too late, organism

The Abyss did not give the Grandet a chance to shoot the second round. The Abyss used a maneuver that should not appear on this kind of ocean-going scientific research ship that is bigger than the Kagero-class destroyer Yukikaze, like It was a light fighter that avoided the bomber's self-defense firepower, and used a barrel roll to distance itself from the Grandet.

It seems that they did not expect that the Abyss has a shield and has a maneuver that can be called a beast. After a round of volley was shot, the Grandet paused for a while before starting to look like an angry fire hedgehog. , turned the bow and chased after the Abyss.

From the anti-aircraft turret on the upper deck of the Grandet and the ground-to-ground laser array at the bottom, the laser cannon array and the close-in anti-aircraft guns all sprayed intensive firepower in the direction of the Abyss, as if a fireworks warehouse had been ignited.

The vast majority of them fell into the air due to the coquettish maneuvering of the Abyss and the movement of ghosts and animals, while the remaining small part dissipated into the air after hitting the light blue shield of the Abyss.

[The countdown to wormhole generation is 180 seconds. 】

"Be careful not to be hit by the axis cannon while maneuvering!"

The Grandet was like a husky trying to grab its own tail, biting the Abyss that was rolling and circling around it, desperately unwilling to appear at its twelve o'clock position.

The dual cannon laser turrets arranged on the hull are still like the shower in the bathroom, splashing high-energy lasers on the Abyss.

[The shield is backfilled to 77.8%. 】

[Gate 131 was blasted open! 】

[Marines exchange fire between samples. 】

The cat car looked at the projection of the bridge. Under the crazy maneuver of the Abyss, the marines of the IRS still blew up several gates that were used to block the damaged area after the ship was damaged, and pushed towards the interior of the scientific research ship. , several sections have already been lost after the gates were breached.

The marines stationed on the ship were not the opponents of these IRS members. Almost after a face-to-face meeting, the precise shooting of the IRS operators left a flickering body, and their consciousness returned to the shipboard processor to wait for new ones. The body goes offline and leaves the factory.

And those fixed gun turrets in the ship also shut down and went on strike one after another under the burning of the plasma flames ejected from the hands of the four big men wearing large power armor.

The rest of the marines had to rely on the lock doors to block the cabin and the rapid deployment of automatic turrets to buy time.

However, even if several cabins were seized from the marines one after another, this would not change everything that the IRS operators would face next.

[There are still 60 seconds before the wormhole opens. 】

Maoche watched the IRS members occupy another section of the cabin, and the remaining marines began to hide in several key cabins for defense, and had to admit that they were better than these IRS members.

These "elite" marines who were used to suppress the Creator's rebels and only fought security warfare and captured wild animals last time they fought more than 100 years ago were far behind in terms of equipment and skills.

However, this will soon cease to be an issue.

"Captain, urgently empty all the gas in the ship, Quarter Power Dock, this is the Abyss. Let the space station garrison gather and prepare for battle at the dock. We have brought back some violent biological and technical samples, which may require heavy weapons .”

[Understood, the emergency exhaust system is activated. 】

[Quat Power Dock received, the battle alarm has been sounded. 】

[Abyss, the wormhole has been generated, the distance is 1000km. 】

In front of the Abyss, through the viewfinder, Maoche saw a light blue vortex in the space suddenly appearing there, as if someone suddenly opened a brightly lit door in a dark room.

"Captain, overload the engines and shield generators. It's time to end this boring game."

[Received, overload shield, engine room.Advance 5】

When I saw the blue shield that would only appear when under attack, it lit up like a big glowing egg at this moment, and the cat car relaxed on its position, looking at the Grandet aircraft. The beams emitted by the eight ATA/ATS pulse laser cannons on the wings caused a ripple on the shield before being neutralized by the shield.

The Abyss plunged headlong into the wormhole before the Grandet fired the shaft cannon at the bow, the giant plasma cannon called the Yamato cannon.

Well, although I failed to find a new world this time, the special products brought back can always come in handy after reverse engineering.

As long as some captives are transformed into their own people, the army's combat skills can also be updated, and this wave is not a loss.

[Sir, someone followed you into the wormhole! 】

As soon as he jumped out of the wormhole, the moment the communication was restored, Maoche heard a news that almost scared him to jump up.

"Close the wormhole immediately!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Maoche ordered the wormhole station to close the wormhole, and then cut his sight to the viewfinder outside the ship.

