Chapter 456 [Kirov]
This huge, heavy, and slow airship is called [Kirov]. Its prototype is a ship that crashed in Pan just two hours after leaving the airship tower. The Explosive Aeronautical Goblin airship in the southeast of Tree City, although its captain Ford Explosive Drill and the crew were very skillful. He survived and returned to Panshu City as soon as possible, but due to the plague that broke out a few days later, the wreckage of the [Lucky] was not recovered immediately until Mo Tan specially sent people to fight all the way to the crash. On the ground, a temporary transportation channel was established to transport back all the wreckage that could be found.
Of course, Mo Tan, who spent a lot of manpower and material resources on this, did not simply want to contribute to garbage classification. In fact, he immediately summoned Panshu City after collecting all the wreckage of the spacecraft. All the staff of the airship tower, no matter whether they were employees of Explosive Aviation or Pan-Gnome Business Circle, were left behind, and then they held a short meeting with righteous words and passionate words.
Then there was another long meeting that was both rational and emotional.
It has to be said that trying to get two groups of people with completely opposite ideas to cooperate sincerely is simply more tiring than fighting a small-scale battle. Although those guys give him a lot of face as a commander, they' What may have been a friendly discussion with restraint eventually turned into a group fight that lasted for thirteen and a half seconds, and the core reason turned out to be Te Meow's placement of a rivet
All in all, after several guards finally suppressed these hot-blooded guys, Mo Tan tried hard to persuade him for three hours. In the process, he was accidentally injured by small-scale explosives thrown by both sides. Eleven times, he was fed three pots of hot tea by Yuchen who was worried that he was dehydrated. He was hit several times by wrenches that frequently flew in the air. When he finally staggered out, his health dropped by 32%. .
But he still succeeded in implementing his idea, and the two groups of designers headed by goblins and dwarfs reluctantly reached a cooperation, promising to build a new ship based on the pile of wreckage as quickly as possible. The ship.
It is this deformed airship named [Kirov].
The prototype is a standard airship from Explosion Aviation. Although it has crashed eight times, it is still 90% new. With the help of a large number of private engineers, the two groups only spent It took less than two days to completely repair its basic structure, and then began to carry out frantic large-scale modifications at Mo Tan's request.
In order to minimize the possibility of an air crash, the staff of Bangtan Airways tearfully dismantled everything on the airship that had a risk of explosion. In short, they turned it into a ship embryo again, and then On this basis, together with the staff of the pan-dwarf business circle, the airship structure was expanded three times, changing it from a weird shuttle shape to a curious oval shape, and then made it The effective usable area of the airship became extremely exaggerated. Then, they vacated all the spare engines in the warehouse. The engineers of Explosion Aviation gave it the explosive overload function to compress the service life. The engineers in the business circle focused on safety. The device was modified, at least three insurance measures were added, and then all these temporary engines with an average service life of no more than one month were installed on the ship.
Increase the size of the hull as much as possible, and then repair or build additional engines to hang on it. After about three or four rounds of repeated cycles, this beautiful ship that looks deformed no matter how it looks is born.
For an airship, it has an incredibly large area, an incredibly large output, an incredibly large load capacity, and an incredibly slow moving speed, as Captain Ford said before. , this thing can't even outrun a horse at full speed, and all its huge power is used to keep itself from falling.
Because this thing is too heavy.
On the premise of leaving only the minimum operator, Mo Tan frantically converted all the empty areas of the ship into warehouses. Then it was filled with all the explosives he could collect from the entire Misha County, ranging from [Hasbro] toothbrushes produced by Goblin and [Cute Flying Monkey] mechanical pets produced by Gnomes, to various detonators and explosives. , all the explosives that could not be used in the mines on the Hodir Mountain Road were all stuffed in by Mo Tan.
In the end, the empty airship was completely filled up.
Of course, despite storing explosives in more than a dozen warehouses, the theoretical and practical value of this [Kirov] airship is still zero, undoubtedly zero.
In any conventional war or even battle, this kind of thing that moves at an appallingly slow speed and has almost zero mobility has no value, not to mention that it doesn’t even have the most basic armor. It only takes a pyrotechnic that even a junior mage can suppress to knock out the exposed engine of this thing, causing this slow and undefended airship to crash directly.
Of course, because it is full of explosives, this [Kirov] may not even have a chance of crashing. The greater possibility is that it will directly explode into a ball of fireworks in the air. .
An airship that can be shot down by any archer or magician like a bird, its value in war is basically equivalent to a joke.
But
If the enemy is a mutant with no anti-air capabilities, this thing is not necessarily a joke.
“Wait a minute, it seems we can really throw a few hundred kilograms of explosives first!”
Ford Explosive Diamond suddenly clapped his palms and said suddenly to the riveting wheel in front of him: “You That’s right!”
"Fart! What the hell did I say right?!"
Riveting Wheel subconsciously retorted first, and then suddenly froze: "Wait a minute? You said I was right? ?”
Ford laughed and nodded: "Yes, you are absolutely right. Then whoever, immediately turn to the five o'clock position and move at full speed!"
He shouted loudly to the helmsman in the distance. , the whole person was trembling with excitement.
Rivet Wheel's eyes widened and he waved his hand: "Wait a moment, Pastor Hei Fan's order to us is not to wait until Her Majesty the Holy Lady and others come over, and then..."
"Waste is shameful. Yeah, you idiot."
Ford shook his big ears excitedly and let out a harsh laugh: "Haha, since the load is not enough, we can let Her Majesty and the others wait a little longer. For a while, let’s give those monsters a little surprise, and then come back to pick them up.”
Rivet Wheel thought for a moment and then laughed: "This is a good idea. I think Her Royal Highness the Saint will not care about the slight delay in the flight."
