Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 96: The End of Fire (IV)
From this we can see that Chu Zihang is indeed a very filial person, which is mainly reflected in the fact that he listens to his mother very much. Lu Mingfei feels that if she wants to deal with Chu Zihang, she should first hint at his mother. Maybe when she returns to China this summer vacation, she can find an excuse to visit the Chu family's mansion and see if she can capture Chu's mother first and then launch a surprise attack from behind the enemy.
The delicious and authentic dumplings conquered diners from all over the world. Tonight, every student participating in the Bronze Project on the Moniach feasted on them. Although Professor Manstein repeatedly reminded them not to eat too much, people would slack off in front of delicious food. In addition, he ate more than 20 dumplings, which made him seem even more unconvincing. After eating too much, even his lecture tasted like green onions.
"Although we have rehearsed many times, only tonight will you know all the details. Listen carefully, and remember, cooperation among groups is the key to success." Manstein burped and looked around at the students in the cabin. All of them had changed into black combat uniforms. They stood with their hands behind their backs, looking solemn. This is how the elites of Kassel are supposed to be: they can let go when they are having fun, and be as strict as an army when they are serious.
"This is an unfinished war between us and Norton. Participating in it means that you will no longer be regarded as students. The reason why you were selected to this ship is because you are the most elite." Manstein said, "The equipment department stuffed all their latest things into the bottom cabin. In short, they are all explosives. You have already fought with Norton in Kassel Academy. Fire and metal cannot break through his territory, so those bombs can only be regarded as fireworks for blockade. Our real trump card tonight is this thing!"
Manstein turned on the big screen, and an electronic drawing unfolded on the screen. "The Blizzard torpedo, also known as the Storm torpedo, is currently the fastest torpedo in the world. It is made in Russia, weighs 2.7 tons, is 8.2 meters long, and is a supercavitating torpedo. Its underwater speed is about 100 meters per second, which is equivalent to a speed of about 200 knots. The underwater swimming speed of dragons can reach 50 knots, so Norton cannot escape the attack of the Blizzard torpedo."
Caesar raised his hand to express doubt: "Supercavitating torpedoes are made of metal beryllium, but they still can't break through the domain of the Bronze and Fire Kings. Are we going to equip this torpedo with a nuclear warhead?"
His question is not without reason. This is also the question that all the science students present want to ask. It has been 150 years since the invention of the torpedo, but there are many more countries in the world that can make missiles than those that can make torpedoes. This is because modern torpedoes basically use beryllium to make the torpedo shell for touch sensing. The effect of this weapon will probably be the same as the result that day at Kassel College.
"Of course we have considered this. This torpedo was modified by the Equipment Department after it was purchased. Once it approaches Norton's metal resistance field, its warhead will explode." Manstein enlarged the warhead. "Its warhead is equipped with 8,000 alchemical shrapnel with extremely sharp edges. When it explodes, 8,000 shrapnel will bloom like a metal flower. The shrapnel is spread on a plane with a diameter of 30 meters and rotates at high speed, which is enough to cut dragon scales. Therefore, you don't have to worry about this torpedo accidentally injuring or causing underwater landslides. Although it is a naval weapon, it is now a device used to fight against giant creatures."
"Only one shot? Can it ensure that Norton is killed?" Nono raised his hand and said.
"I'm not sure, so we need your support and the Chinese hybrids." Manstein looked calm. "This is the first time this weapon is used. We can ensure that it can penetrate the Dragon King's defense, but it may not kill him directly. If the blizzard torpedoes can't kill Norton, it will be enough to penetrate his metal domain. Then it's time for the two missile destroyers to appear. Lead Norton to the surface. Without his domain and with the Dragon King severely injured, we can directly kill him with firepower output."
Lu Mingfei thought that the people in Kassel also had a fear of insufficient firepower, so this sentence was very clever to kill him.
"So your main task is to lure the Dragon King Norton out of the Bronze City. Once the sonar monitoring of the Moniach finds it, we will launch blizzard torpedoes. Be careful to avoid it in advance. This is the power of science. Dragons have not had time to adapt to it so quickly. For hundreds of years, humans have armed themselves with the power of science. Finally, there is a chance to balance with alchemy and the art of words." Manstein said, "Next, the list of operations on the Moniach will be announced. Captain Manstein, first mate Finkel von Frings is at the helm, second mate Zero is responsible for sonar and torpedoes, third mate Susie is responsible for ammunition in the bottom hold, and chief engineer Lancelot is responsible for engine and fuel supply and part-time damage control. For underwater operations, Caesar and Nono are in Group A, and Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang are in Group B."
