Chapter 109 The Era of Mobile Communication Begins
Seeing that the electromagnetic railgun's trajectory angle and direction had been adjusted, all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, including Elder Xuan, and the four deans Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, Xian Liner, and Qian Duoduo, stepped forward to fulfill their roles as human charging stations.
Long You grabbed He Caitou and began to retreat rapidly. As he retreated, Long You took out various defensive soul tools from his storage soul tool device, and finally pulled out his soul-guided power armor, quickly slipping inside.
He Caitou didn't quite understand why Long You was doing this, but out of trust in his external brain, he did whatever Long You did.
After the electromagnetic railgun began to crackle with electricity thanks to the combined efforts of many powerful figures, Long You and He Caitou had already set up a soul-guided defense position at the far end of the underground hall, and were wearing soul-guided power armor and hiding tightly behind the activated defensive shield.
At this moment, the other five disciples who had followed them down were still in a daze, staring blankly at the electromagnetic rails not far away.
The teachers, who were unable to become human charging stations because their strength did not reach the level of a Title Douluo, looked at their five personal disciples with regret and pity.
"Teacher Fanyu, in the future, all of our disciples should communicate more. The academy is investing more in the Soul Guidance Department, so our students can no longer simply be lab technicians."
Seeing that his foolish disciple had no reaction whatsoever, and that even though everyone around him had taken emergency measures, he still hadn't caught on, a teacher who seemed to be on good terms with Fan Yu rubbed his forehead, looking troubled, and said to Fan Yu with a wry smile.
"That's right. The Panlong Realm will be put into use soon, and we must make the most of the practical experience of our Soul Guidance Department students."
While the teachers were exchanging words, they tossed the five silly boys who were preparing to observe the electromagnetic railgun firing at close range without any protection behind the protective measures that Long You and Cai Tou had set up.
As direct disciples, they might be a bit slow on the uptake and their reactions were indeed a little slow, but they still needed to show concern. The teachers promptly added an extra layer of advanced defenses to the perimeter of the shelter that Longyou and He Caitou had built.
"Xiao You, why is that?"
Seeing the other five being dragged over by the scruff of their necks, He Caitou realized that firing the electromagnetic railgun was indeed extremely dangerous. However, according to He Caitou's thinking, a properly functioning soul tool would never explode during use, so he still couldn't understand where the danger came from.
He Caitou used the internal communication system to ask a question, but Long You looked at the five senior brothers next to him who were also looking confused, and then thought about the complicated emotions on the teacher's face who had just sent these five people over, and very "generously" decided to speak on his microphone.
"Senior brother, whether it's an offensive or defensive soul tool, it will heat up after prolonged use, and the rate of heat generation is even faster when the power output is at its maximum. It's not uncommon for soul masters to suffer burns due to carelessness in using soul tools."
Senior brother, compare the size of the soul guides we use daily with the size of this electromagnetic railgun in front of us, which has a track length of over twenty kilometers.
Think about it again. This electromagnetic railgun was already running after it was infused with soul power. After such a long period of preparation and warm-up, how much heat would dissipate once it was fired?
Senior brother, do you really think that with our current cultivation level of only Soul Master, we can withstand the heat of the electromagnetic railgun explosion like our teachers did?
"Senior brother, when operating a large soul tool, besides rigorously and carefully checking for quality issues, we must also consider the recoil and heat dissipation; otherwise, it can easily injure others and harm ourselves."
"Buzz—hiss—"
As soon as Long You finished speaking, the electromagnetic railgun, which had been brewing for more than ten minutes, suddenly fired, and the satellite, which resembled a triangular fighter jet, was ejected.
Because the soundproof earmuffs were activated in time, Long You's ears were spared the damage from the noise. However, his eyes, which had been observing the electromagnetic soul-guided cannon through the visor of his tactical helmet, were temporarily blinded by the sudden burst of dazzling white light.
"Damn it, the visor on this tactical helmet needs to be modified. The current adaptive light system still requires reaction time, and it can't block out sudden bursts of light."
However, I don't plan to rebuild the Soul-Guided Power Armor; what I need are Battle Armor and Large Mechs. The tactical helmet modification requires adaptation to the Battle Armor, but as for the Large Mech, there's no need to worry about the helmet. Anyway, inside the Large Mech, the images I see will only be projected images filtered and adjusted by Bourne.
After a few breaths, Long You, with his eyes closed, felt the white light spots in front of him gradually disappear, so he tried opening his eyes and was able to see things again.
After glancing at the temperature displayed on the screen by Bourne, Long You estimated that his soul-guided power armor should be able to block the temperature. So, ignoring the other six people, including He Caitou, who were still unable to move, Long You controlled his soul-guided power armor to walk to Fan Yu's side.
"You recovered so quickly?"
"Teacher, have you forgotten that I designed a fixed-load soul missile called a stun grenade? Since I was able to design such a weapon, I naturally have some understanding of the effects of strong flashes."
In fact, my tactical helmet visor has a built-in light filter mode. However, the light filter mode needs time to adjust from sensing strong light to normal light levels.
I had time to deal with the stun grenades, but the intense light emitted by the electromagnetic railgun reached its peak immediately, so the light filtering mode didn't protect me from the first hit and caught me off guard.
Fortunately, the subsequent bursts of light didn't affect me, so I've been able to recover now.
Are there any improvement plans?
"Have."
"That's fine. Once is enough for a loss."
While Long You and Fan Yu were exchanging ideas, the various Title Douluos who had completed their power supply tasks were walking over in twos and threes as the electromagnetic rails began to be retrieved.
A Title Douluo is a Title Douluo indeed. Even though he was briefly used as a charging station at close range, look at his demeanor—he was completely relaxed, happy, and proud. Then look at the students hiding behind the defensive structures, still suffering terribly from the torment. The difference is too great to be judged by reason.
After the launch mission was completed, half an hour later, Qian Duoduo reported that the satellite had moved to the designated position. Long You then tried to contact his parents, who were far away in Tiandou City, using his mobile phone.
The call request was successfully sent out at that moment.
