The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Alicia, this looks a bit difficult..."

And Alicia Yugudora Hill beside her had already taken off her outer coat, revealing the hunting jacket she was wearing inside—it was a short jacket that looked like a nomad.Not only that, but she also took off the wool cover on her tail, and raised her ears up again, holding a bow in her left hand and three arrows in her right, and regarded the cold wind as nothing.

There was a certain charm in that look.

It is true that Cardinal Ugdola Hill usually lacks exercise, but the archery skills he has learned since he was a child are still not easily forgotten.After all, for nobles, this is a skill as important as ballroom dancing, and it is a kind of etiquette.She put the first arrow on the bow, slowly pulled it away, and the shaft of the arrow lightly slid across the finger:

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the ancestors of Katari used this to climb to the top of the food chain. We used this to hunt for food and fight with each other..." Bai Nen's fingers caught the string, and the fully drawn bow made a slight sound. Her eyes were wide open. Yuanyuan said, "Our civilization was born in battle and competition, and the way of life at that time has been preserved in the form of [culture]."

Oregana watched her movements - she held the bow in her left hand, but the arrow shaft was on the right side of the bow, which seemed different from what she remembered.

In my memory, the pointed ear in "The Lord of Fingers" seems to be pointing the arrow to the left?

Alicia took a deep breath, and the cold air entered her lungs, which made people feel refreshed.In the next moment, she raised the angle sharply, and released the bowstring at the diagonally upward——

The melodious strings have not yet dissipated, and the second arrow has been aimed straight ahead.

It was an astonishing speed, and the two strings almost overlapped each other.The first arrow drew a parabola, while the second flew forward at an almost horizontal angle. They were obviously shot separately, but the two arrows hit the target almost at the same time. Above the circle, the second arrow hit the center with a dull, dull sound.

"Oh!" Oregana's eyes widened. She had heard that the Cathars were good at archery, but she didn't expect Alicia to have such skills. She sincerely praised, "It's amazing!"

That's how it is... This is something that can only be done if the arrow is placed on the right side.

If you hold the bow in your left hand and put the arrow on the left side, you must make a cross movement when you shoot the arrow. There is no way to achieve this level of rapid shooting. (Note ①)

The pointed-eared Ipum people next door who look like they can shoot arrows don't have this skill-wait, the Katari people also have pointy ears, right?Those two on the top of the head?

While thinking this way, Alicia drew the longbow for the third time. She took a breath, held her breath, her ears trembled slightly, and her eyes narrowed.Her hands were as steady as steel, and the cold wind by the lake made the hairs on her main ears shake slightly. When the wind subsided, she gently loosened the tight bowstring.

The arrowheads of the first two arrows are slender and tapered, while the third arrow is a broad and flat hunting arrowhead - in ancient times, people used this kind of arrowhead for hunting, as long as they hit, this kind of arrow like a knife can cause a larger wound than a cone-shaped arrow.But now, its target is not a panicked beast, but a more difficult target...

The nock of the second arrow.

At a slight falling angle, it hit the tail feather of the previous arrow, and cut it in a straight line.The wooden arrow shaft was cut obliquely, and when the blunt sound of hitting the target came, half of the arrow shaft had already leisurely landed on the snow below.

Are you Robin Hood? Hello!

Oregana was dumbfounded—she wouldn't be surprised if you say that professional athletes or people who make a living shoot such arrows, but what does this cat do?The big nobles, their daily work is to sit in front of the desk with a small dried fish in their mouths, reviewing documents and stamping their seals, the kind of sitting for a day.It turned out that he could still shoot arrows with a bow?

The people next to him just cheered, not surprised... Is this kind of technique common in Katari? !

Relying on the fact that he also has pointed ears, he is a guy who messes around with his talent! (refer to)

Oregana looked at the cow cat, and was seeing her shivering with the help of her sister, putting on her warm coat and tail cover... This part of the impression is very restored.

"Come and try?" After putting her clothes back on again, Alicia pulled her ears down again, and while exhaling hot air into her hands, she walked up to Oregana with small steps, urging, "Try it? "

Oregana raised her bow—she always felt a little uncomfortable without sights...well, it wasn't as simple as being uncomfortable, but simply not knowing what to do.Moreover, this clone is for daily use, and there is no implant for auxiliary computing—even if it is implanted, it will be useless. She knows very well that there must be no reference data for bows and arrows in the database.

Draw the bowstring... wait!This is to provide thrust for the arrow. If it is a gun, it is equivalent to the charge of the cartridge, right?If you take that target as your goal, how far should you draw it?And wind direction, gravity, how should these be calculated?

