Chapter 348: Electromagnetic Shield
A monstrous fire-bellied monitor lizard was half-crouched on the ground, and even then it was more than a man tall, and beneath its belly was a slow-flowing lava. The lava with a temperature of nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius not only did not destroy its limbs, but provided it with energy to endur.
This is a battlefield that is perfect for fire-bellied monitor lizards.
As far as the eye can see, dark red lava can be seen everywhere. Some of them flowed down the mountain pack, while others simply gushed out between the severely cracked formations. Although it is not as powerful as an eruption, the scene where the earth cracks everywhere and seems to collapse at any time is equally thrilling.
In a similar environment, the fire-bellied monitor lizard has taken out countless intruders, and its total volume can even fill in the crater behind it. Almost all of its prey is unable to resist the fire poison it spews and the devastating lava it controls.
But at this moment, it had not been able to inflict any fatal damage on the metal creature in front of it, and it had its tail and one forelimb severed, and most of its mobility had been lost.
The glow of lava and the gray sky are intertwined, but it is difficult to illuminate the specially treated armor coating, as if there is always a blurred dark field. This gray-black metal creature was only about twenty meters away from it, and it used to be able to pounce on it, but now it could only desperately accumulate strength, absorb the heat energy of lava with its special abdomen that has evolved from aberration, and then open its mouth wide......
"Buzz!"
The heavy alloy javelin carried the electric light, and it entered through the mouth of the fire-bellied monitor lizard, and then pierced a small half from its back, like a high-explosive ammunition exploded, the slurry burst wildly, and the scales flew sideways.
Immediately, blazing lightning erupted from the crack in the monitor lizard's mouth, eye sockets, wounds, and even the outer skin of the scale armor, and the body of the two-ton fire-bellied monitor lizard shrank in a blink of an eye. Its special body structure, which evolved from aberration, was also completely destroyed by this round of killing.
The heat of the lava finally showed itself at this moment, and a single breath swallowed up half of the monitor lizard's small body. However, in the flames of the monitor lizard's burning, there was still a blood-colored light.
Electromagnetic Striker No. 1 silently stepped forward, stepping on the flattened head of the fire-bellied monitor lizard and also stepping on the slow-flowing magma, towards the top of the mound.
The airframe, which is based on the non-commissioned officer X-2 model, does not have the ability to withstand lava for a long time. However, when the hot lava tried to devour the metal limbs, it was repelled by an invisible force and slowly bypassed.
In this way, Number 1 crossed the line of the fire-bellied monitor lizard and stepped onto the top of the erupting volcanic mound. Now, the volcanic area presented in the optical imaging system is already a real volcanic area.
Within a radius of several hundred square kilometers, dozens of craters, large and small, at least seventy or eighty percent of them emitted thick smoke, and there were even lava overflows. Dark red lines of fire crisscrossed the land, slicing the area to pieces.
After killing the fire-bellied monitor lizard, Ronan had actually accomplished the goal of the first stage. Although the "guardians" who retreated under the control of the Vulcan ants had gathered in the center and rebuilt their defenses, the vast majority of them would not be able to burrow into the ground, bathe in lava, and enter the more central areas due to their own conditions.
Number 1 does.
Under Ronan's control, the combat machine, protected by a powerful magnetic shield, stepped directly into the boiling lava pool below—only passing by, of course, and soon locked onto a gap in the inner wall of the volcano, blasting open a section of rock that had just condensed and piled up, revealing a narrow crack illuminated by the lava inside.
"The civil engineering in Moron is not bad."
What should be praised even more is that Ronan's delicate induction reconnaissance in recent days has been able to make maximum use of topographical factors to open up this "subway line" and bypass the congestion on the ground.
No. 1 was not the only passer-by in this narrow passage.
Beneath, the lava stretches farther into the chasm like a flowing stream. In the hissing and flowing lava, dense Vulcan ants lined up in a column, using the power of lava to speed up their swimming, and their speed was not much slower than that of a normal person.
Vulcan ants do not have a complete individual mind, but they have a strong sense of community. Ronan could feel the faint evil thoughts coming from the void, but this team of Vulcan ants, still under the high degree of discipline, ignored the damage caused by the combat machine's foot on the team, and continued to flow back to the core.
The ant colony queue here is not over, and in the dusty air, there is a "buzzing" sound, as if locusts are passing through.
In the rock gap on the side, a red blood cloud suddenly gushed out. It was hundreds of thousands of winged Vulcan ants, and they didn't have the ability to fly long distances, but they were still able to move forward at a faster speed in such narrow passages.
This speed was exactly the same as the advance speed of Number 1, and it was only natural that Number 1 was drowned in a cloud of blood.
In the narrow rock gap, lava and blood clouds stretched all the way forward, and in the middle, there was an irregular flickering of electric fire, which was a phenomenon formed by the electromagnetic shield repelling and killing the surrounding Vulcan ants.
