Once I was guaranteed, I would leave the others alone and focus on the approaching huge mobile city above my head. M [Go to the novel ~]
In all fairness, the Traveler City is quite huge, especially as a mobile city. At least in terms of area, the big guy here may have surpassed the Isinger Mobile Fortress, but the two are not comparable in terms of specific performance.
Isinger Mobile Fortress is a flying city. The technical difficulty of the giant anti-gravity system is far more than that of the underwater navigation system. There is no comparison between the two. In addition, the Essinger Mobile Fortress flies at high altitudes and needs to deal with strong winds and low pressures. Therefore, the structural design is mainly to achieve air tightness and anti-expansion capacity. The Traveler City is an underwater city and it needs to fight It is water pressure instead of internal expansion force, and relatively speaking, Traveler City needs higher torsion resistance. After all, the density of water is much higher than air, so water flow can generate higher local pressure than air flow. This determines that the Traveler City may endure huge distortion forces at some moments. If the main frame of the city is not strong enough, it may be broken. However, on the other hand, although higher torsion resistance is required, the building materials of the Traveler City are easier to find than the Isinger Mobile Fortress. After all, the Isinger Mobile Fortress is a flying city. There are requirements, and Traveler City doesn't have to consider weight at all. Another huge difference is that Isinger Mobile Fortress needs to resist the pressure changes caused by the frequently changing air flow, so the fatigue resistance of building materials is very central. Relatively speaking, although the underwater environment is more stressed, the stability is much better, so the fatigue resistance requirements are not high.
In general, the two design requirements have their own characteristics, and it cannot be said who has the more advanced technology. However, I think that at least in terms of power, Traveler City is not comparable to our Isinger Mobile Fortress.
As the Traveler's City approached quickly, the sea floor around us began to shake, and some small pieces of sand bounced directly on the sea floor, then stirred the surrounding sea floor into chaos. Essinger Mobile Fortress as a flying city. Although the weight is controlled, it can still cause the disturbance of the neutral position in the nearby area, causing some unstable light and small objects to jump around on the ground. The Traveler City, which is an undersea city with a greater weight, is naturally more exaggerated. Otherwise, the sea floor is far more than the ground. To be sturdy, I wonder if there will be ground fissures around, and then spray a lot of magma.
Although the mud set off by the unstable gravity field affected my sight. But the impact on the enemy is even more serious. Anyway, my goal is a city. Compared with me, Traveler City is obviously easier to find, so the sand can be my cover, but it obstructs the other party's vision.
Hiding in the mud, watching the huge figure approaching the top of my head, even I started to be a bit unable to help my heart beat faster, but this effect will not have much effect on my mood. I still stood calmly waiting for it to reach the top of my head completely.
Just like Isinger ’s moving fortress seems to be moving slowly, it ’s actually pretty good. Traveler ’s speed does n’t look fast, but it ’s not really slow, although it ’s true compared to our underwater motorcycles. It's slow. However, the travel speed of Traveler City in time has exceeded the speed of most people walking, almost as fast as people jogging.
Just waiting for a while, the huge city finally completely covered the area above my head, and when I looked up from here, I could clearly see the countless scanning lights at the bottom of the city, and at the bottom of this huge city, except those There are many undulating structures beside the protruding searchlight.
Seen from such a close distance. I found that the construction process of Traveler City didn't seem to be very good, at least not compared with Isinger's Mobile Fortress. I don't know if it is because of the difficulty of underwater construction. The bottom of the Traveler City is not a whole piece. Although the shell of the Isinger Mobile Fortress is not a single piece of material, at least each of ours is large, and after the splicing is completed with a seamless connection, so although we know the shell of the Isinger Mobile Fortress Not a whole piece, but the fact that it can't be felt or seen. The only thing you can find outside of Isinger's Mobile Fortress is not the entire block, only the movable gates, detectors or weapon systems that extend outside the city. The main body of the city still looks quite flat. However, this bottom of Traveler's City is high and low. There are many places where very large traces of welding on the armor plate can be seen, and it feels like a patch. If only one or two patches are enough, but this patch is everywhere under the Traveler City, or the entire bottom is put together with this patch, the whole feels as if it is broken.