Simply, she left all these complicated things behind her, aimed at the target with her feeling, and let go of the bowstring.

There was a surprised exclamation from the side...

The arrow is greatly to the right...

The 30-meter target has a deviation of more than five meters, which is indeed quite surprising.If it's a space war, when the guns are fired at each other at [-] kilometers, and the beam fired by someone is [-] kilometers away from the target, the commander will jump up and scold his mother.

"Hmm..." She put down her bow embarrassingly, and smiled awkwardly, "It's so far away."

But Alicia stepped forward with a smile, supported Oregana's left wrist with one hand and raised the bow, and placed one hand gently on her right shoulder:

"Come on," the two of them approached each other naturally, and the cat's voice sounded next to their ears, "Keep your eyes on the target, let's target one and shoot two..."

"Woo?" Although this kind of closeness was a bit sudden, Oregana didn't hate it.

Her voice is kind and soft:

"My mother taught me this way when I was a child. She said that drawing a bow is like governing a country. The most important thing is to keep your eyes on the goal at all times... When you keep your eyes on that goal, the original is in front of you. The only path that seems to be there—that is, the arrow—would create a virtual image.”

Indeed, Oregana felt the body temperature and touch through the clothes, blinked and looked at the target - when the focus was on the target, the arrow split into two.This is the result of stereoscopic parallax. Due to the difference in pupillary distance and gaze angle, there is a certain degree of horizontal error in the images on the left and right retinas.

When viewing an object, the image of the object falls on the corresponding points of the two retinas to form a single, clear object, and the brain will help you calculate the distance based on the parallax.When the focus is on the target, the nearby arrows will appear double.

"However, these virtual images are not the correct path. They are too extreme, and extremes will lead astray..." She gently guided, pushed Oregana's back with her shoulders, made her straighten up, and put her cheek against Together "Only the road hidden in the middle of the two extremes is correct, but it is not easy to find, you have to calculate with your heart and feel with your heart."

If you only look up close, you will be limited by what seems to be the only way, so keep your eyes on the target.

But in the process of pursuing the goal, you will be blinded by extreme thinking, because "extreme" is the easiest to understand, but this is not necessarily correct, so you must think carefully, discern, and use the existing methods as a framework , to find the most correct way from 'none'.

Oregana couldn't help but nodded——

So, is this the so-called culture?

The wisdom condensed over a long period of time has been integrated into a tradition from ancient times to the present, and has been passed down.That is not material, but spiritual treasure.

"Aim the middle of the two arrows at the bull's-eye, feel the wind direction with your ears, keep your body balanced with your tail..."

"We don't have such convenient ears and tails."

"Then let me help you." She smiled lightly, and leaned even tighter. "Hold the bow and straighten your left hand..."

Alicia slowly adjusted Oregana's gestures, she moved the bow slightly to the left, and said softly:

"It's now."

Oregana took a deep breath, kept her hands from shaking as much as possible, and then let go of the bowstring.

Accompanied by the sound of heavy strings, the arrow drew an arc and fell towards the target, and finally landed on the target—it was only the second circle, and did not fall to the center.However, compared with the previous deviation of more than five meters, a deviation of [-] centimeters is no longer a problem.

"bingo!"

"How does it feel?"

How should I put it, this feeling is hard to describe, Oregana thought for a while, with a happy smile on her face:

"It's completely different from a gun, and it's a very novel experience."

"Right~ Another one!"

"Ok!"

To be honest, when I was with her, I didn't have the feeling of reindeer bumping my chest as described in the light novels. There was only calm, relaxation and a touch of warmth.It's like finishing a fierce battle outside, driving a battered warship back to the harbor, and when the anchors in the port area are fixed on the hull, there is a sense of peace of mind from the bottom of my heart.

This feeling of tranquility makes people extremely intoxicated.

Under the sunshine in Katari, Oregana stood in the snow and put the arrow on the bowstring again.

----------------

Mayu Asuka stood up and tore off the multifunctional eyepiece on his face:

"Wow..." Her voice was full of frustration, "This thing is completely hopeless!"

She was in total darkness at the moment, and everywhere the headlamps shone, there were scorched and melted marks everywhere.

This is the inside of the 'big crack' - when the final world exploded in the big crack, it cut off the connection of the power furnace, then dragged the device back to the port, found a place to put it, and waited until the inside cooled down After that, the detection work began.

