Cards were flying all over the sky, driven by the golden-red Hope, dyeing the entire void space with the color of the rising sun.
Staring at countless cards with the same pattern on the back, Sumo quickly stopped and sat on the ground after flipping through four cards in a row and finding that they were all rubbish attributes.
Since ancient times, ship-borne weapons have been far more powerful than most weapons of the army.
As early as during the Napoleonic Wars, when the Emperor was still praising the power and accuracy of the 12-pounder cannon, the naval guns on a regular naval ship were already filled with various 24-pounder and 36-pounder cannons.
The same is 155 guns:
The navy can achieve greater range (longer range and greater power)
Faster reloading (automatic ammunition feeder)
Better maneuverability (warships can run faster than cars at full speed)
Better protection (field guns don't have turrets)
Not to mention the battleships have monster calibers of 203, 406, and 460.
So after clarifying the types of weapons that the Hope currently needs most, Sumo was full of expectations from head to toe as to whether he could get a cannon in the lottery.
"The things I need to draw now must be related to weapons."
"As long as it's a weapon of mass destruction, it's fine, but it's best if it's technology-oriented, so that I can better prepare ammunition."
"If it is a mysterious weapon, you must carefully consider whether it has the ability to continue fighting!"
To deal with stragglers like the aliens, even if they pull out a Dongfeng missile, there is actually no cannon that can be used.
In this card drawing, the system will give you a free chance to draw a card, and you can choose any one of all the cards to be added to the waiting list.
Moreover, unlike games, the rewards of the system are very user-friendly and are genuine benefits.
If you choose to spend 1000 points to draw again, the previous cards will not disappear, but will enter the alternative area.
For example, Soma can draw once for free, and if he spends 5,000 points to draw five times, he will get six cards.
At that time, if you do not continue to draw, you can choose one of these six cards as a reward.
Of course, it’s okay not to choose. At most, you will lose 5,000 points from a lottery. If you quit and choose 50,000 points again, you can stop the loss.
"No matter what you can draw, plus the gift from the system, let's draw six times first."
"At that time, if the thing drawn is really bad, or if you are not lucky today, go back immediately and choose 50,000 points."
The first lottery was given for free. Because he knew he still had a chance, Somo didn't panic. He sat on the ground and waited until his heart calmed down, then expressed his wish for the lottery into the void.
In an instant, the Hope hanging high in the sky slowly disappeared, and was replaced by countless golden-red illusory cards that began to fly quickly in front of the eyes.
Every second, thousands of cards fly past like running water, rushing towards the end of the void.
Very casually, looking at the cards that could be touched by stretching out his hand, Somo randomly drew out one.
As this card was drawn out, the other flying cards slowly stopped, and just like before, the Hope appeared again.
"Let me see what good stuff I can get with this first shot."
With anticipation, and imitating the way he had drawn Dongfeng 17 before, Sumo first opened a small corner of the card and looked at it.
"Huh? Yes, there is a sea!"
In the upper right corner of the card, you can see the bright waves, which at least confirms that the ship is sailing on the sea, not in a river or creek.
And a ship that can travel in the sea has some powerful attributes, so Sumo no longer hesitated and turned over the entire card.
The light flashed, and as the card turned over, an attribute panel popped out.
【Powerful fishing boat】
[Description]: A large tonnage fishing and chilled ship with strong fishing attributes and strong refrigeration attributes.
[Additional attributes]: You can choose the following two attributes to add:
1. Powerful fishing net: The fishing net can be activated once every 3 natural days. After activation, aquatic organisms within a range of 500 meters will be attracted and automatically move to the wind range of the fishing net (please note that it takes 15 natural days after the fishing net is damaged)
recover)
2. Chilled: After selection, a chilled area can be generated within the hull, and the spoilage rate of all materials placed there is fixed at -50%.
[Evaluation]: If you don’t open for three days, you will eat for three years if you open!
