Chapter 1769 A G.o.dly Save
Standing on the deck of the newly designed Navy battles.h.i.+p, Landon couldn"t help smiling when thinking of how much more open the s.p.a.ce was.
Things have come a long since he created his first battles.h.i.+p.
Since his mission was to surpa.s.s Earth"s technology, he was also aware that many technologies on Earth were very flawed.
If some s.h.i.+p technicians, designers and builders saw how he internal structures and many s.h.i.+p components, they would think he was insane and was truly a madman.
Yet, it worked… It worked so well, already surpa.s.sing what Earth had to offer.
Understand that he also gained Technology points if he could better the technology awarded to him on his own.
Landon was proud to say that after this first set of Battles.h.i.+ps was made, the system awarded him with thousands of Technology points, saying the current s.h.i.+p technology was so cla.s.ses high above Earth"s cla.s.s.
That means the current s.h.i.+p technology here has surpa.s.sed Earth"s s.h.i.+p technology.
For this, Landon was pleased.
Standing on the ma.s.sive open s.p.a.ce, Landon and several others stepped pack, only to see the center of a ma.s.sive red-marled square open up.
Soon, they saw a helicopter emerge from below.
That"s right. The large red square was a helicopter pad.
That"s why it was slightly elevated from its surroundings, having 2 small outdoor steps leading to its top.
Mind you, military helicopters were far bigger and longer than ordinary helicopters, so one should understand how big the helicopter pad was.
.
"Your majesty!"
Several people saluted Landon, watching him approach them with a calm yet confident smirk.
"I take it, everyone is here?"
Everyone looked around and nodded.
According to the report, they had just 3 minutes before they entered the Mating Zone.
There, of course, they had to carry out their tests.
That was the money of truth, the moment to conducive whether the atmosphere above the Death Line was conducive for helicopter flying.
"Remember… we not only have to test the atmosphere above the Death Line but also test the atmosphere above the Mating Zone."
"Agreed." One of the generals nodded.
They speak as though the Mating Zone was an easy feat to traverse, but it was still a deadly place sailors dared not cross into.
As the alerts left their walkie-talkies, no one could smile.
The countdown made their hearts drum so loudly, that they thought they couldn"t hear the swis.h.i.+ng noises from the waves anymore.
[2 minutes 45 seconds prior to entry.]
Many held the railings and their harnesses, ensuring they were truly secured.
[1 minute 15 seconds prior to entry.]
Many looked up to the skies, asking their ancestors to keep them safe.
[20 seconds prior to entry.]
Wallace, the chief engineer on the main s.h.i.+p was still sweating buckets while ensuring he was in a secure position.
[11 seconds prior to entry.]10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
BRmmmm!!!
(o0o)
.
The shake was incredible.
Everyone felt their bodies almost fall over, as the s.h.i.+ps began swaying crazily while trying to maneuver the chaotic currents underneath.
Crazy! Crazy!
They aboard felt the vibrations the s.h.i.+ps felt too.
Several people were plunged aboard but thankfully hung in the air due to their harnesses.
With heavily breathing hearts, they stared at the roaring seas that were darker and fiercer than before.
It almost had a face that wanted to swallow them alive.
d.a.m.n!
That was too close!
This place was truly terrible!
The Navies had harnesses, but the marines and soldiers wore the one thing people back on earth would cry for.
What is that? Is it a bird? Is it a flying demon?
No! It"s a man in a flying suit!
The suits were a mix between Buzz Lightyear and Iron Man"ssuit.
Sci-fi mecha were finally in business!
Pah!~
Several people pushed in the large circle on their suit"s built-in waist belts.
Soon, an invisible anti-gravity sphere was created around the falling soldier just before his body slammed into the waves below.
For a moment, he closed both eyes, bracing himself for impact.
But only after feeling himself suspended, did he open his eyes to see his toes standing above water.
.
Wooooo~
The soldier wished to cry and go on his knees, swearing to wors.h.i.+p and follow his majesty Landon for all eternity.
"I did this during practice, but when doing it in a real death situation, the feeling sure is different."
Do you know how f.u.c.king close he was to getting swallowed up by the deadly waters below?
Just look at how much it was roaring. He had a hunch that should he fall in, it would never give him the chance to swing up for air.
At least not without the suit.
With that thought, he, a veteran, saw one of the newly recruited special soldiers who was on his first S-cla.s.s mission.
Yes, this mission was Sean as S-cla.s.s.
The recruit had Excellent performance within his brigade and during his other missions. So he was selected for this abrupt mission.
But it seems he was a little panicked and had not reacted fate enough, falling into the waters despite wearing a mecha suit!
Without thinking too much, the veteran gave a voice command, allowing the suit to wear its head hear on him.
Before, he was a man with an iron suit with his head exposed.
But now that he said the word Full suit, the headgear covered his face in less than a second before he plunged into the waters after that recruit.
"During tests, the suit has no problem sinking underwater. But how will it fair here in the mating zone?"
.
~Bram!
For a moment, the veteran couldn"t control the suit.
Left, right, up, down, the underwater currents were like tornados wanting to suck anyone and anything in.
Dread made his face ashen when staring at the viciousness of the underwater currents.
"Calm down… calm down...? I can do it! The suit hasn"t been damaged yet? so this means it"s strong enough to hold off here."
All this was thanks to the super high-tech-enhanced metal used to beyond the G.o.dly suit!
After putting on his high-intense light, the veteran was shocked by the number of large and scary creatures he saw underwater.
But his focus wasn"t too much on them.
Where is he? Where is the recruit?
