Starting From Zero

Chapter 408 Weapons of Great Contrast

When I heard Pandora's voice, I actually felt that there was something behind me, but Pandora's reminder made me sure that there was indeed some danger behind me, so I turned around and cut it with my sword without hesitation.

The creature behind me was obviously not a high-end creature. The roaring Eternal Sword instantly cut through an obstacle, but it cut through without feeling much resistance, and then cut into the cliff with a clang. The small Minotaur standing behind me watched me fall to the outside of the platform in disbelief, and then fell down.

Now I understand the characteristics of these platforms. Not only do I need to rush for time here, but more importantly, I need to deal with these monsters. Of course, this level is not for you to kill monsters. The monsters here are not actually the main enemy. The real enemy is time. The monsters are just to increase the difficulty and make your time more urgent.

After I just killed the sneak attack monster, I looked around, and soon discovered that identical minotaurs appeared on the surrounding platforms. This little Minotaur is almost the same as the Minotaur standing on the top of the cliff, but there is a huge difference in size between the two. The large Minotaur above is three meters tall and looks about the same as a giant ground sloth. Although the following monsters with your head are also very strong, they are at the level of bodybuilders among humans. They are only 1.9 meters tall and have relatively strong limbs, but they do not exceed the limits of humans.

After discovering that there were so many Minotaurs around, Pandora and I became cautious. These minotaurs do not only appear on certain platforms, but there are minotaurs standing on all platforms. The difference is only the number.

Facing these monsters, all I can do is try to find a platform with fewer Minotaurs to settle on. However, after looking at it carefully, I found that this goal does not seem to be easy to achieve, because all the platforms suitable for me to settle here are There are multiple Minotaurs, and those platforms with only one or two Minotaurs are often in bad locations. One is that it is difficult to get up, and the other is that it is far away. It is difficult to find the next landing point after passing it. So, in the end, I had no choice but to jump onto those unsafe platforms while carrying those minotaurs. However, what really makes me unbearable is that these monsters seem to have very smart minds. They wouldn't wait for me to come up before attacking like those ordinary stupid monsters. Instead, they would start obstructing me as soon as they discovered that I was planning to jump onto the platform they were on.

These guys would use methods such as occupying my foothold in advance and throwing rocks at me while I was still in mid-air to interfere with my landing. I actually succeeded a few times during this period, forcing me to not get to the platform, so I had to change my target halfway and jump towards the next platform. Fortunately, I don't have just one dragon tendon, but two. Relying on the method of exchanging dragon tendons to anchor in different positions, we can barely guarantee that we will not fall, but the ascent process is a little strenuous. Fortunately, our ascent speed still exceeds the mission progress requirements. Because the fragmentation speed below is far unable to keep up with our ascent speed.

It took Pandora and I less than twenty minutes to reach the top of the cliff, and after arriving here, I discovered a very good thing. The scroll I need is actually hanging on the trunk of a tree behind the Bull Demon King. As long as I get that thing, the mission is completed.

After seeing this thing, I didn't pause at all and rushed forward. The top of the cliff is only the size of a basketball court, so it shouldn't take much time to deal with the Minotaur.

Pandora had also reached the top of the cliff when I judged the Minotaur's combat effectiveness. Not the same as me. Pandora didn't stop at all. As soon as she came up, she threw the magic gun in her hand towards the Minotaur.

The Minotaur turned sideways to avoid the spear thrown by Pandora, but when he turned his head back, he found that Pandora was already in front of him.

Although Pandora looks very delicate, she is actually very capable of fighting. Pandora rushed up to the Minotaur with a leap. When the body is in the air, it turns over to a head-down position, and then when it passes over the Minotaur's head, it suddenly grabs the two horns of the Minotaur with both hands. Then her body passed over the Minotaur's head and began to fall, and her arms began to exert force along with the falling body. She actually grabbed the Minotaur and threw it over her head with the help of inertia.

With a loud bang, the three-meter-tall Minotaur was slammed to the ground by Pandora, who was less than 1.7 meters tall.

He looked at the Minotaur lying on the ground in shock. I swallowed my saliva and rushed forward. The Minotaur just raised its upper body from the ground. I rushed up and kicked it straight away from the ground. This is not the end. When the Minotaur was trying to get up again, I had already jumped on this guy's back. The eternity in his hand instantly penetrated this guy's neck and came out from the throat position in front.

The Minotaur stared with its huge bull eyes and covered its neck in disbelief, but in the end it didn't last long before it fell to the ground.

Although this mission was made more difficult and time-consuming under our settings, because the target was not something particularly heaven-defying in the first place, the battle price we paid was not very high. We got the scroll after the Minotaur was killed. It has been less than ten minutes since entering the mission. This is probably the fastest mission completion speed ever.

