too late, organism

For the sake of safety, this special scientific research ship is not directly connected to the public network of the empire, or those special encrypted lines. , established a special database to receive the data sent back by that scientific research ship.

A team that has also been disconnected from the Imperial Central Database is responsible for authenticating the data sent back by the scientific research ships, in case the Imperial Central Database is compromised in an unexpected way.

It's like those stupid aliens in those old movies who don't even know how to install firewalls on their systems, and explode in place under a baffling accident, or turn into a high-tech toaster or something.

During the year, the Imperial Navy used stealth frigates to conduct close-in reconnaissance on Penta VI several times, but this planet that once swallowed up an entire army division, now there is not even a single trace of a battle on its surface. .

At least for now, that mysterious force has not shown any intention of leaving that planet. During several reconnaissances, they have not found that they have any plans to build space facilities.

Under the influence of planetary gravity, any forces with normal IQ will not choose to build large space battleships in the atmosphere. Even if the influence of planetary gravity on the hull during the construction stage is excluded, the only thing is to let those big guys leave the atmosphere and enter space It is not an easy task.

When leaving or entering the atmosphere, just a little accident can turn a huge starship into burning garbage on the surface of the planet, and the process of creating this garbage is not very good for the planetary environment. things.

Usually the starships built on the surface of the planet are not too big, and most of them are engineering ships. The real giant ships will be built in the docks in space.

After several times of reconnaissance, it was found that the mysterious force on Penta VI did not seem to have the idea of ​​building space facilities. After finally being relieved, the high-level of the empire arranged a destroyer on the edge of the Penta galaxy for combat readiness. .

The destroyer on combat readiness will resolutely sink any spacecraft aboard Penta VI if it shows signs of liftoff.

After learning that the special scientific research ship had been built, the Imperial Fist's staff also began to formulate a battle plan to attack Penta VI.

After the research ship figured out what exactly was on the Penta VI, the Imperial Fist was ready to nip that mysterious force in the bud before it went into space.

In fact, if there were no giant soldiers, the members of the sand sculpture group who were frightened by what happened on Panta VI would have exploded the star and blew the planet into pieces, just like some earless That's what cats do when they find a mouse in the house.

Chapter 69 66 Operation Thunder

The mission of the purpose-built research vessel was carried out successfully without any hindrance, and the high-power scanner completed its mission to perform a deep scan of the planet Penta VI before being burned by itself.

After the independent data center spent half a month analyzing the scan data and confirming that the data sent back had no hidden threats, the high-level empire received the scan report on the planet Panta VI.

Although under the high-power scanner, the report even clearly stated how many colonies of ants there were on the Panta VI, and how many of them died due to the strong energy emitted by the high-power scanner.

However, deep in the crust where the scientific expedition team drilled before, there is a large area that cannot be detected by the scanner. The size of that area even catches up with the area of ​​a continent on Panta VI.

Although the area that may be problematic has been confirmed, the thick stratum has become the best protection for that area. The Holy Roman Empire does not have a weapon that can threaten the existence hidden at that depth under the planet.

After calming down, the high-level empire voted down the plan to detonate multiple large-yield fusion bombs on the edge of the continental plate of Panta VI, triggering plate movement to crush the area into thin slices like a can under a steamroller.

When the threat on that planet has not yet reached the level where such extreme measures are required, at least the thing hidden deep in the earth's crust is still obediently staying on the planet, and has not shown signs of coming out for the time being.

This gave the greedy sand sculpture group friends some bad ideas.

As we all know, there are countless treasures in the space, such as the treasures such as the Recorder, which are hidden in the kingdom of the Ratmen and are peeped by the Clawed Dragon. To get this treasure that can reproduce rare cultural relics, you must defeat the Devour The split-clawed dragon that took over the entire ratman kingdom.

So when the sand sculpture group members recovered from the fear of a mechanical version of the biochemical crisis breaking out on the planets in the empire, greedy thoughts began to gain the upper hand.

Especially when the group leader learned from a certain hidden existence that there was no pioneer survived on the planet Panta VI, and there was not even a single pioneer in this universe, the members of the sand sculpture group braved up and started planning to attack Panta VI. Probing program for Tower VI.

