78 – can’t find target
The concept of perfection does not exist in this world.
Although, technology and evolution tend to move forward in pursuit of perfection all the time, this is only a concept that can be approached in any way, and it was impossible to reach it at all.
In that respect…
The anti-aircraft fire of the Abyss is obviously great, but I decided that there must be a weakness here as well, so I researched it.
Unlike unleashing a simple anti-air barrage, the accuracy rate was so accurate that it was considered abnormal.
The fundamental reason is that each bullet flying toward the airship is a small living Abyss, and after being shot out of the bodies of intermediate Abyss that act as anti-aircraft guns, they release their own gas and use the momentum generated to rush toward the target.
In the process, the wings or fins on the body are moved and the angle is adjusted to show the movement like a guided missile.
It is thanks to the movement of these living homing bullets that the Abyss were able to show a fraudulent anti-aircraft fire rate, and this is why the Air Force has always suffered enormous damage and has somehow managed to surpass the movement of these living homing bullets. I was doing my best
A little faster, a little more precise. And the air force and its technicians who are training and researching in order to somehow avoid enemy attacks by flying a little more chaotically.
But..
Despite their efforts, with current human technology, it was not easy to evade the anti-aircraft attacks of the Abyss, which shot down planes and flew up to the stratosphere.
After the Hunters were introduced to the Air Force, they succeeded in lowering the level of damage to a tolerable level, and while quantifying the performance of air power accordingly, they contributed to the decrease in the shooting down rate a little, but the losses still incurred were enormous. situation.
This is the biggest dilemma the Air Force currently has, and the biggest reason why it must always be prudent in using air power.
If you sortie once, you should be prepared to drop more than half of them.
Even if the problem with the pilot was resolved thanks to the mobilization of the drone, the huge loss of resources still makes the people involved feel bitter.
And.. Regarding the biggest challenge of the Air Force, I, who was showing great interest in this side, was able to discover one important fact.
The Abyss’ movements and the behavioral principles of the gnomes.
And one fact that I was able to confirm in a very fleeting moment in the data video related to the air battle.
Based on that, I think it’s worth a try.
In this regard, I decided to check the usefulness in practice through a suitable opportunity as if it had arisen.

Countless small Abyss flying towards the fighter.
Those living bullets with the power, speed, and precision to knock down even an airplane flying in the stratosphere began to move towards the target in front of their eyes.
A target flying at Mach speed.
However, the speed of the Abyss was not far behind at all, and rather, from the point where the distance to the target was not long, they rushed in to plunge their bodies into it, speeding beyond the flying metal.
That moment..
“Kyririk?”
Small Abyss that express doubts with strange cries.
The guys didn’t understand at all what was happening right in front of their eyes.
The fighters that had been showing it very clearly in their field of vision until just now.
But… at this moment, the huge piece of metal that was caught in their sight could not be found at all, as if it had disappeared.
There was no sign of a change of direction.
It didn’t even increase the speed.
No matter how fast they moved, they would not be able to completely outrun them, who moved at Mach speed.
But… nonetheless, the target disappeared from sight.
For these living bullets, whose senses depend only on sight, the disappearance of an object from sight was taken as its total disappearance from the world.
and. For the small Abyss, who just instinctively ran toward a target they had once captured, the disappearance of the target was enough to cause a mental error.
Moreover, at this moment they were flying at the speed of Mach.
The outcome of countless sonic bullets lost in confusion and lost their targets was so obvious.
“Kieeaek!!!”
-Kwagigi Geek!!!
A situation in which objects that had been flying at tremendous speed suddenly lost their direction and ran out of control,
The result, of course, led to collisions with other nearby objects, and the small Abyss, which flew as living anti-aircraft bullets, became like flying flies in the sky in chaos, repeating collisions and rotations among themselves, and then the same. It lost momentum and began to fall to the ground.
And after a while…
A fighter plane reappears from somewhere and lazily passes over the bio bullets that lose momentum and fall in vain.
The small Abyss who fell to the ground met their end as they were, questioning this situation that they could not understand with their own abilities.

“C’est incroyable..”
Glass looked dazed for a moment at the situation unfolding in front of his eyes.
An unbelievable reality even if you make it with your own hands.
Seeing the bullets of the Abyss, which were clearly ready to shoot down the fighter, suddenly wandered and fell in vain, she began to have deep doubts about this strange situation.
And… in her ears, she began to hear the man’s voice who could solve her question.
-“I see.. as expected.”-
“A..Aide! This… how did this happen? It was just a really simple… very simple act. But how can the Abyss be like this..”
As she said, what she did was really insignificant, but at the same time it was something she would almost never do in the middle of a battle.
What she did right before the bullets of the Abyss flew…
It is… the reverse propulsion normally used when a fighter plane lands, and the engine is operated as much as possible to rapidly reduce the speed of the aircraft.
Simply put, it could be said to be an act of suddenly stepping on the brakes of a running car.
It was almost similar in that it slowed down abruptly even though a perfect stop was impossible as it was in flight.
In general, if a person is riding, it would have suffered considerable damage due to the momentary inertia at this time, but in terms of piloting the drone, there was no major problem other than putting a slight burden on the aircraft.
However, the result was more dramatic than she thought.
At this simple action, the Abyss suddenly lost their direction and fell into confusion as if they had caused an error.
The appearance of the anti-aircraft fire of the guys who were considered to be close to perfect was so hopelessly neutralized that it gave her a considerable shock…
Regarding this, Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun, the person who ordered this work, began to give answers to her questions in a voice full of deep joy.
– “In fact, it was a simple principle if you know the inside story. Glass, or have you ever seen a video of skydiving?”-
“You mean parachutisme (skydiving)? Yes, of course I’ve seen it, but what is it with this… ah!”
At that moment, Glass’ reaction as if something had come to mind.
Regarding this, Jinhyeon confirmed with a clear voice that her thoughts were correct.
-“Yes, if you look at that video, when you open the parachute at the end, it seems as if the person has instantly disappeared from your field of vision. In fact, even though the speed was simply slowed down, the camera could not capture it due to the sudden change in speed. The phenomenon just before made use of that principle and the characteristics of small Abyss.”-

Just like when shooting star diving, capturing a target with a camera and shooting it within a narrow range, small Abyss keep their field of view fixed on a fast-moving target and run after it.
However, Jin-hyeon was able to find out that such guys have a fatal weakness through his unique powers of observation and analysis.
That’s right… if the speed of an object suddenly slows down, it’s almost impossible to catch it.
Acceleration or change of direction could be followed as long as a certain time interval was given, but the concept of following a sudden drop in speed such as sudden braking did not exist for them.
Moreover, as the speed of the guys is also moving in the area of Mach, it is almost impossible to catch an object that has suddenly slowed down in this situation.
And… the fired bullets, which lost their target in sight, lost their way and wandered, losing the chance to effectively blow their own lives for a fleeting moment and falling to the ground in vain.
– “Still, I haven’t used it in practice yet, so I wasn’t completely sure, but I think this was enough success. Thank you for your cooperation, Glass.”-
“Aide..”
At Jinhyun’s words of gratitude, Glass puts a beautiful yet calm smile on his lips.
And at that time…
As he confirmed one more simple but fatal weakness of the Abyss, Jinhyun’s lips began to show a deep smile of victory.
