Marine’s Thunder God of One Piece

Chapter 167: Airship testing...

There was a gentle breeze and the sun was shining brightly.

In the sun, the airship shines brightly. Outside the metal armor, a few soldiers hung on the leash and carried oxygen tanks, and used shovels and steel brushes to clean up the ice accumulation on them. Clouds drifted under their feet, and everywhere they could see was a sea of ​​clouds, rolling and undulating, layer upon layer, as beautiful as a fairyland.

On the ground, ordinary people can only see the shadows of huge monsters floating above the clouds. The fear of the unknown makes them terrified, but the news that follows tells them what joy is!

Independent establishment of the Navy, airship combat force!

This is a new army whose reputation has rapidly resounded across the sea in just one week.

In 1517, the sea was constantly turbulent. After the existence of the sky island was confirmed, the navy established an airship force to cooperate with the newly established g10 branch to patrol the sea and fight crime!

Before this, whether it was a warship, a caravan, or a pirate ship, the navigation on the great route would be greatly disturbed by the climate. The unpredictable weather was the biggest disaster. Accidents often happened to ships going to sea. There are records of shipwrecks and fatalities, and the traffic can be said to be very inconvenient.

So much so that on the great route, except for the waters near the naval "g" series branch base, every household must beware of pirates at all times. Because even if an accident occurs, the navy will not be able to arrive in time.

But with the airship unit it's different!

They don't take the sea route, but the empty road!

Advance above the clouds, completely ignore the stormy sea, you can quickly support, and treat the sea as nothing!

Such an incredible way of moving made the pirates terrified. In the past, they only had to beware of the navy from the sea. If the distance was far away, even a small sailboat would have a chance to escape. But now the navy travels directly from the air, not to mention even more concealed, even if they find the enemy, the speed of sailing is not as fast as flying!

Corresponding to the panic and uneasiness of the pirates is the peace of mind of the commoners.

In this world, the law and order of the sea is not maintained by the rulers of the countries, but by the navy all over the sea! The common people are also more willing to trust the navy!

With the airship force, the faster the navy dispatches troops to clear the pirates, the safer they will be.

Therefore, the appearance of the airship force not only brings witness and deterrence at the technological level, but also the dawn of hope and new life!

However, the current problem is that the airship force is still in the experimental stage, and the number is far from enough.

This made the pirates heave a sigh of relief, and the civilians became more and more urgent. At the same time, it also ushered in a new wave of joining the navy...

"Go to the airship, fight pirates!"

Marin Fodo could hear the recruits shouting slogans for training every day.

...

Above the clouds, on the central flagship of the airship force, a researcher in a white coat reported and pushed in through the door, came to the control room, and said to Ron.

"Lieutenant General Ron! The stratospheric flight test has been completed, and we can descend!"

At this time, Ron was standing behind the windshield, looking at the magnificent sea of ​​clouds ahead, with a calm expression.

"Understood……"

He nodded, and then said to the rest of the control room: "Notify everyone to get ready, and start descending in three minutes, and the altitude will drop to 5,000 meters! After reaching the predetermined altitude, the maintenance personnel will immediately check and repair, and the medical team will be on standby at any time!"

"Yes!"

The soldier got the order, and immediately someone picked up the phone bug and announced Ron's order.

Seeing this, the researcher hurried to an empty seat, took out the oxygen mask and put it on.

The oxygen circulation system inside the airship is composed of empty island shellfish such as empty shellfish and blown shellfish, so that they don't have to worry about oxygen shortage even at the height of the stratosphere, but the impact of altitude changes is not limited to oxygen concentration.

Descending from 18,000 meters to 5,000 meters, as a frail and sickly scientific researcher, he couldn't resist as hard as this group of soldiers who had been honed by lightning stimulation equipment and carefully selected.

"Notice, attention of the entire fleet, the altitude has dropped to 5000 meters!"

"Notice, attention of the entire fleet, the altitude has dropped to 5000 meters!"

