"You mean the Great God of Heaven?" I immediately understood who the rose was referring to.
"Just look at it." The gold coin sits in front of the communicator and manipulates the connection image. "There's already a mosquito scout coming into the city."
Everyone's attention quickly returned to the screen, and the current communication machine was directly connected to the receiver in the giant mosquito outpost, and from here you could see the signals sent back by the various mosquito scouting wives. In the center of the picture is the signal from the fastest flying mosquito, and the smoke barrier can be clearly seen from its current vantage point.
The little mosquito quickly reached the top of the city wall, and the players who were guarding here were very serious, but unfortunately they didn't take the mosquito seriously. The scout slowly approached the smoke and plunged headlong into it. The smoke layer seemed to be still thick, and there was confusion in the picture, and nothing could be seen, and the scout flew directly forward with inertial control. After about 10 meters of smoke barrier, the picture suddenly opened up.
Bang. There was a loud bang in the conference room, and Ah Wei sat down in his chair. Although it was sudden, no one was attracted to it, because we all knew what the reason was. The scene in the picture is so shocking that we have guessed many times, but we didn't expect it to be like this.
Hiroshima, the huge port city, is the number one Japanese city in the game. But now, the central area of the city has been demolished, and there is a huge green clearing in the center of the city, and the distance from the clearing to the city gate has also been demolished, and all the buildings are gone. What was supposed to be a city building is now a wide avenue. In the heart of the city, there was one of the things that shocked us the most.
It was a massive derrick with criss-crossed steel beams and vertical steel bars as thick as buckets forming this massive support frame. These support derricks are apparently temporary structures for the construction of large equipment, and our guild has used similar equipment in the construction of the thirteen Zerg castles. And at this time. In the middle of this huge derrick, countless workers are busy.
The length of the thing being built is more than 600 meters, the width is more than 60 meters, and the height is not less than 70 meters. From its appearance, I only think of one thing - railguns. The Japanese are building super railguns, with a caliber of more than 20 meters, and a super super super railgun with a caliber of 30 times the caliber of the super-long barrel.
"How is this possible?" General Wu shouted. In any case, he is also an excellent general, and he should have a thorough understanding of weapons and equipment. He knew very well how big a railgun could be, and even if the thing in front of him was made, it would never be useful in reality, because the weight of the steel itself was enough to deform the barrel to the point where it could not be fired.
Rose frowned and said, "Grandpa Wu may have forgotten about jì, this is the game." The hardness of magic materials is many times harder than steel, and the texture is much lighter. If necessary, you can even ask a mage to bless your defenses to increase your hardness and toughness. ”
Walmart followed, "Actually, I didn't tell you about this. We have this kind of cannon ourselves. ”
"What?" More than a dozen pairs of eyes in the room were all focused on Walmart at once.
"When did our guild ever build something like this?" I asked Walmart in surprise.
Walmart replied in a whisper, "Actually, I only made it recently." The main reason is that we see that Isinger is so big, but the defensive weapon is relatively small, so we want to develop a weapon that can match the size of Isinger. So I went to the technical research department to ask for some materials, and it just so happened that the Seratiss had a new recipe with good quality materials, so we took them out and used them. ”
"How big are our guild's cannons?"
"It's a little bigger than that. However, our guild's cannon is mounted on a hydraulic turntable, and can only be rotated in place, not back and forth. I originally designed it to be used as a long-range strike weapon for Isenger. I didn't expect the Japanese to have the same design. ”
General Wu immediately asked, "What is the specific size of our guild's cannon?" Have you test-shotd? How powerful? ”
"The diameter is twenty-three meters, and the diameter of the body is thirty-two times, that is, seven hundred and thirty-six meters. We have only designed a few kinds of shells, and they are basically airburst and drop small warheads. Propulsion gunpowder is made by naval guns, which are not connected to the warhead and can be loaded with propellant as needed. Each warhead weighs about 213 tons, which can basically bombard a large village with a single shot, a city of medium size or less can basically be finished with only five or seven hits, and a large city like Cloud City can withstand 30 rounds at most. ”
"How far is this cannon?"
