Vault 404, Browsing Room on Level B4.

A holographic screen suspended on a coffee table is showing images of the airship falling, including the sea of fire that bloomed after the fall.

Hea smacked her tongue and threw down a cruel phrase to put it mildly, then turned and left the browsing room, going back to the lab to get back to her business.

War was not something she was interested in.

Graviton-related technology is not her field of study.

As for Yin Fang, he crossed his arms and stared at the two airships with straight eyes, as if he was silently calculating something in his heart.

Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, also looked at the holographic screen, but the focus was different from that of ordinary people.

For example, the first thing he noticed was that the velocity growth curve of the airship's fall was not uniform, its acceleration was always changing, and the amplitude of the jump up and down was not small.

It's actually quite understandable.

First of all, the deflection efficiency of the deflection shield is different for different materials, and generally speaking, the higher the atomic number, the stronger the deflection effect.

The partial conductive shield is based on graviton interference, and gravity wells are also based on a similar principle, and it can be deduced that the higher the atomic number, the greater the influence of the graviton, and the stronger the macroscopic interference effect.

For example, metals will fall faster than carbon-based organisms or something.

In addition, the uneven change in the acceleration of the airship falling may also be related to the uneven distribution of gravitons on the gravity well face to a certain extent.

In addition, the airship itself also endures a certain amount of wind resistance during acceleration.

However, it would be too academic to continue to explore this issue, and it was beyond the scope of his knowledge.

Just when Chu Guang wanted to ask Yin Fang on the side what he thought, Yin Fang suddenly lowered his arms and said with a sigh.

“…… I didn't expect such technology to be stored in the college's database. ”

Chu Guang didn't think it was very strange, after all, he had traveled to this world for so long, and he had seen more strange things than this.

"Is there anything special about this technology? I mean...... This compares to other devices based on graviton-manipulating technology, such as deflection shields and anti-gravity devices. ”

"Hmm...... You've got a problem for me. Let's put it this way, theoretically speaking, we can use gravity wells to create an infinite singularity of density......" It seemed that Chu Guang didn't understand this, Yin Fang thought for a moment and continued, "In other words, it can not only be used to change the forces between macroscopic objects, but it can also be used to create black holes. ”

Chu Guang didn't understand.

In short, it is a force capable of destroying planets.

"But it shouldn't be easy, right? In terms of energy consumption. ”

Yin Fang nodded.

"It's really not easy, if you want to make a black hole that is big enough to engulf a galaxy, you have to have a stellar reactor...... Of course, this is just my speculation, and I can't give a positive answer to the conclusions that have not been experimentally demonstrated. ”

Perhaps in the distant future, the study of gravitons will lead to deeper insights, and stellar reactors may not necessarily be needed.

Just as a long time ago it was thought that it was impossible to bring two atoms together, but now they can even use this power to generate energy that can be harnessed.

The Prosperity Era has only touched the edge of graviton-related technology, and the technology developed based on those immature theories is largely blind and unsightly, and they are not really standing in that invisible dimension.

“…… To be honest, what surprised me the most was that the academy would hand over such technology to us. ”

Chu Guang asked.

"What's wrong with that?"

Yin Fang nodded and said with a complicated expression.

"Of course there is, and it's a big problem...... After all, compared to plasma technology or electromagnetic acceleration technology, this technology that has reached the singularity realm poses the greatest threat to them. ”

After a pause, he continued.

"Neither missiles nor electromagnetic cannons can stop a starship equipped with a warp engine and a deflection shield, but gravity itself can. With a slight improvement in this technology, we can not only use this technology to close the hyperspace channel of the Earth-Moon system, but also pull the starship hovering in high orbit back to the ground. ”

In Yin Fang's opinion, this is the most incredible place.

The Academy handed a dagger that could kill itself into the hands of the Alliance.

Considering what those guys had always done, Yin Fang almost instinctively wondered if there was any fraud behind this, or if the academy had other backhands hidden in it.

After listening to Yin Fang's words, Chu Guang's face also had a hint of surprise, but soon that trace of surprise was replaced by a playful smile.

"Maybe it's their judgment after weighing the pros and cons."

It's a bit annoying to say that, but the academy did calculate him once again.

Just as they had guessed that he would do something after learning about the situation in the province of Geumcheon, they were certain that he would not use this epoch-making technology where it shouldn't be.

