Chapter 19 Infiltration
After I was guaranteed, I stopped caring about others and focused on the huge moving city approaching above my head.
To be fair, Traveler City is quite huge, especially as a mobile city. At least in terms of area, the big guy here may have surpassed the Aisinger Mobile Fortress, but the specific performance of the two is incomparable.
The Aisinger Mobile Fortress is a flying city. The technical difficulty of the giant anti-gravity system is far greater than that of the underwater navigation system. There is no comparison between the two. In addition, the Aisinger Mobile Fortress needs to cope with strong winds and low air pressure when flying in high altitudes. Therefore, the structural design mainly requires airtightness and expansion resistance. The Traveler City is an underwater city. It needs to fight against water pressure rather than internal expansion force. Moreover, relatively speaking, the Traveler City needs higher torsion resistance. After all, the density of water is much higher than that of the air, so the water flow can generate higher local pressure compared to the air flow, which determines that the Traveler City may bear huge twisting forces at some moments, such as
If the main frame of the city is not strong enough, it is likely to cause fractures. However, on the other hand, although higher torsion resistance is required, the building materials of Traveler City are easier to find than those of Esinger Mobile Fortress. After all, Esinger Mobile Fortress is a flying city and has requirements for material strength and density, while Traveler City does not need to consider weight issues at all. Another huge difference is that Esinger Mobile Fortress needs to fight against pressure changes caused by frequently changing airflows, so the fatigue resistance of building materials is very central. Relatively speaking, although the underwater environment is more pressure, its stability is much better, so the fatigue resistance is not high.
Overall, the design requirements of the two have their own characteristics, and it cannot be said that each has more advanced technology. However, I think at least in terms of power, Traveler City is not as good as our Aisinger Mobile Fortress.
As the Traveler City approached quickly, the seabed around us began to vibrate, and some small pieces of mud and sand jumped up directly on the seabed. Then the surrounding seabed was stirred into chaos. As a flying city, Eisinger's mobile fortress could still cause the neutral position in the nearby area to cause some unstable and small objects to jump around on the ground. As the underwater city with a larger weight, the Traveler City was naturally even more exaggerated. If the seabed was not far stronger than the ground, I would have doubted whether the ground would crack around and then spewed out a lot of magma.
Although the mud and sand that was raised by the unstable gravity field affected my vision, it had a more serious impact on the enemy. No matter what, my target was a city. Compared to me, the Traveler City was obviously more likely to be discovered, so the mud and sand could become my cover, but it blocked the other party's vision.
Hiding in the mud and sand, watching the huge figure gradually approaching my head, even I couldn't help but my heartbeat was a little bit awkward, but this impact would not have much impact on my emotions. I was still standing there calmly waiting for it to reach my head.
Just like the Esinger Moving Fortress looks slow to move, but in fact the speed is not bad, the speed of Traveler City does not seem to be fast. But in fact it is not slow. Although it is indeed slower than our underwater motorcycles, the movement speed of Traveler City has exceeded the speed of walking for most people in time, and is almost the same as the speed of jogging for people.
After just waiting for a while, the huge city finally completely covered the area above my head. From here, I could clearly see the countless searchlights sweeping around at the bottom of the city. At the bottom of this huge city, in addition to the protruding searchlights, there are many high and low undulating structures.
From such a close distance, I found that the construction process of Traveler City did not seem to be very good, at least it cannot be compared with the Esinger Mobile Fortress. I don’t know if it is because of the difficulty of underwater construction. The bottom of Traveler City is not a whole piece. Although the shell of Esinger Mobile Fortress is not a whole piece of material, at least each piece of our area is very large, and after splicing, it is completed with seamless connection. So although we know that the shell of Esinger Mobile Fortress is not a whole piece, we can’t find this fact when you actually touch or look. The only thing you can do in Esinger Mobile Fortress
The only thing I found outside is not the whole piece, but only the movable doors, as well as detectors or weapon systems that extend outside the city. The main body of the city still looks quite flat. However, the bottom of the Traveler City is one piece higher and one piece lower. There are many places where you can see very obvious traces of welding of large armor plates, giving people the feeling of being patched. It would be fine if you only have one or two patches. However, there are such patches everywhere under the Traveler City, or the entire bottom of the game is made up of patches. The whole feeling is like rags.
