Ye Chong picked up the laser gun he had just completed and tried to aim. In truth, Ye Chong's long range attacks had not improved much. Of course, this was largely due to his lack of practice. From the beginning, he had insisted on close range combat. However, this did not mean that he was completely clueless about long range attacks. On the contrary, he had done a lot of research on long range attacks.
The greatest threat to close range mech pilots would always be long range attacks. Every close range mech pilot would study long range attacks, as they needed to know how to dodge these fatal beams.
Ye Chong was no exception. Compared to the average close range mech pilot, he had a unique advantage. This was because he had an authority in this field. Mu - Mu had even provided Ye Chong with a complete set of training for long range mech pilots.
Shooting was the most basic knowledge every long range mech pilot must have, but this alone was not enough. Being able to accurately predict the opponent's movements was the most important quality of a good long range mech pilot. Unfortunately, Ye Chong had encountered difficulties at the very first step. This was also why he thought that he was not talented in long range combat.
Shooting was the most basic action, and Ye Chong could never do it well. But now?
Ye Chong lifted the laser gun in his hand and squinted his eyes like a hawk's. Everything in the room was clear to him. He had a pair of hands that were as precise as a machine, allowing him to make the tiniest adjustments as he pleased, even though these adjustments were unfamiliar to Ye Chong.
Now!
Ye Chong's hand that held the gun did not move. He pulled the trigger with his right hand, and a beam shot out from the gun barrel, hitting a black spot on the wall. Poof! A thumb-sized hole was left in the wall, and light from the outside shone in through the hole.
Sha Ya, who had been on high alert, immediately ran over. Seeing that Ye Chong was unharmed, she left with some doubts.
Ye Chong looked at the hole in the wall, surprised.
That's it?
He was very surprised by the result. Ye Chong raised the gun again and tried a few more shots, all of which hit the target.
Ye Chong was stunned.
In fact, this result was very normal. Compared to the time when he was on the trash planet, he had grown a lot. Whether it was the control of his muscles, his eyesight, or his understanding of combat, if these were to be quantified, then his current value would be several times higher than before. This kind of subtle change was usually ignored by people, but if he tried the previous failed projects, he would be surprised to find that the projects that could not be completed in the past were now successful. This huge change was always full of surprises.
Ye Chong did not spend too much time on this, but he had spent a lot of effort to improve his qualities, and many of them were qualities that could be used in both close and long range combat.
However, this was only the first step. Shooting at a fixed target was the first thing every long-range operator learned.
Ye Chong quickly understood the mystery behind it. He was not too surprised, but he could not help but feel a little emotional. Over the years, he had made progress bit by bit. He had spent countless hours and sweat, and he had grown bit by bit in actual combat. His hand speed broke through again and again, his combat skills improved from imitating to mastery, and he even became a Jie expert. His mech piloting had changed from the Bluebird mech to Celest, alchemy, and mech crafting …
How many people could understand the hardships and dangers involved?
"What's wrong with me today?" Ye Chong laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm getting sentimental."
Soon, Ye Chong freed himself from these thoughts. Ye Chong would never let his emotions get to him. Whether it was sadness, pain, despair, or confusion, they would all pass. The solution was always to think calmly, to make a decision bravely, and to do it pragmatically.
Ye Chong's shooting skills were still at the lowest level. To improve, he would need more practice. This kind of shooting level was not very powerful in actual combat. However, Ye Chong did not neglect it. Even though his shooting skills were not very useful in actual combat, Ye Chong had found a new path.
It was true that he could not lock onto his target with his psychic waves like a shooter, but he had an advantage that no one else had - the holographic scanning system. Of all the long-range mech pilots he had encountered, other than the Xi Feng Tribe mech pilots, none of them had the ability to lock onto their target, but they were still strong in combat. Even the Xi Feng Tribe mech pilots needed the holographic scanning system.
This was an advantage in range.
Ye Chong finally had a few days of peace. Surprisingly, the revenge from the soldiers did not happen. In these few days, Ye Chong had completed the main structure of the manor's defense system.
To Ye Chong, 12 cannon arrays were too few compared to the size of the manor, but it was enough to provide some air defense. The holographic scanning system was also completed. With the manor as the center, a radius of 120 kilometers became Ye Chong's safe zone.
The military base was only 40 kilometers away from Ye Chong's manor, which was rather ironic. Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief. His enemy's every move was under his surveillance, and that was the best outcome.
