Chapter 258: Temporarily Return to the Team
Storm Crimson slowly landed on the tarmac of the Planetary Engine Fortress, and several helicopter pilots were immediately detained and taken separately for questioning.
Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang returned to the team and ended their hidden mission in stages.
If warships are moving land, then planetary engines are a representative part of the wandering earth.
So in a sense, they're also going home.
After getting out of the Storm Crimson cockpit, Qiao Lu felt this deeply.
Standing on this mountain-like planetary engine will undoubtedly give you the feeling that you are wandering on the earth.
Since the height from the ground has reached nearly 10,000 meters at this time, the earth below has long been unable to see the details, and only a piece of blue light reflected by the planetary engine can be seen.
This is undoubtedly the most characteristic scene on the wandering earth.
The only things that can make people feel the discord are the unfinished corpses of the flying monsters that hit the planetary engines, and the large mech hunter Tempest Crimson on the tarmac.
At this time, Wang Lei, who had just finished the battle, also came to the tarmac to greet Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang, compared to the two who were just watching from the sidelines, he was much more tired at this time.
"You're back." Wang Lei took off the mask of the steel suit, came up and said to the two.
Liu Peiqiang also took off the helmet of the electronic combat suit, smiled and said: "Yes, I thought I could come back to help, but I didn't expect you to do it." ”
"We have manpower on our side, so you can take care of your own side first."
Wang Lei looked up and saw the claw marks left by the monster on the armor of the storm's red shoulder, and instantly understood that Qiao Lu and they had just returned from a big battle, and it was not as simple as going out to get a soy sauce and coming back.
Qiao Lu shrugged lightly and said, "Our side is almost done, all that remains is to obtain further information from the monster brains, as well as to recover their scrapped mecha hunters back for transformation, and finally to counterattack through wormholes." ”
"That's easy to say." Wang Lei said angrily, "You don't know how much preparation we have to make here." ”
Of course, the expeditionary force, as the main force of the attack, has to make countless preparations, especially according to the combat feedback received from this Hawaii war, adjust the combat readiness again, and further optimize the weapon configuration of the planetary engine fortress, which alone is enough for them to be busy.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Lu patted Wang Lei's shoulder and said, in comparison, his work is indeed easier.
"Anyway, come in first, General Zhang is already waiting."
After shuddering with Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang, Wang Lei took the two to the planetary engine command room, and it was better to let Qiao Lu and Zhang Zhezhong discuss the follow-up further actions.
Although the battle was over, the command room was still tense and busy. Especially Zhang Zhezhong, as the commander-in-chief, was explaining something to his subordinates with a serious face.
"General Zhang, how's the situation going?" Qiao Lu stepped forward and asked.
"Welcome back, Jolu." Zhang Zhezhong said a simple hello and began to explain to Qiao Lu:
"Although the losses suffered by our army in this battle were not large, I have to say that we underestimated the combat effectiveness of these monsters a little too much at the beginning."
"They not only have a huge size and strong flesh, but also special biological abilities such as electromagnetic pulse, acid attack, and spine strafing, which can exert a combat effectiveness that is no less than that of modern armies after tactical coordination, which makes us suffer a little bit."
At this time, there were still several places on the planetary engine that had been bombarded by acid shells, as well as dozens of spines embedded deep in the engine shell.
These are the masterpieces left behind by this group of monsters, and although they are hardly a threat to the planetary engine itself, they have caused a small number of casualties to the expeditionary force soldiers stationed inside the planetary engine.
For the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force, this situation is very much in need of introspection.
Sure enough, in the case of insufficient intelligence, it is very dangerous to fight an alien civilization, after all, it is impossible to confirm what kind of hole cards the other party has hidden.
"This was an oversight on the part of the Mission." Liu Peiqiang solemnly apologized to Zhang Zhezhong, "If we find out the abilities of these monsters as soon as possible, today's casualties can be completely avoided." ”
Zhang Zhezhong waved his hand and said: "I can't blame you, the fourth-level monsters only started to appear on this planet not long ago, even if you want to check, there are not enough clues." ”
"But now we have." Qiao Lu suddenly spoke.
"Dr. Newton in the Shattered Dome base has found a way to synesthesize with the monster brains, and now he should be in the process of neuroesthesia connection with the level 5 monster heads I captured in the Battle of Hong Kong, and we will be able to get more information about the abilities of these monsters when this is done."
"If that's the case, that's a big help."
Zhang Zhezhong looked at the biological laboratory on the side and said to Qiao Lu:
"We're ready to send a team of biological weapons to explore through the wormhole, and Dr. Grace has prepared a tyrant body for you to operate. Qiao Lu, since you are back, are you interested in personally manipulating the tyrant to enter the wormhole to investigate? ”
"Of course." Qiao Lu said categorically.
The biological weapon technology that has been mentioned before can finally come in handy.
Implant these monster genes into the tyrant's body, and then these biological weapons belonging to the wandering earth can also escape the genetic scan of the pioneer civilization and enter the wormhole for investigation.
The way to control these tyrants, or the spirit transfer technology obtained from the world of Avatar, is almost equivalent to just controlling a drone, which can be said to be the least risky way to investigate.
Unless the pioneer civilization also has a telepathy-like technology, it will hardly do any harm to these tyrant operators.
What's more, if you really want to fight for telepathic ability, there are also mind gems taken from the Marvel Universe on the Wandering Earth.
"That's right, Mind Gem." Qiao Lu suddenly thought of this, "To be on the safe side, let's also prepare the Soul Gem first, maybe it will come in handy this time." ”
Since the Space Gem can be used with the energy provided by the planetary engine, it is estimated that the Mind Gem can also play a role.
In that case, you might as well prepare the Mind Gem first and see if it can play a role in this contest with the pioneer civilization.
