Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

After a brief discussion with Ceria of Rhine Life, she clearly knew that no one in Terra could afford its heavy weight.It is actually another sarcophagus, a "sarcophagus" that is still under warranty and whose steel structure is made by the Terrans themselves...

It comes with a warranty and comes with an advanced artificial intelligence assistant, which is indeed much more reliable than a dark antique that has been left for tens of thousands of years and is about to break down.

1.Omen and preparation part.1

"The height of Terra's sky is sixty kilometers." One day, Seria mentioned this issue when she invited Alpha to drink.Hearing this statement, Alpha sighed. Fortunately, it was not 6000 meters. The geographical magazine she bought at Longmen said that the height of Kalan's holy mountain was more than 6000 meters, and she measured the height of the stratosphere of Terra to be nine to 5000 meters. If the sky in Terra is only 6000 meters high, then Jeragond might hit the ceiling when he gets up and stretches.

Terra's starry sky is a false curtain, Ceria pointed to the sky outside the porthole, "Generation after generation of astrologists have tried to figure out the trajectory of the stars in the sky, but they have never made any achievements, and my good friend, Kristen , her parents used their own sacrifice to confirm that number, [-] meters, which is the upper limit of Terra's sky."

When talking about those things, Ceria looked a little depressed, thinking of the beautiful memories of the past and the differences that eventually caused her best friends to part ways. "So what will the real starry sky look like?"

Alpha followed her finger and looked out the window. At this time, the porthole of the Screwcap Bar faced the west of Terra, and a meteor flashed across the sky.

"What is a shooting star supposed to be?"

"..." Alpha originally wanted to say that he could use the consciousness link device to take her to see the real space. When she was still in the Sky Garden, Qi Shi once found a spacesuit used by ancient astronauts and took her with her Walk out of the sky garden from the airlock and look up at the distant and deep starry sky.

But her words stopped in her throat and she could not say them out.There was a strong sense of déjà vu that inspired her to observe the direction of the meteor from a higher dimension from the perspective of a transcendent mortal body.

Ceria looked at her and her eyes flashed with the mysterious glow she had seen before. She could even feel that Alpha's sight passed through all obstacles. He did not look at the earth and sky, but looked at something she understood. No direction.

"The strings are playing, similar to when I came here." Seria heard Alpha murmur softly.

"What?!" Having communicated a lot, Ceria already knew some of the slang that Alpha sometimes used, and she instantly understood what Alpha meant.A certain trajectory hidden in the high dimension has fluctuated, and the disturbance is similar to when she came. In other words, Terra has a new visitor from another world...

"Sorry, Ceria, I wanted to ask you to go see the starry sky that I have seen with my own eyes tonight..."

"I understand what you mean, do you need my help?"

"The focus of the disturbance is far northwest of Sargon, and it's a long way away..." Alpha originally didn't want Seria to follow him into danger and stay to take care of Helmer and Ifrit, but his polite words also followed the previous one. He said the same thing and stopped at his mouth, "I'll go and ask Dr. Kelsey first."

……

In a conference room in Rhodes Island, Kelsey took from the archives a map of Sargon during his Sargon activities. Although many things will change over the years, the old map can still provide some information. Some references.

Not many people came to this meeting. Kelsey, Jiavir from Sargon, Alpha and Seria. The four of them were not as formal as a work meeting. They gathered around the corner of the large conference table and looked at the meeting. An old map.

"Alfa, I listen to your consciousness. In the desert northwest of Sargon, there are people or groups from other worlds like you."

"Yes."

"Can you see clearly what a time traveler looks like?"

"The level at which that kind of disturbance occurs is too high. My ability is limited and I can't see it clearly."

Kelsey bit her lip. There was a sense of responsibility and mission that drove her to think about and pay attention to this matter. However, she still had a huge Rhode Island to take care of, and her voyages in the future had been arranged. , there are still many matters that require her attention, whether it is Tallulah, Longmen, or other things.

"Then can you recall any relevant clues?" Kelsey looked at Alpha, hoping that she could find valuable information from her memory.

