Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 795: Section 790-Flagship No. 2
If Miyoshi Monk couldn't get a suitable alchemical storage artifact, then Chen Fei would have to settle for playing a supporting role throughout, acting as the atmosphere group and responsible for cheering everyone on with cries of "666".
Although sometimes he could be recklessly unbelievable, he was not really a fool, his intelligence was at least online.
Letting a pure B-level special ability user charge forward like before wasn't bravery; it was cruelty.
In the relatively enclosed Hablav City, there was hardly anything new every day. The news that Chen needed to detox spread quickly, Miyoshi Xuesen easily caught several restless guys, willing to deliver themselves into his hands. The process was as smooth as silk, an unexpected gain.
Chen suspected this guy was simply using him as bait. For someone who specialized in dirty work, this was naturally without any need for reason.
After rummaging through piles of trash for several days, the haul was substantial.
Energy Points: 45000/45000
"Dragon King" Assault-Type Combat Mobile Armor x1
X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobile Armor x1
The flagship of the airship battle group x1
With the help of the garbage heap outside the city and many functional modules provided by Miyoshi Xuesen, Chen Fei barely restored some of his fighting power. Being a B-level, if he didn't genuinely prepare, he would truly die.
Louis Industrial Company happened to send ten super high-capacity crystalline blocks, produced by the laboratory at no expense spared, each over 30 cm in diameter, dubbed "Super Star Crystal". This solved the energy problem for these war machines—having equipment but not enough energy to power them would be the most embarrassing situation.
A week later, a team of ability users, comprising 316 individuals from 74 sovereignties, boarded a large armed Magic Cube warship as international observers and headed for the Africa State Continent.
The Blue Star Global United Defense Committee formed a roughly hundred-member command and logistics team that immediately followed, with a clear purpose.
They just waited for that negligent sovereignty to take its last breath, and the international observers would transform, essentially understood by all.
The Joint Defense Committee, being not a sovereignty itself, could afford to act more liberally, which was also the result of negotiations and compromises among various sovereignties.
With the example of the Cangqiong Star Civilization, the Blue Star Civilization spent thirty years standardizing the currency system, legal language, and scripts, as well as various standards, to achieve seamless integration with the similarly innovative Cangqiong Star Civilization.
Although the ability users came from different sovereignties, there was not much difficulty in terms of coordination and management.
A roughly 80-meter long airship closely followed the large armed Magic Cube warship as it took off from the military airbase in Hablav City.
The former was exactly the flagship of Chen Fei's airship battle group model.
To be precise, it should be Flagship No. 2.
The original Flagship No. 1 was still sealed within the "Spatial Branding" and couldn't be retrieved immediately. So, he had to use the available materials on hand to evolve Flagship No. 2. Due to the lack of coordination with other combat units, this solitary flagship had to be somewhat downscaled in terms of configuration and functions.
"Maintain a constant altitude of 12,000 meters, speed at 0.9 (mach/supersonic), and hold at four o'clock position, 10 kilometers distance."
Inside the bridge, watching the clouds gather and scatter, Chen Fei adjusted Flagship No. 2's flight data according to the flight path and parameters sent by the leading large armed Magic Cube warship positioned to the left and front.
The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" timely displayed a map interface within his AR visual assistance effects, prominently marking the relative positions of the two airships and the intended flight trajectory.
The AR effects didn't occupy too much of the limited field of vision yet made full use of the surrounding environment to provide an abundance of informational display.
As Chen Fei moved his head around and his gaze constantly shifted, the bridge appeared to have nothing more than two or three limited screens. One wouldn't find any instrument panel or console there, making it hard to associate the open and empty bridge with the control center of an 80-meter long airship. According to common sense, such a vessel, controlled entirely by an AI, would be a highly automated combat aircraft and vehicle.
"My visual nerves are connected to the AR visual assistance effects, so many things can only be seen by me."
Chen turned his head and looked toward Miyoshi Monk, focusing his eyes on reality as he spoke. However, most of his attention was on the other's shiny bald head.
Alas, each time it's the same. Supposedly a low-key Dark Elemental Psychic, yet his head shines like a high-wattage incandescent lamp, especially catching the eye.
"Eh? Is it some kind of biological technology surgery?"
Miyoshi Xuesen hadn't expected that what he and Chen Fei saw was actually different, and it wasn't an illusion. His mind raced with possibilities.
"It's not surgery, it's just 'Adam' deciphering and recompiling biological electrical signals."
Chen Fei didn't quite understand the technical principles either, but the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" had explained it using relatively simple terms. The process was extremely complex, involving a huge amount of mathematics, and treating his biomeaning brain and nervous system as if they were a computer, making simulated adjustments. In the end, it even proved successful in experiments.
