Chapter 278: Anti-City Treasure? We Need More Power!

The production of mechanical troops already takes a certain amount of time. These dangerous creations used in war cannot be put on the surface, and the speed of construction is greatly slowed down.

It will take at least more than a month to complete the manufacturing and assembly of two models and a total of 80 battlefield mechas.

This is the time required after upgrading the skills and greatly increasing the production speed of the assembly line.

The mechanical troops and the exploration of the city of Belvis in the Void were temporarily put aside by Li Lin.

Early the next morning, he got up early, kissed Caitlin goodbye who was still in bed, and then put on his armor and flew to Piltover University.

The Gaibojia project has entered the final stage. The entire fuselage will be assembled today and will enter performance testing.

Li Lin went directly through the skylight and landed in the renovated manufacturing workshop of Yodel Academy.

Located in the center of the entire workshop is the 189-meter-tall mechanical giant Gai Boga.

Stacked and staggered scaffolding is built around it, supporting steel plates that can be used for walking, and yordle mechanics flexibly move back and forth in every corner.

Humans who are larger and less agile than the yordles are responsible for the work on the ground.

As outstanding talents at the University of Piltover, everyone has their own modules and is busy with their essential work in an orderly manner.

The flames of the plasma jet devices behind hundreds of mechanical engineers were beating, and they were flying around in groups of two or three in the air. From time to time, they penetrated into Geboga's body through gaps, or used laser rays to weld somewhere on its surface. Work.

In addition, Gaiboga's head cockpit, the ultimate weapon of his right arm "Gaiboga's Fist", and many compressed rocket missiles are suspended in the air by slings.

More than a dozen Hex cranes and various small intelligent robots invented by Heimerdinger were parked around Gaborga's feet like ants.

In the huge space, there were almost no other sounds except the pinging of metal and the flashing flash of welding.

Li Lin, who was flying in the air, briefly attracted the attention of the mechanics, but these people were not surprised that he came here often these days.

[Gaiboga is expected to be completed by 17:28 this evening. 】

Inside the armor, Zhinao reminded Li Lin.

He controlled the armor to land quickly, preparing to go to the temporary workshop to find Heimerdinger.

But when he had just arrived at the door, Heimerdinger's slightly horrified cry suddenly came from an explosion-proof room on the other side: "Oh, oh, oh, oh! God, this is really a disaster!"

Li Lin turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be shocked by the image of Heimerdinger in a gray hood with a dirty face, stained with various oils and dust, covering his original hair color.

Before he could react, the mechanical engineers following Heimerdinger immediately closed the blast door tightly.

The next second, a violent explosion sounded in the explosion-proof room, causing the entire construction workshop floor to faintly shake, attracting everyone's attention.

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Heimerdinger's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he quickly took the handkerchief from Skye who hurried over, casually wiped his dirty face, and then cleared his throat.

"Ahem... There was a slight accident in the experiment, but it's not a problem! Everyone, hurry up and get busy with your work. We must finish this big thing today!"

After hearing the professor's instructions, people became busy again.

Then, Heimerdinger saw Li Lin, returned the handkerchief to Skye, and then walked up to him with small steps.

"Good morning, kid." Heimerdinger waved to him.

But Li Lin's attention was not on Heimerdinger at all, "Professor, what happened just now?"

His gaze stayed on the explosion-proof room in the distance. The automated fire-fighting facilities inside had extinguished the flames, and several mechanical engineers opened the explosion-proof doors, preparing to go in and clean up all kinds of debris and debris.

"Well...hehe~~" Heimerdinger blew his beard and smiled sheepishly, "You still remember the new design drawings you gave me some time ago, right?"

Li Lin unfolded his mask, raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded, gaining some understanding of the explosion.

As expected, Heimerdinger's next words confirmed his conjecture: "By studying your material projection cannon and its upgraded version of the mega-class cannon, I came to some conclusions and wanted to verify them."

When it came to talking about scientific matters, Heimerdinger seemed to be in a state of ecstasy, seeming to have completely forgotten about the explosion that had just frightened him.

