The sin of wearing a crown

Lightman, Sequence 9, has the same occupation as Bill's [Forger], and his sexual aspects are: [furnace] and [blade]. The weapon he used was a repeating crossbow. When he showed it to Linn, he easily reminded him of the repeating crossbow used by the protagonist in the pre-time travel movie Van Helsing.

Linn was very curious about the power source of this repeating crossbow.

Then from this repeating crossbow specially customized by [Lamp Holder], Lin En learned about a power source that was different from spiritual drive, an astral mineral called dysprosium ore.

This mineral is very much like crystal, but very unstable.

How unstable is it?

Letterman said that he usually carries two standard spare power sources of this kind of dysprosium ore with him, specially placed in a small box made of cryolite. Otherwise, if it is squeezed and broken by violent exercise, it will be easy to store it inside. The energy bursts out in the form of combustion.

At first, Linn thought it was natural gas or flammable ice.

But after listening to the popular science of Lightman, a craftsman, I realized that the minerals grown in the astral world are crystals formed in a special environment. Most of the substances in it are hydrogen, mixed between the silicon, magnesium, nickel and aluminum crystal mixture, showing It has an alternative high-density and high-energy storage property. The most interesting thing is that in this dysprosium ore material, the physical properties of hydrogen seem to have changed and become conductive.

Why does it sound so familiar?

Feilian Mingxi gave Lin En a hint. The elven civilization also used dysprosium ore and imitated it. In their country, this mineral is called sun stone because the nature of its energy release is similar to that of the sun. place.

With this reminder, Lin En suddenly realized!

Fuck, isn’t this just metallic hydrogen!

However, this thing should not be real metallic hydrogen, at least not the pure hydrogen solid that in Lynn's time could only be formed under high pressure of millions of atmospheres. Dysprosium ore is said to be a crystal ore that grows rapidly in some environments directly from the soil and is directly impacted by astral prominences. It can only be said to be an extreme material born in an extreme environment. It happens to have certain characteristics of metallic hydrogen. Its main way of releasing energy is to release heat.

The steam repeating crossbow uses the exothermic effect of dysprosium ore as the power source to push the internal air piston to perform mechanical reciprocating compression injection. The principle of this thing is similar to that of a nail gun, and the power of the crossbow arrows fired is also very powerful.

Paired with special arrows, it is a proper warrior profession.

By the way, more than 90% of the power sources used by [furnace] Extraordinaries use this mineral from the star realm. Every year, special extraordinary people mine this mineral from the star realm and sell it. It's not a rare thing. If you are brave, you can go to the star realm in your dreams to get some dysprosium ore and then run back to the outer realm.

However, those upper-level mid-sequence Beyonders who use dysprosium ore are said to output energy in the form of power plants or reactors.

In addition, Dysprosium Ore has a disadvantage.

That is not easy to separate.

Because it is a hydrogen storage crystal, mixed with a composite metal grid structure such as silicon, magnesium and nickel, the person responsible for cutting may catch fire as soon as the knife is cut.

Probably considering that Linn, as an auxiliary Extraordinary, might lack the power to directly attack, Letterman was assigned to his team. His fire support in the short and medium range is absolutely trustworthy. It only takes five seconds to pull the trigger and drive out all the arrow nests of thirty short crossbow arrows.

Disadvantages...

That is, if all his preloaded bomb nests are used up, then he will have to abandon the bomb nests and use manual loading to fire one round after another to support the firepower. The output will be reduced to an outrageous level.

Letterman said that he is looking for a way to make up for his shortcomings, such as the military's internal ammunition belt for heavy machine guns, or replacing the main weapon after promotion. Anyway, the main power source can be reused. , you can take it out and modify it at will.

This also made Linn realize that even if the same profession has the same path, the profession [Forger] can evolve into different schools depending on the path taken or the choice of weapons. This is that there is strength in numbers, it is the mainstream of the times, and it is the embodiment of wisdom. In contrast, there are not many candidates for his [Flower Maker] path, so naturally there is nothing to develop.

And to be honest, Linn himself is only in the application stage of the path he is on.

If Letterman is the planned spear in the pioneering team, then Avril Lavigne is the planned shield.

Lin En also didn't expect that this girl who looked a bit like the innocent sister next door would actually work as a human shield. It is also Sequence 9, a profession [Iron Guard] based on the two phases [Tower] and [Blade]. She is armed with a metal exterior similar to that of Evonne with its own power source, and her hands are equipped with shield blades similar to door-panel swords. Because there is no [furnace] phase, an ignition device is added. Her ability is quite mysterious in the lower order, and it is called damage immunity.

In the era of cold weapons, this ability was also called the aura of immortality.

Avril is currently able to make an instant judgment on the attacker's level when she is harmed. If the level is lower than hers, the damage will be greatly reduced. The degree of reduction depends on the difference between the two levels.

It can be said that it is a profession that specializes in suppressing high attack and low defense.

Great, Lynn is happy!

His team needs such talents who can resist and fight, but he has a small doubt, that is, if she is also Sequence 9, and if she attacks her with a hot weapon with explosive output, her immunity judgment will be Can it still be effective?

This question made Avril purse her lips in embarrassment.

Obviously, even if [Iron Guard] can save part of the damage, it can't resist the power of industrial crystals like thermal weapons. This is the epitome of helplessness in the era. Where there is development, there must be elimination. A gun can make all the lower-ranking people collectively lose their voices and be forced to compromise.

Avril's shield blade can very effectively help her help her comrades resist damage.

At least the thick steel plate of the door. Linn felt that unless it was loaded with explosives, even a light machine gun might not be able to sweep it away. Used with the [Iron Guard], it would definitely be a bulldozer in street fighting. Besides, there is a mobile hot spring called Lin En. As long as Avril is not idle and has no teammates, it will be difficult for her to die in the city's security war.

The last member of the team is...

As soon as Lin opened the door and walked in, a cloud of snowflakes hit him in the face, followed by Leticia's cheerful and excited voice.

"a big surprise!!"

Letterman and Avril, who were following him, both had pupils trembling, looking at the dancing Lolita in horror.
