Chapter 714

"Rune Cannon!"

Kerstakin let out a cry of surprise, and then he couldn't be sure, his face was full of curiosity.

He is one of the only rune lords among the dwarves. His forging technology and rune knowledge are top-notch. In terms of knowledge and profound knowledge, he is not much worse than the holy soul wizard, and even surpasses it.

Dwarves developed artillery technology in the third era. Over the past few hundred years, many dwarf artisans have learned soul gun technology from humans, which has promoted the progress of ancient dwarf firearms. Artillery technology with similar principles has also been rejuvenated and matured day by day.

Kerstakin is very good at casting rune cannons. At the beginning of the construction of the city wall, he proposed to Rennes to add rune cannons to the wall, but Rennes refused.

He thought that Ren felt that the rune cannon was too expensive, but only now did he know that Ren had a substitute for the cannon.

After taking a closer look, I found that this thing is somewhat similar to the rune cannon in appearance, but there is actually a fundamental difference.

The most notable difference is the barrel.

The barrel of the rune cannon is very thick, it can fit a person in it, and the length is less than three meters, which looks extremely bulky.

And the weapon that Renn took out has a barrel nearly five meters long, only thicker than an arm, dark and straight, with a smooth surface, and its diameter is not fixed. With a square solid metal shell, it is installed in a rotatable spherical shield.

This spherical shield is made of gray metal, with a diameter of about two meters. Kerstagin cannot see the structure inside the shield, but it can be judged that the extreme gun barrel can rotate at a full angle on the horizontal plane, and can also be lifted. Large enough to hit targets directly above.

The spherical shield is engraved with dense runes and engraved lines, flowing with obscure blue energy.

Kerstakin is well-informed and can tell that this is a Titan rune!

The barrel and shield were installed on a huge base, the base of the cube was so high that the upper edge could not be reached by a dwarf standing on tiptoe. Kerstakin touched it with his hand, and immediately recognized that it was made of some kind of magic alloy, and there was no gap in the whole body. Obviously, the most important secret of this weapon was hidden inside it.

"Such a superb forging process..."

Kerstakin touched it with his hands, and after observing it carefully, he was immediately amazed: "I have never seen such a strange casting style!"

The first impression this weapon gave him was that it was simple and sharp, without any decorations. It didn't look like a creation born from a forge at all, without a trace of hammering, but it revealed brilliant design everywhere, containing profound crystallization of wisdom.

Kerstakin felt a kind of icy beauty, and every detail of it was designed to exert the greatest effect and cause the greatest damage.

The only purpose of this thing is to kill people!

He was almost intoxicated.

Even if he hasn't seen its power yet, just this unique design, which is completely different from the Arranus race, can bring him a lot of inspiration, and the power is definitely not bad.

Blestein's forging technology is not as good as Kerstakin's, but his vision is not bad, and he also feels a strong and fierce aura.

The two dwarves looked at Ren anxiously, hoping that he could answer.

Ren smiled smugly.

"This is indeed a cannon, but it's different from the rune cannon. I named it..." He paused, originally intending to say "laser cannon", but there is no "laser cannon" in either the imperial language or the dwarven language. "This word, this concept is also very troublesome to explain.

"Electric light cannon."

Ryan changed to a name that was easier to understand.

This is the result of more than half a month of joint research and development by him and more than 20 Thundercast Sky Soldiers. The prototype is the concept of "laser cannon" in the previous life, a directed energy weapon that only exists in science fiction film and television works!

The laser cannons on Earth are just prototypes, with average lethality and many flaws.

But in Alan Erth, a world full of extraordinary power and magical materials, Renn easily overcomes many difficulties in making laser cannons.

In many cases, what a new invention lacks is not the idea, but the conditions for its realization.

He used magic, runes, and alchemy materials, combined with a brain-splitting chip, to create this magical version of the laser cannon in just over half a month, and tested it. It may not be as powerful as the lasers on those interstellar battleships. Cannon, but in the world of Ellenus, it is definitely an unprecedented new weapon.

"Electric light cannon..."

The eyes of the two dwarves lit up, thinking about the meaning of the name.

"Install it first." Ren selected a location on the city wall, waved his hand and called a few dwarf craftsmen to quickly build a brand new turret on this section of the city wall.