Principal Angers' order was that all students above Grade A should participate, but Grade A was also divided into awesome Grade A and average Grade A. The Grade A on the Moniach was obviously awesome. Almost all the elites of the Student Union and the Lionheart Society were here, and those who were not mentioned by name by Manstein would also have their own division of labor by default.
The only problem is that the name of one of the people is particularly ear-catching... If Manstein gives the task of driving the boat to someone like Finkel, doesn't he worry that he will lead everyone into the river to feed the fish?
Lu Mingfei turned her head to look at Finkel, who was wearing combat uniform and his proud chef's hat, and seemed to like this look very much.
"Why are you looking at me?" Finkel noticed that Lu Mingfei's eyes were unfriendly, as if she was looking at some garbage that was about to be thrown away.
"I remember you were in Grade F..." Lu Mingfei muttered softly.
"I was also a popular girl in Kassel back then!" Finkel felt that he was being looked down upon. He held his head high and was full of energy. "It's just driving a boat. I can still do this job well!"
Lu Mingfei actually wanted to say I don’t believe you, but this task was assigned by Manstein, which meant that Captain Professor believed in Finkel, so Lu Mingfei had no choice but to nod and say OK.
"Then disband!" Manstein clapped his hands. "You have twenty minutes to prepare. Remember to go to the bathroom."
Caesar carried the black box containing the seven deadly sins on his back, and Nuonuo helped him adjust the position of the restraints. Carrying such a big thing into the water would undoubtedly increase the burden, but Caesar was very honored to take this task, because he was a little taller and much stronger than Chu Zihang. The two of them standing together were like a well-trained nobleman and a thin and strong bamboo. Normally, Caesar would feel that Caesar was more powerful. Since he wanted to be stronger than his opponent, he should be stronger than him in every way, so Caesar took the initiative to propose that he would keep the seven deadly sins underwater, and Chu Zihang just nodded in acquiescence.
Lu Mingfei naturally loves him for not fighting and is angry at him for his misfortune. Senior Brother's seemingly detached attitude really makes people feel that he is not ambitious. If he wants to compete with Caesar, he should be better than him in every aspect, so that he can beat this guy who is born conceited! Unfortunately, Chu Zihang seems to not understand this principle at all. Except for the exam training and sword fighting, he ignores Caesar's silent competition in other places. It may also be that his mind is not aware of it at all...
"Zihang, are you okay?" Lu Mingfei was just complaining to herself when a black figure walked up behind Chu Zihang and patted him on the shoulder.
That was Susie, one of the vice presidents of the Lionheart Club. Before Lu Mingfei showed up, the campus was full of rumors that Susie was Chu Zihang's secret love interest. The only interactions between Lu Mingfei and Susie were limited to the fact that Lu Mingfei shot her on the day of Freedom Day, and that Susie had just come over to eat dumplings. If you had to talk about it, they hadn't even said a word to each other.
This meeting was a bit like a meeting between rivals, but they were not so fierce that they were jealous of each other. It was just that the sentence Hang sounded very irritating to Lu Mingfei. In a normal assistant relationship, would a female secretary call her boss so intimately? It sounded like there was a secret between the two of them, as if Su Xi was worried that Chu Zihang was overindulging himself... Could Senior Brother be such a crazy person in private? !
Lu Mingfei sat on the deck with her hands on her knees, pretending to look at the rugged glimmer on the river surface, but in fact she was secretly stretching her donkey ears and staring at Chu Zihang out of the corner of her eye.
In recent days, her five senses have been getting better and better, and the improvement in hearing is particularly obvious. This feeling is like the peerless secret book in martial arts novels. It seems that her Ren and Du meridians were opened overnight in the duel with Norton's words and spirits. From then on, she had an epiphany and realized the mystery.
"Very good, no problem." Chu Zihang's voice was very low.