"If I have to say it..." Alpha pieced together all the plots about Sargon she had seen in her mind, but where is the story of time travel... Wait a minute, the Sargon Desert, the time traveler... can't be... ...The Five-Speed ​​Headless Monster's Adventure in the World of Terra... Oh, no, it's your female colleague with the beast ears... That's also wrong, that story collection should be the Rainbow Six-linked Operation Origin Dust.

"I seem to have remembered, Kelsey, if Rhodes Island has a communication station and safe house in a place called Changquan Town northwest of Sargon."

"Changquan Town..." Kelsey frowned and thought for a moment, "Well, yes, there is. Watchtower Site 33 is located in the northwest of Sargon. It was built in a local settlement. That settlement is called Changquan. town."

"The incident should have happened near that site...but I can't be sure, because the Watchtower 33 incident in my memory should have happened next year."

"I'll bring the information from Watchtower 33 right now."

"Kelsey, give me the communication code and transfer authority of the local site, and I'll go over and take a look."

Kelsey looked at Alpha's firm eyes and nodded, "If you need anything else, just ask."

"It would be best to have a map of the geological structure near Changquan Town, or rumors and legends about underground caves."

……

Kelsey ran to retrieve the files, leaving Gaviel behind who still didn't understand the situation. "I still don't understand what you are saying, but there are some things I can tell you. I am from Southern Sargon. There is a huge difference between the southern rainforest of Sargon and the northern desert, both in terms of social structure and customs. In our southern dense forest, people live together in tribes, and the residents are martial. In general, as long as you can fight, you will be able to fight. It's easy to talk. But it's different in the north. The group of desert guys surround the pasha and the royal chiefs under him. They maintain their rule in the form of feudal houses. The guys there fight very viciously. "

She shook her big crocodile tail, "From what I understand, the situation in the north is very complicated. There are not only the pasha kings, but also groups and forces from various countries who seek their own interests in various names. No matter who you are, if you want to launch a large-scale operation there, you'd better have a liaison with someone you can talk to, or spend a lot of money to buy a reliable intelligence dealer."

"I happen to have such a contact person." Kelsey appeared at the door of the conference room holding a volume of files. "This is all the information I can find about Changquan Town. Unfortunately, there is no geology you want. There are scientific reports, but there are data showing that there are mines and caves in the area.”

"Then that's the authority to contact and mobilize resources from the local liaison office, as well as temporary level six authority where you can call upon all of Rhode Island's assets and employees locally if necessary."

"Finally, in the Qinjiao black market in the Ibat area in the north of Sargon, there is a helmsman codenamed 'Shazu' who is an old acquaintance of mine. It is not too far from Changquan Town. It may be helpful. I will give it to you. Draft a letter of introduction. If you need any help, go to the Qinjiao black market to find him. Even if you are a royal chief, he will sell you some thin noodles there, but I am not sure what price he will charge."

"Thank you." Alpha took the information handed over by Kelsi.

"I should be thanking you, Alpha, for seeing what happened and giving us a chance to avoid the negative consequences of the situation from worsening."

2. Omens and preparation part.2-Personnel work

In the office assigned to Alpha on Rhode Island's own ship as the Life Star's liaison office in Rhode Island, Alpha rarely sat behind the desk, flipping through the resume in his hand.Seria was sitting next to her, talking to her in a low voice, and sitting on the seat in front of them was a dignified, but rather nervous, silver-haired Ursus girl.

The reason why this scene happened was that when preparing for Sargon's trip, Alpha mentioned to Kelsey that the Star of Life was currently short of manpower and needed to recruit people.Going out in the field with Alpha as a partner. Those who have heard that Alpha played with Tallulah with one hand and killed the guards while walking after dinner will think that this job sounds like the safest job on the continent of Terra. Some Rhodes likes to gossip. The island operator even thought that giving her a job would be treated the same as a member of the gods' family in myths and legends.

