The way Ye Chong saw it, the Collision mechs were too simplistic in their attacks. If the village head's attacks were as overwhelming as he said, Ye Chong was not confident that the Collision mechs would be able to take them down.
Hence, the Sang Family Village would often see such scenes. Loud explosions would come from the master's lab, accompanied by thick smoke and sometimes blinding white light. One explosion was so powerful that the lab building was blown away, leaving only a huge crater where the building used to be.
What made people click their tongues in amazement was that even in such explosions, Mister was still safe and sound. The villagers gradually got used to the frequent explosions. However, not long after, the villagers were surprised to find that after the first explosion, the frequency of the explosions decreased until there were no more explosions.
Ye Chong looked at the ugly fist-sized ball in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally figured it out. Ye Chong did not consider the craftsmanship first.
He had spent a lot of time and effort on how to trigger the mildstone explosion. Everything in the lab, including the photon processor, had been moved away. To ensure that he would not die in the process of the explosion, Ye Chong had to be careful with his experiments, making sure to put on Guardian before he started.
However, even with Guardian's protection, Ye Chong still suffered from the explosions. The shockwaves from the explosions were not something a human could withstand. If it were not for Guardian, Ye Chong would probably be dead by now.
Fortunately, he had finally figured it out.
The valley outside the village was the only entrance to the Sang Family Village. Sang Pu was dragged over by Ye Chong, along with Sang Fan and Sang Ling. Sang Ling's attitude towards Ye Chong was now very respectful, which he was not used to.
Ye Chong handed a ball to Sang Pu and pointed to the foot of the mountain, "Throw it there."
Sang Pu was confused, but he did not hesitate. He exerted strength in his right arm and threw the ball in the direction Ye Chong pointed. Sang Pu was strong. The ball whistled through the air, leaving an afterimage in the air.
Boom!
There was a deafening explosion, and white smoke rose from the spot where the ball hit. Other than Ye Chong, everyone else was stunned by the loud noise. Their blank expressions showed how shocked they were.
When the white smoke dissipated, they saw a huge crater, much bigger than the one in Ye Chong's lab.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air in unison.
"This … this is …" Sang Pu, who had always been calm, stammered. That huge pit seemed to have some kind of strange attraction, and everyone's eyes couldn't move away from it.
Whoosh, a large pile of earth and rocks slid down from above, and more than half of the narrow valley was blocked.
"This is a high explosive bomb." Ye Chong said absentmindedly. The explosion was much weaker than he had expected. He was used to seeing big things, and he was not satisfied with the power of the high explosive bomb. In fact, his original intention was to make high explosive bombs into mech support. Out of habit, Ye Chong naturally targeted mechs, and mechs from the Four Forces at that.
A long time ago, missiles played an important role in the history of human warfare. However, with the advent of the interstellar era, space battles soon became the main theme of war. With the advent of the holographic scanning system, this kind of slow attacking weapon was quickly withdrawn from the stage of history and was replaced by energy based weapons such as ray guns.
However, he did not think that these weapons were useless. He himself had used support bombs like Beauty's Secretion, and the results were very good. Even Black Cove mechs were not spared. It was not that the missiles could not cause fatal damage to mechs. It was just that they were too slow in the vast expanse of space. Besides, the high-precision holographic scanning system had a large scanning radius, which could destroy the missiles before they could even get close to a warship or mech.
Ye Chong's success with the support bombs was due to the fact that they were all made of skeletons. Skeletons were made of a special material, and the holographic scanning system could not detect them. This way, the missiles would not be discovered before they hit.
Of course, Ye Chong was just thinking about it. If he wanted to make them into support bombs, he would need to make a miniature engine. Without an engine, the missiles would not be able to fly very far. A miniature engine was not difficult, but it would take a lot of time to make. Currently, all the manpower in the village was focused on the Collision mech.
Ye Chong would not think about making something that could not be mass produced. The most important thing now was to find a way to overcome this obstacle.
Sang Fan's excited words woke Ye Chong up from his thoughts. "Sir, that's great! If that's the case, wouldn't we have another powerful weapon? High explosive bomb … High explosive bomb … This power is amazing! "
Ye Chong could not help but pour cold water on his enthusiasm. "It's still powerful enough, but without an engine, it can't fly any further. Besides, it has no aiming function. It's useless. "
Sang Fan was not impressed. "Engine? There's no need for that, sir. Think about it, can't you just throw it? "
Ye Chong suddenly realized that Sang Fan was right. He had made a mistake. This was not a space battle, and their enemies were not mechs, but some kind of wild animals. Then he thought about the villagers' arm strength. With their arm strength, the high explosive bombs they could throw would have a terrifying range.
Ye Chong could not help but imagine the scene of tens of thousands of Jie experts throwing high explosive bombs at the same time. That would be terrifying. Even a small piece in the hands of a Jie expert would be powerful. If this rock was replaced with a high explosive bomb, then it would be …
Ye Chong shuddered. Even if it was a mech, it would be doomed if it were to face such a blanket attack at close range.
Sang Ling added, "That's right, sir. Don't forget that we all have to practice throwing rocks to find the way. Everyone in the village knows how to throw rocks. There's no need to aim. " To test if there was a gravitational field ahead, the villagers would throw rocks as they moved forward, to avoid falling into the gravitational field. Over time, throwing rocks became a necessary skill for every villager. Not only could they shoot far, they could also hit the target accurately.
Ye Chong quickly realized, and could not help but think to himself, "Looks like I've made them a powerful weapon."
