The next day, the protagonist failed to see the active little white fish yesterday.
As soon as he climbed out of the cabin that day, the protagonist noticed that the sky was dim and the drizzle was falling, and the river was full of ripples caused by the raindrops.
From time to time, a raindrop larger than an ant's body drips from the edge of the rain cover above the entrance to the cabin. Then the water drops flow along the round shell of the walnut boat into the river and disappear.
The sky was covered with overcast clouds, which looked deceptive, but the rain was actually not heavy, just the kind of continuous drizzle and breeze that comes during the plum rainy season.
This year's rainy season has finally arrived. The protagonist looked up and lamented that it seemed to come later than in previous years.
This kind of continuous drizzle is not as threatening to the fleet as a storm. In the strong wind and rain, it is like a small boat in a tsunami that seems to capsize at any time. But in such weather, the ants cannot go out, and naturally cannot control the ship. They can only hide in the cabin and drift with the tide, which is also uncomfortable.
Except for the protagonist, as usual in such weather, no other ants came out, and they all hid in the cabin.
The protagonist is hiding under the rain cover, half of his body is in the cabin, and half of his body is leaning out. He holds the door of the cabin with a pair of forelimbs, watching the rain quietly.
I don't know since when, the rain has gradually increased. If you just look at the sky and the water, you don't seem to notice this slow change.
But if you cast your eyes on the water, you can be keenly aware that this time is different from before.
Originally, it was just fine and continuous raindrops hitting the water, causing countless ripples.
Now, I don’t know when it started, the raindrops not only rippled, but also shaped countless small bubbles on the gentle water surface, floating on the water surface, and then burst out I don’t know when, as if they were shaped by the rainwater that shaped them. Broken.
Scenes like this were played out all over the river. The protagonist watched it for a while, but he was enjoying it and did not feel drowsy at all because of the repetition of monotonous scenes.
At this time, he has been immersed in the fantasy world.
In his imagination, the raindrops falling from the sky were like the rain of bullets dropped by airplanes, and the water bubbles were like fleets on the sea. The battle between sea and air was going on extremely fiercely. The fleets were constantly destroyed in the air strikes, and they were constantly destroyed. New ships added.
Although this association is meaningless, it seems that it should not be the thought that the protagonist should have with his current identity and status. But this is how he fantasizes. It seems that a long time ago, he was looking at the rain like this, such a boring fantasy.
Look, that tall and majestic battleship has a towering bridge and four huge triple main guns at the front and rear. It seems that it can destroy the world with just one salvo!
But what's the use? The bombs dropped by countless bombers were airtight, and balls of fire continued to explode on the huge body of the battleship. Debris and parts scattered everywhere. The battleship was like a wounded beast struggling with humiliation, anger, unwillingness, and helplessness. Until the most ferocious and fatal blow came, the battleship erupted from the ammunition depot with the most brilliant fireworks, shattered into pieces, and disappeared. A huge ship was destroyed in such humiliation.
Romantic fantasies will eventually return to reality.
The protagonist thought at some point that if he had a force that could carry out blanket bombing on the ground, would he be able to contain the army of destroyers? Just like the constant rain destroying blisters!
Maybe it really works! baby
Even though the Destroyers are invincible on the ground, they have no ability to fight in the air.
During the battle to defend their homeland, from beginning to end, the flying knights in the air were able to carry out their missions freely without being interfered with. They also successfully executed the "River Opening Plan" to contain the Destroyer's first wave of southern invasion.
It's just that the current air force can only perform some reconnaissance missions or simple special missions, and does not have the ability to strike from the air to the ground.
If a bomber force can be built, it can conduct asymmetric warfare and continuously weaken the Destroyer before the decisive battle on the ground. Even when the firepower is sufficient, the enemy can be defeated by aerial firepower alone.
The protagonist couldn't help but be inspired by his sudden idea.
This world is different from our original world. If human civilization has not evolved to a certain level, it will not be able to build aircraft, and aerial bombing will naturally be out of the question.
But in the ant world, there are too many insects that can be used as aerial vehicles, such as the flies and bees that the flying knights now ride.
However, the load capacity of these two flying insects is a bit ridiculous. Flies fly quickly, but as soon as the load is too large, the flight speed, dexterity and airborne time all drop sharply.
The load-carrying capacity of bees is much stronger than that of flies, and they often collect pollen and carry loads back to their nests. However, its size also determines its limited potential as an ammunition carrier.
The protagonist estimates the gap in bomb-carrying capabilities between flies, bees and his ideal bomber. Compared with his ideal bomber, the Bee is at best an attack aircraft, while the Fly is a training aircraft that can part-time perform symbolic bomb drops.
Not all insects have strong load-bearing capabilities. For example, beetles are famous for their strength. But the beetles in this world don't know whether it's because they are more competitive on the ground. Their wings have degenerated, and their backs have grown into one piece like a tortoise shell.
In the protagonist's impression, the only remaining flying insects with strong weight-bearing capabilities are dragonflies, praying mantises, wasps, large butterflies and moths, but none of them have been domesticated.
The protagonist decided to conduct domestication experiments on these target insects as soon as possible after settling down.
In addition to flying vehicles, aerial bombing also requires bombs.
Previously, the flying knights were equipped with self-igniting fire bomb slings as weapons, but they did not have explosive capabilities.
The only explosives currently in the hands of the Divine Envoy King's Legion are the mysterious balls. To be precise, the liquid in the mysterious balls can spontaneously ignite and explode.
However, the method of detonating the mysterious ball is a problem. Without the protagonist's strange power, it is impossible to detonate the complete mysterious ball.
Fortunately, the Divine Envoy King Legion has developed a method to extract liquid from the mysterious ball and preserve the mysterious liquid in grease to prevent spontaneous combustion and explosion. Next, the protagonist can let the scientific research team continue to study how to make this mysterious liquid into a more lethal and reliable bomb.
However, the mysterious ball can only be seized from the corpse of the destroyer. Now that the God Envoy King Corps has actively broken away from contact with the destroyer, it has temporarily lost the source of the mysterious ball, and the inventory is used less.
Once the bomb is successfully developed and mass-produced, the current inventory of mysterious balls will simply not be able to withstand consumption.
There is also good news. The scientific research team has previously discovered a connection between the extract of the fluorescent army commonly seen in the Angel King's army and the mysterious liquid. The research results have been handed over to the protagonist and stored in his mind.
