301. The Floating Shadow
It's like a hurricane blowing through the scorching earth.
A huge shadow cast a shadow tens of kilometers long on the other side of the mountain, and the mountains were immediately obscured by the shadows that were too large to speak.
There was a strong smell of burning in the roaring air, as if tens of thousands of tires had been thrown into a fire and burned, no black smoke and dust rolled out, only the smell of waves under the push of the huge waves.
"Buzz! Hum-"
The sound of some kind of machinery trembled in the clouds, and the sunlight was reflected by the massive metal shell onto the black remnants of the village, forming countless fleeting flares. Then, even the sunlight was blocked out by that thing, and the 'boom' of thunder sounded like a huge cannonball exploding around the two of them. ”
"Click".
The telescope fell to the ground, and the bodies of the two stood motionless as if they were petrified, and after a few seconds, as the vibration of the ground on the high hill became more and more violent, cracks appeared on the entire hillside from the inside, and the rock was shattered and collapsed.
Buried by hundreds of thousands of tons of rock and sediment across the hillside, neither of them had time to let out a cry of fear, and just like that, it fell with the rising dust.
If they had gone to one of the destroyed villages earlier, they would have found those astonishing traces, the destruction of the walls was regular, it was something that rolled over the village, leaving nothing but destruction.
It didn't look like the marks left by the shelling: something about four meters wide had scraped the entire rocky ground where the village was located, almost as if it had been leveled by high heat. One corner of the house was crooked, the rest of it cleanly sliced, and the bones reflected a glimmer in its path, so that even the vultures did not come to peck at it.
After being eroded by supernatural forces, there is no sign of human habitation other than completely culled remains.
In the upper stratosphere, in an orbit near the ground, a huge sharp iron anchor cuts through thick clouds.
Thick water vapor flowing like a waterfall squeezed from the top of the iron anchor to the back, like cream pierced by sharp knives, gushing white waves away from the big guy who had squeezed their place.
"Orders are sent to all regiments, our emperor requires that no gangs in the region continue to operate within a radius of 100 kilometers, and once discovered, all of them will be cleared!"
"Again, it's all cleared, and no escapees are allowed!"
An officer-like man with an intercom device in his hand stood in a semicircular hall with six sides of glass, and behind him was a row of indifferent giants whose faces did not change in any way.
Superconducting alloy helmets made of ceramic fibers can withstand ultra-high temperatures of 3,000 degrees, and the helmets extend from their cheeks to their foreheads, which looks a little weird.
Everyone's eyes were glowing with green pupils, like ghost fire, shining on their resolute faces.
These people are all over 3 meters tall and are the strong debuggers carefully selected by the "Faceless God of War". The muscles on their bodies bulged high, and on the reinforced skin, they could see swollen veins, unbelievably thick, as if lava was flowing through their bodies.
After conveying those orders, the officer's face, which had been refreshed just a moment ago, suddenly withered, as if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of heavy burden, and slowly walked down the glimmering platform.
A female soldier wears a well-fitting military uniform, and a striking blue band of light lights up from her spine down her neck to the end of her spine. The only drawback is that the energy supply of this power A is a polymer battery, which is far from the standard, and can only be maintained for a short period of time when the full function is turned on.
With a wide leather coat in her hand, she walked up quickly and handed it to the officer.
"General of spades, the current altitude is 13,000 meters, the temperature is about minus 50 degrees, our nuclear fuel seems to be allocated to the power plant, and the temperature in this room will soon drop, you put on this coat."
"Nope! No need to wear this anymore. The General of Spades pushed away the woman's hand in disgust.
"But, as you can see, even the portholes outside are already frozen, and you still ......" The adjutant hesitated for a moment, trying to persuade him any longer.
"I said, no! Let me be quiet for a moment! The General of Spades snarled at her, stumbling a little, and descended the staircase.
"Yes, yes, yes."
The female adjutant took a curious step to the side and made way for the man who had just been promoted to the rank of General of Spades, and with his character, it was clear that he didn't need her to help him at this time.
The General paced slowly to the gap between the fireplace and the large desk, turned on the spot, and paced from the desk to the other end near the door, and finally stood in front of the window, where a thin layer of frost crept in through the crack of the mechanical door.
After a long time, the General of Spades was still sitting in a wide chair against the wall, looking out of the window in amazement, a huge castle standing not far away, the top of the castle to the outer wall of the lower floors, in the thick clouds and white expanse.
His hand was on the arm of the chair, and his eyes were vacant, as if he was waiting for something.
"Click-ding-dong!"
It was the sound of an elevator winch coming to a halt outside, followed by a steady sound of footsteps echoing through the hallway.
The General of Spades looked up, his eyes fixed on the deadbolt leading to the hallway, until a small red light instantly turned green on the mechanical box next to him.
He snorted to his feet, the corners of the wide, silver-white armrests revealing twisted metal, as if it had been vigorously squeezed into a mass of scrap metal, and the general's finger marks were clearly visible on it.
"Bang Bang!"
