Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 78: Breaking the balance of power (4 updates, please follow up)
The main body of the alchemy cannon is a hollow metal cylinder surrounded by three metal prisms as a stable support. It is placed on a rotatable base that looks like a millstone, and the whole body is densely packed with complicated inscriptions.
For ordinary people, these inscriptions are like high-level math problems. Just seeing those symbols makes them feel dizzy and dizzy, and even feel almost crazy when they stare at indescribable things.
But for those who can understand, the inscription on the alchemy cannon is actually quite simple.
"Let me take a look. The city guard is right. The overall structure of the cannon body is fine. The gunpowder is dry and the crystal sand is also very pure. Sure enough, there is something wrong with the ignition inscription."
Originally, it would take a few minutes to check, but because of Scott's prompt, Ian found the problem immediately - when Viscount Grant and the indigenous monsters are fighting, every minute and every second is as precious as gold, He carefully checked what went wrong with the inscription: "Well, it turned out that the sixth inscription was used to ignite. Stability is stable, but it cannot operate in wet areas and water."
"Who maintained it? So lazy!"
The inscriptions have a total of one hundred and three basic structures, no matter how high or low, almost all inscription circuits are constructed by these basic inscriptions.
The igniter of the alchemy cannon is not complicated, but generally speaking, it uses the No. 12 inscription that is prone to high heat as the main body, but this may be a bit complicated, and it will fail quickly, so the person who maintained it last time was lazy , simplifying it into the No. 6 inscription which is more stable and simple, and can be applied in a narrower range.
"It's okay to change back to the twelfth or the eleventh."
Ian took out a small knife from his arms. Although it is not a professional inscription carving knife, the requirements for low-level inscriptions below Sequence Twenty are not high. once will do.
Relying on the physical fitness of the Ascendant Apprentice and the control he had exercised in the past two months, Ian inscribed almost the most standard inscription structure.
Buzz!
When the No. 12 inscription was repaired and the ink cartridge was connected, an extremely bright white light lit up, and the inscription array released brilliance, and the surging heat set off a hot wind, hitting the faces of Ian and Scott.
"Good!"
Wiping off his sweat, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was also the first time for Ian to really get started with maintenance. Although he had good grades, he had never been to the front line because of his young age and Elder Pude's protection.
Now that he can succeed once, it can only show that his basic skills are indeed solid.
At this moment, with the help of the inspection and maintenance just now, Ian even roughly figured out the working principle of the alchemy cannon.
The gun body itself has nothing to say, it is just an ordinary metal gun barrel, which is heat-resistant and strong. The real point is the structure of the base-the ignition process of the gun is quite special. The high-heat airflow generated by gunpowder dust impacts the pan-crystalline sand, and a large amount of charged dust is generated instantly, which is detonated for the second time.
Fanite is a kind of fine alchemy material. It is pale white and has a delicate and astringent feel. Under high heat and high pressure environment, it will sublimate rapidly, and in a very short time, it will become ultra-high pressure high heat plasma and release Extremely high-intensity electric current accelerates the projectile.
This is also the principle of crystal sand explosives, a terrible lightning explosive, and if it is used as a percussion primer for pushing shells
"This is not a cannon at all, it's an electric heat gun!"
After realizing this, Ian was shocked again. In fact, he couldn't fully understand the principle of the alchemy cannon. It is still understandable: "Using high-pressure plasma to directly push the warhead? Is it so insane? The damage is completely overflowing."
That's what he said, but the boy knows very well that there are giant beasts in the world of Terra that can't be used by ordinary artillery. The giant crocodile outside the tower is an excellent example. Let it take a little damage.
As for Viscount Grant's power armor? Not to mention, dodging a cannonball is probably the same as playing.
"Forget it, there will be opportunities to study the principles in the future."
Although he was reluctant to part with him, Ian suppressed his curiosity and stopped studying the structure of the alchemy cannon.
He turned the base of the cannon, started to activate this big killer, and aimed towards Harrison Harbor, which was dark in the night and shrouded in torrential wind.
"Can you see it?"
At this time, Scott carried the door panel downstairs on his body and covered Ian's head to prevent the boy from being disturbed by the falling lime debris. He also looked at the shooting window in front of the muzzle, but he could only Seeing a blank rain curtain: "Even if it hits"
The young city guard swallowed the second half of the sentence, but Ian's eyes lit up with water-colored halos, and the boy replied with a chuckle: "Don't worry, you can see clearly."
