"boom!"
Another cannonball hit the armor, but this time the cannonball was completely different from the previous one.
The cannonball was engraved with dense runes, and the moment it collided with the armor, all the runes lit up instantly.
The scorching white flames spread rapidly around, melting a large piece of iron armor.
Even the wooden hull behind the armor was on fire.
"What kind of cannonball is this...?" Zhu Ping's eyes suddenly widened.
"The latest masterpiece of the Institute of Psionics of the Academy of Sciences, high-fusion talisman shells."
"The cost of each one is 200,000 treasure notes." Chang Yuchun explained with a grin, especially the last sentence, his tone was obviously much more solemn.
This shell is basically his salary for two years.
Opposite him, a round of artillery fire set the opponent's three ironclad ships on fire at the same time.
Moreover, this fire is still a spiritual fire and cannot be extinguished before the spiritual energy is exhausted.
"Surround us, we have more warships, use more to fight against fewer, they are no match!" Mond saw that the fire of the three armored ships with the most hits could no longer be contained, and he immediately screamed for the semaphore officer to give the order.
As a naval marshal, he led Britain to colonize the world and fought in wars for most of his life. He had never encountered such a situation.
When facing the enemy, the British Empire has always been overwhelmed by technology. When did it happen that artillery shells could not break the enemy's defense, but were stunned by a round of artillery fire from the opponent!
At this moment, he finally realized what dimensionality reduction was called.
In the past, they used industry to fight agriculture, and it was so exciting when they were conquering the world, but now they are so miserable.
"Send the order, the fleet will focus on firing, and strive to sink more enemy ships and cause effective damage to the enemy!"
Chang Yuchun quickly gave orders, then turned his head to look at the thirty people behind him.
"see it?"
"That's their main ship!"
Chang Yuchun pointed at the enemy's largest armored ship in the distance and ordered in a deep voice: "As long as we can capture him, we will win this battle."
"When the time comes, you will be the main contributors to this battle!"
"When I get back, I will ask for credit from Your Majesty on your behalf!"
"Commander, this is our first time carving this psychic talisman array, so we can't guarantee that it will actually work!"
"And there is only one chance, just in case...!" A middle-aged man who looked like the leader among the more than 30 people said, sweating profusely.
"Nothing unexpected!" Chang Yuchun interrupted the middle-aged man directly.
"You just need to remember that without this shot, even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory, and there is even a high probability of defeat. As long as your shot is successful, it can at least save the lives of tens of thousands of our navy's men. Do you understand? ?" Chang Yuchun said in a deep voice.
"Commander, I understand!"
"My son is also in the navy, so... I will definitely succeed!" The middle-aged man took a deep breath, his eyes unusually firm at this moment.
More than thirty of them are all from the Institute of Psionics of the Academy of Sciences, and they are all senior immortal cultivators who have opened up the Qi Sea.
His name is Xu Yuan. The Qi Sea was opened on its own initiative ten years ago, and then he was discovered by Jin Yiwei and recruited into the Academy of Sciences.
He loved this job and worked there for ten years.
At the moment they are debugging a cannon.
In other words, it should be more accurately called a magic weapon.
This magical weapon was the first psychic weapon designed by him. It was a brand-new magical weapon that was conceived by drawing on the artillery skills of the Qi warriors in Base No. 1 and the Western Yi people.
This kind of magic weapon has many shortcomings, such as the preparation time is too long and it requires nearly half an hour of debugging.
The consumption of spiritual power is terrifying, not only does it require a large number of spirit gathering arrays, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but it also requires the joint efforts of many immortal cultivators to activate it.
Cannot be reused.
After one use, all the psychic materials and spirit-gathering arrays will be scrapped, making it a gold-swallowing behemoth.
But no amount of shortcomings can cover up his only advantage.
That's its power.
Although it has not been tested, theoretically speaking, the power of this cannon is far greater than any other artillery today. No matter who is standing in front of him, there is only one result.
Killed instantly.
When the design plan for this magical weapon was submitted, Zhu Yuanzhang only read the introduction once and immediately decided to research this thing no matter how much money was spent.
Because he could tell at a glance that this thing had the ability to influence the direction of a war.
This can be called a strategic weapon.
"Commander, God Killer No. 1 has been fully debugged and can be launched at any time!" Xu Yuan's voice finally came from behind.
Chang Yuchun locked his eyes on the enemy's main ship. At this moment, the distance between the two sides was only three or four miles away, and the opponent's shells had basically reached the hull.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Launch!"
"Target locked!"
"The countdown begins!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"emission!"
Xu Yuan roared.
He and more than thirty colleagues behind him began to mobilize the spiritual energy in the sea of qi at the same time, and frantically input it into the magic weapon in front of him.
