From ship girl to machine god

"Jue? I didn't expect this old boy Saburo to actually carry this thing with him!" Qingniao picked up the immortal katana in the game, took a look at it and put it away. This can be kept anyway. A commemoration.

After putting away Arasaka Saburo's sword, Ao Bird summoned his ship suit and prepared to take off to deal with the White Whale.

But before leaving, she took a look at the floating car in front of her, and fired a shot at it, blowing it up. The fire caused billowing smoke, and it suddenly became conspicuous.

"Now someone should have discovered the problem soon and come to rescue Arasaka Yorinobu, right?" Qingniao thought that his move was measured. Although it looked miserable, with Arasaka Yorinobu's physical fitness, he would not be able to persist for more than an hour. His life was in danger, but to be on the safe side it was better to make a big noise as soon as possible so that someone could come to save him.

After doing all this, Blue Bird nodded with satisfaction, lit up his engine, ejected directly, pulled out a sonic boom in the air, and flew towards the Arasaka Beach.

Chapter 172 Arasaka Super Aircraft Carrier

As an important property of the Arasaka Group in Night City, Arasaka Beach itself integrates warehousing, production, transportation, as well as aerospace and shipping functions. It can be used as a port for super aircraft carriers to dock and supply, and can also be used to launch materials into space or even the moon. spaceport.

When Qingniao flew over from the Kanbi Building, she happened to see a spaceship bound for the moon just launched into space. The huge smoke generated by the launch of the spacecraft just blocked her falling figure from the sky.

"It kind of affects the line of sight... but it's also a good opportunity!" Blue Bird laughed, unfolded all the missile launch nests on his body, and fired a salvo of missiles at the Beluga below.

The two Long Arrow ship-based missile launch arrays behind the Blue Bird are not 6X6 chocolates installed on the ship body, but just two 2X2 simplified version launch boxes.

Therefore, this round of missile salvo fired by Blue Bird is not a death barrage of 72 anti-ship missiles, but a brilliant fireworks with eight hearts and eight arrows.

But even so, it is still very simple for eight anti-ship missiles to hit an unsuspecting aircraft carrier docked in the port.

Of course, the Beluga immediately noticed the eight missiles that broke through the smoke, but at this time, because the Beluga was anchored in the port, everything from the crew to the equipment was in a state of repair after the voyage.

Just like Arizona, who faced the Japanese bombers during the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and didn't even have time to heat up the engine main engine, there was no time to react.

Even though this is a nuclear-powered super aircraft carrier, the flight deck alone has three levels and a total of five decks, which is comparable to the take-off and landing capabilities of five aircraft carriers in the old era.

Such a terrifying war machine, even with just one ship, is enough to rival an entire US aircraft carrier fleet in the past.

However, the Beluga super aircraft carrier, which was completely without alert and preparedness, was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered when faced with the eight incoming anti-ship missiles. It could only watch the eight missiles accurately hit its huge hull. , not even the slightest resistance.

Originally, for a giant ship like the Beluga, it had complete protection capabilities.

Not to mention the defense network formed by the escort ships of the aircraft carrier formation, the aircraft carrier's own escort aircraft, air defense radar and close-in firepower network are enough to effectively intercept incoming missiles.

However, all the carrier-based aircraft of the moored Beluga are either parked in the hangar for maintenance or basking in the sun on the deck. None of them have taken off to perform escort missions.

Even the pilots seemed to have gotten a rare holiday, leaving only a few unlucky ones who needed to be on duty, while the others were ready to go to the Night City to enjoy themselves.

As for the radar and air defense fire network, they have entered a standby mode, turning off most of the equipment and functions, waiting for maintenance.

As a result, the super aircraft carrier that was supposed to be indestructible was now a huge living target. He could only watch himself being beaten, unable to even dodge.

The eight anti-ship missiles did not miss a single one. They all accurately hit the Beluga. They directly tore off the decks of her three flight runways and opened two large holes on the side of the ship. It can be said that the results were quite good. amazing.

But this cannot sink this behemoth, which is at least more than 700 meters long, which is equivalent to at least twice the length of the aircraft carrier that Jade Bird has ever seen.

