Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 229 Attack
"This is a specially made bomb. The fuse is controlled by Nini's biological fuse. Its weight is also specially designed, roughly the weight of two soldiers carrying equipment. As for its power, I haven't tested a bomb of this equivalent yet."

Chloe said with her eyes shining.

Well, another bomb enthusiast.

Xiu Si couldn't help but sigh. Ever since Nini discovered that bombs could effectively kill sea urchins, many people have begun to study this gorgeous weapon.

The concept of equivalent proposed by Hughes was also sought after by them, and this situation became more and more serious when the extraordinary people found that they had ways to avoid the dangers posed by bombs.

Banshees can use the healing effects of Symbiotic Pact to offset the damage of bombs. They are almost using it as a melee weapon, and weapons with a shorter range than damage area are their favorites.

The Fire Moths were even more outrageous. Zeus had seen Chloe use her Stand ability before. She seemed to have the ability to switch places between her real body and her Stand. Zeus had observed her fighting with bombs. She would just hold the bombs and go wherever there were more people.

Having been blown up so many times, even though the fishmen and arm monsters are now fearless, they will not rush forward when they see Chloe.

What is this? Is it causing the other party to feel instinctive fear?

In short, Castel's fighters now have more or less some equivalent worship. It is said that Alexi almost wrote this into the holy scriptures.

"So you plan to turn this airship into a disposable explosive?"

“That’s not impossible.”

Chloe said a little embarrassedly.

Oh no, are you really planning a kamikaze attack?
Oh, think about it, Kamikaze attacks are also biological fuses, so it can be considered a coincidence.

"Of course, I designed the bombing system, and I still intend to fly the airship back. Anyway, let's test it out first. If we can successfully take off, we'll win!"

Chloe was very excited, this was her first time studying something that could fly.

The technology tree of this world has not yet reached the point of aircraft, and humans have not yet touched the sky.

The banshees gathered around and lifted the airship to an open area in the test site, which was right next to the wall, perfect for trying to drop a bomb.

For some reason, the fishmen and arm monsters were not very enthusiastic about attacking the eastern test site. They seemed to be more interested in the cathedral. No one knew what attracted them.

This airship is a rigid airship with a wooden frame and a layer of skin on the outside.

The airship is equipped with independent airbags inside, so even if some of the airbags leak, the airship will not fall directly.

Originally, Hughes considered using metal, such as steel, to make the frame, but the weight was too high and it could only be used on large airships. If a lightweight metal like aluminum was used, the production volume would not be enough.

Aluminum is a very special metal. If it is not prepared by electrolysis, it is very difficult to obtain. If you try to electrolyze aluminum, it requires a lot of electricity.

Power plants and power facilities need to be built simultaneously. The technology tree on the island is still some distance away from this step, so it can only be stopped regretfully.

Steel also has its advantages. At least there is no need to worry about its strength, and it is also quite easy to obtain. Chloe also said that after the test flight of the airship is successful, she will start to manufacture large airships.

The banshees set up the airship and poured hydrogen into it. The preparation of this gas was not difficult. Castel had a lot of sulfur ores, and by modifying the sulfuric acid production line, it was not a problem to prepare a small amount of hydrogen.

The steam bags that were brought in gradually deflated, and the balloon of the airship gradually rose up, no longer needing the banshees to hold it up.

Chloe and Nini discussed for a while, then Chloe lowered her head and activated [Self-binding], and Zeus also shared the vision.

He was already accustomed to this kind of high-altitude view, but it was a novelty for the Banshees. Their group chat was already flooded with comments, and the few screenshots they posted drew amazement from many. It seemed likely that the Fire Moth's Transcendents would soon be harassed by the Banshees.

After several people brought the bomb, they hung it in the basket under the airship. Then, following Chloe's instructions, Nini controlled the sea snake and pulled the joystick. After cutting the rope below, the airship flew up wobbly.

"Success!"

"Wow, it really flew up, and it's so big."

“I really want to go up and take a look!”

The banshees began to cheer, looking up at the airship gradually turning into a small dot in the sky, and then they all joined Chloe's perspective, watching the airship's progress from high above.

"Higher, oh, higher."

"Can you turn it the other way? Yes, just turn the propeller on one side. Wait, that's the tail, and the rounder one is the head!"

The view angle was raised, Chloe kept giving instructions to Nini, and Nini also controlled the sea snake to make fine adjustments. Soon, the airship gradually left the top of the eastern test site.

"Speaking of which, where is the gathering place for monsters around here?"

"It seems to be to the west." Several banshees discussed for a while and replied to Xiu Si: "It's relatively close to the cathedral. I'll send a screenshot from the group."

Zeus took a quick look and saw that it was an open space between the main church and the eastern test field, where many arm monsters were gathered.

The Crusaders don't have any good way to deal with the arm monsters, and mostly rely on throwing explosive packs to solve the problem. This type of explosive with a fixed fuse is indeed very effective in killing arm monsters, but it is difficult to control. Fortunately, the monsters are large enough and can be used with some effort.

We must develop a reliable artillery.

Chloe also noticed that side, and with the cooperation of Nini, the airship flew over there shakily.

Soon, the airship arrived above the gathering point of the monsters, and then slowly descended in altitude.

Some fishmen had noticed the airship in the sky. They looked up at it, but there was nothing they could do.

When Chloe was about to drop the bomb, Hughes suddenly received a message from Ash.

"My Lord, why don't we move the airship to another location?"

"Ash? What's wrong?"

Unlike other curious Banshees, Ash rarely contacts Zeus on her own initiative, and she participates less frequently in such experiments.

And she was in the cathedral, responsible for cooperating with the guards of the Crusaders in battle.

"Our cathedral is under attack, and a large number of arm monsters have emerged on the front battlefield, making it a bit tricky."

Hughes zoomed out. The area over there was almost at the limit of Chloe's ability. He turned his gaze over there and took a deep breath.

This wave of monsters' attack is too exaggerated! ?
