Chapter 428 Buying a Horse in the East Market
Louis did not say hello to Steve Heller in the end. He was worried about the plot impact of his appearance. If the plot was deflected significantly and everyone was stuck in the world and could not leave, it would be funny.
Because there is no mission, Louis doesn't know when they will stay until they can leave? Maybe it's time to wait until the final battle is over?
I honestly found a RV, drove back to their temporary residence, and took all my friends to the car, and then started driving out of the city.
In order to facilitate the next action, we still move towards Nevada, so that we should encounter many people who flee on the way, and finally join the people and sneak into the final base in District 51.
Things went smoothly. As Louis and his team planned, their car mixed with countless ordinary people who fled. Then, under the guidance of Steve Heller, who crashed and successfully captured the alien alive, arrived at the 51st area of the secret military base.
This time they failed to enter the base, but together with countless refugees, they parked their cars in the open space inside the base.
"What's next?"
Although it was a bit bumpy along the way, it did not affect Kara and Ethan's rest. The two of them had a good rest for a day, cleaned it up briefly, and after eating some food specially loaded on the car, they sat outside the car and looked around.
Kara's eyes focused on the fighter planes parked not far away, and then she just had to wait quietly for the military to recruit pilots.
"The next thing is to choose an airplane."
There were a large number of fighter jets parked at this secret base. In order to find the mounts of your favorites, Louis climbed onto the roof of his RV and stood on it to look at the groups of fighter jets not far away.
Kara was standing on the ground, worried that her eyes would be too straightforward, but she didn't expect Louis to climb directly onto the roof of the car.
After hesitating for a while, she also climbed up.
He is over 1.7 meters tall, not thin at all, and can even be called a strong Cara. Climbing a RV is of course not a difficult task. He came to Louis easily and observed the fighter jets in the base with Louis.
If the enemy was not an alien, the behavior of the two people would have attracted the attention of the soldiers in the base long ago. Having said that, if the aliens had not attacked the earth, so many civilians would not have flocked to this secret base engaged in special research, even if they were not outside the base.
"It's basically all F18 bumblebee." Kara took a rough look and found that the F18 fighter planes were parked the most here.
The F18 fighter, officially named F/A-18 fighter attack aircraft, nicknamed Bumblebee.
The F/A-18E/F that are stationed in the distance are basically F/A-18E/F, which is the latest and improved model of this model. The various performances and even appearance sizes of this model are very different from the previous models. In order to distinguish, some people call this improved model the Super Hornet.
As for why the Navy's F18 Hornet fighter planes are basically stationed here, Louis speculated that it may be because of heavy losses in land-based fighter planes.
The first wave of alien offensives focused on attacking major towns and military facilities in the world, and then launched attacks on major air bases that launched counterattacks, including the North American Air Defense Command.
Land-based fighter jets should have suffered heavy losses in these two rounds of attacks, but Louis still saw many F16 fighters and a small number of F15s.
Maybe that's why the F18 Hornets are the protagonists of the counterattack in Independence Day?
Of course, it may also be because this film is sponsored by the Navy? Considering that the filming time happened to be when the new model of F/A-18E/F began to be equipped with the Navy, there may be some publicity reasons?
"You can bring three fighter jets, right?"
"Yes."
While looking at it, Kara asked Louis casually: "We have six people here. Should we try to choose a two-seater model?"
"It doesn't matter." Before entering the Independence Day world this time, the options for those modes on the console seemed to mean that they don't need to act together every time, and it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone has to enter the same world.
If this is true, their actions will become more flexible, and the efficiency of completing the unfinished task will also become higher: for example, a few people enter the same world at the same time, but they all choose the single player mode. Although the number of ten thousand seems to be a lot, if a few people work together, they only need to brush a few times to complete.
It also means that even if Ethan, Kara and Rey have no mount space and cannot take away and strengthen a fighter, they don’t have to participate in the counterattack mission. They can do other tasks: such as killing zombies.
Even if these two are just ordinary people, killing ten thousand zombies is too embarrassing for them, they may encounter more dangerous biochemical weapons such as Lickers, but they can choose to team up with Rey. With Rey following them, they can easily kill monsters.
After explaining his analysis, Kara gave a reply that Louis could not refute: "As a pilot, he is more accustomed to flying fighter jets in the air, rather than fighting with a group of walking dead under the ground."
