CHAPTER TEXT:
"Two in One~~"
Everything has its limits, and these limits can be multifaceted.
Take the magic crystal cannon as an example. Le Da Yuan wanted to increase the power of this weapon, and there are three methods to achieve that.
One is to improve the efficiency of the energy circuit, allowing more energy extracted from the magic crystal to be converted into the weapon's power rather than wasted. The second is to increase the grade of the magic crystal used. It has been proven that the higher the grade of the magic crystal, the more energy it outputs, and the greater the power per unit of energy, which naturally translates into increased weapon power.
The third method is to increase the number of magic crystals used. By modifying the energy circuit, the magic crystal cannon can consume more energy with each shot to enhance its striking power.
From these three points, theoretically, the magic crystal cannon possesses infinite possibilities.
But in reality, it is not so simple.
Although the efficiency of the energy circuit has made groundbreaking progress under Le Da Yuan's research, achieving a perfect state where no energy is wasted from the magic crystal extraction is impossible and does not align with basic theory.
Magic crystal weapons are extremely powerful, but they also consume a lot of energy. Even a large organization like Cloud Summit has strict regulations regarding the use of such weapons during peacetime. The phrase "once the cannon fires, it’s worth a fortune" is equally true in the apocalypse. After a large-scale battle, Cloud Summit's stock of magic crystals would be greatly depleted, a wealth that could make anyone blush and their heart race.
At the same time, the main use of high-grade magic crystals is to facilitate human evolution, and it is impossible to use them infinitely in magic crystal weapons, especially seventh-grade crystals, which even Cloud Summit cannot afford to use as expendables at this time.
Under the constraint of only being able to use sixth-grade magic crystals, to enhance the power of magic crystal weapons, one can only strive to use more of them.
However, this is not a simple math problem where if ten crystals are insufficient, one can just use twenty, and if twenty are still not enough, then use fifty.
This also involves complex related issues. For example, placing more magic crystals would require increasing the size of the magic crystal weapon. With a larger size, it would need more complex energy circuits.
This leads to the paradoxical problem of energy circuit consumption...
After countless deductions and experiments, Le Da Yuan and his assistants finally found a suitable value. This value represented the optimal combination of the size of the magic crystal cannon, the area of the circuit, and the number of magic crystals used, or, in other words, the limit.
Thus, the annihilation ultimate model was born.
Of course, in Le Da Yuan's words, this is the ultimate model when using sixth-grade magic crystals. When seventh-grade magic crystals are used, it will be a completely different matter.
These ultimate models under sixth-grade magic crystals resemble small villas; each one sprawls over two hundred square meters on the ground, with the tallest part reaching almost five meters. The not-so-long barrel allows a robust man to crawl in and out easily.
Each giant cannon is firmly embedded in the mountain, like a giant beast. On each side of the cannon body, there are fifteen neatly arranged depressions, which are for placing magic crystals. This means that to operate such an ultimate annihilation cannon, thirty sixth-grade magic crystals are required. However, these crystals are equivalent to one bottle of six-star evolution potion and can only support this ultimate model to fire six shots!
Since these giant cannons are designed to maximize lethality, they do not have the output energy power selector buttons that similar weapons typically possess. This means that each shot fired is at maximum power. However, there are selectable modes. When facing a single target, the firing mode can be adjusted to a cluster light beam. When facing numerous targets, a range attack pattern can be selected.
