After a space fold at Heildam, several Nova battleships with a length of two kilometers slowly sailed out.
In a bumpy and rocky valley, a stream of turbid gas suddenly rushed out from the ground, bringing a huge amount of dust into the sky.
A giant valve with a diameter of more than five kilometers slowly slid open, and a thick energy barrier surged out, trapping the atmosphere in the base below.
The fleet flew in carefully through the valve and docked at a huge underground landing field.
A large number of ground crews swarmed in and quickly cleaned the surface of the warship, washing away the dust that adhered to it.
Adams, the director of the Heildam branch of the Tang Group's weapons production department, has led a team of elite soldiers to the landing field to greet his direct superior and two executives from a distance.
Adams laughed and said hello: "Hey, bosses, you finally remembered us.
You must give me a raise. I've been bored here for so long, I'm almost dying!"
After punching Adams in the chest, Yin Fanwanke patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "Salary increase? I see that you look very happy, so your living conditions are not that bad.
What's wrong with this place? The boss gave you three times the salary! "
With a deep sigh, Adams shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and complained, "It's nice here. But there are no girls here!"
"Girl?" Yin Fanwanke was stunned, frowned and asked, "You want a girl?"
For Yin Fan Wanke, who is keen on dealing with machines and engine oil, women are nothing but a burden that affects his modification and upgrading of steel soldiers.
Adams helplessly looked at Lai En and Kane who had just returned from hell, looking exhausted, and spread his hands, complaining: "Director Lai En, I don't need a girl, I have my most beloved wife and my most lovely children.
But the guys here need girls! My God, there are thousands of people in this base and not a single woman. "
Adams looked at them innocently and shouted exaggeratedly, "Do you want these handsome guys to have homosexual relationships?"
Giving Adams a strange look, Ryan recalled those things in the federal army. Uh, he couldn't help but shudder.
After thinking for a while, Lai En nodded and promised:
"If you can control those girls... I will give you enough girls tomorrow.
But you have to understand, those girls are not our own, if they reveal the secrets here—"
Adams smiled.
He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line: "Don't worry, I do this job, no one will leak the secret. Those girls won't even know that they have left the earth!"
"Very good!" Lai En finalized the matter.
He can make the decision on small matters like this without even reporting to his boss.
But the premise is, don't cause trouble.
Ryan saw the fire in the eyes of the group of strong men behind Adams, who were almost injured. They were all strong men with full energy and blood.
Every day at the base, we train and train, and we really need to consider everything. This base is very important, and confidentiality is also very important, but it can be done in a more humane way.
He decided to ask Shishida Industry to recruit another group of girls to come to the base to work as clerical workers.
Of course they need to be stationed at the base for a long time.
Lai En doesn't want the secrets of the base to be sold out to those flashy girls in the blink of an eye by these confused young men!
... ... ...
Adams arranged for personnel to conduct a detailed cleanup of the fleet returning to dock to prevent any hellish creatures from infiltrating this world.
Under the leadership of Adams, Ryan, Kane and others came to the top-secret production line at the bottom of the base.
In a huge factory building that is ten kilometers long and three kilometers wide, countless huge mechanical arms and countless engineering robots are busy working around a giant battleship.
At least more than a thousand workers were clinging like ants on the more than a dozen layers of scaffolding outside the battleship, working intently, while a large number of workers were rushing in and out of the several open hatches of the battleship.
A large number of engineering vehicles carrying various modular instrument components poured into the warship, and then hurriedly drove out of the warship carrying countless scraps.
The battleship is nearly completed. The length of the hull has reached an astonishing three thousand meters, the widest part is over two hundred meters, and the height of the raised bridge in the center of the hull is nearly one hundred meters.
The hull is round and the overall shape is like a cigar, but the length-to-width ratio is a bit thicker and shorter than that of an ordinary cigar.
A soldier drove a magnetic levitation engineering vehicle over and carried several people to the bow of the warship.
The bow of the battleship was densely packed with main gun emplacements. Ryan counted them briefly and found that there were more than fifty main guns with a caliber of more than 3,000 mm.
This is 200 percent larger than the maximum main gun caliber of the so-called top-secret first-generation main ship currently being researched by the Federation.
From the bow to the stern, there are hundreds of secondary guns of various calibers, including more than 80 main gun barrels with a caliber of more than 1,000 millimeters.
The firepower of the entire ship is equivalent to that of a first-level mixed fleet as described in the information provided by Old Mand.
However, compared with the main gun barrel with a caliber of nearly 10,000 mm in the middle of the bow, all other main guns pale in comparison.
