Chapter 22: The King of the Land
Without satellite navigation and positioning, large trucks could only follow a general direction and rush to the garrison point, which was still 800 kilometers away.
The sandstorm shows no signs of abating, and even under the bright headlights, the visibility will not exceed 10 meters, and what is even more worrying is that the wind has swept up the sand and dust on the surface, revealing man-made objects that were originally buried deep in the ground like mushroom umbrella covers.
Even if Tang Lang didn't understand the principle, he instinctively felt that it was not a good thing. Sure enough, the eldest grandson Xueqing's face changed slightly, and she simply described the role of the "mushroom umbrella cover".
It is a surface communication transponder, which is a unique communication method for air pirates without satellite communication, and all their communication is transmitted by this communication transponder buried under the yellow sand. The terrible thing is that in order to increase the control of their own territory, the air pirates have loaded a detection system on the communication transponder, as long as they are around these "probes", whether it is information flow or vibration, they will be detected by these "probes" and uploaded to the central brain of the air pirates' nest.
This is obviously the main reason why the Nilao Air Pirates were able to stay firmly behind him after losing all traces.
It was not found before, only because these artificial "probes" were buried under the sand and were not found.
Tang Lang could only smile bitterly, when the thief also played high-tech, he, a "primitive man" who rashly broke into the starry sky, really had a feeling of helplessness. He was not so arrogant as to think that his small rifle alone could compete with the legendary "Gundam".
Fortunately, the person next to him was not an embroidered pillow, which once again showed Tang Lang the meaning of her existence.
Eldest Sun Xueqing opened her brain hidden under the artificial skin of her wrist, and after a magical operation on the virtual screen, she told Tang Lang: "I have connected to the array detection system that invaded them, and asked the system to send false information to its central brain brain, and they will have to wander around this area for two more hours before they find out that something is wrong." Moreover, I found an interesting location on the topographic map built into its detection system. ”
As he spoke, he reopened his virtual screen, and the east side of the map was blank with red dots. The empty space was marked with an eagle language similar to one of the lingua franca on the Ancient Blue Star, and it was clear that it was not the territory of the air pirates.
"Black Market Town!" The eldest grandson Xueqing translated the meaning of the mark for Tang Lang, and her eyes showed caution: "I don't know if it's a gathering place for human civilization, but what I can be sure of is that it's not the territory of air pirates." ”
Of course, Tang Lang understood what she meant, it might be a supply point, but Lafite Star was full of air pirates, a position that could stand safely under the air pirates, how could the people there be friendly?
"There, how far is it?"
"180 km!"
"Direction SE 46!"
The eldest grandson Xueqing took the initiative to report the detailed location when Tang Lang questioned him, and he didn't even ask Tang Lang whether he would go or not. More than 40 people, including Tang Lang, had not entered the water and rice since the morning, and the air pirates probably did not expect to encounter such resistance around their own lair on the surface of the planet, except for weapons and ammunition, they did not bring any provisions.
The two smart people spoke, and they invisibly saved a lot of things, whether it was Tang Lang himself or the eldest grandson Xueqing, they needed supplies. The lips of the eldest grandson Xueqing, which were once like rose petals, are now chapped, and for Tang Lang, who has spent a lot of physical strength in the jungle, the need for water and food is even more urgent.
However, before that, the large trucks were speeding due east, and 80 kilometers away, there was a secret ordnance and ammunition supply point of the federal military on Rafite, which was an important supply point where all equipment and ammunition were replaced every 10 years. It is also the main task of the last garrison on Lafite, who are not only the face of the Federation being forced to sign an entente a hundred years ago not to garrison large-scale troops in the third star field of the buffer zone, but also responsible for the replacement of ordnance at as many as 15 secret ordnance supply points on Lafite.
Every six months, when a Federation transport arrives, they will be dispatched to replace the ordnance of one of the supply points scattered on Rafite. The Federation has never really given up on the Third Star Domain and Rafi, and if war really breaks out, fifteen supply points can fully replenish the ammunition and ordnance of the two armored divisions.
And the supply point they were going to arrive at was the No. 12 supply point, which had been replaced for less than three years.
The reason why Eldest Sun Xueqing knew was because before she set off to enter the Third Star Domain, she used the A-level permissions of her Federation Major General and Academician of the Academy of Sciences to query the A-level encrypted information about the Third Star Domain in the Federal Center's Brain Database. Eldest Sun Xueqing has never been just a willful little girl, even if she leaves home in a bad mood, she will try to arrange everything on her way, although she still didn't expect that someone would be so crazy and really dare to risk offending the eldest grandson and the Liu family to attack her.
That's because although she is wise, most of the time when it comes to dealing with data, she doesn't understand how crazy the greed for power can become, even if she knows that she will face destruction.
Power is the most delicious poison in the world.
Eldest Sun Xueqing's caution gave Tang Lang the opportunity to see the ultimate weapon ---- mecha that dominated the land battlefield in this era before the battle occurred.
Tang Lang and Changsun Xueqing arrived on foot, this location is very cleverly chosen, most of the wind and sand are blocked by the rocks of the canyon outside the mountain, although it cannot be said that the wind and sun are beautiful, but it is no problem for people to walk independently.
All the others, together with the box truck, waited outside the canyon, the Federation's Class A secrets, not ordinary people can know, if they are unfortunate enough to learn, I am afraid that this life will be spent in surveillance, they are very wise to take the initiative to wait outside.
The flat-headed young man entered the cab with an assault gun on his back, and before that, he and Tang Lang had only made eye contact twice.
After using his brain to connect with the camouflaged information recognition system located on the mountain wall, the ten-meter-high alloy gate located on the mountain wall almost integrated with the rock slowly opened in the wind and sand, it was an artificial cave with an incomparably huge space, because inside, there will be 50 standard military mecha that only entered service with the Federal Army five years ago.
The mecha is neatly arranged in the cave, and it is carefully preserved, and in order to prevent dust, each mecha is covered with a dust cover.
At first glance, it was not so shocking, like three rows of large stones arranged neatly.
Hesitantly stepped forward, Tang Lang was still thinking about how to tear off the dust cover, but the eldest grandson Xueqing stretched out his hand, and with a gentle pull, the dust cover of one of the mecha fell off completely.
Although he had been mentally prepared enough, Tang Lang's eyes couldn't help but widen suddenly, and he stared at the steel monster standing in front of him motionlessly.
There was a huge feeling of vertigo and hot blood that rushed from his spine to the door of his head.