Looking at the tattered bottom, I could only shake my head helplessly, and then began to look for possible entrances.
Although I have strong combat power, it is obviously difficult to destroy such a large thing from the outside. Even if Black Flame is released, it may be difficult. If the other party finds out the attack, it starts to escape and abandons the original route, it may have an impact on our subsequent combat arrangements. After all, I cannot be sure that you two scouts who stay outside will definitely leave guidance signals. If they are discovered, I will not hold on to Traveler City again, then all my efforts will be wasted.
Based on the above considerations, I finally chose to enter the city for destruction. No matter what, the inside is relatively fragile, as long as I get in, I have a way to destroy it. Speaking of which, I don’t want to waste it. If I don’t feel sorry for money, just throw out a few liquefied magic crystal steam storage tanks after entering the city, and you can definitely easily make a few holes in the outer shell of Traveler City. Even if it doesn’t want to get stuck, it will not do so.
I was concentrating on finding the entrance, but I didn't expect that the entrance would come to the door. Not far from the right front of my head, a metal plate that looked like a patch suddenly rotated. After turning a few times, I suddenly bounced out, and an entrance was opened, and there was light inside it.
Speaking of which, although the patch armor of Traveler City is a bit ugly, I didn’t expect it to have a camouflage effect. At least I didn’t think that the patch would be a door before, after all, this kind of patch is almost everywhere at the bottom of the city.
It would be easy to know where the door was, but now the door suddenly opened. Either something was about to come out or something was about to go in, so I didn't plan to go up and check it out immediately. Sure enough, less than two seconds after the door was opened, two black figures fell from the opened door.
The figure should be two brigade soldiers. They were all riding underwater motorcycles in the style of brigades. After leaving the hole, they immediately accelerated toward the end of the city. After they left, the door automatically closed. Then they rotated and tightened again and completely closed the entrance.
I looked around and confirmed that no other people appeared before I left the hiding sand layer. After I had no cover, I was still quite obvious in the water. So I rushed to the bottom of Traveler City as quickly as possible, and then moved carefully to the entrance I saw before, climbing over to the entrance I had seen before.
After reaching the entrance, I carefully checked the place. The metal plate covering the entrance was a thin metal plate that was not regular, close to a rectangular shape, but not very regular. You can see with your eyes that one side is long and the other is short. The metal plate has no fixed connection with the bottom of the ship, which means that the mechanism that makes it rotate is the only connecting body.
Since this thing is opened by rotation, I naturally can only turn it in the direction of opening. However, after trying it hard for a few times, I found that there was a locking mechanism inside and it could not rotate at all. This result was as expected. I just tried it with a lucky mentality before. Since it didn't work, I didn't work much and directly took out the method I was best at - brute force cracking.
The thickness of this metal plate itself is not high, and when it comes to Yongheng, there is no defense at all. I easily cut off a circular piece along the opening, just enough to let me get in. However, after entering, I found that there seemed to be a door here, but the difference from the previous downward door was that there was a manual handle on this door, but I still re-enclosed the entrance I had just cut out. Then I started to open the pressure door.
As an underwater city, Traveler City must have a large number of anti-leakage designs, so I must seal the entrance. Otherwise, once this door is opened, once the pressure inside the city is unbalanced, it will inevitably trigger emergency measures. I have a high probability of being discovered at that time, so it is better to seal it directly in advance to reduce the possibility of being discovered.
In fact, when I opened the door in front of me, I found that what I had done before seemed a bit unnecessary. Because there was actually a door behind this pressure door, but since that's the case, there was no need to worry about it. Close the door under me. Then open the door above my head, then swam upwards and turned around to close the door.
I closed the door I just entered and observed the surrounding environment. It turned out that this place seemed to be a hangar. I was still in the water, but there was light on my head. From here, I could see that the water surface was less than four meters away from me, and there was still a circle of underwater motorcycles parked on the water surface.
