v1 Chapter 220: ? Watchtower

Chu Cheng: "!?"

The watchtower is definitely no stranger to DC fans. As the iconic headquarters of the justice alliance of DC immortals, this thing must also gather good things from various immortals' homes. It is the ultimate creation where science and magic coexist.

We all know that in the heavens and worlds, any base that flies in the sky is either a poor spinning top or a fear of heights, and it is inevitable that it will fall down one day. Even a watchtower full of gods can't escape this curse, but compared with its peers, this thing is already considered powerful. It’s not that it hasn’t fallen down before, but considering the strength of the enemies it faces, the number of attacks it receives, and the frequency of falls, its performance is quite impressive.

Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that all the gods stationed in its headquarters are gods who can ignore the upper limit and rewrite the basic theorems, but in addition to this, the excellent technical level of the fortification itself is of course also very important.

The strength of watchtowers under different worldviews in different periods is also different. In the more powerful period, the watchtower was almost a space battleship, with an indestructible energy shield, and magic spells that could block attacks, teleportation, and spiritual abilities.

The sonic boom channel opened by the Apocalypse Artifact Mother Box can make it jump to any corner of the universe and even beyond the universe at any time. You must know that it is the technology used by the real gods in the DC worldview. Even if Zhenglian only digs out the tip of the iceberg of the potential of the mother box, it is enough to make the curvature engine used by ordinary aliens look very mediocre.

Moreover, the watchtower is equipped with a weapon system that gathers various alien technologies, and it was once equipped with a main gun that can strike at a fixed point on a planet.

The main cannon of the watchtower once bombarded an entire city. The upper limit power is unknown, but even Superman was unconscious for a long time after eating one shot.

However, just like the daily erratic strength of the heroes of the American comics, the watchtower as the headquarters of the classic superhero can be regarded as inheriting this characteristic. Generally speaking, it is a headquarters that sometimes defies the sky and sometimes pulls the hips. There are a lot of strong settings, there have been highlights and MVPs, but there are also times when the system is completely offline and someone randomly sneaks in. Although the watchtower that Chu Cheng is currently shipping is not the spinning top on the orbit of the hip-pushing period, it is not equipped with all the weapons of the peak period.

There is no main gun for fixed-point strikes and a mother box that allows it to jump freely between stars—but it is normal, after all, it is designed and positioned as a Zhenglian base instead of a battleship, and most of the time it stays obediently on the surface and does not run around. None of the above are considered normal configurations for watchtowers.

Seeing Chu Cheng staring at the details page on the screen, Friday smiled and asked: "Sir, do you want to go up and take a look yourself?"

"Uh, can it be?" Chu Cheng hesitated, "If I summon this piece of equipment, will it..."

With something as big as a watchtower, it's impossible to ring the doorbell to ask him to come and check it, right?

"Of course, the watchtower is equipment for the universe, and it can only be summoned in space." Friday introduced, "When you choose to summon, you can freely choose an area on the earth's orbit to release."

"Uh... Will it be discovered by others? Like the military satellite of Earth's Pole Star or something?"

"If you want to be discovered," Friday said with a smile, "but if you want to keep a low profile, of course not. After all...it's a Soyuz satellite."

When Chu Cheng thought about it, he was right.

In some periods of DC Earth, all human governments and people don't even know that there are watchtowers. They all thought that the headquarters of the Justice League was the Hall of Justice on Earth, but they didn't know that the hall was just a cover. The real core technology and combat areas of the League were all secretly set up on the watchtower.

The watchtower is mainly funded by DC's representative local tyrant, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman participated in the design, and Martian Manhunter was responsible for the main construction. Its core technology not only includes Wayne's black technology, but also mixed with DC Hawkman's home planet Nagan star technology, Mars technology, space police Green Lantern's Oua technology, Krypton technology from Superman's Freedom Fortress, and Cyborg technology. And the apocalypse technology of the mother box, and then there is the magic blessing of Zhenglian's mysterious side boss.

So this is not only black technology on the earth, it is definitely not inferior to other alien races in the universe of the DC world.

"...Forget it, I won't go up in person."

After thinking about it, Chu Cheng gave up the temptation to log in to such a god-level fortification in person.

It's still the same principle, until you become a god. Although he has no doubts about the strength of this interstellar fortress, as long as conditions permit, his principle of staying out of the mountain will never change. After all, he doesn't have to go up to see the watchtower in person, it's the same with remote control of a hero character.

For a moment, he also thought about simply moving there and staying there. Anyway, he is now a full-time spring commander and stays at home. It is more comfortable to stay on the watchtower to play games with more space and better facilities. It is definitely more comfortable than staying on the ground.

The only unsettling thing is that this thing is still essentially an air base. There is a saying that the higher the flight, the harder the fall, and whenever some monsters and snakes appear from the alien planet, this little spinning top floating in low-Earth orbit always bears the brunt, often before the other party reaches the atmosphere. It has already been drawn first.

Considering the current warning they have received is that the Earth Pole Star may also be facing some kind of extraterrestrial crisis, and the enemy's strength and technical level are completely unknown, and the watchtower may not necessarily be able to withstand it, so Chu Cheng decided that he should not go up for the time being. . If he, the commander, is blown away by an alien ancient **** in the spring before he starts beating him, it will be an avalanche.

"Pick me a place on the track, and release it on Friday to have a look." Chu Cheng said.

"Okay, sir, the best delivery area has been planned."

Select summon directly. The game screen suddenly changed the camera, the screen switched to the universe, and the perspective was pulled out of the polar star. A huge interstellar fortress emerged out of thin air, and the silver-white space station was like a sword standing among the stars, suspended under the endless starry sky.

"The watchtower has been summoned, and it is currently 35,000 kilometers above the ground," said Friday. "I am trying to gain access to the watchtower. Your permission is required, sir."

Chu Cheng clicked on the details of the watchtower in the equipment column, and sure enough, he saw the pop-up access application prompt. He clicked the permission button.

Then he switched to the hero selection interface and chose Batman to log in to the game.

"So how do I get up? Fly up with bat wings?"

"It's an option, you just need to open an entrance on the shield when the Batwing arrives." Friday paused, "Alternatively, you can directly lock Batman's coordinates and log in directly with the Justice League's teleportation system."

Chu Cheng's eyes lit up: "Wait, we have a teleportation system now!?"

The instant-moving teleportation device is also one of the representative black technologies of the Zhenglian watchtower, and it is a regular standard equipment rather than an unconventional weapon in a special period.

Chu Cheng quickly found the transmission device on the details page~lightnovelpub.net~ and checked the description. Surprisingly, this device has no personnel restrictions, he can choose anyone at any coordinate on the entire planet, and send specific objects directly into the watchtower!

It’s just that this is a bit like the city return skill in MOBA games. The reading bar is a bit long, and you can’t move or leave the designated area during the reading bar, otherwise the teleportation will be interrupted.

And like all the systems of the watchtower, including weapons and defenses, the key to the teleportation device is also in Chu Cheng's hands.

Because this is also an extracted finished product rather than something built by technical modules. It is essentially game equipment, which is bound to Chu Cheng personally. That is to say, Chu Cheng is the only captain of this ship, has the highest authority, and cannot be transferred or traded.

Teleport target selected. In the picture, Batman staying on a certain roof was quickly enveloped by a burst of white light, and his whole body became illusory and transparent, blending into a part of the white light, and shot into the sky with a snap.

In the blink of an eye, the next moment, the light fell on the teleportation platform of the watchtower like a waterfall. Batman was already standing on the metal platform, his cape flying behind him.
