Colonia Storm Tour

Then, in the next phase of intensive training, Lin Haiyuan was grabbed by the arms of the nanobots and "swung" on the edge of the empty city on the flank of Colonia.

Lin Haiyuan was swung back and forth like a swing, trying to feel the cold air currents with his body and to stare directly at the distant, unreachable sea that had become turbulent under the influence of the air currents.

Lin Haiyuan, who did not have a fear of heights, was almost scared into developing a fear of heights during the training. Each training session was sudden and caught him completely off guard.

In the commander's quarters at the Colonia flank headquarters, one could be captured by nanobots and subjected to horrific crash training while sleeping, eating, showering, or reading.

After a series of grueling training exercises, commonly known as the Colonia Flanking Barriers' training sessions, the Colonia Flanking Base finally moved to its designated combat location.

The waters just 100 meters from Keelung Port are constantly teeming with typhoons, making the crew members in the port think twice about whether setting sail now is suicidal.

Warships and commercial vessels that had already received typhoon warnings were locked in port, even though meteorological experts said the typhoon peak would pass through the waters between Keelung and Huaping Island.

However, such strong winds will inevitably cause drastic fluctuations in the seawater flow, and creating towering waves that will crash into the surrounding area is not a problem at all.

Indeed, the waves created by the Colonia storm were constantly splashing across Keelung Harbor and other islands.

Upon reaching the designated combat location, the hangar's nanobots completed the final checks on the Stormbringer Airborne Division, after which the fighter jets "took flight."

The Venom fighter... no mistake, the Vulture attack aircraft's design originated from (the abandoned multi-role fighter concept of RA3). It uses two cyclone engines on both sides of the fuselage to provide power to the fuselage, while the entire Vulture attack aircraft is powered by a Tesla reactor based on Tesla technology. This allows the Vulture attack aircraft to avoid the fuel carrying problems of traditional aircraft, and it also has agility that surpasses attack aircraft and even fighter aircraft.

Because its cyclone engine has a 360-degree rotating vector propulsion function!

With the development of aviation and weapons technology on Earth, fighter jets such as the F-35B and the Yonhap are called vertical and short takeoff and landing (VSTOL) fighters. In order to achieve vertical takeoff and landing, these fighters are generally equipped with thrust vectoring nozzles or separate lift fans, enabling them to perform unconventional maneuvers that are unimaginable for conventional fighters.

For example, during a vertical climb, a VTOL fighter jet can use a rotating nozzle to freely point its nose during the climb, whereas a conventional fixed-wing fighter jet must climb to a suitable position and then descend to increase its speed in order to regain an attack angle against the VTOL aircraft.

Although vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fighters do not have advantages in thrust and wing loading, they can gain a considerable degree of rapid pointing advantage by using thrust vectoring.

However, despite such air combat advantages, VTOL fighters have not become the mainstream form of fighter jets because they must take off in environments lacking runways, and their thrust-to-weight ratio must be greater than 1.

The effective payload of the fighter jet is limited, and what's worse, the vectoring nozzle is a fuel guzzler. After one or two unconventional maneuvers, your combat fuel tank will be empty!

The Vulture attack aircraft would face the same problem if it used a conventional aircraft engine, but by adopting an extraordinary cyclone engine and a powerful Tesla reactor, it has gotten rid of the fuel tank problem.

Therefore, after the rectangular cyclone engines on both sides of the Vulture attack aircraft complete their task of raising the aircraft's initial altitude, they rotate counterclockwise by 45 degrees, changing from downward to backward tilt, and accelerate towards a higher altitude.

After the Condor attack aircraft took off, the Pteranodon attack aircraft, positioned as aerial behemoth tanks, also took off vertically one after another.

Unlike the Vulture attack aircraft, which has rectangular cyclone engines on both sides that can rotate 360 ​​degrees, the Pteranodon attack aircraft cannot rotate its cyclone engines. However, its thick and large fuselage allows it to carry additional anti-gravity devices to gain sufficient flight altitude and then use the large cyclone engine on its rear to obtain a high enough initial velocity to accelerate into the air and move quickly. This gives it a theoretically higher speed than the smaller Vulture attack aircraft.

Moreover, it is more robust than the Vulture attack aircraft, and can be called a flying heavy tank, which makes it very difficult for ordinary air defense weapons to deal with it.

