Chapter 700: Targeted strike

The new weapon in the mouth of the high priest is the large electromagnetic

cannon that has been tested in the northern suburbs.

After the expansion design, its overall size is equivalent to that of the

basaltic organ beast-although most of the structure is used to fix the base of

the gun body, its electromagnetic launcher has also been unprecedentedly

increased to the level of eighteen feet. Limited by the level of smelting,

such a slender slider cannot be formed at one time and can only be achieved by

multi-slice splicing. Not to mention the low yield, the production cycle is

also extremely long. From the success of the experiment to today, only two

doors of the same model have been produced by the Bureau of Mechanical

Engineering, and they have all been installed on Noah’s canoe.

But the benefits of increasing the launch frame are also obvious.

Longer orbit means longer acceleration distance, as well as accommodating

larger long rod projectiles. At the same time, it also reduces the

requirements for the operator in a disguised form. Even the alchemist who is

not so proficient in shaking can accelerate the projectile to the standard

ejection speed within a limited time.

After mounting the shore-based gun on the canoe, the high priest participated

in the calibration test fire, but that was after all shooting at the sea. She

would like to see if this weapon can be as powerful as she imagined when used

in actual combat.

"Noah, stop moving forward!"

"Report that the tree boat is completely still!"

"The sea breeze is northwest, wind force is four!"

"The parameter has been corrected!"

"The target, the enemy machine beast, fired from the No. 1 battery."

A series of instructions flowed between the operators-this is also a major

feature of Jinxia City. The people who use the latest weapons are usually not

generals or soldiers, but researchers who are often in the mechanization

bureau. No matter what they did, they all looked sternly, completely different

from the carefree soldiers under the princess's command.

It took a quarter of an hour to prepare for the first shot.

Compared with the weapon technology itself, this result is quite backward.

However, for the Seven Stars' landing troops, this was a moment that was

almost incomprehensible. In a quarter of an hour, they could not even make the

troops withdraw from the beach.

On the other side, Qiao Zhenggang is also looking at the situation of the tree

boat. He noticed that the huge thing seemed to have stalled, and did not

approach the dock any further.

"Does the other party see the clue?"

"That's not necessarily." The navy guerrilla Master Xu touched his beard and

said, "Master Qiao does not know that the larger the floating objects on the

water, the deeper the draft. The underwater part of this thing called a tree

boat is definitely not small. Too close to the shore is very easy to run

aground, so if you want to land, you have to rely on other boats for

transportation. Even if there is artillery cover, landing is a very risky

thing, so the Jinxia Army probably wants to wait for us to completely give up

the beach. Dock."

"Is that so?" Qiao Zhenggang was relieved. As long as the other party is

willing to come over, he is not afraid of no means to clean up the canoe.

According to this progress, the two sides formally engaged in a battle is

likely to wait until dusk.

Maybe we should prepare more torches in the rear camp.

Just as he was about to give this order, a flash of light suddenly flashed on

the boat.

It is fleeting in the blink of an eye, as if it was just an illusion.

Joe was just raising the observation mirror, before he had time to take a

closer look, a deafening roar suddenly came from the northern beach!

He turned his head, and saw a ball of fire rising into the sky, and there was

also a large amount of debris flying with him!

The thick-mouthed tree fell down, as if swept by a giant hand.

what is this?

He couldn't help but froze in place.

The rest of the soldiers followed their instincts and made the most true

response. They fleeed with their heads in arms to prevent them from being hit

by the gravel falling in the sky. The originally neat and orderly carrying

team suddenly became chaotic, and several teams that were originally adding

wax oil to the mechanism beasts fell together, and the life and death were

unknown.

"Damn it, did the oil barrel catch fire!" Mr. Xu scolded, "Who is responsible

for this, take him here!"

The colleague didn't even notice the light in the distance.

But he is not to blame. The tree boat is still more than 20 miles away from

the shore. It is difficult to observe the changes on the sea horizon with the

eyesight of a non-aspirated person.

Qiao Zhenggang's heart suddenly filled with a strong anxiety.

Is it possible...this explosion was actually a shelling from the Jinxia Army?

But how is it possible! ?

It's not that he has never seen artillery, usually a few miles is good, and

the blooming bomb is just to set off a cluster of dust, how can it create such

an astonishing momentum?

But if the flash just now wasn't a coincidence, can the enemy really do this?

As soon as the thought came out, the fire on the tree boat appeared again.

This time even Xu guerrilla found something strange, "Master Qiao, did you

notice just now—"

He was only halfway there, when the organ beast hiding under the cliff

suddenly exploded into two pieces! It was completely different from the

previous explosion. The large amount of wax oil placed in the organ beast

suddenly turned into a swift flame, splashing around the woods, and the flying

fireball was comparable to a newborn little sun!

Qiao Zheng just felt that the watchtower under his feet was trembling strongly

from the explosion!

"No, this is the enemy's attack!" He finally confirmed this, "Jinxia is firing

at us!"

And they know the layout of the shore well. The first target is the closest

mechanism beast to the sea-only the first shot was slightly missed, which made

people mistakenly think that the transport team had a fault.

But it’s too late to issue a warning.

The burning wax oil not only turned a large number of logistic soldiers into

torches, but also spread to more flammable and explosive materials. There was

a burst of explosions on the beach, and the team carrying supplies instantly

collapsed, even with whips and swords that could no longer stop

them~www.mtlnovel.com~ You mean... they can shoot us at that distance? "Xu

Guerji's face was pale.

"Idiot, can't you see it now?" At this stage, Qiao Zhenggang didn't bother to

be polite. "Let the stormtrooper set off immediately and buy time for the rear

camp to move!"

"But the enemy hasn't approached the shore yet, the stormtroopers might be--"

He grabbed the other's collar, "I don't care how many of them will survive,

but the Yunlong organ beast can't be folded here, do you understand?"

That thing is expensive to build, and it is also a key weapon to deal with the

Jinxia bipedal beast, and he can't bear the responsibility for all the losses.

"Okay," Mr. Xu said with an embarrassed expression, "I will just do it."

Suddenly, the corner of Qiao Zhenggang's eyes caught two flashes of light-they

were so short that they were lit almost at the same time.

Such terrible artillery, is there more than one on the tree boat?

Where are they aiming again this time?

Could it be—

This thought caused Qiao Zhenggang's blood to freeze. He pushed his colleagues

away and was about to jump off the observation deck. A stream of light had

flown from the horizon and penetrated under the wooden tower.

He only heard a loud bang, and he felt that he was beaten hard by something,

and then his whole body flew up. He wanted to control his posture in the air,

but he couldn't find the perception of the presence of his feet. Before the

numbness and cold swallowed him, Qiao Zheng just rolled his eyes and looked

down, but he could only see his broken half of his body.
