Chapter 193: Out on a mission
Opinions were unanimous, and everyone agreed with Xiao Ming.
Bordeaux smiled and stretched out his hand to Xiao Ming: "Welcome, Xiao Ming, you have become a member of our 177 squad!" After a pause, he looked at Remidios again: "Remidios, we are not targeting you, it's just that I don't think you want to be separated from Xiao Ming, so let's cooperate with Xiao Ming, no matter which position he plays, you follow up with which?"
Remidios was originally worried that he and Xiao Ming would be in different positions, but now when he heard Podol say this, he immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, captain, I will definitely work very hard and will not cause trouble to everyone!"
Everyone laughed good-naturedly, the previous two combat missions had proved that Xiao Ming and Remidios would not cause trouble for everyone, and then, it was up to the two of them to show how much strength they could play. And the two with A-level strength, everyone believes that this will be an opportunity for the 177 team.
An opportunity to improve everyone's military merits, and then everyone to improve their strength together.
The ambitions of the soldiers of 177 are very ordinary, they want to kill more insects, accumulate more military merits, and then accept upgrades and improve their strength. And after improving their strength, their most simple wish is to kill more bugs.
"Alright, we'll be off in two hours. Xiao Ming, use this time to see if you have anything else to prepare. I don't think you seem to like the look of a standard sword, do you want a weapon of your own, if you need it, you should have time to build one now. Podor said, twisting and turning to the others: "Brothers, don't hide any extra good materials, take them all out!"
"I've got a vibranium here. Nice stuff. But this thing isn't a good weapon!" the cannon pulled out a large piece of metal.
"I have Ayman Alloy from the last bet I made with the big head of Team 37. This is a good thing to make a sword!" another member of Oin's team pulled out a large piece of metal.
"Hey, hey. I've got the shell of a beetle here, oh, how about it, you envy it!" another team member took out the smug.
"Your abilities are better suited to being a sharper blader, and heavier weapons are best suited. Hans said as he pulled out a few pieces of metal, all of which were rare and good.
The army gives the soldiers standard weapons, and if you don't like it, you want to have a weapon of your own. Then you have to produce your own materials, and the army can help with the processing, but even if it is processing, you must have enough points. And these points are things that are exchanged for military merits, so many soldiers get good things, and they will not build weapons randomly, but will collect them and exchange them for points.
In the military, only B-rank fighters prefer to use personal weapons, and D-class fighters mostly use standard weapons.
Talking. Suddenly, a transport robot came to the station of Team 177 and said in the mechanical synthetic electronic voice, "Soldier Xiao Ming." Number XD2358798, your stuff has arrived, please sign for it immediately!"
Everyone was stunned, why did a transport robot suddenly send something to Xiao Ming?
Xiao Ming stepped forward to sign for it, and then took out a small thing from the robot's body.
"What is this? Looks like ...... Antique spear?" Hans looked at the thing that had been tightly wrapped in a wrapper, with some confusion.
"Xiao Ming, is this your weapon?" Cannon asked.
"Yes, I applied for a weapon before I came, and it seems that the movement on it is not too slow!" Xiao Ming smiled and ripped the wrapping cloth open, revealing the body of the gun.
It is an ancient spear, the style is the style of the Yajiao gun, using a special combination of Emman alloy and vibranium steel, although in Xiao Ming's opinion, this thing can barely be used, but this is already a super strong alloy combination in 2533.
"Good fellow, this thing weighs hundreds of pounds. So heavy!" Cannon stammered, lifting the spear.
Although it is a power-type transformer, it will not use such a heavy spear, and generally speaking, heavy weapons refer to things that are about a hundred catties, like a weapon of hundreds of catties, which is rarely used. After all, the weight of a weapon increases its power, but it also increases its burden.
"Either way, it's good to have a weapon. Since you have chosen this weapon, I think you must be sure. I won't say much, but you have to remember that on the battlefield, you must not be a hero!" Bodol carefully confessed.
"Don't worry, captain, I'll pay attention!" Xiao Ming knew that Podol cared about himself, so he didn't look impatient.
No one asked Remidios why she didn't want weapons, and now everyone regarded her as Xiao Ming's henchman. Since the beginning of the Age of Reinforcement, mental illness has become one of the biggest problems of human beings, and Remidios looks like he has a heart disease, so the warriors of 177 don't ask much.
After another hour, a new mission was issued, and Team 177 was to go to the Puda area of Sinowei to carry out a strangulation operation.
Sinovi is very large, if compared with the original earth, it is three points three times larger than the earth, which means that Sinowei is very vast, and it will take a long time for humans to clean up the insects here, and the insects are not said to be killed and gone, as long as the mother worm is not found, then the insects will always kill as many as they want, and even as long as the human beings relax a little, then the speed of killing insects may not be as fast as the speed of the mother worms.
So there is only one way for humans to do this kind of thing, and that is to eliminate the mother worm.
