Volume 3 The Underworld Chapter 73 Stealth Quest for the Enemy

The next reconnaissance mission was as expected, the local position was strictly guarded, not to mention the ghost stabbing armor, even mosquitoes could not fly in.

The combat method given by the standard video is to call the orbital strike, pull the defensive gap of the position, and then enter the speed mode and run in, and then run out.

Well, it's that simple, but the look in the video of being chased by the Biochemical Army is really embarrassing.

"Well, you have to pre-position the flight module, arrange the interception firepower, and match the table with the silent fleet, the great god is too crazy, as long as you stagger for half a second in this world, I am afraid that it will be shattered by the electromagnetic cannon!"

The pilot in the video finally relies on the pre-existing and silent hidden fleet to set the time and place of the strike, and uses the fierce fire net to escape the pursuit, while maintaining the same speed and carrying the flight backpack.

Finally, it converged with the air response unit, and directly the floor oil turned on and rushed out of the planet to escape and ascend to heaven.

As for the astral environment, magnetic field interference or something, I'm sorry, this is an enemy planet, and they can't control that much.

"Huh? So, on the surface of an enemy planet, is it a routine operation? The previous mission ended directly, but it didn't show this, write it down. ”

After repeatedly confirming the reconnaissance process of luring the enemy, rushing forward, and retreating, 12 began to be a little eager to try.

"To be honest, I'm a little obsessed with the feeling of the Ghost Thorn Armor running at high speed."

"Since it's a desperate attack, it seems that some more changes can be made."

After the completion of the first individual mission, the system has an adaptive modification option for the Ghost Thorn Warframe, which means that 12 Warframes can be modified with specific functions according to the needs of the combat mission.

"You only need to run fast in this battle, and the faster the better, so I'll take a look, um."

12. Start to choose the modification option of the Ghost Thorn Warframe based on the combat experience of the previous mission.

First of all, it must be to give up some unnecessary equipment, nuclear grenades are very useful to kill enemies, but this time it is not needed, so it can be removed.

The heat dissipation system needs to be strengthened to exchange the working life of the heat dissipation system for higher heat dissipation power;

Abandon emergency energy and carry two more sets of strong cold liquid, increasing the proportion of energy against armor while reducing the mass of the armor.

Keep only the supplies you need for the mission, and discard all the resources that you don't need.

In short, 12 All modifications are in preparation for extending the running time of Overload Mode and increasing the maximum speed of the Warframe.

Under the guidance of such an extreme purpose, in the end, the results that satisfied 12 were changed.

The overload mode was extended to 114 seconds, the power system was further squeezed to the limit, the output power was increased by 1.1 percentage points, and the drag coefficient of the armor was reduced by 0.7 percentage points.

For 12, the Ghost Thorn Warframe has undoubtedly been optimized countless times by the designer, and it is already good that he was able to sacrifice some of the security and reliability in exchange for this seemingly small improvement.

This also shows that the performance of the Ghost Thorn Warframe itself has been mined to the limit of material science, and what 12 does is nothing more than something similar to the Key Talent Tree.

If he could easily improve the performance of the warframe by even one-tenth through the so-called transformation of the Federation technology crystallization infrastructure such as the Ghost Thorn Warframe, he would not have to be a Warframe pilot.

I'm afraid that you can directly enter the Federal Academy of Sciences to study high-end technology.

As for the Warframe's extreme speed, since the training system does not have any so-called training mode, 12 can only be speculated based on the display of combat footage in the video.

It's a pity that the combat video is a bit picky, only the battle scene, and the specific data stream of the battle armor is not given.

"Judging from the speed of the battle armor in the video, the extreme mode acceleration will break through the sound barrier in 2.4 seconds, and the characteristics of the blasting air mass formed, well, the surface atmospheric concentration should not be high."

"Quest accepted! I'll go too! “

The scene changes, and a huge gray planet appears in front of 12's eyes.

At this time, 12 piloted the Ghost Thorn Armor, which was firmly fixed inside the starship, and soon approached the orbit of the combat planet.

"Huo, this fight is lively enough!"

The 12-class Void Sun-class small infiltration landing ship was approaching the edge of the battlefield at this time.

In the orbit of the planet ahead, the Federation fleet is fighting with the Biochemical Legion, and the atmosphere in that area has been destroyed by thousands of holes, forming various extreme weather conditions visible to the naked eye.

After communicating with the fleet and obtaining the designated landing route, the Void Sun class equipped with the Ghost Thorn Armor turned on the optical camouflage, turned off all active devices, and entered a state of communication silence.

"Estimated landing time: 14 minutes, please prepare for landing."

Subsequently, the Void Sun Class reached its intended entry orbit, and after a one-time deceleration of propulsion, began to slide towards the center of an oversized surface cyclone.

At the same time, the fleet used heavy firepower strikes to strike at the Biochemical Corps again, and deliberately cleared the enemy living forces at the Void Sun-class landing site in advance, creating a relatively safe environment for the infiltration of the Demon Thorn Warframe, so that 12 could complete the mission with the time lag of the support deployment of the biochemical beast herd on the ground.

At the same time,12 according to the system's battle plan, it was learned that there was also a silent fleet that took this opportunity to simultaneously infiltrate the planet's surface, and they were the fleet that attracted firepower for itself and created surprise opportunities.

"Current altitude: 13,647 meters, descending, expected deceleration altitude of 1,200 meters."

