16. Fortress VS Fortress (Forty-Eight)
"Is this it?"
The spider repeatedly looked at the small, airtight door, unable to connect the shabby door in front of her, which resembled a toilet utility room or a staff lounge, with the core of the fort core, and the female agent, who had given up her efforts, turned back and asked:
"Could you be mistaken?"
"Absolutely not. β
The head that had been drooping was raised, and some raunchy faces looked around to the left and right, and a low nervous voice muttered:
"This is the place you're looking for, I haven't been in it directly, but I've seen it when the maintenance passage opens. There are at least a thousand of them, as you would say lockers or lockers. β
Perhaps they were not used to the way men spoke, or perhaps this person had some kind of annoying quality, and the expressions of the commandos around the alert convulsed.
Their reaction was not surprising.
Who likes a sneaky traitor by their side, let alone put their own and their country's fate in the hands of this guy?
The spider was not unaware of the delicate mood of the team, and she could only smile bitterly at this.
The Monsieur FranΓ§ois Pinault in front of him is not a traitor and traitor in the strict sense of the word, Pinault, who wears the uniform of a Wehrmacht soldier without military rank, is not even a puppet army, he can barely be classified into the scope of the leading party, and he is also very timid and harmless to people and animals.
Under Alfheim's system of racial hierarchy and treatment, the fourth estate, the human race, had three ways to get ahead: to possess some outstanding ability and performance, to become Stasi's informant and informant, and to join the army;
The division of the above three pathways is not very clear, and it is common to meet two or all three of them at the same time. It's basically just a reference. Taking into account objective factors such as social environment, qualifications, and probabilities, there are far more people who choose the latter two than those who hold the first condition. After all, in any era and place, mortals are the vast majority, and the choices they can make are even more limited in special circumstances.
Pinault is one of the many people who try to change their fate, and Pinault, who has no special talents, and has no ability or willingness to become a secret agent, very pragmatically chooses to become an auxiliary member of the defense force, looking forward to changing careers after completing 15 years of volunteer military service, and according to the provisions of the "Military Service Law", "those who have completed military service can be preferentially adopted as civil servants by government agencies", become a clerk in a small post office or customs, and ensure the source of livelihood for himself and his family for the rest of his life.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and there is nothing to blame for planning the future that is most likely to be realized and touched according to one's own conditions. Pino's actions were at best refined egoism, and he neither oppressed his fellow men nor shot at his fellow men at the other end of the trench. He was just a cook in the Iseron Battery, except for wielding a paring knife and fighting potatoes, that is, following the orc squad leader to deliver food to all parts of the battery, such a military life can be described as safe and easy. The only thing he didn't expect was that the job he had chosen to plan for the future would bring such drastic changes to his life.
Spider also never imagined that the lack of manpower in the defense force would be to the extent that humans could join her, and what made her even more laughable was that when she was in a dilemma, it was Charlemagne's chef who joined the defense force to rescue her and the entire infiltration team from the predicament.
Only the top brass of the Iseron Battery know the whole picture of the underground structure of the Iseron Battery, and even the resident technician in charge of maintenance only knows that he is responsible for the structure of the block, and the only exception is the troops responsible for logistics and supply - when the battle is fierce, they must deliver bullets and food to various departments, often shuttling through the labyrinthine underground, no matter how poor their memory is, they can more or less grasp the general structure of the tunnel, and the business block of Pino's squad is exactly the target of the spider.
The spider who followed the small voice all the way to the kitchen won the jackpot, and after subduing Pino, who was acting alone, the former Stacy agent with no moral cleanliness carried out some coercion and temptation, and finally with the "help" of a group of rough men, Pino led the spider and his party here.
The spider is not worried about what tricks this gang leader will play, with the spider's super perception ability, any trap will be detected before it is triggered, and making small moves in front of her is simply looking for death. On the other hand, she also knew very well that as long as the fait accompli of Pino and her group acting together existed, this man would not dare to risk taking them to a place where the elven soldiers were heavily garrisoned. You must know that in the eyes of the elven soldiers, the human logistics soldier is just a two-legged animal that can talk and work, and the sharp-eared uncles will not miss the opportunity to fire first in order to care about the life of a "two-legged sheep". Even if Pinault is lucky enough to save his life, what awaits him next will not be medals and rewards, but the "kind smiles" of Stasi's torture masters and the grand welcome of all kinds of torture instruments, as for whether the whole family will be reunited in the "resettlement site" in the far north or sent to the crematorium after being shot, it will depend on his creation.
Taking a deep breath, the spider pulled down the manual switch lever set on the side of the door, the airlock slowly opened, and the commando next to him raised the submachine gun flat and aimed the muzzle at the airtight door.
β...... That's right, this is it. β
The door was fully opened, and after confirming that it had reached its destination safely, the spider let out a long breath and carefully observed the dimly lit space in front of him.
In front of her was a cavern the size of an Olympic stadium, with hundreds of large locker-shaped machines lined up in a neat line, the low sound of buzzing and water flowing echoing in the underground space, and the flickering red and yellow lights on the surface of the machinery brewed a strange solemn atmosphere. Soldiers armed with automatic weapons patrol back and forth, looking like a group of monks.
This is the substation that the spider has been looking for.
The "Thor's Hammer" is a super-large caliber coil gun, the basic principle of which is to pass an alternating current into the acceleration coil, and the resulting alternating magnetic field will induce an electric current in the projectile coil. The magnetic field of the induced current interacts with the magnetic field of the accelerating coil current to create an electromagnetic field force that accelerates the projectile and launches it. To power this weapon, the "power supply" and "substation" are indispensable, and if you destroy one of them, the "Mjolnir" will be completely reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
Needless to say, the power supply is to input the current into the acceleration coil through a large number of high-power cyclic inverters, and control the initial velocity of the projectile launch by adjusting the voltage. Compared to a power station that does not know how to arrange the backup transmission line and it is difficult to ensure the damage effect, the substation that must be near the battery and it is difficult to quickly restore and adjust the line is obviously a better target.
"If you destroy this place, the monster cannon will shut up?"
"It's that simple. It is necessary to destroy the facilities to stop the 'Mjolnir', and at least two-thirds of the inverters must be destroyed. Are you sure you won't attract the attention of the sentinels? Even if you can do your best, don't mess around, if the destruction is not thorough enough, it will be more than enough to repair the 'Condor City'. The destruction is so complete that we ourselves will be buried in the ground if we are not careful. β
"It's really hard for a strong man, the canaries in the mine aren't so hard. β
"That's right, it's hard for a strong man. β
The spider twisted its neck, a dangerous smile on its face.
"But now that we've come to this point, let's listen to our pitiful chirps. β
