Chapter 348: Secret Facilities (2)
At this point, Ral also regretted his choice a little. He should at least send a team from the surface to block the entrance to this facility. But with only four classes under his hands, he really can't draw more people. After consolidating his position, he tried to lead his men deep into the facility several more times, but either received the news that Miles was under attack or was chased and intercepted by multiple enemy squads.
Lal had to give up his plans to go deeper into the facility for the time being, waiting for news from Isaac later. The captured enemy should at least be able to tell them where the key parts of the facility are, so that he can force them to assemble forces to fight him, destroying the enemy's living forces and clearing the way to search the facility.
Isaac didn't live up to his expectations, and the two Marines who had carried the man over soon returned with good news. Isaac did have some trouble, at first he found that his psionic powers were completely ineffective, and then he had the two Marines who were holding him search and found the source to be a badge on the chest of his shirt. After taking it off, Isaac used his psionic energy to read the man's heart almost instantly.
This secret facility is a secret laboratory of the UED, ostensibly an underground storage facility for Sirius Research. This person is not actually a Yomoyan at all, he is a serious earthling from Earth, a geoscientist sent by UED, who has been working for UED on Yomoyan long before the Brood War broke out.
The main research direction of this secret facility is to study the various types of Yumayan weapons and equipment sent by Sirius Research, to identify weaknesses, to identify the high technology needed for UED, and to try to reverse research and replicate the technology for use by UED. The facility has been in operation for at least seven years and has provided UED with a wealth of the technical information and equipment data they need. Given that it is almost impossible to transmit data streams across star sectors at the current state of the art, all of their data is sent on their behalf by Sirius Research headquarters.
However, there is a small problem, although the general structure of the facility can be read out by reading the mind...... But he didn't know what to tell the Marines who were waiting for him, he couldn't draw a plan, because he couldn't use a computer or draw a drawing, he didn't even know how to draw a simple map that a human could understand—and no one would teach hybrids. As a last resort, he tried to find out where their blast was, and then pointed them to a route to several important points in the facility, including generators, a security center, and a real storage facility, as well as a control room.
Because time was short, Isaac dug them up. He said he would continue to read minds, but he urged them to go back and report first, and then hurry up and take down the facility first. If there was a new discovery, he would ask the troops who stayed here to send someone to inform them.
When the news arrived, Ral repelled another attack.
After learning this good news, Lal immediately decided to concentrate his troops, gathered the three squads he led, and rushed to the control room and the security center together, forcing the other party to fight a decisive battle.
Unsurprisingly, Ral and his troops were stopped by enemy forces before they could reach the control room. Relying on the narrow corridor of the facility, Lal used the stealthy raid of the jumping worms to create a lot of chaos within the enemy forces. At the same time, relying on the strong carapace advantage of the two cockroaches, it attracted enough firepower to allow its troops to calmly fire at the enemy.
After about fifteen minutes of firefighting, the opposing side was forced to drop a dozen corpses and retreat, some of which retreated to the control room. Ral instructed the soldiers to place explosives on the falling security door to blow it open, and then threw smoke grenades directly into the control room, and then let the remaining hoppers attack the control room.
I have to say that the more I use it, the more Lahr likes these jumping worms. As an enemy, Ral did hate these guys very much. But when they are allies and obedient, they can play a stronger role than anything else. In such an environment obscured by smoke bombs, only these guys with strong battlefield environment perception can play without restrictions, and they can only try to risk a hand-to-hand encounter with thermal imaging in the heat imaging system, God knows how heavy the casualties will be.
It wasn't until the last jumping worm sent a message that there was no danger that Ral entered the control room with his command team.
As the smoke cleared, the terrifying scene in the control room gradually appeared in front of everyone, the dumped corpses, soaked almost the entire room floor with blood, and even stumps and uneaten internal organs. Thanks to the Power Armor's self-circulation system, which can keep these disgusting smells out, otherwise the smell of blood alone would be enough for them to drink a pot.
Passing by them were well-fed hoppers, summoned by their owners and rearranged in the hallways to prevent them from gathering their forces to fight back at them.
There were a lot of consoles in the control room, but only the only technical sergeant in the platoon brought by Lal could understand what they were used for. But most of them are useless, and Ral hopes to find some automatic defenses that can be used to see if they can be used for himself.
It would have been a bit difficult to figure out the structure of the huge control room with just one person, but fortunately, the technical sergeant had found a floor plan of the secret facility, and with this floor plan, they could finally get around without a clue.
The floor plan indicates that the facility has three floors, with the second and middle floors in the middle, and the upper floors being the storehouses on the surface of the facility for storing miscellaneous items and various household supplies and research materials needed by Sirius. The lower level is mainly where the reactor and maintenance rooms are located, and there are some large experimental sites. The second floor where they are located is the main personnel gathering place, and the personnel dormitories, the main laboratories, and various command and control facilities are all built on the second floor, which is probably why they were met with heavy fire almost the moment they broke in.
At the same time, the Techno Sergeant also told Lahr that there was only a limit to what the control room could do, and that they should seize the security center as soon as possible, and that the gate, the facility's external gates, the facility's monitoring system, and the control of many automated defense systems were there, and that they should go to raid there as soon as possible. Once the security center was occupied, the facility essentially fell into their hands.
