After entering the control room, Ma Hao quickly directed the staff to conduct the final adjustments.
He meticulously arranged every detail, setting up all the preparations, so all Li Yu needed to do was launch it.
At this moment, he no longer cared about why the Thunder Bureau had invited Li Yu.
Ma Hao now has only one thought in his mind: to make that group of Fire-Speaking Clan disappear completely!
Suddenly, a staff member reported loudly:
"Temperature preheating complete."
"Charging complete," another staff member called out.
"High-energy shells are loaded."
"The orbital acceleration device has been activated."
Staff members reported one after another.
With their cooperation, all parameters were adjusted to their optimal state, and the green lights at the top of the large screen lit up one after another.
With the final step complete—target locked—once the pulse cannon fires, it unleashes devastating power.
Only then did Ma Hao feel a little relieved. He walked over and guided Li Yu to stand in front of the control lever, explaining in detail:
"The pulse cannon is almost ready. All you need to do is pull the lever to charge the energy, and then press the red button on your thumb to fire."
Li Yu was still unsure, as he couldn't be sure if his special ability would work on such a behemoth.
Under Ma Hao's guidance, Li Yu slowly reached out and gently placed her hand on the control lever.
In an instant, the vortex within Li Yu's body spun wildly, and energy spread out from his body like ripples, instantly enveloping the entire massive pulse cannon.
[Equipment Successfully]
[Annihilation Pulse Cannon LV5: Pulse Beam Materialization +50, Energy Ripple Spread +50, Particle Scattering Effect +50, 100% Hit Rate]
[After firing, a semi-transparent energy beam is formed, leaving a 3-second energy afterimage along the trajectory. The beam color can be changed according to the pulse frequency.]
[Unlock Feature: Dynamic Lighting and Shadow Effects]
[Dynamic lighting and shadow effects: Launch is accompanied by more intense light effects and more immersive sound effects, enhancing the battlefield atmosphere and boosting morale.]
"Equipment successfully!"
Li Yu glanced at it and couldn't help but mentally complain:
"But what kind of nonsense is this..."
And this inexplicable new feature—if he hadn't looked closely, he wouldn't have noticed any difference between it and the previous giant cannon's capabilities.
However, one thing is certain: the successful installation of this massive pulse cannon was truly beyond his expectations.
Seeing Li Yu suddenly freeze, Ma Hao quickly asked:
"How is it? Can you move the lever?"
"No problem," Li Yu replied casually.
Li Yu glanced at the large screen in front of him, which accurately displayed the pulse cannon's attack range and target location.
Li Yu looked up at the glass and followed the direction the pulse cannon was aiming at; the aiming circle in his eyes immediately locked onto the enemy.
'Not bad, the target isn't far away,' Li Yu thought to himself.
He hadn't expected the Thunder Bureau to build pulse cannons right in front of the enemy; this tactical arrangement was truly novel.
As all the green lights at the top of the screen lit up, a staff member excitedly stood up:
"Report! Everything is ready, pulse cannon can fire!"
"Okay." Ma Hao turned to look at Li Yu, his eyes filled with eagerness and anticipation.
"Li Yu, are you ready?"
Li Yu nodded slightly, and upon seeing this, Ma Hao immediately shouted:
"All personnel prepare, countdown to fire begins!"
"Five, four, three..."
As Ma Hao counted down, the atmosphere in the control room froze instantly. All the staff held their breath, their eyes fixed on Li Yu in front of the control lever, and the recorder in charge of video recording immediately zoomed in.
"Two, one!"
After Ma Hao finished reading, Li Yu pulled the lever forcefully.
"Buzz".
A deep, suppressed hum emanated from the pulse cannon beneath their feet, as countless currents and energies converged wildly within the barrel.
"Buzz—"
Immediately afterwards, another buzzing sound rang out, and the sound began to change, with the pitch gradually rising and the rhythm becoming more rapid.
"Buzz—"
The booming of the cannons grew louder and louder, like surging waves crashing against the shore.
There was also a roaring sound from the transformer overload, accompanied by a high-frequency current hum.
At this moment, everyone at the Xiling base outside was attracted by the strong commotion and stood still, looking up at the giant pulse cannon high up in the base.
Countless arcs of electricity could be seen weaving through the cannon barrel, the eerie blue light growing ever brighter.
Some of them had been working here for several years and had never seen a pulse cannon firing live ammunition before. They were all deeply shocked by the sight and sound before them.
When the buzzing sound reached its peak, the pulse cannon had fully charged up.
Without needing Ma Hao's reminder, Li Yu knew it was time and immediately pressed the button with her thumb.
Then, everything spiraled out of control.
The previously stable energy transmission trajectory suddenly twisted, and the light bursting from the muzzle changed from dark blue to blazing white, as if a miniature sun was born in the cannon barrel.
"Beep—! Beep—!"
A sharp red alarm suddenly blared throughout the control room.
"Insufficient energy!" a staff member shouted anxiously, staring intently at the screen.
"The energy is depleted, this is an emergency alert!" another staff member exclaimed.
"Activate the backup power immediately," Ma Hao ordered loudly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
You have to know that a pulse cannon exploding can be fatal, especially since he's standing right above it. If he makes even the slightest mistake, he'll be reduced to ashes.
The staff in the control room frantically tried to start the backup power supply; it was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
But they had checked several times, and the energy was definitely full! How could it suddenly run out?
At this moment, the energy at the outside pulse cannon muzzle is still gathering continuously, and the current is surging like a raging dragon.
The frequency of the cannon's vibrations increased, even causing the massive metal structure of the entire base to groan under the strain.
"Click..."
In an instant, the entire Creek Ridge base lost all power and went dark.
All the power was also concentrated in the pulse cannon, and the energy beam from the muzzle was like a powerful searchlight, illuminating the entire base.
Ma Hao stared wide-eyed outwards, but was blinded by the glaring light and instinctively took two steps back.
"Is this...is this still my pulse cannon?"
Ma Hao was somewhat incredulous. Thinking about the target of this pulse cannon, he muttered to himself:
"Isn't it a bit much to use this kind of power to annihilate a mere Fire-Speaker?!"
The next second—
";boom--!!!!";
The pulse cannon fired instantly, plunging the world into darkness.
