This game is too real.

Chapter 298 Past, Present, Future
"Ready to fight!"

At the same time as the voice fell, the five people cooperated tacitly and dispersed to the surrounding bunkers.

Lao Bai rushed into the building on the street, kicked open the half-closed door, put the cuboid box containing the fuel rods in a safe place, loaded the sickle assault rifle in his hand, and quickly approached by the window.

The action is complete.

"Arrived at the location!"

"+1"

"I'm fine too!"

They have cooperated countless times like this. According to the green dots on the VM map, the five-member team spread out evenly around the building, controlling all possible approaching directions.

There are almost no dead ends!

The members of the cattle and horse team nervously waited for the start of the battle.

However, after a long time, the street was still silent.

Still no sound.

Quit, who was standing in the front row with Lao Bai, held his breath and carefully observed his surroundings.

However, except for the vines swaying gently by the window and the leaves swaying in the breeze, there is no obvious movement on the whole street.

Is it an illusion?
As soon as such a thought came into my mind, there was a whoosh sound from the top of my head.

Before everyone could speak, something exploded above their heads.

boom--!
Ye Shi, who was standing behind the half-collapsed concrete wall, froze for a moment.

"Fuck?! Mortar!"

In fact, the combat efficiency of mortars in street battles is very poor, and there are bunkers everywhere around them, and the range of fragmentation damage will be extremely limited.

However, the other side didn't seem to realize this, and then fired three shells at them.

Without exception, these shells exploded in the air, and they were all 20 meters away from them!
"And it's an air-burst bomb..." Kuang Feng frowned, glanced at the signal on the VM screen, and then quickly glanced out the window, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Tiny fibers slowly fall from the air, like the cilia on a dandelion.

That is the culprit of blocking the signal!

"It's a signal jammer!"

Ye Shi's scolding came from afar.

"Damn! I just said why the drone can't move!"

The latest "Type Five" light cavalry exoskeleton sold in the NPC store is not only equipped with a tactical helmet with eyepieces, but also includes a palm-sized small close-range reconnaissance drone mounted on the shoulder, which can share the field of view with yourself or Teammate's helmet visor.

Yet now.

Drones lose their meaning.

Not only Ye Shi's drone was useless, but the "Y-1 Firefly" quadcopter of Kuangfeng was also useless.

Lao Bai turned on the speaker of the helmet and shouted loudly.

"Ye Shi, look for the commanding heights, find out and destroy the observers! Quit smoking and follow me, we will find a way to end their mortars!"

The advantage of the language barrier was fully revealed at this moment. They couldn't understand the words of the NPC, and the same NPC couldn't understand their communication.

"Roger that!"

Quit Smoking was about to get up, but at this moment, thick tongues of fire suddenly shot out from the window directly opposite the street, and bullets shot over like raindrops.

A piece of debris exploded on the concrete slope, and Quit was so frightened that he quickly buried his head and hid behind the bunker, moving low amidst the chaotic gunfire.

Seeing that his teammates were suppressed by the firepower, Lao Bai immediately raised the rifle in his hand and fired at the window directly in front to cover the transfer of his teammates.

At the same time, there were also intensive gunshots from the other side of the street.

There is the direction of the wind and the square!
Old Bai frowned.

The combat quality of these people is not like a motley crew!
At least--

Much better trained than those marauders!
"Free to fire!"

Shouting loudly, Lao Bai emptied the last shuttle in the magazine towards the window across the street, replaced it with a new magazine and began to move towards the outside of the bunker.

The mortars on the opposite side continued to fire, and soon the signal in this block would be completely isolated from the outside world.Ye Shi is moving towards a higher place, and the area above the [-]th floor should be able to resume communication with the shelter.

At the same time, Fang Chang and Kuangfeng had already approached the enemy.

The four-person team approached from their flanks and hit them in the face. The sprayed gun flames flickered and moved in the narrow alley, and the whole street was covered with flying gravel and dirt.

There was no communication between the two parties.

A fierce exchange of fire broke out in silence.

