Chapter 46: Landing
PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
Torres, a small liberation group, has finally made it to Earth's low orbit after a month of difficult planning and fundraising on Mars and a month of drifting in space.
The liberation operation is about to begin, and the twelve people on board have no conversation, and any word could be a reason for the arrest of the Earth's overseers.
Ten of the twelve personnel will be involved in the next liberation operation, while the remaining two engineers are putting the finishing touches on weapons and tools.
Compared with ancient live-ammunition weapons, the electromagnetic auxiliary guns have smaller ammunition while maintaining lethality, and the total weight of 200 assault ammunition is only 1,500 grams. Compared with the all-electromagnetic gun, the energy requirement of the electromagnetic auxiliary force is very low, and it can be charged by relying on the micro-power generator carried by a single soldier, and the possibility of long-term combat can be obtained.
However, it was chosen not because of how good it was to use, but because of the restrictions on the entry and exit of various materials in the port, and it was only possible to obtain all the originals on board and complete the manual construction of a lethal weapon.
After the weapons were built, the two engineers have been tirelessly checking and concocting them, striving to get their comrades to use the most reliable guys in the operation.
"Di-di-di-di" suddenly sounded a steady buzz on the ship.
Hearing the voice, the team members gathered at the back of the cockpit looked at each other, and the bearded and scumbag-faced man at the head nodded and made a gesture, and everyone walked to the back cabin quickly or slowly to start changing equipment.
In less than five minutes, all ten men were gathered in a barrel on the lower level of the aft cabin, all wearing combat suits and filter masks, and weapons and supplies were fixed to the ground in the middle in metal boxes.
"Personnel are detected in place, and the lockdown hatch is about to start pressurization."
If you do not pressurize, the deployment module will undergo heating and pressurization at the same time, and when the temperature is high, the strength cannot be guaranteed, and the people inside will be automatically flattened.
When the pressure gauge of the deployment module stopped, and the sound of mechanical vibration came from outside the cabin, everyone in the cabin seemed to breathe, which was the sound of the control device completely detached from the deployment module, and now the ship only relied on a simple mechanical mechanism to hold the deployment module in place.
"Anton, are you okay?"
Finally, someone spoke through the mask, and the subject of the inquiry was separated by two people, and his hands seemed to tremble a little.
The questionee shook his head and said, "I...... No...... No...... I don't know. ”
What they are about to face may be a whole mechanical empire, or it may be just a broken machine without any protection, after the suppression in the early stage, Anton, who is about to face the final action, is already a little unable to distinguish his emotions at this time, and only feels that his head is blank.
The teammate closest to Anton was also immobilized, but he still barely raised his forearm and patted his leg as a silent comfort.
"It's normal to worry and be scared, believe in yourself and you will be able to overcome it, maybe taking a deep breath can help you." The voice came from the captain with the beard.
"Hmm."
Everyone was quiet again, and all they heard on the intercom was the sound of deep breathing, and it was obvious that Anton was not the only one who was overly nervous, but everyone disguised it a little better.
Compared to the rest of the Fifteenth City on Mars, the ten people who participated in the action group were already the best choice, all of them had immigrated to the Fifteenth City within three years, most of them were players who had fought in the Second World, and even two of them were awakened from Earth!
Empirically, there is no armed infighting between human beings, and even soldier training is physical training to assist internal training in the second world, and there should be no one with actual combat ability to find anyone in addition to street fighting. Two years ago was the era of the twin legends of the second world, and the second half of it happened to be very focused on small team battles, and the short interval was not too long for all the team members to remember the situation in the battle clearly, and after a period of intensive training on the way to Earth, there was no problem in terms of physical fitness.
Intelligence-wise, the team with the Awakened is well aware of the Earth's management system, and the terrain of the three dormant cities is easy to remember, which is a guarantee for them to reach their goal in the shortest possible time.
Soon, the most elite civil liberation group on Mars, along with the arrangement capsule they carried, was thrown out of the ship.
The arrangement of the cabins, which are close to an inverted trapezoidal shape in the side section, streaked across the dusk and disappeared into the afterglow of the sunset.
Ten minutes passed, and a red dot suddenly appeared in the upper part of the atmosphere, which gradually brightened on the way down rapidly.
This is the result of the friction between the outer wall of the cabin and the atmosphere, the outer wall is quickly heated to more than 2,000 degrees, at this temperature, part of the outer wall begins to melt, and the direction of the cabin to the ground is surrounded by a defective structure.
By the time it broke through the atmosphere and reached a distance of ten kilometers above the ground, the red color of the outer walls of the cabin had faded and slowed down to a speed of only two hundred and twenty meters per second.
The speed of the existing structure of the arrangement module in the atmosphere is close to the equilibrium point, the roof of the cabin rises a few centimeters, and the round cover is divided into several lobes and expands outward, which further reduces the speed of the arrangement module to 120 meters per second during the fall period of two or three thousand meters.
