Lu Wu stood on the highest platform in Nice City, looking thoughtfully at the giant in the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the shell of this aerial beast appears mutilated (and in some places even tattered), revealing an indescribable pain and exhaustion, it still has a natural sense of intimidation towards the creatures on the ground.

A wounded and tired lion is still a lion, and an ant in good condition is still an ant.

Such a floating fortress, which was basically paralyzed by various systems and could only be called an empty shell, easily defeated a fairly large ground force. And this is not an ordinary third-rate army, it should be considered an elite division, in addition to having some uncommon sophisticated equipment.

No, this shouldn't be considered a "defeat", because it is not a symmetrical battle at all. Even fools can see that this was a one-sided massacre. In fact, as soon as the floating fortress appeared, Grumas's soldiers immediately shook the whole army. With the exception of a very few brave or fools, everyone else chose to retreat. Because everyone understands that they are losing when they see the Floating Fortress. Some of them even fled as soon as they confirmed the floating fortress, and they didn't even have the courage to retreat after a little fighting.

The combat power of this world is not gradually increasing like the series of equal differences.

In the past, Lu Wu has always had a vague doubt, the scientific and technological level of this world is quite high, but if the regular armies of the two worlds are allowed to engage in a head-on battle, without involving the premise of warlocks, and without dispatching flying machines, Lu Wu feels that the earthlings will not lose.

It's not just that you won't lose, but if you really fight, you might win by a big margin.

Although there are countless different types of weapons on the earth, in the final analysis, the core of most weapons is gunpowder and gas. Projectiles are fired by gunpowder gas – this has been the case since the Middle Ages, but not much has changed to this day.

But this simple principle has been played countless tricks by the earthlings. Rifles, light artillery, heavy artillery, rocket artillery, short-range missiles, medium-range missiles, intercontinental missiles, and other common equipment are enough to form a long, medium, and all-round attack system.

In fact, there is no need to work for all kinds of missiles to go out, maybe artillery alone can knock down the world's army. Modern artillery (including rocket artillery) can range from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers, and can easily carpet the entire land, producing a devastating effect.

The most common weapon in this world, that is, the electromagnetic cannon, although the theoretical range is extremely large, is fired in a straight line, which is limited by the range of human vision. In the face of the earth's artillery fire, this weapon is almost useless, except for being beaten, it is still beaten.

Even if long-range cannon fodder is not taken into account, the two sides will fight directly at a relatively close range, and this will not change. Exoskeleton armor - which, to be honest, is structurally impossible to compete with tanks in terms of armor and firepower - must be massed in vastly superior numbers to deal with all types of armored vehicles on Earth.

But in terms of technology, it is completely reversed. Not to mention anything else, the electromagnetic cannon of this world is a high-end weapon that has not yet been fully promoted on the earth. The electromagnetic cannon has countless benefits such as large thrust, long range, good stability, strong concealment, etc., even Lu Wu knows that because the projectile receives very uniform electromagnetic force in the barrel, the projectile is born with the advantage of good stability and high hitting accuracy. Conversely, gunpowder weapons also rely on rifling to achieve rotation to improve stability.

This is like the internal combustion engine and the steam engine, the former has an inherent advantage over the latter.

Could it be that the people of this world are particularly stupid and do not know how to fight? Or are the warlocks deliberately suppressing the development of science and technology, and as a result, all kinds of high-tech weapons and equipment have been forced into deformities?

But if you say that, it's not like that. The world is in a civil war, and war is the most powerful way to promote the development of equipment. In addition, warlocks have the ability to travel through other worlds, whether they are amber or masters, it is said that warlocks have brought back countless scientific and technological achievements from other worlds. Such a world, of course, has a wide field of vision (Lu Wu doesn't think that the earth is the unique and most awesome one), how can it be blocked by the last layer of window paper?

This is a rather puzzling question.

However, now Lu Wu has completely understood -- it is not that there is anything wrong with the development of weapons in this world, but that this world does not have the three armed forces of the navy, land and air force that Lu Wu imagined at all. There is only one kind of army in this world, and that is the Air Force. The other two, the army and navy (if any), were vassals of the first type of army.

Because there is a fundamental difference between this world and the earth, and that is the resonance stone. An ore that naturally has anti-gravity properties.

On Earth, on those huge, modern warships, most of the sailors were bare-handed and unarmed. Does anyone care about that? No. True, it may be useful for sailors to carry weapons in some extremely special conditions, no one can deny this. But in the vast majority of conditions (certainly more than 99 percent), whether a sailor has a gun or not does not affect the outcome at all. Guns are a burden for sailors.

