...gorgeous dividing line...

Zong Shen stood up, left the long table in the restaurant, and walked slowly to the relatively empty area of ​​the Lord's Fortress Hall.

He raised his hand and took out a heavy ballista!

This ballista requires at least two to three operators to fire.

The main body has a sturdy bracket, which looks like "wood clad iron", but it has magic patterns engraved on it.

The front end is square, with a spring torsion group installed on each side.

Each spring group drives a crossbow arm, and the ends of the two crossbow arms are connected to the crossbow string.

In the middle of the crossbow string is a woven mesh bag that accommodates thrown objects.

The crossbar of the ballista body has a long dovetail groove.

A slider with a long rail slides forward and backward along a long slot.

Just behind this slide is a sophisticated firing mechanism that makes it easy to lock and release the crossbow string.

There is also a winch at the end of the beam. The operator can pull the handle and drag the slider through the rope and fixed pulley. When the firing structure locks the crossbow string and pulls it back, the crossbow is ready to fire.

In order to make operating the winch effortless, metal ratchets are also installed on both sides of the crossbow of the ballista, which not only eliminates the need to open the crossbow in one go, but also adjusts the projectile force of the ballista to adjust the required range.

The lower part of the ballista is a movable platform. The lower part is a wheeled chassis with a brake card. The upper part can adjust the angle of the ballista, giving it relatively flexible firing direction and elevation angle.

There is also a relevant insurance mechanism when a fixed launch is required.

In addition, there are obvious traces of magic modification on the ballista's body.

For example, a small frost magic disk is arranged on the firing structure, and three [fourth-level frost magic gems] are embedded on it. Through magic patterns and specific conduction tracks, the attack can be equipped with frost elemental magic power.

Looking at the track of the crossbow, it was mainly used to launch heavy crossbows.

Obviously, this kind of ballista is a defensive instrument.

Most of the similar defensive equipment, except for the magic artillery, requires the preparation of appropriate crossbows.

This kind of heavy crossbow arrows can also be bought in the [market], and they generally follow the same rules.

Naturally, a batch of them were also stored in the territory, because Zong Shen had obtained similar heavy-duty position crossbows a long time ago.

It has to be said that in terms of mechanical structure and design alone, this crossbow looks more sophisticated than the [Nord Formation Breaking Heavy Bed Crossbow (Purple)]. This is the gap in manufacturing technology.

After the defensive challenge is over, Zong Shen plans to hand over the ballista to the goblin mechanical senior engineer Iron Hand Barenque, and let him and the dwarf uncle study the mechanical structure of this thing.

Maybe a replica can be made.

Even without the blessing of frost elemental magic, the power of an ordinary ballista made with just the current structure would not be much worse.

This plan is still very feasible.

For this ballista, you still need to check its attributes for the specific situation.

[Level 4 Ice Roaring Ballista (Purple)]

[Heavy Ballista/Elemental Ballista]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Piercing damage: 142~145]

[Range: 400 meters]

[Shoot height: 220 meters]

[Sturdiness value: 1500]

[Armor value: 35]

[Magic Resistance: 40]

[Active skill: Powerful Shot lv10 (increases the maximum effective range to 100 meters, the maximum effective shooting height to 50 meters, and the crossbow bolts fired during the period will increase the puncture damage by an additional 50 points, lasting 10 minutes, and the cooling time is 2 hours)

Ice Roar Shot lv10 (making each crossbow bolt detonate on the spot after hitting it, causing an ice roar effect within a radius of five meters around it. All enemies within this range will receive 120 points of frost magic damage and be frozen accordingly. Effect, duration 5 minutes, cooling time 2 hours)]

Passive skill: Frost Shot (each crossbow bolt is enchanted by frost elemental magic, causing an additional 80 points of frost magic damage to the target, and causing a corresponding freezing effect)

Garrison level 5 (When the Ice Roaring Ballista is set up within the territory, the damage it causes to the enemy will be increased by 15%)]

(The heavy ballista of the ancient human kingdom uses an exquisite mechanical structure design and is combined with the magic power of the frost element, so that the crossbow bolts it fires have frost magic damage, which can freeze the enemy and slow down the enemy's movement.

