Chapter 142 Sea Power Crisis

Chapter 142 Sea Power Crisis

"Ah...!" I was hesitating when the Zizhu Fairy in my arms suddenly let out a painful scream.

"Damn, that guy from Taishang Laojun is so unreliable! Didn't he say he would wake up in an hour? It's only been a few minutes?" I cursed Taishang Laojun while carrying Fairy Zizhu to Essin. In the Temple of Chaos and Order, he borrowed a guest room from Vina, and then put Fairy Zizhu on the bed.

Although she was no longer in a deep coma, Fairy Zizhu just kept humming, which sounded like she was having a nightmare, but she never woke up. However, although she did not recover immediately, Taishang Laojun's words were still inaccurate, because it was only more than half an hour after Zizhu Fairy was knocked unconscious, and she suddenly sat up from the bed, which was even worse than Taishang Laojun expected. The time was a full hour and a half early.

"No..." Fairy Zizhu probably just woke up from a nightmare and hasn't figured out the current situation yet. After jumping up from the bed with a scream, she was stunned by the surrounding environment. The Temple of Chaos and Order belongs to the European pantheon, so this room is also decorated in European style, which has nothing to do with the style of heaven. Fairy Zizhu was stunned when she saw the surrounding furnishings, and then she found me sitting outside.

I was sitting in the *** living room outside the bedroom at this time, but the sofa I was sitting on happened to be facing the bedroom. In addition, the double door of the bedroom was not closed, so I could directly see the bed. Case. The reason why I sit so far away is, firstly, to distance myself from the relationship, for fear of being tabooed by Fairy Zizhu; secondly, I am also worried about my own life, if Fairy Zizhu wakes up and directly attacks me, I will not be able to stop him.

"woke up?"

"Where is this place?" Fairy Zizhu glanced around as soon as she sat up, then jumped out of bed and walked out.

"This is Essinger's Temple of Chaos and Order. Don't worry, your identity as a god has not been erased, and I have not turned you into my demon pet. After all, our personal relationship was pretty good before. I am I won’t take advantage of others’ danger.”

"Thank you." Fairy Zizhu said and walked towards the door.

I sat on the sofa and poured myself a drink while minding my own business and said: "If you plan to go back to heaven, I won't stop you, but I hope you understand that there is no point in going back now. In the end, even if you are not sent back to me Even if you come here, you will still be sent to another place. In terms of divine power, I am indeed inferior to you, but when it comes to understanding of human nature, you and I are far behind!"

Fairy Zizhu was about to go out, but stopped when she put her hand on the doorknob. "Can you help me?"

"Do you know why Heaven always comes to me when there are things that cannot be solved?" I took a sip of my drink, then leaned on the sofa and continued: "Because I always have a solution." Seeing Fairy Zizhu about to speak, I suddenly He stretched out a hand to stop what she was about to say. "Don't worry yet. Although I can indeed handle most of the problems you can't, I am not a loving volunteer for a charity. Yes, I can indeed provide perfect services, but that is based on perfect compensation. Up."

"I……"

Fairy Zizhu only said one word before I interrupted her again. "No, no, no, you don't have to rush to promise me anything. All I want is your agreement to pay." I said, reaching out and gesturing to the surrounding environment. "Look, I'm not short of money or resources. I even have the God Clan's thugs. So I'm not in a hurry. Heaven is forcing you on me. They're not paying the bill at all. They're increasing their income. Debt, and this makes me very angry, so since you are willing to bear the reward for me to help you, then I will definitely help you. Well, I think we have reached an agreement now, right?"

Fairy Zizhu nodded. "I'll pay you, if you say so."

I nodded, then stretched out my hand, and a small white fur ball immediately jumped into Fairy Zizhu's arms. Fairy Zizhu instinctively reached out to catch it, and then looked at it with confusion. I don't know why I gave her such a cute little animal.

"It is one of my guild guardians. You can call it 'fur' ball. Now that we have reached an agreement, I hope you can cooperate with me to act out a scene first, so that I can help you find a solution."

"Okay. What do you want me to do?"

I stood up with a smile, then walked to a wall and stood there with my back against the wall. "Okay, use your ultimate move to knock me out together with the wall behind me. Then the little guy in your arms will take you to a place. You can adjust there first. After the things here are dealt with, I I will come to find you. Okay, come on. You don’t have to hold back, I’m not as fragile as you think, and you won’t be able to kill me with just one move. As for the damage to the house, I will reimburse the Heavenly Court for reimbursement.”

Although Fairy Zizhu didn't know what I was doing, she could only rely on me now, so in the end she took action according to my arrangement.

There was a sudden explosion on the top floor of Essinger Temple, and everyone around me saw me flying out of the wall along with a lot of rubble, and then a purple glow flew from the big hole. It shot out and disappeared into the sky instantly.

boom. The rubble on the ground was suddenly lifted up, and I crawled out of it in disgrace, still cursing: "Damn Fairy Zizhu, damn Heaven, do you really think of me as an idiot?" I cursed and turned to teleport. The ring disappeared instantly, and the next second I had walked out of the teleportation array outside Nantianmen.

