Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 271 Wild Sarkaz Military Industry

“Lord Wei, I can clearly sense the huge amount of magical energy surging inside this warship, like a rushing river.

The magic that the Demon King used to lead us here just now may be the secret that drives this steel giant to soar into the sky..."

As an experienced sorcerer, Minister Ning is extremely sensitive to the flow of magical energy.

Just as he walked through the long corridor, Minister Ning felt that he had walked into a powerful energy field.

Wei Yanwu's face was solemn. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the cold hull and look directly into the complex energy veins within it.

These energy flows are intricate, efficient and orderly, just like the sophisticated vascular network in a living organism, supporting every movement and reaction of this steel behemoth.

He knew very well that the ancient witchcraft rituals that had been passed down by the Sarkaz for thousands of years were still a mysterious area that had not been fully explored by the outside world.

Regarding the magic circle in the Sarkaz legend, it is a mysterious technology that can greatly enhance the effectiveness and range of witchcraft.

Wei Yanwu couldn't help but wonder whether this warship also incorporated such technology.

The official representatives of Colombia originally came with the expectation of learning the technology of the Sarkaz floating warships, intending to draw inspiration for the military's research and development of aerial weapons.

However, when they actually set foot on the battleship, they suddenly realized that the path taken by the Sarkaz was very different from the technological path that Columbia was familiar with.

The ancient Sarkaz witchcraft is undoubtedly a vast unknown world for an emerging country like Colombia.

"Director Saria, Director Muerseth, may I ask if Rhine Life has done any research on Sarkaz witchcraft?"

An elderly Columbia scientist asked the two Rhine Life leaders with a hint of expectation and curiosity.

Saria shook her head slightly, a hint of apology in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I don't know much about this. The application of Originium technology is the research direction of Director Dorothy."

Saria was certain that she had not received any funding for Sarkaz witchcraft research requested by any of her subordinate departments, but she did not know whether any individual had privately funded the research.

Upon hearing this, the old scientist couldn't help but sigh, secretly feeling that time is unforgiving.

I no longer have the energy to venture into this new field and can only place my hopes on the younger generation’s exploration and discovery.

Compared with the exploration of floating technology, Witt's attention has always been focused on the battleship's firepower system.

Especially the main gun with amazing caliber, its size is far larger than the conventional main gun on the Ursus high-speed battleship, and can even be compared with the Gustav cannon on the wall of Fort Saint Stein.

During the "Great Rebellion", these huge cannons destroyed countless warships and lives of the Ursus Army.

Every time a shell fell, it would raise a cloud of dirt, snow, and steel fragments that covered the sky.

Generally speaking, in order to balance the effects of recoil and weight on maneuverability, the caliber of naval guns on high-speed warships is strictly limited.

If you want to increase the destructive power, most people will work on the ammunition. However, the Sarkaz warship chose a simple and crude way - increasing the caliber.

This idea coincides with the ideas of some Ursus military scientists.

At Roy's signal, Manfred led the tour group to the cabin where the main gun was located.

When the gunners and engineers saw His Royal Highness and the General in person, they immediately stopped their work, lined up in an orderly manner, and waited for instructions.

The peculiarly shaped turret and gun body instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the breeze from the high altitude blew into the room through the open hull.

As everyone slowly approached the battery and prepared to take a closer look, the Duke of Windermere, who had rich experience in naval operations, keenly discovered something unusual.

"Mr. Roy, I noticed that this naval gun seems to have no shells or loading ports. Does it use some special design?"

After being reminded by the Duke of Windermere, other representatives also noticed this detail.

In this spacious cabin, there is nothing else except the huge turret and gun body, as well as the complex recoil compensation device.

The several buckled metal boxes neatly placed next to the gun platform might just be tool boxes for the combatants.

"Haha... I didn't expect the Duke of Windermere to be so observant." Roy said with a smile, and then he personally revealed the answer to everyone, "This cannon is indeed a little different. It doesn't use conventional shells."

Under the puzzled gazes of the representatives of various countries, Roy bent down to open the metal box and took out a long hexagonal box. Witt frowned and asked in confusion: "Mr. Roy, is this the so-called 'cannonball'?"

The Duke of Windermere was also surprised. She could not imagine that a naval gun of such caliber could have such a small "shell".

"I guess so." Roy's lips curled up into a mysterious smile. He slowly opened the outer shell of the long box, revealing the pure bright orange crystal inside which was firmly fixed by a metal frame.

One after another, a total of ten pure Originium stones shone brightly in front of everyone's eyes, and they emitted a faint and mysterious light like breathing.

Roy found an expandable metal plate on the turret, aligned it with the hexagonal hole in the middle, and inserted the Pure Originium together with the fixed frame.

A low humming sound was heard, and blood-red lines spread from the loading port, quickly covering the entire gun body.

"These Sarkaz are simply crazy..." Representatives from various countries who realized what was happening cursed in their hearts at the same time.

Ten pieces of pure Originium, enough to ensure the short-term operation of a mobile city or the long-term navigation of a land-based ship, were stuffed into the ship-borne weapons.

If the gun explodes due to a firing error, even the cremation step will be skipped.

But besides the fear of death, an inexplicable sense of excitement surged in my heart.

They were also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of horrific destructive power such a crazy weapon could cause.

"Considering that this is a performance shooting, only a portion of the Pure Originium will be needed."

Roy opened the remaining three loading ports one by one, which meant that ten pure Originium stones were not the limit of this cannon.

"Hiss! The Sarkaz military industry is so wild."

......

After visiting the most important main gun, everyone came to the battleship's command room.

Roy said that now that the ammunition had been loaded, he had to find a place to test the gun.

"Manfred, order the battleship to head east." Following Roy's order, the battleship turned its huge body and quickly sailed away from the mobile city.

Theresa, who stayed at the opening ceremony, watched the warship leave with a proud smile on her face. She was full of confidence in the performance of the warship.

Roy and a group of senior officials boarded the ship and left, and Theresa stayed behind to take charge of the situation.

This is a good opportunity to listen to the views and opinions of the public on the future development direction of Kazdel.
