Chapter 652 - 312: Curse of the Light Blade, Unlocking Town-level Battleship Structure_2
"Steel Body: The entire battleship is built with high-strength alloy, with one-meter-thick alloy shells on both sides and bottom, providing 1,500 points of defense value, capable of resisting the damage of shells below 200mm, making it difficult for Tier Two Life Forms to cause damage from the sides."
"Remote Monitoring: Equipped with various sensing components, capable of achieving a direct observation distance of twenty kilometers, locking onto targets larger than two meters in size, and detecting Tier Two and above evolutionary life forms within twenty kilometers."
"Super Firepower: Two 200mm battleship heavy cannons are equipped on both sides below the bow of the town-level battleship, with a base damage of 1,000, a maximum range of twenty kilometers, a firing rate of five rounds per minute, and a supply of twenty shells; on both sides of the battleship, five 150mm grenade cannons are equipped, each with a base damage of 400, firing rate of ten rounds per minute, maximum range of ten kilometers, and a hundred shells per cannon."
"Curse of the Light Blade: A phenomenological weapon mastered by the Oasis Battleship, capable of gathering scorching sunlight through the church on the bow, and emitting a scorching high-energy beam, achieving light-speed strike that even a Tier Three King finds hard to evade or escape; damage of the Curse of the Light Blade decreases with distance, with no damage drop within five kilometers, heating up 1,000 degrees per second, dealing 1,000 damage; within ten kilometers, heating up 500 degrees per second, dealing 500 damage; within twenty kilometers, heating up 200 degrees per second, dealing 200 damage; firing rate of one shot every two minutes, sustaining ten seconds of illumination strike, cooldown over one and a half minutes, also can switch to quick strike mode, each lasting one-second illumination, with firing rate increased to one shot every ten seconds."
"Note: This equipment bears the Brand of the Master of the Holy Spring, and mastering the Oasis Key can only result in temporary control; branding is not possible before evolving to the Third Stage."
"Note: This town-level battleship lacks sufficient power energy supply, only capable of exerting 30% of its original performance at the highest, and due to the absence of a power furnace, operation at full status will rapidly increase wear and consume durability."
"Note: Finding a matching power furnace can awaken the full potential of the battleship."
"Evaluation: This is a battle-worn battleship, with core technology derived from alien technology heritage, but the core power section of the battleship is already lost. Do not underestimate it; this is the foundation of a city-state of ten thousand people, a moving giant steel beast. Mastering it is the beginning of establishing a royal city hegemony!"
The attributes listed this time are obviously more detailed than the last, especially the description of the Curse of the Light Blade, fully displaying the characteristics of this phenomenological weapon.
Within five kilometers, a minimum damage of 1,000 per second, able to last up to ten seconds, could accumulate a massive 10,000 damage, all the while heating the target by 10,000 degrees.
Let alone the Tao Steel of the Rock Horse Giant Beasts, no material could withstand such a terrifying high temperature.
And other Desert Giant Beasts, like the Giant Wolves with iron armor, simply cannot withstand this destructive light beam strike. Even the Steel Giants of humanity and war fortresses struggle to resist thousands of degrees of high temperature.
However, humans still have weapons with even longer strike distances, so battleships cannot engage in close-range cannon duels.
And at the end of the town-level battleship’s attribute list, the requirements for upgrading have already been marked:
"Material list required to build a Level 30 town-level battleship:
points of Life Value
A vehicle of Level 29 as the foundation
Thirty thousand tons of alloy steel, one hundred tons of metallic copper
A Tier Three Early-stage grade core power furnace, or six large electric drive machines with a thrust of ten thousand tons each"
"Optional Attributes: Remote Monitoring (requires long-focal distance cameras and life detection radar); Super Firepower (can be equipped with upgraded armor-piercing cannons or rapid fire cannon); Curse of the Light Blade (requires a large integrated lens, sufficient light source acquisition)"
After scanning the list of requirements, Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly; indeed, a super battleship is not so easily formed.
It seems that simply consuming Life Value won’t suffice to upgrade a Level 29 vehicle to a Third Stage Level 30 town-level battleship.
Moreover, these materials, whether metal or power machines, even Oasis Town cannot gather them. Only by heading to the Holy City and relying on the massive market of a million population can the basic materials be collected.
Also, there are other required materials for the optional extra attributes.
