People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

"Cargo catapult...then can it launch people directly?" Albedo began to think divergently.

"I don't think the feeling of being projected upon is a very pleasant one." Shen Qin shook his head.

He thought of the devilish training that astronauts on Earth had to go through before going into space, such as overweight endurance and adaptability training. In a high-speed rotating centrifuge, ordinary people can only withstand three to four times the acceleration of gravity, while astronauts need to perform difficult technical moves while enduring eight times the acceleration of gravity.

At the moment when the cargo hold is ejected from the cargo catapult at high speed, the gravitational acceleration may be greater than when the rocket takes off and lands.

"After the cargo catapult is built, I will experience it myself if I have the chance."

You are really curious!

Shen Qin shrugged helplessly and continued to perfect the drawings in his hand.

The inspiration for the cargo catapult comes from a delivery tool of the same name in the previous game "Death Stranding", although it is more often used by players to "bring justice from the sky" to reward their fellow Mules...

However, the cargo catapult designed by Shen Qin is not as useless as in the game. Its maximum projection distance can reach two hundred kilometers, highlighting its "powerful and powerful" feature.

If launched from the foot of the mountain, it can basically cover the entire snow mountain area except for some awkward corners.

In addition, Shen Qin also improved the original cargo hold's parachute landing method and used reverse thrust landing instead. After all, in a windy environment, the disadvantage of a parachute is that it will be blown away once it is opened.

He just came up with this method in a flash of inspiration. If Albedo can't operate the cargo catapult by hand, then they can only wait for the rescue team to arrive at the victims in distress. Whether they can survive and wait for rescue depends entirely on luck.

But at least the cargo catapult greatly increases their chances of survival.

While waiting for the coordinates of the insured, Shen Qin also asked Albedo to simply write an APP that can track the coordinates.

Five minutes later, the hyperterminal captured the location coordinates of a total of sixty-seven terminal bracelets. After removing some coordinates that were almost overlapping because they were too close, nineteen different coordinates were sorted out.

After Shen Qin completed the cargo catapult drawings, he asked the terminal to perfect them before getting off the car. He found that the Knights and Mondstadt Wine Mengzi had both arrived.

His eyes lit up - the mobile power bank had actually arrived in advance.

Hearing Wendy's unwilling words, he said, "Since you can't interfere, what about us? We shouldn't be subject to any restrictions, right?"

He nodded to everyone, briefly greeted them, and then turned his gaze to Wendy: "Our move won't attract the attention of 'that person', right?"

He seemed to know more than she thought. Wendy looked into Shen Qin's calm eyes and gave her own answer: "The Snow Mountain is the 'Abandoned Land'. As long as you don't touch the forbidden power, that person doesn't care what it becomes."

"I understand." Shen Qin nodded and sent the 19 coordinates to everyone's wristbands: "These are the coordinates of all the people in distress who are wearing wristbands."

"Really? How did you get it... Never mind, now is not the time to explain. I believe you! But if we only have the coordinates, it will still be difficult for us to determine the correct location in the snowy mountains."

Qin looked embarrassed.

No problem at all, I've taken care of it for you.

Shen Qin sent the coordinate tracking app that Albedo had just written to their bracelets: "Its coordinate positioning is achieved by relying on the hardware of the bracelet itself and the built-in snow mountain map. It will not be affected by the earth veins and elemental forces."

"The super terminal has calculated the best rescue route. You will take the transport vehicles and split into three groups to rescue according to the route. The fastest time to rescue those in distress is about three and a half hours."

Qin and Serius couldn't wait to carry out the rescue operation, but Shen Qin stopped them and asked them if there were enough heat-resistant bottles, cold-proof equipment and various alchemical materials in the town.

"I want to make something that can greatly increase the chances of survival for those in distress. You three teams just need to act according to the original plan."

"We have all these things in our warehouse. We'll arrange for someone to take you there right away!"

Serius didn't know what Shen Qin was going to do, but time was running out and Shen Qin was the only one who had proposed a feasible plan. There was no need to think so much at this time. Just do what he said.

He called Yuxia, the person in charge of the Adventurer's Association in the town, and asked her to take Shen Qin and Albedo to the warehouse.

Looking at Serius's hurriedly leaving back, she sighed and said, "This kid is still as reckless as before!"

"Boy?" Shen Qin raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, we are siblings." Yuxia explained briefly, but there was no more time to waste. She stepped on the flying skateboard to lead the way for them, "This way."

Soon she brought them to a large warehouse: "Everything you need is here, take whatever you want, just don't destroy the entire warehouse."

Then she hurried off to do other things.

"How is it? Is it ready?" Shen Qin looked at Albedo who finally raised his head. Before that, he had been memorizing and understanding the drawings of the cargo catapult designed by Shen Qin.

