Verse 43 Your helmet

"No, it won't. Monsters still know how to drive empty ships? Xu Yun laughed dryly a few times, but found that all the other people standing around him were frowning and contemplating, obviously no one thought it was funny.

Wei Xiaoyang's judgment is not impossible, in fact, the commanders present have learned or personally experienced several patterns of the Honkai disaster in textbooks.

"The Honkai Calamity now has two distinct modes of advent that stand out:

One is the Honkai Factor Pollution, which aggregates to generate Honkai organisms to achieve physical destruction and invasion.

The other is the erosion of the will mind, which captures the minds of all creatures in the entire descending area and becomes a puppet manipulated by the will of Honkai.

The first pattern is common, and there are always several such disasters breaking out every month in the territory of the Great Blooming Celestial Empire, while the second type is less common and relatively small in scale. ”

"Now, we are facing a catastrophe that most likely will be the second mode of erosion of mental consciousness." Seeing the embarrassed smile on Xu Yunning's face, as well as the real blankness in his eyes, Tao Ni took the initiative to explain.

"It is known that most of the actions of the dead are due to the manipulation of the Honkai will, and although it will also retain part of the consciousness of the aggregate subject when it was a human in life, there is still no exact reference data on how much intelligence level will be retained."

"And the mechanical Honkai monster, after fusing the mechanical part, can indeed hijack the battleship.

After all, at this time, the machine has become a part of their body. Wu Tao continued to analyze

"Now we need to confirm whether the specific situation of the two battleships Hongwu and Yangwei is in line with our conjecture, whether they were eroded by the will of Honkai to control the internal crew, or if the first scenario occurred, giving birth to mechanical Honkai monsters.

Personally, I don't want either of these to happen, but that's naïve in the light of the current situation. Wei Xiaoyang spoke.

It is rare for the captain and the two first mates of the aerospace ship to hold a combat meeting for everyone, and the commanders listened very carefully, although no one dared to speak casually, but they were all thinking about the current situation attentively.

"The No. 1 drone arrived at the final air defense identification zone of the Yangwei, the landing request was sent, and there was no response through the command." Inside the bridge, the co-pilot next to the pilot of the drone combat team loudly reported the latest developments.

"The No. 2 drone is entering the final air defense identification zone of the Hongwu and sending a landing request." Moments later, the co-pilot of No. 2 continued: "There is no response to the command. ”

"Regular contact, and the other two ships did not send on time." Wu Tao looked at the screen of the workbench operated by the communications non-commissioned officer beside him and opened his mouth to report.

"In five minutes, we'll have to send a scheduled contact to the General Command."

Doodoo~Doot~Dood~

The red glow of the warning lights lit up inside the bridge. Everyone looked up at the main projection screen in the center of the bridge command hall, and the screen showed that the alarm was issued by the collapse factor detection instrument from the belly compartment under the Chixiao.

The beeping alarm sounded for only five seconds before it automatically stopped, and the Honkai Factor Detector signal, which had previously sounded the alarm, changed from red alert to green safety.

"Open the Honkai factor protection, close the external gate, the Chixiao, and enter the first-level combat state." Wei Xiaoyang bypassed the workbench and took the escalator back to the captain's seat at the highest position in the command hall.

Immediately after, the red siren flashed again, this time no longer with a warning signal, but with the captain's command.

"The whole ship has entered the first-level combat state, opened the Honkai factor protection, closed the external gate, and asked all crew members to return to work. Repeat: The whole ship enters the first-level combat state, the collapse factor protection is opened, the external gate is closed, and all crew members are invited to return to combat duty. Repeat..."

The siren sounded along with the captain's order, sounding in every corner of the Chixiao's interior, prompting every crew member in the ship to quickly enter the combat position.

And just a dozen seconds after the order was given, the huge glass curtain outer wall facing the bow of the ship hall was covered by the composite armor shell that stretched out from both the lower and upper sides at the same time.

At the same time, the sound of the machine locking up resounded continuously in the Red Sky Ship.

The fusion reactor boosts its energy output, electric current flows through the lines, and various instruments that were previously dormant are activated one after another, and shock waves that are barely discernible to the human ear are transmitted to the battleship.

