People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

It was surrounded by residential areas, and a train was coming from a tunnel on one side. It was a train coming from Luzon. Academy City was able to transport and deliver materials silently thanks to these undersea tunnels, underground passages, submarines and other means of transportation that were not easily noticed.

The few of them passed through and came to the edge of the commercial district a little further out. This was where Aisha's "school" was, so little Aisha needed to say goodbye to Ryougi Shiki first.

"Goodbye, Sister Ryougi Shiki! And goodbye, Mr. Pink!" Little Aixia said politely. Her mother works here, so she is also everyone's "surrogate mother".

"—By the way, Ryougi Shiki-nee, do you know when the administrator will come again? We have finished learning the poems from last time."

"I don't know," Ryougi Shiki said truthfully. At the same time, he thought of a strange man wearing a hood and holding an umbrella. He didn't know why he was so good at taking care of children. "I guess he's been busy recently."

"Is that so? As for poetry, maybe I can teach you a little bit!" Peperoncino beside him suddenly interrupted, "Gitanjali, Crescent Moon and so on, I am also very familiar with them."

Chapter 397: Second Phase Expansion, Another Human Shock

"you?"

Ryougi Shiki's first reaction was that this guy wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

"Yeah, that's true. I just expressed it. I really can write poetry, and I'm good at many epics." Pepe just mentioned it casually. He was just an aimless traveler, so it didn't matter where he went. It wouldn't be a bad idea to teach the kids when he was in the mood. But they couldn't trust themselves after all, and that was a problem.

"......" Ryougi Shiki looked at the man's expression and couldn't tell whether it was a disguise or not. "Leave quickly and follow the process with me. I'll soon know whether you can do it or not."

Ryougi Shiki said goodbye to Aisha's family and soon brought Pepeloncino to a commercial street similar to the new city of Medan in Luzon.

It cannot be said to be similar, in fact, they are using the same urban template. Although the urban planning itself will be adjusted according to the surrounding hydrological and mountain conditions, the idea of ​​​​laying out and planning commercial areas or production areas is the same. The primary consideration in such places is the convenience of the people living here.

But what Peperoncino was concerned about was not these, but the colorful plants and lawns on both sides of the road. "Wow, these flowers and plants can grow underground? Is it just relying on the artificial light on the top?"

Although Peperoncino was from the magic world, he knew that although artificial light could provide conditions for photosynthesis for plants, the temperature was not right and the absorption effect was very low. Moreover, these plants were not the exotic flowers and plants in the magic world, and there was no trace of magic regulation.

"I don't know about plants without light."

Ryougi Shiki was not obliged to answer this question. She seemed very cold and did not have the gentle demeanor that girls usually have. "The next part will be soon. Someone will take you to do the 'personality assessment' and 'intention filling'. Finish it quickly. I am very short on time."

"Oh, what a pity," Pepeloncino glanced at Ryougi Shiki, "I thought such a beautiful woman would know how to dress herself up. I just passed by a nail salon that looked pretty good, should I try it—Oh, oh, I don't mean to run away!"

Pepe, the male elder sister, is a man with a woman's heart. He is surprisingly good at female topics such as beauty and fashion. In contrast, Ryougi Shiki is a person who uses a female personality to behave like a man.

So, Pepe forced Ryougi Shiki to talk to her about manicures, lipsticks, facial masks and other topics along the way, which made Ryougi Shiki, who knew that Pepe was a real man, quite uncomfortable.

The two came to the central area of ​​the underground city.

At a certain intersection, a girl with short lavender hair was waiting there, "Sister Ryougi Shiki?"

"Yeah, that's him. Just him. Name... Pepe or something?"

Ryougi Shiki turned around and saw that she didn't remember this strange name at all.

"You don't even remember my name! It's Pepe Longino!" Pepe made an exaggerated noise, but then smiled, "But calling me Pepe is also a great name."

