Initial experiments yielded that the impact between worlds would result in the shattering of the rule force and cause the two impacting worlds to appear to be shattered and partially peeled off and dislodged.
And to achieve a more intense impact and instantaneous explosive effect, it would have to be further accelerated.
Acceleration might not necessarily result in a greater kill, but it could increase the hit rate.
Divine kingdoms were different from gravel worlds, they were world boats manipulated by the gods, and although they moved sluggishly and were accompanied by delays, steering and alignment could still be done.
When pushed, the gods would also burn their faith to accelerate and escape the plagues.
At such times, it was necessary to ensure that the Gravel World Weapon was fast enough so that even if the Gods found an unknown world flying at high speed, it would be difficult for Him to immediately accelerate to get rid of it.
Of course, it was also a bit of a fool’s errand to have a one-shot precision sniper.
The special nature of the Vortex World was destined that most of the Divine Kingdoms would keep their distance from it and wouldn’t give the opportunity to fire at close range.
Lu Yao’s optimised solution was to increase the number.
As long as there were enough shells with a fast enough rate of fire to allow for area-based fire coverage, then the hit rate would naturally increase quite a bit.
This was also the inspiration he got from the [Egil’s Fire].
Lu Yao named this macro weapon the Vortex Cannon, and its shells were called Boundary Cannons.
With the general direction determined, the next step was practical preparation.
Firstly, the gravel worlds had to be accelerated in an orderly and safe manner, and it had to be ensured that these gravel worlds were of a similar size, or else because of the difference in the effect of the force of the rules, it would be easy for them to collide with each other internally, and blow up before they could be fired.
This part of the process required careful selection of the gravel worlds.
Lu Yao spent quite a bit of time to identify two echelons from the ring-shaped world cluster, which were placed into two orbits that he didn’t use, arranged according to two models, small and micro, and rotated around the vortex world.
It was equivalent to two different ammunition depots
After initially solving the problem of boundary cannon selection and loading, the firing process followed.
Lu Yao tried from the small gravel world.
After accelerating and ejecting ten or so gravel worlds, he found a more suitable acceleration cycle.
The effective range of a Vortex World was within one screen at most, the farther the distance, the worse the accuracy, and the deflection of the Gravel World under acceleration would be very serious.
Taking the screen boundary as the target, 3 seconds of acceleration for the small gravel world would be enough, and after completing the acceleration, letting it circle around the orbit into a suitable angle to throw it would complete the launch of a gravel grade boundary cannon.
To fire a gravel-class miniature world cannon, the expenditure of faith fire is around 40,000 yuan.
Lu Yao’s initial planning was that a round of firing would require at least 15 boundary cannons to achieve the most basic area-based coverage. For better results, the number of cannons would have to be further increased, and more would be better.
A round of bombardment from a vortex cannon in actual combat would consume at least 15 gravel worlds of similar size, with a basic expenditure of no less than 600,000 faith.
This kind of heavy firepower consumed a lot.
As for how effective it was, a conclusion would have to be drawn after the actual battle drill.
Lu Yao searched for his target in the sector dimension space.
After half an hour, he finally found a suitable imaginary enemy.
It was a smaller-scale fragmented world, also unnamed, shaped like a tortoise shell, following the waves in the pitch-black Realm Dimension Space.
The shard world was more leathery, and the rule force was even more complete and tough than the Divine Kingdom, so it shouldn’t be much of a problem to be grazed by a less powerful gravel-grade boundary cannon.
Compared to the Fragmented World, the smaller model’s Realm Cannon was only one twentieth of its size, and with the distance between the two sides, the Fragmented World should be able to resist the impact.
Lu Yao aimed at the target and began to operate it.
Selecting the Miniature Gravel-class Boundary Cannon, it entered the orbit and completed filling the ammunition, and the acceleration began.
The 15 miniature gravel worlds accelerated uniformly, their movement on the periphery of the vortex world accelerating continuously.
3 seconds of acceleration ends.
Adjust the angle.
In order to be able to aim a little, Lu Yao purposely brought the Vortex World close to the Fragment World, with both sides less than half a screen away.
Lu Yao clicked to fire.
The first practical exercise of the Vortex Cannon was very ineffective.
There were 4 rounds of Realm Cannons that hit each other when they were thrown out, leading to internal friction.
6 rounds of boundary cannons were far off track and flew to nowhere.
There were also 3 rounds that were pulled by the nearby Gravel World’s rule force while in flight, resulting in hitting other targets on the way.
In the end, only 2 Gravel Cannons grazed their targets, causing the Fragmented World to shake slightly, stripping away some fragments, like dust shaken off a ball of clay.
Lu Yao said in his heart that it was a pity.
This accuracy was really stingy.
To ensure a hit, only close range turbine cannons disliking the face worked best.
The problem of accuracy at long range seemed to be unsolvable in the short term.
The number of shells has to be further increased. In real combat, the opportunity is rare, at least 30 gravel worlds have to be prepared for a round of fire, and it has to be at a closer distance to ensure a hit.
Lu Yao pondered on ways to make subsequent adjustments.
He collected the surrounding Gravel Worlds along the way, arranging the models according to different body types, fortunately, the desolate Gravel Worlds themselves were everywhere, and he didn’t worry about a lack of ammunition.
The test firing and rehearsal of the Vortex Cannon was costly and expensive, and if it wasn’t for his own financial strength, this seemingly simple little scientific research wouldn’t have been able to get off the ground at all.
