Chapter 14 Fortress Experiment(1/2)
After returning to Aisinger, I began to direct everyone to prepare various infrastructure for the upcoming treasures. The three tragic beasts who made mistakes were worried that they would be punished and did not dare to object to the Heavenly Court to compensate their treasures for their losses. I handed them over them obediently. I soon waited for various treasures.
After the things arrived, I began to command everyone to put the things aside and install them one by one. The first one was installed was the magic arrow, because it was the first one I brought back to prepare its base. Aisinger has the most exquisite large hydraulic chassis. Super missiles such as magic arrows are most suitable for this chassis. Four turret-like buildings were prepared for them to hide them. The launcher's position was selected to be installed on the top of the command layer at the highest point, and the missile launcher was placed at four corners, so that the launch angle was wider, and the height was conducive to missile positioning.
Four boundary towers are installed on the platform on the top of the foundation layer. When the intermediate layer and the foundation layer are connected, the four towers are just on the four corners of the intermediate layer.
Although the Ruyi Altar is not small, it is much lighter than those towers. We put it in the central garden on the middle floor. Anyway, any wish can be realized. Anyone who wants to try it can do it. It is easier for everyone to make a wish in a spacious place. There is no need to move this thing at all, just use some clips to fix it on the ground and don’t run around.
The simplest thing is the Shenwu Wind Chime. Just hang it at the four top corners inside the foundation layer. Of course, protective measures must be done, but those are all small things.
After reading the book on military arts, the people in our guild said that it was actually a magic circle. The structure was very simple, but it must be enough to cover the entire city. I asked them to brush this magic circle with gold paint mixed with crystal powder on the ground of the city. The huge magic circle covers the entire city, and it will automatically start during important wars. Except for Aisinger, other cities also need to brush such magic circles, but those cities cannot be directly brushed on the ground. They must cover a layer of floor tiles so that others cannot see them.
In addition to the things she got back from the Heavenly Court, Vina also helped her very enthusiastically. With her real body, she naturally understood the importance of my status. In the past, she had just taken care of me simply, but now she has become a complete help. Of course, due to the system's restrictions, she cannot do too much, but some small busyness is not a problem. For example, now she has strange symbols drawn everywhere in Aisinger's city. According to her, these symbols are ancient spells that can make the city stronger.
Our city is still underway for the final construction, and Ashufude suddenly came. This guy was stunned when he walked out of the transnational teleportation array. He has been here several times. He knows what Ai Singer looked like in the past, but now he is completely stunned.
Ashufude watched me for a long time in the city before he met me outside the city. As soon as he saw me, he immediately asked in surprise: "Is this the rebuilt Aisinger?"
I nodded. "How do you feel?"
Ashufude stretched out a finger and pointed it up, down, left and right for a long time and said, "Well...! How do you say it! The first feeling is that it is more practical than before, and the area of the single layer seems to have increased a lot, but according to this arrangement, it seems that the total area is not as good as before."
"Well. The area of the new city covers 21.7% larger than before, but the actual area inside is only 87.1% original. Many of them are mechanical areas. The areas that are often entered are actually less than 40% of the previous ones."
"Why are you so much smaller?"
I thought for a while and said, "The most direct reason is that there are fewer layers. Originally, there are 16 floors in the ground, but now there are only 10 floors. If 6 floors are missing, the area is not as large as before. As for the use area, because the whole city has used mechanized transformation, machines and pipelines occupy too much space, so there is less space for people to use. In fact, we deliberately reduce the use area. The original Aisheng was too large. Many places are empty and sparsely populated. Now we make things tighter and easier for everyone to live in a concentrated manner. As for the space vacant, all the spaces are turned into space for weapon systems. It is no exaggeration to say that Aisheng is now a mobile fortress with more firepower than a large fleet, and we have air force, and the combat power is definitely more than three times stronger than before."
Asu Fude glanced at the city and said, "It seems to be a little taller than before!"
