Chapter 372: Something Went Wrong

"All we care about is your safety now, Captain Superior." Boone was defeated by Night's relaxed appearance, "Your mech has not been modified for the desert environment, and it will malfunction if you move in the desert for too long." ”

Night looked at the anxious colonel suspiciously, "My mecha has the operation data of the desert environment, I have loaded it, there is no problem." Isn't my mech still good? ”

As soon as the night finished speaking, the dragoon fell to the ground unsteadily.

"Damn, what's going on? Pain..."In the fallen dragoon, Night rubbed his shoulder and cried out in pain, and the damn gravity made Night almost tear off his seat belt without the slightest preparation. Although the seat belt successfully prevented Night's face from making close contact with the control panel, Night's shoulder was still strangled by the seat belt.

"Sir, are you alright?" The pilots of the Sand Scorpion Squad were frightened by the sudden fall of the dragoons, and hurriedly manipulated the mecha to half-crouch down, and they thought that the dragoons had been attacked by the enemy. It wasn't until they heard the night's complaints and saw the dragoons that they were still intact that they were relieved to know that the special aircraft in front of them was also suffering from desert disease.

Desert disease is the name given to the failure of the mecha by the pilots who fought in the Terrad desert area because the mecha could not adapt to the desert environment, and the main manifestation was that the leg joints of the mecha were stuck in the sand. The current phenomenon of the dragoon is a typical desert disease, and in the process of walking, the dragoon's left ankle suddenly failed, resulting in a rather indecent fall in the night.

Night maneuvered the mech to roll over, then crawled out of his mech and ran to the left ankle of the dragoon. This guy still doesn't have the consciousness in enemy-occupied areas. This move made the surrounding troops nervous. They all used their bodies to block the Empire's possible sniping angles from him. Of course, it also blocks out the harsh sunlight.

Night gently opened the joint of some of the armor, and a stream of sand instantly poured the night with ash.

"Phew." Night waved his hand vigorously and slapped the sand off his head. I didn't expect that not long after the airborne Tyrald, there was so much sand in the legs of my mecha, and it was strange that the joints there were not stuck.

"Special Captain." Captain Keith also climbed out of his mech and came to Night's side. He was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old, and because of his long time fighting in the desert, this uncle's skin was a healthy bronz, and the open military uniform exposed the captain's strong chest muscles. He should also be a great pilot.

Night turned around and smiled wryly at the captain, who had thought that with the data of the desert environment, he could gallop in the desert now.

The Mammoth Tank on the right flank of the night also drove over, protecting the mech in the middle of it. The captain shouted into the communications truck assigned by his squad, "Lee, come and take a look." ”

The roof of the communication vehicle was opened, and an uncle with black hair and a tanned body crawled out of it, and he took some tools from the trunk of the armored car and walked towards the night mecha with his naked body.

The Federation's communications vehicles have large trunks with a lot of spare parts for mechs, allowing them to perform simple field repairs. This greatly enhances the ability of the Federation Mech Units to fight continuously.

"I didn't expect our Federation's No. 1 trump card to be so beautiful, much more beautiful than in the promotional photos." Uncle Li laughed at night with a cigarette in his mouth. The uncles who like to be well prepared are so bold.

Night and the maintenance staff have always been very friendly, but the adjectives used by Uncle Li are too much, "Uncle Li, I'm a boy, I have to use words like handsome to describe it." ”

Uncle Li laughed and climbed onto the left leg of the dragoon, and opened the armor on the ankle with his hands and feet, and suddenly, the night under the mecha was poured by the sand in the armor again, and the captain on the side was clever and dodged away.

"Hahaha." Seeing the night shaking his head desperately to shake off the sand in his hair, Li on the mecha smiled even more happily. However, the uncle's hand did not stop, and after cleaning the sand from the dragoon's ankle, his laughter immediately stopped.

Ye felt the strangeness of the uncle, and also climbed up to the mecha and asked curiously: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

The uncle raised his head and frowned and asked Ye, "Your mecha uses a magnetic fluid joint?" ”

"No, it's an electromagnetic fluid joint, what's wrong?" There are three types of mecha joints in the Federation, the hydraulic joints of the privates, the magnetic fluid joints of the rangers, and the electromagnetic fluid joints of the dragoons, although these joints are driven differently, but the principle is still the same. And the sand should only clog the moving parts of the joint, resulting in a decrease in the sliding performance of the joint, which has nothing to do with the driving method.

