The HsF-00 was like a ruthless and vicious black hunter, or a huge meteor that circled and turned sharply at high speed. With just a few of them, it acted recklessly in the flight formation of enemy aircraft like passing through butter and cheese.
Then, one after another, flames appeared in the sky, and the fate of the first fighter plane that was cut in half happened to them one by one.
--------
At the same time, the Seventh Fleet's combat command was dozens of miles away.
"boom!"
Robert, the commander of the naval combat command, slammed the table hard. "Where did those fighter planes come from? Don't tell me they were those useless guards!"
The staff stared at the detection screen nervously, but found nothing except the HsF-00 giant fighter jets that suddenly appeared.
"Fire the missiles! Shoot them down!"
"Report, the enemy aircraft is flying too fast, estimated to be 10000 kilometers per hour, the probability of successful missile interception is extremely low—"
At this time, the staff officer rushed over and said, "Not long ago, a nearby air force base detected a UFO over Singapore using a long-wave radar."
"What? Where did it appear?"
"The target first appeared in the stratosphere, at an altitude of about 50 kilometers, descended for a distance, and then quickly rose again."
Robert frowned, "Where's the satellite monitoring? Tell the base there is none. I need to call up the real-time satellite images."
"Commander, I actually asked, and they said it would take several dozen minutes for a low-Earth satellite to pass over Malacca to complete the monitoring."
"Fake!"
Dozens of minutes?
Not to mention dozens of minutes, in just a few minutes the day lily will be cold!
----------
In fact, there is no need to blame the Air Force base for this. Ever since the deployment of the "Uranus" satellite group in Academy City was completed, it has been using global satellite positioning to launch large-scale attacks and shoot down a large number of military spy satellites. America, which has the largest number of satellites, has been hit hardest. The spy satellite group, which is the foundation of the global monitoring network that it particularly relies on, has been almost wiped out.
The only satellites close to the Earth now are still launched urgently by NASA.
However, Academy City does not intend to continue shooting down these satellites, because it does not intend to hide its air power. Only by showing it openly can it be more effectively deterred.
The reason why other countries didn't see it before was because Academy City took advantage of the opportunity of shooting down a large number of satellites to launch aircraft into the suborbital airspace, some of which were air forces and some were outer space satellites. And now, soon, there were occasional passing satellites that witnessed the true appearance of this UFO, which was difficult to ignore because it was too huge.
The giant Hyperion-class aerospace carrier flew at an altitude of more than 50 kilometers in the stratosphere, a height that even fighter jets could hardly reach.
Hyperion, derived from the name of the son of Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and Uranus, the god of the sky, means one who travels through the sky.
This aerospace carrier is more than 3 kilometers long and is almost 100 times the size of an aircraft carrier at sea. It is equipped with a vacuum buoyancy system, a quantum engine device and battery panels of the Klilonomea basic unit structure. Through these efficient and semi-permanent energy-engine structures, Hyperion can continue to fly in the near-space field without sleep.
The warship is equipped with 40 gamma-ray cannons that are lighter than satellite gamma-ray lasers, and the rest are conventional machine guns and missile reserves. Because combat is not the only function of Hyperion, in fact, it can also be used for transportation.
Whether it is the transportation and delivery of materials, the loading of aircraft groups, or even orbital airdrops, the conditions are all available.
In fact, the main consideration at the beginning was transportation.
According to international regulations, the Kármán Line, that is, the airspace below 100 kilometers above sea level, is the airspace of each country, while the area above the Kármán Line is a public area. Academy City's intention is to carry out "divine air strikes" in any region of the world via suborbital orbits by taking off and landing battle groups and transport groups in the stratosphere, thus saving the trouble of wrangling with other countries.
Chapter 400: Mobius, Why Do Birds Fly?
Areas above 100 kilometers above sea level are international public areas, which means that when Academy City's aircraft are heading to a certain place, they can pass freely without the permission of other countries. For example, if Academy City needs to deploy an airborne guard team or a team of capable people into an inland area surrounded by other coastal countries, it does not need to obtain the consent of those countries. It can be directly dropped from the suborbital.
