Chapter 13 Interception Failure
INTERCEPTING AN OBJECT WITH HUMAN POWER MAY SOUND VERY SIMPLE, BUT IN REALITY IT IS SIMPLY AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not to mention how the human body can carry a weapon that can cause substantial damage to the OBJECT's body, how to avoid being swept up in the aftermath of the battle is a big problem.
You know, the shock wave from the explosion of a large-caliber shell is the biggest killer for unarmored infantry, and it is clear that none of the guns on the OBJECT are less than 100 mm in caliber.
"Hey, what are you kidding........ Hevia also realized this problem, and his attitude instantly transcended the relationship between the upper and lower levels in the army.
"How are we going to fight? There is no OBJECT to fight at all! Are you kidding. Hurry up and raise the "white flag"!! Didn't you say when you were in Alaska that general warfare is not popular on the modern battlefield!! β
"That can only be done when you can retreat after ceding territory. This time, we set up a formation to block the enemy's advance, and even if the "white flag" is raised, the opponent will still force a breakthrough in order to carry out the battle. Whether we surrender or not, it will have to destroy the base area if it wants to pass through Gibraltar........ To put it bluntly, it is "the situation does not allow". β
But Florettia did not reprimand him, but said with a serious face:
"And in the case of this operation, the higher-ups did not give me the radio code of the 'white flag'. It seems that the people at the top are trying to break us to pieces, and we are not allowed to let the enemy pass through here. β
Lunas glanced at the two unlucky guys sympathetically, this time the conspiracy was definitely aimed at himself, these two guys were purely unlucky, and they were implicated for no reason.
And judging from the fact that there is no code of the "White Flag", Floretia obviously does not know about it, and she is also implicated for no reason.
But with the wisdom of this beautiful chief, I'm afraid I have already anticipated their conspiracy, right?
"Alright, hurry up and fight for your lives to try to stop it. I will give you "HANDAXE" explosives, which are more expensive than platinum, for this purpose. β
"If you can do it, you can have a ghost!!, ahh
Kuwenther and Hevia shouted with all their might, disobeyed the order and began to run, running towards the crane that stretched out like a fishing rod, and rushed towards the open sea. It's about 10 meters above the sea, but it's safer to jump than to stay where you are and turn into the enemy's Object Triple Core.
"Hey, you waitββ!!!"
Floretia was about to stop them, but before she could finish her sentence, she noticed the main armed railgun of the three cores being aimed at her. Lunas, who was on the side, didn't care about any orders from his superiors and subordinates, so he directly grabbed Floretia and hurriedly jumped into the sea with Kuwenser to leave the sea base area. As soon as the front foot jumped out, this base area as huge as a mountain was blasted to pieces by an object that was also as huge as a mountain.
Lunas and the others fell into the sea. The sea is littered with countless debris of various sizes, and it is extremely dirty. This view is similar to the driftwood and other debris piled up in the estuary after a typhoon. However, the materials used to construct the foundation area are steel and concrete, and the debris scattered on the surface of the sea will slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.
Lunas and the others desperately put their faces out of the sea, trying to maintain the action of treading water. But the absorbent uniforms can only be described as "heavy", and with the fact that they are carrying several kilograms of plastic bombs and rifles, the condition is completely different from when swimming in a bathing suit, it is almost like a pair of invisible hands grasping their ankles.
"Uh........ Oops, will die!! We got carried away! I don't want to come to the battlefield with OBJECT anymore!! β
Despite the imminent danger of extinction, Kuwenther screamed.
The two soldiers, who were still enthusiastic just a moment ago, only remembered the fear they had when they faced the object with their physical bodies........
On the other hand, Hevia, who was also between treading water and drowning, shouted beside him:
"Hey, even if we don't get shot directly, just this piece of base wreckage is enough to crush us! Where's the reinforcement that you're going to send us!?"
