Chapter 463 The Sky Train is out!
"By flying?"
Sasha was overjoyed when she heard that and jumped up. "Really? Are we going to activate the Sky Train?"
For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Xian, but Ryan and his group from the Falcon Sea Group had different looks.
It sounds like you have another train?
"This is going to be a bit risky," Lin Xian said directly. "With the orbit around the star broken and the Adventists targeting us, finding an orbit to cross the Pacific Ocean won't be easy."
At this time, Qian Dele, who was sitting on the sofa, said leisurely, "Flying directly over the Pacific Ocean, what a good idea! Staying at sea is too depressing. It's completely different from the beach, waves and sunset I imagined."
"So you really plan to cross the Pacific by train?"
On the Falcon Sea Group side, Vanessa was surprised: "This is so exciting."
Erica stepped forward and said, "A few months ago, the Federation used this line for many maritime material dispatches. Although it was fraught with danger at the time, thanks to the maintenance of the Federation and the Interstellar Army, this line was temporarily operational."
"Yes." Ryan nodded and said to Lin Xian, "When the slogan of fleeing eastward was shouted, many trains were running on the Ocean Line, but the situation did not last long."
"Because of the Giant Ocean God?" Chen Sixuan asked.
"Not really." Ryan shrugged. "After all, it's just a track. On land, even if the city is destroyed, there are other ways to go. This is not the case here. The more people flee, the more attacks and damage to the base station tracks will occur. For the Federation, the cost of maintaining this line will become extremely high, and the loss of personnel will also be considerable. After all, it's too dangerous at sea. Therefore, the destruction of the ocean track is a matter of time. Now, even if you continue to search forward, you should only find some remnants of the former maritime industry. It is unlikely to run smoothly."
"I think so." Lin Xian nodded. They had just arrived at Haiyan Island when they encountered a collapse of hundreds of miles. Even if they had managed to escape from Haiyan Island, he had no confidence in the subsequent trajectory.
"But you said, flying?" Vanessa glanced at the interior of the carriage: "This train?"
"No, it's another vehicle." Lin Xian replied calmly: "I have another starship in my hands."
"What!" Gaddy was surprised. At this time, several core members of the Falcon Sea Group all widened their eyes. Ryan lowered his sunglasses and looked at Lin Xian, then looked at his hands. He remembered that he had summoned a giant mecha arm. He was stunned for a moment, and then understood it in an instant.
"Lin, besides the starship, do you also have a mecha army?" Ryan asked curiously at this time.
"Not really." Lin Xian said with a smile.
"Then I still have to remind you that flying over the Pacific Ocean is not a good idea." Ryan looked at Lin Xian: "Based on what I learned from the Foundation before, the ghost ray mica is just a small delicacy in those storm clouds."
Lin Xian nodded: "I know, so let's take a risk and make a high-speed crossing over the sea at low altitude."
"What's the direction?"
"Viola." Lin Xian looked directly at Viola.
Viola stood in front of the holographic star map with her hands behind her back. A steady mechanical voice sounded:
I have used the hydrographic and gyrocompass to calibrate my current sea coordinates to 18°14′ South Latitude, 177°25′ East Longitude. I have developed three transoceanic flight plans.
Sailing from North America to Oakland via the Kermadec Trench and from South America to Santa Cruz via the Strait of Magellan both take over 40 hours, and using subsonic flight is estimated to take over 31 hours and 15 minutes. The final option is to sail directly through the super-strong westerlies to the polar north ice sheet. This allows for the fastest possible landing at the poles, within 22 hours, but it is relatively risky. In addition to the westerlies and Star Abyss No. 8, the northern ice sheet and the polar Kunlun City also have tens of thousands of kilometers of uninhabited ice sheet areas.
"Going directly to the poles is unlikely," Ryan said. "Even the Foundation doesn't dare to embark on such a route. The poles have perpetual daylight, but the westerlies are in polar night. Unless you're desperate, don't even consider such a route, even if you have a starship."
"I won't be that reckless. Besides, my convoy is still entering North America, so it's safer to go by land. I heard that the Storm Strait is now a Shura zone. Many people who want to go to the polar regions must cross this sea. We can't escape."
"So when are you leaving?" Ryan asked.
Lin Xian glanced at him and said, "Right away."
"Are you planning to continue sailing on the sea?" KIKI asked them at this time.
Ryan glanced at his teammates and said calmly, "The word 'sailing' is too cool. Our plan is to cross the Storm Strait."
