Chapter 418: Approaching the destination(1/2)
"Wow..." As soon as I walked out of the bottom exit of Aisinger Sky City, all the children were stunned by the scene in front of me. // Welcome to read//.
Because Aisinger Sky City is inverted, its bottom is actually located above, and this part itself is a whole flat base without any extras. Under normal circumstances, Aisinger Mobile Fortress should be anchored in the center of the bottom of Aisinger Sky City, where there is a dedicated connection device that can fix the two together. Of course, even if it is not fixed, the power required to separate the two is very terrifying.
Although the bottom of this Aisinger Sky City is mainly used to moor the Aisinger Mobile Fortress, because the Aisinger Sky City is not as big as that of Aisinger Sky City, there is a circle of extra space on the bottom edge of Aisinger Sky City. This blank area does not feel very large when viewed from a distance, because the size gap between the Aisinger Sky City and Aisinger Sky City is not very large, so the extra edge part does not seem to be very large.
However, if you walk to this edge personally, you will find that this so-called edge is actually very wide.
The bottom of the Aisinger Sky City is a square with a side length of 29,000 meters, while the bottom of the Aisinger Mobile Fortress is a square with a side length of 25,000 meters. Therefore, even if the Aisinger Sky City is in a mooring state, there is still a section of open space of 2,000 meters on the edge of the Aisinger Sky City. Although this two-kilometer-wide open space is not prominent compared to the size of the city itself, the width of the two-kilometer is actually very exaggerated. Such a wide area is as high as 29,000 meters, and it is easy to imagine how big the entire area is. Of course, we cannot let it stay empty for such a large space.
At first, the way to use the entire area was to continuously install cannons upwards, but later we found that doing so seemed to be of little practical significance.
Although the guild's guild mark is not Aisinger, it is a secret and not many people know it. In the eyes of others, Aisinger is the headquarters city of our guild and the core of our guild's interests. In fact, the thoughts of others are exactly what we hope they will think, so we are also deliberately showing Aisinger's important surname so that others can mistakenly think that our guild headquarters city is Aisinger. In this way, even if any conspiracy against our guild and happens to succeed, at least it will not hurt our guild core.
Although we initially meant to use Aisinger as a shield, because of the subsequent development and growth of our guild, Aisinger's defense also increased. As a result, Aisinger has basically become an impregnable super fortress. Not to mention destroying it, even launching a terrorist attack on it is not an easy task.
Because of the strength of our guild, it is almost impossible for anyone to truly attack the city of Aisinger. And even if someone really does it, with Aisinger's own defensive power, it can definitely ensure that the enemy will never come back. As for breaking the city or something... don't even think about such a fantasy thing.
Because of this situation, Aisinger is obviously over-armed now. In this case, it is obviously not a good idea to continue to add defensive weapons to Aisinger. Anyway, no one can rush in even with the current armed forces, and even if you install a few hundred cannons, it is still the same. Apart from making people feel that it seems to be safer, it actually has no practical significance at all.
Since installing cannons is not very meaningful, filling all of these areas with cannons has become a brain-sick behavior. So we only installed a few large gun positions here as suppressing firepower, and more areas have been in a blank state. However, as the guild's anti-gravity technology research gradually entered the stage of practical use, we finally got a place to use it.
These blank areas are at the bottom of Aisinger Sky City, which is located at an altitude of nearly 20,000 meters. The altitude of this place determines that it is very suitable for use as an airport, because if the aircraft takes off from here, there is no need to climb the vehicle at all, and it is enough to directly maintain a horizontal flight. Of course, there is no need to lower the altitude when returning, just maintain this altitude level and land directly. Such a height advantage is really a very good advantage for the aircraft. Moreover, if a battle occurs, the aircraft takes off from the ground, climbs up and fights, and directly dives from high altitude to accelerate and immediately enter the battle. Which of the two is better and worse is obvious.
