Chapter 209: Dark Hour (1)
When the sky is getting dark, and some wind blows on the top of the cloud bridge more than 1,000 meters high, it already feels cold.
Watching the sun in the sky dim little by little, Li Lingqi couldn't help but wonder if the people before his rebirth were also looking at the sun that represented hope.
Unlike the sun on the earth, the sun in the Ancient Heavenly Court was always high in the sky.
It's like a light bulb that is running out of power, stingily retracting its own light.
Sitting in the cold wind, Li Lingqi looked at the sky, the earth, and the east area in front of the hall with a little hollowness in his eyes.
Suddenly, it occurred to him in his mind that maybe what Ling Jueding could see was just like him at this moment, and it was endless darkness gradually devouring the bright light.
The emergence of this idea made Li Lingqi's eyebrows unconsciously stained with a little sadness, but Ling Qianhan, who didn't know when he woke up, happened to see it, and asked in a very hoarse-sounding voice:
"What do you think?"
As he spoke, Ling Qianhan had already stood up against the wind and stretched out to the sun, which still had a hint of afterglow.
Looking at Ling Qianhan's back, perhaps out of trust in her in the future, the inexplicable sorrow in Li Lingqi's heart dissipated a lot.
Got up and walked to Ling Qianhan's side, looking at the sun with only a thin circle of light left, Li Lingqi shook his head and said:
"Didn't think about anything. When are we leaving?"
With Li Lingqi's words, the last ray of light in the sky also dissipated, and the entire top of the cloud bridge fell into darkness.
In this darkness, Li Lingqi saw that Ling Qianhan's slightly angular side face seemed to tremble a little, but the other party's sonorous words came from his ears:
"Let's go now!"
......
After leaving from the Cloud Bridge Holy Land, the two of them easily drove the cloud car and flew away from the east area in front of the palace.
In this process, just as they were in the Nantianmen, they were not hindered in the slightest, and they didn't even notice that the east area in front of the hall at this moment was already a little different from when they came.
In order to hide people's eyes, when leaving the east area of the palace, the two of them did not activate the mecha to walk through the buildings in the east area of the palace unscrupulously, but waited until they left the east area of the palace for several kilometers, and then parked the cloud car, which was much slower and more eye-catching than the mecha, in a remote place relatively far from the main road.
When he stopped the cloud car, Ling Qianhan had already activated his portable mecha.
The mecha she piloted was the same as the one she had transformed into in the black market in Dianxi New Town, a black mecha similar in appearance to the Hurricane series but with much smoother lines overall.
This form is not only conducive to giving full play to her existing tactical habits, but also maximizing her strength at the moment, which can be regarded as a decent choice.
However, Li Lingqi waited until he was down-to-earth before he began to activate the portable mecha that Donghai Heavy Industries had temporarily prepared for him.
With a "clang", Ling Qianhan, who was holding the coconut fruit Yun sucked in Li Lingqi's bag by not knowing when she didn't know when, jumped out of the cloud car.
Since there was no cover for the mecha shell, it could be clearly seen that her eyes were staring at Li Lingqi with interest.
I saw that at this time, Li Lingqi was saying to the void with some middle two words:
"Load a preset pattern of shape changes. ”
As he spoke, a pop-up window appeared in the light screen projected by the individual exoskeleton armor in front of his eyes, and at the same time, a cold mechanical female voice came into his ears.
"Identification information is confirmed. The drawing is loaded. Do you want to activate the mech immediately for debugging?"
"Confirm activation!"
Li Lingqi stared at the pop-up window in front of him silently, and as his brainwave was sensed and transmitted to the system by the brainwave instrument, the pop-up window in front of him quietly disappeared, and the individual exoskeleton armor he was equipped with began to gradually undergo earth-shaking changes.
I saw that one by one derivative structures extended from different positions of the exoskeleton armor around him, different from Ling Qianhan and the others who formed a mecha whole like flowing water, at this moment, Li Lingqi's body seemed to have undergone abnormal changes, and various irregularly shaped scaffolding structure modules were constantly emerging.
With the emergence of these structural modules of different shapes, Li Lingqi's figure was gradually raised, and these more and more structural units began to be integrated and reorganized.
