Chapter 368 Mecha May Be Shot Down!!_2
Unbelievable! I never thought something like this would actually be created by humans several years later!!
And the system's answer below confirmed this point.
[Answering the owner's question, this time the deconstructed and reconstructed item is part of the first generation of long-range strategic space battleships that humans developed based on a space station model after the ninth generation fighter jet.]
As expected! No wonder the system previously said that the ninth generation fighter was humanity's most advanced fighter jet.
It turns out that after the ninth generation, humans started researching Star Destroyers.
Developed based on a space station model, in this way, it should actually be equivalent to a strategic space station.
However, this is understandable, considering it's just the first generation.
But the deconstruction and reconstruction work fine; what on earth is this 1/1032 nonsense??
Could it be that this thing can accumulate enough to become a single entity on its own??
[Answering the owner's question, once the owner accumulates a sufficient quantity, the system will automatically help the owner assemble them together.
Additionally, the assembly can only start from the owner's current location. If the owner wants the Star Destroyer to function properly, the owner must personally travel to space for the system to perform the assembly.]
"Dammit! Do I have to go up there myself??"
This answer truly caught Lin Yi by surprise.
Damn, the system is ruthless, it directly sent me into space with one move!!
However, thinking about the space shuttle that can travel to and from Mars in the System Space, Lin Yi wasn't so shocked anymore.
Maybe someday, I'll really go up there for a stroll.
...
While Lin Yi was idly thinking here, the base on the ground had already turned into chaos.
Just now, not only did a third fighter jet disappear into thin air, but the rescue team also discovered something shocking.
A naked person had fallen from the sky.
Now they are rushing to the landing spot of that person.
However, the chances of survival have already been determined to be zero.
At the moment, the commander didn't dare to easily send more fighter jets up; with this situation, no matter how many more fighters they send, they wouldn't be enough!
He picked up a phone at hand, with the other end being his direct superior.
But after much thought, he still did not make the call. He knew that if he dialed this number, his career would truly come to an end.
It took him most of his life to reach his current position, and if he lost it, he'd have nothing left.
Lin Yi, who was up in the sky, waited for a moment and didn't see any more fighter jets coming up, so he knew that the other side was probably scared.
With a disdainful smirk, he prepared to leave.
However, just then, the mecha system unexpectedly spoke:
"Detected a large amount of energy required by the mecha nearby!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but look around in confusion, then asked:
"Is there mecha energy nearby?? Impossible, don't you need Helium-3??? Isn't this stuff supposed to be specially refined to produce?"
That's right, the mecha uses Helium-3, a clean, safe, and highly efficient nuclear fusion fuel.
To understand how incredible this energy is, you just need to run the numbers.
According to scientific statistics from before, just 10 tons of Helium-3 could meet all of Huaxia's energy needs for a year. Yes, that's the total amount of energy used nationwide.
Putting it another way, excluding other energy sources, Huaxia consumes about 700 million tons of oil each year alone!!
Moreover, just 100 tons of Helium-3 could supply the entire world for a year!!
This demonstrates how terrifyingly powerful Helium-3 is.
Yet the amount of Helium-3 on Earth is minimal, with only about 500 kilograms globally known to be easily accessible.
This is why all the Helium-3 in Lin Yi's mecha was reconstructed through the system.
This explains why Lin Yi is shocked upon hearing the mecha system say there's such an energy nearby!
It's just too precious.
The main issue is that it's almost impossible to find it on Earth.
The Moon, however, has a considerable amount, with scientists having detected that its crust has possibly millions of tons of Helium-3.
This abundant nuclear fuel could provide enough energy for humanity for tens of thousands of years.
This is why countries worldwide invest heavily in space exploration.
When Lin Yi learned about this, he also imagined building a base on the Moon when the chance arose.
He believed it wouldn't be too difficult with the system's help.
But that's for later; for now, Lin Yi's main concern is whether the mecha system's detection is true or not.
If it is, then by all means, he must get that energy.
After all, it wasn't easy for him to deconstruct and reconstruct Helium-3.
With this in mind, Lin Yi immediately instructed the mecha system to conduct a detailed survey.
Upon receiving the command, the mecha system began automatically piloting the mecha for a flight, quickly reaching a part of the sky where it stopped.
Through the clouds, Lin Yi could see an island below.
Moreover, it seemed rather large, not only with a base that has an airport runway.
There was even a massive aircraft carrier on the island's edge.
Seeing this, Lin Yi was even more puzzled.
Which faction could have built such a base on an island in international waters?
But that wasn't his business now; he needed to find out if there was Helium-3 there!
However, as Lin Yi observed the island, an alarm suddenly blared from the aircraft carrier's radar in its command center.
The radar operator began checking immediately and soon spotted a faint heat source at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
A stationary heat source at ten thousand meters—we can only assume it's probably something like a drone.
This realization caused immediate unrest, and the matter was reported right away.
Almost instantly, the carrier's commander contacted the base's officer.
The base commander, already distressed, perked up upon hearing the news from the carrier.
He knew this must be the culprit behind the disappearance of his four fighter jets.
Since I've located you, how can I let you get away!!
But realizing that his equipment couldn't deal with the opponent, he directly communicated with the carrier.
Moments later, both reached a consensus, and suddenly a launch silo cover on the aircraft carrier popped open.
Soon a massive cylindrical object slowly rose into the air.
Once cleared from the silo, its slow pace suddenly accelerated.
Countless correctional smokes burst rapidly around it.
In a moment, that cylindrical object, about five or six meters long, flew straight towards Lin Yi.
At that moment, Lin Yi, who was observing from above, suddenly froze.
Then he couldn't help but curse:
"Holy sh*t, you guys really give me too much credit!! You even use a Patriot missile??? Shooting a nuke at a mecha, you guys really outdid yourselves!!!"
Indeed, just now, the mecha system began frantically issuing alarms.
'Beep Beep Beep!! Warning! Warning!
The mecha has been locked by a large ballistic missile!!
The mecha's reaction speed can't avoid it in time!!
30% chance of being hit!!
Owner must evacuate immediately!!!
Owner must evacuate immediately!!!'
At this point, the previously composed Lin Yi was instantly panicked!!
Isn't this just absurd, even on international waters, you can't play like this!
For a moment, cold sweat started forming on Lin Yi's back.
A 30% chance isn't insignificant! If it hits, no matter how cool my mecha is, it won't withstand it!!!
[To be continued....]
PS, brothers, it's almost the end of the month, if you have any tickets, don't hold onto them!!!