The caliber of this main gun is nearly five meters. Inside the barrel and the barrel, a mysterious blue halo glows faintly.
Ryan stuck his head in to observe and could see that there were hundreds of blue crystals with flowing light, the size of fists, embedded in the barrel of the gun.
These are energy gems condensed by the Cosmic Cube.
This extremely pure energy crystal has been tested countless times.
It has extremely strong energy focusing and energy amplification effects, and is simply the best material for making energy weapons.
Therefore, when designing the main gun of this giant ship, based on some information about alien naval guns, the designer directly embedded these energy crystals inside the gun barrel.
Kane stared blankly at the main gun. As a former special forces commander, a soldier, or in other words, any man could not resist the romance of big cannons and huge ships.
He took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Every time I see this thing, I wonder if it can pierce a planet with one shot!"
Yin Fan Wan Ke's voice came from the side: "It is impossible to penetrate a planet.
The alien technologies that Old Mand bought back are at most the technologies of first-level civilizations that we can use.
When it was first designed, this battleship was designed according to the standards of a first-class battleship, and its shield energy was less than one-tenth of that of a nova battleship.
An ordinary second-level battleship only needs a 10% power attack to turn it into ashes. Even if it activates all its energy shields, it still can't stop the Nova battleship's 1/10 power attack! "
"But the power of this battleship has far exceeded the main gun of the first-class battleship." Adams looked at the giant ship with emotion: "This is a deadly weapon!"
"Adams, introduce this... first generation "Datang" battleship to me! I need to report this surprise to my boss."
Lai En looked at the huge ship in front of him, his fingers trembling slightly.
The first class heavy-duty starship in the Datang series is the first self-built starship manufactured by the Tang Group using alien technology.
Although most of the technologies used on the warships are purchased alien technologies, they have all been localized.
The battleship in front of us is the culmination of the hard work of all the scientific researchers at the Weapons Research Institute for more than a year.
The battleship's engine is based on the most advanced engine technology smuggled from the emerging empire, and has been optimized and improved by everyone in the weapons research institute.
Especially after using the magical metal materials produced in Heildam,
The size of a single engine has increased its durability by 57 percent compared to the original model.
The outer armor of the Tang Dynasty ship is shockingly strong. It not only uses Heldam's magic metal, but also incorporates adamantium.
The thirteen-layer hull of the Datang warship is less than ten meters thick, but its defensive capability is at least equivalent to that of a standard alloy armor with a thickness of five hundred meters.
The weight of these thirteen layers of shell is also extremely light, with the unit volume weight being only about 85% of the same volume of alloy steel.
Although the Tang Dynasty warship, which is made entirely of these magical metals, looks huge in appearance, it is actually unusually light in weight and has an extremely large internal space.
The large and light ship allows the Tang ship to carry more supplies. As long as the warehouse is filled with energy crystals generated by the cosmic cube,
The Tang Dynasty ship can sail continuously in outer space for more than a hundred years.
The powerful engine and sturdy hull directly led to the unprecedentedly powerful firepower system of the Datang ship.
Not to mention the main gun inlaid with energy crystals, there are thirty-six 3,200mm caliber main guns surrounding the main gun.
A full-power salvo from any main gun can directly penetrate all the main ships in service in the ordinary first-level civilization alien fleet.
Even the Chitauri mothership would be torn to pieces by a single hit.
An extra benefit brought by the huge hull is that the warship's electronic system is also unprecedentedly large. The giant radar unit with a total volume of over 200,000 cubic meters makes the radar scanning distance of the Datang ship more than 30 times that of the current first-class battleships.
A giant electronic jammer installed in the battleship can even disable all electronic devices within 3,000 light seconds.
Speaking of electronic systems, Adams mentioned with some pride the research on biological stealth coatings conducted by researchers at the Weapons Research Institute under his leadership.
By combining metallic invisible coatings with a species of invisible demon from Hell that has natural invisibility abilities, they developed a special material that is almost absolutely invisible.
Nearly absolute stealth, strong defense. Powerful power, powerful firepower, according to Adams,
This Tang Dynasty ship has the power to sweep across the entire earth and the world is unpredictable.
If this main gun is used,
The Tang Dynasty ship can resolve all disputes on Earth within an hour.
"The murder weapon! This is a murder weapon!"
Kane stared at the huge ship in front of him in a trance, and stroked its smooth outer deck hard.
Kane sighed and muttered in a low voice: "Such a good guy, I will find the boss later, and the first battleship must be under my command!"
