Chapter Fifty-Six: The Broadsword of Test Machine No. 2
After Tom finished filling out the list, the old Huang of the warehouse said to the fat man with a grin: "I'm sorry, the martial arts mecha assigned to the second section have been received by Section Chief Bai's action team." Now I have to grieve you, and I'll just use the one you used when you participated in the race. ”
Tom pursed his lips and said, "That mecha doesn't even have a cannon, do you want me to go to the battlefield and use my fists to fight other people's cannons and missiles?" ”
Lao Huang walked towards the warehouse and said with a smile: "Don't worry! In the afternoon, Section Chief Bai had already asked a mechanic to come over and reinstall the fire control system and energy shield system of that mecha, so that you would not be allowed to go to the battlefield bare-assed. ”
As he spoke, Lao Huang led Tom into the innermost iron door of the warehouse, where the silver-white testing machine No. 2 was quietly docked on the maintenance steel frame.
Lao Huang looked at the antique mecha, sighed, and said, "I'll lend this mecha to you to go to Basel, the old man has taken a big risk!" As he spoke, he touched his trouser pocket, which contained a thick envelope that Bai Jie had quietly stuffed into him just now.
Tom saw that an energy cannon had been installed on the No. 2 robotic arm of the testing machine at this time, and the caliber seemed to be not small, so he asked, "What kind of cannon is this for me?" ”
"Uh, mechcannon!" Lao Huang thought for a moment and replied.
"Nonsense!"
"Hey! I don't know what the name of this mecha energy cannon is, but this cannon is definitely the original product of this mecha, and the caliber is 57mm. When the time comes, hold on to it and be careful with the bore! After all, it's an old antique from more than 200 years ago. Lao Huang persuaded him with good words.
It's an old-fashioned guy, but it's better to have a weapon than nothing!
Tom relieved himself, climbed into the cockpit, turned on the power system of the mech, and maneuvered the mech to stand up from the maintenance steel frame.
A red light flashed around the necklace around Tom's neck, but unfortunately the fat man was concentrating on piloting the mecha and didn't notice it at all.
The moment the mecha started, Lao Huang below seemed to see a little red light flash in the mecha's eyes.
He rubbed his eyes, but when he opened them again, the mech's eyes were normal, so he must have been dizzy from the old age just now.
Tom pressed the green button on the newly installed device in the cockpit first, turned on the energy shield system and tried it, and there was no problem.
Then he manipulated the mechanical arm to lift the mecha cannon, wanting to try the fire control system of this mecha again, but saw that the warehouse Lao Huang was so frightened that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Bastard! If you want to test it, get out there and try it! Do you want to knock down Lao Tzu?! ”
The stupid fat man touched his head and thought about it, what Lao Huang said was right, so he drove the mecha towards the outside of the warehouse.
Bai Jie on the training ground had been waiting impatiently, and finally saw Tom finally come out in a mecha for a long time, so he turned on the megaphone on the brave mecha and shouted, "What are you still rubbing?" Hurry up and load me with the mech, we won't be able to catch the spaceship! ”
Tom fixed his eyes on it, except for Bai Jie's brave mecha on the training ground, the rest of the mecha had been loaded into the trailer, and there were only two left, him and Bai Jie.
The fat man, who knew that he was going to be scolded again this time, quickly manipulated the mecha to run behind the butts of the remaining two trailers, and lay the mecha into one of them.
More than an hour later, the towing convoy carrying 22 mechs from the Second Operations Section on this mission arrived at a military interstellar space port on the outskirts of the city.
After getting off the car, the action team, under the command of Bai Jie, checked the mecha's systems and equipment one last time, and then began to board the ship in a procession.
This is a medium-sized military transport ship of the Saitan Federation, and when all the mechs of the Intelligence Bureau are loaded on the ship, it will immediately take off and fly towards Ophiuchus.
According to the plan, the ship will first go to Ophiuchus to join the combined fleet of the Federation's 3rd and 4th space carriers, and then choose the opportunity to go to the occupied planet Basel.