"The minimum firing range is five kilometers. With the help of wind magic, and regardless of the direction of the wind, the maximum range can reach 600 km. But to ensure accuracy, it is better not to exceed 400 kilometers. ”
Red Moon exclaimed, "Isn't that from here you can directly shell Hiroshima?" The straight-line distance from here to Hiroshima is about 300 kilometers! ”
Rose also immediately said: "Since our artillery can directly shell Hiroshima from Nagasaki, although the caliber of the Japanese gun is a little smaller, the firing range will not be too bad, and 300 kilometers can definitely be guaranteed." ...... so? ”
"The Japanese intend to shell Isenger directly." Sumi shouted out the inference of the rose at once.
Rose nodded: "With such a huge railgun, it is very difficult to aim and reload. Combining these two characteristics, the Japanese target must have been a very large object, and this thing moved very slowly, or at all. With these two points, there are only two goals left for the Japanese. ”
"Isengh Sky Fortress and the newly established Fulcrum City."
"Not bad. However, the defense of Fulcrum City has not been tried by the Japanese, and they have been blocked by Issinger until now, so the first person who wants to eliminate must be Isenger. ”
General Wu immediately said: "Then the enemy is going to attack us." To fight a war is to take the initiative, since we also have ultra-long-range artillery. Then strike first, and we will bombard them first, so as not to suffer when the time comes. ”
"Well, I agree with the general." I immediately said to Walmart: "Shell it now." ”
"This ......!" Walmart said embarrassedly, "Although our guild's giant cannon has already built two of them. But it's all in the steel city. Such a large cannon required the installation of a lifting chassis and movable protective armor on the Isenger ground deck, which was very time-consuming. ”
"That means you won't need it for a while, right?"
"I think so. If there is nothing to fix, as long as there is a shot, the gun carriage will fly from the east to the west of the city. ”
"Look at the screen." Bai Ling suddenly called everyone to look at the crystal screen.
Our gaze turned back to the screen as seen by a mosquito scout. It's still the same cannon in the picture, but it's closer. We can clearly see the people who are working. At first I thought these people were installing cannons, but now when I got closer, I realized that they were not installing cannons, but dismantling scaffolding. The cannon was apparently finished, and the Japanese were building it much faster than we expected.
"What now?" Ah Wei asked.
"Destroy it." Red Moon replied affirmatively.
"The question is how to destroy." The gold coin clicked on the screen a few times. "See who this is?"
There were quite a few people standing next to the terrifying cannon, but a few were clearly organizers. The station is more prominent. I found Matsumoto Masaga and Tanaka Shota in there, as well as the legendary Tenzhao clone. Since Tianzhao's clone is here. Then the situation is clear. The Spider Fortress must have been knocked down by him, the cannon hasn't even been dismantled, it can't be it, other things are not so powerful, only this Tianzhao. The Japanese player must have asked him to protect this cannon and then use it to attack us. Although Japanese players still don't know that it is Issinger in the clouds, but the earth cannon. Loading shotguns or cloudbursts would definitely force something out of the clouds, and that was the plan of the Japanese.
I stared at the doppelganger of the god of Tianzhao for a long time, and this guy's storage is really a serious problem. Don't look at him as only one person, his destructive power is on par with a Zerg fortress, and maybe even more powerful. Although we have thirteen Zerg fortresses, and Tianzhao has only sent one clone, they are still not a disadvantage. If a cannon and a pistol are equally powerful, which of them will fight better? The answer is obviously a flexible pistol. The destructive power of the Zerg Fortress is equal to that of the Tianzhao clone, but the Tianzhao clone is only one human in size. We have fortresses but they are larger than battleships, and this is obviously disproportionate.
Rose put her hand on the back of my hand on the table, and I looked over to her. We looked at each other. I instantly understood what the other party meant. We turned to everyone at the same time and said in a synchronized voice the common decision: "Send out Esinger, use weapons of mass destruction, and wipe Hiroshima off the map." ”
Everyone looked at the two of us in surprise, but quickly reacted. Eagle immediately said: "Yes, activate Issinger immediately, and kill the other party before it suffers." ”
The clouds over Nagasaki suddenly surged, and the surrounding reporters immediately noticed this strange phenomenon, but no one knew what was going on, so they could only watch from the sidelines, expecting something of value to appear.
