Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 498: Sky Breaking Series

The Demon Crystal Cannon Le Dayuan designed now differed greatly from the last life. There was a huge difference in size, precision, range, strength, and energy transfer efficiency. There were no signs of that cannon that could threaten a nine-star evolved in this completed piece.

But be it Ye Zhongming or Le Dayuan, who was brainwashed, they were both excited. After all, they had taken the first step.

The Sky Breaking Series was the demon crystal cannon that left Ye Zhongming with the deepest impression. He had personally seen it. Le Dayuan was also the one who personally used the cannon.

He knew it wasn’t the strongest series but was still shocked by its strength.

So he gave Le Dayuan some hints that had shadows of the Sky Breaking Series. Thus, the first Demon Crystal Cannon that Master Le designed had clear signs of the series.

Sky Breaking Series was his last lifeʼs most famous siege cannon series. It was known for its movement, small but focused attack range. It was a great weapon to siege city gates or tunnels.

Apart from being affected by Ye Zhongming’s ideas, Le Dayuan had a huge focus on mobility. He felt like it was best to be able to hit and move. It was too one-dimensional only to guard the walls.

The first demon crystal cannon focused on such an ideal, like a cannon attached to a motorcycle.

“The theoretical range is only 200 meters, but it might be shorter but very powerful. The level-two demon crystal is the energy source, but the transfer rate isn’t high, and it can, at most, fire two shots. The highest energy source would be level five, and there is no exact number it can fire. It depends on the exact situation, but the accuracy is good.”

The basic energy source was to use the lowest level demon crystal and be able to convert the energy. The amount of energy converted was different for the different demon crystal levels. Different weapons would even convert different amounts of energy from the same level-one crystal.

In the last life, as one studied more about demon crystal weapons, the weather, the quality of the parts, the stats of the demon crystals, and materials, they would all affect that number.

So, conversion rate became the most important data for demon crystal weapons.

Le Dayuan has been through many failures in his last life and came to a relatively complete data set. Although Ye Zhongming didn’t know what it was exactly, he had a rough concept. After telling Le Dayuan about it, he took fewer failures and had initial results in this area.

He was a genius. Ye Zhongming’s appearance reduced the time needed, but it didn’t cause the genius to lose his shine.

Le Dayuan and Ye Zhongming came to the northwest experiment field. He told Ye Zhongming some important things before starting the test.

“I can only control the energy output once. Moreover, it depends on the energy level, so we can only select between complete state and half complete state for this cannon.”

He sighed and shook his head like he had failed Ye Zhngming. He didn’t notice how Ye Zhongming twitched when he said those words.

Le Dayuan was discussing a switch that could select the weaponʼs strength. In his last life, such a thing took a long time to appear. For it to appear less than a year since the apocalypse started and for him to be unhappy about it, Ye Zhongming didn’t know what to say.

Learning that Ye Zhongming and Le Dayuan were experimenting on the cannons, the few core members who knew about this lab came. Little Tiger, Tong Hu, and Young Master Yun were interested. What shocked Ye Zhongming was that he saw Candy following beside Little Tiger like she was his little girl.

Everyone could tell from their actions that these two people were together.

But thinking about Candy’s age, Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but scold him for being an animal.

The target was a level-three mutated animal pinned to a giant steel piece two hundred meters out. Using this as a target had a more practical use.

“Half complete state, first time, fire!”

Few helpers controlled the cannon while recording the data. Shengyuan stood beside Le Dayuan with his shield.

This was the rule Xia Lei made the day the lab was created. When testing products, Le Dayuan couldn’t do it. Moreover, Shengyuan had to be beside him to prevent anything from happening to Le Dayuan if the accident failed. Ye Zhongming was impressed with that decision.

Hong!

It was still the signature sound of crystal weapons. It wasn’t loud, but unique, and a basin-sized light ball flew.

That level-three mutated lifeform screamed, and its body was scorched but didn’t die. It cried with its last breaths.

Two researchers ran over. One was taking photos, and one was using a machine to record something.

Another level-three mutated lifeform was pushed forward, and this time, the complete state killed the target right away. After recording, Le Dayuan checked the cannon, and he was excited.

With Ye Zhongming’s help, more than half of the durability problem was solved. From his professional assessment, this test cannon needed a change of parts after ten shots. This was a huge improvement!

“Zhongming, the initial tests are a success; give it a name?”

Le Dayuan slapped his work and told Ye Zhongming to name it.

“Sky Breaking Series, once the final product is made, you can name it.”

A bunch of people tested some guns. This weapon was much more advanced than the cannons. With Ye Zhongming’s parts, these weapons could be mass-produced.

Ye Zhongming told Le Dayuan to produce a batch of demon crystal grenades. This Master’s request for more helpers and materials was agreed to.

Although Ye Zhongming was rich, his eyes were constricted when he heard what Le Dayuan needed. He was emotional. Although demon crystal weapons were good, they burned money. Le Dayuan’s list of materials and demon crystals could trade for a six-star potion.

But could he decline it? No, the more he put in, the more rewards he would get.

Ye Zhongming felt poor. He pinched his chin and started to target those people.

He returned to the villa and called Little Tiger over. He passed Zell’s Head to this fellow. Everyone knew what he meant: to pass it to Candy and get in her good graces. The two of them would get closer. Little Tiger was so happy that he wanted to kiss Ye Zhongming but was kicked aside.

After Little Tiger left, Ye Zhongming returned to the basement. He had left something there that he needed to examine.
