Chapter 860: Starfish on Land
Although super robots are a kind of romance, they can't exist in reality, after all, we can't find the kind of metal that is both extremely strong and very light to manufacture, and its weight alone is enough to make the road surface all kinds of Yali mountains bigger if replaced by ordinary steel. However, this problem is solved by Amethyst, perhaps its protection ability is not reliable, but its recovery ability is first-class, and its weight is very light, which is barely acceptable as a crafting material.
Of course, an enemy attack like the main character in the anime doesn't even wipe the flowers, and this will never happen to our crystal body, so if you don't pay attention to the Job, you may be torn apart by the enemy's continuous fire, and you won't even have a chance to recover.
I'm worried that this huge mecha of the Federation will be confused by the other party during the battle because of the height of the people and the lack of protection, and the size of the body is bigger than the mountain and the material of tofu dregs, this is simply an excellent moving target.
But when I actually saw the legendary Job, I realized that this was not the case.
The mech is indeed large, but it is not the humanoid shape of the mecha. The height of the girl is about the same as that of an ordinary skyscraper, and the whole thing looks like a starfish crawling on the ground, without the appearance of a mecha at all, but the designer of this thing never thought of building a super robot from the beginning, and the purpose of tinkering with a ground weapon suitable for providing a lot of firepower is its purpose.
Nafuga, what about your fan status of a good fighter movie?
Well, AI girls have to consider all kinds of factors after all, as a designer, and it's not surprising that the Job is tinkered like this. For example, it is much lower than the mobile fortress of Mantius, which is effective in hiding itself and reducing the chance of being hit by artillery fire, and in the center of the body is a disc with five "feet" extending out of it, and under the disc and these toes are mounted many tires and even levitators. It offers decent mobility and can even make real irregular movements, and is covered in thick crystals that look like crab shells, which can withstand attacks from high-powered weapons.
Finally, underneath the crab shell, a triple cannon is mounted on the disc, and the five feet are on the tips of a cuboid-like platform, three of which are equipped with the same triple cannon. One seems to be a laser weapon, and the other is empty for some reason, in addition to the main disc, the five platforms, and even the legs of the fuselage are equipped with many small artillery pieces and anti-aircraft missiles, and once the fire is fully fired, it will definitely turn into a huge hedgehog, and the flying unit is estimated to not even be able to get close.
This thing is simply a mobile firepower platform, and the firepower of one of them is enough to match a fleet including battleships, and it is simply a formidable monster. However, if you think about it, this kind of design that emphasizes firepower is also deliberate, after all, it is not a matter of a day or two for humans to crave powerful weapons when facing small monsters - not to mention that fire support and suppression are the housekeeping skills of the Federation, how could the Job, as their product, not carry this forward?
Actually, I could barely accept it up to this point, but when the Osprey with the crew flew over the empty foot of the Job, and then the surface of the thing opened the deck to reveal the landing platform hidden inside and the two neat rows of Sparrow VTOL fighters nearby. I finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"What kind of crazy weapon do you crazy people want to build!?" The whole person was messy in the wind in an instant, and I didn't care that the plane was landing, and rushed straight to Saria, shouting loudly, almost spitting on the girl's face, "It's not that you can make a mess with the title of super system on the body, and think a little about the psychological tolerance of ordinary people!"
"Well, in fact, after seeing the look of horror on your face, I was pretty convinced that the Job was perfect. Saizeriya ignored my embarrassed expression and said indifferently, "How is it, are you going to be ready to worship?"
Emilina reached out and dragged me back to my seat, "Don't make a fuss. Sit tight. Overall, the Job should be your limit, not a mature work, but far beyond the Alliance's expectations of you. Next, it will not be very difficult to behave well in the battle, gain our respect, and establish diplomatic relations smoothly. In addition, Zhou Yi, in a confrontation of this level and scale, your Blood Curse Soul Carving Strike is basically useless, so don't think about running near the enemy's fortress and pretending to be handsome, and no one will help you collect the corpse when the time comes. ”
"I know I know, this time I'm going to face the entire army instead of a single boss, and we can't get into the range of 5 scum at all. I shrugged my shoulders and sighed. "But Amilina, what if those batwinged troops rush out and join the battle before we can take the enemy fortress?"
The blonde girl shook her head disapprerovingly: "This possibility is very small, demons usually wait until the last defeat of both warring sides before appearing, they have never been in the habit of taking the lead in person, so Zhou Yi, you don't have to worry about this." OK。 You and Saizeriya have arrived at the station, go down. Be careful, and see you when it's all over. ”
The accompanying Federation soldiers helped open the hatch, and although I felt a little uneasy, I could only get up and leave the transport plane with Saliya, and look up to see it take off again and disappear from sight.
"Welcome to the Job. A middle-aged uncle who was neatly dressed and didn't smile and looked a little cold took the initiative to greet more than a dozen people, "I'm the commander-in-chief here, Jace, as long as Zhou Yi doesn't just press the switch around, I think we will get along very happily." ”
This uncle seems to be slightly younger than Colonel Kjerre, but his rank is a major general, which is a bit of a small surprise. But what really surprised us was that this thing was a rear admiral of the Navy, and I just didn't know what those guys in the Federation thought.
Didn't they really think of the Job as a ship...... But this is also a helpless thing, there is no time to train new crew members in such a short time, and the Federation is estimated to have got the entire crew of a certain aircraft carrier on the Job. Well, it feels like one aircraft carrier is not enough to estimate, maybe there are several other ships?
