As the assembly of the machine continued, Dafei's anticipation became more and more doubtful. Katerina was completely piecing together gears of various sizes and small metal boxes. It did not look like a cannon at all. Rather than saying that she was assembling a cannon, it would be more accurate to say that she was assembling a large clock.
Finally, when Catalina finished sealing the machine with several round glass shells, a "mechanical watch" as big as a round dining table appeared in the middle of the gun cabin!
The princess smiled and said, "The assembly of the core body is complete!"
Dafei was shocked. "This is a cannon?"
The princess smiled and asked, "What do you think it is, Warriors?"
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. He suddenly thought of the clocks in the Time King's house. He could not help but say excitedly, "A magic cannon that combines the technology of the Holy Crown City … and can shoot the effect of time freezing?"
The princess laughed and said, "Warriors, your requirements are really too high. Not to mention this imitation, even the original artifact is far from reaching it!"
Catalina sighed and said, "So, Mother, Captain is a man who has become a god. His vision is very high, rising to the level of time and space."
The princess shook her head and sighed, "It seems that I have to show my incompetence! The Scale of War is just a tactical artifact, far from rising to that level. "
Dafei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, no, no matter how profound the strategy is, it must be carried out with effective tactics!"
The princess nodded and said seriously, "Yes! A strategy that cannot be carried out is like a mouse hanging a bell for a cat. The reason why the Scale of War is a national artifact is that it can continue to accumulate small victories until a big victory, and basically does not consume any divine power. It can even be copied and mass-produced. This is why the Pirate King is so eager to get it. So, Catalina, start the second stage of connection. "
Catalina nodded and pointed to the eight phantom ballistae in the gun cabin and asked Dafei, "Captain, can we use these eight phantom ballistae? If it is convenient, we don't have to use the guns we brought, because these guns are more advanced than the guns we brought. "
You can use my guns? Dafei was stunned and said, "No problem! Of course! "
Catalina smiled and said, "I'll surprise the captain later!"
Not only do I want to eat a catty of it, but I also want to lick it clean!
Watching Catalina take out something that looked like a metal wire from the box to connect the various parts of the Phantom Ballista, and then connect the other end to the socket of the Big Clock that looked like a socket, Dafei was shocked again. He wondered if he was playing a fake game!
Finally, the eight Phantom Ballistae were connected to the "big clock" in the middle of the cannons by dense, spiderweb-like metal wires. What does this look like? It was like a physical examination instrument for eight patients. It was like a computer connected to eight machines. In any case, it was not like a cannon!
The princess said in a deep voice, "Activate the weapons!"
As Catalina pressed the switch on the "big clock", the gears inside the "clock" began to rumble and roll. The crystal lights on the "clock" and the metal wires all over the floor began to shine. The Phantom Ballistae that were connected to the metal wires also began to shine. Then, one of the Phantom Ballistae creaked!
A mechanical voice came from the clock, "Number 1 ballista integration successful. Integration progress 15%. Number 1 ballista attack + 15!"
Dafei was shocked. "Integration? This War Scale can talk? "
Catalina smiled and said, "The automatic control panel of Captain's Sky Ship can also talk!"
Dafei suddenly understood. "Could it be that this War Scale is a mechanical creature?"
The princess clapped her hands and smiled. "Exactly! The War Scale isn't a cannon in the traditional sense, but a mechanical creature that can effectively fuse ordinary ballista cannons into a single entity. With its integration, ordinary cannons can unleash a coordinated combat ability that far surpasses that of normal individuals — reloading speed is faster, trajectory calculation is further and more accurate, and it optimally avoids the impact of waves on accuracy. It can effectively attack targets on the surface of the water and behind the fog. This has already surpassed the scope of normal war machines — it's not a cannon, but a system! "
Then, the mechanical voice sounded again. "… Number 3 ballista integration progress 30%. Number 3 ballista attack + 30. Number 3 ballista trajectory correction increased. Hit rate increased by 16%. Range increased by 22%."
Dafei was shocked. A modern word suddenly flashed through his mind — fire control system!
The characteristics of the warships of World War II were that there were a lot of cannons and the barrels were especially thick. Aiming basically depended on looking, output basically depended on roaring, and loading basically depended on hands. However, modern warships only had one main cannon at the bow. This main cannon was a modern cannon controlled by a computer fire control system. Whether it was firing speed, range, or accuracy, it could beat all the cannons of a World War II warship combined!
Could it be that this War Scale is the so-called fire control system? If it is, then can I realize the "flick cannon" godly skill that only those professional masters can use?
Dafei hurriedly asked, "With such a system, do we still need gunners?"
The princess mother smiled and said, "If there is no gunner attribute bonus, this system can only hit the basic damage of the ballista, and there is no one to load. Therefore, gunners are still indispensable. No, it should be more necessary. Only in this way can the power of this artifact be maximized. I saw a few drunkards on the deck just now. They should be very good gunners. "
Dafei said happily, "They are all pirate leaders. I don't dare to think about their attribute bonus to the ballista. But my goal is to incorporate all of them into Catalina's forces. "
The princess mother nodded and said seriously, "They are pirates and heroes among pirates. Perhaps their abilities are not worth the attention of the Warriors who have become gods, but their ambition and greed will definitely exceed the expectations of the Warriors. If the Warriors really want them to surrender, they have to prepare all the things they need."
Dafei nodded and smiled bitterly. "It seems that they also want a warship similar to mine."
The princess mother said seriously, "Then find a way to satisfy them. Their ability is comparable to Locke and Balak. It is worth roping them in."
Catalina sighed and said, "I guess after they become gunners and see the power of the War Scale, they will also want the War Scale."
The princess mother said in a deep voice, "Then produce these replicas to satisfy them."
Dafei hurriedly asked, "How do we produce this?"
The princess mother smiled and said, "First is the material! Once the durability of those machines or ballistas that have been used for a long time is exhausted, they will not become a pile of waste. Instead, they will be recycled into a pile of very round and strong parts. These parts are actually spiritual. What we want is to collect those parts. Although it is not easy to find, as long as we do not leak the secret of the formula, I believe there will be many factory owners who will sell them to us at a low price … "
Hearing this, Dafei was shocked!
Speaking of which, didn't he assemble a ballista with only 8 points of durability on the sunken ship on Newbie Island? That ballista had been used until the Pond of Light's national war attack on the Demon Factory, and a few screws had been lost! (Chapter 109: The Beginning of the National War)
Dafei hurriedly looked through his backpack and finally found the pile of parts that had been sleeping for a long time in the deepest part of the backpack. Fine gold wear-resistant screw steel cap x8, fine gold wear-resistant screw x13, fine gold wear-resistant steel bolt x2!
Dafei hurriedly showed the parts to the princess mother. "This is it?"
The princess mother was overjoyed. "Yes, this is it! And the quality of your parts is very good! It is the top material for making mechanical lives! "
