“…… Collection of biological specimens...... Is there a spring outing for elementary school students? "A crew member stepped down from a seagull transport plane that landed on the surface.

"You can still come to Jupiter for the spring outing of elementary school students, it's amazing."

"Don't be verbose!" Squad Leader A scolded his subordinates who were chatting blindly.

"The atmospheric composition, air pressure, and temperature are all significantly different from the rest of Jupiter. The atmospheric composition was 67% methane, 7% nitrogen, 21% carbon dioxide, and ethanol and acetaldehyde were detected in the atmosphere. "Yamato's free computer-aided unit, the AU-09, a human-type intelligent robot commonly known as the Analyst, slowly moved out of the cabin.

"Wait, methane? It's going to blow up, hey! ”

"Don't worry, the oxygen content is less than 0.2%, and it is impossible to explode."

"Captain, the unmanned reconnaissance unit arrived at the location of the artificial heat source, which is the base of Endras."

"The reconnaissance robot drops, and the forcible reconnaissance begins."

"The follow-up reconnaissance unit took off, and the reconnaissance aircraft began a deep scan to ensure that there were no explosives."

"Captain, no explosives detected." The pilot of the reconnaissance aircraft reported. "But the heat down there is a mess."

"The reconnaissance team has landed to collect information on the base of encrypted Russ."

The container loaded with the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was dropped by the seagull that went first, and when the container was about to land, the buffer rocket ignited and the container landed gently.

The explosive bolt ignites, the four large exits of the container open, and the reconnaissance robot pupates out. Rush to the various gates of the base.

The explosions were heard incessantly – the robots had no lockpicking procedures installed, and used plastic explosives and gas welding guns to open doors.

"The first detachment explores the way, the second detachment covers, the third detachment accompanies the advance, and the fourth detachment is behind." Saito quickly assigns the task.

The Space Cavalry team quickly opened the way in light individual armor and set up firing points.

"Looks like it's been abandoned." Ian looked at the monitor on his arm, which was a topographic map of the sonar detection of the armored suit, and the reconnaissance plane had basically detected the terrain on the first floor of the base, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.

"There is no obstacle ahead."

"Security on both wings."

"Generally speaking, the data center of the base will be set up underground, almost this area, a certain distance from the equipment area, but it can be quickly protected by the armed forces." Ian demarcated an area.

"Then we're like that area moving forward, Yongcang, looking for a way underground."

"Understood. Team 1, follow me to the third hallway, where there is an elevator shaft. One of the Space Cavalry members in front waved his hand, and the four Space Cavalry ran to another passage.

"There's an elevator shaft, there's a staircase, but it's all been blasted. I tried to forcibly open the passage of the elevator shaft. The team member, Nagakura, opened the elevator door and jumped in. Slammed into the top of the elevator that fell at the bottom.

"Luckily, you can also enter the second basement floor from here." Nagakura peeled open the elevator door on the top of the second basement floor, revealing half of it.

"Well, go over there, the second team will go into the first basement to explore, the fourth team will be stationed here, and the first and third teams will cover the SP to reconnoiter on the second underground floor. No problem, Techno, Captain? ”

"No problem." Ian and Sen Xue nodded, the team didn't understand the special operations, just obediently follow the arrangement.

"An anomalous echo? Falling stones? It's still a question of detection accuracy......" Ian patted the individual computer on his arm.

…… Poor local goods...... Even holographic scanning isn't supported, let alone higher-precision high-latitude scanning.

"What's wrong?" Saito glanced back at Ian.

"Nothing, probably noise, maybe falling rubble." Ian turned his attention back to the path forward.

"Which direction?"

"All."

"Huh?" Captain Saito is almost ready to show his face.

"The ultrasonic detectors showed that there were anomalous echoes in each channel, but the type was unknown and the condition was unknown. The sonar is even more noisy, and now there are unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and survey teams everywhere around here, and there is no way to use sonar at all. ”

"I'll send some drones over to guard the perimeter, otherwise I won't worry."

"I'm in trouble."

"Where the duty lies."

The group jumped down the elevator shaft.

"Active Detection Mode." Ian activates the high-frequency sonic transmitter on his armored suit.

"Buzz! ~”

The people around him covered their ears in pain - the helmets next to them.

"Hey! Say yes before you start! ”

“…… Sorry, I didn't know this thing would interfere with the headphones. Ian also hammered his helmet twice, and the sudden high-frequency humming gave him a little headache.

"It's something like a big server, that direction." Ian pointed to one, and the active probe just now found something that resembled a large server array.

"Forever, forward."

"Wait a minute, all stop."

