Chapter 167 Airship Test...

The breeze was slow and the sun was shining.

In the sun, the airboat was shining brightly.Outside the metal armor, several soldiers hung on tow ropes and carried oxygen buckets, and used shovel steel brushes to clean the ice.The clouds floated by under their feet, and all the sights were the sea of ​​clouds, rolling and undulating, layer upon layer, as beautiful as a fairyland.

On the ground, ordinary people can only see the shadows of giants floating above the clouds. The unknown fear makes them panic, but the news paper that follows tells them what joy is!

The navy is independently organized and airship combat troops!

This is a new force that quickly became famous across the sea in just one week.

In 1517, the sea was turbulent. Following the confirmation of the existence of the sky island, the navy established an airship unit to cooperate with the newly formed g10 branch to patrol the sea and fight crime!

Before that, whether it was a warship, a caravan or a pirate ship, sailing on great sea routes would be greatly disturbed by the weather. Unpredictable weather was the biggest disaster. Accidents often occurred to ships going to sea, even naval ships With the record of ship crashes and deaths, traffic can be said to be very inconvenient.

As a result, on the Great Sea Route, except for the waters near the naval "g" series branch bases, every household must beware of pirates at all times.Because even if an accident occurs, the navy cannot arrive in time.

But it's different with the airboat force!

They do not take the sea route, but the empty road!

Going above the clouds, completely ignoring the storms on the sea surface, you can quickly support and treat the sea as nothing!

Such an incredible way of movement made the pirates terrified. In the past, they only used to guard against the navy coming from the sea. Even a small sailing ship would have a chance to escape if they were far away.But now the navy moves directly from the air and is even more concealed. Even if they find the enemy, the speed of navigation is not as fast as flying!

Corresponding to the pirates' panic and anxiety, is the peace in the hearts of the civilians.

In this world, the law and order of the sea is not maintained by the owners of all countries, but the navy all over the sea!People are also more willing to trust the navy!

With the airship force, the faster the navy sends troops to clear the pirates, the safer they will be.

Therefore, the emergence of the airship unit brings not only the witness and deterrence at the technological level, but also the dawn of hope and rebirth!

However, the current problem is that the airship force is still in the experimental stage and the number is far from enough.

This relieved the pirates and the civilians became more and more urgent. At the same time, it also ushered the Navy in a new wave of joining the army...

"Get on the boat and fight the pirates!"

Malinfod can hear the recruits chanting slogans every day.

...

Above the clouds, on the flagship of the airship unit in the center, a white coat researcher reported and pushed the door in, came to the control room, and said to Ron.

"Lieutenant General Ron! The stratospheric flight test has been completed and we can descend!"

At this moment, Ron was standing behind the windshield, looking at the magnificent sea of ​​clouds ahead with a calm expression.

"understood……"

He nodded, and then said to the rest of the control room: "Notify everyone to be prepared, and the descent will begin in three minutes, and the height will drop to 5000 meters! After reaching the predetermined height, the maintenance personnel will check and repair immediately, and the medical team will be on standby at any time!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers got the order, and someone immediately picked up the phone worm and announced Ron's order.

Upon seeing this, the researcher hurried to an empty seat, took out an oxygen mask and put it on.

The internal oxygen circulation system composed of empty island shellfish such as empty shells and blow shells allows them to worry about insufficient oxygen even at the altitude of the stratosphere, but the impact of altitude changes is not limited to oxygen concentration.From 18,000 meters to 5,000 meters, as a frail scientific researcher, he can't resist as hard as this group of soldiers who have experienced the sharpening and selection of thunder and lightning stimulating equipment.

"Notice, all fleets pay attention, the altitude has dropped to 5000 meters!"

"Notice, all fleets pay attention, the altitude has dropped to 5000 meters!"

The instructions were repeated three times in a row, and a few minutes later, the main body of the empty boat in the lead tilted forward and slowly sank into the sea of ​​clouds.An airboat behind it followed its movements, like a group of dolphins swimming in the sea, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.The tumbling clouds are like stirred sea water, turbulent, magnificent, and the scene is breathtaking!

