Chapter 142: The Treasure of Flame (I)

"It's the saber-toothed mercenary captain Saxon. ~”

Deep in the forest, Robin saw dozens of mutilated corpses, and when they did, Robin recognized one of them as Saxon, the leader of the saber-toothed mercenary army, and most of the rest were a few elite forces of the saber-toothed mercenary.

Among the famous mercenaries in Proxima Centauri, the saber-toothed tiger mercenaries are not very strong, but they are definitely not weak. In particular, dozens of core members with regiment commander Saxon as the mercenary, before the mercenary army was formed, Saxon and other core members belonged to the infantry special operations battalion sequence of a certain 6th Army division of the Federation. Although it is not as good as Reinhardt, who once served as a knight servant of the Knights of the Twin Stars, he is also the representative of the mercenaries who are best at 6 battles. And this time, the Saxons, who made a lot of money during the pirate turmoil in the Northern Star Field, took the opportunity to expand their ranks on a large scale and led a battalion of troops into battle, trying to become famous with the defense of the planet Wendini. But he didn't expect that after less than fifty hours on the 6th, he was abandoned and died in the wilderness.

"It seems that the saber-toothed tiger mercenaries are completely finished, all the elites have been handed over here, and I'm afraid that no one will survive the remaining miscellaneous soldiers." Robin sighed as he looked around.

"The wounds were all caused by sharp objects, and the bullet marks on the surrounding trees should have come from the counterattack of these saber-toothed tiger mercenaries, but it seems that they did not kill any of their targets." Zhuo Luo flipped through several corpses and came to a conclusion.

"That's right, there is no trace of hand-to-hand combat here, indicating that these people were all fatal with one blow after being approached by Emperor **. If you look at it this way......" Robin raised his head worriedly: "The Emperor ** combat team hired by the Sabertooth Tiger is probably generally above the fifth order, and they are extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat. ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that" Li pointed to a Patriot Type 2 armor with a big hole in his chest: "The Emperor ** should also be equipped with Type 3 armor." ~ If the opponent is also using Type 2 armor, it is impossible to have such amazing penetration, and the traces left around can also confirm that the armor equipped by Emperor ** is close to Type 3 armor, and the weight is not as heavy as Type 2 armor. ”

"yes, it's worse than we thought." Robin nodded in agreement with Lee.

"It's not a wound that a tactical knife or a short knife can leave behind." Suddenly, Zhuo Luo pulled out his short knife and drew it on the corpse, and said to himself in confusion, "What kind of weapon are they using?" ”

Being mentioned by Zhuo Luo like this, Robin also immediately noticed the abnormality of the corpse.

Robin and Zolo are both melee masters, so they know very well that the standard equipment of Type 3 armor is tactical knives, short knives, short swords, and three-edged stabs, and it is impossible to leave such a huge wound. The corpses at the moment are basically remnants, and they were obviously cut off by some kind of sharp weapon. However, it is impossible to achieve such an effect with the length of a tactical knife, and in addition, it has left an astonishing depth of cut marks on some tree trunks, which are obviously the traces inadvertently left by the emperor ** when cutting off the mercenary's body.

So if you infer from this, the weapons used by the emperor ** soldiers cannot be short weapons such as tactical knives and triangular military stabs commonly used by the 6th Army of the Republic and the 6th Army of the Federation, but long weapons with a length of more than one meter and a half, or even about two meters.

Measured from the perspective of cold weapon melee combat, long weapons are far superior to dagger-like short weapons in terms of strength and destructive power, and the Republic and Union armies have also tried to change to long weapons many times when equipping hoplites with melee weapons. However, melee weapons used in the new era generally rely on the high-frequency shock wave on the weapon to kill, with the cutting force of the high-frequency shock wave, if the weapons collide, while cutting off the opponent's blade, your own blade will also be easily cut off by the high-frequency shock wave carried by the opponent's blade. ~ Therefore, the new era of infantry fighting requires that the blade touch be avoided as much as possible, so as not to lose melee weapons during the battle.

When it comes to avoiding blade contact, short weapons such as tactical knives are clearly better suited to this requirement than long ones. After all, with the swing range of a long weapon, no matter how good the user's skill is, it is inevitable that the blade will be touched, so the damage of the blade is almost inevitable. And considering that hoplites often need to be on long-distance missions, the portability of melee weapons is also a very important consideration, at least Robin has a hard time imagining how to carry a nearly two-meter-long knife or sword while carrying a large number of guns and ammunition during long-distance travel.

"It seems that the Emperor's weapon is also made of McCeni metal, I really can't think of any metal that can withstand the strong cutting force of high-frequency shock waves......" Robin guessed with his frown, touching the smooth cut marks on the Patriot 2 armored breastplate with his hand.

"Crafting a standard blade out of Mycenae metal?" Lee's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe it.

"Isn't it impossible...... Mycenae metal is extinct in the solar system and rare in the Federation, but this does not mean that other galaxies are so scarce. Booker once told me that the McCenae metal is not so much a metal as a living organism, a microorganism that feeds on metallic elements. This unique microorganism is suitable for thriving at high temperatures, and only when the temperature drops below 4oo degrees Celsius will it crystallize to form crystals like pyrite. Speaking of this, Robin stomped on the ground under his feet: "This planet Wendini is so huge, and the history of biological reproduction can be traced back hundreds of millions of years. Why, then, is it impossible to find any mineral deposits on such a large planet? Don't you think that's a little weird? ”

"McCeni here?" Zhuo Luo understood what Robin meant, and his eyes suddenly became hot.

"It's very likely...... Robin nodded, "This planet is a volcanic planet, and the thickness of the earth's crust and mantle is too thin compared to the volume of the planet." Federal geologists believe that the Earth's crust is too thin to be responsible for the lack of veins on the planet Wendini, but I think they are missing a key element. ”

"What are the key elements?"

"The history of this planet" Robin pointed to the moon-sized white dwarf planet Barnard above his head, "Judging from the fact that Barnard has evolved into a white dwarf, I am afraid that Planet Wendini is ten thousand times older than Earth. So take this as a hypothesis to imagine, if hundreds of millions of years ago, the planet Wendini has already bred a unique microorganism such as Mycenae metal, after hundreds of millions of years of reproduction, Mycenae metal may have multiplied an extremely terrifying number, and in this process, how much metal should it devour? ”

"It ate the crust of the planet?" Lee asked tentatively.

"Yes, it eats most of the metal minerals on the planet. In addition, Booker once said that matini metal is an active and migratory microbial community. Therefore, if this huge microbial community inhabits the lava flowing underground, it can borrow the lava as a carrier, and it has amazing mobility and may even manipulate the flow of lava. This may also be the reason why the lava activity on the planet Wendini is so frequent. After a pause, Robin added: "The radiation concentration on this planet is so high, it can't be released purely by radioactive minerals. If this is the case, then the planet's heavy metal reserves should be extremely staggering, and it is impossible to be as basic as it is now. Therefore, I think that such an alarming concentration of radiation is likely to be released by the mycenae metal when it digests the metal minerals to produce biological alloys. Booker has done research to confirm that the mycenae metal will be associated with radiation when digesting metal elements...
