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

4. Omens and preparation part.4-Sail

A week passed very quickly. Some training subjects that required large fixed venues were barely completed for the little ones by Alpha's personal experience. The remaining things were taught slowly along the way. Let them.

The little orange bunny, kkdy who made most doctors blush after hearing this, and Cross from the A1 Operations Preparatory Team.This little guy who always squints especially likes the rail rifle that was issued to her. The maintenance complexity of this weapon is similar to that of the crossbows used before. When using it, it does not require effort to wind it, just This made her very satisfied.It should be a little heavy, but it won't affect her ability to aim and shoot, or sleep with the weapon in her arms.

Yan Rong was very curious as to why she, a warlock who mainly participated in battles with Origin Stone skills, was given a rifle like Cross's, until she learned that the Picatinny rail of the rifle could be used to attach a spell amplification unit. And after seeing the chest target made of gel and the armor plate in front turned into an indescribable mess by a bullet, she silently put away her doubts.

Migru and Fen, who originally fought with melee weapons, also received training in the use of firearms, but Alpha did not intend to let them change too quickly. There were many people on the Life Star who could give them guidance.

As for the early exposure, she was quite surprised when she first got the gun. She was even more surprised when she realized that it was not a Rutland gun. According to the agreement, Alpha would not arrange her into any organization until she came of age. Combat missions, but her motivation is quite high.

"If I have the ability to fight, I will be able to protect more people when disaster strikes again." This is what she said.

But Alpha discovered something. After testing the anti-armor missile, the little bear became interested in this powerful but very heavy weaponry.Even after learning that the total weight of the system was 35 kilograms and the weight of the missile was [-] kilograms, she did not flinch at all. She even planned to carry the entire system plus two spare ammunition alone.Considering the strong physique of Ursus, she can probably do it...

……

There wasn't much time to prepare. If it weren't for the training of new personnel, Alpha actually wanted to set off that night, but when he was about to set off, Kelsey suddenly appeared in the center of life with a backpack on his back. The mooring bay where the star is located.

"Kelsey? Are you going to Sargon together?" Alpha noticed her and asked curiously.

Kelsey shook her head, "I'm going to Casimir, let me take a ride."

"Casimir? What happened there?"

"I received a tip that there was a strange Agor man operating there...Agor is a mysterious ethnic group full of mysteries. They live in the ocean and isolate themselves from the land. More than 60 years ago, After a disaster called the Great Silence, the connection between Agor and the land was completely severed, but intelligence shows that the Agor man may be from Agor, and I have to go and see for myself."

Alpha nodded, "You are worried that the Agor is a deep-sea hunter and that she has some connection with the culprit of the Great Silence, right?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." Kelsey sighed, "Thankfully you are here... I can't take care of two places thousands of miles apart at the same time, even though the things are both important."

"You have to learn to rely more on the people around you, whether it's your colleagues back then or your current partners." Alpha pointed to the hangar behind him and motioned for Kelsey to get in the car, "There's no problem in Rhode Island."

"Well, everything has been arranged. Amiya and the doctor can cope with the current situation."

"Then let's go and get in the car. There are still many empty rooms on the Star of Life. You can choose one later."

……

The preparations before sailing have been completed, and without too many stops, the Life Star sailed away from the mooring bay of Rhode Island and embarked on the road to the west. In the first half of this road, the Life Star walked But the second half is a completely unfamiliar path.

Kelsey used her network to contact the natural disaster messengers along the way and obtained a more reliable navigation map. The road into Sargon was not an easy one.

"Kelsey, it's a long journey, you might as well take this opportunity to take a break."

"..." Kelsey looked at Alpha with sincere eyes and sighed softly, "I don't have that much time to rest. The suffering on this land does not allow me to slack off."

"No, Kelsey, if you don't learn to rest, you will eventually weaken and become powerless against the disaster you face."

At this moment, Alpha's mobile phone rang the alarm for an emergency call within the ship, "Boss, emergency contact from Rhode Island. The initiator of the contact is Dr. Hemmer!"

"Hemo?" Kelsey and Alpha were both puzzled. Things had been arranged. They could just take the ordinary route. What happened?

"I understand, transfer over here."