Just as the bow of the Grandet poked out of the wormhole, the light blue wormhole suddenly disappeared.

Before the wormhole disappeared, the double cannon laser turret on the front half of the ship that protruded from the wormhole disappeared. After firing a few more beams at the Abyss, it stopped and kept the angle of the last shot still. .

Then the half of the huge T-shaped ship maintained its previous course and continued to float forward. Behind the half of the ship, some small things, whether it was the crew or sundries, were also sprayed into space.

"Quat Power Dock, record this coordinate point, and immediately send a shuttle to the location to salvage technological and biological samples."

Maoche glanced at the IRS members who were still advancing on the Abyss, and knocked on the terminal in front of him.

"Captain, use your fastest speed to rush back to the Kuat Power Dock before they reach the bridge."

【Yes, sir. 】

Chapter 11 11 Good girl

"Sir! We still can't get in touch with the Grandet!"

Ava huddled behind a turret that had been burned by firebats not long ago, when she replaced the last magazine on her C-10 "can" rifle in her hand.

[One Pound of Meat] Sergeant Fabio, Commando Commander, shouted to her.

This big man is wearing a set of the largest CMC-300 power armor, holding a 12mm Gauss cannon that should have been installed on the vehicle, while suppressing an automatic turret that is trying to be repaired in the cabin in front of him robot, shouting to Ava.

"Running out of ammunition! We need backup sir!"

After working together for many years, Ava, who changed the ammunition and leaned out from behind the turret, and shot down a robot that was leaning out of the gap in the gate, was the first time I heard this Ava who was always silent. The big man yelled at himself.

Many years ago, Fabio used to be a farmer on the agricultural planet Simon III. This stocky big man should have been driving agricultural machinery every day like his ancestors who loved pizza and refused to put pineapples on pizza. Tend to the fields and take care of the delicate animals in the stables.

Wait until the harvest season to drive to sell the harvested grain, and then return to the farm with the seeds and fertilizers to be used next year.

Until one day a woman who was willing to endure the boring life of the farm for various reasons married him, gave birth to a few cubs, and taught them how to take care of the crops and take care of the animals.

Waiting to die of old age on the bed like his ancestors, and then be buried by his children in the cemetery behind the farm to end this boring life.

That's how it should be.

But one day, three resocialized marines wearing CMC-300 power armor came to his farm.

No one knows whether those marines were poisoned by stimulants, or the resocialization surgery was not thorough. These marines were holding C-14 8mm "spike" Gauss rifles.

First, the cattle in Fabio's cattle pen were shot into minced meat with a Gauss rifle, then Fabio's barn was burned down, and finally Fabio's harvester and planter were driven to play in the field Bumper cars.

After Fabio with the pitchfork killed the last marine in the wheat field, maybe it was because of his inability to rebuild the Corleone Farm, or maybe the battle with the three marines awakened Fabio to something.

After being acquitted by the court, Fabio walked into the recruitment station of the Tyrann Federation on Simon III after he walked out of the court.

In the boot camp on Simon III, Fabio showed his combat talent, and was absorbed into the combat team by the IRS combat troops who heard the news before the training was over.

Since then, Fabio has always silently used a C-14 spike rifle or something else, destroying all enemies that come in front of him.

"Hold on! We're close to the bridge!"

Ava fired another shot, and accurately knocked down a battle robot with a big gun trying to set up a machine gun position at the gap in the gate. Two firebats approached the gap in the gate.

These big guys wearing CMC-660 heavy power armor, who like to set fire, sprayed hot plasma flames into the gap with the double-barreled "sinking" flamethrower in their hands.

Nobody, not even a robot, can survive the blast of 4000-degree plasma.

The high temperature brought by the plasma will not only destroy the fragile circuit components, but also sinter the winding of the motor, burst the hydraulic pipe, and finally leave a body that looks like there are only some burn marks on the surface, but in fact it has become a A mass of metal that is not burnable.

"Promote!"

When the firebats stopped spraying flames into the cabin, several marines wearing CMC-300 power armor rushed into the cabin with a C-14 spike rifle with a bayonet hanging down.

They occupied the chamber without much trouble, other than the high temperature warning from the power armor's sensors from the plasma flame-heated bulkhead.

"Go over there, and you will pass through this corridor to the bridge."

From the personal terminal, Ava called up the structural diagram of the ship taken from the wall when she just passed the damage control equipment room, and pointed to a passage in the cabin.

"Okay, brats! Did you hear that?! Let's kick those bastards' ass!"

