Taking advantage of the darkness and chaos, Da Fei rushed into the corridor that looked like a dormitory and entered the next cabin. Then he squatted quietly on the wall next to the door, not daring to breathe.

The BOSS should have returned to his position at this time, right? Dafei peeked his head secretly and looked back. Sure enough, the BOSS's back blocked the exit of the corridor. At the same time, the reconnaissance technique did not alarm, which meant that it could not alert the things behind it.

Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Now it's time to search this warehouse, hoping to gain something.

Da Fei leaned against the wall and carefully began to search. There was no rancid smell in this cabin, but a faint smell of engine oil.

——System prompt: You have found a damaged ballista. (It is a large item and cannot be carried with you)

Da Fei was suddenly startled! Ballista? The famous ballista in War Machinery?

Da Fei took a closer look and found out, yes! This is a damaged ballista! The ballista is known as the BOSS killer!

——System prompt: You have found ballista ammunition. (Large cargo cannot be carried with you)

——System prompt: You have found mechanical repair tools.

——System prompt: You found the fishing rod.

There are also ammunition! There are also repair tools! Could it be said that this ballista can be used? Right, how can the expedition ship go out to sea unarmed? The sea is windy and the distance is long, and bows and arrows are not easy to use. The ballista is the main battle weapon! That's it!

It’s said that this is the gun room of the ship! The ship in this game is completely antique in design. The sailboat bombardment in the movie is two fleets lined up in a row, the gun doors on the hull are opened, and then they are bombarding each other to see who has the best gun.

Dobby to see who can endure the fight!

If this is the case, there may be more than one ballista in this gun cabin! Da Fei continued to search in the dark, and sure enough, he found 16 more ballistas, 8 on each side, with all ammunition, but none of them was intact and seriously damaged!

There seems to be no enemies in the entire gun cabin. At the end of the gun cabin is a locked iron door, with no way out. And according to the usual convention of the game, the only way to break the situation is to kill the BOSS.

Brother understands!

As an experienced master of the game, what is the purpose of such a scene in the novice village? Of course it is to teach newcomers about war machines and provide them with ballistae! In such an uninhabited novice village, my reconnaissance skills are so ingenious.

Of course, the ballista that appeared was almost the same tune!

If a player starts normally and chooses the war machine skill to start, he must be taking on tasks in the machine workshop in the city or working as an apprentice to earn money to buy discounted ballistae, right? The only difference between this place and the city workshop should be that there is no mentor here, so he can only learn by himself.

Become a talent!

The old rule is, if you find the war machine skill book, it must be placed in a certain corner of the cabin!

As long as you have the skill book in hand, you can repair these ballistae. The ballistae is powerful and has the ability to repel and puncture. It is not impossible to defeat the powerful zombie at the door!

Of course, even if it is not to kill the zombie BOSS, for Da Fei who is determined to go to sea to run business, war machines are also combat skills that should be learned. When reconnaissance and navigation skills are not as good as pirates, and when pirates are approaching, ballistae is the last resort.

It is a line of defense. And when encountering sea monsters, powerful self-protection weapons such as ballistae are also needed.

Here we first introduce the science of war machines.

——War Machinery: Improve the durability and effectiveness of ballistas, siege machines, and medical tents. It can also repair damaged war machines.

The branch sub-skills of War Machinery are usually Ballista Master, Siege Master, Tent Master, Combat Repair, and Explosive Bomb. War Machinery covers three types of machines, and the number of sub-skills that can be combined with other skills is dazzling, such as three

Repeating crossbow, incendiary crossbow, magic-infused crossbow, sulfur rain, plague tent, plague siege machine, machine destruction, etc. It will cost quite a lot of skill points to learn all of this system.

War machines are not subject to the bonuses of heroes' offensive and defensive attributes and other combat skills, and players can only bring one of each type of machine, so there is no need to spend too many skill points for a machine. Most players just choose the Ballista Master or the Ballista Master.

Tent Master. As for the Siege Master, there are too many things to think about. Sieges are not something that current players should consider.

Then let’s talk about ballistae.

——Ballista: attack 5, defense 5, life 100, basic damage 1-2, attack speed 5, movement speed 1, special skills: knockback, pierce.

——Knockback: Enemies hit by the ballista have a certain chance of being knocked back.

——Pierce: After the ballista kills an enemy, the remnant of the attack will hit the enemy behind it.

This is the attribute of the ballista when it leaves the factory. For each level of War Machinery, the ballista's attack and defense will be increased by 5 points, the basic damage will be increased by 1 point, and the maximum life limit will be increased by 100 points.

Although the ballista's attack and defense are not affected by the hero's attack and defense attributes, the ballista's damage is indeed related to the hero's attribute points. Different from the calculation of normal unit damage, the ballista's damage = the ballista's base damage × the total value of the hero's strategic attributes!

