Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 442 - 220: Reunion with Shen Yue, the Lord Bishop’s True Scheme
Upon receiving the message, Chen Shanshan immediately responded:
"Understood. Should I gather all the team leaders and notify them?"
Lin Feng climbed to a vantage point, gazing at the vast wilderness ahead of the ship’s bow, as well as the ruins of the ancient city on the right, and slowly replied:
"No need for now. You can first discuss with Ding Yi and follow her advice."
"Then keep the combat squads on standby at all times, and, regarding military training, have Duncan complete it as soon as possible, and distribute the Evolution Agents from the freezer."
"If the wolf pack does attack Oasis Town, even though the Oasis Battleship can handle a Clan Leader-level Desolate Wolf, thousands of Tier One wolves might launch a direct attack from the road slope, and my support will be difficult to be effective in close-quarters combat."
"At that time, you’ll have to rely on yourselves."
Chen Shanshan nodded:
"Got it, I’ll arrange it."
After ending the communication, Lin Feng immediately returned to the church to take a stroll in the Upper District and study the most potent offensive method equipped on the Oasis Battleship, the Curse of the Light Blade.
This thing is an enhanced version of a laser weapon, capable of instant-strike speed.
After all, in this world, there is no substance that can accelerate to the speed of light, three hundred thousand kilometers per second.
As long as it’s a flesh-and-blood life form, it cannot escape the strike of the Curse of the Light Blade.
The form in which the strike causes damage is, on one hand, thermal heating, and on the other, the special environment of the Wasteland—the ever-present Scorching Sun Curse.
Especially in the border area of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area, its power is several times more effective than in the distant wasteland area away from the Forbidden Area.
However, correspondingly, whether it’s the rapid rise in temperature or the auto-ignition effect of the Scorching Sun Curse, it’s only effective for smaller targets and organisms.
And when it comes to strafing armored convoys, or when the target is wearing heavy armor, the damage of the Curse of the Light Blade significantly diminishes.
For instance, when dealing with the Rock Horse Warrior’s Rock Horse Armor...
The Ceramic Steel Armor is thirty to forty centimeters thick, and with a heating speed of five hundred degrees per second within ten kilometers, it takes at least four seconds to achieve over two thousand degrees to melt the ceramic steel surface.
Some special ceramics even have melting points as high as two thousand five hundred to three thousand degrees.
Unless the Rock Horse Warrior is overexerted or severely injured and falls, there’s no way he would stand foolishly in place to endure the three or four seconds of scorching beam exposure.
And more heat resistant than Ceramic Steel is Tungsten Alloy Steel, with a melting point reaching three thousand five hundred degrees, the only problem being its heaviness, weighing several times that of titanium alloy.
For use in making armor or armor equipment, the sustainability provided by energy is estimated to be significantly reduced.
Like the Power Armor Lin Feng wears, it’s mostly made of lightweight titanium alloy, though its hardness is second only to Tungsten Alloy, its melting point is only one thousand six hundred degrees...
And compared to Tungsten, it conducts heat faster.
Once heated to a thousand degrees, the wearer inside the armor or armored suit would have basically been steamed to a semi-cooked state, and even with armor on, there is a risk of being killed.
As for the heavily armored Rock Horse Armor, relying solely on the strike of the Curse of the Light Blade is clearly far from sufficient.
This might also be the reason the Li family and others act so unscrupulously.
Or perhaps the Curse of the Light Blade is the Church’s trump card.
And what Lin Feng wants is to understand the assembly principle of the Curse of the Light Blade to see if he can equip his fleet with a small-focus strike device.
Even with the drawbacks of slow firing speed, long charging time, and targeting only light-armored targets, the biggest advantage of a focusing device is that the firing cost is almost zero.
It’s practically a cost-free laser weapon.
In the post-apocalyptic world of Three Days in the Sky, the most abundant resource is the ubiquitous sunlight.
However, even though Lin Feng currently holds the Oasis Key and serves as the Temporary Captain, he still can’t recklessly intrude into the Holy Spring Sect’s core area, especially based on his observations...
The Curse of the Light Blade should belong to the Oasis’s secret weapon, one of its top-secret trump cards.
If not for obtaining the Oasis Key and activating the highest control authority of the battleship, the system wouldn’t have scanned out all the Oasis Battleship’s secrets.
So Lin Feng needs a guide.
Someone familiar with the Oasis Battleship, especially with the personnel in the Church District, who wouldn’t refuse or expose him.
Soon, a familiar figure appeared in Lin Feng’s line of sight.
The Official Assistant Priest, Shen Yue, who once showed Lin Feng around the Oasis and accompanied his squad to the Taishan Ruins.
At this moment, Shen Yue was in the Church District, having completed her evening prayers and studies, leaving the meditation room below to head to the Upper District canteen.
When first meeting Shen Yue she was only at the Early Tier One, but later persuaded by Lin Feng to exchange her accumulated contribution points for evolutionary resources, successfully advancing to Mid-Tier One, participating in the Taishan Ruins exploration task.
Now successfully collected enough Desert Wolf Source Material from the Taishan Ruins, completing the task, Shen Yue’s cleared merits apparently got her another wave of rewards.
And she wisely exchanged them for a new batch of evolutionary resources, elevating her evolution level from the original entry to Mid-Tier One to its upper limit at Level 16.
Though not much progress was made, it was still more than enough for self-defense in the upcoming potential rebellion.
Of course, her purpose for this high-risk gamble was evidently not to preserve her life in the turmoil but to use the chaos to climb to higher echelons.
Unfortunately, the intense battle originally expected turned into a lower intensity, safer arena duel, thanks to Bishop Zhang Hui’s mediation.
Shen Yue, who had originally planned to showcase her skills, could now only suppress her excitement and swallow her fury.
