Chapter 65: Patton's Legion (1)

The picture on the display stabilizes from the beating state.

The iron curtain is black above, and the sparkle is like a sapphire below.

Unable to see the boundaries of the map or judge their own spatial orientation, the two mechs were abruptly stuck on the dividing line between light and darkness, up and down.

What the hell is this map?

"Shi Min, below."

Xu Yan shouted in the voice channel, and Shi Min subconsciously looked down and was suddenly startled.

"Holy, Earth? How did you get to outer space! ”

"The 'Space Orbit' map is, of course, set against the backdrop of the universe, and I'm not talking about that, it's still ahead."

Shi Min pulled his gaze forward slightly, and saw that not far from the two mechas, an iron-gray large spaceship with an extremely large size that could only be seen in science fiction movies was swimming at a slow speed in front of it like a metal whale.

"The other side of the battle starts from the point of departure, and as soon as the war starts, it must break through as quickly as possible."

"Understood."

The ten-second countdown quickly returned to zero, and the two planes immediately ignited the vents and raced towards the target spaceship with all their might.

As soon as he began to maneuver, Shi Min realized that he was facing a huge problem

[Tapir C1] is not equipped with special flight equipment, and the improvised flight device as an auxiliary for land warfare is clumsy like a brick in a vacuum environment, and the orbit will deviate more than ten meters when it is slightly accelerated, and it is almost impossible to maneuver.

Hey, why is this detail so realistic!

Shi Min had no choice but to step on the pedal to constantly adjust the output of the secondary nozzle, trying to correct the crooked track back, but the excessive correction often caused the mecha to jump up and down like a pinball, or even spin in place. It's just like a dog's planing paddling, dancing and "swimming" to the spaceship

[Tapir C1] made the onlookers laugh out loud with its funny gesture.

"What are you doing, this guy, last time he played the training ground with basic equipment, and this time he went to the universe with basic equipment, so he can do it."

The gruff shadow let out a "haha" laugh.

"It's very simple, I can only say that he is indeed a rookie, and he has enough vegetables."

The slender shadow commented coldly.

"the daddy!"

Shi Min was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he almost wanted to jump out of the cockpit to push the mecha.

"Shi Min, what are you doing?"

"Nonsense, don't you need to talk about it, you don't think your mecha is ......"

Shi Min's complaint was only halfway through when he got stuck, because the speed of the land model [Yuheng] in the same position was faster than him, and it was not a little faster, and it slid from the front to the [Tapir C1] in a flash.

"Ah, you didn't even buy high-mobility components to fight space warfare?"

Xu Yan was shocked.

Shi Min found that the appearance of the wingman was a little different, mainly in the shoulders, waist and legs were equipped with speaker-type jets, and the main nozzle on the back was also replaced with a larger model, similar equipment he had seen when he fought against the two main forces of the Chinese University of Technology last month.

"You didn't say you wanted to travel in space."

The first-year rookie was greatly aggrieved.

"Come on, could it be that the orbit of space could be on Earth? Forget it, the mass of [Yuheng] is relatively light, and there is still a surplus of high-mobility component output on my side, so I'll take you away.

[Yuheng] stretched out his mechanical hand and grabbed the mechanical arm stretched out by [Tapir C1], dragged the wingman to the position next to him, and ignited the flames of all the vents and flew towards the spaceship in one go.

While applauding [Yuheng]'s ingenious cooperation, the onlookers suddenly felt that this scene seemed to have a slight sense of immediacy.........

β€»β€»β€»

"Squeak"

The army-green jeep stopped in front of the door, and before the car could be steady, a middle-aged man jumped down from the car in a hurry, and kept striding up the steps at his feet.

The first time he saw someone dare to make trouble in such a confidential unit, the guard was so annoyed that he raised his rifle to stop the lawless fellow, but when he saw the star on the other man's shoulder, he immediately swallowed and retracted - a rank he could not reach in twenty years of hard work.

