Chapter 348 AN-13 Floating Island Market(1/2)
Seeing the form of the mecha in this picture, Shen Feng couldn't help but nod slightly, marveling at the beast-like form of this mecha and the beauty of fluid mechanics it displayed.
Speaking of which, this giant mechanical armor has eight legs and some mechanical tentacles. The overall shape is not a simple humanoid mecha, but rather imitates the shape of those exotic beasts.
The amount of engineering and technological content required for such a huge steel behemoth is completely beyond the level of human science and technology that Shen Feng understands, and he does not know how human civilization in this world achieves it.
In fact, it is possible to make such a metal shape. As long as massive industrial capabilities are mobilized, it can still be barely completed with the industrial systems of China and Eagle.
The biggest problem is actually the power of this thing.
An aircraft carrier has already reached the 100,000-ton level. This giant mechanical battle armor that can reach 1,000 meters is probably hundreds of millions of tons.
To move such a huge thing, the power required completely exceeds the energy output that humans currently have control over.
Not even a nuclear reactor.
It is absolutely impossible to push the traditional working medium.
Unless there is a breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion technology, which has yet to be broken through, there is only a glimmer of possibility.
It's just a trace.
After all, the energy reactor is to be installed on the giant mechanical armor, which involves the stability and miniaturization technology of the nuclear fusion reactor.
Solving these problems will take time.
I believe that those alien behemoths will never give humans this time.
He then asked Old Bill:
"How much do you know about the Holy Armor? Does the Holy Armor still exist in this world?"
Consecrating the technological creations of the past is the only way for every world that has lost civilization, and Shen Feng understands this very well.
Old Bill was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Holy Armor... The living Holy Armor only exists in legends and history, but it is said that there is still a huge island in the far east, which can even be called a continent. The last living Holy Armor exists there... As for us here... I have only seen the existence of holy corpses, that is, dead holy armors..."
Under Old Bill's narration, Shen Feng gradually understood that the super giant mechanical armor that could move was what humans in this world call the Holy Armor.
The mechanical armor that is damaged and only remains is called a holy corpse.
Some floating island markets are built on holy corpses. It is said that such places can still be protected by the remaining power of the holy corpses and will not be attacked by large sea beasts.
Moreover, those floating island markets have their own names, which are actually the names of the former Shengjia.
Ordinary floating island markets only have some code names.
Shen Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It wouldn't be bad to find the remains of a super-giant mechanical armor. If there are any equipment inside that can operate, I can get some data through these equipment and understand what happened in the world after the tsunami broke out.
And what exactly is he facing now.
The mission this time was different from the previous ones. From beginning to end, the "Real Doomsday Game" system did not give him the mission content, and it seemed that he had simply forgotten about it.
He had to figure out many things on his own.
However, there is only one way to complete the mission, which is to eliminate the threats faced by human civilization in this world and rekindle the fire of civilization.
I just don’t know if we need to retreat all the sea water in this world.
If that's the case, you'll be very busy...
Seeing that Old Bill couldn't explain why, Shen Feng waved his hand to indicate that he could continue to hunt for treasures in the floating garbage patch without taking care of himself.
Old Bill burst into tears with gratitude, bowed to Shen Feng, and immediately turned around and threw himself into the sea. He found a new tire as his treasure hunt boat and pulled the tire to salvage it from the sea.
At this time, the sun gradually dropped below the sea level, the stars moved around, and the sky turned into darkness.
The stars were shining brightly, and there was half a moon hanging in the sky, which made the sea surface not so dark, and I could vaguely see the surrounding scenery.
The school of fish had already left at this time, and the dolphins and seabirds that had been hunting around the school of fish also scattered and disappeared into the distance.
There are also many seabirds that settle directly on the floating garbage and even build simple nests using the garbage.
At this time, the pirates had no time to think about anything else. They were all desperately picking up all kinds of useful floating garbage by moonlight and starlight.
They even found a sofa that had not completely fallen apart, carried it to the pirate ship, and presented it to Shen Feng, the benevolent pirate captain.
It turned out that Shen Feng killed the old pirate captain and became the new captain. Those pirates who didn't know the root cause were still dissatisfied, but they just didn't dare to speak out.
But when Shen Feng announced that he didn't need any of their offerings, the pirates burst into tears of gratitude and recognized their new captain.
Shen Feng sat lazily on the cleaned sofa, watching the pirates happily fishing for various "treasures" in the water under the moonlight, listening to the calls of seabirds and the sound of fish jumping out of the water. I suddenly had the illusion that I was really a pirate captain in the apocalypse.