... ... ..
Adams led everyone into the Datang warship and gave a quick tour of every important area of the warship.
It can only be a brief and cursory introduction because the battleship is so huge.
The overall distribution of the battleship is not much different from other starships. After all, this is a battleship built based on existing technology.
Such a huge warship requires less than 500 operators, and the remaining logistics and maintenance personnel are 1,000 people.
The battleship is equipped with a standard capacity of 2,000 soldiers, and the huge hull is enough to ensure that everyone has comfortable living conditions.
The soldiers on the battleship are all equipped with Tang's latest individual combat armor (Iron Soldier Improved Version of Iron Suit)
There are even three small-scale integrated production lines in the cabin at the bottom of the battleship.
These three production lines adopt a fully automatic modular design. As long as sufficient energy and raw materials are provided, they can manufacture items ranging from pistol bullets to steel soldier robots.
If the Tang warship landed on a resource-rich planet, it would only take half a month to form a large-scale army.
It took five hours to just wander around the battleship. When we walked out of the battleship,
Ryan asked, "How long will it take for this battleship to be ready?"
Adams raised a finger when he heard Ryan's words:
“It only takes one month, and if we don’t go on a long voyage, we can prepare everything properly.
There won't be any problems, all the technologies are mature, and it doesn't even require manual control
But we are currently short of crew members, soldiers, operators and logistics personnel, and we also need training!"
Lai En nodded and smiled: "Okay, speed up the process, I need to give the boss a surprise when he comes out of quarantine!"
Just as Adams issued the military order, he promised that there would be absolutely no problems and no delay.
Lai En, however, took out a jade talisman from his arms with a look of astonishment.
"Boss! Are you out of quarantine?!"
Upon hearing Lai En's words, Adam, who had just signed the military order, suddenly looked as pale as death.
"There's a problem with the Cosmic Cube, yes! I understand, I'll rush over right away!"
... ... ... .
"Your Holiness, Mr. Bishop! It has been done, please follow me!"
Utopia, an airport ten kilometers outside the city of Lyon, a private plane from the Vatican had just landed and was greeted by a black colonel who had been waiting for a long time.
Judging from his military uniform, this black colonel is from the Federal Air Force.
The cabin door slowly lowered, and a group of clergy in plain clothes surrounded the Pope and walked off the plane.
The black colonel stepped forward and saluted, then directed the crowd towards the row of black ceremonial cars.
"Your Majesty, there are only three special passes. I'm afraid your entourage cannot enter the core area!"
The convoy started and drove towards the city of Lyon. In the extended limousine in the middle, the black colonel looked embarrassed.
"Three!?" The Pope tapped his fingers on the armrest of the leather seat and pondered. He looked at the blond young man beside him with a look of burning envy.
It is hard to imagine that this young man with tight skin and fair complexion was a dying old man of about the same age just a few days ago.
If only his body could recover to this state!
However, when the Pope saw the emotionless eyes of the blond young man reflected in the goblet, he felt a chill in his heart.
The soul has been replaced, so what if I become younger? Who would have thought that in the modern society of the 21st century, such a miracle as the arrival of an angel would still happen.
The one who descended was Archangel Michael, who was known as the Vice-Prince of Heaven.
The first thing the archangel did when he arrived was to purge heresy within the Vatican. If it weren't for his advice, at least two-thirds of the clergy in the entire Vatican would have been sent to the stake.
Thinking of this, the Pope had a headache. This was no longer the Middle Ages when the Vatican was a union of religion and politics and could even depose the king.
Although the Holy See possesses some extraordinary powers and has a great influence in Western countries due to its religious influence, influence is just influence.
If thousands of people were sent to the stake at once, the pressure of public opinion alone would be enough to overwhelm the Vatican.
It took him a lot of effort to calm the archangel down.
"Three passes are enough, no need for so many, one is enough!" The blond young man, who is Michael after his advent, shook the red wine glass and spoke.
The black colonel subconsciously looked at the Pope.
The Pope nodded at him and said, "Prepare two!" Then the Pope explained to Michael, "I'd better go in with you! This way it will be more convenient!"
Michael nodded slightly without comment, crossing his legs and tasting the slightly bitter red wine.
He came to the human dimension this time with two missions, the main one was for the Lost Paradise Mountain.
Back then in the Land of Nothingness, he and Gabriel were severely damaged by the warships under General Corvus Glaive, and millions of angel legions were defeated in the Land of Nothingness.
