Chapter 817 The Approaching War

Sword of Glory Class Strategic Cruiser·Bridge.

The air inside the bridge was silent and solemn, with only the continuous jumping data flow on the tactical holographic map and the faint electronic pulse sounds emitted by the console.

This is the nerve center of the warship, the core area for commanding a deep war, and the authority of the Future Garden Fleet Command.

The structure of the bridge presents a typical aesthetic style of the Kingdom of Heaven. The tall dome is supported by a dark gold metal frame, and the walls are engraved with complex inscriptions. They are runes woven from information flow to ensure that the computing system of the bridge is not Will be disturbed during the transition process.

The tactical projection in the center is like a glorious sky floating in the air, reflecting the real-time situation of the external battlefield. The blue astrological data outlines the array of fleets, and the red light spots are potential threat signals.

The console surrounds the core command position of the bridge in a circular shape, with multiple holographic interfaces floating in the air, waiting for the input of tactical commands at any time.

Silas stood in front of the control console, stretched out his right hand, and gently touched the core control node of the battleship. A soft wave of psionic energy spread along the metal surface, triggering the response of the machine soul.

In his consciousness, a low and deep echo gradually took shape, which was a primitive consciousness that could not be described in words, roaring like a wild beast, but exuding a hint of sacred majesty.

Silas could feel that the "mechanical soul" of this heavy cruiser of Glory Sword Class is gradually awakening, and its will is like a bound giant beast, trying to identify the commander in front of him.

“…your number?”

Silas asked in a low voice in his consciousness, his third eye slowly opened at this moment, and the fluctuations of the ether established a secret connection between his palm and the soul.

【Certification passed--】

The low voice echoed in his consciousness, with an indescribable sense of oppression. This is not a mimicry intelligent humanoid soul, nor does it have anthropomorphic emotional color. Its existence is more like the manifestation of a fighting will, rational and indifferent, loyal but biological fanatic.

——This is exactly what the Kingdom of Heaven understands the soul of ships.

The supervisory angel at the outpost of the moon base who participated in the [King of Volcano] sniper battle with Ouvar and Xia Xiu. Nemo Yegor, one of the six presiding judges, once commented on the soul of the heavens in this way. :

"The mimic intelligence of the mechanic soul is very dangerous because it is not trapped by the entire human being in the genealogy like a spherical think tank. The mimic intelligence of the human-type mechanic soul has the ability to upgrade itself, but the kingdom of heaven does not need this kind of extreme loss of control, and it may even be Betrayal of the Captain's existence.

The soul of the game will be corrupted by chaos and transform its own technology into unclean and heresy things for the kingdom of heaven.

The Kingdom of Heaven does not need that kind of mechanical soul, we only need the mechanical soul that is essentially an automated system. ”

The soul of the kingdom of heaven is not the "ship girl" model of Edishi's federal style, nor will it give the captain any anthropomorphic "care" or "consideration". Its existence is closer to a rebellious war beast- Loyal but cold, fierce but controllable.

——It will not fall in love with any captain, nor will it produce the so-called "personalized thinking".

It will only identify the only master and tear all enemies apart under the command of the master.

【No.: T-993·Z-S04-A02--】

This is a string of rigorous and indifferent codes that represent its model, partition, tactical functions and sequence.

In most cases, the soul of heaven has no name or symbol, only order and number.

Silas' heart trembled slightly, and he could feel the soul of the machine trying to identify him, trying to determine whether the existence of this new contact is worthy of its response.

The consciousness of Jihun carries a certain primitive and wild fighting instinct, like a hunter in the starry sky, sleeping in the endless darkness, driven by the only command.

At this moment, the gate of the bridge quietly opened, and the sound of the separation of metal bulkheads echoed in the quiet space.

Xia Xiu and Touls slowly walked into the bridge, and the sound of their footsteps was clearly heard on the metal floor.

Unlike the solemn atmosphere in the bridge, Xia Xiu's posture seemed particularly leisurely. He was holding a gray cat in his arms, with soft fur and his tail lazily hanging on his arms. The gray cat's pupils were half-closed. It seems that he doesn't care about what's going on around him.

Tules was a different situation. The fox's ears were slightly raised, and the amber pupils swept across the inside of the bridge, and his eyes stayed in the core area where the three-eyed students confronted the soul of the machine for a moment.

"It seems that he still needs time to apply to your beast soul in heaven."

Xia Xiu's eyes fell on Silas standing in front of the holographic interface, with a chuckling on the corner of his mouth.

Instead of rushing to speak, he stood aside and quietly watched how the three-eyed student controlled this iron beast.

The spiritual realm of Cyras was invisibly shocked, mixed with the unique combat intuition of the soul of the machine and the distrust of unknown commanders.

