Section 03 Range
Early morning.
The girl cowered under the covers and looked out the window at the sky.
In the black tin box next to the bed, the dark red heating wire is emitting heat, baking the whole room warm.
From the roof to the floor to the walls, all the natural colors of the wood are as far as the eye can see, which makes this cottage more jungle fun.
On the wooden table next to the bed was the girl's helmet, and the light on it flashed and flickered.
"Someone approached...... Confirm that the target is the apostle. ”
BT-7274's voice rang out from the helmet.
The girl rolled over lazily.
A short time later, there was a rhythmic knock on the door downstairs.
"Tuk-tuk."
"Uh......h Ah......h
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
The girl shouted as she got dressed.
There was a "creaking" sound downstairs, followed by the sound of shoes on the wooden floor rushing up the stairs...... Then stopped.
"Come on."
The dressed girl shouted.
“……”
Chen Zheng stepped on the stairs and spun up, this was the first time he stepped into the girl's boudoir...... Uh, the first time after the girl moved in.
The layout of the room obviously didn't change much, but it made Chen Zheng, the maker, feel a little unfamiliar.
Maybe it's the girly body fragrance in the air?
Or maybe it's some feminine ornaments?
Chen Zheng was thinking about what he didn't have, and at the same time put the wooden box he was carrying on the girl's bedside table.
"What's that?" The girl sat on the bed and combed her hair.
"Porridge, grilled fish fillet and seaweed soup." Chen Zheng dragged the recliner and sat down without seeing it.
“…… Oh. The girl opened the food box, and the smell of fish immediately came to her face with the steam.
Actually, this breakfast is not delicious.
Rice porridge made of paper, salty soup, and grilled fish fillets with only salt in it would be strange if anyone on Earth would not curse the street if they got such a breakfast, but on this wild planet, it is very rare for monotonous food to change its pattern slightly.
"Suck and slip...... Suck ......"
Chen Zheng sat in a rocking chair and quietly watched the girl eat.
"Have you eaten it?"
"Hmm." Chen Zheng nodded.
"Oh."
“……”
Until the end of breakfast, the two did not have any other conversation. When the girl finished eating, she looked up at Chen Zheng and said, "Say, what do you want to ask?" ”
"You're compared to that Red Lotus Titan...... Who is stronger? Chen Zheng was unceremonious and asked directly.
"I don't know." The girl said calmly, "The butcher's strength is about the same as mine, BT is stronger than ordinary dreadnought-level, and Red Lotus belongs to the latest dreadnought-level titan, which should be stronger than ordinary dreadnought-level, so there is no way to compare it for the time being." ”
“…… In the video, what is the last red beam used by Red Lotus? ”
"It's not clear, this kind of technology hasn't appeared in the Werther Empire before." The girl shook her head, "But judging by the judgment, it may be @#¥ (ghost) type technology." ”
“……”
Well, again, a word that cannot be translated.
"Well, that's another energy theory outside of zero-energy systems. I don't know the specifics, but you can ask the glasses, he should know a little. The girl replied.
“…… What do you recommend for a railgun? Chen Zheng asked the last question.
"Faster, farther, more accurate, more discreet."
"As it stands, it's powerful enough. But the preparation time is too long, and it takes more than ten seconds from charging to launching. Moreover, it is easy to be detected by the heat source detection system when it is launched, and it can only be hidden far enough away - at least 10 kilometers away to be detected by the detection system. ”
"Ten kilometers ......" Chen Zheng frowned imperceptibly.
"Looks like you've found out, right? If the launch mechanism is placed ten kilometers away, it is already below the horizon. However, if it is placed within ten kilometers, it will be warned, and Red Lotus's evasion ability is stronger than that of BT, so ......"
The girl shrugged: "So, at least at this stage, it does not have actual combat capabilities. ”
Speaking of hitting here, the girl couldn't help but suggest: "Instead of developing this kind of toy, it's better to put your mind on zero energy, with your talent, it won't take a few years......"
"How many years?" Chen Zheng raised his head, looked at her and said, "What will happen after 15 days?" ”
"Find a place to hide." The girl whispered, "If I fail, at least leave a seed for a counterattack." ”
As she spoke, the girl opened the drawer next to her, took out a cloth bag from it, and put it in Chen Zheng's hand with great dignity.
Chen Zheng held the cloth bag and did not open it.
He knew exactly what was inside.
"You...... Really not sure? Chen Zheng frowned.
"Well, I'm not sure." The girl said frankly, "If BT has one more zero-energy furnace...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. But even if I fail, I'm not going to fight to the end, I'm going to start the rafting system and get out of here. ”
"And go back to the Black Domain?" Chen Zheng asked.
“…… Maybe. The girl shrugged, "The Black Domain will be in chaos for at least a few months if it is blown up by me, and even if the tide leads to the Black Domain during this time, the chances of success are not great." That said, there's a good chance I'll drift somewhere else. ”
"As for you, this planet is so big, it's easy to hide from it if you find a place to hide, so don't worry......"
"......" Chen Zheng held the cloth bag and was silent for a while, then took one last look at the girl, stood up silently, and turned around and walked down the stairs.
"Stubborn little one." The girl sighed.
“……”
On the bedside table, the girl's helmet flashed, but she didn't make a sound.
……
"It's ...... Weapons like high-energy particle streams, right? The man in glasses pushed his glasses and watched the last few seconds of the holographic projection repeatedly.
"Is it ¥%?" Chen Zheng asked with a knotted tongue.
"Uh...... Yes, quite possibly. The man in glasses was stunned.
"Its range? Power? ”
"It's so powerful that it can melt almost anything known except for zero crystals. However, it is precisely because it is so powerful that its power in the atmosphere decays very quickly - because it will be heated to an ionic state by it, including the air, and the range on the surface of this planet will not exceed ...... 8 km. ”
The man with glasses estimated.
"The result of the calculation at the current atmospheric concentration is within 7.8 km...... Director, your estimating power is simply outstanding. ”
The glasses man's younger brother entered the data into the instrument almost synchronously, and then came to this conclusion.
After Chen Zheng thanked the man with glasses, he walked to his hut and muttered to himself: "It takes ten kilometers ......"
