Chapter 309: [308] Aircraft Carrier Test, a Weapon Capable of Reversing the Frontline Situation

By the side of Lanbo Lake.

An immensely massive stone giant ship stood tall in the center of the lake, resembling a small mountain.

The height of the ship's hull that was exposed above the water surface alone exceeded forty meters, comparable to a ten-story building.

Although Zhao Qihuan, the guardian Xuan Shi, had heard about it before, seeing this scene with his own eyes still filled him with awe:

"I would never have believed before that stones could be used to build ships, let alone ones of such enormous size."

Li Xu, a mid-level Xuan Shi, looked shocked: "This visit to the Xuan Palace has truly broadened my horizons."

Zhao Qihuan glanced around and suddenly noticed something: "It seems like there are many people by the lakeside. Is something happening here?"

In the hazy drizzle, clusters of people lingered on the road that encircled Lanbo Lake.

Within the range of his vision alone, there were no fewer than two hundred Xuan Shis dressed in black robes.

And at regular intervals, there were squads of soldiers in red armor, assuming a vigilant posture.

This kind of setup clearly didn't seem like they were here to watch an aircraft carrier.

Li Xu shook his head: "I don't know."

Just as he finished speaking, a loud male voice suddenly spread across the vast lake surface: "The trial of Tianrong Hall is about to begin. Please do not linger in the airspace above the lake."

The voice repeated three times in a row.

The two Xuan Shis exchanged a glance, both wearing expressions of astonishment.

Zhao Qihuan chuckled softly, "I've noticed that within the entire Xuan Palace, there is no other organization that conducts trials as frequently as Tianrong Hall, and they always make such a big fuss."

Li Xu agreed deeply, "The reputation of Tianrong Hall is growing day by day, and it's not without reason."

In the few days they had spent in the Xuan Palace, the names they heard most frequently were Tianrong Hall and Ambassador Cheng, which was enough to explain everything.

A few seconds later, a sudden change occurred in the lake.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar was heard.

A massive wave suddenly surged up, carrying countless water splashes into the sky.

This scene was like a downpour in reverse, quite spectacular to behold.

The two Xuan Shis were shocked, "Xuan Shi!"

Because of the extraordinary fluctuations caused by the giant wave, it had reached the level of a Xuan Shi.

In other words, the trial conducted by Tianrong Hall today had actually invited a Xuan Shi to participate.

After a brief moment, a water giant over fifty meters tall emerged from the lake, wielding a pair of massive arms and quickly drilling out from the water's surface.

"Splash!"

A downpour began in the airspace above the lake.

The extraordinary fluctuations became even more apparent, and the oppressive force it gave off grew stronger.

The crowd gathered by the lakeside became visibly restless.

"They're here!"

"It's starting!"

Such voices could be heard drifting through the rain curtain.

Zhao Qihuan involuntarily took a step back, his face filled with astonishment, "What kind of trial is this?"

Li Xu didn't answer; he didn't know the answer either.

A few more seconds passed.

A loud and powerful male voice echoed once again: "Vice Hall Master Ming, please attack the aircraft carrier."

"Alright!"

The voice emitted from the giant water figure had a unique sense of roundness and clarity.

Li Xu blurted out, "This is Vice Hall Master Xuan Shi of the 'Tianjing Hall'."

The so-called "Tianjing Hall" was one of the important institutions of the Xuan Palace, dedicated to eradicating the organization of the foreign gods.

The hall consisted of one main hall master and two vice hall masters, all of whom were powerful Xuan Shi. This high-level "configuration" was enough to prove the high status of the Tianjing Hall.

Zhao Qihuan showed a look of anticipation, "The Tianrong Hall can really make a big impact!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the giant water figure slid more than ten meters in an instant and swung its arm with force.

"Boom!"

Another thunderous sound.

A wave over fifty meters high surged towards the aircraft carrier like a landslide.

Two Xuan Shi held their breath as they watched.