At this moment, Lord Bishop has already entered a state of full concentration with his last bit of energy.
Although his body is close to exhaustion, his consciousness is exceptionally clear under the stimulation of Tier Three Holy Spring Water.
The aura he emits is roughly around Tier Three Early-stage; besides being unable to directly engage in combat, observing, patrolling, and pressing buttons for attacks can still be easily accomplished.
Moreover, currently in Oasis Town, no one is more suitable than him to act as the operator of the Curse of the Light Blade.
After obtaining what he wanted, Lin Feng immediately stowed the "Holy Spring Sect" in his hand, completely wrapping it with gray cloth beside him to avoid being seen by outsiders.
Then he left the secret chamber, heading down from the Church District, departing from the Oasis Battleship.
Arriving near Holy Spring Village, Lin Feng felt the blazing light from the rear of the battleship, the light source from the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area continuously streaming through the lens and into the top layer of the Upper District of the battleship.
Beside Holy Spring Village, at the convoy camp, a group of Evolvers in the same gray robe, with delicate and fair faces, were curiously looking around.
These were the hundred Upper Class spots promised by Lord Bishop, granted to Lin Feng.
At this moment, among the hundred Upper Class, except for the children of principal person Rong Yan, who did not wear Death Collars, the others were wearing that silver electronic collar, like slave collars representing their identity, also imprisoning their freedom.
At the forefront of the crowd, Rong Yan was handing over the prepared list to Ding Yi.
At this time, Ding Yi was already the third figure in the camp, apart from Leader Lin Feng and Deputy Leader Chen Shanshan, in charge of logistics and personnel arrangement.
In terms of combat, it was taken care of by Ah Lian and Ma Chenfeng.
After Lin Feng arrived at the camp, Rong Yan and Ding Yi came over, simply reporting the situation:
"Father Su An left after bringing the people, and the remaining eighteen spots were chosen as per your request, selecting eighteen Mid-Tier One Upper Class."
"Most of them are women, easier to sell, priced slightly higher than other Evolver slaves."
"This batch has been arranged in the transport vehicles, and once we reach the Holy City, I’ll accompany you to the slave market, and we can also check for other needs."
"The slave market not only sells slaves for service but also has many technical talents, such as machinery maintenance and experienced Hunters."
Lin Feng nodded and looked at the people behind him.
When they saw the young Tier Two Evolvers before them, they all closed their mouths, watching intently with nervous expressions.
"According to the previous plan, let them first do logistical tasks, such as transporting ammunition to the combat team and collecting Evolved Desolate Wolf corpses after battles."
"Next, the Oasis Battleship will advance at a speed of over one meter per second, roughly four to five kilometers per hour, striving to break through from the mountainous path ahead."
"We’ll need to deploy vehicles in time to collect the corpses of the Evolved Desolate Wolves we kill."
As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at the Upper Class crowd:
"You, although released from the confinement of the Upper District, have also lost your Upper Class status, awarded to me by the Church as a reward, becoming my slaves."
"But I am rather open-minded and decided to give you a chance to escape the status of a slave."
"In the upcoming battle, any errors and mistakes will lead you to be treated like other Upper Class, sold as slaves to those in need, while those who show achievements, like braving danger to collect more Evolved Desolate Wolf corpses, I shall reward by elevating you to be regular members of the convoy, enjoying equal treatment!"
"Now, all of you prepare, follow the arrangements, and head to each fire point for connection!"
After speaking, Lin Feng looked at the two women behind him:
"Rong Yan, you temporarily assist Ding Yi in managing the entire convoy."
"Also, the Hunting Wilderness Guild from Fifth Village will come seeking Empowerment Shells, first sell them a batch at market price, using Evolved Desolate Wolf corpses for exchange."
The two women nodded.
Lin Feng then returned to the Desert Wolf Battle Car, donned his repaired Branded Armor, and replaced the fully charged battery.
The fully armed Chen Shanshan was planning to go along but was refused by Lin Feng:
"The convoy camp can’t afford an incident, and I’m worried someone might target Li Hao’s corpse."
"Especially Wolf Ao."
"You stay here; with the Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear, you can threaten Wolf Ao in his injured state and also protect the convoy."
Having said that, without waiting for Chen Shanshan to respond, he lifted another Level 26 Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear and headed to the open space in front of Holy Spring Village.
To meet with Xu Wanfeng and Han Tao.
