Colonia Storm Tour

The Last Bastion, Colonia Flanking, and Shark Vanguard all have more convenient orbital strike systems, so why use an intercontinental ballistic missile that only has the power of a tactical nuclear weapon and stealth penetration capabilities? It's just too ridiculous.

However, neither Lin Haiyuan nor Alice expected that something that should have been kept in the hangar for its entire life would actually have a chance to be used. Now that the orbital strike system is unusable, this intercontinental ballistic missile has a purpose because it can be launched without going through orbit.

"Walker.com AI is preparing the Three-Legged Golden Crow Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Now we need these rather bizarre-looking intercontinental ballistic missiles to carry out the strike. Now is the time for these missiles to play their role."

Lin Haiyuan operated the buttons on the control panel in front of him to switch guidance modes and began to accurately measure the coordinates of the target to provide an intercontinental ballistic missile strike with an extremely low error rate.

All intercontinental ballistic missiles have a circular error probable (CEP), which is a measure of a missile's accuracy. This CEP determines the distance your missile will land around the point of impact. If the Leap of Faith does not provide precise strike coordinates, this CEP may prevent the missile from fully exerting its power over the target.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow intercontinental ballistic missile does not possess the destructive power commensurate with intercontinental ballistic missiles. Given the limited number of such missiles, the circular error probable (CEP) problem becomes particularly critical, thus requiring more precise strike coordinates.

"Yes, Master."

Walker.net AI immediately teleported several Flamecat tri-purpose launchers in the hangar to a cliff island near the "Three Sacred Stars" island via hyperspace teleportation. It also teleported other units to construct an intercontinental ballistic missile launch site, ready to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles for strikes at any time.

"Walker AI, precision strike data is being uploaded. Wait for my order to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles together, aiming to destroy the facilities at the same time."

Lin Haiyuan wouldn't just aim at one spot and fire a single shot; that would leave a highly vigilant enemy wondering what methods they could use to defend against intercontinental ballistic missiles.

It's important to know that in Comedy Showdown, the most common way for Ghosts to die isn't from running out of energy and becoming visible, or from being detected and killed by anti-cloaking units during gameplay.

Instead, the enemy was startled by his adjutant's words, "A fusion strike has been detected en route." The Ghost was killed by the enemy, who rushed in with anti-cloaking units, while it was guiding the tactical fusion strike, and it let out a bloodcurdling scream. If you don't want the enemy to realize that there is a Ghost-like being guiding a nuclear strike, then don't do it.

After uploading the precise strike data to the intercontinental ballistic missile, Lin Haiyuan quickly drove away in his Wind God Wing Dragon to avoid being discovered by the more vigilant Ring Messenger, who had already dispatched a patrol team.

In the virtual world, "Agent, we were unable to locate the unknown force's spaceship that carried out the orbital bombardment."

"They're really fast. Keep monitoring the planet's orbit to make sure we can spot that damned spaceship as soon as it warps over."

The agent waved his hand dismissively, clearly displeased.

"Yes, sir. We are warping through enough Void Flowers to detect and monitor the situation in the universe."

The Void Crystal Core replied.

"Be on high alert. Now that bastard has destroyed the Zao Heavy Industries branch we control in Hokkaido, other Zao Heavy Industries branches in the Sakura Islands must also be among his targets."

As a precaution, the agent specifically instructed that the buildings producing troops should continue to be monitored in order to prepare a more powerful military force to "conquer" the planet and then turn it into a virtual world.

During this period, Lin Haiyuan had the Leap of Faith perform a warp jump and then accelerate to the vicinity of the target location to improve the real-time uploaded precision strike coordinates.

The entire warp drive—accelerating to the designated position and locking onto the precise coordinates of the target—while facing a heavily fortified enemy, appears thrilling and exciting. However, as long as the Ring Messengers don't notice the warp signal and maintain a high altitude, those Ring Messenger units primarily defending low altitudes have no way of detecting the stealthy Leap of Faith. Therefore, it's just a very ordinary experience. This ordinariness is like walking home—something you're used to and take for granted.

This might put those seeking thrills and excitement to sleep. In fact, given the inability to eliminate the "illusory fog," this type of action is the most suitable option when facing an almost endless enemy force. Fighting a war of attrition that is disadvantageous to oneself is always a last resort and a desperate measure.

However, Lin Haiyuan is not a person with an ordinary mindset. He can still maintain a serious attitude to carry out "boring" actions. He will not feel bored just because he is not in the midst of gunfire, artillery bombardment, or a large-scale military operation. Under the current circumstances, it is very difficult to mobilize a large army. Lin Haiyuan will only choose to openly appear and confront the opponent head-on if he has enough Kodiak warships.

Ideally, there would still be battlecruisers. In Comedy Contest 2, the standard warships of the Terran Empire are still flagship-level warships for the Foehn Wind. Of course, Blizzard has never given specific data on battlecruisers. Even if there is data, it is only mentioned in the official novels that the size of the Busephalos is mentioned.