He turned to look at Lin Xian and said solemnly, "Lin, thank you for your leadership. I express my gratitude to you on behalf of the 532 survivors of the Falcon Sea Regiment. This is the spoils I collected with the copper ball. I said that this should all belong to you."
As soon as he said this, Erica and his men dragged in two large ammunition boxes. When the lids were opened, a terrifying dark energy wave shot up into the sky. Everyone looked and saw that the two ammunition boxes were filled with dark red blood essences of various sizes. Each one was absolutely spherical. What was surprising was that these blood essences had no fishy smell and were extremely clean. It didn't look like they had been deliberately cleaned, as if these blood essences were naturally like this.
"Wow, so many?!" Lu Chang exclaimed.
"If you didn't know, you'd think we'd killed a few hundred Special-level or S-level creatures." Monica crossed her arms and turned her gaze from the blood essence in the box to Lin Xian: "Now we won't have to worry about supplies, ammunition or weapons."
"Are you going to give us all of these?" Chen Sixuan asked a key question at this time.
Ryan smiled casually and looked at Lin Xian. "Lin, although I asked Azir to arrange for the fleet and the Neptune to sail unmanned towards the Republic Islands, with the power of the Garan Volcano, we don't have much hope. Now so many people in the team have no place to live, so... I want to ask you for this submarine, or until our people find another ship."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian said directly, "Since we're cooperating, both this submarine and the blood essence are our spoils of war. There's no question of exchange. Without your help, we wouldn't have been so successful, let alone getting some blood essence. I think we should split the blood essence in half."
Ryan nodded when he heard it, and without hesitation, he happily accepted it and said to Lin Xian: "Lin, I believe that your becoming the Swordsman of the Phoenix Society is not a coincidence. I have seen it this time. If there is a chance, we will meet again in the polar region!"
"good."
Lin Xian shook hands with him and said nothing more. The daytime was getting shorter and shorter, and Ryan had to hurry up to lead the team to arrange the next plan. So he said goodbye to Lin Xian and others temporarily, took away half of the blood essence, and led the core members back to the Beifeng 09 nuclear submarine.
Before leaving, Vanessa gave Lin Xian two things. One was a lattice culture device, a small device similar to a mixer. It looked very complicated and well-made. It was obviously an industrial product from a large organization. The other was some information on lattice evolution that Vanessa had collected and studied herself. She knew that this might be what Infinity needed now, so she gave it to Lin Xian.
"Lin, thank you." As Vanessa left, she turned back to Lin Xian and said with a smile, "I have a feeling we'll meet again. I look forward to fighting alongside you."
"Take care of yourself."
Rumble!
The waves were surging, and the black submarine carrying hundreds of people slowly sank into the sea, then disappeared under the ocean current.
Watching the Falcon Sea Group leave, Shuqin was puzzled: "The sea is so dangerous, and I thought they wanted to go to land with us."
"Dangerous is relative."
Lin Xian closed the Infinity's external watertight door, turned back to the carriage and said, "They can see trouble like the giant ocean god hunting as an opportunity. Ryan is not a simple person. Moreover, he has a background in the foundation and has many ways to save his life. In comparison, he prefers to go by water."
"Perhaps escaping is not their first priority."
Qian Dele stretched and said, "With so much blood essence, if we circulate it on the black market, we can immediately organize a medium-to-large-scale organization. I think they are more concerned about the evolution of prosthetic limbs and the improvement of superpowers. They are quite courageous."
"Actually, this idea is sound," Monica said. "If you have the strength and the means, you can take this opportunity to improve your overall strength. This will increase your chances of survival before the apocalypse."
Hearing this, Brother Huo rarely made a sound of agreement.
"Hey! This venerable one agrees. Among all kinds of hardships, only cultivation is supreme. If our special abilities can one day defeat the giant ocean demon god, then we will not fear any disaster."
"You're thinking too simply. That thing can shatter an island with a single slap. How much do our abilities need to evolve to resist it?" KIKI crossed her arms as she flew through the air. "I think we should focus on conquering the giant sky curtain. As long as we can fly out, that's what we call pioneering the future."
"Lin Xian." Chen Sixuan said to Lin Xian as they walked, "Which way have you decided to go?"
Lin Xian walked to the dining table and pointed a direction towards the holographic projection projected by Viola.
"here."
When Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian pointing to the center of the two land lines, she frowned and said, "Hawaii?!"
"right."
Lin Xian checked the time and immediately explained to everyone, "We only have less than eight hours of daylight now. To be on the safe side, we have to stop at night. So, we'll head to the Hawaiian Islands and spend the night there."
