636 The Prince’s treasure vault (Chapter 6.8)
What link didn’t say was that this voyage wasn’t only to explore the Prince’s treasure vault, but also to test the ship’s pressure.
So, when Troy was controlling the ship, he increased the speed and paid attention to the data sent by the engine sensors all the time.
An hour later, Troy made an announcement through the spaceship’s broadcast system.
“Respected gentlemen, you have now left the far west of the wasteland continent. You will reach the end of this journey in ten minutes. The spacecraft will be hovering above the island, providing you with 24 hours of service.”
Link and John were in different rooms. They looked out the window at the same time and saw the far west of the wasteland. Even if one looked down from the sky, one could see the craggy rocks on the cliff, and the fierce and rapid sea crashing and hitting without rest, turning the Black Sea water into white waves.
What followed was a boundless black ocean. It was as thick as ink and was so deep that one could not see the bottom. It was as if it wanted to swallow everything.
And this Sea area also had a vivid name-the Black Sea.
The continent gradually disappeared from their sight, and soon, the entire planet was left with a dark sea, and they could not find anything to refer to. At first glance, one would think that the spaceship was hovering over the sea without moving.
Link went to the main control room at the bow of the ship. He watched the ship fly forward quickly, and the scenery outside flashed by.
Link looked at the mechanical squid, who was observing the changes in the data. He thought for a moment and said, ” ” after this mission is over, arrange for a pericelestial flight. ”
The spaceship’s speed on the wasteland was only 1200 kilometers per hour. For an alien transport ship, the speed could be said to be trash. It was even slower than the fighter planes in Shatu. The main reason was that with the size of the transport ship, the price to pay to overcome the gravity of the planet and some losses during flight was too high.
However, it was different after entering space. With less energy loss, they could unleash more power and speed.
The pressure test on the wasteland was still not enough. all sorts of strong radiation and extreme temperatures could not be simulated on the ground, but they were common in space. Only in the cosmic environment could the whole body be tested.
“Alright, head of state. I’ve already relayed my suggestion to Helen. after preliminary verification, the periapsis flight test is indeed feasible. at the same time, helen also has a bold idea to apply for video access.”
Link didn’t think that his casual suggestion would trigger Helen’s bold creativity. He could only say that she was indeed worthy of being the future matriarch of machinery, the top talent in machinery in the Fandi star system.
After accepting the call, link saw Helen on the screen. She couldn’t wait to share her ideas.”Head of state, when you mentioned a test flight in outer space, I suddenly had a bold idea-a gravity weapon! A weapon that relies on gravity energy at a close altitude. It falls from a height of tens of thousands of meters and causes great damage to the ground. We can also modify the gravity bomb, such as adding a low concentration of radioactive material and using a pressure sensor to explode at an altitude of 1000 meters. This will form a radioactive area of several kilometers.”
Link wiped the sweat off his forehead as he listened to Helen’s wild imagination.
As expected of a matriarch, these weapons were really Helen’s masterpieces in the future. On top of that, their lethality was even greater, and they could even carry out destructive attacks on the surface of a planet on a ship. It was once listed as a ” forbidden weapon of mass destruction ” by the Council of the mowall Galaxy.
After a moment’s silence, link decided not to dampen her enthusiasm. Moreover, they might not necessarily use such weapons, but they definitely had them. every single bullet in the armory was a bargaining chip in space.
The more one played the game “destiny,” the more one would realize that truth and justice only existed within the range of cannons.
alright, then I’ll be looking forward to hearing good news from Helen.
After ending the video call, the mechanical squid hovered beside link and said slowly, ” “Head of state, we’ve already arrived in the air above the coordinates.”
Link looked up at the main screen. The Rocky islands below were in an irregular shape. Beside the main island in the middle were dozens of miniature islands of all sizes. Some weren’t even islands but were more like reefs.
The pitch-black waves crashed against the rocks, and the extremely white waves rose more than ten meters high, disappearing into the second wave in an instant.
at this moment, john also came to the command room at the head of the spaceship. he frowned and asked, ” “Are you sure the Prince hid the treasure in such a place? this kind of dangerous place doesn’t look like a place of reward for your subordinates. instead, it has a kind of deathtrap aura.”
link glanced at the island’s layout and then used the heaven’s insight to size it up. the island was filled with black gas that was no less intense than the death swamp’s.
“Be more confident, this is a land of death! And it’s that kind of dangerous place.”
Link furrowed his brows. When he first received the hidden main mission on the wasteland, he thought that the Prince was a naive boy who only wanted to live a peaceful life in the countryside and protect relics. But looking at the place where the treasure was stored, it was clear that he was not a good person!
