Now that we know the location of the alien race and the triggering conditions.
For Sumo, who possesses the secret of stealing the sky, the effect of this wave of lurking aliens is extremely terrifying, making it impossible for people to find where they are.
But only in the world of talismans, after successfully reaching the Grand Canyon, the aliens will completely shed their disguise and be completely exposed.
The maximum speed of the Hope is 31 knots. After conversion, it is about 60 kilometers per hour.
The Great Rift Valley is 120 kilometers north of the depression. Even if you don't use the special ability of charging, you can get there in about two hours.
After including the arrival of the ocean, there is no need to take a detour and if you can run in a straight line throughout the whole journey, three hours will be enough to enter the rift valley and even cover most of the distance.
If an alien wants to set up an ambush in the canyon, there are only two opportunities based on the terrain explored on the map.
First, the location from the entrance of the canyon.
The Tushishan Mountain has the most locations at the entrance. Setting up an ambush here can ensure that after a battle, Soma cannot immediately change direction and escape.
But there is also a problem here. From the perspective of a foreign race, Somo must have been most vigilant when he first entered the canyon. It would be easy to fail to catch someone if he set up an ambush.
So, there is a second chance.
72 kilometers into the canyon.
There are also many earth and rock mountains here, and they are on both sides of the canyon. They look like a pocket, covering the side.
Driving the boat up from here, it is easy for the bottom of the boat to run aground on the mountain, so it is also an excellent ambush location.
As for passing this section of the road, even if you don't go through the canyon, as long as you are careful, you can directly change the road and go north from the side. If the aliens want to ambush, it is just a dream.
Therefore, only one of the three simulation opportunities can open to this position.
It is very simple to find the true location of the alien race, and there is no need for the intelligence team to stay up all night to investigate.
"But, director, twenty thousand"
"It's nothing but, believe me, they can't escape!"
Seeing Pei Shao's hesitant expression, and then looking at the cute look of confusion on Zhong Qingshu's face, Sumo smiled and sent the two of them off the boat.
Nine hours, three simulation opportunities.
If the Hope cannot be driven into the Grand Canyon after so many times and time, then there is no need for this alien race to bother.
But if it can succeed once, there is a high probability that this alien race will be eliminated before the disaster, or after the disaster strikes, they will be caught off guard due to the lack of information.
"The simulation experiment must be carried out quickly. Now all the attitude tests of the Hope have not been done."
"Even when the ocean comes, whether you can successfully enter the sea is a matter of two minds. If you are late, it will be a matter of one day!"
There are still seven days before the disaster, and I know that the enemy will not attack.
Seeing Pei Shao and Zhong Qingshu go away, standing on the Hope with only one person, Su Mo couldn't help but pump his fist in excitement.
I have been waiting for nearly a month for the day to go to sea.
In the past half a month, after opening the game panel every morning to check Su Chan's status, Su Mo could calm down his restlessness and continue working.
Now, just install the engine.
In the evening, the last part of the autopilot system of the entire Hope was modified and debugged.
Hope will officially enter the testing phase.
Whether it is a donkey or a horse, you will know after this wave of testing!
Taking long strides, he returned to the first-floor pilothouse on the main deck, flipped the switch in the safe, and found a gap in the corner of the pilothouse large enough for one person to go down.
This place is an escape passage designed by Sumo himself within the scope of the design drawings.
From here, you can go straight to the lowest level of the Hope, the engine room.
The thickest steel plate on this ship is also the engine room.
If you stay here, even if a nuclear bomb explodes outside, the three-meter-thick iron plate will ensure that you can survive successfully as long as you are not within the explosion range.
Once you hide inside, it does not mean you have entered an iron cage. After ensuring that there will be no secondary explosions outside, you only need to press the escape button in the engine compartment.
This cabin can be transformed into a small submarine in an instant, and the material conversion engine continues to be the core of the submarine, supplying energy to the small propeller that is usually hidden behind the iron box but can be retracted at critical moments to quickly escape from the battlefield.
"Although I say I can't set a flag, I still hope that I will never need to use this thing one day in my life."
"Otherwise, when the Hope is gone, my strength will be reduced by at least 90%."
While climbing down the iron ladder, Somo thought silently.
The ocean is no better than land, and even the Nozomi, with its hull half a meter thick, is not at ease.
As a "landlubber" who has never lived at sea for too long in his life, Somo has always been in awe of the sea.
It's just that these awe turned into a faint expectation after descending completely into the engine room.
Without him, this engine room is simply too safe!
At present, all the internal wiring of the Hope have been manufactured according to the specifications of the design drawings.
And thanks to the power of the modular shipyard, this Hope currently has many black technologies that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
For example, two pipes placed in the engine room.
The first pipe is pure black, with a lightning logo printed on the interface of the pipe.
Within this pipe, several lines for transmitting energy are integrated, and the inside of the pipe is placed directly within the steel package of the ship's hull, making it extremely safe.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if the ship sinks, all the energy supply lines will not be able to pull the crotch and will definitely support it until the last moment.