At the gate, there was an old man in white waiting with his hands behind his back, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Yo, Xiao Li, I'm still in such a hurry."

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of big teeth that were about to fall out.

"Please, how many years have it been, Lao Li is still about the same."

Lieutenant General Li Yucheng said helplessly.

"How's that thing being tested?"

"Hehe, I'm still in such a hurry."

The old man made a "follow me" expression, and led the lieutenant general into the labyrinthine interior of the scientific research building, and after turning an unknown number of turns, the two stood outside a room separated by a glass wall.

The interior was large, estimated to be four or five hundred square meters, with a large number of wires and electronic instruments, interspersed with the interspersed gaps between the same white-clad staff with notebooks, and the front and back ends of the room were occupied by three very conspicuous thingsβ€”a strange-looking cylinder, a firearm four meters long, and a pile of pierced scrapped steel plates.

Lieutenant General Li Yucheng frowned.

"How's the power?"

The old man seemed to have expected him to ask this, and shook his hand and handed him a small notebook that he had opened.

"Although it is only a preliminary test, the basic results should be the same, the beam sword and the beam rifle are essentially the same power, but the tactical form is different, the depth of armor penetration is about 900mm, the depth of cutting armor is about 230mm, and there is also a depth of 20mm within the contact range of forty centimeters, that is to say, the ordinary armor steel in service has almost no defensive ability under the direct attack of the particle beam."

β€»β€»β€»

After wasting all their strength, Shi Min and Xu Yan finally touched the perimeter of the spaceship, which was larger than they expected, and the iron-gray metal shell was like a city wall in front of the two mechas, and they couldn't find the entrance for a while.

But someone quickly solved the trouble for them.

The metal shells of the two mechs in a straight line suddenly rolled a dark red like lava, then swelled violently like bubbles, and a flash of light suddenly shot out.

[Tapir C1] and [Yu Heng] immediately released their restraints, and at the same time popped out in opposite directions, Shi Min saw the optical axis pass by the side of [Tapir C1], and the surface of the armor plate immediately rolled up a large number of bubbles and liquid blocks, and a depression more than ten millimeters deep appeared.

Damn, it was just rubbing!

In the next second, dark red spots of light burst out from the outer shell of the spaceship, and beams of light pierced through the metal to open a dense network of light in the void, capturing the moving orbits of the two mechs.

The opponent's mechs are all equipped with beam rifles!

The situation of the [Tapir C1] without a high-mobility component immediately became very bad, and no matter how superb Shi Min's reflexes were, he couldn't act on the mecha, and the other party seemed to be able to accurately capture the information on the periphery, and this land model with extremely poor mobility immediately became the target of the beam concentrated attack, and the leg mechanism was immediately hit and was ploughed open an extremely deep ravine.

"Damn, I'm going to be beaten!"

Shi Min was in a hurry and immediately took out the triple anti-armor missile launcher mounted on the mechanical arm, and fired two bullets at the hull in front of him.

Losing forty yuan at once, Shi Min was so distressed that he took a breath, and immediately set up an assault rifle to drive the mecha to speed down towards the breakthrough. But of course, the other party would not let him succeed, and a mecha quickly filled this gap, firmly blocked the [Tapir C1] landing track, and set up the beam rifle in his hand to fire continuously.

The whole body is covered with heavy armor with sharp lines, rocket artillery, infantry machine guns and a large number of external weapons, which are insignificant in the huge size of this mecha, and the square and upright head is inlaid with dark red electronic eyes of the "binocular type", glaring at the opponent with murderous evil.

It's [Patton] style!

The scorching axis of light shot directly at the cockpit with murderous aura, and the attack that exceeded the speed of sound by five or six times was almost instantaneous, Shi Min's heart was in a big mess, and the strength of the pedal was overdone, and the output of the auxiliary nozzle on one side suddenly skyrocketed, driving the mecha to fly like a turntable.

The scorching axis of light swept over [Tapir C1] with a gap of less than half a meter in the next breath, melting away a small part of the armor.

It's dangerous!

