Chapter five hundred and thirty first disappeared
Although the time was beyond expectations, those research NPCs still had to go and take a look, so we pushed open the door protected by golem guards, and the situation behind it was a little surprising.
According to the original expectations, behind this door should be a place similar to a rest area or office area, at least a place where people can live. However, when we open this door, we see a natural tunnel. The tunnel is full of naturally formed rocks. You can tell at a glance that this is definitely not a manual passage. At most, the ground is slightly flattened, and the walls and the top of the cave are naturally formed.
"There is still a channel?" Jin Qin said: "These guys really use the cunning rabbit to make the three holes perfect!"
"There's no way, who told us to want those research NPCs!" Christina said: "And don't you think this is a good thing?"
Christina's words are right. This passage is actually a good thing for us. Although the existence of this passage means that the other party has run away from another exit, if it were not for the existence of this passage, the other party would be blocked in a dead end by us. At that time, the other party would have to kill those scientific research NPCs first and make us gain nothing. But now, because there are other exits, the other party is not at the end of the road, so there is no need to burn everything. Therefore, this passage may be a good thing.
Although the other party ran away, we did not intend to give up. Those guys brought a bunch of scientific research NPCs to speed. Of course, because we were delayed for too long by the damn golem guard, the other party must have run a certain distance, but as long as the other party has not yet exceeded our tracking range, it doesn't matter even if it is far away.
In order to prevent the other party from setting up mechanisms in the passage, I put Bailang and the dart out first and let them explore the path ahead, but we ran through the entire passage in one breath without encountering any obstacles. This passage has no mechanism traps except for its particularly long length.
This passage is not horizontal, but is constantly turning back and forth in a zigzag shape, and is constantly climbing upwards, just like a stairwell. The difference is that there are no steps on the ground. When we finished running this extremely long passage comparable to a marathon track, we were completely stunned as soon as we came out.
What we see is not an underground cave, but a semi-open port. This port is still located inside the mountain, but its opening is very large. Although the dock span is very wide, the dock inside the cave is not deep. So even if we stand on the shore, we can see the blue sky and white clouds outside.
"We're here to the sea?" Radamantis asked, looking at the sky outside.
Zhenhong ran around the dock and said, "There were at least three ships parked here, but they all went out. The anchor chains on the dock were burned by magic, and there were some magic crystal powder in the warehouse."
"You guys wait here first." As I said that, I spread my wings and flew out. As soon as I left the port gate, I began to climb up. During the climbing process, I turned to see the situation of the port, and found that the port was built on an island. The area of this island is not very large. Of course, this is relative to an island. Its actual area may be equivalent to the total area of three to four capital airports and a little larger. This area is more than enough as a base.
The terrain on this island is not very complicated. The entire island is a crater about 100 meters high on the outside. A little inside is a relatively flat forest land. However, the height of this forest land is relatively high, almost more than 70 meters higher than the sea level outside, which means it is close to the height of the crater. Inside this relatively flat area is the highest mountain on the island. The altitude of this mountain may be close to 500 meters. It is much higher than the crater outside, and the result looks quite stable, unlike the kind of easy collapse.
If it is in reality, this island does not have much transformation value, because there is no water source here, but in the game, this restriction is not a problem at all. In addition, the vertical passage directly to the submarine base and the semi-natural port here, the island can be a sea fortress after a slight transformation. It can not only be used as a supply base for the navy, but also as a never-sinking aircraft port carrier. Of course, the location of this island is also good, just in the middle of the balance ocean, which can provide mid-way supply and maintenance for our guild fleet to the United States.
After observing the situation of the island, I began to continue climbing, and then summoned the giant dragons such as flying birds and lucky ones in the air.
"Huh? This place is good! Boss, are you going to have a vacation when you call us out?" Lucky this guy started to tease with slick words as soon as he came out.
I didn't joke with him. I directly assigned the task. "You guys have good eyesight, search in different directions to see if there are ships in the nearby waters. Report me immediately if you find it."
"Understand." After receiving the order, several dragons and birds immediately dispersed and flew out in different directions. The other party used a boat instead of a submarine this time, so we might be able to find each other from the air. The most important thing is that not only during the day, but also has very good light intensity. There are no clouds in the sky, and the visibility is very high. As long as you have good eyesight, things can be seen in a few hundred kilometers. I don't think the other party can run hundreds of kilometers away in such a short time.
In fact, although we were delayed by the Golem Guard for a while, it was only a dozen minutes before and after. There were so many scientific research NPCs on the other side, and it was definitely not as fast as us when we passed through the passage, and it took time to board the ship and go out to sea. By doing this, the other side could only leave the port a few minutes earlier than us. Even if it was assuming that the opponent was as fast as lightning, it was more than ten minutes earlier than us. Even if it was a Formula One rower, how far could it take for more than ten minutes? With such a good sight, we would definitely be able to post a goal.
But sometimes things don’t happen if you think there will be no problem, but you will definitely not. For example, now, after my group of demons and I flew in the sky for half an hour, we finally gave up the search and returned to the port.