He was shot twice in the chest, but was fortunately blocked by bulletproof panels. Fang Chang gritted his teeth and let go of the PU-9 submachine gun that was emptying bullets.

Bullet time!

The flying dust suddenly slowed down.

Slowing down is also the whole world.

Including himself!
Locking on the figure in the smoke, he pulled the bowstring as fast as he could, and let go of his fingers.

The bowstring trembled at a frequency visible to the naked eye, and the three-edged arrow shot out with full power sank into the smoke like lightning.

Meanwhile, bullet time lifts!
whoosh-

The chest of the black shadow collided with the arrow shot by Fang Chang, and he fell back and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

Seeing the jet-black armor on the man clearly, Fang Chang's eyes flashed a trace of surprise.

Who are these people? !

……

He stretched out his hand and dragged the teammate who fell to the ground with the arrow back to the back of the bunker. Dimit, who was holding an assault rifle in his hand, was also full of surprise.

It's not surprising the identities of these people, their goals are very clear, and they know who these people are.However, to his surprise, these people's equipment and combat awareness completely exceeded their expectations.

Pre-war police exoskeleton!
Where did they get all these goodies! ?

However, no matter who they are, don't try to slip away from here today!

"The left lung has been pierced! LaVine is dying!" shouted the medical soldier handling the wounded.

"Hemostasis spray! Quick! Help him treat the wound first!"

"These savages... are using bows and arrows?!" As soon as a soldier finished speaking, a shuttle of submachine gun bullets flew past his head, scaring him to hide in a hurry.

"Don't underestimate them!" Dimit shouted loudly, "The bow in that man's hand is weird!"

Aim assist for helmets?
Or electronic eyes?
This reaction speed is a bit ridiculous!

Especially when this group of people saw through their ambush in advance, it was even more unexpected to him.

Their exoskeletons can shield the heartbeat and 90% of the heat source, even if they are awakened from the intuitive system, they won't be able to spot them at such a long distance, right? !

Dimiter tore a fragmentation grenade from his waist, but before he could pull the ring, it exploded above his head with a whoosh almost at the same time as the explosion.

Hundreds of steel balls exploded from the arrows, sweeping across a cylindrical surface, and they were caught off guard behind the cover.

Thanks to the exoskeletons on their bodies that prevented the flying shrapnel, otherwise this arrow would have killed and injured most of them.

Dimiter didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately clenched his fists, signaling to the two teammates who were still able to fight, and spread out the surrounding ruins on both sides, avoiding the opponent's dense firepower area.

At the same time that the group's hearts were shaking, Fang Chang, who shot the arrow, was also full of surprise on his face.

It's okay to get a burst arrow from him?
Good guy.

Then come again!
Without hesitation, he drew another bursting arrow worth 50 silver coins and put it on the bowstring. Fang Chang was about to charge up and shoot when the strong wind next to him patted his shoulder.

"They packed it!"

Fang Chang's expression changed slightly, and he said decisively.

"Back up!"

……

B404 Floor Browsing Room of Vault 4.

A digital screen next to the wall is simulating the crackling sound of the flames in the fireplace, which is soothing to the mind.

The environment here is really good.

The only downside is that it's easy to forget about day and night.

Chu Guang didn't go outside to inspect today, but sat on the soft sofa, flipping through the popular science books he took off the bookshelf.

The title of the book is "Past, Present, Future".

Although some of the things mentioned in it are only superficial descriptions, they still opened Chu Guang's eyes.

"As early as Prosperity Era No. 20, the research ship of the People's Federation has explored all the planets in the solar system, and started the exploration plan of Nanmen II."

"Until Prosperity Era No. 30, the South Gate [-] exploration plan has been initially completed, and the first colonial ship of the People's Federation has successfully left the port..."

"Nanmen 4.24 must be [-] light-years away from Earth."

"Is this the mastery of faster-than-light navigation?"

When his eyes stopped on a certain line of description in the book, Chu Guang had a weird expression on his face.

"...Gravity bond?"

According to the description in the book, in the Era of Prosperity, physicists of the People's Federation discovered that there is a "gravitational bond" between two massive celestial bodies.