Three steel cables were bounced open, and the alloy mechanical door was slowly opened, and a herald standing in the doorway, who was also tall and burly.
Unlike the giants standing behind the generals in the previous row, the herald was not wearing a helmet, but his face was just as cold, and behind him were two researchers in white coats.
"Report to the General, the last debugging is ready, please come with me." The herald turned sideways and moved out of the way, and the two researchers hurried behind him.
The muscles on the General's face trembled slightly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he directly tore the military uniform on his body. Chi Guo is wearing the upper body, and there are countless strange scars on the brown skin, which is shocking, I don't know what kind of ordeal it is forbidden, and the steel-like muscles are absolutely unforgettable.
He knew what this last commissioning meant.
If he can survive this adjustment, his body will break through the limits and have the extraordinary ability to be rewarded by the emperor. And he also knew that this experiment would use new technical means, provided by the guy in black armor, and the success rate was less than 23%, which was the result of a lot of research and testing.
The General of Spades slowly turned around and glanced at the female adjutant who was still standing behind him, knuckles clicking.
"General...... Do you want to have that one for you this time, like last time? The woman's words were calm and longing, unsure if the general's state of mind was normal this time.
How she wished to hear a general's personal promise.
"I don't need any preparation, I'm happy with your work by my side, but you may be serving me for the last time...... Our emperor's dream of building a vast and unified empire is about to come true, and what do I have to complain about at a time like this? ”
On the face of the General of Spades, an unnatural and stiff smile suddenly squeezed out, and the expression was extremely ugly, but this was already the best comfort to the female adjutant.
"What! What you just said is that for your ...... Last service? ”
Her eyes were full of surprise and confusion, and her brilliant head immediately realized that there was something wrong with this concoction.
"I've already arranged that you will have a luxurious residence with a yard on the outskirts of the ancient iron city, and if you leave here, you can live there for the rest of your life."
The general's voice sounded so flat, but in the hearts of those who listened, it was like stirring up a thousand waves.
"Nope! I'm going to follow you all the time, and I'm sure that this time – it won't be any different! ”
The woman shouted, the muscles of her normally cold face twisted, and her eyes glistened with tears.
"Isn't it your dream to grow tulips, roses, ducks, hyacinths, orchids, and your favorite rosemary in that yard?" As if he had not heard her cry of grief, the general continued.
"No, I'm not going anywhere without you!" The female adjutant's tone was also resolute, and her last voice seemed to tremble like pleading.
"Don't worry! I'm definitely not going to have a problem, I've survived so many times, and this time I volunteered, among the generals, only I became the general of spades by counting the medals, and if I didn't go, I would be laughed at by them, and this was my only chance. ”
"No, no, even if someone laughs at you, I don't want you to leave like this......" The female adjutant held out a hand, trying to take his hand.
"What are you? Listen, I won't shed a tear for you! Fuck off, disappear from my eyes in no time! ”
The General of Spades didn't look back, and strode towards the end of the hallway, where the herald and two researchers immediately followed.
"I'm sorry, I'm a soldier! How could such a gadget kill me? I'm sorry, hahaha-haha! ”
A burst of wild laughter finally echoed through the empty hallway.
Then, the lights went out one by one in the passageway, and a string of blue light strips lit up at the end of the dark corridor, and the female adjutant watched them leave in a daze, until there was a "clang" in her ears, and the elevator door closed.
A deathly silence filled the air, and the female adjutant, still clutching the felt coat in her hand, fell to her knees on the cold floor.
The cold and thin air sighed silently outside, huge shadows slowly streaked across the lake, and a total of 12 giant spheres powered by nuclear power surrounded the base of the castle within a radius of 10 kilometers.
This is a giant airship developed by the Faceless God of War based on the fallen space city "Americas 1", and its principle is almost exactly the same as that of the crashed space city, and the entire ancient iron city is now floating in the sky, like a floating island.
The Emperor's Castle is the command post of this huge floating fortress and is at the heart of it.
The houses of the city are like a solid rampart around the castle, and they surround it in circles.
Hanging over the entire floating fortress is a huge energy shield with a diameter of about 13 kilometers, and from the inside of the cover, the sky becomes extremely blue.
The entire multi-dimensional force field cover, the electromagnetic fluid reaction membrane, was redesigned after a controlled nuclear fusion device excavated in the Land of Falling Stars.
Although its design drawings and other key materials have long been incomplete in the passage of more than 400 years, with the continuous excavation of more than 30 years of perseverance of the emperor, it has been pieced together from the brain chips acquired from other regions.
After that, the researchers of the ancient iron city analyzed and reorganized it and completely restored it. This kind of magnetic membrane was actually common on pre-civilization spacecraft.
Some small meteorites and gamma rays, etc., a large number of impacts will cause damage to the hull, so people at that time developed this defense technology, which played a great role in resisting the impact of kinetic energy in outer space and changing the direction of energy flow.
Unfortunately, due to the shortage of raw materials, this floating castle is actually only the first test flight, and its capabilities will not be confirmed until 2 weeks later.