At this time, the Nantian Gate has been closed again, but I didn't knock on the door at all. I directly used my ultimate move to blast the door three times. The people inside were startled and hurriedly opened the door. "Hey, isn't this President Ziri? Are you...?" I was still covered in gray and looked extremely embarrassed, so the general guarding the gate was also stunned for a moment.

I ignored him at all and rushed into the Lingxiao Palace angrily. However, there was no one here at this time, only a few god generals were guarding outside. Ignoring the dissuasion of the gods and generals, I continued to rush back, shouting all the way, and soon found a group of heavenly leaders in Taishang Laojun's Tusita Palace.

"Huh? Why are you back? What's going on with you?" Taishang Laojun also had a question mark on his forehead when he saw me suddenly appearing, and looking at my angry look, it was clear that I was here to quarrel.

"Hmph, I don't care what happened in your heaven. That's your internal problem. My reward must not be less." Seeing that the Jade Emperor was about to speak, I quickly shouted: "Also, don't mention that Zizhu Fairy to me. , she is not a reward, but a task. Look at me being beaten by her! My Essinger Temple was blasted with a big hole by her. You all have to compensate for this. And you." I pointed at Tai Shang Laojun said: "Didn't you say she couldn't wake up within an hour? Why did she wake up in just half an hour?"

"Ah? I don't know about this!" Taishang Laojun was also very depressed. Originally, according to his calculation, an hour was a conservative estimate, but who would have thought that he would wake up in half an hour. But now that I'm here, it means it's true. After all, it's only been forty minutes since he knocked out Fairy Zizhu, which is a bit too fast.

"You calm down first, we will give you the reward. Heaven will not default on the debt, but you have to give us some time! You have also seen that Heaven has not returned to normal yet, and it is really too busy for the time being. , please wait a few days, okay?"

"Okay, I will believe you again, but don't blame me if you shirk it again next time I come." I said and left the heaven angrily.

In fact, I didn't come here to ask for reward at all. I just informed Heavenly Court first to let them know that Fairy Zizhu is no longer with me, otherwise they would be in trouble if they really took Fairy Zizhu as reward. It has not been more than an hour now, so there is something wrong with Taishang Laojun's words. He cannot blatantly deny it, so he can only admit it. As long as they are willing to admit that they owe me, that is enough. After all, Heaven is Heaven, and if you are stingy, you will not deny the promised reward.

After returning to Essinger again, repairs had begun at the temple. I just took a brief look at the situation and was pulled away by Woma.

"Okay, okay, don't pull it, don't pull it." I asked while running after Woma: "What on earth did you come up with that you are so anxious to drag me to see?"

"It's not that I made something, but I discovered something."

"Discover? What did you discover?"

"I'll understand when I see you."

I was dragged by Woma to the monitoring center of the God of War. At this time, most of the leaders in the guild had already arrived.

"What exactly did you find?"

"See for yourself." Eagle pointed forward, and I looked along his finger. In front is a large crystal imager, which is currently displaying a three-dimensional scene. Eagle explained from the side: "This is the real-time signal sent back by the Giant Mosquito Outpost."

After hearing Ying's words, I immediately focused my eyes on the picture in surprise. At this time, what was displayed on the imager was a vast sea surface, and in the center of the sea surface was a huge sea ship that was sailing slowly. This ship is huge. Except for the Invader Sea Fortress and the Great White Shark Submersible Carrier, no mobile ship in our industry can keep up with the size of this big guy. Even the current super battleship of our guild is only half the size of this thing. However, it is different from ordinary large battleships. There were no turrets on the ship, and there wasn't even a single piece of external equipment that looked like a cannon. In addition, it has a very important feature, that is - its entire upper deck is flat.

"aircraft carrier?"

"That's right." The God of War calmly answered my question and played another scene. "This is a scene recorded before you arrived here." In the scene, a huge bipedal flying dragon was seen running on the deck, then quickly flew up and finally disappeared into the sky. "See?"

I nodded. "But...oh, crap, I get it!"

Combat ships such as aircraft carriers have been proven to be the strongest maritime military force in modern battlefields. Its emergence has directly led to the withdrawal of battleships as representatives of the cannon giant ship theory from the stage of history. However, while this theory has been confirmed in reality, this is not the case in the game. Super battleships like the Eternal and the Biling are still the overlords of the sea. Those giant battleships like floating islands are being produced and used by various guilds, including ours, and our battleships are still made more and more. The larger it is, the larger the caliber of the main gun is. The reason why this phenomenon occurs is not because the players in the game do not understand military knowledge, nor is it because we worship cannons and giant ships, but because of an objective factor - gunpowder.

