The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

The black and white cat shook its hind legs, stretched out its tongue and licked the place where it was pinched just now:

"No. Because the only remaining neurophysics technology equipment can only be used to maintain a suitable external environment and 'gate', other mechanical equipment is difficult to perform well in this time span. So the Creator gave up using mechanical equipment to complete The intention of the plan."

"Well……"

It seems that the Pioneers have lost quite a lot of personnel, equipment and property at that time, and they can't even use the omnipotent neurophysics equipment of the past to create a sufficiently reliable cryogenic chamber.This is actually completely understandable. The pioneers are indeed extremely powerful, but after all, they don’t want to have light when they open their mouths. If they want to make animations, they will make animations. God of cats, everything you want to do requires material conditions.

Just like humans in UC0079 can create space battleships, colonial satellites and mobile suits, but if a Zanzibar-class cruiser travels to a world of swords and magic and crashes on an uninhabited island, Zeon with a blank face Is there a way for officers and soldiers to use the tools at hand to recreate human civilization within a century and build a colonial satellite on this world in their lifetime?That’s why I couldn’t even find Brother Cong from “Shi ○ Yuan” next door.

The lack of equipment, technology, and materials is an important problem facing the remnants of the pioneers.If there is no way to use the omnipotent neurophysics, then you can only use conventional equipment, even if the conventional equipment in the eyes of the pioneers is still beyond imagination, but...

The forerunners have equipment that has been in operation for 10 years, but it can still be seen that the state of those giant structures is not very good-it is the guide above that first started to age, such as the 04 evil spark half-mad in the 343 ring belt (already Self-healing), the 05 confession tangent of the 2401 ring has overturned, and the 000 miserable loneliness of the Ark suddenly entered a berserk state without warning (now destroyed by the second company of the Blood Ravens, 343 evil sparks entered the Ark)... Once If the guide is damaged, the self-repair function on these giant structures will stop immediately, and then there will be an irreversible and faster and faster damage process.

But creatures... as long as the environment remains unchanged (even some species don't care about the environment changing), they can really remain unchanged for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.From a certain point of view, they are the same in nature as the self-iterative and infinitely repairing Dyson cloud that supplies power to the whole universe.

For example, the human body structure has not changed much in 25 years. The heyday of giant pandas was between 70 and 400 years ago in the Pleistocene. In the past, Tyrannosaurus rex rubbed itches on ginkgo trees and survived in the [-]-meter-deep sea. The nautilus, whose ancestors have remained immutable since the Ordovician period, has caused mass extinction, and the southern cockroach, which is regarded as a nightmare by northerners, is almost indistinguishable from the Carboniferous cockroach fossils dug up.

It is actually quite clever to use the gene pool of a dominant population as a database.As long as the environment is stable, they will continue to thrive and prosper.Just like the group of kittens in front of me...

No, it's not just this group of tool cats. Judging from the reaction of the 'lowlanders' to the name of the forerunner's home planet, they may also be stuffed with a lot of things.The scale of this 'living toolbox' may be much larger than I imagined.

"what are they?"

"When a multi-armed man realizes that there are man-made objects that can fly without relying on the wind, his thinking mode will change within a few days to a dozen days, and the specific time varies from individual to individual. This comes from their Instinct to work," Maomao yawned, smacked his lips, and pushed the empty jar back and forth "because they are not normal evolutionary creatures, but biological navigation terminals created by an extinct race in the past. This race was designed to guide ships when traveling long distances between the stars, and they were born to observe the projections of stars on the back of the world."

No wonder that spider-like guy can navigate the airship in the sea of ​​clouds.If the design goal is to travel between the stars, then the accuracy is completely guaranteed.When they grasp the relative positions of the two stars and themselves, they can know their own coordinates and heading.

"What happens after the mind changes...?"

"He will try to detect other stars in the universe, which will consume a considerable amount of energy, which is higher than the limit accumulated by their daily diet and rest, so his nervous system will try to draw from the world, just like the old days. It was like when their ships were sailing in the sea of ​​stars." It shook its tail and replied, "This will be a signal, attracting the adults of the sky patrollers to attack the floating land sent by the signal."

"Eh? It doesn't sound very strong."

"The life of sky patrollers is divided into four stages. Its larvae live in the sea. After the floating crystal capsule on the back matures, they leave the sea and go to the air to enter the second stage. In this stage, they feed on the atmosphere and gradually grow up. They will be captured by humans and used as ocean-going water tanks; after sufficient nutrients are accumulated, they will leave the land and undergo metamorphosis in the deep space, becoming giant beasts tens of meters long. This is the third stage. At this stage, they have already It has become the apex of the planet's ecological chain."