However, Ye Chong did not let his guard down. The military base did not make any big moves, but there were people lurking around the manor, spying on them.
Ye Chong did not take any action. As long as the enemy did not enter his manor with guns like they did the other night, he would not initiate an attack. To him, such spying was pointless. Unless they had a super mech like Mu and Shang, the thick walls would not allow them to see anything. On the other hand, if they tried to sneak into the manor, Ye Chong's defense system would immediately recognize them and attack.
By now, Ye Chong was very familiar with the defense system. Every firing point was well hidden. Besides, the manor's dense foliage and complicated terrain made it easier for him.
Ye Chong worked hard to create a large number of stationary weapons. Besides the 12 cannon arrays, he also created more than 600 laser firing points. Besides the high-precision sniper weapons, Ye Chong also created a new type of weapon called the Honeycomb Firing Board.
Each firing board was like a honeycomb, with laser launchers arranged neatly on it. A single firepower plate could fire up to 144 laser beams at once, and the distance between each beam was 20 centimeters. Ye Chong had specially prepared this weapon for advanced shooters. With such a wide range of fire, even if the enemy sensed it with their parapsychic sense, they would not be able to avoid it. Besides, the firing board could adjust its angle under the guidance of the defense system's photon processor.
Its only drawback was its energy consumption. However, in this place where energy was abundant and energy crystals were cheap, this was not a drawback.
Ye Chong had used the Research Consortium's G-Z laser gun as a reference for its structure. Coupled with the unique materials of the manor, the final product was extremely powerful. Even a fighter aircraft would be destroyed if hit by it.
Ye Chong expanded the firing intervals of some of the Honeycomb Firing Board to target the fighter aircraft in the sky.
Ye Chong's defense system for his manor was now starting to take shape. He could finally settle down and carry out his own research.
Sun Sieha was very busy. There were too many things to worry about. Although he had been groomed from a young age to be the heir to the throne, and although he already had considerable political and military experience, he was still very busy. Only now did he understand what kind of pressure his father had faced.
However, even in these busy times, he did not forget about the weaponsmith called Ye Chong.
That mysterious young man was really an interesting person! When he was free, he would think of the cold young man, and the day he was defeated. He could not help but smile. Being naturally arrogant, he would only have a slight favorable impression of those who were truly capable. However, he quickly pushed these subjective thoughts out of his mind. He was the king. Everything had to be considered from the perspective of the entire country.
Sun Sieha's expression returned to its usual cold expression. After some thought, he ordered, "Bring Master Karu to see me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guard rushed out of his study.
Sun Sieha drummed his fingers on the table. He was thinking about the report he had just received. The report detailed the conflict between Du Feng of the First Army and the cold weaponsmith. He was not surprised by Du Feng's defeat. If the other party was not strong enough, he would not have been able to force him into such a desperate situation.
What would be the consequences of this incident? That was what he needed to think about.
Just then, the guard interrupted his thoughts. "Your Majesty, Master Karu is here."
"Invite him in," Sun Sieha said.
Master Karu was 77 years old this year. He was one of the most influential weaponsmiths in Eastern Cloud. Sun Sieha had interacted with this renowned weaponsmith when he was young. He was very confident in his professionalism.
Master Karu walked into the study and bowed to Sun Sieha. "Your Majesty, what can I do for you?" Master Karu's hair was all white, and his face was lined with deep wrinkles. However, he was in good spirits. Obviously, he was displeased with Sun Sieha for interrupting his work.
Sun Sieha smiled and said, "Master Karu, please take a seat. I have something to ask you."
Master Karu nodded and sat down.
"Have you seen the cannon array, Master Karu?" Sun Sieha asked.
Hearing Sun Sieha's question, Master Karu's eyes lit up. He said hurriedly, "Yes, I have! I've conducted a full scale test on this cannon array. Its power is incredible! Where did Your Majesty find such a powerful cannon array? "
Sun Sieha smiled but did not answer. Instead, he said gently, "Although I have seen the power of this cannon array, I believe that a professional like you, Master Karu, will have a different opinion. Can you briefly introduce it to me? "
"Alright." Master Karu nodded. His eyes were shining with excitement. His voice became urgent. "Your Majesty, I'm not afraid to laugh at you. At my age, this is the first time I've seen such a powerful and compact heavy weapon. Its craftsmanship is very advanced, and its structural design is also very novel. This old minister has never heard of such a weapon before. The most peculiar thing is its internal structure. This old minister dares to confirm that it has completely surpassed all the known theories of weapons. It is much smaller than our Longsong Cannons, and it is very light. It can be carried by some of the more powerful weapons. If we can mass-produce this weapon, our combat power will be increased by at least five times. However, I'm ashamed to say that even though this weapon is right in front of me, there are still many things that I don't understand. "
Sun Sieha was overjoyed at first, but his heart sank when he heard Master Karu's last sentence. "Master, can you replicate this weapon?"
