Volume 20 Chapter 148 Mission Start
"Where are we?" Standing at the bow of the boat, I asked while looking at the dark sea of clouds around me.
At this time, our spacecraft was a little bit above the clouds, and the entire bottom of the ship was traveling through the clouds, looking like a ship sailing in the sea of clouds. The reason why we flew at this height was because the sea of clouds was below. As long as we descended slightly, we could hide in the clouds. At that time, even if some flying units passed by nearby, they would not notice us.
The player I asked took the map and looked at it for a while but still couldn't answer my question. It was high here and there was no landmark reference object, so it was impossible to determine the location. More importantly, the system map brought by the player now has no coordinate range to query, so that thing can't help now.
I waved my hand indifferently and told the player not to care. I was about to say something, but suddenly something seemed to flash in the sea of clouds ahead, but when I looked carefully, it disappeared. Although the thing only stayed on my retina for a very short time, I was a dragon clan, not a human, and there was no hallucination, so I almost immediately confirmed that I did see something.
"Note that unknown objects were found at the eleven o'clock direction."
Almost accompanied by my shouting, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out of the sea of clouds at the eleven o'clock direction, then almost brushed over the bow of the ship and jumped onto the weapon deck. Then the thing jumped again and directly brushed across the Central Island Bridge and landed on the flight deck. However, before we could react to this thing, we suddenly saw a huge flying insect like a centipede floating in the sea of clouds in front of us. However, the time when this thing showed up was wrong, and we could not avoid the bow of the ship. As soon as half of our body emerged, we were hit by the bow.
Our spacecraft has a weight of 450,000 tons. If the insect weighs three tons, it will be as high as the sky. With such a big weight gap, our spacecraft has no sense of impact after hitting it. It feels like an oil tanker driving in the sea accidentally hitting a remote-controlled toy ship. Even if I witnessed the impact with my own eyes, I didn't feel any vibration in the hull.
Although there was nothing wrong with us, the centipede that was hit was in trouble. She was instantly knocked away by the bow of the ship. The short-term V-shaped acceleration almost instantly shocked the guy, and then the upper half of the thing hit the front deck directly, and then slid down the hull. However, this was not the end. As the thing slid down, the sea of clouds began to churn as if it was boiling. Then a large group of mixed formations of thunder eagles and griffins rushed out of the clouds at a very fast speed.
The guys saw our spaceship as soon as they emerged. After all, our ship in front of them was like a floating mountain, and it was unlikely that we could not see it. However, if we saw it, it would not be so easy to hide. The huge hull was too wide, because it was the direction of flight, so the relative speed was quite fast. The thunder eagles and griffins had almost no time to react like rain, and they were installed on all parts of the hull. Some of them could barely rub the hull from the outside and dodge, but the middle ones could only rush up with their teeth. As a result, I felt like I was driving a car into a chicken farm. The feathers in the sky floated down like snowflakes.
After watching the griffin and thunder eagles loaded onto the spaceship in amazement, we reacted and hurried to call for people. However, before we could react, the people on the ship had already run out one after another.
Although those little guys hit the hull and would not have any impact on the hull, the people on the bridge could see it. So after seeing so many griffins and thunder eagles collided, they immediately sounded the siren inside the hull, and as a result, a large number of combatants rushed to the deck.
Although the spacecraft is not equipped with mobile angels, the weapon system has been loaded with part of it. More importantly, the anti-landing troops on the ship have already boarded the ship. Therefore, although our attack ability against the ship has not yet been fully operational, our hull's self-defense ability has basically met the design standards.
In fact, the griffins and thunder eagles are not wild. In the collision just now, I saw a large number of players falling from the griffins and thunder eagles. These big flying creatures are not planes after all, and the players who drive them are all riding on their backs. Even if they have special seat belts, many people still overturned from their mounts under this impact. Now there are at least dozens of such players on our ship.
