The floating turret designed by Ye Zan is not the kind of turret with a barrel extending out. It is even different from most energy cannons in the technological world. If there are other visitors from the technological world who see this so-called floating turret, it may be difficult to connect it with a weapon.
This floating turret is divided into two parts, one is the floating base of the turret, and the other is the main weapon system of the turret.
The suspended base is a disc with a diameter of ten meters, a bit like the flying saucer imagined in the early technological era, or a huge upside-down saucer. The role of the suspension base is not only to connect with the energy veins of the formation and provide the ability to suspend flight, but also to undertake the work of energy conversion.
You must know that in this world, energy has different attributes. Unlike in the technological world, "electric energy" is just electric energy.
This suspended turret requires the use of the energy of a large array, and the energy of the large array is more complex in terms of attributes. Not only the "Five Elements" that people often talk about, but also "Yin and Yang", and there are many changes between "Yin and Yang" and the "Five Elements".
After all, the "energy" in the formation itself is used to exert the power of the formation. Only by matching various "energy" with each other can the formation have so many changes and create various effects.
Ye Zan designed this suspended turret to give the formation the ability to attack outwards, but he did not want to affect the stability of the formation itself. Therefore, it was impossible for him to adapt the formation to the turret. He could only adapt the energy requirements of the turret to the formation.
In addition, another advantage of Ye Zan's design is that the turret's attack can have some characteristics of a large formation, instead of simply condensing energy attacks.
On the suspended base is the main weapon system of the turret, which looks like a huge mechanical eyeball with a diameter of about five meters. The entire mechanical sphere is not covered with a protective film on the outer layer, and the assembled structure of the metal modules is directly exposed to the outside. It has some of the true meaning of "riveting and steel" in the teachings of the "Multi-turret Cult".
However, the reason why Ye Zan did this was not to forcefully comply with the teachings, but because the mechanical sphere was designed with the function of changing its shape. In other words, it looks like a mechanical sphere now, but when it is actually used, it will change into other shapes as needed.
This change of shape is not to be "cool", but to adjust the appropriate attack method according to different energy characteristics.
As mentioned before, the main weapon system is like a mechanical eyeball, so on one side of the mechanical sphere, there is also a "small" sphere with a diameter of two meters, which is like the "iris" of the eyeball. However, this "iris" is in a semi-detached state, and its actual function is the main attack body of the weapon system, which is the so-called "muzzle".
The mechanical eyeball is suspended on a suspended base, about one meter away from the suspended base, and the energy transmission between the two uses wireless transmission. At the position where the suspended base is directly opposite the mechanical eyeball, one side of the base is engraved with a runic array regarding energy transmission, which also provides the mechanical eyeball with suspension power.
The reason why the mechanical eyeball is kept suspended is to reduce the dead angle of attack as much as possible. At least other directions except directly below can be included in the attack range.
Under the spells of Ye Zan and Ye Ping'an, the first strange-looking floating turret flew into the air under the gaze of everyone, and was embedded in the manifested formation veins. With the final completion of the embedding, the entire suspended turret flickered in and out, and finally disappeared completely after several times.
"Your Majesty, that turret..." Mo Ru asked Ye Zan very curiously.
"It has been successful." Ye Zan said, reaching out and pointing in the air, and the floating turret appeared again. However, although the shape of the floating turret did not change at this time, the surface seemed to be coated with a faint light, making it appear more mysterious.
"How can I test its power?" Ye Ping'an also stopped his power at this time and turned to look at Ye Zan.
Yes, it is not enough to successfully embed it in like this. The floating turret must also have enough power. Hearing Ye Ping'an's inquiry, Mo Ruzi and others' eyes also showed anticipation. Although they have more doubts in their hearts, they still hope to see surprising results.
"This... how to try, or else I need to trouble Lord Yongye to be a target?" Ye Zan said jokingly.
Although Ye Zan was joking, this was indeed a problem. After all, Yu Qingzong could not find any test objects that could be used as targets.
