Chapter 230: Going deep into the canyon, the Eagle Sect’s Demon Sealing Altar [Please subscribe]
has over 10,000 people.
This suppression team is mainly composed of members of the garrison and the underworld forces with higher levels of strength.
They quickly packed up the trophies "exploded" by the petrified dragon beasts and processed them intensively.
After taking a short rest, Chen Xuan rode the griffin into the sky again.
As the intensity of combat increases, the M2 heavy machine gun becomes increasingly unable to keep up with its form.
And there are ammunition supply restrictions for 37mm anti-aircraft guns.
After all, it is a traditional anti-aircraft gun, which usually uses spring plates to feed ammunition.
Each bullet plate has only five rounds of ammunition, and the magazine can load two bullet plates at the same time, with a total ammunition capacity of 10 rounds.
Only if a feed funnel is installed can the continuous feed of multiple bullet plates be achieved.
But at best, it can only fire dozens of rounds.
After all, this thing has long been separated from the category of firearms and is an out-and-out small cannon.
So I want a weapon that is powerful and has a guaranteed rate of fire.
Either consider using rapid-fire guns on naval ships, or a close-in defense weapon system similar to Land Shield 2000.
For example, the PJ26 76mm naval gun has a rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute, a drum that can store 152 rounds, and a long range. The maximum range can reach 17 kilometers, the maximum firing height can reach 11 kilometers, and the muzzle velocity of the shells is high. 980 meters per second.
The shooting accuracy is high, the actual dispersion area of the projectiles is small, and the overall performance is good.
Not to mention its power, it can cause great damage to small and medium-sized battleships.
But this thing is not light. The traditional version of the 76 naval gun weighs 11 tons.
Even the subsequently improved lightweight version weighs 9 tons.
In actual operation, it also relies on a water cooling system to continuously cool the gun body.
The power is enough to meet Chen Xuan's needs, but the size is too large to be used as a personal weapon.
In the future, you can consider getting dozens of sets and placing them on the tower as fixed artillery points.
It is a good choice to replace the inefficient city crossbow.
The weapon system of Land Shield 2000 is also very large compared to the tiny human beings.
The system uses an 8×8 off-road truck as the chassis.
There is a remote-controlled rotating turret mounted on the rear of the truck, equipped with 7-tube 30mm anti-aircraft guns.
The artillery has two ammunition boxes, each containing 500 rounds of armor-piercing sabots and high-explosive shells.
A wide-band tracking radar and a day/night targeting system with a laser range finder are installed above.
The rate of fire is 4,000 rounds per minute and the maximum range is 3,000 meters, but the target destruction distance is generally around 1,000 to 1,500 meters.
In addition, there is a Land Shield 2000 modification that combines artillery and artillery. A three-unit anti-aircraft missile launch box is installed on each side of the turret at the rear of the vehicle.
This is the surface-to-air version of the "Tianyan"-90 air-to-air missile.
When the artillery and artillery are combined, the new weapon system forms overlapping interception firepower, greatly improving the damage efficiency and being able to intercept incoming high-speed targets very effectively.
This short-range air defense weapon system is mainly used for the defense of strategic targets such as airports, command posts and logistics centers.
It is part of a multi-layered air defense system. In addition to destroying cruise missiles, air-to-surface missiles, helicopters and other small targets attacking from the air at close range, it can also destroy exposed living targets and enemy fire points.
A command vehicle equipped with surveillance radar will provide target information. One command vehicle can control 3 to 6 "Land Shield" 2000 short-range air defense weapons.
When the air defense company has 6 "Land Shield" 2000 short-range air defense weapons, 3 are used to intercept targets, and the other 3 can be transferred to new positions.
Its power is more than enough for Chen Xuan.
But the problem still lies in the inability to reduce weight.
The 30mm 7-barreled anti-aircraft gun is bloated and huge.
Let’s not talk about weight for now. After all, Chen Xuan has extraordinary physical fitness.
But volume is an issue that cannot be ignored.
Take the GAU-8 7-barrel Gatling cannon equipped on the A10 Warthog attack aircraft as an example.
Its length from the muzzle to the rear end of the ammunition system is 5.931 meters, and the entire cannon system weighs about 1.8 tons.
After being dismantled, it is slightly longer than a Maybach S600.
If you really fight with this thing, it feels a bit like a small horse pulling a big cart.
When Chen Xuan was thinking about what to buy from Blue Star next.