"Did you see that too?"
"Of course." Asu Fude said confidently: "The visual height should be more than 100 meters higher than before! But it turns out that the spirit gathering tower cannot be counted. I am talking about the main body of the city."
I excitedly said to Ashufude: "Do you want to know why Aisinger is taller than before?"
"Yes!" Ashufude asked curiously: "Isn't it because the layers have increased? The original city was symmetrical, with 8 of the 16th floors underground. Now, the 10th floors are all above the ground, of course, it's high."
"Hahahaha! It's not that simple." I smiled and said, "In fact, the height of each floor has been lowered. The city should be much shorter than before, but now it has become higher. The real reason is the bottom floor. We have some new equipment inside, so the city has become much higher."
"New equipment? What's it? Is it practical? What are you doing?" Ashufude was excited when he heard about the new equipment.
I deliberately upset his appetite. "Actually, this thing doesn't have much technical content, it's just a basic transformation. If it's really your equipment."
“My device?”
I was about to answer him when Womao suddenly ran over and said, "President, the city has been completed. Do you need to experiment?"
I said to Ashufude: "It's just right for you to take a look. Woma. Tell everyone that Aisinge will conduct a functional test immediately and ask all the personnel to prepare immediately."
"OK."
Half an hour later, the city that was completely renewed was ready. The new Aisinge was about to be truly resurrected.
It was afternoon now, and the Sky Stone absorbed the sunlight. The black city had turned into a sky blue. Ashufude and the main personnel in the guild stood outside the city and watched Ashinger perform functional tests. In Ashufude's surprised gaze, the huge jack at the bottom of Ashinger began to unfold slowly. The city first shook for a while and then began to rise slowly.
"Zi Ri, what is this?" Ashufude was completely scared by this huge jack.
"Hehe. Don't be excited for now, the good thing is still behind!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a clicking sound, and some armor plates at the bottom of the city began to open outwards. The modular armor spread outwards and revealed a huge hole. Almost as the armor was fully unfolded, some huge machinery painted with yellow and black stripes stretched out. When these things were stretched out halfway, Ashufude shouted: "Crawlers? Zi Ri, is that a track?"
I nodded: "It's the track, the track we customized for Aisinger."
It was not until this time that Ashufude suddenly realized. "Are the huge metal parts you ordered from our guild some time ago for it? Otherwise, my people said that those things cannot be connected at all!"
Rose, who was standing next to me, laughed: "Our own production line was also destroyed. After it was repaired, there was no way to produce so many equipment at the same time. So I ordered part of it from you. Of course, we still have to protect the commercial secrets, so we made the connecting equipment ourselves, and what we gave it to you was to make only large keels for support. In addition, we ordered other parts from other forces. You are only responsible for one part, and even if you want to imitate it, you can't figure out what we are building. How about it? Our confidentiality is still up to date, right?"
"You are so smart that you actually thought of ways to produce parts separately and then transport them together and assemble them together. In fact, I wouldn't be able to build such a big mobile city even if you told me. Our guild doesn't have that much money to build such a large mobile city, no. Not only is it so big, even if it's smaller, even if it's only one-tenth of this one, then it's not something we can afford to use up the land."
Rose smiled and said, "Actually, we can't afford it, but someone paid for me this time. And most of the money I made in Indonesia some time ago was spent."
Asu Fude shouted dissatisfiedly: "What's that little money? Even if you throw all the money auctioned in Indonesia, it will be a profit of 10,000! You just bought a real city with the money you bought from the city model."
I immediately said, "I know we make a lot of money, but this is the compensation from the original city, and it cannot be considered a complete profit. In the past, Aisinger also had to count money. But I admit that he did take advantage of it."