The next aircraft to take off, the "Queen Loong," unlike the Condor and Pteranodon attack aircraft, did not have their obvious cyclone engines. Instead, it was discreetly mounted on the fuselage between the tail and the wing.

Like the Vulture attack aircraft, the Quetzal uses a cyclone engine and a Tesla reactor, and can also rotate 360 ​​degrees. However, due to the weight of the fuselage and the limitations of its own airframe design, it does not have the same flight speed as the Vulture and the Pteranodon attack aircraft. However, the purpose of the Quetzal is not to perform air-to-air missions, but to send out Quetzal drones to scout and locate the positions that need to be targeted for orbital strikes.

This type of orbital strike launches a hybrid plasma bomb that dives at high speed and explodes violently upon impact with the ground. After the parent bomb explodes, it splits into many sub-bombs for secondary bombing.

The fourth is Colonia's answer to the struggle for air superiority on its flank: the Evergreen Air Outpost.

This strangely shaped aircraft, which looks like it has an enlarged and thickened nose and four powerful turbines, has the strongest airflow manipulation capability among the Foehn units.

The Long-lived Bird Outpost can not only launch air pressure balloons to quickly destroy aircraft, but also create a powerful tornado below it. This destructive whirlwind can effectively eliminate or severely damage ground units. This tornado will also cause great damage to aircraft flying at an altitude lower than or equal to the tornado.

Such powerful weapons also brought negative effects. The advanced and sophisticated equipment could not withstand too much anti-aircraft fire at the Changsheng Bird air outpost. Moreover, the wind power control effect was indiscriminate, so it was divided into a separate flight group for this reason. These aircraft mostly carried out independent operations.

Finally, there are six aerial behemoths, the Quetzal transport aircraft. These transport aircraft, based on the Quetzalcoatl and equipped with large cyclone engines, have transport pod modules that serve entirely different purposes.

The planned wide-area electromagnetic pulse bombs were cancelled and replaced with two airflow guidance modules. These modules would guide the airflow in a surrounding area to increase the speed of units using cyclone engines, much like the acceleration towers deployed through the Cloud Piercing Spire. All the aircraft on Colonia's flanks used cyclone engines, so the entire fleet's speed soared to 175% of the theoretical maximum flight speed!

Three of the Aeolus transport aircraft, equipped with airflow guidance modules, radar and electronic countermeasures modules, and drone pods, will follow the first, second, and third flight groups to sweep and recover those military bases. Whether it is steel or the remnants of human flesh, everything will be recovered and taken away by nanobots.

Even if someone or a fighter jet attempts to retaliate, they will find to their despair that their missiles are useless, and even the infrared guidance mode cannot operate under the interference of powerful electronic countermeasures devices.

As for trying to fight with cannons? The four super-heavy machine guns with plasma warheads on the wings and nose of the Vulture attack aircraft will teach them a lesson. How can modern fighter jets possibly compete with the Vulture in terms of maneuverability?

As for the other two Meizu transport aircraft, they were not equipped with radar and electronic countermeasures modules. Instead, they were equipped with the Fotenfeng mobile construction vehicle, a key vehicle indispensable for any military operation.

To establish a complete Foehn base, the Foehn mobile construction vehicle is indispensable. To build 4V Island and its affiliated islands into a large, integrated Foehn naval base, the Foehn MCV is even more essential.

These four MCVs will be deployed in Keelung City, Keelung Port, and Taipei City for the construction of forward bases and naval bases for the Foehn wind.

I only have time to update today because I had to take a day off from work. I have more time to update during my days off.

Without holidays, I'm working overtime every day, which is incredibly stressful. I only have time to write in the mornings.

The year the protagonist arrives at this point has been changed from 2017 to 2014, which is the year the fire occurred in Nanko Town, Tengu City.

How would I know the specific month and date?

Looking back at the changes, I realized that 2017 was misspelled as 2071... Holy crap.

The MO website doesn't specify what kind of engine the Furnace uses, and the Tesla reactor is something I made up.

When playing RA3, you can notice that during takeoff and flight, the engines of the Baltic, Peacekeeper, and Century aircraft rotate at different angles. The MiG is a bit special, as it maintains levitation through two downward-facing nozzles on its cylindrical fuselage. The Tengu is different in that its wings unfold and retract, and it doesn't have a blue glow on its rear.