Having learned the lessons of the previous two failures, this time the Imperial Fist Staff Department and the Navy Staff Department jointly planned this Exploration (ru) Exploration (Qin) plan.

The Imperial Fist will mobilize six army divisions including the First Division of the Imperial Fist [Flame Sword Guard Banner], the Second Division [Rome] and the No.12 Division [Varangi], as well as the Special Air Service Regiment. Almost all the mobile power that the Imperial Fist can draw out.

In addition, the Academy of Engineering will organize the repaired [EVA-0] and the newly built [EVA-02] on the star ring into a combat unit directly under the battlefield command and put them on the battlefield of Panta VI. superior.

The navy will also deploy a destroyer unit that has just completed repairs to stand by on the edge of the Penta galaxy, ready to go into the battlefield for orbital bombing and support the army fighting on the ground.

At the same time, in order to avoid the situation where the enemy is close at hand, the reinforcements are far away, and the damn communication is still cut off, another stealth frigate unit was also ordered to enter the Panta VI galaxy. Regardless of the regular communication status, they will be sent every four Hours to conduct an approach reconnaissance of the Imperial Army aboard Penta VI.

Completely cut off the possibility of false signals causing the Empire to fail to send reinforcements in time. In the event of a battle, even in the worst case, the Imperial Fist troops parachuted to Panta VI only need to persist for less than a day. Within 18 hours they You can get the Navy's orbital strike support.

Before the revenge battle of the Zenor United Group, the Imperial Fist staff did not expect that after the Zenor United Group lost its naval support, the Restoration Army would be able to overthrow the rule of the Zenor United Group by relying solely on its own strength, bringing 42. Talon hangs to dry on the roof of the headquarters building.

Therefore, before the outbreak of the war, the Imperial Fist Staff Department placed a large number of orders for smart shells from the military factory. The design of these smart bombs for ground strikes is derived from the design adopted by the siege tanks in the Coprulu sector. Before the shells exploded, It will scan the surrounding friendly signals and then explode in a directional way, so as to minimize the damage to friendly forces.

Given that there is not much chance of space combat in this campaign, all warships are only symbolically loaded with a base number of armor-piercing ammunition for space combat, and then use the remaining space in the ammunition depot to use the smart shells in stock, and The high-yield fusion bombs are full.

If all the ammunition carried by these warships were fired on Panta VI, the planet Gaia, which was not included in the colony list of the Holy Roman Empire just because the diameter of the planet was too small, would become a desolate place full of craters and sinkholes wasteland.

No army could survive such a blow, let alone after the Battle of the Eternal Fortress, the technical masters of the Academy of Engineering improved [EVA] after collecting enough combat data.

Now these giant war machines that fight on foot on the surface of the planet can guarantee two hours of continuous combat, and will not lie down due to malfunctions, or run out of control due to out-of-control control programs.

The three science academies of the empire also sent their best quick-thinking boys, ready to start wondering what was in the unscannable area under Panta VI after the army made progress.

After concentrating all the mobile forces that could be mobilized, the Empire launched the "Scientific Expedition Plan" code-named [Operation Thunder].

After arriving in the orbit of the planet Panta VI, the first is the special air crew that uses the orbital airdrop cabin for airborne landing, and the [Flaming Demon Sword Guard Banner Team] Yerichini Commando who took a large shuttle.

Airborne to the scheduled landing site of Panta VI, after controlling the landing site, the large transport ship aboard the remaining Imperial Fist troops arrived at the landing site and deployed a temporary defense line under the escort of the stealth frigate.

Same as the last time the Seventh Division arrived on the planet Panta VI, except for the panicked wild animals on Panta VI and the gravity environment on Penta VI that was lower than the standard gravity of the Empire, which caused some troubles for the landing troops, the landing troops went smoothly. The ground established a camp on the surface of Penta VI and deployed defense lines.

The few tunnels left by the disappearing scientific expedition team leading to the depths of the earth's crust were immediately dispatched by the Imperial Fist who was in charge of guarding that area.

No.12 Division [Varangi] was blocked with the strictest standards.