At this moment, patches of green fluorescence suddenly lit up on the sea surface, which looked like dots of starlight on the bottom of the sea. It was really beautiful.
It’s the plankton in the garbage floating belt that lights up fluorescently at night!
Immediately afterwards, a giant whale suddenly jumped up not far away, rushed out of the sea, drew a perfect arc, swallowed countless fluorescent plankton and garbage fragments, and then fell back into the sea. A melodious whale cry.
Shen Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this huge garbage floating belt has become a complete and huge ecosystem, supporting countless living things.
Including those humans who are still hanging on.
The collection of garbage went on all night. By early the next morning, the pirates couldn't find new tires or door panels that could hold the garbage, so they had to give up temporarily.
However, they are satisfied with their current harvest.
Each pirate has a small mountain of garbage, which is filled with all kinds of useful plastic bottles, tires, straws, keyboards, billboards and other items.
Each of these pirates' loot was piled up to the size of a pirate ship, and in the end they were all tied to the pirate ship through cables, making the pirate ship look much smaller.
After dawn, the wind direction changed slightly, and the huge floating garbage belt also drifted towards the depths of the ocean, starting to move away from the pirate ship.
The pirates watched the garbage floating belt leave. Although their eyes were a little reluctant, they did not do anything too greedy or crazy.
In the words of Old Bill, although this is an endless treasure, it is also a place of death. They can only stay on the edge of the mining belt and cannot go too deep. Otherwise, it is said that a large number of people will float in the depths of the mining belt. Objects have piled up on each other and condensed into floating islands like land, but there is nothing there, only floating objects several meters or even ten meters thick.
Once their ship got stuck in that kind of place, they would starve to death.
After all, although these "minerals" are of great value, they can only be used and cannot be eaten.
After watching the huge "mineral belt" drift away, Old Bill looked at the somewhat lost pirates, quickly cheered up, and shouted loudly:
"Don't be too greedy! We are already very lucky! There are more than one mineral belt in the sea, and we will definitely encounter new mineral belts in the future! The kind captain gave us his share of the offering, We must first fulfill the captain's order and head to the nearest An-13 floating island market immediately!"
Then he looked respectfully at Shen Feng, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked the captain to give him a lecture.
Shen Feng waved his hand and said calmly:
"lets go."
The sailors immediately adjusted the sails, then sat on the sides of the ship, picked up the long oars, and began rowing desperately toward the floating island market.
Although they didn't rest all night, seeing the huge "mineral mountains" dragged behind the pirate ship felt like a fire was ignited in their hearts, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
I posted it, I really posted it this time!
The floating mineral belt is an adventure that every sailor at sea dreams of in his life. It is much more exciting than robbing a ship, and you may not encounter it once in your life.
This time each of them can become a rich man.
Due to dragging more than a dozen small mountains of garbage, the speed of the pirate ship should have become very slow, but with the sailors paddling hard, it did not slow down much.
By this afternoon, they could already see a floating building on the sea in the distance, as well as some ships going in and out around the floating building.
Looking around, it is quite lively here, with thousands of people.
Shen Feng couldn't help but feel relieved a little.
If there is a slow process of sea level rise, then although human civilization has declined to the point of near extinction, there should not be too few survivors.
And even the new generation after the apocalypse has probably grown up long ago.
After all, as long as you can stay on the sea, there will be no shortage of food.
At this time, Old Bill had lowered the black pirate flag on the mast and replaced it with a red flag with a pair of clasped hands on it.
"Boss Captain, the red handshake flag means preparation for trade. As long as this flag is hung, according to the current trade laws, no one can attack the floating island market. Otherwise, it will be a bad rule. People will be attacked by everyone."
Old Bill was already used to being surprised by the captain's lack of common sense, so he respectfully explained to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng nodded slightly.
It would be normal to have a trade law, but it would be abnormal not to have one.
After all, as long as human civilization exists, if you want to continue to live, you must have a certain order.
The Floating Island Market is a place of order.
Seeing the Beast King pirate group's ship dragging more than a dozen huge mines outside the floating island market, people on several surrounding ships couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Soon their ship had arrived in front of the huge metal gate of the floating island market, and a pirate shouted loudly:
"Open the door! We are members of the Beast King Pirate Group, here to trade!"
At this time, Shen Feng had also discovered that this floating island market was entirely built on a huge drilling platform.
The drilling platform itself can float on the sea, which is a very good choice.
However, all the machinery on the platform has been removed, leaving only a floating platform.
At the same time, the people living here also carried out various expansions around the drilling platform, adding messy floating objects as the foundation. It seems that the area should be as big as a football field.
To be continued...
