Chapter 518 Something Is Wrong
The five thousand places are almost half of the places to enter Tianlong. In previous years, when the Tianlong Secret Realm was opened, there were usually tens of thousands of people.
As for the VIP cards, there are only 277 left on the market. Counting the 6 in this auction, there are only 283.
Facing the strong conditions of Cangyun City, what choice will the Red Pine City Lord Palace make?
At this moment, Chu Fei couldn't help but pay attention.
The entire Wei family and even the entire Red Pine City were agitated.
Some people think that the conditions are too extreme and can only lead to war, but more ordinary people do not want war; but ordinary people cannot decide the direction of things.
At this restless moment, another news came: the motorcycle team heading north, the Feishuang Team, had returned.
The Feishuang team initially expected to return in 7 days, but the actual return time was 10 days.
For this reason, the Young City Lord Liu Weichang sent an invitation to Chu Fei. After all, the Feishuang team was completed under the guidance of Chu Fei. For this post-war inspection, Chu Fei should be invited as a matter of course.
Chu Fei did not refuse, but he was followed by two little tails - Huang Xianwen and Wei Fanghua.
Three people, three motorcycles. When facing the motorcycle team, obviously you can't beat them with ease, you have to have style.
While advancing, Huang Xianwen said: "We planned to return in seven days, but actually returned in ten days. Something must have happened. The City Lord's Mansion is not as honest as it seems."
Wei Fanghua said leisurely: "It will be clear if you ask after seeing them. A team of 126 people, including all motorcycle riders, cannot hide them all."
There shouldn't be too many people staring at this motorcycle team, as it will be difficult to hide.
Huang Xianwen had a guess, "Is it possible that the city lord's palace will regard motorcycle riders as the trump card in the war? This trip to the north was supposed to take seven days to return, but because of something that suddenly happened, it took two more days to practice the battle formation?"
Chu Fei spoke, "If the motorcycle team is used properly, it can indeed be used as a trump card in war. Whether it is mobility ability or individual combat ability, the motorcycle team far exceeds the ordinary army.
The motorcycle team allows semi-awakened people to unleash the combat effectiveness of awakened people.
The number of semi-awakened people in the Wei family and Huang family must be at least a thousand. If this was well armed, it would be equivalent to the combat power of thousands of awakened beings. "
Wei Fanghua's eyes lit up and she thought thoughtfully: "If this is really the case, we really need to take a closer look. I don't know how many of the 126 people who set off at that time are left."
When they arrived outside the city, they found a huge crowd of people outside the city. Representatives from many families, mercenary groups, adventure groups, business groups, etc. were watching. Ordinary people even more.
The Wei family and the Huang family also sent people, but Chu Fei took Wei Fanghua and Huang Xianwen to find the young city lord.
The motorcycle team has not arrived yet. However, someone from the City Lord's Mansion was loudly announcing the countdown: 12 minutes left.
Countdown, report every ten seconds.
Young City Lord Liu Weichang's mental state is obviously not as cheerful as before. Just looking at him, you can feel the pressure on him.
Also, with the attack on Cangyun City's academic exchange group and the current attitude of Cangyun City, all the pressure is on the shoulders of the City Lord's Mansion. Not to mention that there are various competitions within Red Pine City, and several families do not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
Seeing Chu Fei, Liu Weichang squeezed out a smile on his face, but when he saw Wei Fanghua and then Huang Xianwen walking together, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and the look he looked at Chu Fei was no longer gentle.
Chu Fei didn't care at all. When you made your choice, you were destined to have this result.
Everyone must pay the price for their own choices. As for being a fool or something like that, you absolutely can’t do it.
Chu Fei came to Liu Weichang and said, "Young City Lord, long time no see."
Liu Weichang said quietly: "Yes, long time no see. If I don't look for you, you won't come to me."
Chu Fei showed a helpless expression, "Thank you, Young City Master, for your concern. In fact, I am focused on breakthrough now. I think I can talk about the rest after entering 10.0.
It just so happens that the Wei family can now provide the resources to enter 10.0, so I will stay with the Wei family for the time being.
Besides, practitioners have long lifespans and good relationships, so they don’t live day by day. "
Some people murmured in their hearts: If the relationship is not good, then wouldn't it be true that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge?
Liu Weichang laughed at Chu Fei's words, "Okay, what you said makes sense, but I can't explain it. I heard that you have become a super prodigal recently. How does it feel to dismantle the source core?"
"Well...it's okay. It's quite touching. Thinking about dismantling something worth billions or billions just like this, I feel a great sense of accomplishment."
Liu Weichang:......
Is this what I’m asking!
Seeing Chu Fei playing Tai Chi, Liu Weichang went straight to the point, "I heard that your research is not going well, but the City Lord's Mansion has some technology, maybe we can cooperate.
The City Lord’s Mansion has also studied the situation of the source core. A considerable part of the current complex algorithms in the City Lord's Mansion are derived from studying the source core.
