12. Meeting, Dance Party (44)
Albiang's new large cruise ship "Britannia".
In order to meet the needs of trade and personnel exchanges between the colony and the mainland, or more bluntly, to snatch back the blue streamer, which symbolizes the fastest and best ship, from the Zeppelin, one of the four Olympic-class super floating cruise ships built with a lot of money.
The appearance of the Zeppelin is tantamount to a slap in the face to the people of Albion, who consider themselves to be leading the trend of shipbuilding technology in the world. While the silver-white behemoth took to the skies to show its pride, overnight, all passenger liners were reduced to a synonym of dilpation and obsolescence. This backwardness is not only reflected in luxury goods and entertainment facilities, but also in technology.
No matter what conservatives may criticize for an adventure that uses a lot of new technology, no one can ignore the Zeppelin's excellent performance indicators such as load, speed, and ceiling. Out of national pride and realistic technical needs, Albion tried to build its own super-large cruise ship. However, it was the first time to try this kind of super project, and there was a lack of relevant technology and experience, so we asked V.E for technical support. During the construction process, V.E's technicians were directly involved in the design, supervision, acceptance and other work, and the steel and power parts of the hull were directly imported from V.E. Privately, the shipbuilders gave the ships the nickname "V.E. Nick".
Because the company refused to transfer key technologies in the name of commercial patents, and imposed many restrictions on the construction process. The people of Albiang have not been able to learn the core technology, nor have they been able to master the full set of production management system. But I did learn a little bit of the surface. And it has four more luxury floating cruise ships that are comparable to the Zeppelin in some aspects.
"To be honest, because it was four sister ships, I was going to build yì Albion and name them 'Kongo', 'Kirishima', 'Hira', and 'Haruna'. In this way, it will feel more feminine, and when a large caliber cannonball is fired with various thick and long tubes to make holes in the hull of a beautiful woman, it will be able to fully reflect the 'romance of a man'. Well, though I don't know exactly what that means. ”
Taking off his cap, the cold wind pouring in from the porthole ruffled his black hair, and his bright red pupils looked at the horizon in the distance.
From here, you can only vaguely distinguish the small spire, with human eyesight. Even if it is strengthened with telemedicine. I can't grasp what happened there, but—
"In the end, I found Lance sauce, oops, Walsingham is really bad-hearted. Pretend to pose as a helpless gesture. Behind the scenes, he secretly sent people to follow and monitor. It's a wishful thinking to pick up a bargain. ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Li Lin said with a wry smile.
"It's nerve-wracking, everyone is so low-key. I don't have any intention of cooperating honestly. Besides, there is such a thing as a fortress prison, which should have been broken through by the means of traditional siege warfare. ”
No matter how strong the protective equipment is, as long as it is given to withstand physical impact above the limit, it will definitely be breached.
That's right, just like the soldiers of old, use battering rams to break gates, destroy walls, break fences, cross moats, and storm enemy cities.
At this moment, there was also a battering ram at Li Lin's feet on standby.
A group of Manticol skimmed in front of the bow of the ship, and the nearby guard boats also sped up, and the sluggish garrison seemed to finally notice that the cruise ship was off course and was speeding over, and was hurrying to warn.
"The load is all concentrated in the aft compartment, the bow is erected, and both sides are at full speed. ”
The command echoed in the cabin, and there was no response or repetition, the hull of the ship trembled, the bow of the ship gradually raised like an enraged snake, and the strange scenery in the command cabin of the bridge was exposed to the sunlight as the angle of light entered.
There were no human beings in the cabin, and the nerves or vascular networks all over the cabin were tentacles as pink as baby skin, and these disgusting alien objects wriggled while connecting human hands and feet to steer the ship on behalf of the crew.
Biological weapons.
A terrifying weapon that infects and manipulates humans on the premise of various precision operations.
Humans infected with the Genesis nanorobotic worm will be read the memory information, and the absolute loyalty to the Genesis mother will be imprinted in the consciousness of the infected, and the part of the personality that contradicts this instruction will be removed, and it usually only takes a few minutes to complete the replacement of the brain's consciousness information. Become an intelligence terminal with a human form that can lurk in society to carry out various commands.
In addition to this, Genesis has another function.
"Please...... Save...... Help me......"
In front of the captain's seat, the "thing" that had once been the owner of the seat reached out towards the dark-haired man, and the captain's body became part of the tentacle network except for the neck and right arm.
This is beyond the scope of medical and biological understanding, and in terms of common sense, this person should have died long ago, even if he was separated from the tentacles, I am afraid that he would die on the spot without his body and organs. But the captain didn't seem to notice this anomaly, and continued to struggle in vain, trying his best to save the captain's heterogeneous existence that resembled a human but was not human.
The second ability of Genesis: cell and tissue replacement function.
