Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

After all, the flagship does not necessarily need the largest ship, but it must need the land ship with the most developed communication system. The most advanced communication device in the world exists on the current Firefly, so that it can always contact Edelweiss.

However, due to the limitations of the hull, the Firefly does not have a cabin for a fixed-wing aircraft, nor can it accommodate the electromagnetic guns that symbolize absolute power. Even the Originium cannons are only 122mm Originium cannons.

As a result, the firepower of this land ship is much worse than that of other medium and large land ships. Fortunately, there are still some fixed-wing drones stuffed with Originium bombs on board, which are used as "sky torpedoes."

Being able to make it touch the land ship of Ursus is not so weak, but the really effective way is still stealth.

Now they are throwing themselves into the darkness, and even the high beams on the bow of the ship are not turned on, in order to reduce the probability of the entire land ship being discovered.

This is the territory of Ursus, and Firefly's task is to transport the integration movement civilians back to Edelweiss, which is part of the civilian transfer plan discussed by the idle wolf and the patriots.

Now most of the civilians have been transported to Edelweiss by the full force of the international fleet, and there are only a small number of civilians left under the control of the integration movement. It can be said that everything is going smoothly.

"Everyone, be careful. In the night, others can't see us, but we can't see other people either. Don't let your guard down."

In the operating room of the land ship, the captain still formally reminded the other crew members.

The impact on the Firefly's vision after nightfall is huge, because the drone can hardly see anything even after it is lifted into the air. The moon cannot be seen tonight. Both moons are covered by clouds. foretells something.

"Don't worry, Captain, none of us will be lazy, you should go to rest early, you have resisted for a day."

"No." Facing the persuasion of other crew members, the captain still sat in his seat uneasy, "I'm a little restless today..."

Although the crew on the Terra landship are not as superstitious as the crew and sailors on Earth, they are still quite optimistic about some omens. Wandering in the wilderness for a long time and leaving their homes makes their nerves more or less tense.

Hearing what the captain said, the other crew members became serious one after another and suggested.

"Do you want to let the drone go into the air? How much can you see?"

"You can try to let the operator on duty go into the air immediately and sail around again."

After receiving the captain's order, the hangar on the deck was opened, and the fixed-wing drone with its wings folded was manually pushed onto the deck.

The size of this type of drone is not too large to allow people to ride on it, but as a new toy, it is still extremely popular among artisans.

Because this thing flies really fast, ordinary drones can't keep up with the land ship that is advancing at full speed. Once the drone starts cruising, the land ship must slow down to ensure that it does not fall behind.

But this fixed-wing drone does not need this trouble. The only disadvantage is that it is too fast and not easy to operate, and if you are not careful, it will fly out of the operator's limit boundary, and you will never come back after crashing.

But as long as you practice more, these little things are nothing.

The operator skillfully operates the fixed-wing drone that turns the propeller into the air, and begins a routine patrol search, and then two operators will control their own drone into the air, patrolling in different lanes to avoid omit.

Although the UAV is equipped with a night vision probe, the effect of the night vision device will be worse the farther it is from the ground. As long as it exceeds a certain range, it can basically see nothing. Therefore, the UAV can only be slightly close to the ground, but In this way, the field of vision will be greatly restricted.

When it comes to the wilderness at night, the impression may be desolate and dead, but in fact the wilderness at night is much more alive than during the day. Most animals and insects that are afraid of being prey have evolved nocturnal behavior.

Just like the current Firefly, they are trying their best to avoid being discovered by predators and survive.

It's a pity that no matter how the three magicians searched, they couldn't find any deliberate things. When the origin stone of the drone was about to run out, they could only withdraw the drone.

Obviously everything is normal, but the captain's inner anxiety has not improved in the slightest. Sometimes it is not good news that there is no abnormality. The captain would rather be able to find the traces of the enemy.

At least in this way, you can find a way to get around it. If you really bump into each other face to face, it will not be so easy to escape.

Not only the operators who operate the drones, but also the watchmen on the Firefly are also holding night vision binoculars, looking for all possible abnormalities around them.

Logically speaking, the location inspected by the drone should be very safe, but the observers of the Firefly found something unusual in this area.

It was a black shadow high in the sky, without the moonlight it was impossible to see what it was, only a round outline could be seen, which made people uneasy.

The clouds above Terra were gradually moving, and when a moon suddenly broke free from the clouds, and people on the earth had a glimpse of her beauty, the object hidden in the night could no longer hide itself.

