Chapter 8: Cracks
"Assemble!"
Just after midnight, the sky was still dark, but the camp was brightly lit.
After the assembly order was given, countless well-dressed soldiers swarmed out of the barracks, and finally formed one square army formation after another in the training square.
Each formation, no more, no less, was exactly 10,000 soldiers.
Then countless military formations stretched out in the Grand Canyon of recruits, and the momentum was extremely amazing at a glance!
Due to his height, Li Yi was in the front row of a certain military formation, so his vision was excellent, and he was finally fortunate to see what a real sea of people is!
This Grand Canyon is now jammed with tens of millions of people, and all of them are new soldiers, and I am afraid that only in countries that implement this universal military service system can we see such a shocking scene!
However, before Li Yi could recover from this shock, an even more shocking scene came into view.
In a strange roar, I saw a huge black shadow slowly moving from the cliff ridge on the north side of the Grand Canyon to the sky above the canyon, directly covering the sky above the canyon.
Immediately afterward, the sound of "smack" was endless, and the metal gates expanded and opened at the bottom of the huge black shadow, revealing dozens of corridors with matte white light escaping from inside.
At this moment, Li Yi, who had been looking up at the sky and drooling, suddenly saw clearly that the huge black shadow above his head turned out to be a large spaceship, or to be precise, a medium-sized land transport ship!
Since traveling to this time and space, Li Yi is the first time to see the representative scientific and technological products of this era, and his heart is shocked or shocked!
There are no words that can describe his senses and mood at the moment, this transport ship, which seems to him to be incomparable, completely ruined his three views and completely blinded his eyes!
"I'm starting to like the world a little bit......"
Li Yi, who had always regretted crossing here, couldn't help licking his lips at this time, and some violent factors in his body began to move, fantasizing about forming a space fleet to sweep the world or something in the future.
Then, Li Yi touched his chin again.
"How was this built? How did it float in the sky? I have to study and study well in the future......"
While Li Yi was full of thoughts, one after another small landing craft streamed out of dozens of tunnels, lined up one after another to land in front of the military formation, and then opened the hatches and waited for the personnel to enter.
"Board now! Run to keep up, fast! ”
The instructors standing in front of each phalanx gave orders to their recruit companies and took the lead in leading the recruits to run into the landing craft in front.
After each landing craft was loaded with a company of recruits, it took off into the air, returned to the transport carrier from the corridor, unloaded the personnel, and flew out of the corridor to continue to pick up the personnel.
So many people can't be loaded by a medium-sized transport ship, so Li Yi, who was the first to board the ship, didn't see that after the transport ship he was on left, more than a dozen transport ships came in a row, emptying all the recruits in the canyon At the same time, he also threw down a new batch of indigenous recruits who had just come to report for service as adults.
From the outside, the transport ship is a domineering side leak, but the conditions inside are very simple, far inferior to the conditions on the civil aircraft, the space inside is huge, the top and bottom are separated by hollow metal plates, each layer of soldiers sit on the ground, and the leather seat belts are simply attached to the floor.
After about twenty minutes of flight, the transport began to slow down slowly, and finally stopped, and all the soldiers inside went down to the ground in the landing craft again.
The destination of this trip is also a canyon covered with metal plates, but there is not much space, and at a glance, there is nothing but a dozen metal tracks paved on the ground on the side of the canyon.
After the soldiers landed as a company, they lined up on the platform in front of the track under the command of the instructors, and after a while, they saw a string of "seat trains" formed by mechanical seats side by side roaring from far and near against the track!
After the mechanical seat train stopped, the soldiers in the front row sat on the mechanical seats in front of them under the orders of the instructors.
The next moment, only the sound of "click" was heard incessantly, and the soldiers' necks, wrists, waists, legs and other parts were firmly fixed by metal seat belts popped out from behind the mechanical seats, and their heads were also covered with fully enclosed helmets that flipped from the back of the chairs.