In fact, in addition to the height advantage, this area happens to be on the edge of the city, which is also a favorable factor for takeoff and landing itself. In addition, the place itself is empty, and now it is converted into an airport base, which naturally saves a lot of costs. You should know that the interior of Aisinger is basically planned now, and some places are even rented or given to individual players or other guilds for use. If we want to set up an airport in the ground city, we must have to demolish some existing buildings. This demolition work will definitely involve a lot of interest disputes, and the investment costs and the complexity of the incident will increase exponentially.
Based on this situation, it is very appropriate to use the blank area at the bottom of Aisinger Sky City to act as an airport. Of course, there are actually no airports inside Aisinger Ground City and Sky City. However, those are small airports and are only used as temporary berths. Our spacecraft will not stop at Aisinger Ground City or Sky City when you apply for payment. After all, the airports in those two places can be directly seen, so the confidentiality is not as good as the bottom of Sky City. The place itself is 20,000 meters high, and it is covered by the permanent death fog brought by Aisinger. Except for the people from our guild, outsiders will simply look at it. Not to mention standing on the ground, even if they fly in front of you, don’t expect to see the situation inside clearly.
The children who had just walked out of the entrance of the bottom of the Aisinger Sky City looked at the large row of towering warship berths in front of them, and small stars began to flash in their eyes. What surprised them even more was that there were many large mobile devices in this place that looked like modern engineering machinery. All of these engineering equipment used wheeled walking devices, and the chassis looked the same shape, which looked like large armored vehicles, and there were more varieties of things installed in the upper part. Some equipment could be seen at a glance what they were used for, for example, there was a long telescopic arm that was obviously a crane, while more equipment could not tell what they were used for.
Although children are puzzled by these seemingly modern mechanical equipment, I know that these things just look like modern machinery, and their internal structure is just an alternative application of magic crystal power. Even the top structure of some equipment looks like mechanical structures, but in fact they use magic technology like magic golems. If you smash those things that seem to be very flexible, you will find that they are actually solid, without gears or transmission shafts, and they are completely solid lumps. Without the support of golem technology, such things will not be able to move at all.
The reason why we have to equip so many engineering equipment in the airport is a helpless move. Although our guild has created flying warships that can be practical, few people know how difficult these things are to serve. Even though many things in the game are much simplified than in reality, the Air Force is still a military branch with extremely high requirements for logistics support. Although there are not many combat personnel on these flight warships in our guild, in order to make these guys fly safely, we have to prepare ground maintenance personnel on the ground that are three times as good as those of combatants. This is still the case that we have equipped so many large equipment. If we use manpower completely... it is estimated that a spaceship with a crew of 100 people will need one to two thousand people to revolve around it.
Because these guys are under too much pressure on logistics, we have to equip a large number of ground staff and large ground staff maintenance equipment. Although the cost of these equipment is not cheap, the functions of these things often exceed the functions of ground staff, so even if it is expensive, we have to prepare a lot of these things.
Because the width of the airport is only 2,000 meters and the length is as high as 29,000 meters, this place must have commuter cars to travel. Even with the physical fitness of players in the game, it is not a joke to hike and play more than 20,000 meters.
There are many people here, so we have to use a total of four cars to get it done. Fortunately, there are always multiple commuter cars waiting here at the exit.
"President, which berth, are you going to?" The NPC, who was in charge of driving, started asking after we got on the bus.
I actually didn't know where I was going, I just wanted to transfer a spaceship from here to send us to complete the mission, so I could only signal him to drive out first, and then contact the War God while driving.
"Martial God, I need to use a spaceship to tell me which berth has an idle spaceship that can take off immediately. There are more than 40 people on my side."
"Do you need combat ships?"
"It doesn't matter, just don't delay the normal tasks."
"In this way, you can go to berth z872 on the Western Front."
"I understand." After hearing this, I immediately took a photo of the npc driving and said: "Thin line, berth No. z872."
"Ah?" The npc was obviously stunned for a moment, then quickly turned the direction and drove in the opposite direction.
"Is there anything wrong?" Because if it was just running in the wrong direction, the NPC shouldn't have reacted so much. After all, we have just started and haven't been able to get far. But his surprised expression clearly said something wrong with what I said.