How about, how about thinking about it? "
Being so straightforward, Chu Fei couldn't help but look at Wei Fanghua, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Well, in fact, this time the Huang family joined the research, they negotiated with the Wei family, and I also negotiated with the Wei family."
Wei Fanghua raised his head slightly, his chin was a bit high.
Liu Weichang frowned slightly and changed the subject, "By the way, Chu Fei, do you think the motorcycle fleet can be used in large-scale military wars? It is a war against a super complex environment between human legions."
“I have never tried this, and I have never experienced a large-scale war between humans.
But at that time, the concept of the motorcycle team was developed from the historical ideas of the Blitzkrieg of World War II. During the Blitzkrieg of World War II, motorcycles were one of the most important vehicles.
As for war thoughts, all I can think of right now is four words: exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses. The strengths of the motorcycle team are still obvious, but the shortcomings should not be underestimated.
The production and maintenance of locomotives requires the establishment of additional production lines, consuming additional resources, etc., and the establishment of a new logistics team.
The speed of a motorcycle also means vulnerability. Once targeted measures are taken, motorcycle teams can easily develop into death squads.
As far as I know, ordinary rockets, heavy machine guns, artillery fire coverage, and terrain restrictions can easily have a fatal impact on a motorcycle team. "
Liu Weichang nodded slightly, "But we can develop different levels of motorcycle teams. Such as 10.0, 9.0, 8.0, even semi-awakened, or fully equipped teams. If multiple teams cooperate with each other, there may be unexpected results. "
Chu Fei shrugged, "I have never tried this. But I think that the speed of a 10.0 practitioner running wildly on foot is faster than the speed of a motorcycle. What's the point of this motorcycle?"
"We are already testing super motorcycles that can reach speeds of more than 500 kilometers per hour."
Chu Fei nodded and said nothing more.
In fact, Chu Fei felt that it was of little significance if the locomotive's speed exceeded 500 kilometers.
The original design of the motorcycle team was mainly aimed at semi-awakened people and low-level awakened people. These people have limited individual combat power, but they can operate motorcycles and control the power of technology.
But after 9.0, especially after 10.0, the power of conventional technology can no longer keep up with the power of the awakened ones.
For example, Chu Fei can now produce 160 calories of energy with one punch. This is the data before coming to Red Pine City. Chu Fei hasn't tested it yet, but I think the progress will be small in the future.
Aiming at a point, 160 calories of energy are erupted. If the hardness of the fist is not considered, this punch is enough to penetrate half a meter of homogeneous steel plate!
Even considering the actual situation and the strength of flesh and blood, Chu Fei's attack power with his bare hands is enough to destroy a large number of military equipment.
Not to mention that Chu Fei had to use a sword when fighting. With one cut, coupled with the ultrasonic knife technique, even a one-meter-thick steel plate can't stop it.
In this case, are you sure that equipping the Awakened with a motorcycle will increase their combat effectiveness? It feels like it's lagging behind.
Everything has a scope. Even the source core has its scope of application. Not to mention locomotives with lower technical content.
There is also the cost of upgrading the motorcycle, which should not be underestimated. A locomotive with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour and a locomotive with a speed of 500 kilometers per hour are two generations of technology.
When he was in Feihu City, Chu Fei also wanted to design a better motorcycle. But in the end, considering materials, production capacity, cost, etc., we had to give up.
A locomotive with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour can be retrofitted on the existing industrial basis. At most, individual parts can be customized.
But a locomotive with a speed of 500 kilometers per hour requires the establishment of a separate production line, new materials, new certification standards, and even a separate control system, etc.
In terms of cost, it must be increased at least ten times.
Feihu City is like this, and Red Pine City is similar.
With this cost, wouldn't it be good to arm high-level awakened ones? Give them potions, storage space, custom weapons, and more.
But now Chu Fei has learned to speak and will not object. That's fine if you say yes. Anyway, I have no experience in this area, and to make it clear, I am not to blame for any problems.
Liu Weichang seemed to be focusing on the motorcycle team. Considering the pressure that Hongsong City was facing now, Chu Fei could understand.
Conventional military force is just that, everyone understands each other. But this motorcycle team that suddenly appeared was really surprising.
It seems that the motorcycle team does have strong war potential. It’s completely a blitzkrieg at the awakener level!
Chu Fei just discussed with Liu Weichang word by word.
At this time, someone whispered something in Liu Weichang's ear. Chu Fei didn't hear it clearly. The other party used a method of transmitting sound into the secret.
But Liu Weichang frowned and lost interest in talking to Chu Fei.
The countdown is getting back to zero little by little.
The motorcycle team did not appear. Chu Fei listened with his ears straightened, but didn't hear anything.
what's the situation?
The person in charge of the countdown came down from the high platform with an embarrassed expression.
There was an uproar all around.
The city lord's palace immediately sent people to search for him and kept in touch, but there was no reply at all.