As for the fact that he couldn't bring a plane or use his enhanced ability, Kara also thought of a solution: "You brave men, not everyone is good at flying planes, right?"
"I'm a pilot? Have you forgotten?" Louis immediately realized what Carla was thinking. She wanted to form a partner with one of Louis and the others.
"Aren't you a pilot from World War II?" Kara certainly knew that Louis was a pilot, but Louis said that he had participated in many battles such as Pearl Harbor and Midway, and all of them were flying World War II aircraft. Even though he had a terrifying record, modern fighter jets and aircraft from World War II were completely different: "You can drive these modern fighter jets?"
"Not to mention these fighter jets, I can drive the more advanced ones. I have driven the human-type mechas that are nearly 100 meters high."
Louis will upgrade his flight skills whenever he has the opportunity in recent years. In addition to learning how to drive modern aircraft through simulation equipment in the Pacific Rim world, he has also operated more advanced aircraft during interstellar travel and learned how to drive spacecraft in the Star Wars world.
Therefore, flying the third, fourth or even fifth generation fighter jets on Earth is not a problem for Louis.
"A human-type mecha close to 100 meters high? What kind of world is that? Do you actually want to build that kind of thing?" Kara opened her mouth wide, unable to figure out what kind of world she needed to create that kind of exaggerated equipment.
"That's a world that was invaded by alien monsters."
Louis was interrupted by Carra as soon as he started: "It's also a movie?"
"Um……"
"Understood."
“…”
Louis spread his hands and continued to look at the planes. At this time, he noticed that there were several fighter planes he particularly liked: "I found the mount I like."
"What? Where?" Kara's eyes remained on the F18 Hornet. As a naval pilot, she is very familiar with this fighter, which is currently her first choice.
But when Louis said this, he seemed to be interested in other models of fighter jets... There are only a few main models of this period. Did Louis fall in love with the F15? Isn’t this guy a navy?
Following Louis's sight, Kara looked at her and suddenly looked: "I didn't expect that you were a cat party." She didn't feel surprised, because many fighter jet enthusiasts are cat parties, and she herself likes this classic fighter jet.
The F-14 Tomcat is a very famous fighter in the history of world fighter jets. It is naturally outstanding to have such a huge reputation: this fighter jet has a very high appearance!
Because of its super high appearance, this fighter often appears in various works, including animation super-time and space fortresses, special forces and movie Ambition Gun.
In addition, Louis also has a Tomcat squadron in his ship.
"But the performance of this aircraft... I almost forgot that you were not going to rely on the performance of these ordinary aircraft themselves." Kara immediately realized that Louis and the others had to continuously strengthen the fighter after choosing the fighter jets so that the fighter jets could meet their needs.
In other words, no matter whether they choose F14 Tomcat or F18 Bumblebee, there is no difference in essence. After getting it, they will continue to strengthen it into a stronger fighter.
"Yes, anyway, I just choose the appearance, of course I choose the most handsome one." Louis had decided to choose a F14, but he remembered that during the counterattack, the pilots recruited temporarily were arranged to fly the F18. Maybe he had to spend a little effort to get a F14.
Kara stood there and stared at F14 in the distance for a long time, and finally made the same decision as Louis: she also fell in love with F14.
But she is different from Louis. Louis himself has mount space, and what he wants to think about is how to get this plane.
Kara is not a brave man. If she wants to fight with aliens in F14, she has to cooperate with the brave man.
Louis wouldn't work here, unless she was willing to serve Louis as a radar officer and sit in the back seat to serve Louis as deputy. Otherwise, she could only ask Jill or Bruce if she would like to make her a pilot.
Louis looked at Carla and gave his own advice: "No need to ask Bruce, of course Batman will drive fighters; you go straight to ask Jill, she shouldn't have learned how to fly fighters."
Kara nodded to Louis with a smile, and left the roof to find Jill who was resting in the car.
At this time, Bruce, who didn't know where to go, walked back slowly. When he saw Louis standing on the roof of the car, he immediately guessed what he was doing: "Have you found the plane he liked?"
"Finished." Louis looked at the Bruce standing below: "Guess which fighter I chose?"
“F14 Tomcat.”
"How did you guess?"
"With your personality, you must choose the most handsome one."
"You really know me." Louis laughed twice and asked Bruce's choice in turn: "What about you?"