Looking at this tattered bottom, I could only shake my head helplessly, and then began to look for a possible entrance.
Although my fighting power is very strong, it is obviously difficult to destroy such a large thing from the outside. Even if the black flame is released, it may be tossing, and if the other party finds the attack, they start to escape and give up the original line. It may have an impact on our follow-up battle arrangements. After all, I ca n’t be sure that your two scouts who stayed outside will definitely leave a guidance signal. In case they are also found something, I wo n’t drag it by then. Living in Traveler City, that's all I have done.
Based on the above considerations, I finally chose to enter the city for destruction. No matter what is more fragile internally, as long as I let me in, I can destroy it. Speaking of it is that I do n’t want to waste. If I do n’t feel bad about the money, just throw in a few liquefied magic crystal steam storage tanks after entering the city. You can definitely make a few holes in the outer shell of the Traveler City. It didn't even matter if it didn't want to lie down. [Read the novel ~]
I was looking for the entrance intently. I didn't expect the entrance to come to me. Not far from the top right of my head, a piece of metal plate that looked like a patch suddenly spun up, and then after a few laps, it suddenly bounced out, and suddenly opened an entrance. There is light coming out.
It's ugly to say that the patch armor of Traveler City is ugly. I didn't expect it to play a camouflage effect. At least I didn't think that the patch would be a door. After all, this patch is almost everywhere at the bottom of the city.
It's easy to know where the door is, but now the door opens suddenly, and there is either something to come out or something to go in. So I haven't planned to check it out immediately. Sure enough, two black figures fell from the opened door less than two seconds after the door opened.
Figures should be two brigade soldiers, both riding on the brigade-style underwater motorcycle, immediately after leaving the hole, accelerated towards the end of the city, and after they left. The door also closed automatically, then rotated to re-tighten and completely closed the entrance.
Take a look around and make sure that no one else appears before I get out of the hidden sand. After being uncovered, I was quite obvious in the water, so I quickly rushed to the bottom of the Traveler City with the fastest speed possible, and then carefully moved towards the bottom of the city and climbed to the entrance I saw before.
Upon reaching the entrance, I checked the place carefully. The metal plate covering the entrance is a thin, irregular metal plate that is nearly rectangular, but not very regular. It can be seen with your eyes. There is no fixed connection between the metal plate and the bottom of the ship, which means that the mechanism that rotates it is the only connection body.
Since this thing is opened by rotation, naturally I can only turn it in the direction in which it is opened, but after a few trials, I found that there is a locking mechanism inside, and it couldn't turn at all. This result was also my expectation. I just tried it with luck, since I did n’t work hard, I just took out eternity and used the method that I was best at—violent cracking.
The thickness of this metal plate is not high by itself, and there is no defense at all when it meets eternity. It easily let me cut out a round piece along the opening, which just allowed me to drill in. But after entering, I found that there seemed to be a door. The only difference from the previous door is that there is a manual handle on the door, but I still closed the entrance I just cut out before I started to open the pressure door.
As an underwater city. Traveler City must have a lot of anti-leakage design, so I must seal the entrance, otherwise the door here will open, once the pressure inside the city is unbalanced, it will inevitably trigger emergency measures, and I will be likely to be found by then . So it is better to seal it in advance to reduce the possibility of detection.
In fact, when I opened the door in front of me, I found that what I had done before seemed a little redundant, because there was a door behind this pressure door. But since this is the case, it doesn't need to be multiple. Close the door below you, then open the door above your head, then head up and close it again.
After observing the door I just entered, I observed the surrounding environment and found that this place seemed to be a hangar. I am still in the water, but there is light above my head, and you can see from here that the water surface is less than four meters away from my petition, and there is still a circle of underwater motorcycles on the water surface.