The second pipe is pure blue, and the interface is on the ground, leading directly to the bottom of the ship!
Through this pipe, the seawater under the ship can be continuously pumped up and injected into the engine room to provide free energy for the material conversion engine.
In the middle of these two pipes, there is a 3*3 empty space for placing the engine.
"The inboard and outboard motors I got from the Lioness were too small, but now they have been enlarged to the same proportion, although the energy output has been enhanced."
"But correspondingly, the energy output required is greater."
"I hope this material conversion engine will not disappoint me with its energy conversion efficiency!"
Because the engine needs to be placed before it can be used, and if you want to move it after it is placed, you must spend 2,000 disaster points. With this restriction, Sumo has never tried this thing since he got it.
The efficiency of the engine in converting energy with water is also unclear.
Therefore, thousands of words, at the last moment about to be put aside, have all turned into a desire for power and expectations for this engine that integrates future black technology.
Looking at the open space, as Soma concentrated his thoughts, the storage space began to slowly open, revealing the things placed inside.
Among them, the Civilian Type II-Total Material Conversion Engine, which is like a big box and occupies a full 1 cubic meter, is the most conspicuous of all!
The master of control thought grabbed the engine and faced the specially set aside space. As the thought of taking it came up, when Somo looked at it, the engine had already appeared in the cabin.
At the same time, game prompts also sounded at the right time:
[Record]: It is detected that the rating of the current vehicle is rare. After placing the engine, there is a small probability that the rating of the vehicle will be improved again.
[Record]: It is detected that the current vehicle belongs to the marine category, and its scale is larger than micro. It is compatible with the engine. There is a high probability that a special attribute entry will be generated.
[Record]: It is detected that the current vehicle is a semi-modular technology. After placing the engine, the conversion function efficiency of the engine can be slightly improved.
[Record]: It has been detected that the current civilian type II-total matter conversion engine (rare grade) has been placed in a suitable vehicle and has binding conditions. Do you want to bind it?
[Record]; Please choose binding carefully. Once bound, it will cost 20,000 disaster points to unlock again, and there is a small probability of reducing engine durability.
"There is such a good thing that can produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2?"
After looking at the five prompts given by the game, Sumo, who was a little nervous at first, suddenly became excited.
The engine, no matter in any vehicle, is the absolute soul.
Regardless of the brand of sports car, when measuring the performance of a car, the first thing everyone will definitely mention is the engine.
Six-cylinder? Can it be called a sports car?
Eight-cylinder? Just the entry point for a sports car.
Twelve cylinders are like a younger brother to me with sixteen cylinders!
Just like the despised chain of sports cars, in battleships, the importance of engines is no less important than the existence of weapons.
But now, with a material conversion engine that can stand at the top of the contempt chain, Sumo immediately stopped hesitating and directly made a decision silently in his heart.
boom!
As this determined thought fell, it was like thunder on the ground.
Invisibly, there seemed to be waves of energy in the cabin. At the same time, the engine, which was originally a small box of 1 cubic meter, also began to undergo an extremely sci-fi deformation.
Waves of blue light glowed, and deformations like waves erupted from the originally solid shell.
Under the promotion of light, the volume of the box gradually became terrifying like a sponge filled with water.
Fortunately, with the previous preparations, after seeing that the reserved 3*3 positions were all occupied, Sumo did not panic, pulled the two pipes back, and once again opened a large space for the engine deformation and expansion.
Space.
3.5*3.5
4*4
4.5*4.5
5*5!
Seeing that the size of the engine was getting bigger and bigger, and when it even took up half of the originally small engine compartment, Sumo instantly felt confident about the power of the engine.
When the Hope was being built, I watched this eighty-meter-long warship rise from the ground.
Although most villagers have enough confidence in the Hope, a few military fans who like to browse the web and post forums are still a little worried.
There is no flue, no pressurized cabin, no boiler chamber.
As a big ship, its most important power part is missing. How can we learn to sail and go to sea?
Of course, including Sumo, they were also worried before they actually saw the 6-meter-long, 5.8-meter-wide, and 4-meter-high engine in front of them.
For such an eighty-meter ship, if the antimatter engine does not have enough power, even if a suitable ship engine is modified through the system, the resources required will be astronomical.
Based on the current rate at which the underground shelter can only produce 90L of diesel fuel per day, even if it takes a year to save, it will not be enough to get enough fuel to go to sea for a month.
But now.
Looking at this engine that occupied two-thirds of the engine room, all the energy anxiety weighing on Sumo's heart had disappeared.
leftover.
It’s all about expectations for the ship’s attributes!
"Now, the only thing left is to connect the last system and power, tomorrow morning, no"
"tonight!"
"I'm going to install the system tonight to see how powerful this Hope, which has gathered most of my financial and mental energy, is!"
After trying to connect the two huge pipes to the engine according to the signs, Sumo couldn't help but tremble when he thought of what the Hope would look like when it went to sea!