Although there were many outsiders on the boat, I was not worried because the other party obviously did not come to us. If the other party had known that we would pass by here, they would never have bumped into the boat like this, so this might be just a simple air traffic accident.
The armed personnel called on the deck soon ran to the flying creatures and players who landed on the deck, and the two sides immediately entered a confrontation state, and I arrived at the scene as soon as possible before the fight started.
Because the impact happened too suddenly, these people were unprepared. Many of them were still confused after getting up, but they were quick to react and immediately became alert when they saw the crowd around them and the steel deck under their feet.
Those people are of pretty good quality. The people who wake up first immediately pulled the others together. However, because of the different impact points, the crowd was unable to form one place, but divided into three encirclements. However, because I didn't plan to fight with them, the team surrounding them moved and finally surrounded them all together, which made it easier for me to confirm which one was a fraction of the time.
After the successful convergence, the tension of those people was relieved a little, and their mounts fell beside them and made a fighting stance. However, after seeing the number of people on our side, the players did not dare to provoke them, and they all tried their best to hold their mounts.
Under the restraint of both sides, the team quickly stabilized. One of the guys surrounded him came to the guy riding the black creature who got on the boat first. Now I can see clearly that this guy was riding a black shadow before, but this was not a giant dragon, but a divine dragon. To be honest, the number of divine dragons is so small compared to that of a giant dragon. At least I have never seen anyone in China who brings a divine dragon. Although the giant dragon is also rare, I have seen many players with a dragon demon pet.
Although this guy's mount is a divine dragon, it looks quite strange. First of all, the size of this divine dragon seems to be a little small, not as powerful as the divine dragon we imagined. Secondly, this guy's color is actually black, which is a very rare existence among divine dragons. The black dragon is born with dark attributes among the giant dragons, but the black dragon among the divine dragons is a very bad color, so the black divine dragon is a relatively rare existence. Finally, in addition to size and color, the dragon's head seems to be not right. The horns on the head are not two, but one, which grows in the center of the head, pointing diagonally forward.
"Little Dragon Girl, see what happened to that dragon?"
Because the dragon is relatively rare, outsiders know very little about them except the dragon clan itself, so I can only ask Xiaolongnu to help me see it.
Xiaolongnu had no training space at all. She just glanced at me with my eyes and replied directly: "This is not the latest chapter of the Dragon. The Holy Temple."
"Not a dragon?"
Xiaolongnu confirmed: "This is a demon dragon, a mixed blood of dragons and snakes. Its aggressiveness is much stronger than our divine dragons, but its actual combat power is not stronger than that of the divine dragons, and its overall quality is even worse than that of the divine dragons."
According to Xiaolongnu's explanation, this kind of demon dragon is basically a crazy dragon who does not know magic. His fighting style relies entirely on hand-to-hand combat, and his fighting style is extremely crazy. He can almost compete with the divine dragon without using magic. However, because his health and protection ability are not as good as the divine dragon, and he only knows one or two natal spells, if he really fights the divine dragon, he will basically be finished in minutes.
When we analyzed each other, the other party was also analyzing us. The guy riding the demon dragon, the guy riding the centipede, and a few guys who seemed to be the leader of this group of people gathered together, and then discussed in a low voice.
The guy riding the centipede said, "We must have bad intentions around so many of them. Why don't we break through first and then find a way?"
"What's the circumference?" A player riding a griffin next to him pointed at the top of his head: "Didn't you see the flag above?"
After he said this, the others remembered to look at the flag. After all, the hull was too big, and no one had expected that there would be a flag on the top. In fact, many people here still haven't realized the spaceship at this time. After all, they didn't see the whole picture of the hull. Judging from the impact point alone, they felt that they were more like they were hitting a mountain.
When this person reminded everyone to look at the flags, they were shocked when they didn't look at them.
