From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 59 Ernieo
  Earth.

As a unique planet in the solar system, the Earth relies on its strong magnetic field and thick atmosphere to withstand all kinds of radiation, thus nurturing a rich ecological environment and the intelligent species of human beings.

Against the sunlight, you can clearly see the oceans, forests, and land on the surface. And because colors with shorter wavelengths are easier to scatter in all directions, the atmosphere is bluer.

Otherwise, most astronauts will have the "Overview Effect". When observing a familiar home from a perspective that most people cannot experience, they will lament its splendor and fragility, as well as the insignificance and powerlessness of human beings.

Looking at the backside in the early morning and late at night, the details of the surface are blurred, but the lights representing cities, towns and signs of human activities are like bright star points.

Zoom in.

From a low-Earth orbit about 200 kilometers above the surface, one can even vaguely distinguish which lights are emitted by which city.

At this time, a...or rather a huge thing that could not be detected with the naked eye was sailing on this track 200 kilometers above the ground.

And this behemoth is one of Atlas's aerial vehicles, Enyo.

Only when the pilot actively removes the effect of optical camouflage can the outline and its appearance be clearly seen.

The appearance is very similar to the Valkyrie aerospace transport aircraft, but the fuselage is 170 meters long and the wingspan is about 120 meters.

Atlas used 3D printing technology to completely "refurbish" and modify an original Valkyrie. Although it is still not up to the human military ranks in the Zero-Two Universe (Avatar), it is comparable to the main universe and Zero-II. In terms of all kinds of vehicles in the universe (Edge of Tomorrow), it is an absolute crushing level.

It is equipped with four nuclear fusion engines and six rotary turbine engines for atmospheric use. It can take off and land vertically. It has an optical camouflage module and stealth coating installed on the outside of the fuselage. It can carry 70 fully armed soldiers and 10 mechas at the same time. , 10 airdrop positions.

Looking at the data alone, it seems that the load capacity is not much larger than that of the Valkyrie, but the main purpose of the Enio is not for transportation, but as a platform for airdropping elite troops and launching strategic and tactical missiles.

Atlas's original intention of transforming the Valkyrie was to be able to deliver reconstructed warriors, biological weapons (BOW) or elite soldiers to any location around the world anytime, anywhere to carry out capture or beheading operations, as well as to have nuclear strike and nuclear counterattack capabilities.

When the Soviet Union in the main universe collapsed, Atlas absorbed a large number of former Soviet scientists, including cutting-edge people in the fields of physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and other fields.

Cooperating with Atlas, he is one of the shareholders of Northwest Energy Company, jointly operates a commercial nuclear power plant, and has extensive experience in the nuclear field.

It stands to reason that Atlas is fully capable of refining and enriching uranium-235 from uranium ores, but astronomical power consumption and many limitations such as test sites leave Atlas no room for "nuclear" development. Take action.

However, when the second space gate to Pandora's planet opened, and with more mature and advanced nuclear technology, Atlas directly completed a leapfrog breakthrough.

Therefore, the current Eneo is also equipped with ten tactical nuclear bombs with a TNT equivalent of about 50 tons, in case of emergency.

now.

Keep the optical camouflage turned on and stay in the hidden cockpit of the Enio;

"Everything is normal at the moment."

"Please maintain sailing speed."

"It is expected to arrive at the designated location in fourteen minutes."

The three pilots are focusing on controlling and stabilizing the fuselage to ensure that everything is normal on the Eneo and that they and their passengers are safe. "."

Sanguinius, who was standing behind the cockpit, wearing a special combat uniform with his wings folded behind him, was looking at the human home planet through the porthole.

The overview effect also applies to the extraordinary Primarch, who was shocked by the sight of the earth, but now Sanguinius is more admiring, and his emotions such as surprise and emotion have long since subsided.

After hearing that the Enio was about to arrive at the designated location, he withdrew his eyes from the porthole, turned around, grabbed nearby objects with his hands, and left the cockpit by "wandering".

Go through the automatic sensor door.

After passing through an area similar to an airborne command center with busy observers, communicators, engineers and other crew members, Sanguinius arrived at the living area.

It provides sleeping cabins for rest, a medical room, and storage rooms for food, drinking water, and living supplies. The layout is regular and looks much more spacious than a submarine.

As for the most important facilities in the living area, they are toilets that can facilitate people's excretion in low-gravity or no-gravity environments, as well as corresponding filtering and treatment equipment.

Keep drifting.

Sanguinius passed by cabins such as the small combat conference room and the power distribution and pressure distribution cabin. Finally, after passing through two gates and a decompression chamber, he came to the suddenly open belly of the aircraft, which also housed the equipment room, Cabins in classified areas such as missile silos and airdrop docks.

At this point, Sanguinius no longer moved forward with his hands, because there were automatic handrails on both sides of the passage, which took him directly into a maintenance cabin.

Many people gathered here, including two drivers wearing ARS training uniforms and technicians who were inspecting them.

Sanguinius looked at the scene in front of him and asked the technical director on the side: "How is it going?"

"Heart rate...normal, blood pressure...normal..." The technical director first looked at the various data on the holographic screen, and then looked at Sanguinius, who was already considered a "little" giant, and reported:
  "The driver is ready and can then establish neural links with the 001 and 002 prototypes."

"Then let's get started, we still have twelve minutes."

"Yes."

After receiving the instructions, the two pilots lay down in the semi-closed link cabin that looked like an MRI, while the technicians started debugging.

The perspective was dark and blurry at first, and after a while, it gradually became clear.

"Corporal Michel, can you hear me?" A question came from beside him.

Through this perspective, it can be discovered that the corporal named Michelle has already linked his consciousness to the tyrant.

Moreover, the vision provided by the tyrant actually had a real-life interaction (AR) function, which displayed the radar and various data. At the same time, he also saw a ground crew member wearing a pressure suit, standing on the left side making inquiries.

Immediately afterwards, Michelle was as skillful as controlling her own body, controlling the tyrant to raise his right hand, make a fist and extend his thumb, indicating to the opponent that the "power on" was good.

Seeing this, the ground crew continued: "There are only seven minutes and fifty seconds left before the start of the operation, so corporal, please prepare for the airdrop as soon as possible, and don't forget to launch the airdrop capsule immediately after reaching the predetermined height if you don't want to be blown to pieces. of bait machines.”
