Chapter 460: Space Fighters
The forward base of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force has gradually been established in the ruined city, truly bringing the glory of mankind back to this desolate and lonely world, but I don't know who is praying so much.
Based on the analysis of the remains of the small robot collected earlier, scientists have determined that this is a mechanical life form, an alien creation like a Transformer, and not an artificial intelligence created by humans.
"I thought it was another intellectual crisis, but it turned out to be an alien invasion." Liu Peiqiang said.
If it is a mechanical creature from an alien planet, then it is no wonder that it is so unreasonable in the eyes of humans, but the simple and rough body is equipped with extremely advanced laser weapons, and I am afraid that there is some ulterior reason for it.
"I think they're designed to be easily destroyed."
Ding Yi, who had analyzed these mechanical lifeforms, said on the other side of the screen.
"What do you mean?"
Ding Yi explained: "To put it simply, these mechanical lifeforms are designed as tools of war, and they must be destroyed immediately after the end of the war, so except for the weapons they are equipped with, the craftsmanship of other parts is very crude, because they are disposable. ”
"So, there is an intelligent race behind these mechanical lifeforms, and they are the main culprits who caused the destruction of human civilization in this world?"
Liu Peiqiang reacted quickly, since mechanical lifeforms are tools, then there must be alien civilizations that use tools behind their backs.
If that's the case, they're in danger on this plane!
"On this point, I have to ask you to investigate further." Ding Yi replied.
Just as Liu Peiqiang and Ding Yi were discussing the discovery of the mechanical lifeform, the radar of the front-line base suddenly emitted a piercing siren, causing the personnel of the entire base to enter the first level of alert.
"What's going on?" Liu Peiqiang hurriedly asked Wang Lei from the headquarters.
"The unknown object has entered the atmosphere and is approaching at high speed, and it is suspected to be a space fighter from radar detection, so prepare for it anyway!"
As Wang Lei said, in this strange world full of dangers, we must be highly vigilant against any abnormal situation, not to mention fighter jets from outer space, which is obviously threatening.
"Sorry, Dr. Ding, please contact us if you find anything further."
"Well, you have to take care too."
Liu Peiqiang cut off the communication and walked out of the room, and at this time, the entire frontline base of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force was already in full formation, ready to meet the space fighters that might be coming over here.
It's just surprising that in the interface displayed by the radar, several space fighters that entered the atmosphere deviated from their direction soon after, and did not come directly to this side, it seemed to be just a false alarm.
"Where are they targeting?" Liu Peiqiang, who rushed to the command of the front line base, asked.
"Judging from the images from the satellite scan, it seems to be an abandoned factory nearby, but fortunately it is not coming for us."
Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, the frontline base of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force had just been established, and it was obviously not a good time to cause conflict, and they had not yet gained a firm foothold when they first arrived.
Liu Peiqiang looked at the several space fighters displayed by the radar, and asked suspiciously: "Is this also a mechanical life form?" It looks a little weird. ”
In fact, it is no wonder that he has such doubts, unlike the mechanical lifeforms he has encountered before, full of steampunk-style multi-riveting and steaming appearance, without any maintenance of rusty bodies.
These space fighters have a streamlined fuselage, a forward-swept wing structure consistent with human dynamics, and are clearly well-maintained, which is very different from the image of the mechanical lifeform wasteland scavengers encountered.
It looks like a completely human fighter formation, and even the formation makes Liu Peiqiang feel very familiar, at least it must be trained in accordance with the combat theory of the human air force.
Suddenly, a red laser beam went straight through the formation of this fighter formation, instantly destroying one of the space fighters and crashing into the distant sea.
This laser beam is clearly a masterpiece of mechanical lifeforms, similar to the laser cannons on the small mechanical lifeforms that preceded it. It's just that the power has been magnified dozens of times, and the range is probably at the level of space-based weapons.
"This team is coming for mechanical lifeforms!"
Liu Peiqiang made a judgment in an instant, maybe this side is the human resistance force in this world, which proves this from every indication.
It's just that judging from the laser beam just now, the mechanical lifeform also has quite a terrifying weapon, and it is not really as simple and rough as it seems.
At the same time, a large number of mechanical lifeforms took off to intercept the fighter formation on a flying device like an alien flying saucer, and the two sides launched a fierce air battle, which further confirmed Liu Peiqiang's view.
Although this fighter formation still did not fall behind in the fight against the large number of gathered mechanical lifeforms, the laser beams from the abandoned factory in the distance were constantly reducing its personnel.
Soon the entire formation was destroyed with only two space fighters, and it looked like it would soon be completely annihilated.
Wang Lei asked Liu Peiqiang: "What are we going to do?" ”
At present, it seems that this fighter formation is indeed engaged in the battle of mechanical lifeforms, and is about to be completely wiped out under the laser weapons of mechanical lifeforms.
If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next time they will appear, which is undoubtedly a rare opportunity.
"I took the investigation team to the abandoned factory to check on the situation, and if I could find the survivors, I brought them back, hoping that they were really human beings in this world. You're in the rear to prepare support, and it could turn into a large-scale operation. ”
It's hard to say whether this fighter formation is on the side of humans or not, but there is no doubt that mechanical lifeforms are the enemy. The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend, but you can definitely learn more about the world.
At this time, the two space fighters in the long-range radar even transformed into a Gundam-like mecha for air combat, unlike the Viking fighters in StarCraft who could only land after being transformed, this kind of airframe showed more superior air mobility and firepower.
This kind of technology is not even available on the Wandering Earth, and it can almost be said that it is the prototype of Gundam, which can maneuver in space.
Liu Peiqiang confirmed the value of having a look at the past, and could only hope that there were indeed survivors who could reach their destination!