The surrounding area is densely packed with flying ants, and there is also magma under their feet, that is, remote-controlled combat machinery, not themselves. Otherwise, Ronan really can't guarantee whether he can maintain a stable state of mind.
It is also a Vulcan ant, crawling in lava and flying in rock crevices, and there is still a big difference in body shape and body structure.
But in the volcanic area, this is not surprising. According to Ronan's reconnaissance in the past two days, within a radius of 200 kilometers, there are hundreds or thousands of anthills of Vulcan ants, which are widely distributed, and the direction of distortion and evolution is somewhat different inside each anthill, and because of the short life span of Vulcan ants and the speed of replacement is extremely fast, they can quickly form differences in a short period of time.
It's nothing short of a big lab for genetic variation.
The "branches" of this wilderness laboratory have their own range of activities, are very territorial, and sometimes even fight each other. But they all have the same origin, and they all belong to a "den of aberration". There is a direct subordinate relationship between the headquarters and the branches.
Now that the headquarters is in trouble, all the branches are coming back to help.
Ronan had only been observing for a few days, and he didn't know what the Vulcan ants would do when they got together.
But he didn't want to add any more variables to his plans, so he controlled No. 1 to speed up. In the blood cloud that filled the rock gap, the frequency of electric flashing was significantly increased, and a crackling continuous pop sound was also sounded, and the forward speed of No. 1 had been tripled, and the strength of the electromagnetic shield had also been increased accordingly, in case of underground "guardians" who could be killed at any time.
The "Electromagnetic Shield", a high-level technology that has not yet been realized by Earth technology, is the result of the reintegration of seed imprints colonized into combat machines. As a result, a strong electromagnetic field field with Electromagnetic Striker No. 1 as the fulcrum has been formed, which permeates the periphery and retracts freely.
This is the prototype of the transcendent realm that originated from the golden tung, and the fact that this effect can be achieved proves that the potential of the seed imprint has entered a new level. Under this stimulus, the corresponding information in the Bundle and Void Brain System was also activated, providing Ronan with more detailed and thoughtful application techniques.
Of course, the carriers of these application technologies are the kind of hieroglyphs that cannot be understood. It was also with the more wonderful word "I" that Ronan was able to stumble to decipher part of it.
The Bundle of Gods, the only trophy after killing Jin Tong, must have caused a lot of trouble to its former owner in the first place.
In this case, he can still break through to the transcendent realm, and I have to say that Jin Tong is really a genius.
The skill of the high section requires the consumption of the high stage. Two thousand kilometers away, in the underground laboratory of gears, Ronan adjusts his breathing in a simulated chamber to adapt to the increasing pressure.
At present, in the driving force of the electromagnetic striker 1, the energy and transmission system built into the airframe have taken a back seat. The main power source comes from the air interference of Ronan's soul power, just the electromagnetic shield, which consumes the amount of heaven, in addition to the natural loss of long-range interference.
With Ronan's soul power reserves, it is still relatively difficult. Fortunately, in the process of approaching the core area, wisps of wonderful energy were seeping from the depths of the void, and it was becoming clearer and stronger.
"Good, good!" Ronan sighed, this supplement, which was nothing compared to the overall consumption, but it was a very positive feedback.
There is no energy in the world that is water without a source, a tree without roots, and there must be a source and process of transformation. Ronan is well aware of the whole process, and his heart is more and more determined and excited.
The speed of No. 1 increased again, not only advancing towards the set goal, but also tracing the source of the energy transformation.
Ten kilometers or so further, No. 1 has replaced two fractured tunnels in the formation. One of them is because of the shortcut that the earthquake has just created. It was precisely because of this timely change that it was able to avoid the more frantic culling and interception of the defenders, and Rao was like this, and the left arm of One was finally burned and deformed by a strong horizontal distortion that could be lavaized, and a large piece of the armor on its chest was also lifted away, revealing the deformed components inside.
As for the narrow passage behind it, the burned ashes were already covered in a full layer, slowly rolling with the flowing lava.
At this time, there was a vertical gap of at least 90 meters between No. 1 and the surface, and the roars of the distortors were gone, but the violent stratigraphic turmoil caused by the volcano and the earthquake still filled the passage with noise, and finally formed a muddy rumbling sound.
Ronan left the task of analyzing ambient sound to a secondary computing system to circumvent the potentially devastating topographical changes. As for himself, his attention penetrated into the depths of the surrounding dark void, reaching into the abyssal zone.
There, a faint incantation sound, circling and continuing. It was the sound of music as the energy of the abyss region turbulent through a special structure.
As the output stabilized, the spell became clearer and louder, until it was like a majestic and even frenzied chorus:
"Blood, blood, blood!"
"Fire, fire, fire!"
It is in this chorus without beginning and end that the void and the material plane of the abyss region have set off violent and turbulent waves one after another.
