Volume 20 Chapter 139: In danger of the first flight
"This...is this...the energy shield?"
Looking at the flower of energy spreading on the arm of the mobile angel, I was so excited that I didn't know what to say. (, "") According to Noreen's previous introduction, due to its own characteristics, the fully expanded sun furnace not only does not require additional protection like a general power device, but instead becomes the position that the mobile angel is least afraid of. The temperature of the small sun formed by high energy is not much lower than that of the real sun, so it can theoretically ignore physical attacks, because no matter what object hits, it will be vaporized as soon as it hits. As for energy attack, it is even more useless, as long as it cannot reach the energy energy of the small sun.
Half of the attack will be swallowed up, so as long as we fill the mobile angels with more energy, the sun furnace will become a complete energy shield. As long as the enemy dares to launch an attack, just use it to block it. As long as it can be blocked, the opponent's attack will definitely not take effect. Of course, there is also a possibility that the opponent's attack exceeds the energy limit of the sun furnace, and then it will bombard the entire mobile angel and the enemy themselves with a bang. After all, the sun furnace itself is also a huge energy body. Coupled with the energy generated by the enemy's attack, the total energy is too scary. Once it explodes, the power will definitely pit the enemy itself.
Seeing that I guessed the purpose of this design, Noreen directly explained: "The sun furnace itself can carry attacks, but because we do not intend to carry too high energy to the sun furnace on the mobile angels, the mobile angels will not often use this thing to block the attack. Generally speaking, this kind of shield is mainly used to fight against long-range attacks and ground artillery fire from mage troops. It is generally not used in melee combat, and of course it can be deployed at any time if needed."
I thought about it and asked, "What if the mobile angel's arm is cut off?"
"We have also thought of this. You saw that this is just an experimental model, but the test proves that this design is not reasonable. The energy required by the mobile angel needs to be transmitted to the whole body of the mobile angel through the shoulders, and the shoulders of the mobile angel are places where there are many moving parts, so the energy transmission pipeline can only make active connections. This design is very troublesome, the cost is a bit high, and the failure rate is not low. So we calculated comprehensively and thought the best way is to design two sun furnaces."
"two?"
Noreen nodded and said, "Yes, we plan to install two sun furnaces on the future mobile angels, but only fill the chest with one-tenth of energy and fill the energy on the arm more. In this way, the sun furnace on the arm will have stronger defense after the sun furnace is unfolded. If the shoulder is damaged or cut off, the air angel can be allowed to grab the broken arm as soon as possible to fill the energy in the sun furnace inside into the sun furnace on the chest. Moreover, according to our statistics, mobile angels rarely have shoulders cut off at one time, so in general, the energy of the sun furnace on the arm can be transferred back after being damaged."
“This is a good design.”
After understanding the internal structure of the spacecraft, I began to ask Norene about the artificial soul developed by Ryan. The artificial soul developed by Ryan is equivalent to a magic weapon. Although it is a bit large, it is relative to the size of a human. Originally, I didn't expect that the spacecraft in our guild would be so big, so at first I was worried that it would not be able to install it, but now it seems that the problem is not big. It is definitely not a problem to search the spacecraft for such a large spacecraft to make some space.
Sure enough, after communicating with Noreen, Noreen told me directly that the spacecraft has a margin of nearly twice its own weight in terms of lift, which means that even if it is installed with more than 400,000 tons, the spacecraft can still fly. As for space, this is not a problem. The space used as an emergency warehouse before was very large, and a part of it can be separated as an installation area for artificial souls. In addition, one or two mobile angel launch ports under the hull can be cancelled. Anyway, the dozen ports in the front are enough, so there are no need for so many launch ports.
After finalizing the design arrangement, I quickly ran to Ryan to discuss how to install it. After asking, I found out that Ryan had actually gone to Gangcheng to customize the equipment. I had no choice but to ask Jingjing to go to Gangcheng instead of me to ask about Ryan's progress. I went to the Guild Database to update the information. Recently, I have obtained a lot of messy information from the Olympus Tribe, and there are also a lot of new information on the Guild. I must synchronize the information of the personal database and the Guild data center so that I can understand the operation status of the Guild in a timely manner. Although our guild has a complete management mechanism, as the president, I cannot really let go and ignore anything. There is an excuse when I have something to do. If I don't work when I have nothing to do, it's unreasonable.
