Strategist expected the Albatrus’ completion to take 3 or 4 months. They finally saw results a few more weeks after 4 of those months.
1000 members going.
Their group is made up of Lifers who are all level B or beyond. The cyborgs behind them are also at the top.
They will assist with the Albatrus’ system and take care of what Lifers cannot. They can be thought of as seamen.
The Albatrus’ huge form shaped as bilateral streamlines is appearing on top of the support fixture entangled in a complicated manner. Because they created most of the ship’s hull out of black iron alloy, it looks black from the outside and is glossy as if coated.
950m in length, 250m in width, 250m in height, total weight including load 1.2 million tons.
The width and height are the same to create a circular hull. It’s impossible to tell where the front and back is and where the entrance is by sight. They can’t do it, but it looks like it’ll just go rolling if they push it over.
Its appearance, configuration, and even its weight did not make sense.
Zing.
When Strategist sent a signal from the head, a part of the hull opened dozens of square structures 5m by 5m came out into the air and came down. The method of boarding is unusual as it is a cutting-edge level S store weapon. When they stepped onto the structures, they were automatically taken on board.
The Lifers went to went to their designated rooms in order to unpack their bags but after this, their roles become clearly divided by level. None of them can be looked down on because they’re all level B Lifers. However, there are clear distinctions in those higher and lower.
The lowest were on standby in waiting rooms placed throughout the Albatrus under their respective party leaders control so that they could go into battle at any time.
The main system from headquarters will be activated soon. Force leaders took their places where 8 sub-systems had been placed in order to assist.
Cha Jun Sung’s group and Strategist’s group go into the command room.
Dozens of cyborgs are sitting in front of computers under the command room. Strategist took the chip out of his PDA and stuck it in the command room’s main system.
Then the Albatrus, which had been running on minimal energy with a level C energy core, began to run properly.
[Albatrus’ main system activated. I, Uranos, Ollaborke Den’s helper, will carry out duties as the General of this ship, the Captain.]
It is impossible for these simple Lifers to control the Albatrus. Even the 8 sub-systems will be controlled by the force leaders’ helpers.
The subs are being submitted to the main temporarily. They act independently, but the main system gets the final say so that they cannot act arbitrarily. Put negatively, Uranos is basically the king while aboard Albatrus. But still, he’s just a helper assisting Lifers.
Albatrus’ engine grows hot due to the energy cores and there are sudden changes on board, but this did not show outside.
The ship is being activated, but they have not turned on the propeller that will take them forward.
If they turn the propeller on while on land, it will break through the stadium walls and wreak havoc in Mechanic City.
It might as well be a 950m missile.
Modern submarines gain driving force from propellers, but the Albatrus is different. Energy cores bring driving force while discharging air to the base. When it goes into the ocean, this is used as water power. That’s why they need to maintain this state until they go to the ocean.
[Currently boarding. Enjoy your time exploring the ocean.]
Strategist’s gentle voice can be heard.
Lifers utilize their PDAs at the same time. They’ll start their first entry with a level B mission.
There aren’t level A missions in the ocean. That’s why there are 1000 people as well. There’s a limit beyond that because it’s a level B.
Vroom!
The space near the Albatrus becomes completely distorted. This is what happens when the 1000 summons gates for each person becomes integrated.
The Lifers watching this strange scene from outside, could only blink. Someone even tried filming it.
Then the moment the distorted space swallowed the Albatrus, the huge ship disappeared from Mechanic City’s stadium.
***
When the Lifers and Cha Jun Sung became aware that they had entered the mission, the Albatrus was already floating somewhere in the broad Pacifiic Ocean.
[Front mirror image change. Welcome to the underwater world.]
Once Uranos’ command was entered, the front became a screen.
Hundreds of cameras attached to the Albatrus give them the impression of looking at the ocean through a glass wall.
It feels like they are walking on water.
Cha Jun Sung looks down.
Rather than the hard ground, there is the deep sea that looks like it’ll swallow him up. The ocean does not fit inside a narrow screen. The entire headquarters becomes a screen so the Lifers can check the ocean with their own eyes,
It does not apply to the Lifers in waiting rooms, but there are similar screens in the 8 places with sub-systems.
‘How interesting.’
Cha Jun Sung looks on in wonder.
He has been on such a huge ship very few times in the virtual version. He’s almost never been on such a ship.
He has been on an armored tank as large as a 4 or 5 floor building and a ship bigger than an apartment building, but this is the first time he’s been in such a large submarine. Albatrus is a submarine, but they can take the top off to make it look like a ferry.
It is versatile and has all the functions possible for the ocean.
At the bottom of the Albatrus, the propulsion engine uses the energy core’s power to go in reverse and float 1.2 million tons of weight. It is just floating, and does not advance. Everyone is awed by the mirror image of the sea. They don’t care because they have plenty of time.
[Water barrier deployed. Energy core output 20%, simulation result shows it can easily block the destructive power of tons.]
Woong!
Something like a transparent veil covers the Albatrus.
This is also technology that utilizes water power, and it is a defense against the enemy’s attack.
