Chapter 757 A Gift from the Deep Sea
"Everyone, get ready!"
"Attack!"
Blazing arcs of electricity burst out on the track, and tall blue mechas shot out rapidly, passing through the hundreds of meters long launch track and rushing into the boundless space.
As swift as a flying bird, and as small as a flying bird, these blue mechas quickly turned into tiny invisible dots after entering space, making people doubt whether they can really play a role in the war.
Compared with the universe, humans are extremely small, especially after driving small fighters or mechas into deep space, the sense of individual existence will be instantly submerged by the overly vast and even desperate space.
'If you don't have advanced thrusters, you will float in the lonely deep space for hundreds of thousands of years, and you can't get close to any land. 'A popular phrase during the great pioneering period.
As a race of cosmic civilization, humans are still too young and immature to fully adapt to this sea of stars.
This is the Fekoro star field in the Eastern Star Region, an unobtrusive place, and it is precisely because of this that it was also chosen as a test site for new weapons.
In the starry sky, this group of mechas shuttled quickly and soon encountered the opponents in the exercise. A group of crimson-painted mechas, just looking at the sharp-edged outline, it is easy to associate it with the back armor and curved horns of the rhinoceros beetle, which is very aggressive and has a strong sense of power.
It is obvious that the mechas used by these opponents are imitating the main force of the Central Star Region, the "Fierce Red Falcon", and such a confrontation is also in line with the current situation in the Eastern Star Region.
The blue mechas and the crimson mechas staggered back and forth in the air. The two sides kept firing at high speed, testing each other, observing each other, and looking for opportunities. As mechas of different factions, their respective styles are also very different.
The blue mecha shell seems to have a layer of transparent glaze, which makes the mecha particularly beautiful. This special glaze makes it extremely advantageous in fighting against laser-related weapons. Unless the opponent's long-range weapons are exposed for a long time, they will not leave any traces on the mecha shell.
At the same time, their power system is also very special, so that it can still maintain extremely high flexibility and maneuverability at high speed, and draw a ghostly flight trajectory.
After the initial confrontation, the two sides of the exercise gradually became serious and entered a white-hot battle state.
The blue mecha shuttled through the torrent of "red pin particles" constantly ejected by the opponent, and quickly approached the heavy and solid crimson mechas.
After getting close, the two sides began to fight fiercely, and the red and blue lightsabers collided from time to time, creating brilliant sparks and debris on the shells of each other's mechas.
...
Half an hour later, the exercise slowly came to an end. The 60 blue mechas that were dispatched at the beginning were now only 8, and their opponents were annihilated and became scrap metal that stopped in space.
"The exercise ends here, and each team begins to count the number of people and carry out rescue."
"Yes." An excited answer came from the voice channel.
In the captain's machine in the center, the driver pressed the button to release the combat mode, and the blue liquid that soaked the entire cockpit gradually drained, and then with the blowing and dehumidification of hot air, his body quickly dried up.
At this time, he started the automatic cruise mode, letting the mech return to the home port, then leaned back in his chair and took off his helmet, ready to relax for a while.
Even for a Sequence 6 Beyonder, driving such a large mech would consume a lot of energy. After the highly intense exercise, the previously suppressed fatigue quickly surged up, and he fell into a deep sleep.
About 25 minutes later, as if an alarm clock rang, he opened his eyes and woke up, and his tired spirit was much clearer.
He tapped the projection screen with his fingers, letting the AI on the mech pull up the battle report of this exercise, and then watched the combat data and the performance of each team member on it.
"Quide is a good kid. He can survive and rank fourth." He glanced at the data table. He was still ranked first, and there was a new face below.
"Haha, it seems that our team has added another high-level combat power." In the voice channel, several familiar veterans responded with a smile.
"Where is he from? He doesn't look like an ordinary military academy graduate."
"It is said that he came from the south of the Federation. He was supposed to serve in the southern star region, but his family moved to the Fekoro star region, so he followed them."
"This is a good opportunity for us to have a good exchange. I am also curious about how he trained before."
Several people chatted in the team channel, and then the mechas returned to the home port one by one, and they also walked out of the cabin.
"Report to the commander, this exercise was successfully completed!"
The captain led the 12 members to line up in a line and saluted the staff and commander waiting at the home port.