The choice of the Hyperion-class aerospace carrier as the take-off and landing platform for aerospace transport is also due to cost control and configuration optimization considerations. After all, the difference between taking off from the stratosphere and taking off from the ground is obvious. The energy block and overall function required for taking off directly from high altitude will be significantly reduced, which will help the aerospace plane to better play its original functions of transportation/combat/bombing, etc.
Of course, apart from fighter jets, the functional distinction between bombing and transportation is not that obvious. In near-space operations, countries currently do not have a decent combat system, which means that when launching long-range missiles, they will pass above the Karman line. However, Academy City can use the combat transportation system built in near space to drop supplies, personnel, weapons and even attacks on ground targets as needed.
For example, using technology similar to that of a spacecraft's return capsule, dropping bombs or special containers downwards, or using specialized orbital airborne forces. Furthermore, simply using an electromagnetically accelerated mass projection device to hit the ground to form an ultra-high kinetic energy weapon.
"HsF-00 test flight mission completed."
"Very good, let's gather," the voice coming from the aerospace carrier was communicating freely.
In the main control room, Wei Wei, the chief designer of the aerospace carrier, quietly watched her deputy handle the mission process. She didn't pay attention to it, because the take-off and landing of the aircraft group and the test flight process were all designed. They first took off from the Luzon launch base, all the way west to Malacca, and the final destination would be Egypt in North Africa.
If there are any accidents along the way, the best path will be calculated by the AI of the chaos control system.
For example, the actions of the US Seventh Fleet this time. Of course, it is not an accident. Academy City also has satellites, so it can naturally observe the actions of the Seventh Fleet. So there is nothing to say about the subsequent developments. No matter what their intentions are, it is undoubtedly an active attack.
However, the final impact of the incident was different from the previous attack on the US military satellite by Academy City. Although Rita took the initiative to reveal the gamma ray function of the Uranus weather control satellite as a spokesperson at the UN headquarters, she did not say anything else.
The US will not take the initiative to say that its satellites have been attacked. They even deliberately concealed the fact, and only claimed internally that some satellites lost contact due to the influence of rays from the universe, and this has nothing to do with Academy City.
There are gamma rays in the universe, too, there's nothing wrong with that.
But no matter what, the impact was obvious, because even the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Fleet did not know whether his own country had lost a large number of satellites or how many had been lost. There was no data, and it was impossible to make an accurate judgment on the radiation weapons.
"Virvi, how are you doing over there?"
Just as the adjutant was busy, and the chief engineer was bored and fantasizing about the 133rd plan for the 'Skytrain' because the actual implementation plan did not exceed expectations, a familiar cold voice was heard.
It is Mobius located in the headquarters of Academy City.
"What else can I do? I just finished a pre-match warm-up without any spectators or cheers," Wei Wei said expectantly, but there was no smile on her face. "Alas, fortunately, the patience limit is almost over. Next is another competition to show the flowers of human desire for good and evil~"
"Haha, the war is about to start. Why, you should be the one to officially open the curtain, right? It sounds like you are not satisfied yet?"
"——How can we be satisfied? Although the 'danger and uncertainty' we represent has aroused strong vigilance among all countries, just like in the ancient times when life began, every time we ignore a threat, we may lose our lives and end our lives. This form is ultimately primitive. The only way to increase the survival rate is to avoid danger or eliminate it."
Weiwei's tone changed roles, using ethereal analogies like a conductor or astrologer, and cooking the salt and sugar ratio of the world situation like a chef. "We, the huge life entity of human civilization, should get rid of this primitive 'jungle code'. The vast starry sky should be the destination of the next generation of civilization."
That is the age of man, and also the age of celestial bodies.
"If we want to break free from our inherent constraints and fly into the blue sky," Mebius understood what Velvi meant, "we should first evolve free wings. Life is a complete process and a canvas that can be infinitely colored. I will find the right direction. What we need to do now is to break the so-called mysterious dark puzzle of this planet and create a scientific myth."
"But - don't you think the bird's words are easy to associate with someone?"
"Kevin? The line 'When disaster strikes, only birds that can fly can survive'?"
"Yes, but in my opinion, the growth that people go through is also a kind of test and tribulation for themselves, don't you think? The Alaya consciousness of the human race is precisely the reflection of the human heart of all living beings."