With a low humming sound, the Chixiao simultaneously unfurled its magnetic energy shield, shielding the protective layer of the Honkai Factor, and sealing the gate for physical blockade.

It can be said that at this time, in addition to not activating the Honkai Energy Shield, the electromagnetic railgun and the Honkai Energy Pulse Ray Main Cannon, all the instruments that can operate the ship have been activated, and even all kinds of instruments in the standby command cabin have also entered the warm-up standby state, and once the command hall above suffers a devastating blow, it can be put into use immediately as a backup command post.

At the same time that the whole ship entered the combat state, Wei Xiaoyang was not idle, he said to everyone with the warning signal and the broadcast of the captain's order:

"The warning signal from the belly compartment just now cannot be a mechanical failure, and the Marine team and maintenance team were immediately dispatched to check and pay attention to equipping a full set of protective combat armor.

We must act immediately, and if we delay any longer, the situation may develop in an irreparable direction. ”

Wei Xiaoyang stood on the high platform of the captain's seat, overlooking the group of Valkyrie commanders standing on the ground of the hall below, and continued to give instructions majestically: "Valkyries are dispatched to Hongwu and Yangwei ships to confirm the specific situation. Be prepared to withdraw at any time, and before confirming the catastrophic situation, the General Staff develops several sets of alternative combat plans. ”

Be!

Everyone saluted in unison, and the Valkyrie commanders withdrew from the bridge command hall in an orderly manner after receiving the order, and took the elevator to the cabin where their posts were located to prepare for battle.

And before that, the Valkyrie had already received instructions to prepare for the attack.

Xu Yun was pulled by Wu Tao and left alone to speak.

"Brother Tao, what are your orders?" Xu Yun looked at Wu Tao, who had a kind face, and asked with a smile.

"Commander Xu, after you lost your memory, this is your first attack, right?" Wu Tao smiled and patted Xu Yun's shoulder, the shoulder of the power exoskeleton was equipped with a spherical shoulder guard shell, and the palm of his hand landed on the cold metal shell, making a slight sound.

"Uh-huh... Doesn't the battle in Canghai City count? Xu Yun paused and asked rhetorically.

This is not easy to answer, Wu Tao paused, and then nodded with a smile: "Count, of course." Blame me for not making it clear, I mean you used a command boat to fight after you lost your memory, this is the first time, right? ”

Speaking of the command boat, although Xu Yun had drilled in and seen the internal structure, if he really wanted him to control the command boat as the chief officer, he would definitely not be able to.

"yes, what, I don't need to attack this time? That dare, I just went out to wash the deck. Xu Yun said, raised the long-handled automatic brush in his hand, and the dozens of kilograms of brush were easily lifted up and shook twice by him with one hand.

Seeing that Wu Tao's pupils couldn't help shrinking, the physical strength of the person in front of him was probably not stronger than that of the Valkyrie.

When is it all the time, and you still want to wash the deck?

"No, that's not what I meant. I want to say that in this operation, I will arrange for Gao Hong to partner with you, and you will be the adjutant and cooperate with him well, and drive a command boat forward to support the Valkyrie in battle. Wu Tao hurriedly waved his hand and explained with a smile.

"By the way, the two aerospace battleships, Hongwu and Yangwei, do you think which one is better? Since it's the same wherever you go, why don't you pick a pleasing one and I'll arrange for you to go there? Wu Tao blinked.

"Okay, Brother Tao is righteous. Then let's take advantage of it, let us borrow its name, and also show off. Xu Yun smiled and gently hit Wu Tao's shoulder with his fist.

The iron armor fist and Wu Tao's chest uniform collided, and a circle of ripples spread outward on the uniform made of synthetic fabric, and then Wu Tao didn't even have time to react, and the whole person flew out in a large shape.

Clank~Clank~Bang~!

Wu Tao, who flew out, knocked down the pilot who was operating the drone on the side of the drone combat team, and the two rolled and installed the console.

The co-pilot was quick and immediately took over the control of the drone, but because of the collision just now, the drone still made irregular air movements.

On the display screen of the console, a series of red alert prompts appeared, and the siren sounded, indicating that the drone was attacked.

