[Integration successful! You have developed the [Electromagnetic Scanning Tactical Goggles]!]
"Oh?"
Han Xiao raised an eyebrow. This wasn't what he wanted, but it would be useful for Sniping. It was more accurate than thermal imaging and could scan through walls. If used on a scope, it would make penetrating walls much more accurate.
"One more time."
[... This time, 30,000 experience points were consumed.]
[Integration successful! You have developed the [Electromagnetic Pulse Jammer]!]
"This is it." Han Xiao nodded. There were quite a few blueprints for this combination. The Electromagnetic Pulse Jammer was a very common blueprint, and the probability of it appearing was high. In addition to the jammer, there were several other blueprints that could meet his requirements. He had originally prepared for the experience of the third fusion, but this saved him some experience.
Electromagnetic Pulse Jammer, this thing is infamous, it's called MMP... wait, I mean EMP.
The desert has no shortage of vehicles, and as Sniping, mastering the distance is key, making anti-vehicle jammers indispensable.
Oh right, we're also missing some high-powered bombs, landmines, and traps.
Touching his chin, Han Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up as he had a new idea.
"This time it seems like we don't need to merge; we can try creating our own!"
Previously, players had limited use of the custom creation function, but they could truly comprehend knowledge, combine it with the principles of other blueprints, create new blueprints, and supplement the various details of their designs with their own knowledge. By using the custom creation function to bypass the long research and development process, they might even be able to research some impressive blueprints ahead of time.
The core principle of High Combustion Ammunition is a highly flammable gas. If this gas is compressed into a larger container, its power will increase, becoming comparable to that of a fragmentation mine.
Since the goal is to make explosive landmines, gunpowder and projectiles need to be added. This requires considering the ignition method of sealed high-flammable gas. Han Xiao thought for a moment and decided to divide the bomb into layers. The high-flammable gas was neutralized with an inert gas and sealed in one layer. A mechanism was left, set up as a time-delay trigger. When the time was up, it would automatically open, and the gas would leak into the gunpowder, directly igniting and detonating it.
However, since he was going to create something new, Han Xiao thought he might as well add more diverse power to the finished product and incorporate the principles of the Heim Bullet.
Let's do it!
Han Xiao quickly refined his ideas and began manufacturing. To create a self-made machine, a finished product must be built first before determining whether the creation was successful. Since players create their own machines by setting a design route, placing materials and parts, selecting tools, and then starting the loading screen, the success rate is entirely based on luck.
Han Xiao, on the other hand, personally participated in every aspect of the manufacturing process, allowing for fine-tuning at any stage, resulting in a success rate on a completely different level.
Soon, a metal disc mine with a diameter of about thirty centimeters was created. He opened the panel and activated the self-created judgment.
[Currently judging whether the drawing is original...]
[Judgment Failed]
"It actually failed." Han Xiao frowned slightly.
A failure to achieve the intended effect must be due to the machine's inability to do so, or a significant defect.
He found a place to test the power of the Number One prototype and discovered that there was a problem with the triggering of the high-flammable gas, gunpowder fragments, and poison gas. It exploded, but the power was far from what was expected, so he had to modify it again.
The gas was extremely difficult to control; even the slightest mistake meant starting over. With each attempt to perfect the machinery, the testing ground at Farrian's outpost, used to test the power of weapons, was blasted into a charred mess, filled with poisonous gas. Even he himself had to retreat, otherwise he would continue to lose health.
Finally, after the thirteenth failure, the panel emitted a heavenly notification sound.
[Detection successful! You have successfully developed your own blueprint!]
A blueprint for a new type of bomb appeared in Han Xiao's mind. The panel automatically recorded all the principles. Han Xiao glanced at the effect and pondered, "Let's call it the High-Incendiary Gas Delayed-Time Bomb... That's too unoriginal. Let's call it the Poison Explosion Incendiary Mine!"
[Naming successful! You have obtained the custom blueprint [Poison Explosion Incendiary Mine]!]
Once a self-created blueprint is recognized by the panel, it becomes a skill. The blueprint level can be improved through experience, and you will have a clear understanding of various parameters. With templates to refer to, the manufacturing speed becomes faster.
"Just as I thought, the custom blueprint function suits my situation perfectly and has enormous potential to be explored." Han Xiao's eyes shone brightly.
"The next step is to manufacture a sufficient number of bombs."
night.
Han Xiao drove to an open area, set off a row of fireworks with a delayed launch time. He then proceeded to the only route the Rose Armed Forces would take to reach this area, where he laid traps, jammers, and Poison Explosion Incendiary Mine.
You should ask him how he determined this was the only way.
Hmm... have you heard that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line?
Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the enemy might take a detour, but even if that doesn't result in a loss, at most we just won't be able to ambush anyone, and we can try again next time.
The Electromagnetic Pulse Jammer is a cylindrical device with a base. Han Xiao's version is a portable model, about one meter tall, with a radiation diameter of 300 meters. It releases high-frequency electromagnetic signals, interfering with precision instruments and electronic components, and damaging targets including communication equipment, electronic control instruments, and detection radar. It is extremely effective against vehicles, acting on the vehicle's electronic control system, such as sensors and controllers, causing the vehicle to malfunction.
