Chapter 132: Seduction
The unmanned sentry system is about the size of a rugby ball, floating in the air at a height of five or six hundred meters.
The early warning range of each unmanned sentry system is very wide, which can cover an area of up to 10 kilometers and a width of 3 kilometers.
However, its limitation is that it has high environmental requirements, and is suitable for use on plateau slopes with an open view, such as large swamps with dense vegetation and dense fog.
This also means that although Mertes managed to escape from the New Watch Fortress, he is now trapped in the area of the Ball Fern Swamp, and if he tries to escape from the surrounding area, he will be discovered immediately.
In the next few days, all the Federation Army and the Star Consortium have to do is to fight steadily and find out this bastard!
After Hank stepped down the gangway, the characteristic sound of the hydraulic transmission activating sounded behind him, and then the tail hatch of the Hercules transport plane slowly opened, and it fell heavily to the ground like a trestle.
The wet soil was instantly squeezed and deformed, and a large amount of sewage gushed out of it, carrying an unpleasant rancid smell.
Immediately afterwards, two "Mammoth Siege Tanks" and four "Spitfire Chariots" drove out one after another along the trestle built by the hatch.
Different from the design concept of conventional tanks, the tracks of the "Mammoth Siege Tank" adopt a composite design, with a total of 4 tracks, which are distributed under the four wheel corners of the tank.
And each group of tracks is designed as the main and auxiliary tracks, and the engineer is equipped with two additional sets of auxiliary tracks next to the main track to improve stability.
In addition to the track joints, heavy alloy plates were installed to protect against the threat of anti-tank rockets, and engineers also ingeniously installed a series of service pipes on the ground and bogies, which were equipped with a repair self-starting system, which sprayed a kind of instant adhesive on the damaged tracks.
This kind of quick-drying glue can replace the damaged track joints, so that the "Mammoth Siege Tank" can be quickly repaired after the track is damaged, and it can still maintain its mobility in the short term, still operate normally, and be active on the battlefield.
Not only that, the armor of the "Mammoth Siege Tank" is made of the newly developed homogeneous alloy titanium steel, and without a special armor-piercing projectile, there is no way to penetrate this rough and thick armor.
Of course, there are pros and cons to everything, which leads to the mammoth siege tank's mobility becoming a shortcoming in the absolute sense.
The Mammoth Siege Tank is most proud of its dual-mode fire control system, namely "Tank Mode" and "Siege Mode".
In tank mode, a double-barreled suppression electromagnetic cannon is used, which fires two warheads, the "vortex armor-piercing projectile" and the new "Night Owl tracking projectile", which is clearly pointed, which can greatly reduce the probability of accidental damage to friendly troops when the enemy and our armies are interspersed with each other, and carry out accurate single penetrating strikes.
Once the siege mode is activated, the "Mammoth Siege Tank" will extend 4 sets of tracks outward, and two hydraulic supports that resemble steel claws will be protruded from the center of the tank, turning it into a reinforced form of a 6-legged vehicle, completely transforming into a fixed turret!
The twin 90mm plasma guns then transform into fearsome 180mm blasters that fire "Cleaner Heavy Grenades" that deal terrifying damage to enemies in a wide area.
Not only that, the Mammoth siege tank relies on its own special "Sky Eye" fire targeting system, and its effective range has reached an astonishing 8 kilometers, which is almost twice the effective range of ordinary tanks (1-4 kilometers), and can carry out covering destruction strikes on enemy positions in all directions.
It is precisely because of this that the Mammoth Siege Tank is extremely in line with the Federal Army's "grounding" tactics, and any ground enemy will lose the courage to attack in the face of the Mammoth Siege Tank in siege mode.
Because few troops can accept the brutal fact that they have to endure more than half of the casualties before they see the walls of the enemy base.
After suffering a big loss under the giant blood worm that is good at burrowing into the ground, the Star Consortium has urgently developed a seismograph and oscilloscope for detecting underground seismic waves.
After connecting it to the fire control system of the Mammoth Siege Tank, it means that the three-dimensional defense system of the entire base has been completely formed, and this large man with an amazing range and a shell explosion covering a killing diameter of more than 20 meters will be a nightmare for those hateful protists!
However, this time, Hank mobilized the Federation's trump card: the Mammoth Siege Tank, for the purpose of attacking.
At this point, it was almost certain that there was a base of the Red Shuttle Star Thieves in the Ball Fern Swamp, and it seemed to be doing quite well.
Because of the seven warplanes sent to pursue the Mertes gang, two were shot down by the Red Shuttle Star Pirate Base.
