Chapter 61: Dawn
The attack of the electromagnetic cannon did not cause substantial damage to the tank beetle, but it completely angered it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Bang, bang, bang, bang" Tank Beetle quickly projected four self-detonating beetles at a speed that no one expected.
The explosion mechanism of the self-detonating beetle is similar to that of liquid explosives, but the explosion power is far greater than that of ordinary high explosives. The self-detonating beetle has the ability to fly autonomously and guide, and the flight relies on the initial projection power of the tank beetle and the gliding of its own elytra, and the whole self-detonated beetle can be regarded as an intelligent self-guided bomb.
The self-detonating beetle doesn't fly fast, in fact, the tank beetle, like the Blade Mantis, wins by scale. The overwhelming number of self-detonating beetles is definitely a nightmare for humans, but just a few self-detonating beetles don't have to worry at all.
"Playing Flying Beetle" was once a famous sporting event, and in the eyes of the members of the Zodiac Team, it is not much more difficult to fight a self-exploding beetle than to play "Flying Saucer". "Poof, poof, poof, poof." After four gunshots, the team members who were supporting the battlefield with electromagnetic rifles from a distance easily blew up the four self-detonating beetles in the air.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang." Four huge explosions rang out. Self-detonating beetles are a nuisance, and they will explode when attacked. Inside the sealed Tower of Babel, the sound of a violent explosion was absorbed by the walls of the nanomaterials, and a mist of blood spread through the air.
To be honest, An Ruoxuan didn't think that the tank beetle in front of her would cause much damage. According to past statistics, a tank beetle can carry a maximum of thirty self-detonating beetles. Although the tank beetle in front of him has mutated, its size has not increased significantly, and the fluctuation of bomb load should not be too large.
What can thirty self-detonating beetles do? Nothing can be done. The power of a self-detonating beetle in its complete state is equivalent to the power of a 50-kilogram TNT explosion, and the power of a non-complete explosion, that is, the power of the external force to the explosion, is reduced by one-third. The strength of the exoskeleton of the self-detonating beetle is comparable to that of ordinary steel, and the lethality mainly comes from the impact force.
Twenty years ago, this kind of explosion was definitely a huge threat, and it could be regarded as difficult to find an opponent on land. But now, especially in the face of bases and fighters full of black technology, it is really not a threat. As long as the self-detonating beetle is blown up before it explodes on its own, the power of the explosion will not even leave any traces on the wall.
That said, but the tank beetle still had to be killed. No one knows if the Tank Beetle will have new abilities after evolving, and everything is unknown until it is killed.
The current defense of the tank beetle is still insolvable for An Ruoxuan and them for the time being. The reaction speed of the tank beetle was far beyond their imagination, and it was impossible to seize the right fighter plane with manpower alone, not even a high-level biochemical transformation person like An Ruoxuan.
When manpower is poor, so humans invent tools. An Ruoxuan simply handed over the control of the electromagnetic cannon to "Xingtian", relying on Xingtian's computing ability and predictive reaction ability, it should not be difficult to seize that fleeting opportunity. If necessary, the electromagnetic gun can also be overclocked, and with a two-pronged approach, it should not be a problem.
Here, the control of the electromagnetic cannon has been handed over to "Xingtian", and An Ruoxuan and the others can't be idle. The slow movement speed of the tank beetle gave An Ruoxuan plenty of time to pull the hate, which was also the necessary price to pay for the tank beetle to gain long-range attack ability.
The Tank Beetle went into a brief period of stasis after projecting five self-exploding beetles. The principle of the tank beetle projecting the self-detonating beetle is somewhat similar to that of a slingshot, and the powerful muscles instantly contract to project the self-detonating beetle.
This ability of the tank beetle muscle is perfectly transplanted to the nano biochemical power armor by genetic biochemical technology, and the bionic body brings the user incomparably powerful and explosive power.
Of course, the violent contraction and relaxation of this muscle puts a huge strain on the body, and even a tank beetle cannot use it continuously. According to previous records, the tank beetle would enter a five-minute stagnation period after dropping five self-detonating beetles in a row. If nothing else, the evolved Tank Beetle still has this trait.
Wide-eyed, the two sides confronted each other silently for the next five minutes. The tank beetle has closed its hard elytra and lost its long-range strike capabilities. Similarly, An Ruoxuan and the others also lost the opportunity to start.
Five minutes is not long, and it is not short. When the end of the tank beetle's elytra lit up again, "Xingtian" had completely locked on the tank beetle's every move through various means, and synchronized the detailed information to An Ruoxuan and Chen Yi's face armor.
The tank beetle spread its elytra and began to attack again. A self-exploding beetle was ejected, and before it could spread its elytra in the air, it was directly shot by a distant team member. "Xingtian" did not take this opportunity to attack the tank beetle, because the second sword mantis beast that ejected perfectly blocked the trajectory of the budget.
In the event that a delay of 0.01 seconds will be reacted, the attack must be foolproof. The best time to attack is only when the tank beetle shoots all five blade mantis beasts out and is about to close the soft wings and elytra.
The self-detonating beetles projected by the tank beetles are not destined to have good results under the fire blockade of the team members. Only after the self-exploding beetle has truly formed a numerical superiority can it truly create the deterrent it deserves. Protected by nano-metal armaments, the tank beetles that exploded in the air were nothing more than a strong wind blowing in their faces.
The tank beetle shot the remaining three self-detonating beetles completely in one go, and still did not escape the strangulation of the team members. At the moment when the tank beetle attack was completed, the time that An Ruoxuan and the others had been waiting for had come.
As long as the information is sufficient and the computing power is strong enough, it is not impossible for computers to predict the future, and the weather forecast that we pay attention to every day is the best embodiment of big data prediction.
"Xingtian" has powerful computing power, and dozens of sensors densely packed in the institute make it have a powerful ability to capture information. Before the tank beetle was projected, Xingtian had already determined the timing and trajectory of the attack, waiting for that moment to come.
"Whoa", accompanied by a scream of the tank beetle, three electromagnetic shells passed through the narrow gap between the soft wings and shot heavily into the tank beetle's body.
These three electromagnetic shells caused unexpected damage to the tank beetle, and at the same time that the electromagnetic shell detonated the self-detonating beetle in the tank beetle's body, the soft wings were officially closed. The energy layer activated by the mysterious pattern locked the power of the explosion firmly in the tank beetle's body, and the overlapping impact and pressure made a mess in the tank beetle's body.
"Whoa, whoa", the tank beetle received a heavy blow, and the mysterious lines on its body also lost their luster, no longer emitting a green glow.
Taking advantage of its illness to kill it, An Ruoxuan will not give up this good opportunity to mend the knife. Under her guidance, three electromagnetic shells whistled towards the tank beetle again.
