About fourteen hours later, the last rays of sunlight from the Serenity star vanished at the end of the horizon, and Na'vi ushered in the cold of the night, a deathly silence under the shining night sky, and the surface temperature outside the camp was about to reach more than minus 80 degrees.

In the command room of the reconnaissance company of the 1st Armored Brigade, Powell looked at the three Tang Fang opposite with an expressionless face, and pushed a fingernail-sized chip in front of them: "This is a detailed record of the details of this reconnaissance operation, and I know that you are at odds with those people in the second platoon." It just so happens that this mission should offset the confinement punishment. ”

Tang Fang put away the chip, didn't say much, and turned around and walked out of the command room with Aros and Haosen.

It took about ten minutes, and the three of them changed into power armor and followed the instructions in the chip to the hangar located in the corner of the camp. The mechanic in charge of vehicle maintenance drove a saber-toothed tiger A2 reconnaissance vehicle to Tang Fang's side: "This girl is a little shy, you must be gentle with it." ”

Seeing that the mechanic soldier seemed to be reluctant to marry his daughter, Tang Fang couldn't help but roll his eyes, pulled the car door and sat in the co-pilot, this saber-toothed tiger A2 reconnaissance car looked like it was a few years old, if it was a big girl, maybe even a cub had been born, and she should be returned. Mom is shy? Shy fart!

Ignoring the nagging of the mechanics, Aros stepped into the rear cabin, while Hausen sat on the main pilot, pushed the joystick forward, and the reconnaissance vehicle rushed out of the camp like a bull running wildly in estrus, "wooing", all the way to the dust, and after crushing countless gravel, disappeared in the southwest of the camp.

The Saber-toothed Tiger A2 reconnaissance vehicle is a modified saber-toothed Tiger anti-armored combat vehicle, which simplifies the body structure by removing the main gun above the body, hydraulic shock absorbing equipment and a series of shooting assistance systems, and adds a power amplifier, new off-road tires to increase speed and stability, so as to adapt to various combat environments.

In terms of concealment, the body skin is made of a special material that can absorb radar waves, which can avoid the detection of most small and medium-sized ground radars. In addition, the camouflage microcontrol system throughout the body can also use analog imaging technology to change the color of the skin, so that the reconnaissance vehicle can blend into the surrounding environment and achieve the effect of confusing the enemy.

The distance from the company's encampment to the target site is about 1,800 kilometers, and the overall road conditions are fairly flat except for the occasional crater caused by asteroid impact.

The electronic chip that recorded the content of this mission had been connected to the power armor's microcomputer by Tang Fang, and the UI interface of the helmet mask displayed various numbers related to the mission.

In the afternoon, a fixed-point orbital satellite directly above the base scanned some anomalies in the southern hemisphere, and the general staff of the division headquarters analyzed these numbers and speculated that there might be an action on the part of the Sulu Empire. In order to achieve early warning and early preparedness, this guess needed to be confirmed, so the task fell to the 1st Armored Brigade in charge of the frontal battlefield.

There are two reasons why human confirmation is required. Under the premise that the fleets of both sides were far away from the battlefield and could not meddle in inland warfare, the work of obtaining information must be done by the two belligerents alone.

Fixed-point orbit satellites are nothing new; with the development of science and technology to this day, the technology of using satellites for military reconnaissance has long been popularized, and a complete set of strict offensive and defensive systems have been formed.

The numbers obtained by satellites may be true, or they may be deliberately induced by the enemy, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish whether they are true or false. If an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is dispatched to investigate and confirm, due to the relationship between the mechanical structure and communication protocol of the UAV, once it enters the enemy's electronic identification zone, it is easy to be detected and intercepted, and even technically misleading. Therefore, taking into account all considerations, it is very necessary to send a reconnaissance unit to carry out artificial confirmation.

The mission goal of the three Tang Fang is actually very simple, to cross the Nami Star equator, go south along the western front, reach the S102 area marked on the navigation map, and use the marking instrument to record the deployment of enemy troops within five kilometers of the edge of the strong acid vapor area.

In the details related to the mission, a note about the strong acid vapor area caught Tang Fang's attention.

As an ancient planet exposed to a vacuum cosmic environment, there is no water on the surface of the earth, and according to the results of geological surveys, there is a large amount of liquid similar to a strong acid solution distributed in the crust of Na'vi, which has a strong corrosive effect, and can erode a one-centimeter-thick steel plate in just a few seconds.

Originally, this strong acid fluid was scattered in a special rock formation deep in the earth's crust, but for some unknown reason, the core of this ancient planet, which should have become lifeless due to the slowing down of the atomic nucleus reaction, is still breathing, and continues to intermittently radiate a very strange energy.

When this strange energy is out of the shackles of the earth's core for various reasons and sporadically escapes to the depths of the earth's crust, once it comes into contact with those strong acid fluids, it will undergo a violent exergonic reaction, thus breaking through the shackles of the rock formation, all the way up, to the surface, and spewing out a series of small acid solution springs, and because Na'vi has no atmosphere, and the springs carry huge kinetic energy, these acid solutions that come all the way to the surface will escape to outer space at a very fast speed once they erupt. A part of the peripheral acid solution will cool during the ejection process, forming a suspension like a suspension, which will be captured by the gravity of Na'vi, creating a very peculiar geographical landscape of strong acid vapor areas.

A large number of fountains of acid solution are combined to form a block of strong acid vapor on the surface of Na'vi, but fortunately, the influence range of these strong acid vapor areas is not too large, and the largest piece marked on the satellite scan image is only a few tens of kilometers in diameter, which does not have any impact on the warring parties.

After going through the data, he forwarded it to Aros and Hausen to look at it, and then frowned and thought carefully about the details of the action.

THE SABER-TOOTHED TIGER A2 RECONNAISSANCE VEHICLE, WHICH HAD A SPEED OF UP TO 210 KM/H, QUICKLY ADVANCED TO THE SOUTHWEST UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHT. After about six hours of driving, cross the equatorial line and enter the sphere of influence of the Sulu Empire.

Hausen slowed down and turned on the reconnaissance vehicle's camouflage paint and "stealth" effect, and the saber-toothed tiger transformed into a spotted cheetah shuttling through the jungle at night, silently approaching the S102 area.

There were no enemy soldiers patrolling along the way, and no enemy situation was detected as described in the mission. After another three hours, when the reconnaissance vehicle came to the periphery of the S102 area without any danger, the three jumped out of the car, hid the reconnaissance vehicle in the gap between the mouth of a valley, and went into battle lightly, sneaking towards the target location.

Just as the three of them were approaching the center point of Area S102 little by little under the cover of the craters crisscrossing the surface of the planet, in an early warning post less than 200 kilometers away, the second lieutenant of the Sulu Empire, Max Turner, who was wearing three oil paints on his forehead, was looking at a red dot on the electronic signal scan map and muttered to himself: "Sneak in and turn on the signal generator?" Even if you have the signal generator on, why do you still occupy our public address band? ”

"Bach, satellite positioning."

Before the words fell, a satellite image of the ground appeared on the screen of the central monitor, and three small black dots were moving rapidly in the crater with a radiation area of several hundred meters.

"Zoom in, zoom in."

With Max's order, the camera slowly zoomed in, and the three people wearing the power armor of the Monya Empire were completely exposed in front of everyone at the outpost.

"Should I say you're bold, or do you have a problem with your brains?" The young imperial lieutenant's eyebrows were twisted

"Send this picture to the battalion headquarters."