While searching for information in the guild database, I checked the various intelligences recently obtained by the guild's intelligence network. A while ago, there was a report that Russia seemed to be in a bad state, but there has been no movement recently, which made me very confused. This time, I checked the information and showed that the recent consumption of materials in Russia was quite amazing, especially steel, magic crystals and various magic array making materials. According to reality, these are strategic materials. Once the consumption of such materials in a certain area increases sharply, it means that there is either a war or a war is being launched in this area.
According to our intelligence, Russia now has peace on the surface, and no war has happened, so it just shows that Russia is preparing for a war, and the target of attack... except us, I can't think of anyone else.
The Russians are preparing to invade our country again, and we are now busy dealing with the Olympus tribe first, but this defense cannot be ignored, so naturally letting other guilds in our country take it for a while will become the only solution. However, before I give the order, I have to ask Rose and the others' opinions. After all, I have been busy with the matters in Greece recently. The news from Russia has been sent for so long. According to the administrative efficiency of our guild, this information should have been given a relevant instruction long ago.
When I found the rose again on the spaceship, the other management teams of our guild had already gone. As a large transnational guild, our guild has a lot of things. Even if there is a management computer like a cheater, the rest of the work is definitely not much. I heard that the spaceship was built before, and it would be almost done to watch the fun. If everyone stayed here and didn't leave, wouldn't anyone take care of the affairs of the guild?
Although the people left almost the same, the rest were heavyweights, because only Red Moon and Eagle were left beside Rose. When I arrived, the guild's one chief, two deputy, three presidents, plus Rose, the Interior Manager and the Finance Director, were all here.
"Huh? Zi Ri, why are you back?" He was obviously surprised to see the eagle appearing.
"Is it so strange when I'm back?"
"No." Ying quickly explained: "You usually spend time in the guild and don't spend much time out. I feel that you will disappear every time when you come back. I didn't expect that you could see you twice in such a short time, so I felt really surprised."
"Didn't I have a lot of things?"
When Hongyue saw Ying and I chatting around, she couldn't help but pull the topic back and said, "Didn't you come back just to chat with us, right? What's the matter?"
"By the way, I just saw the new information about our guild in the database of the God of War. Do you know that Russia is hoarding strategic materials?"
Three people were on the same head, Rose said, "I know, so a few days ago, I used the cost price to deal with the first, second, third and fourth generation mobile angels, as well as some warships and ground artillery that were eliminated by our guild to the Hot Blood Alliance, the Northern Alliance and some small guilds."
"Ah? Have you sold the fourth generation of mobile angels?" I asked in surprise.
Rose looked at me calmly and said, "Don't you sell it for exhibition? Anyway, we already have a new sun stove, and we have made great progress in many technologies. The fourth generation of mobile angels no longer have the value of remodeling. Instead of spending so much effort to modify it, it is better to eliminate it for other guilds to use it. Anyway, I count all the money we spent on mobile angels at the cost price."
"Damn, you're also called the cost price?"
"It's the money we spent on creating mobile angels, why isn't it considered a cost?"
"Okay, okay, it's not my money anyway." Discussing money with Rose is basically the same as discussing meat with a hungry tiger. It's a death-seeking behavior, so I wisely chose to change the problem. "But even if you deal with all these things, the new mobile angels in our guild cannot be produced in a short time. We will soon develop with the Olympus tribe. We will have a lot of hard work without the mobile angels participating."
"I'm not stupid, how could I not think of this?" Rose explained: "Because of the spacecraft problem, our maneuverability has been greatly improved. Therefore, with the same combat power, we do not need to maintain so many maneuver angels before to achieve similar combat effects. In addition, the combat power of the new generation of maneuver angels has been improved, and the result of my calculation is that as long as we maintain 80% of the maneuver angels before, we can achieve 200% of the combat power output in local regional battles."
"But there are at least tens of thousands of mobile angels in our guild. What should we do if we build it?"