After the interruption, Sora took them to a private room and conducted a brief interrogation, mostly asking whether Pepe had any ill intentions, whether he followed the rules, etc.

Pepeloncino clearly felt that the little girl had a strange ability. She seemed to be able to judge whether she was lying or not. To be honest, Pepe was a little unsure whether his telepathy could work on Kong.

Then, Sora took out an interest registration form.

"Mr. Pepe, you have a lot of options," Kong explained skillfully. For Pepe, a "magician" who mingled with the locals, Academy City had made multiple plans in its expansion plan. "First, you can choose to work here. For example, you can work long-term at the nursery you are interested in. Second, you can refuse to join and choose to stay as a tourist. Keep in mind that the economic system here is different. You will have a minimum of three months of food and accommodation..."

There are many people in the magic world who have repeatedly hit a wall due to a lack of magic circuits or other reasons. Many people choose to return to the secular world to find a job. Academy City is equivalent to recruiting, and the salary is definitely higher than that of ordinary institutions. Of course, if you refuse, it is probably because you believe in your own abilities more.

Anyway, the positions in Academy City are not available around the clock. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. The same goes for the spiritual engineering project of the East Union Association. If you don't want to go to these easy places, and you don't want to give in to others, there is nothing you can do.

Pepe quickly chose to be a "male mother" here, which was quite interesting. However, he soon became worried, "Although your ability is amazing, stewardess, be careful that people's mentality will change. Some magicians may not be stable after a long time."

"Don't worry, Mr. Pepe, what you are worried about - in a little while, it won't happen."

Sora smiled. Because this place will soon be included in the real Academy City. Magic tricks will be useless.

--------

In the room at the top of the central tower not far away, stood a woman with long black hair. She had pale skin that had not been exposed to the sun for a long time, and she looked like a floating ghost in a white coat.

"This is Wutiao 10023, signal reception is good."

The woman spoke in an inorganic and bland tone.

"Yes."

"Commander's consciousness command confirmed."

"... Got it, Shade Computer Assam Extension is working fine."

The woman put on a high-tech helmet, with one side connected to a huge tower-shaped container in front of her. Inside was a churning solution computer that could greatly increase the strength of the AIM diffusion field. The huge tower-shaped building outside seemed to be the shell that protected the computer.

At the same time, her mind was constantly receiving brain wave signals from various isosceles in the 'Witch Network'.

The so-called commander's tower consciousness is Wujo Kirie herself.

Wujo Kirie is one of the most special people with special abilities. Her development direction is "multiple existence". She can complete the connection of the AIM diffusion field through the deep connection between different bodies. Combined with the enhanced maintenance of the computer, she can create and imitate the environment of Academy City in disguise.

"——Science Phase Expansion Plan, Phase 2 begins!"

After rounds of preparation and testing, the command tower finally received the official start-up order.

The same scenes also occurred in the expansion control areas of Academy City such as Luzon, Columbia, and Egypt.

The tremor was more intense than the first one. If we use the metaphor of the sea, this time, the simultaneous human experiment in multiple locations has created a large-scale "tsunami".

Despite the observation capabilities of large organizations, few people are aware of—

The new principles are pressing forward step by step, while the old principles are gradually shrinking.

The old world also has an instinct to survive. The tighter it contracts, the greater the counterattack.

War is inevitable.

Chapter 398 HsF-00 Supersonic Stealth Fighter, Prelude to World War III

In early November 2003.

The Seventh Fleet from Yokosuka Port dithered and moved to Pohang and Jinhae bases at sea in the name of military exercises, and then turned its guns and pointed at a supply port area in Changi, Singapore.

Singapore is a country that has attracted a lot of foreign investment. Based on its open economy, the United States has also invested a certain amount of capital and military power. When Shencheng Group chose to start here, it also investigated the local conditions and found that it was suitable for high-tech companies to settle in. Now it has developed into a science and technology industrial park, and coupled with its hegemonic position in the medical field, in a sense, it is also a well-known place among some people.

