On a clear sky, a W-2 Mosquito attack plane was clinging to the edge of the clouds, heading in the direction of Seogu City.

About 30 kilometers behind it, followed by a "Dragonfly" transport plane carrying a "hydrogen balloon" communication system.

Tail really didn't guess wrong, of course, the respected manager would not leave his little player alone, and generously sent the first set of communication equipment.

Still, generosity is generosity.

Such a "high-tech-density" device, which is no less cheap for the Union,

Before dropping the second drop box, Chu Guang needed to figure out what happened to the last communication base station that hit the street, so as to avoid the new communication base station from repeating the same mistakes.

It's too slow to send the army over, and you can't race without a road network, even if the Storm Legion is fully equipped with the most basic exoskeletons, it's only 30 a day

kilometers of marching distance.

Although the player's corps is very strong in combat and has an aura of "morale locking", the discipline will plummet because of "boredom,

It is unrealistic to count on a forced march of more than a hundred kilometers.

Therefore—

It can only trouble the Air Force.

"This is Falling Feather... The target airspace is approaching, and a search for ground signals is underway.

Glancing at the VM tied to his thigh, and looking at the approaching Ruigu City, Luo Yu pressed down the joystick in his hand and controlled his car to drill out of the clouds.

According to the mission, he needs to get in touch with the players on the ground, find out from them what is going on at the communication base station, and report the message to the "Dragonfly" transport plane in the rear, and take a few photos to take back.

It's an easy task.

He couldn't help but yawn.

However, just as he was about to get in touch with the players on the ground, a dark shadow in the distance attracted his attention.

"Damn...

"What's that??

The majestic steel airship is like a carp with wings spread.

It's not just the pure metal shell that's stunning, it's also the dazzling array of weapons all over its body.

It is hard to imagine how such a behemoth could be suspended in mid-air.

What is even more unimaginable is that what provides him with the driving force is actually a long row of propellers connected in parallel, the original and the advanced, two completely different concepts, miraculously compatible.

Luo Yu's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Soon, all the shock turned into intense excitement and shock in an instant.

It's just a hanging, okay!

But—

It seems to be in some trouble.

Luo Yu vaguely saw that on the wing of the airship, one of the spiral awards was flickering with sparkling flames.

It seems to be on fire.

Just when he was about to fly closer to take a look, he suddenly found a thick barrel on the top of the airship, which was slowly turning the angle and aiming straight at his caliber.

To say the least, there is a 100 mm!

The moment he met the sight of the cannon barrel, Luo Yu's face changed instantly.

"Holy!"

There is no time to hesitate.

He immediately slammed the joystick and tried to fly underneath the airship.

At the same time, he cut the communication channel to the "Dragonfly" transport plane 3 kilometers behind him and reported the situation on the front line to the rear.

"Airship! Unidentified armed airship was found over the city of Seogok, suspected to be a"

Before he could finish the last few words, an orange-yellow flame cut through his thoughts.

He didn't even hear the cannon before the blue pop-up window of [Disconnected] was cast into the bottomless darkness.

Slowly took off his helmet.

Luo Yu, who was sitting on the bed in his bedroom, looked around in confusion, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

it!

Without saying hello, he fired directly.

It's not about martial arts!

"Airship?!"

"Wait, what do you suspect?"

"Hello? Brother, are you still alive?

Above the clear sky.

Sitting in the cabin, his head was unprofessionally anti-steamed buns, and he repeatedly confirmed the situation in front of the falling feathers.

However, the cut off voice never answered.

Listening to the noise coming from the communication channel, the unprofessional anti-steamed man gradually realized that the situation may be more serious than he imagined.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and while pulling back the electric door, he deflected the control stick to the left, controlling the plane to draw an arc in the air and return to the airport north of Dawn City.

A three-engine transport plane made of A3 aluminum alloy and equipped with a full set of instruments is much more expensive than the W-2 that cut corners.

Sitting in the rear cabin, Brother Ice and Fire shouted.

“… What's the turn? Aren't we going to Swiss? ”

Things have changed... Luo Yu said that he saw the airship. “

Airship?! “

Brother Ice and Fire was a little confused.

What is there to be afraid of about the old antiques that were almost eliminated during the First World War.

It's a pity that the 37mm gun was mounted on another "Dragonfly".

If he wasn't given an angle, he might even have the confidence to take that thing down with a gunboat.

"I don't know if I feel like it's a simple airship, I can shoot him down the moment Luo Yu finds it, and eighty percent of them have noticed it a long time ago.

"You mean there's radar on that airship?" Brother Ice and Fire was surprised.

Unprofessional anti-steamed thought about it and said.

"There should be, radar is not a difficult thing, even airships have it, it can't be a predator after all... However, I estimate that there are no guided weapons on it, but anti-aircraft guns or whatever.

After all, if there are missiles, I am afraid that they will be shot down by the opposite side before entering the line of sight.

What kind of industrial waste is this kind of flying technology in the era of World War I and fire control system in the era of World War II?

