Chapter 470 Spirit Cannon
At dawn the next day, Liu Changxu appeared on the tall and broad east wall of Duobao City. Standing on the high wall, he looked at the sea from a distance. He felt broad-minded and refreshed!
But thinking about the coming beast tide, Liu Changxu's mood immediately dropped, and he secretly guessed what kind of scene it would be like once the sea monsters covered the sea in front of him, and how he would deal with it!
Looking at the defense of Duobao City, the wall he is standing on is undoubtedly a very important part.
Although the high city wall cannot stop the second-order and above sea monsters that can fly at low altitude, it is still the most effective method to deal with the first-order sea monsters that cannot fly and are the most numerous.
But the resources consumed in building such a tall and majestic city wall are also staggering.
Liu Changxu estimated that the city wall is on average thirty feet high and ten feet wide. The east wall alone is more than fifty miles long. How huge a project of this scale will be.
In addition, in order to maximize the defensive power of the city wall, the main material for building the city wall is the first-class diamond rock, which makes the cost of building the city wall extremely high.
Thinking of this, he had to be impressed by Duobao City's strong financial resources.
Before Liu Changxu could feel too much emotion, Jianxiu Lin Feiyang appeared in front of him quickly.
"Changxu has met Senior Brother Lin! I'm here to take over!"
Liu Changxu stepped forward very enthusiastically and said:
According to the shift arrangement of the city wall guard, every six hours, today Liu Changxu should be on duty during the day, but in order to familiarize himself with the defense of the city wall as soon as possible, he came a little earlier.
"Junior brother is indeed punctual! You came here so early."
Lin Feiyang replied lukewarmly:
"This little brother is here for the first time and knows nothing about this place. I would like to ask my senior brother for an introduction!"
Liu Changxu expressed his needs sincerely. He thought that this request was reasonable and reasonable.
“This is natural!”
After finishing speaking, Lin Feiyang took Liu Changxu to inspect the city wall defense.
Compared with Wu Kun's enthusiasm, Lin Feiyang's attitude towards Liu Changxu was neither enthusiastic nor too cold. When he introduced the defensive personnel and equipment on the city wall, he was concise and to the point!
But from his eyes, it can be seen that he is an extremely proud man, and he always looks at Liu Changxu with a trace of scrutiny and arrogance.
Liu Changxu couldn't figure out why, but he could also see that Lin Feiyang was an aloof person. Although such a person was not very close on the surface, he was real enough.
After Lin Feiyang’s introduction and inspection, Liu Changxu also had a general understanding of the defense of the east city wall.
The opening and control of the city defense formation are usually in the hands of Jindan Dzogchen monk Li Tianyang.
After the entire city defense formation is activated, there are four levels according to defense and counterattack capabilities.
The lowest level can only defend against the attack of the first-level sea monster, because this level consumes the least spiritual stones, and it is also the level when it is usually turned on.
When the second level of the formation is activated, it can withstand the attacks of the second-level and below-level sea monster groups. The amount of spiritual stones consumed to activate and maintain this level of defense is an order of magnitude higher than that of the first level.
The third level can resist the attack of the third-level sea monster.
By analogy, the fourth level can defend against the attack of the fourth level sea monster.
In addition to relying on the powerful defensive power of the city defense formation, Duobao City's most effective weapon in dealing with the impact of the beast tide is the spiritual cannon set up on the city head.
Spirit cannons use high-grade spiritual stones as energy sources and are mainly equipped on skyships and large cities. They have the power to destroy heaven and earth. However, there are only two spiritual cannons deployed on the east wall. Judging from the caliber, they should be the least powerful ones.
Even so, it is quite good to have two spiritual cannons stationed on the east city wall. Not only is this kind of large-scale killing weapon expensive to build, but its wartime consumption is also extremely terrifying.
Liu Changxu saw the spirit cannon at close range for the first time today, so he looked at it very carefully.
This spiritual cannon looks very simple. It consists of three parts: barrel, body and mount.
The barrel is about five feet long. The outer wall of the barrel is made of high-grade spiritual gold. The inner tube is a jade pillar made of high-grade spiritual jade. One end of the muzzle is as smooth as a mirror.
In fact, the most critical component of the spirit cannon is this jade pillar. The entire jade pillar is made of lightning jade. The entire jade pillar is engraved with extremely complex restrictions.
The cannon body is even bigger. It is made of high-grade spiritual gold and spiritual jade. Not only is it engraved with extremely complex formation restrictions, it is also equipped with grooves for placing high-grade spiritual stones.
The gun mount is also made of high-level spiritual gold. Its most important function is to urge the gun barrel to turn and aim. It is also engraved with a complex forbidden array.
The entire spiritual cannon is usually sacrificed by the city lord himself, but the specific operator is the late-stage foundation-building monk.
The specific operator of the spiritual cannon that Liu Changxu watched was a Foundation-Building Dzogchen monk named Su Ze. Judging from his gray hair, he was estimated to be at least one hundred and fifty years old.
Seeing the young Jindan monk coming to learn about the spirit cannon, he did not dare to tell Liu Changxu what he knew without any reservation.
However, Lin Feiyang secretly despised Liu Changxu's ignorance about the spirit cannon! He didn't expect that the majestic Qingyun Sect's true disciples didn't even understand spiritual cannons.
Although Liu Changxu was aware of Lin Feiyang's disdainful attitude, he still continued to inquire:
"Brother, have you ever used this spiritual cannon?"
"Master Qi! I have been operating the spiritual cannon for more than thirty years and have experienced no less than ten battles. I have used this spiritual cannon three times. I have shot two third-level sea monsters and two sea monsters below the second level. The demons shot and killed countless people."
Su Ze looked very excited when talking about his past combat experience.
After all, being able to kill a third-level sea monster with a spiritual cannon is easy to say, but not easy to do. He can kill a third-level sea monster with a spiritual cannon with a foundation-building cultivation level, which can also be called transcending levels. And fight.
Spirit cannons are powerful weapons, but they are not satisfactory in use! It is a typical example of high cost and poor use effect.
As for why, the main reason is that the spirit cannon is too large and bulky, and it is a big problem to control and aim. Moreover, the range of the spirit bomb is effective, so it is not easy to aim and kill high-level monks and monsters with keen senses.
"It's not easy for me to be able to kill the third-order sea monster with this cannon!"
Liu Changxu couldn't help but encourage:
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Lin Feiyang was very impatient with Liu Changxu and Su Ze, the Foundation-Building Dzogchen monk in front of him, who kept talking. He left before Liu Changxu finished the conversation.
"Junior brother, is there anything else? If nothing happens, I will take the first step."
Liu Changxu also reacted at this time. He had just asked Su Ze about the situation of the spirit cannon. He ignored this senior brother and quickly replied:
"Thank you for your help, senior brother. Just now, junior brother has basically understood what's going on here." Situation! Brother, please go slowly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the senior brother Lin in front of him flew away, and Liu Changxu also started his first duty in Duobao City.
