Chapter 142: The Crisis of Sea Power

River! I was hesitating, and the purple bamboo fairy in my arms suddenly let out a bitter moan.

"Damn, that guy is too unreliable! Won't it take an hour to wake up? It's only been a few minutes, huh? "I cursed Taishang Laojun as I carried the Purple Bamboo Fairy to the Temple of Chaos and Order in Isinger. I borrowed a room from Vena, and then put the purple bamboo fairy on the bed.

Although she was no longer in a deep coma, the Purple Bamboo Fairy just kept humming, sounding like she was having a nightmare, but she just didn't wake up. However, although she didn't recover immediately, Taishang Laojun's words were still inaccurate, because it was only more than half an hour since the Zizhu Fairy was knocked unconscious, and she suddenly sat up from the bed, a full hour and a half earlier than Taishang Laojun's expectation.

"No" Zizhu Fairy probably woke up from a nightmare, and she hasn't figured out the current situation yet. After jumping out of bed with an exclamation, she was first stunned by her surroundings. The Temple of Chaos and Order belongs to the European god system, so this room is also decorated in European style, and it has nothing to do with the style of Heavenly Court. The purple bamboo fairy was stunned when she saw the surrounding furnishings, and then found me sitting outside.

I was sitting in the separate living room outside the bedroom, but the sofa I was sitting on was facing the bedroom, and the double door of the bedroom was not closed, so I could see the bed directly. The reason why he sat so far away was to dissociate himself from the relationship. Afraid of the purple bamboo fairy taboo; The second is that I'm also worried about my own life, in case the purple bamboo fairy wakes up and makes a big move directly, I can't stop it.

"Awake?"

"Where is this?" As soon as the purple bamboo fairy sat up, she glanced around, and then jumped out of bed and walked out.

"This is the temple of chaos and order in Isengard. Feel relieved. Your Protoss identity has not been erased, and I have not turned you into my pet. After all, our personal relationship was pretty good before, and I wouldn't take advantage of others

Thank you, Purple Bamboo Fairy, walked towards the gate after speaking.

I sat on the sand and poured myself a drink and said, "If you plan to go back to Heaven, I won't stop you, but I want you to understand that there is no point in going back now. In the end, even if you don't get sent back to me, you're still sent somewhere else. I am indeed inferior to you in terms of divine power, but if it comes to understanding human nature, you are too far behind me! ”

The Purple Bamboo Fairy was originally planning to go out. But his hand on the doorknob stopped. "Is there a way you can help me?"

"Do you know why Heavenly Court keeps coming to me when there are things that can't be solved?" I took a sip of my drink, then leaned back on the couch and continued, "Because I always have a solution. "Seeing that the Purple Bamboo Fairy was about to speak, I suddenly stretched out a hand to stop what she was about to say." Don't worry just yet. While I can handle most of the things you can't, I'm not a caring volunteer for a charity. Yes, I can provide perfect service, but that's built on perfect newspapers

"Me

The purple bamboo fairy only said one. The word was interrupted by me again. "No, no, no, you don't have to rush to promise me anything, all I want is the idea that you agree to pay me I said and stretched out my hand to gesture to my surroundings." Lo and behold, I'm not short of money. There is no shortage of resources, even I have a Protoss thug. So I'm not in a hurry. Heavenly Court shoehorned you into me, not paying the bill at all, they are adding to their debt, and this makes me very angry, so since you are willing to bear my reward for helping you. Then I will definitely help you. All right. I think now we've agreed, don't we?

The purple bamboo fairy nodded. "I'll pay, as long as you say

I nodded, and then as soon as I stretched out my hand, a small white furball immediately jumped into the arms of the Zizhu Fairy, and the Zizhu Fairy instinctively reached out to catch it, and then looked at me suspiciously, I don't know why I gave her one, such a cute little animal.

"It's one of my guild guardians, you can call it a furball. Now that we've reached an agreement. Then I hope you can cooperate with me to act first, so that it is convenient for me to help you find a way. ”

"Yes. What do you want me to do?.

I stood up with a smile, then walked over to a wall and stood there with my back against the wall. "Okay, use your ultimate move to knock me out along with the wall behind me, and then the little guy in your arms will take you to a place where you can adjust it first, and I'll look for you after the matter here is dealt with." Well, come on. You don't have to keep your hands. I'm not as fragile as you think. You can't beat me in one move, and I'll reimburse Heavenly Court for the damage to the house. ”

Although the Purple Bamboo Fairy didn't know what I was doing, she could only rely on me now, so in the end she made a move according to my arrangement.

The top floor of the temple of Isengar suddenly opened with a large hole, and everyone around me saw me fly out of the wall with a large pile of rubble, and then a purple glow flew out of the big hole and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Rumble. The rubble on the ground was suddenly lifted up, and I crawled out of it with a disgraced face. His mouth was still scolding: "Damn Zizhu Fairy, damn Heavenly Court, do you really take me for an idiot?" I cursed as I turned the teleportation ring and disappeared in an instant, and the next second I had already walked out of the teleportation array outside the Nantian Gate.

