The angle of the square cannon barrel was adjusted, and there was a small concentration of light at the end of the magazine. From Lin's observation, this was a temporary collection of material particles to form a cannonball.
How fast could the magazine form a cannonball? How many cannonballs could it store? Was it possible to shoot continuously?
While Lin was still pondering over the issue of the weapon, Olean had already started shooting without making a sound!
The biggest advantage of the railgun compared to gunpowder weapons was that it did not have any recoil. The mass cannonball pushed by the magnetic field silently left the cannon barrel at a terrifying initial speed. In this airless environment, there was no obstruction and it pierced through the mountain wall in front of it.
And this was not just a simple piercing, but a heavy hammer that smashed through most of the mountain wall. The mountain wall in front of them was like a biscuit that had a big bite taken out of it. A large piece was missing, and it was in the shape of a crescent moon. This kind of destructive power was not just shocking, it was terrifying.
But as long as the muzzle was aimed at someone else, no one would complain that the railgun was too powerful. But the elemental creatures of West Wind Valley were not so excited as to pester O 'Brien with questions. Because on the back of this tall iron man, there was another weapon that had a completely different appearance that had not been tested yet. Everyone was looking forward to the performance of the second cannon.
But this "everyone" did not include Lin. If the target of the experiment was still the mountain wall in front of them with a gap in it. If the target of the plasma cannon was not organic matter or electronic products, the plasma flow would not cause any damage to simple inorganic matter that did not have electrical conductivity.
In other words, after giving the design of the plasma cannon, Lin's target group was locked on the group of carbon-based creatures that might be able to rely on this group of robots to counterattack the maze in the future. It was not for the earth elemental creatures to use in a civil war.
Of course, if all the elemental creatures in the Elemental Plane of Earth were mechanized, the plasma cannon might become a powerful weapon in the civil war. But today, it should not be of much use. So, unlike the others, Lin was not excited as he watched O 'Brien prepare to fire the second cannon.
The railgun returned to its original position, and the tuning fork-like plasma cannon adjusted its angle and once again aimed at the broken and pitiful mountain wall. The two iron-like plasma cannons produced a strong magnetic field, which stimulated the plasma streams that were disturbing each other. They were then collected and restrained in the magnetic field.
The charging time was longer than expected, but compared to the incantation required to prepare the spell, the preparation time for the plasma cannon should be much shorter. After the energy storage was completed, the speed of the ball of lightning that was pushed out could not be compared to the railgun at all. It was like the difference between a rabbit and a turtle.
Furthermore, the slow ball of lightning did not move in a straight line. Instead, it swayed left and right erratically before gently hitting its target.
The moment the ball of lightning came into contact with the remnant of the mountain wall, the ball immediately collapsed and turned into a primitive flow of plasma. With the point of contact as the center, it spread out in all directions. Other than that, there were no traces of destruction left behind, just as a certain someone had expected.
However, it was such an attack that made the elemental creatures gasp. They looked at the iron man shooting the plasma cannon in shock. O 'Brien's performance wasn't any better. He stared blankly at the spot in front of him that was attacked and touched the body of the plasma cannon in disbelief.
The performance of these elemental creatures certainly attracted Lin's attention. But why did they have such an attitude? Did they see something that he did not notice?
Thinking of a possibility, Lin immediately switched to the unique vision of the elemental creatures. The world that presented everything with spiritual light was no different from what he had seen in the past. Everywhere was full of vitality. Only the mountain wall in front of him that was used as a target was dim and lightless.
… Lin did not expect that it would take him a while to react. In this Elemental Plane where all things had spirits, even a grain of sand or a stone would have an elf on it. The only difference was that this body of consciousness could not communicate with others normally.
But the mountain wall in front of him did not have any spiritual light at all. This meant that the mountain wall was pure. Any elemental creature could take the ores and materials on it and use them for their own purification. Of course, another way of thinking could be that the mountain wall originally had an owner. But they were scattered by the attack of the plasma cannon … It could be said that they were killed.
The mass bullets of the railgun could be used to destroy the body, and the plasma cannon could be used to attack the core of the elf. This also meant that as long as O 'Brien wanted to, he could completely destroy an elemental creature in two moves and make it return directly to the embrace of the Spirit of the Earth Mother to wait for the day of its revival.
This result was not what Lin had expected. He had thought that even elemental creatures with metal bodies were members of the magic side. Pure ball lightning could not destroy a metal body that was driven by magic like it could destroy electronic equipment.
But it turned out that Lin Xiang had underestimated them. Pure ball lightning also exerted great power and even made the elemental creatures afraid.
After the two cannons were tested, Lin did not ask O 'Brien to continue shooting and collect various parameters. That kind of thing could be directly verified in actual combat. He only needed to ensure that the original design of these two cannons would not let them hit a dud.
The next task was, of course, to hold the fire seed in his hand and look at the elemental creatures with eager expressions. Lin asked, "Who wants to be next?" Then he regretted it.
He did not regret modifying these elemental creatures. What Lin regretted was that he had been too pretentious and had not thought of a good plan. Because of his careless speech, he was swallowed up by the elemental creatures that had squeezed up.
In the end, it was O 'Brien who stepped forward to forcefully maintain order and specify the order of modification of the elemental creatures in the West Wind Valley.
Perhaps because the modification process did not require the fire seed to bear the burden of energy consumption, the process was very fast. In addition, not all elemental creatures could be modified to O 'Brien's size. Most people had a height of three to five meters. As for O 'Brien, he was nearly eight meters tall, which was unique in the West Wind Valley settlement.
What was more special was that there were a few elemental creatures that were smaller than dwarves, halflings, and gnomes. In addition to the little guys that scurried around like overactive children, there were also those that were unwilling to stay on the ground. They found flight methods from the fire seed's database. Some were based on science, some were based on magic, and they used various methods to fly into the sky.
The whole modification process also allowed Lin to understand some rules that were naturally formed by the fire seed.
First of all, the size of the nuclear fusion reactor depended on the strength of the elemental creature's elven core. And the larger the reactor, the more energy it could output, and the larger the body it could drive. Therefore, the size of the body was equal to the strength of the elemental creature. This equation was valid.
Of course, in terms of victory or defeat in actual combat, there were many factors that affected the outcome. It was not as if individual strength was enough to guarantee victory. In addition, the fire seed was based on magic, so it was inevitable that it would record some things that were not so scientific. Also, the mechanical bodies that were modified from the elemental creatures themselves were not completely scientific creations.
In this way, with all kinds of strange abilities, it was even more difficult to determine the strength of the elemental creatures. But one thing was certain, and that was that the elemental creatures in the West Wind Valley had truly been reborn.
