Chapter 318: Debris and Sniper
Chapter 318: Debris and Sniper
"The Spiderbot team is nearby to recover it."
"Combat drone swarm to assist."
Before the third biological warship was shot down, it actually fell to the ground.
Su Wu immediately issued an order to collect the wreckage.
More than a dozen spider robot teams were urgently formed nearby.
under his command.
Some of them rushed towards the third biological warship that crashed on the mountainside.
The other part, carrying a cushioned landing assist module, jumped directly from the sky above the lava canyon.
This auxiliary module can slow down the descent speed to a certain extent.
This allows the spider robot to still maintain a certain level of mobility after falling to the ground from a height of thousands of meters.
But the module technology is not yet mature.
After one use, the lifespan of a Spiderbot is drastically reduced.
It will run for a few hours at most before it is completely scrapped.
However, compared to the precious time saved by quickly reaching the bottom of the valley.
These losses are completely acceptable.
Ten seconds later.
The spider robot team rushed to the mountainside and first completed the overall scanning and modeling of the wreckage of the third biological battleship.
Then they began to gather all the debris they could find nearby.
Several biplane helicopters were waiting to take off urgently from the farmyard.
Come and transport it away.
at this time.
The remaining purple crystals on the surface also began to react.
They spontaneously gathered towards the location of the wreckage of the third biological warship.
A firefight broke out with the cluster of combat drones that rushed over to coordinate the defense, as well as the main force of the spider robot army.
40 seconds later.
More than 100 spider robots landed at the bottom of the lava canyon in the most violent manner.
Take advantage of the opportunity in the canyon before too many purple crystals emerge from the magma.
Rushing quickly to the crash site of the biological battleship.
Regarding these biological warships that fell into the canyon.
Su Wu knew it very well.
There was no chance that he would take away all their remains.
Therefore, the purpose is very clear.
Try to pick out those parts that have more complex structures when scanned by reconnaissance equipment.
Cut it into pieces not exceeding 50 kg.
Then it was handed over to a multi-wing drone to take away.
As long as I can successfully take away a piece of debris in the end, it will be worth the trip.
If you can take more.
That's a profit.
One minute later.
The spider robots in the canyon began to dwindle in numbers.
But under the cover of the subsequent arrival of a cluster of combat drones.
Still successfully recovered the first piece of biological battleship wreckage.
Loaded onto a multi-rotor drone.
Let it quickly return to the outside world under the escort of dozens of combat drones.
at this time.
The lava canyon began to shake again.
Familiar situation.
This made Su Wu, who had been paying attention to the situation, feel the pressure.
And just as he was getting ready.
When the subsequent biological warships appear.
However, no new purple crystals emerged from the boiling magma lake.
Instead it is artificial intelligence.
A strange signal was captured coming from deep underground.
That is hidden behind the amethyst.
Intelligent life that directs their evolution and battle.
Seems to be trying to establish contact with Su Wu.
Su Wu connected it to the communication channel.
Immediately, a somewhat obscure sound was heard.
"Human, hand over the psyker."
"You can spare the rest of your species."
This passage is expressed in the universal language of mankind.
Can hear it.
The other side had obviously conducted in-depth research on them for some time.
"Psychic."
"what is that?"
Su Wu's heart was slightly moved when he heard this.
I vaguely realized that the purple crystals had been rushing towards the farmyard frantically, and even in the end, they had led to the emergence of an oversized biological warship.
It's all related to this so-called psychic.
There was no reply from the other party.
But after a few seconds.
Su Wu seemed to hear a sound with a special rhythm in his ears.
Then, several marked coordinate points naturally emerged in his mind.
No need to explain further.
He also knew the people who were at those coordinate points at this time.
It's the psychic.
"There are 5 coordinates in total."
"The corresponding people are——"
After Su Wu reached this point in his inquiry, he fell silent.
The people corresponding to those coordinates are Su Wu himself, the sisters Chenxin and Chenyue, as well as Wei Manman and Liu Qianqian.
People who currently live in the core area of the farmyard.
Not one is missing.
All are on the list.
That's it, there is no room for negotiation.
Even if the entire farmyard was destroyed and hundreds of millions of people died.
