The huge hull suspended in mid-air is 3.23 kilometers long from front to back, 1.71 kilometers wide from side to side, and 897 meters high from top to bottom. With such a huge hull, the original body of Snake King Odesa is far inferior to it except for its length. Converted into volume, the current Odessa is several times the size of the original Snake King.
The appearance of the hull is very similar to the SDF-1_Macross in the classic animation that a certain time traveler remembers, with sharp edges and corners and four forks in the front. The main guns are the two longest prongs at the front of the ship. Judging from the design, they should be the magnetic field generating devices of the plasma cannon. The length alone accounts for one-third of the captain, so you can imagine its power.
There is a semi-covered flight deck on each side of the left and right sides, connected to the main hull through side passages. The outside of the hull is not a smooth armored surface, but is filled with turrets and machine gun mounts. There are at least five rows of turrets or gun mounts on any side of the ship; there are also secondary guns on the belly and top of the ship, with larger caliber and more numbers. Odessa almost armed itself like a hedgehog.
Behind the hull are two huge ion thrusters, square and side by side. There are also many rear-facing turrets, and as if to make up for the lack of main guns in the rear, the rear-facing turrets are more ferocious than the side and front-facing ones, both in terms of number and caliber.
To be honest, the structural design chosen by Odessa is quite unconventional. Although the universe is close to a vacuum, there is still very thin matter. If you want to fly at extremely high speeds in space, you still need to pay attention to fluid mechanics. But Odessa's hull has many imperfections and strange connection structures.
But... this ship body that looks like the SDF-1 can also transform into a super giant robot.
Ignore the structures that appear to be joints and the numerous turret gun mounts that make people hair-raising. The hull built by Odessa is not a 'battleship' in the strict sense, but a colonial ship used for long-distance migration, but it is only equipped with full force...
This is in line with the connotation behind the appearance of SDF-1_Macross. In the original animation, the early model Macross also had residential living areas inside. Of course, we have to ignore the problem of how a spacecraft can create a gravity environment similar to that of the earth...
Furthermore, it is not surprising that Odessa would choose such a structural design. Because of his original form, there are very few elemental creature settlements in the earth elemental plane that do not occupy resource areas, and it is also the only 'settlement' that can move. Although he now has a mechanical body, he is still accustomed to having a living area to protect his companions who have taken refuge in him.
And those elemental creatures that were invested in the construction of the ship's hull in Odessa seem to be alive now. Maybe their bodies have become part of the new ship, but the turrets that are aiming randomly and the gun mounts that are constantly rotating, someone has the intuition that these are all transformed by the group of sacrificed elemental creatures.
In other words, those little guys were inexplicably transformed by Fire along with Odessa and became members of the robot tribe. It's just that their shape is different from ordinary robots, and they are also fixed on the ship by Odessa. I don't know if they have other forms of bodies, or if they just serve as a turret or machine gun mount for the rest of their lives.
Take the fire that has been transformed and lost its power back into your hands. Lin flashed back to Fen's side. And what surrounded the Lich was a scene that didn't know whether to say it was ridiculous or admirable.
None of the robots were intact, at least one arm was missing. The most common thing is to remove one's arms, two legs, head, and half of the body, and throw them into the furnace of Odessa's achievements. Of course, some of the weapons and equipment embedded in the plug-in are not left at all. All become part of that giant ship.
It can be said that apart from throwing away his own nuclear reactor, everything else that could be thrown was thrown by the robots. Everything is just to achieve that giant ship in the sky.
But after the construction of the Snake King's new body was completed, the robots reacted as if they were wondering why they did this? None of them are intact. Although it is said that as long as materials are replenished, and with the help of mechanics or fire, it can be restored to its original appearance in minutes. However, for a group that yearns for evolution and growth, this level of sacrifice should be an incredible choice.
Not to mention that they themselves doubted themselves, as a bystander...the initiator was also curious about their thoughts.
Before she could retract her curious eyes, or before Fen could say anything to someone, suddenly a joyful mood filled everyone's chests. It's like the spirit of heavy metal rock before, even though it can't convey the sound, still infects everyone.
Dazed, thinking, consciously or unconsciously, everyone present raised their heads and looked up at the source of the excitement, the giant ship in the sky. And Odessa and the parasites on him seemed to be celebrating a new life, rejoicing with joy.
Perhaps the huge hull made it inconvenient to express happiness, because during the Snake King's time, he rarely used body movements to express his feelings. But the little guys who had become one with the Snake King were originally just excitedly swinging the new turret body, or swinging the machine gun mount left and right. At this moment of cheering in unison, they all aimed their cannons and guns towards the sky without shaking or swaying.
The words "should it" came to someone's mind, and they saw the main gun that was big enough to kill people directly, and the gun was wrapped with electric light. The strong magnetic field changes, causing the surrounding metal materials to beat restlessly. The robots stared at the sky in surprise, where the giant ship was.
It didn't take long to accumulate energy, but everyone waiting with bated breath seemed to have spent a lifetime. The moment of liberation was the moment when the main gun fired.
The plasma flow formed under the constraints of the magnetic field is also propelled by the magnetic field and shoots outward!
It's not that the robots have never used plasma cannons, and even those equipped with them have actually fired them. But there has never been a plasma cannon like pushing a small sun. Even if you just look directly at it, it seems to burn your eyes.
A flash of plasma cannon streaked across the sky. At the same time, the gun ports and machine guns of the new Odessa hull were fully opened, and a grand salvo fired into the sky!
Lin knew that such an action was to test the reliability of the weapon system and verify whether the consumption situation was as designed. Every robot will try something like this once after it is born, but it has never been such a big scene. Odessa and his companions seemed more like they wanted to prove something with this salvo.
Prove that they were indeed born in this world?
Or do they want to prove that they have achieved unprecedented power and unprecedented power?
Or do you want to prove to other robots that the arms here are thick and the fists are big, making them the best backers?
No matter what kind of little thoughts Odessa had, the robots were all stunned when they saw the behemoth in the sky launching a volley of fire.
At the beginning there was Cologne, the leader-level robot who was the most superstitious about firepower among all the robots, the guy with a Gatling gun in his finger. Then one, two, three, four, until all the robots cheered. A few words circulated in the robots' mental waves:
Caliber is justice!
Axiom within range!
Firepower is king!
Ula!
Then someone falls into deep self-doubt. The Lich standing aside ruthlessly uncovered the scars and asked, "Have you ever thought that all this would turn into such an unpleasant situation?"