Mother worms and broods are essentially the same, but they are different. If the mother nest is the emperor of a national treasure, then the mother worm is at most the mayor of a city, and the power is completely different. It's much easier to kill a mother than a nest.
What humans generally call consuming insect nests is actually the mother of insects that is killed. As for the brood, humans and insects have been at war for thousands of years, and the number of broods has not exceeded three digits.
The Puda region is one of the most inhospitable areas of Sinovi, where a local war has been fought for three months, and the military headquarters has announced that the main force of the swarm here has been wiped out, but the mother worm has not been found. After losing their main force, the swarm began to dive underground for most of the time. The military department can only keep sending a strangulation team to find the whereabouts of the worm mother.
In fact, third-rate squads like 177 are not tasked with killing the Mother Worm. Instead, they are searching, and as long as they are found, they will send a request for support, and then naturally there will be masters or main forces to clear them.
The 177 squad did not act alone, in fact, the entire 9th Brigade and 3rd Regiment of the Seventh Army received the same task, and then were scattered on the vast land of Pudana, the elite squad would be responsible for the search of underground and complex terrain, and the third-rate squad like 177 was responsible for ground reconnaissance.
Encountering bugs is inevitable, depending on when you encounter them.
Sinoveone's gravity is a bit lower than that of Earth-like natural planets. But this does not mean that humans will become superhuman on Sinovea, in fact, on the contrary, in the high gravity environment allowed by the body, human beings are more adaptable, but in the low gravity environment, it seems that everything becomes very easy, but in fact it will be very uncomfortable, especially when fighting, its error rate is far greater than in the high gravity environment.
Think about the situation of a human warrior in space without the help of power assist systems and azimuth orientation systems, and you can see what the effects of low gravity are.
To solve this problem, the power armor is equipped with a gravity stabilization system. This will make the gravity felt by the warriors be the same as that of the Earth-like natural planets. However, the gravity stabilization system itself is not very stable, and it is notoriously problematic. That's why many of the soldiers on the front line of Sinowei will turn off the gravity stabilization system. as a backup system, and a more efficient way to solve the gravity problem.
Weight gain.
Sinowei's gravity is only about twice as low as that of Earth-like natural planets, and the impact is not too great, so as long as the fighters use a weight that is twice as heavy as normal equipment, there is basically no problem. And all this extra weight is used for external defenses.
This will not only better solve the gravity problem with the gravity stabilization system, but also increase its own defense.
I have to say that the survival wisdom of the fighters is not comparable to the utopian designers sitting in the research room in the back. Maybe the fighters don't understand so much theory, but when it comes to practice, they are much stronger.
"Brothers, we've entered the bug-controlled area, and from now on, everyone cheers up, I don't want to carry anyone's corpse back!" said Podor in a deep voice, looking at all the members.
"Yes!" said the same thing to Podol every time he started his mission, but no one ever thought him was verbose.
"Xiao Ming, you and Remidios are Hans's wingmen. Remember, don't be impulsive when you spot bugs, and be sure to listen to commands. There are bugs, and I'm not afraid that I won't have to kill them!" Podol told Xiao Ming and Remidios one more sentence, after all, this is the first time that the two of them have officially cooperated with the team, and it must be fake if you don't worry about it at all.
"Understood, Captain!" Xiao Ming nodded, and Remidios followed Hans at the front of the line.
"Hey, I don't know if Xiao Ming will be nervous about killing insects for the first time. I was so nervous about killing insects for the first time!" Cannon's personality didn't resemble his nickname at all, this guy was a bit like Ladon, and the giant tenderness was specifically used to describe people like them.
"Nervous? You mean you threw up. One of the team members watched the surroundings and launched a spit attack.
"Yes? Why don't I remember?" Big Mouth, if you talk nonsense, I'm fighting with you!" Cannon said with a glare.
Everyone seems to be very relaxed, but in fact, it is not, the team member in charge of reconnaissance is carrying a holographic scanning system, although it is far less advanced than the holographic scanning system 300 years later, but at least most of the insects within 500 meters can be found. But some hidden bugs can't help it.
And this requires the experience of the fighters.
But this time they have Xiao Ming here, and the search range of five thousand meters is gorgeously thrown out of any kind of individual holographic scanning system in this era, and any movement cannot hide Xiao Ming's search. However, in order not to exaggerate too much, although Xiao Ming found the insect from a long distance, he never spoke.
Unless the team's scanning system wasn't working, or it was a critical moment, he wasn't going to speak.
The bugs entered a distance of four hundred meters, and the scout's scanning system finally sounded the alarm.
"There are bugs, fifteen of them, in a semicircular formation, the lowest spider worms. Looks like these disgusting bugs are going to surround us!" the scout's name is Marcus, and he is known as Big Mouth because of his wide mouth and the fact that he can hit his cheeks with a grin.
"The right amount, Xiao Ming, do you want to try it?" Bodol looked at Xiao Ming. (To be continued......)
