Split Sky Rider

Chapter 884 - Fog Zone

After 14 hours of subsonic flight, the giant flying ship of the First Flying Ship Combat Cluster pushed aside the thick cumulonimbus clouds and slowly fell to the ground amidst the dense rain and the occasional flashes of thunder.

The huge ship could not fly too fast in the atmosphere.

Looking down at the ground from the sky, the abnormal area was filled with strange fog, and colorful lights surged from time to time. The height of the fog zone reached more than 6,000 meters, forcing Chen Fei to instruct "Adam" to control the flying ship to maintain a distance of 500 and "graze" the altitude.

The terrain around the abnormal area is undulating hills, sparsely scattered with low bushes and weeds, the vegetation is not lush, only a few thin and narrow streams can be seen, and the water resources are not very abundant.

Artificial intelligence AI "Adam" marked the distribution of ground personnel and vehicles for Chen Fei's AR visual assistance effect and identified them.

The ground personnel are basically local sovereign officials, including officials, soldiers and technicians, and nomads living nearby. The latter number has reached more than a thousand people. Many of them are smart and simply do small business on the spot, forming a small market spontaneously, which adds a bit of liveliness to this wilderness.

Seeing the giant flying ship breaking through the thick clouds, casting bright lights on the ground, and getting closer and closer to the ground in the lightning, many people even waved to the sky in the rain.

The ground is not flat, and it is difficult to find a suitable landing point in the hilly area full of gullies. The size of the giant flying ship is too large. After several comparisons, the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" finally selected an area to let the ship fall completely, and the head and tail parts just landed on the top of two adjacent hills, just like building a bridge.

At this time, two more small flying ships flew from a distance and slowly approached the giant flying ship.

The communication group of the command center far away in the waters of Midway Island sent an order.

"'Rookie', the supply ship of the Persian sovereignty has arrived and is ready to receive supplies. At the same time, some cabins need to be opened to allow the local investigation team to move in. They will also fully open all the investigation information to you. The list of the investigation team has been sent."

"Received, 'Adam', guide the two ships to land on the top deck, arrange robots and transportation tools to receive supplies, open the bottom hatch, arrange combat robots and earth-type ability users, establish a 100-meter radius isolation zone, and receive the new personnel on the list."

Chen Fei gave a response.

The command center communicated with each sovereignty through the headquarters of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee, and the information was transmitted quickly.

Several slender green beams were projected from the top of the giant ship, constructing a guide channel in the rain curtain, guiding two small ships with a total length of less than 50 meters to land on its back.

The 600-meter-long ship uses itself as a take-off and landing platform, which is enough to support the emergency take-off and landing of small aircraft, and even turboprop aircraft such as "Big Mouth Monster" has no pressure.

With the visible guidance beam forming the channel, the subsequent take-off and landing operations only need to be carried out step by step. The two small flying ships, one after the other, quickly and steadily landed on the back of the giant flying ship. As soon as the front foot landed, the entire ship sank into the interior of the flying ship together with the landing deck.

The entire giant flying ship was under the control of Chen Fei's supernatural power, and the temporary evolution of components was as easy as eating and drinking.

The two small flying ships not only brought food, drink and daily necessities for hundreds of people on the ship, but also included the share of the investigation team that was about to move in.

The arrival of such a huge flying ship naturally became the best base, and even the effort of setting up a camp on the spot was saved. Tents and simple houses were no match for the cabin of the flying ship anyway.

Two reconnaissance drones rushed out of the flight hatch on the side of the giant flying ship one after another, and then plunged into the abnormal area where the fog was rolling endlessly. Like the Galilee Peninsula and the Desert Peninsula in the northern continent of America, the external features of the abnormal area were all foggy, and the visibility was less than 10 centimeters.

But the fog is only visible to the naked eye. Once you step in, the scenery inside is completely different.

Adam: Wireless connection interrupted!

On Chen Fei's AR visual interface, the signals of the two reconnaissance drones disappeared one after another.

But he was not worried. The drone's AI was also a replica of "Adam". It not only had a preset action plan, but also had sufficient autonomy.

