After Jade City made its move, Zhou Yi imdiately reconfird with Red Kestrel, "Is there a possibility that the Organ Pipe could dive into the Dead Sea and then escape?"
"The database of Recursive City shows that this model of battleship does not have such a function. During the previous sea confrontation, when the Organ Pipe was destroyed, vital signs of the crew had already disappeared, and all are confird dead."
The drone alleviated Zhou Yi's concerns.
Red Kestrel said, "I have simulated and reconstructed the previous process by cross-referencing and capturing data through the database of Recursive City."
"Jade City launched and ignited columnar projectiles that detonated upon high-speed impact, producing a high-energy reaction with the Death Light fluid, creating strong thermal radiation covering the surrounding area as well as multiple shockwaves."
"This greatly increased its lethality and destruction range. Without special defense chanisms, bodies below Grade B would be destroyed."
Red Kestrel believed, "The power, skills, and vitality of Jade City's body require comprehensive Identification through professional equipnt to ascertain its ranking."
Zhou Yi put this aside for now.
Just reaching Recursive City was too far, 1900 kiloters, and the energy consumption of a round trip was extraordinary.
What he needed now was to recharge properly.
Zhou Yi placed his hand on the outer wall of Jade City and felt that the wall was still a bit warm.
"Is everything alright?"
Jade City responded, "It consud 2% of its energy and now has only about 15% left."
Zhou Yi thought it was no wonder.
An attack at the scale of bombing the Dead Sea, Jade City's energy consumption was massive.
He asked, "What kind of skill is this attack?"
"This is a stress test."
Jade City transmitted information, "Under the influence of ti and external conditions, every part of the body will experience wear and naturally shed. So structures will beco hazardous and need repair or even replacent to maintain the stability of the body."
"At that ti, I will create structures using natural materials such as sand and stone to replace each layer of severely damaged structures. Before replacent, a stress test must be conducted."
Once the structural construction is complete, Jade City will turn it into an enclosed space and inject energy into it to conduct impact, fireproof, and earthquake-resistant tests.
If the structural integrity is compromised or lacks sufficient impact resistance, it will explode under high-pressure testing.
Many lives would fear such stress tests.
This was also Jade City's way of tabolism.
It utilized this thod, using the structures prone to explosion as a basis, to create a large number of high-risk structures for throwing and detonation.
When the Organ Pipe bombarded Jade City head-on, Jade City didn't move, actually engaged in a large-scale synchronized construction phase.
The subsequent damage on the surface of the Dead Sea and the widespread shockwave were things Jade City hadn't anticipated.
"I resisted their attack by using the explosions of high-risk structures to drive away the enemy."
This was the initial concept of the High-rise Giant.
Jade City wasn't aware of what was ant by "skill"; it was still acting based on the functions and instincts of its body.
However, it also had great potential for developnt and growth.
Zhou Yi inquired about the conditions for deploying the flying house bombing.
Jade City answered, "Creating a large number of hazardous structures requires sourcing materials from the land, having sufficient sand and stone materials, and enough energy."
Zhou Yi looked around.
After a round of flying house bombings, the circle of sand around Jade City had collapsed, resembling a dried-up riverbed encircling a tall building.
This was not a problem, however.
"Synchronizing the construction of a large number of structures with the sa architecture can save construction ti. Considering only the basic enclosed structure and single-use, 100 sets of hazardous structures can be built within 10 minutes."
Zhou Yi pondered.
Factoring in a 10-minute interval between attacks, plus the additional ti needed to launch hazardous structures as a flying house, the prep ti beca even longer.
This belonged to heavy artillery with strong power but slow firing rate.
He discussed with Red Kestrel first and then exchanged ideas with Jade City.
Ultimately, relying on the wisdom of the three parties, they optimized and improved the process.
Normally, Jade City would produce a batch of hazardous structures in advance for storage, so during combat, it could use ready-made ammunition to inflict massive damage on enemies imdiately, giving no ti for the opponents to react or retreat, and also significantly reducing cooldown ti.
After manually collecting and summarizing, Zhou Yi manually created a set of reference data.
