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 institutions, to the middle-level large groups, companies, and astral exploration groups, to hunting teams and aliens, they all gather and distribute from Olympic 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.

Cheers and laughter came from the alley beside the street, mixed with the crisp laughter of the woman, and the smell of dirty jokes and alcohol floated into the street together.

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 passed by would cast a surprised look.

He felt very unnatural, this outfit was very normal on the earth, but in the astral world, it was a bit unique.

In the star world, no matter what profession you wear, you will wear various types of armor to improve your defense.

The more aliens lack melee means, the more armor they need.

It's a fool not to wear it.

"Equipment mall!"

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

Along the way, he has actually passed several armor shops, but they are not large in scale. Generally, such small shops are more likely to deceive people. He is more trustworthy in large chain shopping malls. It is best to be a well-known listed company on the earth with a good reputation.

The three-story equipment shopping mall has a lot of traffic.

Strangers come and go.

Ji Xinghuo followed him in, and when a male shopping guide at the door saw him, his eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed forward before the others.

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, who was about the same age as him, obviously a junior stranger, with an eager smile on his face.

Without showing timidity, he nodded expressionlessly, "Show me."

"Okay, please come with 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 performance, 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 car's equipment has already exceeded 60 Asian dollars, and it is not likely to meet a customer who spends so directly and simply 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", which can hold up to 150 arrows. There is a magnetic ring at the bottom to absorb the arrows. It is hung obliquely behind the waist so that 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 with two spare bow strings and two pulley blocks, and spent another 1000 more.

Next is to buy arrows.

In the archery gym before, Ji Xinghuo used training arrows, the arrows were streamlined, far inferior to hunting arrows in terms of lethality and penetration.

There are also many kinds 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 high-defense targets, he bought 30 solid armor-piercing arrows, which are equipped with heavier and thicker-diameter shafts, which have higher armor-piercing ability; for low-defense targets, he needs to use "Black Widow" hollowed-out triangular arrows, which are extremely sharp and can create larger wounds, causing them to lose a lot of blood. He bought 30 of them;
There are also 90 willow-leaf arrowheads, mainly 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 1 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 in his footsteps. He had heard that this kind of arrow was made according to the principle of electricity, but the materials used were produced in the astral world, and the price was quite expensive.

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

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, and soon, the shopping guide and a person who looked like a store 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 arrow, and handed it to Ji Xinghuo.

"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 manager of the shopping mall 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 kind of ether piezoelectric spar unique to the astral world. When it is deformed by force, it will generate a high-voltage current, turning the whole arrow into an electrostatic field. When it hits the target, it will release all the charges in an instant, creating a high-temperature electric shock effect."

"Even if the electric shock is not triggered, the arrow itself is very lethal."

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

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 totaled just over [-] Asian dollars, and one capacitor arrow was more expensive than all of them combined.

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

"Mr. Ji, you know the price of superconducting alloys. They are all calculated in grams. Yttrium-iron superconducting alloy is one of the rarest superconducting metals. If our store sells it cheaply, you may suspect that its quality is defective." The store 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.

Since the discovery of superconducting materials hundreds of years ago, scientists have been trying to find superconducting materials at room temperature, but have not been successful.

Until the stargate 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 applied at room temperature, and even high-temperature environments do not affect performance.

The emergence of superconducting alloys has greatly promoted the development of science and technology on 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.

"If I buy ten, how much discount can you give?"

The manager of the shopping mall thought for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, and said, "It can be reduced to [-] 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.

Both supervisors and shopping guides looked excited.

After a while.

Ji Xinghuo put on a camouflage armor and walked out of the equipment mall. This set of light armor made of composite ceramic steel is the most expensive equipment he bought 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.

The left wrist wears a "star mechanical watch", with a 50-hour scale, which can be calibrated to mark the switching time of day, star and night every day.

In the shoulder bag on the back, there are light tents, sleeping bags, a first aid kit containing 7 kinds of medicines, a compound bow repair kit, a small amount of compressed biscuits, and a water dispenser.Even this luggage is expensive, costing more than 1000 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 "Yifeng" composite hunting bow that Lu Yunhai gave him, the total value of his equipment exceeds 80 yuan, 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.
