Unmatched Soldier King - C621 Self-propelled Magic Cannonball
C621 Self-propelled Magic Cannonball
Feng Lian said: “Its name is Crabburn Pterosaur, and like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is a level fifteen Devil Beast. A million years ago, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Crabburn Pterosaur were the only rulers of the continent. At that time, other races had yet to develop a civilization. ”
Hearing Feng Lian’s words, Ye Tian twitched his mouth and thought to himself, “This really is the same as Earth’s history.”
“This, how is the Crabburn Pterosaur compared to the Tyrannosaurus Rex?” Ye Tian asked.
“Other than possessing wings, other abilities, Crabburn Pterosaur are completely the same as Tyrannosaurus Rex. But because of his new pair of wings, the Crabburn Pterosaur’s fighting ability was even stronger. To put it bluntly, a million years ago, this kind of top-notch flying Devil Beast was almost the strongest slaughtering machine on the continent. Feng Lian explained.
Ye Tian was speechless. One Tyrannosaurus Rex Group was enough to give him a headache, and now another Crabburn Pterosaur appeared.
“How many?” Ye Tian asked again with a serious expression.
Sighing lightly, Feng Lian said: “Looking at it now, it should be the same as Tyrannosaurus Rex Group, with a total of a hundred thousand.”
Ye Tian took a deep breath and continued, “Why hasn’t Ajana used them yet?”
At this time, Bi Ling spoke up, “Even if it’s Tyrannosaurus Rex Group, Aana still hasn’t used them all. Thinking about it, it must be because this level fifteen Devil Beast is really too precious, before we completely understand our fighting capabilities, Aana would not be willing to bring out all of these powerful Devil Beast. ”
Ye Tian nodded in agreement with Bi Ling’s words.
After a brief moment of consideration, Ye Tian said, “However, Sandy Ayana being so cautious actually gave us a chance.”
Saying this, Ye Tian turned around and looked at Bi Ling and Feng Lian, and continued: “This is the benefit of asymmetric intelligence. With Shadowchasing Skylark, we can clearly control the movement of the allied army. But the scouts of the allied forces in the Western Region, Shuzhou City and Xitong Pass have all been monitored by us, and they don’t have any information at all. ”
“If Ajana knew that I only had four thousand tanks, she would probably send all of the Tyrannosaurus Rex onto the battlefield.” Ye Tian smiled and continued.
Actually, Ye Tian’s previous bet had two points. Firstly, Ajarna was concerned about the high casualty rate of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and did not want to completely destroy this precious level fifteen Devil Beast. Second, Ye Tian was betting on information asymmetry. As for the intelligence personnel of the allied army, they had all been controlled by Bi Ling and Feng Lian. Even though they were hiding in the Xitong Pass, they actually didn’t have any information to control at all.
As Aana did not know how many Light Arris Tank and ice armored chariots Ye Tian had in his hands, she did not dare to send all of them onto the battlefield. At the same time, she did not dare to let the thirty thousand Tyrant Dragons, which had already rushed to the foot of Xitong Pass, continue to attack with their lives.
Thus, Aana could only choose to retreat first.
Thus, Ye Tian won the bet.
With a sense of victory in his heart, Ye Tian stood on top of the city wall and said, “Zhuge Liang’s empty strategy back then was only this much.”
After saying that, Ye Tian retracted his mind and started to consider his future plans.
The plan had succeeded, but Ye Tian knew it wouldn’t last long. Furthermore, that Crabburn Pterosaur, Ajana would probably summon it very soon. Because it was impossible to clearly investigate the situation and the distribution of power within the Xitong Pass just by relying on the Kress Tyrant Dragon.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian thought to himself, I wonder how far the Wind Attribute Magic Air Defense Cannon has progressed. Qu Shu better not neglect his Air Defense Cannon as he was only concerned with building Light Arris Tank and Ice Armored Chariots.
Immediately after, Ye Tian suddenly thought of something. Although the Wind Attribute Magic Air Defense Cannons could deal with aerial targets, they could only be installed on the city walls for passive defense. Sooner or later, they would have to face the Crabburn Pterosaur. Once the battle had gone from a strategic stalemate phase to a strategic counterattack phase, they would need a type of air defence cannon that could meet the requirements for battle.
Self-propelled howitzer?
When this word came to Ye Tian’s mind, he couldn’t help but feel excited. In his previous life, the artillery had undoubtedly played a huge role. From the first world war, to the second world war, to the several local wars in the late twentieth century, the artillery had played a huge role.
At the same time, the anti-aircraft guns and the normal artillery which could hit ground targets were only different in terms of pressure and shooting style, but the basic principles of the weapons were basically the same. Therefore, it is completely possible to design a common type of gun chassis. Only by installing different shooting modules on the turret, it will be able to have the impact effects of the anti-aircraft guns and howitzers respectively.
More importantly, if they could create cannons that could shoot out long-range projectiles, they could form a Artillery Battalion inside the Rampart of the Xitong Pass s, and directly fire the cannons at the allied army camp that was tens of miles away from the enemy. On one hand, they could cause direct harm to the allied army, and on the other hand, they could force the allied army to retreat further, which would buy them more space and time to turn their strategy and counterattack in the future.