In this way, the Void Sun class used the method of entering the self-used falling body, using the giant cyclone with a very low concentration of air in the destroyed atmosphere and the strike beam cover of the fleet's firepower network, and quietly touched the surface of the planet.

"The first stage has been completed, the main fleet will be withdrawn in 7 minutes, and a devastating blow will be delivered to the current surface, please get out of the bombing area before the fleet strike and rush to the mission site."

Such a well-defended level 7 strategic planet has a tight planetary defense system, and the Federation fleet will not be able to land unless it opens the gap in the planetary defense circle in advance.

And the feint attack of the main fleet this time is to pull the defensive front of the biochemical legion and create an opportunity for special infiltration units like the Void Sun class to land.

Before retreating, it is necessary to use weapons of destruction to carry out large-scale destruction, completely disrupting the defense system of the Biochemical Legion.

The next tactic 12 has already been deduced based on his own experience.

A scout like himself enters the surface, roughly finds out the defense arrangement of the place, and then slips away.

After receiving the information, the large main fleet struck again, delivering precise and devastating strikes at high-value local targets, and then there was the ground landing operation that he was already familiar with.

"The deceleration has been reached! Throw the Warframe in 3 seconds! Delivered! ”

At the last 1,200 meters of altitude, the Void Sun-class infiltrator ship turned on its thrusters again to slow down at the tail end, and directly dropped the ghost thorn armor at a height of dozens of meters above the ground, and then immediately pulled it up and disappeared into the sky stealth.

This is to seize the vacuum of ground forces created by the space fleet, quickly find a place to hide, after all, it is also responsible for receiving the ghost assassin to return home.

The Biochemical Legion has the detection ability to detect any airborne unit, even a submersible ship with excellent camouflage camouflage ability like the Void Sun class, it will still be easily detected due to the thermal effect of the thrusters and air flow disturbances when flying, so it can quickly arrive at the receiving point by taking advantage of the enemy's weakest detection ability.

Next, it's time for the Ghost Thorn Warframe.

The first is to turn on the active terrain scanning device in the fast forward to map detailed surface information.

Since he is on a reconnaissance mission, he must collect every bit of information on this planet.

Therefore, in this relatively safe period, it is necessary to turn on the active detection function for intelligence gathering.

After a while, when it goes into a silent state, all that can be collected is a snapshot of the image, and there is still a gap between the accuracy and the active scanning.

The forward route chosen by 12 is also quite tricky, he does not take any route without concealment, and tries to reduce the time for the fuselage to be completely exposed.

"The current enemy appearance rate in the area has exceeded 63%, please enter stealth mode."

As the Ghost Thorn advanced, he had begun to break away from the safe zone bombed by the fleet, and the existence of underground passages was clearly detected, and the chance of a biochemical beast herd in the current area was very high.

As a result, the Warframe quickly switched to stealth mode, relying on the terrain, its own optical camouflage, and various means of absorbing waves.

Even if it is a biochemical legion, it is impossible to say that it controls every inch of land, and the same is that the sub-area is guarded by the corresponding patrol units.

Due to the large number of units of the Biochemical Corps rushing to the bombing zone to rebuild the defensive line, it is speculated that the density of enemy units in the current area should be reduced in 12.

Then he only needs to find a weak route between the monitoring areas and continue all the way to the west.

What he was looking for was the exact location of the exit from the large underground passage, a massive passage for the Cyborg Legion to enter and exit the surface.

As we progressed, the distant sky became gloomy, and a large amount of smoke-belching chimney-like organisms appeared on the surface.

These are actually enemy acid mist factories, which obscure the sky by constantly emitting large amounts of sulfur-containing compound gases, forming a space anti-peeping fog layer.

At a glance, I don't know how many such acid mist factories there are, which should be one of the reasons why the whole planet is gray and can't see the whole picture.

The safe zone was only resurfaced due to the bombardment of the fleet, and now, the Ghost Thorn Armor has entered the real combat environment.

At the same time,12 also noticed that the fungus blanket under his feet still became thicker, and after extending to the acid mist factory, the whole city was even larger, and the ground as far as the eye could see was covered by the fungus blanket.

Fortunately, this kind of large surface cover fungus blanket does not have the ability to detect, and itself is only a very simple variant fungus.

However, the Ghost Thorn Armor still had to be careful not to step on these fungus blankets, and he should not leave footprints, otherwise the volatile smell and footprints could still reveal his whereabouts.

As a result, the feet of the ghost thorn armor began to unfold the flexible material exterior to expand the contact area, so that the landing pressure of the armor was reduced to the bearing range of the fungus blanket.

At the same time, the advance speed of the battle armor was also further reduced, and at this time, 12 suddenly thought of the beast-shaped battle armor.

"Performing this kind of reconnaissance mission, it is really the action mode of the beast-shaped battle armor that has an advantage, and the mode with multiple feet and low center of gravity has many advantages compared to the mode of my humanoid high center."

"Not only is the exposed area smaller, the concealment is higher, and the ultimate speed should be much higher than that of the humanoid mecha."

"Maybe the problem is still in the mode of action of manually learning the beast-shaped battle armor, I really want to know what it is like for Instructor Hu Che to carry out such a reconnaissance mission."

Cautious ghostly armors are constantly stealth, trying to dodge a large number of enemy surveillance units.

Eventually, he found a location that matched all the characteristics of the mission's objectives.

It was a place with obvious fortifications, a very different appearance from the surrounding terrain, and it jumped out of the horizon and came into view.12

"So, is this it?"

"It's a good show, it's about to happen!"
