Chapter 70 Superluminal Energy Breaker and Hybrid Metal Cannon
"Boss! It's exploded! It's exploded!"
Duan Ming was woken up by his partners early the next morning. The first sentence he heard shocked him.
Suddenly jumping up from the rocking chair, Duan Ming looked around and asked: "Are there enemies coming? What's exploded?"
The partners stared at Duan Ming like a fool, and the meaning in their eyes was not concealed at all.
The IQ of their own boss is sometimes really frustrating!
Bai Xianglu walked to Duan Ming and reminded him in a low voice.
"Didn't you say in the chat area yesterday that we are recruiting people? Everyone's private chat is bursting with resumes!"
Duan Ming was stunned, and then opened his own chat area for private chat. The next moment, the private chat system gave Duan Ming a prompt that made him laugh and cry.
"Due to too many private chats, the system has temporarily crashed. Please wait patiently for repair."
Half an hour later, after Duan Ming contacted Captain Lindenwan, the system was repaired as soon as possible, which also attracted a complaint from Captain Lindenwan.
"Are you trying to build a private army? Be restrained!"
All the private messages of Duan Ming and his partners were repaired. After a rough count, there were more than 2,000 pioneers who submitted their resumes to them last night!
You should know that the number of pioneers in the entire Seventh Domain is only about 10,000, and one-third of them are attached to the Han family.
"Boss, how many people should we recruit this time?"
Duan Ming had already made plans for the number of people.
A medium-sized warship has a standard crew of 50 people, and two ships have a total of 100 people. In addition, Duan Ming is also preparing to recruit 20 more people. The size of the Fire Rock Beast is getting bigger and bigger, and the weapons and equipment on it are also increasing. It is not enough to rely on an interstellar computer to control them all.
"You will review the resumes in your private messages, select 200 people from them, and organize them for me."
After hearing Duan Ming's arrangement, everyone dispersed and checked the resumes of those pioneers.
Duan Ming received the resumes of 200 candidates submitted by his partners in half a day.
"Boss, if you ask me, why don't we just recruit them all! Just buy a few dozen more warships and form two warships. If the Cheng family comes, we won't be afraid of them in a head-on fight!"
Duan Ming shook his head helplessly and explained.
"With the resources we have now, 120 people are already the limit. The newly recruited members still need some time to adapt and observe. Our Duan family has only one concept, it is better to have no one than to have something unqualified!"
From the 200 resumes, Duan Ming finally finalized 120 people, personally replied to their private messages, sent them the coordinates of the Fire Rock Beast, and asked them to arrive as soon as possible.
...
It will take a few days for these newly recruited pioneers to arrive. During this time, Duan Ming and others reorganized the weapons and equipment on the Fire Rock Beast and the Ice Crystal Beast.
Under Bai Xianglu's research and development, the Fire Rock Beast now has ten starship main guns, hundreds of laser turrets, and a reserve of about thirty spontaneous star-breaking mines.
The partners' respective development bases have also added some corresponding weapons, most of which are for defense.
"How is the development of the super-light-speed energy cannon going?"
In the past few days, Bai Xianglu has been working beside the mineral compressor except for resting. Tang Yaqing helps her shape the metal of any shape and size she needs. The two of them cooperate very well.
Bai Xianglu raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, and replied without raising her head: "There are still some small details to debug, and it will be assembled soon."
Hearing Bai Xianglu say this, Duan Ming simply squatted here. Although he couldn't help much, he could at least accompany them.
Half an hour later, Bai Xianglu let out a long breath and stood up slowly.
Perhaps because she had been squatting on the ground for too long, Bai Xianglu suddenly stood up and felt dizzy, falling backwards. Fortunately, Duan Ming was quick and stepped forward to support her.
Looking at Bai Xianglu's pale face, Duan Ming said distressedly: "Take a rest first, the weapon is not in a hurry."
Bai Xianglu shook her head. Although her face was full of fatigue, the sense of accomplishment in her eyes was not inferior at all.
"I'm done with the work. It's not too late to rest after trying the effect."
The assembled super-light-speed energy cannon was connected to the interstellar computer. The computer calculated something at a high speed and gave a conclusion after a long time.
"No loopholes were found. You can try to launch the shells."
Bai Xianglu finally had a long-lost smile on her face. She turned her head and looked at Tang Yaqing. Tang Yaqing understood and raised her right hand. The first mixed metal shell she had forcibly fused rose from the ground and slowly entered the barrel of the super-light-speed energy cannon.
The shells used in general super-light-speed energy cannons are all made of specially treated energy-gathering materials. Because the firing speed of the super-steel-plastic energy cannon is extremely fast, shells made of general materials cannot withstand such speed.
However, Tang Yaqing proposed to use the metal ball at her fusion point as a shell.
Tang Yaqing can control the volume of the metal ball at will, so the size of the shell does not matter. As for the material, the metal ball is made of some rare metals, which are no less hard than the energy-gathering material.
I just don't know if this super-light-speed energy cannon can withstand the launch of this mixed metal shell.
Let the Fire Rock Beast temporarily stay away from this mining area until the distance between the two sides reaches 5,000 meters.
Aiming the super-light-speed energy cannon at the mining area, Duan Ming pressed the start button on the interstellar computer under the gaze of everyone.
The next moment, a terrifying energy wave spread everywhere with the super-light-speed energy cannon as the center.
"Boom!"
Even if it is launched, it can cause such a huge roar, which shows its power.
Almost at the moment when the super-light-speed energy cannon was launched, the Fire Rock Beast, which had been prepared, quickly retreated because of the huge energy, and barely stopped until 500 meters away.
The mixed metal shell flew out from the barrel, drawing a perfect arc in the universe at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the shell hit the mining belt, but to everyone's surprise, the mining belt did not react at all and still floated quietly in that area.
"What's the situation? Did it fail?"
Just as Tang Yaqing finished speaking, Bai Xianglu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
"No! Success!"
Everyone was stunned, but the next moment, they understood what Bai Xianglu meant by this sentence.
It turned out that the penetration power of this mixed metal shell was too strong, directly piercing the mining belt and staying in the center of the mining belt.
Because the launch speed was extremely fast, and when penetrating the mining belt, it generated a huge impact force, the repulsive force of various rare metals inside the mixed metal reached its peak in an instant.
"Boom!"
A loud noise that was more than ten times louder than the previous one came from the mining area. Then, the entire mining area was shattered by the explosion of the mixed metal barrel!