Carefully approached the edge of this huge pool, and then hid under several underwater motorcycles. Then I pulled out a ghost bug from the insect hole on my wrist and placed it on the pool wall. As soon as the ghost bug touched the pool wall, it immediately began to climb up the metal pool wall, and then climbed onto one of the underwater motorcycles to observe the situation nearby.
Originally, most people would stick their heads out to see the situation outside, but because my Dragon Soul suit now has a long feather on the top of my head, if I probe the situation outside by myself, and my eyes have not yet reached out of the water, the people on it will see a standing feather. What's the difference between this one standing out and shouting that I am an invader? Moreover, the worse thing is that it is underwater now, and I still need the helmet sealing effect, so I can't take off my helmet, so I can only release the ghost beetle to help me observe the situation. However, it's better to use ghost bugs, at least it's safer than I stretch my head. Even if there is no hair on my head, my head is much more conspicuous than the ghost bugs, so it's obviously safer to let the ghost bugs go up than I do.
Through the ghostworm's vision, I quickly saw what was happening on the shore.
This room is indeed a hangar, and it is not very big. The place where I am is a pool, and I don’t know the length and width, but it should be more than 20 meters. There is a circle of metal platforms around the pool, and the grid design is used on it. This ground grid in the entrance inspection area of Duludu should have a similar function, which is to prevent too many from entering the city.
There are many underwater motorcycles parked on special brackets on that grid platform, and there are also many messy things nearby. Some of them look like tools for repairs, and they may be equipment for maintenance. In addition, there is a door in each diagonal position of this room, which looks like a pressure door, and there are three fishmen standing next to one of the doors.
The fishman is not a human with a fish head. The facial features of these guys are actually not much different from those of humans. If you want to say the difference, one is that the bridge of the nose is much longer than that of humans, but it is not straight and straight. Instead, it is flat on the face. Their eyes are much larger than humans, and there are no whites, and the entire eyeball is black. Finally, the ears of these guys are not ears, but fish fins, and the gill slits are behind them, which are used for underwater breathing. Of course, if you look down, you will find that these guys have webbed fingers, which is almost no different from humans.
The three fishmen seemed to be quarreling. One of them was fierce, and the other two occasionally fought back, but they were basically scolded. It can be seen that their status was unequal.
There was no one else in the room except these three guys, and the three of them were concentrating on arguing. One of them was still facing me, and the other two were facing me sideways, and neither looked in this direction. Since the position was so good, I wouldn't waste it. I quietly poked my upper body out of the water along the wall of the pond. Although the hair was standing tall, it was just a hair after all, not very conspicuous, so the people there still didn't notice me.
After successfully putting my hands on the pool wall, I directly raised my hand to aim at the guy with my back to me, and used my left hand to tweak the adjuster. After setting the strength, my fingers moved, and a soft sound was heard. The guy suddenly shook and stopped moving.
Among the two people who were quarreling, the scolded guy found that the companion he was scolded with seemed a little wrong, so he wanted to ask, but as soon as he turned his head, he heard a thud. And it was quite obvious, followed by a plop and falling. Before he could react, he felt his head hurt and he knew nothing.
I climbed ashore and walked to the door, looked at the three fishmen on the ground. The first guy who was shot was still standing there. A short crossbow arrow shot through the back of his head and penetrated directly into his mouth. As long as he opened his mouth, the person in front of him could see a sharp arrow, but unfortunately his mouth was closed. The second guy who was shot was the very arrogant guy. He was much more vigilant than the one here. When he found that the situation was not right, he immediately noticed me. Unfortunately, my movements were too fast. As soon as he turned his head, an arrow stabbed it directly from his eye sockets, and half an arrow appeared from behind his head. Since then, the guy reacted obviously a little slow. Everyone around him died and he didn't realize what was going on. Finally, I shot through my temple with an arrow and died instantly.
After opening the Phoenix Dragon Space, I threw three corpses in and directly got some water from the side to wash away a small amount of blood on the metal mesh floor. Then I carefully turned my hand and opened the door beside them.
This is also a pressure door, which requires turning the handle to open. After passing, it turns out that it is only a two-meter-long passage just like in the water. There is a second door in front of the passage. After opening the door, I did not rush to go there, but threw the ghost insect that was released before.