"Height...17000 meters, 16000 meters,...10000 meters...8000 meters, 7000 meters, 6000 meters..."

"5000 meters! Reach the predetermined height and move forward in parallel!"

"5000 meters! Reach the predetermined height and move forward in parallel!"

Om... crunch...!!

As the altitude dropped, there was a rhythmic mechanical tremor from the airboat, as if the airboat they depended on was about to collapse at any time.It wasn't until the altitude dropped to 8000 meters that it started to decelerate at a constant speed, and the vibration gradually weakened.When the height stopped at 5,000 meters, the soldiers in the control room heaved a sigh of relief and slumped on their seats.

Without experience, no one can guarantee that the airship will not disintegrate in the stratosphere.The joy of surviving and the unexpected stability of the empty boat relaxes their tight nerves, their muscles are soft and they sit paralyzed, like a salted fish.

"Nothing! How did you pass the psychological test?!"

But knowing is the same thing, showing it is not good.

Ron glared at them, then lifted the dying white coat and walked out of the control room.

In this regard, the control room was speechless.

Hello!

Your old man can fly without fear of heights, we won't!!!

But no one dared to complain to Ron. As he said, they were selected into the airship unit after passing the psychological test. Now this picture is really indecent...

After a while, the relieved soldier smiled bitterly and picked up the phone bug, notified all of them for maintenance, and reported any problems immediately.

The maintenance personnel must order to set off immediately to start the inspection and determine the state of the empty boat.

On the airship, they are the most important group of people, second only to Commander Ron!

After all, 10,000 meters high in the sky, the only thing all the crew can rely on is the airship.You can have no food or clothing without a doctor, but the repairman must be complete!

A top repairman, who can even eat the same exquisite food as Ron, is not the privilege of Ron's identity, but the sincere worship of the soldiers!

Back in the office, the white coat took a few breaths, and after putting up with the desire to vomit, he began to report.He knew Ron was not a data party, so he reported the results directly.

"The results of the 18,000-meter stratospheric navigation test are not optimistic. The air pressure changes have caused many abnormalities in the aircraft structure to be repaired. At the same time, the failure rate of the plasma gun has also increased by 3%. However, the tropospheric navigation is completely fine, and all aspects of data are predicting. Within the estimated range, the tentative safety altitude is still 5000, and the upper limit is 13000."

"Understood, what else hasn't been tested?"

Ron lit a cigar, vomiting fog.

The soldiers who had followed Ron to the sea before really lived in dire straits. Not only did the weekly drinking and water supply cancel on the airboat, but even cigarettes were banned.

The safety of the empty boat is of paramount importance. A single point of Mars may cause a fire, leaving the entire empty boat dead!

The only place where you can smoke is Ron's office, because the office is actually a square iron box.

Unless the iron box melts, no matter how busy it is inside, it won't affect the outside.

Then came the question...

Ron's office, who would dare to break in without permission?

Just for smoking?

It's not easy to want to die in an empty boat...just jump off, there is no need to find abuse.

"Currently there is only the upper limit test of the firepower. We have checked the data for the plasma gun and there is no problem, and we have conducted several test firings. However, the follow-up impact of the actual operation on the airship needs time accumulation verification. It is enough to gradually improve in actual combat. You don't need to deliberately do it... …"

The white coat answered quickly.

Yes, test!

This airship unit was not handed over to Ron to trade with Sky Island. The main task was to cooperate with the G10 branch in actual combat and patrol the sea.

As a safety consultant, Kulick alone is in charge of a batch of airships that have been transformed to increase the cargo capacity. That is the main force for transporting materials up and down.What their airboat force needs is to conduct various tests, collect data, and lay the foundation for subsequent improvements.

"I see, notify the aviation team and rush to the g10 branch at full speed."

"understand!"