In addition to the interference of the spiritual realm, Genesis can also change the nature of the cell, making it a programmable cell, which is controlled by the signal of an electric pulse and replaced with a clump of tissue similar to that of a bacteriophage, which has the function of fusion and assimilation.
In other words, the network of tentacles that pervades the cabin at the moment are the passengers and crew.
Fireballs grazed the side of the ship, and the flying beasts were rapidly approaching, apparently intending to forcibly board the ship to intercept the Brittana.
As far as the field commander is concerned, it is excellent to be able to take action immediately, but there are two problems that make his and his subordinates' efforts meaningless.
The Brittania is no ordinary small ship, and its huge hull will not burn down in a moment or a half, even if it is lit with a few fires. As for sending commandos into the cabins full of genesis, it would be even more unwise.
Connecting the consciousness of the meat ball and increasing the floating-style output, the cruise ship soon threw away the little flies that could not even cause a little trouble, and the Brittania rushed out of the sea of clouds, regained its horizontal attitude at an altitude of 7,000 meters, and sailed at full speed in the direction of the Lundinium Tower.
"The original plan was for Roland and them to find the jewelry, and then with the intervention of the Holy Maiden, everyone signed a disarmament agreement with a friendly attitude, put on a peaceful appearance, and prepare for the next war. But na, the plan always can't catch up with the formality, and it hasn't been solved here, and the United Rus' side has changed again...... Heck, my furry bear friends always love flashes of inspiration, and this time even the cold winds of the far north can't suppress the vodka in their veins. The rookies of the General Staff have not even finished the plans for the 'Barbarossa Plan' and the 'Typhoon Plan'? They know that carrying out the 'Yellow Plan' ahead of schedule will easily cause indigestion, but the current situation is not waiting for anyone. ”
Brunhill, who was far away in Alfheim, sent an urgent telegram last night, and although the content was very brief, it asked Li Lin to overturn all the plans that had been prepared.
An envoy from the United Rus' Principality visited Agen Toratone and waited for a meeting with Li Lin.
If it were an ordinary envoy, then Nidhogg and Brunhill could be sent away, and there was no need for the Archon to drive at all.
But this envoy was different, he was only a baron, rarely seen in front of people, and had hardly been involved in official diplomatic activities before this visit.
The envoy's surname was Dzerzhinsky, nicknamed "Felix of Steel", and there was not a word about the talks.
This alone is enough.
Li Lin could roughly guess what the reason for this notorious gentleman suddenly visited Agen Toraton, and he had prepared in advance, but it was really not the right time to really encounter such an unplanned situation.
Before Yalfheim was fully ready, the situation in the world changed drastically or something, and it was really troublesome.
"Forget it, it's all out, instead of complaining, let's do something useful first, such as-"
The roar of the plane gradually subsided, the cruise ship slowly stopped sailing, and the towers were faintly visible between the gaps in the clouds.
"Igniting wolf smoke for the coming war, pulling the hind legs of humanity or something. ”
With a snap of the fingers, the bow sank, the stern remained motionless, the unfixed objects slipped off one after another, and the noise of debris crashing resounded throughout the ship.
It was not until it was perpendicular to the ground that the hull stopped tilting.
Breaking free from the constraints of gravity, Li Lin still sat firmly on the captain's seat, his bright red pupils printed with a group of towers as large as matchboxes on the ground, and with the twisting movement of the corners of his mouth, the inertial pressure rushed towards him.
"Although it is not possible to reproduce the spectacular scene of the colony falling to Sydney in the past, 16% of the Australian mainland sank into the sea, and a third of the total area was destroyed. But I don't have any colonies or asteroids on my hands, so I can't help it, so I'll just do it. It's also the pride of Albion, so you shouldn't have any opinions. In any case, the power of this blow is higher than that of a passenger plane piloted by a terrorist. ”
200-meter-long cruise ship;
thousands of passengers;
full loads of cargo;
The maximum output of the engine, with gravitational acceleration, the falling speed is 1060 kilometers per hour;
Plus a transcendent species with the appearance of a human teenager.。
Like a giant sword descending from the sky, it fell straight ahead of one of Rundinum's most famous buildings. The defenders who had already arrived over the scene hurriedly opened the barrage of air attacks, and the tower's defensive array was activated. Ignoring the qiē in front of her, the Brittania dragged its burning husk and sped down, and in front of the ship, there was no longer any existence that could be called an "obstacle".
The moment the bow made contact with the barrier, the whole of Londinium trembled, and a strong flash of light illuminated the royal capital of Albion, and the strong light that even the special anti-glare goggles of the pro-guard could not weaken covered the people's field of vision, and a few seconds later, the roar and shock wave stronger than a thousand lightning strikes spread out ripples in all directions.