"Alert!" The Space Cavalry spread out their guard.

"Hold for three seconds and don't make any mechanical noise."

"All stand still for 3 seconds, countdown, start."

"75 meters from the left passage, mechanical noise. Irregular, suspicious sound of mechanical leg movement. ”

"Yongcang, the first squad advances, forcibly investigates."

"Yes."

The four space cavalry of the first squad burst into the passage, and it didn't take long for gunfire to ring.

"Encounter the enemy, about a company, 300 people!"

"Mechanical voices, over there!"

"There's also a hey on the right, the third detachment, build a defensive line."

There were thousands of four people in the third detachment, and one of them took off a mobile shield from his back, smashed it on the ground with a bang, and after a few operations, the bunker spread horizontally and vertically, forming a bunker that was one meter two high and one meter wide.

"The front is coming, too."

“…… Damn, is it still far from the computer room? ”

"Two intersections."

"Two detachments, one person from each detachment, and the rest are stationed." Saito hung up the communication. "We advance, build a defensive line before the next junction, and when the enemy on both flanks is routed, we force our way forward."

"No problem." Ian also activated the weapon system on his backpack. The two robotic arms were activated, and the two 25mm electromagnetic guns at the end of the robotic arms flipped up.

"I knew I was carrying heavy assault equipment......"

"The consequences of a 127mm laser cannon used indoors would be catastrophic, and your 20mm cannon would have gone too far enough in a single room battle. Oh yo ~ The enemy is coming, 35 meters away. ”

Saito took off the mobile shield from his back, stood on the ground, and unfolded it.

"Sen Xue, you're standing behind me." Ian also removed the folded full-body shield behind him, unfolded it, and fixed it on his left hand. Then he set his shield in front of him.

"Enemy Sight...... Enemy fire! The Crypto Soldier opened fire as he showed his face, and the green machine-gun beams hit the shields and bunkers of the two men one after the other.

"Fight back!" Saito's right hand stretched out of the bunker, and the 20mm short-barreled caseless cannon hanging under his arm began to fire, and Ian also extended his right hand, and the 12.7mm machine gun hanging underneath also began to fire. The dense barrage directly tore apart the encrypted Las soldiers in front of him.

"Strange ......," Saito frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"The texture is wrong, there's no blood. The enemy is a robot! Saito pulled out a grenade-sized scout robot from the equipment slot next to his thigh and threw it with his backhand.

"Sure enough......" Saito looks at the Cryptoras Mechanic (who has four high-precision cameras in his head) through the Recon Robot displayed on the HUD inside his helmet.

"Yikes! What a scary look! "It seems that the appearance of the Cryptoras Mechanical Soldier is exactly what the uncanny valley effect of Saito's psyche looks like. The left hand stretched out of the bunker, and the 50mm grenade launcher hanging under it "knocked knock" and fired six shots. Blew up the mechanical soldiers in front.

"Captain, we're here to help." Two Space Cavalry members rushed from behind.

"Yo, fire suppression, let's move forward."

"Yes!" *2

"Now there are almost more than a thousand Endrass mechs that have been broken, and there are no follow-up enemy reinforcements for the time being." Saito and others were on alert around the suspected server array room.

"It didn't blow up completely...... Shouldn't it be said that because it was built as a semi-permanent facility from the beginning, even if it was blasted, it couldn't blow up all the servers...... Should I praise the durability of the CryptoRuss device, or should I complain that the CryptoRuss explosives are not easy to use......" Ian laughed as he read the data from the wreckage of the server.

Ian even found two servers that were still running...... Mori Xue is using her device to copy the data on the server.

"Could it be a trap? The trail that CryptoRus left here is too suspicious. Mori Xue finished copying the things of the two servers and walked over to Ian. Ian was still looking for a readable data storage array in the wreckage, which of course was called a hard drive on Earth.

"Generally, no, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to arouse suspicion. It's more likely that they weren't destroyed properly, and the mechanical soldiers seem to be just consumables for general base security. When trapped, there should be more servers left to stall and give us a big surprise. ”

"Captain! A huge amount of explosives has been found on the third underground floor of the base! There are 2 minutes left in the countdown. After searching the basement floor, the captain of the second detachment who accidentally found that there was still a third basement floor swallowed a mouthful of saliva and yelled at Saito.

Then a group of people turned around and ran.

“……”

“…… Big surprise? Mori Xue squinted at Ian.

"All hands retreat!" Saito waved his hand.

"Hold on." Ian unloaded his arms and shields, picked up the snow, ignited the rocket engine behind him, and followed Saito as they rushed down the elevator shaft.