"Then... what is the fourth stage?"

"The fourth stage requires about twenty sky patrollers. They will be fused together with the lair as the core, and the energy consumed will be transferred to the lair through the black sun. Eventually, an aggregate will be formed. It will sweep away the land on the land. Civilization, reducing the population of intelligent creatures to an appropriate number."

Oregana swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she now fully understands the power of this mechanism - usually there is no problem, but as long as a signal goes on, all the switches will be turned on... and the Sky Patrolman and As I imagined, they are not simply a top of the food chain.The psionic organs on this creature are likely to be used in conjunction with that 'nest', and from the description, that lair is likely to be a dormant low-end god seal.What a swarm merges into is a miniature blood moon.

For such a behemoth, trying to flatten a civilization during an industrial revolution is as simple as a dog fishing for fish.

But fortunately, this is not the kind of explosive switch that will be activated by itself casually.To achieve this step, the airship must first be equipped with a power system. If you don't mess around, the switch should be triggered...

and many more……

Suddenly, Oregana realized a problem.Suddenly, sweat poured out from behind crazily. Although the armor was processed immediately, it still had an uncomfortable wet feeling.She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead, the expression on her face was rather disturbed:

"Hey... the man-made thing that can sail independently, is there any limit to be a man-made thing in this world?"

The cat froze:

"No, as long as they realize that this is a ship that can sail on their own, they will wake them up...Meow?! Did the multi-armed man see your ship!"

"..."

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the egg people, even the cat couldn't calm down.Its ears were pressed down, its mouth was slightly opened, and the fur on its body was fluffed up, as if it had been greatly shocked.

"..."

An uneasy silence permeated the room, and the warm sunlight seemed to lose its temperature in an instant.

A few seconds later, Oregana jumped up suddenly:

"Liu Lizi! Let's go!" She picked up the black and white cat and threw it on her shoulder, and rushed out the door. "The people behind take the cat! Bring all the cats!!"

Chapter 1171 Chapter 190: The intrusion

Another perfect deal.

Many times, expensive items are expensive for two reasons.The first is naturally the cost. It may only cost one or two copper coins to buy a spice locally, but an expensive ship is required to transport it to the destination. If dozens of people work hard for several months, the cost will be easy. Soaring to more than a hundred times; the second is "added value" - because it is rare, it is precious, because it is precious, it becomes a symbol of the status of the rich, and it is an important prop when talking about ostentation, which will raise the price to the peak in one go.

The result is a huge profit—even if they are not worth the price, they are worth the price when they become a luxury item because of their rarity.After putting these goods into the market, even if you don't take all the profits in your hands, just collecting taxes is a pretty good fortune for the territory.After all, there is no problem with higher taxes on luxury goods. Rich businessmen and nobles don't care about this kind of problem, and even higher taxes are better.

Because the price is low, you can't show your identity.

Looking at the terms and the numbers in the contract, an uncontrollable happy smile appeared on the face of the lord Voice of Reason:

"Thank you all the time."

"The accumulation of wealth will eventually promote the advancement of technology." In the past, Xingchen covered the elegant dip pen and put it back in the box made of fragrant wood. "I hope that everything we do is valuable, and I hope you will not change your original intention."

"Of course." The face of the voice of reason became serious. "The equipment using floating crystals for propulsion is already very complete. If you are willing to stay for a while longer, you can see the trial flight. I hope you can put The first such ship to you—I never forgot the original agreement. It's just..."

"It's just a ship from another world, it seems that our long-term efforts have become worthless." The businessman showed a somewhat discouraged look, "But I think they are just passers-by, just like those described in the ancient stories—— "

He cleared his throat and sang in a chant-like voice:

"The clouds billow, and the flying boat shines in the furious wind."

The lord blinked and followed the harmony:

"White foam, waves, clouds like the sea, drums like waves."

"They marched, roaring like thunder."

"They fled, howling like planing knives."

"The sea is filled with air, and the sky is filled with light."

"Cross the high gorge, avoid the wooden boat, and push away the invisible huge waves with long burning oars."

"The eyes of passers-by disappear into the distance..."

This is a song that anyone can sing.

It is thought to describe the time, centuries ago, when several airships without airbags sailed through what is now known as the Lokafjord in a storm with a horde of strange creatures.The witnesses, a group of Lowlander clergy who were growing crops on the cliffs, saw what appeared to be the sky on fire, and some of them insisted they saw people on the boat.Over the course of several days, this kind of vision appeared several times. The clergy tried to signal and waved flags to try to make contact. Although the other party responded, they still left quickly.