The eagle suddenly explained: "Oh, I forgot to tell you this. Some time ago, the Atlantis Sea Clan contacted the previously lost marine race, the multi-legged fish clan. They are also races that are good at technology. Unfortunately, most of the technologies are technology we already have. However, the multi-legged fish production line they provide is really not a blowjob. That thing is like an automated robot production line in a car factory, and the speed is so fast that it is so fast. As soon as the conveyor belt is started, you can see those robotic arms carrying a string of afterimages there assembled parts. That speed is so fast that you can't react to a motor angel and assemble it. If the parts production speed could not keep up, we could now almost produce a thousand motor angels."
"Damn, this speed is too fast, right? Can the parts production speed be accelerated?"
Hongyue said: "In fact, it is not a problem of production speed, but a problem of money. Mobile angels are high-end products themselves. Other guilds can be equipped with thirty or fifty units and put them on the battlefield, so it is definitely an alternative. So the difference between 1,000 and 100 million per day is not big. We can only afford more than 10,000 units in total."
"Why is this so?" I turned my head in surprise and asked Rose: "Didn't you deal with all the mobile angels of our guild? Why did you make this so?"
Rose asked me angrily: "Where do you think the spaceship under your feet comes from? The fleet in the guild just completed the full dressing some time ago. Do you know how much it cost in total? Fortunately, they are all from the guild, which are produced and sold by themselves, otherwise even two of us would go bankrupt. It is true that I dealt with the eliminated weapons and mobile angels, but the funds I exchanged for are only enough to build 8,000 new mobile angels. Although the new technology represents stronger combat power, it also represents a higher price, so even if I take my method,
The cost price is not enough to be exchanged for new and old models one-to-one. It would be good to be able to exchange old models for more than 8,000 new models. As for the money used to build spacecraft, it is all paid with the normal profit of the guild. Thanks to our guild's ability to make money is very good. If the guild is generally unable to withstand such exaggerated money-burning speed. However, our spacecraft plan cannot build this one, and there will definitely be successor models such as ss-2, ss-3 and ss-100 in the future, so this is also a bottomless pit for throwing money. You'd better be prepared."
"Oh, Rose, you are too good at crying and poor, right?" Hongyue said: "Zi Ri, don't worry, the financial situation of our guild is not as bad as your wife said. Now it's just that the expansion of the mobile angel troops is too exaggerated. Normal combat can still be guaranteed."
I also realized when I heard Hongyue's words. Is Rose obviously crying poor? Although I don't care much about our guild's funds, I have read the income statement. The guild's various inputs in the world are hundreds of millions and billions of dollars, how could it be so poor? It is obvious that Rose deliberately said it was very miserable and forced me to make more money.
"Okay OK, Rose, I know you want me to get more money, but this thing is not in a hurry."
After hearing this, Rose just sighed: "Actually, I can't say that I'm just crying poor. Our guild really has no remaining funds. Most of the overwhelming strength advantages that our guild has shown to other guilds are actually piled up with money. Generally, guilds do not have such exaggerated scientific research investment as we do, so they will lag behind us in terms of weapons on the battlefield, so our players will suffer lower casualties than others. Over time, our guild's personnel level and equipment will naturally surpass other guilds, so we will always be much stronger than other guilds. However, the maintenance and expansion of this advantage requires financial support, so Zi Ri, you must remember that the more money you can get, the greater the advantage of our guild. Of course, funds are only one of the important components of strength, technology, talents, resources, and even certain special tasks or special relationships can become advantages."
"When did I disappoint you? But recently I will focus on the work of the Olympus tribe, so please keep a close eye on the movements of Russia. Don't just fight with the Olympus tribe, but the fire broke out in the backyard here."
Hongyue said helplessly: "This is not something we can decide! But it's no big deal. Anyway, with the first line of defense of the Northern Alliance, we can't stand the support of the Hot Blood Alliance and other guilds across the country. Besides, even if we fight against the Olympus gods, we should be able to support the Northern Alliance. After all, the war with the Olympus gods is a god war, and all we need is high-end force. Those powers that cannot be used can just support the Northern Alliance."
"That's true."
After I learned about the current operation of the guild, Eagle and Rose left first because they had something to do. Hongyue was in charge of the battle, so there was nothing to do for the time being. So I went with me to watch Noreen and the others tinker with the spaceship.
In fact, the main body of the spacecraft was completed when I boarded the ship. The welding teams I saw were actually carrying out the final assembly work. Because there were no complicated big things to be installed carefully, the construction speed of this last part was also quite amazing.