When everything is ready, the seat train starts again and roars away!
Sitting in a seat and watching a seat train go on is completely different.
Judging from Li Yi's experience, in a very short period of time, the speed exceeded 3,000 kilometers per hour, and then continued to climb gradually!
What kind of speed was finally reached, Li Yi could not estimate, I am afraid that it would exceed 1000 m/s - this is equivalent to the speed of the most advanced fighter in the old time and space!
Riding such a high-speed open-air train, everyone's cold hairs stood up, and they couldn't help shouting, but they were soundproofed by helmets again, and they could only see frightened faces.
When he felt that the seat began to slow down and seemed to be about to arrive, Li Yi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but a strong sense of weightlessness suddenly came to his heart!
Subconsciously lowered his eyes, and his face turned pale when he boarded, because he found that the train he was riding had flown off the track, and it was hanging in the air at this time!
To be exact, it's not that the train is flying, but that the ground is empty, and at this moment the train is falling in a parabolic way as if it has just broken out of a cliff!
Everyone was stupefied at this point - it's over, it's a train track accident!
However, just when everyone thought they were about to die, the train suddenly came to a rolling and emergency stop!
At this point, everyone began to hope again, thinking that it might not be a traffic accident, but before this thought could stop in their heads, the train continued to fall vertically and at a faster speed!
This huge centrifugal feeling of roller coaster made Li Yi, who was holding back the discomfort, finally grinned.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at an indigenous soldier on the left, and saw that his face was distorted at this time, and he didn't know what he was saying with a closed mouth, probably scolding his mother.
Looking to the right again, this one looked like he had had a deep stroke, rolling his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling.
Li Yi shouted with the breath of dantian, gritted his teeth again, endured the discomfort, and observed the situation outside with his eyes wide open—he didn't quite believe that with the level of science and technology in this era, such an imbecile traffic accident would happen!
After more than ten seconds, the centrifugal sensation began to weaken, and the scene in front of him quickly attracted Li Yi's attention.
At a glance, the place I am in at this moment is like a huge underground crack space, or an underground canyon!
Although it is a crack, it is also several hundred meters wide, and the most striking thing is the mechanical metal cliff in front of you that has no top and no borders on the left and right!
On the mechanical metal cliff wall, there are rows of cylindrical mechanical troughs emitting silver light densely and neatly, which is extremely spectacular and very sci-fi at a glance!
The seat train where Li Yi is located is now falling vertically along this mechanical wall, but it has never seen the bottom.
At the same time, the space around the seat train is also suspended parallel to the seat trains, which run on the same trajectory, and are also filled with rows of recruits with helmets on their heads and immobilized bodies.
Originally, Li Yi felt that the mechanical seat train was shocking enough, but at this moment, after having a reference, and then comparing it with the metal mechanical wall in front of him, the amazing mechanical seat train is not so eye-catching, it looks like a line segment drawn on a piece of paper, and he has become a point on a certain line segment, which makes people sigh at their own insignificance.
While sighing, Li Yi felt that the speed of the seat train he was riding was slowly slowing down, and the same was true of the nearby seat trains, some of which had been suspended and stopped, and some were slowly approaching the mechanical wall.
The next moment, Li Yi only felt that his body rotated, and the entire seat train rotated horizontally by 180°, making the person and the seat lean against the mechanical wall.
Then, a series of air valves sounded, and the rows of seats were fixed in half-open mechanical slots, and then the helmets on the heads were automatically opened.
Without the cover of the helmet, Li Yi's vision on the seat was wider at this time.
On the front, there is a huge crack space, you can see the opposite side of the crack space, and it is also a towering metal cliff, there are also countless lines-like seat trains are slowly approaching upward, and countless human soldiers are fixed on the mechanical groove of the metal cliff wall, at a glance, it is spectacular!
While enjoying such a spectacular scene, Li Yi suddenly felt a numbness in the back of his head, and then the whole person lost consciousness......