However, even industrial waste is not something that their broken transport machine can deal with.

Anyway, give him a "beginner six".

There is no need to hang AA shells, two aviation machine guns are enough . As long as there are no surprises.

Without any hesitation, the unprofessional anti-steamed man pushed the electric gate to the maximum, and decisively slipped away with full horsepower...

Hearts of Steel.

Inside the bridge.

Looking at the sour black scum on the table, McClan was momentarily stunned, and then a trace of anger quickly appeared in his eyes.

"What is this?"

"General, this thing is entangled in our propeller, it hangs under the balloon, it should be a thread"

Standing in front of General McLen, the engineer in aerial overalls lowered his head, swallowed nervously, and spoke quickly.

The technical officer accompanying the army stepped forward half a step, pinched a handful with his index finger and thumb, and stared at it for a long time.

… It's made of carbon and silicon, and it's kind of like an optical fiber. “

It's a very common sight in the wasteland, and can be found in almost every concrete building.

It is said that in the distant era of prosperity, man was an animal that could die without speaking, and everyone was covered with a horn, and every wall was covered with a radio station or something like that.

This optical fiber, made of silicon carbide composites, is as thin as a human hair, crawling like capillaries in every corner of the city, forming a huge and complex information matrix.

Although this technology has been systematically lost, the "ropes" as thin as a hair have survived like the concrete waste.

It is light enough to be tougher than regular rope, but less strong than wire thread, and not resistant to high temperatures, so the average waste picker will not deliberately collect it.

Of course, this is not so absolute.

Some survivor settlements use it to convey information, although this is not common.

Someone must have tied this fiber to a hydrogen balloon and happened to be caught up in our propeller. “

"A short circuit in the current caused a deflagration of hydrogen gas attached to the engine, igniting the oil on the propeller shaft."

The navigator made his judgment based on his own experience.

However, the adjutant standing aside was not satisfied with his statement.

"Coincidentally? I don't think it's a coincidence, who would release balloons into the sky without any trouble, this is clearly a deliberate and vicious trap! “

"I think so too, it should be a balloon... The staff officer pondered, "We've encountered something similar before in the survivor colony to the west. ”

But the balloons they had seen were much larger than the ones they had just encountered, and the wires were stronger between the balloons.

It was precisely because of this that their radar and observers did not notice the balloon at all.

"Is there anything like this nearby?" McLaan asked with a grimace as he looked at the navigator.

The navigator hurriedly shook his head and said.

"No, I've asked the observer to make sure it's just this one!

Hearing this, McKellen's face couldn't help but be a little ugly.

There was this balloon nearby, and it happened to collide with the engine of his airship.

He didn't know for a while whether to complain about the accuracy of the balloon or whether to complain about the good connection of his airship.

In any case, this trap appeared in our path, and the person who set it not only knew that we were coming, but also predicted our course...

The index finger rested on his chin, and the staff officer's face was written with a hint of solemnity, and he continued in a slow voice.

"Although the trap itself is not clever, it can cause us so much trouble with this low-cost trick. The strength of these people may not be underestimated.

McLaren asked in a deep voice.

"Who do you think would have done it?"

The staff officer thought for a moment and said.

"The Great Rift Valley is too far from here, and the Bugerra Free State has our eyeline, and the only force in the vicinity capable of doing this is Boulder City. But I can't say for sure, after all, the reinforcements of the company have also arrived in the vicinity, and maybe those people did it. “

As for the survivor forces of Luoxia Province, they were completely ignored by him.

Although the inhabitants of the desert did not look at them, most of them dared not speak out.

There are very few people who dare to resist them, and they are simply not capable of doing such a thing.

After all, analyzing the route, this is too mysterious,

Constant real-time monitoring of their position also requires monitoring of atmospheric currents, and even then, it is only possible to predict a few possible routes.

In fact, compared to planning for a long time, he also suspected that it might be a coincidence.

However, if it is explained as a coincidence, it does not explain why such a string of hydrogen balloons of unknown significance appeared on a barren mountain.

"Boulder City, I remember being a remnant of a former civilization.

The adjutant pulled out a notebook from his bosom, flipped through two pages in his hand, and continued muttering.

"According to credible information, the post-war reconstruction committee helped them build a wall and gave them some weapons to fight the waves, and I heard that tens of thousands of people live there, maybe hundreds of thousands. Their settlement is not too far from here, only 150 kilometers away... But why should they deal with us?

"Maybe it's to warn us to stay away from them? But this probability is very small.

The staff officer proposed a scenario, although he himself felt that it was unlikely.

This stupidity is more like a picker than a warning.

There is no intimidation other than wasting a little of their time.

It will only irritate them.

"These rats only dare to hide in the gutter."

A cold snort came out of McKellen's mouth.

"No matter who did this, it's best to pray that I won't be found out that I'm incense, and that guy Houhai will be born into this world."

When he caught the man, he would strip the guy naked and hang it under the airship until it froze into a popsicle before throwing it down.