In order to avoid excessive casualties, of course, it can also be said that in order to catch or kill Mertes as soon as possible, Hank has used all his resources.
Suddenly, faint explosions and firefights were heard from a distance, as well as curling black smoke, Hank's brows furrowed, and he immediately jumped into a "Spitfire" chariot next to him:
"Let's go, let's see. β
The Spitfire Chariot he tuned was a lightweight, high-speed vehicle, and it was adapted to the planet's environment, allowing it to switch to hovercraft mode when on swampy ground. Girls are small
It is typically used for reconnaissance of the enemy, rapid reinforcements, and is incredibly mobile at high speeds and is inexpensive.
From a distance, the Spitfire Chariot does look like a "sand quad bike", with a long flat front and a large butt at the tail, like a sandwich skewered with four doughnuts.
The Spitfire Chariot is equipped with a flamethrower and a machine gun on the roof that can spray tar flames while moving, which can be used to sweep away patches of infantry, and can also be suppressed with machine guns.
If Casio was not there, then it must have been Hank's words that were the supreme order, so the four "Spitfire" chariots immediately galloped towards the place where the accident occurred.
Soon, they came to the place where the explosion sounded, and here was a forest of purple fungi, each fungus was almost five or six meters high, and the fungus cap on top was at least fifty or sixty square meters in size.
When you see this scene for the first time, you will definitely feel like you have arrived in a fairy tale world.
His size was reduced by N times, and then he was thrown into this mushroom forest, and it would not be unusual for an ant bigger than a horse to crawl out in the next second, and a fly larger than a cow.
Looking around the battlefield, you can see that the previous battle was short but fierce, and one of the fungi that was five meters tall was also damaged by the stalk and was directly blown back to the side of the road.
As a result, the air was sprinkled with a large number of spores that had spilled out of the cap, and the stars were shining purple, which was very beautiful.
The source of the black smoke was a military patrol vehicle, which was now flipped on its side of the road, and there were flames burning, and there were splatters of blood around it, which was very tragic to look at.
A wounded man was leaning against a nearby stone, blood gushing out from under his body, forming a large pool, his body was constantly twitching, and Hank knew at a glance that there should be no help.
At this time, several people hurried back from a distance, led by a lieutenant, who saw reinforcements coming from afar, and immediately shouted:
βHELPοΌβ
Hank nodded to the adjutant, who walked over to inquire about the situation, and after a while came back and said:
The lieutenant was ordered to lead his men to search the neighborhood and mark the terrain, and the car that was attacked was driven by his subordinates. β
After the incident, the lieutenant rushed over as soon as possible, and after questioning the wounded, he learned that the enemy had predicted their advance route, and then laid mines on the road, and waited until they triggered the mines before they came out, and successfully captured two wounded soldiers. β
"Fortunately, he arrived in time to catch up with the other party, and now the lieutenant has used a squad of troops to stick to the enemy, and he has withdrawn from the line of fire because of a wounded arm and comes back for help. β
When Hank heard this, he immediately said:
"Go help! Just grab a few captives to ask for clarification!"
As soon as he gave the order, the four Spitfire Chariots immediately switched to air cushion mode, and the eight jet vents on both sides of the fuselage quickly opened, and then sprayed a strong air current, and then drove into the swamp without hindrance, quickly interspersed in the direction pointed by the lieutenant!
Unbeknownst to Hank, all of his actions ended up in the compound eyes of a spore moth hovering in the sky.
This spore moth is the most common species found in mushroom forests, and although it is called a moth, it is at least the size of a swallow and feeds on the free mushroom spores in the air.
Of course, there are also many spore moths because they are greedy for food, and they directly pounce into the folds under the thick cap of the fungal body, and as a result, they are directly stuck by the mucus, and finally turn into nutrients for the fungus.
Obviously, this spore moth was disguised by a mechanical spear falcon, and everything it saw in its compound eyes was all trickled back into the eyes of Lin Yan and the others.
Fang Linyan said to Lieutenant Colonel Damok:
"This is a great opportunity! I've studied Hank, a guy with a brave personality, but he often puts himself in danger!"
"Let's split up now, you concentrate your firepower on Hank, it's best to kill him, if not, you will definitely force the people who stay at the base to come to the rescue with all their might. β
"We can take advantage of the situation and give them a ruthless blow to the newly built base!"
Lieutenant Colonel Damoke was silent, but his personality has always been low-key, and if he doesn't speak, he means that there is no problem.
