Chapter 576 – Planetary Orbit Cannon
From a certain point of view, a cyborg with implants could no longer be considered a normal human being. The Federation obviously had this technology, but it was only allowed to be used on disabled people. Ordinary people were not allowed to install implants and use them to replace their body parts.
Cyborgs were much stronger than ordinary people. Especially when some soul masters got implants, they even had the combat power of a small mecha.
Of course, implants were also divided into different levels and ranks. Powerful implants were also extremely expensive.
Naturally, there were no restrictions like in the Federation on Heaven Planet. Deng Bo had told them that implants were very popular here because without strength, it meant that there was no possibility of survival. Hence, the weaker ones all had implants. This was also one of the important sources of income for the seven city lords of Heaven Planet. In terms of research on implants, this place was even ahead of the Federation.
The team in front of him was obviously made of cyborg warriors.
“Who told you guys to start a fire?” The man in the lead pointed the soul gun at Lan Xuanyu’s team and strode over. His right arm was an implant, and he was tall and muscular. He was over 1.9 meters tall and wore a metal helmet. His appearance couldn’t be seen, but his entire body emitted a ferocious aura.
“Don’t misunderstand, we’re the Meteorite pirate group.” Deng Bo quickly walked to the riverside with the chicken in his hand.
There were a total of 12 cyborg warriors, and all of them were tall and strong. The strongest among them had metal limbs, and only their bodies looked like human bodies.
“Don’t you know that energy fluctuations are not allowed in this parking area? Fire is also energy,” the man said coldly.
Deng Bo said, “Sorry, we really didn’t know. We’ll extinguish the fire immediately. Please make an exception.” As he spoke, he shook his hand and a metal block flew out. It was obviously a piece of rare metal.
In this Heaven Planet, money was meaningless. Rare metals were the real currency here.
The cyborg grabbed the metal and shook it in his hand. He snorted and said, “If you do it again, I’ll catch you guys and bring you to the slave camp. Let’s go.” With that, he led the cyborgs back into the forest and disappeared.
“Sorry, captain,” Bai Xiuxiu said in embarrassment.
Deng Bo stuffed the chicken into his mouth and chewed as he said, “It’s fine, they’re just looking for trouble and asking for benefits. We’d have been extorted even if we didn’t start a fire. Get used to it. These are the guards directly under the city lord’s authority and only move around outside the city. No guards are allowed in the city. Their extortion quota is fixed. On Heaven Planet, the ones we really have to be careful about are not the cyborg warriors because although they are strong, they have been modified. Those without implants are the ones who have confidence in themselves. So when they see that we don’t have any implants, they definitely won’t try to extort too much.”
After putting out the fire, they set off once again. As expected, they could only walk over. They only walked out of the restricted area when night fell.
Heaven Planet was very big, and they could feel it when they were crossing the forest. The area where their warship was docked was already very close to the city, but there was still a 400-kilometer journey. This was the 400-kilometer journey in the forest. Especially on the first day, this distance was prohibited from releasing energy, and it affected their speed greatly.
Bai Xiuxiu displayed her culinary skills once again. Without the energy restriction, starting a fire was naturally not a problem. Fire was not prohibited because the forest here was very humid and it was impossible for a forest fire to occur. However, most space pirates were afraid of trouble and would not start a fire to cook.
It was still roasted meat but it had a different flavor. As he ate the fragrant roasted meat, Lan Xuanyu immediately felt extremely blessed.
“Xiuxiu, I feel like I can’t leave you anymore.” Lan Xuanyu sat next to Bai Xiuxiu as they leaned against the same tree.
Bai Xiuxiu glanced at him and chuckled. “Senior Demon Queen said that I shouldn’t believe in a man’s flowery words.”
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. “Senior Demon Queen, is this alright? She is actually eavesdropping on us.”
Bai Xiuxiu shrugged her shoulders and said, “I don’t have a choice. I haven’t truly fused with her yet and she’s only attached to me in the form of a companion. It will probably be fine after I reach five-ring.”
Lan Xuanyu said righteously, “Xiuxiu, those are not flowery words, they are sweet words.”
Bai Xiuxiu giggled. “Enough, you. The air here is so comfortable! The temperature is also suitable. I didn’t expect Heaven Planet to be like this.”
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “That’s right! In the past, our various assessments weren’t so pleasing. The academy’s arrangements this time are really good. We are learning something new and it feels like a vacation.”
Bai Xiuxiu whispered, “I heard from Yuge that when we reach our fourth-year, we will have to go on some dangerous missions. That is the biggest test. From the day we entered Shrek, it seems like we are destined to not lead a peaceful life.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled. “But it’s also destined to not be ordinary. Humans only have one life. I think it’s good to live in a little more exciting way.”
Bai Xiuxiu was stunned. “You have a good attitude.”
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “I’m already very satisfied after starting from a trash Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass and reaching what I have today. How could I miss such an opportunity? Let us work hard together.” As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Bai Xiuxiu.
Bai Xiuxiu shook his hand. “En, let’s work hard together.”
Lan Xuanyu grabbed her hand and said, “Xiuxiu, when I was little, I heard from my dad that we humans evolved from ape-type soul beasts or gorilla-type soul beasts. Do you know what is the symbolic event of our existence?”
Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously, “What is it?”
Lan Xuanyu stood up and pulled her up as well. “The male gorilla held the female gorilla’s hand and said, ‘Let us walk upright.’”
Bai Xiuxiu was stunned and only reacted in the next moment. Lan Xuanyu had already let go of her hand and ran away with a smile.
“Lan Xuanyu, don’t run if you have the guts! You dare call me a gorilla?”
Seeing the two laughing and joking around, Qian Lei instinctively turned to Lan Mengqin.
Lan Mengqin’s gaze turned sharp. “Stupid fatty, move aside. Don’t talk to me.”
“I… I didn’t say anything!” Qian Lei looked aggrieved.
Lan Mengqin said disdainfully, “You and Lan Xuanyu are jackals of the same tribe.”
Deng Bo sat not far away and looked at them with a smile as he muttered, “It’s good to be young!”
The boys took turns to keep watch. Early the next morning, they set off once again. They could finally use their soul power to move through the forest.
What surprised Deng Bo was that these seven Shrek Academy students were extremely fast and maintained a stable formation throughout the entire journey. They never scattered.
Originally, there were still two days to go, but they only used a day and a half to arrive. In the distance, a huge city finally appeared in their field of vision.
The first thing Lan Xuanyu and his team saw was not a city but a series of huge cannons.
That’s right, it was a cannon. How big was that cannon? The base of the cannon was 200 meters tall and the diameter of the cannon was over 50 meters. The size of the cannon could not be estimated, but the area it covered was over 1,000 square meters.
There were over a dozen of such gigantic cannons and there seemed to be more in the distance.
Deng Bo told them that this was a Planetary Orbit Cannon. It was a defense system specially designed to target warships in midair. It was enough to deal great damage to medium-sized warships. There were such weapons in all seven cities on Heaven Planet and they were used to deal with possible warship assaults.
The army belonging to the city lords of Heaven Planet was also stationed around the Planetary Orbit Cannons. They saw a large number of troops and modern military camps.
