Volume 1 Red Flame Beacon Chapter 7 Thunder-breaking Countermeasures
"I'm Boron Aga, the leader of the 3rd Heavy Machinery Squad, and I'm here on order." The Saipan at the head saluted the captain.
The captain immediately replied: "Sit down, let you come mainly to talk about laser mines, this time the heavy mecha troops have suffered large losses, and our marines empathize, and we especially want to understand the situation at that time, and whether there was any abnormality when they were attacked, so as to find a way to solve these damn laser mines." ”
Speaking of losses, Boron Ga exhaled sharply a few times, and it took a while to calm down.
"At that time, it was normal, we were attacking the enemy's position, and suddenly a lot of lasers were fired from the cliffs and the ground, and each of them hit more than a dozen spokes, and the few had seven or eight spokes, and many of them were destroyed after not holding out for long." The squad leader looked sad.
"Those damn earthlings, oh! Rebels, tomorrow they will have to taste the true power of Thor. The team leader was quite clever, knowing that the people sitting there were basically earthlings, so he hurriedly changed his name.
"Doesn't the Hilometer show anything?"
"No, if there is, we won't put the shield in a passive state but just fill the shield."
"Could this laser mine be remotely controlled specifically for heavy mechas?" Someone chimed in.
"No, if you attack remotely, Thor will be locked on to the enemy's observation device for a long time, but Thor's warning device has not reflected anything." Boron said affirmatively.
"The laser thunder should have been turned off before, and then it was activated after receiving the finger, otherwise no matter how small the energy is, it is impossible not to find it with Thor's energy wave instrument for a long time at such a close distance." One person spoke out loud, everyone nodded, and Boron Gaga agreed.
"Why only attack Thor? The team members and mechs were not attacked! "Someone repeats the question just now.
I also kept thinking about this question, and suddenly thought of a detail and asked: "I remember that one plane was not attacked, I wonder what was the condition of this Thor at that time?" How does it compare to other Thors? ”
"It's no different! It's all the same format. Boron muttered.
"Report, I commanded this plane." A Saiban man stood up excitedly, "At that time, there was something wrong with our quantum cannon and it couldn't be fired, is it the reason for the quantum cannon?" ”
I woke up suddenly and received: "This laser mine should be specifically aimed at large mechas, it detects the energy fluctuations of the mecha through passive, and when the energy fluctuations exceed a certain upper limit, it will be fired." As soon as the Quantum Cannon fires, it exceeds its upper limit and becomes its target, which explains why the team members and mechs are not attacked at all. ”
"That's right! Right! Reasonable. Everyone looked at each other with appreciation.
"But how can this thunder be swept away? You can't let Thor open a quantum cannon to resist with a full shield! ”
"Of course it can't be like this, if what Captain Su said is true, as long as we can create an energy source equivalent to the energy fluctuation of the quantum cannon." Tom said that by saying that, he actually approved of my idea. He said to Mbo: "Then let a few three-plane planes bring more explosives to self-detonate, my squad mechs are more damaged, let your squad mechs be on them." ”
"Okay!" After taking on the headset and giving the order, Mbo took off the headset and said, "I have sent three mechs, wait to see the results, and we will continue to discuss other issues." ”
I sighed, sighing for the poor mech. Everyone moved on to other issues, and the room suddenly resounded with the voices of humans and Saipan. Two different humans seem to want to try their voices louder and louder.
After about a dozen minutes, a staff officer-like man walked in, walked directly to Tom's side, and whispered a few words. The conference room fell silent for a moment, and Tom smiled bitterly at Mbo and said to us: "My captains, we have lost three more mechs in vain, and the laser mine has not moved at all, and the test has failed. ”
"Let's think about whether there are any other ways to cause the laser mine to start."
Everyone looked at each other, and from time to time the slightly larger human eyes met the small eyes of the Saipan. Boron Quack stood up suddenly, and his voice was extremely loud: "Empty death to be reached (1), bring more energy tomorrow!" ”
Tom waved his hand and motioned for Boron to sit down: "Energy consumption is not a solution, everyone thinks that the detail is wrong, so that the laser mine does not start." ”
"Thor, mecha, laser thunder." I kept thinking in my heart, and suddenly thought of a question: "Captain, could it be a matter of time, if the mecha self-detonates with explosives, the energy fluctuation should be equivalent to the quantum cannon, but the time is not right!" Thor is a continuous process when shooting, but if the mecha self-detonates, its time is very short, and such a short time should not be able to induce laser lightning to fire. ”
Listen to me say this, and some people agree. Hans looked at me and said supportively: "It should be this problem, everyone think about it, the mecha exploded and disappeared as a target, and what else do you want the laser mine to hit." ”
"yes, what's the fight when everything is gone!"