Chapter Three: The Stormbringer

2014年，1月9号，AM6:30

Location: 4V Island, Keelung Port.

With only 14 days left until Lunar New Year's Eve, a time for family reunions, this normally bustling port, used for both military and commercial purposes, was about to be ravaged by an unprecedented typhoon.

After a brief period of excitement, once the crew and port personnel had reinforced the ships and taken precautions against the wind and waves, no one remained outside the port except for the personnel who had to grit their teeth or be stubborn enough to stand guard, those who were fearless... or those who were simply homeless.

Apart from the sounds of waves, howling winds, rattling chains, and barking dogs, there were no other sounds in the entire port, at least not any other human voices overtly.

In the director's office of the Keelung Port Authority, the current director, Hsiao Yuan-hsun, sat silently in his leather armchair, his face somber and looking rather listless.

A little while later, he washed his face with his rosy hands and patted his cheeks. Then he got up from the sofa and went to the first locked drawer of his desk. He took out the key from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it.

He pulled the drawer open until his palm was wide enough to fit inside, then put his hand inside and rummaged through it, caressing a small red notebook as if he were stroking his lover.

If someone could see through things or pull out the drawer completely, they would definitely be able to see what kind of gold lettering was printed on that little red book!

Xiao Yuanxun turned his head and looked out the window at the calm sky before the storm. He gazed longingly, as if he could see the mainland of his motherland hidden behind the thick rain clouds.

After the Eurasian space catastrophe, everything he loved in the northern part of China was destroyed in the space epicenter. He no longer had any superiors he could contact directly, nor could he ever go to that memorial hall to make a sacred, solemn, and respectful pilgrimage to pay homage to the great man who turned the tide and shocked the world.

The CCPD agents on the mainland will never have another chance to reunify Taiwan. This spy, who only communicated with his superiors one-way, is like a kite with a broken string. He has not only lost contact but also lost his direction. He can only drift aimlessly forward in the torrent of time.

Former comrades have also betrayed the promises they once swore to uphold, failing to prepare for the day when liberation would come, instead living like zombies, or even degenerating.

Frankly speaking, it's already quite kind of them that his fellow spies didn't betray him and get promoted, or even if they did, ZMD wouldn't have given them much benefit.

Is it going to be another mundane, uneventful day?

Xiao Yuanxun asked himself this question in his heart, but he knew very well that the answer did not exist, and he understood the answer perfectly well.

Boom!

A twisted bolt of lightning flashed in the dark sky, this thunderbolt that almost ripped through the heavens reflected a ghastly white light, seemingly proclaiming a future of utter silence.

However, this thunderclap does not signify a future of utter silence, but rather a brighter future!

“A storm apporaches.”

After Lin Haiyuan uttered a line from the Pteranodon, he looked at the holographic projection video in the command room—everything that the "eyes" of each unit could see could be transmitted and displayed on the holographic projection video in real time.

The storm messengers on Colonia's flank have appeared in the skies above the battlefield!

As the first and second flight groups of the initial attack force, the Condor and Wing Loong attack aircraft roared as they swooped down from high altitude to low altitude, heading toward the Japanese and American military bases located in the mountains on both sides of the port.

Because the electronic countermeasures modules on the Quetzalcoatl and Quetzal transport aircraft absorbed all the radar echoes, neither the US nor the Japanese forces at the two military bases noticed the Stormbringer descending from the clouds on the flank of Colonia.

"What the fuck?!"

The black radar operator on duty, wearing headphones, cursed loudly. He noticed that the radar screen, which had been emitting a green light, was now covered in static, meaning they were under electronic interference!

Just as he was about to sound the alarm to warn others in the military base of an enemy attack, the vengeful drone, like a vengeful spirit, emitted a strange sound, drew a circle around the radar station in the military base, and then floated back into the fuselage of the Quetzal.

The next moment, a deep blue plasma bomb with a pale glow at its center descended from the sky with a muffled whistle, violently smashing through radar antennas and other supporting structures before exploding inside.

With the earth-shattering sound of the hybrid plasma bomb exploding, the entire ground seemed to shake as if shaken by the explosion.

The entire radar station collapsed and shattered like a sandcastle hammered down on the beach.

Boom!

A pale thunderclap once again ripped the sky apart. In the pale lightning, the Vulture attack aircraft with its pure black paint scheme looked like the Grim Reaper reaping lives, and in fact, that's exactly what they did.

