"Countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...... Ignition! ”

"Whew~"

Accompanied by a huge smoke.

A super-large rocket with a length of tens of meters slowly rose into the air.

The surroundings of Avalon, including the ship girl and the knights, all saw this scene that changed history.

The huge rocket that soared straight into the blue world, the extra-long flames that erupted from its tail, and the thick smoke that filled behind the flames, everything was so similar to the scene when the shipwives fired the hunting missiles.

But the two are so incompatible.

The magical picture made Avalon's sisters have to imagine.

Imagine if such a superrocket was loaded not with a space satellite, but with a combat warhead filled with explosives......

Watching the launch vehicle leave the ground and eventually disappear into the sky, Tilbitz was drawn out of the room by the huge movement, and couldn't help but feel creepy.

In Beizhai's memory, she was sunk by a five-ton tall cabinet in the past.

Compared to the cabinet bomb, the launch vehicle is a little bigger than half a day.

It's five tons.

Now that's more than fifty tons, right?

"Really...... Heaven up. Lexington covered his mouth in surprise.

"Rushing out of the atmosphere is only the first stage, and whether it succeeds or not depends on whether there will be accidents in the future." The Admiral's face is rare in seriousness.

In Koji's original world, there are countless artificial satellites scattered outside of space.

These satellites serve different purposes.

Early satellites had a relatively simple function.

Communication satellites can only play the role of communications.

Everyone understands the truth, in the era when there were no satellites, the telephone was first called to the communication station, and then the communication station was directed to the person you wanted to contact.

This method has a narrow effective scope, and at the same time, it is limited by the terrain and is difficult to bear the demand.

There are two ways to solve it.

The first is to make the communication station more powerful.

The second is to make the position of the communication station higher, and the energy can radiate farther.

And the height ......

No matter how much you toss in the atmosphere, can you reach the height of outer space?

Of course, no, so launching a communication station into space orbit is the most ideal geographical condition.

Well.

To put it bluntly, satellites have a high advantage.

Whether it is a communication satellite or a monitoring satellite, the function of the satellite is not actually divorced from the development of science and technology on land.

Just as you can see more from a different angle, when you see more than you can't see, when you raise the altitude beyond the atmosphere, it becomes a breakthrough in quality.

It turns out that it is very difficult to send a carrier rocket to space orbit in the early days of the emergence of satellites in the world, and the key point is not that you can launch the rocket out of space, but how to send the satellite to the right height where it should go.

First and foremost, two points.

You have to know the thickness of the atmosphere.

After that, you have to be clear about the balance of the gravitational coefficients.

A little higher, the satellite will slowly break away from the planet's gravity, deorbit and become cosmic junk.

If it is a little lower, the satellite will also hold on to the gravitational effect of the planet and slowly pull back, and eventually fall and crash.

The satellite itself is actually very simple, the communication satellite is the signal relay station, and the reconnaissance satellite is a huge telescope (but in fact, the technical difficulty required to manufacture the satellite is still very high, especially the modern satellite needs the guarantee of cutting-edge technology).

Koji was able to restore it to a satellite a long time ago.

Ever since he got Queen Elizabeth's attention at the academy stage, the Admiral has been thinking about the construction of the satellite.

Since the establishment of the weapon research and development center on the Aitude hull, it has not relaxed its progress in this regard.

After more than a year of calculations, Koji also knows a little about various data of Azure Star.

To succeed or not to ......

Just look at the first launch vehicle that rushed into the sky at this moment.

The launch vehicle was launched with a loud noise, of course, not too far away, and you won't hear much outside of Avalon.

In addition to the noise, the most obvious thing is naturally the gas produced by the rocket boost burning a large amount of fuel during the launch of the satellite, that is, the rocket wake, which streaks diagonally across the entire sky.

You can see it clearly even from hundreds of kilometers away.

It's not just launch vehicles that can do this, sometimes large passenger planes can condense into cold clouds because of supersonic flight, forming a white trajectory across the sky for a long time.

However, here is the Azure Star.

A relatively backward technology but a magical world of ship girls.

The tremendous movement of Avalon's launch vehicle was heard far and wide across the vast sea.

"Lord Admiral, is the contact from Miss Camelia from the Twin Star Town Guardian ......Mansions connected?" the Knight King of Avalon's main control program suddenly sounded.