"The so-called clash between the old and new human principles is nothing more than a clash of beliefs among humanity as a whole. As civilization progresses, human principles should also grow. We should make it understand that it is time to destroy the foundation of the Age of Gods and leave the swaddling clothes wrapped by the tentacles of the planet. Only when humanity learns to be independent can it end its childhood and usher in a new growth."
----------
Earlier. America.
The City on the Hill has just received news that the Seventh Fleet has been annihilated.
"Damn it! When did that thing appear?"
"We need to re-evaluate the threat level of Academy City. Our fighter planes are completely outdated in traditional air combat. Currently, we can only fight on land..."
Then there was no sound. With air supremacy being so wantonly violated, the first thing to solve was the threat from the air, and other aspects became secondary.
"You also know it's a 'traditional' air battle, right? How do we deal with that big thing flying in the sky (referring to the aerospace carrier)?"
"So we still have to rely on other means? I wonder how Faldius's preparations for the Holy Grail Ceremony are going?"
Chapter 401 God Creation Plan
As the chief executor of the Holy Grail War plan of the American Special Department, most of Faldius's base is actually in Snowfield City.
Most people in the City on the Hill knew that this thing was originally just a coalition of American magic families, cooperating with some American secular forces with the intention of realizing the development of magic in their own country and catching up with advanced organizations such as the British Clock Tower and the Japanese Association.
Of course, there are also some selfish motives, such as trying to see if the third method can be realized with the Holy Grail. Even if there is no genuine Einzbern Holy Grail system information, it would not be bad to realize a magic technology similar to the third method, such as a "third type of magic perpetual motion machine".
But once it is achieved, will the genuine third method (magic) be downgraded to magic? American magicians don’t care. What they care about is pragmatism.
"Where's Faldius' latest progress report?"
"I have it here," Charles handed everyone a report, "Overall, the progress is very fast and very good. The original plan required years of adjustments, but it has been shortened to a few months. Judging from the recent situation, the speed is still accelerating. It is expected to start in the middle of this month."
"Mid-month... that's only a few days away."
"Really? This guy always looks like a smart citizen, but I didn't expect that he works so hard in secret."
The people in the Hilltop City didn't know what was in the box that Faldius and Plaste brought back, nor did they know that Academy City had summoned angels and laid out new rules. They thought that the accelerated arrival of the Holy Grail War was only due to Faldius.
It's a good idea to gain some favor from your boss for free.
But he certainly didn't know that his superiors had new ideas about the Holy Grail War.
"——Speaking of which, if the summoning of the Realm Record Belt is really successful, as long as our Master gives the order and puts it into use in the war, then the Academy City will be nothing more than——"
"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious? If things go wrong, the rules of concealment will be broken all over the world, and other magic organizations and even monsters from the Wandering Sea will come out to strangle us to death!"
Well, although they don’t know that certain beings from the Wandering Sea and the Mountain Court have already begun to take action, and some are even heading straight for the Holy Grail War.
Of course, these would not affect the current situation, and the people in the City on the Hill were just discussing the matter at hand. As for whether to use the Heroic Spirits of the Holy Grail War in the war, many people gradually started arguing because of disagreements.
"quiet!"
The leader at the top, who was disguised by Dr. Hatteras, said, "What you are worried about right now is nothing more than the lack of available combat power. However, if you make a decision to use Heroic Spirits, you are worried that your 'peers' will sabotage you."
Dr. Hatteras described the situation calmly. In fact, magicians, especially American magicians, a group that pays special attention to worldly interests, do not have high ethics in concealing mysteries. They do not care about the future of those old guys, as long as magic can bring benefits to themselves, that's all.
This is why Dr. Hatteras is certain that the members of the City on the Hill will tend to worry that the Heroic Spirits are not strong enough to fight against the major organizations in the world, rather than abhorring such rule-breaking behavior because of their adherence to dogma.
"Everyone, through His Excellency the Monarch of the Astronomy Department, I contacted the person who once took over the commission from His Excellency Marisbury to investigate the Holy Grail War, and obtained new information from him through the transaction," Dr. Hatteras spoke directly, actually talking about himself.
"——It can be said to be an amazing technology. One is the 'Great Mystery of Death and Rebirth' (Initiation) created through the concept of the labyrinth in mythology, and the other is a special time-manipulating inherent barrier called inherent time control. That person combined the two and formed a technique that can continuously connect the Servants to the Seat, expand the intelligence of the Servant and even the scale, which is the 'Spiritual Base Reincarnation'. And by adding this mystery to the Holy Grail system, the result of its birth will be——"
"god."
