Chapter 866: Old Aristocrats
Chu Ge looked upwards, but could only see the dim sky and the smoke gradually dissipating, but he didn't see any flying machines.
These ropes, as if they appeared directly from the void, came from another dimension.
When he and the other hostages were driven onto the rope net, which was pulled all the way up, and after rising to a height of twenty or thirty meters, the void above gradually distorted according to the different perspectives, revealing the hideous face of a giant flying machine.
It's a rusty, weird flying machine.
There are no wings of a typical fixed-wing aircraft, no propellers of a helicopter, and certainly no huge airbags of an airship.
It is like a disc that floats silently high in the air.
"Anti-gravity technology!"
Chu Ge was shocked in his heart.
There are no wings or propellers, no airbags, and no airflow to the ground, which can only be explained by anti-gravity technology.
"The Celestial Organization actually has such a powerful technical force, has it already applied anti-gravity technology to actual combat?"
Chu Ge knew that the Earth Alliance's anti-gravity technology research had just begun.
At present, the flying sword of the cultivator contains the mystery of anti-gravity technology, and there is also a monster with a huge body like the Lord of the Red Lotus, which also relies on the anti-gravity organ in the body to support a huge body of nearly 10,000 tons, so as not to fall into the depths of the seabed.
The authorities are analyzing the anti-gravity technology of flying swords and monsters, hoping to "copycat" their own version, and have achieved certain results, but they are all products in the laboratory, and there is still a long way to go before they are applied to actual combat on a large scale.
I didn't expect the Celestial Organization to be silent, but it took out such terrible war equipment, the number one criminal organization in the world, and it really deserved its name.
Moreover, in addition to the anti-gravity technology, the stealth technology of the Celestial Organization is also beyond imagination.
Needless to say, the lizardman "Shilan" just now, even if he was born with the characteristics of a chameleon, it is impossible to be completely invisible, this must rely on the metals embedded in the flesh and blood, activate a special magnetic field, distort the light, and obscure the information, in order to achieve the effect of being shadowless and invisible.
Now, even a huge aircraft can appear out of thin air and escape the authorities' radar scanning.
This made Chu Ge can't help but think of the too illusory array created by the little palace master on the periphery of the "Cultivating Immortal Theme Amusement Park".
It was the invisible technology common to all the mountain gates in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
But the stealth technology of this aircraft is obviously higher - the reason is very simple, the mountain gate and the playground will not move, and the formation can be calmly arranged according to the surrounding environment, but the aircraft needs to move non-stop, and the technical content of stealth in the movement is a hundred times higher than the stealth in the stationary state!
"The Celestial and Human Organization is really terrifying, no wonder they are still thieves and stirring up trouble today, when the Earth Alliance dominates the world."
Chu Ge's heart moved, and a legend came to mind.
The legend of who is behind the Celestial Organization.
It is said that in the darkest years of the Calamity Era, many people gave up hope, believing that the end was coming, 99% of the human race would die tragically in the catastrophe, and the human civilization as a whole could not be saved, and the only way to continue civilization was to let the 1% of the elite, carrying the essence of the entire civilization, flee to the underground shelter with complete facilities and abundant materials, and wait until hundreds of years later, the calamity gradually faded, and their descendants returned to the ground to rebuild their homes.
As for which 1% of the elite are eligible to enter the underground shelter, it is naturally those who are high up in the powerful.
If they are not elites, how can they be "on top"? Very reasonable logic.
Similar practices have been shown in many science fiction and movies.
For example, in the past, there was a doomsday disaster movie called "2012", which foresaw the scene of the sky falling apart and the tsunami in the era of calamity, and the approach of the magnates in the movie is the same as that of the magnates in reality, that is, to build four huge "arks" to escape for their lives.
In reality, the magnates are not building a movable ark.
Rather, it is a shelter hidden in a safe place, deep underground—more solid, wider, and lavish than the Ark.
