“Buzz buzz buzz…”
After the core fragment of the extraordinary cannon was moistened by the transparent liquid, it was as if a switch had been turned on. The power of nature resonated with it.
Wisps of wind power started to flow visibly and gathered at the core of the cannon. Then, they were guided to the front of the cannon, forming a white ball that kept spinning and expanding.
“Does the transparent liquid being dried by the wind act as a switch to turn it off?”
Chen Yiming used his spiritual power to examine it. As the core fragment became dry again, the resonance with the power of nature decreased.
The situation was exactly as he had thought. The moment the fragment that was used as the core completely resonated with the power of nature,
“Boom!”
The huge white ball shot into the sky, and waves of air appeared, causing it to charge towards the distant viewing tower. The crowd started to scream.
“Compared to weapons, the amount of natural power that can be mobilized is much more.”
Ye Jianyuan stared at the white ball in the sky. Its size seemed not to be restrained, and the power of nature condensed inside was quickly spinning and spreading out.
On the other hand, if it were a weapon, because of the risk of accidental injuries, the user would definitely not dare to gather such a huge amount of natural power at once.
“If there are more than 10 such extraordinary cannons, they should be able to build a line of defense 1,000 kilometers long,”
Chen Yiming nodded and muttered.
He imagined the scene of the human defenses spanning 1,000 kilometers, with the extraordinary cannons as the core.
Humans only needed to defend their positions and ensure that the cannons could fire continuously, and the advantage that the mutant creatures had in terms of numbers would be overcome.
The factory head, Xu Jian, retracted his gaze and placed a hand on Lu Qiming’s shoulder. He smiled and said, “You did well.”
As long as the mobilized power of nature could be successfully unleashed, it would be considered a success. There was no need to control the rest of it. They could just wait for the power of nature to wreak havoc.
Not long after, the huge white ball landed in the mountains, and the wind blades completely broke free from their restraints and spread out, destroying all obstacles in their way.
From the shooting range, the three mountain peaks seemed to have been instantly turned into rubble. The landing point was a scene of devastation. Countless ravines appeared, demonstrating the power of the cannon’s attack.
“This… With just a few more shots, Jiangnan City would probably be razed to the ground.”
“If a warrior is within the range of the cannons, will he instantly be pulverized?”
“Oh my god! With such powerful artillery like the extraordinary cannon, all the beast tides will be wiped out in a few shots!”
“I wonder how many shots from the extraordinary cannon the martial masters can withstand?”
…
In the observation tower, the employees of the Jiangnan Firearms Factory were discussing the results of the test firing of the cannon.
Everyone was stunned. With the rise of the overall martial arts level led by Chen Yiming, the power of traditional technological weapons was slowly decreasing.
Now, it seemed that technology had also caught up. The extraordinary cannon in front of them was the direction for future breakthroughs in technology.
…
On Mount Everest, within the red fog that the sunlight could not penetrate, dozens of mutant humans stood up in a daze and returned the way they had come.
They were all the higher-ups of the Ganges Kingdom who had been affected by the mutation. They had been summoned here by some unknown force and received a reward from the huge eye. The mutation in their bodies had been strengthened.
For example, those with a mutant arm had both arms mutated. The length that their tongue, which was filled with metal barbs, could extend to was doubled. The strange patterns in their pupils became even more complex.
When all the mutant humans left the range of the red fog, a huge eye appeared from a hole.
On the front were patterns of ripples, and the back was covered in long tentacles. The entire thing was floating in midair.
At this moment, the fragments of the extraordinary weapons from the two futuristic fighter jets were held in its tentacles, and numerous smaller silk-like tubes had been inserted into the fragments.
“Humans? The space plan?”
A spiritual fluctuation appeared around it, and the eye moved back and forth as if it was deep in thought.
Not long after, the eye turned to the sky and gazed towards the moon through the red fog.
“They only established a blockade?”
This was accompanied by a joyful spiritual fluctuation.
After a while, the eye turned in the direction of the Daxia Kingdom.
“It just so happens that the human spaceship and the strongest human can hold the attention of the blockade. I can take the opportunity to escape.”
After a while, the eye turned in the direction of the Ganges Kingdom.
“The black tide is about to descend. I have to put more pressure on the strongest human. I have to escape from this planet before the second blockade appears.”
Plots were hatched one after another, accompanied by terrifying spiritual storms that wreaked havoc in the red fog. However, no abnormalities appeared outside the red fog.
After an unknown period of time, the spiritual fluctuations suddenly calmed down. The tentacles and the eye gradually retreated into the hole and disappeared. At the same time, the red fog in the outside world began to dissipate.