But anyone who knows the things she has dealt with knows that it is not safe at all. Koloff jokingly said that when you follow Alpha, what is really reassuring is that her employee medical insurance can give you a second life. , but no one can say how you didn’t lose your first life.Alpha will provide you with the best equipment and training, but the probability of encountering danger is really high.

The recruitment of new members of the Life Star is mainly for the civilians currently being accommodated in Rhode Island. At the same time, after discussing with Alpha, Kelsey seconded a group of operators from the action reserve team to her, mainly the A1 action reserve team.Although the operators of the Operation Preparatory Team are already regular employees of Rhode Island, they are not official field operators, so disputes are not likely to arise during this kind of secondment.

Alpha also agreed with this plan. Rhode Island will face many threats and challenges in the future. It is a good thing for the operators of these action reserve groups to experience some training under the most secure situation.At the same time, in terms of demand, Alpha only needs manpower to fill in the facade and handle some daily miscellaneous matters.Probably like this...

……

"Natalia Andreevina Rostova, well, I've seen your resume." Rhein-Life's director of defense department and Rhein-Life's most stringent HR officer, Seria took the lead in commenting today. The last candidate to participate in the recruitment spoke. "You are still a high school student. Generally speaking, we do not accept minors. However, considering your previous experience, we decided to give you a chance to introduce yourself first."

"Yes," Alpha took over, "In the recruitment announcement, we have stated that this job means that you may be involved in missions and field affairs that may involve significant risks. So we are very curious, yes What made you decide to submit this resume?”

The sense of oppression between these two people was so strong, this was Natalia's first feeling.

The recruitment of the Life Star Operation Center requires applicants to fill in their identity and origin truthfully, so she truthfully filled in her former family.But these two people didn't care at all about their own or their former noble status. Whether it was the red-haired lady or Vaifan, they were only seriously examining their ability levels.

"Two friends I met in Qicheng said that I still lack understanding of the world. Your company's recruitment announcement said that you will operate all over the mainland in the future. This is a rare opportunity, so I decided to submit a CV."

Alpha nodded. She knew that this girl also submitted her resume to Rhode Island and applied to become a logistics operator.Chicheng has been reduced to scorched earth, their families are ruined, and their studies are impossible to continue. Not only because of their ideals, they must face reality and have to learn to be independent and learn to face the problem of their future.

"Brave decision..." Seria nodded, "The position you applied for is a laboratory assistant clerk. This is a rational choice, but Life Star may face various complex situations in the future, including clerkships. All must receive military training, be proficient in combat techniques and the application of various technical weapons, and may face severe battles."

"I will not be afraid... I have heard about the important contribution that the respected Ms. Alpha made in solving the Checheng incident. I am very eager to work with you to understand more people. If I can help those in need The better if people help.”

"Why did you give yourself the codename Zaoru?"

"This... I just think it sounds nice and smooth."

The two sides talked about a lot of things later. Alpha was surprised that the former noble lady came to submit this resume out of her own ideas and will, and the cause turned out to be the two bears of the Ursus Student Government. That her understanding of the world is too shallow.

She did not experience the story of being forced to hug together for warmth and struggling to survive among the dead, so she did not become a member of Lingdong's student self-government group.She lost the protection of her family and wanted to find her own way out, which also indicates her different life experiences. Maybe this is a good thing. She is still a child, but she has seen some storms and behaves very strong and optimistic. That’s all.

"Her written test scores are very good. There is no fault within the scope of the education she received. She may be naive like a child, but it can be seen that she has gone through her own thinking in her choices." After the interview, Seria gave Such an evaluation, "But if you want to admit her, will Koloff and others object?"

"I have told them about the possibility of recruiting noble children before. They have the same view as me. Life Star is a small place with time and space to correct a noble's wrong understanding of the world. , it is much more cost-effective to win over someone who is on the side of civilians than to create an enemy."

"That's what you would say." Ceria smiled, "But among this group of little guys, you will probably recruit her."

"She is now a descendant of the Rostov bloodline from Chernobog. Rhodes Island can't find where to send her. There are several relatives who can be found, but they even refuse to be with this side. Communicate. In contrast, the other little guys have found their relatives and their relatives are willing to take them in."

