Chapter 380 Six-barreled Vulcan Cannon
After upgrading my engineering level to the fourth-level engineering master, I can finally start making six-barreled Vulcan cannons.
It has been some time since Zhang Shan obtained the construction drawings of the six-barrel Vulcan cannon.
Because his engineering level was not high enough, he had never started making it, but now he could finally start working on it.
Zhang Shan took out the materials for making a six-barrel Vulcan cannon from his backpack.
There are only more than a hundred copies in total, and the success rate of making engineering items for the first time is very low. He doesn't know what will happen after all the materials are consumed.
Can we successfully produce a six-barreled Vulcan cannon?
But I can't care about so much, just go for it first.
Zhang Shan placed a portion of material on the workbench and began to make it.
As expected , after a few seconds, the materials disappeared and the production failed.
It’s okay, come again.
Zhang Shan placed the materials one by one on the operating table. Repeated failures gave him a headache.
The materials used to make level 4 engineering items are not cheap.
Not to mention other materials, just each material requires a purple material, and the price is not low.
Although every purple boss will basically drop a purple material.
Moreover, there are many purple bosses and they refresh quickly. In the Tianmen Pass map, they can be found everywhere.
In addition to the boss dropping purple materials, there are other ways to get materials.
But this does not mean that purple materials will be cheap.
After all, purple materials are dropped by bosses, and all life professions will use them, so the consumption is very large.
No one will sell purple materials cheaply.
Currently, the price of purple materials is almost stable at four to five hundred gold coins each.
This price doesn't seem expensive, but you have to consider how much you will need.
One or two are nothing.
But if you use hundreds of them in a row, even a rich man like Zhang Shan would feel distressed.
In addition to the purple material, the other materials used to make the six-barrel Vulcan cannon are not cheap.
The most important thing is that some of the materials here have a very low output rate. Although they are not expensive, there is nowhere to buy them.
Zhang Shan also spent a long time collecting these more than 100 pieces of materials at the auction house.
Now that he has consumed dozens of materials in succession, he still hasn't even seen the shadow of the six-barrel Vulcan cannon.
One failure means thousands of gold coins are wasted, and this has happened dozens of times in a row.
Tens of thousands of gold coins were thrown out, but not even a splash was made.
Zhang Shan felt a little numb.
But there is no way around it, life and work are just so difficult when learning a new drawing.
Only after experiencing countless failures can you succeed.
If you succeed once, subsequent productions will be much easier, although there will be failures.
But such a failure rate is completely acceptable.
The main thing is that it is very difficult to succeed in the first production. Zhang Shan’s previous new drawings also consumed hundreds of materials each time before they were successful.
It’s just that the materials used before were relatively cheaper, so he didn’t care much about it.
But it’s not possible now. As the level of engineering increases, the materials become more and more expensive.
But it is still so difficult to successfully produce the first product.
Zhang Shan was a little speechless.
The life professions in this game are really not that easy to handle.
He also didn't know whether there were any specialized survival players, and if so, he didn't know how they survived.
Why does he feel that the investment and return are not proportional?
Looking at the backpack, there were less than thirty pieces of materials for the six-barrel Vulcan cannon left.
Zhang Shan gritted his teeth and continued to put materials on the operating table.
He just couldn't believe that he could use up all the materials and still not be able to make a product.
If all else fails, he will go to the auction house to buy materials.
Although Zhang Shan only collected more than one hundred pieces of materials for the six-barrel Vulcan cannon.
But this does not mean that there is nothing to sell at the auction house.
In fact, there are a lot of materials in the auction house, but the prices of many materials are very expensive.
He didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he only bought items with reasonable prices, and ignored the goods from unscrupulous merchants.
He would never touch it.
But it seems that this time it won’t work, the materials may not be enough.
There is no other way. We have to buy the expensive materials. We can't just give up halfway.
If you want to make a six-barrel Vulcan cannon, you have to invest money.
Zhang Shan continued to place the materials on the workbench until only the last two portions were left.
A bright light flashed on the operating table.
Not long after, the light dissipated, and a super mini cannon appeared on the operating table.
Haha, he finally succeeded in making one, and it was worth spending so much materials on it.
