The energy center was very long, and Steno and Zhou Jiang could not go any higher after climbing to the thirty-seventh floor.
It’s not that there is no escalator, but the temperature up there is too high, their bodies are not strengthened enough, and even their space suits will be burned.
Steno explained, "Because the fortress was so severely damaged, the entire system collapsed, and the extraordinary cannon was unable to release energy in time. In other words, this thing will remain overheated for a long time until the main body melts down."
He reported the situation from his watch and asked the conductor if he could help cool it down.
Chen An’s answer was not to cool down, just get the information and leave.
Steno sighed, "What a shame, such a beautiful spiral structure."
The outer shell of the upper cylinder is damaged, and the quadruple helix structure inside can be seen, emitting a red luster under high temperature.
Zhou Jiang asked: "Can the energy be released from here to emit a beam of light?"
Stino shook his head. "There's a complex energy conversion structure up there. Let's leave it at that for now. Let's go down."
Just as they were climbing down, a sudden explosion came from the bottom.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jiang's eyes were murderous, and the knife behind him glowed blue.
The watch transmitted a message: "There are dozens of extraordinary masters hiding here. Two of them are at the seventh level, and the others are at the sixth level. They are trying to blow up the energy center and die with us."
The energy center was not blown up, but the cylinder was damaged and was in a state of collapse.
"Oh no, the escalator will collapse as well." Zhou Jiang was shocked.
Stino was more relaxed and reminded, "There's a skybridge leading to the wall every five floors. We'll leave from there."
They were on the 37th floor, two floors down to the 35th. They walked through the sky bridge to the wall and the door opened automatically.
Inside is a spacious energy monitoring room.
"There's an elevator. Let's go down from here."
The password of the entire fortress was completely cracked by Fuyao and is now in an unprotected state.
After entering the elevator, Zhou Jiang pressed the button for the first floor, but Steno was more concerned about the button for the 100th floor at the top.
What’s strange is that the floors go from the 40th to the 100th, with no exit in between.
The elevator was moving very fast. After reaching the first floor, Zhou Jiang drew out the two swords from behind and rushed out, chopping down the imperial soldiers to the ground like a killing god.
Instead of going out, Steno pressed the hundredth floor.
“Since there are no restrictions, I can go wherever I want.”
Chen An noticed his actions and asked Fuyao, "What is the hundredth floor?"
[Inside is the launch center of the spiral railgun, with a large number of strange spiral structures. There is no record of them in any documents. It is top secret and no information can be left.]
If you want to keep it top secret, the best way is not to leave any information online.
"Let him go if there's no danger."
The battle on the ground was not dangerous, and five seventh-level transcendents were enough to crush it.
After a while, Steno entered the launch center and was dazzled by the dense spiral crystals in front of him.
He wanted to reach out and touch it, but the crystal emitted an extremely high temperature, which made Steno, who was only at the fifth level, very uncomfortable and unable to get close at all.
He looked around and found the control console.
"Why is there a control console here?"
After looking at it, I found that the function of the console is to control the opening or closing of the spiral crystal.
"The main control room can't be operated?"
Steno then used the watch to connect to the data of the console and obtained a large amount of operation logs.
He carefully analyzed the log and finally understood the function of these crystals.
"It turns out that the core of the Spiral Super Cannon is here, not the quadruple pipes below."
"There are a total of sixty-four sets of spiral crystals, which convert super energy into beams of light at the fastest speed and release them. Although this structure is not as good as an extraordinary railgun, it is not much worse."
Steno muttered excitedly to himself, "If the suborbital gun had this kind of spiral crystal structure, the charging time would be greatly reduced, perhaps to less than half a minute."
He immediately uploaded the analysis structure to the train, and Chen An checked it immediately.
Chen An knew the entire principle and structure of the suborbital gun, and could understand Steno's idea at the first time.
"The biggest problem with the suborbital cannon is its half-hour charging time. If it were modified to this structure, there's a chance that time could be shortened to tens of seconds. Fuyao, we need to get one back as a sample."
[Fortress No. 7 is severely damaged and there is no train to explore]
"Okay, collect it now. Will it explode?"
[There is a risk of explosion]
"Cool it down first. Release as much energy as possible from the fortress. Don't damage the spiral crystal."
All in all, Chen An received two pieces of good news.
First, the performance of the suborbital gun has been qualitatively improved, and second, the spiral rail gun cannot be replicated.
He couldn't copy it, and neither could any other train.
If everyone could have a spiral rail gun, his suborbital gun would be embarrassing.
"Has the energy crystals on Levi Star been mined?"
[Collecting, but some situations are different from what was expected]
"What's the difference?"
[This mountain is not a place of energy crystal ore, but rather a temporary storage area. Analysis of the traces indicates that the storage time is less than half a month.]
[Combining all the information currently available, it is concluded that these energy crystals belong to General Beto's private property.]
"Where's Beto?"
[Died in the explosion, no other information]
…
Billions of kilometers away, more than fifty warships sailing at full speed finally slowed down.
Inside the flagship, Beto leaned back in his seat and gasped for breath, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Damn, those trains were really badass. They blew the fortress and the starport to pieces."
It hurts to think about it. Every time the empire builds a fortress, it consumes resources from several planets, which is ridiculously expensive.
