Chapter 287 Insufficient firepower? Not at all!
It was the first time Ludick and Helena had ever seen these two puppets move, so they held their breath, watching with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness.
Then, the [High-Level Space Ring LV50] on Li Ang's finger flashed continuously, and the next moment, rows of magic energy cannons covered with oilcloth were neatly stacked on the ground.
Li Ang casually lifted the tarpaulin, revealing the cannon barrel gleaming coldly and the complex and precise structure of the cannon body underneath.
The first to be removed were the two largest cannons, 203mm magic-powered main cannons, with their thick, long barrels...
The heavy, sturdy gun mount, along with the runes and energy conduits engraved on it, exudes a chilling and intimidating aura.
Li Ang directed the two puppets, placing them one on the left and one on the right on the most sturdy load-bearing base reserved in front of the main structure of the workshop, with the cannon muzzles pointing diagonally into the void ahead, like the fangs of a giant beast.
Next came ten 155mm magic-powered naval guns. Although their caliber was slightly smaller, there were more of them. Li Ang planned their positions: five were placed on the reinforced platform extending from the left wall of the workshop, and five were on the right, forming a secondary gun group with crossfire coverage.
Finally, there were twenty 55mm magic cannons, which were small and agile, and had simple steering chassis.
They were scattered throughout the workshop by Li Ang, on the roof platform, at the corners of the ground floor outer wall, and behind the firing holes in the courtyard wall, forming a dense close-range defense network with almost no blind spots.
Li Ang was mainly responsible for specifying the approximate location and angle, while the two puppets demonstrated amazing engineering capabilities.
They extend multiple arms, some holding special tools to quickly drill holes and reinforce the workshop walls or ground, while others steadily lift cannons weighing hundreds or even thousands of kilograms, precisely fix them in the predetermined position, and skillfully connect the energy transmission lines.
Rudik and Helena watched in stunned silence. In less than an hour, the originally simple and even elegant stone workshop had been transformed into an aerial fortress filled with menacing cannons and exuding a cold and murderous aura!
"This—Captain, these cannons—" Helena swallowed hard, her gaze sweeping over the cannon barrels that gleamed coldly under the lights.
"How much money will this cost?" Although she didn't know much about the specific cost of the magic cannon, common sense told her that it was definitely an astronomical figure.
Moreover, large-caliber magic cannons and their dedicated magic crystals have always been classified as strictly controlled strategic materials by the Wizard Alliance. Ordinary people, even if they have money, simply cannot buy them. The captain not only obtained them, but also obtained so many.
Rudik was equally shocked, but he thought about it more deeply. With such firepower, combined with the amazing mobility and defense of this floating workshop, he suddenly felt that what the captain had said earlier, "to gain the dragon's approval," was probably not an exaggeration. This was simply a mobile war platform!
Li Ang carefully checked the mounting and energy circuits of all the cannons. After confirming that everything was in order, he gave the puppet a temporary standby order. Then he turned to Ludick and Helena and said, "Although the overall setup is complete, I still need to do some adjustments. You can go back and rest first. Don't wait for me."
Upon hearing this, the two understood that their captain might have to handle some operations that were not suitable for bystanders, so they nodded sensibly and returned to the second floor.
"With so many cannons, it seems impossible to upgrade them all at once," Li Ang thought to himself. "Then let's bind them all first to ensure basic control. Upgrading—we'll have to take it slow."
Li Ang took a deep breath and extended his mental energy, enveloping all thirty-two magic cannons in the workshop.
[Bind]
This is the group binding ability he gained after obtaining the complete [Spark Authority]. However, binding so many items at once is a considerable burden even for Li Ang at his current level.
After completing the binding process, Li Ang took out the purchased magic crystals from the ring and had the puppet fill them into the energy chamber. The excess crystals were stored in the storage compartment near the magic cannon to ensure quick replacement when needed.
After finishing all that, he dragged his slightly tired steps upstairs. The living room was quite lively. Nelson and Rodney had prepared a hot dinner and were chatting with Helena and Ludick while waiting for him.
"My lord, you've had a long journey." Upon seeing Li Ang return, Nelson immediately and respectfully handed him a warm towel.
Rodney blinked her big eyes and asked softly, "Sir, are those cannons outside? There are so many!"
Li Ang took the towel and wiped his face, then smiled gently at Rodney: "Yes, it's for protecting us. Let's eat."
Dinner consisted of hot stew, toast, and vegetable soup. Although simple, it tasted quite good thanks to Rodney's careful preparation.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Li Ang also returned to his bedroom. He didn't lie down immediately, but sat cross-legged on the bed. He first took a bottle of [Sedative Potion], and then activated [Gentle Breeze Barrier LV50] to create a rich wind elemental magic environment to quickly restore his depleted mental energy. Once his energy was replenished, he began the most important task of the night: leveling up.
With his mind focused on the two 203mm main guns that were first bound, his immense spiritual power drew upon the power of the torch, and the power of inheritance was guided across time and space, flowing into the massive and intricate gun bodies.
Optimize energy conversion efficiency, strengthen barrel materials, expand energy channel capacity, and inscribe more efficient energy focusing and stabilization runes to improve the reaction speed and accuracy of the aiming and fire control systems.
【upgrade】.
LV10——LV20——LV30LV40——LV50！
When the slight tremor of the upgrade was complete came, Li Ang could clearly feel that the two main guns seemed to have been reborn.
Its energy consumption and charging time have been reduced by an astonishing 95%, while its shelling power and range have been increased by 500%!
This means that even a simple shot is far more powerful than a level four spell, and a charged shot can reach the power of a level five peak spell, while consuming very little energy!
Without stopping, Li Ang began upgrading the four 155mm secondary guns, also raising them to LV50. As a result, these secondary guns also achieved a similar effect of significantly reduced energy consumption and a huge increase in power.
After finishing all this, the sky outside the window was already beginning to lighten. Li Ang let out a long breath, feeling a wave of mental exhaustion.
He glanced at the remaining six secondary guns and twenty close-in weapon systems and decided to stop there for now, leaving the rest to be completed slowly on the way to the holy mountain.
He lay down and, with the help of the [Acceleration Pocket Watch LV50], entered a deep sleep.
An hour and a half later, when it was fully light, Li Ang got up feeling refreshed.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Nelson went to open it first, and there stood a completely transformed dwarf queen.
