Abyss Express

Huotang Square in Hefeng Town was already crowded with brothers from the Kuai Dao Foreign Affairs Team. Fourteen sets of waterproof canvas set up independent partitions for each engineering machinery group - this is the logistics system that was sent to Shambhala along with a series of armor equipment from [материализм·Materialism].

"Where is the teacher?" Billy the Kid hugged a big frog's shock-absorbing walking axle and asked Foianini, "I'm fucking asking you! Where is the teacher?!"

Foianini is still checking the sequential gearbox of the [материализм·Materialism] series diesel engine unit, busy in front of the simple cast iron frame table.

"Do you have a nitrogen tank? There is too much mud. We need to clean it first."

Billy scolded: "I'm asking you where the hell the teacher is!"

"We're in a meeting!" Foianini responded casually without raising his head: "Pay attention! Brother! According to Keshuai's battle plan, the big frog has to leave tonight."

"At night?! Tonight?" Billy was dumbfounded after hearing this, and raised the cracked foot shock absorber: "Where can I find components for him? The spring production standard for this thing is SK7 quenched alloy steel! This is the hell of a place. Iron sand mine - what can I use to make hot-rolled round steel for him? There is not even a steel-making furnace here, let alone the large baskets suspended by belt gantry required in the steel rolling workshop!"

Foianini came out holding a set of old gears from the sequential gearbox and glanced sideways.

"The axle is cracked, it's not that the spring is broken, and the constant temperature damping device (the shock absorber oil needs a suitable working temperature. In some extreme environments, such as extremely cold and hot conditions, the shock absorber oil temperature can be It’s not bad to rely on chemicals like nitrogen tanks to maintain).”

Billy pushed the cracked shaft onto the workbench hard, and a cloud of sand spurted out from the pressure relief valve of the shaft, followed by a clear whistling sound - this meant that the barrel core and oil of the shock absorber rod were all gone. It is working normally, but its rod body is cracked.

The sand splashed onto Billy the Kid's face, and he immediately turned red and felt angry.

"Except for this? How many things has he broken?"

Foianini was already carrying a welding gun and took out a new set of straight teeth. He did not intend to throw away the old ones, but chose to use them as mold parts - he wanted to show the teacher something of the new era.

"The outer armor of the entire right arm is gone, the two main gun ammunition feeders are short-circuited, and the electronic control chips of the central control, mechanical platform, oil pump and broadcast tower are all scrapped. Except for the purely mechanical structure of the cable assembly, The joint group, the canopy is gone along with the entire multimedia front view.”

"Huh?" Billy exclaimed, "Huh?! Huh?!"

Foianini: "Two millimeter-wave radars, one main thermal imaging and one secondary thermal imaging, plus a full-view camera. Oh, by the way, the auxiliary fuel tank also exploded."

Billy: "Huh?!"

Foianini: "According to the narration from the ground crew that day, this materialism suffered an EMP. Originally, its electromechanical management center was responsible for dispatching and controlling the temperature. After all the electronic control chips were scrapped, in fact, most of the The frog should be laying down soon, it can't go this far."

At this point, Foianini used a nitrogen spray gun to sweep away a cloud of mud outside the casing of the sequential gearbox.

"But it rained that night, and the firewall of its auxiliary fuel tank was almost burned through. It was a miracle that it could continue to fight. It seems that the goddess of luck still favors the brave."

"Stop being in a daze! Brother Billy!"

Foianini urged——

"——I'm not asking you to practice alone, so be sober!"

He opened the curtain of the barracks in the work area and pointed at the bare armor skeleton in the fire pit. The outer armor of the big frog, the scrapped electronic control unit, the ammunition box and the main engine, including the mini nuclear reactor, were also dismantled. Kuai Dao has nearly two hundred people, all of whom are serving this machine.

"Okay." Billy Boy said with a sad smile: "At first, I thought we were running to guard the post."

"It's not that simple." Foianini put on his goggles, straightened his arms, and saw a spiritual arm holding up the parts of the sequential gearbox, and then began the repair welding and polishing work: "Let's run to Sendai. Follow Leslie to demonstrate the machining technology of the spirit body - we can use the spirit body to build a simple steam engine. The accuracy of the piston and valve pipes can be improved, and the thermal efficiency can also be improved. However, the admiral looks down on this foreign machine. Tricks, keep doing psychic things.”

"This matter is not that simple. Let Sendai Mansion accept new things and use new tools to make things."

"But it would be too difficult for people to change their minds, replace all the old masters in the workshops, and drive away the master Huanglong who lectures in the temple."