Carefully approached the edge of this huge pool, and then hidden under several underwater motorcycles, followed me to pull a ghost worm from the wormhole on my wrist and put it on the wall. The Ghost Worm immediately climbed out of the water along the metal wall as soon as it touched the wall, then climbed onto one of the underwater motorcycles and began to observe the situation nearby.
At this time, most people would stretch out their heads to look at the situation outside, but because my dragon soul suit now has a long coat of hair on top of my head, if I observe the outside situation with a probe, my eyes have not yet reached the surface of the water. , The person above will see an upright hair, this one stood up and shouted, I am an intruder What is the difference? What's worse is that it is underwater now, and I still need the sealing effect of the helmet, so I can't remove the helmet, so I can only release the ghost beetle to help me observe the situation. But it's okay to use a ghost worm, at least it's safer than stretching my head. Even without the hair on my head, my head is more prominent than the phantom worm, so it is obviously safer to let the phantom worm go up than myself.
Through the sight of the ghost worm I quickly saw what was on the shore.
This room is indeed a hangar, and it is not very large. The place where I am is a pool. I don't know the length and width, but it should be more than twenty meters. The pool is surrounded by a metal platform. The grid design is used above. The ground grid of the entrance inspection area with mumble degree should have a similar function, which is to prevent too much entry into the city.
There are a lot of underwater motorcycles parked on a dedicated stand on that grid platform. In addition, there are many messy things nearby, some of which look like repair tools. It may be equipment used for maintenance. In addition, there is a door in the diagonal position of this room, which also looks like a pressure door, and three fishmen are standing next to one of the doors at this time.
The merman is not a human with a fish head. The facial features of these guys are not much different from humans. To make a difference, one is that the nasal bridge bone is much longer than humans, but it is not very warped, but it is flat on the face, and their eyes are much larger than humans, and they have no white eyes. The entire eyeball It's all black. (Read the novel.) Finally, the ears of these guys are not long. It is something like a fin, with a gill cleft behind it for underwater breathing. Of course, if you look down, you will find that there are webs on the fingers of these guys www.7ket, and there is almost no difference with humans.
The three mermaids seem to be arguing over why. One of them was more fierce, and the other two occasionally counterattacked, but they were basically being reprimanded, and they could see that their status was unequal.
There was no one else in the room except these three guys, and the three of them were arguing, one of them was still facing away from me. The other two were facing me sideways, and neither looked in this direction. Since the location is so good, I won't waste it. Quietly along the pool wall, the upper body protruded out of the water. Although the hair was standing tall, it was just a hair after all, and it was not very conspicuous, so people there still didn't notice me.
After successfully putting my hands on the wall of the pool, I directly raised my hand and pointed at the guy with my back facing me. I moved the adjuster with my left hand and set the strength. After that, my finger www.7ket moved. With a squeak, the guy suddenly shook and stopped.
The scolded guy among the two who were quarreling found that the companion who was scolded with him seemed a bit wrong. So I wanted to ask, but as soon as he turned his head, he heard a beep, and it was more obvious. Following the sound of a fall, he felt a headache in his head before he reacted, and then everything I no longer know.
Climbed ashore and walked to the door, and looked at the three fishmen on the ground. The first guy to hit the arrow is still standing there. A short crossbow shot from his back and penetrated directly. In the cavity, as long as he opened his mouth, the person in front could see a sharp arrow, but unfortunately his mouth was closed. The second guy who hits the arrow is the guy who is very arrogant. He is much more alert than this one. When he finds that something is wrong, he immediately notices me. Unfortunately, my movement is too fast. He just put his head in his head. Turning around, an arrow was nailed directly into his eyes, and a half arrow came out from the back of his head. Since then, that guy's response was obviously a little slow, everyone around him had died and hadn't found out what happened. Finally, I shot an arrow through the temple and died instantly.
After opening the Fenglong space and throwing the three corpses into it, I made some water directly from the side and washed away a small amount of blood on the metal mesh floor. Then I carefully turned the handle to open the door next to them.