Hearing my inquiry, the NPC immediately replied: "I'm just wondering, President, since you are going to the Western Front, why are you going to our Eastern Front?"
"Is this the Eastern Front?" I immediately asked in surprise after hearing the other party's answer, because I already knew why the other party had such a big reaction just now.
The airport at the bottom of the Aisinger Sky City is actually located on its edge, and the middle position needs to be left for the Aisinger Mobile Fortress to berth, so in fact, this airport is a square hollow frame. Because this airport is a hollow frame, it naturally has four sides, and these four sides are just located on four sides of the Aisinger Mobile Fortress.
The western front we are going to actually refer to the airport on the side facing the west, and we are now at the airport on the east side. And because of the safety regulations, even when the Aisinger Mobile Fortress is not present, no vehicles or individuals are allowed to cross the central blank area, because that place is the parking area of the Aisinger Mobile Fortress, and the Aisinger Mobile Fortress itself can make space jumps, so no one can be sure whether it will suddenly come back in the next second. Therefore, we set up safety regulations to prohibit any vehicles and pedestrians from entering this area, even if the Aisinger Mobile Fortress is not present.
Based on this fixed line, if we want to run from the east line to the thin line, we need to run from the exit of the east line to the airport on the south line or the north line, and then pass through a 29,000-meter-long airport before we can turn to the west line. The span is imaginable. From our current location, if we run over, we need to go through at least 35,000 meters, which is more than 35 kilometers. Although the road conditions in the airport are super good, the speed of this commuter car can reach more than 200 kilometers, and it will not take long to run over, but this matter is indeed embarrassing. As the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, I can't even figure out the southeast, northwest, and actually ran the wrong direction!
Maybe I knew I must be embarrassed now, so the npc wisely did not answer my words, but instead drove the speed of the commuter car to the limit.
The ground of the airport itself is artificially built, and because it uses magic, even the airport runway in reality is not as good as this road condition. Usually, traffic commuters use commuter lanes with a three-story overpass structure, with left and right directions separated, all of which are one-way lanes, and the speed limits on each floor are different. In this case, we directly drive the highest speed lane on the top floor. Because usually no one makes jokes like me, we run the wrong direction, so few people usually get on the top highway.
There were no obstacles, the commuter car quickly reached the extreme speed, and the Western Front Port arrived quickly. However, after getting off the expressway, you still need to find the berth. The z in the berth number mentioned by the Military God represents the left half of the port, while 872 is the serial number. Because the serial number is arranged from 001, you can easily find the corresponding berth by following the number.
When we found the berth that the War God told me, we directly discovered the spaceship we were going to take. Because the surrounding berths were all empty, there was only one spaceship among the ten berths nearby.
This is a not-so-large spacecraft, and I think this guy is a spacecraft, but I don't think it looks like a ship anyway.
The flying device in the game relies on the huge magic stance generated by the sun furnace and the super thrust generated by it to fly in the air, so there is no such thing as aerodynamic layout. Small, like mobile angels, use the principle of real-life aircraft wings on their wings, that is, use the pressure difference generated by differential airflow to provide lift flight. However, as a large warship, because the speed itself is not fast, it is even made into the shape of an aircraft.
, the wings will not produce much buoyancy. In addition, although the wings of an aircraft can generate lift, the thing will also generate lateral resistance while generating lift, hindering the speed of the aircraft when it flips. This is why the wings of fighter jets are usually not as large as civilian aircraft. It is because large wings will affect maneuverability. Although lifting can save power and improve carrying capacity, fighter jets need speed and flexibility, so sacrificing part of the carrying capacity is inevitable.
Our flying warships do not need aerodynamic structures such as wings to improve lift, so for the sake of flexibility, the structure of the spacecraft does not need to consider any aerodynamic issues at all. The speed of the spacecraft itself is not fast. As long as we are not so stupid as to make the aircraft into a speed reduction parachute, any shape is not much different for us. Anyway, our spacecraft cannot fly like the actual fighter jets, so the appearance can be completely ignored. As long as we start from a practical perspective, consider weapons and defense capabilities.