Zhang Shan took the mini cannon off the operating table and examined it carefully.
He looked at the mini six-barreled Vulcan cannon in his hand and felt very surprised.
Can such a palm-sized thing be considered a city defense weapon?
This isn't a fucking model, is it?
But he didn't take it too seriously. It was a game, and anything was possible.
Just look at the properties of the item; the appearance and size are not important.
View properties:
Six-barreled Vulcan Cannon: One-star city defense device, attack power of 50,000, range of 100 yards, health of 1 million, attack interval of 0.5 seconds, takes effect when placed in the player's city.
The description of this six-barreled Vulcan cannon is similar to that on the blueprint, with an attack power of 50,000 and a range of 100 yards, unchanged.
However, after the finished product was made, an extra sentence was added at the end, and it would take effect when placed in the player's city.
When Zhang Shan saw this sentence, he understood something.
In the new world, players can also build cities, but no one knows how to build a city specifically.
But Zhang Shan and his team might be able to take a shortcut and build the city.
That is to seize the demon clan's city and occupy their city. In that case, the demon clan castle should be considered a player's city.
There is only one word difference between castle and city, so there shouldn't be any problem.
I guess the castle is just smaller, but no matter what, a castle is also a city.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shan's heart was burning with excitement, and he was determined to snatch the demon castle.
Although I don’t know what benefits players will get after building a city.
But it’s never wrong to grab it.
Moreover, according to the mode of other games, after players occupy the city, they can build a teleportation array and generally collect taxes.
This demon castle might be too small, so it’s probably unrealistic to collect taxes, and not much can be collected.
But as long as there is a teleportation array, it will be fine.
As long as you open the teleportation array in this demon castle.
From now on, everyone can be teleported directly here through the teleportation array, and no longer have to do what he did before.
It takes three or four days to get there.
No wonder Zhang Shan thought before that the Tianmen Pass map was so big that players would not know what to do in the future?
You can't spend a few days running away before every monster hunt.
Now it seems that players should advance step by step through castles.
As the player level increases, push all the way to the other end of the Tianmen Pass map.
Zhang Shan looked at the six-barreled Vulcan cannon in his hand and liked it very much.
After seizing the demon clan’s castle, they placed it directly on the top of the city.
The Vulcan cannon has such powerful firepower, which is stronger than his own. The key is that its range can reach one hundred yards, which is extremely terrifying.
Use six-barreled Vulcan cannons to defend the city. With the current strength of the players, who can rush up?
Not to mention the players, even if they were monsters from the Demon Clan, they wouldn't be able to get through if they had a few more Vulcan cannons.
But it must be in large quantities. Zhang Shan has just made a six-barreled Vulcan cannon, but it is of little use. We need to increase the quantity.
As long as there are enough six-barreled Vulcan cannons, the city they occupy will be as stable as Mount Tai and no one can take it away.
Looking at the remaining two sets of materials in the backpack, I have to buy some more materials, no matter how high the price is, to make more Vulcan cannons.
Anyway, as long as the first product is made, the success rate of subsequent products will basically be very high, and not too much material will be wasted.
Especially after the proficiency level reaches 50 points, almost every production will be successful.
Zhang Shan teleported to the auction house and displayed the six-barrel Vulcan cannon on the team channel.
The comrades in the team are running towards the position of the scout captain Yu Fei, but they have just started and still have a long way to go.
"Damn, this Vulcan cannon made by Master Liuguan is awesome, but it's a pity that it can only be used to defend the city. If I could hold it in my hand and shoot, it would be invincible."
“Haha, not bad.”
Zhang Shan was also very happy. This Vulcan cannon was a good thing.
"That's too much. You actually want to hold it in your hand and shoot. Do you want to use the Vulcan cannon as a weapon? The problem is that you can't equip it."
"By the way, Brother Liuguan, is that Vulcan cannon really big? Is it like in the movies?"
"I don't know how big the real Vulcan cannon is, but the one I made is only the size of a palm."
"Nani, how can something the size of a palm defend a city? This is unscientific."
"Why bother so much? As long as the attributes are real, that's fine."
