Chapter 77 Essinger Is Not Pearl Harbor
After standing still for more than ten minutes, he finally shook his head. "I give up."
When I finished speaking, a relieved smile appeared on my father's face. "You have grown up and become a real man." Dad put his arm around my neck and patted my shoulder.
"Growing up is for sure." I stretched out a hand in front of me: "But this body... I have begun to be confused."
"What is Long Yuan's goal?" Dad suddenly asked me.
I looked at my dad in surprise, but still replied: "Unlock the final equation of life."
"Do you still remember the slogan at the entrance of Longyuan Headquarters?"
I nodded. "The divine power is in my hands."
Dad also nodded: "Just remember. Long Yuan doesn't believe in God. All living things have basic principles, and we just want to uncover the secrets of life. When the final equation is solved, the power of God will Under our control. We are all natural creations, whether insects or birds, we are all the same. Human beings are not nobler than anything. The only difference is that we are the smartest, and it is enough to know this. So you don’t need to Consider what you are. As long as you know that you are you, you are my son. That is enough. As long as you evolve to be stronger and smarter, what difference does it matter what race you are? Don't think about what you have and what you don't have. It’s just an annoyance. You’re not given such a developed brain to think about this ethical issue.”
"I think I understand what you mean. Okay, I'm fine." He turned around and looked at the creatures floating in the bottles. "Have they not been in contact with the consciousness in the game?"
"Most of them don't, except for the two of them."
"Weina and Ling? Have they already entered this real body?"
Dad nodded and said: "Weina's consciousness was a consciousness contact experiment conducted last week. It was only input for 30 seconds. Because the consciousness's resistance spirit is very strong, we extracted her quickly. I hope you can get in touch with this more. Consciousness, her thinking seems to be quite special. We found a rather peculiar radio wave in her consciousness. When she merged with the body, this radio wave instantly strengthened to an unimaginable level. We want to know what kind of power this is. Originally There is no such design in the experiment, we estimate that it is the result of self-evolution. You also know that the super law system of "Zero" includes the ability of self-evolution, and Vina has obviously evolved."
"I understand. I will look for her specifically for research in the future. What about Ling?"
"In fact, Ling's consciousness is quite special. Every individual here has been completed in the past two or three years, but she is different. She is older than you." Long Yuan's first fully synthetic DNA biological code mother body years ago , which is the Ling you see now. She was completed 'years ago, when she was just a cell, and then slowly developed into a baby after 3 years. She grew to what she is now and stopped 5 years ago. She has grown. It can be said that she is a miracle that should not have happened. Maybe she is the future of mankind."
"Why?"
"Because her DNA tail chain has never worn out in the years. People's DNA tail chain will gradually lose and shorten as people age. We call this process wear and tear. In fact, this is also the aging of people. process, when this thing wears out more than 60%, the human body will rapidly fail, which is the so-called end of life. However, most people will start to show serious signs of aging when this thing wears out 45%, and some diseases will end their lives prematurely. But she The wear and tear is always zero, which means that she has never aged and time has no effect on her. We can't be sure whether this is caused by being in the petri dish for a long time or something else, so we plan to wake her up as soon as possible. If we leave the culture If she can still maintain this record, it will be a big change."
"You mean she has an immortal body?"
"If she still doesn't age like she does now after leaving the petri dish, she will really be immortal!"
I walked over to Ling's jar and stroked the jar. "Although I'm not religious, our technology is really starting to scare me. Who can tell me whether we are on the right path? Immortality! That's a plague!"
"As long as you understand this level. Even if the research results come out, we will not let it spread. After all, with the current level of science and technology, immortality is more dangerous than the Ebola virus."
Most people may think that immortality is a good thing, but in fact it is very dangerous. If the world was just birth without death, it would soon be doomed by overpopulation. At present, most of the world's population still dies from aging. Once everyone stops aging, it will really be the end of the world.
"Why isn't Ling being raised separately if he is so important?"
"That was her own request. Ling was already conscious before this game was launched. In fact, it was a complete accident that you came into contact with her in the game."
"But she already knew about her situation but didn't tell me?"
"This is our requirement. She must speak like an NPC in the game."
"Then she voluntarily entangled me...?"
