Chapter 419: Super Soldier
Everyone turned their heads and stared at me with wide eyes as if they were looking at a monster.
After being stunned for a while, Long Yi asked me, "Brother Shi Yu, is this ...... What the hell is going on? How...... How could a dragon fly out of your body!? ”
I was thinking about how to explain it in my heart, and Wen Qingshan on the side started a round for me: "Regarding this matter, it will be difficult to explain clearly for a while, and I'm afraid this is not the time to talk about this, I think it's better to clean up this place first." ”
Maybe I thought Wen Qingshan was reasonable, or I thought I wouldn't answer, Long Yi didn't continue to ask, and I was secretly relieved.
After counting, our losses in this battle were not small, four special combat personnel were killed, two were missing, and almost all of them were wounded, four of them were seriously injured, Batur and Aishan were not in serious trouble, but they were a little frightened, because they had been hiding in one of the off-road vehicles, and they had escaped a catastrophe.
Due to the attrition, Long Yi intends to cancel this operation, but I firmly disagree, on the one hand, the old ghost and Long Jian are still waiting for us to go and respond. On the other hand, Professor Dong and the others have been missing for more than a week, and if they do enter the underground cave system, the longer the time is delayed, the smaller the chance of surviving, so I have to do my best to find them, even if the hope of finding them is very slim, but no matter what, after all, it is my promise to Dong Xiaodan.
At my insistence, Ryuichi agreed to accompany us into the underground caverns to continue the search, but the search would not take place until after dawn, and we would need to replenish our ammunition and equipment, after all, those owls and monitor lizards came from the underground caverns, and no one knew what was more terrifying waiting for us there.
The LONGITSU satellite phone contacted the headquarters, reported the situation to the headquarters, and requested support from the headquarters. When Ryuichi was talking to headquarters, I vaguely heard him mention "SS Plan" on the phone, but I didn't know what SS Plan was.
After about an hour, two helicopters flew over and landed in an open field not far from our camp, and some soldiers in military uniforms brought down from the planes several large boxes, which contained the most advanced weapons and equipment.
I can't help but wonder, because in my opinion, the weapons used by the special operators are already very advanced, and I don't know why they need to be replaced. And when I saw those weapons and equipment, I was completely shocked, the whole set of weapons and equipment looked very sci-fi, and it felt like it came from the future world.
Long Yi told us that this set of weapons and equipment is the latest successfully developed individual combat system, which has not yet been installed in the troops, and belongs to the top-secret "Supersoldier (Supersoldier) Program", or SS Program for short. The so-called super soldier means that the installation of this individual combat system can increase the combat effectiveness of an ordinary soldier by five to seven times.
The armament of this individual combat system consists of a long gun, a short gun, a dagger and a long knife, the body of the long gun is made of carbon alloy material, and it fires a special alloy bullet, the caliber of this bullet is very small, even smaller than that of a pistol bullet, but it is very powerful, its penetration is claimed to be comparable to a tungsten core armor-piercing bullet, and the biggest advantage of a smaller caliber is that it will not produce too much recoil when shooting, even if it is fired continuously, it can keep the gun body stable. In addition, the small caliber also determines that the magazine can be loaded with more bullets, and the ammunition load of this gun is quite amazing, reaching 180 rounds, and the maximum rate of fire reaches 200 rounds per second, which can form a powerful fire suppression.
The material of the short gun is the same as that of the long gun, and the firing is also a special alloy bullet, but the reload and rate of fire are not as good as the long gun, but it can effectively complement the long gun at critical moments.
In addition to the extraordinary guns, the daggers and long knives equipped with are also very unusual, they are made of special alloys, extremely sharp, sharpened iron like clay, especially the long knife, about one meter long, the blade of the knife is seventy centimeters, and it is very easy to hold in the hand.
To become a super soldier, not only must have a powerful attack system, the protection system is also particularly important, the protection system of this set of equipment is naturally quite advanced, intelligent protective helmets, full-body protective clothing and combat boots, all available, especially the set of full-body protective clothing, said to be protective clothing, in fact, more like a set of modern protective armor, excellent protective performance, its protection system is divided into two layers, the outer armor looks like it is made of a combination of scales, a bit similar to the modular armor of a tank, In fact, this fish scale design has been used in the military as early as more than 2,000 years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the craftsman who made the armor initially got inspiration from the fish, and found that the structure and arrangement of the fish scales not only effectively protected the body, but also can move at will, so imitated the layout and structure of the fish scales to invent the fish scale armor, the fish scale armor is the result of the ancient armor to the peak, but the fish scale armor at that time was made of steel sheets, very heavy, and now the material used in the fish scale armor of this set of equipment is a kind of nano carbon steel, Not only is it much tougher than ordinary steel, but it is also quite light and thin.