So Alpha and Kelsey connected with Hemmer on the computer in Kelsey's temporary cabin. She looked anxious, "Alfa, have you seen Ifrit?"

"what?"

They didn’t know what risks they would encounter during this field mission. Alpha even left Zina on the Rhode Island ship with the other children. Of course, Hemo wouldn’t let Ifrit run around outside. She is still a little worried about letting Seria contact and take care of Ifrit, so what is going on?

Could it be that these two naughty kids sneaked into the car... Alpha suddenly realized that when the Life Star was loading cargo and consumables, it had always only used ship-based equipment, with Diesel responsible for supervision and management. He seemed to Little attention is paid to this matter.

She quickly opened her high-dimensional vision and scanned the entire vehicle, "Cold storage No. [-], holy shit!", the safety rules of the Life Star. From this day on, all cargo loaded has been added with a line that must be visually inspected by people in the loop. terms.

The No. [-] cold storage of Life Star is a high-temperature cold storage used to store shelf-stable food, and the space is relatively large, and the amount of air inside is not small. When Ceria and Alpha took Ifrit out of it, the bear Nothing happened to the child except a head full of mud from cabbage leaves and potatoes.But if Hemmer's call had come a few hours later, the oxygen content in the cold storage would have dropped to a dangerous level.

Ifrit deservedly received a good spanking, and Seria was so frightened that her butt was swollen.

"Tell me the truth, Ifrit, who told you that you could sneak onto the Star of Life!"

Ifrit, who was being fried on a bamboo board, was holding back tears and honestly explained what happened.

"It was Jina who told me. She said that there is a loophole in the cargo monitoring system of Life Star. Food containers will only be tested for explosives and unauthorized weapons. The organic detection probe used is very insensitive and cannot detect whether there are biological organisms. Hidden inside.”

"How does she know..." Alpha remembered that they found a dead mouse in the cold storage a few months ago. Zina was also present at that time. "That girl will have a lot of clever ideas if she doesn't study hard!"

"I heard that Ceria was going on a long trip with Alpha, so I wanted to follow you. I think I can definitely help!" Then she received another good beating.

……

At the door of the ship's infirmary, Ceria rubbed her sore eyebrows. She had never realized that a half-year-old child could have such strong mobility and perform such a troublesome job.Alpha was also very depressed. In terms of responsibility, he had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was his own negligence in the investigation that led to this dangerous situation.

In the infirmary, Ifrit, whose butt was swollen after being beaten, was lying on the bed and moaning non-stop while Xu Yu was applying medicine to her butt.

Helmer was also frightened when he received the news. Fortunately, he was discovered in time and it did not cause a major disaster.

"Seraya, I know your matter is urgent. She ran over, so don't bother turning around and sending her back..." Hermer's mood was very complicated. Through the video, she looked at Seria's face and said, "But please protect her, okay."

"I will definitely do it."

5. Omens and Preparations part.5 - Path to the Great Knight Leader

This was a journey that spanned almost the entire continent of Terra. The Star of Life galloped across the land under the stars and at night, leaving countless landscapes behind.

Taking into account the potential risk of instability in Victoria's recent domestic political situation, Kazdaele's xenophobia and the security issues in Syracuse, the first half of this route took the same route as the original route from Ursus to Longmen.That is, passing through Letania and heading to Casimir.Then turn around and head south, bypassing the Colombian border and the snow-capped mountains of Xierag, which is closed to the outside world, and heading southwest to the northwest of Sargon.

"It is not suitable for me to return to Colombia for the time being, and the Colombian authorities will definitely covet the various technologies on your Life Star. If you don't want to be repeatedly challenged by the Colombian authorities, my suggestion is to avoid it." When planning the path Seria said this at that time,

Ifrit realized her wish. In order to take care of this naughty child, Ceria let her live in her room, but she also paid a corresponding price. Alpha punished her to take away the safety manual of the Star of Life. It was copied five times, and the penalty copy had to be handed in before the Star of Life arrived at Casimir.Ifrit, who knew that she had gotten into a big trouble, could only bite the bullet and copy the book.

But adults all know that the only purpose of the penalty is to make her remember her mistakes and she should not put herself in danger.But more importantly, she needs to be educated on why those behaviors are dangerous.

