Ina sat on the control panel of the elemental cannon and put the goggles on her head. She then turned to look at Xu Sili who was standing next to her.
Beside the young man, other than the unfathomable Grand Marshal, there were also the guards.
Although they loyally guarded behind the young man, their eyes involuntarily looked into the distance, their faces full of astonishment.
The elemental cannon could be fired once every minute. In less than ten minutes, the ten red-clawed beasts were all killed, leaving only the last red-clawed beast alive.
Such efficiency made the guards look at the elemental cannon in a different light.
They had all retired from the front lines, so they knew very well how powerful such a killing machine could be on the battlefield.
Ina looked at their expressions and knew what they were thinking. This made her feel that the hard work of the past two months was not in vain.
"Your Majesty, look, the effect is not bad, right?"
She said proudly.
Although she was an elder, from the first time they met, Ina did not act like one. Even from her appearance, one could not tell that she was more than a hundred years old.
Xu Sili looked into the distance.
The red-clawed beast was considered smart. Although it was being chased by the elemental light wave, it knew to make a detour to avoid it.
Unfortunately, the light wave seemed to have grown eyes and chased after it relentlessly. In the end, it still blasted it down.
Immediately after, the cheers of the players who survived the disaster could be heard from afar.
Hearing Ina's words, he could not help but nod in admiration. "It's really amazing. Just the fact that it can automatically track after firing is already very impressive."
Originally, he did not understand what the insight information said about the 90% probability of locking onto the target and preventing the other party from escaping. Now, he finally understood.
It could actually track automatically and follow so closely! Even an interstellar missile wouldn't be able to make such a complicated turn in such a small area, right?
Ina laughed heartily when she heard this. Her invention was recognized by the Emperor. To her, there was probably nothing else in the world that could be more pleasurable than this.
"Your Majesty, you can guess the principle behind this."
She winked and said, obviously not expecting Xu Sili to answer. She was waiting for him to say that he didn't know, then she would explain to him and show off her wonderful design.
Unexpectedly, Xu Sili thought for a while and raised his eyebrows. "Interstellar beast core?"
Ms. Ina was stunned.
"Your Majesty, you are too smart. You actually guessed it like this?"
Xu Sili smiled. He had also made a blind guess using the information in the Insight Skill. He didn't expect that he would be right.
"I'm just guessing. I don't know the specifics."
However, Ms. Ina said, "This is very normal. After all, you have never come into contact with alchemy before."
"But you were able to guess the core train of thought, which proves that you are very talented. If you have the time, why don't you come to the academy and listen to the class? I think it's always good to learn more things. "
Ina spoke very seriously. If it wasn't for the young man's identity as the Emperor, she would have tricked him into learning alchemy.
An Elemental Alchemist was a profession that required creativity and innovative thinking. This kind of talent was undoubtedly very rare. Ina had not found a good successor until now.
Even the Brave Ones, who were said to have a strong learning ability, in her opinion, had more than enough learning ability but not enough creativity. The things they made were inevitably dull.
It was really too difficult to find a good seedling.
Xu Sili had no idea what Ina was thinking, but he still listened to her suggestion.
Indeed, there was no end to learning.
Until now, he couldn't say that he was proficient in understanding Elementalists. In the past, he didn't have the qualifications. Now, there were five high-ranking Elementalist instructors in the academy. It would be a waste if he didn't make good use of them.
There was also the Card Master's legacy …
He hadn't been to class for a long time. He wondered how Lilith was doing now. How was her teaching progress?
While Xu Sili was self-reflecting, Ms. Ina continued to speak.
"I've done some research on Galactic Beast Cores and found that these Galactic Beast Cores contain extremely pure energy. They can be used as high-grade energy ores."
Ina said seriously, "Perhaps Your Majesty doesn't know the significance of high-grade energy ores. I'll put it this way. Now, almost all Mechs in the Galaxy are powered by energy ores.
"High-grade energy ores are necessary for high-end Mechs. Of course, they are also needed in other fields.
"According to my calculations, the energy provided by a one-star Galactic Beast Core can sustain a high-end Mech's normal activities for three months.
"Although the energy consumption rate will be doubled in battle, this Galactic Beast Core is more energy efficient than traditional energy ores. More importantly, its size is completely negligible.
A one-star Galactic Beast Core was only the size of a fingernail. Compared to a Mech that was dozens of meters tall, it was as small as a speck of dust.
Traditional energy ores were very cumbersome. This also restricted the size and weight of Mechs.
Even after continuous changes, how to protect the power system from being destroyed by the enemy was still the most important thing in Mech design.
If the size of the energy ores could be reduced to the point where it was almost invisible, it would definitely trigger a huge revolution!
Ina was sure that if her former colleagues knew about the characteristics of the Galactic Beast Core, they would definitely go crazy.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Ai Xuefing has a treasure that no one can imagine."
Ina said this, but she didn't look very excited.
Because she knew clearly what kind of price the people living in Ai Xuefing had to pay for such a "treasure".
Her teacher died because of that catastrophe, and she had to wander outside for a hundred years. If possible, she would rather Ai Xuefing not have such a "treasure".
Xu Sili nodded. He actually already knew about this. According to the timeline of the future forum, Roland relied on these high-quality "energy ores" to carve out a path in the Galaxy.
He didn't want to continue on this path. After all, he still had a lot of bargaining chips that could give him more options.
"Teacher Ina, let's not talk about this for now. Let's continue talking about the elemental cannon. So, what does the Galactic Beast Core have to do with its automatic tracking ability?"
Xu Sili changed the topic.