The spaceship in front of me is obviously the product of this idea, or it is simply a thing that a designer thinks about when he is bored, because its appearance seems to be an atomic model no matter how it looks. Its main body is a huge sphere, with several huge metal rings outside. These rings are fixed on the central sphere using some transverse metal structures, which look like electron orbits surrounding the atomic nucleus. Moreover, the designer actually equipped these orbits with "electronics". Each of those orbits has a small polyhedral structure that can move on the orbit. This small structure is much smaller than the large sphere in the center, but the actual size of this thing itself is not really small. Although it is not very real to see the distance now, according to my estimate, each of these small structures may be as big as a minibus.
When we approached the strangely shaped spacecraft, we finally saw clearly that the small parts surrounding the tracks were indeed slightly smaller than the minibus. And although the polyhedrons on these tracks seemed to be fully sealed, I could see that the polyhedrons actually had opening and closing mechanisms.
Although I haven't studied this spacecraft carefully, I have basically understood that these small pods hanging on the orbit around the spacecraft may be their weapon systems. According to the structure of these orbits, these pods should be able to move around the spacecraft at high speed, and the circular hull structure does not have problems with front, back and left and right at all. Considering the technical special name of the sun furnace itself, I doubt that the spacecraft may fly around like a spring ball when flying. After all, the output of the sun furnace is known for its irregularity, and the spacecraft itself is a structure without a bow and stern. It would be strange if it could still fly out of a straight line.
Although I questioned the structural problem of this thing, I did not come to inspect the spacecraft this time, so I did not go into it.
Perhaps the God of War had notified him in advance. When we arrived here, the personnel on the ship were ready to complete, and the captain of the spacecraft was also waiting on the special spiral ladder for pedaling under the ship.
Seeing us appear, the player immediately trotted over all the way, and then shouted loudly: "President, President, come here!"
Of course, ordinary spacecraft do not want anyone to guide the ship to pedal. The key is that the shape of this spacecraft is too weird. If no one is guiding, most people will never be able to see where its entrance is. Fortunately, the captain knows to wait for us below, otherwise it will take some effort to get up.
**NPC, who was a commuter car, quickly drove the car over with the other party's shout. After we got off the car, we briefly told the captain and were guided to the spaceship.
As I guessed before, this spacecraft is indeed not a mass production type, but an experimental spacecraft. Its main function is to collect flight data, so its shape is a little weird. In addition, the small pods around this guy are actually not all the weapon systems we guess. According to the captain, the internal equipment of the pods that can move in orbit is actually a new camouflage system. It has not been completely finalized yet, but there is an internal name called Magic Mirror.
"Magic Mirror? The kind of magic mirror that can talk to the master?" The leader of the group obviously has a deep understanding of fairy tales. After all, with so many children, this kind of story must be told many times.
After hearing the aunt's words, the captain smiled and said, "It's not that kind of thing. Our magic mirror is a code name, not a real mirror. However, after this thing is activated, it can indeed produce a special surname similar to a mirror. However, its function is not to reflect the light on the opposite side, but to project the light behind it to the front, so that it can become a transparent existence in the transmission path of light, and naturally it will not be discovered by people. In contrast, the mirage system we are using now, this magic mirror system will not produce any light distortion. As long as our spacecraft moves too fast, it can basically be completely invisible. Moreover, because the method we use is not a simple magic disguise, it only deflects the light, so general anti-invisibility magic is useless to us."
"So powerful?" Kris Dena also knows stealth, so she naturally has a lot of attention to this invisible ability that cannot be detected.
The captain immediately said proudly after hearing Klis Dena's words: "This is not my brag. If our spaceship starts the system, as long as we don't move, you won't even see us even with anti-invisible magic. And unless you hit our spaceship head-on, you will not be able to see our spaceship at all."
"Will this kind of invisibility fail if it encounters rain or fog?" Krissidna continued to ask.
The captain shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet. This thing is still in the test stage and has not yet been finalized. We will send you out this time. In fact, there is another task to test the spacecraft's surname. "
"Test again?" The children who followed us were scared last time, so they immediately started to scream when they heard about another test.
