Colonia Storm Tour

Lin Haiyuan could only shake his head at this. If his Colonia flank base had arrived when the Eurasian Great Cataclysm had just occurred, he could have saved those who were originally traitors. But there were no "ifs," so he could only let them die.

Ultimately, those underground party members who were selected and deemed loyal survived were arranged into a somewhat scattered square formation.

Lin Haiyuan stood on the exhibition platform in the lower right corner of the Fenfeng Construction Site, holding onto the railing with both hands, looking at the underground party members with different expressions and various thoughts in their hearts.

These underground party members had a wide variety of professions, including cooks, shop owners, general laborers, sailors, and seamen.

To Lin Haiyuan's disappointment, the number of people who were actually sailors on warships and also served as captains, first mates, second mates, third mates, and sailors on civilian ships was less than half the number of people serving on 4V naval vessels!

Fortunately, he had a powerful tool originating from Epsilon that could turn these guys into captains with adequate theoretical knowledge, such as first officer, second officer, third officer, and so on.

Amidst the curious and surprised gazes of these people, Lin Haiyuan began to speak to them in a low, slightly hoarse tone that was out of character for a young man, a result of his intensive training as an apostle of the air pressure ball.

"To all the underground party members present, you have withstood the test of more than ten years of changes and the changing hearts of people, and you have upheld your faith and the oath you took under the red flag. You have lived up to the red book you have kept hidden so well! Even after the motherland lost most of its territory and its beloved leaders in the disaster, you still persisted. You are truly worthy members of the underground party, so congratulations to you."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking and inspected the underground party members below, seeing that they had become serious and no longer as carefree as before, he continued speaking.

"I think most of you here already know who I am, this seemingly young man, and what the significance of all this is, but I still want to reintroduce myself."

Lin Haiyuan leaned forward. "My name is Lin Haiyuan. I am the person in charge of the Republic's top-secret project 9991, and also the last survivor of the entire project in the disaster!"

The underground party members below, brought by Lin Haiyuan's drone, gasped in disbelief, staring at the young man before them with shocked expressions.

"I think you all have this knowledge etched into your minds: there were no survivors in the space earthquake of the Eurasian space disaster. But my existence is to tell you one thing: that common sense is wrong!!"

Lin Haiyuan subconsciously manipulated the surrounding air and blew it towards the underground party members in front of him, creating an impressive effect.

Lin Haiyuan scanned them with a deep gaze and asked, "Now, comrades, do you think that common sense is correct? Answer me loudly."

"Incorrect!!!!"

Xiao Yuanxun and Yuwen Fei took the lead in shouting "Incorrect!" and the others were also mobilized to shout "Incorrect!"

"Comrades, very good. When the time comes, we will not only prove that the conclusion that there are no survivors in the Eurasian space disaster area, which is considered common sense, is wrong, but we will also give a good slap in the face to those politicians, military commentators, and international observers who say that China has declined and can never rise again!"

After saying that, Lin Haiyuan didn't stop, but continued to talk on and on.

"Some comrades have already, and some comrades still do not understand, what ability do we have to make our motherland rise again and enable the Chinese nation to stand among the nations of the world once more?"

Lin Haiyuan stepped aside and pointed with his right hand at the Burning Wind Construction Site behind him. Everyone's eyes immediately followed his hand and looked at the Burning Wind Construction Site.

Terrifying drones, bizarre long-range drones, misty nanodrones, Vulture attack aircraft, Pteranodon attack aircraft, and Quetzalcoatl all appeared in these people's eyes.

"Everything you see now is the result of Project 9991!"

The underground party members below gasped in amazement once again, and some of the highly skilled technologists could see what all this meant.

Lin Haiyuan appreciated the reaction of the underground party members. "There will be even more surprising things waiting for you later. Calm down."

He pressed his hands down lightly, and the underground party members immediately quieted down.

“I have gathered you all here not to have you operate these war machines. With our current manpower shortage, there is no need for you comrades to do things that can be done with drones.”

Lin Haiyuan's words left the underground party members below somewhat bewildered. If they weren't being asked to operate these military equipment, then why were they summoned here?

Ding...

