Chapter 983: Colonial Ships
The huge hull suspended in mid-air has a total length of 3.23 kilometers in front and rear, a width of 1.71 kilometers on the left and right, and a height of 897 meters up and down. With such a huge hull, the original body of the snake king Odessa is far inferior except for the length. Converted into volume, the current Odessa is several times more than the original body of the Snake King.
The exterior of the ship is very similar to the SDF-1_Macross in the classic animation in the memory of a certain traverser, with sharp edges and corners, and four prongs in front. The main guns are the two longest forks in front of the hull, and the design should be the magnetic field generating device of the plasma gun. The length alone accounts for one-third of the length of the ship, and you can imagine how powerful it is.
There is a semi-covered flight deck on the left and right sides, which is connected to the main hull by side passages. The outer side of the ship is not a smooth armor surface, but is full of turrets and machine gun mounts. On the side of any ship, there are at least five rows of upper and lower gun emplacements or gun mounts; The belly and roof of the ship are also equipped with secondary guns, and the caliber is larger and more numerous. Odessa almost armed itself into a hedgehog.
Behind the hull are two huge ion thrusters, boxy, side by side. There are also a lot of rear-facing batteries, and as if to make up for the lack of main guns in the rear, the rear-facing batteries are more hideous than the side and front-facing ones, both in terms of number and caliber.
To be honest, the structural design chosen by Odessa is rather unreasonable. Despite the fact that the universe is close to a vacuum, there is still quite thin matter. If you want to fly at extreme speed in space, you still need to pay attention to fluid mechanics. But Odessa's hull has a lot of unrefined features, as well as strange contour construction.
But...... This SDF-1-like hull can also be transformed into a super-giant robot.
Ignore the suspected articulation structures, and the number of turret mounts. The hull built by Odessa is not a 'warship' in the strict sense of the word, but a colonial ship used for long-distance migration, but it is only full of force......
This is very much in line with the connotation of the SDF-1_Macross appearance. In the original anime, the interior of the early model of the Macross also has a residential area. Of course, you have to ignore the question of how a spaceship can create a gravity-like environment similar to that of Earth......
Moreover, it is not surprising that Odessa would choose such a structural design. Because of his original form, he is one of the very few elemental creature settlements in the earth elemental plane that does not occupy a resourced land, and is the only 'settlement' that can move. Now that he has been replaced by a mechanical body, he is still accustomed to having living quarters and sheltering his companions.
And the elemental creatures that were invested in the construction of the ship's hull in Odessa do not seem to be dead now. Perhaps their bodies had become part of the new ship, but the indiscriminate turrets, the rotating gun mounts, one had a gut feeling that they were all the embodiment of the sacrificial elemental creatures.
In other words, the group of little guys were inexplicably transformed by Tinder with Odessa and became a member of the robot race. It's just that their appearance is different from that of ordinary robots, and they are also fixed to the hull by Odessa. I don't know if they have any other forms of bodies, or if they just serve as a turret or machine gun mount for the rest of their lives.
Take back the fire that has been transformed and lost its strength to support it. Lin flashed back to Fen's side. And around the lich is a scene that I don't know whether to say ridiculous or admirable.
None of the robots were intact, and at least one arm was thrown. The most is to tear off one of his arms, two legs, head and half of his body, and throw them into the furnace of Odessa achievement. And some of the weapons and equipment embedded in the plug-in, of course, there is not a single piece left. All became part of the ship.
It can be said that except for not throwing away their own nuclear reactors, everything else that can be thrown is thrown out by organic people. It's all about the giant thing in the sky.
But after the construction of the Serpent King's new body was completed, the robots reacted as if they wondered why they did it. None of them were intact. Although it is said that as long as the substance is replenished, with the assistance of a mechanic or fire, the original appearance can be restored in minutes. However, for a race hungry for evolution and growth, this level of sacrifice should be an inconceivable choice.
Not to mention that they themselves doubt themselves, as bystanders...... Someone who started it, just as curious about what they thought.
Before she could withdraw her curious eyes, Fen didn't have time to say something to someone, when suddenly a happy mood burrowed into everyone's chest. It's as if the spirit that used to belong to heavy metal rock 'n' roll has infected everyone even though it can't deliver sound.
In a daze, in thought, conscious or unconscious, everyone present looked up at the source of the excitement, the giant ship in the sky. And Odessa and his parasites rejoiced as if they were celebrating a new life.
Maybe the huge hull is inconvenient to make any movements to express happiness, it is said that in the era of the Snake King, he rarely used body movements to express his feelings. But the little ones, who have become one with the Serpent King, were originally just excitedly swinging the new turret body, or swaying the machine gun mount from side to side. At this moment of joy in unison, they aimed their muzzles and muzzles at the sky, not shaking or shaking.
The words 'should not' pop up in someone's mind, and they saw the main cannon that was big enough to kill people directly, and the cannon was full of electric light. The strong magnetic field shifted, and even the surrounding metal material beat uneasily. The people stared at the sky in amazement, where the giant ship was.
The time to recharge energy is not long, but the people who are waiting with bated breath seem to have spent a lifetime. The moment of relief was the moment when the main cannon fired.
The plasma flow formed under the confinement of the magnetic field is also driven outward by the magnetic field!
It's not that the people haven't used plasma guns, and even equipped with them, and there are quite a few people who have actually fired them. But there has never been a plasma cannon like pushing a small sun, even if it is just looking directly, as if it will burn your eyes.
A flash of plasma cannon streaked across the sky. At the same time, the guns of the nascent hull of Odessa were fully fired, and a grand salvo into the sky came!
Lin knew that this was done to test the reliability of the weapon system and to verify that the attrition scenario was as designed. After the birth of every robot, they will try to do this, but there has never been such a big scene. Odessa and his partners are more like trying to prove something with this salvo.
Proof that they were indeed born into this world?
Or do you want to prove that they have achieved the power of no one before or since?
Or do you want to prove to other robots that this place has thick arms and big fists, and is the best backer?
No matter what kind of caution Odessa had, seeing the behemoth in the sky launch a salvo, the people were stunned.
In the beginning, it was Cologne, the most superstitious of all the mechs, the most superstitious of all the mechs, the guy with a Gatling gun in his fingers. Then one, two, three, four, until all the people cheered. A few words circulated in the spirit waves of the machine:
Caliber is justice!
There is an axiom in range!
Firepower is king!
Ula!
Then replace someone with deep self-doubt. The lich, who was standing aside, ruthlessly uncovered the scar and asked, "Did you ever think that all this would turn out to be such a bad situation?" ”
