Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

The small celebration ceremony to welcome Outcast from hospital was attended by all the old faces from Rhode Island. Except for Kelsey, who had been very busy these two days with a group of patients with ore disease. Apart from her and the engineering department who had something to shirk, almost everyone All Rhode Island elite operators who were still on the ship came to the scene.When we first learned about the accident in Xiaoqiu County, everyone was extremely worried about Outcast's safety. Compared with the separation between life and death, losing Sakota's aura and empathy was no longer a price to pay.

"If you follow the rules of the church, I should salute you now." The old lady outcast held Alpha's hand with a smile and gave Alpha a warm hug.

"I am the one who should say thank you. It is my honor to gain your trust." After the warm embrace, Alpha held her hand. Her right hand, which was used to holding weapons, had been transformed into The structure of half structure and half creature, together with the light wings on her back that turned into iron wings, was a transformation that Alpha herself had not imagined.

"Are you able to adapt to the physical changes?" Alpha wanted to say that if outcast felt uncomfortable, she could try to roll back the changes.

But the old lady ended the topic with a gentle shake of her head, "I think it's pretty good, and they can always remind me of what I'm fighting for."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Outcast chose to pull out Alpha's gun because the evildoers were not finished yet and the innocent people were still in danger. She used this to avoid the punishment of the law and indeed brought more people out of Xiaoqiu County. Rescued out.Even though the purple flames that filled the entire Hill Country were trembling under the bullets she fired, the leaders of Shenchi chose to avoid the edge temporarily.

After Alpha and Outcast had a brief chat, several elite operators fired the fireworks. Outcast was safe and discharged from the hospital smoothly. Everyone was very happy.After that, Warfarin took the lead in cutting a cake. Originally, the cake was supposed to be eaten, but I don’t know who started it. This group of elite operators were like a group of immature children, and they started to fight with the cake. Up, only Alpha and Outcast, who stood at the center of the storm, were spared.The worst part of the whole scene was the logo. Scout and Misery almost stuck the cake into the collar of his expensive robe.

After a short celebration, everyone has to return to their work. They have not yet received an outcast for the next phase of the mission, and hope to accompany Alpha for a walk.Alpha readily agreed to her idea, so the two strolled toward the deck where the engineering department was located.

Arriving at the engineering deck and at the engineering department's testing site, the two of them knew what the guys in the engineering department were doing.

At one end of the test site, on the shooting range that was opened during the last test, several engineering department operators wearing protective suits were firing guns. It looked like they were testing some weapons.

Lucille spent more than a month humbly getting the earth weapon samples recovered from the ruins of Sargon's Magnetic Mountain Laboratory from Alpha, and then led the engineering department to conduct some research. .To compare with the electromagnetic weapons they are imitating.

As for the results of the comparative study, it is enough to see the results if you look at the recent large-scale replacement of sniper operators in the Rhode Island Defense Department with a lever-type electromagnetic gun and matching battery packs.

On the other side of the test site, Lucille and a helmeted Elafia were dismantling and studying a Predator drone.

"Lucille, mechanic, what are you doing?" Outcast leaned over to see what was going on.

Hearing the voice of an old friend, Lucille and the mechanic turned around together, "We are researching and studying a work of art." Then they saw Alpha following behind, and quickly called Alpha over, and the mechanic snapped. Placing a notebook full of writing on the greasy workbench, Alpha could almost feel the look of anticipation flashing under his helmet.

"This aircraft is simply a technological miracle. So many complex systems are exquisitely integrated into the aircraft body without interfering with or affecting each other. It can complete extremely complex tasks..." The mechanic said a lot at once , but for this drone, he is most moved by two points. One is the control chip of the drone, and the other is the two small turbine engines on the Predator drone. "Seriously, , I have never thought that such complex calculations can be completed without relying on Originium technology at all, just relying on some small silicon wafers. And that turbine engine, an industrial product can be so precise, like a handicraft. …”

"Alfa, as before, Keluciel and I have saved up many questions to ask, if you have time."

"Of course, I have plenty of time now." After looking at the timetable, Tallulah's representative arrived in the afternoon, so I do have plenty of time.

136.Epilogue-Aircraft and Sanatorium part.1

In the past two days, several newly produced low-Earth aircraft put into use in Rhode Island have carried out the first batch of long-distance navigation missions.

There are two models of these aircraft, two of which are tilt-rotor vertical takeoff and landing transport aircraft built according to the model of the Bad Guy. Alpha went as far as possible to restore the original design of the Bad Guy from the ancestors, and then used the current Roman Tokushima's engineering department can replace it with maintainable technology, which has improved navigation stability, reliability and maximum range to varying degrees.