With a series of ringing lights being switched on, a huge holographic projection appeared behind Lin Haiyuan, showing the flagship of the Burning Wind Resistance Army: the Leviathan mothership.

Upon seeing the holographic projection and the Leviathan mothership on it, the underground party members were in an uproar once again.

They were all people with a certain level of education, and they could all see that the island superstructure in the background was enormous, and they could fully appreciate the grandeur and size of the Leviathan mothership.

"Comrades, these are the ships you will be boarding. You should all be able to tell from the island superstructure that this is an aircraft carrier. But please be careful, comrades, this is not an ordinary aircraft carrier."

Lin Haiyuan didn't continue the conversation: "You will be able to understand the specific ship information in an instant. At that time, each of you will return to this sea behemoth to serve, and follow our air force to fight against the possible arrival of the US Navy's Seventh Fleet."

His words were like lighting a powder keg, which has now exploded. Xiao Yuanxun and Yuwen Fei are the representatives of the explosion.

"Commander Lin, what's this?!"

Xiao Yuanxun looked at him with an incredulous expression.

"This is absolutely outrageous! Training a qualified sailor takes time, and to go against the U.S. Seventh Fleet? This is insane!"

Yuwen Fei instantly felt that Chief Lin, whose voice was so deep and unlike that of a young man, had gone mad.

"Quiet down, comrades."

Lin Haiyuan shouted loudly, and the invisible spiritual power he spread quickly quieted down the noisy underground party members.

"I think your first thought is that I'm crazy, not only asking you to ride that sea monster out to sea in a few days, but also to fight against the most powerful U.S. Navy fleet in the world. But let me tell you, this is not madness."

He waved his hand as he spoke. More holographic projections of the Leviathan mothership were then displayed.

Some of the underground party members counted carefully and found that there were a total of 4 holographic projections of the Leviathan mothership!

“I currently have four such aircraft carriers to allocate personnel to, and there will be more in the future, so don’t be too surprised.”

Lin Haiyuan finished speaking and didn't give them time to react. "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Everyone, follow me!"

Led by drones and Lin Haiyuan, these underground party members entered the interior of the Fenfeng construction site.

Then, inside the Foehn Wind Construction Site, they saw and heard something truly incredible: a full-face helmet with many tubes inserted into it.

"Memory recorder"

This helmet, which looks like it was made by an evil scientist to control people's minds, represents the pinnacle of Epsilon's research into the human mind and brain genetics.

The seemingly unattainable fully immersive VR experience was also completed incidentally, and through Rushdie, it ended up in the hands of Foehn.

"Comrades, learning is a very important thing for everyone, but it is also a very difficult thing, because one of the most important and tedious steps in learning is memorization. Memorization takes up most of your learning time and energy. For us, this is also a waste of human brain and time, and it hinders the pace of scientific development."

"Now, with this seemingly evil helmet, we will be able to solve this problem, we will solve the problem of memory, and it will be no problem to put any knowledge from the encyclopedia into your heads."

This has clearly sparked a new wave of amazement.

"The theoretical knowledge of how you will pilot those sea monsters will be engraved in your brain through this helmet, becoming an indelible part of your memory."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, Yuwen Fei raised a question.

"Commander Lin, please forgive my bluntness, but even with such a valuable artifact, it is impossible to instantly turn a person into a qualified crew member."

Yuwen Fei's honest statement resonated with many who had worked on ships.

"I've considered that too, comrades. Please put on this helmet first, and then you'll understand why I dare to send you to challenge the U.S. Navy fleet."

Lin Haiyuan smiled mysteriously, and had the terrifying drone, wearing a helmet called a memory recorder, go to each underground party member, and then a seat rose up from behind them.

"Sit down, then put on your helmet."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he sat down on the chair and put on the helmet. Everyone else, upon seeing their leader, put on the strange helmet without hesitation, all determined to wear it.

Without the memory recorder, Lin Haiyuan could not have become an apostle of the air pressure balloon so quickly and acquired so much knowledge.

The vast amount of knowledge about the Leviathan mothership flooded into these people's minds, ensuring that they would remember it forever, unless their brains were damaged or their mental powers were erased.