Hongyue and I stayed on the spaceship until evening. Jingjing came back in the afternoon, and Ryan was also back. But what surprised me was that he actually came back with more than a dozen artificial soul finished products.
"Damn, I thought it would take you a few days to complete."
Ryan himself also replied unexpectedly: "Actually, I thought it would take several days, but I didn't expect that all the Gangcheng's production lines are now so exaggerated after changing into the multi-legged fish production lines. In the past, we developed something to send it to us when they were free to help us test it. Now, it's all turned into machines waiting for work. As long as there is a production task, prepare the required parts or basic materials, put them in here, and the finished product will be produced immediately. I originally thought that several artificial souls would be done for a long time, but who knew that the two production lines were opened together, and I would have done it all for more than three hours. And two of them were completely communicating with the production technicians about the size of parts and special requirements, and the actual production was not even used for an hour."
"You also encountered that multi-legged fish production line? It seems that I really need to go and have a look. When I heard about it in the afternoon, I thought it was an exaggeration."
Ryan nodded in agreement, then got to the point: "You said you wanted to install my artificial soul on the spaceship. Did you ask where you are?"
"You wait, I'll find someone to take you to the installation site."
After I found Norene, Norene did not arrange the position for us to install it as we said before, but directly measured the size of the artificial soul generator and asked Ryan about the working characteristics of the artificial soul, what kind of energy is needed, and other characteristics. After synthesising the data, she took out the spaceship design drawing and made some changes, and finally took all the seventeen artificial soul generators brought back by Ryan and were dispersed in multiple locations on the spaceship.
According to Norene's words, the greatest function of artificial soul is to deceive the senses of the gods, and his intelligence is also an important attribute, so it would be a waste to simply concentrate them together as weapons. In the end, the installation location Norene chose for us is actually the control nodes on the spacecraft. She actually used the artificial soul as an auxiliary computer, which did play the greatest role of artificial soul.
After another night of intense and busy construction, the early morning of the next day, when there was a slight ray of light in the genius, the first real spaceship in our guild, the number SS-1, was finally completed.
The newly completed spacecraft has a very gorgeous blue color, which looks as dazzling as a gem. There are red grooves at various fold lines on the hull, and some important areas are mainly gold, with the surface setting with various colors. Overall, this thing still inherits the usual style of the guild's weapon system - like handicrafts more than weapons. However, you have to admit that as long as this kind of thing appears in the enemy's sight, it can have a great deterrent effect on the opponent's heart. The overall ship of Japan is broken and ragged like what I saw yesterday, and the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
In fact, regular combat weapons should not be so gorgeous. After all, the least desired thing on the battlefield is that the enemy discovers themselves in advance, so modern army has created digital camouflage, laser camouflage equipment, and military weapons are mostly dark-toned non-reflective matte surfaces, just to prevent the enemy from discovering themselves in advance. However, this setting is not so important in the game. First of all, both sides of the war are usually not professional troops, and neither side pays too much attention to this kind of thing. On the contrary, gorgeous equipment can better enhance the morale of the party to hit the enemy's arrogance. Moreover, our guild also has a mirage system that is so anti-essential camouflage equipment, so relatively speaking, the color and appearance of the spacecraft themselves are not so important.
Since the spacecraft has been assembled and the closed design is used below, it seems that the bottom of the spacecraft is like an invisible destroyer deck that is reversed. Because the whole outside is a streamlined design, there is no weapon or protrusion at all. Basically, all the components are very smooth and have a simple beauty.
Perhaps it is for the purpose of reducing resistance when navigating in the water. The bottom of the spacecraft is not only hidden in the weapon, but also the hull outside is also very beautiful and streamlined. Without testing, you can tell that the underwater resistance of this thing is definitely not large just by looking at it.
"Okay, even if the assembly is completed now, why don't you ask everyone to hold a voyage ceremony?" The two engineers who were leading the project around looked at me and asked.
I thought about it and decided to refute this proposal. "Forget it. Don't disturb others early in the morning. And although this is a ship, it is not a sea ship, so I don't have to continue the navy. Besides, now is the lowest online rate, and it will take a lot of time to get online. Why don't we drive the ship to the steel city to receive the carrier-based mobile angel formation and replenish all kinds of weapons and ammunition?"