In the midst of the busyness, Chu Fei's ears suddenly twitched, he suddenly looked to the southeast, and then whispered to Liu Weichang: "The south is probably 15 kilometers away."
Liu Weichang immediately sent people to search.
The team did not come from the northeast as planned, but instead appeared from the southeast, which made Chu Fei feel something was wrong.
About three minutes later, Chu Fei could clearly hear the roar of the locomotive and feel the slight tremor of the earth - which was previously calculated through the wind of perception.
Similarly, many people heard it and turned their heads to look south.
But when analyzing the sound of the locomotives, Chu Fei frowned slightly. The situation seemed wrong. It seemed that there were less than 80 locomotives left. After careful analysis, there are only 77 locomotives left!
Moreover, many locomotives have faint noises, much like excessive mechanical wear and tear.
Based on Chu Fei's understanding of locomotives and the production process of Hongsong City locomotives, there shouldn't be such a big wear and tear.
After all, Liu Weichang gave Chu Fei a locomotive, and Chu Fei certainly had a deep understanding of the quality of Hongsong City's locomotives.
For Hongsong City's locomotives, it is absolutely no problem to maintain them once every 10,000 kilometers. And this trip to the north, minus 2,000 kilometers of round trip, there are 8,000 kilometers left, enough for a few days of combat.
Even if it occasionally exceeds one or two thousand kilometers, the impact is not great. Although it will affect the overall life, it is fine for a short time.
Moreover, when this team set out, they also carried a lot of vulnerable parts and lubricants. The plan at the time was: to meet the combat needs of 20,000 kilometers, and the limit could reach 30,000 kilometers.
The result turned out to be like this?
While thinking, 77 locomotives gradually arrived near the city gate. All the locomotives had mottled exteriors, and the protective steel plates in front were also bumpy, and there were many bullet holes. Looking at the caliber of the bullet holes, you can tell that it is definitely a machine gun, with a caliber of more than 20 mm.
Many shock-absorbing beams were bent by bullets.
77 motorcycles, some of which have two people sitting on them. This type of motorcycle is actually designed for one person, and the back is full of weapons and carriers. At this time, the equipment in the back was removed, and a hand-rubbed wooden board was added, and it was done.
And those sitting in the back seat were not in good condition. Some people had a missing cheek, bloody. Obviously bitten by a bullet.
It was not uncommon to have missing arms and legs.
Even those who drove the motorcycles were seriously injured and just barely supported.
The most important thing is that the blood on everyone's body has not dried up!
The leading captain Liu Gaoyang actually had a fist-sized penetrating wound in the right lung!
Such a wound, if placed on an ordinary person, could have been pulled out and buried long ago. But even on the awakened, these injuries are not trivial.
Seeing this scene, everyone was in an uproar.
The city lord's face changed.
Chu Fei generously donated money at the first time, and directly took out half a bottle of primary resurrection potion, about 700 to 800 milliliters, and stuffed it into Liu Weichang's hand.
Liu Weichang didn't even have time to nod his head to thank him. He held the bottle, spread his wings, and flew over directly.
Chu Fei's half bottle of primary resurrection potion was effective and was prepared for himself. These people who crawled back from hell finally saved their lives and sat cross-legged on the ground one by one.
As for the motorcycles, they were thrown aside and lay on the ground in a mess. Some motorcycles slid far away on the ground and even rolled into the ditch with their wheels facing up.
It was quiet around. Liu Gaoyang was the first to recover. He walked in front of Liu Weichang and bowed his head in silence.
"What's going on!" Liu Weichang's face was of course not good.
Liu Gaoyang's voice was hoarse, "We were suddenly ambushed 20 minutes ago.
All the enemy's weapons were silenced, and the surrounding signal shielding was turned on.
Considering that the enemy was well prepared, I immediately decided to break out to the south and make a strategic shift.
However, when we broke out, we also killed a lot of the enemy, and killed a sneak attack, and we gained some gains, leaving a lot of the enemy.
But we didn't dare to let go of the contact on the road to prevent the communication from being tracked and exposing our position.
Hurry up and send someone to track down. My injury has stabilized and I can lead the way."
In the back, Chu Fei listened to the conversation and thought about it. The other party was able to ambush accurately on the way back from the motorcycle team. There must be an insider!
Although outsiders pay attention to the motorcycle team, they will never know every detail of the motorcycle team, such as the retreat route. Only their own people will know.
So Liu Gaoyang's later use of signal silence is understandable and the right way.
But in this troubled time, something like this happened again. Chu Fei felt the atmosphere of impending storm, and was moving towards the direction where the dark clouds were pressing down on the city and trying to destroy it.
There was an uproar around him. No one expected such a result.
The city lord finally spoke with a gloomy face, "I had already guessed that someone would target the city lord's mansion. So before the Feishuang team set out, I had secretly told Liu Gaoyang to return in ten days.
But I didn't expect it!"