Heavy machine gun rounds with plasma warheads were sprayed at all military targets displayed on infrared sensors within the military base. Ordinary machine gun rounds already have the deadly penetrating power to cut unprotected living targets into two or three pieces, but with the addition of scorching plasma as part of the warhead, the high temperature of the plasma can further "melt" the target upon impact.

The military tents, which offered little defense, quickly collapsed and caught fire under the intense heat of the plasma. Even facilities protected by cement and steel could not hold out for long, as the Vulture attack aircraft could also lower its nose and fire its two heavy anti-aircraft machine guns on its wings.

As for those American soldiers, they couldn't even get their Stinger man-portable missiles out before they were turned into indistinguishable mincemeat. As for the Patriot missile air defense system and the Avenger field air defense system in the base...

These air defense vehicles, equipped with "air-powered projectiles" with highly penetrating armor from the pressurized turrets of the Pteranodon attack aircraft enhanced by sonic devices, are more vulnerable than a piece of paper.

The Quetzal drones can not only be dispatched one at a time to mark the location of orbital strikes, but also launch spherical plasma bombs from the Uranus satellite system in orbit, which fall like a meteor shower.

After a powerful impact on the target, the electromagnetic field that had been binding the high-temperature plasma could no longer contain the expanding plasma. The plasma then exploded violently, obliterating the land-based Patriot air defense missile site and leaving only a crater. The resulting secondary plasma fragments then dug a second crater – with the radar system destroyed, these land-based air defense missiles were rendered useless.

The Japanese military bases located to the west received the same treatment as the American military bases to the east, and were destroyed in the same way.

In this world, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force... oh no, it should be the Japanese Army is becoming more normalized. Although the Heisei era is still full of otaku, at least the soldiers in it are still soldiers, not just nine-to-five office workers.

This allowed Lin Haiyuan's aircraft to effectively clear out Japanese army personnel concentrated in the military base area.

After the first and second flight groups had finished their raids, no living person could be seen on the infrared sensors within the military base area. With no more air defense firepower in the vicinity that could threaten the Fengshen transport aircraft, Lin Haiyuan began to direct the Fengshen transport aircraft to descend from high altitude.

Undoubtedly, the violent explosion of the hybrid bomb attracted the attention of the surrounding residents. The thunder could not mask the unique sound of the plasma bomb's explosion, and the light green gunfire that was different from lightning, as well as the distinctive engine sound of the Colonia side-wing aircraft, all drew the attention of those residents who were terrified by the peak of the typhoon.

Because the aircraft were generally painted in black and white, the residents couldn't really tell what they were. However, people with military knowledge and experience could recognize them as aircraft by the sparse lights, even though they found it unbelievable!

After the first and second air groups swept through American and Japanese military bases like a whirlwind, the remaining 4V Strawberry Soldiers were no longer able to stop them, but they still had to carry out suppression missions.

The first Fengshen transport plane landed on the ruins of the US military base, and the two containers on the transport modules on both sides of the fuselage, which contained nano-recovery robots, long-range drones, and terror drones, immediately opened.

First, tiny nano-recovery drones, so small that even when clustered together they only form a very faint mist, began collecting valuable debris from the surrounding area, following orders from headquarters via a remote transfer module on the Fengshen transport aircraft.

Then came the long-range drones and the terror drones, which poured out of the container in an orderly fashion like a tide.

The steel limbs of the terror drones clanged and creaked as they surged toward the surrounding harbor on command, while the Long-Range Drones, equipped with airflow actuators and accelerated by airflow guidance modules, achieved speeds comparable to the terror drones.

The first objective of these drones was to control key parts of Keelung Port. The terror drones were responsible for capturing those who tried to escape and fight back, while the long-range drones used their tricks, such as stasis rays, to completely "paralyze" those who tried to escape.

The decision will be made by Walker.com's AI or by Lin Haiyuan, regarding whether or not to use a terrorist drone to execute the animals and then hand them over to a nano-recycling robot for recovery.

Creatures hit by stasis rays lose control of their brains and become unable to control their bodies, resulting in a state similar to sleep paralysis.

The second Fengshen transport plane also landed in the ruins of the Japanese military base. After releasing the robots inside the container, their goal was not to control the interior of Keelung Port, but to establish a blockade.
