Chapter 408: Chapter 210: Massive Copying, Establishing the Salvation Army, Sister-in-law

[Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon - Replica]

[Basic Edition Replica: Level 29 Armor-Piercing Cannon]

[Materials Required for Copying: 1 ton of Fine Steel]

[Advanced Edition Replica: Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon]

[Materials Required for Copying: 1 ton of Fine Steel, one Orange Quality Pulse Tail Cannon]

Lin Feng looked at the notification that emerged from the Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon and decided to first test the power of the Armor-Piercing Cannon.

He then got into a military jeep parked beside the Dreadnought Battleship, brought the Ion Laser Cannon along, and drove toward the heavy industry base in Jin City South.

The two locations were no more than twenty kilometers apart, which was still within the effective range of his Replicas.

After reaching Tier Three, his soaring Spiritual Attribute Value granted his Replicas a much greater effective range. The current radius of twenty kilometers equated to a large circle with a forty-kilometer diameter, enough to span across districts and cover the entire city.

Lin Feng mused that as his Spiritual Attribute Value continued to skyrocket, the effective range of his Replicas would undoubtedly expand to an even greater radius...

This would provide immense strategic depth.

For example, he could deploy troops and set up several fully armed defensive lines tens of kilometers away.

He could use Battleships or Tanks as mobile fortresses, manned by a twenty-person Awakener squad wielding Scatter Cannons, Armor-Piercing Cannons, and Electromagnetic Cannons. They could monitor and patrol a border stretching for several kilometers.

This way, the feasibility and security of establishing a permanent base in the future would both be guaranteed.

The maximum border of the territory Lin Feng ruled would be defined by the effective range of his Replicas.

’If one day I really advance to Tier Four and become a Cosmic Life form, maybe the effective range could cover more than half of Blue Star. Then I’d become the undisputed Lord of Blue Star.’

But for now, Lin Feng first had to equip his subordinates with standardized Replica equipment.

The military jeep sped along the cleared provincial highway, passing through five checkpoints along the way.

The Warriors and Support Soldiers stationed there quickly waved him through after seeing it was Lin Feng.

Before long, he arrived at his destination.

The heavy industrial district in Jin City South had massive stockpiles of Fine Steel.

It was also the production base for the Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Swords.

Before leaving for the last decisive battle, he had taken nearly five hundred tons of Fine Steel from this very place, using it to Copy dozens of Lv19 Flying Wing Tanks. They had provided a solid foundation for victory.

This time, Lin Feng was going to use it again to arm Jin City Base to the teeth.

Upon entering the familiar warehouse, Lin Feng immediately used one ton of Fine Steel to Copy a standard Lv29 Armor-Piercing Cannon.

Having reached Tier Three, the Copying process was much faster than before. With a flash of golden light from his hand, the item was created:

[Level 29 Armor-Piercing Cannon Replica, Orange Quality]

[Damage: 900, Effective Range: 10km, Reserve Ammo: 500]

[Basic Attributes: Bullet Recovery (1/s), Spatial Magazine (500 rounds), Armor-Piercing]

[Note: Effective within a 20km radius of the original. The holder receives one-tenth of the gains from any target killed. Cannot harm the holder of the original item. Basic Attributes are activated upon killing targets.]

[Note: Orange Quality weapons require at least a Tier Two Early Stage Awakener to be used properly.]

Lin Feng looked at the two-meter-long cannon in his hand. It glowed with an Orange Light and had the traditional structure of a firearm, but its barrel was the size of two fists—twice as large as the Replica Scatter Cannon.

In addition to the Damage increase to nine hundred and the doubled range, the reserve ammunition was only five hundred armor-piercing shells—a mere tenth of the capacity of the original weapon.

Fortunately, it inherited the crucial Armor-Piercing Attribute. At the very least, he wouldn’t face the awkward situation of being unable to penetrate the thick carapaces of the Tier Two Zerg Race.

Aside from the weapon’s functions, what concerned Lin Feng the most was the final note.

Orange Quality weapons could only be used properly by a corresponding Tier Two Awakener. This had already become apparent when the Level 19 Scatter Cannons were put into use.

A Lv9 Enhanced Person couldn’t handle a red-quality weapon meant for a Tier One Awakener, and even a Tier One Awakener couldn’t fire a Scatter Cannon continuously.

However, Lin Feng had no intention of letting ordinary Warriors use a superweapon like the Armor-Piercing Cannon.

Dealing with the Tier Two Zerg Race was the responsibility of the Tier Two Corps.

After Copying one, Lin Feng took the Armor-Piercing Cannon to a desolate, uninhabited area outside the factory complex that was now being used as a weapons testing ground.

He aimed at a forested hillock a kilometer away and pulled the trigger.

BOOM!

The hillock, thirty meters wide and over ten meters tall, was directly hit. The Armor-Piercing Cannon didn’t just obliterate the forest; it sheared off most of the hillside’s height.

When the smoke cleared, all that remained was a deep crater twenty meters in diameter.

With power like that, an ordinary Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg couldn’t take a single hit. Among all the Tier Two Zerg Race, only a Tier Two Peak Lv29 Tiger Spine Zerg or a Tank Flame Beetle with its heavily stacked armor could barely withstand a few shots.

After finishing the test, Lin Feng slowly lowered the Armor-Piercing Cannon.

He had fired it one-handed, without bracing it against his shoulder to mitigate the recoil. Judging from the force that traveled through the web of his hand, a single shot produced over a ton of blowback.

This meant its user would have to endure a punch with over a ton of force every time they fired. And the contact area was only the cross-section of the stock—an area about the size of a palm...

A haymaker with over a ton of force slamming into the shoulder... Even with the physical fortitude of a Tier Two Awakener, one couldn’t withstand the continuous impacts.

A Tier One Late Stage Awakened could use it, but only to fire a limited number of shells. Continuous fire would inevitably lead to a dislocation at best, and a shattered shoulder at worst.