This is also a pressure door. It needs to be turned to open the handle. After the passage, it is like a water passage with a length of two meters. The second door is in front of the passage. After opening the door, I didn't rush to pass, but tossed out the ghost worms I had released before.
From the perspective of the ghost worm, you can see that this is a quite large space. There are many underwater motorcycles parked there. In addition, there are some relatively large vehicles that look like turtles without heads. Of course, there are no tortoise shells on their backs. , But a flat piece. Obviously, the manufacturing technology of Traveler City is more than enough to deal with these small devices, and it does not need to be made into a beggar.
There is also a large pool like the one I just came over, but the area is at least ten times larger than that, and this pool is not rectangular, but a king-shaped, where the intersection of the middle of the king is very wide. Let the big ships turn around inside.
There are many transporters in this room, and there are naturally more people, and the platform here is not one floor, but divided into several floors. The floor where I am now is the ground floor, and I can walk directly to the edge of the pool. There is a circle of metal corridors along the wall, which is more than four meters high on the Internet. There are many messy pipes on it. It's more complicated than a spider's web. Anyway, the spider web is regular, but these pipes are densely crisscrossed. I don't know how to design it at first, and I don't know if it is a bit regular.
There is a layer of platform above this layer of platform at a distance of three or four meters, and there are also some pipes and switches on it. But the number is slightly smaller. Further up are two small platforms, not the whole circle, but only two small sections. In addition, one of them has a metal staircase erected, but the upper end of the staircase is suspended. Nothing. However, I quickly learned the usefulness of this staircase, because I found that a large aerial crane across the room was hoisting equipment on a tortoise ship to see the height, that staircase was prepared for the aerial pilot.
There are at least a hundred people in this large room, and they do everything. The roar of the machine is very noisy.
I just briefly observed it, and then directly asked Emerson to add a layer of illusions to simulate me into a relatively rare fish-man race here. I saw three of these mermaids in this room. They are different from other mermaids in that they have a gem on top of their head that is like a third eye.
The reason why this looks like this is mainly because I find that these three seem to have a high status here, and all the mermaids passing by must say hello or nod to them. The three of them did not respond at all, and others did not seem to care, which shows that the three of them are in a higher position, at least the foremen.
After becoming like this, I walked out of the room with a big swing. Anyway, the ability of the undersea race to resist illusions is very bad. This is probably related to the underwater environment. After all, the bottom of the sea is basically dark, and everyone mainly relies on sonar and other capabilities to locate, so the optical illusion becomes more useless. but. Because optical illusions are not very useful here, the undersea race also lacks countermeasures. This is like an alien race without optical vision, no matter how advanced the technology is, it will not invent sunglasses. Who does n’t need to delve into the things that are not used at all?
With the image of a senior fisherman, I easily got into the crowd. The mermaids around me saw me without doubt and saluted me, and I did not respond like the three higher mermaids. The surrounding low-lying fishmen did not respond.
I didn't rush out because the identity didn't seem to be a problem. Instead, I made a round in the room, mainly looking at the submarine transporters, to roughly confirm the level of technical level of the Traveler City. Even if this kind of city is finally beaten down, I definitely need to search for it, so it is not bad to know in advance.
During my patrolling around, a high-level fisherman also happened to pass by me. At first, I was a little nervous, but the other person saw me coming but had no reaction at all, just nodded with me After that, I nodded as usual, but the other party did not have any doubt.
After this, I confirmed the deceptiveness of this appearance, so I started to search around.
Because this room is very large, it is impossible to have only one door. I checked all the doors on my identity, and several of them were small transport cabins similar to the one I just sneaked in. I guess that kind of place is like a small door opened on some gates. It is mainly convenient for a small number of people to enter and exit when the gate is not open, and the main door will only open under special circumstances.
In addition to the easy-to-access cabins, I also found some places similar to the control room. There were mermaids in those control rooms. When I found such a room for the first time, I was afraid of the other person's suspicion. Who knew that those guys would burst out from their seats as soon as I entered. I pretended to reach out and pressed down twice, and those fishermen sat back to their positions and started to do their work.
