Byron's Blade

Since Mu Li came to this world, he has been very interested in the miraculous and magnificent buildings here.Now that she had the opportunity to go up the city wall, she immediately became excited.

The [-]-meter city wall, of course, takes the elevator up.They went up the city wall close to the main city of Athena City. Although Mu Li didn't know what they were going to do, looking at the appearance of Major General Creel, it seemed that there was something urgent for Lan Ni to solve.Could it be that there are some problems on the city wall that Lanny needs to solve?This seems to be beyond the professional scope of the eldest lady.

With doubts, Mu Li followed the group into the elevator.This elevator startled Mu Li, the space inside was so spacious that it was scary, the standard load was 80 people, and the standard weight was one ton.Think about it, when a war breaks out, a large number of soldiers need to be transported to the city wall. Naturally, the elevator must be large, otherwise the efficiency will be reduced too much.

The elevator is not a fully enclosed elevator, but more like a factory elevator, with the upper half open.When the elevator climbed up the city wall from the elevator shaft, the eyes suddenly opened up, and Mu Li couldn't help feeling a strong sense of shock that this world really existed.

Today's weather is quite clear, and it's near noon, the dense clouds in the sky are much thinner, and the sun is faintly scattered from the gaps in the clouds.At a height of [-] meters, you can see the continuous buildings, and you can see far away at a glance. On the spacious moat under the city wall, the boats passing by are as big as baby shoes.The moat also plays an important role in water transportation. There are both inside and outside the city wall, basically covering the entire Federation. There are also large and small sluices on the city wall for ships to enter and exit.

And the most conspicuous thing is nothing more than the suffocatingly high Tongtian Tower Babel that can be seen in the northeast direction.The Tongtian Pagoda at this moment looks much softer and clearer than the first time Mu Li saw it under the setting sun.Standing at a height of [-] meters, you can still feel the sense of oppression conveyed from a distance.The spiral sword-like shape reveals sharpness and sacredness.

There are birds soaring overhead, the distance is very close, as if you can catch it with your hand.They hovered over Mu Li and the others for a moment, then made a detour and flew towards the Tongtian Tower.

Mu Li frowned, looking at the Tongtian Tower in the distance, feeling a very strange feeling in his heart.It's hard to say what it felt like, but it was by no means a pleasant feeling.

In front, Lani and Major General Creel walked side by side. While leading Lani, Keriel said:

"I've been having a headache for a long time because of this problem, how do you think it can be solved?"

"Hehe, Major General, this problem is not limited to yours, but to the entire Federation. If I could have a solution, I would have brought it up long ago. I'm afraid I won't be able to give a decent opinion right now." Lanny laughed. .

"I know that I am a little bit difficult, but you also know that Ares is a difficult household. In any case, a solution must be found before this winter, otherwise the efficiency will not increase, and a lot of unnecessary costs will be spent every year. .” Creel looked distressed.

Lan Ni couldn't help asking: "Major General, this problem has been going on for many years. Although it has not been resolved, it is not a particularly big problem. Why are you so anxious?"

Creel sighed and said, "You don't know, I just received survey data from several outfield base stations in the northwest two days ago, saying that the atmospheric flow in the Himalayas is abnormal, and this winter will be extremely cold. And you I know that the Zerg fears the cold the most. Humans and the Zerg have temporarily maintained a balance. Once this state is broken by the cold current, the Zerg will most likely attack humans for reproduction and foraging. At that time, the first to bear the brunt is A Reese Region. If this problem cannot be resolved, it is difficult to guarantee that a large number of human sacrifices will not be caused this year, which is something no one wants to see."

Lan Ni nodded to express her understanding, and then responded: "I understand the major general, I will try my best to coordinate this matter with the technical department, and hope to help you."

"It's up to you, the old men and women in the Academy of Sciences are all unreliable now, and the technical department of our military academy can count on it.

Mu Li, who was listening behind, was confused, not knowing exactly what problem Creel wanted Lanny to help him solve.However, as her footsteps progressed, she soon saw many huge mechanical arms appearing on the edge of the city wall, fishing with strong steel cables, and hanging them all the way to the bottom of the city wall.

What's this?Hoist?Mu Li was puzzled.

At this time, Lan Ni spoke, and she touched the crane while saying:

"This thing is really inefficient. I'm afraid I can only transport two mechas up at a time."

"And it takes a full 5 minutes at a time. The height of the city wall is too high, and the weight of the mecha is too heavy. It is really difficult to lift it like this. Especially in emergency situations, we simply gave up this method. But the amount of entry and exit of the city wall Limited, the firepower attack on the wall can only scratch the itch of the Zerg, and can't hurt the actual place, if it doesn't rely on the mech, then once the Zerg can build up the insect ladder, they can easily cross the city wall and invade, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Lan Ni put her hands behind her back, looked into the distance and said: "The efficiency of mechs leaving the city is indeed a long-standing problem. When the city wall was built, the mechs hadn't appeared yet, so they didn't consider this problem. Now it is very difficult to solve it. .Whether it is to increase the amount of entry and exit of the city wall, or to transport the mechs in other ways, it may destroy the continuous defense system of the city wall itself. Our only option is to increase the firepower attack of the city wall, and transporting the mechas to the top of the wall is A bad choice.

