Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 17: Gradually perfect defense system

"Magnetic Storm Coil?"

Lan Dian knew what it was from the name. It was obviously some kind of special defensive tower, using lightning instead of cannonballs... It was nothing strange, but he was a little curious about the specific power of this magnetic storm coil.

"But first do your job well."

Thinking of this, Lan Dian went to the castle with elemental crystal supplies.

On the way to the castle, Lan Dian saw white civilian soldiers distributing free buns at the entrance of the street, and there was a sign on the side, which read the conscription announcement, and adult men who were willing to abide by discipline were given priority.

"Lai'anling is not suitable for recruiting soldiers. They are all mountain people. God knows if they will resign."

Thinking of this in Lan Dian's heart, he soon came to the old castle, which is now the Anling Municipal Center.

The castle is on the top of the cliff, looking up from the bottom of the cliff, you can clearly see the burly black armor on the top of the castle.

Although the scarlet electronic eye of the Cyclops has not been activated, the ruby-like luster is still daunting—just like in the information, the armored main armed light prism cannon has been melted due to overload, but that Lord Alchemist built a brand new one out of spare parts.

Except that the color of the gun barrel does not match the armor body, everything is the same as the original one.

The soldiers of the White People wearing solid armor are manipulating a strange huge armor at the camp at the bottom of the cliff.

This armor is about three meters high and quite burly. It is completely different from ordinary sublimation armor. It looks like an iron can. The head armor and chest armor are completely integrated. There is only one observation port similar to a diving helmet. .

Two overly thick I-shaped launch ports protrude from both sides of its body, and thick but rough armor covers its whole body.

"What is this again?"

Lan Dian was curious again. With his professional scout skills, he can naturally see that this set of giant armor is the "new type of armed force" that Yin En is manufacturing recently...Indeed, Yin En is a genius in armor design , he assembled the Cyclops from various parts in just two weeks.

But in a rural place like Nanling with poor conditions and poor equipment, what new things can he tinker with?

"No, I have to report to your lord."

Lan Dian heard the conversation of the soldiers of the White People, it was a very young voice: "The magnetic storm armor is too heavy, we can't put it on before starting the power system, but we have to put it on before starting the power system!"

"This is a design error." Another soldier said: "We should ask the workshop to come up with a set of brackets to assist the armor, otherwise we will not be able to wear this thing if we are exhausted."

—Of course. Lan Dian thought to himself, for an iron lump that is nearly three meters high, this armor weighs more than two tons, right?

No matter how strong the people of Terra are, they cannot be sublimated, nor can they wear two tons of armor.

It is possible to lift it up, but it is a world of difference between lifting it and putting it on.

However, apart from the weight, the strength of this armor is obviously a bit too much.

Lan Dian can tell that although the surface armor of these armors looks rough, they are actually the same type of 'shock-resistant armor' as the ether armour-this thing is the secret of many alchemists. Defensive carapace against all types of attack.

Ordinary first-level sublimators want to break this can, and they may have to fight this armor for fifteen days...the armor must not fight back.

"But the consumption is also very high - a few armors can't stop the mountain people."

With this in mind, Lan Dian led the supply team all the way to the gate of the castle.

"The supply from Nauman City... I really want to thank Colonel Mayova."

When Yin En knew that the crystallization of the elements had arrived, he went out of the castle to greet him personally. After he knew that Lan Dian and the others were actually mercenaries, his eyes lit up immediately, he looked at the iron people in front of him seriously, and then showed a satisfied look Smile: "That's just right... Do you have any tasks to do next?"

"That's not true."

When Lan Dian saw Yin En, he was a little stunned. Although he knew that the new lord from Lai'an collar was good-looking before he came, but because the name 'Alchemy Genius' is more famous, he didn't pay much attention to it. , I thought it was just flattery from the nobles in the imperial capital circle.

But I didn't expect the other party to look so good-looking? It's almost like a real goblin...

How strong should the name of an alchemy genius be able to cover up this appearance?

Because he was intimidated by Yin En's charm, what Lan Dian said next was a bit out of his mind: "Sir, tell us, if you have anything to send, you can send us."

