Heavenly Dao Formula

The new weapon the high priest was talking about was the large electromagnetic gun that had been tested in the northern suburbs.

After the expansion design, its overall size is comparable to that of the Xuanwu Mechanism Beast—although most of the structure is used to fix the base of the gun body, its electromagnetic launcher has also been unprecedentedly increased to the eighteen-foot level. Restricted by the level of smelting, such a slender slider cannot be formed at one time, and can only be realized by multi-stage splicing. Not to mention the low yield, the production cycle is also extremely long. From the success of the experiment to today, only two of the same model have been manufactured by the Machine Building Bureau, and all of them have been installed on the Noah tree boat.

However, the benefits of increasing the launcher are also obvious.

A longer track means greater acceleration distance, and accommodates larger long-stem projectiles. At the same time, it also reduces the requirements for the operator in a disguised form. Even an alchemist who is not so proficient in the shock technique can accelerate the projectile to the standard exit speed within a limited time.

After loading the shore-based guns on the treeboat, the High Priest participated in the calibration test firing, but it was ultimately sea shooting. She was eager to see if the weapon was as powerful as she had imagined it would be in actual combat.

"Noah, stop moving forward!"

"Report, the tree boat is completely still!"

"The sea breeze is west by north, and the wind force is four!"

"The parameters have been corrected!"

"Target, the enemy machine beast, shoot from the No. 1 turret."

One after another instructions flow among the manipulators - this is also a major feature of Jinxia City. The people who use the latest weapons are usually not generals or soldiers, but researchers who often spend time in the mechanism bureau. No matter what they did, they always looked stern, completely different from the carefree soldiers under the princess' command.

It took a quarter of an hour to prepare for the first shot.

Compared with the weapon technology itself, this result can be regarded as very backward.

However, for Seven Star's landing troops, this was an incomprehensibly fast moment. Within a quarter of an hour, they couldn't even get all the troops out of the beach.

On the other side, Qiao Zhenggang was also looking at the situation of Shuzhou. He noticed that the gigantic thing seemed to have stalled, not approaching the pier any further.

"Did the other party see the clue?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Navy Guerrilla Master Xu stroked his beard and said, "Master Qiao doesn't know something. The bigger the floating object on the water, the deeper the draft. This thing called a tree boat must have a large underwater part. It is very easy to run aground too close to the shore, so if you want to land, you have to rely on other small boats to transfer. Even if there is artillery cover, landing is a very risky thing, so the Jinxia Army probably wants to wait until we completely give up the beach. Dock."

"Is that so?" Qiao Zhenggang felt relieved. As long as the other party is willing to come over, he is not afraid that he will have no means to clean up the tree boat.

According to this progress, the two sides will probably have to wait until dusk for a formal battle.

Perhaps the rear camp should prepare more torches.

Just as he was about to give this order, a light suddenly flashed on the tree boat.

It disappears in the blink of an eye, as if it were just an illusion.

Qiao Zheng had just raised the observation mirror, and before he could take a closer look, there was a deafening roar from the northern beach!

He turned his head, only to see a ball of fire soaring into the sky, accompanied by a large amount of soil debris!

The trees with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl fell even more, as if being swept across by a giant hand.

What's this?

He couldn't help but froze in place.

The rest of the soldiers listened to their instincts and reacted in the most authentic way. They fled in all directions with their heads in their arms to prevent being hit by the falling stones. The originally neat and orderly transportation team suddenly became chaotic, and several teams that were adding wax oil to the mechanism beast collapsed in unison, life and death unknown.

"Damn it, did the oil barrel catch fire!" Mr. Xu cursed angrily, "Whoever is responsible for this, take him here!"

Colleagues didn't even notice the distant fire.

But this is not his fault, the tree boat is still more than 20 miles away from the shore, and it is difficult to observe the changes on the sea antenna with the eyesight of a non-qi-sensing person.

A strong uneasiness suddenly surged in Qiao Zhenggang's heart.

Could it be that... this explosion was actually a bombardment from the Jinxia Army?

But how is it possible! ?

It's not that he hasn't seen artillery before, usually it's not bad to shoot for a few miles, and the flowering bullet is just a cloud of dust, how can it create such an astonishing momentum?

But what if the flash just now was not a coincidence, and the enemy could indeed do this?

As soon as the idea came up, the fire on the tree boat burst out again.

This time even Xu Guerrilla noticed something strange, "Master Qiao, did you notice just now—"

He was only halfway through when the mechanism beast hiding under the cliff suddenly exploded in two! Completely different from the previous explosion, a large amount of wax oil placed in the mechanism beast suddenly turned into a flowing flame, splashing around the forest, and the fireball that rose was comparable to a newborn sun!

Qiao Zhenggang felt the watchtower under his feet tremble violently due to the explosion!

"No, this is the enemy's attack!" He finally confirmed this, "Jin Xia is firing at us!"

Moreover, they knew the layout on the shore very well, and the first target was the mechanism beast closest to the sea—only the first shot was slightly missed, which made people mistakenly think that there was a mistake in the transport team.

But it is too late to issue warnings now.

The burning wax not only turned a large number of logistics soldiers into torches, but also spread to more flammable and explosive objects. There were explosions all over the beach, and the team carrying supplies collapsed in an instant. Even leather whips and swords could no longer stop them.

"You mean...they can shoot at us at that distance?" Xu Guerrilla's face turned pale.

"Idiot, don't you see it now?" At this point, Qiao Zhenggang didn't bother to be polite anymore, "Let the stormtroopers set off immediately to buy time for the rear battalion to move!"

"But the enemy is not close to the shore, and the stormtroopers are afraid—"

He grabbed the other party's collar, "I don't care how many of them survive, but the Yunlong Mechanism Beast can't all be folded here, do you understand?"

That thing is expensive to make, and it is also a key weapon against Jinxia's biped mechanism beast, so he can't bear the responsibility of losing it all.

"Okay," Master Xu said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I'll do it."

Suddenly, from the corner of Qiao Zhenggang's eyes, he caught two flashes of light—they were very short apart and lit up almost at the same time.

Such a terrible cannon, is there more than one on the tree boat?

Where are they aiming again this time?

Could it be——

This thought made Qiao Zhenggang's blood shudder. He pushed away his colleagues and was about to jump off the watchtower when a stream of light came from the sky and penetrated under the wooden tower.

He only heard a loud bang, and he felt that he was hit hard by something, and then his whole body flew up. He wanted to control his posture in the air, but he couldn't feel the existence of his feet. Before the numbness and cold engulfed him, Qiao Zheng just turned his eyes and looked down, but he could only see half of his broken body.

I have to visit relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is only one chapter today. Happy holidays everyone!