My brother seems to have mentioned it to me once, saying that he is currently researching a new weapon, which is a long-range strike weapon on the city wall.I will contact my brother and get back to you as soon as possible. "

Creel nodded and expressed his gratitude to Lanny: "Thank you, if I didn't know you, your brother and I would really be speechless."

Lan Ni laughed and said: "The major general laughed at me, my brother is a scientific lunatic, and his mind is a little out of order."

"Hey~~ The wise man is so weird, mortals don't understand the world of geniuses, hehehe." Creel laughed.

The two chatted and laughed, and Creel changed the subject, and said again:

"Actually, there's another thing that bothers me recently."

"Oh? Let's listen to the major general and see if Lanny can help solve it."

"Actually, it's not a big problem. It's just that the faction evaluation office urged me several times to clean up the poor areas in the Ares region, saying that there may be many unregistered traitors wandering there recently. The nearby people have brought a lot of safety problems."

"Oh? Wandering rebels, this is really rare. Doesn't the camp there care whether these people come from which district or city?" Lan Ni asked.

"My people checked, and they wandered from the Sarrier region, passing the coal railway. There was a big fire in the slums there a few months ago, and as a result, many rebels took the opportunity to escape. After being caught, he fled all the way to me." Creel stroked his beard and continued:

"It's really annoying. The guys from these faction evaluation offices know the system, regulations, and procedures all day long, and it's hard to communicate with them. There will definitely not be such a mess in your main city. It's clean there, even the traitors I can't even see the shadow of it."

Lan Ni smiled, didn't answer this question, and then pointed to the distance. Among the large and orderly buildings in the distance, a small dirty low-rise shack could be vaguely seen. She asked:

"Is that the slums?"

"Yes," Creel stretched out his hand to the side, and the adjutant next to him immediately handed him a binoculars. Creel first looked at it himself, and then handed the binoculars to Lanny.Lan Ni held up the binoculars and seemed to be very excited to see them, and she didn't put them down for a long time.And Major General Creel said again:

"But speaking of it, it's strange that there are many homeless rebels in the slums. It was reported by an anonymous ID from the main city. I think it's a bit strange. Lanny, don't you understand these things well? Do you think this is Why?"

Lenny kept her eyes on the binoculars, and replied in a low voice that only two people could hear:

"The other party may be a person from the main city who doesn't want to reveal his identity. He came to the Ares region for something, and happened to find out about it, so he reported it. Or, the other party is a special agent sent by the main city to investigate this matter. Otherwise, the matter of anonymous reporting is nothing in itself, and the other party's real purpose is to use this matter to beat you. Major General, don't mind, I just want to talk about my analysis. You recently faced Feng Xun, secretly There are a lot of people who are ready to move. Everyone knows what your biggest political weakness is, and you are just pointing at it to attack you, so you have to be careful." At this point, she stopped.

Creel's face froze, then he smiled and said:

"Hehehe, Lanny is really smart. Let's go, I'll take you to dinner, rice noodles from my Ares region, aren't you the favorite?"

"The major general still understands me." Lan Ni laughed.

After lunch, Creel wanted to leave Lanni and others to stay in Ares for a few days, but because the troops will start training tomorrow, Lani and the others have to go back today.So Creel specially sent someone to accompany Lan Ni and the others to enjoy the scenery of the Ares region, and when the time came, he would send them back.

To put it bluntly, the Ares region is not pleasant. This is a serious war zone. There are bunker-style buildings with barbed wire everywhere, and various military facilities can be seen everywhere.In the southwest corner of the city, a memorial hall was set up to commemorate the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who died in the tragic Ares swarm attack 23 years ago, so as to alert the world, raise their vigilance, and never relax.

Just strolling around for a while, the day trip to Ares soon ended boringly.Lan Ni was a little unhappy, and said that she wanted to go shopping alone, so that everyone should not be with her.Then he quickly went against what he said, and quickly dragged Mu Li away, leaving a lot of dumbfounded attendants behind.The attendants didn't really dare not to follow, but they also didn't dare to follow too closely and be scolded by the eldest lady, so they could only follow them all the way. The second lieutenant can protect the eldest lady.

Lan Ni's "willfulness" came unexpectedly, and Mu Li hardly had the chance to refuse.By the time she realized it, she and Lanny had become alone.And I don't know how the eldest lady led the way. At first, Mu Li could feel the followers following behind, but the eldest lady just led her around two alleys, and easily got rid of them.Moreover, the eldest lady just tapped her bracelet ID twice casually, not only turning off her GPS location, but also blocking Mu Li's location by the way.All of this was done smoothly, faster than lightning, as if it had been rehearsed countless times, Mu Li was dumbfounded watching.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place." Lanny smiled.

"Where?" Mu Li asked.

"Don't ask, you'll know when you go, you will definitely be interested." After finishing speaking, he naturally took Mu Li's arm and led her along.

Mu Li's body stiffened. She didn't reject physical contact, but because of her sexuality, some things that others didn't care about would be magnified to her.Although she tried to ignore it, the more she deliberately ignored it, the more she cared:

Ma'am, I rubbed my chest...
