Chapter 163: Assault
The roar of the explosion resounded across the land, and the flames burned everything it could.
Icy machinery swept over the wreckage of its companions. Moving forward silently, without sorrow, without fear, just silence! Like a dead man, this is the characteristic of low-level mechanical lifeforms.
Silent, they continued to move forward under artillery fire, and apart from the unavoidable confusion caused by the enemy's attack, the mechanical octopuses did not have any disorder. Their pace is the same as last night, but it is steady and tight. They just persisted, silently carrying out the original battle plan.
Persistent and persistent, after repeated passive bombing, they finally persevered until the arrival of their own combat ships.
The battle then entered a new phase.
To be honest, fighting a war is a bit like playing cards, where each side has its own hole cards and routines. In the previous times, Yuan Hao's side took the lead in sending new units to naturally gain an advantage, and with the appearance of the combat ship, the matrix side seemed to have the possibility of turning the tables again.
The 100-meter-long cigar-shaped body, propelled by an electromagnetic engine, and hundreds of battleships with sharp thorns calmly attacked, and the momentum of its appearance was quite terrifying.
However, the red queen will not be shocked by such momentum. As an intelligent program, and being in the rear, she can't feel what momentum is at all.
It's just that even if you don't feel the so-called momentum, after discovering that the enemy on the opposite side has played a big hand, the red queen still adjusts accordingly according to the opponent's movements. In fact, she was happy at this moment.
"Command the assault tank to make a sortie, go into anti-aircraft mode...... Also send all our fighters to entangle these battleships that belong to the matrix. The Red Queen quickly gave an order, and then she turned to Pingyuan: "Ready to go! Wait a minute, you will take a small boat with your master to attack the interior of the Machine City." ”
"Understood!" Pingyuan nodded heavily, and then turned around and left.
And after she left this position, Yang Xue took over her job with a helmet full of electrodes. At this moment, Yang Xue closed her eyes, her mind rotated, and under the guidance of the Red Queen, she cut into the battle situation and assisted the Red Queen to command the combat units on her side.
Compared with Pingyuan, Yang Xue is more dexterous in controlling the overall situation. As a human being, she often has a whim, and this kind of whimsical move is combined with the rigor of the Red Queen herself, but it is like a cloud of peers who command the entire tactics.
The Terminator as an infantry and the assault fighting vehicle as a tank and artillery work together, and with the assistance of fighters used as an air force, they use various tactics, like ants gnawing bread, little by little, under the suppression of the matrix combat ships, eroding the matrix army.
Both sides still look anxious. It's just that on such an anxious battlefield, the Red Queen is firmly controlling the rhythm of the battle, so that the battle losses of the side are lower.
The battle was fought on a front that stretched for nearly 100 kilometers. The big battle situation attracted everyone's attention, and they didn't notice that about twenty kilometers south of the battlefield, a small boat forty or fifty meters long broke through the water and rushed directly towards the mechanical city at an extremely alarming speed.
Capturing the thief and capturing the king first was originally a part of Yuan Hao's plan to attack the Machinery City. It's just that unlike the decapitation tactics that the world thinks must sneak into the central computer room of the Machinery City through the matrix world and face the creator clone with the highest authority, Yuan Hao doesn't want to face the guy who is like heaven in the illusory world.
He understood that machines and humans were similar. For the life advanced intelligent mechanical beings, their souls are their incarnations in the matrix world, and their physical bodies are their reliance in the real world.
There has never been a program that doesn't need to be dependent on existence - perhaps more advanced intelligent programs can do that, but right now, whether it's the most powerful creator in the world, or the agents of other things, they all need to rely on existence. And Yuan Hao controlled the boat to attack the Machinery City, and the so-called thing was to try to destroy these dependencies.
In Yuan Hao's opinion, compared to the incarnation who can mobilize the power of the entire world in the matrix world and thus possess all kinds of non-human powers, directly destroying the other party's reliance is a bit cumbersome, but it is indeed quite a simple matter.
“...... At the very beginning of the invention of the computer, the computer was thought to consist of five components: combinators, registers, controllers, input devices, and output devices......
Later, no matter how the computer evolved, these five components existed, from mainframe consoles to home computers, from laptops to mobile phones......