At this time, Lu Yao didn’t notice that one of the boundary cannons flew into the depths of the darkness during the test-fire and accurately hit a divine Kingdom, causing a series of huge tremors.
……
The Bamboo Reed Kingdom was an ordinary divine Kingdom.
As the owner and ruler of the divine Kingdom, King Bamboo Reed’s motto was: safety first.
He wasn’t very strong, but he was able to maintain the stable development of the divine Kingdom through hundreds of epochs because the Bamboo Reed King was able to judge the situation and always avoid dangers and scourges of war.
It’s not that he was born with the ability to avoid danger, but he holds a special fire prop [Bamboo Mirage Light].
The Bamboo Mirage Misty Light could cover the entire God’s Kingdom, disguising it as a gravel world.
When the gods observed it from afar, they would only get feedback like [Gravel World Unnamed].
Unless other worlds came close to the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, under the influence of the power of the rules, the effect of the [Bamboo Mirage Misty Light] would disappear, and then its identity as a divine kingdom would be discovered.
All the Bamboo Reed King had to do was to stay away from other worlds, whether it was the Shard World or the Gravel World, not to mention the Divine Kingdom.
By remaining alone and adrift, the Bamboo Reed Kingdom was safe.
In the endless realm-dimensional space, the broken and useless gravel worlds were like fine sand in the sea, countless in number, no one would care at all, and no one would pay attention to them.
This was the Bamboo Reed King’s philosophy of survival: hide in the gravel.
He had also been a Main War Faction God of the Gods in the past, leading His Apostles and followers to have battles with quite a few Gods.
At the end of one war after another, He also gained a lot of war dividends, but the subsequent problems brought by the war would continue for many years, with population growth slowing down, lack of faith successors, believers’ creativity weakening, and the expenses of restoring the God Kingdom …… many invisible losses are all incalculable.
Later, He slowly turned into a war avoidance faction.
It is ridiculous to say.
After implementing the war avoidance strategy, the closed-off Bamboo Reed Kingdom developed far better than in the past and entered a period of rapid development. The population grew dramatically, the residents of the God’s Kingdom lived and worked in peace and contentment, and from time to time, a round of faith fervour erupted.
However, the rise and fall of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom was dependent on each other, and with the change of epochs, the development of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom eventually tended to stagnate.
The Bamboo Reed King thought of a new approach.
He manoeuvred the World Boat and searched around for those shattered masterless god kingdoms.
These god kingdoms certainly wouldn’t have any good things left in them, and there were even very few living creatures, but usually there would be remnants and relics of old civilisations in them, which would allow the believers to acquire some new technologies and cultures in order to stimulate the god kingdom’s civilisation.
These were helpful to the Divine Kingdom.
All in all, the Bamboo Lu King rummaged through the realm dimension space, searching through the divine Kingdom’s rubbish and taunting from within.
This method did not yield much and required patience, but the benefit was that it was safe enough.
Recently, King Bamboo Reed was in a good mood.
Not too long ago, He had found a masterless divine kingdom that actually had some plants and a large amount of usable soil inside, and He transplanted all of this to the Bamboo Reed Kingdom.
The bamboo and reed people were excited about this, causing a wave of god worship.
The Bamboo Reed King looked down on the God’s Kingdom that was full of life, and felt a bit of pride in his heart.
This was the path to godhood that one had found.
It was just as bumpy, but reassuring.
……
When that gravel world flew in, the Bamboo Lu King was initially puzzled.
He had never seen a gravel world that was so fast before, and it rushed all the way from the depths of darkness at high speed.
Not good!
It was about to crash into the Bamboo Reed Kingdom!
The Bamboo Reed King immediately set sail, accelerating against the entire divine Kingdom.
But he was still too late.
Even though he set sail at his fastest speed, he was still slammed into the Bamboo Reed Kingdom by the rapidly approaching Gravel World.
In a violent tremor, the power of the world’s rules twisted and shattered.
A black crack appeared in the sky, lightning fell to the ground as if it were a torrential downpour, the sun shone a viscous red like blood, and the water droplets on the ground slowly climbed towards the air.
This scene, which was like the end of the world, caused the residents of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom to be shocked, and one by one, they knelt down and prayed, praying for the gods’ shelter and resting their wrath.
The Bamboo Reed King only had one strong thought in his head at this moment.
Enemy attack.
This wasn’t an accident, it was an enemy attack! It was a sneak attack!
No gravel world would hit a divine kingdom at high speed in this manner – and the key was so precise!
Out of sight, the enemy had launched its first attack.
The Bamboo Reed King looked in the direction from which the Gravel World had flown.
Far ahead, there was a huge white vortex world.
And on the edge of the vortex world’s orbit, there was and was only one divine kingdom that was slowly levitating.
[Spectral Ghost World].
The Bamboo Reed King didn’t know what means the other party had used to recognise the disguise of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, and how they had driven the Gravel World into a weapon of annihilation.
However, He knew that if he didn’t act accordingly, the Bamboo Reed Kingdom would become a living target, and would most likely be blasted into pieces by the enemy with one gravel world after another.
At this point, the Bamboo Reed Kingdom had reached the point of life and death.
He decisively declared to all beings within the God Country, “The enemy gods have launched an attack! From this instant, the divine Kingdom enters a state of war!”
“The counterattack is about to begin!”
Under the Apostle’s leadership and organisation, the Bamboo and Reed People sprang into action.
The Bamboo and Reed Nation turned their direction and flew towards the [Phantom Demon Realm].