Aerospace engineers call it the "gravitational channel."

Although it takes hundreds or even thousands of years for the spacecraft to fly from the solar system to other galaxies in the classical movement mode, no matter what things are used to accelerate the spacecraft, if the gravitational channel is used, the spacecraft only takes a relatively short time, It can "jump" between two massive star systems.

Generally speaking, the time taken for the transition is proportional to the mass of the spacecraft and the distance from the celestial body, and inversely proportional to the mass of the celestial body. There is a specific formula to calculate it.

According to this formula, jumping between the solar system and the Southern Gate II system will be faster than jumping between the earth and Mars.

Yes, there are many gravitational channels.

It can exist between a star system and a star system, or between planets in a star system, or even between a star cluster and a star cluster.It's just that due to the problem of the jump point, almost 99.99% of the gravitational channels are useless even if they exist.

Fortunately, the physicists of the People's Federation have solved this problem. They not only calculated the method to determine the course of the gravitational channel, but also summed up the formula for calculating the jump point, so that the People's Federation can use the gravitational channel to carry out "hyperspace navigation" became possible.

And it also laid the groundwork for the continuation of the prosperous era.

Controlled fusion solves the problem of energy, and the discovery of gravitational channels makes it possible to colonize outside the solar system, and at the same time solves the two problems of matter and living space.

Human civilization also ushered in the first "ascension" and took the first step from the interstellar natives to the overlord of the star sea.

To be honest, this popular science book writes this paragraph like a cool article.

Perhaps considering that the audience of popular science stories is children, the colony cabin sailing to South Gate [-] was simply described as a paradise on earth.

As for now...

It's more like after a failed robbery.

Not only was his "knowledge completely abolished", but the entire People's Association was completely annihilated.

Chu Guang now somewhat understands Yin Fang's feelings.

The more you know, the easier it is to feel confused about the future.

"Nima..."

"It would be great if we traveled 100 years earlier!"

If you don’t understand, just ask, is it still too late to drink fake wine?
According to the book "Past, Present, Future", if you travel to the early or even middle period of the prosperous era, as long as you don't go to the dormant cabin to do "time travel" or "want to see the future", you will die. It may not be possible to see the collapse of the prosperous world.

Chu Guang turned a page backwards.

It is a pity that this popular science book does not give a detailed explanation of the "gravitational bond", just like most popular science books in the parallel world will not fully paste the derivation process of the theory of relativity, but generally summarize it as "Finding shortcuts from hyperspace".

Hyperspace Chu Guang still understands a little bit, it literally means multi-dimensional space.

And this is what surprised him the most.

In "modern physics," force is usually explained as the process of collisions between the particles that make up matter and the particles that transmit the force.Under such a framework, the four fundamental forces, except gravity, can be explained and calculated consistently, and agree with the experimental results.

This is the "Standard Model".

It is also the cornerstone of modern physics.

However, this model is not perfect, just as Newton's classical mechanics cannot explain the laws of motion of massive celestial bodies, this model also has limitations of the times - it cannot be perfectly compatible with gravity.

So someone put forward the "string theory". Under this conjectured theoretical framework, the three basic forces are interpreted as open strings, and gravity is interpreted as closed strings.

Based on this conjecture, gravity can transcend all dimensions.

The physics of the two worlds seem to be connected?
Although it is only a conclusion of two sets of theories.

Staring at the line of description in his hand, Chu Guang suddenly thought of the recordings that were unlocked on the B2 floor, and the part about the morphological field mentioned in it.

"... There can be a gravitational bond between star clusters, so is there a similar bond between universes?"

Chu Guang does not know how much the mass of the universe is. This thing is like oil reserves. With the advancement of exploration technology, it may "dig more and more".

But assuming that the mass and distance of the two universes are both infinite, Chu Guang tried to bring in the simplified formula mentioned in popular science books, and the obtained mass of the spacecraft m is infinitesimal.

In other words, according to the theory of "gravitational bond", even if there is such a bond between two parallel worlds, it cannot allow even a single quark to pass through it.