"That's it."

Lan Dian saw Yin En smiling, which was a very beautiful scene, but his heart suddenly moved, and he felt a little bad.

—Did I just reveal something?

He became vigilant instinctively, but then Yin En's words changed the subject: "I heard someone report that I saw you observing the magnetic storm armor at the bottom of the cliff for a long time... What, do you have any opinions?"

"I don't know much about it."

Lan Dian said cautiously: "But I heard from those soldiers that this armor is too heavy to put on..."

"I'm actually more interested in that peculiar tower than the armor." He said truthfully. After all, all kinds of sublimation armors are not uncommon, but such a large magnetic storm tower is really rare.

"This is indeed a problem."

Yin En nodded thoughtfully, but fortunately, the bracket supporting A is not difficult to build: "As for the tower you mentioned...is it a magnetic storm coil? I'll take you to observe it."

Yin En made a decision, and Lan Dian naturally couldn't refuse, so the mercenary group followed Yin En and the White Guards to the magnetic storm coil in the north of the city.

In the past two days, due to the comprehensive resumption of work in Ancheng, Yin En, as the lord, is also willing to pay for food and money, and the reconstruction and arrangement of various important facilities have been completed at an astonishing speed.

The construction waste left by those damaged buildings was also used to fill up the ditches dug by the mountain people in the roads, and if it was impossible, they also crushed the piles of rocks as targets to test the power of various weapons.

The several two-meter-high rock piles in front of the magnetic storm coil are the origin of this.

The surface of the magnetic storm coil is a metal pillar, surrounded by circles of metal rings, the top layer is a metal ball, and the arc visible to the naked eye flashes on it, and there are dense inscriptions on the base and the coil , they are flickering, guiding the power of thunder.

The technician in the workshop, the bald craftsman Amber, is instructing several technicians to calibrate some parts of the magnetic storm coil. He saw Yin En leading a group of people behind him, and he took the initiative to greet him: "My lord."

He directly reported: "The magnetic storm coil is operating normally. You are right. Compared with miniaturizing the magnetic storm generator from the beginning, we should build a larger model."

"Now we have fully mastered the technical essence of the magnetic storm generator, believe us, we can definitely manufacture the finished product within three days!"

"I trust you, you are the most diligent and studious craftsman I have ever seen." Yin En encouraged Amber with a smile: "Actually, you can armor the first magnetic storm armor in two and a half days. Once the armor part is made, it is incredible enough."

"It's a small matter. We used to manufacture a lot of equipment for the previous Baron Lai'an, from armor to experiments..." At this point, Amber suddenly got stuck. Under Yin En's meaningful expression, the bald craftsman coughed One voice: "And your nails. That is the most critical part."

"Without it, the defensive power of the magnetic storm armor would not be so exaggerated."

"As long as you work for me, it doesn't matter what your past is."

Yin En waved his hand, and he motioned for Amber to start the magnetic storm coil: "I also want to see the power of the future defense towers in our territory."

"Please wait." The bald craftsman stretched out his hand, guiding Yin En and others to the observation area aside.

Lan Dian watched as the magnetic storm coil was activated, and as the alchemy furnace in the base began to operate, the ear-piercing current explosion sound began to operate, and then, the huge current condensed with the energy conversion, and finally in the 'Python Zi——" burst out with a sound, turned into a thick arc, and bombarded a rock target 300 meters away.

Accompanied by deafening explosions, debris splashed, and the high-heated air was permeated with the scorched smell of electricity, while the rock targets in the distance were flying all over the sky in the black smoke, creating large clouds of charged dust.

The two-meter-high rock target was blown to pieces. It is conceivable that the flesh and blood of human beings may not be able to resist this kind of power. Level of current, there will definitely be parts failure.

"Oh!"

Lan Dian's eyes widened. He began to like this simple and crude defensive tower—although the range didn't seem very far, only 300 meters. After all, the source quality lightning couldn't alleviate the distance attenuation.

However, as a tower building that defends key facilities, its reliable power is enough to cover up its flaws.

But after waiting for a long time, about twenty seconds later, he saw the magnetic storm coil launch a second attack.