Inside Issinger, thirty-six large gravity-defying devices on the three steering rings were activated at the same time, and the anti-gravity devices like the gondola tram emitted a slight roar. A loud warning was played three times inside Issinger, and all players stopped moving to find a nearby place to secure themselves. Steering and movement are different, and you can't just rely on your own balance to stabilize your body.
Thirty-six orbital steering machines made a "whoosh" sound at the same time, and white high-pressure steam erupted from the wheel axle of the steering machine. With a neat clash of steel, the locking latch on the steering wheel's flywheel popped up at the same time, and the fixture slowly opened in the drive of the huge gear. The yellow warning lights at the bottom of the rail machine lit up at the same time, and there was a sound of metal grinding as thirty-six tram-like rail machines began to work at the same time.
The steering machine is actually a circular rail, and there are many magic railcars with gravity defying decorations on the tracks. It is thought that the gravity defying device cannot be translated in the horizontal plane after it is activated, so these trams will not move themselves after they are activated. But the force is still there, and the car can't move, so only the rail moves. The rails and the urban support structure are connected together, and the movement of the ring rail is actually driving the city to turn. This is the urban steering machine of Issinger.
The loud sound of metal grinding and flashing yellow sirens all together remind everyone that the turn is still going on, and that the huge city must spin at a very slow pace. In such a large city, if it rotates too fast, centrifugal force will tear the whole city apart. This time, the target was Hiroshima, and we only had to turn it at a 38-degree angle, which took about two minutes to complete. Before the city approaches the specified angle, the rail machine has begun to brake, and everything in such a large city has to be slow, and emergency braking is not fun. At the same time as the brakes are reached at the specified angle, the city stops at the desired angle. The yellow alarm light goes out, the steam unlocking device shuts down, and the force of the spring automatically brings the huge metal latch back into place to lock the drive wheels and flywheels. So that the city will not be in turmoil. The tracked gravity resistance device at the bottom of the city is activated, and the gravity resistance device on the track steering machine is automatically turned off. There was a roar, and then Isenger shuddered. Then we started moving towards Hiroshima.
Players outside quickly noticed that the big guy was moving, and although the clouds were moving at a very slow pace, it was now midday, and the shadows on the ground could easily reveal the city's movements. Half an hour later, most of the people who were paying attention to the situation on the battlefield knew that the strange cloud hanging over Nagasaki's head was moving.
Eichinger's acceleration is slow, his weight is too great, and he has to take it easy. But once the speed came up, it became more obvious, and all the reporters also noticed that the clouds were moving in the direction of Hiroshima. Naturally, the observation posts of the Japanese are no worse than the eyesight of journalists. They had already noticed that the clouds were approaching Hiroshima.
"Urgent war report." One of the players flew up to Matsumoto's side, nearly knocking Matsumoto out of him.
Matsumoto Masaga held the guy up. "What's going on in a panic?"
"It's moving, the cloud is moving."
"Moved?" Shota Tanaka squeezed over and grabbed the man and asked, "In which direction?" What is the speed? ”
"It's coming straight to us, about eight kilometers per hour, and it's still accelerating slowly."
After hearing this, Matsumoto Masaga immediately turned around and shouted to the people who were busy on the gun mount: "How long will it take for the ghost fire cannon to be used?" ”
A technical foreman immediately replied: "The main body is already finished, it is enough to correct the lower angle after removing the gun carriage." If nothing else, it will take about two hours. ”
"Speed up."
On the other side, I'm also asking Walmart: "What is our speed now?" ”
"Ten kilometers per hour."
"Acceleration to 30 km/h with maximum torque."
"This ...... I'm afraid the machine won't be able to withstand it. ”
Rose stepped forward and said, "We don't have time. ”
Ah Wei asked, "Why don't we send the air force to destroy the artillery first?" ”
Before I could answer, Su Mei spoke first: "Last time in the battle of Japan, we defended and the other side attacked, but we were defeated. This time you let us attack them and defend. Isn't that harder to deal with? ”
"But our equipment is more advanced than before, and there are more people!"
