Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 104 Tens of thousands of ghost soldiers, can you kill me instantly?
"boom--"

The loud noise momentarily deafened the players, including the Jade Emperor, who were watching the rocket launcher. Only then did they seem to realize the authenticity of the rocket launcher.

In the dark, cloud-covered sky, a pillar-shaped object that suddenly appeared and shone with golden light was flying toward the battlefield, quickly attracting everyone's attention.

It suddenly accelerated a second time less than five meters after takeoff, producing a thick trail of light yellow smoke and a violent shockwave. Even though the core of the shockwave was in the air, its residual force still knocked many players to the ground.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, a burst of fire shot into the sky, illuminating the sky above the mountain-protecting formation as bright as day. Then, a small mushroom cloud erupted from the dark mass of evil spirits and corpses, and finally, the earth shook violently.

The area around the massive crater turned black, with shattered earth and rocks scattering everywhere, and everything within the diameter of the blast center vaporized and vanished.

Compared to the Jade Emperor's self-destruction tactics, the power of the Psionic Type 63 107mm Light Towed Rocket Launcher not only shocked all the natives of the Ruins Realm, but also left most of the Blue Star players who were experiencing such high-destructive heavy weapons at such close range for the first time stunned.

"The design of the psionic secondary propulsion has basically achieved the expected results, but the timing of the secondary propulsion should be delayed a little longer, so that the damage caused by the shockwave to the gunners will be further reduced..."

After observing the entire process in the laboratory, Ma Lou discussed it with the scapegoat, Gong Juren, saying, "However, the current design can reduce this damage to a surprisingly low level."

The giant in the back-blame palace nodded, holding a rough leather notebook and taking notes as he spoke: "The activation time of spiritual power is too long, making it difficult to grasp the timing on the battlefield. This needs to be improved."

"The power is less than expected. I'm not sure if it's related to the secondary propulsion design. Hmm, let's investigate. Next, we'll send out the prototype without secondary propulsion to see how it goes."

"It could also be a matter of the amount of lightning energy. I saw that the markings indicate it's the smallest cubic meter. We can compare the effects of different sizes later."

While Ma Lou and the scapegoat-riding giant in the laboratory were discussing the experimental results, Elder Hu was the first to react. He glanced at the dozen or so rocket launchers that the players had brought out of the teleportation array, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master Fang, what kind of magic weapon is this...?"

"This is my sect's secret weapon,"

For some reason, Fang Xianyu suddenly felt a sense of exhilaration, as if she had a powerful backer. She suppressed the urge to smile and replied calmly, "As my sect disciples have said, this is one type, called the Spirit Energy Type 63 107 Lightweight Traction Rocket. It's relatively inexpensive, and as for its effect… as you can see, Elder, it's roughly equivalent to the attack of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator." In her first playthrough, even with the system as a cheat, Fang Xianyu still earned her cultivation and status through diligent practice. The system's help only accelerated her cultivation efficiency; it didn't create something from nothing.

She had considered using technology to change this other world, but the problem was that everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. As a liberal arts student, the limit of what she could do was to use her still-remembered high school knowledge to develop some minor techniques for crafting weapons and alchemy, and at most, apply modern scientific methods like the controlled variable method for learning and cultivation. She didn't even know that the controlled variable method was one of the techniques of the Monte Carlo method, she had long forgotten Newton's three laws of motion, and she only remembered the first few elements of the periodic table: "hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon," without knowing what the individual elements were. So, don't expect her to create anything like steam power.

Now, with limited cooperation with the Chinese mother, they have created a weapon that is extremely lethal even in the Guixu Realm in just over a month. This can be considered a cure for her fear of insufficient firepower. How could this not make her happy?

If dozens or even hundreds of them can be produced during the experimental stage, then if conditions are right and mass production is possible in the future, it wouldn't be unreasonable for each disciple in the sect to start with ten, right?
It was worth it for her to approve the interdimensional funding for more than a dozen research projects for Elder Lu Ying!
Such an exaggerated attack was immediately noticed by Zhu Fukun. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He couldn't believe that a mere Guangcheng Sect would have such an attack method!

There are no cannons in the Guixu Realm. If we had to name one, in mortal society there is only one kind of extremely primitive artillery that uses the lever principle—note that it is "artillery" and not "cannon," as the two are fundamentally different.

Although these two characters are equated in modern dictionaries, subtle differences can be gleaned from their radicals. The "pao" cart did not project gunpowder, but rather projectiles primarily composed of stones. In Chinese history, as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there were "pao" carts, such as catapults, but it was not until the Song Dynasty, when gunpowder was used on a large scale for military purposes, that "pao" gradually became "pao" (炮).

Of course, the artillery vehicles and psionic rocket launchers in the Guixu Realm are no longer the same kind of products; they are completely unrelated. The difference between the two is not a matter of technological generation, but rather that while you are still eating coarse food and wild vegetables in Chaoge, I am already enjoying a state banquet in the Great Hall of the People—almost four thousand years apart.

Therefore, Zhu Fukun had no idea what that powerful rocket launcher was. He could only rely on his common sense as a normal cultivator from the Guixu Realm to guess that it was some kind of one-time magic weapon or spiritual artifact.

Such exaggerated destructive power, comparable to an attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, could not possibly be a one-time event! If it truly wasn't a one-time event, it couldn't possibly be controlled by a mere third-rate sect!

In Zhu Fukun's mind, this was the Guangcheng Sect's trump card, something they could only unleash once or twice more at most. And this level of damage wouldn't even cripple the tens of thousands of ghost soldiers within the Immortal Extinction Banner!

Therefore, although Zhu Fukun felt sorry for the hundreds of Yin corpses and numerous evil spirits that had been blown to smithereens and reduced to ashes, the Misty Immortal Sect and the Heaven-Rank Spiritual Artifact, the Immortal Extermination Banner, still gave him complete confidence:

"You dare to use such wicked and unorthodox methods in front of me, Grandpa! My Immortal Extinction Banner has tens of thousands of ghost soldiers. Even if a few more come, how many can you kill? You're just making a death throes!"

Then, with a maniacal expression, he shouted, "Once I break through this protective mountain formation, I will refine you all into Yin Corpses! At that time, I will make you all enter my Immortal Extinction Banner! Join my Ghost Army! Forever and ever, never to be reincarnated!"
