Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 27 Capacitor Arrow

As the center of the earth in the astral world, Olympia City naturally became the largest gathering place.

From the national army and official agencies, to middle-level large groups, companies, and astral exploration groups, to hunting teams and aliens, they all gather and disperse from Olympian City.

Every street in Olympia is bustling.

All business activities revolve around one principle, which is to serve others.

Under the starry night, the fluorescent plants on both sides of the street lit up.

The colors of these plants are different, and together with the light from the crystal street lamps, they illuminate the pedestrians in strange clothes.

Laughter and laughter came from the alleys on the street, mixed with the clear laughter of women, and the smell of dirty jokes and alcohol drifted into the street.

In the star world, feasting and feasting are still indispensable.

There are groups of aliens, some wearing full armor with only one pair of eyes exposed, some wearing special robes, and fierce battle pets around them.

There are also people who wear casual clothes that have no defensive effect, as if a modern person has traveled to ancient times, looking out of place.

This person is Ji Xinghuo.

Almost everyone who passes by will cast a surprised look.

He felt very unnatural. This outfit was normal on earth, but in the star realm, it was a bit unique.

In the star realm, no matter what profession, they will wear various types of armor to improve their defense.

The more aliens lack melee combat skills, the more they need armor.

If you don't wear it, you'd be a fool.

"Equipment mall!"

Ji Xinghuo walked for two blocks in Dongxia District, and finally saw a large equipment shopping mall.

Along the way, he actually passed a few armor stores, but they were not large. Generally, small stores like this were more likely to scam people. He trusted large chain shopping malls more, preferably well-known listed companies on earth. , excellent reputation.

The three-story equipment mall has a large flow of people.

Strangers come and go.

Ji Xinghuo followed him in. When a male shopping guide waiting at the door saw him, his eyes immediately lit up and he rushed to greet him before anyone else.

The shopping guide next to him couldn't help but regret it, and he was a step slower.

"Hi sir, are you here to buy equipment?"

Ji Xinghuo looked at the very enthusiastic shopping guide. He was about the same age as himself. He was obviously a junior alien with an eager smile on his face.

He didn't show any timidity and nodded expressionlessly, "Take me to have a look."

"Okay, please follow me."

This equipment supermarket has a complete range of categories. You can see weapons, protective gear, consumables, and everything used by other people on the market, and the prices are clearly marked.As far as a certain category is concerned, it may not be as good as those exclusive high-end brands, but it is also sub-top.

Before entering the star realm, Ji Xinghuo had already done his homework online.

There are many strangers on various social platforms who have been in the star world for many years. Based on their own experience, they have evaluated various equipment.

There are very detailed videos and articles on practicality, quality, cost-effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages, etc.

Although there are some bloggers who accepted the promotion, they are generally trustworthy.

Ji Xinghuo has a shopping list himself.

More than an hour later, the shopping guide followed Ji Xinghuo, pushing a shopping cart, which was already filled with more than a dozen pieces of weapons and equipment.

The shopping guide's eyes couldn't contain the excitement.

The price of this vehicle's equipment has exceeded 60 Asian dollars, and you may not meet a customer who is so direct and forthright in spending in a few months.

He completed three or four days of performance with almost no effort.

"Mr. Ji, what else do you want to buy?"

"Take me to the bow and arrow area, I want to buy some arrows." Ji Xinghuo thought for a while, this should be the last thing on the list.

Soon, the two arrived at the bow and arrow area.

Ji Xinghuo saw various types of hunting bows on display, mainly compound bows, a small amount of traditional bows and barebows, next to it was the accessories area, and there were all kinds of accessories you wanted.

He bought a large-capacity "magnetic quiver" that can hold up to 150 arrows. There is a magnetic ring at the bottom that can hold the arrows and hang them diagonally behind his waist. The arrows will not fall out easily during exercise.

The price of this magnetic quiver is Asian dollars.

Then I bought a compound bow maintenance kit, which came with two spare bow strings and two pulley sets, and spent more than a thousand Asian dollars.

The next step is to buy arrows.

In the past, at the archery hall, Ji Xinghuo used training arrows. The arrows were streamlined and were far inferior to hunting arrows in terms of lethality and penetration.

There are many types of hunting arrows, and each company's brand has its own characteristics.

Ji Xinghuo walked around the arrow area, and he knew it in his heart.

Arrowheads, shafts, and nocks are sold separately.

For targets with high protection, he bought 30 solid armor-piercing arrows, equipped with heavier and thicker arrow shafts, with higher armor-piercing ability; for targets with low defense, he used "Black Widow" hollow triangular arrows. , extremely sharp, able to create larger wounds and cause massive blood loss, I bought 30 of them;

There are also 90 willow leaf arrows, mainly used for shooting conventional targets at longer distances.

The material of the arrow shaft is also different, and it is divided into three types: 30 grams, 40 grams and 50 grams. The heavier the weight, the heavier the bow is, and the shooting is close to the target.

The tail feathers are also divided into three and four feathers, spiral feathers and straight feathers, which control the speed and accuracy of the arrow.

Usually, different arrows can be assembled in case of need.

In an emergency, you can also quickly replace the arrows to assemble more suitable arrows.

According to Ji Xinghuo's request, the shopping guide bought a large package of arrowheads, arrow shafts and tail feathers, and carefully packed them into the shopping cart.

These arrows cost more than 10,000 Asian dollars.

"Mr. Ji is a ranger?" the shopping guide suddenly asked.