The Seventh Fleet's combat power is mainly composed of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group, supplemented by land-based aviation and amphibious forces. When it was learned that Academy City's satellite weapons could launch gamma-ray lasers, the Seventh Fleet chose not to rashly launch fighters, but to try to get closer to the port area.

Therefore, the Seventh Fleet's intention is nothing more than to use low-altitude and maritime operations to test the armed forces of Academy City in this area. The military exercises close to the port area are actually a cover-up. If it goes on smoothly, perhaps some artillery shells and missiles will "accidentally fly" into the territory of the Kamishiro Group, or some ships carrying Kamishiro Group's goods will be surrounded.

In other words, they want to create a disguised replay of the "Galaxy" incident of the last century.

After all, gamma rays are better at killing at high altitudes. If they pass through the atmosphere and reach the ground, they are likely to cause indiscriminate killing. Academy City still has to take civilians into consideration. If the US Air Force chooses to fly at low altitudes in urban areas, it will not be easy to abuse satellite rays. And you have to pick the soft persimmon. Since Luzon is under a blockade and has a launch base, it must be heavily guarded. Singapore, which only has a factory area, is a better threat target.

However, it would be too far-fetched to say that such a decision would render Academy City helpless.

--------

In the Strait of Malacca, it was still early in the morning, close to dawn, and the moon had not yet completely faded from the sky.

The turbulent sea roared with all its might all night long, and so did the huge shadow in the sky.

Seventh Fleet Command Headquarters of the USS George Washington aircraft carrier.

Commander Robert heard the staff officer next to him say, "Commander, we have received a communication from the coast of Singapore Island."

"What content."

"They said that the area ahead belongs to the privately built factory of Shencheng Group, not the military port. They used the excuse of commercial confidentiality and warned us to leave this route and make a detour within five minutes, otherwise the security team would launch an attack."

"Haha. What an international joke! It would be better to say that this is the Economic Development Zone," Robert didn't care. According to the maritime treaty, the territorial waters are within 20 nautical miles of the island, which is not the case yet. Moreover, any warning must be issued by Singapore officials. Of course, with Singapore's military strength, this is impossible.

"By the way, what is the security team?"

The staff officer was stunned for a moment. "Perhaps it is the name of the group's private armed forces? Similar to armed security guards?"

The two men's faces instantly turned strange. Comparing this with the aircraft carrier battle group, the difference in magnitude was too great.

The topic ended here, and Robert ordered: "Let CVW-5 (carrier-based aircraft battle group) take off and prepare to fly along the coast to find the 'target'."

Not long after, several Hornet fighter jets took off from the aircraft carrier and soared into the sky. This is a supersonic jet third-generation fighter produced by Boeing. It adopts a single-seat/tandem two-seat swept-wing aerodynamic layout and performed excellently in actual combat in the 1991 Gulf War.

In contrast to Academy City, the only military technologies they have clearly displayed are advanced space launches and gamma ray weapons, and humanoid armor that appears to be for elite army special forces. According to the staff's speculation, they should also have advanced ballistic missile technology, but in the low-altitude and ocean areas, Academy City has not revealed anything obvious.

And no matter what, it is impossible for the Shencheng Group's technology park to hide military facilities. After all, it is a bustling commercial area with people coming and going, and any blocked military area can be discovered immediately.

The US military is shameless in sending out supersonic fighter jets just to provoke here.

At this time, the pilot on the Hornet was wearing gloves and holding the joystick. He felt relieved and happy when he thought that this mission was just to find a coastal target to "accidentally drop bombs" and there were dozens of fighter jets of the same type accompanying him. It was so safe and risk-free.

"What is that?" He heard the voice of his teammate who was flying the same type of fighter through the radio channel, and he seemed confused.