For actions like exploring unknown areas, "Adam", who is good at improvisation, is more suitable than the derivative of "Cybertrom".

A moment later, a drone flew out, the signal was restored again, and a large amount of data was transmitted synchronously.

The air composition in the abnormal area was not much different from the data collected by the Persian Sovereignty Investigation Team. During the period before the arrival of the giant flying ship, the environment inside had not changed. The air was mainly inert gas, which was not suitable for human survival. If humans want to set foot in it, they must prepare a sufficient number of high-pressure air cylinders instead of oxygen cylinders.

Only one of the two drones came back. The other one was not missing, but was smashed to pieces by a sudden unidentified object. Another drone not far away happened to capture this picture.

Now there is a new situation. The abnormal area within the sovereignty of Persia is not a life restricted area, but there live some creatures that are beyond the common sense of Blue Star civilization. They can not only fly, but also fly very fast. Otherwise, it would not be able to cause the loss of a drone.

In the optical picture brought back by the reconnaissance drone that luckily "survived", the abnormal area was very desolate, with large and small stone pillars standing in all kinds of strange shapes. The tallest one was hundreds of meters tall, like a tree. A big tree without branches or leaves, the thickest one is a hundred meters in diameter, looking like a high platform, the short ones are almost one or two meters high, like inconspicuous small piles of rocks, and the thinnest ones are like chopsticks, no more than a foot long. , inserted diagonally into the gravel.

Infrared thermal imaging cannot scan any thermal radiation sources of life activities, including even UFOs that crashed into another drone. The high-frame picture captured instantly can be seen as a manta ray, and the largest cross-section is like a manta ray. It is the size of a tabletop, and its long straight tail is thin and pointed, but it can flap its flat body and fly in the sky. However, judging from the abnormally accelerating flow of mist behind the opponent, it seems that the flying method is not as simple as flapping wings.

"'Adam', set up a cable communication base station, fly four reconnaissance drones, and six combat drones, and enter again."

Chen Fei did not wait for the Persian Sovereignty's investigation team to station on the airship, and took action himself.

Two armored vehicles drove out of the giant airship one after another, accompanied by more than twenty combat robots, fully armed, approaching the foggy area of ​​​​the abnormal area.

At the same time, the local nomads scattered nearby gathered towards the location of the giant airship. Fortunately, the rock and soil walls built by the ability users were able to surround the airship.

The wall is not high, only more than three meters high. An adult can climb over it with a little effort, but the consequences of climbing over the wall without permission are hard to say.

The more than two thousand meters long rock and soil wall exhausted the ability users responsible for building the isolation zone. The rock and soil wall made from local materials is not difficult. Whether it is magic or supernatural skills, it can be easily done. But it can't handle the large number and the urgency. If you take a step slower, you might let in those nomads with tough folk customs, and then the dispute will break out. This is not what everyone on the airship is willing to do. have witnessed.

Therefore, once the rules are established, violators deserve to be shot on the spot.

There are only two gaps left in the rock and soil wall that surrounds a large circle. One is aimed at the direction of the abnormal area, and the other is facing the direction of the investigation team. The former is responsible for exiting and the latter is responsible for entering. The division of labor is clear.

Vehicles, equipment and robots controlled by artificial intelligence AI do not need to consider whether humans can survive in the air environment, and directly enter the fog area.

One of the two armored vehicles with antennas on top entered the foggy area of ​​the abnormal area, and the other stayed outside. An optical cable with a total length of about one kilometer was connected between the two.

An optical fiber as thick as a hair is enough to accommodate the transmission of a large amount of data, let alone an optical cable containing more than ten optical fibers plus wavelength division multiplexing. The transmission bandwidth is obviously excessive, but the benefit is that it can be squandered unscrupulously. , used to transmit various real-time data.

This time, the drone group entering the abnormal area achieved real-time data synchronization through two wireless communication relay points physically connected by optical cables without much technical content.

The situation in the fog area was transmitted in real time to the three-dimensional holographic projection screen in front of Chen Fei's eyes and inside the bridge.
