Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 196: Level 27 Melta Cannon, Shocking the Wolf Pack
This weapons experiment attracted many people.

The main thing is Lin Feng, the rising second-level strongman, and his curious identity as a firearms psychic.

Many ordinary residents and desert dwellers have only occasionally heard of the great power of firearms, but have never seen it with their own eyes.

Some evolvers who can go to the Holy City and the high-level officials who rule the Oasis are more aware of the power of firearms.

Just from hearsay, this ability is exaggerated to be miraculous. What's more, it is said that a third-level gun king can fire an extinction shot with a power comparable to that of a nuclear bomb.

He can easily seriously injure or directly kill other kings of the same level, and has established a great reputation among the third-level kings.

In this era when third-level kings don’t appear, second-level ones are the strongest evolvers that everyone can see, and those with gun abilities among them are the strongest among the strong.

In the holy city ahead, there has always been a consensus that the late second-stage firearms ability user is the number one person under the third-stage king.

It's a pity that it's extremely difficult for firearms ability users to advance. Their ability awakening trials are almost all cross-level challenges. Their numbers are very small, and there are even fewer who pass.

Most of them are only at the first level of strength, and second-level firearms ability users are extremely rare.

Especially when he was promoted to the third level in the late second level, throughout history, there has never been a second gun king except the first generation.

Now, Lin Feng has been promoted to a second-level strongman in two months, and he is also a highly-anticipated firearms expert, which naturally attracted people from all sides to come and have a look.

Churches, guilds, and the heads of various clans all had some understanding of the characteristics of gun users. For example, the reason they could defeat powerful enemies across levels was because they had awakened a killer move:
At the cost of overdraft status, it releases destructive power far beyond the current evolutionary level.

It is precisely because of this that gun-wielding mutants have the confidence to fight against higher-level beings. Even in many large settlements, gun-wielding mutants are regarded as powerful beings of a higher level.

For example, the treatment in the late stage of the first stage is the same as that in the early stage of the second stage.

In the late second stage, one can possess the tremendous power and status of a third-stage king.

Lin Feng has now become a second-stage early-stage evolver. In just two days, he has advanced two levels in a row, becoming a twenty-second-level evolver, solidifying his second-stage status...

According to the world's opinion, Lin Feng at this moment is comparable to a mid-second stage, a level 25 evolver, and is stronger than Father Su An who has just been promoted to the mid-second stage.

In terms of evolutionary level, he is second only to the church's bishop Zhang Hui and the Li family's patriarch Li Hao.

Become the third most important person in Oasis Town.

If measured by specific strength, Lin Feng is definitely stronger than the aging bishop, and is on par with the middle-aged Li Hao, and they are evenly matched in strength.

One is mainly offensive, the other is mainly defensive.

In terms of the confrontation between spear and shield, the spear that can cause damage is naturally superior.

So now Lin Feng has become the only existence in Oasis Town in terms of the destructive power of his military power.

As long as he wanted, he could use the cannon in his hand to easily paralyze the Oasis warship and destroy the entire Oasis settlement.

Lin Feng conducted this weapons experiment in order to allow some people in Oasis Town who still didn't take it seriously to feel his own power firsthand.

Only after the demonstration will it be more advantageous for Lin Feng to sit on the sidelines and reap the greatest benefits during this rebellion.

At this moment, holding the several-ton cannon in his left and right hands, Lin Feng looked at the reminder that popped up in front of him, silently consumed ten points of health, and started this assembly and synthesis.

As a force was drawn out from his body and flowed into the cannons in his left and right hands, a faint orange light appeared on the surface of the two level 22 weapons and gradually merged together.

At this moment, a new reminder popped up in front of Lin Feng:
Note: The span of this assembly synthesis is relatively large, so you can choose the direction of synthetic reinforcement.

「Optional direction: firing rate, bullet speed, power」

Lin Feng decisively chose power because this was the direction with the most deterrent effect.

Then another column of detailed directions popped up:
"Direction of shell power: shock wave, number of fragments, and central flame temperature"

Seeing this option, Lin Feng was immediately in trouble.

Fortunately, he quickly recalled the contents of the military magazine he had read.

For the evolvers, the improvement of mental attributes brought about by evolution can make it easy for the brain to remember everything it sees.

The introduction about the damage caused by artillery shells quickly appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

The damage caused by artillery shells is actually mainly caused by fragments produced by the explosion, such as metal jets after penetrating armor or bunkers.

The metal jet with a temperature of thousands of degrees can shatter anything, or cause direct damage by high-speed fragments.

The effective killing range of a shell is also calculated based on the farthest killing distance of the fragments.

After a shell explodes, it can produce thousands of fragments of various sizes. Therefore, even if you are 20 or 30 meters away from the center of the explosion, you will still be hit by the flying fragments, and it is common to lose hands and feet.