At this time, the South Heavenly Gate had been closed again. But I didn't knock on the door at all, and directly used the big buckle to order the door to be slammed three times. The people inside were frightened and "jumped." Hurriedly gave the gate to them. "Hey, isn't this President Purple Sun? Are you "? "I'm still dressed in gray now, and my image looks like an abnormal wolf, so the heavenly general guarding the door was also stunned for a moment.

I didn't pay attention to him at all, and rushed directly into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall angrily, but there was no one here at this time, only a few gods would guard in front of him. Ignoring the dissuasion of the gods, I yelled all the way and continued to break back, and soon found a group of leaders of the Heavenly Court in the Tushi Palace of Taishang Laojun.

"Huh? Ziri, why are you back? What's the matter with you? "Seeing that I suddenly appeared Taishang Laojun Yemenzi question mark, and looking at my angry appearance, it was clear that I was here to quarrel.

Paradox, I don't care what happens in your Heavenly Court, it's your internal problem, and my reward must not be less. "Look at the Jade Emperor to speak. I hurriedly shouted first, "And." Don't mention that purple bamboo fairy to me, she is not a reward, but a task, you see I was beaten by her! Her temple of Isengh has been blown into a big hole by her, and you will have to pay for it. And you. I pointed at Taishang Laojun and said, "Didn't you say that she couldn't wake up within an hour?" Why did you wake up in only half an hour? ”

"Huh? I don't know about that! Taishang Laojun was also very depressed, according to his calculations, an hour was a conservative estimate, who knew that he would wake up in half an hour. But since I'm here now, it means that this is true, after all, it's only been forty minutes since he knocked out the Zizhu Fairy, which is inevitably too fast.

"Then you dissipate your anger first, and we will give you the reward, and Heavenly Court will not pay the bill. But you've got to give us some time! You have also seen that Heavenly Court has not yet returned to normal, and it is really too busy for the time being, please wait a few days, okay? ”

"Well, I'll believe you again. But don't blame me if you shirk it the next time I come. I said and left Heaven in a rage.

In fact, I didn't come to ask for a reward for this trip, but I just informed Heavenly Court first, so that they would know that the Zizhu Fairy was not on my side, otherwise they would really take the Zizhu Fairy as a reward. Now this time has not exceeded an hour, so there is a problem with Taishang Laojun's words, and he can't deny it blatantly, so he can only admit it. And as long as they're willing to admit that they owe me, that's enough. After all, Heavenly Court is Heavenly Court, and if you pick the door a little bit, you will not deny the promised reward.

After returning to Isengard, the temple had already begun to be repaired, and I was pulled away by Walmart after just a brief look at the situation.

"Alright, okay, don't pull it." I ran after Walmart and asked, "What the hell did you get to pull me to see in such a hurry?" ”

"It's not about making anything. Rather, something was found. ”

"Discovery? What did you find? ”

"I see you."

I was dragged by Walmart to the monitoring center of the god of war, and by this time the leaders of the guild had already reached more than half of them.

"What the hell did you find?"

"See for yourself." The eagle pointed forward, and I followed his. In front of him is a large crystal imager, on which a stereoscopic scene is displayed.

Eagle explained: "This is a real-time signal from the giant mosquito outpost. ”

When I heard the eagle's words, I immediately looked at the picture in surprise. At this time, the imager showed a vast expanse of sea, and in the center of the sea was a large sea ship sailing slowly. The ship was huge, and with the exception of the Invader Sea Fortress and the Jaws dive carrier, there would be no moving ship that could keep up with the big guy. Even the Guild's current super battleships are only half the size of this thing. However, it is different from ordinary large warships. The ship did not have a turret, and not even a single piece of external equipment that looked like a cannon could be found. In addition, it has a very important feature, which is that its entire upper deck is flat.

"Aircraft carriers?"

"That's right." The god of war calmly answered my question. And another scene played. "This is a footage you recorded before you arrived here." I saw a huge bipedal wyvern running on the deck. It then flew up and soon disappeared into the sky. "See?"

I nodded. "But...... Oh, oops. I understand! ”

Aircraft carriers, which are combat vessels, have been proven to be the strongest maritime military force in modern battlefields, and their appearance has directly led to the withdrawal of battleships from the stage of history as representatives of the theory of cannon giant ships. However, while this theory has been proven in reality, this is not the case in the game. Super battleships like the Eternity and the Biling are still the supremacy of the seas, and those giant battleships that look like floating islands are being produced and used by various guilds, including our guilds, and our warships are still getting bigger and bigger, and the caliber of the main guns is getting bigger and bigger. The reason for this phenomenon is not because the players in the game do not understand military knowledge, nor because we worship cannons and giant ships, but because of an objective factor - gunpowder.