I quickly comforted them that this was not a warship and there would be no danger if the test was tested. However, half an hour later, even I began to realize that my words were actually very problematic, because this kind of test was not dangerous at all, but... very dangerous.
"Ah..." Accompanied by a scream that cut through the sky, a huge white sphere suddenly appeared on the sea under a pile of small objects surrounding it moving at high speed, and the speed was as fast as a white lightning flash across the water. Of course, the acceleration changes caused by this average line movement are also very terrifying, so... the children are all busy vomiting.
"What... do you have a few tests?" Kris Dena asked with a ugly face covering her mouth and looking at the captain. Although she didn't feel dizzy in the aircraft, this average movement method was not something that normal people could adapt to. In fact, except for me and the original crew, everyone else on this ship, including Kris Dena, was basically unable to withstand it.
I'm fine because the efficiency of my brain's balance system is too high, so I won't have a protective reaction because of this kind of thing, that is, I won't feel nauseous. As for the physical reaction... considering my surname, this small acceleration really cannot do anything to me.
Apart from me, those crew members were not responding too much. There were eighteen crew members on this spacecraft, including the captain, and there were not many people, but they were all players, and there was no NPC. These people were all mobilized from the guild's flight squadron. It is said that they were responsible for testing the ultimate athletic ability of the spear, so they had adapted to this great aerial change. Unfortunately, although they adapted, Kris Dena and the children could not adapt. If it weren't for my foresight that I sent each of them a sealable container in advance, then vomit would have been everywhere in the cabin.
The captain probably knew that most people couldn't stand this kind of test, so he didn't joke, but said seriously: "Most of the tests were completed before, but now there are only two tests left."
"Two more?"
"Well, don't worry, this test is very simple." After the captain finished speaking, he took out a large bundle of ropes and started to distribute them to everyone present.
Everyone took the rope mechanically, but they had no idea what the captain gave them the rope for. However, I quickly guessed the reason, and the captain had no intention of keeping it, so they started to demonstrate it to us directly. It turned out that the function of this rope was to tie oneself, and it was to firmly fix oneself in the seat.
This spacecraft is a test spacecraft, with many instruments on it and many ** position. However, in fact, not every instrument needs someone to sit there for a long time. Considering that the spacecraft itself has a special sports name, it is difficult to choose the personnel, so the final method is to let a few personnel manage multiple equipment. Anyway, those equipment does not need to be managed at all times, just copy the data after a while. It is precisely because of this reason that there are so many extra seats on the spacecraft.
Now that the captain gives us ropes and tied himself to the seat, this behavior itself is strange, especially when these actions are actually equipped with cross-stable safety belts. It can be said that in this case, the rope is simply an unnecessary item. However, the captain still asked us to tie the ropes in our inquiring eyes, so everyone did the same in the end.
In fact, after we completed the test, we realized that this rope was indeed necessary, because several people's seat belts were finally broken, and even the fixed metal rods connected to the ground of someone's seats were deformed.
Just as everyone used ropes to completely fix themselves on their seats, the players immediately began to accelerate the spaceship and move forward.
The volume of this spacecraft is actually only a little larger than that of a large torpedo boat, and even smaller than a frigate. A ship of this size can be said to be the category of a small spacecraft, but it is equipped with a large sun stove that only a large warship can be used, and it is a modified special version. The biggest difference between this special sun stove and a general sun stove is that its power increases very quickly, which is more than twice as fast as an ordinary sun stove. Although this technology cannot be popularized, at least the spacecraft in front of you enjoys the super speed brought by this super power.
The size and tonnage of the small spacecraft and the propulsion of the large warship can be imagined how terrifying the acceleration ability of this thing is. When our spacecraft rushed through the straight line, the sea surface below was cut into a large groove by the airflow it carried. And when our spacecraft flew over, a wall of water immediately broke out on the sea surface.
