Chapter 177: Departure
Again, this is a question that no one can convince anyone. So at the end of the conversation, everyone fell silent.
After taking Ex and them around their forward base in a fancy way, Yuan Hao took them back to the meeting room.
The two sides sat down, and Ex frowned and made his third request to Yuan Hao for coming here: "Our people want to see you!"
"Your people, haven't you already seen me?" Yuan Hao responded instinctively, but before he could say anything, he felt that something was wrong, so he suddenly stopped.
He was silent for a moment, thought and thought about it, and finally understood what Ex meant: "You mean...... They want to see me? The senators of Zion?"
"Yes, after hearing about Los Angeles, the speaker wants you to go back. He doesn't think you'll be able to stand up to an enemy like that. Commander Locke ...... "Ex paused at this point, as if thinking about how to phrase it.
Finally, he sighed: "Commander Locke also wants you to go back, all humans must unite to defeat the Matrix." For today's human beings, every ounce of effort is crucial. Ex said.
Yuan Hao knew that this was not Locke's original words. Although he has not met the commander, from the original movie, Yuan Hao knows that this person is a tough and stubborn guy, he has his own set of ideas, he has an incomparable hatred for the mechanical city matrix, and he also loves humans very much.
He wanted to be able to protect more people, but he underestimated the power of the Matrix. He is not a tall saint, he also has his own ** in his heart.
He aspires to be the man of men, to be the head of Zion, and then to direct Zion to launch a counterattack against the Matrix. He wants to end this desperate war, so he wants to control any power that belongs to humanity.
Yuan Hao's side was obviously targeted by him. He wanted to take over Yuan Hao.
"I'm seen as weak. Yuan Hao thought. It is precisely because he is regarded as weak that Commander Locke gives such an order.
Because he felt that he had an obligation to lead the weak and make them strong. Seriously, Yuan Hao can quite understand Commander Locke's thoughts. However, understanding is not the same as acceptance, it is not the same as obedience. For Yuan Hao, who is also aspiring to become the leader of the human race in this world, Locke and even Zion are the forces he needs to subdue.
"The left and right places are almost cleaned up, and the rest is no problem for the Red Queen...... Well, it seems like I could try to get in touch with Zion as well. Yuan Hao thought so.
He pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Na...... Give me some time to prepare. You know I've got so many people, and I've done a lot of things. I need some scheduled time for follow-up things. It's not that easy to get to Zion from here, is it?"
"Well, that's what you say!" Yuan Hao's words, Ex said understandable.
The group parted. Yuan Hao asked Huang Yun and Zuo Geer to accompany Acks and lead them to visit the base.
In the last battle, after really visiting a real battle and experiencing the atmosphere of the battlefield, Huang Yun, Zuo Geer and others have officially realized the real horror, and they can be regarded as completely attributing to Yuan Hao.
In response, Yuan Hao trusted them, and naturally handed over some important things to them, such as the current ...... Introducing yourself to your valued guests is also quite an important job.
It is impossible for Yuan Hao to hand over this matter to a person who is disgruntled with him - Huang Yun, Zuogel, and Balik, the three people who have followed Yuan Hao for a year, have already passed Yuan Hao's test.
They left, and Yuan Hao began to make arrangements for the follow-up. Naturally, to go to Zion Yuanhao is to bring a group of people.
"This time, Yang Xue, Sarah, Huang Yun, Zuoger, and Balik all went with me, and as for the others, I chose a group from the new Marine Corps and ...... Let's take the Rangers with us!" gathered his men, and Yuan Hao discussed with them about going to Zion.
This trip to Zion is not only to meet the high level of Zion, but also to show his muscles to the people of Zion. For this reason, Yuan Hao decided to bring a batch of capable forces, which are enough to attract attention.
"T-1000 is ready for 20 units, T-800 is ready for 200 units, T-600 is ready for 500 units...... Add in the 480-strong Marine battalion, and the rangers should be able to take so much. Yuan Hao said thoughtfully.