Shooting the last missile in an attempt to disrupt his opponent's movements, Shi Min dragged the crosshair over and fixed it on [Patton]'s head to preempt a rapid fire, but the line of fire shot out rows of sparks at [Patton]'s post-mortem position.

Didn't hit!

The two 12.7mm infantry machine gun towers on the shoulders of [Patton] alternately hit the line of fire, blasting the anti-armor missile in the air, and the heavy mecha stood calmly in place, still hitting the body by the fragments, and the beam rifle was still locked on the [Tapir C1].

Shi Min was taken aback by the other party's extremely calm mentality, and he immediately realized that he was not a unique professional in this game.

This guy is also a pro-level Engineer!

β€»β€»β€»

Lieutenant General Li Yucheng frowned.

"It's really terrible equipment, I didn't expect that the mission was just issued a month ago, and Lao Mei's side was weaponized so quickly."

"Although I don't want to admit it, those guys on the other side of the ocean have indeed surpassed our peers, except for some small flaws, there is basically no problem, and we haven't even made a mold on our side."

"Flawed?"

Lieutenant General Li Yucheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that things didn't seem to be so bad that they couldn't be recovered.

The old man took back his notebook and flipped through it slowly:

"Well, for example, the biggest problem is that although a detachable energy magazine and a built-in micro generator are used to make the whole gun independent and systematic, the load of each shot is still too large, and it takes three or four seconds of cold gun and energy storage time, so it can only be fired semi-automatically, and the interval between them cannot be too short."

This is a flaw that can be exploited.

β€»β€»β€»

"Hey, aren't you firing again?"

After a suffocating round of rapid fire, there was a brief silence on the battlefield, as if time had suddenly stopped flowing.

[Tapir C1] is preparing for sniping, and [Patton] is also doing the next round of energy storage.

Success or failure strikes again.

"Takashi"

The vent of the whole body briefly erupted into a counter-jet, forcibly stabilizing the floating posture of [Tapir C1] in an instant, Shi Min pulled the lever to death, fixed the assault rifle on the edge of the electromagnetic shield, and stared at the crosshair, and in less than a second of stagnation, the consciousness shot straight out along the gap in the center of the crosshair, and slammed it into [Patton]'s forehead!

Shot! Shot! Shot! Shoot me!

"Da Da Da"

"Pyri

The assault rifle and beam rifle shoot a dazzling flash of fire at the same time. Barton's head flew apart in an explosion, and the high-energy particle beam approached Tapir C1's body in the blink of an eye..........

β€»β€»β€»

"So is there any defense? Otherwise, from now on, the armored forces will switch to iron shells, and the armor will be useless anyway. ”

Lieutenant General Li Yucheng furrowed his eyebrows irritably, this kind of power was not good news for the ordnance officer.

In stark contrast to the lieutenant general's troubles, the old man still had that understated demeanor, as if he was holding a gun to his head and declaring that he was about to explode him, and he would not be in a hurry.

"It's not that exaggerated, although ordinary armor is useless, but some of the latest conceptual armor is still a little useful, such as the electromagnetic armor provided by Nortel University before."

"Electric ...... Electromagnetic armor? ”

Of course, Lieutenant General Li Yucheng remembered the patent he bought not long ago, when he felt that this special armor might be of great help in defending against high-speed armor-piercing bullets, and never thought that it would be so powerful that it could block conceptual weapons.

"According to our research, the particle beam emitted by this beam rifle is fixed with an electromagnetic field, if it interferes with this magnetic field, then the structure of the particle beam will be scattered in an instant, and the principle of electromagnetic armor is just to disrupt and destroy the incoming ammunition through the strong electromagnetic field between the two armor layers, so although it is only a theoretical study at present, I personally believe that this trick is still feasible."

β€»β€»β€»

"Knock"

The foot mechanism of [Tapir C1] fell heavily on the metal partition of the spaceship, and the outer layer of the electromagnetic shield in his hand was melted through a fist-sized hole, and electric fire and steam continued to beat from inside, but the base armor was useless to be penetrated.

