Chapter 434: Illusion

"Click......"
It was the sound of steel crushing rubble and dead wood branches, and it was a squad of combat robots patrolling the mountains and forests along a planned patrol route.
Sun Cheng happened to pass by here, and when he saw this patrol team composed of combat robots, he couldn't help but stop, carefully looking at the second-generation combat robots newly created at the base.
Like industrial robots, combat robots were designed and manufactured by Atlas at his suggestion.
It's just that the first generation of combat robots is completely based on a generation of industrial robots, with some improvements.
So while it's cheap to produce, there's not much potential for retrofitting, and it's not very suitable for use in many different terrains and regions, and it's not as good as it could have been in some of the past battles.
You must know that on the battlefield, even a single jam can lead to the defeat of a war, not to mention obvious performance problems.
The best example is the world's first Gulf War, in which Iraq, known as the world's third military power, sits on a million troops and thousands of artillery, tanks, and warplanes, both in number and size, much larger than the anti-Iraq coalition launched by the United States.
But what is the result?
The reason why Iraq's bottoms have been ripped off is not that the gap between the two countries in terms of tactics and equipment performance is too great.
Of course, the main reason why the second-generation combat robots can be mass-produced by the base in such a short period of time is because the combat power in Sun Cheng's hands is too scarce.
A blue light shot out of his eyes, and he quickly scanned the data of the combat robot as it passed by him, and he already had a number in his mind.
This second-generation combat robot newly created by the base is indeed a big improvement over the previous generation!
Judging from the size alone, this batch of robots that still looks like they are still about two meters two or three in size look much slimmer than the original slightly bloated generation, but the strength of the body is not an order of magnitude at all.
However, although the new alloy has improved the strength of the body and reduced the weight by nearly 30%, the cost has also increased by nearly half.
Of course, the increase is clearly worth it.
The new second-generation combat robots began to have their own organization, a combat team composed of ten combat robots, six of which are conventional combat robots, equipped with a weakened version of the energy gun, a set of arm-mounted large-caliber grenade launchers and an alloy knife, its mobility is enough to complete the mobile deployment of more than 240 kilometers in an hour without any vehicles, and has a good hand-to-hand combat ability.
Despite the removal of the shoulder cannon and the resulting reduction in damage, an integrated robot combat squad also includes four heavy combat robots that have been upgraded for the basic version.
Although these four combat robots are not much different from the basic version in terms of body, they have only been specially designed to improve their load capacity and firepower.
Each heavy combat robot is equipped with a 7.62*51mm Vulcan cannon, a wrist-type small-caliber grenade launcher on its left arm, a large number of bullets in the alloy feed box on the back, and a miniature anti-tank and anti-aircraft missile on each arm and shoulder.
This kind of firepower and equipment is enough for a fully formed combat robot combat team to have the ability to suppress the American light infantry battalion with firepower in a short period of time, and even hit them by surprise.
Naturally, after weighing its combat capabilities, the base also believed that if it was used properly, it could not rule out the possibility of using one or two full squads to severely damage a noisy such cannon fodder Decepticon warriors.
Therefore, since the design of the fight, Base 2 has completely stopped continuing to manufacture the first generation of combat robots, and has begun to produce this kind of war machine in full force.
The second-generation combat robot is equipped with an anti-detection system, so the next moment it is scanned by Sun Cheng, it immediately enters a state of alert.
They quickly locked onto Sun Cheng, who was not far away, but they didn't aim their guns at him, because all the combat robots had already had his information burned into the deepest part of the processing system before they were created.
Therefore, Sun Cheng naturally has the highest control over all the robots manufactured at Base 2.
Waving his hand and sending away the patrol team, Sun Cheng was just about to go to the fourth nuclear reactor that had been put into operation in the distance.
Suddenly, a robot walked straight up to him, knelt down in front of him, and said respectfully.
“…… Hosts, if it's convenient, please come to the lab! I've made some discoveries about the ball. ”
This robot he knows, is one of the dozen doppelgangers specially designed and manufactured for him by the base's supercomputer 'Phantom', which can usually share part of his computing power and cooperate with him in various experiments and research.
"Got it!"
After answering, Sun Cheng quickly turned around and returned.
He knew what Phantom was studying, because the orb it had just mentioned was the one he had only recently gotten from the underground pyramid in the ruins of Tiahuanaco.
Originally, Sun Cheng was not at ease to hand over this thing to anyone to study.
But firstly, he did not have that much time and energy, and secondly, he also considered that the 'Phantom' was also a supercomputer produced in Cybertron, and the Sphere was the initiator of the main control computer on a Cybertron ship.
So he gave it to Phantom for the time being, wanting to see if it could discover or research something.
Looking at the reaction of the 'phantom' now, it seems that it has really discovered something.
Although he was concerned about the discovery of the 'Phantom', but this was his own territory, Sun Cheng could still calm down, and it took him about ten minutes to return to the 'Phantom' laboratory located in the depths of the underground cave.
"Squeak!"
The alloy door opened, and he stepped into the spacious lab, which was made entirely of special alloys.
This is a laboratory that has been specially isolated, and the spacious and huge space is full of all kinds of instruments and equipment that can be seen, and more than a dozen robots that are exactly the same as the one that called him here are operating in front of various instruments in the laboratory, all of which are doppelgangers made by Phantom for himself.
In the center of the laboratory, there was a transparent glass cover no less than three meters high, and under the glass cover, there was a metal ball familiar to Sun Cheng floating in the glass cover out of thin air.
When he entered, the ball in the glass cover was shining with the green light from a spray gun below, and some special lines began to appear on the surface.
It seemed that he noticed that Sun Cheng was coming, and the 'phantom' who was working did not take the initiative to speak, but a robot pressed it lightly in front of an instrument.
The next moment, the originally transparent glass cover seemed to be carved inside, and rows of small patterns that Sun Cheng couldn't understand but felt a little kind appeared.
"Patriarchal Text!"
ps:
I'm sorry for being delayed for two more days by my family's affairs, and I will make up for the first three days before the end of the month.
