Chapter 1091: The Outsider (6)
"The box with the high-energy fuel is a huge explosives box, and as far as I know, their speed is only a few times the speed of sound, and they can't last long, they only last less than a few minutes, and they consume most of the fuel. Usually they cruise and observe at a speed close to the speed of sound, so when they encounter a powerful enemy, as far as the snipers I just mentioned, these things are all shot one at a time. Their protection is not against the bullets of special heavy sniper rifles. Hesley retracted his gaze, "It's the planes used for daily patrols at nearby airfields, monitoring the situation on the ground and guarding the air on the other. β
The two of them continued to walk on, as the light quickly diminished and the surroundings became darker and darker under the cover of sparse trees at the foot of the mountain.
"There's no airship in the Kingdom of Chir, right?" asked Kasia on the way, the most he had seen was a train with a good speed when he came here, and the usual means of transportation were still all kinds of vehicles. The airship has never been seen before. When he went around Mikruz, he had seen the airfield in an open area, but there was no shock absorber inside, and the airport was far away from the water, and there was no river around it, so it was completely indemnified that it was not capable of docking airships.
"It's not clear. "But even if there were, it would be no more than medium-sized." But it will also be a merchant ship, and it is likely to be used for trade by some small and more developed countries. If the Kingdom of Chir wants to have a military airship, the only way to do it is to refit it. It is very expensive to convert it from commercial to military, and in addition to the power system, almost all other aspects want to meet military standards, and they almost have to be replaced. The armor of the airship alone may require a huge amount of effort. β
"Besides, having it doesn't really do anything. Unless the Kingdom of Chir can form a formation of airships, if there are only one or two, they will not have combat effectiveness. You can see the planes just now, there are upgraded versions in these small countries, most of them are upgraded in power and size, they can carry more bombs, and rely on analytical aircraft and radios to carry out precision strikes. It is almost impossible for a modified medium-sized airship to support the defense aircraft. The first is that the design starting point of commercial and military airships is different from the original, and the second is that they do not have the technology and ability to catapult and take off aircraft. I estimate that modified military airships, if they are not in formation, will only become a target for combat aircraft formations in the absence of a good defense system. In the end, they will be besieged and fallen. β
When Kasia nodded, Hesley continued: "Don't overestimate the technological level of these small countries, maybe they will be close to the empire in some aspects, but in general, they will definitely not be comparable. Let's just say that on the plane, the Empire's red-piped planes can destroy an entire formation of combat aircraft in a small country. Because it was originally developed to deal with airships, the pilots are all surgeons, and their maneuverability and firepower are certainly not bad. β
In the middle of the night, the two chose an open space to stop and rest. The surroundings are quiet, and the insects are still heard in early spring. The sky was a little bright, and I could see some stars. Leaning against the bare rocks, it can be regarded as being in harmless nature, and Kasia feels a rare relaxation.
Early the next morning, Kasia and Hesley continued on their way. Tomorrow, you will be able to reach the place where Hesley fought the rebel surgeons. The plan was to go there and see it, knowing that there would definitely be some personnel nearby, but that was also an opportunity to find out.
Kasia had explained to Hesley that in the past few days of the rebel forces, they could not do anything to the rebels' surgeons. Although it can be attributed to the fact that the king's forces have sent them to test and reduce their strength, the more they can lower their vigilance on the rebel side, the better it will be for the final plan.
After all, the purpose of Kasia's visit to the Kingdom of Chir was to make the business of the forces and factories better developed, and he came to the side of the rebel forces only to get the core of an ultra-vapor compression device. There was a possibility in his heart, and Kasia felt that he had probably seen these cores. More than half a year ago, when he met Suotagon with Ye Jielin, Suotagon was in the business of ultra-vapor compression devices. The price of a 60,000,000,000 Holy Coins, and the flow of which is clearly indicated in small countries outside the Empire.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but if Waters' side can succeed, he can earn a minimum of 60 million holy coins with some effort, and this kind of business is tantamount to a very exciting business for the current Kasia.
And on the way, looking at the mechanical transformation surgeon who can be equal to Hesley's strength can be regarded as a kind of exercise for himself. Cassia thinks that the development of surgery requires constant application and practice. He thinks his use of sound waves is a good fit for infiltration.
At noon the next day, Kasia and Waters stopped when they looked at the trap in front of them, then at the front that was shaded by trees.
"It's still a few kilometers away from the position at that time, and it seems that they attach a bit of importance to the battle armor, and the alert position has been pulled here. Hesley approached the trap and looked at itβa very simple mechanical device. Touched by a thin line, it can detonate bombs placed in several places around it, as well as signal flares fixed to the tops of several trees.
"Go around the side, go to a place where there are people first, gather information while adjusting your plan to infiltrate the mine. Cassia restored the camouflage on the trap, "Let's go up the hill, it's safer." The first thing we should pay attention to is not to be discovered by the enemy, and to avoid as much as possible if we can avoid conflicts. β
That night, the two sneaked forward from the foot of the mountain range, evading several patrols of the rebel army on the way, until late at night, when they finally saw a faint light ahead. As marked on the map, there is a large town that is one of the gathering places for the families of the mineral-digging workers in the nearby area, and is the ideal place for Cassia and Hesley to settle down this time. It is still separated from the battle line by a geographical position, so it has not yet been evacuated. And the rebels probably won't let them leave, and the mining area needs this less tense disguise to dispel the suspicions of others.
After waiting on the side of the road for more than an hour, it was time for the shift change and the quiet town came alive. There was a noticeable increase in traffic on the roads, all of which were filled with tired workers. Kasia and Hesley mingled into it and made their way to the town. Without attracting attention, prior investigation let them know that this is the native language of the Kingdom of Chir and the common Chinese language of the Far Sea, and there are still some energetic people who come out to play at night, and Kasia and Heslie are treated as such.
Then I found a small hotel to stay, ate some food, and began to rest. Early the next morning, they discussed on the way, and the two went out to collect information to see if they could find a job in the mining area.
