Volume 11 The Warriors Who Believe in Innovation Chapter 33 The Scarlet Wolf Tears the Heavens Apart
After the federal government announced its plan to rebuild Australia and build a blueprint for a new Pacific defense network in a rather high-profile manner, many of the Federation's existing ocean capacity has an additional focus in addition to Orb. A large number of building materials, machinery, personnel, and various materials are being transferred through Moresby, where they are diverted and distributed, so as to ensure the effective delivery to Orb and Australia at the same time. Therefore, the Vassago, which has a stowage capacity of about 200,000 cubic meters in the oceanic transport vehicles that travel to and from Port Moresby, is not too surprising, even if it looks like a huge ship that could easily be mistaken for an aircraft carrier.
Affected by the sudden activation of the federal navy's maritime traffic control, there were not many complaints from the transport ship Vashak, which had abandoned the departure procedure, and there was no scene of the seafarers of the old days drinking and protesting on the deck because of such a bad thing, because although it was a huge ship, thanks to automation and AI technology, the crew of the ship was only 30 people, including the captain. The bulk cargo will be loaded and sent to the new compound distribution center in the new industrial zone of Larian. Due to the fully automated unloading and logistics procedures, as long as the transport ship is connected to a dedicated marine mooring, the port containment and conveyance equipment will take care of all the responses.
Well, there's nothing wrong with the ship now looking like a quiet big piece of iron, and after a series of self-comforting sessions, Cambrona, the pilot of the Federation's Jim Type 3, forced himself to come to such a conclusion. But he couldn't shake off the discomfort that the name of the ship had brought him, or the feeling that the ship made him feel a little wrong.
"I always feel that I should board the ship for inspection... It's so martial law, no one on the ship came out to ask about protests or anything, it's definitely not normal... Cambrona muttered.
"Hey, hey, got it, got it, because this ship has the same name as one of the 108 Demon Gods, so you feel wrong, don't talk nonsense that you've had an amazing sixth sense since you were a child, if you really had that kind of talent like a new human, you would have been made a doll by Augusta." From another vigilant steel cannon DT came from Cambrona's teammate Chu Bai's mocking words.
"It's 72, Demon God, Soul Light! Don't press the story of more than 100 men and three women in your country on this! ”
"What more than a hundred men, ghosts, beasts, and three women, you are, don't let your head full of X lust pollute the literary works of our ancestors!"
"I'm too lazy to argue with you," Cambrona pouted, turning the monitor that turned to his teammates in the direction of the military command center in the port, "But I really think something is wrong, why is the martial law on the side of the headquarters to such an extent, obviously the Minovsky particles are not dispersed, and the message has been sent in simple words, and it is Burst... ”
"Who knows...
Just as the two began to chat with each other, the sensors of the Guncannon DT, which was equipped with a long-range radar for the purpose of shelling/volleying, suddenly sent an alarm.
"12 km, explosive reaction!" Chu Bai immediately began to mobilize the output power of the sensor array, and began to concentrate in the direction of the outbreak.
"Lieutenant, Headquarters Emergency Telegram, Emergency Situation Potus-111!"
Rebellion?! Hearing such a code from the steel tank tasked with the task of relaying communications, a ridiculous feeling surged in the hearts of Cambrona and Chu Bai----Rebellion, emergency support headquarters?!"
Just as the three planes in the alert port were moving in the direction of the headquarters, the Vashak, which had been left behind, suddenly heard a piercing sound that made Cambro's heart sink suddenly--- it was the opposite of the feeling of satisfaction and intoxication when the expected good thing became a reality, and the heaviness of the feeling when the fear of nothingness was transformed into substance through the five human senses and transmitted to the brain.
The sound of steel twisting came from the huge hull, which was similar to the sound of the joints of the MS as he heard it in MS, but it was piercing by I don't know how many times.
The first thing that caught the eyes of the three of Cambro was the electrical power receiving board, which was supposed to be the energy source for the ship's advance, and the huge section was being quickly put into the ship's hold. Immediately, a golden particle beam was traditionally used as a camouflage and anti-detection measure for the armor plate and the liquefied natural gas between the two layers of armor plates that acted as a camouflage cargo. The high temperature of the particle beam caused the natural gas that had reached the ignition point to turn into flames, and the red lotus-like flames enveloped the hull of the ship in an instant, and the liquefied natural gas vaporized in one breath, ignited, and the gas volume that had expanded hundreds of times broke through the temporary inner hull of the ship that was originally intended to explode and kill rather than store it, which caused a massive explosion from the inside to quickly spread the huge impact.
