Chapter 186: Planetary Fortress
"Kim, how's this ultimate Imperial weapon being prepared?"
In the interval between Zhan Xian's lecture on the Imperial Generals, Lin Bin, accompanied by Kim, came to the lookout platform facing the side of the all-metal planet in Starport. Looking up at the engineering ships that were busy around the metal planet, Lin Bin asked lightly without looking back.
"Back to Bixia, most of the construction of the Planetary Fortress has been completed, and what you see now is just a few small projects that need to be retouched and perfected around the perimeter of the Fortress!" Following Lin Bin's gaze, Kim naturally saw those busy engineering ships, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Planetary Fortress?" Lin Bin tilted his head slightly, and curiously glanced at Kim from the corner of his eye.
"Uh, Qi Yu Bixia, this is the name of this ultimate weapon privately obtained by the ordinary scientific researchers under Dr. Zhan! Please forgive me, Weichen called smoothly for a while, so ...... Please forgive me! Listening to Lin Bin's tone, it seemed that something was not quite right, and Kimden's heart jumped, and he bowed down in fear to plead guilty. Only then did he remember that Lin Bin, who was the emperor of the empire, had not yet had time to name this ultimate weapon of the empire, how could it be his turn to choose a name for his subordinates, didn't this obviously violate the emperor's taboo?
"Haha, don't worry about General Kim!" However, this time, Lin Bin did not get angry on the spot as Kim expected, but raised his head for a while, and said happily: "Is that the guy who likes to blame people casually? Hehe, Planet Fortress, this name is good! Okay, it's called Planetary Fortress, but it's better to add the word Sun Yan in front, so that the guys who are stunned by our ultimate weapon will know who attacked it! ”
"Bixia is wise!" Seeing that Lin Bin rarely didn't blame himself for these people, Kim suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly shouted with fear on his face.
"Alright, Kim, get out of the way! Did you just mean that the planetary fortress could set off at any time to open up territory for my Riyan Empire? Lin Bin waved his hand and smiled, turned back and continued to look at the all-metal planet, and asked with excitement on his face.
"Yes, Bixia! Moreover, the passage from this base to the border area of the Morita Star Zone has been cleared by the logistics engineering fleet, except for the chaotic meteorite belt with a thickness of less than one kilometer at the exit of the passage as a cover, all threatening meteorites and other objects in the passage have been cleaned up by the logistics engineers with high-yield explosives. Kim stepped forward slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the gray meteorite field in the distance, and reported respectfully to Lin Bin: "Also, in addition to the battleship cluster in the establishment, the energy, ammunition and other logistics materials required by the fortress have been equipped according to the three-month reserve!" To put it simply, now as long as Bixia gives an order, the fortress can be opened immediately, and the enemies of our empire will be taught a good lesson! ”
"Good!" Hearing Kim's report, Lin Bin finally showed a satisfied smile, nodded and ordered: "Then you can accompany me to the fortress to have a look now, I have to find a place to store some things in the fortress!" ”
"Yes, Bixia! I don't know bixia......" Hearing that Lin Bin was actually going to hide something in this armed fortress, Kim was suddenly a little curious.
Lin Bin didn't answer Kim directly, but turned around and shouted at Zhou Shen, who was guarding the edge of the lookout in the distance: "General Zhou! ”
"Yes, Bixia!" Zhou Shen answered in a loud voice, bowing his head to his miniature headset is a whispered command.
"Buzz!" The cabin of the landing ship docked on Starport opened again, first with a group of heavily armed Praetorian Marines, then a narrow rectangular hovering locomotive tightly guarded by several Janissaries. With the exception of the anti-gravity engine and the propulsion engine, which crashed underneath the car, the entire locomotive was very different from a normal suspension locomotive. The whole body is a silver-gray shiny armor, except for a few irregularly shaped covers on the sides, there is not even a transparent holographic window. The whole locomotive is like an unmanned locomotive, and there is no trace of the cockpit in sight.
"Let's go, General Kim! Hurry up and take me to the inside of the fortress to take a tour, I can't wait! Just as Kim was stunned by this rare mysterious locomotive, Lin Bin turned around and smiled heartily at Kim.
"Ah, please Bixia wait! To get inside the planetary fortress, you need to take a special landing ship! Kim suddenly woke up and hurriedly explained: "Wechen is going to let the landing ship come over!" ”
After that, after getting Lin Bin's nod and permission, Kim hurriedly called an adjutant and gave a quick order in a low voice, and then carefully accompanied Lin Bin down the lookout and walked towards a landing port in Star Port. Behind them, Li Hua led the team of Praetorian Guard marines and escorted the strange-shaped suspension locomotive to follow unhurriedly.
When the group was about to reach the landing port, a landing ship with a diamond-shaped section flew rapidly from a distance, and slowly stopped at the landing port of the star port with a few bright blue energy rays.