This rapid rushing mode lasted for five or six minutes, but we didn't feel much about this process. After all, if you run a straight line, the simple acceleration only produces a strong sense of pushing back, which makes people feel like they are being pressed on the chair. Although this feeling is more obvious, it is still far from being uncomfortable. However, just when we were wondering why we were tied up a rope, the spacecraft suddenly played in the dry land on the sea and pulled onions, and went to the sky with a whirlwind. Although it was not possible to make a standard right-angle bend because of the reason for being accustomed to the surname, the bend turned
It's scary enough, and it accelerates upward almost at a vertical angle. This terrifying gravity acceleration instantly presses all our blood to the soles of our feet. Several children with relatively fragile professions fainted on the spot. Krissidna had to push herself into the elemental mode to resist this acceleration, while others all turned their eyes and looked like they were about to hang up. Of course, although this acceleration is terrifying, it was calculated in advance and was actually within the safe range. However, after all, although it was within the safe range, it had reached the upper limit of the safety.
We haven't adapted from the sudden upward acceleration. Kris Dena was about to open her mouth and curse, but suddenly she felt the direction of gravity suddenly turn over. The spacecraft that was originally rising suddenly stopped and then fell rapidly. It was as fast as a meteorite that was invaded by an alien planet. You can even see pink light and shadow outside the spacecraft, which is a high temperature phenomenon caused by excessive friction.
"Damn it, thanks to the elemental mode in advance, otherwise you wouldn't have been killed by you!" Kris Dena can now ignore the physical impact force, so this sudden change in speed did not feel anything for her at all. She could only feel the direction of gravity flipped, and she had no actual physical feeling.
Unlike Klis Dena, others can only rely on their physical fitness to resist. Although this is a safe range, the standard of this safe range is that it will not kill people, and it does not mean that it will not cost blood. Players in the game have health points, and as long as they are not critical attacks, they will reduce their lives first, so even if many people can no longer withstand it, they will only cost some blood.
Fortunately, the gravity turning speed was very fast and it ended completely within a few seconds. Then the spacecraft that fell on the sea immediately began to slow down and soon entered a stable mode.
"Huh, I almost thought I was going to die!" a child said with lingering fear.
His words attracted a lot of discussion. The situation of rising and falling just now was even more exciting than a roller coaster. Many people were shocked. Fortunately, there was nerve protection in the game. If I were outside the game, I would definitely not let the children sit on such things.
The results of this gravity flip experiment were very successful, and a large amount of experimental data were collected, but the captain was still killed ten thousand times by the children with hatred eyes. Who told him to do such an exaggerated move that he almost lost his life.
Fortunately, there was only the last test left after this test. This test was not a test of power and energy, but a test of internal instruments, so it had no effect on us.
When the test work of the spacecraft was over, we had almost reached the waters designated by the mission reel. Because there was no test mission now, the captain was flying completely according to our command.
According to the content of the scroll, we should have actually come here by boat, because there is a route map in the content of the mission scroll. This route is obviously not an air route, but a sea map, so we can only fly close to the sea.
There is a setting in "Zero" that all mission areas can fly over, but the premise is that you do not plan to do the mission. For example, the target location of some missions is very clear, indicating that it is a lake in the center of a forest. If you fly from the sky, the lake in the forest is obviously a easy-to-find target and you can see it at a glance. However, if you really fly over, there will definitely be many unexpected accidents in the middle of the journey. The system will add a lot of extra trouble to you, ensuring that you feel that it is better to walk over than to fly over afterwards.
In fact, it is normal for the system to have such a setting. After all, the open name of "Zero" is very large. If players are allowed to perform at will, many tasks cannot be done at all. It is not that the task is too difficult to complete, but it is too simple and is suspected of giving points. Therefore, the system has set many hidden restrictions that will not be marked without affecting the content of the game. These limitations often require players to explore with their own lives. When completing the task, they must complete it according to the task specified process. This is also one of these hidden settings. Even if you know in advance what the last link of the task is, you must not skip the previous steps before, otherwise the task will definitely fail.
Our mission is to find the island. This part of our mission is to use ships to board the island, so we dare not fly at all, so we can only let the spacecraft move on the sea.
To be continued...
