Chapter 40 Rocket Launches and Manned Spaceflight
Chapter 40 Rocket Launches and Manned Spaceflight
"In the end, it's still those same thoughts, lingering and unchanging..."
"I wish to become an immortal, to be as joyful as the heavens, to transform into a myth that will be passed down in the wind..."
"I wish to become an immortal, to be as joyful as the heavens, so that I may live up to the beautiful fable. I was sent down from heaven and earth, so that future generations should have stories to tell..."
Accompanied by a desolate yet unrestrained song, Liu Huasheng wielded his construction hammer as if he were proving the Dao alone. With 100 stamina points depleted, a brand-new defensive tower quickly appeared in front of him.
The yellow dog, Awei, ran over and said, "Congratulations, Master, you've built a rocket tower!"
====
Name: Rocket Tower
Rank: 1
Durability: 1200
Attack: 20
Attack range: 50 meters
Attack Speed: 1.0
Attack type: Fire
Attack Effect: [Ignite] The rocket tower fires flaming arrows, dealing fire damage to the target and having a 10% chance to ignite the target, causing them to suffer 3 points of fire damage per second for three seconds.
Amazing Ability: [Rocket Launch] Ignition, launches a rocket missile after a 10-second countdown. When used with a strategic map, it can perform a precise strike across the entire map, dealing 2,000 damage to the target and also having a bombing effect.
The rocket tower can only be ignited and launched once a day.
Special Effect: [Manned Rocket] When the target enters the rocket tower, it launches 30 seconds after ignition and can break through the map boundary to send the target into space.
The manned rocket can return 30 days after launch, landing at a random location on the entire map upon return.
The manned rocket can only be launched once a month.
Note 1: Rocket guidance requires a line of sight (locked to the red marker on the strategic map). If the line of sight is lost during rocket flight, rocket guidance will fail and the target will not be hit.
Note 2: After the manned rocket launches, there is a small chance that it will break through the world barrier and enter the larger world!
Explanation 3: The tower is inscribed with the history of China's space program.
Note 4: Dongfeng Express, mission accomplished, rockets and missiles will be launched randomly, including Dongfeng-17, Dongfeng-26, Dongfeng-41 and other Dongfeng series missiles.
Note 5: Manned rockets will launch Shenzhou series spacecraft randomly.

Liu Huasheng saw the information panel of the [Rocket Tower] and exclaimed, "Holy crap, a rocket that can ignite and launch! And it can even carry people into space! In the history of Chinese spaceflight, the Dongfeng series, the Shenzhou spacecraft! An ordinary flame arrow tower, modified into a rocket launch tower, this is outrageous!"
He immediately realized the power of this [Rocket Tower]. It can launch one rocket per day and make precise strikes across the entire map, dealing 2,000 damage. In other words, you can bombard people's castles from your own home. One rocket can take down an ordinary Tier 1 defensive tower!
Liu Huasheng immediately began experimenting. He discovered that rocket launches could only lock onto bright red dots in the strategic map, meaning that someone needed to open the field of vision. Once the field of vision was open, the attack could be locked onto.
Meanwhile, on the strategic map, Liu Huasheng discovered that Wang Shuaibo and Guan Zhengxing had already left. Guan Zhengxing headed straight for the southeastern island, moving quite quickly.
The Wolf King of Beiliang had just left Chaos City and was unable to go to the island. His task for the day was to patrol Hill 7 and cause some damage if he had the chance.
In addition, Liu Huasheng discovered that the Ancient Guardian, Tom Cruise, Immortal River, and Cerberus have arrived at the canyon in the southwest of the map, and are estimated to be approaching the Relic Shop.
A moment later, Liu Huasheng used a teleportation scroll to rejoin the main group of junglers. After two hours, he led them to the second relic shop in the southwest of the map and cleared out the guardian monsters.
The items in the relic shop were all the same, and the loot that the monsters gave Liu Huasheng was also the same: a [Skull Book] and a small experience book.
After Liu Huasheng finished collecting the spoils, he ordered the jungle team to continue along the canyon, while he used a teleportation scroll to teleport to Wang Shuaibo's side and gave him the small experience book.
When Wang Shuaibo used the experience book, a golden light flashed around him, and he leveled up to level three.