In the cargo hold of the transport ship, all the men in black docked their mechs on a special steel frame, and then jumped out of the cockpit one after another and began to assemble on the deck of the cargo hold.
Only Tom's mech stayed on the deck after he boarded the ship.
Bai Jie shouted a few times below, and when she saw that there was no movement, she grabbed the communicator and called a few more words, but there was still no response.
At this point, Tom's attention was completely drawn to the new features on the testing machine 2.
He noticed that there was an extra row of buttons on the console, and the big red button was definitely the energy cannon's launch switch, and the last big green button was the energy shield switch, which was undoubted. But what are the remaining little yellow buttons for?
Confused, Tom pressed the first yellow button.
"Brush!"
Test Machine No. 2 pulled out a thick-backed machete with a length of three meters, a width of more than half a meter, and a foldable and retractable from the protective armor on its back!
The men in black below were all shocked!
I have never seen a mecha equipped with this kind of weapon, and the average military mecha uses an alloy ion light knife, and at most some medium-sized mechs with relatively large size use ion light knives, which may be larger and longer than light mechas.
But now the thick-backed machete pulled out by Tom's mecha looks a bit like the kind of pig-killing knife often used by butchers in the pork stalls in the vegetable market, but the size of his one is even more terrifying.
And this machete does not emit a faint blue ionic light like an ordinary alloy ion light knife, so in the eyes of the men in black, this is an ordinary machete of pure metal, except that it looks a little scary, it doesn't seem to be of much use.
The mecha's Alloy Ion Light Knife can not only break through the opponent's mecha's energy shield, but also easily cut through the alloy protective armor. If you take this old metal machete and ionizer and slam it lightly, I'm afraid this scaring thing will be shattered in no time!
Bai Jie was also stunned for a moment at first, but she thought about it, this mecha was an old antique from more than two hundred years ago, and it is estimated that there was no weapon like an alloy ion light knife in that era, right?
At this moment, the curious baby inside the testing machine No. 2 pressed the second yellow button.
"Buzz!"
A red light began to light up from the hilt of the blade, reaching the tip of the machete!
In an instant, the black, old-looking thick-backed machete just now suddenly turned into a light knife with a dazzling red light all over its body, and it was the kind of super large model!
At the same time, the eyes of the head of the No. 2 mecha of the test machine also turned blood red!
All the men in black on the deck below, including Bai Jie and Annie, were stunned!
With a height of only 4.2 meters and a weight of only 12 tons, the test machine No. 2 is half a head shorter than the light skeleton mecha of the Vilia Empire, so it can participate in the civil mecha competition. The maximum armor thickness is unknown, but it is estimated that it is not much thicker than that small size.
But now that the mechanical arm has copied this three-meter-long huge red light knife, the testing machine No. 2 at this moment looks as if it is a mighty god of war who has just traveled from ancient times to the modern era, and it is domineering and majestic for a while!
At this time, Tom in the cockpit of A-A also saw the terrifying giant red light knife on the mechanical arm, which startled him a lot!
Tom didn't dare to try again with the few yellow buttons, so he quickly turned off the knife, shrunk the machete back into his back, and then opened the hatch and jumped onto the deck.
Bai Jie and the men in black were still looking at the test machine No. 2 in a daze, and the fat man said "yo" several times before everyone came back to their senses.
"What was that?" Mike, the pilot of the other Valiant mech, asked first with his mouth wide open.
"Mecha Light Knife! It's also the first time I've seen it, what's wrong? Among the people present, only Tom didn't see the change in the test machine 2 just now, so he didn't understand what Bai Jie and the men in black were in a daze.
Bai Jie, who came back to his senses, remembered that this afternoon it was the mechanic he arranged to reinstall the fire control system of this mecha, and the scary red light knife just now, as well as the huge cannon barrel hanging on the mechanical arm, seemed to be the original weapon of this antique mecha.
Could it be that the antique mecha of 200 years ago were all in this kind of shocking shape? Equip a cannon barrel and carry a large knife to scare the enemy when you go to battle?
