Although Cloud Peak was impressed with Resistance Zone’s technology, the only people they worshipped apart from Ye Zhongming were Le Dayuan and Liu Zhenghong.
The War Fortress was strong to them but wouldn’t be as strong as the modified one.
As expected, Le Dayuan’s modified War Fortress opened their eyes.
“Strictly put, the new model is very good. Be it ranged or close combat, they are outstanding. You can even use its scouting advantage to make it a command post.”
Le Dayuan’s voice was clear and powerful.
“But the designer was restricted by wars before the apocalypse.” Le Dayuan started to introduce his modified version.
“I deem my War Fortress as a firepower machine.”
He introduced his concept with one sentence.
“I removed all the four spinning machine guns and bamboo missiles as well as all the cold weapons apart from the cross slicing weapon on the back and the spike slicing device at the base.”
“Apart from the sentry drones and scouting bees, I removed all the other equipment they carry. I also removed the troop transport cabin.”Le Dayuan pointed everyone’s attention to the modified control room. A researcher saw it and controlled the machine to reveal the structure and weapons inside.
“I equipped crystal machine guns at where the four spinning guns were.” He looked excited. “This saved core energy. As for what that energy can be used for, I will tell you later.”
Crystal energy machine gun!
The core members were shocked when they heard that name.
This equipment had appeared in Cloud Peak some time ago and was even equipped on a truck that appeared in the Flame Tiger Operation.
But it disappeared. Everyone heard that it was because the ammo problem couldn’t be solved, and energy was also a restriction. People could only think about this strong weapon. It didn’t appear on the battlefield after, much less being built in scale.
Who knew that it would be equipped on the War Fortress?
“Compared to the core energy machine guns, the crystal energy guns have pros and cons. The cons are that the initial speed isn’t as quick, and the range is slightly worse. The power of each individual bullet isn’t as strong, too.”
“This is because of crystal energy and core energy’s differences.”
“But they have their strengths. Their overall speed is quicker, they are more penetrative, have slicing abilities, and can fire for a longer time. As long as the barrel can take it and the energy is enough, in theory, you can continue to fire.”
The crystal energy gun structure was similar to traditional guns. After Ye Zhongming modified the barrel, it could take a million shots. This number looked unassuming. After all, some guns in peacetime could reach that level.
But in the apocalypse, friction and damage would worsen as the ammo and guns' powers got stronger, so those values dropped tremendously.
Crystal energy guns had an advantage because of Ye Zhongming, who strengthened the support materials for those weapons.
“The most important point is that our crystal energy guns are double-powered due to design issues. The gun and bullets themselves can buff the final attack. This allows us to control the strength of our guns. We can choose cheaper bullets to reduce cost and energy when hitting easier targets. When attacking stronger enemies, we can switch for better bullets.”
Le Dayuan said solemnly, “Although we have relevant technical members and an ammo production line, the numbers haven’t reached a level where we can splurge. When bullets concern carving and smith jobs, we need time and materials. Saving stuff here means we can use them elsewhere, like on our equipment.”
Everyone nodded.
“Apart from that, I placed tossing equipment where the arms are. They can toss specially made crystal grenades. Using its strong and intelligent aiming, it can toss it further. These grenades are modified based on the devices’ unique points and made stronger.”
The arms needed to control the cold weapons weren’t needed and they know became tossing devices.
“A total of four sets of grenade tossing devices, each can throw 500.”
Everyone smiled when they heard the number. Two thousand grenades could turn a huge area into nothingness.
“This is a ranged device, so it must have that advantage. Our Cloud Peak’s crystal cannons must be equipped on this!”
He smiled. His face turned red because of his excitement. He pointed at many places, “There are two types of cannons. One is the stream cannons, which have fast firing speed but smaller range and less power. These cannons are smaller, so there are many of them. There are 30 on this fellow.” РÀƝƟʙΕȘ
“Ah---”
Many people were shocked. Thirty? Even if the cannons were small, thirty occupied a huge space. No one felt that the fortress could fit so many.
Le Dayuan didn’t explain and continued, “There are two ways of firing. The first is the normal way, and the other is in an arc. You can attack targets hiding behind who have no air defense. As this is an AI system, so it is accurate.”
“Second are the Offensive Cannons that fire slowly but have a long range.”
Le Dayuan pointed at six thick barrels.
They looked at the diameter and pouted.
“How is it compared to Annihilation cannons?” Little Tiger asked.
“It is definitely weaker, but it can fire more times in the same amount of time. Its overall damage is much higher.”
“Le, it isn’t that I doubt you, but how do you ensure the crystal energy supply with so many crystal weapons on the War Fortress? How do you change crystals? With that restriction, their firing speed will be pointless, right?”
Guang Yao raised his hand halfway and asked politely.
Le Dayuan wasn’t unhappy because of that and even had an appreciative glance.
“Good question.” His eyes lit up, “Based on our traditional method, that wouldn’t work. Just changing crystals alone would reduce the efficiency. But I have been enlightened by their core energy-powering methods. With that theory, I designed a-- Crystal Energy Damn to provide energy for the crystal weapons!”
Anyone with a brain would realise something. This crystal weapon father might have written another thick stroke in history for these weapons.
Crystal Energy Dam was a revolutionary product!
