Chapter 1713: Apparently Unassailable
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
According to Meng Chao’s knowledge, the current leaders of the Air Forward Base Project were mainly Thundercloud Technology and Soaring Dragon Construction.
Soaring Dragon Construction had been a long-time contractor for the construction of the forward base in Dragon City. It was once responsible for building dozens of indestructible frontline strongholds and had made great contributions to mankind’s victory in the Monster War.
Now, with the change in the form of the war, Soaring Dragon Construction was also actively transforming, trying to develop from the “ground” to the “air.”
The strengths of Thundercloud Technology included the research and development of various high-end equipment, the research and control of the monster’s neural network, as well as the use of the technology to simulate the monster’s neural network to control the drone, and so on.
In order to connect dozens or even hundreds of armored airships together to form an inseparable organic whole, the connection of hardware was secondary. The key was the unity of software.
The simplest reason was that each of the hundreds of armored airships had an independent crystal engine and propeller power system, and the entire air fortress was likely to have a main power core, it was equipped with a super-large crystal engine and a propeller that was larger than a wind turbine.
If all the crystal engines and propellers could not be integrated through precise calculations, the force they exerted in different directions alone would be enough to tear the sky fortress apart.
Therefore, after the initial hardware manufacturing and connection of the Soaring Dragon Construction project was completed, the follow-up software and information integration work of the project was handed over to Thundercloud Technology.
In other words, the first experimental ship and flagship of the air forward base project, the Golden Roc, had completely fallen into Yun Feidian’s hands!
“I see. The headquarters of the Blood Alliance is on the unfinished Golden Roc!”
Meng Chao thought quickly. He had to admit that it was a very smart move.
It was even smarter than the secret laboratory that Universe Corporation had set up in the depths of the Raging Waves Mountain Range.
The secret laboratory that had been set up either on the surface or underground was immovable. No matter how secretive it was, it could still be discovered by others and be captured in one fell swoop.
Moreover, any laboratory that was larger than Universe Corporation had to consume a large amount of resources and discharge a large amount of waste every day.
Those who wanted to follow the clues could always find clues.
Just like Meng Chao, it was through the plant mutation caused by the waste that he locked onto Universe Corporation’s Blood Flower laboratory.
Besides, setting the nest on the unfinished Golden Roc had obvious benefits.
First of all, the Golden Roc floated in the air and looked down from above, firmly controlling the entire airspace within a radius of dozens of miles.
Anyone who wanted to approach from the air would be discovered by the Golden Roc in advance. There was almost no possibility of secret infiltration.
Second, the Air Forward Base Project was a very attractive strategic project of the nine mega corporations. During its construction process, the security and confidentiality level were naturally very high.
Yun Feidian could use the excuse that “this project involves a large number of patents and secrets of Thundercloud Technology” to station a large number of guards on the Golden Roc and its surroundings and stop all unrelated people from entering, so as to minimize the risk of leaks.
Thirdly, because the Golden Roc was still under construction, a large amount of raw materials would be transported up every day by armored airships, and the excrement and garbage produced by the builders would be transported down.
In such a large amount of transportation, it would be difficult for people to find out if some sensitive items were carried along.
The best thing was that the Golden Roc, which floated in the sky all day long, naturally gave people a feeling that it was open and aboveboard.
When people were looking for the secret nest of an “evil organization,” the first suspect would certainly not be the Golden Roc.
It could also be considered to be taking advantage of people’s misunderstanding and doing the opposite.
To be honest, Meng Chao had thankfully been following the Ghost Assassins who were suspected to be members of the Blood Alliance all the way.
Moreover, because he and Lu Siya had been attacked by the spirit energy tide triggered by both the Red Radiance Jade and the Blue Origin Crystal at the same time, they had a mysterious connection.
Otherwise, it would be hard for him to imagine that the splendid sky fortress in front of him was actually a secret den of evil!
The transport airship shook slightly and gradually slowed down, getting closer and closer to the Golden Roc.
Following the shouts of the workers on both sides, several mechanical arms with runes that looked like metal tentacles and could turn freely extended from the Golden Roc, tried to grab the transport airship and connect it to the sky fortress.
Meng Chao pondered for a moment and gave up on the plan of mingling with the workers and goods and entering the interior of the Golden Roc directly.
Since he already knew that the Golden Roc was Yun Feidian’s lair, and the members of the Blood Alliance were transporting highly sensitive and extremely important goods, their inspection process had to be particularly strict.
Most likely, they would strip off any trespasser’s clothes and even count how many hairs there were on his body. Then, they would compare their findings with the registered data.
Even if he was a Deity Realm fighter, it would be impossible for him to pass the mission quietly.
“It seems that I can only invade from the outside.”
As Meng Chao thought so, he saw many dragonflies dancing around the Golden Roc’s periphery.
They were drones.
At least a hundred drones were painted with the color of the blue sky and white clouds. It was as if they were covered in a layer of camouflage and had merged with the sky.
Each drone carried a camera that could rotate 360 degrees, monitoring the situation outside the Golden Roc.
The flight trajectories of the hundreds of drones were crisscrossed, hence they patrolled according to a certain pattern. Many of the drones’ patrol routes overlapped, ensuring that there were almost no blind spots.
Meng Chao’s guess was right.
Since he had used the Golden Roc as his base, Yun Feidian did not make any low-level mistakes.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. His five senses and vitality magnetic field expanded to the limit in an instant. Through observation and listening, he locked onto the 128 reconnaissance drones circling the Golden Roc. Then, he constructed their surveillance range in his mind.
It was an almost airtight network that covered the entire sky fortress.
The surveillance range of most of the drones overlapped.
Even if one or even a few of the drones were quietly destroyed by Meng Chao, the remaining drones could clearly record the situation at the scene of the incident and transmit it to the Golden Roc’s surveillance center in an instant.
The only condition that could be utilized was that the Golden Roc was still under construction.
There were many workers on the airbags, pods, and huge propellers that made up the air fortress. They wore goggles, oxygen masks, as well as cold-proof clothing, and they had a sling tied to their waists, They were really focused on high-altitude operations.