If the probability of the risk occurring is zero, then the risk itself is negligible, and the rest is a benefit.

Both sides can get what they want from each other.

The Alliance needs the Academy's technology to transform the decaying Old World, and the Academy needs the Alliance to build their ark to the New World.

In fact, they did get the bet right.

Chu Guang did not have any interest in harming others and himself.

Or that this can't be considered gambling, but should be regarded as a kind of conspiracy.

The images on the holographic screen continued to show, but at the end of the day, nothing new was left, only a raging fire.

Yin Fang, who satisfied his curiosity, like Heya, did not continue to stay in the browsing room to watch the excitement, and turned to do his own thing.

Unlike a guy with a bad taste, Chu Guang wasn't interested in seeing those Willantes twist in the flames, so he reached out and turned off the screen.

Most of them are also ordinary people who have been coerced by the times.

The real damned people are not in this fire at all, and the judgment of those people is after everything is over.

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder with his hands on his cheeks, was silent for a long time, until the browsing room was quiet again, and then sighed faintly.

“…… It is not known how many people will be burned in this fire. ”

"I don't know, maybe 10,000, maybe tens of thousands,"

Casually replying to such a sentence, Chu Guang's gaze suddenly fell on another report lying on the corner of the table.

It was a report of the Xifan Port tragedy, a few months ago.

The report was on his desk along with a large pile of papers, most of which had been filed, and only this piece of paper remained.

With so much going on in the meantime, he had forgotten why he had left this document here in the first place.

Chu Guang reached out and took the document in his hand and flipped through it.

The fire that engulfed 3,000 lives seemed to be the trigger for everything.

And the price paid by the people of Willant in this fire has long been far more than the number of 3,000......

……

Just when Chu Guang turned off the holographic screen, the fire in the western suburbs of Tiandu was still burning.

Although Captain Ryan gave the order to retreat, retreat did not mean surrender, and the Willant soldiers who withdrew from the center of the explosion did not give up resistance.

In order to cover the strategic shift of the large forces, small units of the Southern Army remained in their positions, resisting the attacking Borneo Army and the volunteers of the Alliance.

However, in the absence of artillery cover and air support, this resistance was largely futile.

In the face of the bombs and whistling rockets of the goblin army, the hundred-man squad that was left behind could barely hold out for five minutes, and was surrounded and suppressed by the Borneo soldiers who pounced on them.

Inside a small, abandoned village.

The face of the commander of the 311th thousand, Petruk, was full of panic.

An hour earlier, he had fled here with the guards under the cover of two detachments of hundreds.

Before he could catch his breath, however, there was the sound of crackling gunfire outside, followed by the whistling of propellers and the roar of cannons overhead.

The Allied Air Force pursued them, as well as the Borneo soldiers with rifles.

Those guys seemed to want to get all the grievances of some time ago back, and they didn't even plan to leave them a chance to catch their breath.

Petruk watched as a rain of orange-yellow bullets rained down from the sky, crushing the tiled house directly in front of him outside his window, and none of the soldiers inside escaped.

A breach was blown out of the defensive line.

There was no time to pay a moment of silence for their fallen comrades, and the two machine gunners stepped on the rubble and rushed up again, only to collide with the oncoming Borneo soldiers, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out in the alley.

Petruk moved to another half-collapsed cowshed under the cover of the guards.

The chaos of the battle made his eyes widen, and his eyes were full of fear.

The lieutenant beside him gasped, drew his pistol and loaded it, looking in the direction from which the shot had come from.

However, the gunfire did not come from one direction, but from all directions.

"Damn! It's full of people out there! ”

The lieutenant trembled and groaned. With a groan, the grizzled face was also full of horror.

Petruk reached out and grabbed the nearby correspondent and yelled at him.

"What about Command? Have you been contacted?! ”

The correspondent shook his head nervously and stammered in reply.

"Not yet...... There may be something wrong with their radio station. ”

"!"

Petruk cursed secretly, glanced at the meteors that kept streaking in the sky, and then looked ahead.

"You can only wait to die! We've got to find a way to break through here! ”

The adjutant nodded nervously, but did not speak.

It's a plain deal.

The question is how to break through......

Just when everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot, the houses and courtyard walls in the distance collapsed.

Towering steel armor and tracks grinded straight in from the front like the bucket of a bulldozer.