To this day, some think it was just a group hallucination or a missionary lie, but others think it may have come from ships on other floating lands.They are passers-by, and their ships are never near land, like ghosts, and all is a lucid dream, like the strange figures and voices sailors often see in the clouds.

"Let's talk to them again at dinner time. Then we'll see what they want and what we can get."

The two walked out of the room. Just as they were about to go to the exchange to handle the remaining procedures, they heard a burst of fierce footsteps behind them.Looking back--

"?!?!?!"

Those people who claimed to be from another world ran over with strange postures, everyone was covered with Phyllis beasts, and all of them had serious expressions like the end of the world, and the momentum of rushing over with a straight face was completely different. It is inferior to cavalry charging.

The lord was taken aback, he subconsciously took half a step back:

"My lord?!" Those faces stopped half a meter away, and for some reason, he saw expressions of shock on the faces of those Phyllis beasts, "You guys..."

But Oregana, who was the leader, had no intention of explaining, she stared at the stars of the past:

"Where are the Oragosians?"

"This... What do you want to do with her? So nervous... Did she get into trouble? "

Even a well-informed businessman can only react like this at this moment.The feeling on the other side reminded him of the gangsters he had encountered before, which made people break out in cold sweat.

In the next second, a white object was stuffed into his arms——

"Listen to her for the details. The situation is very urgent now. Where are the Oragos people?"

"It should be unloading in the port area now..."

This group of people left like lightning, just as they arrived like lightning, and all that was left was this white thing.The businessman who was still in shock lowered his head and met the eyes of the thing in his arms.

(stare--)

"Live?!"

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

It is good to leave the explanation to Inu Sakuya. Oregana has always trusted this kind of small robot with various functions and well-behaved manners.

Now is not the time to sit down and chat with the lord slowly - the black and white cat has already said on the road that each multi-armed individual is different, and the specific activation time is uncertain.The meaning of this sentence is that the multi-armed man seeing the spaceship is like a time bomb, and no one knows when it will explode.

It could be next week, it could be after the next breath.

Therefore, the most urgent thing now is to immediately take this time bomb out of this floating land. The method of 'bomb explosion' is to use itself as a beacon to attract an aggregate to attack, so as long as she is taken out, the damage can be minimized.

If he knew that this kind of thing would happen from the beginning, he should have adopted a more secure operation.But who would want to do this kind of operation?

But it is meaningless to say these words now, what happened next is a bit exciting.

"Deploy immediately, and direct the light to the A118 area!"

【learn! 】

Rushing across the main road, there was a lot of screaming, and a group of people crashed into the port area with a cat all over their bodies——both the guys at the dock and the sailors looked at this side with surprise, and the guards were even more flustered Zhang picked up his spear and ran out of the post shouting.But Oregana didn't care at all, and her eyes were locked on the multi-armed man who was guiding the unloading of the airship at once.

Her eyes just turned to this side:

"Ok?"

In the next moment, the clone warriors had rushed forward.

By the time Oragos reacted, an arm covered with metal had strangled her upper body, and her exposed skin could clearly feel the unique coldness and hardness of metal, which made her panic all of a sudden. :

"Woo?! Hey??"

The other party not only did not explain, but also said something very scary:

"Don't bite your tongue."

"!!!"

In the next instant, all the clone warriors jumped off the pier and fell into the sea of ​​clouds like a meteorite.

Oragos felt like her heart was about to stop beating. In such a short period of time, her originally dexterous brain seemed to be frozen and unable to respond. Fear and panic made her scream—she was not sure Did anyone else hear it, because the violent wind was whistling around with a terrifying momentum, and the ears were filled with the sound of the wind, as if his body was about to be blown away in the next moment.

She could only use all her hands to grab everything she could, and with the fluffy feel, other screams rang out in her ears.

Humans, cats... a lot of screams mixed together, although they were in the sky, it seemed as if they had come to screaming hell.

Oregana saw the fox that grabbed Oragos fall into confusion because the ear on the top of its head was pinched, and the two spun out of control in mid-air, the whole person was dumbfounded—the fox did follow the code of conduct, Use one hand to lock the opponent's arms, and then use the other wrist's posture controller to adjust the posture...

It's just that this guy has more than two hands... This made Oregana involuntarily think of a certain blond and white-robed crazy doctor who performed surgery with two hands and squeezed four arms in the previous "field medical training" of the medical department With the four lightsabers swung like electric fans, the bicycle couldn't get close...

It's literally two fists that can't beat four hands.Whether it's anesthetics, electric shock needles, or mental detonation, any non-lethal means of incapacitating is very dangerous, because every stimulation of the brain has the possibility of detonating the bomb in advance.
