Huh? Is it still a lot short?

That's already a lot, okay?!

What was it like before?

At this moment, Mona, who prided herself on being knowledgeable, felt like a country bumpkin in the face of this scene.

What scene haven’t I seen?

I've never seen anything like this before.

"There was no other way. The situation at the front was a bit tense, so we managed to bring some people over. All the robots went to the front to fill in the gaps."

"So, the ship wasn't completed on time because it was missing robots?"

Beidou pointed to the distant ship whose progress hadn't changed much.

"That's secondary. The main issue is that we're facing resource shortages, and our limited steel supply needs to be provided to the front lines."

Chapter 167 The Times Have Gone Spicy Again!

"Do you need any help? Southern Cross is an armed fleet that also undertakes security operations."

However, given the current situation on the front lines of Bayun Island, apart from Beidou himself, everyone else is probably just can only be sent to their deaths.

With the doctor's assistance, the opponent's equipment upgrade and iteration speed was also quite fast.

For example, the elemental cannon has been iterated once in a short period of time. Although the power of the new generation of elemental cannon has not changed, the propellant has been combined with gunpowder, resulting in a longer range, faster speed, and less energy consumption.

—I don’t know if this can be considered a special version of a low-end electrothermal cannon. In addition to the original lightning element, the newly added gunpowder will also have an overload reaction with the lightning element’s firing energy. The elemental reaction is precisely controlled within a reasonable range, maximizing its power without directly destroying the elemental cannon itself.

For example, the latest generation of defensive barriers.

In contrast, Jiang Ming's side seemed to be lagging behind. Apart from having an additional cannon of a larger caliber and upgrading the robot's intelligent program, they hadn't come up with any new tricks.

They have very limited control over the power of the elements; they are better at using elemental forces for precision processing and control before mass production.

This is completely different from the route the doctor chose, which involved direct conversion and the use of elemental forces.

It is difficult to judge which is stronger or weaker at this stage.

After all, based on the existing intelligence, the Doctor's output is highly dependent on the factories in Zhidong's country. The specific production costs are still unclear, but the transportation costs through space teleportation are considerable.

When the Fools have something to do, they really go all out, and their efficiency is truly high. It's rare to create such a testing ground, and they immediately start throwing resources at it like crazy, which is truly the behavior of whales.

On the other hand, Jiangming's side already had limited resources and was subject to others' control. After the war broke out, its transportation capacity decreased, which severely restricted production.

Given the unequal resources available to both sides, it is difficult to assess which approach is stronger or weaker, or which is more correct.

The island of Haiji is now pinning its hopes on Hokuto and his crew to bring new supplies, especially rare materials not found in Inazuma's native lands, in order to develop and deploy new equipment.

And here it is, already!

"No need for help. With the supplies you all sent, I believe we are not far from breaking this deadlock."

"is it?"

"This batch of materials will be urgently transformed into our weapon to break the deadlock today."

Upon hearing this, Beidou turned around and looked at the boxes being unloaded from the ship.

It's a batch of materials shipped from Mondstadt. I heard they've been named the Star Silver Superconductor here, and they're in a real hurry to get it.

Beihai Chuan Shang also complained about the Mondstadt people's "laissez-faire" freedom because the output of this batch of materials was not ideal, and finally had to hire a team of workers from Liyue at a high price.

Even so, after deducting the travel time, there wasn't much time left for production. Hokusawa mobilized almost every craftsman he could find to accomplish this.

The synthesized materials, along with raw materials such as Star Silver Ore, were packaged and delivered together.

To be honest, with her imagination, she had no idea how this batch of...unremarkable materials would become the key to breaking the deadlock.

Although it has a strong affinity for lightning, it's useless for anything else; using it as a weapon is not as good as using ordinary white iron.

Even if it's loaded into a gun, it's still not as powerful as bullets made of copper or steel.

Looking at Beidou's expression, Jiang Ming took the initiative to speak, "If you're interested, it's not impossible to go and watch the game in a couple of days. However, we are not responsible for your safety."

"Hahaha, you really understand me!"

Beidou patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder in a casual manner.

Jiang Ming withdrew his body without making a sound.

With this boss's strength in slaying sea monsters, even a few casual moves from her would be too much for his small frame to handle.

"Excuse me, may I go too?"