Leaving the harsh words behind, McLaen looked at the shivering engineer standing aside.

"How long will it take to fix it?

"No for a week, three days, it should be fine to give me three days!" The engineer said profusely sweating.

Hearing that it would take three days, McLene's face instantly filled with a trace of impatience.

However, he knew that it was useless to urge.

There's no such thing as a very tall airport where you can quickly replace broken parts.

If you want to repair it, you can only drop the altitude and throw down the anchor chain that holds the airship in place.

Then, sticking out the bracket through the hatch, he hoisted the Engineer out of the airship like a fishing rod, carefully removing the broken parts and replacing them with new ones.

Alternatively, you can choose not to fix it and turn off one of the engines in the symmetrical position of the left wing.

The rest of the Spiral Award can still propel the airship, but the lack of two engines will reduce its speed by a full two, and its maneuverability and stability will deteriorate.

The weakening of mobility is acceptable, after all, it is impossible for such a behemoth itself to dodge attacks by maneuvering.

However, navigating through the bumps is something that McLaen can't stand no matter what.

Especially when he could imagine that if he came back with a broken propeller, the old fox of Griffin would laugh at him.

Even if it's not a very serious loss,

The staff officer standing on the side gave a suggestion in a soft voice.

"The information we have is several years old, and I'm afraid it's outdated.

"The engine needs to be repaired anyway, so I suggest camping on the spot while sending a ground force to reconnoiter the surrounding area. Wait until you have gathered more information before making the next decision. ”

The adjutant on the side also said.

"I think so too, I suggest sending someone to arrest a few local aborigines and ask, I can't find out who did this!

McLaren grimaced and nodded slowly.

"That's it.

As soon as the words fell, the crew sitting in front of the bridge console suddenly spoke.

"Report! There are UFOs entering the identification zone of our radar!

"What's that?"

Having just broken a spiral prize, McClen was a little nervous and asked almost reflexively.

"It seems to be a propeller plane." The crew said hesitantly.

Hearing that it was a propeller plane, McLaan breathed a sigh of relief and said casually impatiently.

"Let it roll.

"The other party did not answer!"

"Then fight down."

"Yes!"

One of the crew members immediately picked up the phone on the console and reported the shooting to the operator in the weapons control room.

Soon, there was a cannon shot overhead.

The thick barrel spewed flames, accompanied by the slight vibration of the airship, and a ball of fire instantly exploded in the distance.

"Hit the target!

"Confirm the wreck! The target is falling!

The crew sitting in front of the console reported one after another, although it was nothing more than the shooting down of a propeller plane, there was nothing to celebrate at all.

Holding the binoculars, McClan soon saw that under the clouds in the distance, a plane with a broken wing had burst into flames and plunged straight into the city below.

He wasn't sure what the plane had to do with the balloon, but the light of the fire still relieved him.

"Send a few people over in a moment." McLaan said with a blank face.

The adjutant standing on the side stood up and saluted.

"Yes!"

Then, he looked at the staff officer next to him.

"It's up to you to anchor and deploy the ground camp.

"Also, the 29th Marine Corps, which is searching for the employees of the enterprise, report to me immediately if there is any news.

Staff: "Understood.

Putting away the binoculars, McLaan turned away from the bridge.

At this moment, he didn't know that the pilot of the plane he had just ordered to shoot down had gone to another world, and he was excited to upload a photo of his "Iron Heart" to the official website forum of a certain game.

Luo Yu: "Brothers! What do you see I've found!! “

“、、.”

In the moments before being shot down, he took the picture almost subconsciously.

Fortunately, before the on-board communication equipment was destroyed, the data was transmitted back to the signal tower in the north of Dawning City, and was successfully synchronized to his photo album Although at this point, the vast majority of players are in the game, but the enthusiasm of cloud players for the discussion of the new version is not inferior to that of the European emperors who have already obtained the qualification for the closed beta.

The screen was quickly swiped below the post.

"? What's the expansion pack out again?! “

"Steel airship! This ship's cannon is awesome! “

Crying damn, Dogecoin planning, the internal test has not been opened, and Nima's expansion is out!

Brother, you don't want the closed beta qualification anymore.

"Planning to bully bullying!"

In less than a minute, the post was covered by hundreds of floors, and then the entire forum was boiling.

Judging from the logo on the airship and the size of the gun, many cloud players have cleared the idea that this airship may be the work of the Legion.

As for how the iron lump floated into the air, the heated discussion on the forum is also varied.

Some say it's anti-gravity, others say it could be some special lightweight material, others say it could be the same as the manager's hammer, based on an unknown technology manipulated by some gas molecule.

Whatever it is, one thing is for sure, it must be some kind of black technology that does not exist in reality, and even the signs are invisible.

Almost everyone is looking forward to this "new version of the ship" and what new work the dog has planned.

In addition to planning the B4 floor of your own shelter.

Looking at a few photos in the laptop, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, was not only not a little happy, but his face was blank and embarrassed.

“… What the hell is this?

(