Although Han Xiao didn't believe that Rose Armed Forces's vehicles had undergone electromagnetic interference protection, he cautiously set the jammer's power to an extremely high level. This meant that unless the entire vehicle was encased in electromagnetically shielding metal, even the slightest gap would trigger an attack. The trade-off was that the jammer consumed a tremendous amount of energy; a high-energy battery worth two thousand yuan would be depleted in ten seconds... But that didn't matter much. The jammer didn't need to continuously release EMP; as long as the first wave of attacks was completed, the effect would be the same.
After setting the trap, he parked his off-road vehicle behind a sand dune, about 400 meters away from the trap location. Then he quietly lay prone on the ground, holding his Red Falcon and aiming, like a patient hunter waiting.
The desert temperature plummeted at night, and the cold wind whipped up sand and dust. Han Xiao wrapped his high-necked trench coat tighter around his neck and put on thick leather gloves to prevent his hands from freezing and affecting his accuracy.
"Boom!"
Within the designated area, more than a dozen fireworks shot into the sky, standing out prominently against the night sky and clearly visible even from more than ten kilometers away.
Something's up!
Inside the Rose Armed Forces stronghold, the lookout spotted the distant fireworks exploding and quickly informed their leader Luo Qing.
Luo Qing quickly ordered, "Dorothy, take some men to investigate. Be careful of other armed groups. If you encounter an attack, immediately send out a distress signal."
Dorothy nodded, selected twenty mercenaries, quickly donned their tactical gear, filled their pockets with various magazines and grenades, and rode off in four desert off-road vehicles.
At the Gordon Mercenary Organization's stronghold, their leader, Gordon, also saw the fireworks and coldly said, "Send men to investigate; a shootout might break out. Bring all your men."
Armored off-road vehicles drove out of Gordon's base.
Similar scenes were also unfolding at several other faction strongholds nearby, where fireworks could be seen.
The Rose Armed Forces SUV sped along, its tires kicking up sand and leaving a long trail of sand behind it.
"Instructor Dorothy, do you think that could be a sign of Feronya's arrival?" a female mercenary asked.
Dorothy had a fierce appearance; when she pursed her lips, she resembled a black tiger ready to pounce on its prey. Her eyes flashed with a menacing light as she coldly snorted, "Hmph, if Feronya were so easy to find, we wouldn't have wasted over two years here. This is probably some kind of trickery by someone else. Everyone, be on high alert; it might be another trap set by Gordon!"
"Buzz--"
As soon as she finished speaking, a strange electrical sound suddenly rang out. Dorothy's superhuman senses detected a peculiar fluctuation spreading from not far away. At the same time, sparks crackled and popped from the car's dashboard. The four SUVs immediately lost control and wobbled and crashed together as if drunk, unable to start no matter how hard the drivers pressed the accelerator.
"Enemy attack!" Dorothy exclaimed in alarm, scanning her surroundings warily.
What disabled their car? Could it be an EMP?!
The mercenaries hurriedly scanned their surroundings, but all they could see was yellow sand under the night sky; they couldn't discern anything unusual.
The desert is vast and empty, with an unobstructed view of the starry night sky, and a desolate night wind blows by.
The group of Rose Armed Forces mercenaries felt a chill run down their spines, as if a giant hand was gripping their necks, the oppressive feeling almost suffocating them.
"Bang!"
A Rose Armed Forces mercenary was blasted away by the immense kinetic energy, crashing onto the yellow sand with a thud, and fell silent, a gruesome gaping hole in his chest.
"Sniping! Get behind the car!" Dorothy was shocked and furious. She hurriedly told her teammates to take cover behind the car and fired a distress flare into the sky, its white light illuminating the night.
The Rose Armed Forces Mercenaries felt a little relieved. The stronghold was very close by; as long as they held out for fifteen minutes, reinforcements would arrive!
Lying on the sand dune, Han Xiao looked up at the distress flare and clicked his tongue, saying, "So this is a cloud-piercing arrow, summoning a thousand armies? A naiveté, more like clothing."
He switched to a high-incendiary magazine and fired a shot that hit the location where the Poison Explosion Incendiary Mine was buried. Where the bullet landed, flames ignited, scorching the Poison Explosion Incendiary Mine buried under the sand.
"Boom--"
With a deafening roar, a raging sea of fire erupted, triggering a chain reaction that caused the other landmines Han Xiao had planted to explode one after another!
Flames engulfed the four vehicles, mixed with thick poisonous gas, and the panel frantically displayed continuous damage inflicted by both poison and burning on enemies.
The Heim Bullet is a type of poison gas bomb, also known as the "Righteous Heim Grenade." Its principle is applied to Poison Explosion Incendiary Mine, making its destructive power more versatile.
Coughing sounds rang out repeatedly, Dorothy felt nauseous and irritable. Her ordinary teammates were in even worse shape, feeling dizzy and vomiting.
If we stay put, everyone will either be burned or poisoned!
"That treacherous bastard!" Dorothy roared, fighting back a wave of nausea. "Charge! Only by taking out the Sniping can we live!"
