Chapter 591 Big Surprise

Lightman, Sequence 9, is a profession of the same type as Bill's [Smelter], with the attributes of [Furnace] and [Blade]. The weapon he uses is a crossbow, and when he shows it to Lin, he easily associates it with the crossbow used by the protagonist in the movie Van Helsing before the time travel.

Lin was very curious about the power source of this crossbow.

Then from this crossbow specially customized by [The Lightman], Lin learned about a power source different from spiritual drive, a star mineral called dysprosium ore.

This mineral is very similar to crystal, but very unstable.

How unstable is it?

Lightman said that he usually carries two standard backup power sources of this dysprosium ore with him, and puts them in a small box made of ice crystal stone. Otherwise, if it is squeezed and broken by violent movement, it is easy to burst out the energy stored in it in the form of combustion.

At first, Lin thought that this thing might be natural gas or combustible ice.

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

Why does it sound so familiar?

Feilian Mingxi gave Lin En a hint that the elf civilization also used dysprosium ore and imitated it. This mineral is called sunstone in their place because its energy release nature is similar to that of the sun.

This reminder made Lin En suddenly realize!

Damn, isn't this metallic hydrogen!

But this thing should not be real metallic hydrogen, at least not the pure hydrogen solid that can only be formed under high pressure of millions of atmospheres in Lin En's era. Dysprosium ore is said to be a crystal ore that grows rapidly in certain environments directly from the soil and receives direct impact from the solar prominence of the astral world. It can only be said to be an extreme material born in an extreme environment. It happens to have some characteristics of metallic hydrogen, and its main energy release method is still heat release.

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

With a special arrow, it is a true main combat profession.

By the way, more than 90% of the power sources used by [Furnace] extraordinary people use this mineral from the astral world. Every year, there are special extraordinary people who mine this mineral from the astral world and sell it. It is not a rare thing. If you are brave, you can go to the astral world to get some dysprosium ore in your dream and then run back to the surface world.

However, those high-end middle-sequence extraordinary people use dysprosium ore to output energy in the form of power plants or reactors.

In addition, dysprosium ore has a disadvantage.

That is, it is not easy to split.

Because it is a hydrogen storage crystal, and it is also mixed with a composite metal grid structure such as silicon, magnesium and nickel. If you cut it, the person responsible for cutting it may catch fire in an instant.

Probably considering that Lin En, as an auxiliary extraordinary person, may lack the power to attack directly, Lightman was assigned to his team. His firepower support in the medium and short range is absolutely trustworthy. It only takes five seconds to pull the trigger to nail out a 30-load short crossbow arrow nest.

The disadvantage is...

If all his pre-loaded cylinders are used up, he can only abandon the cylinders and use manual loading to support firepower, and the output will be reduced to an outrageous level.

Lightman said that he was looking for a way to make up for his shortcomings, such as the ammunition belt that feeds heavy machine guns within the military, or replacing a main weapon after promotion. Anyway, the main power source can be reused, so it can be taken out and modified at will.

This also made Lin En realize that even if it is the same profession and the same path, the profession of [Forger] can evolve into different schools according to the different paths or weapons. This is the strength in numbers, the mainstream of the times, and the embodiment of wisdom. In comparison, there are no candidates for his [Flower Maker] path, so naturally there is no development.

And to be honest, Lin En himself is only at the application stage of his path.

If Lightman is the short spear that was reserved in the pioneering team, then Avril is the shield that was arranged.

Lin En did not expect that this girl who looks a bit like a pure girl next door is actually a meat shield. She is also a sequence 9, a profession [Iron Guard] based on the [Tower] and [Blade] phases. Her weapons are metal outerwear with a self-powered source like Ye Funi, and the position of her hands is a shield blade similar to the door panel sword. Because there is no [Furnace] phase, an ignition device is added. Her ability is quite mysterious in the lower sequence, and it is called damage immunity.

In the era of cold weapons, this ability is also called the undead aura.

When Avril is hurt physically, she can instantly judge the attacker's status. If the attacker's status is lower than hers, the damage will be greatly reduced. The degree of reduction depends on the difference in status between the two.

It can be said that this is a profession that specifically restrains high attack and low defense.

Very good, Lin En is very happy!

His team needs this kind of talent who can fight and resist, but he has a small doubt, that is, if it is the same sequence 9, if she is attacked with a hot weapon with explosive output, will her immunity judgment still be effective?

This question made Avril purse her lips in embarrassment.

Obviously, even if [Iron Guard] can exempt some damage, it is difficult to resist the power of hot weapons, which are the crystallization of industry. This is the helpless epitome of the times. If there is development, there must be elimination. A gun can make all the lower sequences collectively speechless and forced to compromise.

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

At least the thick steel plate of the door, Lin En thinks that unless explosives are added, light machine guns may not be able to sweep it. When used with [Iron Guard], it is definitely a bulldozer in street fighting. Besides, there is Lin En, the mobile hot spring. As long as Avril is not a waste without teammates, it will be difficult for her to die in the city security battle.

The last member of the team is...

Lin En just pushed the door open and entered, and a cloud of snowflakes hit him in the face, followed by Leticia's cheerful and excited voice.

"Big surprise!!"

Latman and Avril, who were following behind him, looked at the dancing loli driving with their pupils trembling in horror.