"Hey, this attribute is quite practical. The range is actually 500 meters, and if the fishing net is broken, it can be repaired by itself."
"What a pity, my goal this time is weapons!"
To be fair, the attributes of this fishing boat are definitely an artifact for ordinary people to accumulate resources.
As long as you find the right spot on the sea, drop the net and catch dozens of tons of fish, it won't be a problem.
Moreover, these fish can not only replenish daily necessities, but the excess can also be traded, which can be called a small bug in resource development.
But for Somo, who is in urgent need of weapons and has a large stock of food, it is a bit useless.
Shaking his head regretfully, Sumo looked at the cards floating in front of him, put them aside, and continued to choose to spend points to draw.
Adhering to the principle of single-drawing miracles, as the 1,000 points slowly disappeared, the card pile began to fly again.
This time, he did not draw randomly. After recalling the point where Dongfeng 17 was drawn, Somo stretched out his hand seemingly slowly, but when he got closer, he pulled out suddenly.
A card tried to slip through his fingers, but it couldn't escape and was caught by Somo.
"Good guy, this one stroke is equivalent to a day's work for me, so I have to work harder!"
Being familiar with the road, Sumo did not choose to climb up from the upper right corner this time, but slowly climbed up from the lower left corner.
“The taste is right, very right, it’s still the sea!”
"Grass is steel and a modern warship!"
Before drawing, Sumo was prepared for the fact that he could not draw a modern warship six times.
After all, the system's lottery scope is too broad, and anything related to boats will be included, even small paper boats.
But now, seeing that he had hit a modern warship with his second shot, Sumo couldn't help but feel a sense of fate.
"Fortunately, I didn't directly choose 50,000 points before. This warship is not simple!"
After turning over the entire card and taking a look at its overall appearance, Sumo was shocked and immediately looked at the card attributes.
[Fletcher-class destroyer]
[Description]: Known as the king of air defense in World War II, with its excellent Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun and Oerlikon 20mm machine gun as a standard air defense weapon configuration, it can organize dense bombardments at medium and short ranges.
It can destroy or drive away incoming enemy aircraft to ensure absolute air superiority. In addition, the Mk-12 127mm high-level dual-purpose naval gun is used as the main gun, which can fire anti-aircraft shells equipped with radio proximity fuzes, and 40mm guns.
, 20mm cannons together constitute three layers of anti-aircraft firepower: far, middle and near.
[Additional attributes]: You can choose the following two attributes to add:
1.40MM anti-aircraft gun + 20mm machine gun combination: automatically comes with bullet manufacturing drawings
2. Mk-12 127mm high-level dual-purpose naval gun: automatically comes with a naval gun maintenance manual
[Evaluation]: Can you count on him to sail across the ocean?
"Sure enough, it's this damn thing, the masterpiece of beautiful country's early destroyers!"
Rubbing his chin and looking at the attributes on the card, Somo fell into deep thought.
As the most famous destroyer model that the United States began to design in the late 1930s, and was the most famous during World War II, the Fletcher class produced a total of 175 ships in two years!
And this number also represents how reliable the ship is.
It is equipped with five 127mm high-level dual-purpose naval guns, code-named MK-12. It can transport ammunition through two closed pipelines. It is driven by electricity and semi-automatically controlled. It can provide ammunition to the turret at a speed of 24-30 rounds per minute.
Equipped with an automatic fuze setting device, the fuze setting can be completed before the shell is sent into the turret, which is very powerful.
Paired with the Hope, even just one door is enough to increase the firepower of the entire ship to a new level!
"It's a pity that this MK-12 anti-aircraft gun is used for air defense. It is not practical for surface combat and sea combat."
"Even if you choose this cannon, it is better to choose this anti-aircraft gun, which was recognized as the best during World War II!"
He drew a warship and a cannon, but he drew such a useless thing, which made Sumo feel a little troubled.
The MK-12 requires five people to work together to design the semi-automatic design. This is not a big problem, and a machinist can do the job.