While the vast majority of ordinary people are struggling in a world where order is collapsing, tsunamis, earthquakes, and water are hot, the elites of the old world have carried the cultural crystallization of human civilization, important resources and cutting-edge technology, and secretly entered the underground shelter in batches, ready to enjoy hundreds of years of low-key peace, and then come out to rebuild their devastated homeland.
Perfect plan.
But there is a small error.
That is, the magnates did not expect that the era of calamity would pass so quickly.
I didn't expect that there would be such a thing as "Reiki".
I didn't expect that the ordinary people who were still stranded in the broken world and were regarded as ants by them would be so tenacious that they would unite and fight the heavens and the earth to restore order.
The Calamity Era was not the real end of the world in the first place, it was just the opening of the passage between the three worlds, and the aura poured from the high-concentration worlds such as the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Illusion Realm to the low-concentration worlds such as the Earth, bringing temporary turmoil and chaos.
The real catastrophe, such as the global "Xiaoice" period, will last at least hundreds or even thousands of years, and the old magnates are doing the right thing.
However, the Three Realms merged, and the calamity lasted only a hundred years, and then it reached Nirvana full of hope.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters have not only failed to destroy human civilization, but have forced out the wisdom and courage hidden in the deepest blood of every human being in the desperate situation of life and death.
And the appearance of "aura" has made these heroes grow further, and finally overcome all difficulties, come together, and unify most of the world at an incredible speed, establishing the Earth Alliance.
Now, the old magnates hiding in the underground shelter are embarrassed.
They were originally the rulers of this world.
But they voluntarily gave up their right to rule, and also left behind those who once believed in them, voted for them, and hoped that they could save the world.
They acted as traitors to their people, carrying infamy and retreating into the earth, believing that they and their descendants would be the saviors of the world hundreds of years later.
Unexpectedly, now that the people have saved themselves, there is nothing to do with them!
The old magnates were naturally unwilling to live hundreds of years of hiding their heads and tails underground.
They long to return to the light and regain the supreme power that "should be theirs".
But how is this possible?
When the people needed them the most, when human civilization was in danger, when the whole earth seemed to be ruined, they slapped their butts and slipped away, taking with them a lot of precious resources and technology.
Now, when everything is calm and the dust has settled, they want to come back as if nothing happened, and climb over the heads of the people again?
The people do not yet have such a low IQ, such a weak memory, and such a magnanimous belly.
What's more, in the process of fighting disasters and building alliances, new interest groups have been formed, and the nouveau riche have formed a supreme council.
Of course, considering that the old elites still have a lot of resources and technology in their hands, as bargaining chips, they really want to return to the surface, or even occupy a place in the Supreme Council, it is not impossible, but this needs to be slowly negotiated under the leadership of the authorities, and everything is dominated by the Earth Alliance.
The old elites could not tolerate this kind of negotiation at the mercy of others.
The relationship between the Earth Alliance and these Vaults is strained.
There are even rumors that the old elites have spent a lot of resources and technology to support a super criminal group, that is, the "Celestial Organization", which will do everything to attack the Earth Alliance and prepare to subvert the supreme power.
But rumors are just rumors, and the Earth Alliance has no military plans to attack the sanctuary of the old magnates in a big way.
On the one hand, these shelters are all in poor mountains and bad waters, easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the war machine is activated, it will become a gold-swallowing monster, and the shelter has not been defeated, and the military budget of the Earth Alliance has exploded.
On the other hand, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and although the old magnates have escaped into the shelter, they have finally left a large number of tentacles in the outside world, infiltrating all walks of life in the military, politics, economy, industry, and media, especially in the media circle, and have a strong influence.
Before grasping the real evidence of the old magnates and celestial organizations colluding with each other, the authorities launched military operations against the old magnates "for no reason", and it was easy to be attacked by "the current situation in the other world, and the earthlings will kill each other".