"Try not to use that kind of thing if you can." After hesitating for a few seconds, Susie thought it was time to make it clear, "The sequelae are very serious. Your mission this time is just to be a bait. There's no need to use your full strength to swing the sword when you meet the Dragon King."
She is Chu Zihang's deputy, and of course she knows Chu Zihang's style of doing things. In fact, many things can be completed with only 70% effort, but Chu Zihang is more accustomed to using 120% of his strength to compress the process and solve it in the shortest time. This violent but efficient style is of course deeply loved by Professor Schneider and the Executive Department, but they don't know that this has a price for Chu Zihang. Transcendent A grade is just a lie that is promoted by the day after tomorrow. Chu Zihang's bloodline is not strong when he was born. He is a hardworking acquired talent.
"The Dragon King is not a fool. Once he realizes our purpose, there will be a fierce battle. It will take some effort to force him to leave Bronze City." Chu Zihang said.
Susie lowered her head, not knowing how to continue her persuasion. A year had passed since then, and she was probably the second person besides Chu Zihang himself who saw the changes in him most clearly.
"But I promise you that I will try my best to avoid blood explosion. I am not the only one on this mission. Caesar and Lu Mingfei are both very strong helpers." Chu Zihang continued.
"Hearing you say that, I always feel that I should always follow you on missions in the future, so that I can prevent you from making any big noise on your own." Su Si smiled faintly, "It's rare to hear you praise someone, Caesar is fine, but you were able to keep an eye on Lu Mingfei who has only been in the academy for a short time."
The name Lu Mingfei has become more and more famous in Kassel College recently. As the suspected ex-girlfriend of Chu Zihang, Susie certainly knows what that means. Only those who are in the fog can see more clearly. Susie, who has worked with Chu Zihang for so long, thinks that she will not be wrong about Chu Zihang. With his personality, it is probably difficult for him to fall in love with a girl like Lu Mingfei. A standard science guy who only tells you "sea turtle" on a date is even less likely to be the type of goblin. I really don't know how those lackeys on the Night Watcher forum can become more and more mysterious.
Of course, there is a one in ten thousand possibility that these two people are really something, but for Su Xi, a plain girl who is a good wife, it is just a perfect excuse for her failure. She really cares about Chu Zihang, but it does not mean that she will only like Chu Zihang in her life. If you really like someone, you will definitely hope that person is very happy. Even if he or she does not stand with you in the end, it is not a big deal. You can let go and take it up. This is Su Xi's style. If she is not such an open-minded and chic girl, it is difficult for her to become a good friend with a crazy little witch like Nuonuo.
But there must be some competition! At least before the opponent's tactics were clear, Susie temporarily kept a very wise distance from Lu Mingfei and did not contact them at all. The enemy was in the open and I was in the dark. If there were any abnormal variables, the person in the dark would always be able to seize the initiative.
Su Qian's calculations were very clear in her mind. Girls in love are always good at calculating. No matter how close she is to Chu Zihang, she has a close relationship with him. No matter how cute, strong, and S-level the little sister from heaven is, she can't cross the threshold of time. The relationship between the junior sister and senior brother in Shilan Middle School can't compare to the relationship of being the right-hand man and left-hand man in Kassel for a year! The so-called little sister will only become the cabbage of the new junior brother in the end. The senior brother should be a pair with the senior sister, which is the truth of the world!
Susie clenched her fists in her heart, as if an asteroid was burning. The magic of love was the strongest catalyst for a girl.
"It's not that I'm targeting her. We knew each other in high school in China. She was just an ordinary girl back then. After coming to Kassel, she grew up very fast. I think that's why she was rated S-level. Maybe she will be the student council president in the future." Chu Zihang clarified calmly.
"So exaggerated?" Susie's eyes widened in surprise. "Caesar is not the kind of leader who only cares about appearance and not ability. If you want him to retire, the successor must show enough ability to make Caesar admit defeat."
"I believe Lu Mingfei can do it, just like the principal and the others believe in Lu Mingfei." Chu Zihang looked down at the endless river water breaking in front of the bow, "Isn't there always a wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave in front?"
Su Si suddenly felt like she had lost for no reason. Chu Zihang... Could it be that he really had some hidden relationship with Lu Mingfei?