"Ranger, it's no problem to take it...... However, are you sure you want to present the power of the Ranger in front of them?" Yang Xue pondered for a moment and asked softly.
The Ranger is a new type of space battleship designed by the Red Queen.
It is not very large, only 35,000 tons, 305 meters long, 50 meters wide, and 30 meters high.
The shape roughly imitates the setting of the Pegasus-class assault landing ship, divides the hull into two modules, the left and right modules, uses a fully concealed launch bay, but increases the artillery emplacement of the module in the middle of the hull, and is equipped with 4 356mm caliber Michaelis cannons (knapsack turret), an 800mm fixed positive electronic city breaker gun (fixed on the bottom of the middle of the battleship), and is equipped with a large number of concealed missile bays and electromagnetic blast bomb projection devices, and specially equipped with 4 203mm electromagnetic pulse guns for the combat boats of the mechanical city, which can launch powerful electromagnetic pulses in a directional manner。
Due to the use of a nuclear furnace to directly supply power, the four EMP guns can be irradiated for a long time, and then the electromagnetic motor can be operated to make the turret rotate 270 degrees, which means that the electromagnetic cannon can carry out range strafing - which is a deadly weapon for the mechanical octopus and the like.
With such a big killing weapon, Yang Xue naturally thinks that it is not suitable to show it to others casually.
There are so many people in Zion, maybe there will be people who commit adultery -- isn't there such a person in the movie? The important weapon of the country should not be shown lightly! This is Yang Xue's idea.
"Don't worry too much about it. We can't go to Zion! We have to show that we are strong. The important weapon of the country, showing people to show its prestige. Yuan Hao narrowed his eyes and said without refusal.
"But what if our ship is discovered by the Matrix?" said Sarah, a very crucial question.
"I'm not worried about the Rangers being exposed. You also know what the velocity of those things in the matrix is. Even if they find out, I can't beat them, can't I escape? And after all, there's no need for us to fight them to the death on the other side of Machine City. Think about our original plan. Yuan Hao said lightly.
"The original plan: to use some kind of powerful weapon to threaten the Machine City...... Meteorite!?" Yang Xue suddenly remembered, she understood what Yuan Hao meant.
"Okay!" Yang Xue was convinced. And so the matter was settled.
Yuan Hao arranged the affairs of the entire base to Hong, and then left the forward base with Ex and his party. Naturally, Ackes was driving his "Mohican" hovercraft. And Yuan Hao brought his own "Ranger".
Compared to the Mohican, which looked more like a transport ship, the Cruiser was more than a lap in size. Ex and the others saw that the Ranger's body was stuck in a thick barrel, with a majestic appearance, and his eyes were wide-eyed, as a man, a man who was considered a soldier, he was very obsessed with powerful weapons.
Although they didn't know what powerful weapons the Ranger was equipped with, just by looking at the Ranger's appearance, they knew that the Ranger was not easy to mess with.
"Is it necessary for you to bring such a big ship over? You can take my boat!" Ex asked Yuan Hao with some puzzlement.
"Your ship is too slow and too old. I'm used to my battleship...... And I need to bring some gifts to Zion with this ship. It's all human, I think I should give you some support!" said Yuan Hao with a smile.
Words will strike a merciless blow to the "Mohican".
"You!" Ex shook his head. When he was told that his ship was too broken, he couldn't refute it. The so-called whether the boat is good or not is a matter of self-knowledge. However, compared to the cruiser piloted by Yuan Hao, his "Mohican" is indeed too bad.
"Fly, no one flies fast...... weapons, it doesn't look like anyone is strong...... What is better than him compared to us? At most, we can drill into the sewers and borrow spiritual connectors to enter the matrix - this is nothing. Ex looked at the Ranger flying above the dark clouds, unable to see the edge at all, and muttered in frustration.
To be honest, he also wished he could fly such a battleship. However, the current Zion simply cannot build such a battleship. Zion, that is, it can produce some light equipment.
