Chapter 14 Shelling of the Opposite Shore is the main business of battleships
In the dark waters, in the gaps formed by the extension of the reef, many strange creatures roam here. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info what survives in this tragic and strife-filled environment is that they have special survivability or means of defense, but today they do not hunt and kill as usual.
Comfortable life is always short-lived, and a group of uninvited guests come here and bring them unspeakable dangers.
The beings who can survive in this world full of radiation can more or less perceive the intensity of radiation energy in the outside world. Otherwise, if you are only instinctively moving towards the higher nutrient sea, you will be disturbed by the sudden radiation and even usher in death.
And the sudden existence had a trembling and strong radiation response, and even the former murderous undersea overlords huddled in a safe corner, not daring to move forward to the outside world.
They are not intelligent and will also make an instinctive reaction to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage, and this is the survival wisdom of the weak in the wasteland era.
A young man stood silently at the top of the reef, his eyes fixed on the bottomless cavern not far away, as if thinking about something.
In the network built by the spiritual link, the thoughts of several girls are constantly echoing and colliding, and the teenager, as the manager, can hear and analyze the situation in the cave at this moment. The three girls who had been arranged by Veneto to go into the depths of the cave to locate and place high-energy bombs were doing their light work while laughing and laughing.
Their own strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, and they carry special tools, so they can easily locate the explosives on the crystallized Aojin ore. Such a job was so simple that the teenager, who was nominally in charge of supervision, was in a relaxed state with nothing to do.
This proposal was actually made by the white-haired girl who was standing beside him at the moment. The girl thinks that the Admiral, who was in a coma not long ago, needs to adjust and rest, and most of the tasks are now handled by her quite capable.
But in fact, the state of the teenager at the moment is quite good, and the teenager whose body is gradually getting rid of the cold and stiff is becoming more and more active. He was not averse to such a short rest, and he was still quite curious about some of the changes that had happened to him, and he wanted to confirm a little at this moment.
Thinking of this, the young man adjusted his stance slightly, and used this incomprehensible method to sense his body as it regained its strength. It's an almost instinctive approach brought about by the ship's capabilities, but it's mostly about reconciling and resonating with the ship's equipment, but it's overkill here.
"Huh...... Nothing seems to have changed? "After the young man changed his posture without leaving a trace, he did not notice any abnormalities in his body.
The boy was slightly puzzled, and he didn't seem to have mutated at all when he was hit by the green light. But when he used perceptual probing before, he clearly noticed that something was wrong......
Just when the boy was a little distressed, he suddenly thought of the real change in a flash of inspiration.
When he used perception, he noticed an abnormality, and he subconsciously regarded it as a physical change, but he didn't think that it was a mutation in perception itself.
And this also seems to be commensurate with the reality that green light only affects the spiritual level, and the teenager at this moment does not hesitate to put more spirit into the environment outside the body.
But except for the vague feeling that his mental control is more fluid, and the spiritual power that can be released is a little more, there doesn't seem to be much change.
In fact, this has already satisfied the teenager. It is quite difficult to know the improvement of mental strength, and even today, it is only a relatively superficial way of training and accumulation, but it is difficult to improve it in one leap.
But he always felt that this was not the biggest change that had happened to him, because he could feel that there was more to his than that.
The girl standing next to him didn't know that the boy was in a quandangle, because she still had to take on the work of dealing with it, and most of her mind was invested in the spiritual network.
When Aritus was about to release his spirit to probe outward, he recalled the special way in which he used his spiritual power in his dream, and involuntarily used it, releasing a very subtle spiritual perception. And all this was not found out by the girl next to her.
Originally, Alitus used mental outward release, but only captured the external radiation reaction and roughly painted it as in the real world, which is not much different from observing it with the naked eye.
After releasing the perception today, there has been a strange change. The perception that is a mutant of spiritual power directly replaces the five senses of the teenager, and he observes and feels the world in a more subtle way.
If the reality that can be observed by using eyesight on a daily basis is 10, and the amount obtained by using mental power is 8, then the information that teenagers are now exposed to is dozens of times that of the original. Whether it was its location or temperature, or its vibrations and sounds, or even the nature of its surface, delicate and complicated information instantly flooded into his mind.