"Well, after so many experiments, this time we finally achieved a good success." The commander patted his shoulder and asked him and his companions to go back and rest first, and then went to the conference hall in the home port with the staff. "
After 47 iterations and improvements, the 'Blue Shark' mecha we developed now can finally defeat the 'Fierce Red Falcon' mecha in the confrontation and gain a certain advantage." The host announced in an excited tone, and then applause rang out in the conference hall.
"Although the progress on large warships is slow, the progress of various types of miniaturized weapons is still not lagging behind, reaching the mainstream level of the central star field."
"If you want to explore advantages in this regard, you must change your combat methods in the future, avoid the enemy's main fleet, and use flexible and high-speed mobility to break into the enemy's rear, and gain an advantage in close combat."
Because of the rise of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction, the pressure on the regional star field has risen sharply. Not only is the western star region preparing for war, but factions in other regions are also trying their best to find means of confrontation, and this new mecha project is one of them.
After the meeting, the senior officer who presided over the meeting summarized the results of the exercise into a report and brought it to the singer who had been waiting for a long time.
"Lord Shui Yanqing, this is the result of the exercise, and the data report of the new mecha." In an underground research institute, the blue-haired singer took the documents passed to her.
"Very good." Shui Yanqing's clothing style is now slightly more mature, and her blue hair is spread out like seaweed, with some spiral waves at the end.
"Let's start arranging the production line according to this design. We don't have much time left."
"Yes." The officer stood at attention and answered, then walked out of the room.
Soon, the place returned to silence. The quiet underground room had no windows, only various aquariums, in which various small fish, jellyfish, shellfish, and aquatic creatures lived comfortably, which looked a bit dreamy under the blue light.
Shui Yanqing rubbed her tired eyebrows, stood up, and walked among the aquariums, occasionally stopping at one place to watch the swimming life inside.
Faced with the increasingly powerful central faction of the Federation, the traditional forces in the Eastern Star Region have been losing ground. If it weren't for the 'Emerald Dragon' in the Southern Star Region mediating and balancing, they would have been crushed several years ago. Although it is peaceful now, many people know that this is only temporary.
Once the central government of the Federation solves the problem in the Western Star Region, they will definitely turn the fleet again to deal with the remaining forces in the Eastern Star Region.
Under such heavy pressure, the original traditional forces also have various ideas.
"Let's not talk about the ideas of other factions for now. If it's us, the best way out is to leave this troubled place." As her predecessor, 'Mercury Bell' Fui sent a message not long ago, reminding Shui Yanqing to prepare early.
Originally, Shui Yanqing, who has mermaid blood and genes of a new race, would find it difficult to gain recognition from the mainstream groups of the Federation. If it were a peaceful era, it would be fine, but now it is definitely not a stable period. Once an extreme situation occurs, her situation will be particularly dangerous.
After receiving Fui's reminder, Shui Yanqing began to speed up the advancement of the biological gene plan, trying to obtain results before the last minute, and making certain preparations for future self-protection issues.
"If only I had another ten years." Shui Yanqing gently stroked the glass of the aquarium in front of her.
After receiving the email from the 'Deep Sea Union', her faction had made great breakthroughs in delaying aging and hibernation technology, but it would take a long time to transform these two technologies into practical applications.
"Although the Milky Way is large, from the perspective of the entire universe, it is still a world in an aquarium with various restrictions."
"Often only by leaving the environment you once lived in can you judge everything at that time more objectively and fairly."
The Milky Way, influenced by the Sea of Eka, has brought miraculous extraordinary power to the life of this world and created a special living environment.
If there is no extraordinary power, what kind of development path will the real universe outside take? Or, there are other mysterious powers in other galaxies that are different from the Sea of Eka, bringing more endless changes and influences.
The world will never end, and the involution will never get out. The members of the 'Deep Sea Union' faction are very opposed to this kind of competitive and consuming life mode. For them, life should be a colorful journey, where they can appreciate the endless scenery and wonders along the way with friends and family.
They are not strong, but they have their own chic and cheerfulness.
"But before we set off, I still want to leave everyone a gift."
For her, she has already got the ticket to the world outside the galaxy, but as a singer of the Federation, Shui Yanqing, who has also felt the gentle side of the Federation, still wants to leave a hope for those who share the same ideals as herself, and popularize this technology.
"When the time is ripe, people with the same ideals as me will also set sail on the ship." This is the blessing and gift she decided to leave.