"That's what I thought at the beginning. I think scientific progress should be a good thing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this method can work - these machines can benefit mankind."

"But afterwards, neither Keshuai nor Mr. Plak said anything, and the admiral didn't want to talk any more."

"I knew at this point that this road would not work."

Billy also greeted the spirit body, began to compare the size and shape of the cracks in the shaft body, wrote a document to request materials, and decided to recast a shock absorber spindle. He said to Foianini: "The way you speak is simpler! I can't understand. !”

"Hey." Foianini turned on his phone and used the Iron Craftsman APP on his phone to measure the macro and calculate the size. He casually explained: "We come with the modern craftsmanship of the Nine Realms and the new production method, but This Sendai family has a great business, and everyone in this company relies on the admiral and Huanglong Immortal to make a living."

"Their relatives, elders, children, and grandchildren all work in the company doing operation and maintenance work. Some of them are also department leaders. It is almost impossible to turn such a big ship around."

"It's like a primitive tribe. The elders in the clan often give guidance to the young people and teach them how to farm and hunt. But with the arrival of this big machine, the elders of the clan can't do the simple chores - how can they keep their seats in the ancestral hall?"

"There is definitely no need to talk about this matter. It's just that I didn't expect that Mr. Wood Placker would use the pretext of business investment to bring us in openly - and the work in the first month was the same as during the expedition. Overthrow this nameless decisive weapon."

Billy smiled and said: "Have you regained some feeling?"

"Is that possible? I dream that one day I can sit in its cockpit." Foianini responded with a smile: "I have tried so many cars before and after, but this thing is not something that ordinary people can drive. , there are too many touch-operated gear lever cable switches on the mechanical platform - how the hell did the Soviets design them in the first place."

Billy yelled, "I can't even step on the accelerator!"

"Are you ready for shock absorbers?" Foianini asked about business.

"Where is this? There are no materials! Its shaft is also made of high-carbon alloy steel above 0.6. It is a load-bearing part and cannot be welded." Billy stretched his neck, just wrote the material ratio, and went to Fuiani Ni looked straight at him: "What are you doing? Add material first and then subtract material? Do you still plan to use the broken straight teeth?"

"Nothing." Foianini dug out two rolls of PA66 base material in the workshop: "I want to make some plastic - the teacher always disliked me and said I was addicted to plastic toys. In fact, there are reasons for this. .”

"Steel is the cornerstone for mankind to open the door to the industrial revolution, and plastic is the king of materials in the atomic energy age."

"PA66 plus 10% carbon fiber, and then 5% silicone oil, can create an ultra-polymer material with wear resistance, hardness, and toughness at the same time. In addition to this little magic, there is also PEKK polyether Ketone, UPE polyethylene wear plate.”

"Compared with steel that requires large machines with temperatures of thousands of degrees to produce at every turn, making glue does not require any heavy work - it has more stringent requirements on working temperature, but it can always last for a while when there is a shortage of materials. .”

"Using polymer materials to make gearbox gears?" Billy thought Foianini was crazy.

"At the earliest, the gunsmith teacher wanted to use titanium-plated steel wire to make bullet-proof armor." Foianini knocked on his head, with a proud face: "No one said he was crazy."

Billy: "This is different. In addition to the outer armor, the Morpho Cloth also has an inner armor. Oh. Oh. I. Seem."

"Our spirits are very obedient. The accuracy of the workpiece within the plus and minus three wires is not a problem. The sandwich casting method of plastic-coated steel can also be done." Foianini patiently explained: "The shifting logic of the sequential gearbox It is very clear that it is not like a civilian vehicle. Its gear shifting process is purely mechanical impact, which is the meshing between gears - the wear resistance of the gears is very high."

"We have only seen this kind of transmission set in rally cars. Kuai Dao also has mechanics who specialize in engines. Come and try it!"

At this time, Corporal Shark came to the UC-05 work group with a summons bell.

It carries the corresponding bell and brings the service engineers to Billy. If Kuai Dao encounters any difficulties in the process of repairing and maintaining the big frog, he can use the summons bell to organize and dispatch.

"Brother Billy! What's going on!"

Billy handed over the document, which stated the minimum production conditions and materials required for SK7-like quenched alloy steel, including the steel standards that could be replaced by the same type.

"Received!" Shasha stuffed the receipt into the logbook and wrote down another copy on his laptop. There were about thirty messenger sergeants like him at the frontline stronghold in Hefeng Town.

On the other side, the sentries led by Hefeng in the direction of Zhuzhou Prefecture and the sentries in the direction of Taiye all have an intelligence system independent of the elixir.

