Chapter 71: Draw a Hammer?
It was getting darker much earlier recently.
Just after six o'clock in the evening on the wasteland, the entire city and forest was already dark.
In order to prevent a sneak attack, the players had set up torches outside the walls of the base, put a warning line in the woods, and hung warning bells.
In a while, it would be dawn in reality, and many people would have to go to work during the day. Only twenty players were left in the end, and the remaining thirty all chose to go offline.
However, among the thirty players who went offline, half said they were free in the afternoon, and that they would come back after noon.
It just happened that they could change shifts with players who were online "in the first half of the night".
Taking Little Seven back to the shelter for charging, Chu Guang, who sent away a group of players, sat on a chair in the residential lobby, opened the system panel, and confirmed his points.
Counting his one hundred points of rewards for completing the generator side mission, his current reward points have reached 122 points—just in time to buy a high-level blind box, two intermediate blind boxes, and two lollipops.
In addition, what Chu Guang did not expect was that with the completion of the last side mission, he really triggered a new mission to open the shelter B2 level——
[Mission: Exterminate Bloodhand Clan entrenched in the abandoned tire factory in the north of the shelter.
Type: Side mission
Reward: 404 Shelter B2 level authority]
"...Resolve the threat of external forces before opening the next level of shelter. Hmm..."
It's quite reasonable.
"I hope I can find some good things on the next floor, at least not as bare as the B1 floor, which has nothing but a hundred culture chambers and a computer."
"System, turn on Administrator Allowance!"
The light blue holographic screen appeared out of thin air, and there were three options in front of Chu Guang.
Without any hesitation, Chu Guang chose a high-level blind box and two intermediate blind boxes. He used the remaining two reward points on the primary blind box.
With a slight jitter, the alloy door embedded in the wall opened.
When he saw the big guy on the conveyor belt, Chu Guang was stunned.
'This……'
'Is it a weapon?'
The thing before him was a long-handled warhammer with a square head, sitting steadily on the conveyor belt.
The alloy-forged silver long handle was no taller than a person, and in the hammerhead part there was a bright silver metal arc, about the size of a human face.
The hammer body was inlaid with two indented metal grooves, one at the front and the other at the back; the steep engraved texture connected the two circles, which looked quite futuristic.
However, even while trying to view things from the first administrator's perspective, Chu Guang still found it really hard to associate this thing with a weapon.
'Does he want me to fight melee with a hammer?'
'If it were an axe or a javelin, it might still work, but rushing with such a big and heavy thing, my body would be riddled with holes!'
Walking forward, Chu Guang held the hammer handle with a weird expression. He thought it would be heavy, but he didn't expect that he would be able to lift it up easily.
"Huh?"
Although it was not light, it was also not as heavy as he expected. It was probably only about twenty to thirty kilograms.
Chu Guang tapped the surface of the hammer with his finger, but he couldn't tell if it was hollow inside.
'Is it made of aluminum alloy?'
'Or titanium alloy... or some special material I don't know about.'
Right at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly noticed that there were three touch buttons on the hammer handle.
Out of curiosity, he reached out his index finger and touched one of the buttons.
Chu Guang first heard a slight buzzing sound before he realized what was going on. High-intensity airflow gushed out from each of the four sides of the hammer without warning, and spewed backwards.
This served as a huge thrust which pushed the hammer forward.
Chu Guang, who was holding the hammer with both hands, almost lost his grip. He nearly slammed the hammer on the alloy door, the shock subconsciously prompting him to release the button he'd been pressing with his index.
"What the heck?!"
'Is this hammer equipped with nitrogen acceleration?'
'This is getting interesting!'
Chu Guang thought with a look of surprise. Then the translucent light blue holographic window popped out of his field of vision, floating beside the hammer.
It's like a label.
[Item: Nitrogen-powered hammer]
[Explanation: A special force field interferes with the nitrogen flow rate on the armor surface to realize the functions of defense, offense, and maneuvering.
In A mode, a swirling nitrogen flow can be formed on the top of the power hammer, thereby covering an umbrella-shaped defense surface with a maximum radius of one meter, offsetting and reducing the kinetic energy of the projectile, and has a good defense against light weapons.
In B mode, nitrogen can be compressed at the front of the power hammer to form nitrogen armor with a thickness of two to three millimeters, and the nitrogen armor can be released by blasting after contact with the target.
In C mode, a high-pressure nitrogen stream can be injected behind the power hammer to provide directional acceleration.
This product is recommended to be used with an assault exoframe. The B mode can have a good destructive effect on lightly armored targets, obstacles, and covers. ]
[Note: Because there is no built-in gas storage device, it cannot be used in vacuum and underwater environments without nitrogen. ]
With the instructions provided by the system, Chu Guang simply went and tried, and so, he finally figured out how to use this thing.
Simply put, there's a device built into this hammer that could interfere with nearby nitrogen molecules.
The A mode was equivalent to the defense mode, which could add a shield in front of the hammer.
The B mode was equivalent to accumulating force. It could instantly release the nitrogen compressed on the armor surface while hammering the target, producing a shock similar to a shock wave explosion?
The C mode was roughly equivalent to inserting a thruster behind the hammer, whether it was running or attacking, it could be very useful.
In addition, the Nitrogen-powered hammer was powered by a miniature cold fusion battery, which was located at the front end where the hammer handle was inserted into the hammer body.
According to the fluorescent marking on the end of the hammer handle, the battery was currently full. As long as it was not kept on, theoretically it should be possible to use the equipment until it stopped working.
But, in fact, it shouldn't be left on all the time.
According to the instructions provided by the system, continuous use would cause the circuit components in the equipment to overheat, and a protective power off would be triggered after the warning light that would flash for three seconds.
Holding this power hammer in his hand and playing with it for a while, Chu Guang couldn't help feeling amazed.
Technology beyond the scope of comprehension was really no different from magic.
Not to mention how this thing controls nitrogen molecules, just the miniature cold fusion battery at the top of the vertical handle had reached the realm of science fiction movies for him.
At least, Chu Guang couldn't imagine the principle at all.
'Should I take it apart and study it?'
'It's not impossible to dismantle it, but what's the point of doing so?'
'If its raw material is helium-3, it can only be mined on the moon, and if a certain material that is used to make it undergoes an unknown process, then the speed of reverse engineering is probably not as fast as the research from scratch.'
