Chapter Eighty-Seven This thing is black technology

  Cough cough, power outages are always frustrating...

  ——————

  The timing of the beast tide's explosion is unknown. During this period, it can be said that humans have to do a lot of reconnaissance work every day. So far, no abnormal places have been found, but this is also the calm before the storm. Maybe after one or two months, when the weather gets colder, the beast tide will suddenly erupt.

  At this time, the one who came most frequently was Haruhi Suzumiya...

  "That's enough." With a smile, Haruhi Suzumiya gazed at the long barrel of the gun in front of her... The length of this gun alone already exceeded the height of these people.

  Others' eyes twitched at the sight, this thing was a super fierce weapon, although not many people in the scene could move it, but when they saw Jiǔ Mìng holding and playing with this hundred-jin giant gun with ease, ā Xū and others felt more like their eggs were hurting.

  If the one holding this gun was a muscular devil with bulging muscles, it would be somewhat acceptable. But the key is that Jiǔ Mìng's thin and weak appearance makes him look out of place playing with this kind of thing!

  "Can use?"

  "Got it!" replied the ninth life with certainty. This high-energy beam gun had no magazine, and there was a slot next to the barrel that could be opened to directly insert high-energy crystals into the built-in excitation device, which could hold five at a time.

  Above the simultaneously pulled groove is a small tempered display screen that detects and prompts the status of the built-in high-energy crystal.

  Miniaturized ignition devices are not for ordinary high-energy crystals! Mid-range ones are popular, and high-end ones are the mainstay. After all, when miniaturization is achieved, the internal capacity will also decrease, so it's impossible to rely on quantity to pile up, only quality can make up for it.

  Does it feel like the production is a bit too simple? Not necessarily, with different worldviews and difficulties, this world's high-energy crystal mine has a derivative product that isolates energy. It's because of this thing that the process of compressing the released energy becomes simplified. And for things like gun barrels, Nine Lives Toro Haschi provided a lot of that energy-isolating material when making it.

  The addition of this substance has reduced the need for built-in cooling devices throughout the gun, as this insulating material will not produce excessive overheating even with continuous firing, and does not require high-efficiency cooling.

  Name: High-Energy Beam Gun (Incomplete)

  Type: Weapon

  [Attribute: None]

  [Quality: Excellent]

  What a pity it's an imperfect product... but you can use it to hit people, so that's also a pretty good weapon.

  Jiǔ Mìng took a look and felt that this information only needed to be known by himself for now, the quality of the weapon was already top-notch, after all it was a product of Xī.

  "Let's go, let's test the gun." With a relaxed expression, Jiǔ Mìng easily shouldered this massive killing tool and chuckled lightly.

  "Ah, ah, ah, the team leader has already chosen a place!" Haruhi Suzumiya nodded enthusiastically, her initial plan to engage in a prolonged battle of wits and prepare for a Gauss gun and high-energy bombs was completely abandoned.

  In a desolate wilderness with scarce human presence, Haruhi Suzumiya tried to weigh the beam gun in Mikuru's hand, her eyebrows slightly trembling. "So heavy!"

  "Of course, it's heavy." Jiǔ Mìng took out a pale blue high-energy crystal and opened the gun's slot. He inserted the crystals one by one until five were loaded, then closed the slot. On the small display screen above the slot, a battery-like icon appeared, with "Full Power" indicating that the high-energy crystal inside was fully charged.

  Unlocked the lock screen on the small screen, Jiǔ Mìng thought for a moment and directly chose the lowest power option among the four options of low, medium, high, and extremely high... Although it may not be able to fire, what needs to be done must be done, and now it can't be used in a while, but there's also an extreme mode... It's just that this is temporarily not discussed, without advanced high-energy crystals, don't even think about achieving it.

  "Alright, who's going first?"

  "I'm here!" As expected, no sooner had Jiǔ Mìng's words fallen than Liáng Gōng Chūn Rì scurried over and burrowed into Jiǔ Mìng's arms. "You help me resist."

  "Wait! Isn't this too reckless? What if there's danger, and the recoil of this gun must be tremendous, right?" Ah Xū asked with some concern.

  "Zero risk, internal components are extremely stable, recoil can be ignored." After a authoritative explanation by Koizumi, the impatient Suzumiya Haruhi, with the help of Mikuru, set out to find the target that was about to meet its doom - a weathered stone.

  Through the sight of the scope, Haruhi Suzumiya excitedly licked her small tongue and pulled the trigger with shining eyes, without any hesitation at all. You really don't put that unnecessary hidden factor in your heart, do you!

  A pale blue energy beam shot out of the muzzle in an instant, with a very low sound emitted throughout the process, only that kind of air-breaking friction sound, and as for Jiǔ Mìng himself, he felt almost zero recoil, and as for that stone, there was a small hole on it...

  The gun has been fired successfully!

  Jiǔ Mìng clearly saw the 'battery' on the display screen drop by one grid, the lowest power output! Even an ordinary high-energy crystal can only support one shot, isn't this just burning money!?