Ina looked at him deeply. She didn't know if this little emperor understood what she said, but his indifferent attitude made her feel strangely better.
She chuckled and said, "Does every Interstellar Beast have an Interstellar Beast Core?"
Xu Sili blinked his eyes and said, "You mean …"
"That's right. The elemental cannon can capture the energy released by the Galactic Beast Core. After these light waves are released, they will automatically follow the energy. That's how it works."
Ina explained clearly in a few words. She patted the elemental cannon and said, "It can also be set to automatic mode. When Galactic Beasts enter the range of the cannon, it will automatically attack."
"But the range of the cannon will be reduced a lot in automatic mode."
Xu Sili didn't expect the elemental cannon to have an automatic mode!
It might not be necessary during the day, but at night, this function would definitely greatly reduce the burden of the defenders. Furthermore …
"In other words, the tracking function of the elemental cannon is mainly used to target Galactic Beasts?"
"That's right. Because the Galactic Beast Core is used as a tracking mark, if it targets ordinary targets, it will only have the basic function left."
Xu Sili nodded and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Ina, is the production process of this elemental cannon complicated?"
Ina's smug expression disappeared when she heard this.
"It's a little complicated. There are too few people in the academy who have the foundation of alchemy. It's a little difficult to mass produce it in a short time."
Xu Sili understood, but he didn't take this problem to heart.
After all, Roland had an army of millions of players.
Not only were they the most ferocious undead army, but they were also the most efficient production team.
While they were talking, the players from the two mercenary teams had already carried the injured players to them.
Perhaps they didn't expect the owner of the shuttle to be the faction leader and the Empire's Marshal, so they were stunned and didn't move forward.
Of course, they wanted to run to the faction leader and get to know him better. However, after playing the game for so long, they knew how intelligent the NPCs in the game were. If they deliberately tried to curry favor with the NPCs, it would often backfire.
The NPCs from the engineering team who were only slightly injured quickly saluted the person who had saved them after recognizing who he was.
After hesitating for a while, the players quickly followed suit.
Xu Sili didn't expect the two teams of players to be so obedient. He looked at them in surprise and whispered something to the guard beside him.
Then, the guard walked towards the players.
It was obvious that the guard had a high opinion of their heroic performance. His eyes were full of praise and admiration —
After Xu Sili's painstaking efforts, the relationship between the players and the NPCs was now quite harmonious. It should be impossible for the players to attack the city like in the future forum.
The guard didn't say much. Instead, he took out the red and blue potions and gave them to the players and the injured engineering team to recover.
The potions used by the Royal Guards were incomparable to the potions in the faction storage. They were all improved by Instructor Bazeer and each of them was of silver quality.
The players took a look at the potions and were stunned.
His Majesty Xiao Luo was too generous. They weren't seriously injured and he gave them such good potions!
They discussed in the group voice chat and only gave one to the severely injured NPC. They secretly hid the rest in their backpacks.
Such good potions should be saved for critical moments!
Fortunately, the guard didn't supervise them and returned to the team after giving them the potions. While they were talking, Si Sheng had turned the elemental cannon back into a card and put it away. He then followed Xu Sili onto the shuttle.
The players stood there and watched as they took off. They couldn't help but wonder what that big thing was. Did His Majesty Xiao Luo use it to shoot down the red-clawed beasts?
"By the way … are the corpses of the red-clawed beasts going to us?"
Suddenly, someone spoke. It was as if someone had just woken up from a dream.
One second, they were still watching the shuttle and sighing. The next second, they turned around and ran away like hungry ghosts. The abandoned engineering team NPCs looked at each other.
In the end, the elemental cannon was left to the Royal Guards. After Xu Sili returned to the Royal Palace, he began to make arrangements.
It was time for the player production team to come online!
The next day, when the players entered the game one after another, they received a new notice —
[Roland Faction Notice: The Elemental Military Factory is recruiting high-quality talents. Those who are selected to enter the Elemental Military Factory will receive an [Elemental Cannon] blueprint.]
When the players saw the introduction of the Elemental Cannon, they were excited.
An equipment blueprint with a maximum damage of 50,000 per second!
It was obviously a powerful weapon to defend the city! And the note stated that it had special effects against flying galactic beasts.
Because almost the entire server participated in the fight against the galactic beasts, even if they didn't face the beasts directly, as long as they completed the daily missions, they would receive contribution points.
So basically, everyone had a plot of land that was more than five square meters.
Although five square meters wasn't a lot, they could invest! Twenty people would have at least 100 square meters of land. If they built a 20-story building, wouldn't it be awesome?
However, the problem was that the land allocated to them was not in the five main cities.
Although the distance was not as far as the original border, of course, if you have the ability, you can still go there, but the problem is that the land outside the main city is not protected by the protective barrier!
The galactic beasts on the ground were indeed mostly wiped out after the galactic beasts. Only a small group was left, and they were no longer a threat. But —
There were still galactic beasts in the sky!
These flying galactic beasts were unscrupulous and treated the players as rations. After capturing them, they would really eat them. For example, they would throw them into their nests and let their cubs gnaw on their flesh bit by bit.
Even if the realism was set to 0, it was still a nightmarish experience for many players.
So, what were the players most worried about now?
Of course, how to drive away the flying galactic beasts so that they could build houses! And now, at this moment, a great solution was placed in front of them!
An anti-air Elemental Cannon blueprint!
Because of that, on the first day the Elemental Military Factory opened, it was crowded with players who came to apply. They even said that they didn't want wages or benefits, as long as they could work in the factory.
This kind of enthusiasm for work simply stunned Ina. She did not know what to do.
