Doomsday: I can see the health bar and kill monsters to get treasures

Chapter 649 Crystal Energy Cannon
I hope the research institute acted even faster than Qu Shilin said. In just seven days, those awakening fruits became brand new awakening potions.

"Now that we know the method of making the awakening potion, it is not difficult to make it. The difficulty lies in the scarcity of the awakening fruit, the main ingredient. As long as there are enough awakening fruits, we can produce awakening potions continuously!"

Qu Shilin explained to Wang Tao with a smile.

"I see!" Wang Tao nodded, and then said, "Then I can take these people out for a trip tomorrow..."

He had been planning to go to the rift again tomorrow. Now that the awakening potion had been produced, he could take these people out and increase their strength to the current upper limit. Otherwise, they would not be able to awaken even with the awakening potion.

"You're going out tomorrow? Are you recovered?"

Hearing Wang Tao's words, Qu Shilin immediately asked with concern.

"Well, it's almost there."

Wang Tao explained with a smile.

The recovery speed of awakening energy is extremely slow. At the beginning, when he just awakened, he could only recover 100 points a day. Later, as his strength increased, the recovery speed gradually increased, but not much. With Wang Tao's current strength, the awakening energy can only recover 10% a day, which is 1000 points.

Wang Tao had used up all 10000 awakening energies when using Explosive Flame. It would take 10 days to restore them to full value.

Of course, Wang Tao can also use awakening energy beads or awakening crystal cores, but this is a bit too extravagant.

Because whether it is the awakening energy bead or the awakening crystal core, it can only restore 100 awakening energy each time.

Wang Tao has quite a few awakening crystal cores in his hands, but the effect of awakening crystal cores is only effective for the same level. He is at level six, and awakening crystal cores below level six have no effect on him. He can only use awakening crystal cores of level six, but there are not many awakening crystal cores of level six.

Although the awakening energy beads have no level restrictions and he can always use them, the awakening energy beads are not something that will definitely drop when killing zombies, and the number is even less than that of the sixth-level awakening crystal cores!

Whether it is the awakening energy beads or the awakening crystal core, they are generally used in emergencies. It is a bit extravagant to rely on these things to replenish his 10000 awakening energy.

When Wang Tao was outside before, he rarely used the awakening energy beads and awakening crystal cores, and rarely waited for the awakening energy to recover, as if the awakening energy was inexhaustible. But that was because killing creatures above the lord level would restore a certain amount of awakening energy.

Wang Tao had always hunted creatures above the lord level, and his energy consumption had not yet been recovered much, so he was not worried about not having enough awakening energy.

But those transparent fish are all elite level. No matter how many Wang Tao kills, it will not restore any awakening energy for him...

Therefore, he might as well wait for a few days until his awakening energy has recovered automatically before going out.

"Can I come with you? I want to see those living sea beasts with my own eyes. It will be of great help to our research..."

When Qu Shilin heard Wang Tao say that he had almost recovered, he immediately looked at him eagerly.

Although she is already a sixth-level awakener, she has almost no combat ability except for her good physique. She is a worthless fighter. Her abilities are all in scientific research.

So she usually wouldn't go out unless she was sure her safety was guaranteed. The few times she went out, she was always with Wang Tao. She didn't feel safe with others, and Wang Tao could give her an unparalleled sense of security.

These mutated sea monsters are all very magical creatures. Qu Shilin's research on them is just the beginning. If she could see a living sea beast, it would be best if she could scan it with her mental power, which would be of great help to her research.

In addition, Wang Tao also has some understanding of sea beasts, so it should not be as dangerous as before, so Qu Shilin also wants to go out with Wang Tao to take a look.

"Row."

Wang Tao thought about it and didn't refuse.

He now has a better understanding of sea beasts, so he just needs to be careful and not let Qu Shilin fall into danger.

"Thank you!"

Qu Shilin happily hugged Wang Tao, and then handed all the more than 40,000 medicines to Wang Tao.

"All the awakening potions are in here!"

There are dozens of large boxes in total. After all, they are awakening potions, so safety precautions must be taken.

Looking at these boxes, Wang Tao seemed to suddenly think of something. He waved his hand and several large boxes of different shapes appeared in front of her.

"what is this?"

Qu Shilin was no longer surprised by Wang Tao's ability to take things out of thin air, so she didn't ask much. She was just curious about this treasure chest.

"This is a storage treasure chest. There is a compressed space inside that can hold a lot of things. You can put things in it later, and you can also study these treasure chests."