Through the ghost bug's vision, you can see that this has become a considerable space, with many underwater motorcycles parked, and there are some relatively large vehicles, which look a bit like a turtle without a head. Of course, there is no tortoise shell on the back, but a flat piece. Obviously, the manufacturing technology of Traveler City is more than enough to deal with these small equipment, and there is no need to be made into a beggar's outfit.
There is also a large pool here just like the one I came here, but the area is at least ten times larger than that. Moreover, this pool is not rectangular, but in the shape of the character Wang. The intersection point in the middle of the character Wang is very wide, allowing large ships to turn around inside.
There are many transporters in this room, and there are naturally more people. Moreover, the platform here is not one layer, but divided into several layers. The floor where I am now is the ground layer. You can go directly to the edge of the pool by walking forward. There are a metal corridor built along the walls more than four meters high on the web, with many messy pipes on it, which are even more complicated than spider webs. At least the spider webs are regular, but these pipes are crisscrossed and dense. I don’t know how they were designed at the beginning, nor do I know how to make it a little regular.
There is another platform three or four meters above this platform. There are also some pipes and switches on it, but the number is slightly smaller. Upwards are two small platforms, not a whole circle, only two small sections. In addition, there is a vertical metal staircase on one of the sections, but the upper end of the staircase is suspended and there is nothing. However, I soon learned the use of this staircase, because I found a large staircase spanning the room above my head to lift equipment on a turtle boat. Judging from the height, the staircase was prepared for the staircase driver.
There were at least one hundred people in the entire room, and they were all doing everything. They walked around and were filled with people and the roar of machines, which was very noisy.
After a brief observation, I directly asked Emmenis to add an illusion to me and simulate me into a rare species of fishman here. I saw three of these fishmans in this room. The difference between them and other fishman is that there is a gem on their heads that looks like a third eye embedded in the forehead bone.
The reason why they became like this is mainly because I found that these three people seem to have a high status here. All the fishmen passing by them have to say hello or nod and salute to them, while the three of them do not respond at all, and others do not seem to care. This shows that the three of them have a relatively high status, at least they are foreman.
After becoming like this, I walked out of the room with a big swagger. Anyway, the ability of the race under the sea to fight illusions is very bad. This is probably related to the underwater environment. After all, the seabed is basically pitch black, and everyone mainly relies on the ability to position it like sonar. Therefore, the optical illusion becomes more useless. However, because optical illusions are not very useful here, the race under the sea also lacks countermeasures. It is like an alien race without optical vision that will not invent sunglasses no matter how developed the technology is. Who can study the things that cannot be used at all?
With the help of this high-level fishman image, I easily got into the crowd. After seeing me, the fishmen who were walking around me did not doubt me and saluted me. I did not respond like the three high-level fishmans, and the low-level fishman around me did not respond at all.
Because I didn't seem to have any problems with my identity, I didn't rush to go out, but walked around the room, mainly observing the undersea transporters. I roughly confirmed the technical level of Traveler City to a certain extent. Even if I finally settled into such a city, I definitely need to search. So it's not bad to know it in advance.
While I was patrolling around, a high-level fishman also happened to pass by my neighbor. I was still nervous at first, but when the other party saw me coming, he didn't react at all. He just nodded to me and passed by. I nodded as well, but the other party had no intention of doubting at all.
After this, I even confirmed that this appearance was extremely deceptive, so I began to swagger around and investigate.
Because this room is big, it is impossible to have only one door. I checked all the doors based on my identity. Several of them were small transport cabins similar to the cabin I just sneaked into. I guess that kind of place is like small doors opened on some main doors. It is mainly to facilitate the entry and exit of a small number of people without opening the door, and the main door will only open in special circumstances.
In addition to the cabin that is convenient for people to enter and exit, I also found some places around me that are similar to the control room. There were fishmen in those control rooms. When I first found such a room, I was afraid that the other party would suspect it. Who knew that as soon as I entered, the guys stood up from the seats in a panic. I pretended to reach out and pressed it down twice, and the fishmen sat back to their positions and started to work hard.