If measured by weight, the weight of this water alone exceeded ten thousand tons.

The power of the Xuan Shi was truly terrifying!

Two seconds later.

The impact occurred.

"Boom! Boom!"

The thunderous sound rolled.

The bow of the stone giant ship was instantly pressed down by a large section.

The rushing water roared and swept over several hundred meters of the deck, pouring down from the other end.

Around the large deck, waterfalls of water immediately hung.

Soon after.

The bow of the aircraft carrier floated up again.

The surface of the ship's body, covered in a dusty gray, had no cracks or peeling stones, and no visible damage.

Obviously.

This stone giant ship easily withstood this massive wave.

Zhao Qihuan felt slightly surprised, "The aircraft carrier is more sturdy than I imagined."

A faint light flashed in Li Xu's right eye, and he once again used the secret technique of the Xuan Eye to observe carefully.

After examining the hull, he said, "The stone walls are at least eight meters thick, and there are many reinforced structures inside."

Zhao Qihuan nodded, "Stone is inherently harder than wood, so it's no wonder it can withstand the giant waves."

At this moment.

Another wave came.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Three consecutive waves crashed into the giant ship, causing the lake surface to be turned upside down.

The aircraft carrier withstood the severe test and still stood firmly on the lake.

Only at the most heavily impacted area of the bow, there was a slightly inconspicuous crack, no deeper than a palm.

After a moment.

The mysterious energy fluctuation flashed by, and the crack silently closed up.

A deep and loud male voice resounded again, "Thank you, Deputy Hall Master Ming, for your assistance!"

"No problem."

With this voice, the giant water figure directly dissipated.

And thus, the experiment came to an end.

Zhao Qihuan suddenly remembered a question, "By the way, why did Tianrong Hall conduct such an experiment on an aircraft carrier?"

Li Xu showed a thoughtful expression, "I carefully read the information from the special envoy. He has always been a far-sighted person and wouldn't do something without reason."

As for the Hall Master Xuan Shi of Tianrong Hall, the two of them directly ignored him.

Everyone understood that this must be the plan proposed by the special envoy, and the female Xuan Shi was most likely just a "gofer."

A flash of insight came to Zhao Qihuan's mind, "I understand!"

Li Xu also exclaimed, "It must be for war!"

Anyone who becomes a Xuan Shi is not a fool and immediately understood the reason.

The two of them said in unison, "The aircraft carrier is prepared for warfare in the other realm."

The other realm is a water world filled with endless oceans. This giant ship needs to adapt to such an environment, which is why Tianrong Hall conducted this experiment.

And from the results of the experiment, the giant ship has considerable practical value.

Especially since its materials are readily available stones, the cost is extremely low, making large-scale production entirely possible.

Zhao Qihuan clicked his tongue, "This is really a grand strategy!"

Li Xu nodded, sincerely admiring, "The special envoy really dares to think. He even cares about warfare in the other realm."

At this moment, a clear voice floated over.

"Zhao Xuan Shi and Li Xuan Shi from Taian Small Spirit Realm, old friends meet again. Please come over for a chat!"

It was Cheng Han's voice.

The two Xuan Shi couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Xu reacted first and replied loudly, "Special Envoy, we will come right away."

The two of them immediately flew into the air and headed towards the aircraft carrier in the center of the lake.

Countless gazes drifted over, locking onto these two Xuan Shi.

Zhao Qihuan sensed the gazes and suddenly felt that this was a small highlight in his life.

In the decades since his promotion to Xuan Shi, this was the first time he had been noticed by so many Xuan Shi.

One minute later.

Zhao Qihuan and Li Xu landed on the spacious deck covered in water stains and saw Cheng Han's figure.

Beside him stood an icy beauty, standing side by side with him.

It was the Hall Master Xuan Shi, Lan Jiayao.

The two Xuan Shi were stunned for a moment, quickly saluting, "Greetings, Hall Master Lan."

Lan Jiayao was quite polite in her words, "Hello to both of you!"

