Chapter 52: Greed for Life and Fear of Death and Disease

In the cab of a small maglev base vehicle, a tense Wood holds a joystick to control the direction of the base vehicle.

Li Yi, who was sitting in the co-pilot on the side, was looking out of the car window in a daze at the moment.

As it gets late, the ground is gray outside, and the sky occasionally passes through a few rays of energy, briefly lighting up the night sky.

A huge figure more than ten meters tall walked briskly past the base car, and the occasional flickering light reflected its true appearance.

This is a silver-white solo mecha made entirely of alloy!

Contrary to what is imagined, the shape of the individual mecha is not entirely humanoid, at least not as obviously unreasonable as it was designed in the old space-time mecha novels.

Its head is not a vital part like the human brain, but a firing base, on which a two-link turret is installed, and some only have a single-barreled turret, even if the head is exploded, it is only missing a main gun weapon, and it has no fatal effect on the mecha itself.

The control nacelle where the mech soldier is located is not designed in the front, but in the back of the mech, including all the important core systems, which are basically designed and arranged in the back.

The front of the mecha is basically covered by thick armor plates, and its frontal physical defense is invincible, and ordinary artillery or magnetic railballs are ineffective against it.

As for the energy shield, not to mention, the infantry's energy gun does very little damage to it, and it is not possible to knock the shield out unless one hundred and eighty energy guns focus on it for more than 5 seconds.

The limbs are not much different from the human body structure, and they look very flexible, with some small energy cannons or small rockets installed on the shoulders, arms, and calves, and the front looks like a hedgehog, which is very powerful!

In addition, there are two club-shaped weapon handles diagonally inserted in the back, and when they are pulled out and unfolded during close combat, they are two carbon-ion alloy long knives, which are real killers, and they are very effective against rough and thick mechas!

Of course, the premise is that you don't get cut, otherwise you will end up torn apart like the fruit cut by the fruit ninja.

Although Li Yi has never driven a mecha, he has seen a lot of them since he came out of the new barracks.

Some of the literacy memory chips absorbed in the army also had a general introduction to the characteristics and performance of these mechas, so after paying attention for a while, Li Yi lost interest and turned his gaze to the side and rear of the base vehicle.

There is a maglev car, it should be said, an armored car......

The term armored vehicle also does not seem very suitable for an accurate description of it.

According to the terminology of the North Wharton military, it is a self-propelled individual energy pulse maglev cannon, which belongs to the armored class of military equipment.

This thing looks like an alien flying saucer described as godlike in the old space, and the size is about the same as a tank in the old space, but the horizontal cross-sectional area is slightly larger, and it can fly maglev at an altitude of 2 meters above the ground.

One person can drive a self-propelled maglev cannon, with two muzzles at the front, and it shoots out an energy pulse ball, which is extremely fast, and if the two gun ports are rotated to attack, an average half a second can shoot a basketball-sized energy pulse ball.

To put it bluntly, its turret is a two-link energy pulse fast cannon installed on the space fighter, which is nothing more than being reequipped on land now, and then installing a launch base that can be moved by maglev, it becomes a self-propelled maglev cannon.

There are two kinds of self-propelled maglev cannons, if you see only one flat barrel, then the energy cluster gun is installed on it, and what is shot out is not a pulse energy ball, but a beam of light, which has greater lethality, but a slow rate of fire, and it is not easy to aim.

Around the front and rear of the self-propelled maglev gun, there were also several tank-like armored vehicles, which were twice as large as the self-propelled cannon.

This armored tank does not have a maglev function, but according to its driving situation, it is obviously much lighter than the tanks of the old time and space, even if it encounters a steep slope of 90 degrees, it can climb up, and even if it rolls over and falls, it can quickly turn over.

Its artillery system is diverse, both can be installed energy cannons, can also be replaced with howitzers, railguns or missile launchers, the specific installation of what kind of turrets are actually needed, but mainly based on physical turrets.

In addition to these two types of individual armor, the armored force also has large fire armor, which is controlled by multiple people and is larger than the mecha, but as far as Li Yi can see, he does not see this thing nearby.

In addition to these mechanized combat units around, there are infantry soldiers who are guarding in twos and threes, in front and behind.

These soldiers are not treated as well as Li Yi, they are all fully armed and marching on foot, fortunately, the speed of the mechanical troops is not fast, and the soldiers' tactical boots also have a magnetic levitation booster function, so they will not fall behind.

The vast majority of the infantry did not set off with the army at this moment, but directly arrived at the forward stronghold through the personnel transfer station of the forward base, so at this moment, most of the infantry was actually waiting in front of the mechanized troops, and some units had even started operations.

Retracting his gaze, Li Yi began to stare at Wood with two eyes.

It wasn't until he stared at Wood that Li Yi said, "Xiaode, shouldn't we be too far forward later?" I think it's okay to park the base car behind the stronghold, and we're not those mechs outside, it's not safe to rush too far ahead! ”

Wood knew that Li Yi's greed for life and fear of death would happen again, but he didn't care.