These storage treasure chests were obtained by Wang Tao from the cracks before. Now the cracks are full of water and can no longer be entered. The treasure chests are basically out of print. But Wang Tao still has a lot of them, so it’s no problem to give a few to Qu Shilin. He had forgotten about this before, but now he remembered it when he saw so many boxes of potions.

"Ah? Compressed space? So magical!"

Qu Shilin quickly opened the treasure chest and studied it carefully. The more he looked, the more shocked he was.

She didn't know how these treasure chests worked. If they could be explained by technology, it would obviously be beyond her understanding. However, this was the end of the world, and even people with special abilities and awakened beings, who were considered superhuman in peacetime, appeared. It made sense to have a space treasure chest that could store items.

However, what Wang Tao did not expect was that after studying the treasure chest a little, Qu Shilin did not rush to study the principle of the treasure chest, but thought of a use for the treasure chest.

"You said that non-living things should be able to be put in there... Then if we put some heavy weapons in the treasure chest and take them out when we fight, wouldn't that greatly improve our combat effectiveness?"

"Heavy weapons?"

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment. Are there any heavy weapons now?

There may have been some before, such as cannons, missiles, and even nuclear bombs, but since all electronic equipment has been paralyzed and electricity cannot be used, these weapons have basically become scrap metal.

In the past, we didn't use these weapons because we were afraid that the zombies would survive the explosion and mutate into stronger zombies. But now, these weapons can't even be used... Where are the heavy weapons?
Seeing Wang Tao's confusion, Qu Shilin took him to a laboratory with some pride.

"Here, this is the weapon. Although I didn't develop it, I also contributed to it!"

Looking at the huge gun barrel of a completely different style in front of him, Wang Tao opened his mouth slightly.

"Is this... the crystal energy cannon you mentioned before?"

Qu Shilin had told him before that he hoped the research institute would be developing the crystal energy cannon at the same time as it was developing the crystal energy gun.

However, the energy in the crystal core is not so easy to control. It is good enough to be able to make a crystal energy gun. If you want to make a larger caliber crystal energy cannon, you have to work harder. And this cannon-like thing in front of you looks very much like a crystal energy cannon...

"Yes, this is the Crystal Energy Cannon! And it's a mass-produced version!"

Qu Shilin immediately introduced him to Wang Tao.

Theoretically, the crystal energy cannon is an enlarged version of the crystal energy gun. But it is easier said than done. If the crystal energy cannon is really enlarged according to the crystal energy gun, it may kill its own people before killing the enemy.

Therefore, the crystal energy gun was manufactured very early, but there has been no major breakthrough in the crystal energy cannon.

Qu Shilin didn't say much about the specific principle, but it is very complicated.

At that time, Qu Shilin gave Wang Tao a crystal energy sniper rifle, which was extremely powerful. Qu Shilin himself was shocked and had little health after firing a shot. That gun was the largest caliber weapon they could make. If the caliber was larger, they would not be able to control it.

Now, after such a long period of hard work, we have finally overcome the difficulties of the crystal energy cannon and can now go into mass production.

However, although this crystal energy cannon is powerful, it also has its shortcomings.

The first is the consumption problem. Each time the crystal energy cannon is fired, a large amount of crystal cores are consumed, and some of the energy is lost during use. The institute will conduct in-depth research on energy consumption, and there should be some improvements in the future.

The second issue is flexibility. These crystal energy cannons need to withstand the burst of crystal energy, so they use a lot of materials, are very large, and are very heavy, so they can't be moved quickly. They are OK for defending the city, but it's more troublesome to use them for fighting outside.

Finally, there is the issue of defense, which is also the most fatal weakness - although these crystal energy cannons look very powerful and domineering, they are actually very fragile and easily affected by external factors, making it impossible to fire. It is simply a real-life "glass cannon".

This obviously doesn't work in the apocalypse, as some zombies and monsters are very fast. If you prepare for a long time and finally send the crystal energy cannon over, but an ordinary zombie comes and destroys the crystal energy cannon, you will lose a lot.

So this crystal energy cannon looks good, but its actual effect is limited. In the past, when new crystal energy guns appeared, Qu Shilin would ask Wang Tao to test them, but after these crystal energy cannons were manufactured, they no longer bothered Wang Tao. For Wang Tao, this may not only not improve combat effectiveness, but also become a burden.

And today, when Qu Shilin saw these treasure chests, she felt that these treasure chests were just right for storing crystal energy cannons - two of the three shortcomings of the crystal energy cannons were solved at once!
The high consumption cannot be solved for the time being, and we can only wait for the subsequent optimization of the research institute. But the problems of poor flexibility and low defense can be solved at the same time!