In this way, the two of them reached a very rare agreement. consensus.
Ten seconds later, the Kirov, which was hovering in mid-air, turned on the spot and flew slowly towards its five o'clock direction, that is, the two long bridges in the Twin Cities.
Then it was a long five minutes
For the [Kirov], the process of flying or floating from the previous position to the destination is indeed very long.
For Paula Olson, who replaced Xia Lian and was stationed at the long bridge in Abby City, and the soldiers under her command, the process of fighting countless monsters was also extremely long, especially because of the warships on the river. After emptying the ammunition and being unable to provide fire support.
Unlike the [Kirov], both Paula's ship [Shock] and the other three [Water Beast] class warships are serious ships, and the ammunition for the engineering artillery on them is The reserves and magic cannon's magic reserves will not be too large, at least not so much as to affect normal navigation and mission execution. speed, and for a serious warship, the possibility of continuous bombardment for more than ten minutes without killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy is almost non-existent, so after plowing for twenty minutes it felt like the mutants could not be killed no matter how hard they were plowed. Finally, although they did not suffer any damage, the gunners really had no ammunition and continued to fire. Therefore, the pressure on those who engage in hand-to-hand combat with the mutants on the long bridge will naturally increase.
[Her Highness Xia Lian actually persisted here for more than ten hours]
Paula pressed the musket in her hand against the face of a mutant and pulled the trigger The trigger directly blasted the latter's head into more than 30 pieces. In the other hand, the Sapphire's gorgeous scimitar cut through the air, bursting out a trace of light that was as solid as water, cutting off several mutants in front of his second officer, and murmured in a low voice: "And he is still in poor physical condition. The situation, oh my God, it’s unimaginable.”
"Captain! We have begun to receive wounded people one after another!"
The burly orc first mate waved the anchor and knocked a small group of mutants to the ground like cutting wheat, then returned to Paula panting. Said: "We can hold on for at most twenty more Minutes, the fighting style of these monsters is too cruel. If the battle continues, the warriors will probably collapse even if they still have physical strength!"
Paula glared at him and said angrily: "It's a shame! There are only more than 2,000 combined troops in total, and most of them They are all low-level professionals, and there are hundreds of ordinary people in the militia. They can last for two months and take down the north and the center step by step. We regular troops can't hold on after fighting for less than an hour. ? The grand duke spends money to support us to embarrass the principality. !”
“No, Captain!”
“Tell everyone, if you dare to fight, you will be scared by these monsters before you die. Shoot out of the barrel! Do you hear it?”
"Yes, Captain!"
"Move the seriously injured to a place with less pressure in the back to rest. No one at the front is allowed to retreat! This is a military order!"
"Yes, Captain! ”
The first mate nodded vigorously and carried his huge iron anchor. He rushed back and kept yelling: "Everyone, listen to me, the captain said, if anyone dares to coerce, he will put a cannon into his asshole! Do you all understand?"
His answer was frightened: "I understand!"
Two veins popped out from Paula's forehead, and she secretly determined to go back and stuff the first mate, who always processed his command art into all kinds of vulgar words, into the muzzle of the cannon.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a black shadow in the gloomy night sky, a huge black shadow with a very strange shape that was slowly floating towards her!
“What the hell is this?!”
Paula was shocked at the time. She took out a monocular telescope with the eagle eye function and stared at the black man blankly. The shadow hovered leisurely not far away where the mutants were the densest. A certain part of the chassis suddenly turned into a trap door. It clicked open, and then...
A row of cartoons were drawn on it. The skull's wooden box was smashed down like dumplings.
Half a second later, Paula first covered her eyes and squatted on the ground, and then was shaken by a series of explosions.
It was a series of explosions that were completely different from engineering artillery and magic cannons. Those terrible containers detonated the moment they landed. First, their shells exploded, and then they turned into a bright fireball, and the next A large number of random and unknown things will explode in seconds, and the latter will fly in mid-air. Go up a short distance or explode on the spot, turning into more large or small fires, accompanied by more muffled or loud explosions, blowing up the surrounding monsters ranging from one centimeter to ten meters. At the same time, It will sputter out a large number of things such as screws and gears, causing triple damage. The more unique screws will even explode!
Paula, who has been dealing with cannons all year round, swears that she has never seen such a weird bombing in her life. Its instantaneous lethality may not be too strong, but it has terrifying sustainability. , those who survived the first roar even The most unscathed mutants were either surrounded by a large amount of fire in the next second, or were brutally dismembered by various fragments that spread out. Those who were lucky enough not to be dismembered would be scattered on the ground or simply embedded in them. Give the little thing on your body a third blow.
The most curious thing is a mutant who luckily survived three kills. The explosion power of the wooden box in front of him was extremely low, and it only staggered. None of the subsequent fragments were splashed. However, when it took another step driven by instinct and prepared to charge towards Paula and others, it accidentally stepped on a little rooster.
That's right, a cute little metal rooster, because half of its claws are missing, can only kick its legs on the ground and keep making "coo-coo-coo" sounds. It looks very special. interesting.
However, just such a thing turned into a fireball with a diameter of more than three meters after the mutant stepped on it. It flew away more than ten meters and turned into a mosaic and fell to the ground in three batches. .
A dozen huge wooden boxes were smashed down at the same time, the whole process took less than five seconds, and the continuous explosion sound lasted for at least nearly a minute and has not completely subsided.
Just by jumping up and taking a quick look, Paula could conclude that a conservative estimate of three hundred mutants would have died.
This result shocked her and her friends at the time.
Then a sharp sound of 'We'll come back later' was heard in mid-air, and the strange-looking airship turned around with difficulty and slowly floated back in the direction it came from.
Not a single cloud was taken away.