The inner layer of the guard system is a fibrous material similar to Kevlar. Kevlar is a new type of aramid fiber material, because this new material has low density, high strength, good toughness, high temperature resistance, easy processing and molding, its strength is 5 times that of the same quality steel, but the density is only one-fifth of steel, tough and wear-resistant, rigid and soft, with invulnerability to special skills, so it is called "armored guard" in the military, and is also the main material currently used in body armor, and the fiber material used in the inner armor of this protective system is further developed on the basis of Kevlar, Higher intensity.
Thanks to the inner and outer layers of protection, the entire outfit is even able to withstand the close-range fire of tungsten core armor-piercing shells.
In addition to its excellent protective performance, this suit also has a built-in exoskeleton mecha, which can not only make people walk dozens of kilometers without feeling tired, but also can easily lift hundreds of pounds of heavy objects.
After listening to Long Yi's introduction, Wen Qingshan and I were very shocked, we never thought that they would have such a powerful combat system, and on the other hand, I felt very puzzled, since there were such good weapons and equipment, why didn't they come in handy earlier, if we had used such advanced weapons and equipment at the beginning, maybe the casualties would not have been so heavy.
Long Yi explained that the main reason is that this "super soldier combat system" is still in the research and development stage, and it cannot be used in actual combat according to convention.
The helicopter brought a total of thirteen sets of equipment, and the special combat team led by Chen Biao now has ten members with combat effectiveness left, plus Long Yi, me and Wen Qingshan, just thirteen people, so we all changed into such a set of equipment. As for Batur and Aishan, they had not fully recovered from their fright, so Long Yi had a helicopter transport them and the four seriously injured special combat team members back to the headquarters, along with the bodies of the sacrificed special combat personnel.
Because neither Wen Qingshan nor I have ever used a gun, and the bullets of this carbon alloy submachine gun are relatively limited, in order to avoid waste, I did not equip the two of us with guns, but only equipped them with daggers and long knives, in fact, I have no interest in guns, and having a long knife in my hand is enough for me.
We stayed in the camp until dawn, and when it was just dark, we set out to move, and the group drove deeper into the ravine.
After last night's fierce battle, there are now monitor lizard corpses everywhere, I am afraid that there must be hundreds of them, which makes everyone feel very shocked, I really didn't expect that there will be so many monitor lizards gushing out of the underground cave last night, so how many monitor lizards are still hidden underground? And Wen Qingshan is more curious, so many monitor lizards, what do they feed on?
A few cars drove into a narrow area, and there was no way to continue driving, so the group got out of the car and walked deeper into the ravine.
That's when I realized the benefits of wearing this protective gear, and the built-in exoskeleton made it almost effortless to walk.
We soon came to the entrance to the cave that the old ghost had found last night, and the entrance was located on a cliff face nearly three meters high, but this time we had been prepared, and one of the special operators carried a portable telescopic ladder.
He set up a telescopic ladder on the cliff wall, and the group climbed up the ladder.
The so-called entrance, in fact, is a stone crack about half a meter wide, Long Yi took a flashlight to shine into the stone crack, and did not find anything abnormal, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and then took the lead in squeezing into the stone crack, and the others followed closely behind.
The narrow stone crevices give people a sense of oppression that is almost suffocating, and because they are too narrow, there is no way to speed up the pace, so they can only move forward slowly, but fortunately, they did not move far, and the surroundings suddenly became spacious.
The helmets we wore had searchlights for lighting, and everyone turned on the searchlights to get a glimpse of the surroundings.
This is a tunnel about two meters wide, the top of the cave is relatively low, we stand up straight, from the top of the cave is about twenty or thirty centimeters, the cave is very deep, and winding, there is no end in sight.
Long Yi took a deep breath and whispered, "Everyone follow closely, don't get lost!" With that, he took the gun and took the lead in walking to the depths of the cave.