"Huh, thank God, sure enough, the shield of the local tyrant can defend against the spear of the local tyrant, and the game setting is really urine."

Shi Min breathed a long sigh of relief and began to glance around.

This is about the rear cargo compartment of the spaceship, filled with oversized conveyor belts, containers, and giant-like steel frames, so detailed that it's hard to believe it's a virtual century.

But all of a sudden, a very bad feeling came up, so thick that it almost made people want to vomit.

There's something in there!

As soon as the thought came to mind, the hull above was suddenly hit into a hornet's nest by a flying rapid-fire shot, and the warhead fell on the steel frame and conveyor belt and exploded into flames, and the container on top suddenly shook violently, and the beam optical axis penetrated the outer layer of the container and shot upward, [Yuheng] broke through with countless metal fragments at this moment.

"Don't be stunned, these guys have set up an ambush circle here!"

Under the blind spot of the onlookers, Xu Yan also drove [Yuheng] to pull out the second assault rifle without hesitation, opened the barrage and fired quickly at the obstacles on both wings, and the containers were shattered one after another under the heavy bombardment of 82mm shells, revealing the scarlet electronic eyes hidden behind.

Two on the steel frame, three on the conveyor belt, a perfect ambush circle of 360 degrees.

"Pyripili"

The beam of the return shot hit quickly and with extremely high accuracy, and the second shot penetrated the shoulder device of the [Yuheng] High Mobility Component and caused a large explosion, forcing the body to glide down from the top of the spaceship at high speed and crash into a bunch of containers.

[Tapir C1] immediately set up an assault rifle to strafe and contain the shots of other mechs, while pulling across the electromagnetic shield to block in front of [Yuheng], the beam hit the shield and made a "squeak" sound, and the point of impact was almost always at the edge of the shield danger, and the flying particle fragments even burned the outer armor layer of the mecha.

Damn, that's too right.

There was no time to reload the bullets, [Tapir C1] pulled out the assault pistol and dragged it out of the shield to shoot indiscriminately, but unexpectedly only two shots were fired, and a particle beam accurately folded the assault pistol in two sections from the middle, and Shi Min immediately threw half of the remnant gun to avoid being affected by the explosion.

"How?"

"The high-mobility components are a little damaged, but the performance of the airframe is not affected, but this is disgusting, these people seem to be all professionals like us."

Xu Yan gasped.

The rush game is not limited to five colleges and universities, in fact, there are similar mecha competitive activities within the scope of universities or companies in several major countries, and even larger in scale and more professional, but this kind of goods will run into competitive games to abuse amateur players, I really can't imagine what kind of mentality it is.

"Damn, it's going to be a tragedy now, I'm running out of ammunition now."

Shi Min said anxiously, annoyed that they were too big.

The opponent's shooting accuracy is like that of a ghost, the damage of the shield has reached more than 50%, the assault pistol is finished, and the high mobility equipment of [Yuheng] has also been damaged, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to clean up the remaining enemies.

"No, it's not that time yet, we still have one last resort to use."

Xu Yan replied calmly.

β€»β€»β€»

"Electromagnetic armor? So, I'll order a batch of samples from the factory right away, and you'll start the experiment right away! ”

Lieutenant General Li Yucheng waved his fist excitedly, turned around and wanted to leave, but the old man stopped him.

"By the way, Xiao Li, have you ever heard of a mecha simulation game developed by Lao Mei called SOE Company?"

"What?"

The lieutenant general had an inexplicable expression, he was already past the age when he liked to play games, and even the computer had just been learned recently, of course it was impossible to know.

"This thing has been very popular in the market lately, and we have branches in the Americas, Europe, and even all of us have people playing with it, but that's not the point."

The old man suddenly lowered his voice and said to Li Yucheng:

"Xiao Li, ask your acquaintances from the National Security Bureau to help check this place, honestly I think this game is ...... Kind of suspicious. ”