Dr. Hatteras uttered the last word.
The spacious wooden house was instantly silent, and one could almost hear a pin drop. Everyone was stunned by Dr. Hatteras's plan to "create a god" with the help of the Holy Grail War.
And considering the practical application of the Holy Grail War they are discussing...
This is crazy.
No, no, no, if it is true, if it is really possible, the power of God over the modern world is almost overwhelming, even destructive, and there is no need to consider war at all. If it is a god, just one of them can destroy the modern armed forces into slag, and the Academy City is nothing more than a piece of dirt.
After all, someone remained calm.
"So, how did you trade for this technique? Regardless of whether the effect of the technique is really as claimed, such a person has painstakingly researched such a technique, and letting him implement it himself is the most guaranteed way to ensure effective use. How did you trade it?"
"Ah, don't worry. According to my private investigation, that person is not a profiteer. On the contrary," Dr. Hatreth knew himself better than anyone else, "he is an idealist. His ideal, as he said, is to destroy the order of the magic world. In order to achieve this goal to the greatest extent, he handed over the data of the technique to us who can mobilize a large amount of resources and are willing to execute it."
Dr. Hatteras seemed to be telling a story, and at the same time, he deeply concealed the hatred and destructive meaning in his eyes.
------------
In the northwest of Xueyuan City, there is a closed building standing in the suburbs, several kilometers away from the urban buildings. It is surrounded by a circle of high barbed wire fences and multiple surveillance towers, which inadvertently keep pedestrians away.
This is a private prison called "Kozman Special Correction Center", but it is not just a prison. It is also one of the main work locations for the special department personnel led by Faldius.
For example, the large-scale monitoring room can call upon the surveillance cameras throughout the entire Snowfield City and even the vision of electronic familiars.
Faldius was not in the monitoring room at this time, but in another room, the TV screen on the wall was playing recent international news reports.
[Encountering the new HsF-00 fighter produced by Mikoyan, the US Seventh Fleet suffered heavy losses! 】
[Academy City announces the opening of the 'Air-Space Route', opening up a near-air track! ]
[Will the aerospace carrier become a new threat to sovereign states? Ms. Rita denied this and said that the technology is mainly used in the transportation industry. She also announced that Colombia and Egypt, the partners, will be the first beneficiaries.]
[Recently, cosmic rays from outer space have been frequent, and some people have pointed out that...]
Chapter 402: Hengfeiji: A little bit of Holy Grail was added to the black mud
"..."
The room was dimly lit by the dim light from the TV screen. Apart from that, there was no other light source inside the room, so the whole room seemed dark. The TV news clip that Faldius saw at this time was "Oasis Group representative Catherine had a formal discussion on cooperation with representatives of the Egyptian authorities." It claimed that the group would carry out a series of development and construction projects in Egypt, including but not limited to artificial canals, oasis transformation, new agricultural factories, high-speed transportation routes and the first space flight station in history.
Of course, these things reported in the news are by no means all. The agreement should have been reached secretly long ago and the work should have already started.
Faldius judged that the style of Academy City was hidden in advance, and then exposed when it was necessary to be made public. For example, the aerospace flight, even if it was not explicitly mentioned in the report, whether it was the Oasis transformation or other projects, they all relied on a large amount of air transportation.
Perhaps a large number of containers should be sent to the sky over Egypt at this time.
Faldius was amazed at the efficiency of execution and the ability to mobilize resources. The American department had studied the corporate structure of Academy City.
But in the end, it was discovered that these companies, whether they were engineering construction companies such as Nientropy, Shencheng Medicine, Oasis Agriculture, or Tianming Entertainment, all had organizations that were different from each other but covered a wide range of fields. If these companies were combined as a force, it would obviously include all the industrial categories currently on the market. This means that they have built a complete top-to-bottom industrial chain. This giant organization that seems loose but is actually tight and forms an internal economic cycle can already be said to be a country.
Especially after the company has possessed more and more resources, population, market and other factors, this trend has become uncontrollable, and the satellite technology and suborbital aviation technology it has developed have even disrupted the world situation.