Really, it wouldn't have taken so much effort to hand it over to Nafuga to help control it. There is no need to work so hard, can't they trust the AI girl once?
"Rest assured, Mr. Major General. I resolutely raised my right hand and replied with a serious face, "I have a very deep understanding of the fact that I have a special constitution that will press the self-destruct switch if I don't get it right, so I will never press the switch casually." ”
Saria, who was next to me, stepped on me quietly.
Jace didn't pay any attention to me, instead turning his gaze to the short-haired blond, "Miss Silas." You are in charge of Zhou Yi during the time he is on the airframe, right?"
"Of course, I proposed it, after all. ”
Mr. Major General turned around, walked forward with his feet raised, and said, "Then follow me, I think you must have enough interest in the command center of the Job. I'm a layman in land warfare, so if you have any ideas, Zhou Yi, you can just say it, and Miss Silas is too, and I'll leave it to you for any magical attacks that the enemy may take. ”
Saizeriya and I nodded in understanding, and Jace retracted his head in satisfaction. The uncle's personality was not as easy-going and funny as Colonel Kjer's, and he was able to reprimand his subordinates for a daily routine, and he always felt depressed to be around him. However, everyone also trusts him, which is also due to his character.
After all, the Job is the first super body of all mankind, and it is more reliable to choose someone with a stable personality than to have a passionate person who has the potential to stab Lou Zi as the commander.
Jace and his men took me and the short blonde to a train station. I'm not kidding, it's a train station - two rails that cross the long legs of the fuselage connect the main disc and the weapon platform, and people and supplies are transported by different trains running on the tracks.
Well, it's better than taking a taxi inside your own space battleship anyway, right?
Ahem. The one who just went to the stage doesn't count. Anyway, I was completely numb to the sheer size of the Job on this trip, until Jace brought us into the command center. Its special design made me curious and amazed again.
A screen that surrounds the commander's seat in 360 degrees shows the scene around the airframe, and everything is clear at a glance. Not only that, but the Federation has also arranged for five pilots, each corresponding to one leg of the mech, which Jace can switch at any time when he decides which leg to use as the main direction of travel. Takes the Job's flexibility to the next level.
However, this design is still not necessary, because Nafuga can assist with the handling, and the processing speed is certainly not slow, as long as there is a driver.
There are also a lot of people sitting in the fire control area, and I don't want to comment on that anymore. After all, people clearly don't trust AI. I can't help it if they have to do that.
"How's the situation going?" Jace, who had stepped into his position, asked the soldier who seemed to be an adjutant who had taken the initiative to get out of the way, "Has anything changed on the enemy's side?"
"No, sir. The opposing fortress raised its shield after the previous counterattack, and remained silent for the rest of the day. By the way, the fleet they were expecting to attack the island also stopped, perhaps waiting for us to take the initiative to observe?"
"It would be a prudent idea to choose a backhand without knowing the exact performance of the Job, so we would as well keep it silent. ”
I can understand Jace's intentions, he intends to wait for the Alliance and Mantius to decide the battle in the air. It would be best for the alliance to win, so that they would have a greater chance of dealing with the fortress, and if they accidentally got into a hard battle, it would be a good thing for them to go and help the leader earn some favors, so why not?
The idea is very good, but unfortunately things often don't go as expected. Now it is supposed to be a time for the two sides to compete with each other, but the enemy fortress in what appears to be a drone shot from high in the sky suddenly has a new movement. I saw that it suddenly reversed its direction and raised the barrel of a door, and spat out dazzling tongues of fire one after another, obviously shelling somewhere.
"Where is the enemy's target!?" Jace immediately shouted when he saw this, "Isn't this a test of us? If the other side starts shelling the city, we can only choose to meet it, all ready!"
"Sir, radar tracked the other side's shells. One of the soldiers turned to Jace with a shocked look on his face and reported, "The drop is near us......
Before I finished speaking, I felt a significant vibration on the floor under my feet, and the screen was about ten meters away from the body, and the flames and smoke suddenly rose from the sky, and even the picture trembled.
"Hell, how did the other side lock on to our position?" Jace ordered methodically after settling down in his position, "Start maneuvering laterally while counterattacking the enemy!" Send out warplanes to search the nearby airspace to see if any flies have come in." ”
The floor shook again, only more violently than before, and the roar of the cannons could be clearly heard, which was caused by the main guns of the Job. I can't imagine what it would be like to be outside listening to it shelling, and maybe to be deaf on the spot.
"The shell was fired and hit about half a minute later. ”
"Very well, keep an eye on me. ”
Hearing Jace's conversation with his subordinates, I felt something unusual, and I didn't immediately understand what was causing my doubts, but I was infected by the tension around me, and my brain gradually went blank.
Unlike the tension of fighting alone or playing soy sauce behind Emilina, this is the tension that can only be experienced when you really risk your life, and it is also collective, and the small individual can only be coerced and swallowed in the face of it.
Unconsciously, I suddenly subconsciously turned my head to look at Saizeriya next to me - you must know that the girl has always been in this tension to direct others to fight, most of the time when she wants to come to the battle to make some nonsensical daily life is simply unimaginable and unserious, no wonder the short blonde hair was so unkind to see me before.
Today is such a rare opportunity, I need to teach myself a good lesson. (To be continued.) )