After getting the scroll, we were automatically teleported out, and the players outside had not dispersed yet. As soon as he saw us appearing, one of the players immediately yelled something excitedly and rushed to the others and yelled: "Give me money, give me money, I said it will take less than half an hour, right? Look, it's only nine and a half minutes, ten minutes." None."

I didn't expect these bastards outside to bet on us, but I don't have time to trouble this guy now. I took Pandora and left the Gate of Truth directly by teleportation, and then appeared directly at Essinger Mobile Fortress. The power core here is in the nearest teleportation array.

It didn't take long to get from this teleportation array to the power core of Essinger Mobile Fortress. Soon we met the player who I had arranged to build the energy pipeline here. The commander was busy at this time. A group of players install connected devices.

Energy pipes are not as simple as wires or liquid pipes. Energy transmission lines are produced in one go. There are generally no contacts in the middle of the lines, and they are not casually connected like wires. Speaking of it, energy pipes may be more like optical fibers used in reality.

People who know fiber optic technology may know this. The connection of optical fiber is not like ordinary lines, which can be connected as soon as you plug it in. The link of this thing is very particular. If an optical fiber is disconnected halfway, special equipment will be needed to reconnect it, which is far from simple. The wires are as simple as just connecting them.

The connection of the energy pipe feels similar to that of an optical fiber, and it is also the kind of thing that cannot be disconnected. At most, a break in the optical fiber will cause data leakage and the inability to transmit signals. Once there is a problem with the energy pipeline, it will not be as simple as being unable to transmit energy. Once this thing leaks, it will produce an ultra-high energy surge at the leakage point, which can range from a fire and explosion to an energy shock wave that detonates the entire energy transmission system.

Precisely because these energy channels are so dangerous and important, everyone is cautious for fear of causing some problems.

The management technician here ran over immediately after seeing me appear.

"President? Are you here to inspect the progress?" the other party asked after seeing me. I directly stated my purpose of coming here. The other party heard that they needed the energy generated by the power core of Essinger Mobile Fortress, so they immediately began to order their people to help open an energy port specifically for us. This was originally a test port, used to check the limit output and stability issues of the core during production, but now it can be used by us.

With this fixed energy port, we immediately started to activate the scroll, and then Ling sensed my message and started to counter-summon. Because Ling has a solar furnace on the primary super aviation battleship as energy output. Therefore, the anti-summoning energy used by Ling was not particularly small, but it was not enough to complete the summoning, but it was still impossible to open a passage opening by relying on this energy.

After the passage opening of Ling's support was opened, the scroll on my side immediately began to work, and the energy generated by the power core on Essinger Mobile Fortress began to replenish the passage. Then in the next second, a huge space passageway formed around me.

Although the power core of Essinger Mobile Fortress and the solar furnace on the primary super aviation battleship provide energy, the problem is that energy costs money. So we have to be quick. The moment the space door opened, I pulled a clone of Pandora and rushed in. Ling very accurately cut off the leveling after we entered the passage. At this time, Pandora and I just fell out of the space door on the other side. .

"I knew you could definitely bring Pandora back!" Woma came over happily after seeing me. As long as Pandora is here, we have an interdimensional signal tower, so that the transnational teleportation array on the Essinger Mobile Fortress on the main plane can locate our side and send energy to supplement our side. The energy is insufficient.

Pandora immediately started asking Woma what she was going to do after seeing her. And I looked at the surrounding environment, and then I found a few boxes of the so-called divine weapons found in the weapons arsenal, which are laser guns with such low power that they can hardly kill anyone.

This thing is actually not a real laser gun. Saying it is a laser gun is just a description. We don't actually know how this thing works. The only thing we know so far is that this thing can still be used. It requires high-level magic crystal energy, which can then be converted into an offensive energy beam and emitted. The flight speed of these energy beams cannot reach the speed of light, but normal people's reaction nerves cannot keep up with this speed. So for ordinary people, this is an attack that cannot be avoided.

Of course, no matter how fast the attack speed is, it cannot change the problem of insufficient power of this thing. Let alone us, even if this thing hits a free NPC, it can only burn the skin. To kill a free NPC, you need to hit it at least ten times in a row. It worked. This kind of power is just an itch for players and those combat creatures. After all, free NPCs are already the weakest existence. Apart from ornamental animals, these free NPCs are probably the best to kill in the game. However, this thing can't even kill free NPCs with one shot. Wouldn't the players who use this thing to deal with half of the monsters be equivalent to fighting others with bayonets with toothpicks? Not everyone is lonely and seeking defeat. Toothpicks are just toothpicks in the hands of most people. Those who can pick leaves, fly flowers and hurt others are extremely rare individuals. It’s not something that the public can do.