This army, which is good at close combat and complex terrain combat, turned it into a dead zone with automatic turrets and booby traps, and even marked its entire defense zone in advance for orbital strikes.

Section 70 "Nature's miracles"

Once the Imperial Fist's landing force had deployed unimpeded on Penta VI, it was inevitable that they would face the most troublesome part of the operation.

How to cover those technical kids and neurotic kids who like to think and are good at thinking to complete their task-figure out what little secrets are hidden on this planet.

The size of those passages can only accommodate a small group of troops to enter. It is almost an environment tailored for horror movies, especially the first two failed exploration missions, which made the Imperial Fist abandon the tunnels that have been dug since those days. The plan to go directly underground.

But waiting on the surface, in addition to letting these iron men know how suitable this planet is for carbon-based organisms to live, will not let this planet take the initiative to confess its secrets.

So after the Fist of the Empire completed the layout of the defense line, the technical boys of the Engineering Academy came up with a scientific research method of "both offensive and defensive".

After researching the wreckage of the space buildings of the Zinore United Group, the technology contained in many of the wreckages inspired the inspiration of the tech masters, and after the passionate thinking of the tech masters.

Many of the empire's technologies that were stuck on the edge of breakthroughs have been completed, including the zero-gravity refining technology used by the space mining site. The gravity interference device made by this technology can allow the refinery in the space mining station to control The gravity allows them to better complete the work of refining minerals.

Therefore, according to the traditional thinking of the Holy Roman Empire that "the problem cannot be solved because the output power is not enough.", the engineering ship of the Holy Roman Empire built a large enough mining station on the synchronous orbit of Panta VI.

Then thousands of gravitational interferometers were installed in that mining station, and the force field generated by these gravitational manipulators was strong enough to pull tens of thousands of tons of things on the Penta VI into space.

Then it is the moment to show the uncanny workmanship of nature. After the upper front gravity interferometer installed in the mining station on the synchronous orbit is activated, the mining space station is like those cutter suction dredgers that reclaim the sea and build islands. Matters such as sand and soil on the surface of planet VI were pumped into space.

There is no need for digging teams and oversized drills to dig out dark and deep caves, allowing the tactical team to be like an adventurer in a board game, facing malicious traps while fighting overwhelming enemies.

The only difference from the game is that if you send tactical teams on Panta VI, there is at least a 99.999% probability that you will lose these tactical teams and the technical boys accompanying the team.

Now it is only necessary to establish a cordon outside the excavation area, and then wait for the mining station in space to dig out the big hole that allows a brigade of troops to launch an attack front.

If something goes wrong during the excavation, just stop the operation of the gravity manipulator, and let gravity and whatever is sucked into the Penta VI in space, under the effect of gravity acceleration, do some work for the Imperial Fist It was supposed to be the job they did.

If the thing hidden under Panta VI doesn't respond, maybe after the excavation is over, the mass of Panta VI will decrease a little, and a beautiful ring will appear around it in the orbit of the planet.

The excavation work went very smoothly at the beginning, and countless earth and rocks were sucked into space under the influence of the gravity manipulator. Even if the gravity manipulator encountered rock formations that were difficult to deal with, the large-caliber fusion armor-piercing projectile fired on the EVA would solve this problem for him .

At the beginning, this kind of behavior, which was like tinkling and decorating on a dead house, did not lead to any consequences. A thin star ring even appeared on the orbit of Panta VI.

But as more and more rock formations were encountered, EVA began to use fusion armor-piercing rounds more and more frequently to solve those difficult rock formations.

就像是被楼上装修所困小，说;发EUR自!群，呆！呆*9：80>2!0;5&8/56扰的死宅一样，潜藏在潘塔VI地下的神秘存在也用他的方式提出了抗议。

The first to be attacked were the patrolling squads. When they found that their communication devices had failed, according to the plan, they immediately launched defenses on the spot, and at the same time reported their situation in the simplest way and called for support.

Around the Imperial Fist camp, countless red flares flew into the sky. Perhaps the mysterious existence hidden underground could interfere with communication and forge communication signals, like a blood-sucking leech that paralyzed the limbs of the Empire and then quietly achieve their own goals.