"The fourth detachment blew up a passage for Lao Tzu on the first floor and retreated quickly! Team Seagulls, come and pick them up! Emergency retreat! ”

"Understood, seagulls take off. Expected to arrive in 30 seconds. ”

The space cavalry stationed in the elevator room on the ground immediately raised their arms, and 20 cannons and 50mm grenades were fired one after another, blasting a path in the wall that led directly to the outside, and then rushed out first. Subsequently, the second detachment, which was reconnaissance on the third basement floor, rushed out of the elevator shaft and rushed outside, and finally the first and third detachments and Ian Senxue.

"Fly up and rush into the seagull, technical chief, your body is okay, right?"

"No problem."

As Mori Snow was lowered onto the seagull's floor, the rear cargo door of the seagull quickly closed, and the ejector was turned on to the maximum, climbing vertically up and running.

"How much longer?" Saito opened his helmet, panted evenly, and looked at the leader of the second detachment.

The squad leader glanced at the countdown on his arm and stretched out three fingers, then two, then one, then a fist.

"Boom!" There was a huge explosion underneath the base of Cryptoras, and the entire base was engulfed in the explosion.

"Report...... The floating continent is beginning to disintegrate......"

The crews of the eight fluctuation mechanism ships watched in a daze as the huge fireball rose from the center of the floating continent, and the huge rift valley penetrated both ends of the floating continent centered on the base in a few seconds, and the floating continent the size of the Australian continent slowly broke in half, and then, whether it was the stable position generator, the anti-gravity field generator, or the environmental control position, the floating continent wreckage where all the equipment was down, slowly fell towards the core of Jupiter, and the huge storm that lasted all the year round, The exchange shredded the wreckage of these two large floating continents.

"Deputy Chief, confirm the casualties." Okita Jusan squinted his eyes as he watched the big explosion not far below him. He vaguely saw a dozen seagull transports flying back against Jupiter's strong winds.

"Well, the data shows that 35 people died, a seagull carrying the explorer was hit by a rock blown up by the explosion and crashed, and the rest of the people were fine."

"Hmm. Tell me about the results of the survey. I wonder what the sacrifice of these people will bring back in return. ”

What is known now is that the plants collected on the floating continent are 99.99% genetically similar to the "poisonous mysterious plants" on the earth, and it can be believed that the plants on the earth were transplanted from Jupiter.

In addition, during the exploration of the base, a part of the data of the encrypted lass has not been destroyed, and now the technical chief of Ian and the captain of the ship Senxue have collected some of the data, waiting for them to decode it after returning to the ship. Now some of the information that has been sent back, and First Lieutenant Shinmi has finished interpreting it, is part of the military deployment information of Enuras. And the information given to us by Iskandar corroborates each other.

In addition, the Space Cavalry Team also brought back eleven cryptoras mechs with a relatively complete structure to study the ground combat effectiveness of cryptoras, according to known information, the main force of cryptolas's ground combat is this kind of mechanical soldiers, and the living military forces are basically in the space fleet. ”

That is to say...... Their sacrifice was worth it. ”

"That's right, it's not a senseless sacrifice."

————

"Lieutenant Colonel Bag, the self-detonation device of Jupiter's supply base has been successfully activated, and Jupiter's floating continent has been blown up and crashed into Jupiter's atmosphere."

"The result?"

"Unknown, judging from the final footage, a transport plane and its full load of personnel."

"It's not a good fight...... Bagh scratched his head. Thirty tons of explosives and two interstellar ballistic missiles were thrown away, and only one transport plane was downed? ”

"According to the images sent back by the combat robots, it should be that the Tyrans accidentally discovered the self-detonation device, and they retreated early. According to the information, it appears that the blasting of the base caused a part of the ground on the second basement level of the base to collapse. ”

“…… It's a matter of pure luck. Bagh rubbed his face. What about the assembly of the reflex satellite cannon? ”

"Eleven new doors have been added, including four for Pluto, three for Charon, and one each for the remaining Knicks, Hudra, Copperos, and Styx. More than 600 new reflective satellites have been deployed, enough to cover the entire universe adjacent to Pluto. ”

"Hmph, that sounds like enough, what about masking your position?"

"Pluto is almost finished, Coporos and Styx haven't started work yet due to deadlines, and the rest of the completion is about "you can't see it if you don't scan it carefully". ”

"It's a matter of luck...... If you're lucky, you'll be able to surprise them with a big surprise. Bagh looked through the porthole at the Jeno Good's modified hull, and there were hundreds of mechanical soldiers outside the ship with welding guns and other tools mending the wounds blown up by the cannon fire of the League of Nations' fluctuating diplomatic fleet.