But this is not a small project... This thing is a cube with a side length of more than four kilometers. What is the concept of exploring here?

Take a raccoon every day——Fuxi Cave in Taohuayuan Scenic Spot in Youyang, Chongqing, a vertical cave system with developed monocline structural strata. It is a natural karst cave with a typical karst landform. There are funnels, blind valleys, basins, underground rivers, karst caves, peak clusters, you can get whatever you want.How long is it?

Two thousand four hundred and sixty-two meters.

If you get lost inside and there is no light, you will probably be scared to death.

The tunnel blasted out by a burst of energy in the 'big crack' is winding and winding, much longer than this...

Many technicians participating in this kind of engineering for the first time are beginning to understand why scientists have instant rations, sleeping bags and portable toilets in their kits.At the same time, they were also told by their seniors that when they were studying the internal structure of the dark worm, they even had to drive an excavator.

Scientific research is also heavy physical labor.jpg

The work these days has not yielded the results everyone wanted - most of the internal components were burned in that one power surge, and the storage found was basically the same as a popsicle that was thawed and put in the freezer and then frozen , reverse wizard data is completely impossible.

To be honest, until now, I don't even know which component failed to cause the energy burst... That thing may have even been ejected out of the star at that time.

"Thank God for being able to restore it to this level." Scythe of War sat by the entrance of the cave, with three computers in hand, and the data on it kept scrolling.

"At that time, I really should figure out how the core works..." The tin woodman was still hanging on the rope and kept lowering his head, just like an outdoor explorer doing cave investigation. to control up or down.

"It should be used urgently."

It’s not anyone’s fault, it’s better to say that everyone held back their desires and did the right thing—if they really chose to fully understand this technology instead of studying how to put it into practical use in the first place, it’s very likely that this At that point in time, that star had already become a supernova, and now it was constantly expanding, enveloping one planet after another in a scorching sea of ​​flames.

But that didn't stop all the technicians involved in the project from beating their chests and sighing at the big hole and the ablated tunnel below.

"Should I leave it alone? Maybe one day we will be connected to the world of Doraemon, and this thing can be repaired with time and furoshiki?"

"Go ahead and dream. If that blue fat man existed, it would be Nobita's job to fight bugs—should a movie version be able to solve it?"

"I think this is too big of a problem. One theater version can't be finished, probably two."

That's enough that no one has ever been seen before, and there will be no one to come after. How terrible is the problem that can only be solved by two theatrical versions of Fatty Blue. (cover face)

"The only thing I can understand is this component." Putting the topic of Fatty Blue aside, Scythe of War checked the report just sent back by the staff below. The waves are bound at a distance to form a 'shroud' of the device."

In the case of other equipment being burned in a large area, only the surface of this device has been damaged, and the internal structure is still intact——

"Because this thing was not online at all when it exploded, and the heat dissipation equipment on the outside is also well done. It feels like the designers have invested a lot of effort in it, but why is it not online?"

Reminiscent of the information the Romans had told him, War Scythe showed a regretful expression on his face:

"I seem to have noticed the truth..."

"What truth?"

The Romans mentioned at the time that everyone thought this thing was a cover, but it turned out to be a full-field suppression type. After inspection, it was found that it was used to bind the interference wave into a cover, and it took a lot of effort to carefully manufacture it. The device wasn't online at all, and it turned out to be one of the last few surviving intact parts.

What happened back then that caused this most critical component to start up before it was online!But it's all blown up like this, and it's impossible to deduce the clues of the year... It can only be regarded as an eternal unsolved case.

He sighed, shook his head, and did not continue talking:

"Forget it, it's too sad... What about the 32? Are you still mining?"

"No, she went to Katari to experience the local culture." The voice of the Tin Woodman came from the communication, and it seemed that he had reached a place deep enough that the voice could not be easily transmitted. "Anyway, there is nothing to do recently, so let her go." .”

"After the war, everything from top to bottom began to loosen up..."

But it's not bad. I've been in a battle state for a long time, and my nerves are too tense. I need to relax.

He very much hopes that this period of time can last a little longer to give everyone—especially the logistics some rest time.At least in the next battle, everyone must return to a state of complete safety.

Thinking of this, Scythe of War put the work at hand aside, stretched out, and lay casually on the upper shield of the 'big crack'.Just lie down for a while, until the next batch of news below arrives.

Just thinking about it, a proximity prompt appeared on the mask—it was a very small unit, but its speed was astonishing, and the detector immediately read that extremely representative energy response.

BUSTER MACHINE No. 7.