The level 3 ghost wolf is as big as a buffalo, with only 300 health points, but its attack power is as high as 60 points, which is the same as the level 4 Tom Cruise. Moreover, its running speed is extremely fast, even faster than the flying Guan Zhengxing!
"Hahaha, I can kill a Peon in two bites now, and the same goes for players. If I launch a surprise attack, it's practically an instant kill, and tower diving for a kill is no problem!"
Wang Shuaibo felt invincible and wished he could meet Sima Zhen and Ma Xianlong.
"You have low blood sugar, so please don't be reckless..."
Liu Huasheng gave Wang Shuaibo some instructions, and then took a look at Hill 7 from a distance.
On this high ground, towers stand in abundance. Sima Zhen's Chaos City has been upgraded to the second tier, and it incorporates eight ice towers, making it look like an ice castle from afar.
The second-tier Chaos City is much larger than the first-tier one. The first-tier Chaos City covers an area of 1000 square meters and is only about 30 meters long and wide. The second-tier one is estimated to be over 50 meters long and wide!
Those eight ice towers were twenty meters tall; Liu Huasheng estimated they were second-tier defensive towers!
In front of Sima Zhen's Chaos City, there were also eight basic arrow towers and 30 basic towers!
The [Basic Tower] is a cylindrical structure resembling a chimney, semi-transparent, ten meters tall, and looks like it's made of some kind of colloid. It has no offensive capabilities and a durability of only 500 points.
Liu Huasheng pondered that the [Basic Tower] was probably a semi-finished defensive tower, which might be able to be transformed into a real defensive tower. It would probably require resources or other special requirements. It was very likely that these Basic Towers were a beginner's aid for Sima Zhen.
After leaving Hill 7, Liu Huasheng summoned his donkey Afu and drove to Hill 8 for a stroll.
Hill 8 was completely empty; the gold mine within it was not even mined by laborers.
"The player who spawned on Hill 8 should be Zhou Shuqi. There's a high chance she was killed by Sima Zhen. No one doesn't want revenge. Logically speaking, if Zhou Shuqi had the chance, she would probably seek revenge on Sima Zhen..."
Thinking of this, Liu Huasheng opened the strategic map and found that Guan Zhengxing was approaching the engineering store in the southeast and would probably arrive above the dense forest soon.
Within its illuminated field of vision, there was a small, moving red dot.
That little red dot above the trees was clearly a flying unit.
"A red dot? It's either a floating airship, Zhou Shuqi, or Qin Wuman. The southeast is going to be quite lively today..."
Thinking of this, Liu Huasheng dared not delay and quickly returned to his own territory. Then, he checked the strategic map next to the [Rocket Tower], thinking that sending a Dongfeng missile over today might bring unexpected surprises.
At this moment, Guan Zhengxing is chasing a crow.
That crow was none other than Zhou Shuqi. She was only LV1, with low health and virtually no attack power. Guan Zhengxing, on the other hand, was a level 2 Ice Mayfly. Although she was also weak, she could overwhelm Zhou Shuqi in terms of combat power and was also larger in size.
However, their flight speeds were similar, and they remained about a hundred meters apart.
Suddenly, Zhou Shuqi slowed down, and as Guan Zhengxing approached, she shouted back, "They're all wild monsters. You won't gain experience by killing me, so why are you chasing me?"
Guan Zhengxing said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not a bad person, I'm just purely curious!"
At that moment, Guan Zhengxing suddenly saw a torpedo-like object floating above the dense forest in the distance. He immediately realized that it was a floating airship.
"Airship spotted!"
Guan Zhengxing immediately lost interest in Zhou Shuqi, spread his wings, and flew towards the floating airship.
Zhou Shuqi followed and asked, "What's that?"
"Floating airships!"
"An airship? There are people inside? Who's inside?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Sima Zhen is inside. That guy is going to lead his troops to the island!"
"Sima Zhen? Hmph!" Zhou Shuqi snorted upon hearing this, but quickly flew closer to Guan Zhengxing and said, "Little brother, were you also persecuted by Sima Zhen? How about we join forces, build that airship, cause a plane crash, and kill that big idiot Sima Zhen?"