"Nobles are like that."

After the Qicheng incident was over and Tallulah took the core city and settled near Longmen, Alpha sent her to the Rhode Island main ship.After all, Kelsey is more familiar with the secrets that come from Terra's ten thousand year history, and Rhode Island has a wide network and can provide her with more help.

Shirter is a very unique case among the Sakaz who came into contact with Rhode Island. There is an inexplicable connection between her and the giant sword she carries with her. The giant sword gives her terror. The strength protected her ore disease from getting worse.However, it can be inferred from various angles that the memory problems she encountered should also be directly related to the giant sword Lewontin.

Shirter said that there are many different perspectives, different subjects, clear, but also overly complex memories in her mind. The large number of memory fragments has caused serious multiple memory confusion.At the same time, her superb swordsmanship skills, she said, also come from those complicated memories.

In order to find out the true nature of those memories, she wrote down key words and tried to find those scenes.

However, after she heard about Alpha's professional abilities in consciousness and memory, she still did not take the initiative to seek help from Alpha, and Alpha did not take the initiative to help her.Whether it's out of concern, habit, or simply forgetting about it.Compared to Xu Yu, her absolute strength allows her to protect herself very well. She really does not need to worry about others. If she can find the answer she wants by herself, it will of course be a better thing.

"Hey, Shirter, what's the matter?"

"Doctor and Kelsey both suggested that I follow you, saying that you should go to Sargon, and there might be a place I want to go there. And Dr. Kelsey said that you can help me deal with my memory problem." As she spoke, she pointed to Levantine and a small suitcase placed behind her.Good guy, she really forgot.

Looking at Shirte's eyes, Alpha knew that he couldn't refuse this guy. Who can refuse the lovely grandma 42?

3. Omens and preparation part.3-Equipment

The recruitment of Life Star ended on a weekend, and the physical fitness test and physical examination were intensively arranged on Saturday. This open recruitment indeed only recruited one person, Zao Lu, and the other students all followed in the past two days. The opened dragon gate-Usas's caravan left Rhode Island and returned to their relatives.

Seria, who promised to help, has also been helping Alpha make some preparations these days, including the future experimental project schedule of Life Star's biological laboratory and materials science laboratory, as well as the related required consumables and fund turnover. She handled it all personally.She also helped Alpha send an ultra-long-distance communication equipment to Rhode Island and installed it on the communication mast of Rhode Island. This set of Karak's long-distance communication antennas can achieve stable microwave communication from Gantry to the northwest of Sargon. .

In the next week, Alpha arranged a series of training. Compared with Koloff and Petrova, who have been involved in combat all year round, they have enough respect for weapons and technology and can quickly adapt to new equipment and new environments.There is actually not much difference between the young people in the action preparation group and the early exposure of high school students. They are both still too immature.

Alpha prepared and lifted the ban on Northern Alliance weapons on Base Walker, such as Samuta's rail rifle. This thing is much more dangerous than Terra's common individual weapons. When it uses specially designed special armor-piercing bullets, it invades The Colombian military's heavy anti-materiel weapons are powerful, such as the Cheli. If such a powerful weapon is issued and used without training, it will definitely be a disaster.

Rhode Island was anchored in the wilderness west of Longmen, where Alpha opened up a long and narrow field as a shooting range for shooting training.While Alpha was teaching young people how to use firearms at the target lane on one side of the shooting range, Koloff was explaining to Seria on the other side of the target lane.Even the well-informed Ceria was quite curious about this kind of weapon that could be used without any Originium skills.

"Kolov, I remember that you were using a firearm that propelled projectiles into flight through the gas produced by the explosion. It was called a Kalashnikov. Isn't that the standard weapon of the Star of Life?"

Koloff shook his head, "It was made by Alpha when she first tried to use the Life Star printer to make things. In order to study the use of high-precision printers, she made a large number of products that required ultra-clean facilities to produce. Chemical energy ammunition, but from a practical point of view, the gun and the ammunition used in it were produced on the same production line on the car, which was too cost-effective, so the inventory was sealed after it was completed."