But they couldn't interfere with the simplest optical signal device, the signal flare.

When the patrol sent out the warning signal, before the second division of the Imperial Fist [Rome] sent a support force headed by heavy armor to arrive, these patrols were attacked by a large number of six-legged walking spider robots.

No one knows how such a large number of six-legged walking spider robots can sneak to the surface and ambushe the patrol precisely in the patrol's route.

However, after the last time when the Seventh Division of the Imperial Fist [Stoneman] was completely wiped out, all members of the Imperial Fist patrol that landed on Panta VI were equipped with improved T-51D and T-51C models. Strengthen the exterior.

The C-type of these two types of power armor uses additional shields that can be deployed as bunkers, and the defense is strengthened to the greatest extent that the existing technology can do, as long as a few members of the team use this The enhanced exterior of the model is almost equivalent to having a mobile fortress that can accompany the team forward.

However, due to the power limitation of the reactor equipped with the enhanced exterior, the weapons and shields equipped with this type of enhanced exterior are weak compared to the shield. pistol.

The D-type is the opposite of the C-type. This type of reinforced exterior is not equipped with an energy shield, but uses heavy armor as protection, and almost all the energy output by the equipped reactor can be invested in the locking and weapon systems. .

In particular, the standard modular design that has been used since the T-45 reinforced exterior allows this type of reinforced exterior to carry multiple heavy equipment, almost like a mobile arsenal, except that the action is relatively slow and the protection is slightly weaker outside.

It is almost a product that can alleviate the symptoms of late-stage patients with insufficient firepower phobia. Whenever they see the enemy, they feel "the enemy has heavy weapons! We only have sprinkler guns!" Symptoms.

And can make the opponent cry, run, hide, and then use overwhelming firepower to crush the opponent and their bunker to slag.

These patrols are like reefs in the waves, firmly defending their positions under the attack of the six-legged walking spider robot, until there is a more troublesome existence than the six-legged walking spider robot in the sequence of attacking them.

Chapter 71 68 Mechanical Frenzy·Pseudo

Some hostile units that looked almost identical to the T-45B reinforced armor equipped with the [Stoneman] division that was wiped out on the Panta VI before appeared in the attack sequence of those six-legged walking spider robots.

Though they were few in number, a patrol might not encounter one, but these new hostile units posed a far greater threat to Imperial soldiers than the hexaped walking robots.

Although the appearance of those hostile units looks very similar to those imperial soldiers equipped with T-45B enhanced outer armor, their combat effectiveness far exceeds the performance of imperial soldiers when using T-45B enhanced outer armor.

In other words, those hostile units just look like imperial soldiers equipped with T-45B enhanced exteriors. At least the jetpacks used in T-45B enhanced exteriors can allow users to jump up to a height of 20 meters, or make them The user briefly controls the air at a height of about 15 meters for a few minutes.

But it is absolutely impossible to keep the distance of 45 centimeters above the ground like the hostile units that appear in the hexapod walking robot, who use what looks like T-[-]B power armor, while floating in the air like a ghost, He can create a chain of lightning with his bare hands or use his mind to pick up the wreckage on the battlefield and throw it at the imperial army.

Especially when these units floating in the air appeared, the Imperial Army's T-51 enhanced exterior began to issue alarms for the detection of level 10 psychic reactions.

Obviously, whatever it was that was floating in the air, it was definitely not the loyal Imperial Fist fighters from before.

In the face of psychic lightning and the overwhelming debris of the battlefield, the energy shields used by the patrols quickly began to overload.

And those hostile units floating in the air are like real ghosts, lightly avoiding the firepower of the patrols, and constantly using psionic attacks to try to overload the shields of the patrols.

Before the last microreactor of the patrol was overloaded, a support force led by heavy armor from the Second Imperial Fist Division [Rome] arrived in time for the battlefield.

The six-legged walking spider robots that surrounded the patrol were like cotton ignited by fire, and quickly turned into scrap iron in front of the empire's heavy armored forces.