It is only today that he has truly observed the world more clearly and realistically, and ultraviolet infrared rays other than visible light can be perceived more clearly. But after such a novel feeling, there is an indescribable sense of loneliness that creeps up in my heart.
Can such a self still be considered a human being? Originally, after inheriting the ability of the ship, he moved towards a more strange route, and now that even his vision has changed, his view of the world may be more novel and more inconsistent with human tradition, right?
The young man who was thinking like this turned his attention to the sea water under his feet, as if he was subconsciously looking for something.
Unlike the previous feelings of using mental power to manipulate water, the information he could feel and access today was much larger and more complex, completely shattering the original vague feelings.
He can also roughly perceive the movement and collision at the microscopic molecular level, and the resulting changes are naturally clearly presented in his mind. It even takes a little mental power to manipulate the changes of water molecules more precisely, colliding with countless molecular streams and changing their properties.
Immediately, the young man also felt that his originally abundant spiritual power had been instantly drawn a lot, which also made him know that there was still some price to be paid for using this ability.
Just as the boy was thinking about what was behind the change, a gentle voice beside him brought him back into the ordinary world.
"Admiral, the ******** of the specified amount has been ambushed in the cave at the predetermined location." Veneto, who was in charge of the command, naturally reported the results of his previous work to the teenager.
The boy seemed to open his eyes from rest, and saw the three Suzuya who had already left the entrance of the cave and headed here, and after waving and smiling at them, he said the next arrangement:
"Let's shift the direction first, and then the processing work should be carried out further away."
Soon the three maidens were standing together with Veneto and Arrites, but it was already more than a kilometer from the entrance of the cave, and everyone was half-floating on the water.
After confirming the previous placement from Suzuya and the others, and after a little consideration, the boy took out a special radio wave exciter from the subspace. A special electronic receiver had been installed in the ********, and Arrites was quick to enter a series of commands into the device.
Before a second had passed, a loud bang suddenly sounded in the otherwise quiet sea. Not far away, a stream of air mixed with countless fine dust particles erupted from the cave, which was a by-product of the detonation of the cave.
But as the smoke cleared, the entrance to the cave reappeared. Even at this distance, several girls could clearly see that the inside of the cave was blocked, but the outside still seemed undamaged.
This was also expected by Aritus. Even with the use of ******** to increase the destructive performance, it is not uncommon for the exterior not to suffer much damage when most of the ambush sites are deep in the cavern.
Of course, Aritus had already arranged for this, and the work of fire suppression and even shelling on the shore was too easy for Veneto, who was the mother of the battleship.
"Artillery shelling of predetermined positions." The boy stared at the hole and gave a simple command, but when he heard this, the three shipwives except Veneto couldn't help but slide backwards for some distance.
Naturally, Suzuya and the others had conducted joint exercises with Veneto, and naturally saw the terrifying power of the battleship's main gun bombardment. Even the muzzle storm generated at the moment of the launch of the ship's guns will have some impact on the human body, and although several people are not afraid, they do not want to waste energy to protect themselves.
"Rest assured, Admiral, it only takes one salvo to solve this mission." The girl said quite confidently, but everyone did not say anything, as if they acquiesced to her statement.
The girl who completely liberated the ship's equipment and concentrated most of her energy on the ship's guns, slowly replaced the energy and ammunition stored in the gun, and analyzed the orientation based on the data obtained from optical calculations.
In fact, at such a close distance, even if it is only corrected in the most superficial way, the predetermined result can be obtained, but the girl at this moment is meticulously performing the original task.
Bumper Bumper! Several discrete noises followed, followed by the roar of the ship's guns that frightened many animals, and the raging fires that spread everywhere.
Seeing the sight of the ruins, where it was difficult to find the original traces, the three girls standing behind looked at Veneto with more awe.