The team has already started heading into the misty canyon.
The black-gray rock base is seamless and the surface is smooth and solid.
Going deep into the canyon, no monsters appeared.
It seems that those hundreds of petrified dragon beasts should be the "guards" of this place.
In order to use the Ash Flash Altar to surprise the Baron's castle, Ansetus basically mobilized most of the scattered monsters on the periphery, pieced together everything and got through.
This resulted in the defense of external crypts and ruins being very empty.
I think the other three-pronged suppression teams encountered similar situations.
Even the resistance encountered should be lower than that of the Misty Canyon.
After all, those hundreds of petrified dragon beasts are not vegetarians either.
Not all of the team entered the canyon.
In case there are insidious traps in it.
The entire suppression team was divided into four thousand people, advancing in a gradient of 100 meters from the front, middle and back.
The wind spellcasters followed in the middle of the queue, taking turns casting wind spells as the front advanced.
This was used to dispel the thick fog that was as dense as silk cloth.
After entering the canyon, the fog became denser.
And the fog here has a certain effect of shielding the super sense.
The enhanced perception cannot play its due role when faced with the obstruction of thick fog.
Chen Xuan himself was riding a griffin, wearing a Kevlar helmet equipped with tactical goggles and a monocular night vision module on his head, and holding an Airei XL19 jungle version infrared thermal imager in his hand.
At a height of about a hundred meters above the ground, he was carefully observing the canyon below.
This thermal imaging camera can capture large targets up to 300 meters.
Excluding the interference factors caused by dense fog, it is still relatively accurate within a range of 100 meters.
There are both warm-blooded and cold-blooded monsters.
There are also monsters whose blood is like hot slime.
Therefore, thermal imaging may not be able to achieve comprehensive detection.
But it can be used as a backup observation method.
From time to time, Chen Xuan would throw TNT detonators with a charge of no more than 100 grams into the dense fog area.
The explosion caused by this detonator can disperse the fog in a small area and open up a temporary field of vision.
And it won't cause landslides.
This can further prevent possible ambushes in the fog.
The rock walls in the canyon are much stronger than everyone thinks.
Just as Chen Xuan had guessed before, this canyon was basically formed by a gap in the mountain.
This scene even reminded him of the scene from the classic cartoon Calabash in Blue Star.
The way the Calabash Mountain collapsed was similar to that of the Misty Canyon.
Typical terrain changes caused by external forces.
It can just split the mountain top and create a canyon.
This kind of power still makes Chen Xuan feel sincerely amazed.
You must know that the depth of this canyon is twenty or thirty kilometers, and it almost runs through the first half of the mountains.
It's like an abrupt passage.
The Misty Mountain where the canyon is located is not an ordinary small mountain, but a continuous mountain range heading north.
From the air, you can vaguely see the extension and direction of the mountains.
The highest peak as far as the eye can see is also hidden in the clouds and mist. It is estimated that the relative height from the peak to the ground is only three or four thousand meters. Of course, this is just an estimate, and the error must be large.
And Chen Xuan didn't know the sea level data of the Naroa world. After all, this was a super giant world.
In short, it is not just the canyon that is famous.
This misty mountain range also holds many secrets.
The dark gold mine given to Ansetus by the Black Demonic Dragon is located somewhere in the mountains.
It cannot be ruled out that there are even more abundant rare mineral deposits here.
Before setting off, Chen Xuan specifically asked Angela Lauder to go to the library to check the "Geography of Magatan" and "Chronicle of the State City".
Seeking to find records from hundreds of Naroa years ago.
It would be best if the information is close to the time when the Black Demon Dragon was banned.
In this way, we might be able to find out the causes and consequences of the emergence of this strange place in the Misty Mountains.
Now that things have developed, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the origin of this place is not simple.
Let’s not talk about the ruins crypts that exist deep in the canyon.
Just the beginning and end of the Black Demonic Dragon's ban were full of doubts.
Who could suppress and ban the Black Demon Dragon Baile here in his heyday?
As a proud general under the command of the Black Flame Demon Lord.
At his peak, Baile's strength was definitely at level six.
This level is enough to allow it to traverse a huge city, but it failed in this small place.
No one would believe it if there were no secrets.
Therefore, Chen Xuan also attached great importance to exploring the Misty Canyon.
However, the road ahead is surprisingly smooth.
The canyon was extremely quiet, and no one was attacked even after going several kilometers deep.