Even now, the matrix has always had five major components of the computer. Perhaps, they will integrate, they will become more sophisticated, but they will definitely not disappear. So, what we need to do now is to find the basis for recording these procedures in the Machine City and destroy them......
After all, the social structure of the matrix is somewhat similar to that of insects, and those who have brains are all at their top. As long as you kill the high-level programs equivalent to the queen bees and destroy them, then as a low-level mechanical octopus, the battle ships and the like will be completely targeted. ”
In the "Wyvern", an assault combat ship that has undergone a near-reconstruction, Yuan Hao gently lies in the wheelhouse of the "Vanguard" Gundam and whispers these words.
This is also the guiding ideology of his current operation.
He has been preparing for this battle for a long time. Landing from a distance of twenty kilometers towards the Machinery City, with the speed of the flying dragon, Yuan Hao quickly approached the location of the Machinery City. The huge dark wall towered high in front of his eyes, Yuan Hao didn't know how thick the wall was, but judging from the height of its towering, he knew that its degree was absolutely amazing.
"We are still a kilometer away from the wall of the Machinery City...... Pingyuan's words came clearly, and she reported the latest situation here to Yuan Hao.
"There was no movement on the walls of the Mechanical City. It seems that our terminator has not broken through to this place yet......" Yuan Hao muttered quietly, and while telling this fact, he asked Pingyuan in a low voice: "Have you received the signal of those ultimates inside the mechanical city?"
"The signal is on...... We've learned a little bit about the inside of the Machine City through the Quantum Communication Channel. Pingyuan replied in a harmonious voice.
"Then this is ......" Yuan Hao blinked.
"This is the closest place to the main engine room area. The main power supply pipeline is just behind the wall. Due to the tight battle situation ahead, the matrix has already transferred eighty percent of the forces guarding this place to the front. Pingyuan briefly explained the situation.
"Get Sarah and Huang Yun ready...... We're going to break the wall. Yuan Hao thought for a moment and ordered in a deep voice.
At this moment, he was less than five hundred meters away from the walls of the Machine City.
The Wyvern was still advancing, but as it advanced, a misty blue light lit up at the base of its left and right wings.
The blue light diffused, and immediately wrapped the two wings of the "flying dragon". An inexplicable wave of turmoil arose, and a thin layer of gray mist was immediately seen converging in front of the "Wyvern", forming a long barrel at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The blue waves lit up in the gray-black barrel at the moment of formation, and were quickly released in three seconds. The blue light is a column, with a "thorn...... The sound of "stabbing la" slammed into the gray-black city wall like a giant bell. Soon, the walls melted. Under the continuous illumination of the blue pillar of light, it was pierced.
Two huge black holes, along with the rapidly solidifying solution around them, faintly reflected the luster of metal. This undoubtedly shows that the material of the walls, such as the tall walls, is made entirely of some kind of hard alloy.
It's not very thick, but it's unusually strong - the strong particle beam that lasted for 2 seconds only pierced through the city wall was enough to show how strong it was.
"It's not big enough!" Yuan Hao frowned slightly.
"We'll do it once!" Sarah and Huang Yun responded in unison.
With the sound of their words in Yuan Hao's mind, the two suspended cannon barrels once again spewed out dazzling pillars of light. This time, the pillar of light lasted for five seconds, and swayed from side to side under the minds of the two men, expanding the two piercing gaps in a circle, further connecting the two gaps together. The diameter of the gap in the city wall is sixteen or seventeen meters, which is completely enough for the "flying dragon" to pass.
Without hesitation, the Wyvern broke into it, and quickly turned the corner and reversed the direction of the mech before turning to the next ring of walls.
"We're now in the gap between the first and second floors. Although the location we entered was very close to the main location of the Machine City, we still had to break through several walls.
Our breakthrough is sure to catch the attention of the owners of the Machine City. So, we have to be careful and careful next. Flying between the walls and feeling the danger of wandering between the lines, Yuan Hao paid special attention to the girls who operated the weapons.
He knew that there were still enemy forces here, and while they were much smaller than they had been at the beginning, they were still enough to drown themselves out. Thankfully, they don't have ranged weapons that threaten them.