However, luck seems to be on the side of the Chixiao drone, because of a series of irregular aerial movements just now, the drone dodged the initial attack of the close defense artillery and flew out of the Hongwu's final air defense identification zone.

After leaving this airspace, the automatic anti-aircraft weapon platform on the Hongwu stopped tracking and attacking, but the muzzle of the close-in defense gun was still locked on the drone, and it continued to move with it.

"We were attacked by anti-aircraft weapons from the Hongwu and are now disengaging and returning." After the co-pilot identified the current situation, cold sweat instantly welled up on his forehead.

uh·····

Xu Yun looked at the fist he was raising in mid-air, he was sure that he just wanted to gently tap the other party's chest to show closeness, he didn't expect this.

He hurriedly bowed and apologized to Wu Tao, who was stacked on top of each other with the drone pilot and fell to the ground, but Wu Tao, who was pressed underneath, obviously fainted at this time and couldn't accept this apology.

Hearing the voice, there were immediately soldiers who had entered the first level of combat readiness and were fully armed and rushed into the bridge, they were stationed at the entrance of the passage outside the command hall, and they did not know the specific situation in the hall.

After rushing into the bridge hall, he saw the first mate and the pilot of the drone crew who fell to the ground unconscious, as well as the damaged instruments and seats, and instantly opened the safety and pulled the bolt.

The first mate was one of the most important of the top brass of the Chixiao battleship, and his attack was a big deal.

"What's going on?! The bridge was attacked..."

As soon as the shouting arrived, the soldier's words were stopped by the gesture of Tawney's index finger on his lips.

"I'll handle the matter here, you can send them to the medical warehouse to check their injuries and treat them." Adjutant Tao commanded.

The majesty of Adjutant Tao was not lost to Adjutant Wu Tao in the eyes of the soldiers, and the soldiers pointed their guns at the ground deck, closed the insurance, and then stood up and saluted, and then returned to their posts to get a stretcher, and cooperated in pairs to carry Wu Tao and the drone pilot away from the coma.

Xu Yun was pulled aside by Tao Ni, did not blame, but after being told some of the details of the operation, he followed Gao Hong, who was waiting at the door of the elevator room and had not left, to the Valkyrie command cabin to prepare for the battle.

The command bay used by the Valkyrie commander is also in the bridge tower, one level below the bridge command hall. Xu Yun and Gao Hong took the elevator down, stood in and watched the gate door close, and felt that the elevator would fall a short distance downward, and the gate of the elevator box opened again with a clang.

Compared to the bridge hall on the upper floor, the area of this Valkyrie tactical command room is not inferior in any way, but the dome above is much lower, only about the same height as the floor of an ordinary apartment.

Naturally, there will not be that kind of huge stereoscopic tactical projection screen.

The space in the Valkyrie tactical command room is much more spacious than the bridge command hall on the upper floor, and the equipment on display is mainly the nine capsule cockpits placed in the center of the hall and the commissioning, operation, monitoring and other equipment and workbenches around the capsule-shaped cockpit.

Under the leadership of Gao Hong, Xu Yun entered the locker room at the back of the command room.

took the big box that Gao Hong pushed to himself, "Press this button, aim your eyes here, you can open it, your fingerprint and iris data have been entered, except for you, I'm afraid only the maintenance engineer can open this box." After pushing the box to Xu Yun, Gao Hong pointed to the box in front of him that was exactly the same in shape and taught Xu Yun how to open it.

As Gao Hong instructed, the inside of the large box sounded the fine clicking sound of the bracket and gears running. After a few seconds, the lid of the box automatically opened, revealing a set of space gray alloy armor neatly arranged with mechanical brackets inside.

This thing looks like a new product that has just appeared, and when Xu Yun's fingers touched the surface coating of the matte treated armor, the oil on the armor shell parts had not been completely wiped clean.

"Here's your helmet." Gao Hong solemnly placed the other sealed box in front of Xu Yun.

The same unlocking process requires the use of Xu Yun's own fingerprints and iris, which once again gives Xu Yun the feeling that these are his own unique equipment.

Snort~, the sealed box opens.