Instead, he nodded and said, "Even if you want to rush to the front, I won't agree." As the company commander, my task is to place the base vehicles in suitable locations, and to be responsible for the protection and control of the base vehicles deployed. You can just follow me later, and if you encounter any danger, you can always go back through the base car's teleportation table. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi finally put his mind at ease.

Originally, he had planned to get a sniper team to go hunting, but when he saw the mechanized armor outside, his heart couldn't help but burst.

Since you can dispatch such a mechanized force, the enemy on the opposite side will definitely not be ambiguous, and if you encounter the enemy's self-propelled guns, mechas, or whatever, you don't know who will kill whom!

Therefore, self-preservation is still the wisest choice at present!

"Still,"

I only heard Wood say again: "The base car is actually more dangerous here, after all, it is a small base that can carry out personnel teleportation. Once discovered by the enemy, it will inevitably attract a large number of enemies to surround and suppress it. When the time comes, not only the infantry will come, but also the armored artillery and mecha on the ground, and the fighters in the sky will come......"

Li Yi was immediately dumbfounded, and even almost pushed the car door to escape.

Fortunately, at the moment when he was about to push the car door, he saw his own mecha and self-propelled cannon outside, which stopped the urge to escape.

At this time, Wood made another twist: "However, as long as the base car does not deploy in front, it will generally be fine." Even if it is discovered by the enemy, it will not be easy to defeat our base car. Anyway, this guy's energy shield value is not low, and there is a material conveyor station, personnel and equipment can be retrieved at any time, if the enemy dares to approach, it is impossible to defeat the base car without several times the number of troops. ”

"I said Xiaode, can you finish the words in one go?"

Li Yi wanted to cry without tears, and almost made a big fool.

After thinking about it, Li Yi asked, "Can any equipment be retrieved?" Can you get a man-made surface-to-air missile or something? ”

Wood said, "Of course! As long as it is a single weapon, it can be taken out and used at any time through the teleporter. It's not a single weapon that doesn't work, it's too large to equip a teleporter. Otherwise, the base car can be directly teleported to the forward base, so why bother to drive there. The same goes for those mechs, who can only be reached on foot from the forward base to the stronghold. ”

Li Yi nodded, stopped talking, and began to think to himself.

Stronghold battle?

Whoever loves to fight, who fights!

Anyway, my Lao Li is not going to be that hero!

He made up his mind, and for the next 30 days, he stayed next to the base car.

If you don't see the situation right, flash from the portal immediately!

If the situation is good, he doesn't recommend making some military merits by the way!

People, he would not dare to kill.

But when encountering mechas, fighters or something, although there is also a person sitting inside, there is no psychological burden to kill, and it is more important to save your life at that time, and when you encounter this kind of war machine with powerful firepower, it doesn't matter if there is anyone inside!

Since learning Level 4 "Shooting", Li Yi can be said to be proficient in all eighteen martial arts, although he is not proficient, but he also knows the best means to deal with those machines!

It's really urgent, what anti-mecha individual rockets, what ground-to-air individual automatic homing missiles, directly greet the enemy!

Anyway, there is a base car next to it, weapons and ammunition can be replenished at any time, and I don't lack those few dollars, so I can directly use the money to kill the other party under the protection of my life!

If you are rich, you are capricious!

However, relying on these alone, Li Yi felt that it was not enough insurance.

In case the base car is knocked out or damaged, and the teleportation function is lost, then it will be troublesome!

The key is that you can't teleport back directly, and the risk of returning on foot is too great, so you have to leave yourself an extra way back.

"Why don't you just buy a mecha and put it next to you...... But you have to learn the mecha operation skills first...... It's not a matter of a day or two......"

"Get a maglev self-propelled cannon? That thing shouldn't be that hard......"

Li Yi shook his head, feeling that whether it was a mecha or a self-propelled cannon, the movement speed was too slow, and it was not as fast as running by himself with "light skills", if the base car really couldn't be saved, even if there was a mecha next to it, it was estimated that it would be surrounded and annihilated by the group!

"If you don't get a fighter jet and run away......"

Li Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up!

That's right! Why didn't you think of it just now!

I'm also the king of scavenging who plays assault ships in space, and it's not a piece of cake to fly a fighter jet!

Li Yi is almost sure that in terms of the piloting level of the enemy's indigenous pilots, he is definitely not as high as him, if he was really awesome, he would have gone to the Space Force a long time ago, and he would still be a land pilot on the planet!

As for the air defense forces on land, as long as they do not hover over enemy strongholds, how can they posely a threat to themselves with those individual air defense weapons alone?

Thinking of this, Li Yi hurriedly checked the price and performance of various land aviation aircraft through the tactical helmet, and at the same time, his rigorous logical analysis ability began to awaken......