"But Tianzhao's clone is there, and the Zerg fortress will not play a role but will be smashed to pieces. The Spider Fortress has just returned. You can also see the injury, sending the Zerg fortress in the past is to feed the fish, which is meaningless. As for the air cavalry, it is an assault force, and it is okay to sneak attack and copy the rear road, and it is also a pile of people to attack key cities that are prepared and have large corps assembled, even if the artillery can be destroyed, this Japanese battle is equivalent to a failure. ”
Rose nodded and continued Sumei's words: "So we can only dispatch Isinger and use weapons of mass destruction to determine the victory once." The attack power of Tianzhao's clone is okay against the Zerg Fortress, but it is not good against Isenger. The Japanese ground forces also had little power to inflict real damage on Issinger, so we just had to make sure we took out the cannon before it was taken down. ”
"Understood." Ah Wei had just sunk and suddenly shouted, "Why don't we try Babelta?" ”
I shook my head: "Are you here to visit when you are standing there?" He's protecting that thing. Tianzhao has a talisman magic land, and there is still a possibility of Babelta focusing on the attack. But now that the energy is not enough, it is definitely useless to hit with a single shot, so if you don't believe it, let Walmart shoot a shot. ”
Ah Wei still didn't believe it in the end, Walmart really helped him test shoot once. Scout the mosquito in the footage. Dragging its long tail, a red ball of light fell from the sky like a meteor. Just as the light cluster was about to hit the cannon, Tianzhao suddenly raised his hand, and the cannon was protected by a white translucent light shield. Babelta's attacking light ball smashed on the light curtain and immediately scattered in all directions, and the surrounding buildings were burned in several places by the scattered streamer, but the cannon stopped unharmed.
"Quick, speed up." Although Babelta did not succeed in destroying the cannon, it scared Matsumoto Masaga a very much, and began to urge the Japanese players to speed up.
At around 2:20 p.m., the super cannon in the center of Hiroshima Castle had finally completed its final adjustments and was ready for actual combat, just as Isenger had just passed near Saga. It's still a long way from Hiroshima. With the speed of a snail like Esinger, it would take at least 8 p.m. to reach Hiroshima. But now the Japanese ground artillery has been completed.
"Oh no, the Japanese are going to open fire." Red Moon, who had been staring at the footage transmitted by the scouting mosquitoes, screamed.
"Quick, activate the shield. Isenger Level 1 Combat Readiness. ”
Matsumoto Masaga in Hiroshima Castle also shouted in his throat: "Hurry up, load quickly, hurry up over there." Immediately measure the enemy's position and prepare for launch. ”
Behind the giant railgun, hundreds of players operate complex lifting equipment to reload the cannon. The caliber of this railgun was twenty-one meters, and the length of the shells reached seventy meters. It's simply a super-large transport plane. With such a large shell, it is a very troublesome thing to reload. If it weren't for the fact that there were a large number of giant monsters in the game, this cannonball would not have been able to be loaded by manpower anyway.
It took a full twenty-three minutes to load, and it was not until 2:45 p.m. that the shells were loaded. The surveyor took Issinger's latest azimuth and began to direct a large group of players to adjust the steering and elevation angles of the cannon, and hundreds of players ordered their large monsters to push the winch to drive the railgun gear set to work, and the muzzle of the gun began to adjust the angle little by little. The angle of rotation required for the first launch was relatively large, so it was particularly delayed, and the angle was finally determined at more than three o'clock.
"It's done." The commander excitedly reported to Masaka Matsumoto.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
All the Japanese players in the city crouched down on the spot and wore special earmuffs, while the Japanese players outside the city who were ordered to assemble covered their ears. There was a loud bang that shook the mountains. All of a sudden, the footage of spotting mosquitoes was gone. But what has happened to us.
"The enemy opened fire. At maximum power of the defense system, Issinger accelerated again. ”
Huge cannonballs whizzed towards Isenger, and five seconds later the signal to detect mosquitoes suddenly returned. The Japanese players in the city fell to the ground. The cannon was still smoking, and the huge smoke had made the city almost invisible. Outside the city, Japanese players heard nothing but the loud sound of a volcanic eruption. Our spy Ryohara Blowing had long reported that Matsumoto Masaga had the Japanese guild assemble towards Hiroshima, but all those who arrived in Hiroshima did not enter the city, but assembled outside the city. Only a small number of people were able to enter Hiroshima, which is why we never got information. I have to say that Matsumoto Masaka's secrecy measures are in place, if we had known that they were doing this here, we should have done it a long time ago.
