Chapter 714: Electric light cannon

"Rune Cannon!"
Kerstakin screamed in surprise, and then he was not sure, his face full of curiosity.
He is one of the only rune lords among the dwarves. Forging technology and rune knowledge are the top-notch. In terms of knowledge and profoundness, he is not much worse than the Holy Soul Wizard, or even worse.
Dwarves developed artillery technology in the Third Age. Over the past hundreds of years, many dwarf craftsmen have learned soul gun technology from humans and promoted the advancement of ancient dwarf guns. Artillery technology with similar principles has also rejuvenated and matured.
Kstakin is very good at casting rune artillery. At the beginning of the construction bank wall, he proposed to Renne to install rune cannon on the wall, but Renn refused.
He thought that Renne thought Rune Cannon was too expensive, and now he knew that Renne had a replacement for the cannon.
I didn't take a closer look and found that this thing was a bit similar in appearance to Rune Artillery, but it was actually quite different.
The most significant difference is the barrel.
The barrel of the rune artillery is very thick and can fit a person into it. It is less than three meters in length and looks extremely heavy.
As for the weapon Rehn took out, the barrel was nearly five meters long, only thicker than the arm, dark and straight, with a smooth surface, and a non-fixed diameter. The muzzle was the thinnest, and it became thicker as you go back. The rear half wears a package. It has a square solid metal shell and is installed in a rotatable spherical shield.
The spherical shield is made of gray metal. It has a diameter of about two meters. Kerstakin can’t see the structure in the shield, but it can be judged that the pole cannon can be rotated at full angles on the horizontal plane, and can also be raised at an elevation angle. It's huge, almost able to hit the target directly above.
The spherical shield is engraved with dense runes and engraved lines, flowing with obscure blue energy.
Kerstakin knew so well that he could tell it was a Titan rune!
The barrel and shield are mounted on a huge base, the base of the square is so high that the dwarf can't reach the upper edge even on tiptoe. Kstakin touched it with his hand, and immediately recognized that it was cast from a certain magical alloy. There was no gap in the whole body. Obviously, the most important secret of this weapon was hidden inside it.
"Such a superb forging process..."
Kerstakin touched it with his hands, and after careful observation, he was amazed: "I have never seen such a curious casting style before!"
The first impression that this weapon gave him was simple and sharp, without any decoration. It did not look like a creation born from a forge. There was no trace of hammer hitting. However, it revealed the clever design everywhere, which contained deep meaning. The crystallization of wisdom.
Kstakin felt a kind of icy beauty, and every detail of it was designed to exert the greatest effect and cause the greatest damage.
The only purpose of this thing is to kill!
He was almost intoxicated.
Even if you haven't seen its power yet, just this unique design that is very different from Ellen's races can bring him a lot of inspiration, and the power is certainly not bad.
Brestein's forging technology is not as good as Kerstakin, but his vision is not bad, and he also feels a powerful and fierce aura.
The two dwarves stared at Renne eagerly, hoping that he could answer.
Renn smiled triumphantly.
"This is indeed a kind of artillery, but it is different from the rune artillery. I named it..." His words paused, originally because he wanted to say "laser cannon", but there is no "laser" in either Imperial or Dwarf language. This word, this concept is also very troublesome to explain.
"Lightning cannon."
Rennes changed a name that was easier to understand.
This is the result of more than half a month's research and development by him and more than twenty Lei Zhu Tianbing. The prototype is the concept of "laser cannon" from the previous life, a directed energy weapon that only exists in science fiction film and television works!
The laser cannons on the earth are only rudiments, with average lethality and many defects.
But in Ellen's, a world full of extraordinary powers and magical materials, Rennes can easily overcome many difficulties in manufacturing laser cannons.
In many cases, what a new invention lacks is not the idea, but the conditions for its realization.
He used magic, runes, and alchemy materials, combined with brain-distribution chips, and only took more than half a month to create this magical version of the laser cannon, and tested it. The power may not be as powerful as the lasers on the interstellar battleships. Cannon, but in the world of Ellenus, it is definitely an unprecedented new weapon.
"Lightning cannon..."
The two dwarves lit up, thinking about the meaning of the name.
