123. Scarab drone
After the hummingbird flew far enough, looking at the dilapidated building that was gradually obscured by the rain curtain, Ding Hao first took out a treatment needle and pricked it in his arm, feeling the wound on his back heal rapidly, and at the same time took out a detonator and pressed it down.
Rumble! The sound of the fusion core explosion was like a muffled thunderclap, and a huge fireball exploded over the location of the hospital building, then turned into a slowly rising mushroom cloud, which quickly disappeared under the rain.
"Goodbye, my sweet Hound One." Ding Hao waved his hand in the direction of the ruins, when he was fighting on the roof of the building before, Ding Hao released the Hound No. 1 to assist in the defense, but the built-in 300 rounds of ammunition were quickly exhausted, and the Hound No. 1 without bullets could only dangle on the roof of the building, and was finally dismantled into pieces by a death claw.
As the hummingbird moved away, the black goose drone, which was still hovering high in the sky, dropped the remaining eight thermobaric bombs together, blowing up the town of Awumada into a sea of flames. There are so many mutated creatures and ghouls that if not cleaned up in time, it will sooner or later turn into a terrifying lair, which is a great threat to the nearby city of El Paso.
But anyway, now this mission is done!
……
"Congratulations!" General Mark personally came to the military airfield to greet everyone, "You have completed your mission and brought back two soldiers. ”
Following the general back to the command room, General Mark began to ask for the specific details of the mission, and Ding Hao and Travica told General Mark everything they had experienced in the laboratory.
"Sure enough, it's the Shadow Council, these guys are really haunted." General Mark took out a pipe and lit it on fire, then took a puff: "But who is that Mr. Corpse?" And what exactly are they doing there? ”
"I met Mr. Corpse in Seattle." Ding Hao reminisced about his experience in Seattle: "He was a very good scientist, he found a way to turn humans into special ghouls, and he made a very lethal biological weapon on his own, but I killed that thing. ”
"Hmm......" General Mark nodded, and then motioned for Ding Hao to continue.
"As for what they're doing in Awumada Town...... Ding Hao remembered the scenes of deathclaws growing up quickly in the incubator, "I guess they may be developing how to quickly produce biological weapons." ”
"Rapid production? What does that mean? General Mark realized that this was a serious problem and couldn't help leaning forward.
"Biological weapons, although they are weapons, are still biological in nature. Since it is a living organism, it must grow and develop according to the laws of nature. Ding Hao explained to General Mark: "It is impossible for a weapon to come down from the assembly line in batches like bullets, so the output is the biggest limitation of biological weapons." ”
If nothing else, an ordinary soldier can also be counted as a biological weapon, and it takes at least 18 years to give birth to a soldier, sufficient food and water, and various education and training, all of which can be combined to turn a person into a killing machine.
"Now the Shadow Council has found some way to quickly produce biological weapons." Ding Hao took out a memory card from the broken goggles and handed it to General Mark, inside was the part where the deathclaws grew rapidly and then broke through the glass container: "They can make biological weapons develop to a combat-ready state in just a few tens of seconds, I think you should understand the meaning of this method." ”
General Mark's back was soaking wet, he knew, he knew too well. Imagine what it means to have thousands of deathclaws pounce on you? This represents the slaughter of the city!
"But don't be too pessimistic." However, Ding Hao's next sentence made General Mark soothe a little: "Everything in this world has a growth law, and forcibly reversing this law will definitely bring some unpredictable consequences, I personally guess that the big death claws and flying dragons are definitely not as powerful as the original death claw flying dragons."
"Thank you for your help." Despite Ding Hao's words, General Mark still had a feeling of being on pins and needles, "Okay, let's not be polite, you are a mercenary, tell me what you want." ”
Ding Hao is not greedy, he only needs 3 nuclear fusion cores, 20 energy batteries, and a reconnaissance drone.
This time, the drone is not a tracked drone like the Hound One, but a flying drone using an electric propeller, codenamed Scarab. This drone is usually assigned to scouts to conduct long-distance reconnaissance of dangerous areas, two pairs of rotors, half a person, weighing 8 kilograms, using energy batteries, one energy battery can allow the Scarab drone to fly for 180 hours.
The most important thing is that the rotors of the Scarab drone are specially designed, and the sound produced when flying is lower than the ambient sound, and it cannot be heard at all from 20 meters away.
That's good stuff! After Ding Hao got the drone, he happily touched its shell, then found a workbench and began to transform it.
The first thing to come out of it was the attitude control computer that was pulled out of the power armor after killing the Purifier officer in Portland, this small part was originally used to coordinate the interaction between people and power armor, and now it can also be used to assist in controlling the attitude of the drone, making it fly more steadily.
Ding Hao used the tactical terminal to program the attitude control computer, and then installed the attitude control computer on the back of the drone, connected it with the flight control module, and added some sensors, which is equivalent to giving the Scarab drone a pair of eyes and a brain that can think for itself.
Of course, this is not artificial intelligence, it is just a simple command condition: for example, the sensor detects that there is a wall in front of it, and then the attitude control computer will actively reject the command to fly forward, although these things seem simple, but they often have a big effect at the critical moment.
After installing the attitude control computer, Ding Hao took out the plasma rifle he got from the Shadow Council in Autmada Town from the interface space, to be honest, this is really a good thing, low recoil, low noise, fast rate of fire, light weight, but the bullet flight speed is slightly slow. Because of this, this gun can't be Ding Hao's main battle weapon, but it can't be put in the interface space to eat dust, Ding Hao thought about it for a while, and decided to install this thing on the Scarab drone.
A flying drone that will attack with plasma pellets, isn't it?
Ding Hao removed the grip, butt, aiming and other things of the plasma rifle, leaving only the barrel and bolt, and then fixed it at the bottom of the drone, and calibrated the camera on the drone to ensure that the center of the camera is the crosshair of the plasma rifle.
It looks good, but if you want to know the real combat power of this gadget, you have to try it at the shooting range.
Thinking of this, Ding Hao left the workbench with the Scarab drone, but before he could walk a few steps, he ran into Lucia, a brother and sister who were looking for him, especially Lucia, who was still holding a sea snake rocket launcher in her hand. (To be continued.) )
