St. Mary, Gambia.
Banjul Port, a piece of wasteland near the sea in the north.
At this moment, there are more than five hundred fully armed bodyguards, holding weapons in their hands, standing every few meters, forming a line of defense and prohibiting anyone from entering.
A piece of vacant land of more than 500 acres was vacated.
A large amount of white lime was used to draw a huge "X" on the flat ground in the center of the open space, which was nearly 100 meters long.
And this "cross" is exactly the "coordinate" that Levi had someone send.
"Bowen, is this landing area enough? Do we need to move back a bit later?"
Levi said, standing on a small mound.
You should know that even the lowest-level and least noticeable "Scare-class transport ship" in the Death Fleet is 550 meters long, and about 80 meters wide and high. If parked on the ground, it will occupy 44,000 square meters of land.
Equivalent to 6.16 standard football fields.
It is equivalent to an area of 60 mu.
Nearly one-eighth of the 500 acres of wasteland that Levi bought can be occupied.
However, considering that when the spacecraft lands, in order to support the mass of millions of tons, the auxiliary engine at the bottom will eject extremely huge energy, the generated strong wind and noise will be enough to block the sky and cause flying sand and rocks within a radius of two kilometers, and even put lives in danger.
"Your Majesty, we are now about 1 kilometer away from the coordinates. It's not very safe. Wait until the spaceship arrives. We will retreat 100 meters and enter the bunker that has been dug. Put on noise-canceling headphones and we will be out in a few minutes."
"Furthermore, the cross mark we drew is very close to the sea. More than half of the energy released by the spacecraft can be absorbed by the seawater. The remaining energy will dissipate a kilometer away, and the power will be within a tolerable range."
"Can we handle those native bodyguards? They are a little too close." Levi asked again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. As soon as the Dreadnought Bank appears, I will immediately order the bodyguards to evacuate. Have them run as quickly as possible to a safe spot three hundred meters away... The ship's landing will take at least three minutes, which is enough time for the bodyguards to reach a safe spot."
Levi then nodded.
Butler Bowen had considered everything very carefully. After all, most of these native bodyguards were brought by him from the Xia Kingdom. They were very disciplined and had very high combat effectiveness. They were also hardworking and obedient.
And it doesn't mean that after the arrival of the transport ship "Dreadnought Bank", these indigenous bodyguards will become useless and lose their value, and then be left to die in the landing storm of the spacecraft, being blown to death by high-energy winds, killed by noise, or burned by wake vortexes... Levi is not that cold-hearted.
Moreover, it was just a transport ship with insufficient self-protection capabilities and an antimatter propulsion engine, which could not achieve superluminal flight. Its arrival would not be of much use, and it could not take him back to the Dark Empire.
He may have to stay in this star system for a long enough time, and rely on the abilities of the natives to improve technology and build a new fleet.
"I hope this isn't just a lone ship. I hope the entire Death Fleet is behind it. I hope the news I'm about to hear is great news."
Levi said while praying in his heart.
But after experiencing many setbacks over the years, he no longer dared to have too high hopes, was too optimistic, or cut off his retreat, only to find that there was no way forward.
Be careful, cautious, and proceed steadily.
This is what Levi is thinking at the moment.
…
Whoosh whoosh~
A low gong sound came from the horizon.
And gradually increase.
Turn your head and look towards the northeast.
A small black dot was flying at a speed faster than the speed of sound. The shock waves and noise generated by the friction with the air could be heard within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
As the altitude continued to decrease, the surface was covered by a layer of light red heat energy shield.
The black spot is getting bigger and bigger.
The noise was getting louder.
“Here they are! They are here!”
Butler Bowen said excitedly, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand and said: "Evacuate, bodyguards, evacuate to a safe place quickly!"
Levi also retreated a hundred meters, put on noise-canceling headphones, and entered a circular bunker more than two meters deep.
…
The next two or three minutes.
Many Gambians in St. Mary's saw a scene they would never forget.
A huge ship descended from the sky, covering a large area of the sky like a dark cloud.
"Boom boom boom~"
The huge noise was deafening, making people cover their ears desperately and squat in the corner in pain.
We don't even know how many chickens, dogs, cows, and sheep were injured or killed by the noise, or had their cages and nests blown up, and then were left lying on the ground foaming at the mouth.
On the coast north of Banjul Port, the sea surface was impacted by high-energy air currents to create a bowl-shaped giant with a diameter of more than two kilometers.
The waves suddenly rose five meters and hit the coast like a tsunami.
And as the height of the huge black shadow continued to decrease.
Under the impact of powerful energy, hundreds of meters high water splashes and water columns, as well as rising sea mist, made the entire sea surface look like the sea god casting a spell, turning it into a real special effects scene.
earthquake.
Minor earthquake.
Then the tremors became noticeably stronger, making it difficult to stand steadily.
Many brittle surfaces have some tiny cracks.
“Pah! Pah!”
The glass in residents' homes was shattered, and several street lamp bulbs on the road were also blown out. Screams of panic were heard everywhere.
…
A few minutes later.
