Chapter 238 Railgun

Floor 26, sniping spot.

"Level 1 preparation... complete!"

"Level 2 preparation... complete!"

"Charging complete... awaiting electromagnetic acceleration."

As Makise Kurisu issued her commands, arcs of electricity began to emanate from the electromagnetic cannon. The increased electromagnetic force put immense pressure on this "hand-crafted" gadget, whose various functions were still incomplete.

Ryu gripped the trigger tightly, extremely nervous.

"Target suspected of entering attack position... Adjust final gun distance!" Empty hand landed on [ST], using the video zoom function to capture the monster's landing point.

The smoke cleared.

Zagnat's right leg was shattered. It struggled to raise its head, trying to get up again, but the loss of its hind leg caused it to stumble.

When it sensed the terrifying magic gathering, it instinctively lit up its magical armor, its crimson eyes trembling as it looked toward the cannon muzzle.

It stopped, its eyes seemingly filled with a hint of mockery.

A bead of sweat trickled down Ryu's forehead as she watched Zagnat's movements intently.

Kong frowned. Logically, they could have opened fire already, but Bai remained silent.

Bai popped the bubble he had blown, smacked his lips, and pulled the bubble gum back into his mouth.

"The position is slightly off; the muzzle should be 15 degrees upward."

This is a bit difficult because it's a makeshift operation and they don't have any electronic components to control the muzzle angle, so all they can do is...

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Kong simply lifted the cannon muzzle onto his shoulder.

"Ready!" Bai raised his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"emission!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu pulled the trigger.

A massive electric magnetic field erupted in an instant, and the terrifying current propelled the metal cannonball in the barrel out at an alarming speed.

The astonishing initial acceleration caused intense friction between the shell and the air, and a faint streak of crimson light flashed by.

boom--

Xia Jia imagined he would see an exaggerated lightning ray, as dazzling as Misaka Mikoto's, but in reality, when he saw the electromagnetic cannon attack, there was no such special effect.

The electromagnetic railgun fired silently, and the projectiles were launched in a flash, catching the user completely off guard.

Only when the warhead collides with hard metal will it generate enormous heat energy, eventually shattering the warhead and ejecting metal fragments.

Once an electromagnetic railgun reaches an initial speed of Mach 10 and has its target in sight, there is virtually no chance of evasion.

Although adventurers' reaction speed and movement speed change dramatically as they level up, it's said that second-tier adventurers can already move at near-sonic speeds. Zagnat would obviously be a bit faster.

But the speed of sound is only equivalent to Mach 1...

With a speed difference of 10 times,

Before anyone could react, Zagnat's forehead was blasted to pieces. Shaga even saw a terrifying 30cm deep hole in the ground behind it.

Silent for a long time.

"Fuck..."

Xia Jia silently uttered two words.

Forgive my lack of education; all I can say to express my current feelings is "Holy crap!"

Shaga was glad she hadn't used the door to reposition the artillery; with that initial velocity, even a slight deviation would cause the attack to miss.

If it weren't for Bai's precision, comparable to that of a humanoid computer, this crude electromagnetic cannon might not have been able to hit a moving target like this at all.

"They really didn't even have time to react before they died."

Ryu even blinked, she didn't know what had happened, she only saw Zagnat shudder and then his head disappeared.

"It... just died like that?"

Bai blew another bubble: "Dead, dead."

Another bead of sweat dripped from Liu's forehead: "This is terrifying, absolutely terrifying. With this power, even a level 7 wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!"

At this moment, another voice rang out:

"Yes, even I wouldn't dare say I could remain calm in the face of such an attack."

"Oh? Isn't this Professor Leon?" Kong picked at his ear.

The person who came was Leon, who had been entrusted by Shaga to take care of him.

Initially, he was prepared to take action to rescue, but he had been warned by Xia Jia that he only needed to take care of Jifeng and himself, so he had not yet made a move until everything had settled down before slowly revealing himself.