The reason why air carriers can dominate the seas is that they can attack others from positions beyond the reach of the enemy's artillery, and to do this, they must have aircraft with sufficient range, and these aircraft must also be able to carry enough power. The department must ensure that they can sink the enemy's warfare, and the "public aircraft carrier can become the supremacy of the sea", and the reason why there are no aircraft carriers in "Zero" is because the above situation cannot be done.

Zero is a fantasy game, so there are a lot of flying monsters in it, and although these guys may not be able to compare their speed with modern jet fighters, they have the range and load capacity of fighter jets, which means that flying monsters can completely replace airplanes except for relatively slow speeds. But the problem is not flying monsters, but bombs. No matter how strong the flying monster is, it is still a bit whimsical to want to sink the battleship. With the exception of top-level creatures such as dragons and phoenixes, most flying monsters cannot threaten the safety of even small ships such as light destroyers, so they cannot sink warships on their own. As for top-level creatures like dragons and phoenixes, they can cross the Pacific Ocean on their own, so what are they doing with aircraft carriers? Besides, there are absolutely not many such things, and almost no guild can have the luxury of using a dragon as a carrier-based aircraft.

There are three main types of weapons used by aircraft against warships in modern warfare: anti-ship missiles, aerial bombs, and airborne torpedoes. However, the problem is that the special alloy in Zero and some magic materials make the armor of the battleship much stronger than that of a real-life battleship, and on the contrary, gunpowder is much less powerful in the game. As a direct consequence of this, whatever weapon it is, it must be large enough to generate the right amount of power to sink a battleship. But the problem is that once the size of the weapon increases, it will inevitably increase in size and weight, and the flying unit is most afraid of large and heavy weapons. A torpedo as big as a small boat is not a problem for a battleship, but it is definitely a big problem for a flying monster to take off with a torpedo larger than two air-conditioned buses put together. As for the aerial bomb, although the size of that thing is slightly larger than a torpedo, even a large flying monster can bring one at most, and the flight distance and speed will be strictly reduced, basically the flying monsters that take off with the bomb have no mobility at all, and they will be shot down if they can't reach the sky above the enemy warship. As for reducing the size of the bomb, it will directly reduce the power of the bomb, if it can't penetrate the armor of the battleship, then what do you need the bomb for? So. The problem faced by flying monsters is that torpedoes and large bombs are too heavy to fly, and the bombs can drive but are basically not lethal. Don't even think about missiles, there is no production technology in the game.

It is for the above reasons that the aircraft carrier, which has been proven to be absolutely strong in reality, has become an auxiliary warship in the game, and it basically has no direct effect except for the flying monsters carried on it for reconnaissance and battlefield rescue. Who else would want a garbage battleship like this?

However, now the problem has been solved. The problem with aircraft carriers is that the Flying Warcraft does not have a suitable strike weapon, but the Japanese now have the Magic Crystal Steam technology. With the power of a steam bomb with a magic crystal. Just make a bomb the size of a watermelon, and it will be enough to threaten the safety of any ship below the cruiser.

And to sink cruisers and battleships, it only takes two bombs the size of watermelons to hit one in a row. A dozen is about the same. The mainstream flying monsters that can be obtained in large quantities by various guilds are griffons, bipedal wyverns, pegasus, and thunder eagles, and the one with the least weight of these four creatures is Pegasus. But if it's two, a bomb the size of a watermelon, even with a Pegasus, it can still be guaranteed to have a minimum of air dodge ability while carrying six to eight, and as for a big guy like a bipedal wyvern, even if you make the bomb the size of a winter melon, they can still fly with dozens of them.

"That means the Japanese have the ability to strike from the air, right?" I asked, looking at the image on the imager.

"Yes. And it is a very powerful air strike capability

"Is there a coping strategy?" I continued.

"At the moment, we don't have much of a problem with the guild." The god of war said: "The guardian spear of our guild has absolute air supremacy, as long as it can be detected in advance. We'll be able to make sure we take them all down before they reach the skies. But the key issue lies in our alliance guilds. They don't have the air power we have, and some of our guild's warships also have a high-ratio configuration structure, and there may be no guardian beasts on one ship except for the captain. ”

"Elan, do you mean that our warships' air defense is weak?"

"I'm afraid so

King Chuang looked at me and said, "President." If we don't find a way to solve this, none of our guild's warships will be able to go to sea! Without air supremacy, warships can't fight aircraft carriers at all, and our warships can't fly no matter how strong they are."

I listened to King Chuang's complaints, but my head was rapidly calculating what way to deal with the aircraft carriers of Little Japan. The reason why our guild was able to suppress Japanese players in the battle with the Japanese players under the command of Matsumoto Masaga was because we had the right to control the sea, so we could intercept the Japanese players' warships. You can find any place to land in Japan, but the Japanese can't land on a large scale to harass us. But once the aircraft carriers of small Japan gained sea supremacy. Then our advantage will be completely reversed, and that is something we absolutely cannot accept. It is necessary to find a way to abolish the aircraft carriers of small Japan. )