Therefore, as long as the girls are more focused, find out where the enemy is as early as possible, and directly destroy the enemy at medium and long distances through the particle cannon embodied by the "Flowing Firefly", it is enough to ensure the safety of the "Flying Dragon" itself. For Yuan Hao's reminder, the two beauties quickly responded in his mind.
"Understood......" Sarah's answer was very calm and calm, but Yuan Hao could fully hear her execution from this calmness. She was originally a quiet woman.
"Leave everything to us!" replied to Sarah, the little girl Huang Yun.
is different from Sarah's calm personality, Huang Yun is the kind of woman who is full of vitality and is lively and active, but her answer sounds quite crisp and neat.
"Very good!" Yuan Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Pingyuan, who controlled the "Flying Dragon": "Open the back hatch, I'm going to attack!"
"Okay!" Pingyuan agreed without objection. This was originally part of the battle plan.
Now that the "Flying Dragon" has arrived at the original expected position, Pingyuan will naturally not temporarily regret changing anything because he is worried about Yuan Hao's safety. She knows how powerful her "master" really is.
Soon, the cargo compartment on the back of the "Wyvern" was opened. Yuan Hao deftly manipulated the Vanguard Gundam, causing it to float out of the cargo compartment and maintain the same relative speed as the "Wyvern".
At this moment, from an outsider's point of view, the huge body of the Vanguard Gundam was like a sword immortal in ancient Chinese legends, firmly stepping on the back of the flying dragon. The Pioneer Gundam sways with the movement of the wyvern and the sway of the wyvern, and it looks quite chic. Of course, being handsome is only incidental.
The reason why Yuan Hao wanted to come outside from the cockpit was to escort the "Flying Dragon" - only Sarah and Huang Yun attacked the enemy through the weapons embodied in the "Liuying", Yuan Hao always felt that it was still a little insufficient. After all, this is the enemy's lair, and the enemy still has some guards here.
In order to deal with these remaining forces, the "Wyvern" urgently needs more and more flexible firepower. And Yuan Hao's Vanguard Gundam is undoubtedly the easiest to do this, it is a mobile suit, which was originally born for close combat. The combination of ace pilot's skills and excellent mechs is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
The comparison between the Vanguard Gundam and the Mechanical Octopus, that encounter a year ago is enough to say it all.
Under Pingyuan's control, the "Wyvern" deftly swam between the walls of the city wall, looking for the weak point of the city wall to reach the next area - the Terminator paratroopers in the mechanical city have been partially wiped out by the mechanical octopus by this time, but more Terminators are still fighting.
One of them approached the wall of the second floor and blasted somewhere in the corner. The blast didn't blast the walls of the wall, but the powerful destructive energy had a slight effect somewhere in the wall.
What Pingyuan has to do now is to manipulate the Wyvern to find this weak link, and then further destroy it. After all, each layer completely relies on the power of the "Flowing Firefly" to destroy it, and the consumption of the "Flowing Firefly" is huge. Whether it was Yuan Hao, Sarah, and Huang Yun at the beginning of the formulation of the battle plan, they regarded "Liuying" as the last force to directly face the central defense line of the matrix.
At that time, they didn't expect that the defense of the matrix would be so retro, directly blocking the "outdated" city wall round after circle, so that Yuan Hao, who broke into it, had to spend a lot of effort to destroy layer after layer of steel barriers.
"Alas...... This is really a troublesome wall!" Feeling the continuous wall, Huang Yun sighed helplessly.
"But, you have to admit, it's a very effective defense...... It can be a nuisance for those of us attackers, and that has proven its success!" Sarah replied with a chuckle.
"That's right!" Huang Yun nodded lightly when she heard this.
Suddenly, they were distracted for a moment. But at the moment when they were distracted, the three-headed swarthy mechanical octopus suddenly discovered the trace of the "Wyvern".
"Enemy!" the mechanical octopus made a simple judgment, the huge camera in the middle of their bodies, flashed a bright red light, confirmed friend and foe, and then waved their thick and flexible tentacles towards the "Wyvern".
Fight when you meet the enemy, this is the order given by the matrix to these octopuses.