"The mega-class cannon developed by you is an extremely large mass accelerator cannon. Even the smallest caliber is about 5 meters. It can only be installed on axis-based fixed weapons..."

He pointed to the nuclear fusion reactor on Geboga's chest.

According to Li Lin's design idea, the mega-class cannon is too powerful. If it is installed on Gai Bojia's left arm, it will be scrapped after only two or three rounds with a power output of more than 50%.

Even the high-density compressed materials and the Hex steel plate coating developed by Heimerdinger couldn't withstand it.

In desperation, this Geboga's main gun adopted a "deformed" form and was installed directly outside the nuclear fusion reactor, connecting to the energy supply core to directly absorb energy.

When used, a huge fixed-axis main gun will be quickly extended and assembled to store energy, and the special projectiles loaded inside will be fired to strike the target at an ultra-long distance.

According to Zhi Nao's estimation, if Piltover is the center of the circle, the maximum power range can cover Shurima Bergun, which is thousands of kilometers away. One blow is enough to easily destroy this densely populated town.

These were designed by Li Lin, and of course he understood them, so he stared at Heimerdinger with a confused look.

"Ahem... Actually, the main gun you designed is far more powerful than all our current weapons, but its limitations are too great."

Heimerdinger's face straightened, "It can only load one special cannon projectile at a time, and it takes at least 1 minute to charge to 100% power, which is too inefficient."

"In my opinion, it should be used as a Noble Phantasm against the city...I mean, it should be used as a strategic weapon against the city. Such attacks should not be carried out unless absolutely necessary."

Li Lin shook his head and explained, "If it is only used for defensive combat or on the battlefield, Gaboga's other weapon systems, such as shaped arc lasers, shaped particle light spears, and material projection cannons, are enough."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me."

What Heimerdinger wanted to express was obviously not what Li Lin understood.

"I understand your thoughts, and I actually think so too... But what I want to say is, since it is a strategic weapon, why can't we continue to upgrade it? For example... increase its power and increase its power? "

Good guy...

Your idea is dangerous, Professor!

Obviously more than a year ago in the Parliament, you opposed the manufacture of weapons and hoped for peace.

Li Lin's eyes widened slightly, and he was a little surprised by Heimerdinger's transformation.

Without giving him a chance to speak, Heimerdinger lowered his big head and stretched out his hand to rub his dark chin.

"Your design idea is very novel, and it uses a variety of technologies that even I have never seen before... But through the mega-class cannon, I discovered one thing, its power can actually continue to increase!"

Heimerdinger suddenly opened his hands and made an "explosion" gesture, his eyes flashing with excitement, "What do you think if the mega-class cannon is upgraded again...to a giga-class cannon?"

Isn’t this a new technology that I can unlock at level 60?

Li Lin forced down the shock in his heart, and found that he still underestimated Heimerdinger's intelligence.

Without the technology provided by the system, he could find a way to go further just by reverse-engineering his own design drawings.

Li Lin suddenly felt that even if he had the [Mechanic System], he was still not as good as this "Technology Bobi" who had been studying science for thousands of years in some aspects.

but……

With Heimerdinger's rough character, he obviously doesn't know the consequences of failure to upgrade the mega-class cannon.

Both cities will bury him together because of his behavior.

If you can... no, I should say you must.

Li Lin couldn't let Heimerdinger handle the upgrade of the "mega-class cannon". He had to wait until he upgraded to level 60 to unlock this weapon technology.

"Your idea is very good...Professor, but I think we have to eat one bite at a time. We must first learn to walk before we can learn to run."

Li Lin intentionally or unintentionally looked at the explosion-proof room that Heimerdinger had just emerged from.

Heimerdinger noticed Li Lin's eyes and obviously realized what he wanted to express.

"Oh yes~~I still have to be careful, start with the most basic..."

"No, what I mean is..." Li Lin took a deep breath, "Actually, I have already been researching the giga-level cannon. You just need to give me a while. You don't have to waste time on this."

Thanks for the tip!