When we were talking, the huge tracks had been fully extended, and 400 tracks landed at the same time, and then a squeaking metal parts were pressed down and made a sound. Although we used large and lightweight materials and we also removed a lot of unnecessary equipment, Esinger was a city after all, and the weight was still not light. The grounding area of 400 tracks was already very large, but the ground still could not fully bear such a large pressure. All tracks were sunk for more than two meters before they were considered to be implemented. However, this depth was not enough for huge tracks. Calculated in proportion, the sinking ratio of this depth was smaller than the sinking ratio of regular tank tracks on the ground.
When all the tracks were successfully grounded, Womao used the leaves of the New City Tree to issue operating instructions to the New City Tree. "Collapse the central support frame."
With a click, the big jack in the center of the city began to rise slowly. Since there was a smooth sky stone under the jack, it did not bring much soil after it was put away. It took two minutes and twenty-seven seconds to retract the big jack, and the large machinery was really slow!
Woma picked up the leaves again. "City Tree, convey power to the thruster, don't be too big, just a little bit."
With a creaking sound, 400 huge tracks roared at the same time. A metal twisted sound. The city actually started to move. This time it was different from when it was only framed at the beginning. The city is very heavy now, and this is its real situation. It must be considered qualified if it can operate normally under such conditions.
Aisinger finally started moving, and his initial performance was pretty good. I also picked up the leaves of the City Tree, and asked it to speed up while using its root system to check the pressure to the parts. Once there was danger, stop the test immediately. As the speed gradually increased, those of us standing next to us could clearly feel the shaking of the earthquake under our feet. When this giant moves, it will shake the earth and the mountains. I guess in the future, if you want to secretly approach the enemy, unless you pass from the sky, the enemy will feel the vibration dozens of kilometers away.
The speed gradually increases. The safety speed of the city tree has calculated. Because the city is too heavy and the support system is very burdened. With the full combat configuration, the maximum battle speed of the city can reach the speed of ordinary people jogging at most. Although the maximum safety speed can reach the speed of human jogging, considering international practices, the equipment will generally leave a safe range, so we limit the normal cruise speed of the city to the speed of ordinary people walking normally. Unless there is an emergency, the maximum battle speed must not be entered.
After testing the speed of the ground, Ashufud was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but what happened next surprised him even more. Aisinger stopped first and then began to rise. When the city rose 50 meters and hovered, the tracks began to retract the inside of the city, the armor plate returned to its position to close the hole, and the city completely returned to its appearance when it was on the ground.
Ashufude asked: "Although the city can move on the ground or fly, it's a pity that it can't fly in the air. What a pity!"
I smiled and said, "I'll let you see a miracle right away."
"Miracle? What did you say?" Ashufude asked me.
I pointed at Ashford, and quickly looked over. Inside Ashford, the gravity resistance device in the track clamp that had just been dragged up by the city was still working, but on the track ring in the center of the city, all the equipment like trams suddenly lit up. These things made a slight vibration and gradually became brighter. At the same time, the gravity resistance device under the track was gradually reducing its power and finally shutting down.
At this time, Aisinger was dragged and parked in the air by the ground device under the track ring, but people outside could not see the changes. The devices under the track ring suddenly began to operate, and the steel guide wheels began to rotate, and the friction force caused the track to start moving in the reverse direction. Under Ashufud's surprised gaze, Aisinger actually rotated. After the city slowly rotated 135 degrees, the wheels on the devices stopped pulling at the same time. The city relied on inertia to continue rotating. When the rotation angle reached 165 degrees, some strange clamp-like equipment stuck the wheels. These were actually brake pads, but the shape was not very different. The wheels gradually slowed down and transmitted the force to the track ring, and the track ring then transferred the force to the entire city. After rotating 180 degrees, Aisinger finally stopped accurately. The brake device controlled by the City Tree was indeed very accurate.
It was not until the city stopped completely. Ashufude remembered to grab me and shouted: "What is that? Have you developed a solution to the problem of space locking of gravity resistance device? Tell me quickly, how did that thing move? I am willing to pay for it, you can do anything."
"Calm down." I held Ashufude down and said, "Don't hurry first, can you talk until the demonstration is over?"
