Chapter 36: First Battle - Showdown with the Relic Dragon Beast, Sky Patrol.
Next, it's time to get to work.
Chen Bo cut the expensive floating stones into small, even pieces.
Cut into small pieces and embed them in different positions on the floating cannon. This way, by adjusting the position of the stones, the initial state of the floating cannon can be kept balanced and its posture correct.
In this way, the power module only needs to be repositioned.
After adjusting the position, the algorithm also needs to be readjusted.
The power unit of the floating cannon consists of more than a dozen nozzles working together. Now that buoyancy has been added, the vector of each nozzle needs to be adjusted when moving.
Fortunately, all that's needed is to subtract one unit of gravity, and the adjustment was completed quickly.
Now, even with all power turned off, the floating cannons will remain suspended and motionless.
Looking at the four floating cannons surrounding him, Chen Bo felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Nasita, my breastplate and palm cannons are all set up and ready for real flight. Would you like to come fly with me for a bit?" Chen Bo suggested.
Chen Bo recalled that Iron Man's Mark series armor first flew at night, taking the opportunity to see the night view of Sumeru from high above.
Nasita's eyes lit up. Although she could fly in her dreams, this was the first time in reality: "Where to?"
"Let's take off first. This flight has no destination; it's just going for a short trip."
Chen Bo put on a simple inner garment and struck a pose similar to that of Xingtian Armor.
"Armor Combination!"
He added a scene for himself; of course, summoning the armor and the pose had nothing to do with it, he just needed to remotely control it from the void.
As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanical components on the shelf emitted a slight humming sound.
Two palm-sized cannons were activated first, flying to Chen Bo's hands from the left and right, opening their mouths and precisely slipping into Chen Bo's arms, then locking them in place.
Then come the front and back breastplates and the backplate.
Once the breastplate and carapace are attached, their mechanical structures automatically extend and lock together.
Finally, the helmet descended from the sky, the visor snapped shut, and a pale green UI interface instantly lit up within the field of vision.
Chen Bo implanted a void inside the helmet.
"All indicators are normal, power system self-check complete." Nasita's image appeared directly on Chen Bo's screen.
"Then let's take off!" Chen Bo said, and then took off.
At this moment, Nasita also activated the "Moon One" flight mode.
The alchemical skin beneath her feet cracked open, revealing miniature thrusters, and her back deformed and stretched, revealing two pairs of nozzles.
As the flames roared in the combustion chamber.
Both of them were propelled into the air by the recoil of the flames.
This was Chen Bo's first time flying in reality. The good news was that his body had been enhanced, so he didn't have to worry about falling to his death.
However, Chen Bo decided to play it safe for now.
However, the output gradually increased, and the speed and acceleration became faster and faster.
The allure of speed is irresistible.
Naxida followed closely behind.
The two transformed into two streaks of light, passing through the night sky of Sumeru City.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the feeling of freedom from gravity made Chen Bo's blood boil.
From the air, Sumeru City looks like a giant, glowing mushroom, while the rainforest in the distance is a bottomless green ocean.
As the speed approached the speed of sound, Narcida popped up a warning: "Stop accelerating. Your armor is not complete. The current speed is already close to your limit."
The sound barrier, which occurs after reaching the speed of sound, poses a significant challenge to the airframe structure.
Chen Bo felt a dull ache in his body as the wind blew against him.
But speed is passion.
Chen Bo is now high in the air, and all he wants to do is scream.
No wonder some people love skydiving so much, jumping hundreds of times a year.
Soaring through the air at high altitudes is incredibly exhilarating.
Soon, the two of them left the skies above Sumeru City.
Chen Bo reduced his altitude and speed, and rushed directly into the rainforest.
In the rainforest, Chen Bo quickly reduced his speed to one-tenth of the speed of sound.
The trees here are so dense, it would be bad to bump into one.
Naxi Da followed closely behind.
The two weaved through the woods, avoiding the tall trees and vines, playing an obstacle course game.