"Install it first." Rennes selected a location on the wall, waved up and called a few short craftsmen, and quickly built a brand new turret on this section of the wall.
The turret is about ten meters above the city wall, the bottom is as wide as the city wall, and a spacious passage is left in the middle, which will not hinder the smoothness of the city wall. The inside of the turret is solid, and the wall becomes narrower as it goes up, eventually forming a five-meter square platform with a sinking in the middle, which can fit into the base of the electro-optical cannon.
The dwarf craftsmen carved a rune array on the surface of the turret, which merged with the entire city wall and became as hard as steel, capable of resisting the bombardment of spell energy.
Rennes put the electric light cannon into the Nebula Ring, flew up, and put it into the pit on the platform, the two were perfectly inlaid together.
Then took out dozens of tons of steel, softened it with activated metal, and covered the base of the artillery and the platform underfoot, and wrapped the upper half of the turret with metal to become more stable.
Kerstakin looked up at the tall turret, with a look of doubt on his face.
"Rene, why don't you dig the steps in the wall so that the artillery can get to it?" He didn't quite understand, and asked, "There is no place to settle around it. Where is the artillery standing?"
"The electric cannon doesn't need a gunner." Renn shook his head and replied.
Kerstakin's eyes widened, "You don't need a gunner, how can you fire?"
"It's fully automatic."
As soon as Wren's voice fell, the electro-optical cannon was activated.
The wall of the turret vibrated slightly, and a deep roar was heard from it. The dwarves saw hundreds of runes lit up on the shield of the electro-optical cannon, a layer of shield stretched out, and it was instantly invisible. .
At the same time, there were waves of blue light surging on the dark barrel.
There is a sizzling electric noise in the air.
The armor, the tools and weapons in the hands of the dwarves were paralyzed by electric shocks, and the hairs on the whole body were also erected. The thick beards were faintly flashing with lightning, and an indescribable feeling enveloped the surroundings.
The hemispherical shield suddenly turned, and the direction of the gun barrel followed a few turns.
The metal barrel, weighing at least tens of thousands of pounds, has a sense of lightness and flexibility. It rotates very fast, sometimes raised to the maximum elevation angle, sometimes lowered, or adjusted the angle by a small amount, suddenly stopped, and aimed at a distant target. .
Kerstakin watched the turret adjust, creating an illusion.
It seems that this is not a cannon, but a living thing. Inside the heavy metal structure, there is a soul with a high degree of wisdom hidden.
The six red crystals inlaid in a circle around the shield are its eyes.
The energy source installed in the base of the turret is its heart!
"My lord, let's try."
Brestein said the voice of all the dwarves present, Renn glanced at them, the corners of his mouth raised, and decided to satisfy their curiosity.
"it is good."
Renn nodded slightly.
Immediately, the dwarves heard a sharp roar.
Huh hoo hoo...
They have never heard this kind of sound, so dense that they overlap each other, like thunder, but they can't accurately describe it.
The muzzle sprayed out a torrent of blue light beams like a storm, faster than lightning, and it was difficult to chase even the eyes.
In the blink of an eye, a few light beams shot into the twisted dark woods across the strait, and then a series of explosions were emitted.
Amid the rumbling, large swaths of trees fell down, exposing the charred ground.
"hiss…"
"Moradin is on!"
"Mother God..."
The dwarves all took a breath, some screamed, some were dumbfounded, and some were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Kerstakin looked at the bombed woods and said in disbelief: "The range is more than four thousand blades!"
"Blade" is the distance unit of the dwarf, and one blade is roughly equal to half a meter.
Ren nodded, Kstakin's visual inspection was very accurate, the effective range of the electro-optical cannon could reach two kilometers, but this was only the range of one of the firing modes. The electro-optical gun has three firing modes, with different ranges.
With a thought in his mind, the electro-optical cannon that had just stopped roared again.
Thunder broke out.
Beams of light are ejected from the muzzle, firing continuously at a frequency of ten times per second.
The muzzle turned slowly, and the line of fire formed by the beam of light moved with it. The drop point of each beam was within control. In just ten seconds, the forest on the opposite bank fell like wheat, and there appeared a line several hundred meters long. Scorched open space.
Most dwarves can't see how many beams fired in these ten seconds, and they can't count them.