For example, the level 6 Dafei now has 5 attack, 0 defense, 0 magic, and 0 knowledge. The total strategic attribute value of the hero is 5, and the damage of the ballista is 5-10, reaching the level of damage of a level 4 soldier. The meaning of this formula is

The stronger the hero, the better he can use the ballista.

Therefore, even if the hero is not majoring in combat skills, as long as the level is high, he can still exert the power of the crossbow. Therefore, even if Da Fei wants to be a businessman, he will not suffer any disadvantages by learning the crossbow.

If you learn the master-level war machine, the attributes of the ballista are: attack 30, defense 30, life 600, basic kill 6-7, then Da Fei with 5 total attributes will use the ballista to kill 30-35. This kill

It’s close to the level of a level 7 soldier! If you learn the sub-skill Crossbow Master, you can fire two shots in a row, which doubles the damage!

That is to say, when a newcomer starts learning the crossbow, it is equivalent to carrying a level 7 soldier with him. Moreover, it does not take up the hero's tactical slot, and it is an extra soldier. For newcomers in the early stage, this is a very powerful long-range weapon.

With the firepower point, you can directly challenge some stronger wild monsters, especially those long-range wild monsters that ordinary players dare not touch.

Therefore, during the open beta, players who started with the ballista or the medical tent were collectively called the mechanical start, which had obvious advantages.

If the player reaches level 30, the total value of strategic attribute points gained from the upgrade alone will reach 50 points, and the final kill of the ballista will reach 300-350, which is far beyond that of any conventional arms. It is so high that it is impossible to look directly at it! It can kill instantly with one shot.

Not to mention level 7 soldiers, ordinary soldiers can be shot to death in countless numbers. Being hit by a crossbow at sea is a real test of the quality of the ship!

In short, the ballista known as the BOSS killer is itself a BOSS-like existence! Of course, players can only bring one such BOSS.

At this point, it’s time to talk about the shortcomings of the crossbow.

Although the ballista is like a BOSS, it is too large, inconvenient to aim, has a low hit rate against moving enemies, and has a slow rate of fire. Once an enemy gets close to the ballista and gets behind it, it will be stunned.

, even more so when encountering flying soldiers.

During the open beta period, the value of the ballista on the battlefield was a sandbag with 600 health points, attracting the first round of bombing by the opponent's magic troops. In short, it was a huge contribution. So in the later stage, the ballista's presence was thin.

Then comes the biggest shortcoming. The movement speed of the ballista is only 1! That is, the maximum movement speed is 1 meter in 1 second. Players marching with the ballista is like a turtle crawling. Even if they learn master-level logistics skills, they will not be much faster.

And you can only walk on the main road, not the small road! Of course, the solution is to dismantle the ballista into parts and package them, but it will take a long time to reassemble it before the battle. Once the enemy is discovered during the assembly process and rushes over, then

Just pretend you haven’t learned this skill.

Then, for the repair of the ballista, spare parts must be carried with you, which is expensive.

Finally, players with ballistae can only win battles, not defeat. Once defeated... Haha, finally no longer have to worry about slow marching.

In short, the ballistae can provide players with huge combat support in the early stage, and it can also make players smash eggs on the ground. How to use it depends on the player's training ideas.

For Da Fei, these shortcomings do not exist because naval warfare and land warfare are completely different concepts.

A ship is a moving castle. As long as the ship can be obtained, the ballista will be fired from the gun cabin. If the enemy wants to kill the ballista, he must first blow up the gun cabin, and the hull outside the gun cabin is the entire ship.

This is the thickest part of the ship's armor. So you don't have to worry about the ballista being destroyed as soon as you start.

The problem of movement is not a problem, the cannons just move with the ship.

The hit problem is no longer a problem. The target of the naval battle is the pirate ship. Even if you are blind, you don't have to worry about not hitting the opponent, right?

In fact, weren't all kinds of super cannons in history equipped on ships? Only ships are the true home of ballistae, so Da Fei has definitely learned this skill!

...

At this time, after half a day of groping, Da Fei finally dug out a book in a box and found it! He looked closely and saw that it was indeed not a golden skill book, but the "Crossbow Maintenance and Repair Mechanic's Manual"!

——"Bballista Maintenance and Repair Mechanic's Manual": auxiliary item. Equipping this item can gain the skill of disassembly and assembly of ballista.

Ha! It turns out to be equipment similar to a black magic book! That’s it!

In the game, in addition to the traditional positions of weapons, armor, rings, and accessories, the player's equipment column also has several auxiliary item equipment columns. Various miscellaneous items that increase skills, morale, and luck are equipped in this position.

Although I didn’t find the skill book for War Machine Learning, the effect of this equipment book is actually better, because it does not require skill points to learn, and the equipment can take effect when it is on the body! If I really want to find the skill book, I don’t have the skill points, so I can only stare.

.

It seems that the intention of this scene is completely in line with my expectations, which is to let me dismantle all the damaged ballistae, and then reassemble a new ballistae with the good parts! This is indeed a ballistae! A ballistae.
Chapter completed!