Once that barrier was pierced, the subsequent tasks became much easier.
"I don't understand!"
Miyoshi Xuesen shook his bald head, "Adam," that AI, was no easy customer. After all, with a precedent set, no one dared to tread the same path and officially reactivate this dangerous AI—probably only "Rookie" would dare to use it without reservations.
He didn't fear damaging his brain by connecting to his visual nerves, but anyone daring to use "Adam" probably had a brain that was already beyond saving.
He continued, "Is this airship part of your gains from the Cangqiong Star?"
Airship technology was not something ordinary people could touch, even if there were no secrets in technology. Today, only The First Sovereign could muster an entire industrial chain and related tech tree on its own. For others, it required the collaboration of multiple sovereignties to operate, and even if they were allowed to copy it, individual or non-sovereign forces wouldn't be able to follow at all.
Yet, Miyoshi Xuesen had seen the technology of the Cangqiong Starlight Wing Ship on this airship. The light film that covered the vessel looked all too familiar. Would the Silan Dynasty really not squash this daring individual?
Onboard the No. 2 flagship, the passengers included not only Miyoshi and Chen Fei, but also a team from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, conveniently separated from the Sovereignties' Ability User Observation Group. It was more than just hitching a ride with the wind; it subtly meant avoiding any conflict of interest as well.
"Your guess is right, this is only part of it. The key is not in the airship formation itself, but the overall tactics of the fleet, the matching of combat units and related tactical details. It's a very complex theoretical model. Honestly, I haven't figured it all out yet," he said.
Had it not been for the assistance and strategic planning of the Legion Commander of the Tessa Empire Restoration Army's "Radiant Tiger" Legion, Chen Fei would have wrecked his brain trying to put together even a semblance of a combat model.
Though it was possible to set up various computational models using the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" and run simulations, the lack of sufficient real combat samples and related data could result in idealization and other fatal flaws, with both humans and AI becoming armchair strategists—the latter even more prone to such mistakes.
The battlefield situation changes every moment. For artificial intelligence, every simulation yields different answers, requiring specific error toleration rates. Thus, the real combat experience of active Senior Commanders becomes even more invaluable.
"It sounds very impressive!"
Miyoshi Xuesen wasn't an expert in this area and didn't understand either but that didn't prevent him from giving a thumbs up, impressed nevertheless; his gaze finally rested on Chen Fei's left wrist.
There, a slender, vine-like bracelet adorned with a dozen transparent crystals had been added.
Miyoshi Xuesen said, "I still have to apologize, the storage capacity of this Storage Magical Device is only 1100 cubic centimeters; it's the largest I could find."
"No need to apologize, I know the value and scarcity of Storage Magical Devices, this is already a large capacity and should be sufficient," Chen Fei lifted his left hand to look at the vine-like Storage Magical Device he had just acquired. Its capacity even surpassed that of the Ability User Observation Group and the Command and Logistics Team's Storage Magical Devices. It was brimming with various types of ammunition, ready to be loaded into the "Dragon King" Assault-Type Combat Mobile Armor and X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobile Armor located in the massive chamber, as well as the No. 2 flagship cruising through space.
Miyoshi Monk had truly exerted much effort to secure this Storage Magical Device for him. It would be extremely impolite to complain further.
The storage devices of others were also used to hold some of the ammunition. In case it wasn't enough, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee would intervene, directly requisitioning from the nearest Sovereignties and Aircrew Bases.
Preparing so much ammunition for Chen Fei alone took into full consideration his Psi Skill, which was extremely suitable for high-intensity warfare, to ensure optimal utilization of resources.
If they just wanted an individual fighter, Chen Fei's name wouldn't be on the list of the Ability User Observer Team at all.
The remaining black Vortex Cloud within the Blue Star atmosphere continued to endlessly unleash a host of monsters, truly a situation that could be considered a war.
After 9 hours of flight, a large Armed Magic Cube Warship and a small airship grazed the northern coastline of Madagash Island and approached the Africa Continent.
"'Snow Mountain Ship' calling '2-1 Flagship', the border of Marin Kai Sovereignty has been breached, we need to go there first for support," came a message from the leading large Armed Magic Cube Warship. The border line of the lackadaisical Sovereignty had finally given in, and neighboring Sovereignties suffering collateral damage. One was bad at war with a battle rating of 5, and the other was worse with a 6—it was truly a sorry state of affairs.
The No. 2 flagship didn't take any special names but was very directly named "2-1 Flagship," that is No. 1 of the second fleet, concise and clear.
Moreover, this could be an opportunity to form a second Airship Battle Group.
