AD.2154.4.22——

Europa VII, wilderness.

The "Giant Centipede" had re-burrowed into the ground, and to see the size of the ground tremors, it was undoubtedly coming towards Lechtem and Jack.

Hell, if I knew this, I would have changed into a bigger human in the first place, so that at least I wouldn't be held like I am when I ran away, Kaos was annoyed in the crook of his adoptive father's arm.

But chagrin is annoyance, he won't make any moves to struggle to get off the ground and have to run by himself, in that case, can he complete the predetermined battle plan and not mention, in case he is caught up by the bugs, his own strength will at least be raised to the level of "comparable to the mutant giant worm", and this is unacceptable for Kaos, who probably knows how deep the water is in this world, and just wants to live a peaceful life and watch the play silently.

So, before the Driller only shook the surface and did not appear to attack, Kaos could only bored to study the gun on Lechtem's back.

It was an assault rifle with a silvery-white body, a pure black grip, muzzle and sights, and an overall shape that resembled a circular section, full of industrial beauty.

Its name is written on the body of the gun: Colt Defender HD, and the gun-blind Kaos is completely unsure of the meaning of the name.

For an old man, the only feature of a gun from the Mass Effect era that surprised him a little was "infinite ammo".

According to the relevant introduction on the buoy network, it seems that since the mass effect field can change the mass of the object at will, the traditional, fixed-shaped live ammunition becomes completely meaningless, and these firearms can cause terrifying damage by cutting a very small piece from the metal strip embedded in the grip and accelerating under the influence of the mass effect acceleration field.

When Lechtam and Jack switched it from rifle mode to sniper mode before, on the surface, the only difference was that the barrel was elongated in the front and the cushion grip popped out in the back, but in fact, these two actions stretched the "Mass Effect Acceleration Field", which can make the same metal particles achieve completely different initial velocity and lethality.

Of course, no matter how small the particle is, the metal bar itself will of course be consumed, probably after a few million rounds, and the gun itself will be scrapped before then, so these Mass Effect guns can achieve a kind of "pseudo-infinite ammo" effect.

Although the firearm has "unlimited ammo", the reason why the Starlink soldiers can't press the trigger and not let go is quite old - because of the heat.

For example, this "Defender HD", its rifle mode will overload the Mass Effect field generator because it is too hot after firing 45 rounds in a row, and as for the sniper mode, it can fire up to a third shot in a row, so experienced Starlink soldiers will stop shooting before they are overloaded and wait for it to cool down, and the specific overheating progress is also shown on the gun, which looks quite ......

Bang!

The giant centipede suddenly burst out of the ground, and the huge jaws clicked into the air, and Lechthem and Jack had already moved more than twenty meters away from it, Lechtem had no time to shoot while holding Kaos, but Jack switched to rifle mode and fired at the big bug, but it didn't have much success except to reconfirm its "Mass Effect Shield's area of effect".

If a MassEffect firearm is a spear, then a Masseffect shield is...... shield, Kaos turned his gaze to the Mass Effect shield that appeared on the surface of the giant worm.

Unlike complex shields at the city and space station levels, individual shields generally have only two options, blocking high-velocity objects and blocking all objects.

The former is aimed at all types of ammunition and explosive fragments, while the latter is generally only activated in very dangerous environments, so that except for still life, no moving object can pass through the shield.

At the moment, it seems that the giant worm's shield should be similar to the former, after all, bullets can't penetrate the thing, but it can burrow itself.

Sneering –

Jack's bullet didn't work, but it managed to attract the attention of the big bug, and it turned to Lechtem's side, opening its jaws and letting out a piercing, menacing roar.

But by this time, its back was completely facing the infantry vehicle that Eva was driving.

"[Sapolais provoked the Hair Branch——! With the female commander's foul growl in the channel, a bright blue beam of light emanated from the roof of the infantry vehicle and hit the giant bug in the back.

It is a "mass effect gun" that is completely different from the mass effect firearm, because the principle and limit of the mass effect generator are completely the same, so, whoever can shoot more and bigger ammunition will naturally be more powerful, which directly leads to the fact that today's Star Alliance Navy is not interested in most of the parameters of weapons, as long as you ask the "caliber", everything is clear.

More is beauty, big is better, and when this homology of attack and defense collides with each other, whoever is stronger will win.

Boom - Boom! "Squeak and squeak!"

After the Giant Worm was struck twice by the sword that resembled a ray of light, the corresponding air breaking, penetration, and screaming began to reach the sound receiver built into Kaos's helmet.

"Congratulations on the success of the operation, Second Lieutenant Kuhl." Lechtem put down Kaos and complimented with a look that she hadn't heard the barrage of foul words she had just had.

"Ah, hey? Eva seemed to have just sensed what she had said, and her tone instantly became serious and even a little shy: "[Report sir, the target's living reaction and mass effect field are gone. 】”

Jack next to him held his forehead with his hand, although he couldn't reach anything through the helmet.

"Okay, Second Lieutenant Kull, drive the car over and we'll take its body back to the lab for study." Lechtem completely ignored Eva's change of attitude: "Lieutenant Harper, contact the engineering ship and ask him to suspend space mining operations, and first establish a mine here, and the defense force will be three times more than usual. ”

"[Received~]" "Yes, sir. ”

"Hmm...... What's the use of the organs that generate the Mass Effect field in this mutated creature? Kaos asked as he followed his adoptive father to check on the corpse of the strange worm.

"According to the information found in the Martian ruins, the 'Mass Effect Shield' technology that is currently widely used by us first came from the reverse study of the organs of these mutated creatures, and the Naval Academy of Sciences purchased the mass effect field organs of any mutated creature at a high price in order to expand this technology. Lechtem explained a little.

Oh, so the current scientific community is concerned about the fact that the technology itself is widely used by humans? Isn't this idle?

Kaos vaguely heard that his adoptive father, as a Star Alliance naval officer, was not suitable to continue the topic, so he turned his attention to the miserable corpse of the strange insect.

At this moment, the giant insect's originally dull triangular eyes moved slightly.

[Death, death, killing, killing, miserable, miserable, hate, hate, eating

Countless chaotic and meaningless thoughts poured into Kaos's mind, like a large basin of dirty water pouring into a water cup in an attempt to burst it, and it was clear that this was the last counterattack of the giant worm that had gathered all the remaining will.

If it were an ordinary person, it would probably either go crazy or become an idiot.

If it's an ordinary person.

"Ahh Kaos sneezed suddenly, and coughed again when Lechtem turned his head: "This thing is so disgusting, I just look at it and it makes my nose itch, can I go to the car first?" ”

"Well, go ahead, hard work." Lechter nodded in agreement.

Really, can't you see children being bullied? Kicked to the iron plate, right? Kaos sneered as he walked towards the infantry vehicle.

Behind him, the giant worm's triangular eyes, which were still somewhat shiny, had become dim at this time.
