Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 80 The Tank's Gears Rolled On
Two days later, at noon, Huo Yuhao, the little tyrant of the Foreign Languages ​​Department, was holding a charcoal pencil and drawing something on a piece of paper. Beside him, Fan Yu and He Caitou stared at the object on the paper with curiosity.

After Huo Yuhao finished the last stroke, he glanced at the drawing and nodded in satisfaction before handing the completed drawing to Fan Yu.

"Teacher, this is my initial idea."

"That so-called soul-guided artillery tactic is, in my opinion, utterly stupid," Huo Yuhao glanced at He Caitou, shook his head helplessly, and continued, "Wrap yourself up in a big metal block and you can't move at all. Although this can effectively reduce the load on the body when firing a large number of soul-guided devices and can also maximize the accuracy of the shots, it also turns you into a live target."

Huo Yuhao took out a piece of metal and simultaneously circulated his soul power. The power of the ultimate ice instantly froze the small piece of metal, even completely destroying its internal structure. Then, he suddenly exerted force with both hands, and with a "crack," the piece of metal frozen by the ultimate ice instantly turned into fragments scattered all over the ground.

"As you can see, there are many types of energy that can affect and damage metal, such as ice and fire, or lightning, etc. Although their power may not be as strong as my ultimate ice, it will definitely not be pleasant for anyone trapped in a metal block. They could easily be trapped inside and die if they are not careful."

He Caitou frowned, recalling the scene of him sparring with Huo Yuhao using the Soul Guidance Turret Battle Technique, and slowly said, "Yuhao, I know what you mean, but isn't this thing you drew just a big metal block? It doesn't even have wheels, so it can't move."

Huo Yuhao chuckled, pointing to the abstractly shaped square box on the blueprint, and said, "I call this a tank. The top part is the turret, which can be equipped with all sorts of soul guidance devices, such as soul guidance rays, soul guidance cannons, or fixed soul guidance cannons, etc. The base below is used to inscribe soul guidance arrays, serving as the soul power driving system for the tank's movement. The two rows below can be made into a power unit consisting of a drive shaft and drive wheels, with tracks installed on top."

"As long as we study the aspect ratio of both sides, we can ensure that this thing can pass through most terrains steadily. As for the movement speed, it can be completely controlled by the Soul Master. We can also use a milk bottle as an auxiliary power supply device to reduce the Soul Master's consumption."

"If it's used in a competition, you can just remove the turrets and replace them with armor that can hold people in place. That way, it becomes a mobile soul-guided turret tactic. It has defensive capabilities and a certain degree of flexibility. It's much more useful than those iron weights that are just sitting ducks."

As he listened to Huo Yuhao's explanation, Fan Yu's eyes gradually lit up. Looking at the rough design of the "tank" that Huo Yuhao had designed, countless possible modifications and optimizations immediately popped into his mind. With his experience and insight, he was absolutely certain that the feasibility of making this thing was very high!

Moreover, if it were actually developed, it would not only be a huge optimization and improvement to the Soul Master's Soul Guidance Turret Battle Tactics, but if used in war, it would also be an absolute weapon of mass destruction!
If a Soul Master carries a sufficient number of Soul Guidance Cannonballs, wouldn't that be equivalent to a fixed Soul Guidance Cannon turret that can move across all terrains?

Fan Yu was deeply shocked when she saw the smile on Huo Yuhao's face!
Previously, after Dean Qian conveyed Elder Mu's order to him, he felt that Elder Mu's actions were somewhat suppressing Huo Yuhao's talent as a Soul Master. Unexpectedly, he was slapped hard by reality today!

Elder Mu is right. For the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao's most important asset is not his talent in Soul Guidance, but his boundless creativity!
Why couldn't they have thought of such a simple mechanical structure?

Then look at Huo Yuhao. It was just a sparring match with Cai Tou, and he immediately drew up the blueprint in no time!
Is the difference in talent and wisdom between people really that great?
He Fan Yu was once known as the number one genius of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, but now compared with Huo Yuhao, he's no genius at all!

"Yuhao, you, you really are..." Fan Yu was so excited that she couldn't speak clearly, she just kept patting Huo Yuhao's shoulder. "No, this thing is too important for Shrek Academy, and even for the Douluo Three Kingdoms! I have to go find Dean Qian and Dean Xian right now and ask them to gather the teachers of the Soul Guidance Department to form a research group and start developing it immediately!"

Fan Yu's hands trembled with excitement as she rushed out of the laboratory.

He Caitou stared blankly at Teacher Fan Yu, who was as excited as a child, and couldn't help but smile wryly. He said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, I'm truly impressed. When Teacher Fan Yu privately suggested that I be the logistics and strategic warehouse for your 'Individual Soldier Plan,' I was a little resentful. Now it seems that you are indeed the best choice for this plan, or even the only choice."

"With your Soul Skill called 'True Vision' and your strong Soul Master talent, if you were to arm yourself with a powerful enough Soul Tool, once you reach the Title Douluo level, let alone influencing a local battlefield, I think you might even be able to assassinate the Emperor!"

"Forget it, I'd better go back to sleep. If I stay with you any longer, I'm afraid I'll start to question the meaning of life!"

With that, He Caitou stood up with a look of disappointment and walked towards his rest area. He had long since gotten used to living in Fan Yu's laboratory.

Halfway there, he seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his dark, bald head, and turned around to say, "Oh, right, you've almost confused me, Yuhao. There's a treasure appreciation event in Shrek City tomorrow night. I heard it's specifically for the core disciples of the outer academy, and it's being held at the Treasure Pavilion. You can go check it out; maybe there will be some good stuff."

"Here, this is the invitation letter that Teacher Zhou asked me to give you."

With a flick of his wrist, He Caitou sent a piece of red paper with gold lettering flying over.

Huo Yuhao casually caught it and saw the three large, gilded characters "Treasure Appreciation Gathering" on it. A thought struck him, triggering his memories of spoiling the players' stories.

This treasure-hunting event seems to have appeared in the original novel as well. If he remembers correctly, Princess Tang's golden left arm bone was obtained from this treasure-hunting event in the original novel. However, the timing seems to have changed.

Tsk tsk, when he saw this, he exclaimed, "Tang Shenwang is awesome! Shrek Academy is awesome! The arrangement is absolutely flawless!"
Huo Gua made himself owe the academy a huge debt, obtained a soul bone and gave it to Wang Dong, who was still a male cosplayer at the time. In the end, he even licked Tang's boots and became a loyal dog. It can only be said that the licking dog economy is conducive to promoting economic development, social progress and harmony in the mainland!