There was no way he would hand himself over.
"Can you explain it?"
"What's so special about psychics?"
Although the result is already determined.
But Su Wu still wanted to try to find out more information.
However, the other party showed no intention of continuing to answer.
It just repeats the previous conditions again.
"Hand over the psychic in exchange for peace."
After many unsuccessful attempts, Su Wu realized that he could no longer obtain any useful information.
However, during this repeated questioning process.
He gradually reacted.
The psychic the other party was talking about was probably not the psychic with special abilities as stated in the legend.
It is most likely because Su Wu once gave them spiritual blessings.
The key point is not the person, but the spirituality.
"Want a psyker."
"Just come and get it yourself."
I know there is no point in continuing the stalemate.
Su Wu expressed his refusal straightforwardly.
This time, the tone of the obscure voice on the other side finally changed a little.
"--as you wish."
A few minutes later.
A lava canyon that is constantly shaking.
The vibration amplitude began to become larger.
The exit above the canyon.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, it gradually began to expand to both sides.
From the original width of nearly 100 meters, it gradually expanded to 400 to 500 meters.
And in this process.
The Qinling Mountains began to collapse one after another.
Billions of tons of gravel and dirt, mixed with ice and snow.
It turned into a torrent that destroyed everything, pouring down into the surrounding low-lying areas.
"Someone big is coming out."
This seems a familiar process.
Let Su Wu know that there may be something more powerful than the biological battleship.
Trying to crawl out from deep underground.
And there is no doubt about it.
After experiencing the lessons of the previous four biological warships being destroyed one after another.
This time the enemy dared to show up.
It is highly likely that this is beyond the range that large electromagnetic railguns can handle.
In tension.
Su Wu turned his gaze to the holographic map.
There is a super-large electromagnetic railgun that has already deployed into combat posture.
If he still has the means to fight back.
There is only this super cannon and the Eden satellite in synchronous orbit.
But these two last trump cards have a pre-charging period of more than one minute, and a cooling period that is so long that it is despairing.
Put it into actual combat.
This means he only has one chance to launch the attack.
There is no room for error.
He hesitated for a while.
Su Wu suppressed the urge to start immediately and chose to wait and see.
It turns out.
His choice was not wrong.
After the tremors in the Qinling Mountains gradually subsided.
There was another period of calm that lasted several hours.
Until the sky darkened completely, and thick darkness covered the surface of the earth.
The huge monster that had been lurking deep underground finally began to emerge from the surface of the magma lake.
In the sky, several drones are illuminated by searchlights.
A mountain that seems to have come from the Gobi Desert and has been weathered for countless years slowly rises from the magma bit by bit.
Then it almost filled up half of the canyon.
"Activate the Tianqing strategic strike system."
Su Wu, who was always paying attention to the place, immediately activated the space-based weapons of the Eden satellite.
As for the super-large electromagnetic railgun.
It is currently unclear whether the mountain-like monster will leave the cover of the lava canyon and be exposed within the electromagnetic gun's firing range one minute after the electromagnetic gun is fully charged.
In order to avoid the attack failing, Su Wu did not launch it simultaneously.
Half a second later.
A layer of hazy white light appeared in the dark sky.
That was the phenomenon caused by the strong light from the Eden satellite illuminating the darkness and dark clouds.
then.
A beam of pure white light.
It broke through the clouds and fell on the mountain monster in the lava canyon.
Shining every detail of it.
It was as if I felt a threat from space.
The monster illuminated by the light beam began to accelerate into the air.
Try to escape from the cage of the lava canyon to increase the space for hiding.
However, due to its large size.
The overall lift-off speed was actually not much faster.
Just keep it between 5 and 6 meters per second.
"Heavy artillery cluster fires freely."
"Open the farmyard, the strategic rocket arsenal."
"All guns fired."
Although judging from the speed of the enemy's performance.
Before it actually flew out of the lava canyon, the attack from the Eden satellite was enough to land.
But out of caution.
During this most critical period, Su Wu was not stingy.
Still put all the weapons in your hands that might be effective into play.
To try to prevent the mountain monster from taking off.
After several rounds of fighting.
The heavy artillery cluster has been reduced to only more than 30 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers.
