The Ark was transformed into a Scania Hagrid RV that was 13.7 meters long, which is equivalent to over 320 meters long for a small person. A train of eight cars is about 200 meters long, and the Ark is more than half the length of the train.
The car is divided into 17 floors, with the bridge located on the third floor, and above the fourth floor, it is the residential floor. But as commanders, the captain and co captain's quarters are arranged in secluded locations on the fourth floor nearby, making it easier for them to arrive at the bridge as soon as possible.
However, they are still equipped with a more spacious and comfortable living room on the seventh floor, which is to help them cultivate their physical and mental health. However, after Tom's disappearance, neither Shen Jiayi nor Lin Meiqi, nor Second Deputy Captain Ruan Qingqiu, have the time and mood to rest here.
But on January 9th, both the Chief Scientific Officer and the Acting Captain "moved" to a large suite specially reserved for Tom to rest.
This place is spacious and bright, with private lighting inside, and a variety of small furniture decorations, making it feel like a presidential suite.
Moreover, there are large glass windows in both the bedroom and living room, providing a clear view of the scenery ahead of the Ark. Of course, the Ark has Zhou Zhengping's expertise in glass deformation, which is even harder than tempered glass, so there is no need to worry about being hit by monsters and rushing in.
The midday sunlight projected through the glass window onto the spacious and soft bed, and Tom opened his eyes, once again experiencing the illusion of waking up from a nightmare of miniature catastrophes.
But Lin Meiqi's head resting on his chest brought him back to reality.
Miniature apocalypse is not a dream, it is already a dilemma that everyone needs to face, but at least... once a homeless child struggling to survive, he has become a respected idol by many people. He has regained his long lost sister and also gained his own love... there is still more than one.
Pressing against his chest was Lin Meiqi, and holding his other arm was Shen Jiayi. Last night, he reunited with them again, and Tom no longer avoided their enthusiasm. After experiencing the blow of losing him, they no longer held onto their only position. At least for now, it is a good thing for everyone.
After a night of transformation, Tom felt a heavier burden on his shoulders, but also more confident, because he needed to bear more than just other companions, but also his own sister and lover.
Carefully put the two women back into bed, cover them with blankets, and then quietly leave this large suite, riding a bicycle to the bridge for a walk.
Today, Ouyang Haotian was at the helm. When he saw Tom come in, he immediately ran over with a smile and reached out for candy to eat, while jokingly saying, "Congratulations, An Shitou, you have successfully become a true man."
Tom gave him a glare, and there was nothing he could do about this less serious guy.
But joking aside, when it comes to business, he is still very clear about it.
After hastily packing up the wounded, wreckage, supplies, and ammunition last night, the Ark made an emergency transfer and left the underground garage of the shopping building to drive into a secluded community.
There is an empty shop door here that can be knocked open, just enough to open the ark and use it as a temporary garage. This way, there is no need to guard other directions except for the front entrance, which is very suitable for repairing the ark, and the number of guards arranged is relatively more abundant.
After learning about the current situation at the bridge, Liu Lian took him on a tour of other departments on the ark.
The Science and Technology Development Department is Lin Meiqi's territory. After he disappeared for so long, this girl devoted her energy frantically to research, not only realizing the automation of the Crystal Energy Shield, but also improving some of the power issues of the Sea King.
It is precisely because the Ark and armed pickup trucks are equipped with electronic crystal energy shields of different sizes that they were able to engage in battles with the Haiwei Mini Industry and the Alien Gang for so long without causing too much damage.
Crystal energy barrier is a power that only a small number of awakened individuals possess, but it was the Tianxuan Society that first popularized this power, allowing some bone armored warriors to also use crystal energy barrier. The inspiration for Lin Meiqi's improvement came from the autopsy of a bone armored warrior, combined with her own exploration of "power activated energy temporary storage technology", which was the realization of the concept of a portable crystal energy shield.
The deputy director of the Technology Development Department is Iron Slag Old Man, a former engineer at Haiwei Mini Industry with rich experience in many engineering fields. As for Yan Xuebing, who was abducted from the Haiwei Mini Industry R&D department by Tom, he became an expert in the crystal energy armor of the Ark. With Lin Meiqi's summary of Tom's armor development experience, he has already gained direction in the development of the fourth generation armor.
However, in specific theoretical applications, there seems to be a bottleneck, which has led to the delay of the new armor.
After seeing Tom, he excitedly pulled him aside and asked questions, as if Tom's fusion with the Sea King armor had shown him another direction of development for the new armor.
"Although above the level of male ant armor, they can no longer be called armor, but mechas. However, your fusion has brought the giant armor back to its original track. Director Lin has arranged a new project for me, which is to create a specialized armor for your skeleton transformation. It happens to bypass some of my difficulties and directly meet the technical requirements of the new generation of armor."
As soon as he mentioned the armor, Tom became enthusiastic. The short duration of his skeletal transformation is due to the energy limitation of the crystal nucleus in his body, but there is a problem with the connection between the energy crystal of the Sea King's energy backpack and him, resulting in excessive output loss. Nearly half of the crystal energy is wasted in the transmission process.