Taking this opportunity, Alpha, with the help of Diesel, produced a series of short animated films to introduce Ifrit and other new crew members to the dangers of various facilities on the Life Star and educate them on how to Participate in various tasks safely.Funny animated shorts work very well with live demonstrations.

For example, a needle flea was captured on the road, and Alpha used it to show the children the dangers of the base walker's mass recovery reaction pool. Watching the vicious creature with a hard shell being reduced to hydrocarbon molecules by a decomposition beam, these little guys were all excited. He said he would definitely abide by the safety manual in the future.

In order to avoid being scanned, Ifrit did not bring her Originium flamethrower. She wanted a new weapon so that she could help Seria if necessary, but the adults agreed that , her various demands will not be met until she hands in her penalty copy.

"We must let this little brat like you have a long memory!" Alpha said very seriously, grabbing her little face.

……

"Kelsey, the transportation here is very convenient, so your next move will be very convenient. We will stop here for two days to replenish supplies. The range of my drone can cover [-] kilometers. In the future, I can also provide you with air support within five days.”

"Thank you for your concern. I am sensible. There is no need to waste the precious mechanical life of the drone here."

"Okay, I wish you good luck."

The Grand Knights of Kavaleliaki is an important transit point on the voyage through Casimir. From here, everyone will move southwest.

Although the Base Walker is the standard unit of the expedition fleet, its tonnage is limited after all. Even if the consumption of the reactor is very small, various other supplies need to be replenished in time, and considering the uncertain situation in Sargon, before departure, life A considerable part of the warehouses on the Star are used to store production consumables such as scalar substances and already manufactured weapons and equipment. Considering the future voyage, Alpha naturally needs to choose places to stop along the way for supplies.

The Great Knight Territory is the last stop on the route, a metropolis with large-scale industry and production capacity. It is also the most prosperous trading port in Casimir. For supplies, there are more options for various supplies here.

According to Casimir's infected person management policy, those infected with ore disease without permission cannot move around freely in the Grand Knights Territory. Therefore, most of the members of the car can only stay at the port. Alpha and Seria have to bear the responsibility. It is the duty of purchasing travel souvenirs for these little guys who are very enthusiastic and then are blocked by the policy from returning to the cabin.

In order to satisfy their strong desire to walk around and look around, Alpha installed Benben with a multi-probe comprehensive photoelectric collection system with a height-increasing bracket, and then gave each of them VR glasses so that they could lie down on the Star of Life. Go shopping with them.

The two of them did not carry weapons, and they were just on the busiest commercial street of the Great Knight Territory. The Great Knight Territory was indeed the city with the most developed commerce in Casimir. There was an endless flow of pedestrians on the street, and there were gorgeous advertising screens everywhere, and there were shops and shops everywhere. Office building.

"The streets are full of advertisements for knight competitions. It can be seen that this sport is very popular in Casimir." Alpha pointed to the advertising screens on both sides of the street, which had advertisements for the major knights. There is the promotion of the knight's competitive arena supported by major groups under the Business Federation, and there is also a performance by a certain knight's idol female knight group...

"When I was in school, the history and current affairs courses told me that the Knights of Casimir were a group of top military personnel who valued honor and character and possessed strong combat power. In just a few years, what they promoted became This is what it looks like..." The so-called knights who were packaged by sponsors, or competitive knights to be precise, were sent to the arena by capital to participate in one game after another, the results of which had already been determined. The aesthetically pleasing bloody fight is for the audience’s amusement and gambling. As a foreigner who has a little knowledge of this history, Ceria will also feel embarrassed. "If it were me a few years ago, when I came here, I probably wouldn't have cared about these things. All I would have paid attention to was the annual financial reports of our partners."

"Observing from the perspective of an ordinary person, what you see and what you take the initiative to pay attention to when you are in a high position are often different."

The two of them were walking relaxedly on the road. The stupid cargo platform was already filled with all kinds of souvenirs that the little guys were clamoring to buy.

"The glorious knight Margaret is here. She seems to be very famous here. Many street shops will hang souvenirs related to her in eye-catching places." Ceria picked up the book at the newsstand on the street. A standing sign with Linguang's bust painted on it, he held it in his hand and looked at it.