"Damn, this is the Frost Rose Alliance thing!" Finally someone noticed the meaning of the flag representative. After this person said it, the others hurriedly looked at the crowd around them, and found that most of these people were NPCs, and they all carried obvious guild signs of the Frost Rose Alliance. As for standing in front of the crowd, I was recognized by the other party at a glance. After all, the group in front of me are all domestic players, and it is impossible for me, the president of the actual leader guild in China, to be completely unaware of me, the president of the domestic leader guild.
"President Zi Ri? What? Is this your thing?" After seeing me, the other party didn't discuss breaking through. The guy riding the dragon came over and shouted from a distance. Of course, he did this to make me understand that he was not here to fight, so he shouted in advance to express his attitude.
I also knew that it was probably accidental, so I didn't plan to fight with them. Besides, they seemed to be the ones who suffered the loss. Therefore, when I heard the shouts, I waved my hand and asked the guards to put away their weapons, then stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"We are from the Flyers Alliance." The guy riding the dragon said: "Our Guild is in response to your call to go to the north to fight against the Russian invasion. He was just rushing to the road. Who knew that as soon as the clouds came out of the clouds, they bumped into your head... This... By the way, what is this? I don't remember there is a mountain here!"
As expected, the other party actually regarded the spaceship as a mountain stretching out from the sea of clouds.
Although the other party made a mistake, I didn't plan to continue lying to them. It was not that I didn't want to hide the spaceship, but that if I followed his words, it would be a mountain, and I would also miss it later. Since this lie is destined to be useless, why would I say it to do? "Of course it's not a mountain." Since I didn't plan to lie, I told the truth. "You are loading the flying boat of our guild."
"Fei Feifei... spaceship?" Because we were still a little distance away, I spoke very much. Everyone on the other side heard me, so the crowd immediately became confused. Many people began to look around for evidence of this ship, and some people had even climbed up to the mount and let the mount fly to try to get the distance to see clearly. However, just as they were about to take action, I shouted first.
"Can you all be quiet first? I have something to ask you."
After all, my identity is here. When I heard me speak in such a formal and polite tone, the other party immediately became quiet. The players watched me stop there and wait for my follow-up content. The guy riding the dragon also said, "President Zi Ri is so polite. Just give me some instructions. We will do whatever we can."
I nodded and said, "Actually, it's not a hassle." After a brief pause, I continued, "My request is to hope that everyone will keep it confidential for me."
The players on the opposite side thought it was a very troublesome thing, but suddenly they heard me say they wanted to keep it secret, and they were obviously stunned, but everyone was not stupid and quickly realized what I was talking about.
Such a large spacecraft should be quite exaggerated, but they have never heard of it. What does this mean? It means that this thing is a secret weapon, and once the secret weapon is exposed, it is just a weapon. Because of this, the existence of this spacecraft must be kept confidential, which is a very easy thing to understand.
When I saw the other party's expression change, I knew they must have reacted, and then continued: "I know you have guessed the reason. That's right, our spaceship is a secret weapon, and the secret weapon must be kept secret, so I hope everyone can help me keep this secret this time. If you want to visit, you can watch whatever you want, but please don't use the record crystal, and you can't post what you saw tonight on the forum. At least before our Frost Rose Alliance spaceship appears on the battlefield for the first time, please don't tell it."
When the dragon rider heard that it was just a secret, he immediately turned around and said to the person behind him: "You all heard it, and after you go back, you kept your mouth shut. If anyone leaked the matter, it would be against me, Tang Fei, or against our Flyer Alliance. Do you understand?"
The players behind responded. Although the voices were a little messy, no one opposed it. Everyone could obviously understand our reasonable requirements. Of course, this was just an insurance policy for the spaceship's secret. After all, people have the habit of showing off, and knowing some secrets that others don't know is a good material for showing off, so many people will be very good at telling this matter. Even if I agree to me today, I may not be able to last for a long time. Maybe I agree tonight and will post it to the forum tomorrow morning. Of course, I don't care if the news is really leaked. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the spaceship will not have much impact on us if the other party knows it in advance. Of course, it would be better if it suddenly appears on the battlefield at some point. If it cannot be kept secret, it doesn't matter.