After a brief exchange of words within the channel, the pilot quickly received a voice message through the FM:

[Please return to the base within 5 minutes, otherwise it will be considered an attack and we will shoot you down. I repeat, please return to the base within 5 minutes, otherwise...]

"Where did the signal come from?" Singaporean army? Impossible?

“——It’s up there!”

"Damn it, the airborne radar didn't detect it before, is it a stealth fighter!?"

It was not until the enemy entered a fairly close distance that the Hornet battle group discovered these opponents.

"Is that a fighter jet from Academy City? It's too big!"

The enemy aircraft HsF-00 is a supersonic stealth fighter manufactured by Academy City. It is over 7000 meters long and is descending over the Strait of Malacca at a top speed of over kilometers per hour.

Originally, a fighter jet should be about 15 to 20 meters long and have a speed of about 2,500 kilometers per hour, but the weapons of Academy City obviously far surpassed the Hornet fighter jet in all aspects.

Moreover, in this kind of supersonic battle, the heavier the object, the more likely it is to be instantly disintegrated by its own inertia when it changes its angle as quickly as a small fighter. Even if it does not break into pieces, the strong pressure will cause the pilot's internal organs to be crushed.

However, a giant fighter like the HsF-00 can easily fly sideways or spin like a gyroscope, so it is completely crushed in terms of both fuselage performance and flexibility.

The fighting begins.

By the time we realize the gap, it's already too late.

The pilot's originally relaxed and happy mood was completely buried, and his hands holding the joystick were covered in cold sweat.

Then, another thing happened that shattered his cognition even more.

Those giant fighter jets rushed straight over, with no intention of flying around for a dogfight.

stab.

He seemed to hear a loud noise and a terrible explosion.

A Hornet fighter next to him was completely cut in half by the enemy plane with its computer-like movements and hard wings.

Chapter 399: Hyperion Aerospace Carrier and Near-Air Combat Transport System

One Hornet fighter was killed.

The dazzling flames are just the beginning.

The pilots knew very well that the Hornet was equipped with medium-range air-to-air missiles and was not completely defenseless against enemy aircraft, but judging by the movements and performance of these huge fighters, it seemed more like a futile effort.

The HsF-00 was flying freely in the sky, performing aerial acrobatics more like a fighter than a fighter. It could easily avoid the tracking of air-to-air missiles, and its blackened reinforced windshield made it impossible to see if there was anyone inside controlling it.

In fact, as a giant supersonic fighter, the HsF-00 is not completely controlled by humans, but also uses computers to assist in combat. The way the guards drive it is to be frozen in a cryogenic life-support cabin, and then control the functions of the fuselage through a connection with consciousness.

The purpose of doing this is, firstly, to ensure that the guards are not harmed by the drastic movements of the aircraft. Secondly, the computer connected to the consciousness, like a density computer, can greatly improve the computing power during flight in this way, just like a person with special abilities, making low-altitude combat a simplified version of a flight combat game.

Because of its sturdy fighter shell, the HsF-00 does not need to adopt modern air combat tactics at all, and does not even spend a bit of ammunition. It can defeat opponents one by one by simply using the wing-cutting tactics commonly used in "close combat".

"Focus on attacking the target. I don't believe they can keep hiding like this!"

Other Hornet fighters sounded resentful. At the same time, the HsF-00 began to make more irregular flight patterns, such as Split S, Barrel Roll, etc. All the missiles were perfectly avoided as if they had just hit a marginal ball.

But more and more missiles were locking onto them.

At this time, HsF-00 was still very calm and it was accelerating calmly.

"Wait...! This is impossible!"

"It is still accelerating while dodging, already far exceeding 7000 kilometers per hour—"

8000 km/h? 9000 km/h? ...

The speed of the HsF-00 was far beyond that of the missiles. As a result, these huge fighters completely fooled them.

The result of the missiles not being able to catch up was that the Hornets completely lost their ability to fight back. Even the missiles couldn't react, let alone them?