As the capital ship, Veneto's artillery combat ability alone is far stronger than that of several other ships, and a salvo of high-explosive shells almost destroyed this place in half. Such terrifying power and destructive power are difficult for several others to match. And at such a distance, even Anne, who is also a capital ship, cannot surpass her in striking power.
"Whew, Admiral...... The mission was successfully accomplished. After confirming the results of the battle a little, the girl reported to the young man beside her.
"It's okay, at present, it can only be seen from the traces that there is a battle taking place here, and it is too difficult to find useful clues from the ruins." After observing it again, the boy nodded lightly and said in satisfaction.
"It's a pity that those high-quality crystallized ores can only be silent forever in the ground." The young man recalled the special effects of these ores that he had discovered before, and couldn't help but regret it.
Not long ago, after mining ore in the cave, they vaguely discovered that these crystallized ores seemed to have the effect of absorbing and blocking radiation reactions. But even Aritus, whose subspace capacity is quite limited, can only contain the best part of it, and has to abandon it.
"Isn't that instrument that Admiral got in the ruins capable of breaking down raw ore? Can you put it to good use? Veneto suggested with a little recollection.
"At present, the island is only installed with a relatively ordinary tidal power unit, and that instrument needs at least seven times more power to drive it...... the boy explained helplessly.
It is quite uncomfortable to enter the treasure mountain and not be able to get it, and Arrites can guess that these raw ores are estimated to have some special uses, and he can't help but feel a little tempted.
"Let's set off and sail back, today's mission is completely over." Seeing the original site of the cave, which had been completely reduced to ruins, the boy exhaled before he spoke.
The group quickly left the area and returned to the North Island Town Guard Mansion according to the previous safe route. Some reluctant teenagers still keep the coordinates of the islands here in mind, and maybe they can use them again at some point.
………………
"Admiral?" The familiar girl's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, which brought back the young man who was looking at the electronic light screen and didn't know what to think.
"What's wrong?" Aritaus looked at Veneto, who was holding an electronic notebook, and asked casually.
"The Admiral seems a little absent-minded?" Veneto was keenly aware of the abnormality in the boy's state and asked softly with concern.
"Well...... It's a little troublesome......" Aritaus's original perception of being exerted was also withdrawn a little, and he explained with a wry smile.
"Has something changed?" Veneto suddenly remembered that a similar situation seemed to have happened after his last admiral came into contact with the Emerald Shard, and asked with some concern.
Looking at the girl in front of him, who was close to him and already knew a lot of secrets, Arrites did not hide it, and casually informed Veneto of the changes in his spiritual strength.
"The Admiral's mental power swept past me...... I didn't even notice it. "The girl, who also has mental power and can sense radiation fluctuations, can still detect other people's mental fluctuations, but the boy's condition does not seem to be ordinary.
"But there are also downsides...... Now it is a little difficult to control, and involuntarily it will enter a special state of using perception to replace the five senses. The young man said in great distress.
"Hmm...... The Admiral could have been concentrating on exercising for a while recently, and perhaps the discomfort would be eliminated. After thinking about it for a long time, the girl didn't come up with any good advice, so she could only say so.
In her opinion, this perception ability is out of control, just like when she was summoned to use all the power of the ship's equipment smoothly, and Gain's unfamiliarity with this ability will lead to incomplete use.
"Well, that's true...... Maybe I've been working hard for you lately, and I'm going to take some time to go to the ashram for some time. The boy naturally knew a similar truth, and this ability to appear out of thin air did make him a little uncomfortable.
Naturally, there is an ashram in the castle for the construction of the ship's mother, and this kind of ashram was designed by Arritus with some construction designs that can be used for meditation practice, so it is naturally a pretty good place.
"Since the reconstruction work was completed some time ago, there hasn't been much work in the town guard's mansion, and the admiral can rest assured that he can improve his ability." Veneto is still quite optimistic that Aritas can improve his ability, after all, sometimes when encountering unexpected situations, a little more preparation can be less dangerous.
After a brief glance between the boy and the girl, they staggered their gaze slightly and continued to work. The tacit understanding between the two has made it so that there is no need to thank each other for such a trivial matter, and silent actions can prove each other's intentions.
