Chapter 302 Treants in Armor, Orcs Carrying Cannons

The surrounding soldiers were numb.

This speed is a vivid representation of how quickly someone can disappear without a trace.

Next is the endurance test.

Lin Mo ran at full speed on the treadmill for a full ten minutes before his heart rate began to rise noticeably.

Liu Chengen looked at the monitoring data and nodded in satisfaction:

"Its endurance also far exceeds the Tier 3 standard on Terra."

"Commander Lin, congratulations."

"You are now a standard Tier 3 mid-level warrior."

He paused.

"If you were on Terra, you could take on a cavalry charge head-on, maintain agility while wearing plate armor, and have no problem cutting through chainmail with a greatsword."

"The core guards that nobles are scrambling to get are people of your caliber."

Lin Mo clenched his fist.

I can feel the surging power within my body.

Is this what it feels like to be in the third tier?

Cool!

So awesome!

Liu Chengen patted Lin Mo on the shoulder:

"Alright, that's enough testing for today."

"Go back and get some rest, let your body adapt to the new level of power."

"I'll give you another full physical exam tomorrow to see if there are any hidden problems."

Lin Mo nodded:

"it is good."

He turned to leave.

After taking only two steps, he turned back to look at Liu Chengen:

"Academician Liu, can we mass-produce that dragon blood?"

"If possible, pilots and astronauts can have some; if it can be made more widespread, soldiers will need it too."

Liu Chengen was taken aback.

"Commander Lin, you've put in a lot of effort. Although it's very difficult, I will do my best."

Lin Mo smiled:

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Watching Lin Mo's departing figure.

A thoughtful look flashed in Liu Chengen's eyes.

"The dragon blood is even more effective than expected..."

"If only we could mass-produce the diluted version..."

"The overall strength of the soldiers of Great Xia can indeed be improved by a large step, especially the pilots, who can withstand higher G-speeds."

He turned to look at the five giant dragons that were resting in the distance.

His eyes ignited with the excitement characteristic of a research fanatic.

"If they can't reissue it, I'll just try my luck with a pull!"

.......

In a good mood, Lin Mo walked into the alien weapon design office area.

This is a large, temporary office building.

The lobby on the first floor has been converted into an open-plan workspace, with dozens of computers lined up in a row.

Various 3D modeling drawings are displayed on the screen, with precise lines and dense data.

The weapons design researchers wore headphones and their fingers flew across the keyboards.

He would occasionally turn his head and exchange a few words with the representative of the foreign race beside him.

In the open space outside the office building, five giant dragons lay on the ground, dozing off.

The hot breath exhaled from the nostrils condenses into white mist in the air.

Several trees, hundreds of meters tall, are rooted in the soil, their canopies blocking out the sun.

The orcs gathered in twos and threes, cracking open the melon seeds given to them by the Great Xia, showing that they simply couldn't stop.

The whole area was bustling like an interracial expo.

As soon as Lin Mo entered the hall, he heard discussions coming from the elves.

"General, what do you think of this design—"

A young designer pointed to the 3D model on the screen, speaking rapidly:

"We designed a circular steel fortress for the lower body of the Tree Man, which is thirty meters high, which is equivalent to giving the Tree Man a steel skirt."

The model on the screen slowly rotated.

The silver-gray steel fortress clung tightly to the tree-man's torso, its numerous firing ports clearly visible.

The designer continued:

"When the treant stands up and moves, the fortress will be lifted off the ground and suspended in mid-air, without affecting the movement speed."

"When fighting, tree people take root and fortresses are built on the ground, forming a 30-meter-high steel wall."

"Defending against sieges and leaping attacks from demons below the third rank is no problem at all."

General Adrian stared at the screen, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He never imagined that tree people could be transformed in this way.

The designer tapped on the keyboard, and the model switched to a cross-sectional view:

"To reduce weight, we use a special alloy that is strong enough and weighs only one-third of traditional steel."

"The fortress has hundreds of weapon firing ports, which can be used to mount heavy machine guns and howitzers."

"It can also be used by elven warriors for archery and spellcasting, and can be used flexibly."

"The top of the fortress is a weapons platform, equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, rocket launchers, the LD-2000 close-in weapon system, and multi-barrel cannons."

"The elven warriors can fight while standing on the treants, just like before, and wield these weapons at the same time."

"Reloading and aiming are clearly divided, and the firepower coverage is comprehensive."

After listening, Adrian remained silent for a few seconds.

He could already picture the tree-men in armor fighting in his mind.

He slowly opened his mouth:

"This design...perfectly meets our operational needs."

"Treemen are already mobile natural fortresses, now they're reinforced with steel defenses and firepower."

"It can completely withstand the impact of demon hordes below the third rank."

"The low-level demons like inferior demons, demon hounds, and undead cannot break through this defense line at all."

The designer nodded:

"That's right, but there are two high-risk targets that require special attention—the Corruptor and the Throwing Demon."

"The Corruptor's acid will corrode metal fortresses, and throwing magic energy will precisely destroy the weapons on the Treants from a distance."

"It can also attack elven warriors."

"But it's not a big problem. You just need to prioritize cleaning up these high-risk units."

Adrian's eyes lit up:

"So, this means our main firepower can be concentrated on bombarding high-ranking demons of the third tier and above?"

"Should we use our elite elves' high-level combat power to restrain demons of the sixth rank and above who are fast and have strong defenses?"

The designer gave a thumbs up:

"The general understands it very well!"

"The ideal combat mode is: bombard the high-level demons with artillery, and use close-in defense systems to intercept projectiles and flying units."

"The elite elf focuses on dealing with troublesome targets of level six and above."

"In this way, the Tree People become mobile steel fortresses, capable of fighting, resisting, and running away."

When Adrian saw Lin Mo arrive, he gave Lin Mo a thumbs up and grinned.

"Lord Lin Mo, the designers of Great Xia are truly remarkable!"

"I am very satisfied with this plan!"

Lin Mo nodded with a smile.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Adrian thought for a moment and then asked the elf behind him to summon Elder Wood Whisper.

After Elder Muyu arrived and examined the design drawings, the two discussed it in hushed tones and immediately made a decision:

"Let's go with this plan!"

"We elves will fully cooperate, so don't worry about the reward!"

Lin Mo had already arrived at the orcs' side.

Warwick, the orc leader, was sitting cross-legged on the ground so that he could accommodate his enormous height, which far exceeded that of a human.

He leaned forward, staring intently at the designer's computer screen, occasionally slapping his thigh in excitement.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Warwick pointed his thick finger at the cannon model on the screen:

"We orcs—the bear-men, minotaurs, werewolves, and centaurs—are all over three meters tall and incredibly strong!"

"We could easily carry around that thick cannon, aim, and fire!"

"You don't need to worry about recoil; just design a grip for us, and we can handle it!"

The designer adjusted his glasses, seemingly excited by this insane, purely violent design.

"That makes things easier!"

"We can design it like a rocket launcher, with a larger caliber and double the amount of propellant."

"One shot can blow up a whole area."

"Or it could be made into a heavy sniper cannon, with immense single-shot power, long range, and precise strikes against the demon race."

"There's also a towed cannon modification that removes the base, allowing for direct hand-held firing and greater maneuverability."