After the other party accepted my request, I naturally asked the guards to withdraw, and the other party unanimously asked to visit the spacecraft. Even if we can't say it now, we can say it in the future. It is impossible for us to hide the spacecraft forever. As long as the spacecraft appears on the battlefield, there is no need to keep it confidential. Besides, when they think, the Russians are planning to invade our country again, so they probably will soon appear on the Sino-Russian battlefield. If they know a lot of unknown secret data about the spacecraft, they can brag about it. Because of this idea, everyone did not take the confidentiality seriously before, and it was not long anyway. Of course, it was also because of this idea that they had to visit the spacecraft. In this way, people only knew the appearance data, but they could tell them clearly how long and wide the ship was, how fast, how many weapons it had, and what special abilities it had. How awesome it was.
I also understand everyone's psychology, so in order to keep them confidential, I naturally don't mind letting them see it. Anyway, the video needs to be taken out, and we can't take pictures of things with them, so even if they leak the secret, it's just a superficial article and has no impact on our combat effectiveness.
As a spaceship with mobile angels as its main attack force, the mooring area on the ship is naturally quite large, and everyone's mounts were arranged in the mooring area. Then I took them to visit the various functional areas of the spaceship, of course, the most shocking one was the sun furnace. This thing was shocked by our group of Frost Rose League's top leaders to the outside and the inside. Of course, it was even more difficult for these ordinary players who had never seen advanced magic equipment. At that time, many people were trembling with excitement when they saw this thing. After all, a large fireball floating in front of you under the constraints of a pile of machinery, and that scene was quite shocking.
After spending more than an hour roughly visiting several major areas of the spacecraft, the group of talents left the spacecraft with an unsatisfactory feeling. Before leaving, I asked them to take a photo with them on the background of the bridge, which I naturally couldn't refuse.
After the group photo, everyone finally left the spaceship with satisfaction, but their excitement did not last long, because when they flew under the clouds and saw the ground below, they immediately burst into tears. When they were playing on the spaceship, we did not stop moving forward, which means that the spaceship had been moving west for more than an hour, and their target was northeast, which means that our direction was basically reversed. Considering the speed of the spaceship, this more than an hour of sailing almost offset the journey they had passed in one night. They had forgotten this matter before when they were too excited on the ship. As a result, when they remembered, they flew under the clouds and found that they were actually more west than when they set off at night, which was equivalent to the inaction they had traveled this night.
The Flyers Alliance can ignore them for now. We are very happy to fly anyway. However, this air crash also reminded us that things like spacecraft actually require a kind of radar-like equipment to assist in flight. This time we just bumped into some flying monsters. In the future, more spacecraft in our guild will increase. It is difficult to guarantee that no one will hit one's own people, so we must install a device for the spacecraft that can detect targets from a long distance. However, our guild has no technical reserves, so we can only make a research plan for the time being. It is estimated that there will be some other things to do when the results will be produced.
After seeing off the Flyers Alliance, the speed of the spacecraft increased significantly. It was probably because the captain was worried that if he could not get to the Steel City before dawn, the existence of the spacecraft would be exposed. Fortunately, we were actually not far from Steel City. Soon we saw the defensive buildings outside the Steel City. There was also a black area next to the Steel City. It was the Zerg base expanded by my parasite. However, in addition to the super fast reproduction speed, these guys did not seem to be very suitable for war, but they had strong auxiliary capabilities. For example, when moving supplies, the opponent's Zerg army was astonishingly fast.
The Steel City has obviously prepared for the spacecraft for a long time. At the end of our sight, there is a large area of complex steel frame structure. The entire area is composed of towering all-steel support columns and various beams and passages. Looking at the structure composed of these steel frames, it should be the take-off and landing platform prepared for the spacecraft.
