Chapter 651 - 312: Curse of the Light Blade, Unlocking the Town-level Battleship Structure
Seeing the old secret room in front of him, with the changes in the precise mechanical structure, Lin Feng was stunned, and four words immediately came to his mind:
Curse of the Light Blade!
The most powerful weapon on the Oasis Battleship, and only by cruising the edges of the Blazing Sun Zone can it exert its maximum destructive power.
Utilizing the hot light source from the Blazing Sun Zone behind to perform light convergence reflection, achieving instantaneous strikes at close range.
This is a weapon with almost no drawbacks; the only disadvantage is that its damage diminishes with distance, unable to perform high-damage outputs at long range.
But now Oasis Town was about to enter the mountains, the Desert Wolf Race was only separated from the Oasis Battleship by a mountain of five or six hundred meters...
And such a close distance is when the Curse of the Light Blade plays its crucial role!
Unlike the previously triumphant super firepower, the two 200mm caliber battleship heavy cannons at the bow seemed clumsy under such close threat.
The 155mm grenade cannons on both sides could only provide long-range suppression, and once the Wolf Race army crossed over the mountain, at four or five hundred meters distance, the grenade cannons’ power could not be fully exerted.
At the same time, the kill range wide to a hundred meters can easily affect nearby townsfolk.
And most importantly, the intense explosion impact could cause landslides, rocks plummeting, thus destroying Oasis Avenue and eventually entangling the Oasis Battleship’s advancement.
In this situation, a weapon with minimal terrain alteration, capable of quick and precise strikes, and with adequate damage is needed.
And fitting these characteristics is another big killer equipped on the Oasis Battleship, also the one with the highest damage.
As Lord Bishop activated the Curse of the Light Blade module,
On the Moonlight Garden located in the Upper District at the tail of the battleship, the enormous lens with a diameter of over ten meters began to slowly stand upright from its former horizontal position, much like the Moonlit Ceremony on Holy Spring Day, starting to gather the radiant energy emitted from the Blazing Sun Zone behind.
At the same time, broadcasts across the Upper District started playing warnings, instructing all the Upper Class to stay in their bedrooms, tightly shut doors and windows, and avoid exposure to outside light sources.
During Holy Spring Day, the photovoltaic panels on the dome of the Upper District would retract, covering the top glass to create an artificial night, and with the erected lens, it resembles a jade moon rising in the night.
However, now for the Oasis Battleship to proceed at full power and maximum speed, the photovoltaic panels must be fully deployed to continuously supply electricity to the six ten-thousand-ton thrust turbines.
Otherwise, relying solely on battery-stored energy is not enough to make this tens of thousands of tons of steel giant beast gallop at more than five kilometers per hour for five to six hours straight.
And without enclosing the Upper District’s top space, initiating the lens for light gathering will fill the entire Upper District with energy comparable to the curse energy on the edge of the Blazing Sun Zone within seconds.
Such a high energy density means that humans in the Enhancement Stage can be invaded by the Scorching Sun with slight exposure or direct gaze.
Evolvers, though somewhat resistant, cannot withstand prolonged exposure to such intense sunlight.
After issuing the warning for the Upper Class to hide at home, the light source gathered by the giant lens gradually focused within the Upper District.
The temperature in the entire Upper District instantly rose from a comfortable range of twenty-four or five degrees to over thirty degrees.
The converged beam of light, almost tangible, shone in the middle attic of the three towering towers behind the Great Cathedral, also the place where the Moonlit Ceremony is conducted.
Selected Sacrificial Offerers record the signs of Fiery Sun Storms and Yang Nie from the Blazing Sun Zone using their flesh.
At this moment, a thick lens was erected in the attic, splitting the gathered light source into three.
One beam continued to shoot toward the rear along the original path, illuminating the wasteland outside the battleship.
The other two beams respectively shot towards the remaining two attics on the left and right, reflecting through placed lenses to the sky above.
Meanwhile, in the secret room directly below, Lord Bishop could monitor the distant garden and use a telescope to observe the surrounding wasteland.
At the same time, he determined the point where the direct light was aiming and adjusted the angle to ensure precise target tracking for swift strikes afterward.
Lin Feng recalled when exploring the Oasis Battleship’s structure, finding an underground secret room just like the one in front of him, beneath the Moonlight Garden.
However, that was the control room for the Light-Gathering Lens, used to adjust the intensity of the Fiery Sun Energy entry point, not the actual control room for the Curse of the Light Blade.
What truly controls the strike is the control platform under the command of Lord Bishop, right in this seemingly unremarkable secret room.
No wonder Bishop Zhang Hui had been staying here all along.
While Lin Feng sighed, a piece of information appeared in the corner of his eye:
"Town-level Battleship - Internal structure of Oasis fully explored and scanned, generating 3D template, available for future vehicle upgrades to emulate."
Immediately below this information, the Oasis Battleship’s attribute information popped up:
"Town-level Battleship Level 30/39, Golden Items"
"Basic Attributes: Defense 1500, Damage 1000; Average Speed 10 km/h, Maximum Speed 30 km/h, Endurance Limit 500 km; Durability: 8/10; This item level far exceeds the host’s Evolution Level, currently unupgradeable and unbrandable."
"Extra Attributes: Boating on Land, Steel Body, Remote Monitoring, Super Firepower, Curse of the Light Blade"
"Boating on Land: Equipped with six super electric turbines, each capable of driving tens of thousands of tons of weight forward, enough to make the town-level battleship, weighing tens of thousands of tons, navigate the wasteland desert."