With stronger armor, his fused iron skeleton body will have an advantage when facing mutated wolves or more powerful beasts.
However, Liu Lian is too familiar with Tom's personality. Once he immerses himself in the study of armor, it won't take him ten and a half days, or even longer, to savor it. At this moment, Gao Najin dragged him away because there were other departments that Tom needed to inspect,
Reluctantly bidding farewell to the Science and Technology Development Department, I turned left and arrived at the New Special Tune Department.
As the security maintenance force of the Ark, the main task of the New Special Investigation Department is to ensure the safety of the Science and Technology Development Department, the Armed Reserve Department, and the bridge, so it is normal to arrange office buildings nearby.
The new special investigation department is headed by former member No. 28, but unlike before, the members no longer use numbers to replace their names, and No. 28 has also changed back to their previous name, Pang Xinli.
The deputy section chief is Zhang Guxing, former police officer, deputy section chief of the internal safety department of Haiwei Mini Industry, and deputy head of the safety supervision office.
After entering the Haiwei Mini Industry, this former police officer seems to have been serving as the deputy, not because of his insufficient abilities, but rather because he is more willing to participate in various practical work with a down-to-earth attitude compared to facing paperwork and office work.
Next is the Doomsday Strategy Intelligence Department, which is responsible for collecting city information and predicting the surrounding environment based on pre disaster intelligence data, in addition to receiving intelligence from the reconnaissance teams of the combat corps.
The section chief is Liu Lian. In addition to greatly enhancing and upgrading his sound radar abilities, this kid used to be very good at collecting and using various data provided by game systems for operation when playing games. After repeated training in the Haiwei Mini Industry, he was able to demonstrate his skills and practice on the Ark, becoming the most flexible intelligence leader on the Ark.
He occasionally applies for Lin Meiqi's super brain to perform logical operations, sort out various air humidity, temperature, and recent weather conditions, as well as vegetation growth characteristics, and can also predict the types of mutated organisms and the degree of threat that the surrounding environment may encounter.
Thanks to his excellent judgment and intelligence sorting, the Ark was able to evade the pursuit and interception of the three major forces and successfully reach the gate of the world, hiding in this huge theme park, causing several waves of pursuers to return without success and completely losing the movement of the Ark.
It can be said that Liu Lian has completely evolved from a "scout with sound radar" to a "guide dog on the Ark that can find direction even with closed eyes". Of course, this was not without the encouragement and support of his wife Zhao Yingying.
During this period, Liu Lian proposed that his son Liu Yongjun recognize Tom as his godfather, which was also a decision that Zhao Yingying strongly supported.
After all, before the micro disaster occurred, Liu Lian was just an otaku hiding in a rental room all day playing games, occasionally facing Zhao Yingying outside the window and outside the leisure club downstairs.
After the Miniature Cataclysm, Tom took him away from the rental house controlled by the mutated queen ant. On the way, he trusted his "illusion" and led the team to find Zhao Yingying, who had been driven into the alley by mice.
If it weren't for Tom's support, Liu Lian wouldn't have been able to defeat that mouse, and Zhao Yingying would have been eaten by the mouse. Later, it was Tom who fled the supermarket with Liu Lian and Zhao Yingying, and rushed to the Redemption Shelter. This caught the attention of the mutated cat Ah Huang, allowing Li Qiang to take Liu Lian into a safe shelter.
It can be said that without Ah Huang, a stranger like Zhao Yingying and Liu Lian would have a more bumpy and difficult journey together.
Tom generously agreed to this request and decided to find an opportunity to prepare a small gift. During dinner, he saw his godson giving it as a welcome gift.
Leaving the post apocalyptic strategy intelligence department, it is natural to go to the neighboring armed reserve department to take a look. This is the department responsible for storing, maintaining, and maintaining various firearms, armor, and crystal energy shield equipment. The person in charge is a newly joined survivor, who is also an awakener.
Leaving here, we arrived at the Logistics Support Department, led by their old friend Cheng Fuhua, former manager of the leisure club and head of the front and rear logistics department of Haiwei Mini Industry.
Although this honest and steady man does not possess any special abilities, he even surpasses Shen Jiayi, who possesses super brain abilities, in terms of logical thinking in handling work.
After training in the Mini Industrial Logistics Department of Haiwei, Cheng Fuhua managed the material and personnel allocation work of the Ark with ease and organized management.
The war still relies on logistical support, which cannot be ignored even in the era of miniaturization and apocalypse, where there are supernatural powers and black technology weapons and equipment.
Of course, he also gained his own love in this job.
Finally, Tom went to the Ark Honor and Belief Fighting Legion to see his old friends.
"Ango, it's great to see you again!" The tall man, dressed in bandages and sitting in a wheelchair, led a few people to guard the entrance. Seeing Tom coming from afar, he shouted excitedly and was pushed up by others.