Ye Tian was extremely excited at this thought. With an excited expression, he turned around and ran down the city wall.
After arriving at the armory, Ye Tian still went into the side room. He picked up a pen and a paper and started drawing again.
Just as he drew a few strokes, Ye Tian suddenly remembered something. Then he walked out of the room and called Cheng Yunwei over from the armory.
After pondering for a few breaths, Ye Tian told Cheng Yunwei about the shape and function of one of the components on the gun chassis.
Although Cheng Yunwei was already an expert in watches and precision metal products, she still didn’t quite understand. She continued asking a dozen more questions before finally understanding the basic principles of the parts Ye Tian had described.
Then, Ye Tian took out a pen and paper and said, “This is the component. You can design it yourself.”
Cheng Yunwei was slightly stunned for a moment before a joyful expression appeared on her face. Since Ye Tian let her design this component, it was clear that he acknowledged her as his disciple.
Picking up a pen and a piece of paper, Cheng Yunwei walked to the workbench, spread out the paper, and began to draw attentively.
Looking at Cheng Yunweixin’s undistracted and dedicated look, Ye Tian showed an expression of admiration for her for no reason.
After a long while, Ye Tian shook his head and said in a low voice, “It’s rare to see a focused girl this year.”
After saying that, Ye Tian also walked to the other workbench. He picked up a pen and a paper and started to draw.
The two of them drew for an entire day and night.
To Ye Tian’s surprise, the part that was originally given to Cheng Yunwei was designed by her in less than four hours.
There were more than a dozen errors in Cheng Yunwei’s design. After Ye Tian pointed them out one by one, Cheng Yunwei immediately corrected them.
After three to four modifications, Cheng Yunwei’s blueprint was now fully operational.
Then, Ye Tian gave some other parts to Cheng Yunwei to draw and design. In the second design session, the number of mistakes Cheng Yunwei made had decreased to three or four.
In the end, after completing the seventh part of the drawing and designing process, Cheng Yunwei no longer made any mistakes. All the blueprints, after being drawn multiple times, would meet Ye Tian’s requirements.
Ye Tian was also flabbergasted by Cheng Yunwei’s learning speed.
Judging from her perception, Cheng Yunwei was almost on par with a genius like him.
In the workshop, Ye Tian mainly drew some complicated parts, such as Energy Converter s, Magic Release Machines, and the Magic Armour. Cheng Yunwei, as his assistant, was responsible for the simpler parts.
One day and one night later, the two of them drew out the blueprint of the cannon.
Looking at the thick pile of blueprints on the workbench, Cheng Yunwei’s heart surged with excitement. This was the first time she and Ye Tian had designed an advanced weapon together.
Although Ye Tian had come up with the design idea and basic principles for this weapon, Cheng Yunwei felt honored to be able to participate in this work and be responsible for the design of some of its components.
The pile of blueprints was divided into five parts. The first part was the chassis of the cannons. This kind of chassis was similar to the chassis of the Light Arris Tank, but because the firing method of the cannons and tank cannons were different, there was actually a huge difference between the two chassis.
On this chassis, you can install a modular turret. There were many types of turret. Due to time constraints, Ye Tian and Cheng Yunwei only designed two modules, one for anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns and the other for long-range artillery.
The second part was the typical anti-aircraft anti-aircraft artillery’s turret module. In order to deal with the Crabburn Pterosaur, Ye Tian specially integrated two types of shooting systems into the turret module, one for each shot and one for each shot. Bullets were Ice Bomb and cannons were wind cannons. In Ye Tian’s words, it was an integrated anti-aircraft system that combined the cannons and cannons together.
There’s actually a difference between a Ice Bomb and a Wind Cannon. Wind cannons focus more on long-range and high-altitude targets and have the ability to guide and track targets on their own. On the other hand, Ice Bomb tended to close in on low-flying defenses. In essence, it was a single tube Magic Machine Gun.
The third part is the true long-range artillery turret module. The shape of this turret module was very similar to Ye Tian’s previous world’s turret used by many countries to make their own howitzers. The cannons used both wind and fire magic, so Ye Tian gave the cannons a name, “Self-made Magic, Wind, Fire, and Howitzer”.
Of course, the name was a bit long, so Ye Tian shortened it to Wind Fire Cannon.
The biggest characteristic of Wind Fire Cannon lies in its power and its range. According to the trajectory’s arc design, it could hit targets up to fifty miles away. At the same time, Ye Tian also learned from the Dark Night Bow’s characteristic which was similar to the B-52 bomber carpet bombing. The Wind Fire Cannon’s cannonball could also achieve destruction within a radius of a hundred meters.
The fourth part was entirely inspired by the inspiration Cheng Yunwei gave Ye Tian.
Cheng Yunwei had once seen the scene of Ye Tian shooting a large compound magic arrow array with his hands on the walls of Xitong Pass with her own two eyes. Therefore, when the chassis of the cannon was designed, Cheng Yunwei’s first thought was to install Ye Tian’s compound Magic Arrow Array onto this chassis, so that the compound arrow array could be launched.
