The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 437: Oceanic Needle!

(Note: I have changed Prince Hui Pu to Prince Hewlett, it felt odd while reading.)

Su Chen's hands were constantly manipulating the interface, and the patterns on it kept changing. One moment, it resembled a house, and the next moment, it transformed into the shape of a rocket.

Frowning, Su Chen was dissatisfied with the appearance he designed for the superweapon.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind. He thought of a design and quickly drew it in a few minutes... a massive... stick!

Yes, it was a stick!

The stick was very long, reaching a height of a hundred meters. Its appearance could be seen from a distance, adorned with various ornate patterns, making it look extravagant.

To his own surprise, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. "The appearance is set. Now, it's time to describe the effects."

However, Su Chen hadn't forgotten that the main purpose of this superweapon was to immobilize enemies. Soon, another thought struck him: wouldn't it be great if the superweapon could both immobilize and eliminate enemies?

Just as Su Chen was lost in thought, the System reminded him, "Master, while the realism has been increased to 50% due to the card's effects, if the weapons you set are too advanced, the likelihood of ultimate success will approach zero. You should base the design on the existing technology of the Red Alert Base."

Su Chen was taken aback. Indeed, when the Red Alert mod function was introduced, the System had mentioned this. He had been deceived by the card's effect and forgotten this point.

If he added the ability to eliminate enemies, even with the realism raised to 50%, the actual success rate might be very low.

Closing his eyes, Su Chen carefully considered the situation. If the goal was to immobilize enemies, what technologies related to the Red Alert Base were relevant?

After about half an hour of contemplation, he suddenly opened his eyes, having an idea.

The Weapons held by the Chrono Legionnaires!

It was worth noting that when the Chrono Legionnaires were first built, even when they were only at the level of First-tier Peak strength, they could use these Weapons to deal with enemies several times more powerful, even tens of times more powerful, than themselves.

This kind of Weapon was not only powerful in terms of damage, but its ability to immobilize enemies was absolutely unparalleled among its peers.

If he used this technology to create a superweapon, the immobilization effect would likely be greatly enhanced. This was exactly the kind of superweapon Su Chen needed the most.

"Effect set: After launch, it can immobilize any enemy regardless of spatial distance. Even a Small Galaxy-level powerhouse cannot break free. Only those at the level of a Great Galaxy or higher can escape, but they will still be trapped for a certain period, the duration of which will vary based on the enemy's strength."

Su Chen only set this one effect. One effect was sufficient for a superweapon, just like other superweapons, as one effect was enough to deal with enemies.

"Is the configuration complete?" the System asked.

"Configuration complete. Let's get ready to start."

"Red Alert mod creation completed. Type: Weapons. Effect: Immobilization. After calculation, realism is at 9%, energy consumption is 15 million."

Su Chen remained calm. He knew that creating a completely new superweapon would undoubtedly require a substantial amount of energy. He wasn't concerned about this; it was just that the realism was a bit low.

The System's voice continued, "Card effect activated, forcefully raising realism by 50%. The current realism for this Red Alert mod is 59%, creation in progress, please wait."

Su Chen was momentarily stunned, then became elated.

He had forgotten one detail: the card's effect wasn't to forcibly raise the realism to 50%, but to add 50% to his existing realism. He had been misunderstanding it all along!

With 59% realism, it meant a 59% success rate. This was slightly higher than half, making it good news for Su Chen.

Listening to the System as it continued to work, Su Chen felt a nervousness he had never experienced before. The Red Alert mod was indeed a gamble; whether the creation succeeded or failed, the energy consumed would not be refunded.

Each energy point spent on creation was no less than a million!

"Congratulations, Master, on successfully creating a new Red Alert unit. Please name it."

To Su Chen, the sound of the System's voice was almost like a divine melody. For this new superweapon, he had expended not only the unique card he possessed but also 15 million energy pointsalmost an incredibly rare combination.

He had already thought of a name for this new superweapon.

"It will be called... Oceanic Needle!"

From this moment on, a new superweapon appeared on the Red Alert interfacea superweapon that Su Chen had created, the Oceanic Needle!

"Construct the Oceanic Needle."

The following day, as the people of Yan Yun Star habitually woke up and prepared for their daily tasks, they suddenly noticed a towering structure in the distance at the Red Alert Base, soaring into the sky.

They were a bit puzzled, not giving it too much thought. However, Prince Hewlett, who had been living at the Red Alert Base, could confirm that this building definitely hadn't been there yesterday.

In other words, overnight, this towering structure had suddenly appeared. Could the people at the Red Alert Base perform magic?

The addition of a new building, especially an unfamiliar one, naturally piqued Yun Ru's curiosity the most.

"Commander, what is that building, and why have I never seen it before?" Yun Ru went straight to Su Chen, her face filled with excitement.

"That's a superweapon I just created. It's nothing special," Su Chen casually replied.

Yun Ru gave her Commander a disdainful look. Despite his indifferent expression, he was using such pretentious words. Was that really necessary?

"What's its name? What does it do?"

"It's called the Oceanic Needle. Its effect is quite simpleit immobilizes enemies."

Yun Ru blinked in confusion. The name wasn't a big deal, but the effect seemed a bit strange. Why would the Commander build a superweapon that couldn't kill enemies, only immobilize them?

Su Chen could tell from Yun Ru's expression that she was puzzled. He explained, "Do you think our Base lacks powerful weapons?"

Yun Ru shook her head. As the chief scientist of the Red Alert Base, she was familiar with all the weapons and structures there.

They didn't lack powerful weapons, especially with various superweapons at their disposal. Those were all formidable tools of destruction.

However, there was one kind of superweapon they were lackinga superweapon that could immobilize enemies!

"You truly are a Commander. You've noticed the one superweapon that the Red Alert Base is missing." Once she realized this, Yun Ru's admiration for Su Chen grew even stronger.

While they had been focused on destructive power, the Commander had recognized what was missing. She suddenly felt that the Commander's presence had become even more majestic.

Su Chen basked in Yun Ru's admiring gaze. After all, creating this new superweapon had cost him his only card and 15 million energy pointssomething that was nearly impossible to come by.

"I wonder when the next ten-pull gacha will trigger." Su Chen sighed helplessly. That thing defied all logic. It never appeared when you wanted it to, and just when you forgot about it, it would suddenly show up and remind you of its existence. (To be continued)