"It's completely autonomous. This is also part of the experiment. We can't interfere." Dad smiled and patted me: "Are you really popular with girls? Ling actually asked to be a magic pet to follow you."
"Really? In my impression, women are more difficult to understand than the theory of relativity."
"Then you have to ask yourself. But now, let's get out of here, okay? It's only 10 degrees in this room. It's nothing for you. I, an old man, can't stand it anymore!"
"All right."
After leaving the training library with my father, I still did not enter the final room. I guessed countless times what would be inside, but I didn’t regret giving up the opportunity to enter. Learning to give up does not mean weakness. Although arrogance and courage are often praised, that out-and-out heroism is not what I should learn. My identity does not allow me to become a hero.
Rose was not online when I returned to the room, she had been waiting for me. I don’t know why I suddenly wanted to cry after seeing her.
Rose was stunned for a moment when she saw me, then quickly stood up and walked over. She just looked at me without saying anything. After a long time, she slowly raised her hands and stroked them along my eyebrows. Her soft little hands slowly slid across my cheeks and then reached my neck and slowly It went around my earlobe and merged at the back of my head. Then she pulled my head into her arms and held me there quietly without moving.
I also wrapped my arms around her waist. "Why not online?"
"Wait for you."
"You know I'm unhappy?"
"kindness."
"Why?"
"have no idea."
"kindness?"
"intuition."
"If one day the world denies my existence..."
"I will deny the world with you."
I tightened my arms tightly and pushed Rose away a distance and put my hands on her shoulders. "I just saw some sensitive things, and I felt a little depressed. I feel better now. Although I don't believe in God, I thank God for letting you be by my side."
Rose's eyes flashed with tears and she said: "Although what you say is very disgusting, I believe you. Let's go online now, shall we?"
I nodded: "Okay."
When we came online the two men looked at each other. I was about to speak when I suddenly heard a dull but not too loud explosion. Judging from the sound, the explosion was very powerful, but the distance was very far, so it was probably confirmed that it came from the port. I pulled the rose and turned the teleportation ring, and the next second we appeared in the teleportation array at the port.
"What's going on?" I grabbed a soldier who was running by. The port is now in chaos, and smoke is still rising in several places.
The soldier shook his head and said, "I just heard an explosion, and I don't know what happened."
It seems that what just happened was so sudden that no one could react. I looked into the port and saw a battleship smoking. It was obviously under attack. Suddenly I found several white tracks in the water.
"Torpedo!" Rose also discovered the thing.
"You go and hatch the dragon eggs." I said to Rose.
Rose turned around and ran towards Hongyan without saying anything. Almost a few seconds after she left, several consecutive explosions caused a large battleship to begin to tilt. The huge splash showed how exaggerated the torpedo's charge was.
I took out the leaves of the city tree and gave him an order: "Raise the port gate and seal the port. Essinger enters a state of war and activates all defense facilities urgently."
"Execute immediately."
I spent so much money building Essinger, and now I can finally see the results. The advantage of high automation is rapid response. Bubbles quickly formed in the traffic channel outside Essinger Harbor, and the two blocking gates began to rise slowly. Just when the gate was close to the water level, several white tracks quickly rushed towards the channel.
The spray of water clearly showed the location of the torpedoes. I roughly counted them, and there were more than 40 of them. Just as these torpedoes passed above the gate, the gate rose out of the water. The first dozen torpedoes passed through the gate and entered the inner harbor, while the rest all hit the gate and exploded. The dripping gate was completely closed with a bang, and the third wave of torpedoes from behind hit the gate one after another and left large craters on it. The dozens of torpedoes that rushed in hit their targets one after another. There was no one on our warship, and there was no way to dodge in the inner harbor! Seeing a large number of warships being hit and on fire, the sailors began to put out the fires in an orderly manner. The severely injured warship was towed into the dock for emergency repairs. Judging from this performance, the damage will not be too serious.
There were constant explosions outside, and it seemed that the enemy wanted to use torpedoes to blow open our gate. Although Essinger's sluice is definitely thick enough, it will always wear out if it is blown up like this. Quickly order City Tree again. "Start the anti-gravity device and raise Essinger."
"Understood. The anti-gravity device is activated."