…
[Flying House Bombing]
Damage: B-Class
Cooldown: 10 minutes (3.3 seconds with ready ammunition)
Range: 225
…
This makes things much more intuitive.
The crisis was resolved, and Zhou Yi ordered the company to resu normal operations.
He looked out over the vast Dead Sea, feeling a deep sense of regret.
Jade City had been too heavy-handed, completely blowing up the Wind Organ, without being able to salvage any spoils of war, instead, it had depleted 2% of its energy.
He would have to remind them to be cautious and stable in the future, but also to consider economic benefits.
…
1500 ters away from the beach, atop a rocky hill.
An Arican heavy truck silently lay in the darkness.
A small foldable tal watchtower was erected on its container.
Qian Su sat on the platform of the watchtower, enjoying the breeze. She gnawed on a piece of dry biscuit, her eyes glued to the high-powered adjustable telescope, closely monitoring the movents in the Dead Sea.
As she ate, she muttered to herself,
"Good fighting, if they didn't fight, we'd be unemployed right now."
"What a pity, that Zhou Yi has no intention of buying weapons and equipnt, I wonder if it's confidence or a lack of budget."
"Is my price too high? It's not expensive, it's only 25% above market price. For running around in such a desolate place, it's just a little bit of hard-earned money."
"Partner, do you think he can withstand the Dead Sea Knights' battleship?"
A digital voice ca from inside the heavy truck: "He will win."
"You think highly of him?"
Qian Su yawned, "If what cos isn't a Light Cruiser but a dium Patrol Vessel equipped with main battle weapons, his completely undefended coastline would be a live target."
The heavy truck said, "That alien is very strong."
The girl swallowed a bite of biscuit: "Mmm... Of course, I know the Dead Sea Alien is very strong. But such creatures have not escaped the survival traits driven by instinct. As long as the Dead Sea Knights aren't foolish, they'll know how to lure it through the Dead Sea."
"Maybe they can't cause it any harm, but the generation of energy and stimulation will cause that guy to move closer to the Dead Sea. Aliens are like moths to a fla, always unable to resist a source of high-intensity energy."
"Once it enters the Dead Sea, it's dood, it will sleep like a newborn baby. The Dead Sea Knights just need to identify and mark it, then call in a lot of help to transport this giant through the Dead Sea."
"If the Wasteland Developnt Company doesn't have any other ans, this alien is likely not going to be saved."
The heavy truck was silent for a while.
"It's a C-Class organism."
"C-Class? That's normal. With the system in place, unless it's an A-Tier, the cognitive deficiencies of the Dead Sea Alien itself will always make them controlled by their energy-driven nature," Qian Su casually said, lifting her legs.
"Hey? Did your 'Identification' improve again? You can actually scan aliens directly now? Have you finally broken through to the peak state? This ability can make a lot of money! Are we going to be rich!?"
The girl's face lit up.
"Dead Sea Alien can only be assessed based on its destructive power."
The heavy truck corrected: "I was talking about Zhou Yi."
Qian Su's expression froze, then she clutched her chest and coughed violently, quickly taking a gulp of water.
"Could you have made a mistake?"
"How could a human organism reach C-Class? Impossible, impossible… He hasn't been marked with a Light Imprint, that's easy to recognize. That's clearly just a flesh and blood body."
The heavy truck reiterated: "'Identification' has indeed broken through the final stage, reaching the fifth rank. It evolved a special advanced effect 'Reverse Judgnt', which can infer abilities based on the opponent's real-ti use."
"'Identification' found nothing unusual about Zhou Yi, assuming he was a normal human. But 'Reverse Judgnt' provided a different conclusion, identifying so ability when he looked at , reflecting a judgnt that the organism is C-Class."
"But once he stopped looking at , I could no longer obtain any information."
"It can be certain this was information he intentionally revealed," the heavy truck pronounced with certainty.
Qian Su's expression suddenly beca grave and tense.
"C-Class organism… no Light Imprint, nor widespread prosthetic replacents…"
The girl involuntarily drew in a sharp breath: "Heavenly People!"
