I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 826 - 186: Trading Up to Cannons

Various kinds of trash were piled up by the edge of the shoal.

Making this place look like a small junkyard.

But this didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of Han Zhan and the Contracted Spirit Girls.

Because treasure hunting is always something full of unknown fun.

Going through garbage bins for trash is the same.

Soon, they found their first reward: a Legendary Cannon wrapped in black sludge!

The reason they spotted it at first glance was its massive size, at least ten times larger than the three wheeled cannons on the Gray Sparrow.

Also because of this, its long barrel protruded outside, easily spotted even covered in black sludge.

No wonder the original inhabitants of Water Planet took so long to transport it.

Just from the immense size of this cannon alone, it would take at least twenty robust men to move it.

With everyone’s help, the sludge on the barrel’s surface was cleaned off, revealing the complex and ornate patterns resembling magic paths.

"This cannon... is rather beautiful..." Han Zhan marveled.

Intuition told him that this cannon was extraordinary.

At this moment, the Unparalleled Cannon Princesses, who had been cooped up on the ship, were also drawn out and came to the deck.

They saw Han Zhan’s cannon and covered their mouths in shock.

"This is... this is the renowned Legendary Cannon in Water Planet’s history, the [Empire’s Dawn]!"

As Unparalleled Cannon Princesses, their knowledge of various cannons was naturally clearer than others.

The [Empire’s Dawn], a Legendary Cannon, gained fame in the ancient Central Sea Area battlefield.

The gunner who wielded it pierced through thirty-six enemy warships with a single shot, achieving a glorious feat.

But similarly, it had significant drawbacks.

Reload speed decreased by 300%, ammo consumption increased by 200%, and each shot imposed a 30-second cooldown on the muzzle.

Most critically, its cost was exceptionally high.

So high that even the faction’s king at the time, exhausting all materials, could only forge one.

Because of these various reasons, the [Empire’s Dawn] eventually fell and was sunk, with only a few historical records remaining.

"The size of this cannon seems too big, the ’Gray Sparrow’ can’t accommodate it," Gongyang Jin remarked.

Hearing her words, the faces of the Unparalleled Cannon Princesses showed disappointment.

If one could command an [Empire’s Dawn], it would surely be every Unparalleled Cannon Princess’s dream.

Having the dream in front of them but unable to realize it is truly regrettable.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhan shook his head,

"No, it’s not entirely impossible, there is a way." Han Zhan said, looking up at Shang Siteng.

Shang Siteng understood his meaning.

A long-forgotten Talent Ability—Cargo Management - Celestial Origin (Level 90):

You will be able to unlock and replicate various materials unique to Water Planet.

Yes, replicate!

As long as Shang Siteng has enough time, she can re-modify the "Gray Sparrow", designing it into a super-sized battleship capable of bearing the [Empire’s Dawn].

"The [Empire’s Dawn] has appeared in my collection illustrated guide! I can also unlock it and then replicate it!"

Shang Siteng opened her personal panel and saw the system prompt, saying excitedly.

Her illustrated guide hadn’t been updated for so long, so long that Shang Siteng doubted if there were any other materials on Water Planet to activate her illustrated guide.

Until now, this ability was mentioned again.

"I will unlock it now, and then go to redesign a super-sized mobile sea fortress!"

Shang Siteng said excitedly.

She wasn’t just saying it casually.

If it was someone else, even a genius from the Star Domain, after entering the Water Planet, they could only recruit special NPCs to help design the battleship blueprints and build the battleship.

From drawing blueprints to construction, to completion, the cycle is extremely long, long to an infuriating degree.

But each to their own, no one could shorten this process, no genius could.

Except for Shang Siteng!

Shang Siteng’s SSS Level Talent Heaven’s Origin, after merging with Water Planet’s Talent, possesses the ability to copy materials, making some initially rare materials no longer rare.

Most importantly, as the director of the Great Xia Research Institute, Shang Siteng could recall even more complex War Fortress blueprints in her mind.

A super-sized mobile sea fortress is no challenge!

This also gave this plan a chance to come true.

Imagine, if Shang Siteng, using super technology as a foundation, constructed a super mobile sea fortress, and replicated twenty-three [Empire’s Dawn] cannons...

That would not just be described as a Sea Legend.

That would definitely be the only Overlord Level unit on the sea!

"Siteng, wait a moment," Han Zhan stopped the impatient Shang Siteng.

"The replication will greatly consume Hunger Value, Health Value, and Spiritual Value, so logistics must be prepared first."

"Furthermore, the wood used for the Gray Sparrow’s hull and keel is above average but not perfect, not ideal for the new hull material."

If a battleship is to be rebuilt, then every aspect must be the best!

"Understood," Shang Siteng nodded, agreeing with Han Zhan’s words, "Then I’ll go design the blueprint first, and the firepower distribution for the twenty-three cannons..."

Involving directions for research got Shang Siteng excited.

Xia Youwei and Li Lingzhen also returned to the "Gray Sparrow", starting to prepare food and medicine supplies.

Han Zhan and the other Contracted Spirit Girls also continued their search through the junk pile.

Their objective was clear, the primary goal of their search was— finding materials!

"We can collect various types of wood," Gongyang Jin suggested.

"If it’s special rare wood, Siteng’s illustrated guide will automatically generate a lock."

"By utilizing this rule, we can save a lot of effort. If we encounter wood we cannot identify, we can also ask others."

Whether it be the original inhabitants of the Water Village, Unparalleled Cannon Princesses, or Jian Beifang, they should all have some knowledge of these things.

Gongyang Jin’s suggestion was welcomed by everyone.

So, next, they began looking for various wood pieces in the junk pile.

During the search, they also found some other powerful premium items.

Such as unique rare special Ballast Stones, a long sword inlaid with sparkling jewels, uncorroded silver Treasure Armor, and so on.

Each of them is a treasure that has withstood hundreds and thousands of years of wear.

It’s like the accumulation of all the resources from all ages on Water Planet came together at one point in time.

Creating such a breathtaking effect as today.

Once these findings were fully absorbed, the "Gray Sparrow" would truly be transformed!