The loud sound of the explosion reached the center of Moresby, but the dazed citizens did not understand the situation immediately, and they were stunned or questioned each other in the streets and at home.
The golden particle beam that ignited the entire giant ship seemed to have no target, piercing the flames and then began to sweep.
"Old White !!" Activating the jetpack, he jumped into the air and dodged the particle beam sweeping through Cambrona, seeing that the Guncannon DT appeared to be trapped in a pile of port ruins.
"It's really... I've lost you, don't be captured by Augusta's men. ”
The body of the short-range jet component that was hit by the shock wave and debris and failed was no longer enough to support the fuselage jumping close to 55 tons, looking at the swept particle beam, Chu Bai spat out the last words; The Guncannon DT raised the weapon in one of its remaining arms in the direction that the beam was sweeping, but before it could be excited, it was enveloped in a high-energy GN particle beam, and was evaporated into a ball of molten wax.
"Old White !!"
Filled with rage, Cambrona forgot her consciousness and memories of being a cog in the huge machine known as the Federation Army, and the Jim 3, filled with the grief of the pilot, lifted the Super Bazooka and fired rockets at the source that destroyed his comrades as he fell.
Large, cylindrical legs protrude from the flames, followed by huge robotic arms reminiscent of a scorpion's tail. The entire main torso, which flashes with a GN protective force field, and the four large feet, give the impression of a crab, but the scorpion-like tail structure behind it, and the sharp head of the main torso that protrudes from its slit forward, like some kind of insect, bloom with a brilliant reptilian color. The huge MA "Vashak", which changed into an attack form, shot a particle beam at Jim 3, which was about to fall to the ground, and smashed the wreckage on the ground with its huge limbs, and stood firmly on the ground.
Like a person stepping on a castle of sand on the beach, the seaside warehouse is easily crushed by stepping on, and the huge body that is nearly 90 meters long and more than 30 meters high can bring the same destructive power to the ground as a carpet bomb just by walking forward.
It had to be stopped, and Cambrona, who had come to his senses, manipulated the mech backwards between the ruins, and at this point he saw the image magnified by the CG--- several rockets coming from the defense zone on the other side; Completing their patrol in the open sea, Jaygang's team launched an attack on Vashak from the air.
In the face of artillery fire from multiple directions, Vashak's "tail" instantly stretched out countless outward "spikes" as if countless flower buds had grown, and then the GN fangs that were trapped in the armor poured out of the flower buds, and at the same time, the particle gun mounts on the fuselage opened fire at the same time, completely enveloping the vicinity in a rainstorm of beams.
"Lao Bai... I'm sorry... ”
Seeing that most of the particle beams were coming from top to bottom, Cambrona, who was manipulating the mech to jump up again and raise his shield to defend himself, was pierced from behind by his fangs, scattering into countless fragments in the air.
It was as if something had fallen nearby and the tremor shook the windows of the houses in the port staff quarters near the place of engagement, and a housewife who was awakened by the alarm, loud noise, and flashes of light first confusedly tried to identify what kind of alarm or drill it was, and then she gave up--- she had experienced the tragedy in Australia, and it was probably needless to say at this time.
The housewife pulled out the backpack from under the window, slung it on her shoulder, woke up the child, and rushed out in disheveled clothes
"It's not going to be a disaster drill, is it?" The eldest daughter of the family said in a daze
"How is that possible?! Patricia, where's your brother?! ”
The little boy in the woman's mouth slept in the best room of the family, facing the sea, and the awakened boy witnessed a scene with his parents in the half-awake dim vision, the black smoke slowly expanded, spread into an umbrella and rose high in the air, and countless bright spots were in the black, gradually spreading from the bottom of the umbrella in all directions. In the light of a bright spot, with their backs to the bulging black smoke, the burning object grew in size before their eyes.
"It's a hand!"
The child's innocent shouts became the last memories of the family, and the wreckage of the Jim 3 piloted by Cambrona ran through the residential buildings, as if the fingers had been made by human hands buried deep under the rubble, and the ominous red color and the smell of burnt flesh spread in the night sky.