I stood behind them and looked at the console they were operating on. There are also a lot of pipes under these things, and the console is not a simple button, but a long handle handle one by one, depending on how they operate, it is quite laborious to pull those handles.
Because I was afraid to attract attention, I did n’t dare to stay in the first room. I also left in the next few rooms. The result of the confirmation was that the control platform in this place did n’t seem to be electronically controlled, but some kind of mechanical transmission It is a hydraulic control method. Although I didn't take a closer look at those pipes, the results of scanning with the mental force field showed that they might all be steam pipes and the pressure was high.
Combine this information. I found that the power technology in this place seemed worse than the mumble, and many things were steam powered. To be honest, this conclusion confused me all. Here it is underwater. Steam power means that it needs to be heated by heating, and it also needs to generate water vapor. In the water environment of the ocean floor, let alone the problem of burning, even if you can find special items that can burn underwater, it is too much trouble to isolate the water and heat it. If you knew the direction of development from the beginning, it would be okay to say, without knowing the direction of development at all. Who is bored to do this kind of thing underwater?
"It's a weird design!" After sighing in words, I still couldn't find the doubt in my heart, so I decided to leave this room and take a look outside.
The previous exploration has let me know the location of the channel for going out, but the exits of this place seem to be quite a lot, but I can only find a direction that points to the end of the city and leave. It needs to be said here that Traveler City and Isinger Mobile Fortress are not the same. Essinger's mobile fortress is practically indistinguishable, in fact it is not even left or right. Essinger Mobile Fortress is a square of equal length on all four sides, and the weapons on all four sides are basically the same. There is no difference at all except for the slightly smaller weapon in the water port because of the waterproof gate. As for the direction of movement, this is not even a problem. The driving device at the bottom of the Isinger Mobile Fortress is separate. Each unit has its own rotating chassis, and the steering mechanism of the entire city is built on a huge rotating platform. That is to say, the Essinger Mobile Fortress can actually walk sideways and backwards. It can be opened as much as you want, except for the inertia caused by the inability to move horizontally after the anti-gravity device is activated and the city's own mass. Beyond the movement in motion, Isinger's mobile fortress has no restrictions on the direction of movement. However, Traveler City has this limitation.
The whole of Traveler's Town seems to be an irregular long oval. If you want to describe an object. You can refer to the form of cockroaches. The shape of Traveler City is like a giant cockroach, but the bottom is relatively flat, and it is basically the same as a cockroach.
Because of this oblong shell. Therefore, it is of course impossible for Traveler City to have no front and back. In fact, the front and back of the city are very clear. I thought there were two things on the head of the city that extended like tentacles of cockroaches. In addition, there is a special external thruster at the rear of this Traveler City, but there is no such thing in the head.
My task is mainly to stop the Traveler City, and then to facilitate the large army of mumbles to find it. So although I entered here for the first time, I didn't know the way. But at least I remember the direction. Since it is necessary to paralyze its propeller, it is naturally necessary to go near the propeller, so it must be right to go in the future.
After coming out of that huge cabin, I did not continue to run forward rashly, but still sent a large number of ghost worms to hit me in front of the station, the most important thing is to leave the situation of unexpected personnel. Although the mermaid with crystal on his head is very high in the workspace just now, who knows their true identity? What if they are not allowed to go elsewhere? It's like if you see a mayor in a certain city, everyone around him respects him very much, and then you pretend to drill into a national military base, isn't that to death? Different areas will always have different access rights, which is not to say that if you have a high status, you will definitely be able to enter those areas with low status. Minions also exist in important places such as the National Nuclear Armed Forces Base. Even if you are the mayor and governor, you have a much higher status than a minion, but you should not enter that kind of place. I'm afraid that this mermaid with a crystal on his head is a technical officer who specializes in ship repairs. He has a high status in the maintenance area, but if he goes to a place where he should not enter, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, my caution was not wasted. I didn't really see the kind of mermaid with a crystal on his head, but there were a lot of ordinary mermaids. In addition, I found a very special existence in the outer area. These guys look similar to humans, and are handsome men and women regardless of their gender. These guys all wear a light golden light armor that looks gorgeous, and there are many crystal parts on the armor, which look very beautiful.