The structural units are linked to each other into components representing different functions, such as support modules or armor modules, and these components are rapidly changing and adjusting with the formation of other internal modules.
At this time, Li Lingqi's appearance when he activated the mecha was somewhat similar to the appearance of the transformers when they changed their form, only to see a group of parts transforming and reorganizing around his body, gradually forming a humanoid behemoth.
It's not that Li Lingqi has any special habits for the series of movies decades ago, but that this is the first time he has piloted a mecha in the real sense since he was reborn, or at such a special and critical juncture, so in order to ensure his own combat effectiveness, Li Lingqi has adopted a relatively special driving method.
This driving style is somewhat similar to the early assumptions and practices of large mechas, but in terms of size, it has been optimized for adaptability.
In layman's terms, Li Lingqi did not adopt the current general architecture mode of cockpit and energy circulation to drive the mecha to act, but used the plasticity of the portable mecha to artificially divide it into two parts, inside and outside, and simulated the driving form of large-scale mobile equipment.
The exterior of the mecha is naturally the mecha shell that looks like a transformer, and even the different modules that drive the mecha shell and many weapons and equipment.
Inside the mecha is a mecha motion platform that connects all links as the driving source and control center.
Li Lingqi's state at the moment looked as if he was driving a small mecha to drive the entire big mecha to act.
In fact, both this small mecha and the large mecha are formed by the low-configuration portable mecha provided by Tokai Heavy Industries.
There is no doubt that compared to the normal portable mecha form, the current style is greatly weakened in terms of armor protection due to the scarcity of materials per unit area.
Even due to indirect control, the overall flexibility and even convenience of the mecha will be far inferior to that of a normal portable mecha.
However, Rao has so many shortcomings, and this special driving method is still very practical for Li Lingqi today.
Because this mode of using mecha to drive mecha can largely make up for Li Lingqi's lack of personal physical fitness.
Of course, that's a bit inaccurate.
In fact, in this way, only the output of Li Lingqi's strength and speed when driving the mecha is improved, and the mecha's ability to resist blows and even the reaction force generated when the mecha is injured is more than normal.
This also means that Li Lingqi can deal more damage when the mecha is out, and he must withstand a lower danger threshold when he is impacted.
After all, the support structure connecting the inside and outside is not as stable as the overall structure, and the protection ability of the inner mecha for Li Lingqi itself is also much lower than that of the normal mecha cockpit.
However, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, Li Lingqi at this moment was able to exert a strength that was much stronger than Ling Qianhan.
Because even a low-end portable mecha can't hide the essence of its portable mecha, which means that the material ceiling of this non-standard equipment temporarily exclusive to national-level mobile suits is extremely high.
Therefore, in fact, neither Li Lingqi nor Ling Qianhan currently has enough strength to drive it to exert its strongest power.
It's just that Ling Qianhan's physical fitness is much stronger than Li Lingqi's, so the reaction force that he can withstand is greater, and he can give full play to some of the performance of the mecha.
However, the gap between the two is much smaller than the difference between Ling Qianhan and the material of the mecha itself.
Therefore, through this special architecture, Li Lingqi, who can barely exert the normal output performance of the mecha, is naturally much stronger than Ling Qianhan, who is also driving the mecha.
As for why Ling Qianhan didn't use this special driving mode, it was naturally because there was still a big difference between the two driving methods, and rashly driving would only be counterproductive.
And Ling Qianhan didn't ask too much when he saw Li Lingqi transforming the mecha into this form.
After all, she had also heard a little about the performance of the other party in the third round, so at this moment, Ling Qianhan also chose to unconditionally believe in Li Lingqi's judgment of his own mecha ability.
Speaking of which, Li Lingqi is also the first time to try to drive a portable mecha in this way.
After all, when he was eligible to get a portable mecha, it was already many years after practicing aerobics, and he could barely meet the requirements of the improved portable mecha at that time.
For those who meet the standards, Li Lingqi's driving mode at this moment is cocooning himself.
In the past few days, during the night break, Li Lingqi has been silently debugging the relevant parameters, and the portable mecha is a kind of mecha that can be adjusted with brainwaves, so the actual debugging process did not take too much time for the two of them.