Originally, the power of this thing was terrible, so we had given up hope on this thing. We asked Woma to go to the weapons depot anyway to let her see the models and drawings, but we didn't expect it. Although Woma obeyed, he got back these toy gun-like things. This is really disappointing.

"Why did you bring these things back?" I asked Woma with a frown as I looked at the weapons.

Woma seemed to have forgotten this matter before, but suddenly reacted when I mentioned it. He quickly ran over and said, "I haven't said you're being counter-intuitive yet. Why don't you bring me some of these awesome design samples?"

"Cow?" I looked at Woma in surprise and asked, "Have you tried firing it? This thing can't even kill free NPCs, so does it count as a cow? Are you talking about snails?"

Woma said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Are you sure this thing is not working just by firing a few rounds?"

"Otherwise? If it's really awesome, I would have figured it out during the test firing."

"Okay, come with me."

Woma asked for a "laser gun" from one of his subordinates, and then dragged me to the ground. Woma found a big stone not far from the village gate, so she targeted the stone and shot it five hundred meters away. Along with the roar of the colossus. The stone instantly fell into pieces, and a circle of air waves visible to the naked eye spread instantly, blowing away all the nearby smoke and dust. I didn't even see much of the trajectory of the attack munitions. But this is not surprising, because this thing emits a beam of light, which is not easy to detect in a place with good lighting.

Although it’s not surprising that I didn’t see the trajectory of the ammunition, the power of this is really...

"Where did you find this one?" Although it seems that the "laser gun" in Woma's hand is exactly the same as the ones I found before. But the power of the two is too different, right? The previous one could only burn the skin of ordinary people. Some strong searchlights can achieve similar effects if they are continuously irradiated for one minute at close range. This shows how powerful this "laser gun" is. However, although the "laser gun" used by Wal-Mart looks the same on the surface as the ones I have seen before, it is completely different on the inside.

I won’t talk about the power of the “laser gun” I saw before. At most it can be regarded as a super bright searchlight, but now this can be regarded as a kind of cannon. Because the power is obviously very powerful. The stone that was hit was at least as big as an old steam locomotive. Such a big stone was shattered by a single shot. The power of this thing was enough to threaten the lives of most players. If a slightly stronger musketeer used this weapon, he would probably become a powerful force.

There is such a huge difference in power between the two weapons. Obviously not like a weapon.

In addition, there is a more serious vulnerability, which is the damage mode.

There is a reason why I call the thing I discovered before a "laser gun". Although I don't know the internal structure of that thing, it is certain that it emits a beam of light. This beam is very similar to a laser, so it produces a burning effect. If there was a way to increase the power of this weapon, then its normal behavior when it hits a stone would be to punch a big molten hole in the stone, but what do we see? The whole stone exploded.

After a ray weapon hits the target, it should only produce slight traces of penetration, but this thing smashes the target into pieces like a physical cannonball. This obviously even works differently. It would be strange if this could be regarded as the same weapon.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, Woma said directly: "This is the kind of weapon you got before. If you don't believe me, you can go find a weapon that is the same as this one and I will dismantle it on site and show it to you and you will know. What's inside The construction is exactly the same.”

"Then why is the power of the two weapons so different? And even the damage characteristics have changed?"

"The reason is very simple." Woma said: "A weapon that has been placed for thousands of years, how much energy do you think it can have left?"

The reason is very simple, but I was stunned when I suddenly heard such an answer, because I had never thought that this was possible.

"Hey, that's not right!" I suddenly realized.

Woma looked at me and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I've charged this thing before!"

"Then did you charge the ammunition?"

"Ammunition? Isn't this an energy weapon?"

"Who told you this was an energy weapon?"

"But what was emitted was clearly a beam of light! Isn't this an energy weapon?"

"That's because you didn't load any ammunition at all!"

At that moment, I suddenly understood why there was such a big difference between the front and rear of the same weapon. The gun may use energy as a firing force. Ammunition is something else. Before, I only charged the energy storage used as launch power without loading ammunition. It was like an ancient cannon that loaded gunpowder but did not release projectiles. After ignition, the cannon would still emit fire and roar, but because there were no projectiles. So it actually has no power at all. Unless someone standing near the muzzle will be hurt by the high-pressure gas ejected, there will be no lethality.

This was the case with my previous operation. Because I didn’t know much about this kind of weapon, after getting this thing, I subjectively thought it was the same type of weapon as ours. So after I found an energy filling port, I thought it was an energy weapon using energy bombs. So after filling up the energy, I tried firing it several times and found that it had no lethality at all. I decided that this was just what it was, a weapon with very little power.