"The sand is grinding through your joints, the fluid in your joints is leaking, and the monitoring sensors are worn out." Lee pointed to the badly worn joints of the dragoon's feet.

Night looked at the scarred parts in disbelief, "No, how long have I been parachuting?" Not for an hour, how can this be. "In fact, it took only two days for the dragoons to be sent to the hands of the night, and the trial machine was damaged in two days, and the night can be regarded as a saboteur.

"Don't underestimate the sand." The captain also climbed into the dragoons and said to the night on the side.

"We thought the new equipment would last a long time, but the cruel truth tells us that the power of the desert is not something that steel can resist." Li pointed to the anti-sand net on the soldier's feet and said, "You can't deal with the sand hard, you can only use soft sand." ”

The Federation didn't install sand nets when they first deployed private soldiers in the desert, because these things would hinder the flexibility of the mech's joints, of course, this hindrance was quite small. But just a week after the mechs were deployed, the Federation's desert mech forces were completely wiped out, and it was not the Imperial forces that defeated them, but the most thing in the Great Desert of Tyrald, sand. Noticing the severely worn joints, the Federal Formation Force in the Terrad Desert immediately responded to the Federation's top brass and installed sand nets for their own troops. The Federal Military Department also stipulates that in desert areas, it is necessary to use mechs equipped with anti-sand nets to fight, but this rule has never been paid attention to at night.

Uncle Li raised his head and said helplessly to the night: "If it is a hydraulic joint, I still have engine oil and filling materials in my car." I can't do anything about the electromagnetic fluid joint. ”

"What then? Why don't I float back? "Night thought that his dragoons could float. That way, you don't have to use the ankle joint.

Uncle Li shook his head. "The particle engine on your mecha's legs also entered the sand, because you used a lot of time to float before, the sand blown by the particles entered the engine from above, fortunately you didn't use them much after that, because of the sand, the particle engine will become very unstable, and it may explode anytime and anywhere."

Keith also pointed to the engine spout on the back of his mecha and added: "The back engines of our mechs are equipped with anti-sand metal covers, just for fear of sand entering. "The spout deflector behind the private has been visibly lengthened. This is the best way to prevent sand without affecting the use of the engine.

The words of the two people made the night useless, and asked with a depressed face, "Then what should I do?" You can't leave the dragoons here. ”

"That's not going to work." Naturally, Keith knew the value of this purpose-built machine for the night.

Uncle Li nodded, and suddenly smiled evilly, "I have a good idea, haha." ”

Ye sat on the dragoon speechlessly, looking at the privates in front of him, Uncle Li's so-called good way was to let the three privates carry the dragoons to move. Captain Case's privates carried the dragoons' feet in front, while the other two privates held the dragoons' hands firmly behind, while the mammoths spread out their guard behind the mechs. This position made Yaya feel like she was losing her face. He was carried away like a wounded man, and this was the first time in the night. Even after the battle with Mary, the leader of the Rose Squad, the night was not so ugly, at least at that time the Rangers were still able to move on their own, although at that time the Rangers could not do anything but move, but it was much better than being carried by the Dragoons like now.

"We've arrived, and we've been instructed to wait here to meet the troops." The Scorpion team did not slow down their retreat by carrying the dragoons, but returned to the Imperial chariot in less time than they had searched before.

"The third base of the Tyrald front camouflage force, this is the sand scorpion squad, we have arrived at the designated place, when will the receiving troops arrive?" Captain Case himself was very opposed to going deep into enemy-occupied territory, and now that the main combat force of the night had been lost, it made the captain want to withdraw to the control area of his troops even more, so as soon as the captain arrived at the location, he contacted the base and asked about the status of the receiving troops.

Finally, the night that no one carried it was also a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the receiving troops did not arrive, otherwise his ugliness would have been seen by more people.

"This is the third base of the camouflage force on the front line of Tyrald, the Sand Scorpion Squad, what's wrong with the Reaper One? Why was the communication suddenly interrupted? "Colonel Boone is obviously more concerned about the condition of the night, after the communication was cut off in the front, they lost contact with the dragoons, and anxiously they also forgot to contact the sand scorpion team with the dragoons to get the status of the night, and now the active contact of the sand scorpion team reminds them that there is a friendly army of their own around the night.