"By the way, let's take a look at the situation. If flying in the air is too dangerous, we can consider re-entering the circumstellar orbit and heading to South America, because there is a circumstellar port there, right?" KIKI was like a worm in Lin Xian's stomach, and added directly for him.
Lin Xian smiled and did not deny that he did think so.
Directly activating the Sky Train to fly low over the sea is a risky move. It is not clear what will be encountered. If it is too troublesome or an air battle is encountered, there will be a place to rest and adjust, so as not to fall into the sea and fall into a passive position.
Afterward, Lin Xian opened a passage from the roof of car No. 5 and descended onto the semi-submerged Infinity. He raised his hand toward the vast sea ahead, and with a resounding roar, a massive mechanical gate blasted open in the void beneath the clear sky. From the depths of the dark gate echoed the grinding of metallic structures, and countless arcs of electricity danced like thunder snakes. As the Phase Iris Ring blazed across Lin Xian's chest, the massive Sky Train tore through the spatial barrier and descended suddenly!
The hurricane howled, the waves surged, and the ship's hull, which was over four kilometers long, cast a shadow like a steel mountain range under the clear sky. The newly added arsenal section highlighted the ferocious weapon array, the triple-mounted orbital star turret rotated and calibrated, the muzzle of the plasma cannon began to show its prowess, and the honeycomb missile silos and 1130 close-in defense gun groups covered the top armor like thorns.
Strictly speaking, these weapons have not been fully manufactured yet. The electromagnetic rail guns, ultra-high temperature plasma guidance arrays, microwave protection arrays, etc. have not been built yet, including the ammunition recycling manufacturing plant that Lin Xian is preparing to build internally. Even if the subsequent kinetic weapons will be greatly reduced, there is still a lack of super-large extreme energy capacitors and dark energy isopotential devices to supply those energy weapons.
But none of this mattered at the moment. On that clear day, time was ticking by, and he had to get everyone on board quickly and reach their destination as soon as possible before dark.
Fortunately, Lin Xian had Viola and a large number of engineering and maintenance robots. Before the Infinity team members boarded the ship, these mechanical assistants had already flown onto the huge sky patrol train. Viola arrived at the bridge and began to access the main control system, becoming Lin Xian's overall control brain.
Soon, a group of people began to fly onto the deck of the sky patrol train. On the side of carriage No. 3, Ding Junyi led Xiaoyuan and Miaolu to take the research equipment and disaster plants onto the sky train. The only trouble was that the plants in carriage No. 4 could not be moved away immediately and had to be abandoned temporarily.
After everyone boarded the Sky Train, Lin Xian activated the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring to increase its own power, and then started the Black Star Forge with all his strength, and began to swallow the Infinity in the water.
This was an extremely energy-consuming action. Whether it was the Dreadnought-class, the Sky Train, or the ship, these large-scale mechanical creations consumed huge amounts of energy. Fortunately, Lin Xian was now full of energy, and had the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring to provide power. He was also in a safe environment, so he could safely bring his old friend into the Black Star Forge.
Crash.
A large amount of sea water fell from the sky, and as the mechanical door in the void slowly closed, a heavy armored train disappeared.
At this moment, there was only a super-giant flying train with a length of more than 4 kilometers quietly floating in the air hundreds of meters above the sea. The humming sound of the starry sky thruster was drowned out by the waves. Lin Xian came to the bridge and found that except for Ding Junyi who went to the science cabin, everyone gathered on the bridge, as if waiting for him.
At this time, under Viola's control, the Sky Train slowly turned in the air, and then began to accelerate forward. The huge air pressure raised huge waves on the sea below.
[Target cruising altitude: 2000 meters, cruising speed: subsonic.]
"Everyone of you should have an independent cabin, right? Why are you waiting for me to show you the way?" The Sky Train started off. Lin Xian looked at everyone and saw that they were all looking at him, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Not Captain Lin." Lu Chang looked at everyone, then at Lin Xian, and said with a smile: "We are waiting for your order."
"What orders?"
"Posts." Monica sat in the information officer's seat, crossed her legs, turned around and asked, "Should we all lie down and rest?"
"Also, next, should we move completely to this Sky Train, or return to the Infinity after reaching land?" Ning Jing also asked at this time.
Lin Xian looked at the sky outside through the porthole, then raised his hand to take out the lead box containing the dark gears and said in a deep voice.
"It's hard to say. Some forbidden objects seem like they can't be carried on one's person, like the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube. I'm just not sure what changes would occur if I installed this thing on the Infinity or the Sky Dome..."
"Xingyuan is walking?"