Because the speed of the spacecraft had dropped to about three kilometers and was very low at this time, the people below had noticed us long ago. Several messengers landed on the spacecraft on both sides of the flying dragon, then said hello to me and ran to the bridge to help the captain lead the way.
Under the guidance of these messengers, the captain gradually slowed down the spacecraft and adjusted the direction slightly. The entire ship shook forward for a short distance with inertia and then stabilized at a little above the take-off and landing platform.
After the spacecraft stopped, hundreds of mobile angels immediately flew up on the take-off and landing platform below. Each of them carried a thick steel cable. After flying to the ship, these mobile angels quickly connected the steel cables with the fixing bolts on the hull. After confirming that all the steel cables were connected, the winch on the take-off and landing platform below immediately began to rotate, and the spacecraft gradually moved directly above the take-off and landing platform under the traction of more than 100 steel cables, and the hull was gradually pulled towards the take-off and landing platform.
As the traction cable gradually tightened, the spacecraft itself was slowly reducing its output power. After about ten minutes, the spacecraft finally landed accurately on the take-off and landing platform with a bang. Since the support points on the take-off and landing platform are designed for the structure and shape of the spacecraft, it just happened to allow the spacecraft to park steadily on the platform. In order to reduce the impact during landing, there were buffer springs installed under these support columns. After landing, our spacecraft gradually closed and settled down for a distance before it completely stabilized.
As soon as the spacecraft stopped, many protective plates and support frames were immediately unfolded on the take-off and landing platform. Many workers also ran out of the bunker they had hidden before and began to get busy on the surface of the spacecraft like an ant colony.
While the workers were busy completing the final preparations for the spacecraft, more than a dozen huge spiral ladders also extended from the take-off and landing platform. The lower part of the spiral ladder extends to the ground, and the upper part is connected to the take-off deck of the spacecraft. This connection position should be specially designed, because the spiral ladder can just match the waterproof gate on the side of the take-off deck of the spacecraft. Of course, the gate is open at this time.
As the spiral ladder was set up, immediately there were teams of mobile angels in the lower part of the steel city, rumbling out in a neat queue. Then, after reaching the hanging ladder, these mobile angels each chose a spiral ladder to start walking online.
These maneuver angels are obviously ship-based maneuver angels specially equipped for spacecraft. From the appearance alone, these ship-based maneuver angels are not much different from conventional models. They look like they are the previous air combat maneuver angels. Of course, there are still many differences inside.
With the technical support of the Iron Empire, all the new motorized angels have replaced the solar furnace power device, which increases the explosive power of the motorized angels by 8% and the battery life of 200% without changing other equipment. The most important thing is to reduce the energy consumption by 30%.
In addition to the complete replacement of new energy in terms of power, the new carrier-based maneuverable angels also have small-scale changes in the drive devices they are equipped with, but they are all small-scale improvements and have not been replaced on a large scale. In terms of performance adjustment, the adjustment of the ship-based model is closer to the air combat type, that is, lightweight and high-speed combat. However, the carrier-based model has been strengthened in armor protection compared to the air combat type, so the weight has increased slightly. However, because of the replacement of new energy, the maneuverable ability is still enhanced, but the battery life time will not be as long as the air combat type replaced with new energy. After all, the carrier-based maneuverable angels always have spacecraft moving with them and can return to the air at any time to supplement energy, so the battery life time is not a problem for them.
In fact, the carrier-based mobile angel is just the main mobile angel carrying mode on the spacecraft, and it does not mean that the only one mobile angel is on the spacecraft.
Originally, according to the actual capacity of the spacecraft, if all the motorized angels are filled, the final capacity may be as high as thousands. However, considering that our guild does not have so many motorized angels to provide, the final decision is that this spacecraft only carries 1,200 motorized angels. Although it is more than half lower than the actual maximum capacity, this combat power is actually quite terrifying.
The final assembly of the spacecraft will take about one day, and a series of tests will be conducted afterwards to understand the various extreme performances of the spacecraft, but we can't wait for that test now.