Leon carefully examined the electromagnetic cannon and commented, "Its attack strength is roughly at the upper level of level 7, but its firing rate exceeds that of a level 7 sniper. It can be said that once locked on, there is almost no possibility of evasion."

"The only attack I've seen similar to it was from Barol..."

Bai squinted his eyes: "Baror, the One-Eyed King, the floor master of the 49th floor."

Kong's lips curled up: "This will probably be the next target."

Xia Jia glanced sideways at Kong... Hey, don't get cocky, you're still only level 1.

Makise Kurisu, the designer and maker of the railgun, commented with her arms crossed:

"The power is immense, but the consumption is enormous. This is equivalent to the total magic reserves of 10 level 7 characters. Moreover, there is no guidance, no aiming, not even sliding tracks or a knob for turning the head."

"If the school district's magnetic levitation technology were not relatively mature, and the required energy storage equipment were not already very sophisticated, the circuitry and energy storage batteries needed to support such an electromagnetic gun would require at least two rooms."

She concluded, "Well... it's basically a magical version of a large-caliber sniper rifle now. The best way to use it is still to carry it and shoot."

Carrying...

Shaka considered the image; adventurers in the DanMachi world could indeed carry such a thing on their backs, but...

"I have a way..."

Makise Kurisu was stunned. "Isn't your thing supposed to be impossible to aim at?"

Xia Jia gave an awkward laugh: "If you can't aim accurately, you can use firepower to cover the enemy. Three thousand Great Thousand Heavenly Demon Kings... how about it?"

Makise Kurisu gasped as she recalled the volley of musket fire that Shaka had unleashed earlier.

Shaga chuckled and said, "Assistant, then I'll trouble you to build a few more of these cannons! I'll invest in them!"

Leon was also taken aback for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh:

"It seems I can't speak to you like a teacher anymore... Natsumi."

"What?"

I'm afraid you'll fire a bolt of lightning at me, like an electromagnetic cannon sweeping the ground... Leon smiled without saying a word.

Xia Jia, however, did not have such thoughts. He felt that his strength and trump cards were for the enemy. As for his own people and allies who could help him, there was only one thing he needed to do.

Shagana bowed deeply, saying, "May Professor Leon live forever, and reign supreme in the martial world! Please continue to regard me as your 'student'! I am also very grateful for Professor Leon's care this time."

Just kidding, this is a "guide" who is hopelessly good to students, a knight among knights. Such a good enforcer, why not take him?

Leon scratched his face: "Don't be like that, I didn't do anything. Not only did this new weapon catch my eye, but Xia... Squad Leader Xia's strength also impressed me."

"Oh, it's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching."

"You're too kind. I haven't been teaching you anything, but I have a shameless request to make."

"what?"

Leon said awkwardly, "I hope to sell the technology for this weapon to the school district..."

Chapter 239 Short of money? Then please ask the Dark Faction to work harder.

"School district? Didn't the school district already have magic cannons installed?"

Shaga's first thought was this, but he quickly realized that although those magic cannons were also very powerful, their energy utilization rate was obviously incomparable to that of electromagnetic cannons.

In addition, the school district already has its own magnetic levitation device, which saves the need for a device to convert magic.

Xia Jia thought for a moment... The school district's goal is to travel around the world, clear out monsters from the ground, and even guard Dragon Valley. If a dozen or so electromagnetic cannons are deployed, then most monsters should be able to be dealt with.

Leviathan is unclear, but if a subspecies emerges, they should be able to put up a fight with their electromagnetic cannons. The question is, does the school district have enough magical reserves to fire so many electromagnetic cannons at once?

With that thought in mind, Xia Jia nodded and said, "No problem. You can have it."

The cooperation with the school district has always been pleasant, and with their deep pockets, they certainly won't treat Shaga unfairly.

Leon smiled warmly: "That's wonderful. If you need anything, just call me anytime. There's nothing else here, so I'll head back and tell the principal."

"Respectfully seeing off the teacher!" Xia Jia performed a knightly salute.
