I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 27: The competition begins. I go to the opening ceremony with Farusan and Cole and meet Kavi

Chen Bo did not cancel the previous structure and completely retained the original main gun.

However, twelve secondary guns were added around the main gun.

That's why it got so much bigger.

Chen Bo patted the cold metal casing: "Although it doesn't look as elegant anymore, like two big oil drums hanging there, firepower is the first romance."

We'll talk about the exterior design later.

Chen Bo himself is not good at exterior design.

In this regard, it seems that this could be outsourced to Kavi?

Naxi Da said, "Then, shall we begin the test?"

"Begin." Chen Bo and Naxida separated.

hum-

After activation, two floating cannons hovered on either side of Chen Bo, with densely packed elemental patterns lighting up, creating a complex pattern.

"Round 1, low-intensity test. Nasita, fire ten grass element bullets at once, targeting my limbs."

Nasita nodded. She raised her hand, and ten fist-sized green light bullets instantly formed, hurtling towards Chen Bo.

Bang bang bang bang!

A series of rapid explosions almost overlapped.

The floating cannons on both sides of Chen Bo opened fire in quick succession.

The afterimages of the energy projectiles ejected from the twelve cannons connected into a line, transforming into a whip of light that shattered all the incoming elemental projectiles.

The interception rate is 100%.

"So fast," Nasita exclaimed softly.

The interception capability has been greatly improved.

"The power has indeed decreased, but the attack frequency makes up for it." Chen Bo was very satisfied with the result. "Nassida, increase the intensity. This time, use a high-powered energy ball to simulate the attacks of those heavy mechanisms."

Nasita nodded, and this time, she conjured a large elemental bullet the size of a football.

"Main guns charge up, secondary guns suppress!" Chen Bo gave the order.

The twelve secondary barrels of the floating cannon began to spin wildly, and a dense rain of bullets struck the surface of the large elemental sphere, which then exploded one by one.

Although a single shot couldn't destroy it, the dense barrage of impacts successfully slowed down the elemental orb.

1.5 seconds later.

The main gun barrel at the center of the floating cannon has completed the charging of sufficient power.

boom!

Main gun firing.

This strike shattered the incoming attack in mid-air.

The violent explosion tousled Chen Bo's hair, but his body remained motionless.

"Interception successful." Chen Bo recorded the data. "When facing large targets, the secondary guns can buy more charging time for the main guns and also achieve a good interception effect."

Chen Bo then continued testing.

When intercepting small targets, which can be dealt with with a single shot from the small cannon, each floating cannon can intercept up to 18 targets per second.

When intercepting medium-sized targets, a single floating cannon can intercept about five per second.

The two floating cannons can intercept up to ten medium-powered attacks and thirty-six low-powered attacks per second.

That's about right, enough for now.

After a busy night in his dream, Chen Bo finally finished polishing the design drawings for the floating cannons.

After saying goodbye to Naxida, Chen Bo exited the dream.

At this moment, the sun outside the window had just risen a little, and Chen Bo was exhausted from the continuous busyness.

Now, I should go for a run to relieve my fatigue.

After running a few laps around the streets surrounding the Order of the Church, sweat dripped down my face, and I felt much more energetic.

"Good morning, Anil."

Two people walked towards them; they were Farusan and Cole, who were on their way to breakfast.

Chen Bo stopped and took a deep breath. "Good morning, senior Farusan, senior Cole."

Farusan looked him over and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, young people should have this kind of vigor. Nowadays, students stay up all night doing research and sleep like logs during the day. If their bodies break down, how can their brains function properly? Your habit of loving exercise should be vigorously promoted."

"Running is definitely beneficial for research," Chen Bo smiled. "Want to grab something to eat?"

The three of them sat down at a roadside stall.

As a senior colleague, Falushan took the initiative to treat everyone to a meal.

Farusan taught Cole while she ate.

"Kelei, see that? This is what happens when someone more talented than you works even harder. Stop trying to slack off and learn from your juniors."

Cole scratched his head, somewhat hesitantly replying, "I understand, Master. I will learn diligently from Anil."

Seeing that Ke Lai was so engrossed in talking that she almost buried her head in her bowl, Chen Bo quickly changed the subject.

He opened the virtual terminal, packaged the organized parts design drawings, and sent them to Farusan.

"Senior, these are the blueprints I finished last night. Some of them are generic parts that I can get myself, but there are still dozens of core components that need to be custom-made with high precision. You're a senior with extensive connections, could you recommend a reliable place?"

Farusan opened the blueprint and glanced at it.

"This interlocking structure... and the texture on the inner wall of the combustion chamber, and these dimensions, it's truly a very precise piece of work," said Farussan. "Ordinary small workshops probably couldn't customize these parts."

Chen Bo nodded: "That's why I asked for your help. If it really doesn't work, I plan to work on it myself slowly, but it's too time-consuming."

Farusan nodded in agreement: "Hand-making parts is indeed too time-consuming, and since you have no experience in making parts, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed."

Then, Farusan waved her hand generously, "Leave it to me, I'll get someone to make it for you."

"Regarding Mora, I don't think you can come up with the funds for the time being. Luckily, I've secured some funding, so I'll cover it for you in advance."

Having a mentor is really important.

However, Chen Bo immediately pulled a heavy cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Farusan.

"I have one million Mora in savings here. If that's not enough, I'd like to trouble you to cover the rest."

Farusian was startled. She opened the bag and glanced inside. It was full of neatly arranged large denomination Mora notes.

Farusanne took half and said, "We don't need that many. Although parts of this precision are expensive, 500,000 Mora is the maximum."

"Take the rest back. Don't think that just because you're my student you can squander money. Once you're in the government, there will be plenty of places where you'll burn through cash."

Chen Bo said with a grin, "Thank you, Senior Farusan. I will never forget your kindness."

"If Master accidentally enters some secret realm again, I will do everything in my power to rescue you."

Farusian scoffed, "Stop flattering me. I'll be happy as long as you study hard. As a student, your mentor is supposed to help you."

After finishing their meal, the three of them went together to the gathering square of the Myo-ronpa school.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Mechanical Combat Competition.

The place was packed with people.

There were contestants as well as students who just wanted to join in the fun.

Chen Bo scanned the crowd and quickly spotted Kavi.

Chen Bo was very interested in Kavi. This top architect in Sumeru not only had unique insights into structural design, but more importantly, Kavi was an idealist.

To design an ideal work, one is willing to go into debt.

Chen Bo plans to build his own academic city in the future.

Kavi is a very good chief designer.