Captain Mbo looked at me with a slight smile; "What you say makes sense, is there any way to solve it?"
I thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult, if you want time to last, first of all, the mecha itself can't be damaged immediately." We should be able to make some one-way explosive devices attached to mechs. As for one-way explosive devices, as long as the explosives are packed in a sturdy box, one side is used as a form of discharge, and the box is hung on the mecha. Also, use damaged mechs, as long as they can walk, don't use those that are intact. ”
Mbo and Tom both nodded, and Tom said, "You think very thoughtfully, not bad." ”
Then he patted Mbo again: "You have a good subordinate." ”
"He's a good subordinate to us." Mbo laughed, and the two of them laughed in unison.
Mbo looked at everyone and continued: "Then I'll try a few first, if it succeeds in mass production tomorrow, I believe it will be done." Let's talk about the specific combat plan, as you all know from the commanders, the command has asked us to hit the rebel headquarters within three days and destroy the enemy within a week. ”
"yes, tune in a little more!"
"Let the fleet bombard it with photons."
"Let the drones cover us in a loop, don't come in a large group, and leave without a single one." People complained.
"Captain, do you have any other tasks besides destroying the enemy this time? I always felt like something was wrong. Hans asked. I was stunned, I hadn't thought about this question, could there be anything else? Everyone looked at the two captains together, and it seemed that there were not a few people who had the same doubts as me.
The two captains looked at each other and smiled, but Tom said: "It's a bit of a thing, but I can't tell you the details yet, everyone just needs to destroy the enemy at present." ”
"Ahh What a problem! Everyone muttered to each other and the people next to them, all of them looking confused.
"Well, it's not that I don't want to tell you, that's what the command meant. The superiors think that it is not yet time, and they will tell everyone when the time comes, and everyone should not think too much, just carry out the order, understand no. ”
"Understood."
"Captain, did the fleet bring chariots over this time, in fact, I don't think the rebels can enter this tunnel. In fact, smaller tanks can be entered, we don't have heavy machines, and we can basically only fight mecha in the tunnel, and the loss is relatively large! Someone asked.
"This Captain Tom has asked the headquarters, this time it's only Thor and our Marines, and we want a tank unless we start building it now." Mbo said helplessly, "Fortunately, the number of enemy troops should not be large, otherwise there would be no need to fight this battle." ”
"Why can't we attack the rebel headquarters directly! There's no need to fight all the way through, maybe the mission of defeating the enemy's headquarters will be completed. I couldn't help but say. Immediately, the audience was safe, and everyone looked at me like a monster.
Tom and Mbo both stood up and looked at the 3D map, and Mbo said, "It's okay to see just from the terrain, but in addition to asking us to complete the mission, we also want us to destroy all the rebels, and this prominent cliff will have to be fought sooner or later." ”
"But no, we have so many mechs and team members in the tunnel, we can't let every rebel go." Someone yelled in a very angry voice.
"That's it, I don't believe that the cliff can't be attacked, and we have to avenge the team."
"We Saipan must kill the rats in that tunnel, and if you humans don't go, we will use the quantum cannon to slowly attack it." Boron said with a huff. For a while, I became the target of public criticism, and I was thrown into outer space. Only a very small number of people believe that it is a good idea to do so in the current situation of insufficient resources.
At that moment, an adjutant ran in and whispered a few words to Mbo. Mbo turned his head and said solemnly: "Okay, let's stop fighting, the headquarters requires us to take this cliff, and if necessary, it will give us additional troops, let's go back and have a good rest, and now the meeting is dismissed!" ”
I went back to my "white house" to rest, took off my flexible gloves, and freed myself from the whole mech. I took a look at this ironclad guy who had been with me for a long time, and carefully checked it to see the integrity of the overall control program, the sensitivity of the muscle sensing system, the flexibility of the mechanical legs, whether the starting condition of the 40 small howitzer on the left shoulder was intact, and how the AT missile on the right side was ready to fire. Originally, I could have called a mech to do it for mech, but I still like to check it myself.
I lay on the marching bed, tired but unable to sleep, and the night was long, and I did not know what the battle would be tomorrow.
Note (1) Saipan, meaning damned.