"That's right." Nolin agreed with my opinion. It was hard for both Jiaha to object anymore, so everyone decided to set off in a low-key manner.
Although we have to set out in a low-key manner, such a big thing is really not low-key. The weight of more than 400,000 tons is still empty-load mass, plus the maximum personnel, weapons, ammunition, supplies and the largest ship-based mobile angel formation. After all, the ship can reach at least 500,000 tons after all. With such a large amount of self-importance, relying on the anti-gravity system, the impact of this energy field and the spacecraft's own gravitational field on the surrounding objects can be imagined. So this morning, the floating island of the New World felt like an earthquake for the first time.
Although the teleportation array of the New World Floating Island is directly connected to Aisinger, no matter how large the teleportation array of our guild is, we cannot teleport a giant spacecraft of 450,000 tons, so we can only fly over it ourselves. The actual geographical location of the New World Floating Island should be moving, but it generally does not leave the South Pacific region. The reason for moving in this area is mainly because there are few people here, which can reduce the chance of the floating island being discovered. After all, the floating island is the scientific research institution of our guild, and the armed forces in this place cannot be compared with Aisinger.
The fortress that is armed to the teeth. Besides, since there are important units everywhere on the island, even if the shells are dropped, it can cause significant losses. Therefore, for the floating island, the principle we adhere to is to try not to let outsiders know that such a place exists. Of course, there is nothing we can do if we are really discovered one day, but that kind of place is the same as the tiger's butt for us. If anyone dares to move the floating island in the New World, we are definitely willing to jump directly over and give them a punishment.
Today, I am quite lucky. After the spacecraft left the Floating Island of the New World, it activated the positioning function attached to the crystal communication equipment. By triangulating the nearby fixed crystal communication buoy, we can confirm our current location. Of course, if it exceeds the communication range of the communication buoy, it will be impossible. Our guild has arranged two communication buoy connection channels in the Pacific Ocean. These two channels can form a cross-connection. As long as the two groups of buoys in the same area are not finished together, the communication will not be interrupted. However, these buoys are still too small relative to the area of the Pacific Ocean, so the areas at sea that cannot receive signals still account for the majority. However, we will not be so stupid that we can open to a position without signals. Therefore, although the Floating Island is in the South Pacific, it generally does not leave the communication range. And today it is really coincidental that the Floating Island is located at the closest tour point to Aisinger. As long as we pass this store, the Floating Island will begin to move northeast and gradually move away from Aisinger.
Because this is on the sea and the Shanghai Mirage System consumes quite energy, the spacecraft did not start the Mirage System to disguise it, but instead sailed in a low-altitude area less than 200 meters away from the sea.
Although the buoyancy of the sun furnace is huge, it is the same as the general floating method. The higher the flight, the faster the energy consumption, so flying a little lower will be more energy-saving.
Because we were flying against the direction of the earth's rotation, although it was already dark when we left the floating island of the New World, the sun did not really rise until more than three hours after we flew. After all, the sun is chasing us behind our butts, and our flight speed is quite fast, so the sun feels that it can't rise anyway.
As the sun rises, visibility in the surrounding area gradually improves. However, we have just enjoyed the slowest sunrise in history for a while when we suddenly hear a harsh alarm sound from the spacecraft.
"What's going on?" When the alarm sounded, I was watching the sunrise like most people on the deck. When I heard the alarm, I rushed back in a hurry.
The spaceship was seated in the seat of a senior naval warrior from our guild, but he has recently been upgraded to be the captain of the spaceship. He replied after hearing my inquiry: "The mobile angel we sent out to reconnaissance just now reported that a large number of fleets were found in front of us."
"Do you know the fleet? Which country is from? How far is the distance? Speed, direction, and what ships are configured?"
The captain shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet. The one who just sent out was an ordinary flying mobile angel, not a special reconnaissance type. In order to avoid exposing the target, he didn't dare to let him get too close. President, you also know that the mobile angel does not have very good telescopic equipment."
As soon as the captain finished speaking, Hongyue and Nolin rushed in one after another. The captain had to say what he had just said to me. After hearing this, Hongyue immediately said, "Even if the details can't be seen clearly, the number can be counted, right? If there are not many ships, we will go and destroy them before we talk."