The slowest ones of my magic pets and I have a flight speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, which is absolutely impossible for any ship, including hovercraft and hydrofoil boat. However, even if we fly out for half an hour at this speed, we still couldn't find any ship. No, we didn't find anything. During this period, both Xiaosan and Asuki each found a ship, but what Xiaosan and Asuki found was an Australian player's sailboat. And it was a wooden transport ship. The structure and speed of this ship were completely incompatible with the ship we were looking for. Besides, the other party left three ships. Even if the two ships that Xiaosan and Asuki found were each other's ships, where was there? What's more, what Xiaosan discovered was the Australian player's ship, and the one that Xiaosan encountered was our own ship.
After the ship in our guild was discovered, the mistress went up to inquire about the situation. Because it was his own ship, the identity identification was quickly completed. After that, the other party also said that no other ship was found within five or six hours. In other words, our tracking clues were completely cut off.
It is already a very amazing thing that the enemy left the port by ten minutes earlier than us. In fact, according to normal circumstances, the opponent can leave the port three minutes earlier than us, which is considered to be a very fast speed. But the fact is that the opponent left the port and ran away without a trace.
On the way back, I reflected on my reflection. I first began to guess that the other party was using a submarine, but then I thought it seemed unlikely. There were traces of ships leaving the post on the port. And the traces left by these ships mean that these are all ships in this ruins, and there are no ships built by players themselves. Most of these ruins warships have various problems, so it is impossible to exert their super awesome navigation ability once they get. Although diving or something is not a complicated matter, the ones that leave the port are obviously ships not submarines. Although the constructed warship we discovered before can also dive, the east needs to have an intelligent core. The other party obviously does not have the technology to start that thing, so even if the other party gets any ship, it can only be a surface ship. It is impossible to leave underwater.
In addition to the opponent's diving and leaving, one other thing I can think of is that the opponent is beyond our tracking range. However, this guess is even more impossible, because we will definitely not chase it much later than the opponent. At our speed, the opponent can still run out of our reconnaissance range. The only possibility is that the opponent's ship can run at a speed above the subsonic speed, but this is obviously unrealistic. Atlantis' thruster technology is indeed much more advanced than the technology studied by players themselves, but it is not yet at the point where the ship can run at a subsonic speed. In fact, there are only a few ships in Atlantis 200 kilometers per hour, and they are all small traffic boats without any armed or reconnaissance functions. The purpose is to test the limit speed. If even a ship specially used to test the limit speed can only run at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, then this subsonic ship obviously does not exist.
If it is unreliable to run out of the scope of reconnaissance and diving and escape, then there is only one possibility left.
"The other party has a device similar to our mirage system?" Jinni asked in surprise after hearing my words.
Christina analyzed from the side: "If the situation the president said before is OK, then this is indeed the greatest possibility. The other party must have a camouflage system on the ship, otherwise there is no reason to run out of our surveillance range so quickly."
"But doesn't the president have the ability to see through all invisibility and disguise?" Jin Coin asked.
I quickly clarified: "The only thing I can recognize is the hallucination formed through spells. For example, invisibility and other things can have a certain detection effect, but they do not have much effect on optical disguise."
The so-called optical camouflage is to refract light to change the light seen by the other party and the actual situation, thereby achieving the purpose of invisibility, disguise or fading existence. This is different from magic camouflage. Because optical camouflage will not affect the other party's vision, what the other party sees is indeed real light, but because refraction causes some illusions, general anti-invisibility detection skills are invalid for this camouflage.
Of course, optical camouflage is not omnipotent. Although this camouflage will not be affected by anti-invisibility detection techniques, the camouflage effect of this camouflage itself is very bad. Although it is not easy to detect when the distance is far away, if you look closer, you will easily find that the light in front of you has twisted marks. The feeling is like putting a very clean high-transmittance glass in front of you. Although it is transparent and hardly affects your vision, it may even make you bump into it without paying special attention. But if you pay a little attention, you will find that there is indeed a glass here.
The best effect that the optical disguise in the game can achieve at present is the same glass effect. Although it is hard to see without attention, it can be found as long as you look carefully. However... Lucky and I were both observing in the air just now. Although my dragon pets and I have abnormal vision, in order to increase our sight range, we all observed the sea surface at a height of more than 1,000 meters. We used a rough browsing method at that time. After all, the sea surface is so large that we cannot focus our attention on a small area to observe little by little. That would be too slow.
I guess the other party can run away from our noses because our investigation method failed to detect optical disguises, and it was directly missed.
No matter what, the person was lost, which means that our previous efforts were wasted. Christina remembered that she could contact Yamamoto Izumoto, but the result was just as I expected, Yamamoto Izumoto's signal could not be connected.
When we were sighing and sad that we were not able to catch those NPCs this time, we suddenly heard the headphones ringing. To be honest, it was really strange that the communicator could be connected in this place, because this place seemed to be outside the coverage of the communicator of our guild.
Although I didn't know why it suddenly turned on, I still activated the communicator and then heard the voice of the military god.
"It seems that you lost your target?"
"You already know?"
"Well, that member named Izuru Yamamoto contacted me." The Soldier said slowly.