The whole Essinger shook, and then it was obvious that Essinger began to rise. Several torpedoes trailing white tracks arrived near Essinger. Only the first few hit the outer wall of the central area, and the rest all passed under the city.
I teleported directly to the city wall and looked out. A huge fleet was approaching. With the help of Star Pupil, I could see the shapes and flags of those battleships, but what surprised me was that these battleships actually hung Chinese flags, and their appearance looked very much like Chinese-style battleships. But I soon realized that these were not Chinese ships, they were Japanese camouflage ships. This is why they can approach Isengard silently.
"Weapons, where are the weapons?" I picked up the leaves of the city tree. "Raise the weapon quickly."
"We have just been gathering energy to activate the anti-gravity device, and now we are activating the protective shield. The weapons will have to wait for another 15 seconds. The power center cannot activate so many things at the same time."
"faster."
"I try my best."
Four tall towers with crystal rings on the outside slowly rose on the four large platforms at the four corners of Essinger. After the four towers rose, they began to light up with pale yellow light and make a buzzing sound. Soon the four towers shone at the same time, and a light yellow light curtain appeared in front of Essinger. This is our magic shield. Although it is priceless, its defensive effect is very good. You get what you pay for!
After the protective shield was activated, there was a vibration under my feet. A crack appeared on the city wall behind me, and then the stone slabs on the ground began to sink downwards. The sunken part is exactly a square and becomes about 10 meters. After the square stone slab sank more than a foot, it began to move to both sides, and a dark hole appeared there. Then I heard the sound of gears turning from below, and something rose up from below. This is a large fort, shaped like the main battery turret on a battleship. When it is fully raised, the base of the turret just closes the hole. The bare panel in front of the fort suddenly opened two long holes, and two giant gun barrels like logs in the virgin forest slowly stretched out. After the barrel is in place, the two mechanical clips lock the barrel with a click to fix its position. The turrets on the nearby city wall were raised one by one in sequence. At a glance, I could only see the cannons stretched out in sequence.
In addition to these artillery pieces, other things also rose in some places, such as magic crystal cannons. This thing is our Essinger's special weapon. It's just for this time that we spend so much money. Next to the magic crystal cannon, there are some small and medium-sized magic light cannons. These are small magic light cannons made from clear crystal fragments. They are much less powerful, but they can still sink battleships if hit too much. They can also be used to deal with enemy personnel. And the turret is very useful.
The infantry platform behind the city wall finally rose, and groups of soldiers pushed down the ballistas and ran down from it. They quickly set up the ballistas and started loading ammunition. In less than 10 minutes, Essinger had completely entered a state of war.
Vader ran out from the teleportation array next to him. When he saw that I was here, he ran over immediately. "City Lord."
"Yeah. Are you very fast?"
"Today is already slow. Just now, I was directing the erection of training equipment outside the city. The alarm suddenly sounded, and I rushed over immediately. Are those enemies?"
"There are still things under the water. We were attacked by torpedoes just now. The smoke in the port was caused by them. It is estimated that a submarine used torpedo attacks. There may have been enemy submarines in the port. Find some people to go into the water and take a look. "
"yes."
The Japanese submarines are so arrogant that they all got into our port. They definitely don't know that we have a gate. It's a good thing, they are locked in the port. Vida was more ruthless than me. When he arrived at the port, he immediately ordered the water in the port to be drained. The water surface continued to drop, and soon there was only about twenty meters left, just enough to ensure that the bottom of the warship with the largest draft would touch the rock layer under the port. At this depth, the submarine cannot hide and becomes a living target.
A large group of soldiers jumped onto the submarine and violently opened the hatch of the submarine. After all, the high-level NPCs were more powerful. The Japanese inside kept cursing in Japanese and resisted desperately, but the NPCs ignored them and dragged them out one by one by their collars like dragging dogs to death. A total of four submarines trapped in the port received the same treatment, and three more submarines in the canal were also forcibly suppressed.
The Japanese outside were even more arrogant, and a large group of flying dragons suddenly emerged from the clouds. There used to be so many flying dragons in Japan, which I thought was strange at the time, but now I think they were probably guild guardian beasts, otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them. But the large number is in vain. To actually compare with our air force, I simply don’t want to live anymore.
I opened the guild channel: "Order all Frost Rose Alliance players to return to Essinger to assist in the battle, release their spears and prepare to fight. If you are not in the communication area, please tell each other."