Remember that the Busephalos was the royal flagship of Valerian, the most devoted son of the Koprulu Sector. Her dimensions were 550 meters in length and 82.4 meters in width…

If this data can be used as the volume data for other Minotaur-class battlecruisers besides the Gorgon-class battlecruisers, then from the perspective of most space opera enthusiasts, it is truly shameful for a mere destroyer to dare to call itself a battlecruiser. It should be renamed the Tyrannosaurus Rex destroyer instead of disgracing battleships, just like that Italian destroyer that pretends to be a battleship!

By the standards of Comedy Showdown 2, the battlecruiser built by Foehnwind is actually comparable to or even larger than the Gorgon battlecruiser. However, it looks better than the Gorgon battlecruiser, which is like a Lincoln limousine. After all, the Gorgon battlecruiser is often mistaken for two ribs, while Foehnwind's battlecruiser does not create this illusion.

Therefore, it can easily compete with those "virtual creations" such as the Destroyer Warship, Sky Overlord Carrier, and Void Decay Warship, and is even stronger than ordinary battlecruisers.

Typical battlecruisers don't yet have "force field shields" or "missile bays." They only have the most basic and reliable twin laser gun emplacements and Yamato guns reinforced with electromagnetic coils, as well as tactical flapping to improve maneuverability.

And what about the Foehn-class battlecruiser? Not only is it equipped with a more powerful force field shield generator, but it also has two rows of eight "Wavebreaker" anti-ship missile launchers for attacking ships, and it has a better and more powerful twin plasma cannon to unleash a massive plasma barrage. Even more terrifying are the "Avalon/Mechanical Creation" main gun systems.

The standard Yamato gun weapon system requires 100 weapons specialists on the ship to operate the independent frequency converter and complex fire control system. The battlefield manual states that a single shot from the Yamato gun is powerful enough to destroy a city on a large scale. It also states that a high-intensity magnetic field is used to confine and highly concentrate a small controlled nuclear explosion into a focused energy beam to launch an attack.

The Battlefield Manual describes it so beautifully, but what about the actual effect... In the campaign, the majestic battlecruisers and Colossi, thanks to Blizzard's balance, have become mascots in the battles. Most disappointingly, Blizzard never did the cinematic effects of the battlecruisers' main guns firing and exploding. It's hard to see the effect described in the Battlefield Manual in the game. Moreover, when using them for orbital bombardment, the battlecruisers drop nuclear bombs, making it even harder to see the corresponding effect.

More importantly, all that's needed is an absolutely beautiful artificial elf captain, not some old geezer who's stuck with a 50-crystal ore guy who'll yell "Oh my good buddy!" and then jump around a few times while firing 8mm spiked ammunition from a C-14 electromagnetic rifle before yelling to abandon ship. And no other crew members are needed.

Of course, this is not to say that weapons like the Yamato cannon are ineffective. It's just that developing such weapons would take a lot of time. In the crisis environment at the time, it was absolutely not permissible for battleships and cruisers to use main guns. It was most suitable to directly use existing products, modify them, and mount them on warships. The two most powerful energy weapons in the Foehn winds, the "Mechanical Creation" particle impact cannon and the "Avalon" plasma railgun, are the only two examples of this.

In fact, later battles proved that the two weapons were no less effective than the Yamato Cannon, which seemed very powerful in the description. Moreover, the domino effect of damage caused by the affinity between the particle impact cannon and the proton impact cannon was much better than the Yamato Cannon, which did not have much sustained damage. As for the Avalon Plasma Railgun, opinions on its comparison with the two are subjective.

After all, particle impact projectiles still have a certain delay due to their trajectory, and the target may be able to maneuver to evade the impact of the particle impact projectile, rather than being launched and chasing you to the ends of the earth like a real Yamato cannon.

Plasma beams are not significantly affected by ballistics because their beam characteristics are: "hit upon exiting the barrel" is their most prominent feature.

Lin Haiyuan was paying attention to the radar and telepathic sensor on the monitor when he received a message from the Orange Foxes who had suffered a shock to their worldview.

"Commander, Urakaze, Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Tanikaze have something they want to discuss with you."

Orange Fox's melodious voice echoed in Lin Haiyuan's ears.

"Bring them in in a minute. I'm currently controlling the Leap of Faith to designate precise strike coordinates."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he patted Hei Yu on the back.

"Alright, Kuroba, clean up your body."

He and Kuroba then quickly cleaned up their somewhat disheveled lower bodies, using cleaning equipment delivered by a drone from the cabin to remove the odor and other stains.

After cleaning up and tidying up her clothes, Orange Fox led the four destroyer lolis, Urakaze, Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Tanikaze, into the cabin.

The guard with the normal expression stood to Lin Haiyuan's left, while the orange fox returned to its position to guard Lin Haiyuan's right.

"Black Feather, Orange Fox, move aside so they can come to my side. I can't leave my seat right now."

Lin Haiyuan steered the Leap of Faith toward the next destination.

"Yes."

Black Feather and Orange Fox each stepped aside, making enough space for the four destroyer lolis to split into two groups and surround Lin Haiyuan's seat on either side.