It is much simpler to carry a treasure chest with you than to carry a crystal energy cannon. Even if the treasure chest is relatively heavy and requires a crystal energy vehicle to pull it, it is still much better than pulling a large and heavy crystal energy cannon.

Moreover, the safety of the crystal energy cannon will be much better inside the treasure chest. You can even take it out before firing, and then put it back into the treasure chest and run away. In this way, the safety of the crystal energy cannon will be greatly enhanced.

Seeing the light in Qu Shilin's eyes, Wang Tao immediately touched his chin and said:
"Hearing you say that, it seems quite suitable... How about giving it a try?"

"Give it a try!"

Qu Shilin nodded immediately.

So, Wang Tao placed one of the treasure chests near the crystal energy cannon, then put his hand on the cannon and moved it with his mind.

brush--

Wang Tao seemed to lift up the crystal energy cannon with one hand, and in the process, the crystal energy cannon was shrinking rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, this gigantic crystal energy cannon entered the treasure chest and shrank to the size of a figurine.

"Really!"

Seeing this scene, Qu Shilin clenched his fists excitedly.

Judging from the space inside the treasure chest, a treasure chest can hold many crystal energy cannons! In other words, a team carrying a treasure chest may be able to become a terrifying artillery corps in a short period of time!

But now is not the time to be happy. Putting the crystal energy cannon in is only the first step. We also need to make sure that we can take it out smoothly and that it can be fired normally after taking it out.

Under Qu Shilin's expectant gaze, Wang Tao reached out and took out the crystal energy cannon.

The crystal energy cannon quickly grew larger after leaving the treasure chest. In the blink of an eye, it became its previous huge size and stopped properly in front of the two people.

"Let me try and see if it works!"

Qu Shilin immediately came to the tail of the Crystal Energy Cannon, where there was a Crystal Energy touch screen. Unlike an electronic screen, there were not many things displayed on it, but Wang Tao could not understand any of it.

After Qu Shilin quickly operated, a line of prompts appeared on the screen. Qu Shilin breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to Wang Tao happily:

"The cannon indicates that there is no energy and it cannot be fired for the time being. This means everything is normal!"

This thing is too powerful, so the research institute naturally doesn't dare to put crystal cores in it. Otherwise, if it goes off accidentally, this one shot might blow up the research institute, the square, and even the city hall.

After making sure there were no problems with putting in and taking out, Wang Tao's mind became active.

If we use a few crystal energy cannons to deal with those sea beasts, it should be easier, right? But I don't know how powerful it is...

"How many crystal energy cannons do you have now? It should be okay for me to take these cannons out for testing tomorrow, right?"

Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin and asked.

"There are currently six crystal energy cannons. The materials used to make this thing are still very expensive. Only this one remains in the laboratory. The other five were given to the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Sixth Legions some time ago. They were asked to try to see if the crystal energy cannons could be used in actual combat, but there has been no effect so far..."

The Fifth Legion also has talents in scientific research. These crystal energy cannons were jointly researched by the Fifth Legion and the research institute, so they didn't take them away. They can just come to the research institute when they need research.

"So how powerful are these crystal energy cannons?"

"In theory, each attack of these crystal energy cannons is equivalent to the full force of a sixth-order awakener, and it is a long-range, large-scale damage!" At this point, Qu Shilin hurriedly explained, "Of course, I'm talking about a normal sixth-order awakener, not you... You're too abnormal!"

"...I'll just take it as a compliment."

Wang Tao shrugged, but he was still very satisfied with the power of this crystal energy cannon.

The damage of a full-strength attack from a sixth-order awakener is not low. If several crystal energy cannons are aimed at the same target, they may be able to kill a sixth-order lord instantly!

And most importantly, it has a long attack distance and a large burst range! If it is used to deal with those transparent fish, wouldn't it be just right?
"How about it? Tomorrow we..."

Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao expectantly.

"Okay, let's go outside and give it a try tomorrow! I'll get those cannons later."

"Okay! If the effect is good, our institute will continue to manufacture a few more even if we have to sell everything we have!"

Qu Shilin was looking forward to it, then sighed and said:

"In fact, what we originally thought of was to let the power armor carry these crystal energy cannons to fight, but after several power armors were damaged by the earthquake, we gave up this crazy idea. Unless we make larger and more powerful power armors, but the current technology does not support the manufacture of large power armors. It would be great if we could have more biological weapons with armed functions for us to study..."

"..."

Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin with a strange expression.

He still had quite a few biological weapons with armed functions. Those things were of no use to Wang Tao now, and they had been gathering dust in his space backpack. If Qu Shilin hadn't mentioned them, Wang Tao would have almost forgotten about them...
