Chapter 245 "Fleet"

Soon after.

The simulated town was covered with "fog" and quickly filled every corner, for comprehensive disinfection and removal of the Flood spores remaining in the air.

Bang~! Bang!

And those fragile infected forms would all break and shatter the moment they came into contact with the "fog".

Only the D-level personnel whose bodies, consciousness and memories were occupied by the infected forms and who had become combat forms were not afraid of the disinfection fog at all, and even increased their activity.

Hiss——!

However, the Templar defenders who were originally on standby above the simulated town began to continuously shoot high-energy beams, orderly solving the aggressive combat forms.

The Primarch who broke into the mall alone and rescued six D-level survivors was the "grown-up" Mortarion.

But if we talk about the specific age, Mortarion is just over one year old.

It may be that the environment in the Halo universe is relatively "harsh". After all, from the moment they opened their eyes after birth, Mortarion and Corax's subconscious mind had the idea that they needed to develop and grow as quickly as possible to better assist their father and the company in completing the integration.

In addition, when they accompanied the Elf Queen Tinas Loslien to Terrala, they also fought with the beasts there. When they arrived at the core world of 0459, they also had a friendly duel with the elites.

These actions further accelerated their growth and development.

At the same time.

The eastern isolation area of ​​the surface test center.

The six survivors have been forced to remove their weapons, take off their power armor, and put on the orange prison uniforms exclusive to D-level personnel.

"Please come forward and accept the test."

More than a dozen technicians wearing white protective clothing, holding various instruments, ordered the survivors to go to the designated location and start a comprehensive scanning procedure.

Then, the survivors were asked to lie on a fixed operating table equipped with a robotic arm.

Then, the moment they lay down, the operating table released alloy straps to bind their necks, waists, wrists and ankles.

Although the six survivors looked unhappy about this, they cooperated very well without any hesitation.

Because Mortarion, who was carrying a giant sickle and a large-caliber plasma hand cannon on his waist, was standing on the right side of the isolation area.

The Primarch crossed his hands in front of his chest armor, and the eye monitor on his helmet emitted a terrifying green luster and stared at them.

Even if the survivors were bold, they did not dare to disobey orders.

To be honest, their psychological quality was already very good.

Being watched by a Primarch who was nearly four meters tall and stronger than the tyrant, those D-level personnel who were captured by Atlas for committing multiple rapes, kidnapping, and trafficking children would have been "scared to death" in a physical sense.

After the survivors were fixed, the sterilized mechanical arm began to operate, taking over the technicians to perform more detailed testing steps and extract blood and tissue samples.

Confirm that everything is normal.

Mortarion turned and left, passing through the 20-meter-long sterilized corridor, and then through the air valve gate to the eastern outer area.

Walk out of the closed building and reach the open outside world.

Mortarion looked up at the naturally born star, then turned on the communication and said to the quiet river bank:

"This is Mortarion, please teleport me back to the core base."

"Received, please be prepared."

The reply from the quiet river bank came from the other end of the communication.

Then, a blue-green light ball wrapped Mortarion safely, and when the light ball dissipated, the huge body of the original body disappeared with it.

On the other hand, the core world under the surface, with artificial stars providing light and energy;

The first thing that came into view was the battle fortress and the voyage-class dreadnought suspended on the edge of the artificial star.

In addition, there are nearly 400 aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers, frigates and supply ships belonging to Atlas.

One of the aircraft carriers, which is nearly five kilometers long, is the Carthage-class, which is regarded as a super aircraft carrier by the UNSC.

The remaining three are New Era heavy aircraft carriers with a length of more than three kilometers and twelve hangars.

And Atlas has also made improvements and appropriate modifications based on the intelligence provided by Melissa.

Although it is far less than the blade-shaped Sojourner-class dreadnought in terms of volume, the New Era looks like a movable space city from any angle.

In the current timeline of the Halo universe, the main aircraft carriers in service of the UNSC are all "old antiques", and their development progress is indeed slow compared to cruisers that also have the ability to carry personnel and vehicles.

In order to cope with the increasingly fierce colonial rebellion and enhance the deployment capabilities of ground forces, the UNSC Navy has to transform a large number of colonial ships to serve as traditional "amphibious landing ships" or support boats.

For example, the Phoenix-class colony ship, which was put into use in the 2300s, was converted into a support boat responsible for providing ground support.

The Phoenix-class colony ship is more than two kilometers long and can accommodate tens of thousands of colonists.

And after arriving on the new world, the Phoenix-class will be forcibly retired and dismantled to be used as materials for the colonists to build their homes.

After being modified and equipped with weapons, the Phoenix-class support boat also effectively filled the gap in the UNSC Navy.

Even though the UNSC Navy has never acknowledged that the Phoenix-class is an aircraft carrier, in the eyes of the Marines and most soldiers, the Phoenix-class is no different from an aircraft carrier.

However, no matter how it is transformed, the Phoenix class is a product of more than 200 years ago.

Moreover, the Phoenix class can only perform exceptionally well under the command of a few elite captains and achieve the expected results of the UNSC Navy's top leaders.

Therefore, in order to solve this embarrassing situation, the UNCS Navy launched the "New Era" and "Carthage" projects in the 2460s, intending to invest in the most advanced technology at the time to create the most powerful aircraft carrier for mankind.

Finally, in 2475, the first New Era-class heavy aircraft carrier was successfully launched and directly put into the war to suppress the rebels.

And in 2490, the first Carthage aircraft carrier also entered service.

As the exclusive intelligent AI of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), Melissa naturally stored various data on the New Era and Carthage.

Therefore, after Melissa defected to the Atlas side, the engineering department immediately combined room-temperature superconducting ore, the Reaper's energy shield generation technology, the Covenant's jump engine, and the Forerunner hard light technology deciphered by Apu, Melissa and Halsey, and carried out a comprehensive "upgrade".

As for the remaining cruisers, destroyers and frigates, they also received the same treatment.

Putting aside the style, the Atlas fleet, which is a human ship at first glance, is a CCS-class battlecruiser belonging to the Covenant technology, and four CRS-class light cruisers, which are sailing out of the gate with a diameter of 100 kilometers at a constant speed and heading to the surface atmosphere.