But what about particles with a "rest mass of 0"?
Like photons.

The transmission of information requires a carrier, and the ability to exchange carriers means that the transmission of information is possible.As for what this medium is, I am afraid that only physicists in the Renlian era can answer.

"The morphogenetic field linking parallel worlds might be based on a similar theory."

"How is the parallel world positioned?"

Chu Guang closed his eyes gently, digesting the knowledge he had just absorbed for a moment.

20 points of intelligence played a little role.

If he was not a manager, he might be able to become an astonishing physicist in the parallel world Earth.

At least the content of this book alone, if he updates it to the database on the official website, will be enough to set off an earthquake in the physics world of the parallel world.

Maybe even get a Nobel Prize.

But this is ideal.

The earth in the parallel world does not have the ability to verify these theories, and the superficial descriptions in popular science books are not enough to be used as rigorous scientific conclusions, at most as a "correct direction".

As for myself, there is a high probability that I will be regarded as an emissary of "advanced civilization", and this popular science book will also be regarded as evidence of "advanced civilization's good intentions to enlighten earth civilization".

Then the problem is coming.

How many silver coins should this book sell for?
Thinking of Brother Fengfeng in the server, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile.

"Let's upgrade."

"When you help the manager revive the People's Federation, I'll give you the title of Chief Physicist of the People's Federation for fun, and how about giving you a few Nobel Prizes by the way?"

Of course.

If you can't bear it, don't blame your brother.

Chu Guang turned down a page with a smirk, and at this moment, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Owner."

"what happened?"

"Your Burning Legion signal has disappeared from the map."

What the fuck? !
Shocked, Chu Guang quickly closed the book in his hand and threw it aside, picked up the tablet on the table and opened the map without saying a word.

Five green spots have disappeared from the east side of Qingquan City.

"system!"

A light blue window appeared in front of his eyes, Chu Guang directly cut to the player list, saw the online icons of several players, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only the radio communication that was disconnected, not the morphing field!

The clones are still alive!

It should be some kind of signal jamming device that blocked their signal.

Although there is the possibility of accidents, the safety of the fuel rods is related to whether the No. 401 shelter can be used, and no accidents are allowed in this matter.

It only took a second to make a judgment. Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and tapped on the tablet, and clicked to send the "pre-edited" task command.

"Let the mosquito's plane go and have a look!"

Xiaoqi's energetic voice came.

"okay!"

At the same time, the runway in the north of Dawn City.

A wooden plane turned its propeller and slowly opened the door of the hangar.

Mosquito, who was still teaching his apprentices how to operate the glider a minute ago, jumped into his car without saying a word, and put the pilot hat made of dog skin on his head.

The two machine guns on the plane have been replaced by 7mm Maxim-II from 10mm small water pipes, and the entire wooden glider has completely changed from a reconnaissance aircraft to a ground attack aircraft.

The mosquito painted a shark tooth on the nose with paint, and the whole nose looked like a shark with its mouth wide open.

Although the skin is not aggressive, it looks cool.

In the future, who would dare to say that he licks the ground like peeing!
"Practice yourself! You can play whatever you want except don't go to heaven!"

The four training planes are not equipped with weapons, so it is useless even if they go up.

However, upon hearing these words, the four apprentices instantly became unhappy.

Killing: "Damn!"

Chasing the soul: "What the hell are you eating alone again!"

Killing God: "Come down and I'll drive!"

Persuasion: "%￥#@!"

"Fucking, can I do serious tasks for you? First go to reality to test for a certificate!"

Daosheng: "How the hell do you have a certificate?!"

There were not many mosquitoes beeping, he smiled and pushed the switch to the bottom, pulled up the joystick the moment it reached the take-off speed, and lowered the visor of the helmet at the same time.

The task is simple.

Cruise in the east area of ​​Qingquan City, searching for the signal of Lao Bai and the others in the air.

If you find something unexpected, support it.

If it's safe to do so, scout where they're headed before the energy runs out.

My intuition tells Mosquito that this kind of task is usually spawned, and the second situation can basically be ignored.Don't even think about it, it's probably true!
The entire squad has disappeared from the map.