If it were to hit a random mountain, it wouldn't be a big deal, and there wouldn't be any environmentalists to condemn it. However, a mountaintop, even if it is made entirely of steel, cannot compare with the power of the Dharma Realm. In other words, just because a cannon destroyed the mountain top, it does not mean that it can damage the Dharma Realm power.
Hearing Ye Zan's joke, Ye Ping'an rolled his eyes angrily, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'm just trying to see if your turret is worth continuing to refine."
It has to be said that Ye Ping'an is indeed full of resentment for this job. In his opinion, if he can get corresponding rewards after all his hard work, then it will be worth it even if he is tired and vomits blood. However, if the result is the opposite and all your hard work has been in vain, then I'm afraid I will be so angry that I vomit blood.
Ye Ping'an's response made Ye Zan even look surprised. He turned around and asked, "What did Mr. Dao say? I was just joking. In fact, I already knew the power of this turret. No testing is needed at all.”
However, Ye Ping'an shook his head and said very stubbornly: "You know what you are doing. We can't see the test results, but we don't have any confidence in our hearts. If this thing is easy to use, I will suffer a lot from now on." I admit it, but if the result is not as good as you said... then I will suffer in vain! "
"Your Majesty, it's not because the disciples don't believe in Your Majesty. In fact, the enemy our sect faces this time is an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. Facing such a powerful enemy, the disciples have been feeling helpless these days. It’s really hard to do things with peace of mind, please give me a clear warning!” Mo Rushi and others saw that Ye Zan did not intend to continue testing the turret, and he quickly begged with a bitter look on his face.
Although Mo Ru and others said they believed in Ye Zan, in fact, they obviously still had reservations about this floating turret. This is not difficult for them, after all, as they said, the dragon clan is an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, and no one dares to place all their hopes on that strange turret.
Moreover, to Mo Rushi and others, Ye Zan is just a senior person, not a saint who never makes mistakes. Who can guarantee that Ye Zan's design on this turret can really achieve the desired effect? What if there are any omissions in it
Ye Zan raised his brows slightly, but he was not angry because of everyone's suspicion. Instead, he still asked Mo Rushi and others with a somewhat joking tone: "Why, do you also think that Yong Ye Daojun was asked to do the test?" Target, is it the perfect choice?”
To actually let a guest, who is also a powerful person in the Dharma Realm, be used as a target for testing the turret. This is a bit inappropriate both emotionally and logically!
When Mo Ru waited for others to hear Ye Zan's words, thinking about what he just said, it was really easy for people to misunderstand him.
"Master Dao, please don't misunderstand me. This is not what we mean!" Mo Rushi and others hurriedly explained to Ye Ping'an, and then said to Ye Zan: "Your Majesty, what we mean is, can we use other methods to do this?" The purpose of testing the power of this turret is not to let Yongye Daojun be the target!"
"Okay, you don't need to say any more! I've already said it before. If I don't test the power of this turret myself, I won't be in the mood to continue doing the rest." Although Mo Rusi and others have already explained, but the night is peaceful However, he did not borrow the power of the turret, but still insisted on his previous suggestion and wanted to experience the power of the turret in person.
However, before Ye Zan could respond, Mo Ruzhi and others were already shocked, and quickly stopped him: "No way, Lord Dao! Lord Dao is a guest of my Yuqing Sect, and we must never let Lord Dao do this." Such a thing!”
"Guest? Have you ever seen a guest work so hard! If you need to refine one or two pieces, or even ten or eight pieces, as a guest, I can just do it. But now, how much do I want to make? Ten thousand! One hundred thousand! Is this what the guests did?" Ye Ping'an's resentment broke out, and he shouted to Mo Rushi and others with dissatisfaction and grievance.
Indeed, the tasks Ye Zan assigned to Ye Ping'an were not tasks for guests. Even a coolie might not be so tiring. However, can Yepingping refuse? Under the constraints of the inner demon's oath, he didn't have to fight the dragon clan, he was just refining something, and there was no reason to break the oath.