In fact, we overestimate the Japanese. This cannon was not made by the Japanese at all. Its owner is Russian. The Russian kid who sold the defense system was scolded by Matsumoto Masaga and ran away, and then he brought this thing to save face, after all, the Iron Curtain device was too humiliating. The production of super railguns is very difficult, and the Russians have only a few of them. This door was shipped to Japan and was built a long time ago, but because of its large size, it had to be disassembled and transported during transportation, so it took so long to assemble. If the Japanese really produced this cannon temporarily, even if they had the technology and equipment, even if they started to build it as soon as they saw us, they would definitely not be able to catch up with the seven-day defense time.
In any case, the Japanese assembled the cannon first, and they opened fire. After about a few minutes we heard a loud rumble. The sound of heavy shells breaking through the ground is not like the sound of cannonballs, but like meteorites coming down. There was a shockwave in the sound, and everyone felt their hearts beat with it.
The shells were coming straight ahead, but they seemed to be high. The warhead did not touch the shield. Instead, the side of the bomb grazed our ground, sending out a cacophonic grinding sound and a rainbow of flames in the sky of Isengard.
The cannonball grazed the top shield and slipped over the city, and the warhead flew a short distance to the back of the city before it suddenly landed, and the ground shook violently with a bang, but the sky was not affected by Issinger.
"Haha, I didn't hit." Ah Wei hugged the gold coin and waited for a long time without feeling the vibration before screaming happily.
Rose also stood up from my arms and patted her chest and said, "No, I'm going to look outside, I can't stand waiting here." ”
General Wu also hurriedly said: "I'll go too, it's too uncomfortable to wait here to be bombed." ”
I saw that everyone had this meaning and hurriedly said: "Anyway, there is also a set of communication equipment in the top square, so let's just go up together." ”
"Okay." Let's get back together.
Matsumoto Masaga in Hiroshima Castle is furious. "What the hell, I actually missed. What do you all do? Hurry up and reload. ”
The Russian young man next to him hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry. At such a long distance, it is difficult to ensure accuracy. It's good to be able to wipe it. The starting hit requirements are too high, right? ”
No matter how angry Masaka Matsumoto is. A miss is a miss, and Japanese players have to honestly reload. It was maddening to carry such a large shell, and it took another twenty-three minutes for the large group of players to reload the second shell. This time, the calibration direction was much faster, and it was completed in a few minutes. At half past three, Matsumoto Masaga gave the order to open fire again.
The moment the cannon rang out, we lost the picture again, and it was normal for the mosquito scout to not work properly in such a violent shock wave, but after a few seconds it was back to normal.
"Elevated." I gave such a reluctant order. Hopefully you can dodge attacks. With Issinger's size and speed, dodging is almost impossible. Such a big target, if it weren't for the hundreds of kilometers away, ordinary people could hit it with their eyes closed.
Maybe we were lucky, maybe the Japanese players were too nervous, or maybe it was because of my order, and the second shell missed anyway. This time, the shell grazed the bottom of Isenger's ground, and if I hadn't ordered the elevation to be raised, I would have been hit. However, this time we get the information that Issinger's defense system has no defensive effect against such a massive object. Only one layer of the shield is a physical shield. Everything else is magic-proof. But this shield is designed to resist shells weighing tens of kilograms or several tons of projectiles, not shells weighing two or three hundred tons. The only use of the shield is to reduce the velocity of the shells a little, but this is basically of little practical significance.
"Theirs. Get the hell out of here. Matsumoto kicked the surveyor off the measuring position, picked up the drawings and began to calculate and compare. The personnel who loaded the shells in the back were busy loading the next round, and everyone did not dare to squeak. Matsumoto Masaga is going crazy now, and whoever speaks is looking for scolding.
The reload time of the super cannon is almost twenty-three minutes, and the basic calculation is that it takes about half an hour to fire a shot. At around four o'clock, the angle calculated by Matsumoto Masaga himself finally came out, and a large group of players quickly adjusted the angle, and this time the range of movement was very small, and it was done at once.