"Bixia, this is a special landing ship developed by Dr. Zhan specifically for the fortress! You see, this kind of landing ship is completely different from the ordinary landing ship in that the cross-section is diamond-shaped. And we had to stuff all the landing windows except for the huge hatches that were designed for battleships to enter and exit, and they were designed according to the diamond-shaped shape of these landing ships. Each landing window can only pass exactly one landing ship of this type! ”
Seeing that Lin Bin's eyes lit up when he saw the landing ship, the experienced Kim hurriedly explained on the side: "To put it simply, unless the enemy forcibly tears open the outer defense layer of the fortress or opens the giant hatch dedicated to the battleship, otherwise, any enemy landing ship will never want to sneak into the fortress, even if it is a friendly army, if you don't take this specially customized landing ship, you can't enter the fortress!" ”
"Not bad, yes! Dr. Zhan is truly a genius on the first day of the Empire! Hearing Kim's introduction, Lin Bin suddenly praised repeatedly.
"Bixia, please!" Although Lin Bin only praised Zhan Xianlai, to Kim's ears, this was no different from indirectly praising himself. After all, it was he who fully cooperated with Zhan Xian to complete this earth-shattering "masterpiece" in the history of imperial weapons.
Lin Bin smiled at the excited Kim and nodded lightly, then raised his feet and took the lead towards the landing ship.
Similar to the hull structure of an ordinary landing ship, this diamond-shaped landing ship is also divided into two main cabins, front and rear. In the front is the main cabin of the pilot, which occupies about a tenth of the hull, and behind is the large main cabin dedicated to transporting supplies and personnel. One thing that is slightly different is that this diamond-shaped landing ship is actually equipped with a large-caliber self-defense laser gun on each side. Although the range of this type of gun is not far and its power is limited, it is enough to deal with small warships such as the Ghost Escort Fighter.
Accompanied by Kim, Lin Bin went straight through the main ship's cabin to the cabin where the pilots were, and saw that in the not very spacious cabin, only two pilots were sitting in danger, waiting for the order to take off at any time. And above the cockpit, there is actually a holographic transparent hatch covering almost the entire cabin.
"General Kim, is this hatch covered? How I feel like I could stumble and fall into the depths of the universe at any moment! Looking up at the scene outside the cockpit, Lin Bin subconsciously asked casually.
Bixia laughed! This special transparent hatch is enough to withstand the direct fire of the main guns of Viking or Ghost escort fighters, how could Bixia be careless...... Uh, hehe! Kim hurriedly stopped talking, for fear that he would anger Long Yan by slipping his mouth for a while.
"Well, it seems that the astronomical amount of money I allocated to you is still worth it!" Lin Bin mentioned it thoughtfully, but it made Kim's heart chuckle slightly.
In fact, as the CEO of Jihua, the ultimate weapon of the empire personally approved by Lin Bin, Kim has reaped a lot of benefits from this. In Kim's hometown, he had bought almost all the land in the entire town and all the unofficial factories and enterprises, etc. The Kim family has become a small local prince.
Of course, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. With an emperor like Lin Bin, who only knows how to frantically scrape the people's fat and ointment to satisfy his own selfish desires, there will be countless national moths like Kim. In less than three or five years, the entire empire has almost rotted from top to bottom.
Gossip aside, and after Lin Bin improvised a compliment to Kim and the others, the landing ship left the star harbor with everyone and rushed straight towards the fortress.
Along the way, looking at the starry sky overhead, Lin Bin couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart. In his opinion, the army of the Riyan Empire has become stronger and stronger, and the task of reunifying the Federation is about to be completed by him and his imperial army. In the near future, he will surely be the youngest great leader in human history.
"Tick!" When his thoughts were drifting farther and farther, a crisp ticking sound in the cockpit suddenly woke Lin Bin. When I looked up, I saw that the planetary fortress in front of me was getting bigger and bigger, and I saw that the landing ship was about to crash into it. At this moment, there was no major movement on the part of the two pilots, and a diamond-shaped landing hatch suddenly cracked open on a square and flat "armor" on the hull of the fortress directly opposite the landing ship. The entire landing ship immediately seemed to be suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand, and suddenly accelerated and suddenly penetrated into it.
The inside of the fortress is a huge and dim space, and the thick metal armor structures like bones and veins are like spider webs all over the internal space of the fortress. These metal veins resemble long, irregular bridges, one end that connects to the outer armor of the fortress and the other that leads directly to the core of the fortress, a columnar structure hundreds of kilometers in diameter and like a large brown metal tree.
On the columnar structure of the metal vein skeleton and core, you can see colorful and bright lights everywhere, and there are bridge-like structures that extend one after another. It is clear that these were the places where the people of the fortress worked. And in those places where the metal veins and skeletons meet, there are also some structures similar to those of the star port. According to Kim, it was inside the fortress and was dedicated to the docking and repair work of battleship clusters.
"The entire interior of the planetary fortress can be equipped with a full Imperial space fleet. Of course, Weichen refers to the main fleet of the Empire, including various logistical support ships! These space battleships are like the escort fighters they carry, and they are also the escort warships of our fortress! And the most important and powerful weapon of our fortress is the secondary cannon with more than 360 power equivalent to the battleship's nuclear main gun, and the high-power fortress main gun that can directly destroy an asteroid with one shot! ”
Seeing Kim pointing at the huge cannon barrel extending from the core pillar structure of the fortress in the distance, Lin Bin's heart was shocked!