You need to use the matching model of heavy crossbow arrows to fire normally)

It's a good defensive equipment, just to increase the defensive ability of the territory.

During this period of time, Zong Shen also collected some defensive/siege equipment through various channels, such as positional crossbows, magic artillery, trebuchets, etc. It just so happened that tomorrow's defense challenge would be all out for a walk!

After finishing the research, Zong Shen raised his hand and put away the [Tier 4 Ice Roaring Ballista (Purple)], and then handed it over to Mariel for flexible arrangement.

There is nothing much to say about the remaining three items in this [Golden Treasure Chest].

Those two [Level 4 Sergeant Rhodok Recruitment Scrolls] are included in the recruitment scroll reserve.

The [Clawed Mole Mark (Blue)] is a typical summoning item, which can summon several captain-level clawed moles. These moles have certain combat capabilities, but their most prominent feature is the ability to dig. land.

Several captain-level [Clawed Mole] gather together, and their digging efficiency is even better than a [Magic Drilling Machine (Purple)], which can still come in handy on certain occasions.

So this [Clawed Mole Mark (Blue)] Zong Shen will put it in the territory [storage box] and let other heroes distribute it.

There is no need to go into details about the last item. It is an excellent food. It is all grilled and shiny meat steaks. It looks very appetizing and can provide certain buffs after eating.

The best consumption period of this [BBQ Dinner (Blue)] is three days. During these three days, the power of the Lord System will ensure that it is always in the most suitable state for consumption, including temperature, taste, and freshness. .

Zong Shen ate it when he was preparing to defend the challenge, which saved him a meal and allowed him to have a free whoring.

After all, the props and items consumed after the defensive challenge will be restored, and there is no time lapse.

In other words, these 24 hours of defensive challenge do not exist in Endless Continent, they only exist and are meaningful to the lords.

This setting is very nice!

The inspection of the two [Golden Treasure Chests] has been completed.

He kicked the empty box aside, walked slowly to the third [Golden Treasure Box], raised his hand and put all the light balls from this treasure box into the storage compartment, and then checked the box. Hints after.

[Open the gold treasure chest successfully]

[Obtain: Commander Tower Construction Blueprint (Orange) × 1]

[Obtain: Unknown Dimensional Beacon (Unknown) × 1]

[Obtain: Frost Thrower (Purple) × 1]

[Obtain: Frost Compressed Gas Tank (Purple) × 30]

[Obtain: Fast double-click light crossbow (blue) × 1]

[Get: Runner Leather Boots (Blue) × 1]

…

The third [Golden Treasure Chest] opened a total of six items.

Among them are one legendary item, one [unknown] item, two matching rare items, and two excellent pieces of equipment. Overall, they are pretty good.

Although it's not a "double yolk egg", an [unknown] item is still available.

The first thing Zong Shen took out was an architectural drawing. It was a complete building with one drawing and one cover, which saved time and effort.

He directly mastered the architectural drawings and included them in the [Build] option, and then checked the detailed attributes of the building.

[Commander Tower Construction Drawings (Orange)]

[Quality: Legendary special building]

[Requirements: Commander Tower Construction Drawing × 1]

[A complete building can be built without spending materials, please choose an area to place it]

[Construction time: 50 minutes]

[Sturdiness value: 7000]

[Building Armor Value: 70]

[Building magic resistance: 75]

[Area: 900 square meters]

[Height of control tower: 120 meters]

[Coverage: radius 20 kilometers]

[Active effect: Designated detection (a designated detection is performed on an area with a radius of 200 meters within the range, which can detect levels ≤5 levels of stealth, concealment, fog, camouflage, etc., and project guidance on the detected target chicken heart, Cooling time 1 hour)

Range sound transmission (can carry out small-scale sound transmission within the range covered by the commander's tower, so that the commander's orders can be transmitted everywhere in time. This effect has no cooldown)

Defense tower/defense building control integration (the authority of the commander tower can overlap with the authority of the lord. Through the commander tower, the lord can quickly control the territorial defense towers and defense buildings within the range to carry out concentrated attacks. This effect has no cooldown)

Commander's Favor (repairs all territorial buildings within the range, restoring 30% of the upper limit of solidity value within 10 seconds, and repairs the corresponding damaged parts of the building without consuming any materials. This effect can only be used every 168 hours Use once)]