Although they do not have telephone lines, they do have six mini-radio stations that barely passed the Sendai Port inspection. The sending power can cover the entire Hefeng Town at most, which is enough for dispatching soldiers and sending orders.

In the command post in Mujiazhuang, clear bells would ring from time to time——

——The summons bell is a very useful communication tool, even if the information it conveys is very limited.

Anonymous brought more than 1,460 summons bells this time. You must know that the transportation department in the entire underground world should have a total of about 120,000 summons bells left for passengers. This time they were able to bring so many bells. , has reached the budget limit of each transportation department.

This kind of psychic prop can compile a set of cipher text with the simplest ringtone. It can use the telegraph cipher, or it can be a more efficient unilateral credit code, which is used for unilateral orders from the command without receiving any reply. ——For example, shaking it once means attacking, shaking it twice means retreating, which is much faster than the alphabet layout of the Morse code translation. You can also combine the two, wait until the soldiers find a temporary stronghold, and then conduct complex information communication.

This simple and easy-to-use radio system is almost a dimensionality reduction blow to Shambhala's opponents in the theater.

"The moment the summons bell rang, the nature of the war had changed." In the conference room, Keshuai talked about this ciphertext compilation system, and at the same time distributed ciphertext and codeword manuals to the soldiers of the Anonymous Department. How to use this system The rules stated, "We have a radio station, a complete set of services, 4,400 people, and more than 800 combatants - there is a blood jade Bodhisattva statue as a medical supply for the sick and injured in the stronghold."

"I only have more than 670 offensive units under my command, and the rest are defensive forces that take turns on duty."

Xueming immediately asked: "Is it too little?"

"I have never fought such a poor battle in my life, commanding more than 600 people? This job is too simple." Keshuai was in a stable mood and very cheerful: "Don't worry about the problems in the rear area, the reinforcements from Sendai Prefecture are constant. of."

"It may look like we are alone, but in fact it is a battle of position."

With that said, Keshuai flattened the map of the Great Southeast, put on his psychic imaging glasses, held the war chess constructed by [Phoenix] in his hand, and used the war chess to lay out a bright red line along the Copper River Basin and surrounding mountains. line.

"This is a 766-kilometer-long front. The landforms and hydrology from Taiye to Guanzhong have been clearly investigated. We are not unprepared or ignorant."

"In the large port of Sendai Prefecture, the thieves headed by True Lord Huanglong have been punished, but General Liu Zhen, who holds the military power, has not surrendered and is still going to fight a tug of war——"

"——This is not an armed conflict that can be solved by a few VIPs. Strong ships and guns are needed to solve this problem. After that, Sendai and Zhuzhou will be the starting points, starting from Eureka Volcano City, there will be a steady stream of Good brothers come to this land to fight.”

"In the first stage of the battle, the core program is actually the same at the beginning. We will spend a month and a half walking a thousand kilometers to the Wuling Mountain area, destroying all the elixir caves we can find along the way, and fighting against the Wuling Mountain get in touch."

"According to reliable intelligence information, Judas will need at least thirty elixirs to awaken the Cauldron of Dagda."

One of Kuai Dao's foreign affairs team leaders asked: "Keshuai, why is it thirty?"

"The psionic configuration created by the Cauldron of Dagda is like this. It has twelve pyroxene slots. According to research by the psionic researchers of the Secret Library - these pyroxenes will construct a Mel in the Holy Grail. Kaba (God's Chariot/Holy Cube) field. It requires thirty spiritual energy nodes."

"Judas betrayed Jesus with thirty pieces of silver. These thirty elixirs were the necessary props for this guy to redeem himself and ascend to heaven."

Saying this——

——Keshuai pushed out a stack of yellow pages documents from the big table under the sand table. Each number represented a group and a task. Clerks from different groups lead different teams to belong to.

"Your phased tasks are in this set of documents, including the required armor bombs, attack plans, intelligence collection and personnel dispatch, casualty treatment and evacuation routes, emergency measures for adverse psychic reactions - and most importantly Yes, you must read the secret text of the summons bell for the team leader and commander clearly and memorize it all."

"In this combat environment, we have a set of mature radio stations, the ability to communicate with each other, and thermal weapons that are two to three hundred years ahead of this era. Although the soil salt and metallurgical workshops in Hefeng Town have not yet been set up, There should be some problems with the supply line in the early stage - but we have the best mechanics from the Anonymous and the most powerful small arms team in the entire underground world."

"As long as you gain a foothold here, even if there is no train, I can still find a way to deliver you to a war zone two hundred kilometers away."

"When facing the enemy, you are stars in the sky and gods descending to earth."

"Avatar?"