His palms were slightly hot, and sweat slid down his palms. Silas is no stranger to this feeling. It is a pull of taming and struggle. He knows where he is now - he has just stepped into the territory of Jihun and has achieved the first step of recognition, but the distance is complete. There is still a long way to go to tame it.

"It seems that the flagship's soul has not completely surrendered."

Xia Xiu said lightly, his tone could not hear any emotion. The gray cat in his arms opened his eyes and licked his paws casually, while he bent down slightly and placed the cat on one side of the console. Let it jump to the heights and leisurely overlook everything in the bridge.

Silas took a deep breath, slowly lowered his palm, and stopped further invasion of the soul of the machine.

The three-eyed student adjusted his breathing, raised his hand and gave a standard military salute to the principal and vice principal, and then said:

"The flagship of Sword of Glory is too big. Even if you reach an agreement with Jihun, students will need time to get along with it."

Xia Xiu looked at his student, with a hint of relief in his eyes, then raised his hand and patted the console gently, and said in a soft tone:

"Taughtering will not be done overnight. The soul of the machine is the will of the warship. Its obedience is established through repeated battles, execution of instructions, and even the baptism of blood and fire."

He paused for a moment, his eyes fell on Silas' forehead, and the mark of the third eye still faintly revealed some residual etheric fluctuations.

"And, in order to facilitate you to control the Sword of Glory, I also brought the gray wind here."

Xia Xiu showed a meaningful smile and pointed at the gray cat, "It will help you communicate with Jihun."

Silas's eyes fell on the gray cat that was gracefully tidying her hair, and her brows frowned slightly, obviously a little confused:

"Gray Wind..."

There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice. After all, in his perception, it was really difficult to connect the soul of the ship and this cat that looked so ordinary that it was really ordinary.

Xia Xiu's mouth curled up slightly and explained in a relaxed tone:

"This is the first soul of me to ignite myself. Its body is a ship called "Icefield Walker."

When he said this, he smiled and continued:

"This ship is now also anchored in the courtyard. When needed, you can also apply to the courtyard senior management to dispatch it."

"This guy..." Selas whispered, with a little disbelief in his tone, "It... is also part of the Soul of the Mechanism?"

Xia Xiu smiled, with a little meaning in his tone:

"It can be understood in this way, or it is a medium, a bridge of communication with the soul of the machine.

The existence of gray wind is like a bond that can help you adapt to the flagship faster and make the soul of the machine more familiar with you. ”

Silas was about to continue asking, but at this moment, the gray cat in front of him suddenly turned over, stretched his limbs lazily, and then walked to him with elegant steps. The unique cat eyes Looking at him steadily.

It was a stare that was completely different from ordinary creatures.

That feeling... made him inexplicably remember the moment when the ship's soul collided with his own spirit just now.

The gray cat slowly raised one of its claws, waved it gently in the air, and then made a low cry.

"Meow--"

Silas stretched out his hand and touched the cat's claws.

The next moment, he felt his palms heat up slightly, and the strange energy fluctuation was still wandering around his fingertips, like a mark, leaving a unique trace in the depths of his soul.

He knew that this was not only the message of Gray Wind, but also part of the will of the flagship Sword of Glory.

Silas looked up slightly, looked at Xia Xiu, took a deep breath, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn:

"……I see."

Gray Feng's tail swayed slightly, as if he was scrutinizing and as if he was acknowledging.

Then, it slowly jumped back to the console, curled up in a ball, as if it had returned to its lazy and leisurely appearance.

But Silas knew that things weren't that simple.

He looked down at his palm. The remaining energy fluctuations had not completely dissipated, and they were beating slightly, like a long-silent star slowly awakening.

And deep in the wave, he seemed to see a huge data scene. Some information flow belonging to the sword of glory slowly emerged in his consciousness through the projection of the grey wind's soul.

Shield System (God of Heaven):

[Void Shield ★{Note: Special Ether Technology Symbol}]

Void shield is a [Black Box Technology] that has fallen from the Ivy War gods, and is also one of the key defense systems currently mastered by most middle and upper-level forces. It uses high-energy plasma fields to generate an invisible energy barrier to resist enemy weapon attacks. .

Features:

·Absorbing energy attack: Can withstand direct attacks such as laser cannons, plasma cannons, explosive weapons, etc.

·Weapons that weaken kinetic energy: They also have certain defense capabilities for physical ammunition (such as naval gun shells, rail guns), but they are not as strong as high-energy weapons.

·Hydraft protection: Battleships are usually equipped with multiple layers of void shields. Even if a layer of shield is broken down, some energy can be quickly restored through emergency reactors.

shortcoming:

·Unable to resist jumping war: Void shield cannot block physical contact between small ships or landing compartments. Once the shield is weakened, the enemy can take the opportunity to jumping war.