"Okay." Albedo turned off the bracelet and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, golden light was already bursting from his pupils.

His body slowly floated in the air, and the heavy earth elemental force permeated around his body, making him look like he was shining.

Chapter 161: Wild Boar Princess Volume 6

Shen Qin has always known that Albedo is very strong, but he has never intuitively felt his strength.

Because in the game, Albedo is only very strong in the plot, but his actual combat strength is just average, and his employment prospects are not broad. He is only useful in running around in the big world.

But now he finally has the chance to see how powerful Albedo is when he uses 50% of his strength.

I saw pieces of metal ore being squeezed and rubbed by Albedo using the force of rock element, and turned into balls of red melted liquid in the air.

Unnecessary impurities were removed and necessary auxiliary materials were added. Then the high-temperature liquid of the synthetic material was easily molded into various shapes and quickly cooled and solidified.

Albedo was also multitasking, making ten parts at the same time. As time went on, more and more parts were suspended in the air.

Shen Qin stared at the spectacular scene in front of him in amazement, feeling that he might have underestimated Albedo's true strength before.

At this moment, a miniature terminal floated in front of him, and Albedo's voice rang out: "You should write the intelligent system first. By the time you finish writing the intelligent system, my work here will probably be done."

"Ah."

While various teams were working hard to carry out rescue work, in a small snow pit deep in the snow-capped mountains, the unlucky adventurer Joseph felt that he was about to collapse.

He accepted a commission to collect star silver ore and had been in the snowy mountains for three full days. Just when he had collected enough ore and was about to go down the mountain, he was trapped in the mountains by a sudden huge blizzard.

The flying skateboard was completely unusable in such a severe snowstorm. As soon as he stepped on it, he was blown to the ground by the strong wind.

He tried to use the terminal bracelet to send a distress message to the Adventurer's Association, but the "message sending failed" displayed on the screen made his heart sink to the bottom - he had lost contact with the outside world.

He hid behind a rock in the leeward direction and tried for four or five minutes, but was unable to get the message across.

But the temperature was getting lower and lower. Although he was wearing thick warm snowproof clothing, the temperature difference of more than ten degrees had made the warm clothing ineffective. He felt that the extremities of his limbs had begun to become numb and stiff.

No, I can't stay here and wait to die!

He took out one of the only three remaining heat-releasing bottles, opened it, and released enough heat to dispel the cold within a five-meter radius, gradually warming his body.

But perhaps because the temperature was too low, the heat release bottle that could usually last for ten minutes only lasted less than six minutes, and the biting cold once again invaded his body.

He prepared himself mentally and plunged into the pitch-black blizzard, moving toward a cave according to the direction he remembered.

As long as... as long as we can get there, at least we don't have to face the blizzard.

There is also a lot of firewood in the cave left by adventurers passing by for heating.

All we have to do is wait there for a few hours until the storm dies down, right?

The strong wind blew snowflakes bigger than goose feathers onto him, causing a thick layer of snow to quickly accumulate on his clothes. Even though he kept moving, the snow on his body became thicker and thicker.

The sound of the wind, the whiteness of the snow, my own panting, my body gradually losing its temperature...

Joseph felt that his current situation was very bad. He looked around and saw nothing but white, and knew that he had lost his way.

The most frightening thing in a snowstorm is losing your sense of direction, which means that you may have been moving in the wrong direction, or you may be spinning in a spiral repeatedly in an area of ​​more than ten meters.

He wanted to go back to the big rock where he had been before, at least it could help block some of the wind, but when he turned around, he discovered in despair that in just a dozen seconds, the wind and snow had completely buried his traces.

No, I can't just give up! Joel... Joel, he's still waiting for me to come back!

He moved his body with difficulty on the thick snow and came to a big tree with bare branches.

He used a second exothermic bottle.

Leaning against the big tree, feeling the warmth gradually returning to his body, two lines of tears ran down his face.

Although he was unwilling to give up and unwilling to admit it, he understood that this time he was in great danger.

With such a severe snowstorm, the rescue team couldn't easily get deep into the snow-capped mountains. Even if they did, without his exact location, he wouldn't be able to survive until their arrival.

He was never afraid of death. What he was afraid of was that his departure would make Joel lonely and sad.

When he thought of his son, the desire to survive was restored in his eyes, so after the heat release bottle failed, he staggered forward again, hoping that with the blessing of Barbatos, the god of wind, he could find a safe haven.

But his prayers did not reach the ears of the God of Wind. The thick layer of snow covered the rugged terrain. He missed a step and fell on the snow, rolling down a not small slope.