"It's probably just a model. It may take until it's placed in a defensive position to show the actual size of the Vulcan Cannon."
"I guess so."
"Woo, woo, woo. We just started running and looking at the finish line on the map, it seems so far away."
"Just run slowly, I'll go kill some monsters soon, hehe."
Zhang Shan spent a high price at the auction house to buy fifty more pieces of the six-barrel Vulcan cannon materials, which cost him nearly 100,000 gold coins.
I don’t know how many finished products I can make with these materials.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to buy more, but he can’t get more together.
Either this is missing or that is missing.
There are five kinds of materials required for the six-barrel Vulcan cannon, one of which is a special metal that is relatively rare.
There weren't many items for sale at the auction house, and after he had searched all the auction houses, he only managed to collect fifty pieces of material.
After purchasing the materials for the Vulcan cannon, Zhang Shan bought some primary incendiary bomb materials. He planned to make another batch of special bullets.
Although Zhang Shan's attack power is terribly high and his damage output is explosive, he does not lack output.
However, the primary incendiary bomb is still somewhat useful. At least the 500 burning damage per second is quite effective against bosses.
After purchasing the materials, Zhang Shan teleported to the guild headquarters and continued to make the six-barrel Vulcan cannon.
After the first success, it became much easier afterwards.
At the beginning, he had to fail several times before he could successfully make a Vulcan cannon.
When the proficiency level exceeds ten points, basically you can successfully produce a finished product after every two or three failures.
After all the materials were used up, Zhang Shan had a total of twelve Vulcan cannons in his backpack.
But what’s a bit strange is that the Vulcan cannon cannot be stacked together in the backpack like bullets.
But a Vulcan cannon will take up one backpack slot.
Fortunately, his backpack was big enough, with a thousand slots.
If you are like an ordinary player, you will only have a maximum of ninety-five backpack slots.
If I make a few more Vulcan cannons, my backpack might not be able to hold them all.
Maybe these Vulcan cannons are the same as equipment, which are items rather than consumables.
But Zhang Shan didn't have to worry about this. His backpack could hold enough space for hundreds of Vulcan cannons.
He can take them all away at once.
I guess he doesn't need so many Vulcan cannons, right?
If a city were to be filled with hundreds of Vulcans, it would be a bit scary and totally unnecessary.
It mainly depends on the size of the city. If the city is not big, place a Vulcan cannon every hundred yards.
In this way, no matter which direction the enemy attacks from, two Vulcan cannons can attack at the same time.
After all, the range of the Vulcan cannon is one hundred yards.
It shouldn't take many Vulcan cannons to defend a small castle. Perhaps his twelve Vulcan cannons would be enough.
After finishing the Vulcan cannon, Zhang Shan did not leave the guild workshop directly, but continued to make a batch of ordinary bullets and primary incendiary bombs.
Making bullets was very easy for him because his proficiency in both types of bullets had reached 100 points.
Almost never fails, always a success.
Not long after, Zhang Shan put away the bullets he had prepared, and then teleported to the Beast King Valley through the positioning bead.
Now that we are done, let’s continue killing monsters.
Zhang Shan was alone in the Beast King Valley killing monsters, while the other members of the team were still running away.
When he kills monsters alone, he may be able to do it even faster.
Before, Zhang Shan felt that leveling up in this game was damn difficult.
However, after acquiring the catapult skill, he felt that upgrading was not particularly difficult.
Zhang Shan felt that he was leveling up faster and faster now, much faster than when he was in his twenties.
When I was upgrading from level 29 to level 30, it took me almost half a friend to reach the level.
He is now level 42, but it only takes a few days to upgrade.
It is estimated that five days will be enough for him to upgrade.
The main reason is that he is too strong now. The tiger monster in the Beast King Valley has only more than 20,000 health points.
And his attack power actually exceeded 45,000, causing serious damage overflow.
It made him not want to kill monsters in Beast King Valley anymore.
But there is no other way now. It doesn’t matter where you go to spawn monsters. The highest level of monsters is 50 anyway.
As for higher-level monsters, he has been searching for them for so many days but has not found any yet.
I guess we have to wait until they take down the Demon Castle. We should be able to find higher level monsters on the other side of the castle.