·More fragile to continuous attacks: Shield energy needs time to recover, and if hit by high-intensity firepower in a short period of time, it may completely collapse.

The Void Shield Parameters of Sword of Glory Heavy Cruiser:

Number of layers: 4 layers

Recovery time 30-90 seconds (depending on the combat situation) Shield coverage is covered by all ships, but the side defense is slightly weak

—————

——This is a real war machine, a fortress where steel and ether blend.

Selas' finger curled up slightly, and he could clearly feel that the soul of the sword of glory was still wandering on the edge of his consciousness, and that unruly aura had not dissipated. The soul of the machine seems to be examining, tempting, and measuring whether he is really qualified to control this steel behemoth

Xia Xiu watched this scene quietly, his mouth slightly raised, and then his voice slowly rang:

“It’s a bit counterintuitive to say that the extraordinary technology of the Ivy War broke out, and part of it was actually deliberately spread by the gods.

They spread in the form of black box technology, directly opening up a large part of the shield technology that the major forces in Terra have strictly controlled.

This means that as long as you master the black box and have sufficient resources, almost all forces can equip this advanced shield system for their destroyers, frigates, cruisers and even battleships. ”

He paused, his eyes swept over the tactical holographic projection inside the bridge, and the shield structure diagrams of various ships appeared on the light curtain, and ancient and advanced energy barriers flowed through it.

"In the past, the Kingdom of Heaven's jumping gang tactics were mainly aimed at the genealogical shield technology of various forces.

Angels usually fly special Heavenly Fighter or special landing craft, use the gaps of shields to cross the enemy's defense line and perform the 'climbing tactic'

——Assault boats or landing crafts will stick to the shell of the enemy ship, allowing the commandos to directly infiltrate into the enemy ship from the outside and start fighting directly inside the ship. ”

Xia Xiu turned his head slightly, his golden pupils reflected the halo in the bridge, and his tone was a bit funny:

"But now the situation is different - shield technology is becoming more and more retro in the form of war."

He gently tapped the console, and detailed armed data of the Sword of Glory appeared on the projection interface.

On the light curtain, the structures of rows of weapon cabins are clearly visible, and the configurations of special fighter jets and torpedo cabins are also marked in it.

“Inside this flagship, special fighter jets and torpedo compartments are also specially designed for performing gang jump battles.

In the future, most of the airborne personnel will come from the operators of the Administration, and the permanent crews on the ship are mainly members of the Mole Science Society. ”

Xia Xiu withdrew his hand and his eyes fell back to Cyras. His voice was calm and with some meaningful advice:

"So, you have to remember that the extraordinary individuals who are responsible for the jumping gang tactics in the future will be the son of the courtyard."

His smile deepened a little, and he gently patted the three-eyed student's shoulder:

“I will give you an angel-like body so that you can truly be part of the warship.

Sometimes, I will fight with you. ”

Silas was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly accelerated.

At that moment, he felt that he was not only the commander of this ship, but also part of the war, part of the courtyard, and part of the great cause of the utopia of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Xia Xiu's voice continued, his tone was steady and firm, but with an irresistible sense of oppression:

“Next, I will continue to negotiate with abnormal capital to get some more blood.

I will create a strategic base for the courtyard at will, which will serve as a second strategic element, dive with us to the astral realm of depth 60. ”

His eyes slowly swept through the bridge and fell on Selas, with a meaningful smile on his lips:

“At the same time, I will arrange the first ‘Twenty-Four Holy Forging Surgery’ for every son of the courtyard, which will help you become truly extraordinary individuals who are comparable to angels.”

The light curtain inside the bridge flickered, tactical data flowed with star map images, and the ether world outline with a depth of 60 appeared on the screen, dark and huge.

Xia Xiu tapped the console lightly and continued:

“We must be prepared for a full war in the Elishid Empire.

After going deep into the 1960s, the distortion of time will become extremely serious. Maybe we have experienced several years of war within, but only two or three months have passed since the time of our existence. ”

He paused slightly, and the golden eyes looked directly at Cyras:

“So, you all have to be prepared, especially you, Cylas.

Not only the soul of the Glory Sword flagship, the destroyers and frigates used by the Kingdom of Heaven to support the courtyard will also be delivered one after another. You need to select the right candidates from the Garden Sons to form a fleet to ensure that they perform on the battlefield. Some power. ”

Xia Xiu's tone gradually became calm, as if he was declaring some undeniable fact:

“The top leaders of the kingdom of heaven are watching us, looking at the courtyard.

They want to see our results, and we must deliver an opening answer that satisfies them. ”

Silas' fingers were unconsciously tightened, looking at the principal's golden eyes, he knew that the earthly courtyard was about to face a real test.

And he, as a student of Hugh Abraham, was the son of the courtyard who accepted the first wave of orderism...

He doesn't want to disappoint the principal.