Their armor cannot cope with the light weapons of the Imperial infantry, not to mention the new toy that the Imperial Fist has just acquired, the super-heavy tank code-named [Imperial Hammer].

This type of tank was designed with a lot of reference to the siege tanks that were widely used in the Koprulu sector. As a design prototype, except for the iconic twin 90mm plasma cannon and 180mm super heavy cannon, it was thought Tech masters thought it was a waste of man-hours and replaced it with a 180mm railgun that is more powerful and easy to maintain.

This heavy artillery originally designed for naval ships can easily solve any obstacles that dare to stand in their way, even if no special ammunition has been developed to support it, just use the forged solid tungsten alloy column with a railgun The power emitted after acceleration cannot be blocked by those fragile six-legged walking spider robots.

But these new toys aren't the real reason the Imperial Fist has been able to gain an edge on the battlefield so quickly.

After referring to the war experience of the Zinor Restoration Army and the report of Sergeant Major Xingsong, the top management of the empire agreed that in the face of the technology that can directly instigate the soldiers of the empire without reason, it would be a dead end to continue to follow the route of elite soldiers.

So this time the landing troops brought more war factories, and used the STC provided by the Academy of Engineering to start mass-producing a war machine that glued rifles and drones together, the [Locust] battle robot.

Since it is technically impossible to catch up with the enemy, then overwhelm them with an overwhelming number, even if the opponent will instigate some soldiers, but as long as the number produced from the war factory exceeds the number of soldiers who are instigated, then the final winner will be It must be Empire.

For this reason, all the mineral and energy mining stations in the Panta galaxy will send all the collected resources to the Imperial Fist base on Panta VI, so that the Imperial Fist troops can use their overwhelming material superiority to gain a battlefield advantage.

When the overwhelming number of locust battle robots entered the battlefield, whether it was the spider robots or the psykers who looked like imperial soldiers, they were all defeated by the number of locust battle robots that covered the sky like a dark cloud.

After the news that the heavy armored support unit sent by the [Rome] division successfully completed the task of rescuing the patrol team was uploaded to the empire through the information link, the high-level officials of the empire who had been anxiously waiting for the result burst into cheers.

Facing the same enemy, the former stone man division was beaten helplessly, but now only part of the troops of the [Rome] division and the locusts assigned to them have been dispatched, the situation on the battlefield has basically become The Holy Roman Empire suppressed the one-sided situation of that mysterious force.

This fully proves that as long as the fragile logistics facilities can be carefully prevented from being infiltrated, in head-to-head combat, the imperial army with sufficient material advantages can crush those unknown enemies hidden in the dark.

The upper echelons of the empire, including the group leader and the cat car, believe that with the help of the mining space station that is crazily drilling holes in Panta VI, they will soon know what kind of small monster is buried on Panta VI. secret.

At the same time, in the underground of Panta VI, in a room that has never been opened since it was closed 2 years ago, a server detected that those responsible for cleaning the surface of the planet did not exist in the Creator's plan and kept the planet in its original state. Gardeners" and "fixers" have troubles they can't fix themselves.

So a defense process started again that had only been started 9000 years ago, the last time this process was started, an over-curious star empire mysteriously lost their Titan formation in a distant galaxy, and in the Crashed in a rebellion by their vassals, they disappeared from the galaxy forever.

According to the battle data uploaded by the gardeners, after the defense process assessed the noisy machines on the surface as a mild threat, a weapon depot that had never been opened since it was closed 9000 years ago began to Follow standard unsealing procedures to reactivate those war machines sealed in the net stasis field.

Nineteen thousand years had left no trace on these dangerous war machines, and some of their armor plates still bore traces of the last battle, some scorched bullet marks and dried blood.

When the ten-thousand-year-long net stagnation force field ended its operation smoothly, and the server was reconnected to these ancient war machines, the huge energy was drawn from the void again and poured into these killing machines, and the server sent that only The command sent once: "Kill, destroy, end."

Chapter 72 69 Mechanical Frenzy

"Company 2-223, advance to C-2 stronghold, hold on to the last moment."

"Company 2-223 received, the data has been backed up, and we are starting to enter the battlefield."

"Outpost 6-17 can no longer be held. Request support."