In fact, there is no big problem if the players are not called back. In addition to the ones brought by the players, there will also be 1,000 guild guardian beasts for defense in the city. These guardian beasts are specially used to protect the city. When the flying dragons rushed down, a field of spears immediately flew up from the center of Essinger. These small jets circled the Juling Tower in a neat formation and then began to rush towards the flying dragons.
The spearmen dispersed to look for targets. A flying dragon that had just rushed out of the clouds had not had time to adapt to the environment. It felt a gust of wind blowing from the side, and then its neck separated from its body. The knight on the back of the flying dragon was also dumbfounded. He thought that the flying dragon was a very powerful air force, but he didn't expect that it was not at the same level as the spear.
Groups of spears circled and attacked the flying dragons, and the flying dragons were powerless against these creatures that were much faster than themselves. How could they attack if they couldn't catch up? The flying dragons struggled to bite the spears that flew past them, but their hit rate was too low. However, the Japanese seemed to have spent a lot of money this time. There were not only 10,000 but also 8,000 flying dragons. They don't have Fenglong, and Feilong can't fly over from Japan on its own. There must be an aircraft carrier nearby responsible for transportation. It seems that more than one guild is here, and all the powerful Japanese guilds are out in force.
The magic crystal used by the Black Dragon Society in its last transaction with the White Shark Tribe did not belong to their family. It was accumulated by major guilds in Japan. As a result, I hijacked all those things. The Japanese must have come to take revenge this time. Maybe they even plan to take the magic crystal back! It's a pity that they are destined to fail this time. Let alone Isinger's defense, they can't rush in. Even if they come in, it will be useless. Those magic crystals have been taken away by the White Sharks, and the rest are in my space gate. Even if they kill me, they won't be able to get a single fragment. But the Japanese didn't know this, and they were still attacking frantically in an attempt to get their magic crystal back.
After the spearmen killed hundreds of flying dragons, I noticed that the Japanese had far more than 10,000 flying dragons. If a certain guild has guardian beasts like flying dragons, then the Japanese can get a large number of guardians just by adding people to this guild. beast. It is still unclear how many flying dragons there are. New flying dragons are constantly joining the battle in the clouds. So far, more than 20,000 flying dragons have been seen. The sky above Essinger is now filled with overwhelming flying dragons, a large area of darkness. Although the spears were fierce, there were not enough of them, and it was quite hard to fly between these flying dragons. I also sent my magic pets and guardian beasts out to assist in the battle, but the effect was minimal.
Suddenly, a loud dragon's roar came from the center of Essinger, and all the flying dragons in the sky were calmed down. Then a huge red figure suddenly rose into the sky, followed by a large group of smaller figures flying up following the red shadow.
The red figure must be Hong Yan. Apart from him, there is no other creature that big like Essinger. Those behind him can only be our totem beasts, those newly hatched dragons. Totem beasts are owned by the guild, and they are at full level as soon as they appear. The addition of these dragons, especially Hongyan, immediately turned the tide of the battle. Hong Yan's fight against the flying dragon was like swatting flies. The flying dragons in the sky did not dare to fight Hong Yan. When they saw him coming, they turned around and ran away, no matter how hard the knights on their backs pulled them.
The performance of those totem beasts was also unusually good. The dragons with physical attacks were almost sweeping the flying dragons, and anyone who got close would be killed immediately. The magic dragon is even more terrifying. It can kill a large number of people at once and explode into a large area. The power of the magic crystal cannon is no more than this. The only regret was that the Crystal Dragon was a physical attack and couldn't fly, so they could only stare at it on the ground, but they quickly found their target. I saw 36 crystal dragons that evolved into black crystal dragons climbed up the city wall and jumped into the sea. They knew with their toes that their target was the fleet outside. I wonder how the Japanese will react when they see so many crystal dragons.
Rose ran out of the teleportation array. "See?"
I nodded, "Yeah. Good job. But why didn't I hear the system prompt?"
"I heard it." Rose said: "The guild channel is so noisy, how could you possibly hear it if you don't turn it off?"
"Did you hear about the rewards? We should be rewarded for being the first to get the Totem Beast."
"There are rewards."
"What's the reward?"