"Plug it in." I thought to myself, and the Admiral seemed to have guessed something.

"Yes, it's in transit......" said the Dumb Hair King.

"Junior brother?" Senpai's voice.

"Well, it's me, is there something wrong with my senior sister calling at this time?" Can you find it that far away?

"I said, junior brother, you won't encounter any deep-sea fleet Qihime-class enemies, right?" Camelia asked nervously on the phone.

"Uh...... Why do you ask? "Lord Admiral, the second monk, can't touch his head, and he doesn't follow the head of the senior sister.

"I can see the movement above Avalon, junior brother, how big a fly are you launching, oh yes, it's a missile, you don't want to say it's fun, right?"

Koji suddenly realized.

Avalon is currently hunting missiles...... In fact, it is a guided missile.

Azure Star has really seen the Blue Sea Mist Fleet, hunting and killing missiles, and only a few people have destroyed the enemy.

Admiral Amanda is counted as one, and Admiral Ou Huangfu and Admiral Sharona can only be counted as half, but Senior Sister Camillia has seen the operation process of hunting missiles several times and has also understood the principle of this new era of military weapons.

It is estimated that in the eyes of the senior sister, this cylinder spraying flames is the means of attack.

The Blue Sea Mist Fleet still uses a projectile body that is only a few meters long, and the launch vehicle that Avalon is now launching is a full tens of meters in size.

If you really use it as a weapon, you don't need to load a bomb, and if you plant it headlong, you can use it as a spear to pierce the hull of any battleship.

"Senior sister, you are not optimistic about the deep-sea fleet, what are you doing all the time staring at my family." Lord Admiral Khan said.

"You think I want to."

The senior sister said that she was also very helpless.

"Just now my ship's wife told me that Avalon was on fire, and as soon as I looked up, I saw the smoke trail and asked Elle and she said it was a rocket...... What is Rocket? ”

"Rocket, senior sister, you can just think of it as a missile that has been magnified dozens of times."

"So it's really a weapon?"

"So to speak."

Missiles, rockets, the two are inherently the same.

ICBMs are actually crude products of rockets and missiles.

Having learned about the hunting bombs equipped by the ships of the Blue Sea Mist Fleet, I think Camilia can understand the operation of this attack method.

On the phone, a senior sister gasped.

It is because he understands that she knows the consequences.

A super missile that can see the launch trajectory from hundreds of kilometers away......

Of course, what the senior sister saw could not be the process of rocket launching, but the traces left in the sky after the rocket was lifted off.

But anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that what looks like a short trail of smoke in the sky can actually be so long that it can be so long that you will be stunned.

"Damn, junior, where did you get this weapon, it can hit my Gemini, right?"

"With a little modification, it's not impossible to directly attack Senpai's Gemini from Avalon soil."

"I ...... I...... It's a poi! ”

The senior sister wanted to hit someone when she heard it.

Avalon and Gemini are separated by hundreds of kilometers from the sea.

No matter how tall the people on both sides stand, they don't want to see the people or things on the other island.

Even the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier Niang should not want to attack the fleets of both sides from the advantage of fighting outside the line of sight.

Now Koji tells her that he can attack her twin directly from Avalon, and that the trail in the sky is the most convincing evidence.

MMP！

Are you the town guard or Lu Ji?

No, even if the deep sea Lu Ji came, it wasn't so terrifying.

"Haha, okay, don't scare you, this is a launch vehicle, not an intercontinental missile, it's not a weapon." Lord Admiral said.

"Carry...... Rocket? ”

"Well, the launch vehicle, it's used to send things to the sky, I can't afford to use it as a weapon."

Since the establishment of the throne plan, King Avalon has only consumed tens of thousands of resources, but it has cost hundreds of thousands of units just to send her younger brother to heaven.

If this launch operation fails, Avalon will really not be able to build another launch vehicle in the short term, and a few resource points in Avalon after the defensive battle can only meet the daily consumption needs of the Blue Sea Mist fleet.

In other words:

Avalon is now so poor that he can't even afford to fight.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Truth Nai go to Amanda's side and just watch the show.

"If I hadn't been able to leave now...... Sister Camillia said fiercely on the phone.

What she meant was that if she hadn't really been able to leave, she would have had to be in Avalon.

……

"Commander Camelia's call?" Lexington Road.