When his body stopped rolling, he couldn't help but groan in pain. His right calf had hit a protruding rock while he was rolling, and now he had lost consciousness. All that was left was the excruciating pain.

It's most likely a fracture.

He lay on the snow groaning for a minute, then reluctantly looked up at his calf, and saw that it was indeed bent.

He turned sideways, gritted his teeth, and used his hands to bend the broken calf bone back to the correct angle, then sprayed the healing spray at that location.

Although the effectiveness of the healing spray would be reduced many times through clothing, this was the best solution right now - unless he wanted to be frozen to death immediately, he would expose his skin and use the healing spray.

After using up a bottle of healing spray, his right foot still felt a dull pain, but it was enough to support him to continue moving, even though it became completely unrecoverable after this use.

If I can return to Mondstadt alive this time, maybe I should get a bionic body.

He thought with a smile on his face.

But he soon stopped because a small snow pit appeared in front of him. Although it was small, the wind and snow could not blow directly into it.

Should he continue to explore the invisible front in search of a slim hope, or should he stay here so that his body will not be covered by the snow and can be easily seen by other adventurers?

Joseph chose to stay.

He turned over and sat in the snow pit, used up the last thermos bottle, and felt the last warmth in the world. At the same time, he opened the memo on his bracelet and recorded his own voice.

"My name is Joseph, I am an adventurer. I died in the snowy mountains on..., and my home address is... If anyone happens to find me, please bring my body or my belongings back to Mondstadt, and bring the Boar Princess, Volume 6 in my package to my son, Joel, and tell him the truth."

"The following is what I want to say to Joel. Joel, Dad may never see you again. Before we set out this time, I promised to take you to the snowy mountains to see the snow, but it seems that Dad has broken his promise..."

The effect of the heat bottle disappeared, and the cold made Joseph's voice begin to tremble. He had no choice but to end the recording. After confirming that the last words had been saved in the memo, he breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, quietly felt the loss of body temperature, and waited for death to come.

Buzz—a sharp buzzing sound was heard, and Joseph opened his eyes, only to see a cylinder with a diameter of half a meter and a height of two meters slowly landing next to the snow pit.

Chapter 162: Standard Tevarin's 10-second Dragon's Breath Equivalent

Ten minutes ago, in a small town at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

Amber, Eula and Kaia each led a rescue team composed of adventurers and knights into the snow-capped mountains to carry out rescue missions.

Qin arranged for the knights to evacuate the residents near the snow mountain, including the residents in the small town. Seleucus also commissioned the adventurers on the scene to collect data and conduct simple exploration outside the snow mountain.

Because Wendy was worried that the situation on the snow mountain would continue to deteriorate, he stayed in the town and did not leave. But he regretted it ten minutes later, because Shen Qin and Albedo came to him with a huge cargo catapult and asked him to power its launch.

"Are you kidding me?" He looked at Shen Qin, who didn't seem to be joking, with a look of horror, "How many times can my small body withstand its launch?"

Shen Qin patted his shoulder to comfort him: "The energy required for one launch is only equivalent to Tevarin's Dragon Breath that lasts for ten seconds. This is definitely a piece of cake for the great Wendy!"

"We were originally going to use the replica of the Heart of God in the Knights' hands as our energy core, but now we don't have time to go to Mondstadt to get it, so you'll have to do it for us!"

Wendy rolled her eyes. "Just? Give me five minutes, and I can go back to Mondstadt and get you the replica of the Heart of God!"

"Wendy, time waits for no one! In these five minutes, how many people in distress will die because they can't withstand the severe cold?"

Shen Qin patted his arm with an expression that said, "Comrade, this difficult task is left to you."

Wendy's eyes dimmed a little, then she gritted her teeth and went for it!

"bring it on!"

Shen Qin gave him a thumbs up and asked him to transfer energy to the cargo catapult whose parameters had been adjusted by Albedo.

As energy was input, the charging indicator bar on the barrel slowly grew, but Wendy had already started to panic.

"No... Shen Qin, the amount of energy it requires is a bit outrageous!"

"Hmmm, a standard ten-second dragon breath equivalent of Tevarin."

Wendy blinked and said doubtfully, "You mean... Tevarin in his normal state?"

"No, it was the demonized Tevarin from the decisive battle at the Wind Dragon Ruins that day."

Wendy:? ? ?

"Shen Qin! You tricked me!"

But at this time the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. The first cargo hold filled with survival supplies was shot out at high speed by electromagnetic force. It plunged into the blizzard, turned on the reverse thrust engine, adjusted its flight attitude from time to time, and fell to the preset coordinate point.

"Shen Qin! If I am not satisfied with the reward this time!"

The second cargo capsule was launched successfully.
