Ye Li had discussed the Jinde Empire's Soul Gathering Cannon with Kaidiwen and others before, and found out that the highest level of the Jinde Empire's Soul Gathering Cannon was only at the Yuantai stage.
Relying solely on this level of spirit gathering cannon, the Jinde Empire could dominate the Miracle Continent for many years, not to mention how much its combat effectiveness would be improved if it had a spirit gathering cannon of the virtual god stage.
As for why the Jinde Empire's Soul Gathering Cannon was only at the Yuantai period level, Ye Li guessed that it was probably due to their limited casting skills and insufficient materials.
After all, the level of weapon casting in the Continent of Miracles is too weak, and there is no list of basic weapon casting materials in the entire continent, so the weapon casters of the Jinde Empire are not much different from those of Kaidiwen and others.
Even if there are earth-level weaponsmiths, without sufficient material support, they can only forge a soul-gathering cannon of the Yuantai period.
The first Spirit Gathering Cannon that Ye Li and his team wanted to experiment with casting naturally could not be from the Virtual God Stage, but had to be made from the Nurturing Stage, because the materials used in the Nurturing Stage were relatively low-level and the difficulty of controlling them was also the lowest.
Ye Li said to Kai Diwen and the other two, "You have mastered the casting methods of all the parts of the Soul Gathering Cannon, so let's work together to cast a Soul Gathering Cannon first.
Once it has been proven to be usable through testing, we will gather all the toolmakers and teach them how to cast parts.
However, in order to prevent the Soul Gathering Cannon's manufacturing process from leaking out, these people must firstly be loyal, and secondly, each of them can only learn a small part of the parts casting techniques.
That is to say, it must be ensured that each person can only access the casting of a small number of parts, and all the parts cast by their joint efforts must be integrated to form a complete soul gathering cannon.
Moreover, the manufacturing process of some core parts cannot be taught to them. It must be completed by the three of you. In this way, even if some of these casting masters have ulterior motives and deliberately inquire about and steal your casting skills, they will not be able to get the complete Soul Gathering Cannon, because only the three of you know the core technology. "
After hearing Ye Li's words, the three of them had a gleam in their eyes, and Pierre said, "Yes, Master, this is a good idea!
We had always thought of forging a Soul Gathering Cannon with the strength of just the four of us, but now that we think about it, with more than 300 parts, it would take a lot of time just to forge one.
Now it seems different. If the parts are divided equally and dozens of people are involved, then it is very likely that a Soul Gathering Cannon can be built in one day, which is nearly ten times faster. Only at this speed can the Soul Gathering Cannon be of great use. Otherwise, it will just be a decoration."
Ye Li nodded after hearing this and said, “But there is one thing, except for the three of you who can help with the Virtual God Stage Soul Gathering Cannon, no one else can help at all.
Therefore, only the four of us will be able to forge the Void God Stage cannon, so the speed won’t be too fast.”
There was nothing they could do about this. After all, it was a Spirit Gathering Cannon of the Virtual God Stage, and only an Earth-level weaponsmith could cast it. Even Kai Diwen and the other two were not strong enough, and could only cast some relatively simple parts.
The key parts with higher technical requirements can only be completed by Ye Li.
After the discussion, the four of them began to work together to forge the first soul-gathering cannon in the gestation period.
The materials for spirit gathering cannons of this level are the easiest to obtain, and it didn't take the people below much time to collect all the necessary items.
Ye Li and three other people were responsible for casting about eighty parts, and it was estimated that they could be completed in five days.
Although there are many parts, the difficulty of casting them is much lower than that of ordinary talismans. With the level of Ye Li and the other three, it is no problem to cast more than ten or twenty of them every day.
Kaidiwen and the other two were filled with excitement and enthusiasm about being able to forge this legendary and unique weapon with their own hands.
Ye Li himself hopes to fully master this technology after practice, and then hand over this technology to the Foundry Hall after returning to his own continent.
With the capabilities of the Foundry Hall, not to mention the Spirit Gathering Cannon of the Virtual God Stage, even the Spirit Gathering Cannon of the Divine Spirit Stage can be produced.
With the existence of a spirit gathering cannon of this level, no matter what conspiracy that person from Dahuntian is planning, it will be difficult to succeed.
With the four of them all showing great enthusiasm, the Soul Gathering Cannon was successfully cast five days later.
The more than 300 parts completed by the four people were assembled together according to the drawings, forming the first soul-gathering cannon of the Farant Empire.
After the soul-gathering cannon was built, they immediately notified King Edwin Lucas.
Edwin Lucas was so excited that he called Wellington, Recent and Fox into the palace to watch the test launch of the Soul Gathering Cannon.
The power source of this cannon is snowflake stone. The power of snowflake stone can activate the formation on the spirit gathering cannon and gather enough spiritual energy.
When these spiritual energies are gathered together and suddenly burst out, they can reach the power of the gestational period.
The four of them, along with the three dukes and Edwin Lucas, came to a secret open space outside the city.
After Ye Li and his men set up the Soul Gathering Cannon, they said to Edwin Lucas, "Your Majesty, let's prepare for the test firing."
Edwin Lucas nodded and said, "Ye Li, thank you for your hard work this time, and you really lived up to everyone's expectations and forged the Soul Gathering Cannon within a year.
Once its test firing is successful, you can start mass production, and then the Soul Gathering Cannon that is monopolized by the Jinde Empire will soon become our secret weapon.
Now our battle with the Jinde Empire has entered a white-hot stage. Unfortunately, we are still at a disadvantage. The number of the enemy's spirit-gathering cannons has exceeded our initial estimate.
Although their soul-gathering cannons are only as powerful as those in the gestational and primordial stages, our troops are hard to match due to their numerical support and have now been forced into a defensive phase.
What I hope is that you can forge enough Soul Gathering Cannons in a short period of time, and we will try our best to delay the battle and leave you enough time to manufacture them.
When the number of soul gathering cannons accumulates, we will launch a surprise attack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop while they are unprepared."
As Edwin Lucas spoke, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. The successful development of the Soul Gathering Cannon had given him immense confidence.
His confidence is not only that he can withstand the attack of the Jinde Empire, but more importantly, that the strength of the Farant Empire will be taken to a higher level, and he will be on par with the Jinde Empire, or even surpass it in the future.
The Duke of Wellington and others also had the same look in their eyes. The Soul Gathering Cannon gave them a lot of confidence.
