Chapter 117 It’s so Exciting
A huge shadow swept across the blue water. Three Pioneer spacecrafts hoisted the silver-white Prometheus, cruising at the speed of sound, rapidly approaching the area where the Manticore was located.
The Prometheus lowered its head, its toes drooped naturally with gravity, and its arms were crossed on its chest, like a statue of an angel praying.
Antimatter engines located throughout its body emit blue-white flames, providing it with a steady stream of powerful thrust, allowing it to maintain a vertical attitude toward the sea surface during high-speed cruising.
The golden sunlight shines on its body, as if it is bathed in holy light.
"It's so beautiful!"
"Simply a work of art!"
The team engineer in the Pioneer was using a drone to check the posture of Prometheus. In order to better appreciate Prometheus, he almost put his eyes on the tablet in his hand.
"Roar!"
A faint roar entered the cabin.
"Manticore found!"
Scorpion-tailed dragon, the beast lives up to its name.
It has a strong body and red wings covered with blood vessels. It looks like a Western dragon from a distance, but it has a slender tail with a needle on its butt. It looks extremely uncoordinated, like a temporary hybrid. published works.
Its body is covered with ravines, and the ravines are emitting blue biological light, as if it is wrapped with light strips.
Ugh - so ugly!
The engineer looked at the monster squeezing into the surveillance screen with a look of disgust on his face, and unconsciously held the tablet further away from his face.
"Prometheus, are you ready?"
嗗嗗——
"Wait a moment, the self-test is still a little short."
On the Prometheus, the two pilots are doing the last self-inspection of Prometheus.
"Senior, why are you more nervous than me?"
the girl asked with a smile.
This is a girl in her twenties, her face is a little baby fat, and she looks DuangDuang cute.
"I'm excited."
The man said with a straight face.
"I heard that you were on the Avatar project team before. Is the feeling of building a neural connection with Pandora the same as the feeling of building a connection with Prometheus?"
The girl's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
The man raised his eyebrows: "'It's more complicated than connecting to Prometheus, but it puts little burden on the brain."
"simply put."
"If you think of building neural connections as building blocks, building connections with Pandora creatures is like putting together a handful of small building blocks. There are many building blocks, but each building block is very light."
"In the case of Prometheus, it has fewer bricks but is very heavy."
The machine has no thought and will not give the connector any emotional feedback when establishing a spiritual connection.
However, the volume and mass of Prometheus are tens of thousands of times that of humans. To perfectly control such a huge body puts an extremely heavy burden on the brain, so it requires two pilots to operate together.
However, thanks to the Hines’ brain analysis technology, the coalition government’s neural connection technology minimizes the burden on drivers and also protects privacy.
Pilots are not completely open to each other when controlling the Hunter, unlike pilots on Earth in Pacific Rim who share memories, only sensory and mental activities.
The girl tilted her head.
Although the man answered her question, she couldn't stop looking at him.
Her name is Ye Yiyi, from Shanghai.
Because I didn't get the lottery for the underground city, I almost drowned with my parents in the great flood that swept through Shanghai in 1960.
However, the coalition government's rescue team arrived in time, and the flood did not surge to the point where there was no way to survive, so she and her parents were lucky to survive.
Later, after careful training by her parents, she joined the coalition government and became a glorious female soldier.
After two and a half years of training, he achieved excellent results during the selection of hunter pilots and became Liu Qi's partner.
Liu Qi's expression did not change.
After many years, Liu Qi is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be.
He is 35 years old and has just achieved the rank of major.
The military is the most training place for people. He is much more stable now than he was when he was a child, almost completely different from the other two.
Suddenly, the girl's eyes widened: "Senior, do you dislike me?"
"No, I didn't." Liu Qi interrupted, "The self-examination is almost completed, get ready to fight."
The girl puffed up her cheeks unhappily.
She clearly heard that Liu Qi thought she was troublesome in her heart, but she didn't say anything because Liu Qi's military rank was much higher than hers, and Prometheus' self-examination was almost completed.
In addition, Liu Qi can also hear her voice.
Liu Qi raised his eyebrows.
Girls have so many emotions
Self-check progress 85%
Self-inspection progress 91%
Self-check progress 99%
Self-check progress 100%
"Self-test completed!"
“Requesting placement!!”
Click——click——click——
The three mechanical chains were released at the same time, and Prometheus fell straight towards the Manticore.
The engineer said excitedly: "Go! Judgment Angel!"
In mid-air, Prometheus raised his head, raised his arms in a W shape, and the six mechanical wings behind him slowly unfolded.
Woo-boom! ! !
The terrifying heat wave instantly distorted the sun hanging high in the sky. Blue-white flames burst out like molten lava, and a roaring sound that made ghosts and gods tremble ran across the sky and the earth.
The scorpion-tailed dragon roared into the sky.
But its voice was so small that it was almost inaudible in the roar of the sea surface bombarding from top to bottom.
At this time, Prometheus landed in front of it.
The powerful thrust provided by the antimatter engine made Prometheus break free from the shackles of the earth's gravity. It was like stepping on the sea surface, with only the toes slightly immersed in the water.
Against the backdrop of the ripples caused by the flames, it seemed to be sacred step by step from afar.
It looked down at the scorpion tail dragon crawling on the sea surface.
The scorpion tail dragon looked at Prometheus with a fierce look, and the tail needle behind its buttocks was raised high, making an attacking posture.
"The antimatter furnace is ready!"
"Eject!"
In an instant, a blue sun lit up on Prometheus' chest, and a blue light column that seemed to be real was ejected from the center of the sun, like a planetary engine.
"Roar (quiet)"
The high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees enveloped the scorpion tail dragon, and the roar of the scorpion tail dragon stopped abruptly.
If time is slowed down a thousand times, you can clearly see how the carapace of the scorpion tail dragon turns into ash, how the muscles melt into blood, and how the blood evaporates.
After a few seconds, the light goes out.
Prometheus still stands gracefully on the sea surface, and in front of it, there is only a small piece of molten material emitting red light the size of a baby's fist, which is reacting violently with the sea water and rolling on the sea surface driven by steam.
Scorpion tail dragon, too hot.
In the Pioneer spacecraft, the engineer circled and dotted the data on the tablet, muttering: "Prometheus, well. Play normally"
"Next is the turn of the Monkey King."
I will post a chapter to continue yesterday's content, so that everyone can read it more comfortably. The author is typing hard, and there will be updates in the evening.