"I've sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago! You can dive 300 meters without equipment and probably pick it up!! β
"It's the sea here, and they want to send us that kind of equipment that is sure to sink in iron!? Those higher-ups really want to us to death!! β
"Whatever, now it's important to get as far away from the base as possible, okay!? Floretia just said that there is an oil storage tank on the bottom of the sea, and when repairing, it is pumped as much as it uses through the pipeline, right? Now it seems to be fine, the pipeline is broken, and the crude oil has not leaked, probably some safety device. However, under the attack of the three cores, who knows how long it will last!! β
"As soon as you see the black fountain, it becomes a veritable sea of fire!? Who is through such a casual battle!! β
After the tricore almost destroyed the base area with a huge railgun, they were probably convinced that they had won (or they were relieved that there was no trace of the OBJECT in sight because they had been bombed like this), and they approached them as they fired their guns one after another.
The speed is about 200 kilometers per hour.
It wasn't going to break through the strait, just as Kuwenser thought to himself, when he heard Florettia, the prefect with only her face on the surface, shouting:
"Find a way to stop it!! If it breaks through here, the oil will be delivered to the enemy's base area! I don't want this to happen and stop it!! β
"Whatever! By the way, send it some salad oil! β
"If we let it send oil back, the OBJECT repair plant will be up and running again! In this way, the terrible OBJECT that couldn't be repaired before, so it didn't go out, but it will come to support!! Do you want to be thrown into the Mediterranean, which becomes more like hell than it is now!? β
OTHER OBJECTS?
As soon as his head surfaced, Lunas almost sank again when he heard the news.
OBJECT This weapon can be said to be made of Lunas, and the electromagnetic main cannon that can kill itself with one blow plus the desperately thick armor, it can be said that this weapon is simply designed for Lunas's weakness.
"Hey, no! The tri-core is coming!! β
"It's too slow to react, hero!! Who doesn't know that it wants to break through the strait-"
"It's not!! His course of progress is to crush us with a gigantic body!! β
"Real Fake !!"
Hevia screamed, but it was true.
There are three cores of power furnaces, probably because they found that two or three railguns were hit in one base area and were still barely in their original state, and they planned to attack by firing the main guns at zero distance. It didn't care about Lunas and the others treading water in its path, and just drove the huge mech forward.
Of course, if you hit it directly, your flesh and blood can't bear it at all.
The triple core uses the same principle as a hovercraft, spraying air downwards to float the body on the water. However, it is too difficult to make such a huge body float, so the floating height is only 30~50 cm. As a result, the machine bumped into Kuwenser and the others who were treading water. What's more, under the strong wind blows that can lift a huge body weighing hundreds of thousands of tons, the human body will be deformed.
If this continues, they will only end up with meat sauce to feed the octopus.
Maybe it will end up being a piece of minced food that even the octopus is too lazy to eat.
Kuwenther swam to a nearby lifeboat that was almost sinking. He Via almost didn't roll his eyes when he saw this, and yelled angrily:
"DO YOU THINK THAT KIND OF BROKEN SHIP CAN RUN FASTER THAN THE OBJECT OF NAVAL WARFARE!?"
"Not really, idiot! Wear this !! β
Kuvinser yelled back as he tossed the lifeboat's equipment to the remaining three, a jar about the size of a hairspray jar with an optional transparent mask that covered his nose and mouth.
"Oxygen Cylinder ........"
"Put it on and dive !!"
Kuwenther put on a clear mask, pointed downwards and said:
"The triple core is to move forward on the surface of the sea with large pontoons and air cushion devices! In this case, the huge meching body should not extend below the surface of the sea!! β
βοΌοΌβ
Hevia was going to respond to Kuvinther or something, but they didn't have time or space.
The three cores, approaching at a speed of nearly two hundred kilometers per hour, had already come to their side. Such a huge body moves at high speed, resulting in V-shaped waves. It is true that the mech itself floats on the surface of the sea, but the strong wind that shoots down blows the surface of the sea away, and even if a miracle happens to them to escape beyond the width of the three-core mech, as long as they are still on the surface, they will be swallowed up by the waves.