Sang Pu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, "Sir, can you block the entrance of the valley?"
Ye Chong was surprised. He looked at the entrance which was almost half blocked and nodded, "That's not difficult."
Sang Fan did not understand what Sang Pu meant, and asked, "Pu, why do we need to block the entrance?"
Sang Pu pointed to the entrance and explained, "This is the only entrance to the village. If we block it, we only need to guard the sky, and this will reduce our area of defense. Besides, I'm worried that the steelbats will attack the village with wild animals. That would be troublesome. Let's block the entrance first, and we will have less to worry about. "
Ye Chong could not help but take a look at Sang Pu, and could not help but admire him. As expected of the candidate for the next village head, he was very thoughtful. The other two couldn't help but reveal looks of admiration.
Sang Fan was also thinking quickly, "Sir, can this high explosive bomb be used to open a hole?"
Ye Chong pondered for a moment, and said, "That's a good idea, but directional blasting is a very specialized technique, I don't know much about it."
The few of them could not help but look disappointed. If they could blast a few holes big enough in a short time, then they would not have to worry about the steelbats hiding in the holes. Most importantly, they could avoid casualties as much as possible.
Seeing that it was a dead end, the few of them could only abandon the tempting idea. However, to be able to obtain such a highly lethal weapon, they were already very satisfied. Thinking about it, they could be considered lucky. Generation after generation of their ancestors had lived here for five hundred years without making any progress. In this short period of time, they not only had metal weapons, but also mechs, and now they had high explosive bombs. They all believed that as long as they could overcome this obstacle, the Sang family's revival would be just around the corner.
Looking at the man who was deep in thought, everyone was filled with endless gratitude and respect. It was this young but knowledgeable man who had brought them all this, and brought hope to the Sang family that they never dared to hope for.
The villagers now had another task - to make high explosive bombs. Ye Chong did not expect the high explosive bomb to beat the Collision mech, and become the most popular weapon of the Sang family.
It was easy to use, powerful, and the loud explosion it caused was obviously exciting for the villagers.
Fortunately, the production of the Collision mech was nearing its end. The continuous production of the Collision mech had become the basic equipment of the Sang family. Every day, there would be a lot of mechs practicing flying in the sky. It was a spectacular scene to see a hundred thousand mechs practicing flying in the sky. Ye Chong did not know if the steelbats would be this spectacular, but the scene before him once again impressed him with the strength of a group. However, this also brought about a serious problem. Without the dimension keystone, the mechs could not be kept, and had to be placed down. The village was so small that there would not be enough space for a thousand mechs. Sang Pu had no choice but to find a large plain not far from the mountain behind the village. The hundred thousand mechs were placed there neatly, densely packed.
The village was about a 10 minute run from the Collision mechs to the plain. This made Ye Chong feel helpless. It was troublesome to suddenly have a top-notch product without any foundation. To buy the 10 minutes for the villagers, Sang Pu had to send a large number of Collision mechs to search ahead, in order to find the steelbats earlier.
In two months, everyone was equipped with a mech. There was a time when the skeletons were not enough, so Sang Pu immediately ordered the villagers who had completed their training to go hunting. The villagers who piloted the Collision mechs experienced for the first time how fragile wild animals could be.
The beast stampede outside the village was still there, and the black tide that once terrified the villagers had become the best hunting ground.
Every time the Collision mech swooped down and rose up, its bone spear would skewer a few huge beasts. Ye Chong was worried that the bone spear would break, but it did not happen. This boosted the confidence of the villagers. Soon, after countless battles, they found a more effective way to kill the beasts.
The Collision mech flew close to the beasts, and its four sharp bone wings became the blades of the Grim Reaper. Every time it flew, it would slash the black torrent in half, leaving behind a complete bloody mark. Many of the beasts were cut in half by the wings, their organs and blood splattered all over the ground.
As more villagers joined the team, the skeletons were getting more and more. However, Sang Pu did not stop his hunt. He was sharp and quickly discovered that the greatest value of this torrent was actual combat!
Combat experience was the best way to improve one's strength, especially in group battles. Since there were no communication devices, most of the villagers had to rely on their own combat experience to decide what to do.
However, they soon realized that it was easy to make mistakes. The sky was full of mechs, and it was hard to see the situation clearly. After some brainstorming, Sang Ling finally came up with a feasible solution. The mechs were dyed in different colors according to the rank of the commander. Sang Pu was the highest rank, so he was dyed red. Below that were blue, black, and white. On the sides of each Collision mech, there were light gems of three different colors embedded. Each light gem had a plate in front of it, which could be lowered to block the light gems. This way, orders could be given through the light gems on the sides of the commander mechs. Sang Ling had also specially designed a set of combat language using the light gems of three colors. Ye Chong could not help but change his opinion of Sang Ling. It seemed that big breasts were not necessarily brainless.
Soon, the whole village was engulfed in a learning frenzy. Everyone held a small notebook in their hands, shaking their heads as they memorized the language.
The effect was also obvious. These villagers were all seasoned veterans, and they were very familiar with each other. They had a tacit understanding with each other. Although these light gems could not express much in battle, it was enough for them.
Even the picky Sang Pu was now very satisfied with the team. As for Ye Chong, he was already dazzled. It was hard to imagine, how could these Collision mechs, without communication devices, perform such complicated and difficult coordination? And it was so smooth!
The increase in strength brought confidence to the villagers, and the harvest of sapphire was also a relief to them. Among the Sang people who were born to be warriors, many were already waiting for the arrival of the steelbats.