Contrary to what most people believe, modern aircraft carriers after the Cold War are not just dumplings with thin skin and large fillings even if they lose carrier-based aircraft.

Because it is necessary to consider the defense issues against anti-ship missile attacks, modern aircraft carriers themselves have extremely strong protection capabilities. Even if they are hit by anti-ship missiles, they will not sink easily.

Coupled with a good damage control team, it is not easy for an aircraft carrier to be sunk.

Of course, no matter how good the aircraft carrier is, if it is really hit hard by a hypersonic anti-ship missile, it will be destroyed without sinking.

As for a behemoth like the Beluga, although the eight anti-ship missiles gave it a hard blow, they did not break it or sink it. Its current state is at best a medium break.

And as the attack occurred, the crew on the super aircraft carrier also responded quickly. The pilot hurriedly ran to the flight runway that was still intact, jumped on the plane that could still take off, and prepared to take off. All radars and defensive weapons also On emergency start.

There was water spraying out from behind the huge hull. It was obvious that the huge ship was making an emergency exit from the port and performing evasive maneuvers.

In such a situation where a warship encounters a sudden attack in the port, the most correct thing to do is to immediately pull up the anchor and leave the port, so that there is enough space for tactical maneuvers, instead of staying in the port and being bombed.

Looking at the huge super aircraft carrier at his feet, Qingniao did not immediately launch the second batch of anti-ship missiles that had been loaded. Instead, he broke through the smoke and headed towards the giant ship while firing continuously with his machine guns. The crowd on the deck and the aircraft preparing to take off used powerful electronic jamming capabilities to attack various equipment of the Beluga.

Under the high-speed raid of the Blue Bird, not a single aircraft on the deck successfully took off. Instead, many deck personnel and pilots were killed by the Blue Bird.

However, even when Blue Bird intentionally released water and even did not use anti-aircraft missiles, the nuclear-powered super aircraft carrier still completed its emergency departure in a very short period of time and headed towards the sea outside Night City.

At this time, several fighter jets finally took off and landed vertically from this giant aircraft carrier, flying with all their strength, and rushed towards the Blue Bird.

This kind of close-range dog fight is of course no problem for the Blue Bird, but for several fighter jets, it is a bit too much.

After all, they are flying supersonic carrier-based fighter jets. Only propeller aircraft can engage in close-range aerial dogfights. This kind of thing was not considered at the beginning of the design of these fighter jets.

Not only was the performance completely unable to keep up with the Blue Bird, but when the ship girl turned on the full-power electronic jamming, the various radars and electronic equipment on these fighters were basically in a paralyzed state.

After all, they have space battleship-level electronic jamming capabilities. Even if these fighters have electronic countermeasures capabilities, they cannot fight against this guy who is completely different from his position.

Arasaka's pilots were almost using the most primitive visual locking method to attack the blue bird.

And this is really not enough for a flying space battleship girl.

The Blue Bird didn't even launch its own drone. It just used a few super maneuvers with full G value, which almost blew up these fighter jets. One of them directly hit the flight deck of the Beluga. Not only did it lose one of its drones, but it also The flight runway used even hit another fighter jet on the deck that was about to take off into a ball of fire.

However, under the near-death struggle of these fighter jets, the Beluga finally drove out of the port against the attack of the Blue Bird and increased its speed.

Chapter 173 Sinking the Beluga

Can the Blue Bird sink the Moby Dick?The answer is of course yes.

At worst, it can destroy its propulsion system before it can move, rendering it completely unable to move and turning it into a living target.

But Jade Bird deliberately released the water, allowing the super aircraft carrier to leave the port, sail to the sea outside Night City, and begin tactical maneuvers.

And this also plays into Blue Bird's hands.

Although there is no problem in sinking this ship in the port, the water depth in the port cannot completely submerge such a large sunken ship. Even if it can be submerged, it will not be troublesome to salvage it.

However, this is not so good for Blue Bird, because she wants to use her mental core to melt the ship, swallow it and use it to strengthen and upgrade herself.