The command was repeated three times in a row, and a few minutes later, the main body of the leading airship tilted forward and slowly sank into the sea of ​​clouds. The airships behind him followed its movements, like a group of dolphins swimming in the sea, drawing graceful arcs in the air. The tumbling clouds are like stirred sea water, turbulent, magnificent, and the scene is breathtaking!

"Altitude... 17000 meters, 16000 meters,... 10000 meters... 8000 meters, 7000 meters, 6000 meters..."

"5000 meters! Arrive at the predetermined height and move forward in parallel!"

"5000 meters! Arrive at the predetermined height and move forward in parallel!"

Buzz... crunch...! !

When the altitude dropped, there was a rhythmic mechanical vibration from the airship, as if the airship they depended on was about to collapse at any moment. It wasn't until the altitude dropped to 8,000 meters that it began to decelerate at a constant speed, and the vibration gradually and steadily weakened. When the altitude stopped at 5,000 meters, the soldiers in the control room breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on their seats one by one.

Without experience, no one can guarantee that the airship will not disintegrate in the stratosphere. The joy of surviving and the unexpected stability of the airship let their tense nerves relax, and they sat with loose muscles, like salted fish.

"No prospect! How did you pass the psychological test?!"

But it's one thing to know it's one thing, but it's not good to show it.

Ron glared at them, then lifted his dying white coat and walked out of the control room.

In this regard, the control room was silent.

Hello!

Your old man can fly and is not afraid of heights, but we can't! ! !

But no one dared to complain to Ron. As he said, they were selected into the airship unit after passing the psychological test. Now this scene is really indecent...

After a long time, the soldier who had recovered his breath wryly picked up the phone bug and notified all the maintenance personnel to report any problems immediately.

The maintenance personnel have to order to start inspection immediately to determine the status of the empty boat.

On the airship, they are the group with the most status, second only to Commander Ron!

After all, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the only thing the crew can rely on is the airship. You can lack food, clothing, and doctors, but you must have a full range of repairmen!

A top repairman can even eat the same exquisite food as Ron, not because of the privilege brought by Ron's status, but because of the sincere dedication of the soldiers!

Back in the office, the white coat took a few breaths and began to report after resisting the desire to vomit. He knew that Ron was not a data party, so he reported the results directly.

"The test results of the 18,000-meter stratospheric flight test are not optimistic. The change in air pressure has caused many abnormalities in the airship structure to be repaired. At the same time, the failure rate of the plasma cannon has also increased by 3 percentage points. However, the tropospheric flight is completely fine, and all aspects of the data are in the expected It is within the estimated range, so the tentative safe altitude is still 5000, and the upper limit is 13000."

"Understood, is there anything that hasn't been tested?"

Ron lit a cigar and puffed.

The soldiers who had gone to sea with Ron before were really living in dire straits. Not only was the weekly drink supply canceled on the airship, even cigarettes were banned.

The safety of the airship is very important, a spark may break out into a fire, leaving the entire airship with no survivors!

The only place where you can smoke is Ron's office, because it is said to be an office, but it is actually a boxy iron box.

Unless the iron box is completely melted, no matter how lively the inside is, it won't affect the outside in the slightest.

Then came the problem...

Who would dare to break into Ron's office?

Just for smoking?

It's not easy to want to die on an airship...just jump off, there's no need to seek abuse, isn't it?

"At present, there is only the upper limit test of firepower. We have checked the data of the plasma cannon and there is no problem, and we have also conducted several test launches. However, the actual operation will take time to accumulate and verify the subsequent impact of the airship. It can be gradually improved in actual combat, and there is no need to do it deliberately... ..."

The white coat answered quickly.

Yes, test!

This airship unit was not entrusted to Ron to trade with Sky Island. The main task was to cooperate with the G10 branch to conduct actual combat and patrol the sea area.

As a safety consultant, Kulik is in charge of a batch of transport airships that have been remodeled to increase their cargo capacity, and that is the main force for transporting materials up and down. What their airship force needs is to conduct various tests and collect data to lay the groundwork for subsequent improvements.

"I see, inform the aviation team and rush to the G10 branch at full speed."

"clear!"