"Desert disease, the dragoon's ankle joint was damaged, the thruster went into the sand, and it is estimated that the communicator was damaged when he fell, so we need to respond to the troops to hurry up, where are they?" Captain Keys briefly reported the cause of the incident, and then continued to inquire about the situation of the receiving troops.

"Whew, it's good to be okay." Colonel Boone breathed a sigh of relief, "The Red Baron squad that will pick you up has set off and is expected to arrive in thirty minutes. ”

"Okay Colonel." Keith breathed a sigh of relief, if the Red Baron team came to pick him up, then he would be safe.

The Red Baron Squad is the strongest mecha team in the Federation's non-camouflaged forces in the Terrad Desert, although it is not as powerful as the Federation's famous B team, which is composed of all super aces, and the two teams of the Grim Reaper are powerful, but it is also the only all-ace team in the Tyrald region, and their captain has destroyed ten mechas, reaching the standard of double aces.

Night depressed crawled out of the dragoon, and ran to the left ankle of the mecha again, hoping that a miracle would happen, the dragoon would be overhauled after two days of use, and if Alicia knew, Night's ears would inevitably be bombarded again.

But the truth is cruel, it seems that the wounded dragoons must be connected to the Aria group, the only one in the Federation that has the technology to produce electromagnetic fluids. Night sat down on the mecha armor in frustration, and then stood up with his ass covered at a faster speed, the desert noon sun had already baked the armor to fry eggs.

"Boy, fast forward into the mech. Or you'll get heat stroke. Li stretched out his head to remind Yedao that when he was inspecting the dragoons in front, there were privates who were shielding them from the sun, and now the privates were on guard, and the dazzling sunlight was shining directly on Ye's body without obstruction, making Ye feel that a fire was burning behind him.

The attention of the overnight was all drawn to the Imperial chariot. The remaining mammoth squad had confirmed the condition of the tank, and the body of the Imperial pilot had been cleared from the cockpit by them and placed in the shadow of the vehicle, that is, the vehicle was now empty. Night curiously walked up to the pilot and observed his situation. The Imperial Pilot was wearing the rank of captain, and his abdomen was cut open by a sharp weapon, and the heavy bleeding here was probably the cause of the pilot's death. The pilot also had marks of being hit on the head by a heavy object, and some small abrasions and bruises appeared. Judging from the few injuries on the pilot's body, the cockpit of the tank did not suffer a serious blow, but the fragments caused by this blow that was not strong for the machine had the ability to kill people, and the pilot's bad luck caused the vehicle to stop. If the fragments that caused the wound in the pilot's abdomen were to be further forward by three or four centimeters, it is estimated that the pilot's abdomen would not have been cut open.

Yeliso climbed onto the chariot and opened the cockpit canopy, and the scene inside was as Night had expected, most of the instruments were not damaged, but the screen on the left was shattered, and the image could not be displayed. The Imperial pilot was also classified as an unlucky one by Night, as there were only two pieces in the cockpit. One should be a part on the communication device, and Night directly recognized this heavy part as the culprit who smashed the pilot's head. The other part is the armor fragment behind the left monitor, this sharp fragment is the murder weapon that cut through the pilot's abdomen, which is supposed to be the outer protective armor of the cockpit. However, this armor, which was supposed to protect the pilot from damage, was shattered by a 120mm bullet, which pierced the display on the left side of the cockpit and killed the pilot.

Night gently jumped into the cockpit of the chariot and activated the empire-made behemoth. With a buzzing sound, the beast lifted its head. Fortunately, Lee had already informed the Sand Scorpion team of the situation of entering the vehicle at night, otherwise the enemy red dot that suddenly appeared in the team's monitor would have frightened the group of already nervous Federation troops.

Night quickly entered the identification code of friend or foe, and the vehicle suddenly turned from red to green on the screen of the Federal Army's monitor, becoming a friendly signal.

"Uncle Li, can you help me put the lost track back? One less drive this tank is somewhat unstable. After trying to move a few times, Ye drove the chariot to the broken track and asked Uncle Li. (To be continued......)