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

Just when Mr. Wood Placker and Luo Ping'an caught the Chaos Immortal studying hard, they were discussing life ideals with Kun Wu at the headquarters.

Billy boy was already sweating profusely. He finished the two shock absorbers of the big frog, repaired the outer armor, repaired the engine, and when repairing the cabin valve - everyone knew that the materials produced by Billy's workshop were not bad, so they immediately occupied his workshop. , and took away the forge that the brothers had built.

There is another mission waiting for Billy and Foianini.

When the two received the Yellow Pages document bag, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. The repair work of the various work groups on the big frog had come to an end. The machine still lacked important electronic control units, but it had been reassembled. The original right The arms were bare steel muscles, powered by a diesel engine—now the arms were covered with a glowing yellow tin-copper alloy outer armor. It's not as reliable as armor steel, but it's better than nothing.

Without resting, the two immediately followed the engineering unit to climb to the height of the rock platform in Hefeng Ling, climbed a mountain more than 380 meters high, and came to a cliff.

The gunsmith and 9527 have regained their energy and want to return to Taiye City.

Keshuai and the staff team are fully prepared for this difficult attack. The gunsmith's mission is to enter the core area of ​​Taiye City, paralyze the city's regional armed forces, and obtain the elixir of the prefect - according to Kunwu's intelligence According to the description, with the Yin Yang Qiankun Sect as the leader, there are more than 300 blood donation units in the city, and at least 16 psykers who have reached the pupa stage.

The road to Bodhisattva Valley is no longer accessible. After Kunwu was captured, this checkpoint occupied two highland natural dangers, Taiyin Mountain and Yangheguan, as well as a moat.

As for this idea of ​​a god descending to earth——

——From the orderly lady of the Raven Chapter, to the Anonymous Knife Troop, she then personally tied two "lifelines" to Billy. This lifeline was the rope of the powered paraglider.

"Fly over?!" Billy is not afraid of fighting, he has already been prepared. As a gunsmith's apprentice, he has always been influenced by Morpho butterflies when he was with his teacher. Now that he has reached the late stage of cocooning, he will soon have complete spiritual limbs.

From the northern foot of Hefengling Ridge to Taiye, there is a complex valley and woodland. The road environment is complex and dangerous, but it is only less than fifty miles away from Taiye in a straight line.

The southeast wind in summer allows paragliders to take them into the city. There is no moon in this world, and there are no observation balloons. Taiye County has no concept of air defense at all.

"Hey! Brother! Are you scared?" The little sister arranged the weight on Brother Billy and stuffed the water bottle and military rations into the appropriate weight points.

Billy secretly glanced at the teacher: "Me! Of course I'm not afraid."

As a psyker, Foianini also wanted to participate in this airborne operation. After memorizing the map and getting the summons bell belonging to the combat group, he saw the warriors running quickly and flying out of the ledge, disappearing in the dark night. There was no trace, and I was still a little scared.

"I'm afraid of heights."

The turbulent mountain wind made his eyes hurt. After a while, he saw the young lady packing Billy's belongings and coming to Foianini's side: "How about we come together?"

Foianini: "Can we still be together?"

"I am a warrior of Kuai Knife." The young lady tied up her hair and looked like she was only in her early twenties: "This airborne beheading mission requires working with the gunsmith. This is a job that can be obtained from the organization department with a sharp head. Where is my son! I want to live in the same moment as the legend! What? You don’t want to do it?"

Foianini looked at the teacher. The teacher said nothing and was concentrating on memorizing the signal.

"that."

"Girl! You want to go skydiving with him?" Billy was immediately unhappy.

"It's not skydiving, it's gliding!" The young lady smiled and pinched Foianini's arm: "I think he is quite thin? This paraglider was made by our team under the guidance of Teacher Wood. The maximum load is It’s more than four hundred kilograms, and Teacher Wood has said that it’s best to work in groups of two—the heavier one will fly more steadily.”

Foianini: "That's a great feeling! What's your name, little sister?"

Before he finished speaking, Billy hugged Foianini——

——He stuffed his good friend into the paraglider’s plastic straps like a baby and hung it on his chest.

Then he pulled the rope hard and ran quickly, and the entire takeoff process was completed in one go.

Then he saw the dark umbrella cloth expand and expand, and another pair of soldiers climbed into the sky.

The gunsmith asked: "Did they bring a summons bell?"

When the young lady saw Foianini running away, she looked helpless and replied casually: "Take it with you!"

Xiao Qi muttered in a low voice: "Billy is really wicked. If he doesn't have a good time, he won't have it as well as his brothers."

