Strictly speaking, the previous magic crystal firearms were all experimental products.
After the technology applied to human war weapons emerged, Le Da Yuan himself had no confidence.
He only subconsciously believed in the theories and concepts that Ye Zhongming entrusted to him.
Moreover, compared to magic crystal grenades, magic crystal firearms are more complex and prone to errors.
Therefore, while manufacturing these firearms, Le Da Yuan and his four assistants, along with dozens of people serving them, were exceptionally cautious.
The previous types of magic crystal firearms had all been tested in real combat, with data continuously being sent back.
Le Da Yuan analyzed and summarized each piece of data, drawing lessons from it.
After completing the Silver Box magic crystal grenades and entering production, Le Da Yuan and his laboratory focused their energy on magic crystal firearms.
The return of Young Master Yun and more than fifty five-star evolvers brought back the most valuable piece of combat data, enabling Le Da Yuan to successfully manufacture the first generation Cloud Summit standard firearm he truly recognized—the Twilight Night Series magic crystal assault rifle.
Compared to the already developed second generation magic crystal grenades and the established Sky Breaking series magic crystal cannons, the Twilight Night Series magic crystal assault rifle was somewhat late.
But being late does not mean that its power is inferior or that the product is subpar. On the contrary, due to the experiences gained from the magic crystal grenades and cannons, this magic crystal firearm appeared more mature.
However, due to production capacity issues, even after using previous firearms for modifications, only a hundred Twilight Night Series firearms were completed before Xia Lei's departure.
These hundred Twilight rifles, however, once again stunned the people who had yet to fully recover from the shock of the Silver Box magic crystal grenade.
A hundred Twilight Series magic crystal assault rifles released clusters of black silk-like energy orbs, which started small as they left the gun barrel, and quickly grew larger in the wind, instantly transforming into serpentine black shapes the size of a table, striking towards the zombies ahead.
The speed was very fast, and the sound was very quiet, even the signature buzzing sound of magic crystal weapons was much lighter.
These attacks, generated using level three black magic crystals, almost collided with the zombie horde just one second after being fired.
Indeed, it was a collision.
The zombie horde had no time to react as these black energy serpents crashed into them.
A portion of the horde instantly collapsed.
In just one volley, the casualties inflicted on the horde were no less than those from the previous Silver Box Type 1 grenade attack, leaving many people shaken by the weapon's power.
The Cloud Summit warriors noticed that the most significant change in the Twilight Series magic crystal firearms was—the shooting range had increased.
This was originally a difficult problem to solve; after all, everything about magic crystal weapons is different from traditional firearms.
The shooting range is the hardest to address due to the material of the gun body being unable to withstand the kinetic impact caused by a larger extraction of magic crystals.
Secondly, the speed had increased, the attack range had expanded, and the attack power was greater.
This could only indicate one thing: Le Da Yuan had made a breakthrough in the transformation rate of magic crystal energy, leading to such significant changes.
For Cloud Summit, this was undoubtedly a good thing.
In the past life, it was considered one of humanity's greatest assets against mutated life, demonstrating immense power at this moment.
In conjunction with other magic crystal long spears, they firmly suppressed the zombie horde to within fifty steps.
Many people at Summit Pass breathed a sigh of relief, and many had only one thought in their minds.