As for heavy weapons...... Zion doesn't have that ability at all.
"There is so much missing of humanity!" Ex sighed.
If two warships sail together in a fleet, it is useless to blindly pursue the speed of the ship, because the speed of the fleet is always equal to the speed of the slowest ship in the fleet.
This is also a realistic manifestation of the bucket effect. "Mohican" is a hovercraft with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
In terms of the straight-line distance between Zion and the forward base, it would take about 20 hours to get to Zion at full speed.
However, he could not sail at full speed after all. Because it can't fly high, it has to use various maneuvers to avoid the patrol of the mechanical octopus.
"Three days! We'll go to Zion in three days!" said Ex to Yuan Hao.
This was already a hurry, and it would take at least five days for Ackes to travel to Zion in normal times.
But......
"It's still too slow!" Yuan Hao sighed.
Flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, he locked on the figure of the Mohican on the ground through the instrument, and couldn't help frowning with a headache as he watched them play hide and seek with the mechanical octopus they encountered.
The speed of the Mohican was not comparable to that of a rover that could easily reach twice the speed of sound in the atmosphere, and now it was so full of twists and turns, Yuan Hao looked down from the sky, and he didn't notice its movement for a long time. This made Yuan Hao frown slightly. He contacted Ex directly on the ground.
"Do you need me to help you?" asked Yuan Hao.
"Thanks, but I don't need to. It's not that we can't destroy these patrolling mechanical octopuses, but if we attack them, we're going to cause even more noise. These guys are calling. Unless you have a way to kill all these guys who are chasing me in one go. Ex explained the root cause of his current embarrassment.
"Kill them all, it's not too difficult!" Yuan Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, and then turned his head to look at Yang Xue who was sitting in the adjutant seat behind him: "What do you see?"
"It's good to use small electromagnetic missiles. Six electromagnetic missiles cover the range of the mechanical octopus. Yang Xue gently stroked the falling hair and said softly.
"Then do it!" Yuan Hao made the final decision. He asked Yang Xue to start the attack program, and at the same time informed Ex below: "Get ready! We are ready to release the EMP missile." You'll have to silence the Mohican to avoid being attacked by the EMP Pulse. ”
"Is it like our EMP burst?" Ex was startled, his brow furrowed. He knew how terrifying the electromagnetic pulse was, and quickly ordered the entire battleship to quickly fall silent.
All of a sudden, the Mohicans fell silent, all electronic devices were turned off, and all the crew members of the ship held their breath neatly.
"The electronic signal of the Mohican is gone. "Radar monitoring on the Ranger reported the situation to Yuan Hao.
Yuan Hao looked at Yang Xue, Yang Xue nodded, and her voice suddenly became cold: "EMP missile versus enemy mode is on! EMP missile throwing!"
The order was given, and the battleship carried it out.
The missile launch hatch at the bottom of the Rover opened diagonally, and six white missiles about three meters long and fifty centimeters in diameter whistled down with a blue tail flame.
Accelerate, accelerate! The missiles of the falling clouds continue to increase their speed. The missile pierced the sky, and the roar generated by the high-speed flight came sharply.
Only ten seconds later, they landed on the top of the mechanical octopus. The distance between the two sides is no more than fifty meters. The mechanical octopus vaguely sensed something strange and raised its body upwards.
But at this moment, the EMP bomb exploded, and the blue electromagnetic wave showed its powerful power in the dark world, blooming a circle of blue ripples.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...... Six EMP missiles fell, and six circles rippled out, unleashing their power in the black space and delimiting their range.
The mechanical octopuses are all down. Under the onslaught of EMP bombs, their bodies fell like falling rocks.
On the surface, they didn't suffer any damage, but in reality, their internal circuitry had been completely burned out.
"Wow! that's powerful!" the members of the Mohican looked envious.
The trouble, and that was it, was solved.
The Mohican hit the road. Looking at the scenery flying by around him, Ex felt a sense of peace of mind in his heart: "It's not bad to be protected!"