It is true that the ground forces of this world are poorly equipped, especially lacking long-range firepower like artillery missiles on Earth. But does it matter? No, not at all. True, with the level of technology in this world, it is easy to equip the army with long-range artillery, but it is not necessary. Because whether the infantry has a ranged weapon or not, it will not affect the victory or defeat at all.

A dilapidated floating fortress that even "big break" is not enough to describe can easily disperse an army of tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands.

In other words, the so-called war has never relied on the ground combat units to win. No matter how good it is, it doesn't work. When the battle between the floating fortresses is decided, the infantry of the losing side is the scum, the live target.

Is there any point in facing such a mechanical giant, long-range artillery fire or something?

Analogly, it's naval battles on Earth. Giant ships are the kings who dominate the battlefield, and as for those lifeboat-level things, who cares about their weapons and equipment?

That's why weapons that can be easily conceived and manufactured, such as mines and mortars, can become "new weapons" in this world, because there are simply no people who spend their energy on the equipment of the infantry.

Lu Wu only now realized what Hongyi and Ivan had thought at the beginning. At the beginning, the two natives made it clear that even for a tenth chance to get a floating fortress, it was worth a dangerous adventure for the entire legion. Lu Wu originally thought that this should be just an exaggeration, but now he understands that it is not an exaggeration at all.

"Lu Wu!" A voice sounded beside him, and Lu Wu realized that Amber had come here.

"It's been really hard this time. Lu Wu said. In fact, the whole city of Nice last night was not the point, the focus was on the floating fortress outside the city. Of course, Lu Wu didn't know the role that Yin played in it, and how Ivan persuaded Yin to do so. He just felt that since Yin himself was out of the way, a simple maintenance worker, then he would not refuse this request. After all, in principle, the quality of the Floating Fortress has nothing to do with Yin, let alone scrap, even if it explodes, as long as it doesn't blow up to Yin, then it's none of his business.

So the real key is not to ask for the Floating Fortress to rise into the air, but to fix the crack so that it doesn't take long for the Floating Fortress to fall from the sky. Of course, this is not possible under normal circumstances. Unless, as Yin said before, let hundreds of high-level warlocks come over together and use powerful magic to forcibly fuse the cracks inside.

But there is one exception in this world, and that is amber. Don't look at Amber because of other people's conspiracy, most of the magic power has been lost, and now he can only wait for the opportunity. But in this state, she unexpectedly has the ability to convert other forms of energy (that is, electricity) into magic because of Holoera.

In other words, although she lost the explosive ability of her magical power, she gained almost infinite recovery ability. If you want to say that the battle will naturally suffer, but if you want to talk about this kind of repair, she can top hundreds and thousands of warlocks alone. Sometimes it's really unclear whether amber is a profit or a loss in this case.

"A little thing. Amber looked at Lu Wu. "Last night...... Pretty dangerous, right?"

"Well, it's dangerous, but it's also exciting. Lu Wu recalled the events of last night.

"So you ...... now Is it appropriate to stand here?" Amber asked softly.

"Both Ivan and Hongyi advised me not to come forward," Lu Wu replied. "Leave the rest to Aki. She was born into a nobleman and was the Inspector of the Legion, so she was the most suitable person to clean up the spoils of war and maintain order. He suddenly remembered Grumas's last gesture: lying on the ground with his limbs spread out, his back facing the sky, a black-red liquid flowing from under him and running along the ground.

Although he would not regret killing Lu Wuyi, that scene made people palpitate for some reason.

If I lost, would it be the same result?, no, he put the thought aside for a moment, and reached out to wrap his arms around Amber's waist. It's a pity that Amber is only a spirit now, and this thought suddenly popped into his mind.

But right away, he didn't have time to think about it. Because his terminal beeps and someone wants to contact him.

At this time, who will take the initiative to contact him? Is it the Red Clothes and Ivan on the Floating Fortress? Or is it Aki who is dealing with many post-war matters? Do they have any questions for advice?

Lu Wu opened the terminal, and then was surprised to find that it was an unfamiliar contact. Then he heard a voice that shouldn't have been heard.

It's Colonel Doyle.

……

Aqi stood next to Grummas's corpse. Yes, even though it was still morning, it was already a dead corpse that could not die again. She sighed lightly and filmed the death scene with her own terminal.