Link and John exchanged glances and sighed.”It seems like this mission won’t be that simple.”
John agreed and felt that his decision to travel with link was wise.
Link finally understood why [ John’s request ] was a serial main mission. They had only just arrived at the location of the treasure, but everything was already clear.
The spacecraft began to lower its altitude. At the same time, various detectors began to analyze the island. Sonar, spectrum, rays, and lines of code representing data were transmitted to the spacecraft’s main computer.
The island’s holographic 3D image appeared on the main control console. The details of the island’s outline, even the waves that were constantly splashing on the beach, were all captured and simulated.
“Head of state, after surveying and mapping, we found a cave in the northeast of the island. The cave has a tunnel that leads directly to the bottom of the island. The entire Island is a reef. The island was formed by a volcanic eruption. The volcano is currently dormant. the interior of the cave is complicated, and there are energy fluctuations that interfere with the work of the sonar and spectral analyzer, so we can’t get a more detailed picture of the situation.”
alright, I’ve gathered enough information. The rest is up to me to investigate. Link let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t act too arrogantly this time. He’d also brought some pets along with John.
link turned around and walked back to the teleportation room. ” troy, prepare to arrange for john and i to land on the island. you will control the ship and cruise above the island. ”
Then, he raised his right arm and pulled a ball of purple goo from the cockpit wall. It jumped onto Link’s arm and disappeared into his sleeve.
At the same time, two metal doors in the resting cabin slowly rose up. One was covered in scales and metal, while the other was entirely made of metal.
When the metal door was completely lifted up, King Kong and shazok looked at each other.
Shazok switched his Warblade to his right hand, and his eyes were filled with an intense red battle intent.”What’s the competition today?”
The Vajra general, heaven shaker, stood on the ground and put his hands together. “Monks don’t lie, they’re not competitive and eager to win.”
The shazok crocodile sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, ” “i smell the strong aura of death on the island. this place must be full of evil spirits.”
Without waiting for shazock to finish, King Kong’s expression changed. He picked up his weapon and said with a firm gaze, ” “It’s my duty to slay demons and exterminate Devils. I, Vajra, will never fall behind!”
A hint of battle intent flashed in their eyes. It was clear without saying anything. The competition this time was to see who could kill more demons.
Not long after the two pets walked out of the resting cabin, they joined link and John, who had just walked out of the cockpit, and walked towards the transmission room together.
The spaceship descended to an altitude of 300 meters and stopped above the island.
the ship, which was hundreds of meters long, covered the sky, and its shadow swallowed more than half of the island. an indescribable sense of oppression descended.
Inside the teleportation room, link, John, King Kong, and shazoc were guarding the room like door Gods. The four of them stood on the central disc of the teleportation room. As the ring under their feet turned, a golden light enveloped everyone on the disc.
Immediately after, a golden light beam shot out from the bottom of the spaceship and reached the empty space on the island.
The pillar of light landed on the ground, stirring up a ring of dust, but it was immediately blown away by a powerful pressure.
The light pillar rubbed against the air, giving off a burning hum.
When the light beam disappeared, a charred teleportation rune was left on the ground. In the center of the rune were the four people in the spaceship’s teleportation room.
Link had gotten used to this kind of small, short-distance teleportation portal in his previous life, but it was clearly John’s first time using it.
...
Looking at the harsh environment of the island, and then looking up at the spaceship that covered the sky, John was still a little dazed.
It wasn’t just the four of them who got off the spaceship. Troy also released the drones on the spaceship, and they swarmed out of the cabin like flies. Each drone was the size of a basketball and was equipped with various cameras and detectors. Hundreds of drones formed a large net that surrounded the island and examined the island’s various data.
At the same time, the four railguns on the spaceship shifted from the side of the spaceship to the bottom and activated alert mode.
The island was hit by the waves on all sides, and the foam that hit the rock walls was swept up by the strong wind to the island.
the projection on the spaceship covered the entire island and projected a three-dimensional pointing mark on the ground.
The group followed the mark to the entrance of the cave.
Due to the humid air all year round, vines and moss had grown around the cave.
The four drones entered the cave first and activated their searching mode to illuminate the cave.
The cave was humid, and the sound of moisture dripping down the wall could be heard.
Link activated the heaven’s insight and could see black gas coming out of the cave.
“Be careful, there’s an ominous surge in the cave.”
...
Link wondered if there really was treasure hidden in such a place. Or was this just a plot set up by the Prince to deal with the seven ‘loyal servants’?
but everything, you have to walk in to know.