Paused, his tone became solemn: "And, I can definitely hit the nail on the head."
Concentrating and holding his breath, Ian raised his brows lightly, and the psionic halo in his eyes was like a faint moonlight. This was the first time he controlled a cannon, and it was also the first time he actively pushed the psionic energy to the limit that he could control now.
In an instant, the entire eastern part of Port Harrison was shrouded in the vision horizon and turned into a mist field, releasing different halos.
And the two most conspicuous viscount Grant, who was armed with ether, and the great shaman driving the swamp crocodile were also within his binocular observation range!
"Hmm"
As if his brain had been hit by a heavy hammer, Ian felt that there were countless sparks bursting out like a bomb exploding in front of his eyes, and bright red blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and nose, and even his body felt hollowed out , as tired as if he had done the difficult exercise requested by Hilliard for more than ten hours in a row.
This is the price of forcibly spying on a large area and being far stronger than yourself.
In contrast, in Ian's eyes, there are also two huge purple mist, they are fighting, colliding, exerting their power to each other, using water, steam, mud and rocks to attack and defend.
In the direction of the Viscount's Mansion, there is still a little purple mist.
"Is the second energy level purple? It seems that the Viscount Mansion really has treasures."
Taking a deep breath, Ian used the breathing guidance technique. He consumed the source matter stored in the source seed and the glycogen stored in the liver to relieve the current fatigue: "The smaller but more solid one is the Viscount, I don't need to pay attention to him, just focus on observing that crocodile"
With the words, the halo of mist representing the crocodile gradually became thicker, and the spiritual energy echoed his own wishes.
Soon, the purple mist reflected in Ian's blue eyes became a mass of constantly flowing and changing images, like images of thermal energy.
However, the most important thing is that on the side of the body of this crocodile composed of many deep purple mist, there is an extremely obvious 'vulnerable zone' with extremely thin mist!
"Such an obvious weakness?"
Ian was taken aback. He really wanted to find the weak point of the crocodile, but he thought it was the eyes, or the base of the tail, or the soft abdomen. He didn't expect that the old crocodile actually had old injuries. : "It looks like it was cut open by a sharp sword and penetrated into the internal organs. Who is so powerful?"
Without thinking so much, he controlled the cannon to turn—the cannon base, which usually requires two people to turn with force, slowly turned under the power of Ian who used the source quality.
And then, launch!
Kacha, the blazing white light blooms, the high-heat gunpowder airflow is fully mixed with the pan-crystal sand, making it instantly sublimated, and a dull thunder explodes in the base of the alchemy cannon—and this thunder pushes the shell, A two-meter-long arc of flame was shot out, and it bombarded the crocodile that was still fighting with Viscount Grant at a speed that surpassed the sound!
Boom! With the sound of shelling that hadn't been heard for a long time, the mud shield on the left foot of the crocodile was splashed and exploded, causing the giant beast to sway in pain.
But that's all, the furious Crocodile even turned its head, and its six scarlet pupils locked on the slightly tilted tower not far away.
—It works, but it misses the mark!
This crocodile is like a small hill that moves and constantly repairs itself. Unless it is bombarded continuously with an entire artillery force, it will be difficult to cause fatal damage!
Ian silently wanted to reload, since he missed the first shot, he would hit again, and at this moment, Scott raised a cannonball and walked over. The cannonball inventory has been taken out, ready to help Ian launch the second launch!
"Thank you!"
Looking at the resolute young city guard with some surprise, Ian nodded and joined forces with Scott to quickly load the shells.
Then, facing the crocodile that turned sideways and insisted on attacking the tower regardless of Viscount Grant's attack, Ian calmly opened the vision vision again, correcting the error of the last shot in his mind.
He takes aim.
The next thing is to launch again.
Boom! The blazing white flames lit up, and the flying shells were like shooting stars, tearing apart the dark night.
At the same time, with the sound of ripping and rotten leather, a big mouth burst out from the flank of the crocodile dragon!
For a moment, everyone including Viscount Grant saw in astonishment that the gigantic beast let out an earth-shattering, angry and painful howl, and the scalding blood gushed out like a volcano, and one could even see a huge beast. Masses of flesh and blood spilled out!
The balance of power in the battle is broken!