The number of such people in the outside area is also very small, and their heads are raised high as they walk, as if their eyes are in the nostrils. Unlike the previous mermaids with crystals on their heads, these people seem to have a very high status. But they seem not to be respected but fearful, because as long as they see their natives, they will immediately retreat to both sides of the road and bow their heads. They will not be able to return to normal until they pass. There is a fear in his heart.
Regarding the identity of such personnel, though, I also want to impersonate. But when I think about it, I still feel uneasy, so I have to turn into an ordinary mermaid's shape, and then go out and secretly catch a mermaid who has seen the handsome guys and girls before pulling to the hidden place to start interrogation.
Of course the will of the average merman is not so strong, and it is easy for me to get the information I need. The group of guys who looked very beautiful were actually mermaids. The mermaid family is the mermaid family, and the mermaid family is exactly two concepts. Although their race names are just a reversal of the two words, the strength of the two races is a hundred thousand miles away.
According to the explanation of the ordinary mermaid, the mermaids belong to one of the highest status groups in the ruling class. The political form used in Traveler City is an ancient parliamentary system, somewhat similar to the Senate. There is a town owner in Traveler City, but in my opinion it is more appropriate to call the king. This king has a seat in the Senate, which is equivalent to the chief veteran, of course, and Hitler's head is not a concept.
Although the chief veteran has a high status. But it is not a single word. At least many things he can't control. Compared with ordinary veterans, his only advantage is that he has incomplete veto power and one-to-ten voting right. That incomplete veto power means that it is not primarily a resolution passed by all other patriarchs. He can veto with one vote, and because it is rare to have a full vote, the chief veteran actually has a veto. In addition, the one-to-ten voting right means that the chief veteran's vote is equal to the average veteran's ten votes, because the veteran's house actually has only 33 people in total. So in many cases, the chief veteran's vote can directly decide whether to pass the resolution.
According to the Murloc, the city owner, His Excellency the Chief Elder. Is a mermaid, and in addition to the head of the Senate, there are eight mermaid seats. According to the previous voting right of ten, it means that the mermaids actually have eighteen votes in the Senate, and other races can add 24 to vote. As long as the mermaids draw a little race, they can directly get More than half are supported. Moreover, the chief veteran's veto power is also fierce enough, and the bills that are not good for their mermaids will never pass.
Except these mermaids. It is said that there are eight races among the remaining twenty-four senators in this Senate, and there are only two seats except the Murloc. The Sea Orcs have four seats, and the remaining races have three seats per group. The result of this distribution is that the mermaid has taken the absolute leading position here. In fact, this is not an exaggeration alone. When I know the proportion of the population here, I know how exaggerated this status is. Because, according to the introduction of this ordinary mermaid, the actual number of mermaids in Traveler City is less than one percent of the total population of the city, while the mermaids with the least seats actually occupy more than 70% Population ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Powerful races are really powerful races everywhere, even as a minority! "
After lamenting the situation here, I directly chose to be a mermaid, because I just learned from this mermaid that the total population of the Traveler City is close to 1.5 million, which means that the number of mermaids is at least one If there are more than 10,000 people, of course, it is impossible for all mermaids to know each other, so they do not have to worry about posing when they are discovered, and their status determines that these mermaids can basically go sideways here, and No one dared to stop.
After asking for the required information, I should rule out my tongue so as not to cause trouble, but I did n’t do that, because under Ling ’s spiritual magic, I actually got an unexpected message from this guy ’s mouth, and that was this He was actually a member of the resistance group.
The Murlocs, which account for more than 70% of the total population, are the lowest-ranked race here. They do the most and eat the least. This status is not surprising when resistance organizations appear, but I did not expect such a coincidence to come across one. . In fact, I can ask that information before because of the identity of this guy, the average mermaid does not know so much information.
"Is the resistance group? It looks like it can be used."
