Chapter 59: Blitz on Highmount Fortress
"Boom—"
The massive boulder Romon had targeted was instantly pulverized into dust; the power of the energy beam didn’t diminish in the slightest as it blasted straight into the ground.
The earth was ripped open in an instant, leaving a massive fissure, and tremors radiated outward in all directions. Even the townsfolk in Stone Town could feel the earthquake.
Romon watched the scene unfold through his goggles, overjoyed beyond expectation.
He had previously set a rule for the dwarves: upgrades to the Magitech Drones couldn’t be superficial. Each new generation had to feature innovative advancements that truly set it apart.
He hadn’t expected the third generation’s firepower to exceed his expectations by such a margin.
Moreover, the vertical takeoff speed and aerial maneuverability were also remarkably fast. With this, as long as the durability tests were passed, they could immediately begin mass production.
Up to this point, Thune Territory hadn’t established systematic training for operators; the drones were still being tested personally by dwarf "engineers." This was mainly because the second generation still had some flaws. But with the third generation, it was a different story—now they could really form dedicated combat squads.
Romon then conducted a series of tests on flight range, endurance, resistance to damage, and so forth—essentially, he was satisfied with everything.
After all, this was the result of burning through future cultural points for a burst of advanced technology.
He had already tried it before: the ritual sacrifice thing could only be done once per person.