The turret is about ten meters higher than the city wall, and the bottom is as wide as the city wall, leaving a spacious passage in the middle, which will not hinder the smooth flow of the city wall. The interior of the turret is solid, and the wall becomes narrower as it goes up, and finally forms a square platform with a side length of five meters, with a sinking in the middle, just enough to fit the base of the electro-optical cannon.

The dwarf craftsmen carved the rune circle on the surface of the turret, which merged with the entire city wall and became as hard as steel, able to resist the bombardment of spell energy.

Ren put the electro-optical cannon into the nebula ring, flew up, and put it into the pit on the platform, and the two were perfectly inlaid together.

Then take out tens of tons of steel, soften it with activated metal, cover the base of the artillery and the platform under the feet, and wrap the upper half of the turret with metal to make it more stable.

Kerstakin looked up at the tall turret with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ren, why don't you dig steps in the wall so that the artillerymen can go up?" He couldn't understand it, and asked, "There is no place around it, where is the artilleryman standing?"

"Electro-optical guns don't need gunners." Ren shook his head and replied.

Kerstakin's eyes widened, "If you don't need a gunner, how can you fire?"

"It's fully automatic."

As soon as Ren's voice fell, the electro-optic cannon was activated.

The wall of the turret vibrated slightly, and there was a low roaring sound from it. The dwarves saw hundreds of runes lit up on the shield of the electric light cannon, and a layer of shield stretched outwards, and disappeared instantly .

At the same time, streaks of blue light surged from the dark gun barrel.

There was a whistling sound in the air.

The armor on the dwarves, the tools and weapons in their hands, all felt paralyzed like an electric shock, and the hairs all over their bodies stood up, and there were faint lightning beatings in their thick beards, and an indescribable feeling enveloped the surroundings.

The hemispherical shield suddenly turned, and the direction of the barrel also turned a few times.

At least tens of thousands of pounds of metal gun barrel actually has a sense of lightness and flexibility. It rotates very fast, sometimes raising it to the maximum elevation angle, sometimes lowering it, or adjusting the angle slightly, and suddenly stopping to aim at a distant target. .

Kerstakin watched the turret adjust and had an illusion.

It seems that this is not a cannon, but a living creature. Inside the heavy metal structure, there is a highly intelligent soul hidden.

The six red crystals set in a circle on the shield are its eyes.

The energy source installed in the base of the turret is its heart!

"My lord, try to fire."

Blestein spoke out the aspirations of all the dwarves present, Ren glanced at them, the corners of his mouth raised, and decided to satisfy their curiosity.

"good."

Ren nodded slightly.

Immediately, the dwarves heard a sharp roar.

Shhhhhhhhh...

They had never heard this kind of sound, it was dense enough to overlap, like thunder, but they couldn't describe it accurately.

The muzzle shot out a series of faint blue light beams like a storm, faster than lightning, and it was hard to follow.

In the blink of an eye, several beams of light shot into the twisted and dark forest on the opposite side of the strait, and then a series of explosions occurred.

Amid the rumbling sound, large tracts of trees fell down, exposing the scorched ground.

"hiss……"

"Moradin on top!"

"Mother God..."

The dwarves all gasped, some screamed, some were dumbfounded, and some were too shocked to speak.

Kerstakin visually inspected the bombed woods, and said in disbelief, "The range exceeds four thousand blades!"

"Blade" is the distance unit of dwarves, and a blade is roughly equal to half a meter.

Ren nodded. Kerstakin's visual inspection was very accurate. The effective range of the electro-optic cannon can reach two kilometers, but this is only the range of one of the firing modes. The electro-optical cannon has three firing modes with different ranges.

With a thought in his mind, the electric light cannon that had just stopped roared again.

Thunder burst.

Beams of beams sprayed out from the muzzle, firing continuously at a frequency of ten times per second.

The muzzle turned slowly, and the line of fire formed by the light beams moved accordingly. The landing point of each beam was within control. In just a dozen seconds, the forest on the opposite bank fell like cutting wheat, and a line of hundreds of meters long appeared. The scorched clearing.

Most of the dwarves couldn't see clearly how many beams of light were fired in these ten seconds, they couldn't count them at all.