Xueming checked the equipment for the last time and took out a full set of equipment from the weapon box. This time he would not have to endure hardship when he returned to Taiye.

Diwana and Jingguang had one hundred and twenty bullets prepared, and sixteen dust crystal flechettes.

Chen Jing No. 1 is buckled on the back, and Jing Guang's secondary weapon is hung on MOLLE's chest.

He buttoned up the visor of the Morpho suit and saw the white-faced clown seal made for him by Ghost.

The radio function is disabled, but the night vision goggles and thermal imaging can clearly see all the comrades in the sky——

"--Walk."

Xiaoqi was also fully armed. With the help of the service team, these two VIP units wearing Morpho armor were back to back. Xueming carried his wife on his back and flew into the sky.

I heard a strange sound of "didi-didi--" in my ears.

Xiao Qi asked after flying less than a hundred meters.

"What's the sound?"

Xueming was at the helm, patiently explaining to his wife.

"The paramotor can not only glide, but also climb. This sound is a reminder to find updrafts during gliding. The faster the frequency, the greater the pressure on the parachute rope. We follow the wind and rise to the sky - we can gain altitude. , but it takes a detour.”

Xiao Qi took off his helmet and couldn't see her husband's face. She only knew that she was swinging in the sky. There seemed to be nothing except the lights of Hefeng Town. "How long will we fly?"

Xueming stared closely at Taiye ahead, only thirty kilometers away.

"At the current speed, we can get there in just over an hour."

Xiao Qi: "So slow?"

"The paramotor can only fly so fast. If there is a favorable wind." Jiang Xueming thought for a while: "In about forty minutes, we can fly across the Bodhisattva Valley to the prefect's mansion."

Xiaoqi: "Is there any support?"

Jiang Xueming: "According to the instructions in the mission briefing, if another group of attack units can complete the mission ahead of schedule, a materialist will come to help us."

Xiaoqi: "Big frog?!"

Jiang Xueming: "No, it came from the river. It should be Red Salamander, another car crew."

"Corporal Shark! The battle in Eureka Volcano City was fascinating! It's an honor to fight alongside you again!"

Liu Weiqiang opened the hatch cover of the Red Salamander and wrote his blood type next to the hatch of the cabin, so that medical staff could conduct rescue operations if Mrs. Bai’s products were not available.

This old uncle who is nearly fifty years old has returned to the front line again——

——He and the little shark, who was familiar with the underwater sound and light environment, got into the steel again.

"Can you drive this thing?!" Shark Shark finished the last set of moisturizing measures, greased his head, and put on his diving helmet: "The best commander in the world!"

"Hahahahaha!" Liu Weiqiang laughed loudly: "In Galahad! Knight combat skills special training class! I drive thirty times every day! Sixty-three thousand simulated tests! Just for this moment!"

Shark turned on the gunnery system of the mechanical platform and sat side by side with Brother Qiang in the spacious cabin.

The two old brothers, one big and one small, fist-bumped and greeted each other. The bright red steel monster stepped into the water veins step by step. Under the watchful eyes of the service team, it stepped onto the beach of the Taiyin Mountain Canal and slowly headed towards the canal water in Taiye County. Pulse goes.

"Brother Billy once told me something, Captain!"

"Um?"

"The best sound in the world is the clicking of high heels!~"

"Hahahahaha! He must be confused by women! I can understand! I feel the same way!"

"You think so too?! Maybe I'm still young and I don't understand!"

"Yes! You are still young!"

"Captain! Listen to this! Listen to this!"

There is a low-frequency hum coming from the Red Salamander's nuclear power furnace, its power engine slowly increases the speed, there is a sudden pushing sensation on the back when the gearbox is in gear and accelerated, and the propellers of the armor's feet rotate rapidly—— The clear sound of metal meshing spread far under the water, scaring away the fish.

Shark squinted his eyes, revealing a pair of sharp teeth from his diving helmet.

"This is the best fucking voice in the world!"

In mid-air, Foianini hung on Billy, and he felt like he had no love left in his life.

"I almost got someone's phone number! Billy!"

Billy: "Pay attention, don't move, I'm going to speed up."

Foianini: "You know where to fly! Why?! Why? I didn't even ask her name!"

Billy: "It's so windy! I can't hear you!"

Foianini: "You can't do this to me! You've been in love after all! There's Faye Frosalin in your heart! Is this over before it even begins?!"

"You don't understand the wisdom of big brother. Big brother has been here before. This is good for you." Billy explained: "Do you really want to fly with this young lady born in 100s? Are you still thinking about fighting? Aren’t you afraid of death?”

Foianini thought for a long time——

"——It seems so."

We are almost overcoming the disease!
