The sound wasn't loud, but Afu and Ashou, who were several kilometers away, immediately perked up their ears and then ran quickly toward Lin Ruo.
Within minutes, two enormous figures appeared in Lin Ruo's field of vision. Lin Ruo jumped onto Afu's back and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to test the crystal energy cannon."
Lin Ruo followed Afu and Ashou all the way, and along the way she used her mental power to scan the crystal energy cannon in the space. The crystal energy cannon was made entirely of underground minerals. The base was three meters square, the cannon barrel was 5 meters long and 30 centimeters in diameter, with smooth lines, and there was also a layer of metal condensed by metal ability users on the outside.
It was very beautiful in appearance. Lin Ruo had only seen this thing from afar in her previous life and had never used it. After scanning it with her mental power, she found the location where the crystal core was placed. There was a hidden clasp on the base. After opening the clasp, there was a 20-centimeter square container inside. The crystal core should be placed here.
To ensure Lin Ruo wouldn't be unable to use it, the B City base provided her with an operation manual. To make it easy for Lin Ruo to understand, the lab staff thoughtfully simplified the instructions as much as possible.
At the rear of the crystal energy cannon, there is a row of sensors, as well as two separate launch devices. Since satellites are not currently available, the laboratory uses a different set of sensors, so the launch devices cannot be used too far from the crystal energy cannon. The operation manual provides detailed explanations on how to operate them.
Lin Ruo took out the dozen or so pages of operation manual and looked at them carefully. Meanwhile, in order not to disturb Lin Ruo, A Fu and A Shou had A Shou quickly deal with any mutated beasts they encountered on the way.
They soon found an open space with fewer mutated plants. They had reached the eastern coast of Yanshan Mountain, far from Lin Ruo's mountain peak.
The mutated sea beasts beneath the water sensed the presence of powerful mutated beasts on the shore and immediately surfaced, charging towards Afu and Ashou.
Afu and Ashou arched their backs, bared their teeth at the mutated sea beasts, and made whimpering sounds to warn them not to come closer.
As soon as the sea monsters approached, they pounced, their sharp claws piercing the sea monsters' bodies, leaving bloody furrows, and the stench of blood quickly filled the air.
Lin Ruo jumped off Afu's back and eagerly followed the operating instructions to fill the crystal energy cannon with crystal cores in the space. All of them were level 3 crystal cores. The higher the level of the crystal cores used, the more light bullets the crystal energy cannon could fire.
Then, the charging button on the corresponding launcher was pressed, and the entire energy bar of the crystal cannon quickly lit up, now at full capacity.
She quickly took out the fully charged crystal cannon, pointing the dark muzzle at the charging mutated sea beasts. Seeing the sea beasts getting closer and closer, Lin Ruo pressed the fire button without hesitation, while simultaneously erecting more than a dozen solid ice shields for herself and Afu and Ashou to prevent them from being injured.
A light bullet, nearly thirty centimeters in diameter, was fired from the muzzle of the crystal energy cannon. Lin Ruo observed with his mental power that the light bullet was about three meters long. It shot rapidly toward the mutated sea beasts, quickly landing in the center of the sea beasts and exploding in the water 5 kilometers from the shore. "Boom!"
The massive explosion created waves tens of meters high, rolling and overwhelming. The center of the blast radius was nearly ten kilometers, and the waves continued to spread outwards. Even the underwater soil was swept into the air by the waves. The carcasses of the sea monsters were also blown into pieces, which were swept into the air by the waves before falling back onto the water.
The sea was littered with corpses and severed limbs, and large patches of blood were splashing in the waves.
The fact that Lin Ruo and the others' ice shields were not damaged means that the explosive power of the crystal energy cannon was effective within a ten-kilometer radius.
She used her mental energy to carefully scan the remains. Among the mutated sea beasts that had been killed, several were level 3 mutated beasts. This crystal energy cannon could instantly kill level 3 mutated beasts on a large scale and also cause great damage to higher-level mutated beasts. This crystal energy cannon was indeed powerful.
Having determined the power and blast radius of the crystal energy cannon, she had a clear idea of its capabilities. However, once she used it, the location of her residence would be exposed, as would the mutated plants and animals surrounding her mountain.
I need to go back and think carefully about how to adjust the range of such a powerful weapon to minimize the damage to the mountain.
She quickly deployed her spatial domain, retrieving the crystal cores and remains of the mutated sea beasts that had been blown up. Not wanting to waste them, she then put away the crystal energy cannon and followed Afu and Ashou, running rapidly towards the fortress.
But she had no idea how much horror her shot had caused on the main peak.
The huge explosion startled all the mutated animals in the vicinity, and they all quickly ran up the mountain. They thought that another mutated sea monster had come ashore, just like the last time the sea monster came ashore!
The survivors at Qiyuan Base and B City Base also stopped what they were doing and turned to look in the direction of the explosion. What exactly happened?
Knowing the inside story, Ye Lin and the others had some idea of the reason. The crystal energy cannon they developed had naturally been tested in other places, and they were familiar with the sound of the crystal energy cannon exploding. The explosion of the light bullet was not quite the same as the explosion of the missile, and the sound was not as deep. They had heard it a few times and naturally remembered it.
Moreover, Lin Ruo had just taken the crystal energy cannon back when the explosion occurred, so she must have been testing the power of the crystal energy cannon.
Jiang Yue clicked his tongue, "Sister Ruo is indeed a big spender. This crystal energy cannon consumes more than a dozen level 1 crystal cores every time it is used, and she just threw it away like that."
Chen Yu stood by the window, his gaze fixed on the spot where the loud noise had just occurred. "She'll have to test it to see if it works properly. What if we gave her a defective product?"