"This customer is really knowledgeable. This is Casimir's most dazzling and powerful knight!" The newsstand owner smiled and rubbed his hands, asking the two of them if they wanted to buy a souvenir of the dazzling knight.

"Bring her a copy. After all, it is the love and support of her hometown people." Alpha took out his wallet and prepared to pay.

"Do you two know Mr. Knight Yao?"

"Well, we can be considered friends." After all, we often meet in the medical department. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they are just acquaintances. What's more, they are both heavy-duty operators who spend time in the medical department every day. The two of them are actually quite familiar. Ceria feels that No need to lie.

The older stall owner became excited all of a sudden and asked many questions eagerly, but they were all put off by Ceria and Alpha. It was obvious that he was a loyal fan of Margaret.The stall owner was a little disappointed when they didn't get an answer, but he still gave them a poster from when Margaret won the championship after they paid for the souvenirs.

"By the way Alpha, there are at least three points around where people are following and monitoring us." Ceria whispered to Alpha when leaving the newsstand.

Alpha nodded, "They have been there since we entered the city. They should be members of Casimir's Unarmed Alliance. Counting remote surveillance, there are a total of five points and seven operators. Three of them carry concealed weapons. But I don’t know why I came.”

"Well, let them follow. Anyway, it won't affect our shopping for souvenirs."

Seria also knew very well that the various identities of the two were actually quite sensitive enough to attract the attention of the authorities, and the relationship between them and the exiled Glory Knight Linguang could also be found from various intelligence channels. There is a connection, and it is actually reasonable for the Wuzhou Alliance to send people to monitor their actions.

……

"So, the two guys who were under close surveillance as if they were facing a formidable enemy, actually did nothing but go shopping and bought a lot of tourist souvenirs?"

"Yes, Mr. Platinum, the two of them are just shopping."

"Have they checked the items they bought through the port channel?"

"Two thousand five hundred tons of purified water, ten tons of source rock ore, and twenty tons of various types of food, as well as some ordinary metal products and raw material ingots."

"Isn't there anything suspicious?"

"If I must say it, they bought a set of staffs made by the Meshko Group."

"A hundred sets of magic staffs? That's a bit suspicious..."

"No, Platinum Master, I only bought one set."

"...So they are really just traveling?"

6. Journey and starry sky

During the two-day stop, in addition to replenishing supplies, I also found a place to stop and rest. One night, Furong did not pull up the guardrail of the bed when she was sleeping. As a result, she fell off the bed when the base walker was climbing over a small slope. There was a bump on my head.The scale of the Base Walker is far less than that of Rhode Island. Although the internal space is already very generous, the feeling of staying in the vehicle while driving for a long time will still make people slightly uncomfortable.

The neon lights of the Grand Knight's collar can always obscure the stars in the sky. No matter whether those stars are false or real, they will always appear eclipsed in the face of the neon lights of commerce and industry.

Under the sky obscured by light pollution, the communication from Rhode Island came in, and the doctor provided good news.A mountaineer who had been treated for ore disease in Rhode Island before. Her brother recently contacted Rhode Island in Longmen. He seemed very satisfied because his sister's condition had improved significantly.

"Enthiodis Shivaash, the chairman of Kalan Trading and the iron-fisted warlord with real power in the Kjerag region, visited Rhode Island in a private capacity to visit his sister and cooperate with others. Negotiation of intentions." The doctor mentioned this meeting, "From a personal perspective, he and I had a very happy conversation. He hopes that Kjerag can cooperate with Rhode Island."

During the conversation, the doctor appropriately mentioned Alpha's actions. Previously, due to Kjerag's closed status, Alpha had to choose to go around. During the conversation, the doctor gained experience for them from Enxiodis. Stop Sherag's permission.This meant that they did not need to forcibly cross the long wilderness between the two countries of Kjerag and Colombia without any supply points, and march to Sargon. At least there was a place in the middle where they could supply supplies.

"There are still some problems in the Minos direction. Gaviel still does not recommend that you pass through the Akahula area, but this can still reduce the pressure on the road by about [-]%."