Just as the hook was firing, the three-core heavy pontoon passed right above him. The strong air fluctuations caused violent turbulence on the sea surface, but they did not affect the few unlucky people under the surface.
(Whew, finally saved...... οΌ
Just when Kuwenser breathed a sigh of relief, he found out that Lunas was gone!?
On the other side, under the three cores
"Why is it always me who is unlucky?" Lunas wailed feebly. Originally, everything went very smoothly and I was not hurt in the slightest.
To be honest, just a little air pressure can't kill Lunas, who has the river of death, but in order to make the picture less terrifying, Lunas still chooses a more conventional method.
It's a pity that even if the phrase "No" is put on a serious battlefield, it is still universal.
Lunas soon discovers that one of his feet is hanging from a fishing net beneath the tricore.
Lunas plunged his head into the water again, only to see that at the bottom of the water, a chassis hammer hooked a metal mesh object, which was now wrapped around Lunas's ankle, it did not look like an ordinary fishing net, and Kuwenser looked around again, and found a metal orb hanging from the side. It is the size of a large ball of a sports meeting, and the surface is covered with spines-like bumps.
Lunas's expression stiffened even more at the sight of the orb.
(-Mines!?) οΌ
In this way, Floretia seems to have said that a net with mines was pulled between the Strait of Gibraltar to prevent the three cores from entering. The OBJECT forced its way through the huge mech, and continued to move even though the net was wrapped around the mech.
With such mines, the OBJECT cannot be damaged at all.
However, if the mine exploded at such a close distance, Lunas would probably be ground into a pulp in an instant, right?
Presumably, in order to lock on to the target more accurately, the three-core stopped moving, mitigated the jetting of the air cushion device, and stopped on the sea surface only by the buoyancy of the pontoons. Lunas quickly took advantage of this opportunity to cut the fishing net wrapped around his ankle with the knife on his body, and carefully climbed out of the water along the fishing net.
The tri-core almost completely stopped moving, just firing the main gun railgun. This is to completely destroy the base area that is no longer a prototype and all the soldiers on it have jumped into the sea.
A large three-core pontoon shaped like an English letter A. The position where the two are currently located is a hollow in the center, surrounded by a pontoon, which looks like a fishing pond.
Lunas swam to the side of a huge pontoon that was more than five meters thick, and climbed a ladder there to the deck of the three cores.
Although it is a floating pontoon, it is a part of the object, and it is more than 20 meters wide. And next to them were three huge cylindrical oil storage tanks that were supposed to be in the petrochemical plant.
"Is this a strategic-grade weapon or a high-level chemical plant?" Lunas found himself "going to die if he didn't complain" getting sicker and sicker.
Although he was skeptical about the power of this explosive, which was said to be more expensive than the same weight of platinum, Lunas planted the bomb in the weakest point of the object in advance.
The biggest advantage that the battle has not yet started is that there is not so much electromagnetic interference, and Lunas has also received all-round assistance from the long-lost Crossing Pupil.
Looking down at the entire object, the three-core pontoons are in an A-shape, and there are various facilities in addition to the pontoons where Lunas and the others are located. Some blocks are equipped with huge cranes to dig for oil, while others are full of buildings that look like large warehouses as are common in ports.
"Large warehouses? I see, the three cores are OBJECT that builds the repair base on the body!! That's right, so that there is no need to protect the vulnerable fleet-style repair base area. This is a new feature that can only be achieved by a large model with three power furnaces........ "Lunas also sighed at the creativity of this group of people.
The biggest constraint of OBJECT is the logistics supply and maintenance, and once it is at sea, it needs a comprehensive supply fleet composed of professional large pontoon boats. The difficulty of its resupply is probably more difficult than that of an entire aircraft carrier group.
The three-core uses its special structure to change the relatively wide place in the middle into its own maintenance area, and the soldiers can carry out simple maintenance on the OBJECT at any time, which greatly extends the one-time dispatch time of the OBJECT.