…
10 minutes after the red fog dissipated, a few fighter jets carrying martial arts experts flew past the area from more than 10 kilometers above Mount Everest.
The images of Mount Everest after the red fog dissipated were captured by high-definition cameras.
Half an hour later, this information was sent to an emergency meeting of the military committee. There was another discussion on how to deal with it, and many military leaders sighed.
The Daxia Kingdom only wanted to complete the space plan as soon as possible, but there was no peace in the surroundings.
…
That night, the Chen family gathered at the dining table to eat.
Even though he had been busy for a while, not only was Father Chen not exhausted, but he had also become stronger under the nourishment of the miracle blood.
At this moment, he had the demeanor of a soldier. He no longer had the air of a restaurant owner. Unless one was an old acquaintance, one would not be able to recognize him.
On Jiangnan TV Station, a female announcer reported the big news that day.
The scene changed to the shooting range of the Jiangnan Firearms Factory. A cannon shot out a white ball, and the violent wind blades tore through three mountain peaks.
The female announcer introduced to the audience that this was the latest technological product of humanity, the “extraordinary artillery”. Then, she roughly explained some technical details, especially emphasizing the strength of the “extraordinary artillery”.
“Brother, can you give me an extraordinary pistol too?”
Chen Yingying retracted her gaze and asked Chen Yiming.
As soon as she finished speaking, these words even attracted the attention of Father Chen and Mother Chen.
If it was really as the news had said, Chen Yingying would be much safer wherever she went with an extraordinary pistol.
Actually, Chen Yingying was not weak, but Father Chen and Mother Chen still treated her like a little girl. If she could get better equipment, they would naturally go for it.
Chen Yiming wanted to scold his sister. “Didn’t you see the futuristic fighter jet when it landed? At this stage, the level of reforging weapons on the blue planet is still far from enough. Even the best materials can’t withstand many shots.”
However, on second thought, it might be possible to create a small hole in the extraordinary sword to insert a firing mechanism and turn it into a pistol.
This way, due to the high quality of the material, there would naturally be no risk of accidents like the explosion of the power of nature.
It was just that he did not know if the firearms experts could resolve the technical problems involved.
After thinking about it, he suddenly frowned. Previously, he had planned to correct his way of nurturing his sister. He could not give her whatever she wanted, so he had to set a reasonable condition for her.
Therefore, Chen Yiming nodded and said, “How about this? When you complete the internal force fusion, I will give you an extraordinary pistol as a reward.”
“Ah!” Chen Yingying exclaimed, unable to react immediately.
Chen Yiming had always encouraged his sister who had mediocre talent.
However, people could change. Chen Yingying’s martial arts talent had been increasing because of the use of the miracle blood. He could not view her the same way as before.
Mastering internal force fusion was no longer something impossible for Chen Yingying to achieve.
It was precisely because he suddenly thought of this that he made up his mind to correct the wrong path that she had been set on.
Faced with his sister’s confusion, Chen Yiming returned a serious gaze. He wasn’t joking, and he was actually serious about it. There was no room left for doubt.
…
The television stations throughout the Daxia Kingdom broadcasted the news from Jiangnan TV Station later.
The concept of “extraordinary artillery” became popular overnight. Many cities became lively, and many people went on the streets to celebrate.
The reason was that technological weapons could still be used by people without martial arts cultivation. For most people, this was something that was more accessible.
This was because once it became commonplace, the status of warriors would definitely decrease greatly again, and the status of ordinary people would increase relatively.
However, unlike the high spirits of the people, not long after the military committee received the news that the red fog had dissipated, they also received news that there was an uprising among the mutant creatures in the Ganges Kingdom. They were heading towards the southwest border of the Daxia Kingdom.
The next morning, a 1,000-strong special forces team lined up outside East Lake City.
Their leader had entered the city to visit someone using the name of the martial master, Elder Zhang.
“Why did they suddenly call the special forces back here?” A muscular soldier stabbed his sword into the ground, his face full of confusion.
“Perhaps he’s afraid that we’ll lose the thing in our hands!” the bald soldier at the side said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he imitated the muscular soldier and stabbed his spear into the ground.
With 1,000 people armed with 1,000 reforged extraordinary weapons, they were the strongest force in the army. In theory, they could fight against a true martial master.
Many soldiers from the special forces were eager to test it out in the otherworld, but they did not have the chance. The higher-ups would not allow them to take the risk of being wiped out.
This was the truth. They did not encounter any big risks, but they had taken several small risks.
Several people had used the core fragments too much during battle. In the end, only one person was lucky enough to survive, and the others died on the spot.