[Passive effect: Commander’s observation perspective (can dynamically observe the area within the tower from an overhead perspective, with a fifth-level detection effect from this perspective, and can zoom in at 5 times)

Commander ejects to escape (when the commander tower is destroyed, the commander sitting inside will eject from the tower and obtain a levitation effect that lasts for 5 minutes)]

[Up to three commanders can be appointed into the tower at the same time]

[For non-lord commanders to enter the tower, they need to be authorized by the lord in advance, otherwise some effects will not be activated]

(The strong tower where the commander sits can mobilize defensive arrow towers and defensive buildings in a unified manner, and can also observe, monitor, transmit sound, and even repair buildings within the range.

After a battle breaks out, you can appoint and authorize three commanders to enter it, or you can serve as the commander yourself.

Through the two effects of [Commander Observation Perspective] and [Defense Tower/Defense Building Control Integration], you can hit wherever the territorial defense tower points, focus the fire if you want, and disperse the attack if you want to disperse it)

"Well, this Commander's Tower is pretty good!"

"It's equivalent to a convenient command terminal!"

"The coverage area reaches a considerable radius of 20 kilometers, and it can also repair buildings within the range."

"The most interesting thing is its observation perspective, which is equivalent to having the authority to observe the overall situation of some battlefields."

"It's like unilaterally lifting some of the fog of war restrictions in a battle game."

Zong Shen raised his hand and rubbed the short stubble on his chin, and quickly understood the role of this [Commander Tower (orange)], which can improve the defensive coordination of the territory.

Improve the output efficiency of defense towers and defense buildings, achieve relatively refined operations, and reduce the chance of useless output.

It can also "boost" the buildings of the territory without consuming any resources. Zong Shen likes this unreasonable free-for-profit skill.

This is definitely a very practical building, suitable for placement near the lord's fortress.

He has already mastered the drawings. He can discuss the layout of the building with Mariel later.

Anyway, the complete drawing does not require the consumption of materials, and the construction time is relatively short.

After checking the [Commander Tower Construction Drawing (Orange)], Zong Shen started to look at the next item.

He took out a gray eight-pointed star from the storage compartment.

This eight-pointed star is an irregular sphere with sharp corners.

The material looks like some kind of gray spar, with a frosted surface and not translucent at all.

When placed under a light source, it neither transmits light nor reflects light. Apart from its rather peculiar shape, everything looks ordinary.

I'm afraid that even if this thing is thrown into a pile of rocks, no one will pick it up.

However, as an [Unknown] level item, this thing must have a bit of a reputation.

Judging from its name, this seems to be a coordinate that can locate another dimension.

Regardless, let’s take a look at its attributes and the hidden information in the guide notes.

He grabbed the strange stone, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at it.

[Unknown dimensional beacon (unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[A strange crystal that comes from nowhere, with a mysterious beacon hidden inside it]

[The beacon cannot be activated and the location of the beacon cannot be located at the moment]

[(You can try to activate the beacon once for every 10,000 magic points entered)]

(A different-dimensional beacon is recorded here. After successful activation, a one-way inter-dimensional transmission channel can be opened through this beacon, forcing the initiator to enter the transmission channel.

Therefore, the dimension corresponding to the beacon is in a special state, and the beacon cannot be activated within a short period of time.

The next time point when the beacon can be activated is expected to be 5 years, 3 months and 9 days later. There is a chance that the beacon can be activated by inputting magic values ​​between 11:00 and 15:00.

Note that this beacon is a one-way space beacon, and the teleportation gate it opens is also a one-way teleportation channel. Once you enter the teleportation channel, you will directly arrive in another dimension and cannot return to the dimensional world where the Endless Continent is.

It is not recommended to turn on this beacon before taking measures to return)

…

"In other words, this thing is the key to another dimension?"

"And you can't just turn it on whenever you want..."

Obviously, this thing is a low-end product...

It cannot be activated now, and the next activation will be delayed, five years from now.

According to the law of development, Zong Shen's men should be preparing to build several giant cities in five years' time!

Speaking of traveling to another dimension, Zong Shen suddenly remembered that he had obtained another item not long ago!