On the way, Chen Bo also saw a plump mushroom pig slowly rooting around in the grass, growing mushrooms.
This pig has a very distinctive appearance, with two bright mushrooms on its back and its meat looks very firm.
Mushroom pig is a good thing; it's like having meat served with a side dish.
Chen Bo rubbed his stomach. If he hadn't eaten his fill at the night market tonight, he would definitely have eaten roast pork.
The poor pig had no idea it had just narrowly escaped death.
Having acquired the powerful armor, Chen Bo was actually eager to engage in battle.
However, the mushroom-boar is really no match for it. Its meat is delicious; fighting it would be like bullying a pig.
He was killed in one move.
With the power of his palm cannon, one shot would cook half of it.
"Nasita, help me search for the Relic Dragon Beast. I want to test the armor's performance," Chen Bo said in the communication channel.
Nasita was somewhat worried: "Your armor is not complete, and the defensive coverage area is too small. I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand high-intensity combat."
"Isn't this what you're here for? We're two against one, it's a good opportunity to test the interception function of the floating cannons. Although we've simulated it many times in the dream, we still need to test its actual performance in real combat." Chen Bo continued, "Besides, it's a good time to test the interception function of the floating cannons. Although we've simulated it many times in the dream, we still need to test its actual performance in real combat."
As Chen Bo and Naxida traversed the rainforest, the four floating cannons maintained a stable hovering formation, following behind Chen Bo.
Nasida was persuaded by Chen Bo and began to use the void to search for the lost dragon beast.
Narcida has a high level of authority in the Void; the Void is her eyes and ears.
Nasita can investigate any trace of the Relic Dragon Beast that anyone has seen.
Soon, five marked locations appeared on Chen Bo's screen.
All five locations have seen remnant dragons, and each location indicates the time elapsed since the last observation.
Chen Bo sincerely exclaimed that Nasida was no weaker than Jarvis.
With Naxida's help, Chen Bo quickly found his target.
It was a Relic Dragon Beast - Sky Patrol. However, at this moment it was lying on an open space in the distance, its mechanical wings folded on both sides, and the core on its chest was faintly flashing a dim red light, perhaps accumulating energy.
"Nasita, how about assisting me?" Chen Bo said in a low voice.
Nasita nodded, her figure floating lightly beside Chen Bo: "If you encounter a crisis you can't handle, I will help you intercept it. If necessary, I will use Moon One to block your way."
"Thanks, Nasita, love you." Chen Bo made a heart shape with his hands, then adjusted his posture.
The thrusters on his carapace emitted tiny tongues of fire, keeping him hovering steadily in mid-air.
Chen Bo raised his hand and aimed it at the Relic Dragon Beast.
The combustion chamber in his palm began to hum, and the grass elemental power began to accumulate.
"Maximum power, fire!"
A blinding energy cannon shot out, striking the Sky-Patrol Dragon Beast's torso with pinpoint accuracy.
The flames exploded, and the huge shockwave overturned the surrounding bushes and set the grass ablaze.
The flames burned fiercely.
However, when the smoke cleared, the dragon's shell was only slightly damaged.
The Relic Dragon Beast has ridiculously high physical and elemental resistances. When attacking non-core parts, it takes multiple hits to break its defenses.
The Relic Dragon Beast was instantly activated upon being attacked, its various body nodes glowing faintly, and its enormous wings suddenly unfurled, propelling it into the air.
The Relic Dragon Beast's movements were much more agile than in the game, and its flight speed was more than twice as fast. After approaching Chen Bo, the Relic Dragon Beast Sky Patrol spread its wings, and the machine guns mounted under its wings spat out tongues of fire without reservation.
Da da da da!
A barrage of comments rained down on Chen Bo.
The close-range floating cannons automatically intercepted the incoming attacks, firing a dense barrage of elemental bullets. The bullets struck precisely in mid-air, exploding into a series of tiny sparks.