Li Xu felt a sense of surprise and even more astonishment in his heart.

He originally thought that there would likely be conflicts between the special envoy and the female Xuan Shi.

But this supposedly proud female Xuan Shi was unexpectedly so polite to him, a mere Xuan Shi. It was clearly because of the special envoy.

If there were really conflicts, how could she be like this?

Zhao Qihuan also found it deeply unbelievable.

A thought involuntarily popped into his mind: Would the esteemed Palace Master Xuan Shi willingly serve under a low-level Xuan Shi as their leader?

After a brief exchange of pleasantries,

Cheng Han smiled and said, "Since the two of you happen to be here, why don't we observe the next experiment together?"

Zhao Qihuan quickly nodded, his tone cautious, "I would be honored to obey your command."

Lan Jiayao turned her head and shouted, "Get ready!"

Li Xu noticed this small detail and immediately had a thought: Why does the Palace Master seem like a subordinate, while the Xuan Shi seems like a superior?

Soon,

"Buzz~"

The deck trembled slightly.

Three stone chambers slowly rose, and each room was unexpectedly equipped with three metal fighter jets.

Li Xu glanced at them and curiously asked, "Are these the 'Battle Eagles'?"

The so-called "Battle Eagles" were what the servants of the Xuan Palace called these things when the first fighter jet was created.

But today, no one considered the Battle Eagle to be a toy for special envoys anymore.

Cheng Han nodded and said, "These are the latest models of Battle Eagles, which have undergone more than a dozen improvements."

Each improvement was the result of the All-Knowing Eye's deduction, and their performance would take a leap forward.

With the powerful manufacturing capabilities of a large number of craftsmen and the formidable ability of the spirit oak demon, such rapid iterations were possible.

Compared to the first generation, the new Battle Eagles finally installed a medium-sized Kemo internal combustion engine, no longer relying on primitive pedal power.

Although the power was less than three hundred horsepower, it was still a leap forward.

Before long,

As many as twenty-four fighter jets were pushed onto the deck by the soldiers of the Red Armor Army.

The first batch of trained pilot soldiers quickly sat in the cockpit.

Lan Jiayao watched this scene and said, "The 'Flying Sword Sharks' from the other world have caused us great trouble..."

Both Xuan Shi were startled when they heard the term "other world."

So all of this was prepared for the other world!

The ambition of the Tianrong Hall was truly immense!

The female Xuan Shi continued, "The Flying Sword Sharks usually gather in groups of several thousand and fly into the sky to attack the 'Heavenly Leaf Lotus' gathering points."

"Almost every gathering point is attacked at least ten times a day, especially at night."

"If they encounter a Xuan Boat, the Flying Sword Sharks will scatter and dive into the water to avoid the attack. The Xuan Boat can only kill a small portion of them."

"The worst part is that there are simply too many of these things, and the number of Xuan Boats is severely insufficient to cope with them."

The tone of the female Xuan Shi fluctuated, "As long as the Battle Eagles can keep up with the Flying Sword Sharks, they will be of great use!"

Cheng Han nodded lightly, "I hope the results of the experiment are good."

Originally, he expected that the fighter jets would not be ready for actual combat for several years.

But he didn't expect that there would be a constant stream of threats from the other world, and this thing would be useful so quickly.

The eyes of the two Xuan Shi looking at the Battle Eagles became extremely hot.

They naturally understood that the Battle Eagles, which ordinary soldiers could pilot, could greatly change the difficult situation on the front lines.

From this perspective, this was a key weapon that could reverse the tide of battle.

The significance it represented was extraordinary!

Li Xu glanced at the female Xuan Shi and then at the fighter jets, whispering to himself, "So that's how it is."

At this moment, he finally understood why the Palace Master Xuan Shi had taken on the posture of having Cheng, the special envoy, as their leader.

Just based on this unimaginable achievement, any Xuan Shi would be willing to hold Cheng, the special envoy, in the palm of their hand.