I stood behind them and looked at the console they operated. There were also many pipes under these things, and the console was not the kind of simple buttons, but long-handled handles. It was quite difficult to pull those handles according to their operation.
Because I was afraid of attracting attention, I didn't dare to stay in the first room. I also looked at the next few rooms and left. The result was that the control platform in this place seemed to be not electrically controlled, but some kind of mechanical transmission or hydraulic control method. Although I didn't look at those pipes carefully, the results of scanning the mental field showed that those might be steam pipes and the pressure was very high.
Based on these information, I found that the power technology in this place seems to be worse than the Duluo level, and many things are steam-powered. To be honest, this conclusion confused me myself. This is underwater, and steam-power means that it needs to be burned and heated. Water steam is also generated. In the water environment at the bottom of the sea, let alone the combustion problem, even if you can find special items that can burn underwater, it would be too troublesome to isolate the water out and heat it. It would be okay if you knew the direction of development from the beginning, but without knowing the direction of development, who would be bored to do such things under the water?
"What a strange design!" I sighed myself and still couldn't find the doubts in my heart. So I decided to leave this room and go outside to take a look.
The previous exploration has already made me know the location of the passage, but there are quite a few exits here. However, I can only find a direction toward the end of the city and leave. Here I need to say that Traveler City is different from Eisinger Mobile Fortress. Eisinger Mobile Fortress is actually no distinction between front and back, and in fact it does not even have left and right. Eisinger Mobile Fortress is a square of equal length on four sides, and its weapons on all four sides are basically the same. Except for the slightly fewer weapons in the water port due to the waterproof gate, there is no difference at all. As for the direction of movement
What's more, this is not a problem. The drive devices at the bottom of the Esinger Mobile Fortress are separated. Each ** unit has its own rotating chassis, and the steering mechanism of the entire city is built on a huge rotating platform. That is to say, the Esinger Mobile Fortress can actually walk horizontally and backwards, and drive whatever you want. In addition to considering the inertia problems caused by the inertia caused by the inertia caused by the excessive mass of the city itself, the direction of the Esinger Mobile Fortress is not limited to the direction of the Esinger Mobile Fortress. However, Traveler City has this limitation.
The overall shape of Traveler City seems to be an irregular oblong shape. If you want to find an object to describe it, you can refer to the shape of the cockroach. The appearance of Traveler City is like a giant cockroach, but the bottom is flatter. In addition, it is basically the same as a cockroach.
Because of this oblong shell, it is certainly impossible for Traveler City to have no front and back. In fact, its front and back are clearly divided, and I thought there were two things on the head of the city that were protruding out like a cockroach's tentacle. In addition, there are special external thrusters at the tail of this Traveler City, and there is no such thing on the head.
My main task is to stop Traveler City and then facilitate the Duludu army to find it, so although I entered here for the first time and didn’t know the way, I at least remember the direction. Since I want to paralyze its propulsion, I naturally have to go near the propulsion. So it is definitely correct to go backwards.
After coming out of that huge cabin, I did not rashly continue running forward, but still sent a large number of ghost bugs to hit me in front of the station. The most important thing is to pay attention to the situation of the personnel outside. Although the fishman with crystals on his head has a high status in the work area just now, who knows their true identity? What if they are not allowed to go anywhere else? It's like if you see a mayor in a city and everyone around you respects him very much, and then you pretend to be him and go to the national military base. That's not to look for it.
Dead? Different areas will always have different access authority. It does not mean that if you have a high status, you will definitely enter the areas where people with low status enter. Important places like the National Nuclear Weapon Base also have small soldiers. Even if you are the mayor and governor, you have a much higher status than a small soldier, but if you shouldn't enter that kind of place, you can't enter. I'm just afraid that this kind of fishman with crystals on your head is a technical officer who specializes in boat repairs. He has a high status in the maintenance area, but it will be troublesome if you run to a place you shouldn't enter.
Fortunately, my caution was not in vain. Outside, I didn't see the fishman with a crystal on his head. On the contrary, there were a large number of ordinary fishmans. In addition, I also found a very special existence in the area outside. These guys look similar to humans, and regardless of men and women, they are all handsome men and beautiful women. These guys are wearing light gold light armor, which looks gorgeous, and there are many crystal parts on the armor, which looks very beautiful.