The background of the enemy is probably not small!

Blood surged up all over his body. Although there was still a distance of more than ten kilometers, the index finger of the mosquito had already touched the safety of the fire.

"Brother Meng!"

"wait for me!"

……

East District of Qingquan City.

The sound of gunfire was like firecrackers.

Asking Quit to stay where he was to restrain the machine gun on the opposite side, Lao Bai went around to the flank and planned to get rid of the annoying mortar first.

However, when he got there, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

I saw a heavy-duty exoskeleton standing in the center of the flower bed in the community, with two armored arms supporting the ground, in a running-up posture, and the gun barrel raised on the back fired continuously.

Every time a shell is fired, a cloud of dust is shaken from the ground.

Where the hell is a mortar.

It's clearly an exoskeleton version of a self-propelled artillery!

The three exoskeleton soldiers guarding the "self-propelled artillery" immediately spotted Lao Bai the moment he appeared, raised their rifles and fired at him without saying a word.

He was almost swept away, and Lao Bai, who was hiding behind the residential building, immediately shot back with his gun out of the cover.

However, the other party was obviously not a vegetarian. Three assault rifles fired at the same time, and the ferocious firepower suppressed him back.

The three soldiers wearing exoskeletons didn't stop there, they formed a triangle in tacit cooperation, and fired alternately towards him.

Looking at the cracks in the bulletproof plate of his left arm, Lao Bai gritted his teeth and replaced the magazine, and began to move towards the half-collapsed building next to him.

There was no signal in the entire area, probably because the dust from the jamming bombs was blown over. Now he doesn't even know if his teammates are dead or alive.

Fortunately, the gun barrel on the back of the heavy exoskeleton has ceased fire, so Fang Chang and the others can feel less pressure.

"Damn... where did these people come from!?"

Could it be that Fang Chang was targeted by the planner when he smashed the goods and shipped them?
Not so much, right? !
They are not the only ones cutting leeks.

Just when Lao Bai was secretly surprised, there was a gunshot in the distance.

Of the three exoskeleton soldiers chasing after him, one of them was shot sideways, the bulletproof plate cracked, and he almost fell to the ground.

The teammate next to him immediately grabbed the man and pulled him into the bunker next to him.Forced by the deterrence of sniper rifles, they dare not come out of the bunker, and can only detour through the ruins with a narrow view.

"Pretty!"

Lao Bai was overjoyed, he didn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately counterattacked, suppressing them who were about to make a detour.

The two sides are in a stalemate!
Leaning against each other's bunkers with cold guns.

However, what made Lao Bai's heart sink was that the "self-propelled artillery" started firing again.

And this shell directly hit him ten meters sideways!

As a last resort, Lao Bai could only give up the suppression of the three exoskeleton soldiers and retreat to the building across the street from the community.

Ulen, who was crouching behind the bunker, changed the magazine, gritted his teeth and led two teammates to chase after him.

The difficulty of the other party exceeded his expectations!

There is no news from Dimiter, and someone actually bypassed their front and penetrated into the mortar position 600 meters away from the firefighting area.

Tapping his index finger on the helmet of the exoskeleton, Uren had an idea and shouted loudly.

"Surrender! You are surrounded!"

"We won't kill you, as long as you hand over the black box you stole from us!"

The sound echoed through the street.

Lao Bai, who was holding an assault rifle, frowned.

What is this guy talking about?

His human connection language is not as good as Fang Chang's, and he can jump a few words. Sometimes it's okay to speak slowly, but he becomes confused when he speaks fast.

However, if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, so you can't be weak in momentum.

Lao Bai imitated the pronunciation of the other person, and returned the sentence intact.

"Surrender! You are surrounded!"

Uren: "???"

We're surrounded and it's okay.

Was this man hallucinating?

However, just when he was thinking this way, there was a piercing scream in the air.

Ulun looked back suddenly, and saw a "shark" with its bloody mouth wide open, roaring towards the mortar positions behind them.

Fear flashed in his eyes, and he roared out loud.

