The aftermath of the encounter had not dissipated. Shen Rui picked up Qi Zhengfeng and his party from Jihe Fort and sent them to Shangyun City. After returning to the destroyer, he told several other people about the incident.
"Damn it, it seems they are watching our ship all the time..." Ouyang said worriedly.
This time, Shen Rui was alert in time and avoided a danger. This was due to the other party's consistent caution.
"Can your battlefield space be expanded in the air?" Xia Daxue suddenly asked.
"I have confirmed this. The battlefield space can be expanded in the air, but the expanded battlefield space is still in the air, unless it is close to the ground or within 500 meters of the sea." Shen Rui confirmed.
"In this case, it's okay to say something, but we really need to strengthen the construction of air cavalry." Ouyang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was most worried about was that Shen Rui would be taken away by a wave of enemies. It would be much better if there was battlefield space as a buffer.
"If you want to regain air supremacy, the best way is to build Inscription fighter planes. Some alternatives have been proposed and are being intensively tested. We can wait patiently for a while." Xia Daxue hinted.
Shen Rui was immediately interested. He had mentioned this issue a long time ago, when he was attacking the eighth-level giant bear.
Now people can build inscription protective structures on helicopters and ships, because they are slow and stable machines with a maximum speed of only two to three hundred kilometers per hour and can stop in battle.
In this case, the operator can focus on injecting specific particles for protection, making it less likely to cause misoperation.
As for fighter jets, such conditions are not destined to exist. The entire combat process is completed at high speed, and speed is where its vitality lies. A fighter jet that loses speed means death.
Many seemingly simple things will become troublesome once they are involved in high-speed movement, resulting in poor stability and reduced safety.
This is especially true when it involves special particles, a new power that has only been mastered for more than ten years.
During high-speed movement, if the controller wants to steadily inject special particle protection into the fighter, many accidents will occur.
This is different from the cultivator's own body, which has been tempered over and over again, just like the arms and fingers. Even if special particles are used to fight during extremely fast movements, no accidents will occur.
Just like the crash rate of early airplanes, it was shocking.
As for those flying birds, they flew in large numbers, but they rarely crashed in the air.
So he asked: "Then how are they going to solve the technical difficulty of stably injecting special particles into various inscription formations while the controllers are moving at high speed?"
"No, they can't solve this problem for the time being, but they have changed their thinking. If some inscription protection devices that have been poured in advance are installed on the fighter planes, if one piece is consumed, the next piece will be replaced..." Xia Daxue only said half of it, and other People understood immediately.
"I see, there should be very few media that can store special particles for a long time. At present, only living creatures have been found that can store particle energy for a long time. Otherwise, this solution should have been proposed long ago." Ouyang Ling frowned.
"Of course it wasn't possible before. Until the domestication of alienated plants has made great progress recently, this problem has been solved." Xia Daxue smiled.
Shen Rui suddenly understood. He thought of the city lord's mansion in Shangyun City and those vine fences. Since they could form a protective network underground, they could naturally be reduced in size and used on fighter jets.
"You mean, using alienated plants to make wooden fighter planes? This is indeed a good idea. There is no technical difficulty in making wooden planes." He praised.
"You are so smart. In the early days, airplanes were made of a lot of wood. Now everything has returned to the original point, which is quite philosophical." Xia Daxue looked out the window with a very strange feeling.
"Yes, wooden airplanes were very common in World War I and World War II. I didn't expect that in the 21st century, we would have to pick up the technological wealth left by our ancestors again." Shen Rui recalled the war documentaries he had watched, and he was sighing at the moment.
Human beings need to be grateful to their ancestors. The ancestors spared no effort to leave too much wealth for the survival of future generations. Even in the end of the world, it is still useful.
There are no technical difficulties in making wooden airplanes. This problem can be solved by finding suitable alienated plants and replacing dead wood with living wood.
This is human beings. Human beings are full of shortcomings, but they have the greatest advantage, which is creativity. They rely on creation to adapt to the ever-changing environment, even if this is an apocalypse that is not friendly to humans at all!
Any nation whose creativity has been artificially eliminated is destined to perish because they have lost the greatest advantage of human beings compared to other life forms.
"What a genius idea!" Ouyang Ling said excitedly, "Using alienated plants as fighter shells. After a battle consumes all the energy of the special particles, replace the shell with a new one and let the old shell return to the soil to rest. This iterative process continues. The inscription fighter can continue to fight."
"The problem now is that there are not many alienated plants suitable for making fighter plane casings, so we need to persist for a while." Xia Daxue reminded.
"No wonder the Administration has sufficient confidence. Time is on our side. As long as we regain the air superiority, most of those weird attacks will have failed." Shen Rui nodded.
"Yes, monsters are more afraid of death than people, because they have no culture of sacrifice at all. When they were beasts, they still had the instinct to sacrifice for the group. Once they develop wisdom and a sense of survival, they can suppress it. This instinct. It's just that the Pillar of Hateful Shadow provides control particles for those aberrations and solves this difficulty. Otherwise, our battle will be easier." Xia Daxue responded.
A few people nodded, chatted for a while, and then left to go about their business.
From the attack on Shen Rui, it can be seen that the prelude of "Operation Hell" has already sounded, and they must seize the time to deal with it.
…………
At the same time, various measures taken by the Administration are already being implemented.
Somewhere in the south of Kyushu, there is a huge wetland with swamps and lakes everywhere. It was once a national nature protected wetland.
And here, there are two men in gray-green uniforms negotiating with a group of weirdos.
The strange group of monsters were a group of three-meter-high waterfowl. They were looking at the two of them with ferocity in their eyes.
One of the taller men in uniform was talking to the largest white water bird.
"King White Bird, you know our attitude. As long as we remain neutral, we can live in peace with you. The large wetland you occupy used to be a nature reserve. We will not develop it in the future and will continue to maintain it. There is no fundamental conflict of interest between you and me regarding the natural ecology here."
"Therefore, there is no need for you to join this hellish operation, as doing so will not do you any good.
"You should understand that those shadows actually have bad intentions. Their goal is to drag the earth into darkness. The dimming of the sun will also have a great impact on you. There will be a sharp shortage of food. Without sunlight, there will be no life."
"At present, only we humans have hope to reverse this situation. If you join forces with them to suppress us, then the earth will never see the light of day again!"
The largest white water bird remained silent.
After a while, it slowly said: "If you can give us this wetland in the future and stock fish and shrimp regularly, fifteen tons per month, I will agree to your terms. This condition is not excessive. Before the end of the world, you will
Some places have fed us food, but now they are just returning to the old routine, and we are not taking advantage of the situation."
The two men in gray-green uniforms looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and then secretly communicated.
"Tmd, it's so realistic. We said so many great things, but it turned a deaf ear."
"Alas, they have wisdom, but they are not human beings. If they were human beings, they could use their ideals and pie to fool them; these guys only care about their mouths and their eyes."
"Yeah, no matter how nice it is, the most we can do is make them not reject us. We really want them to help us. We don't even want to take advantage of the situation. We still need to see the real thing."
"It seems I have to bargain with them."
"The higher-ups have anticipated this situation for a long time. I hope these guys won't be too smart."
So the two parties started a friendly and lengthy negotiation, and finally the price was reduced from 15 tons to 5 tons. At the same time, these water birds were required to be responsible for transportation and related road safety work...