Looking at the towering barrel and the coaxial machine gun, everyone's faces instantly lost their blood.

The mole, poking its head out of the turret and his arm on the hatch, held the microphone of the speaker, and shouted at the officer-like Willantes.

"The people in front listen, lay down their arms and surrender."

"This is your last chance, and I'll give you three seconds to think about it."

The mole cleared his throat and was about to count down.

But before he could count to one, Petruk immediately dropped his pistol on the ground, snatched the pistol of the adjutant from him, and threw it in front of the track.

"I surrender!"

Shouting at the man in the turret, Petruk raised his hands in the surprised gaze of the officers on the side.

He knew what the chariot looked like.

It is better to surrender to the forces of the alliance than to be captured by the soldiers of the Borneo state.

Looking at the interesting guy in front of him, the mole grinned the corners of his mouth.

"Dude, you're lucky to have us."

Those who catch alive can get a big score, and the higher the level, the higher the score.

The points rewarded by the expansion can eventually be exchanged for money and contribution points, so players who can generally catch them alive will basically not be too embarrassed to capture, especially veteran players.

But if you change to the friendly army next door, it's different, the beaten nose and face are all light.

Throwing this sentence down, the mole did not have time to admire the expression on the captive's face, and slipped back into the turret to cover the hatch.

Immediately afterward, several players with assault rifles emerged from behind the tank and detained the Velante officers with their heads in their hands one by one.

All the captives were gathered in the center of the village, guarded by two squads of players.

As for the rest of the players, they got into the infantry chariot and followed the tank to continue their advance.

The Goblin Corps' planes had already marked their next location, and there were a whole bunch of walking contribution points ahead for them to pick up.

At the same time, shortly after the Skeletons left the village, a group of hapless Willantes were captured by the guards led by Captain Pickery himself on a small dirt slope not far from the village.

The two hundred people surrounded the twenty people tightly, and the entire encirclement was stunned and there was no gap left.

The twenty Willant guys lying behind the bunker broke through three times, but they didn't do anything other than throw down three corpses.

Seeing that reinforcements were delayed and the bullets in their hands were running out, the expressions on the faces of the seventeen young men gradually changed from the initial fortitude to despair.

Resistance has lost its meaning.

Eventually, someone recognized the reality and tried to throw the rifle out of the trench, shouting and raising his hands to climb out of the trench and surrender.

However, he had barely shouted the words of surrender, and before he could crawl out of the trench, he was hit in the head by the rifle that had been thrown back.

"Grandma's! Who allowed you to surrender! Pick up the gun for Lao Tzu! ”

"Aren't you guys very capable? Keep fighting! ”

He himself picked up the rifle and threw it back, and Pickley swore and inserted the rifle into the holster, then snatched the rifle from the guard next to him and inserted the bayonet.

"Upper bayonet !!"

The sudden roar startled the adjutant who was standing nearby.

There was simply no time to stop it.

Seeing that bastard rushing up, he could only shout "rush" and hurriedly followed.

Led by Captain Pickery, the two hundred brothers of the guard roared and swarmed up, chopping the seventeen Willant boys hiding in the trenches into a pulp.

Pickley, who has personally entered the battle, has completely killed the red eye.

When he walked down from the position with one head on his hand, he happened to be photographed by the reporters accompanying the army.

Seeing the camera facing him, Pickley grinned.

That bloodied appearance was like a killing god who had come out of hell.

This guy is really ruthless enough.

There were many Borneo officers who dared to lead the charge himself, but it was indeed rare for a captain to dare to rush into the crowd to fight bayonets like him, at least his boss, General Duvata, would never dare.

The fire that burned in the wilderness burned all night, blackening the earth and melting steel into molten iron, until the sun rose at dawn.

According to the battle report of the alliance, in this battle alone, the Southern Army suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and the loss of light and heavy vehicles reached more than 1,200.

For the Borneo country, which has been under pressure for several months, this battle can be described as a high-raising victory!

By 8 a.m., the last recalcitrant 1,000-man team had surrendered.

Hearing the news of the victory at the front, Absek, who had not slept all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the basement of the Commandery's Mansion in good spirits.

However, before he could rejoice, a piece of bad news came from the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace, which was hanging more than ten meters in mid-air, was about to collapse in twenty-four hours......