"Is there anything else to show?" Ashufude asked strangely.
"Even if not, at least you have to let me finish the test!"
"Okay!" Ashufude calmed down quickly.
Energy brushes popped up on Aisinger's track support frame. These energy brushes touched the energy probes extending outside the track clamp, so these gravity resistance devices were quickly activated. After the gravity resistance devices under the track ring were activated, the devices under the track ring quickly turned off the power. The city tree controlled the power pipes to start transporting energy to the engine of the track thruster, and the huge tracks began to rotate, and then the city naturally moved.
Ashufud opened his mouth and watched Aisinger panning in the sky, then turned around and asked, "How fast can this thing run?"
"Don't worry! This is our first test, and the results will come out soon."
Aisinger's power is actually very large. Its movement speed is not limited because the resistance is greater than the power. It is because we are worried that the city's speed is too fast, which will cause huge kinetic energy to disperse the support structure. The ground is affected by the terrain. The support structure is under great pressure, so no matter how we do it, we cannot increase the speed. However, the air is different. There are no obstacles here, so the speed can be slightly faster. However, the air is not flat. The changes in the air flow have a great impact on the city. The area of Aisinger makes it seriously affected by the air flow, especially those gas wells, which are like pit holes on the ground. Cars rush through large pits on the ground at high speed and can easily break the suspension system, while aircraft encounter large gas wells in the air. When Aisinger moves on the ground, it is like a car, and after taking off, it is similar to an airplane. Both of these are very dangerous.
After our test, we concluded that although the gas well is also very dangerous, it is much better than uneven ground. With safety as the premise, Aisinger's maximum air speed can reach 30 kilometers per hour. Although this speed is still very slow, it is at least much better than on the ground. However, there is a prerequisite that Aisinger cannot stop instantly at this speed. Aisinger's ground safety speed is 5 kilometers per hour, which can ensure that the city stops within 100 meters, but not in the air. The speed of 30 kilometers per hour is very dangerous for Aisinger. If you want to stop at this speed, you must start deceleration 10 minutes in advance. During this period, you will rush out more than 1,000 meters before you can completely stop.
After the air and ground tests, we started the final water test. The three basic levels of Isinger have ceilings, and all entrances have waterproof partitions made by Atlantis, which means that Isinger will not have water intake at all. Because most of the materials used in the entire city are very light, and the internal space is large, Isinger's in the water will not completely sink.
We plan to go to the city to feel it in this test. After everyone entered the city, Aisinger began to move towards the sea. Because the city is relatively large, the water depth at the seaside is definitely inappropriate, so we must fly to the deep sea. After more than two hours, Aisinger began to slowly descend. Such a big guy should not go into the water too quickly. Otherwise, it would turn into a tsunami.
The heavy fog created by the Shenwu Wind Chime blocked a large area around. The nearby fleet avoided the fog far away when they saw the fog. No one would be so stupid that they rushed into the fog. After the city touched the water, we slowly reduced the power of the gravity resistance device, and the city began to slowly decline because there was no sufficient support. When these gravity resistance devices were completely closed, Aisinger finally floated on the sea surface. Due to weight issues, the entire foundation layer had been completely launched, and the middle layer and command layer were on the water surface like a small island. Because the gravity resistance device had been completely closed, the city began to shake like a ship, but the shaking was very slight. The waves of such a big land could no longer affect it too much. The mechanical layer at the bottom of Aisinger was simply the best ballast, and the city floated very steadily on the sea.
Ashufude said excitedly: "Now, you have a super sea fortress, and the fleet will probably be gone in the future."
I smiled and said, "Isinger cannot replace the fleet. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is indeed much more powerful than the fleet. But this guy is too slow. As long as they think, most warships should be able to avoid it safely!"
"That's right." Ashufude also understood that speed was Aishinger's only flaw. "Okay, Zi Ri, you are already lucky enough. Although Aishinger is not fast enough, it is not a warship. Its target should be the enemy's city. Other people's cities will not run, so it doesn't matter if you are slow."