"Ted! Get out of the way!"

Ted, who was wearing a heavy-duty exoskeleton, apparently also noticed the abnormality in the sky, and quickly retracted his arms inserted on the ground.

however--

It's too late!

Two 10mm machine guns sprayed tongues of flame from the shark's bloody mouth!
"Ah da da da! Go to hell!"

Outputting firepower with its mouth, the mosquito trembling with the cabin, excitedly pulled the trigger to the bottom, and swept the exoskeleton carrying the gun barrel with the front sight.

Although the body is covered with bulletproof plates, the exoskeleton is an exoskeleton after all. No matter how many bulletproof plates are hung, it cannot stop the firepower of the fixed wing.

Facing the random sweep of two 10mm machine guns, in just a few seconds, the heavy exoskeleton was smashed into a sieve.

The ammunition box and the battery sparked half a meter high in an instant, and the man didn't even have time to let out a scream before being blown to pieces together with the armor on his body.

The plane regained altitude and flew towards the sky.

"asshole!"

Staring desperately at the plane, Uren's eyes were bloodshot.

He almost gritted his teeth, pulled the trigger all the way with his index finger, and emptied the entire clip of bullets. He didn't stop until the plane disappeared from view.

The same goes for the other two teammates.

The anger almost made them lose their minds.

However, as the captain of the team, Uren's remaining sanity finally calmed down quickly.

The opponent has air support!
Although it was just a ridiculous propeller plane, those two heavy machine guns were no joke, and their equipment hadn't advanced to the level of counter-common sense.

This is the valley province far away from the coast of death. It is just at the door of the opponent's house. The supplies and reinforcements on the opposite side are almost unlimited, but there are no supplies and reinforcements available on his own side.

Thinking of what the man said earlier, Ulun's heart sank even more.

Maybe that person wasn't joking.

The reinforcements of these people have really surrounded them!

They only have one chance!
If they couldn't catch anyone, they would have to take plan B and continue north to seek help from the raiders they had funded.

Without time to hesitate, Uren immediately pulled out the flare gun on his waist and fired a flare into the sky to alert his teammates in front.

Immediately afterwards, he shouted at the two teammates beside him.

"withdraw!"

……

The battle is over.

The opponent gave up his position and retreated back, into the ruins.

The mosquito circled several times in the sky, but finally did not find a second chance to dive, and began to return after confirming the safety of its own people.

The smoking cessation belt took the box containing the fuel rods, and after meeting with Guafeng and Fang Chang, they went in the direction of the signal flares for reinforcements.

Here they met Lao Bai.

"Fuck?! Are you okay?" Looking at the torn bulletproof plate on Lao Bai's chest, Fang Chang showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Don't worry too much, you've only been shot seven or eight times," Lao Bai removed the sagging bulletproof plate, and said with emotion, "If this happened in reality, I guess it would be gone."

The wind coughed lightly.

"Don't worry about it, be confident."

Quit smoking nervously.

"Want to chase?"

Lao Bai shook his head.

"Chase the hammer, the mission is important. Call Ye Shi back, and we'll be on our way quickly... If they have reinforcements, we'll be in trouble!"

How to chase?
Up to now, their VM signal has not been recovered, and the other party has retreated into the ruins.

You can't leave the fuel rods here.

Looking at the heavy exoskeleton not far away, Fang Chang stepped forward and pulled the charred corpse out of the armor.

After groping on the corpse for a while, Fang Chang's hands suddenly paused, and he took out a string of necklaces from the neckline, with a burnt iron plate strung on it.

A torch is engraved on it.

"Did you find anything?" Lao Bai came over and asked.

"Ah."

Fang Chang nodded and shook the iron plate in his hand.

"The emblem of the torch... has his name engraved on it, but I don't understand the words."

Looking at the wreckage of the exoskeleton that was burnt black, Lao Bai took a signal flare from his waist, pulled off the ring and threw it beside the wreckage of the exoskeleton.

Flares emitted billowing red smoke.

"Leave it to the NPC here."

Lao Bai patted Fang Chang on the shoulder.

"let's go."