"This... Lord Dao, please calm down!" Mo Rushi and the others were frightened when they saw this. They didn't know that Ye Ping'an was bound by the inner demon's oath, and they were afraid that Ye Ping'an would go crazy in the Yuqing Sect because of this.
Mo Rushi and others actually disagreed with Ye Zan's decision to hand over such heavy work to Ye Ping'an. In their opinion, regardless of which forbidden area Ye Ping'an came from, since he agreed to come to Yuqingzong to take charge, he had already given Yuqingzong a big advantage.
Such a "baby" should be held on the head and placed on the altar table, and should be "treated with courtesy" instead of being forced to do hard work.
Of course, Mo Rushi and others couldn't understand why Ye Pingping had to do it obediently since he was dissatisfied with the work assigned by Ye Zan. Although this is definitely a good thing for the people of Yuqing Sect, it does not prevent them from expressing sympathy for Ye Ping'an.
"Okay, do you want to test it?" Ye Zan glanced at everyone, turned his eyes to Ye Ping'an, and said: "Since Daojun insists on being the target himself, then naturally I have nothing to say. I believe Daojun is so You can do it with confidence to ensure your own safety. So, let’s talk about the testing method!”
The test method is actually very simple. After all, it is not a military exercise. It is just a matter of shooting a target with a cannon to see how powerful the turret is.
So, after a few words of conversation, Ye Ping'an jumped into the air and flew all the way out of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation. At the same time, Ye Zan also controlled the suspended turret, moving along the lines of the formation in mid-air, and quickly locked onto Ye Ping'an's figure.
"Come on!" Ye Ping'an was in the air, pinching the magic formula with his hands to activate the magic power, and a tall thousand-hand magic statue appeared next to him.
"Be careful!" Seeing that Ye Ping'an was ready, Ye Zan naturally said nothing more and gave the attack order to the turret.
Following the instructions given by Ye Zan, the weapon part of the suspended turret was seen, and a large number of modular components were rapidly rotating up, down, left and right like a Rubik's Cube. At the same time, the "iris" of the mechanical eyeball, the sphere serving as the "muzzle", also protruded from the big ball.
On the suspended base, streams of energy flowed into the runic array inside, and then poured into the mechanical eyeball through the one-meter gap. A large amount of energy poured in, causing the "iris" of the mechanical eye to quickly light up. Finally, a cannon light ejected from it and hit Ye Ping'an in the distance in the air.
Of course, after all, it was just a test, and the target of the test was still his own people, so Ye Zan still put some restrictions on the attack intensity of the turret. He had already determined the power of this turret through calculations and simulations. Naturally, he didn't want this shot to kill a rare coolie like Ye Ping'an.
Besides, Ye Ping'an, since he participated in the refining of the turret, naturally has a certain understanding of the power of the turret. Therefore, he would never commit the joke of injuring or killing himself because of "underestimating the enemy".
Facing the incoming cannon light, Ye Ping'an only had a thought in his mind, and the Thousand Hands Technique behind him immediately started to move. The countless arms of the Dharma form, like thousands of snakes coming out of their holes, instantly swarmed in front of Ye Ping'an, forming barriers with their palms.
There was no roar, and the cannon light collided with Ye Ping'an's Thousand Hands Barrier, like red-hot iron bars inserted into the ice and snow, blasting a big hole in the Thousand Hands Barrier along the way. However, the energy of the cannon light was constantly being offset during the bombardment. By the time it really hit Ye Ping'an, there was not much energy left.
Ye Ping'an did not test how much power the cannon light shot in front of him still had. Instead, he moved to another position and completely let go of the remaining cannon light.
"Don't watch him dodge. I only used 50% of the turret's power. If it were to use 100% of its power, he might not have a chance to dodge. In addition, this is just a turret. You can imagine what it would be like if it were a turret. Tens of thousands of turrets fired in volley, and it would be difficult for the opponent to escape from the attack range unless they moved their space." Ye Zan explained to Mo Rushi and others while controlling the turret. After all, his one shot didn't kill Ye Ping'an. If they only looked at the surface, others would think it was his plan that didn't work.