It was a huge sphere, and a square basket was mounted under the sphere. As long as they saw its appearance, the lookouts immediately understood what it was.

A hot air balloon for observation, but the fire light that the balloon should have been emitted was covered by some kind of technology, making it successfully hidden in the night sky.

Even the warlocks ignored the threat from above, they were too concerned about the ground, so that the Firefly lost the initiative.

There is no doubt that this land ship has been discovered by the enemy.

Chapter 1077 Emergency Evacuation

"Shoot it down for me!"

Now that it has been discovered, there is no second choice. Whether it is to escape or to fight, the observation hot air balloon must be shot down.

The magician who received the order immediately operated the drone to re-launch, and used the spell unit of the drone to shoot at the hot air balloon.

Although the Ursus soldiers on the hot air balloon are not without counterattacks, it is just that the crossbow bolts that can pose a huge threat to the rotor drone are too slow for the fixed-wing drone.

Shooting down fixed-wing aircraft with bows and crossbows will only exist in the production of film and television works after all.

But even observing that the hot air balloon has fallen does not mean that the Firefly is temporarily safe. Not far from the Firefly, a ray of light suddenly appeared on the horizon, and the Ursas land ship that came to support has arrived. In a few moments the captain had to make a decision.

"Get ready for battle, but don't fire, try to get out."

"understand!"

The only thing you can bet on now is that there are not many enemy ships coming, or that the enemy has not set up more obstacles in front of you, otherwise I am afraid it will be really bad luck.

But when the driver tried to drive the landship to the opposite direction of the enemy, the lights of the landship also appeared from three other directions. Although there was still a hole, no one could guarantee that the hole was safe.

"Are there any mountains around?"

"Yes, there is a small mountain range in the northwest direction, which is the leyline extending from the integrated movement control area to here."

"Then steer the landship there immediately."

"But!" The pilot tried to remind the captain, "Then we may collide with the enemy's land ship!"

"There is no other way. The civilians boarded the vehicles one after another, and then opened the warehouse door to let them evacuate by themselves..."

The captain's words shocked everyone, and they finally threw away all chances and prepared to face the next difficulties.

"Let the people in the data room ignite all the materials, don't leave a piece of paper for the enemy, and others...be prepared for the worst."

As orders were issued one by one, the oldest warship in the international fleet was completely ready for battle.

Just as the combat troops were preparing to face the next battle, disputes broke out in the civilian area of ​​the lower deck of the land ship. It was not for other reasons, but because the cargo warehouse of the Firefly could not accommodate many vehicles, and at most it could only accommodate half of the civilians. That is, nearly a hundred people boarded the car to escape.

But the direction of the dispute is not that everyone wants to flee, but that a large number of people do not want to leave. These civilians rescued from various places by the integration movement are more willing to give their hope of life to others.

"Don't waste time!"

There are not many regular troops on the Firefly, and the one responsible for maintaining order is even a jumping squad. The blood of this squad can be traced back to the airborne troops of the Integration Movement. The equipment they used to board other ships was also approved by the international equipment department. A modified jetpack.

Now the captain of the jumping gang is yelling at these civilians. No matter what the starting point is, such a chaotic scene will only usher in the most tragic ending.

"The elderly, children, and women get on the bus first, followed by teenagers, from young to old." Under the pressure of the army, order was finally restored, "Don't forget to take your weapons, you must work hard to survive, Rescue forces will definitely come."

As the civilians boarded the vehicle, the international fighters handed over one after another weapons and equipment to the civilians on the vehicle. Thanks to the policy of the integration movement, even civilians can use weapons more or less. Their chances of survival are much higher.

The remaining civilians also received weapons according to their requirements and were divided into different teams to deal with possible battles.

Everyone knows what to stay and face, but the infected civilians are no longer the civilians who could chase hundreds of people with a few infected pickets.

Knowing how to resist, knowing that the Ursus are just two shoulders with one head on their backs, they will not sit still, and even if they die, they will bring someone to be buried with them.

However, apart from ordinary bows, crossbows and swords, the team leaders of each team also received some different things, which were mines and grenades piled up in the warehouse. These things filled with unstable origin stone powder can be said to be It is quite dangerous, and it can also play a huge role in a closed environment like a land ship.

The only question is whether these civilians who have only experienced a little bit of military training will blow themselves up, but things can't be controlled so much now, anyway, even if they don't use them, they just add some captures to the enemy, so what else? So worried?