But judging from the damage caused, each beam is at least equivalent to a three-ring spell!
The dwarves were dumbfounded, unable to even exclaim.
Hundreds of three-ring spells were released in such a short period of time, the range is still so far, and so precise...not to mention ordinary dwarf warriors, even legendary steel shield guards, under the muzzle of the electro-optical cannon, will be instantly destroyed Torn to pieces.
Renn looked at the dumb dwarves, smiled to himself, and controlled the electro-optical cannon to switch to the second firing mode.
The hemispherical shield emits a low energy whistle, and the huge energy flow makes the barrel turn blue.
Three seconds later, a faint blue ray sprayed out.
This time the firing is no longer a high frequency like a storm, but a continuous beam, like a beam of light, which is thicker than a dwarf's thigh, and bursts of twists and turns of lightning.
The rays penetrate the air, face down diagonally, and hit the ground one kilometer away.
There was a big fire there quickly, the surrounding trees burned, the mud and rocks on the ground were melted, and it turned into a magma pool in a few seconds.
The muzzle turned, and the rays swept across the sky like a thousand-meter-long sword.
Wherever it passed, the trees were cut neatly.
The ray lasted for eight seconds before it stopped, and the barrel returned to black, and the heat from the muzzle could be felt even if it was more than ten meters away.
"Electric rays!"
The dwarves were silent, until Kersta made a blond voice and suddenly realized it on his face.
He has recognized the spells released by the electric cannon.
It's electro-optical rays.
The high-frequency firing just now also shot out electro-optical rays, but the speed was too fast. The electro-optical rays of the lowest third ring were compressed and released more than a dozen times in one second, achieving the powerful effect of artillery bombardment.
The second continuous burst is the original form of the electro-optical ray, but only the power is similar to the seven-ring spell.
However, the range of the electro-optical gun has reached more than ten times!
Kerstakin couldn't understand how Rennes did it?
He can also use electro-optical rays. If it is controlled in the third ring, it can be instantaneous, but it must not be instantaneously fired more than a dozen times in a second, or even three times. This is far beyond the limit of ordinary people's thinking speed and range. It is incredible.
Where does the energy of the electric light cannon come from? How does it work?
Kstakin had countless questions in his mind.
However, this is not the end.
The electro-optical cannon was silent for half a minute, as if waiting for the barrel to cool down, suddenly it started to operate again.
A group of blue electric light appeared in the muzzle, but it was not emitted. It quickly condensed into a larger light group, and countless energy was poured into it. The light group grew larger and the electric light became more and more dazzling, like a small sun order One cannot look directly.
The dwarves held their breath and stared intently.
Finally, twelve seconds later, there was a bang, like a thunderbolt in the sky, causing the dwarves to subconsciously cover their ears, and could not help tracking the drop of the light.
After half a second, a violent light burst in the field of vision.
Everyone closed their eyes.
A shocking explosion sounded immediately, followed by a strong shock wave, and the city wall under construction trembled. Fortunately, it was far away without causing damage.
When the explosion subsided, the dwarves saw a large clearing in the forest three kilometers away.
Everything within 100 meters of the explosion point was destroyed.
There was a deep pit in the middle of the clearing, and the forest a hundred meters away fell radioactively, as if it had been bombed by a meteorite.
"This…"
All the dwarves who saw this scene were shocked, UU reading www.uukanshu.com with trembling lips, stopped working in his hands.
"This all has the power of the Nine Ring Spells!"
Kerstakin could hardly believe his eyes.
No wonder Raine said it is different from Rune Cannon, which is not so terrible at all.
Such a terrifying blow, obviously still a certain change mode of electric light rays, has reached the power of the nine-ring spell!
He turned his head abruptly to look at Rennes, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
"Rene, the most powerful artillery in the world of electro-optical cannon! No, it is the most powerful weapon in the world!" Kstakin's voice trembled a little, almost in a voice of worship, and said loudly: "If You can teach me the manufacturing method and principle of the electric light cannon, and I am willing to swear to you in the name of God and become your follower for life!"
Not only Kerstakin, but many dwarves were also moved and hurriedly selected them.
Obviously, they have the same ideas as Kerstakin.
