Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 27 Capacitor Arrow

Olympia City, as the center of the earth in the star realm, naturally becomes the largest gathering place.

From the national army and official agencies, to middle-level large groups, companies, and star exploration groups, down 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.

These plants come in different colors, and together with the light emitted by the crystal street lamps, they illuminate the pedestrians in fancy clothes.

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

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

The aliens gathered in groups, some wearing full armor with only one pair of eyes exposed, and some wearing special robes, accompanied by ferocious war pets.

Some people wear casual clothes that have no defensive effect, as if a modern person has traveled to ancient times and looks 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 capabilities, the more armor they need.

 If you don’t wear it, you are a fool.

 “Equipment Mall!”

Ji Xinghuo walked 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 shopping mall has a large flow of people.

 Strange people come in and out.

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

The shopping guide next to me couldn’t help but regret that she was a step too slow.

“Hello 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 showed no timidity and nodded expressionlessly, "Take me to see it."

 “Okay, please follow me.”

This equipment supermarket has a very complete range of categories. Weapons, protective gear, consumables, and everything used by strangers can be found on the market, and the prices are clearly marked. Just looking at a certain category, it may not be as good as those specialized high-end brands, but it is still sub-top.

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

 There are many foreigners on various social platforms who have been in the star world for many years. They have evaluated various equipment based on their own experience.

 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, overall they are still trustworthy.

 Ji Xinghuo has a shopping list himself.

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

 The shopping guide could not contain the excitement in his eyes.

The price of this vehicle and equipment has exceeded 600,000 Asian dollars, and it is unlikely that you will meet a customer who is so straightforward in spending in several months.

 He completed the performance in three or four days 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 moment, this should be the last thing on the list.

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

Ji Xinghuo saw various types of hunting bows on display, mainly compound bows, with a small amount of traditional bows and barebows. Next to them was the accessories area, where all the accessories you wanted were available.

 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 movement.

 The price of this magnetic quiver is 3,000 Asian dollars.

 Then I bought a compound bow maintenance kit, which came with two spare bow strings and two pulley sets, costing 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 kinds of hunting arrows, and each company’s brand has its own characteristics.

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

 The arrowhead, shaft and nock are purchased 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, capable of creating larger wounds and causing massive blood loss. I bought 30 of them;

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

 The materials of arrow shafts are also different, and they are divided into three types: 30g, 40g and 50g. The heavier the weight, the heavier the bow will be for shooting at close range targets.

 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.

 You can usually assemble different arrows to prepare for your needs.

 In an emergency, you can quickly replace the arrows and assemble more suitable arrows. According to Ji Xinghuo's request, the shopping guide bought a large package of arrows, 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, I can see that your archery level must be very high, much better than a half-hearted ranger like me." The shopping guide complimented a few words, and then said: "Our store received a lot of archery last week. A batch of special arrows, I wonder if Mr. Ji is interested?"

Ji Xinghuo had already bought everything. When he heard 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 the principles of electricity, but the materials used were produced in the star realm and were quite expensive.

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

Very powerful!

Of course, its price is also outrageous.

If Ji Xinghuo were an ordinary ranger, he would not be interested in these capacitor arrows, but he has a rotating magnetic field and can use capacitor arrows to exert greater lethality!

 “Take me to have a look.”

"OK!"

 The shopping guide’s eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

He would casually ask every customer who came to buy arrows to sell capacitor arrows. Unexpectedly, 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.

 “Please take a look.”

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 magnetic lines are filled with some kind of peculiar "beauty". It is obviously not an ordinary metal.

“The main material of capacitor arrows 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 does not trigger an electric shock, the arrow itself is very lethal.”

“If you have electricity-related abilities, when you shoot an arrow, you can add a stronger current to it to increase its power.”

The other party was still introducing the capacitor arrows non-stop. Ji Xinghuo didn't listen anymore and asked directly: "How much does it cost?"

  “12,000 Asian dollars each.”

Ji Xinghuo shook his head subconsciously. The total of the 150 arrows he just bought was just over 10,000 Asian dollars, and each of these capacitor arrows 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 alloy is one of the most precious resources in the star realm, and its market value is extremely huge.

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

 Until the star gate opens.

Countries on Earth have discovered that superconducting mines will be born in the star realm. After being mined and refined, superconducting materials of various properties can be obtained, most of which are natural alloys.

These superconducting alloys can be used at normal temperatures, and their performance will not be affected even in high-temperature environments.

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

The most common ones are superconducting highways, maglev cars, 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.

 “If I buy ten cigarettes, how much discount can you give me?”

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

"Okay, pack it for me." Ji Xinghuo didn't bargain any more.

 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 a full 480,000 Asian dollars!

Hung from his waist is a flat-headed goose-wing knife, priced at 18,000 yuan, and a field survival tactical short knife, priced at 9,000 Asian yuan.

 Wearing a "Star Boundary Mechanical Watch" on the left wrist, it has a 50-hour scale and can be calibrated to mark the day-to-star-night switching time 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 a magnetic quiver, 150 ordinary arrows, and 10 capacitor arrows.

Ji Xinghuo spent a total of 780,000 yuan on this trip to the mall!

Including the "Yifeng" composite hunting bow given by Lu Yunhai, the total value of his equipment exceeds 800,000, which is no less than that of most rangers.

Walking in this outfit on the street looks normal.

Ji Xinghuo did not go back to the hotel. Instead, he turned around and went into a "recruitment center" near the mall to see if there was a suitable team and join him.