"Your names are Urakaze, Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Tanikaze, right? Please split into two teams and come to my side. I'm piloting the plane and it's inconvenient for me to turn around and talk to you."

As he said this, his hands were rapidly tapping the buttons on the cockpit control panel.

Urakaze, Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Tanikaze then split into two teams and went to both sides of Lin Haiyuan. They did not have the ability or skill to make Lin Haiyuan turn around and speak under the current circumstances.

"Orange Fox just told me that you had something you wanted to discuss with me. Tell me what you wanted to discuss with me."

Lin Haiyuan glanced at Pu Feng and Bin Feng, who were leading the group, with his left and right eyes respectively.

"Commander, where are you taking me next?"

Pu Feng's question was so simple, because this "departure/retreat" was different from the past; once they left Sakura Empire, they would never be able to return.

"Will we never be able to return to this planet... this world, Commander?"

Hamafu hesitated somewhat in his choice of words.

“If this planet can still be saved, you will all remain here unless there is a special need. It seems you haven’t realized it yet? I have no way to take you back to my original world.”

At most, Lin Haiyuan would only take them to the Cangyue back base.

"Huh?"

The four destroyer lolis were stunned. They hadn't expected Lin Haiyuan to say that there was no way to take them back to their original world.

"This is why I said I was trying to protect myself. I came to this world by accident and I don't have the technology or ability to travel between worlds, so it's impossible for me to take you back to your original world. If my friends don't find me, they will have to stay in this world for a very long time, or even forever."

Lin Haiyuan had no intention of hiding anything from them; it was something they would find out sooner or later anyway.

The prince and princess in Glass Shard are both oddballs; the idiot and Valerian are the best examples.

Jaina ended up getting together with Kalecgos, the blue dragon. I feel quite sorry for Jaina. Putting aside her foolishness, the fact that she turned to the dark side and went all out against the Horde after being blown up by Grom Hellscream's Horde with Focusing Iris makes me feel there's not much to say about Jaina. She's a pitiful character who can't please either side. She helped a lot to maintain peace between the Alliance and the Horde, but ended up like this. It's truly heartbreaking. In the end, it was Varian who calmly stopped Thrall from killing Grom Hellscream.

In summary: Whoever occupies the position of Chieftain of the Horde is doomed (into the dungeon).

Chapter Thirteen: The Jealousy of Time (XIII)

Upon hearing Lin Haiyuan's words, Urakaze, Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Tanikaze, as naval ship girls, easily understood the situation Lin Haiyuan was facing.

He immediately understood Lin Haiyuan's situation; he was just a man who had come to the deserted island after a shipwreck with two loyal guards.

"Then... Commander Lin Haiyuan, are we all going to be living in such a huge aircraft from now on?"

Pu Feng asked the question calmly.

"This is just a special operations aircraft that I use to carry out covert missions. It's impossible for you to live on it. This special operations aircraft always needs to land and be maintained somewhere."

Lin Haiyuan controlled the Leap of Faith Pteranodon and accelerated towards the nearest branch of Zao Heavy Industries.

"So, there's another large airport to park the planes, but where is it?"

Isokaze asked curiously.

"The specific location is on Three Star Island in the Atlantic Ocean, which is where my Leap of Faith is docked."

Lin Haiyuan gently tapped the button with his left ring finger, and the Leap of Faith's acceleration percentage increased even faster.

"Sanshengxing Island in the Ocean of the Great Horn?...Isokaze, have you ever heard of this island?"

Pu Feng thought for a while but couldn't recall any islands in the Dajiaoyang Ocean with the name Sanshengxing.

"Three Saints Star Island? Hmm... I've never heard of it."

Isokaze thought for a moment and realized he had never heard of the existence of the Three Saints Star Island.

"Hamikaze?"

Urakaze looked towards Hamakaze on his right.

“Three Saints Star Island… This is the first time I’ve ever heard of an island with this name. I’ve never heard of it before.”

Hamakaze shook his head in confusion.

"Me too, this is the first time I've ever heard of an island called the Three Saints Star."

Tanikaze, like Hamakaze, was perplexed.

The four destroyer lolis could only turn their attention back to him, who was piloting the Leap of Faith.

“Three Saints Star Island is a remote island in the Great Horn Ocean that I recently named. It’s only natural that you haven’t heard of it. I have already established an operation base on Three Saints Star Island, which can ensure that we will not be discovered by the Ring Messenger and can start our operations or live there in peace.”

Lin Haiyuan even specially brought up two holographic projections to show the location of Sanshengxing Island in the Dajiaoyang Ocean, so that Urakaze and Isokaze, as well as Hamakaze and Tanakaze, who were sitting on either side of the seats, could see it.

A holographic projection emitting a faint green light appeared before them, startling the four destroyer lolis.

Urakaze and Isokaze's animal ears twitched in fright, and they took a step back along with Hamakaze and Tanikaze. The white and brown "cats" on their heads also looked like cats with their fur standing on end, watching the holographic projection warily.

They made it seem like one man could hold off ten thousand, but it was just a holographic projection.

"It's just a holographic projection, nothing dangerous."

Lin Haiyuan offered a reminder.

"Holographic projection..."