After the memory recording was completed, these people entered a brand new and unknown world through the memory recorder, a virtual reality world shaped by a quantum computer.

The memory recorder comes from Command & Conquer: Sakuraishi's Rebellious Brain Recorder; I recommend that book.

Miwa also had moments when he got impatient with the constant pressure to update, but when Miwa said that development would only take a few months, the production team members complained that the time to create the mission maps for EP11 and the "No Mercy" level was measured in years.

That's true, because the author has done something similar, and you can understand how complicated it is just by looking at it.

I'll try updating twice a day.

Chapter Eight: War Preparations

In this pure white world, one person after another appeared wearing the memory helmet.

"Hey, when did I put on this outfit?!"

Yuwen Fei looked down at his attire in disbelief. It was a black naval officer's uniform that was easily recognizable, but the decorations were somewhat different.

It had shoulder boards, but these shoulder boards did not indicate any rank; there was only a flag that looked like an eagle's wing with white forks—they couldn't recognize it as the flag of Colonia's flank.

The others reacted similarly to Yuwen Fei, also beginning to examine their own clothing.

A moment later, Lin Haiyuan's voice appeared in this pure white world.

"Comrades, how do you feel about the new clothes?"

Lin Haiyuan asked.

"Reporting to the commander, very good."

"Reporting to the commander, I feel good."

Such responses permeated this virtual world.

"Although you feel like you're wearing brand-new naval officer uniforms, it's all a fabrication, including your very existence here."

Lin Haiyuan's words stunned everyone.

"But all of this feels so real. Those tactile sensations won't lie to you. Everything here is also a result of Project 9991, virtual reality technology."

After Lin Haiyuan said this, most of the people present immediately understood what the situation was.

"So you not only acquire knowledge through memory recorders, but also put it into practice through virtual reality technology, which is one of the reasons why I dare to say that we are going against the U.S. Navy fleet."

He continued, “Every day you spend here is only a minute in the real world. But even so, every minute is precious because you don’t actually have much time to stay in this virtual world. The passenger ship carrying the foreign ministers of the United States, the European Union, and Japan will arrive in only one week. You only have half a week to train in this virtual world, so you have to make the most of your time.”

After that, the four large Chinese characters "Training Begins" appeared in the sky above the virtual world, and everyone immediately disappeared from their original positions, arriving at their respective combat posts in the next instant.

Based on advanced drone technology and equipped with a maintenance system and automated manufacturing and launch system consisting of multiple nano-drone containers, the Leviathan carrier is larger than the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but requires far fewer personnel. It does not need thousands of people, but only a few. Therefore, there is more redundant space to set up compartments and heavy armor or install other equipment on the Leviathan carrier.

The modular design of the Leviathan mothership brought about a revolutionary change, allowing it to become a multi-purpose mothership.

Because the adversary became the real-world U.S. Navy, some of the Leviathan motherships produced abandoned the Son of Mosa drones that used plasma bombs for bombing, and instead used a type of drone that made people's eyelids twitch.

That is the exclusive unit of the Mad Shark Vanguard: the Bursting Bee.

When the Megalodon mech and Shadley sonic tank of the Shark Vanguard face unreachable targets, it's time for the Burst Bee to come into play.

This seemingly harmless small unmanned aerial vehicle has forced Epsilon to deploy more air defense weapons than before; it is a single-use explosive drone designed to carry out kamikaze attacks.

Upon receiving an attack command, it will quickly identify the target and launch itself, causing a powerful explosion that inflicts massive damage on all objects within range.

The Shark Vanguard uses this unit to eliminate key targets in enemy tank companies or infantry regiments, but they are less effective against buildings.

If possible, it's best to have the Burst Bees avoid anti-air units rather than facing enemy fire directly.

Now that Lin Haiyuan has access to the Mad Shark Vanguard technology tree, he can naturally manufacture these kamikaze drones to deal with enemies.

If given the opportunity, Lin Haiyuan would prefer to use heavy, supersonic anti-ship missiles made of granite or volcanic rock—those that are dark, rough, and readily available—to target aircraft carriers. These supersonic anti-ship missiles were specifically designed for use against US aircraft carriers.