The thick electric current fell on the wooden target almost instantly, instantly igniting it and turning it into black charcoal.

Although the power is still amazing, Lan Dian frowned.

"What?"

Yin En has been watching from the side all the time. He noticed Lan Dian's expression, and asked with a chuckle, "As a thunder attribute sublimator, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved? For example, the lethality..."

"No, my lord."

Lan Dian frowned and pondered his words, and he said euphemistically: "The lethality of the magnetic storm coil is already quite reliable... This power should be taken seriously even by sublimators. If you don't die, you probably only have the strength to escape."

"But its attack frequency...is a bit too slow."

Obviously, the attack interval of more than 20 seconds is difficult for Lan Dian to accept - it is impossible to say that such a big tower only attacks sublimators, right? It must attack other targets, and the sublimator can quickly approach and destroy it while the magnetic storm coil is charging.

"After all, it is a civilian alchemy furnace core. If it is used for military use, it should be able to increase to about seven seconds."

Yin En sighed, this time for real: "There are too many poor ones for military and civilian use, but the price of military alchemy furnace cores is outrageous."

"It's not necessary..."

Lan Dian approached the magnetic storm coil. He carefully observed the towering defense tower, and then nodded slightly: "My lord, I don't think this is a big problem, but I may need some batteries."

"The electricity generated by the alchemy furnace core is stored in the battery on weekdays, and it can be activated when needed. This can greatly increase the charging speed, and it should be able to barely catch up with the output of the military furnace core in a short time."

"Like this..."

Blue Electric stretched out his hand, and the iron man's arm was bronze-colored, and blue electric light wrapped around his arm: "Extra electric energy can accelerate the charging speed of the magnetic storm coil-whether it is a sublimator, a battery or other sources."

Electric light flickered, and a current visible to the naked eye erupted from the blue electric body and submerged into the magnetic storm coil.

Soon, with the additional charging of the blue electricity, the charging speed of the magnetic storm coil this time was greatly increased, and the next attack current was condensed in less than ten seconds.

And this time, it completely shattered the target—the attack power has also been significantly improved!

"Good job!"

Seeing this scene, both Yin En and Amber's eyes lit up. It's not that they haven't thought about this idea, but the time is too short to test and experiment.

Landian took it as an example and practiced relevant technical reliability for them!

"Mr. Blue Electric."

Going forward, Yin En raised his hand and patted Lan Dian's shoulder with a smile: "We come to Anling, and we need talents like you!"

"Are you interested in accepting my employment as a special experimenter in the Lai'anling Alchemy Workshop to conduct tests and research related to magnetic storm technology? Guaranteed good salary, and additional rewards!"

"Huh?"

Lan Dian opened his eyes wide, he was a little dazed.

I'm just here to **** an elemental crystal supply, right? Why was he suddenly hired as an experimenter?

No...it was wrong from the beginning...why do you want to be in the limelight? ! This is not in line with the professional ethics of his true identity...

At this moment, because of his excellent professionalism, Lan Dian suddenly sensed that something was wrong... It seems that from the very beginning, his thinking and schedule were all at the mercy of this young man in front of him?

Although there is indeed a reason why Colonel Mayova asked him to obey Yin En's instructions, it is really not right...

At this moment, looking around, Lan Dian found that he was surrounded by craftsmen and soldiers, and the young lord in front of him was still looking at him expectantly.

Really...can you refuse?

Swallowing in secret, Lan Dian smiled on the surface: "Of course...it's my honor."

Abducting a thunder-attribute sublimator as a tester, Yin En is in a good mood now-according to the current progress, there is a high probability that within this week, the magnetic storm generator will be officially installed on the magnetic storm armor, allowing the killing The machine can be officially started.

The crystallization of the elements sent by Nauman City really solved the urgent need. It can only be said that Colonel Mayova and Marquis of Barton are indeed very accurate.

However, at night, Yin En got some good or bad news from Scott.

"Is something abnormal in Lai'an Lake?"

Yin En raised his head and raised his eyes from the design drawings. He wondered: "The citizen who fetched water said he saw a monster?"