There is also a four-engine electric propeller fixed-wing transport aircraft designed after the C130 configuration. Alpha uses a set of micro-reactor arrays modified with automatic power armor energy cores to power the aircraft. When fully loaded with fuel, its range is enough to cover the entire Thailand. Pull the continent.And its powerful engine allows it to take off from the flight deck of the USS Rhode Island even when fully loaded.

This was the first aircraft to fully utilize the Rhode Island flight deck.If mass production and commercial flights are to be carried out in the future, the aircraft can be modified to be powered by high-energy batteries.

Unfortunately, there are currently only two places where landings can be made, namely Siesta and Chernobog Core City, which have already built runways.This can be said to be a problem that fixed-wing aircraft have to face on the continent of Terra. Most places lack relevant infrastructure support facilities. It can currently only be used to fly fixed-wing aircraft in the three places of Rhodes Island, Siesta and Longmen. route.Although this aircraft inherits the C130's extremely low requirements for stations and can take off and land on simple runways, the simple runway itself is a difficult problem.

Fortunately, its ample range, its cargo weight of up to 35 tons, its higher level flight speed, and other comprehensive factors far exceed all existing low-Earth aircraft, making its cost of use still affordable compared to the role it can play. Within the acceptable range.

……

"Are you the doctor that the operators often mentioned?" In the hangar of Rhodes Island, next to the large transport aircraft Pioneer, he was holding a suitcase and looking at the joy of this large aircraft, which was unprecedented in Terra. Traya met the mysterious hooded man.

The doctor nodded, "Well, you are Miss Xintrea."

"I didn't expect the doctor to remember my name."

"I will try my best to remember the names of everyone on Rhodes Island." The doctor smiled, "I remember Miss Xintlaya, you should have gone to Siesta to recuperate."

"Yes." Xintrea nodded. "In view of my physical and mental condition, the medical department staff recommended that I go to Siesta to recuperate for two weeks." She shrugged, and after coming to Rhodes Island for asylum and applying to join After Rhode Island, she had been shocked many times, but this time, when she saw the doctor and the unheard-of large aircraft, she was shocked twice in succession.

"Take this." The doctor took out a small bag and handed it to her.

Xintera took the small bag and found that it contained a soundproof earmuff and an eye mask.

"The Pioneer is a cargo transport aircraft. The environment in the temporarily separated passenger cabin is not very good. Let's make do with it."

"Oh, okay, thanks."

The Pioneer uses an all-electric architecture. Although the noise is much smaller than its original ancestor, it is still not of the specifications of a commercial aircraft. The temporary seats are very hard, and the cabin separated from the cargo bay is not soundproof. But the riding experience is much better than a tilt-rotor aircraft with side-opening sliding doors.

With an anxious mood, I boarded the plane with several other Rhode Island operators and doctors. The journey from Casimir to Siesta by land craft may take more than half a month, but it only takes a few days by plane. Hours.This was a quite novel experience. Xinteleia, who happened to be seated by the window, leaned curiously against the small porthole, wanting to have a glimpse of this magical journey.

The doctor did not sit next to her. There were many seats in this small cabin, but there were not many passengers this time, and most of the seats were empty. The doctor sat alone in the next row, holding documents and folders. Looking through something, it turns out that the other passengers are general Rhode Island operators who are going to Siesta to participate in foreign missions.

After everyone was seated, a red-haired lady wearing sunglasses walked from the cockpit to the cabin. She knocked on the cabin wall to remind everyone to pay attention to what she was about to say, "Everyone, I am the captain of this flight, Ashes. I have to remind you that the four engines of this little girl are very powerful. During the takeoff and climb phase, you will feel greater acceleration and some bumps. Please fasten your seat belts and do not eat during this time. Things. Everyone has a bag at hand. If you want to vomit, please vomit into the bag, otherwise you have to clean up after you get there."

……

Returning to the cockpit, Hui Jin sat back in the captain's seat, and after a series of operations, he was ready to take off.

"Ms. Ashes, have you ever flown this kind of aircraft before?" Dylan, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, rubbed his hands nervously.

Ashes nodded. As special service personnel who have received strict training, everyone in the Rainbow Team has naturally received driving training for most vehicles in the world, ranging from bicycles to civil aviation airliners, although it is not to mention how rich it is. There is no driving experience, but theoretical knowledge and at least a hundred hours of flight training are required.

Because of this, Alpha invited them to serve as pilots. After conducting various highly realistic drills to deal with emergencies in the sea of ​​consciousness, they can be said to be qualified pilots.Dylan was the pilot of the Bad Guy from the beginning. With his flying experience, he was among the first batch of pilots in Rhode Island that Kelsey decided to train. Although he had not yet conducted all-subject simulation training on the Pioneer model, But at least he's not a complete novice.