There are very few people in the outside area, and they are raised their heads high when walking, as if their eyes are growing in their nostrils. Unlike the fishmen with crystals on their heads before, although these people seem to have a very high status, they seem to have not respect but fear, because as long as they see their locals along the way, they will immediately retreat to both sides of the road and bow their heads and stand, until they pass by, and they dare to return to normal, and their faces are still filled with fear.
Although I also want to pretend to be such a person, I still feel uncomfortable thinking about it, so I had to turn into an ordinary fishman first, and then go out and secretly catch a fishman who has seen the group of handsome men and beautiful women before and pull it to a hidden place to start interrogation.
Of course, the will of ordinary fishmen is not very strong. It simply allows me to get the information I need. The group of beautiful guys are actually the mermaid tribe. The mermaid tribe is the mermaid tribe, and they are completely different concepts from the mermaid tribe. Although their race names are just reversed by two words. However, the strength of the two races is a thousand miles apart.
According to the explanation of this ordinary fishman, the mermaids belong to one of the highest-ranking groups in the ruling class here. The political form used by Traveler City is an ancient parliamentary system. It is a bit similar to the Senate. Traveler City has a city lord, but in my opinion it is more appropriate to call the king. This king occupies a seat in the Senate, and its status is equivalent to the chief senate. Of course, it is not the same as the head of Hitler.
Although the chief senator has a high status, he is not a one-man show. At least he cannot control many things. Compared with ordinary senators, his only advantage is that he has the right to vote for incomplete veto and the right to vote for one to ten. That incomplete veto means that it is not mainly the resolution passed by other senators, and because it is rare to pass unanimously, the chief senator actually has the right to vote for one to vote. In addition, the senatorial right to vote for one to ten means that one to vote for the general senator is equal to ten votes of the general senator. Because there are actually only thirty-three people in the Senate, the vote of the chief senator can actually directly decide whether the resolution is passed.
According to the fishman, this city lord, the Chief Senate, is a mermaid, and in addition to the head of the senate, there are eight seats for the mermaid tribe. According to the voting right of one to ten, it means that the mermaid tribe actually has eighteen votes in the senate, and other races can only vote twenty-four votes if they add one. As long as the mermaid tribe wins over a certain race, they can directly obtain more than half of the support. Moreover, the veto power of the chief veteran is also ruthless, and the bill that is unfavorable to their mermaids cannot be passed at all.
In addition to these mermaids, it is said that there are eight races in the remaining twenty-four senators in this senate. Besides the fishman race only has two seats and the sea beast race has four seats, the remaining races are three seats in each group. The result of this is that the mermaids occupy an absolute leadership position here. In fact, it is not exaggerated to look at this alone. When I knew the population ratio here, I realized how exaggerated this position was. Because, according to the introduction of this ordinary fishman, the actual number of mermaids in the Traveler City is less than one percent of the total population of the city, while the fishman with the least seats actually accounts for more than 70% of the population here.
"The strong race is indeed a strong race wherever it goes, and even if it becomes a minority, it is still as strong as a strong race!"
After sighing at the situation here, I directly chose to transform into a mermaid, because I just learned from this fishman that the total population of Traveler City is close to 1.5 million, which means that the number of mermaids is at least more than 10,000. At this scale, of course, it is impossible for all mermaids to know each other, so they don’t have to worry about pretending to be discovered. Moreover, their status determines that these mermaids can basically walk sideways here, and no one dares to stop them.
Originally, after interrogating the required information, the tongue should be solved according to the rules to avoid causing trouble, but I didn't do that, because under Ling's spiritual magic, I actually learned an unexpected message from this guy, that is, this person was actually a member of the resistance organization.
The fishermen, which accounts for more than 70% of the total population, are the lowest-ranking races here, and they do the most and eat the least. It is not surprising that there is a resistance organization in this status. I just didn’t expect that I would encounter one of them so by chance. In fact, I was able to ask about the information before because of this guy’s identity, and ordinary fishermen would not know so much information.
"Resistance Organization? It seems that you can use it." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