Therefore, in the past, artillery shells used fragments as an effective means of killing. As for shock waves and explosion flame temperature, the energy of the former decayed too quickly and the latter had a limited range, so they could only be used as a supplement.

Unless it is an aerial bomb measured in tons, the shock wave can cause efficient killing. For example, the fuel-air bomb, known as the king of bombs, can evacuate the air within hundreds of meters through secondary combustion, and create a large vacuum negative pressure area through shock waves, effectively killing enemies hiding behind cover.

However, this effect is only effective for ordinary humans. The physical fitness of the evolvers has been strengthened many times, and their internal organs have undergone a qualitative leap.

The oxygen-free environment and negative pressure vacuum alone cannot kill the evolvers, especially the second-level strongmen. Their immortal bodies have super recovery abilities and their cells can divide infinitely.

Even if 30% of the trunk tissue is damaged in a short period of time, it can quickly proliferate and recover, but the consumption is a bit high.

As for the direct explosion and fire damage, it is undoubtedly fatal to carbon-based life.

The flames at the center of the explosion, with a temperature of four to five thousand or even higher, can effectively kill all cell tissues.

Even the gene protein chains containing genetic information can be burned to charcoal and turned into ashes on the spot.

So in the old Earth period, after the catastrophe broke out, humans used aerial bombs, white phosphorus bombs, and gasoline bombs weighing several tons to bomb tens of thousands of rolling beasts.

With the power of raging fire, burn everything.

As for the more powerful third-order king beast, it uses the third-generation nuclear weapon neutron bomb to directly purify all living things within a radius of 500 meters.

As a fusion hydrogen bomb, the temperature at the center of the explosion of a neutron bomb is as high as 80 to 100 million degrees, which can instantly vaporize all matter.

At this temperature, not to mention the third-level king, even the gods who rule the wasteland probably can't withstand it.

Even if it fails to hit the target accurately, the high temperature heat wave generated by the explosion can sweep across an area of ​​several kilometers, ensuring that the temperature within 500 meters of the explosion center is maintained at tens of thousands of degrees, which can melt all substances. The residual power within two kilometers will also be thousands of degrees, burning all enemies.

Therefore, when targeting advanced evolved forms, the blazing explosion flames and high temperatures that are enough to melt everything are actually more effective than any other form of attack.

As for traditional shrapnel damage, a first-level evolver fully armed with armor can easily withstand it. If he wants to deal with a second-level strongman assisted by power armor, he will suffer no harm at all.

Unless it can hit directly.

But for a second-level evolver whose basic movement speed is as high as 100 meters per second and can exceed 200 meters per second with the enhancement of power armor, Lin Feng is not very confident of hitting the target accurately from one kilometer away.

Therefore, the damage from shrapnel and metal jets was not a consideration. Therefore, the best offensive method against Evolvers, especially high-level Evolvers, was to use the flames from the exploding shells to directly engulf and incinerate them.

That is to expand the coverage of central damage.

The explosion center, which originally covered five meters, was expanded to ten meters and twenty meters!

It took a few seconds for Lin Feng to quickly confirm the direction of detailed strengthening, which was to increase the temperature of the flame at the center of the explosion!
With the confirmation of the reinforcement, the speed of assembly and synthesis increased instantly, and the two cannons shrouded in orange light began to undergo a second fusion.

Lin Feng could already vaguely feel that the temperature of the weapon in his hand was rapidly rising.

The temperature on the surface is around 70 or 80 degrees, and the core part inside is estimated to have condensed and risen to hundreds of degrees.

Fortunately, Lin Feng was wearing power armor, which could provide outer protection.

According to the functional properties, the power armor can withstand temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Celsius and temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius, greatly expanding the wearer's adaptability to the environment.

As the orange light flashed by, a brand new cannon appeared in Lin Feng's hand. Looking at the sci-fi super new weapon in front of him, even Lin Feng, who was always calm, showed a look of surprise on his face.

At this moment, the cannon is about two and a half meters long, and the firing part at the widest point is half a meter long. Lin Feng, who is two meters and three meters tall and wearing power armor, has to hold it with one hand and embrace it with the other to use it in combat smoothly.

The newly synthesized weapon weighs nearly twenty tons, which is equivalent to the total weight of the original two cannons. It is still a bit heavy for Lin Feng, who has now evolved to the twenty-second level and possesses a strength of more than twenty tons.

But with the help of power armor, swinging and turning becomes extremely convenient.

At the same time, the power armor also scanned and connected the attribute data of the new weapon, and listed it on the digital display in front of it.

Lin Feng had already branded the power armor he was wearing during the upgrade, and since they were both branded weapons and equipment, the data of both sides were already interconnected.

Therefore, the data originally displayed by the system can be seamlessly transferred to the intelligent digital display of the power armor.