But judging from the damage caused, each beam is at least equivalent to a three-ring spell!

The dwarves were so dumbfounded that they couldn't even cry out.

In such a short period of time, hundreds of three-ring spells were released, with such a long range and such precision... Not to mention ordinary dwarf warriors, even legendary steel shield guards, under the muzzle of the electro-optic cannon, will instantly Torn to shreds.

Ren looked at the dumbfounded dwarves, smiled secretly, and controlled the electro-optical cannon to switch to the second firing mode.

A low howling energy came from the hemispherical shield, and the huge flow of energy turned the barrel of the gun blue.

Three seconds later, a faint blue ray shot out.

This time the firing was no longer at a high frequency like a storm, but a continuous ray, like a beam of light, the diameter was thicker than a dwarf's thigh, continuously bursting out zigzag lightning bolts.

The ray pierced the air, slanted downward, and hit the ground a thousand meters away.

A fire quickly ignited there, the surrounding trees burned, and the soil and rocks on the ground were melted, turning into a magma pool in a few seconds.

The muzzle turned, and the rays swept across the sky like a thousand-meter-long sharp sword.

Wherever it passed, the trees were neatly cut off.

It took eight seconds for the rays to stop, and the barrel returned to black, and the heat from the muzzle could be felt even if it was more than ten meters away.

"Electric light rays!"

The dwarves were silent until Kerstakin spoke, with a look of enlightenment on his face.

He already recognized the spell cast by the electric light cannon.

It's electro-optic rays.

The high-frequency firing just now also shoots out electric light rays, but the speed is too fast, compressing the electric light rays of the lowest third ring and releasing them more than ten times in one second, achieving the powerful effect of artillery bombardment.

The second continuous sweep is the original form of the electric light ray, but, just looking at the power, it is similar to the seven-ring spell.

However, the range of the electro-optical cannon has reached more than ten times!

Kerstakin couldn't understand how Rennes did it?

He can also use electro-optic rays, if controlled in the third ring, he can also fire instantly, but he must not fire more than a dozen times in a second, or even three times, which is far beyond the limit of ordinary people's thinking speed, and the range It's even more incredible.

Where does the energy of the electric light cannon come from? How does it work?

Costakin had countless questions in his mind.

Yet this is not the end.

The electro-optical cannon was silent for half a minute, as if waiting for the barrel to cool down, it suddenly started to work again.

A cloud of blue light appeared at the muzzle of the gun, but it was not emitted. It quickly condensed into a larger light cluster. Countless energy was poured into it. The light cluster became bigger and bigger, and the electric light became more and more dazzling, like a small sun. People cannot look directly.

The dwarves all held their breath and stared intently.

Finally, twelve seconds later, there was a bang, like a bolt from the blue exploding beside their ears, causing the dwarves to cover their ears subconsciously, and couldn't help but track where the ray of light fell.

Half a second later, a beam of violent light erupted in the field of vision.

Everyone closed their eyes.

A shocking explosion sounded immediately, followed by a strong shock wave, and the city wall under construction trembled. Fortunately, it was far away and did not cause any damage.

When the explosion subsided, the dwarves saw a large clearing in the forest three kilometers away.

Everything within 100 meters of the explosion point was destroyed.

There was a deep pit in the middle of the clearing, and the forest 100 meters away fell down radioactively, as if it had been bombed by a meteorite.

"this……"

All the dwarves who saw this scene were frightened, their lips trembled, and they all stopped their work.

"This has the power of a nine-ring spell!"

Kerstakin could hardly believe his eyes.

No wonder Ren said that it was different from the rune cannon. The rune cannon was not so terrible at all.

Such a frightening blow, although it was still a certain transformation mode of the electric light ray, has reached the power of the nine-ring spell!

He turned his head to look at Ren suddenly, his eyes were full of fanaticism.

"Ren, the electro-optical cannon is the most powerful artillery in the world! No, it is the most powerful weapon in the world!" Kerstakin's voice was a little trembling, and he said loudly in an almost adoring tone: "If You can teach me the manufacturing method and principle of the electric light cannon, I am willing to swear to you in the name of God, and become your follower for life!"

Not only Kerstakin, but also many dwarves were moved and hurriedly picked them up.

Apparently, they had the same idea as Kerstakin.