Seven kilometers from the ground, activate the No. 1 small umbrella, the role of the small umbrella is equivalent to the split structure on the top of the arrangement cabin, and it is still used for slow deceleration, after all, the human body can not withstand the sudden braking of 120 meters per second.
Two thousand meters, with a falling speed of 60 meters per second, it was finally time for the parachute to open.
As a violent cushioning ended, the sound of the arrangement cabin was heard again.
"Preparations for landing are complete, the target area will be touched within 100 seconds, and the detection will show that the landing point will be on the water."
"Ready to act!"
At this time, the acceleration in the arrangement cabin can already allow people to carry out some actions, and after receiving the order to prepare, everyone unties, leaving only the two seat belts on their waists to connect to the bulkhead, open the middle box and start to check weapons and supplies.
By the time the cabin touched the water, the ten people in the cabin were fully armed.
The hatch opened, but there was no water inside, and the lower edge of the hatch was still twenty centimeters above the water.
The captain didn't move, and everyone froze - a bright light came through the hatch!
They were caught.
Before the operation, they made a variety of plans, according to the information revealed by the former awakened in the team, there are no water weapons on the earth, and landing in the inner lake between the three dormant cities can avoid the robot guards to the greatest extent, and at the same time, landing on the water can also avoid the possible danger of civilian products breaking through the atmosphere. Choosing a lake in the dark of night is more likely to avoid both thermal and optical searches.
But no matter how this plan looks, it is an indisputable fact that there is a light source less than fifty meters outside the cabin.
"Please stay in the cabin and wait for the decision of the management committee, I guess this is the best option for everyone." A man's voice came from outside.
"Human, like?" Someone in the cabin whispered to his companion.
Machines don't use the word "guess" very well, especially in the current situation, where there is no positive and negative side of the task.
The answer is unknown to anyone.
The captain at the door threw a ball out of the door, and after the ball fell into the water, a small ball-shaped structure popped up, and the outside image was enhanced by a shimmer of light, and transmitted back to the lens on the filter mask of the cabin personnel.
It was a humanoid machine about two meters tall, with many geometric shapes and a bit of thick proportions, and the strange thing was that the machine did not sink with its feet on the water.
"It's an armed warrior!" Someone recognized the machine outside.
The Armed Warrior, an anti-materiel individual power armor still in service, is said to be able to block atmospheric shots from 10 mm caliber electromagnetic cannons, and the weapons can be arbitrarily selected from electromagnetic machine guns, vehicle-mounted electromagnetic cannons, four-by-two individual rockets, and close-in cover salt spray shells.
Although the picture transmitted back from the ball shows that the opponent is not carrying the above-mentioned weapons, the ancient weapons in the hands of the liberation team cannot even break the defense in the face of armed soldiers, and the odds of victory seem to be infinitely close to zero.
"Are you a human or a machine?" The captain gestured inwardly and shouted outwards from the side of the hatch.
"Man, if you're not going to lay down your arms, you can use me like a machine, because I won't allow you to approach Dormant City with your weapons."
The sound outside directly cut off the possibility of their set, but it was not enough for the team that came to liberate the earthlings.
"Since you are a human being, do you not feel sorry for your fellow man? We're here to help them. ”
"I can feel it, but that's not something you can do, just wait for the ship to take you back to Mars."
Accompanied by the sound, the light of the hatch shook a few times, as if the other party was shaking his head slightly, and robots with detailed movements should be forbidden to be made.
The other party's statement that he is human seems to be more authentic, but the tone seems to be too cold.
"You don't trust your fellow human beings so much! Human beings have their own hands and feet, and now the earth's environment can support the growth of improved crops, all they need is freedom! "If you shoot back, you are polite and courteous, and the volume is as loud as possible, and you have a lot of confidence.
"More than freedom, you need more ......," the voice paused, as if thinking of something, and turned back to the previous topic as it continued, "Again, lay down your arms, and after that you will have the right to know more about the truth." ”
"We are here to liberate our fellow earthmen, and even if something happens, I believe that history will have a fair evaluation in the future." The captain also paused, and turned to say in a louder voice, "And you! Help the machine to continue to imprison humanity and will surely become the sinner of history! ”
shouted impassioned words, but the other party did not continue to respond for a while.
But at this time, the bearded scumbag captain of the action team already had little hope of convincing the other party, because every word that came from outside did not fluctuate in mood and tone, and even colder than the robot!
Sure enough, just as the captain stretched out three fingers to gesture to his teammates in the cabin, another warning came from outside.
"I guess you're not going to lay down your arms anyway, and we'll have to do it first for the sake of power."
"Wait!"
If it's just because of the power issue......
