Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 706 - 669 A Little Reminder

Chapter 706: Chapter 669: A Little Reminder Chapter 706: Chapter 669: A Little Reminder As the Vice President of the Apple Tree Corporation, Archimonde was an expert in warships, as this was the old business of the Chamber. So, when he heard Uncle Wil reporting to Rocky that the damage rate of the Defensive Net was only fifteen percent, he was completely astounded.

The so-called damage rate actually refers to the strength of the Defensive Net. The higher the damage rate after an attack, the more severe the attack on the Defensive Net, and the lower the damage it could sustain in the next strike; conversely, the lower the damage rate after an attack, the stronger the Defensive Net and the more damage it could withstand in the next round of attacks.

So, according to Uncle Wil’s report, after taking a direct hit from the main gun of the new warship, the damage rate of the War Steed’s Defensive Net reached fifteen percent. Is this number high or low?

Too low!

The main gun of the new warship had a potency of 15,000 points! A main gun of this potency could elevate the damage rate of any fifth-generation warship’s Defensive Net to one hundred percent, effectively shattering the Defensive Net with a single shot. Yet, such a formidable attack only caused fifteen percent damage to the War Steed’s Defensive Net, which was simply incredible.

Thinking about this, Archimonde’s look towards Rocky changed somewhat, realizing he had underestimated Rocky once again.

The combat power of the new warship was unquestionable, something Archimonde was certain about, which meant there was no issue with the potency of the attack. Thus, the problem did not lie with the new warship, but with the War Steed’s Defensive Net.

Why was the War Steed’s Defensive Net so strong?

With Archimonde’s intelligence, as soon as this question popped into his mind, he already had the answer. The War Steed’s Defensive Net was so formidable surely because it utilized new Rune Technology!

Is that so?

Yes.

Rocky’s test this time was actually a dual test. He indeed intended to see if the combat power of the new type of warship was as formidable as Archimonde had suggested. Additionally, he also wanted to see how well the modifications on the War Steed had progressed.

Several months had passed since the destruction of the City of Fury and Sky Might. During these months, the research team in Thunderhawk City had not been idle. The team’s work during this period was mainly directed in three areas. Firstly, Aniye led a team to continue the rune research, secondly, Hammerfire led a team to develop the new White Demon Armor, and lastly, Pelaya led the remaining members to begin research and experimentation on warship Rune Technology.

In the previous years, although Orton and others had developed many Rune Technologies, their main focus had been on Rune Armor, and not much on warship technology. However, after the battle at the City of Fury, both Orton and Rocky realized that the Runification of warships could also substantially enhance their combat capabilities. Thus, Pelaya was appointed to head a team to commence the research and development of warship Rune Technology.

Meanwhile, thanks to years of prior accumulation, Pelaya made rapid progress in her research soon after it began and achieved many substantial results. The Rune Technology that Rocky entrusted to the Apple Tree Corporation was the research outcome at that time.

But now, over two months had passed since Rocky delivered the first batch of research results to the Apple Tree Corporation. During this period, Pelaya had not only continued her research but had already developed new technologies, which were then applied to War Steed.

This is why Rocky dared to let the new warship fire at War Steed. He was not crazy, nor would he joke with his own life. He simply trusted completely in the new technology Pelaya had developed.

And from the final results, both tests were satisfactory enough.

On one hand, the new warship developed by the Apple Tree Corporation indeed possessed superior combat power. Now that Rocky was battle-hardened and had commanded fleets in large-scale battles more than once, even having just defeated the City of Fury a few months ago, he could tell at a glance whether a warship had real combat power. The combat power of the War God Escort Ship was clearly worthy of the title of Rune Battleship.

On the other hand, it was precisely because of the War God Escort Ship’s excellent performance that it indirectly highlighted how powerful Pelaya’s research was, which naturally pleased Rocky even more.

As for Archimonde’s astonishment, Rocky had anticipated it as well, and it similarly satisfied him.

Because it cannot be denied that having acquired Rune Technology, especially after developing warships with runes at their core, the Apple Tree Corporation was somewhat smug. This could be seen from Archimonde’s behavior beforehand, even an old city like Archimonde had its tail up in the air at that moment.

Of course, this was understandable, for after acquiring Rune Technology, the Apple Tree Corporation had indeed developed a warship that could be called era-transcending, and just by that fact alone, they had enough capital to be proud and boastful.

However, it was necessary for Rocky to remind the Chamber at this time that all the achievements the Chamber had obtained were due to Rune Technology, and Rune Technology, was given by him!

This was very important, after all, even if the partnership between Rocky and the Apple Tree Corporation was close, the relationship was merely that of cooperation, the foundation of which was Rocky providing technology, and the Chamber responsible for production. This was a balance, and once this balance was disrupted, their cooperation would cease to exist. Rocky’s actions today were precisely to maintain this balance; he wanted to make it clear to the Apple Tree that Rune Technology was still in his hands.

Only by soberly realizing that they did not truly control Rune Technology, could the Apple Tree Corporation recall their relationship with Rocky, and continue to maintain it.

After the live-testing had concluded, Archimonde, representing the Apple Tree Corporation, clearly realized this point. He didn’t ask why War Steed had such strong defenses—a question that would have been pointless. Instead, he was somewhat more restrained than before and, foreseeably, after parting with Rocky, he would report everything he saw today to the Chamber, which was sufficient.

Thus, a hundred newly developed warships were formally handed over to Rocky, and soon, another batch of warships would be delivered, and this time, it would not be escort ships of that class. The Chamber would deliver to Rocky even more powerful destroyers, patrol cruisers, battleships, and even the most gargantuan floating motherships. Once these ships were obtained, with the power of the Rune Battleships, Rocky truly wouldn’t fear any single opponent anymore. If, by then, Rick still dared to cause trouble, hehe, Rocky would certainly show him an era-transcending combat power!