"Well, the movement is a bit loud for her to see." Koji said helplessly.

Lexington looked up at the traces that were slowly dissipating in the air, and couldn't help but pout a little.

A certain admiral didn't say much about this scene, but for the ship's girls, this was not a magical picture they had never imagined in the past.

"Young Master, since the Twin Star Town Guards can see the rocket take off, is it possible that the deep sea will also find it?" The maid chief said with a worried expression.

The Admiral and the Secretary were slightly stunned.

It's a possibility.

In Koji, it turns out that rocket launches in the world are already commonplace.

Moreover, rocket technology has changed through the ages, and it has become safer and more concealable.

Coupled with the fact that the launch center is basically located in the inland uninhabited area, and the discovery and use of new fuels, you often don't even notice the rocket launch.

But Avalon is not the original world after all, and Koji is not using the high-end top technology that came later, not to mention that Avalon can be said to be exposed to the sight of the deep-sea fleet.

Out of Avalon, you don't have to go far to the Black Sea of the Deep Sea Fleet.

Even Gemini hundreds of kilometers away can see the traces of the rocket after launch, and it is difficult to ensure that no one on the deep side of the sea can find it.

This is not talking about the ordinary deep sea, but the intelligent deep sea dwelling in the deep sea fleet, in a sense, they are not much different from humans.

Distance from Avalon to Gemini Town......

You put these hundreds of kilometers in the direction of Avalon and the northern seas.

That's straight from the base camp of the Deep Sea Fleet in Avalon and the northern seas.

"Damn, I forgot that there are living people on the other side of the deep sea." The Admiral slapped his head.

Far away, as soon as the launch vehicle flew like this, the black Prince of Wales, which was already operating in the depths of the cursed sea, might have noticed Avalon's side.

"Giggle......

Lexington smiled and looked at the Admiral in annoyance.

"Actually, Darling doesn't have to worry too much about the deep sea, don't forget that this is the northern sea." Mrs. said.

"Indeed!" The head maid had an approving expression.

"......" Koji was at a loss.

Of course, he knew that this was the Northern Sea.

But does this have anything to do with whether Avalon will go into the deep sea to focus on the target?

"Speaking of which, I haven't figured out a question yet......" Another strong sense of déjà vu made Koji even more curious about a suspicion.

"From what I have learned, it seems that everyone is saying that the Northern Theater is very special, and the most direct evidence is that the other three Theaters have been fighting for life and death in the deep sea, but the Northern Theater is a little too calm." Lord Admiral said.

"At first, I didn't think much about it, but then I thought it was because the European Emperor's Mansion was in the northern sea."

"But after going to the Ou Huang Mansion, I found that the truth is not what I think, even the Ou Huang Mansion has a casual attitude on the issue of the Northern Theater of Operations, and the deep sea at the door of the house should not be seen at all......"

That's how strange the Northern Theater of Operations is.

It's not just the European Imperial Mansion and the Northern Governor's Mansion that don't care about things.

Even the deep-sea fleet and admirals below have a negative attitude.

I ran out of bounds, well, I was beaten, then I'll run back.

You've crossed the line, I'll call someone to beat you!

That's it.

This is not to say that there really is no war between the Northern Theater and the deep-sea fleet.

Yes, to put it mildly, it happens every day.

But the meaning is completely different.

There were only skirmishes in the Northern Theater of Operations.

As mentioned above, they are all small contradictions that come and go.

The other three theaters of war are battles in which the deep-sea fleet gathers a large-scale invasion and then the humans push back.

This has hardly happened in the Northern Theater, even the largest conflict in decades...... Until now, it can only be said that the deep sea and human beings do not give in to each other.

Lexington and Prestige looked at each other and smiled goodbye.

The performance of the two ship girls made the Admiral even more understandable and curious.

"Could it be that there is any setting that I can't grow enough now, and I can only know when I become stronger in the future?" The Admiral asked.

"No, the affairs of the Northern Sea may be a secret to others, but there is no need to keep it secret from you to Darling, including the entire European Imperial Palace." The wife laughed.

"Huh? So how come I've never heard you talk about it? ”

"Because Darling never asked."

"I ......"

Be an obedient and good boy, I can't be wrong!

"Since Darling wants to know, then Yu will tell Darling everything Yu knows......"