Countless spirit gathering arrays were activated, and a large amount of spiritual energy was consumed, quickly converted into heat energy, and gathered together.
The magic weapon began to glow, and gradually the light became more and more dazzling.
It was as if a small sun suddenly rose above the sea.
"What is that?" On the British main ship, Mond immediately noticed something strange on the Hero.
He immediately thought of the top-secret report on the last tragic defeat of the British army.
The two giant ships of the opponent suddenly appeared and blocked the navy.
To be honest, it was those two large ships that were the most critical factor in the failure of the British naval battle.
After the war, many British researchers made a lot of research reports on this, and finally determined that it should be a supernatural phenomenon.
This shocked the whole of Britain.
To be honest, although it has been nearly a hundred years since the magic element broke out in this world, the magic element is too restrictive, and there is no better use other than mass production of vampires and magic wolves.
And cold, murderous supernatural creatures like vampires are feared by most people in power.
Therefore, the extraordinary power of this world has actually been suppressed since its emergence, and has little impact on the course of history.
after the first industrial revolution.
Britain's emphasis on the extraordinary has begun to decline again. Compared with those cold and difficult-to-control extraordinary creatures, it is obvious that strong ships and cannons are the best weapons to conquer this world.
If it continues to develop in this direction, perhaps in a few hundred years, the only use of demonic energy will be to provide the possibility of immortality for those powerful old guys who don't want to die.
But the last Sino-British naval battle obviously increased the importance of demonic elements in all countries around the world, and made countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, pick up the research on demonic elements.
The last time the British experimented with the immortality potion in Japan was one of the results.
But no matter how much research is done, the properties of the demonic element are dark and light-phobic, and it can only be effective on living things.
This is common sense.
And what are these people on the other side doing now?
Could they use the magic element to create a small sun?
How can this be!
It completely goes against common sense and is unscientific!
Mond was mumbling to himself.
He is praying.
Pray that the other party is just bluffing, and pray that God will allow himself to punish the faithless country on the other side.
"Boom!" However, the next moment, he knew that his prayer was not heard by God.
A beam of light suddenly shot directly from the Hero, and Mond, who was so fast, had no time to blink.
The hot light quickly magnified in his eyes until it completely annihilated him.
The main ship of the Eight-Power Allied Forces was directly hit by a beam of light. A huge hole appeared on the hull, and seawater gurgled into it.
Chang Yuchun, who was on the main ship of the Hero, saw all this more clearly.
This beam of light not only penetrated the main coalition ship, but also penetrated two more warships in the series before it was completely exhausted.
"Is this the power of a cultivator?"
"It's so terrifying!" Chang Yuchun muttered to himself.
"Success!"
"We succeeded!" Xu Yuan also saw the power of this luminous pillar, and he stood up suddenly and shouted.
Although he could no longer exert any strength at this moment, and the spiritual energy in his body was completely drained, at this moment he felt that he owned the whole world.
"Plop!" Just after he cheered twice, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Like him, half of the more than thirty scientific researchers fainted after seeing the task completed.
"It's okay, they just ran out of spiritual power!"
"You'll wake up after a short rest!" the ship's military doctor said.
"Then let these heroes go back to the cabin to rest!"
"Leave it to us next!" Chang Yuchun turned his head and looked at the fleet of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces in the distance, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Proceed as planned."
"Hit me, hit me hard!"
Following Chang Yuchun's order, more than seventy Ming warships began to change their formations, concentrating their strength to blast in one direction of the opponent's encirclement.
The Eight-Nation Allied Forces fleet, which had just been destroyed by the luminous pillar and had its command center destroyed, was now in complete chaos.
Such an attack, which was like a punishment from heaven, caused many soldiers to lose their fighting spirit immediately.
Nearly half of the battleships chose to escape.
The fighting lasted for three days and three nights.
In fact, the next two and a half days cannot be called a battle, they should be called a chase.
The Ming Dynasty's navy pursued the opponent from the Taiwan Strait into the South China Sea, and sank more than fifty of the opponent's armored ships before giving up.
"If all battleships are powered by psychic energy, I can annihilate all these ghosts!"
"Now I can only watch them slip away, what a pity!" On the way back, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but sigh.
"This is impossible!"
"Commander Chang, according to the current level of spiritual energy recovery, it is impossible to support such a fleet!" Xu Yuan next to him poured cold water on his face seriously.
"I'm just thinking about it!"
"You researchers like to tell the truth."
Chang Yuchun looked at Xu Yuan and laughed again: "Old Xu, your god-killing bullet is the key to victory in this battle. Have you thought about what reward you want this time?"