Their injuries were not serious. With the help of the artifact, Mount Heaven, their injuries were quickly healed.
As for the millions of angels that perished in the land of nothingness, it was a pity, but most of them were just renewable and insignificant puppets.
Most importantly, they lost the whereabouts of Mount Lost Paradise.
For this reason, the Lord had to wake up from her deep sleep for three breaths, use her great prophecy, see through the power of fate, and find the approximate location of the Lost Paradise Mountain.
Lost Paradise Mountain fell to Earth for unknown reasons.
Out of fear of Ancient One and Odin, when the Lord was asleep, not knowing their attitudes, even the four archangels did not dare to rashly enter the Earth in their true bodies.
However, according to the Lord's prophecy, both Ancient One and Odin are running out of time. This time Michael did not come in his real body, but adopted the method of divine descent and occupied the body of a believer.
One reason is to facilitate the search for the Lost Paradise Mountain, and another reason is to pave the way for Paradise to reoccupy the Earth before the two great guardians of the Earth fall.
The black colonel looked at the Pope suspiciously, then glanced secretly at the blond young man, somewhat confused about the relationship between the two.
However, a black man who can reach a position like colonel is not like his brainless compatriots. He knows the principle of being cautious in what he says and does.
The convoy slowly came out of the airport and headed towards the city of Laiang. The reason why it was so slow was that it had to go through five checkpoints before leaving the airport.
The soldiers on duty at these checkpoints are not from the same system, and they even belong to multiple countries. Even with special passes, these soldiers still use instruments to conduct detailed scans and inspections of the convoy.
To prevent weapons of mass destruction from being brought into the Ang area.
You know, even countries guide news information and public opinion.
There is no shortage of distrust towards the Leon Space Gate on the Internet. In the eyes of these people, the existence of the Space Gate is like an unstable bomb that may explode at any time. Among them are many doomsday theorists and cultists.
In recent years, there have been many terrorists who launched suicide attacks on the city of Lyon.
After the convoy left the airport, the speed began to increase. There were not many vehicles on this newly built highway that went straight to the city of Laiang. As the convoy passed by, the most common vehicles they encountered were military vehicles. Even some of the Hummers' mounted machine guns were loaded with live ammunition.
The convoy, driving at high speed, soon arrived outside the city of Lyon. Looking through the window, what caught the Pope's eyes was a circle of reinforced concrete wall that was tens of meters high.
On the walls, there were soldiers patrolling with guns everywhere, with machine guns pointed at the city without any concealment. Seeing the oncoming convoy, a dense swarm of reconnaissance drones flew up from the walls, hovering over the convoy like a swarm of bees.
Through the bulletproof glass, the Pope could even clearly see the small cigar missile carried on the belly of the drone.
The convoy had stopped when it approached the city wall gate. Several officers stepped forward and, after checking the convoy's passes, signaled to let it pass.
"It seems that you Freemasons have some power in the military!"
The Pope looked at the city wall receding behind him, nodded to the black colonel, and said.
The black colonel had a calm expression: "Your Majesty, this is only the outermost guard of the base. If you want to enter the core area, you must hold a corresponding pass. The inspection inside is more stringent. I have arranged a hotel. You and these people need to wait in the hotel!"
Strictly, the Pope nodded, indicating that he understood. As for Michael on the side, he was looking at the surrounding buildings and facilities, as well as the passers-by with great interest, just like a human being looking at a colony of ants crawling on the ground out of boredom.
... ... ..
The motorcade split up, with the rest of the Vatican being taken to the hotel, while the Pope and Michael were driven to the inner area by the black colonel himself.
Everything that happened along the way gave the old Pope, who had been bedridden for many years, a clearer understanding of the alien invasion in Leon.
The original Laiang city, with the space gate as its center, was built into a militarized fortress town with a radius of 50 kilometers.
Patrol Hummers and soldiers on duty can be seen everywhere on the ground, and on some reinforced concrete bunkers, one can see the black muzzles of guns protruding from the shooting holes.
Patrolling robots can be seen everywhere, and from their constantly turning heads you can tell that they are detecting energy fluctuations.
"Your Majesty, let me confirm again. You two are not carrying any weapons. The checkpoint ahead is not only equipped with the most advanced alien detection equipment, but also has mutants on duty. They can detect hidden energy reactions!"
After passing two checkpoints, the black colonel parked the car in a parking space nearby, opened the door for the old Pope and Michael, and gave instructions.
"Don't worry, we are not carrying any weapons!" said the old Pope, glancing at the nonchalant Michael.
