As the machine assembly continued, Da Fei’s anticipation became more and more confused. Katerina was just assembling various small and large gears and small tin boxes, and she couldn’t see the appearance of a cannon at all. Rather than saying that she was assembling a cannon, It might as well be assembling a large clock. Teana 『Novel
Finally, when Katerina finished encapsulating the machine with a few round glass shells, a "mechanical watch" the size of a round dining table in the middle of the cannon cabin appeared before her eyes!
The princess mother said with a smile: "The core body is assembled!"
Da Fei was shocked on the spot: "Is this a cannon?"
The princess mother smiled and asked, "What does the warrior think this is?"
Da Fei frowned, and suddenly thought of so many clocks in the King of Time's house, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "A magic cannon that combines the clock technology similar to that of the Holy Crown City... that can stop the time of the audience?"
The princess mother laughed loudly: "Warrior, your requirements are really too high. Don't say that this imitation can't do it, even the original artifact is far from it!"
Katerina sighed: "So, my lord, the captain has become a god, and his vision is very high, rising to the level of time and space."
The princess mother shook her head and sighed: "It seems that I have made a fool of myself! The war balance is just a tactical artifact, and it has not risen to that height."
Da Fei hastily waved his hands: "No, no, no matter how advanced a strategy is, it must be implemented with effective tactics!"
The princess mother nodded and said solemnly: "That's right! The strategy that can't be implemented is that the mouse hangs a bell on the cat. The reason why the war balance is an artifact of the country is that it can continuously accumulate small victories to big victories, and basically does not require any divine power consumption. It can even be imitated and mass-produced, which is why the Pirate King is eager to get it—then, let Katerina start the second phase of the connection."
Katerina nodded, then pointed to the eight phantom ballistas in the cannon cabin and asked Da Fei: "Captain, can we use these eight phantom ballistas? If it is convenient to use, we don't need to use the cannons we brought. Because this gun is more advanced than the one we brought."
Can you use my cannon? Da Fei said in amazement: "No problem! Of course!"
Katerina said with a smile: "Wait will surprise the captain!"
Brother not only wants to eat a catty, but also licks you clean!
Watching Katerina taking out things like metal wires from the box to connect multiple parts bound to the Phantom Ballista, and then connecting the other end to the "big clock" like a "socket", Da Fei was shocked and doubted himself again. Did you play a fake game!
Finally, the eight phantom ballistas were connected to the "big clock" in the middle of the cannon cabin by dense metal wires like spider webs. What does it look like? It's like an instrument for physical examination of eight patients, like a computer connected to eight machines, it's not like a cannon anyway!
The princess mother said in a deep voice: "The weapon is activated!"
As Katerina pressed the switch on the "big clock", the gears inside the "clock" began to rumble, the crystal lamp on the "clock" shell, the metal wires all over the floor began to shine, and the phantom crossbow connected by metal wires The cannon also began to flash, and then the gun mount of a phantom ballista creaked!
A mechanically synthesized voice came out from the clock: "The No. 1 ballista has been successfully integrated, the integration progress is 15%, and the No. 1 ballista's attack is +15!"
Da Fei was shocked: "Integration? Can this war balance speak?"
Katerina smiled and said, "The automatic console of the captain's skyship can also speak!"
Da Fei suddenly realized: "Could it be that this war balance is a mechanical creature?"
The princess mother clapped her hands and laughed: "Exactly! The balance of war is not a cannon in the traditional sense, but a mechanical creature that can effectively integrate ordinary ballistas into a whole. Coordinated combat effectiveness - faster loading speed, farther and more accurate ballistic calculation, more optimized to avoid the impact of wave fluctuations on the hit rate, and can effectively attack targets on the water surface and behind fog, which is beyond the scope of normal war machines , it is not a gun, but a system!"
Then the mechanical voice sounded again: "...the integration progress of No. 3 ballista is 30%, the attack of No. 3 ballista is +30, the ballistic correction value of No. 3 ballista is increased, the hit rate is increased by 16%, and the shooting range is increased by 22%."
Da Fei was shocked all over, and a modern word flashed through his head - fire control system!
The characteristics of warships during World War II are that the cannons are very large and the barrels are very thick. Aiming basically depends on looking, output basically depends on roar, and loading basically depends on hands. But modern battleships only have one main gun, which is a modern artillery controlled by a computerized fire control system. Whether it is firing, range, or accuracy, it can beat the sum of all the artillery of a World War II battleship!
Could it be that the balance of war is the so-called fire control system? If yes, then can brother achieve the magical skill of "throwing the cannon" that only those professional masters can play
Da Fei hurriedly asked: "Then with such a system, do we still need gunners?"
The princess mother smiled and said: "If there is no attribute bonus for the gunner, this system can only deal the basic damage of the ballista, and there is no one to reload. So the gunner is still indispensable, no, it should be even more necessary, that's the only way Only then can the power of this artifact be exerted to the extreme. I saw a few drunks on the deck just now, and they should be very good gunners."
Da Feile said: "They are all pirate leaders, and I don't even dare to think about their attribute bonuses to ballistas. But my goal is to recruit them all as Katerina's subordinates."
The princess mother nodded, and said seriously: "They are both pirates and heroes among pirates. Perhaps their abilities are despised by warriors who have become gods, but their ambition and greed will definitely exceed the expectations of warriors. If the Warriors are going to bring them to their knees, they need everything to be ready."
Da Fei nodded with a wry smile and said, "It seems that they also want to have similar warships like mine."
The princess mother said seriously: "Then find a way to satisfy them. Their abilities are comparable to those of Locke and Barack back then, and they are worth wooing."
Katerina sighed: "It is estimated that after they become gunners and see the power of the war scale, they will also want the war scale."
The princess mother said solemnly: "Then mass-produce these imitations to satisfy them."
Da Fei hurriedly asked, "How to mass-produce this?"
The princess mother smiled and said: "Materials first! Those machines or ballistas that have been used for a long time, once their durability is exhausted and damaged, they will not be turned into a pile of waste, but a pile of very round and strong parts will be recycled. These parts are actually spiritual. Yes, what we want is to collect that kind of parts. Although it is hard to find, as long as the secret of this formula is not revealed, I believe there are still many factory owners who sell it to us at a low price... "
Hearing this, Da Fei was shocked!
In other words, didn't I assemble such a ballista with only 8 durability left on the sunken ship in Xinren Island? The ballista was directly used in the national war of the pool of light to attack the demon factory before it died, and then lost a few screws! (Chapter 1o9 The National War Begins)
Da Fei hurriedly looked through his backpack, and finally found the pile of parts that had been sleeping for a long time from the deepest part of the backpack—fine gold wear-resistant screw and steel cap x8, fine gold wear-resistant threaded nail x13, and fine gold wear-resistant steel bolt x2!
Da Fei hurriedly handed the parts to the princess mother: "Is it this kind?"
The princess mother was overjoyed: "That's right, it's this kind! And the quality of your parts is very good! It's the top material for making mechanical life!"
I'll fuck it! It turns out that this is the connotation of what my brother has ignored for most of his life. At this moment, Da Fei burst into tears...