After only slightly adjusting and changing some details and getting a general understanding of the overall situation of the mecha, Li Lingqi and Ling Qianhan signaled that they had completed the debugging and could set off at any time.
When Ling Qianhan saw Li Lingqi signaling to him, he suddenly sucked the remaining juice in the coconut fruit into his mouth, and while swallowing it in one gulp, he threw the remaining coconut shell out of a perfect arc and into the distance.
Just listened to the sound of "biu", and before the coconut shell hit the ground, a very low-brightness energy bomb had already covered it, making it completely turn into a cloud of ashes.
Controlling the portable mecha to restore the armor shell of his face and even the cockpit to his original state, Ling Qianhan "cooed" in the communication channel, but while eating some small pieces of pulp that slipped off with the juice, he took the lead and ran in the direction of Nantianmen.
Listening to the sound coming from the communication channel, Li Lingqi didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to drive the mecha with his head down and follow behind Ling Qianhan.
After really getting close to Ling Qianhan, Li Lingqi found that the other party didn't seem to be as cold as she usually showed, and even sometimes he felt that the other party was not as cautious and exhaustive as he imagined.
For example, at this moment, there is still a mood to eat coconut fruit, which is unimaginable even for a person like Li Lingqi who has no tactical literacy, but Ling Qianhan did it unscrupulously.
Maybe it's the only kind of mentality that can keep going in the darkest years, right?
Li Lingqi thought about it, but he felt that there was nothing to do with the two.
......
said to be running, but in fact, the two were in a semi-low-altitude flight state.
This height is not high, low or low, and it is a height that can be achieved in a short period of time by both the two of them, whether they are landing or lifting.
After about an hour or two, the two of them could already see the location of the Nantianmen in the distance.
Out of concealment, neither of them turned on the mecha's own light source, but turned on the mecha's optical stealth device.
Since there was no moon, it was extremely dark in this uninhabited wilderness.
In addition, Nantianmen is not a place where everyone has permission to go, so along the way, in addition to the sound of each other's breathing in the communication channel, the two of them were only accompanied by the whistling wind from the outside world.
Out of prudence, neither of them had the heart to chat along the way, and Ling Qianhan, as the trail opener, was as accurate as a textbook in terms of the choice of route and the survey feedback on the surrounding situation.
This made Li Lingqi naturally unconsciously become a little slack in the long dark march, until Ling Qianhan, who was marching in front of him, suddenly stopped his pace of progress.
At this time, the two of them were only a dozen kilometers away from the South Heavenly Gate, and given the huge size of the South Heavenly Gate, they could already clearly see its mountain-like portal form.
The Nantianmen at night is no different from the daytime, if there is anything unusual, it seems to be a huge luminous body itself, even in this inky darkness, it is like a lighthouse illuminating a large area, and even the side more than ten kilometers away is not as dark as before.
It was also because of the existence of these rays of light that Ling Qianhan seemed to sense some special circumstances, so her figure happened to stop at a dividing line between whether she could perceive the change of light or not.
The notion of whether or not changes in light can be detected is not whether it can be recognized by the naked eye, but whether it can reach the benchmark value of optical stealth.
Below the standard value, it is usually judged to be visually dark, so there is no need for additional simulation programs such as fill lighting.
Above the benchmark value, the optical stealth device needs to be fully activated to achieve a better stealth effect.
It's just that as I said before, normally speaking, the optical stealth device carried by the mecha has great limitations, and only special mechas, such as the Phantom series, can achieve relatively good dynamic optical stealth under the premise of sacrificing performance or combat ability.
This means that when the two cross this dividing line, there is a risk that people will perceive.
However, the two of them have long analyzed whether there is a light source near Nantianmen.
The result was a ninety-nine percent probability that there was a light source near the South Heavenly Gate, so it was conceivable that the reason for Ling Qianhan to pause here was by no means simply the possibility of exposing his whereabouts.
Sure enough, Ling Qianhan's voice came out of the communication channel,
"Li Lingqi, do you feel that the wind around you seems to be a little different from before?"