The presence of this archangel is better than any weapon.
The black colonel nodded and led the two men towards the checkpoint ahead.
He was just an inconspicuous officer among the officers supported by the Freemasons. He was not even a middle-level Freemason. At most, he was a thug.
As he was not qualified to attend the secret meeting in the Vatican, he naturally did not know that the two people were not here to visit, but wanted to gain control of the space gate.
... ... .
“Hello, please show me your ID!”
In front of the huge alloy gate, an officer stepped forward, waved his hand to stop the three people, and the black colonel handed over three special passes.
Drop by drop—
The officer used an instrument to scan the documents, and after confirming that they were correct, he led the three people to the inspection table in front of the alloy door and stood on it.
A blue laser enveloped the three people and began to scan them from top to bottom.
The latest technology of the Tang Group can effectively identify facial masks, simulated faces, and magical monsters such as shapeshifters.
At the same time, it can also detect whether the target is carrying any weapons. Even if the weapon is hidden inside the body, it can be scanned out by the transmitted laser.
Currently, this technology has been introduced by security departments in many countries. If this technology is applied to airports, it can not only effectively prevent terrorist attacks.
The biggest impact is that it further compresses the living space of certain humanoid dark creatures.
Of course, all this is part of the plan of a certain black-hearted boss. Without living space in human society, can we move to another place to live, such as some sparsely populated dark world
After several rounds of testing, including instrument testing and manual testing, the three people finally passed the inspection. The more than two-meter-thick alloy door in front of them slowly opened a small door driven by mechanical gears.
The scene inside the door was beyond the Pope's expectations. The core space of the Leon Military Base was not as small as he had imagined.
On the contrary, the vast space was filled with people coming and going, and the ground was dotted with intersecting railway tracks. From time to time, you could see trains loaded with ore passing by.
If it weren't for the tight security on the outside, it would be hard to imagine that the interior of this military base looks like this.
He always thought that the space gate was in a white research room, which was full of people wearing protective clothing conducting research.
The black colonel led the two men to a station. After waiting for less than five minutes, a rail car similar to a sightseeing bus stopped next to the three men.
After the three of them got on the train and found a seat, the train started slowly. The black colonel seemed to see the Pope's doubts and took the initiative to explain:
"Your Holiness, the development of this space gate has been going on for more than a year or two. The World Security Council has already built a huge space base station opposite the space gate with a complete defense system. Moreover, our warships are now able to conduct preliminary interstellar navigation. A steady stream of mining ships can mine ores from nearby meteorite belts and uninhabited planets and transport them here through the space gate!"
The old Pope looked at all this in amazement. In the map of the rail bus, he even saw dozens of spaceships with extremely sci-fi shapes.
He had only been ill for a few years, but it felt like decades had passed in a flash, and the Earth had already entered the interstellar age!
Compared to the old Pope, Michael's eyes were fixed on the blue light gate that was getting closer and closer.
"Space Gem!" Michael chanted the name!
Standing under the space gate, the huge blue light gate made people suddenly realize their own insignificance. At the space gate, the old pope finally saw the researchers in white coats that he had imagined.
His eyes fell on the huge rolled-up animal skin above the light gate.
"grown ups!"
The Pope looked down at Michael beside him. Michael took a step forward, and a pure white light that no one could see clearly came to the door of the space.
With wings spread out behind him, Michael's Holy Spirit opened his hands and reached out to grab the Cosmic Cube that was releasing blue energy.
Before his hand could touch the Cosmic Cube, it was blocked by a stream of blue energy. Michael tried to use all her strength, and the wings behind her condensed holy light, and even a golden halo appeared above her head.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
"The Cosmic Cube has experienced a massive burst of gamma rays. Quick, quick, check the cube!"
Just as Michael's hands were tightly grasping the barrier outside the Cosmic Cube, the energy detection device in the base suddenly issued a shrill alarm, and then a large number of armed personnel and researchers rushed to the space gate.
These researchers from various countries used various instruments to detect the energy values of the Cosmic Cube and began to speculate on the cause of the gamma-ray burst.
However, neither the high-precision energy detection devices in their hands nor their naked eyes, including the patrolling sentry robots, seemed to see any trace of Michael.
Even under the eyes of everyone, Michael still did not loosen his hand that was grabbing the Cosmic Cube. He looked down at these mortals with disdain, as if he were looking at a busy ant.
However, the archangel who lowered his eyes did not notice that a small black head had popped out from the animal skin of the space gate at some point, and the golden boy was looking at her coldly.
... ... ... .