"These electromagnetic acceleration weapons are more suitable for the use environment of this land than chemical energy weapons. Is this what you mean?" Seria recalled the attack at Longmen. After the battle, Koloff dismantled the Kalash. A scene where Nikov performs maintenance.

In Seria's opinion, the internal structure of the Kalashnikov can even be called "original" - the piston, spring, and clamps can all be produced with simple stamping, casting, and basic metallurgical processing. components...but those simple mechanical structures constitute a complex, precise but extremely robust whole.How many bloody experiences accumulated in wars are needed to research and create such a pure and almost perfect killing machine.

An ordinary person who has no knowledge of Originium skills and has never touched a weapon can pick it up and only need a few 10 minutes of training to possess a threat that ordinary warlocks and shooters cannot match.

The range is far greater than that of a crossbow without the skill bonus of Origin Stone, and it can penetrate most standard shields. Although the lethality is not comparable to the spell attack released by a skilled warlock, it takes several years of training for a warlock to reach that level. .Warlocks still need to concentrate on casting spells in battle, but Kalashnikov doesn't need to. She even saw Koloff casually swaying from behind the bunker and knocking down two militants with a single bullet...

"That's right. Ultra-clean production lines are not required for electromagnetic weapon ammunition processing, and the capacitors used to store launch energy can be reused."

Ceria picked up an electromagnetic rifle, loaded the magazine into the receiver according to Koloff's instructions, pulled the charging handle to push the first bullet into the chamber, released the weapon's safety, raised the gun, and aimed. Press the trigger.

Although the principles inside are completely different, the required operations are still as simple as before. All she needs to do is aim at the target.A ball of sparks exploded on the steel human-shaped target in the distance. Ceria could clearly see that the one-finger-thick steel target was easily punched with a hole through the front and back by standard ammunition. The hot iron filings and the projectile were The debris flew backwards, sending up a cloud of smoke on the sand.Ceria was not sure whether she could withstand this shot.

"There is no need for long-trained martial arts, killing is only hanging on the fingertips..." According to the rules, the remaining ammunition in the magazine and the gun chamber was emptied, and Ceria played with the weapon. "No..." she denied what she said before, "Weapons come from the scientific research team, from experience and knowledge, and from the industrial system. What soldiers need to hone is the technology of how to bring out the performance of weapons on the battlefield. From then on, war will It's no longer about the strength of a certain individual, but..." Thinking of this, she even felt a chill down her spine.

“Didn’t Alpha mass-produce that scale?”

"No, the scale has different technology from this gun, and its structure is very complex. After modification, it can even adapt to and amplify the Origin Stone skills, but the difficulty and cost of processing are simply terrifying." The money spent on a rail gun cannot buy the power of a mortar. It can be used in special occasions, but it is not necessary to mass-produce it,' Alpha's original words were like this."

Ceria nodded. She felt as if she had touched the edge of some very important concept. It was a new understanding of the collective, the country, and civilization. Her reason told her that it was very important, but she still Didn't think it through completely.

"By the way..." Ceria put her thoughts in her heart and waited until she had time on the road to ask Alpha.She turned around and pointed at several large weapons transport boxes behind her, "Koloff, what are those?"

"Anti-armor missiles are a new thing developed by Alpha. They have not been tested with live ammunition. They are installed in a launch tube, but unlike rockets, they are equipped with a device to guide the missile to track the target. I don't know the tracking effect. How about its power, the manual says it can track vehicles and slower cargo drones, while also causing effective damage to the running gear of small moving plots.”

The walking device that can damage the moving land means that the various combat armored vehicles in service and under development by the armies of various countries, whether it is Colombia's armored fighting vehicle or Victoria's heavy self-propelled gun, are all in front of it. There is no difference between paper and paper. This is just a piece of equipment that can be carried by infantry. Is this the weight brought by the technology of the three civilizations...
