Chapter 1013 Exploding Ball

When I heard the goblin leader describe the new weapon, a model vaguely appeared in my mind: the cannonball used in ancient times.

I have seen the appearance of ancient cannonballs in some pictures, and they are all of the same type: round, black, with a fuse, and can explode.

With this mentality, I don't think the new inventions of the Goblin Squad can bring any kind of shock to me.

When the actual object was handed to me, I was even more sure of my idea. This was the spherical cannonball used in ancient wars.

However, when the goblin leader explained to me the structural principles of this cannonball and showed me how to use it, I just discovered that most of my previous guesses were wrong.

This is indeed a black ball, but this is just the prototype it shows to us. The purpose is to facilitate grasping and throwing.

I picked up one of them, it was a little heavy, and I pinched it twice. The shell was very hard, and it was difficult to dent it without using my fingers.

The surface of its shell is indeed as dark as ink. Under the light, I can vaguely see a strange-shaped rune carved on it. This rune is exactly the same as a rune on my arm. I remember Dewey once said I described it and studied it, and later told me its meaning, but I forgot about it.

The goblin leader said: "Sir An Xiaoyi, this rune is one of the research results of Mr. Dewey. Engraving it on explosives will double the power of the explosion."

I nodded and turned the black ball half a circle. A small circular hole and an extended lead appeared in front of my eyes.

The goblin leader said: "This is its lead, the purpose is to allow it to change various shapes."

Nani?

Change shape?

I looked at the goblin leader with a question mark on my face, and the leader said: "Master An Xiaoyi, did you just think that this negative wire was used to detonate it?"

I asked, "Isn't it?"

"No," the goblin leader said, "I just said, this lead is used to change its shape."

I was confused.

The goblin leader picked up another black ball from the side, took a fire stick, and lit its fuse.

Watching the fuse burning, I curiously approached the black ball, wanting to witness this miraculous moment with my own eyes.

In fact, I am not worried at all that this black ball will explode suddenly, not only because I trust the goblin's craftsmanship, but also because with my strength, even if I am hit head-on by a large magic missile, it will only cause extremely minor flesh injuries.

Of course, I am referring to the general type of large magic missile. If a magic missile the size of a car hits me, I will still be unbearable.

When the fuse burned to the end, a soft "pop" sound came from the black ball, just like the sound made when covering the sand with your palm.

The goblin leader nodded at me, and then he raised his palm flat, so that the black ball with the burning fuse was fully displayed in front of me, bent his fingers, and kept kneading the black ball into various shapes, and then he stretched out another With his hand, he pulled the black ball hard, pulling the black ball into a long strip, and shook it in mid-air for a few times.

I couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect it to be so soft, but this one without the ignition fuse is very hard."

"That's for sure, Lord An Xiaoyi," the goblin leader explained: "We have added many kinds of additives to it."

As he spoke, he handed me a data sheet to look at.

However, I looked left and right, and continued to read, but I still couldn't understand the data on it, and I couldn't figure out some of the professional terms.

I returned the data list to the team leader and said, "Although I don't understand the meaning of it at all, I can feel the depth of it. I have to say, you guys are really amazing."

All the goblins scratched the back of their heads and laughed sheepishly.

I looked at the long black strip in the leader's hand and asked, "How did this thing explode?"

The leader said: "As long as you throw it out, it will explode when it hits an object."

As he spoke, the leader kneaded the black strip in his hand into a ball again and threw it as far away as he could.

However, due to the innate limitations of the goblin race, although his arms looked very strong, they were actually quite weak. When the black dumpling was thrown about ten meters by him, it began to fall, and finally landed eleven or two meters away from us. Location.

That thing was exactly as the goblin leader said. As soon as it touched the ground, there was a loud bang, and the air waves of the explosion spread out in all directions, carrying the dust on the ground, and dissipated when it was still one or two meters away from us.

After the dust calmed down, I took a few steps forward and saw that a dent of about one centimeter had been made on the ground where the explosion occurred.

I nodded slightly and praised the leader standing next to me: "This is very powerful."

There is a reason why I praise them. The area occupied by the goblins was paved with a thick layer of marble tiles not long after they were occupied. The original purpose was to prevent the ground from collapsing due to the overweight of the puppets.

You must know that these marble floor tiles are different from ordinary marble floor tiles. They are specially processed and are extremely hard, wear-resistant and acid-resistant. If they are not subject to a strong attack, they are difficult to be damaged. Of course, their price It is also relatively much more expensive.

It can make a dent of about one centimeter in the floor tiles. It can be said that the power released by this black ball when it explodes is twice as powerful as that of ordinary large magic missiles.

After weighing the black ball in my hand, I asked the goblin leader, "What's the name of this thing?"

The leader said: "It has no name."

"Why can't you give me a name?"

The leader said: "We are waiting for you to give it a name."

"Me? No, no, no, I can't name it. This is the fruit of your labor, and you should name it yourself."

The goblin leader was silent for a while, and then he said: "Since you have said so, sir, we will just take the order. Please wait a moment."

I leaned on the leg of the battle puppet, playing with the black ball in my hand, while waiting for the outcome of the goblins' discussion.

A few minutes later, the goblin leader came to me and said respectfully: "Sir, we have already thought of a name."

"what is it call?"

"Explosive ball."

I almost fell to the ground, holding on to the puppet's legs. My eyes twitched and I asked, "Is there any name that sounds more domineering?"

The goblin leader shook his head and said, "No."

Sighing, I said: "Okay, let's call it Explosive Ball."

As I said that, I weighed the explosive ball in my hand again, and said to myself: "It can explode, and it's a ball. Don't mention it, the name is really vivid."