Instead, many traces of monster activity were found on the rock walls along the way.
Including some fallen scales, skin, claws, and a small amount of blood graffiti like ghost drawings.
After being examined by [Insight], meaningless symbols and lines do not contain any hidden information.
It is a complete portrayal of the inner chaos of those crazy monsters.
It wasn't until they were more than ten kilometers deep into the canyon that they finally reached their destination.
This is where the ceremonial crypt is located.
Six raised stone platforms can be seen not far away.
Two stone platforms are on the ground, and two others, one on the left and one on the right, are on the side rock walls.
As for the last two stone platforms, they are just above the canyon.
Each stone platform seemed to be poured on top, with a black chain as thick as a human body attached to it.
These thick chains have been broken and are now entangled together crookedly.
Dense traces of runes can be seen faintly on the surface of the chain.
Needless to say, this is where the dragon is imprisoned!
And behind these stone platforms.
There is a dark cave entrance on the rock wall on the right.
The entrance to this cave is about forty meters high and occupies almost half of the rock wall.
Through the shadows of those ritual light pillars, it can be determined that the cave beneath this cave is where the ruins crypt is located.
Ansetus entered this place by mistake and embarked on a path of no return.
Compared with the overall trend of the canyon, the location here is exactly in the middle of the canyon.
On both sides, you can see the steep and steep peaks that have been cut away.
The originally complete mountain peak was split into two, and the slightly skewed half front looked sharp and angular.
There is also a somewhat unreal feeling.
It is difficult to eliminate the abruptness of using extraordinary power to cause unexpected changes in the natural terrain.
The tips of the two half-peaks are in the shape of an outer eight, and the connected shadows cover most of the area in the canyon.
It makes the already dark environment even more gloomy.
The passage in the canyon is obviously not narrow, but it makes everyone feel inexplicably cramped and tight.
The environment here is not complicated, and the frontline scouts quickly ascertained the reality.
Chen Xuan also let the griffin fall.
It's just that he didn't go to the entrance of the cave immediately.
Instead, he came to the stone platforms and stared at the thick black iron chains.
After the plug-in ability [Insight] is activated, lines of subtitles appear immediately.
[The chain is made of the Ash Iron from the Outer Realm. The demon-sealing runes on it have become blurred under the erosion of time and have lost the effectiveness of the seal.] [The Ash Iron can be melted through a special forging process
. Re-engraving the demon-sealing rune and making it into a demon-sealing weapon]
...
These two lines of information explain the origin of the sealing chain.
What made Chen Xuan curious was the material of gray meteorite iron.
When questions appeared in his mind, the information feedback given by [Insight] was also refreshed.
[Grey Iron: A demonized metal that fell from the gray demon moon. After being engraved with special runes, it can suppress chaotic magic] ... After being strengthened many times, [Insight
]
can follow his The mind carries out information prompts with different emphasis.
It's so considerate.
There is often an antidote next to the poison.
As one of the sources of monsters, the gray magic moon, the metal that fell from it, can actually suppress the chaotic magic, which is somewhat interesting.
These chains can be recycled and reforged.
However, the casting method is quite particular, and clues still need to be found.
The mysterious boss who banned the demonic dragon back then must have mastered the method of forging Ash Iron.
After checking the origin of the chain, Chen Xuan walked to one of the stone platforms to take a look at the situation.
This stone platform still retains the shape of an altar.
It’s just that the veins of inscriptions that once existed on the surface are severely worn.
There are also criss-crossing cracks distributed among them.
Chen Xuan walked around and found an eagle-shaped mark on the corner.
The [Insight] feedback that followed quickly made him understand something.
[Eagle Demon Hunter Mark: A mark left by an Eagle Demon Hunter, proving its origin and ownership]
[Eagle Demon Sealing Altar: A sealing altar created with the Eagle Demon Hunting Technique. It is characterized by long-term continuous suppression. , while absorbing the vitality of the banned target and converting it into life seeds]
...
The information is not too complicated, but the amount of information contained is very large.
"Demon hunters?"
"What kind of force is this?"
Chen Xuan had never heard of this kind of force, or the level was too high for him to reach.
Or it is relatively secretive and unknown to ordinary people.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the demon hunter force belongs to an ancient force that was active hundreds of Naloya years ago, and is now weak.
The details still need to be investigated.
But as long as you know the name, you have the direction of investigation!