When the spacecraft stopped on the take-off and landing platform and started loading the motorized angels, it was actually a bit dark on the sky on Aisinger's side. The geographical location of Steel City is much west than that of Isinger, and the two are not in the same time zone, so although it is still dark on the side of Steel City, it is actually almost dawn on the side of Isinger.
In order to save time, I returned to Aisinger before everyone went online, and then started running around the various warehouses of the guild, preparing all the things I could think of and might be able to use. Finally, I decided that there was really nothing to install before I went to find Rose. At this time, the Eagle had already been online, and others were online one after another.
"It's still early, why did you come up so early?" I asked casually when I saw that the eagle was already online.
As soon as the Eagle was about to speak, he saw a flash of people around us, and Hongyue and Big Pot Fried appeared beside us at the same time. Because when we were offline last night, everyone was offline together, so after they went online, they all concentrated on the agreed meeting point, which is the conference hall of our guild.
After Hongyue and Daguo Mi appeared, there was a group of people flashing around me. In the end, I counted the heads and it was almost impossible for Ye Zhizi to arrive.
"Didn't the appointment bet at 8 o'clock? It's only seven o'clock, why did they all come up?" I looked at everyone in surprise and asked.
Hongyue directly explained: "I thought I had to add various medicines and daily necessities before doing the task, so I planned to come up and prepare in advance."
Ying nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
"You guys are all planning this way, right?" After I asked, I found that everyone around me was nodding. After a long time, everyone thought about going together.
Watching them watch me and wait for me to explain why I reacted so much to them that I was so early, I simply threw out twenty-two identical trunks. Because our guild players are equipped with phoenix dragons, everyone has a large storage space. Considering that some people may not have time to prepare during the war, our guild has specially customized this kind of trunk. You can put all the possible things in the box in advance according to the task needs. When the war starts, just send a box to each member. This is much more efficient than asking everyone to buy medicines, food and other supplies by themselves.
Everyone immediately understood why I was so responsive when they saw the box I threw out. The guy named Mohammed said directly: "If I had known that you would have prepared, I wouldn't have been able to get up so early!"
"Why are you planning to go offline and sleep?" The guy who was standing next to Mohammed teased.
Mohammed smiled and punched him, and before they could continue to quarrel, he saw Ye Zhizi appearing out between them. Seeing that we were so big, we stared at him together, Ye Zhizi immediately began to apologize. After seeing us with a strange look, we remembered to look at the system clock. It turned out that it was not that he was late, but that everyone arrived too early. As soon as he came up, he found that he was one of the people in the crowd, and he thought that the clock at his home was wrong.
"Okay, the equipment is in the box, I have all the supplies I can think of. When I call the rose back, we will prepare for the mission together."
"Don't call." As soon as I finished speaking, Rose walked in from outside, and then threw a ball of things into Matsumoto Masaga. "You four of you put this on."
Matsumoto Masaga shook the things in his hand in confusion and realized that it was a cloak. So he threw the other three to August Sunflower and the others, and then asked, "What are you doing for me?"
"Because I just found out that we misread the mission reel before."
"Ah? Did you see it wrong?"
Rose opened the scroll directly and pointed to a paragraph above and said, "Please note these two sentences. At first glance, it seems that the task is carried out in the ** space, but I thought about it carefully later. We misunderstood this sentence. The meaning on the scroll should be that the task was carried out by our guild, not that the task location is in the ** space. Of course, I may also have a wrong analysis."
After hearing Rose say this, we all looked at the scroll again. It turned out that the passage about the task location seemed to have some grammar problems, which was a sentence with unknown meaning. You can understand it as completing the task in the ** space, or as completing the task in the space. In this way, because of the different locations of the sentences, the task location may have different situations. If it was a general guild, then this problem would be ignored at all. Anyway, the task is the task, and it is the same everywhere, but we have a problem here.
To be continued...