  According to the parameters in the book, mid-range power is five times that of low-range, and high-range is five times that of mid-range... Consumption naturally also increases synchronously. The power of mid-range, one shot, ordinary high-energy crystals as ammunition can't even be brought into play! Even if it's forced out, it can only be said to be mid-to-low range.

  Because consumption increases tenfold with each step up...

  "It feels like it's a bit too weak." Haruhi Suzumiya said with a hint of disappointment, looking at the small hole that had appeared on the surface of the large stone.

  "What kind of power do you think that is!?" The corners of Kuyou's mouth twitched, because under the constraints of common sense, this gun wouldn't become a planet-destroying weapon even if it were to be distorted and corrected.

  "At least 'boom' and turn this stone into steamed bun fragments!" Cool Palace Spring Day swung her arms, making a rather exaggerated analogy, and Jiuming pressed her forehead.

  "I can't take it anymore, look at this!"

  He stretched out a finger and inserted it into the hole, gently pulling outward, and saw that Jiǔ Mìng's hand had an additional piece of stone skin... a very thin layer. In the midst of their stunned expressions on that spring day, the interior of the entire boulder seemed to have been pulverized, with fine stone particles flowing out through the hole.

  "......" Ah, Kō and Furukawa Ichirō were staring at the large stone that had been crushed internally, their foreheads sweating. This was a bit too brutal! If it hit someone, they would definitely be charred on the outside and tender on the inside!

  "What? How is this possible?" Haruhi Suzumiya exclaimed, trying to pull out the thin layer of stone skin from the gap that Kyouko had created. The thin layer was easily torn off, and the fine grains of stone that flowed out still retained a warm temperature.

  "It should be that after the energy beam hits an object, the condensed energy produces a diffused effect. " Jiǔ Mìng shrugged and explained, observing these stone particles, which were obviously shattered by a powerful energy, "After all, what was fired out wasn't real light, but rather an energy attack condensed from energy."

  At the same time, Jiǔ Mìng also felt a variety of cruelty from this weapon. The concentrated energy strike not only had extremely strong penetration power, but also because of its energy strike characteristics, when it hit an obstacle, the concentrated energy would be affected and produce a diffusive effect. As long as the defense was broken, the energy strike that burst out within the target...

  There are pros and cons, and a diffusion strike effect will occur, causing the energy beam to decay greatly with each target it penetrates.

  "It's unclear but ominous." Ah Xū nodded solemnly with a serious face, Jiǔ Mìng glanced at him.

  "I also don't think ordinary people can understand."

  "Ah! What a wonderful person!"

  ……

  Name: High-Energy Beam Gun

  Type: Weapon

  [Attribute: None]

  Quality: Rare

  "Note: It's actually perfect with this kind of distortion... I didn't think you could come up with something like this... This thing is unreplicable, unresearchable black technology!"

  Convertible Source Power: 5000

  "Alas." Looking at the small pile of high-energy crystals in front of him that had lost their color and turned transparent, Jiǔ Mìng sighed. It's only been a short while, and over a hundred high-energy crystals have already been used up like this. Is it really necessary to be so addicted?

  Anyway, Haruhi Suzumiya was finally satisfied. In the evening, in a beverage store, Haruhi Suzumiya drank while thinking about something, "Maybe next time we're free, we can make our own movie?"

  Jiǔ Mìng shrugged his shoulders, perhaps in some future day he would definitely not be idle.

  "Oh? You're back?" Seeing Nine Lives come out of the 'Boundary Gate', C.C. said with an expressionless face, "Your luck with women is really good, a woman came looking for you just now."

  "Huh? Looking for me?" Kuromei put down the beam gun he always carried with him, asking somewhat curiously, "You're looking for me, a woman... Yakumo Yuko?"

  "She left again after seeing you weren't there." C.C. replied nonchalantly, holding a slice of pizza.

  "Is that so, maybe something's going on." Shaking his head, Jiu Ming had just sat down when C.C. moved the pizza box from one side to the other, as if guarding against thieves. During this time, she ate very frugally, unlike her usual self, where in the morning everything was fine, but by afternoon, a large pile of empty pizza boxes would appear on the coffee table in front of her.

  "C.C. fell silent for a moment, her gaze shifting to the large, futuristic-looking rifle placed beside Nine, 'Is this gun finished?'"

  "Ah, it's done, genuine high-tech." Jiǔ Mìng nodded and replied, then immediately showed a hint of worry, "However, I feel that this period of time will be tough."

  "Oh?"

  "This thing is simply a big spender." Using high-energy crystals as bullets... the style of a prodigal son, "I need to 'work (be idle)' for a while now."

  He took a deep breath, and Jiǔ Mìng took out the sealed card that stored 120 years of life force. With a flick of his finger, the sealed card was divided into twelve cards, like a magic trick with playing cards. In Jiǔ Mìng's hand, they were rearranged to form a fan shape. "A tycoon... would generally value their life more than money, right?"

  "...you're now smiling in a very eerie and nauseating way."

  “……”