Aircraft carriers dominate the oceans because they can attack others beyond the reach of enemy artillery. To do this, they must have aircraft with sufficient range, and these aircraft must also be able to carry enough powerful weapons. , at least to ensure that they can sink enemy warships. Only when the above conditions are met can an aircraft carrier become the dominant force on the sea. The reason why there is no aircraft carrier in "Zero" is because the above conditions cannot be achieved.

"Zero" is a fantasy game, so there are a lot of flying monsters in it. Although these guys may not be comparable to modern jet fighters in terms of speed, they have the same range and load capacity as fighter jets. In other words, in addition to speed, In addition to being relatively slow, flying monsters can completely replace airplanes. But the problem isn't the flying monsters, it's the bombs. No matter how strong the flying monster is, it is still a bit fanciful to sink a battleship. Except for top creatures such as dragons and phoenixes, most flying monsters cannot threaten the safety of even small ships such as light destroyers, so monsters alone cannot sink battleships. As for top creatures like dragons and phoenixes, they can cross the Pacific on their own, so why do they need aircraft carriers? Besides, even if there are such things, there are definitely not many of them. Almost no guild has the luxury of using a dragon as a carrier aircraft.

In modern warfare, aircraft mainly use three weapons to deal with warships: anti-ship missiles, aerial bombs, and airborne torpedoes. But the problem is that the special alloys and some magic materials in Zero make the armor of the battleship much stronger than that of the real battleship. On the contrary, the power of gunpowder in the game has dropped a lot. The direct result of this is that no matter what kind of weapon it is, it must be large enough to produce appropriate power to sink the battleship. But the problem is that once the size of the weapon increases, it will inevitably lead to an increase in size and weight, and what flying units fear most is large and heavy weapons. A torpedo as big as a small boat is not a problem for a battleship, but it is definitely a big problem for a flying monster to take off with a torpedo larger than two air-conditioned buses put together. As for aerial bombs, although they are slightly smaller than torpedoes, even a large flying monster can only carry one, and the flight distance and speed will be seriously reduced. Basically, flying monsters that take off with bombs are useless. Their maneuverability is impressive, but they will be shot down before they can reach the enemy warships. As for reducing the size of the bomb, it will directly lead to a decrease in power. If it cannot penetrate the armor of the battleship, then why do we need a bomb? Therefore, the problem faced by Flying Warcraft is that torpedoes and large bombs are too heavy to fly. Small bombs can move but have basically no lethality. Let alone missiles. There is no production technology in the game.

It is because of the above reasons that aircraft carriers, which have been proven to be absolutely powerful sea kings in reality, have become auxiliary battleships in the game. In addition to using the flying monsters they carry for reconnaissance and battlefield rescue, they basically do nothing. It worked directly. Who else would want a junk battleship like this?

However, now the problem is solved. The problem with the aircraft carrier is that the flying monsters do not have suitable strike weapons, but the Japanese now have magic crystal steam technology. With the power of the magic crystal steam bomb, as long as the bomb is as big as a watermelon, it is enough to threaten the safety of any ship below the cruiser. To sink cruisers and battleships, all it takes is two watermelon-sized bombs to hit a dozen bombs in a row. Nowadays, the mainstream flying monsters that various guilds can obtain in large quantities are griffins, wyverns, pegasus and thunder eagles. Among these four creatures, the smallest weight-bearing creature is the pegasus, but if it is a bomb as big as two watermelons, even Pegasus can guarantee that it can carry six to eight bombs while still having basic air dodge capabilities. As for big guys like flying dragons, even if you make the bombs as big as winter melons, they can still carry dozens of them. Flying is easy.

"Does that mean the Japanese have air strike capabilities?" I asked, looking at the picture on the imager.

"Yes. And it is a very powerful air strike capability."

"Are there any coping strategies?" I continued.

"At present, our guild's arrival is not a big problem." Military God said: "Our guild's guardian spear has absolute air supremacy. As long as we can detect it in advance, we can guarantee to shoot down all the opponents before they reach the sky. But The key problem lies in our alliance guild. They do not have the air power like ours, and some of the warships in our guild also use high-definition weapons without guardian beasts."

"That means our warships' air defense capabilities are weak, right?"

"I'm afraid so."

King Chuang looked at me and said: "President, if we don't find a way to solve this problem, our guild's warships will not be able to go to sea! Without air superiority, warships can't defeat aircraft carriers. No matter how strong our warships are, they can't fly. !”

I listened to King Chuang complaining, but my mind was rapidly calculating how to deal with the little ***'s aircraft carrier. In the battle between our guild and the *** players commanded by Matsumoto Masaga, the reason why we were able to suppress the *** players was because we had sea control, so we could intercept the *** players' battleships and find them at will. The place is in ***, but the *** people cannot log in on a large scale to harass us. But once the Japanese aircraft carrier gains control of the sea, our advantage will be completely reversed. That is something we absolutely cannot accept. We must find a way to abolish the little ***'s aircraft carrier.
