Vol 5 Chapter 103 (2/2)
The corners of her mouth ticked upward“Facts will prove ords cannotNo point in wasting any more breath, time for you to see for yourself! Now don’t blink!”
She commanded the crowd of scientists with authorityIt would be foolish to discount her because of her young age, for hellfloas a scientist of unparalleled talent in all nificent ability to absorb information made her an honest savantShe was the soul of her research tea into the powerhouse it was today was in large part thanks to her
The ar sure the calculations were accurate, they pointed it toward a small mountain in the distance
“Fire!”
hellfloaved her ar roar followedIt sounded like a thousand terrible beasts all crying out at once
Cloudhaatched as a shotOnlookers saw it eject from the cannon as a solid white beam that streaked dozens of kilometers into the distanceIt struck near the top of the ash left behind belched smoke into the air
That was one hell of a display! Cloudhawk took the weapon a lot y weapon like this take out a target from so far away
In the ancient society before the destruction of the world, interest in energy weapons were at their peakHowever, pure energy weapons are unstable especially when used in atuns, for instance, lostonly a few shortbeat traditional ammunition

But if hellflower’s eboncryss cannon could blow off the top of a mountain so far away, it meant she solved that problemThe world of today was enveloped in extre-distance couided weapons all but ih to dominate modern battlefields
It had taken two scientists to priy fuel it used was spent and when the material was rey chamber housed the material the cannon used to fireIt only shot one blast at a ti to be reloadedIt was tedious and troublesohtFuture designs y cha to be reloadedThat would make them more useful in combat
Cloudhawk didn’t know the principles behind it but he could tell the eboncrys cannon filtered the energy through a series of tubes and coilsThe end result was a beay stores in an instantSo this powerful fixed on the deck of a warshi+p had a good chance of blasted Elysian vessels from the sky in one blow
After all, this was a weapon that transcended what modern science was capable of! It was no less terrible than the weapons of ancient times
Cloudhawk had considerably more satisfaction in his tone now“If we could build a lot of these, no walls could keep us outSet them up around our city and ould be in a very defensible position”
War between Skycloud and Greenland was inevitable, but weapons like this gave Cloudhawk confidence
“It’s one hell of a gun, thoughI iht, the workings of the cannon are very complicatedThis one prototype is the result of a full year of researchThe results of consistent hard work and lucky breakthroughsNow that we know the process, though, it would take another month or two to build another”
Two months? That was too slow! The wastelands were already at the brink of war
If Cloudhaas to wait until his armies were fully equipped with these weapons, he would be waiting a long tiht noe have several ot plenty of materials and production potentialIt see these cannons we could get it done faster”
hellflower nodded“This is precisely so I wanted to talk to you aboutAn eboncrys factory would be a significant iuns, rifles, cannons and bo up infrastructure to mass produce them should be a priority”
The next question here? Cloudhawk rules over several places directly and indirectly and each had its strengthsGreenland, for instance, had a reoalsNox was a city where science flourishedImperia was flush with resourcesEven the Blisterpeaks and Sandspire were optionsAny one of them could be the site of this new industry
“What about Woodland Vale?” Cloudhawk posed the question to hellflower“The eboncrys you all need are grown there and getting the s a lot easierThe Vale’s powerful enchant made”
But hellflower shook her head“That won’t do, Woodland Vale isn’t safe”
That was an assertion that came out of nowhere, as far as CloudhaareBesides I as Woodland Vale? If that place wasn’t safe, where else could they build their neeapons?
“An eboncrys factory would be a huge invest a second would be toohow i just on the Vale’s protections isn’t enoughI do not believe in the Vale’s ability to withstand a full-on assault from Skycloud, or worse, the Gods that ally with it”
This s difficult for CloudhawkIf not the Vale, then where? Was there anywhere else that could satisfy the conditions they de eyes, dancing around her suggestion“I know some places that may be suitablePlaces where even if all the Gods and dehtest threatPlacing our factory there would be convenient and coame to support us!