"Yes."

"Looking at Mr. Ji's choice of arrows, it can be seen that your archery level must be very high, much better than that of a half-baked ranger like me." The shopping guide complimented a few words, and then said: "We bought a batch of special arrows in our store last week. I wonder if Mr. Ji is interested?"

Ji Xinghuo had already bought everything. Hearing that he was also a ranger, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What special arrows?"

"Capacitor arrow."

Ji Xinghuo paused. He had heard that this kind of arrow was made based on electrical principles, but the materials used were produced in the star realm and were quite expensive.

When the capacitor arrow hits the target, it will release a high-voltage current, which has both traumatic and electric shock effects.

Very powerful!

Of course, it's also ridiculously priced.

If Ji Xinghuo was an ordinary ranger, he would not be interested in the capacitor arrow, but he has a rotating magnetic field, and the capacitor arrow can exert a stronger lethality!

"Take me to have a look."

"Ok!"

The shopping guide's eyes were both surprised and happy.

He would casually ask every customer who came to buy arrows, selling capacitor arrows, but Ji Xinghuo seemed to really want to buy them.

The two came to a VIP room in the mall. Soon, the shopping guide and a person who looked like a mall supervisor came back with a box in their hands.

"Mr. Ji, this is the capacitor arrow."

The supervisor naturally took over the duties of the shopping guide, opened the box, took out a silver-white arrow, and handed it to Ji Xinghuo's hand.

"Look at it."

Ji Xinghuo took it. The arrow weighed about 45 grams. It was cold to the touch and very tough. It should be made of metal.

The magnetic field of this arrow is very strong, and the lines of magnetic force are full of some kind of peculiar "beauty", which is obviously not ordinary metal.

"The main material of the capacitor arrow is yttrium-iron superconducting alloy."

The mall manager introduced: "Its internal structure is a variant of a capacitor. The arrow and the tail are the two poles of the capacitor. The tail is a unique ether piezoelectric crystal in the star world. When it is deformed by force, it will generate a high-voltage current. , turning the entire arrow into an electrostatic field, and when it hits the target, all the charges will be released in an instant, creating a high-temperature electric shock effect."

"Even if it doesn't trigger an electric shock, the arrow itself is very lethal."

"If you have electricity-related abilities, when shooting an arrow, you can amplify it with a stronger current and increase its power."

The other party was still eloquently introducing the Capacitor Arrow, but Ji Xinghuo didn't listen any more, and asked directly, "How much?"

"1.2 Asian dollars each."

Ji Xinghuo shook his head subconsciously. The 150 arrows he just bought were only a little over Asian dollars in total, and this capacitor arrow was more expensive than all of them combined.

He put the capacitor arrow back into the box, "It's too expensive."

"Mr. Ji, you also know that the price of superconducting alloys is calculated in grams. Yttrium-iron superconducting alloy is one of the rarest superconducting metals. If it is sold cheaper in our mall, you may I suspect there is something wrong with its quality." The mall manager explained patiently, eager to complete this business.

Superconducting alloys are one of the most precious resources in the astral world, and their market value is extremely huge.

Ever since scientists discovered superconducting materials hundreds of years ago, they have been trying to find room-temperature superconducting materials, but have been unsuccessful.

Until the star gate opens.

Countries on the earth have discovered that superconducting mines will be born in the astral world. When they are mined, superconducting materials of various properties can be obtained after refining, most of which are natural alloys.

These superconducting alloys can be used at room temperature, even in high-temperature environments without affecting performance.

The emergence of superconducting alloys has greatly promoted the scientific and technological development of the earth.

The most common ones are superconducting highways, maglev vehicles, vacuum tube maglev trains, superconducting shield arrays powered by nuclear fusion energy, aerospace fighters, etc., which have had a profound impact on the development of the earth.

As far as Ji Xinghuo knows, the output of yttrium-iron superconducting alloy is very low, and the price has remained high.

“What discount can you give me if I buy ten?”

The mall manager thought for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and said: "The maximum discount can be reduced to 10,000 Asian dollars. This is the biggest discount. If it is lower, I can't make the decision."

"Okay, pack it for me." Ji Xinghuo stopped bargaining.

The supervisor and shopping guide both looked excited.

After a while.

Ji Xinghuo put on a camouflage armor and walked out of the equipment mall. This lightweight armor made of composite ceramic steel was the most expensive equipment he purchased today.

The price is exactly 48 Asian dollars!

Hanging on his waist is a flat-headed goose-wing knife, priced at 1 yuan, and a field survival tactical short knife, priced at 8 yuan.

Wearing a "Star Boundary Mechanical Watch" on the left wrist, it has a 50-hour scale and can be calibrated to mark the switching time between day and star and night every day.

The backpack on the back contains a light tent, sleeping bag, a first aid box containing 7 kinds of medicine, a compound bow repair kit, a small amount of compressed biscuits, and a water dispenser. Even this luggage is valuable, costing more than a thousand Asian dollars.

Plus magnetic quiver and 150 ordinary arrows, 10 capacitive arrows.

Ji Xinghuo spent a total of 78 on this trip to the mall!

Including the "Yi Feng" compound hunting bow given by Lu Yunhai, the total value of his equipment exceeds 80, which is no less than that of most rangers.

Walking on the street in this outfit looks normal.

Ji Xinghuo didn't go back to the hotel, but turned around and entered a "recruitment center" near the shopping mall to see if there was a suitable team to join.