Master Karu replied, "Your Majesty, there are still many things that I don't understand. The creator of this weapon has an unfathomable understanding of weapons! Where did you get this weapon, Your Majesty? "
Sun Sieha had hoped that Master Karu could replicate the weapon, but even Master Karu could not do anything about it. He was disappointed, and replied absentmindedly, "I bought it."
"Bought it?" Master Karu turned pale with fright. "I wonder which country invented such a top-notch weapon?"
Sun Sieha shook his head. "No, it was a weaponsmith."
Master Karu was even more surprised. "A weaponsmith? Who is the creator of this weapon? "
"His name is Ye Chong."
"Ye Chong? I've never heard of this name. " Master Karu sighed. "I didn't think that there was such a genius in this world. This Master is strong enough to start his own school. For a person like this to remain unknown, he must be someone who does not care about fame and fortune. Where does this elder live now? Please tell me, Your Majesty. I am eager to pay him a visit. "
"Elder?" Sun Sieha's expression was strange.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? This Master is much more skilled than I am. I am more than willing to address him as elder, "Master Karu said seriously.
Seeing Master Karu's serious expression and white hair, and thinking of that cold young man, Sun Sieha could not help but say, "Master Karu, you must not have guessed that this Master is only in his twenties."
"Impossible!" Master Karu denied it immediately. He looked Sun Sieha in the eye. "Your Majesty, there's no need to joke with me. It's not funny."
Seeing Master Karu's serious expression, Sun Sieha said helplessly, "I'm not lying to you about this. He's really only in his twenties. He has already returned to Sucheng with me. He lives near Sucheng."
Seeing that Sun Sieha's expression did not seem to be fake, Master Karu's expression turned strange. He muttered, "In his twenties! In his twenties! Are there really such geniuses in this world? "
Suddenly, he perked up and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please introduce me to this weaponsmith."
Sun Sieha thought of Ye Chong's cold and distant expression and massaged his brows. He said helplessly again, "Let's put this matter aside for now. We'll talk about it later. Don't worry, Master Karu, I will arrange for you to meet him. "
Master Karu was surprised to see Sun Sieha's troubled expression. He asked gently, "With such an outstanding person around, why are you so troubled, Your Majesty?"
"I'm troubled by the cannon array."
"If the Master is willing to sell them, Your Majesty can just buy more. What's there to be troubled about?" Master Karu was puzzled.
"He's only willing to sell two of them every month. Besides," Sun Sieha glanced at Master Karu with a pained expression, "He has to pay 20 million ao for each one."
"20 – 20 million ao …" Master Karu was speechless.
Sun Sieha nodded. "20 million ao for each one. At this price, I can buy a few of them, but it would be difficult for the army to assemble them on a large scale."
"This price …" Master Karu's jaw dropped. After a long moment, he clicked his tongue and said, "That's really high! I've already inspected the cannon array. The raw materials are estimated to cost at most 8,000 ao. "
Hearing Karu's words, the bitterness in Sun Sieha's mouth deepened, and after a long silence, he gnashed his teeth and said with strong unwillingness, "Profiteer!"
Master Karu thought for a moment and said, "The price is a little high, but the technology is worth the price. However, Your Majesty, you must be careful. If this weapon ends up in the hands of other countries … "
Sun Sieha nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Karu. I've already made an agreement with him. We have the exclusive right to buy it."
The palace guards witnessed a strange scene. When Master Karu left His Majesty's study, he was in a daze and kept muttering to himself, "20 years old … genius … 20 million ao …"
What made them tremble was His Majesty. Ever since Master Karu came, His Majesty's face had become so gloomy that it was as if water could be squeezed out of it. Every servant and guard was cautious and did not even dare to breathe loudly. The atmosphere in the palace was unprecedentedly tense.