On an ice field outside the Qinling Mountains, they took up combat posture.
Three rounds of more than 100 heavy artillery shells were fired at high speed in the direction of the lava canyon.
Then immediately start to move positions.
They will randomly move a distance of about 3 kilometers before continuing with multiple rounds of shooting in the next stage.
Until the final mountain monster is killed, or the entire army is wiped out.
A farmyard dozens of kilometers away.
In past modifications, the entire vehicle was moved to a vertical launch platform at the edge of the shelter.
Slowly open the layers of sealed gates on the launch silo.
The interior was revealed, revealing a long-range rocket with a diameter of 2.5 meters, comparable to a ballistic missile.
According to Su Wu's current technological level.
Already has the ability to produce complete intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Just consider the cost and attack efficiency, and the biggest imaginary enemy is the Amethyst that is close at hand.
Eventually, the intercontinental ballistic missiles originally planned for the shelter's arsenal were replaced with long-range rockets of the same specifications.
Long-range rockets of the same specifications.
The maximum range is only 300 kilometers.
However, the warhead ammunition it carries is more than twice that of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
It can basically be seen as sacrificing range in exchange for greater destructive power.
It is also cheaper to manufacture.
There are always three missiles in the entire arsenal, ready to be used at any time.
And at this time.
Under Su Wu's command.
They will all be launched one after another in the next few minutes.
Along with the launch silo, all the control gates were opened.
The icy cold current from outside invaded the interior of the launch silo along the vertical channel.
The water vapor inside freezes into bursts of white mist visible to the naked eye.
The huge long-range rocket began to ignite.
With the help of the blazing flames ejected from the engine, it accelerated and took off little by little.
In a few seconds.
It turned into a meteor across the sky, sweeping towards the Qinling Mountains at supersonic speed.
Qinling Mountains.
Lava Canyon.
The heavy artillery cluster fired more than 100 shells in three rounds.
First we arrived above the canyon.
With the previous experience of heavy artillery shells being destroyed by the high-energy lasers of biological warships.
This time they faced a mountain monster that was clearly more terrifying.
Artificial intelligence has adopted new tactics.
It was when the first round of more than 1 heavy artillery shells had just arrived over the canyon.
Just detonate them one after another in advance.
Then, flames and shock waves spread throughout the canyon mouth.
Let the second round of shells successfully enter the canyon.
Then use the same method again.
The second round of shells were detonated one after another.
Let the chaotic airflow generated by the explosion.
It spread all the way to where the mountain monster was.
Paving the way for the third round of artillery attacks.
finally.
The last 30 or so heavy artillery shells.
More than 20 missiles successfully hit the mountain monster.
A dark mark was left on its thick shell.
Use actual combat results to demonstrate the feasibility of new tactics.
After the heavy artillery attack.
It's a long-range rocket relay.
High in the sky above the clouds, a long-range rocket arrived at the designated location.
Adjust the direction and start falling vertically.
And in this final stage.
The engine at the tail of the rocket continued to accelerate.
Make the rocket reach the mouth of the lava canyon.
The overall speed exceeded 14 times the speed of sound.
Such a high speed.
Obviously, it was beyond the range that the mountain monster could react to.
It only had time to fire a few high-energy lasers, but all of them failed to hit the target.
A long-range rocket falling at high speed.
It hit its huge body hard.
that moment.
A majestic sun was born in the lava canyon.
The expanding flames and shock waves that spread in all directions.
Let the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.
They were as fragile as tofu, breaking and collapsing on a large scale.
Turned into hundreds of thousands of tons of wreckage.
Smashed down heavily.
The mountain monster continued to rise into the air at a steady speed.
Under the influence of this huge explosion.
The entire huge body did not rise but fell instead, and fell backwards for hundreds of meters.
Only then did it stabilize again.
"Its energy shield has been slightly damaged."
Su Wu is paying attention to the battlefield.
Noticed the moment the long-range rocket exploded.
A deep red energy shield activated from outside the mountain monster's body.
There was a large shock.
The color changed slightly from the original deep red to a lighter color.
This means.
It cannot withstand attacks from conventional weapons at the ballistic missile level without damage.