……

The aircraft's engine hummed quietly. Through the porthole, Xinteleiya saw this huge, seemingly heavy aircraft moving. It passed through the large space of the hangar and slid in at a not too fast speed. arrived at the Rhode Island runway and came to one end of the runway.Then, after waiting for a moment, as if it had received the starting gun, the plane began to accelerate towards the other end, and after passing a certain distance, it rose from the ground.

During the whole process, Xinteleia stared blankly, not daring to breathe. She couldn't believe that such a huge metal structure could be carried up by four small-looking fans. Sky, soaring freely in the sky.

"Our current flight altitude is 400 meters, flying south at a speed of 650 kilometers per hour. In the last part of the journey, we will also pass by Siesta Lake and Siesta Volcano." The doctor didn't know when to take the seat. When he arrived in the same row as him, he probably saw the somewhat panicked expression on his face just now.

"Can't we fly higher?"

"To be on the safe side, no." The doctor smiled mysteriously. In fact, the maximum ceiling of the aircraft itself is 6000 meters. In the early test flights, this aircraft without any Originium technology structure also flew smoothly. An altitude of [-] meters, but there were only two people on the plane, Alpha and Ashes. So far, no natives of Terra have tested whether they can withstand an altitude of more than [-] meters. Will the severe attenuation of environmental source stone particles and micro energy fields cause danger? question.

Alpha believes that this impact is not significant, but before volunteers are tested, this behavior is still marked as dangerous behavior in the manual. The onboard equipment will detect the height of the attenuation layer and automatically limit the height to ensure the safety of passengers. .

In the blink of an eye, the Pioneer had climbed to the cruising altitude. The original feeling of acceleration and pushing back gradually disappeared, and relative calm returned to the cabin.Xintrea was still lying on the porthole, looking curiously at the land below. The originally magnificent knight's collar, when viewed from the sky, was flat like iron-gray pancakes spread out on the ground, like the earth. There are a few dark patches on this broad piece of fabric, and only the high-rise buildings reflect the bright morning sunshine, and the scattered reflections outline the outline of this modern city.

Xintrea knew that the job she had gained was worth it.

137. Bright Sun and Morning Dew - Aircraft and Sanatorium part.2

The doctor was right. After the novelty of the first flight faded away, the rest of the journey became quite boring amid the continuous sound of mechanical atmosphere.Fortunately, the temporarily installed seat still had armrests and headrests. Xintlay followed the doctor's example, put on an eye mask and headphones and fell asleep.

The sound of the plane landing on the expanded runway of the Siesta Airport shook Hintera from her dazed sleep. She looked out through the porthole again. The scene here was no longer the one around the Great Knight. Instead of green hills and mountains, there is an endless stretch of yellow sand and sparkling coastal beaches.

The trip that I have dreamed of for many years has really come true before my eyes. The coast, a concept that only exists in a few movies and literary works, is truly displayed in front of me this time.Even though he knew that this was an inland lake rather than a real ocean, the vast deep blue still deeply shocked Platinum's soul.

Changing jobs to Rhode Island is really the right decision. Although this trip is actually paid for by myself, it is only because Rhode Island has the conditions and capabilities that I can come to this place that I never dared to think about before. ideal tourist destination.

The plane quickly stopped on the tarmac, but this time, there was no boarding ladder on the Rhode Island side. Everyone had to wait for the rear cargo compartment to be unloaded, and then they all left the plane using the beavertail springboard in the rear compartment.

"Doctor, why are you here?" Xintrea was a little curious, saying that the doctor was so busy in Rhodes Island every day, how could he find time to come here and be sent out?

The doctor smiled and said, "There are some tasks here that I need to confirm and hand over. After all, they are some projects contracted by the Rhode Island office. As the person in charge, I have to come over and take a look. Then by the way, I will escort a batch to be sent here. The supplies came together."

"Rhode Island has investment in Siesta?"

"That's right." The doctor nodded roughly. Rhode Island's current relationship with Alpha was quite complicated, and he couldn't explain it to this little platinum for a while.

Rhode Island's largest project in Siesta is actually not directly related to the volcano reconstruction project. A poorly managed beachfront hotel was taken over by Alpha. In the past few months, she arranged to stay here. ACE appointed special personnel to transform the place into a sanatorium, and then transferred it to Rhode Island.It can now host long-term treatment and rehabilitation services for patients with oriopathy, as well as, in the future, provide rest and recuperation services for construction workers on the volcano reconstruction project, as well as Rhode Island employees.

Xintrea was one of the first Rhode Island operators to enjoy the recuperation services here. Besides her, the other person who came here for recuperation was a Rhode Island elite operator whom she had never met before. A short, mysterious-looking Caprini.

After getting off the plane, several commercial vehicles carried the passengers on the plane to different places. The direction the doctor's car left seemed to be the center of Siesta. The vehicle Xinteleiya was riding in entered a nearby building. Building complex, this is the sanatorium.