"The cabin is about to open, all drivers should be careful to disperse and escape, and don't get together!"

As the international soldiers gave them final guidance, the bottom cabin of the Firefly suddenly opened, and when cold wind poured into the cabin from the outside, dozens of transport vehicles also escaped from the cabin like ants.

What kind of fate they will face next is not the business of the remaining people on the Firefly, because they will face their own fate.

Night battles are different from daytime battles. Although the land ships of both sides have searchlights, the use of searchlights has become a key element of night battles when they really enter the combat distance.

The limit distance of this kind of searchlight is about ten kilometers, but the life span of each bulb is only a few dozen minutes, and it will enter a dormant state within a few tens of seconds after it is turned on.

It is too early to launch the naval gun, and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy if the light is on for too long. , when to turn on and when to turn off has its own knowledge, and even gave birth to a professional unit - the searchlight soldier.

In this regard, the Ursas crew is far more professional than the international crew, but the international land ships have more advantages in weapons.

The only warlocks who can fly drones are hidden in the safest place like treasures, and the drones they use have long since changed from scout drones equipped with simple weapons to aerial torpedoes.

Then again, the earliest drone on earth was called this name, but the war ended before it was put into the war.

Perhaps the use of this weapon will bring about earth-shaking changes in the battle between land ships, and perhaps nothing will change.

The drone had already taken off, and in the complete darkness, the two sides could only determine the enemy's position through the sound and the looming silhouette, but suddenly, the searchlight soldiers on both sides turned on the searchlights as if in unison.

All of a sudden, the two land ships were fully exposed in the dark night.

Chapter 1078: Air Torpedo

In the short-distance lighting, the strong light is enough to blind the eyes of human beings. Although the current distance is not close enough, it also makes all the soldiers who are looking directly at the enemy French landship close their eyes immediately, and tears keep flowing from their eye sockets. Gathering can be regarded as temporarily losing the ability to fight.

The crew of the Firefly, who had never used land ships for night battles, suffered a small loss in this regard, but the battle will not wait until the soldiers' eyesight recovers before continuing.

In order to protect the tracks from the Ursus bombardment, the captain did not choose to immediately turn the ship to meet the enemy from the side. Instead, he tilted the angle slightly and only used the two 2-barreled artillery on the platform to attack the enemy.

As for the remaining 2-barrel 122 cannon, it is ready to fire at any time, waiting for the fleeting opportunity.

The bombardment really came, but the hit rate of the large-caliber Originium cannon placed on the bow of the Ursus land ship was really impressive. The shell fell on the side of the Firefly and smashed a big hole. If it was hit by this thing, I'm afraid A big hole will appear directly in the hull.

"Fire, the shield on the port side is too thin, what are the magicians doing, fill the gap immediately, everyone will die if they get hit by this!"

With the captain's roar, the originally weak shield immediately became much thicker.

Look at the cannonballs used by the Ursus this time are normal Originium cannonballs. This kind of cannonball is almost an enlarged version of the etched bullets used by the Sakotas. It has a miraculous effect on resisting with a spell shield.

The two land ships were still approaching each other. When the searchlights were turned off, flames could still be seen emerging from the darkness. This was almost all unilateral bombardment by fireflies.

The advantage of building the gun mounts on the central axis is undoubtedly obvious. At least in this engagement angle, the firepower density of the Firefly far exceeds that of the Ursus land ship.

Although the large-caliber Originium cannon is powerful, it is meaningless as long as it can't hit it. On the contrary, although the 2-barrel 122 cannon on the Firefly is not powerful enough to kill, it can cover continuous firepower.

If the Ursus only sent this land ship, Firefly could use this tactic to hoist it up and fight, and they could leave calmly after destroying the enemy land ship.

But there are two local land ships behind the Firefly. What is even more desperate is that these two high-speed land ships of the Ursas have a higher limit speed than the Firefly.

With no hope of escape, the captain of the Firefly had much less to think about.

"Keep getting closer to the Ursus, and give the magicians and jumping troops a better chance."

In the darkness, the course of the Ursus seems to have changed. When the searchlight of the Firefly illuminated its body, it was found that the enemy had already placed the hull in the distance.

Everyone on the Firefly stared solemnly. This method of grabbing the T head was a classic in the age of great exploration on the earth, but using this trick with a land ship means that it has entered a decisive battle situation.

Because although land ships can't be sunk, the power source of the tracks and sails is different, which has become one of the fatal flaws. As long as one is destroyed, it will lose a large part of its power.