The basis of battle is hitting without getting hit, whether it is a war in the air, on the ground, or in the water. If they need to get hit, they can hit while getting hit. No matter how well Uranos controls Albatrus, it is not possible to protect this kind of large body against the enemy 100%.
[Sound wave, Raider confirmed. Energy core output 10%, exploring life and geographic features within a 50km radius.] [Porthole opened. The arrangement of 100 hydraulic guns, 10 water pressure guns, 3 water artilleries, and 300 combat-type small submersibles completed.]
Uranos got an understanding of the Albatrus step by step.
They tried several times before going out, but practice and combat experience are different even for artificial intelligence. Even thousands of energy cores need each system’s output to be distributed properly. It is important that it does not get concentrated in any one place.
If they only focus on the barrier, other things can’t help but be neglected.
Energy isn’t infinite.
They cannot forget that.
Ready to go. Set up a seaway to perform the mission.]
“Open map.”
Uranos reacted to Strategist’s signal.
On a cubic hologram, a map showing Pacific Ocean opens up and is marked with a red dot.
The red dot is Albatrus. They entered into the mission and they are completely done preparing to go through the mission. All that’s left is setting up the seaway.
“General.”
“203. 936. 582. 162. Those are the coordinates for where I found the Deep-Sea Teeth.”
Beep beep!
Strategist enters the coordinates that Sea General tells him.
Then on top of the map, another red dot appears. It is where the Deep-Sea Teeth lives.
Right now, Cha Jun Sung’s location is towards the end of the middle where Asia and North America connect. Red dots are more than 8000km apart.
“Wow! It’s far. We need to hunt as we go, so it’ll take at least a couple months.”
Park Jin Hyuk looked at the number marking the street and clucked his tongue.
Since it is the ocean, it will not take a long time if they penetrate in a straight line.
However, Strategist’s goal is not limited to completing a level A mission.
Albatrus’ performance test – that’s the real thing.
[A large number of mutants emerged 3km away. Enlarging in the view.]
Everyone looks at the screen.
A group of mutants that are long water cocoons resembling cutlass fish a dozens times as large, come swarming in. They are not trying to attack because they recognize the Albatrus as the enemy. They are just extremely unlucky fish passing in front.
“They’re level 3 Spiky Cutlass. There are so few of them. Have they been attacked by a predator?”
“They look just like their name.”
“Hurry up and try catching it.”
Nuclear urges Strategist on.
He wanted to see Albatrus’ performance as well. Everyone else looked on in interest as well.
“Let’s try earning some points. Uranos.”
[Water pressure guns loaded. I’ll send them in one clean hit.]
Woong!
The porthole for one of the 3 hydraulic guns on the Albatrus’ head opened and sucked in an unmeasurable amount of seawater.
[Launch!]
Ping!
An extremely compressed 5m diameter water lump fired from a huge porthole, and reached the center before the Spiky Cutlass scattered. Dozens of them were swept away by the water lump and are crushed under the pressure gathered inside. That is nothing more than a simple show.
Bang!
A hydraulic gun fired.
A 50m radius area of sweater pushes out and captures the Spiky Cutlass. They have been taken care of with one hit just as Uranos said would happen.
“It’s no joke.”
“Is that the power of a giant weapon?”
Cha Jun Sung was just as surprised as the other Rankers.
It looked like there had been about 400 to 500 them, so it is impressive. It’s easy for any one of the Rankers to kill a level 3 of their own size. It’s just that the problem with killing is an efficiency problem.
A one hit is too much no matter what, but it takes a long time. If hit with the hydraulic gun, even a giant mutant can’t avoid being wounded.
“Odin. My battlesuit would be able to take it, right?”
[Maybe not with water artillery, but a level A battlesuit is plenty capable of handling rapid fire shot from a hydraulic gun.]
Odin’s simple and clear response. This means that he can withstand it.
“But why can’t this impressive level S battlesuit withstand the Heavy Gravity?”
[Heavy Gravity is Life Mission’s most powerful method of offense and defense, so it is more valuable than the Albatrus.]
Cha Jun Sung’s battlesuit is nautical adamantium.
This broke into pieces like plastic. He has no doubt because he already experienced it with his own body.
“About 800,000 points came in, but it doesn’t feel like anything because we have to split it up between 1000 people.”
“I’ll say.”
When they caught the Spiky Cutlass, nearly 1 million points came in. It doesn’t feel like they’re getting anything because the points are getting divided between all of the Lifers.
‘Is it 1700 points?’
Cha Jun Sung checks the points they tracked.
0.2% distribution ratio.
Except for the few supplying Albatrus’ maintenance points, it is unrivaled.
Ordinary level B Lifers are 0.05%, and there are 3 party and force leaders who are 1%.
Some are a lot and some are a little. There can be dissatisfaction, but they just moved past it because this is just how the world works.
Uranos who massacred Spiky Cutlass, turns on the propeller.
Albatrus advances with hydraulic power. The speed wasn’t that fast.
All systems including weapons activate normally.
Since they haven’t come to look at the sea, there was no reason for them to stay in one place.