"Girl, I remember your code name is Platinum, right." The dull-looking Caprini found Hintera.

"Well, what do you call me, senior?"

"Just call me Chuchen. When I come here this time, I have to help with the inspection of this sanatorium, so I want to ask you a favor."

"Please speak."

"When you accompany me around this facility in the past two days and experience various recuperation projects, just tell me your experience evaluation. This will be good. These matters will be calculated as your overtime wages."

She didn't feel sleepy after hearing about the platinum money. She could get paid vacations and get overtime pay. If she hadn't known that Rhode Island also had messy businesses like security contracting in addition to medical services, she would have suspected that Rhode Island was doing charity. Yes.

During dinner in the evening, Xintrea met the doctor again. This time, the doctor did not wear his hooded suit, but put on a very relaxed beach suit, which was just long pants and long sleeves. His skin There seemed to be some kind of sunscreen applied on his face, making him appear darker than before.

"Doctor, I heard that this is not your first time coming to Siesta." Xintrea didn't see any other acquaintances here. She was still very unfamiliar with this city and decided to chat with the doctor and ask.

The doctor who was holding the burrito nodded. Seeing that Xintrea had something to say, he sat down at the same table with a dinner plate, "Well, I stayed here for a while before."

"Do you have any suggestions, doctor, about travel?"

The doctor thought for a while. The last time he came to Siesta, his deepest impression was the Obsidian Music Festival and the beach. "The Music Festival in Siesta is very famous. Every year it hosts big names. Even if it is not during the festival, you can find related entertainment facilities everywhere in the city. But this is only part of the local characteristics of Siesta. Here The sea view is very good, the morning sun and sunset are both beautiful. If you have the ability, it is also a good choice to go diving in the phosphorescent coral forest. That coral forest was discovered by Alpha and the others last time."

"The rising sun on the seaside..." Xinteleia tried to imagine that scene in her mind, but her little understanding of the vast waters and the numbness accumulated over the years in Casimir made it impossible for her to imagine that scene for a while. .

"The sanatorium has a great beach. It feels great to watch the sunrise on the beach and have a cup of sea salt coffee."

Xintrea nodded. She suddenly became curious and longed for this scene. The sunrise on the sea must be different from the sunrise led by the great knight. "Doctor, are you free tomorrow morning? Do you want to watch the sunrise together?" She suddenly blurted out this sentence while lost in thought.

As soon as she said this, Xintrea blushed. Although she had heard about the doctor before, this was the first time the two had actually met. For some reason, she actually invited him on a date. …

The doctor was dealing with the dinner on the plate at this time. His thoughts were blocked by the delicious food and he answered without much thinking, "Okay."

"Eh--!" Hinterlea ran away with steam coming from her head, leaving the doctor, who had not yet realized the situation, sitting in confusion with half a stick of charcoal in his hand. Crab legs.

……

After returning to her room, Xintrea threw herself on the bed and buried her red face into the soft pillow. She was wondering what to do. She was not familiar with the doctor. She was just imagining the sunrise on the seaside. At that time, I subconsciously felt that the doctor was very safe, and subconsciously regarded him as a familiar and reliable friend. However, he actually agreed to my invitation. He agreed!

What should I do? Should I go?do you want to go?Or just let the pigeons go?

"Hate, hate! Xintrea, what on earth are you doing!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the room. When I opened the door, it turned out to be Ms. Touchhen, "Senior, what can I do for you?"

"Let me investigate what you think of the room," she said in a very business-like manner, holding a ledger and recording Bai Jin's evaluation in detail.

"By the way, Platinum." After stopping writing, the petite Caprini raised his head and looked into Xinteleiya's eyes, "This is your first time coming to the beach. I heard Amiya say that at the beach When playing, it’s best to prepare a set of swimsuits. Do you want to go shopping together and buy one?”

"Uh, okay..." Bai Jin confusedly agreed to Chu Hen's invitation. She didn't expect that this serious-looking elite of the medical department was actually extraordinarily human under his cold appearance.

……

"Oh, this suit suits you very well." In a famous swimsuit store in Siesta, Sister Chuhenjing selected a swimsuit for Xinteliya that suits her very well.

"This, this, isn't it too frivolous..."

"Then, what do you think about adding a tulle shawl?" This master of magic and medicine was actually helping Xintrea choose a swimsuit very seriously.

Xinteleia finally accepted her suggestion, because the swimsuit fit really well and looked good, and the materials were also very high-end. The only drawback was that it was a bit expensive, but in a tourist city, she felt that the price was acceptable.

Senior Chucheng also purchased a set of swimsuits, but because of her petite body shape, no matter which swimsuit she chose, it would always look like a children's swimsuit, which bothered her.

……