Therefore, Jade Bird needs to drive it to the outer sea, sink it in a place where the water depth is not so easy to salvage, and then he can safely swallow it, integrate it into the core of his mind, and then improve his body at once.

You must know that this is a super aircraft carrier that is at least 700 to 20 meters long, and its tonnage is at least [-] tons. If it can be swallowed, the Blue Bird can at least upgrade itself to the level of a formal aircraft carrier or battleship, and its combat effectiveness Get a qualitative leap.

Therefore, when the White Whale sailed to the sea off Arasaka, not only did it not become safer, but it became more dangerous.

In other words, the blue bird is no longer prepared to act, but is going to sink it in one fell swoop.

"The giant ship-borne plasma projector is deployed, the target is locked, and the energy is filled." Blue Bird flew high into the sky, and after sheathing the huge hull of the Beluga into her target, a huge plasma cannon fired from her shoulder. She unfolded her body and then flipped it to her front, with the huge muzzle pointed at the locked Beluga below.

This is a new module that was only turned on after the Bluebird was upgraded to a destroyer. It has the firing power of a battleship-class main gun. However, because the hull of the Bluebird is still a destroyer, she must use the absolute power output from the hull reactor when firing. Most of the energy is filled into the barrel of the cannon to meet the requirements for firing this giant cannon.

Seeing this, the Arasaka pilot on the Beluga did not miss this rare opportunity and hurriedly took off several fighter jets from the flight deck that could still be used. At this time, the anti-aircraft weapons on the Beluga finally resumed operation. He finally began to play his role and launched a less intensive attack on the blue bird.

The electromagnetic shield on Blue Bird's body was deployed. Although most of the energy was filled into the barrel of the giant cannon in his hand, the electromagnetic shield was still able to operate and protect Blue Bird from harm.

And the charging of the giant cannon does not mean that she cannot move. The powerful computing power of the shipboard quantum calculator has exerted its due performance, constantly calculating the flight trajectory so that the blue bird can avoid attacks while still firmly Point the muzzle of the gun down at the Moby Dick.

Not only that, all the drones carried by Blue Bird were also released, and they were fighting with the fighter jets rushing towards her.

Although in theory, the combat effectiveness of manned fighter jets is higher than that of drones, the fighter jets taking off from the Beluga do not have an advantage.

On the one hand, their flying height is not high enough. The Blue Bird can fly close to the sea and maintain the flying altitude below 1000 meters. However, these fighter jets were not designed to engage in such ultra-low-altitude combat.

Not to mention that the drones used by Blue Bird are aerospace fighters used in outer space in the Nantianmen Project, and their combat performance is inherently more powerful than these Arasaka fighters.

Before, it was just that Blue Bird was deliberately releasing the water to force the White Whale to the open sea, so it did not use all its strength.

Now that they are ready to sink the ship, there is no need to continue to restrain themselves. All the drones have exploded with their due combat power at this moment, and they shot down all Arasaka's fighter jets in just a few rounds.

These drones even launched the missiles they carried and bombed the Beluga indiscriminately, further reducing the super aircraft carrier's ability to resist.

If it weren't for Jade Bird's plan to fuse this ship and keep it as intact as possible, the missiles carried on the attack drones would have been replaced with nuclear warheads, leaving this super-aircraft carrier that doesn't even have an escort fleet to bask in the sun.

But even so, as the drone swarm attack unfolded, the Beluga quickly lost its ability to resist.

The anti-aircraft weapons installed on the hull are like paper in front of the drone group. After all, this thing has not considered the possibility of being attached to the aircraft carrier and fighting within 500 meters.

So they were quickly cleared by missiles and rockets launched by drones. Even the deck of the Beluga was completely destroyed, and the elevator was directly blown into a hole, completely paralyzing the super aircraft carrier. fighter delivery capabilities.

At this time, the giant cannon in Blue Bird's hand finally completed charging.

"Let's see what it looks like when a star falls!" Blue Bird looked at the Beluga that was firmly locked by the crosshairs, and pulled the trigger.