“This is.”
Ashufude said: "Actually, I think it's very easy for you to attack the city. As long as you fly to the top of someone's head and fall down, no city can withstand the weight of your city, and it will definitely be crushed."
"You'd better not come up with bad ideas! Aisinger's defense is indeed high enough. But if you use your own weight to press, the bottom of the city will definitely be broken. It's not cost-effective to use Aisinger to exchange for other people's small cities."
"Just your stuff is expensive!"
"What can I do? There is no good product. Good product is not cheap. Americans know about the HSB strategic bomber? The takeoff weight is almost as fast as the airship, the speed is not much slower than the fighter, and it also has anti-radar and anti-infrared rays. However, one aircraft costs 15 billion. As long as one is dropped, the US military and political circles will have to replace a large number of people. Everyone says that that thing is more expensive than the president. The same is true for my city. Although it is the best in attack and defense, the cost is definitely the best. This time, a sucker helped me pay the bill. I could just get it in one step. After that, I can only use it carefully. I can still repair the peripheral equipment. If I damage a whole layer of equipment, I will go bankrupt."
"It's a little expensive. But it's a great value!" Ashufude suddenly shouted. "By the way. The gravity resistance device is not only upward. What happens if you increase the pressure and go down?"
"You mean to turn Aisinger into a submarine? We have thought about it a long time ago. It is indeed feasible, but unfortunately, the speed will probably be slow and unimaginable after diving."
"Why?" Ashufude couldn't understand my words. "Why are you slow if you are motivated enough?"
Woma explained: "This is not a matter of motivation, but a matter of appearance."
"What's wrong with the appearance?"
"Aisinger is not a submarine. It does not have a perfect fluid shape. If it is completely drained, it can only move slowly. As long as the speed is fast, the upper structure will bear the resistance of the ground, it will make the city rise backward. If we use gravity to resist the device to press hard, the city will break, and if it is not pressed, it will simply turn off. Therefore, if you dive, the speed cannot be accelerated. However, we know a way to move quickly on the water surface."
"water surface?"
"Well. Just find the corresponding current and run along the current. The speed should be able to reach the speed of an ordinary warship, at least faster than on land and the sky. The city is larger and can accept the thrust of water well, which is definitely the most suitable for drifting."
"I think it's better to forget it!" Ashufude said: "Most ocean currents in the world cannot be used. Because they are all turbulent currents. The only few urgently used ocean currents are far away from you, and they are not something you can use."
I nodded. "Actually, we didn't plan to run in the sea. The reason for going into the water is to save energy. The gravity resistance device is designed by your guild, and you should know this better than me. Aisinger's propulsion method determines that it will use a gravity resistance device to consume a lot of energy, but energy is the most precious thing, and we really have no choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to spend so much effort to make the city run on the ground. Flying with the gravity resistance device is indeed spectacular. The safety and speed are better than the ground, but the gravity resistance devices you designed are simply burning money!"
Ashufude actually patted my shoulder and laughed: "Haha, you finally know my pain? Do you think I sold the gravity resistance device to you? Don't I know how to use such precious strategic materials? It's all because of the terrifying consumption speed of the gravity resistance device. I think it's a useless technology that has no great value at all. So it's sold to you so cheaply."
"So that's how you plan, you are. No wonder you sold it so cheaply!"
I was about to hit Ashufude, but he suddenly blocked my fist and said, "Don't just talk about me! You are not a good person. Those high-end steels are so expensive to sell. If it weren't for the quality of them, and those that were not sold elsewhere, I wouldn't have spent so much money to buy them!"
I smiled awkwardly: "It's tacit! Hahaha!"
Xingyue, who was standing next to him, touched his arm and shivered: "Two profiteers!"
Rose smiled and said, "It is because they are all profiteers that they have worked together for so long. Utopia without foundation will always be just a dream."
To be continued...