From a distance came a slightly hesitant voice.

The group turned to look and saw Mona, who had followed them off the boat.

"Hello, I am Astrologis Mona Megistus. If you can't remember my name, just call me Mona."

"Hello, I know you. Someone has already told me about your arrival."

"Huh? Is that an old woman?" Mona's expression changed to surprise.

"No, he's your master's friend."

"Ah, that's it..."

Mona was surprised that the old lady actually cared about her!

"However, regarding your wish to observe the battle, I can only say that there is a certain degree of danger involved. It would be best to stay in the rear."

"Hey, don't look down on me! Although I'm not good at combat, I do have the Eye of God! If all else fails, I can always run away! I heard that the Shogunate army has some new life-saving stuff that shouldn't even exist. I want to go and see it."

"You still want to go and take a look at the other side's position?"

Jiang Ming stared at Mona in disbelief.

"What's wrong? I'm very agile!"

Are you kidding me? If she enters the bubble, even an old woman wouldn't be able to catch her, right? Let alone a mere Shogunate soldier?

Even if the Fatui's executor came, she was confident she could escape!

Moreover, she tried it, and her ability to predict her own crises was effective.

With all these safeguards combined, wouldn't she be able to dangle through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single petal on her?

"I'm not kidding, but shells don't have eyes. Can you outrun a fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing projectile with an initial velocity of Mach 12?"

What is Mach?

Why has she never heard of it?

"That's twelve times the speed of sound."

"what???"

Mona opened her mouth wide.

Twelve times...the speed of sound?

“I know you have astrology skills and can predict dangers, but no one can say for sure what unexpected situations might arise. You have to go to the front lines, and even near the enemy's positions. If a shell were to hit you, would you have time to react?”

"I……"

It seems like it's really too late.

Twelve times the speed of sound!

If you do the math, it's...

Over 4,000 meters per second?!

Even if a needle hit me at that speed, I would be bruised and battered, right?

It's not a god, what could possibly have such a fast attack speed!

Aside from those attacks that tear through space, there's nothing faster than this, right?

At this moment, Mona, who was completely unaware of the situation on Haiji Island and the recent arms race between the two sides, felt for the first time that "times have changed".

Even Beidou, standing to the side, couldn't help but lean back tactically.

This... she thought it was at most something a little more powerful than the grenades from last time, and she was still confident that she could block it. She thought that the thing couldn't hurt her at all. How come there's suddenly such a fast monster?

She suddenly hesitated.

"In particular, this is the first time we have tried a new tactic and the first time we have used new equipment. The equipment was designed in a very tight timeframe, and many functions are not yet perfect. The internal visibility is also not good, which makes it easier for friendly fire to occur."

Chapter 168 High-end equipment often adopts a simple design.

Actually, Jiang Ming exaggerated a bit.

Armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds, commonly known as steel needles, are not very effective in modern Teyvat missiles.

On Earth, this thing was mainly used to penetrate main battle tanks with thick composite armor protection. It was created for the ultimate armor-piercing capability, so much so that the damage effect after penetration was somewhat impressive.

In Teyvat, this thing is mainly used to counter some powerful special units; it's basically the Teyvat version of an armored unit.

With its high attack, high defense, and high evasion characteristics, only weapons with extremely high speed and penetration like these have the potential to successfully hit and cause damage.

However, scenarios requiring the use of steel needles for attacks are extremely rare. Someone with such strength must at least be an executor within the Fatui.

With a tank's cumbersome size, whether it can successfully aim at or lock onto an swift and powerful executive officer is still a question.

They simply equipped a small batch of these weapons with the simple belief that having something is better than having nothing, intending to use them as special weapons in emergency situations.

Although the artillery... oh, now it should be called electrothermal artillery, was of outstanding performance, in order to maximize the damage to the Shogunate army's barrier and cause sufficient destruction after penetrating it, they mainly chose armor-piercing capped shells with explosive charges.

He used such an extreme example to illustrate the problem simply to reduce trouble.

Encirclement by friendly forces has always been a part of war.

Not to mention what they're making now.

It's really just usable, nothing more.

Because the goal was to withstand the enemy's attack while breaking through the enemy's barrier, the design specifications given by Jiang Ming and his team were actually very simple.

It's so simple it's almost haphazard.