However, in fact, the weapon at that time was like a front-loaded cannon without shells. It could fire, but it had no lethality at all.

Woma also told me something just now. That is, this "laser gun" is not an energy weapon. It fires physical ammunition, so the damage mode changes because the killing method changes.

"Where did you find the bullet?"

"That river is full of them."

Suddenly I heard Woma say "that river". I didn't realize it for a moment, but I soon realized it. Woma is talking about the underground river full of magic crystals. There are almost as many magic crystals in that river as there are pebbles in ordinary rivers, and if Woma is talking about that river, that means the ammunition fired by this weapon is - magic crystal?

"This thing uses magic crystals as ammunition?"

"Of course." Woma nodded: "The design of this weapon is very unique, and the technology in it is actually not much better than ours. It is even inferior to us in some aspects. However, their idea is really exquisite. This weapon The launch cabin will crush the magic crystal, then send the magic crystal fragments into the launch tube, and then use the filled energy as power to launch the magic crystal at super high speed. During this process, the magic crystal will be activated, Put it into an unstable state. When it hits the target, the magic crystal fragments will explode. But the power of this weapon does not stop there. The key is that they also have a temporary addition to the magic crystal fragments. The magic circle. This magic circle is completed in the gun, and the magic circle has been activated before firing.

On the surface, it looks like the magic crystal is fired when the gun is fired, but in fact, what is fired is a completed energy matrix, which is the magic circle. This gun can launch the completed magic circle together with the magic crystal, and the magic crystal has been acting as the energy source to maintain the magic circle during this period. When the ammunition hits an obstacle, that is, the target, the magic circle will automatically change from the active state to the working state due to structural changes. At this time, the magic circle will completely release the energy in the magic crystal in a very short period of time and release the energy according to the settings of the magic circle. "

After Woma explained it like this, I understood why this thing is so powerful.

Although the magic crystal is very powerful when it explodes, it is actually a waste. Most of the energy of the magic crystal was wasted in the explosion. If a burst magic array is used to release all the energy of the magic crystal, the explosive force generated will be dozens of times more powerful than the self-destruction of the magic crystal. times.

This gun takes advantage of this principle. Although the launched magic crystal itself does not have much energy, if it is activated as the energy base of a magic circle that can produce an explosion, then the final power will be considerable.

After thinking about this, I suddenly understood why this gun would emit light beams when the magic crystal was not installed before.

In fact, it was not a beam of light at all, but the magic circle shot out by this gun. This magic array should be a fire-based magic array, but because there is no magic crystal as energy, when the magic array hits the target, it can only use the energy in its own circulation to trigger fire-based energy, which will produce something similar to burning. After all, the magic array itself does not have too much energy, so this gun has previously shown the characteristics of a very low-power beam weapon.

After thoroughly understanding the characteristics of this thing, I finally understood why the gap between the front and rear of this thing is so big. I kept firing the blank gun for a long time before doing it.

"So, don't we make a lot of money this time?" I said excitedly looking at the weapon in my hand.

Woma nodded and said, "It's more profitable than you think."

"Um?"

"Are you thinking that with so many guns and weapons, you can arm the ordinary NPCs in our guild?" Woma asked.

Although the power of this weapon is pretty good, it is actually only compared to before. To be honest, this thing has just been upgraded from the previous toy gun to an ordinary weapon, because like the huge stone before, Any single target skill of an ordinary player can actually produce similar destructive effects, which means that the power of this weapon is nothing more than the lethality of an ordinary player. Of course, because this is a long-range weapon and has a faster rate of fire than a bow and arrow, it is more practical. But this still cannot escape the category of ordinary weapons. As long as a powerful player can easily approach the person using this weapon and kill him, thus rendering the weapon useless. Therefore, this thing sounds good, but it is far from the point where it can change the battlefield pattern. Moreover, even if our guild learns the technology inside, we will only be able to copy a small amount at most. The power of this thing determines that mass production has no practical significance.

I admitted Woma's guess and said, "That's what I thought. Is there still room for development of this thing?"

"Not only is it there, it's very big."

"How to say?"

Woma said: "The value of this weapon itself is actually only this, but the several technologies in it have a value that is so huge that you can hardly imagine it."

"What's the technology in this?" I'm not an idiot. I just didn't think about it carefully before. Now after being reminded, of course I immediately thought of what Woma meant. "Ah! I understand! You are talking about the magic circle technology that can be launched. Think about it carefully, this is really a treasure!" (To be continued ~^~)