"Fire." Matsumoto Masaga yelled again, as if his voice was the driving force behind the projectile.
We didn't even believe we could dodge this third shell, and in fact we didn't. A third shell broke through the clouds and hit the middle part of the Sky Fortress at Isengard. There was a loud bang accompanied by a strange sound of metal twisting, and Isenger shook violently, and we all fell on our heels. I hugged Rose, and the Child of the Night caught his grandfather, General Wu, a little guard who was quite competent.
The sound of metal tearing was accompanied by the sound of explosions, but the shaking only happened once. Although there was a continuous explosion after that, it was not very loud, so shouldn't such a large shell be so powerful? One by one, we got up from the ground, and before Rose could get up, she shouted, "Report the situation." ”
In fact, everyone already knows in their hearts that such a strong impact shows that it was hit, but the shell must not have exploded, otherwise it would not be so stable. NPC guards quickly reported: "The middle storage area was shot, the shell penetrated the outer armor and the warehouse armor door and protruded into the living quarters, but it was a dud, not exploded." ”
About this dud, our reaction is naturally very confused. When everyone rushed to the area where they were hit, they only saw a huge iron bump that had been severely deformed, leaning crookedly against the ruins of a building, and in front of this iron guy stood two black and white figures dancing.
"Auspicious? Wishful? "Everyone instantly understood what was going on. The two lucky gods of our guild actually happened to be active in the living quarters of the middle level, and the cannonballs hit here naturally so they had to pretend to be dumb.
We understand that Matsumoto Masaga does not understand, the clouds and fog obscure the view, and they cannot see the results of the battle. The first two shots knew that they were not hit because the shell flew out, but this shell did not come out when it entered the clouds, obviously it was hit, but the clouds still flew on their own, as if they were not affected in any way.
"Doesn't it work?" Matsumoto asked the Russian with confusion and surprise.
The young Russian had nothing to do but shake his head helplessly, and he didn't know why such a big shell disappeared silently. It is said that if you hit the target, the sound of the explosion should be heard dozens of kilometers away!
In fact, this shell is not really completely useless. Just when all the Japanese were confused as to why the shells were ineffective, and the people of our guild were busy cleaning up the duds and repairing the armor, an accident happened that no one expected.
The reporters below Issinger and the Japanese monitors were watching the reaction of the clouds in the sky, and they had just seen a shell fly in, and it had been so long since they had been there, so why was there no movement at all? Everyone was wondering, and suddenly someone noticed that the way the cloud rolled was not quite right, and there seemed to be some faint shadows at the edge of the cloud.
"Oh my God! O my Virgin Mary! What do I see? A journalist from a European country cried out in surprise, his mouth completely oblivious to how to close his mouth.
The clouds in the sky were thinning out, and on the side of Isengard's direction, the clouds were being pushed apart by something, and some large shadows appeared. As the shadow became clearer and clearer, a magnificent sky-blue wall suddenly emerged from the edge of the clouds. It was this terrible wall that frightened the poor journalist and even called out Mary.
Not only were the clouds pushed to both sides, but behind the massive walls was something more. The bottom armor layer of steel, the exquisite pattern carving, the oversized guild logo, the forest of defensive weapons, and the colorful protective shields are all vibrating the nerves of every audience.
A player in Hiroshima stumbled in front of Matsumoto Masaga: "Out...... It's out. The contents of the clouds came out. It's a city, a city. ”
"What did you say?" Matsumoto Masaga didn't react for a while.
The player immediately repeated. "City. The cloud we fought hid the city of the Frost Rose Alliance, a megacity more than ten times the size of Tokyo, a mobile city that could float in the air. ”
"Is that a city?" Shota Tanaka reacted before Matsumoto Masaga. He said to himself on the side: "No wonder, no wonder. No wonder they carried so many air forces, no wonder they dispatched those three terrifying giant insects, which turned out to be a city, a mobile city that could fly. ”
Compared to the shock of the reporters, the horror of the Japanese players, and the chaos of our guild people.
"What the hell is going on? Why did the fog suddenly disappear? ”
The NPC soldier reported, "President, the vibration just now seems to have broken the Divine Mist Wind Chimes, so the fog is gone. ”