The captain immediately said with a bitter face: "My Vice President, please spare me, you? This ship has just been completed, and each cannon only has one or two corrective bombs for testing. The carrier-based mobile angel formation, as the main combat force, is not equipped yet. Currently, there are only eighteen conventional guardian mobile angels and three air combat units on the ship. This is still the bodyguards of several senior researchers here, and there are not any other weapons we are except for these!"
"Damn, it's so clean?" Hongyue was also shocked when she heard this answer. However, when Hongyue was scared, I reacted.
"No! Ordinary artillery and other things have no ammunition. After all, the New World Floating Island is not a weapon production base, so it is impossible to have attack ammunition on the ship. But aren't there any energy weapons on this ship? Can't the magic light cannon be used? Isn't that thing fired with energy? There is also the electromagnetic rail gun on the bow of the ship. It seems that it can use any physical substance as ammunition? If it really doesn't work, just get some sea water from below and let my magic pet freeze the water into ice. At the ammunition speed of the electromagnetic rail gun, even if it's ice, it should be fine to open a hole in a ship, right?"
As soon as I finished asking, before the captain could speak, Noreen took the lead and admitted her mistake: "This is my mistake. I used up the energy on the ship because I had to test and collect data. I originally thought I could go to Aisinger to supply it once, but I didn't expect that there might be a battle problem halfway through, so... the energy is really not enough to use firearms!"
Hongyue covered her forehead helplessly and said, "That means we are basically a completely unarmed super cake?"
When Nolin heard this, he immediately said, "It's not as bad as you think. We are spacecraft after all, and our speed is much faster than the warships in the water. As long as we don't encounter the route directly, even if we are seen, they can't catch up."
As soon as Norene finished speaking, Li Ke from the captain shouted; "A further report is released. According to the report of the mobile angel, according to the current course and speed, the opponent's fleet will encounter us head-on, and we will fly over the other's head."
When everyone heard the captain say this, everyone immediately turned their eyes to Norene. "That..." Norene hesitated and said, "Actually that energy... is very reluctant to raise the altitude or change the course!" Seeing that we still have questions, Norene quickly added: "In order to ensure the concealment of the spacecraft, we planned to let the spacecraft bypass the Japanese island chain and enter the Chinese territorial waters. Now if we raise the altitude or turn to avoid the fleet ahead, then our energy may not be enough for us to orbit the Japanese island chain. Compared to flying directly over Japan, I think it is safer to encounter that fleet head-on."
"Hahahaha, so that's how it is." After hearing Norene's explanation, I was nervous, but suddenly felt relieved. Norene and Hongyue were anxious, and suddenly I was confused when I heard my laughter. However, after I finished laughing, I said to Hongyue: "Have you forgotten our Japanese strategy?"
"Hey, right! Why did I forget this?" Hongyue immediately relaxed when she heard my reminder, but the others were even more confused.
Actually, the so-called strategy in Japan refers to the Japanese manipulation plan. Before, our guild spent a lot of money to sacrifice my reputation and the Frost Rose Alliance and pushed Matsumoto Masaki Matsumoto to the throne of the leader of the Japanese player. Therefore, although in the minds of Japanese players, Japan was successfully recaptured by them and drove the evil Chinese out of Japanese territory. However, the actual situation is that Japan is now our remote control toy. Although sometimes it cannot be played too directly, in most cases, whoever we want him to bite, he will have to bite whoever we want him to bite, and whoever they call their boss Matsumoto Masaki is my subordinate. This is called indirect control.
Therefore, because of the existence of Matsumoto Masaki's secret move, we can completely let Masaki Masaki clear the area we are about to go through. As long as we ensure that there are no players in the nearby area when we pass through this area, there is no need to worry about being discovered.
Because of the above reasons, we don’t have to worry about being discovered by the Japanese. However, because this plan is too secret, even among the people present, only Hongyue and I know it, even Norene and the others don’t know it. After all, this has nothing to do with them.
"Okay, let's decide like this, turn around. We pass directly from Japan. Taking a straight line can save a lot of distance. The energy saved should be enough for us to start the mirage system in a short time. Even if there are players on land, we can start the mirage in advance." Because we can't reveal our true thoughts, Hongyue had to make arbitrary decisions. As for other people's doubts, they can only make them doubt.
