Chapter 702 TPC Base, Flight Mode
Kulakov NF-3000.
"The artificial sun-induced control conversion is complete." After typing on the keyboard, Mai Midorikawa looked up at Koda and Ryo Yumimura standing in front of the screen and smiled.
"As expected of Mai, you finished twelve hours ahead of schedule," Koda praised.
"Ok!"
"The rest can be left to the Mars base. Mai, thank you for your hard work." Ryo Yumimura walked up to Mai Midorikawa and praised her with a smile.
At that moment, a streak of light broke through Earth's atmosphere and landed directly in Antarctica.
……
Earth, Tokyo.
"The TPC-driven artificial sun project, NSP Campanella, is less than two weeks away from launching its first test unit. If this experiment on Jupiter is successful, it will usher in a new dawn for the era of space exploration." The news broadcast on television reported on the artificial sun project.
"Next up is a report on Ice Castle, the Antarctic seabed base built to mitigate rising water temperatures caused by the global greenhouse effect..."
……
Command Room.
"Captain, the Kulakov's return plan has been changed, is that true?"
"In case of an emergency, immediately deploy the Victory Eagle! Head to Antarctica to meet up with Captain Koda and the others," Kibi said.
"Going to Antarctica?"
"Ah."
"I am Ejiri from the Ocean Development Bureau," a middle-aged man wearing glasses said with a slight bow.
“Right now, the temperature on the Antarctic seabed is rising rapidly, and the glaciers are beginning to melt on a large scale,” Jiangjiri said.
“But aren’t there facilities there to prevent the water temperature from rising?” Nakajima asked.
"The report says there's nothing wrong with the cooling system," Hibi said, puzzled.
"If the glaciers continue to melt like this, the world will be submerged in the ocean. We must find out the cause as soon as possible. Hopefully, Super Victory Team can lend us a hand," said Ejiri.
"This mission is of great importance. I will activate TPC's air fortress and travel with you to Antarctica," Shen Yun said as he entered the command room.
"An aerial fortress? Director, do we at TPC even have something like that?" Asuka asked in surprise.
“Of course, the command center beneath your feet is the cockpit of the TPC air fortress,” Shen Yun said.
"real or fake?"
"Such a thing is true?"
"How could we not know?"
The members of Super Victory Team were also taken aback upon hearing this, as they had no idea such a thing existed.
“This is top secret information from TPC, and you are not currently qualified to know it. However, the situation is urgent right now, so we can't worry about that,” Hibi said with a light cough.
Shen Yun didn't say much, but directly brought up the scene of the TPC base transforming into an aerial fortress and displayed it in front of everyone in the form of a virtual projection.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Asuka exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Alright, stop standing there like idiots, let's get ready for takeoff," Shen Yun said with a smile.
"understand!"
The members of Super Victory Team immediately followed Shen Yun's instructions and checked the wiring and functions in the command room for any abnormalities.
"Director, the power supply to the line is normal, there are no abnormalities."
"No abnormalities found in the deformable module."
"Energy supply is stable."
"Activate flight mode immediately," Shen Yun instructed.
"Yes!"
Super Victory Team immediately returned to their positions and began inputting commands.
Meanwhile, evacuation alerts were continuously broadcast over the TPC base.
"Flight mode has been activated. Personnel in the connection area are requested to evacuate to a safe area immediately."
"Repeated, flight mode has been activated. Personnel in the connection area, please evacuate to a safe area immediately."
Upon hearing the broadcast reminder, TPC staff located in the area connecting the air fortress and the land base immediately put down their work and voluntarily evacuated the area.
The next moment, the sealed dome of the command room was slowly opened, revealing glass made of polymer materials.
The tail of the dome base slowly unfolded to both sides, fitting snugly against the sides of the base and revealing the exhaust nozzles at the tail.
Meanwhile, the components attached to both sides of the base slowly extended their wings, and colorful flames shot out from the nozzles at the rear of the dome-shaped base, propelling the base into the air and flying towards Antarctica.
Soon, the TPC dome base, transformed into a space fortress, flew over Antarctica.
"Ryo, you and Kariya will pilot the Cornel 07 to investigate the location of the anomalous heat source," Hibi gave the order through the screen.
"understand!"
"Mai, contact Ice City immediately and ask if anything unusual has happened," Hibi added.
After saying that, Hibi didn't hear a response, so he called out again.
"Mai?"
"Yes!" Mai Midorikawa snapped out of her daze, quickly stood up, and replied.
"What's wrong? Why are you so distracted?" Ryo Yumimura, who was holding a helmet and preparing to leave, walked up to Mai and asked when she saw that Mai seemed a little absent-minded.
"This frontline mission was very sudden, and I'm very nervous..." Midorikawa Mai said nervously.
She had only come to test the equipment, but unexpectedly she was suddenly assigned to a frontline mission.
This was her first time carrying out a frontline mission.
"Just do it the same as usual," Yumimura Ryo comforted her.
"Ah."
After comforting Mai Midorikawa, Ryo Yumimura picked up his helmet, left the Kulakov base, boarded the Connelly 07, and followed Kariya to investigate the location of the anomalous heat source.
Soon, Ryo Yumimura and Kariya piloted the Cornell 07 to the airspace above the abnormal heat source.
"This is Cornell 017, now transmitting new X-ray images." Ryo Yumimura reported while transmitting the images to the large screen of the air fortress.
On the screen, a trench appeared, with a clear heat source inside.
"What is this? It looks like the trace of a huge heat source moving." Jiangjiri said, looking at the image on the screen.
"Nakajima, Asuka, prepare to take off in the Victory Deepsea Machine," Kibi ordered.
"understand!"
"Mai, have you not made contact with Hyojo yet?" Hibi asked.
"Not yet," Mai Midorikawa shook her head and replied.
"It seems something has happened in Bingcheng," Shen Yun said, frowning.
"Immediately contact Connelly 07, who is in charge of the security, and have them check the safety of Ice City immediately," Shen Yun said.
"understand!"
Before he could finish speaking, communication between the air fortress and the Kulakov base was suddenly cut off.
"What's wrong?" Hibi quickly looked at the technician in charge of liaison.
"There's been an anomaly in the Kulakov's communication lines," the technician quickly replied.
"Something's wrong?" Hibi quickly walked to the window of the aerial fortress and looked down.
The Kulakov base appears to be entangled in something and being dragged toward the seabed.
"Did they discover the aerial fortress and thus take action ahead of schedule?" Shen Yun wondered to himself as he watched the Kulakov base slowly sink.
"Nakajima, Asuka, you two immediately take off in the Victory Deep Sea Aircraft! Rescue the Kulakov," Shen Yun said.
"Understood!" (End of Chapter)