When Lin Feng saw the above introduction, even his breathing gradually became heavy:

"Melta Cannon Lv. 27, Orange Quality, Brand"

"Basic Attributes: Damage 700, Effective Range 2km, Damage Coverage 35m, 10 Rounds Remaining; Temporary Synthesis, Duration Minutes"

「额外属性：备弹回复1/1h；空间弹匣10枚；范围杀伤(覆盖半径35米，中心20米伤害700)」

"New additional properties: hot melt liquefaction; high temperature incineration"

"Heated Magma: The condensed reactant can raise the explosion temperature to 100 degrees, melting alloys and soil, causing severe secondary damage. Damage +, and the high temperature burning lasts for more than five minutes."

High-temperature elimination (within 20 meters of the explosion center, the temperature will reach over 500 degrees, carbonizing all traces of biological protein. Even the genetic contamination of a third-level king can be completely eliminated)

"Note: After ten minutes, the temporary assembly effect will be lifted, and the level 27 melta-annihilator cannon will be degraded back to the level 22 high-explosive rapid-fire cannon and the level 22 armor-piercing cannon."

After reading the data introduction, Lin Feng took more than ten seconds to gradually calm down and analyze the new effects brought about by this assembly and synthesis.

In fact, by now, Lin Feng has already vaguely realized that the changes in the branding ability when he was promoted to the second level are actually a verification of the current weapons and future upgrade ideas.

That is to say, check an upgrade route in advance and see what the final result will be.

The very heavy level 27 melta annihilator cannon in his hand is the final effect of continuously strengthening the damage at the center of the explosion.

A terrifying weapon that can destroy everything within a radius of twenty meters.

The temperature is 500 degrees. Even if you are wearing power armor, you will be cooked even if you hide underground.

However, after infinitely strengthening the damage at the center of the explosion, other attributes also have corresponding shortcomings and disadvantages.

For example, the original ten-kilometer range has now been shortened to two kilometers, and the ammunition capacity of the space magazine has been reduced by a hundred times from the previously unlimited one thousand shells to only ten heat-capacity energy cannons.

Fortunately, the damage of the energy cannon is strong enough, a total of 800 points of damage, enough to kill any second-level evolver.

Even those in the late second stage, or even the upper limit of the twenty-ninth level evolvers, cannot withstand the shells that can melt everything.

As for other aspects, the original attributes such as rapid shooting are also difficult to continue to exist. If the melta cannon can still fire quickly, wouldn’t it be able to harvest a lot of late-stage second-level evolvers?

Judging from the effect of the hot melt, it is estimated that the launch tube was melted before this was achieved.

As for armor penetration, there has been a qualitative improvement. After all, the hot melt effect is much stronger than the previous penetration.

In the past, the hardness of the tungsten core was used to make a hole in the thick armor, and then the metal jet was used to kill the enemy inside the armor.

And now, the melting effect of hot melt, relying on its own high temperature of 5,000 degrees, can directly melt a super large hole on the armor.

The difference between the two is like the difference between a bullet drilling and a cannonball blasting, a hundred times greater.

So even with the problems of a shorter range, less ammunition, and a slow firing rate, Lin Feng was still quite satisfied with it. He immediately raised the muzzle and aimed it at the depths of the wasteland on the right side of Oasis Avenue...

Locked onto a small hill 1.5 kilometers away.

He decisively pulled the trigger button, the only part of the cannon that still retained traces of a gun.

A focused energy cannon filled with high-energy material was fired after accumulating energy, leaving a red beam of light on the desolate land...

One and a half kilometers away, a loud bang suddenly occurred on a small hill only sixty or seventy meters high, followed by a burst of flames shooting into the sky. The red and yellow flames spread in the shape of a fireball, covering the entire mountain.

At this moment, the area within five meters of the explosion center was heated to 5,000 degrees, and all the matter was vaporized on the spot, leaving only a large area of ​​fiery red magma.

The scorching flames swept over, covering the upper half of the hill, and the area within twenty meters above and below the mountainside was plunged into a high-temperature hell of 500 degrees.

After four or five seconds, the shock wave gradually dissipated.

A mushroom cloud of smoke and dust with a diameter of 30 meters slowly rose hundreds of meters into the sky.

At this moment, it was deep in the wilderness, seven or eight kilometers away.

The nearly 10,000 wolves that had just migrated here, including the leader Wolf Ao and his three giant wolf offspring, all showed expressions of horror when they heard the thunder-like explosion and the rising mushroom cloud.

Especially Lang Ao, who has lived for thousands of years...

After seeing this scene, its thoughts were pulled into a long-forgotten memory.

That was the great catastrophe during the old earth period.

It followed the old wolf king and was attacked by missiles from the United States of North America...

The scene at this moment is just like the feeling at that time!
　I have to drive back to my hometown tomorrow. It's 1,500 kilometers from Shandong to Hunan. I will leave at six in the morning. If I don't make it in time, I will need to take a day off.

　　Stable updates during the Chinese New Year.