But compared with the cannons of the same period, this Mk-12 is not good enough in terms of power, rate of fire, or stability!
"Keep pumping? Or save your survival points and find a way to upgrade the Mk-12?"
If it was the last time to draw this thing, Sumo would choose to take it without hesitation, but he got it twice, which made Sumo have a little fantasy.
Should we stop the loss or continue to draw for the set five times?
After a few seconds of hesitation, he glanced at the 23,000 survival points left, and looked at the golden-red Hope floating in the air.
For some reason, Sumo had a mysterious feeling that the Hope was speaking to him.
He is telling himself that there is a card in the deck that suits him, and it will come out soon!
The ship is talking.
At first glance, it seems like my own greed is at work.
But after repeatedly questioning his heart and discovering that this feeling was indeed not groundless, Somo let out a long breath and said silently to the void.
"System, continue extracting!"
Throw the Fletcher-class destroyer card next to the previous fishing boat.
This time facing the pile of flying cards and pinpointing Dongfeng's position, Sumo did not hesitate and took action three times in a row.
The first one has no feel.
The second picture also has no feeling, 2000 disappears!
Even in the third picture, that mysterious feeling has not yet arrived.
The survival points in the lower right corner have now gone through 3000 points like water.
But looking at the pile of flying cards and feeling the strong call from the Hope to him, Somo gritted his teeth and took out the card again.
The fourth one! No!
The fifth one! No!
The set bottom line was breached, the survival points plummeted to eighteen thousand points, and a full six thousand points disappeared into nothingness.
This gambler's madness made Somo's eyes turn red, and the bloodshot eyes burst out.
Six thousand points, a full week's accumulation, disappeared in less than three seconds.
This is simply a great torture for a Scoia'tael.
but.
The feeling conveyed by the Hope is still calling strongly, and the calling voice is getting louder and louder!
It seems that in the next second, the card that Nozomi longs for will appear.
"No matter what, since this lottery is related to the Hope Number, then I will follow this feeling. Even if I finish all the draws, I will not regret it!"
Gritting his teeth and looking at the still endless pile of cards, Somo continued to stretch out his hand.
The sixth one, no!
The seventh one, no!
The eighth. The ninth. The tenth.
Wait, this feels like it!
Seeing that there were only 13,000 survival points left, just when Somo numbly took out one and was about to continue reaching out, his feeling changed!
The tenth card suddenly burst into golden light the moment it was taken out of the deck.
And even the lottery page was forcibly stopped, causing all the cards to stop rotating rapidly.
The Hope, hidden in the void, rushed out as if it had broken through a barrier.
One ship, one card.
It's as if there are invisible chains tied together, making the frequency of light breathing consistent.
It's as if the ship on this card and the Hope come from the same source, and the two are like brothers.
"Damn, eleven thousand points, did you really let me gamble?"
Feeling the undisguised longing in the heart.
Looking at the radiance of only the last of these twelve cards, Sumo's face showed a hint of astonishment as he had no time to react.
Eleven thousand points, under such huge pressure, Sumo felt like his back was wet with cold sweat, even if he was in the system space.
“I won’t bet anymore, and I won’t bet again in the future!”
At this time, after repeatedly confirming that this was not a lie, Sumo sat down feebly, feeling as if his whole body had been drained.
This gambler's feeling is certainly very satisfying when you win the bet.
But who knows what will happen if these survival points are spent and haven’t been gambled out yet!
Instead of continuing to turn over the cards slowly, after taking two deep breaths and feeling his beating heart, Somo revealed the entire card.
Familiar taste.
A familiar recipe.
Although this was the first time he saw the ship on the card, in his dream, Somo had actually boarded it more than once.
From his naval guns, to his missile launches.
From his air power, to his underwater defense system.
The battleship on the card is not unfamiliar. It is the highest-level destroyer family within the scope defined by the game.