A bright blue beam of light shot out from the muzzle, and a raging torrent of energy surged out like a wave, and instantly hit the deck of the Beluga unstoppably.

In an instant, the ship, the symbol of the Arasaka Group's strongest force, was split apart by the white light along with the sea beneath it.

For a moment, there was only dazzling white light in the entire sky, and a pair of orange protective goggles fell in front of Qingniao's eyes to block her from the dazzling glare.

On the sea, even a super aircraft carrier made of high-performance shipbuilding steel could not withstand the bombardment of this battleship-level ion cannon designed for space combat. It only resisted for less than a second before being eroded through the deck. and the hull of the ship, allowing this raging torrent of energy to pour into the sea from the bottom of the ship.

Even the ocean cannot carry such terrifying energy. Seawater within a radius of nearly a hundred meters has been boiled. The evaporation of a huge amount of seawater on the bottom of the Beluga has produced enough energy to turn the ship weighing hundreds of thousands of tons. The steam that overturned the battleships created a huge white bulge on the sea, as if something huge was about to rise from the water.

The bombardment lasted for several seconds. When the huge light beam that seemed to have created the world dissipated, what appeared in front of the Blue Bird was a huge hole that penetrated the hull of the Beluga. It was like a volcanic eruption of white steam and gray-black smoke. It poured out from inside the hull, forming a huge column of smoke in the sky.

The steam generated by the evaporation of seawater at the bottom of the hull finally pushed up the sea surface, knocking the entire Beluga over like an explosion. Then the Arasaka Group's super ship was shot diagonally on the sea surface, and the hull of the ship was tilted. One side was inserted directly into the sea, and the entire bottom of the ship was exposed.

Chapter 174 A big drama stirs up the storm

In the City of Night, while Blue Bird was fighting the White Whale, the backhand she had arranged was immediately launched.

The news of Saburo Arasaka's death spread throughout Night City almost instantly, and then spread to the whole world.

Although Saburo Arasaka, an old man, is not a positive figure, it is undeniable that he has lived for more than 170 years and has a huge influence in this world. It is not an exaggeration to call him a living legend or myth.

The death of Saburo Arasaka is undoubtedly a major event that can affect or even shake the entire world.

You must know that even in the fourth corporate war half a century ago, the war between Arasaka Group and Military Technology almost collapsed the entire North America. Military Technology was directly liquidated and nationalized by the US federal government after the incident, and it almost came to an end. .

Although the Arasaka Group, with the cooperation of Arasaka Yorinobu, the biggest traitor, was also nationalized by the Japanese government, a large number of industries were nationalized, which indirectly led to the Arasaka Group's defeat in the Fourth Corporate War, but because Arasaka Saburo was still there, The Arasaka Group held on to its base camp and was not completely finished.

It is precisely because the Arasaka Group withstood the Japanese government's nationalization of the company's assets that giant companies around the world also withstood the pressure of governments around the world and re-emerged in the next half century, and in a real sense. Controlled and ruled the world.

It can be said that for the Arasaka Group and even the giant companies around the world, Saburo Arasaka can be called a steadfast needle. With him, he can suppress all spying on the Arasaka Group and all giant companies.

After all, as long as Saburo Arasaka does not die, Arasaka Company will not fall, and Arasaka will not fall, then the world will always be ruled by the company.

This is why Saburo Arasaka told Yorinobu Arasaka that his attempt to hand over the Relic chip to the network supervisor was ruining their future.

From the perspective of the Arasaka Group, as long as Saburo Arasaka gains immortality, the Arasaka Group will be able to control everything and recreate Japan's arrogant ambition to conquer the world in the past.

But now, Saburo Arasaka, who suppressed everything in the Arasaka Group, is dead. His chance of resurrection has been completely eliminated by various measures arranged by Aotori in advance. In addition, Yorinobu Arasaka will control the entire Arasaka Group, so there is no hope of his resurrection.

For the world, the biggest obstacle to overthrowing corporate rule and setting people free has disappeared.

What awaits people is a future with hope again.

But right now, in order to seize this glimmer of hope and turn a single spark into a prairie fire, there are still some things that need to be done.