"Aye! Aye Sir!"

As one of the three core parts of a ship, the bridge theoretically has the best defense, but this kind of defense is not to install a dozen fixed turrets and laser channels in the passage leading to the bridge. Anti-personnel equipment.

After all, in space battles where the conventional combat distance is measured in kilometers, AU (the average distance from the earth to the sun) or light seconds, there are only very few cases where marines are allowed to jump and tie combat.

Although these walking two-legged disposable anti-personnel warheads are cheaper than fusion bombs and fission bombs, but expecting a group of two-legged animals to pass through a distance of at least tens of kilometers, and then break through the shields that the opponent may have, must have The point defense system, and then penetrate the armor belt in meter thickness.

In the end, it is too embarrassing for these one-time anti-personnel warheads to hit the cabin accurately, instead of bringing the big animals stuck in the ship structure and turning them into a dud.

Therefore, the defense of the bridge is a reasonable location design and additional armor protection, away from the ammunition depot and power furnace, and will not be blown up after being touched by the "No. [-] turret" and "the pride of the Royal Navy." "The same, people think that a large amount of TNT is buried under the bridge.

But this kind of defense does not give the defender any advantage in the face of hostile marine infiltration.

After smashing the resistance of the last armed robot in front of the gate in front of the bridge, Fabio used the cannon to dig a hole in the gate, and asked the marines to stuff the spare power armor power pack into the hole Overloaded, blew the gate.

"Hands up you bastard!"

When the gates blew open, Ava and Fabio rushed behind the bridge with the marines.

What they saw was a bunch of robots sitting in their positions and shutting down. All the equipment in the bridge was offline, and they didn't see those familiar operation panels.

After all, although the Holy Roman Empire is good, it is also a serious robot empire. Except for a few functions such as the communication system that uses button design to avoid embarrassment, the rest of the functions are operated by direct connection with data cables.

The button to speak can effectively prevent people from accidentally saying something when they are thinking about something, or accidentally live-broadcasting the situation in the bridge on a full-band basis.

Using a data cable to directly connect to the main engine of the battleship can prevent the situation where the barrage on the port side is too thin.

"What the hell are these things?!" Fabio walked to the communication platform of the bridge with the cannon in his left hand, grabbed the head of a humanoid robot with his right hand and pulled it up.

In the gravity-free bridge, the robot with the data cable connected to the communication platform floated in the bridge like a weird puppet.

"You've done a great job, Tax Inspector Ava, I didn't expect you to make it this far."

"Put your hands up!"

Ava and all the marines who entered the bridge pointed their weapons at the location where the sound came from.

A robot that looks like a dormant cabin with arms and legs is sitting on the highest position of the bridge, looking at the people on the bridge with the viewfinder emitting red light behind the transparent shield on its chest.

"Excellent combat skills, Ava tax inspector. And everyone present, you crushed my defense forces at almost no cost to reach me, which makes me even the slightest bit interested in you. "

The holographic projection in the bridge suddenly lit up. It was only the front half of the Grandet, slowly floating in space like butter on a hot pan.

"Like I said before, you're going to pay for this, Ava tax inspector. Now put the guns down and get off this boat and let's talk, we don't have to make things too ugly."

Dozens of display screens hanging on the bridge are all lit up, and the display screens can be seen through the viewfinders at various angles on the ship. The ship has parked in a dock, and there are countless people around the ship. Battle droids and chariots have surrounded the ship.

Not far from the dock, there are several battleships that look about the same size as the Grandet, but are equipped with large exaggerated turrets, and they are parked not far from this ship.

"Your men are good lads, lay down your arms before it's too late. Don't waste their lives meaninglessly."

After seeing the scene on the monitor and only half of the Grandet left, the marines began to waver, and some marines lowered their guns pointed at the robot.

"Shit!"

Ava pulled the trigger on the robot continuously, and several 25mm rounds shredded the high robot.

"Don't be fooled by these things, there are as many fake holograms and videos as there are. We've got control of the bridge. Now dismantle the droids, and let's go to the Gnaku and take the shuttle back to the Grandet. I dare I'm sure they've used some technology to cut off our communications, and when we get back to headquarters with this ship, I'm sure everyone will be promoted."

After receiving Ava's order, a burst of flames lit up in the bridge of the Abyss.

Although the C-14 "Sting" rifle is known as a Gauss rifle, it is actually a rifle that uses Gauss auxiliary technology, and the ammunition is still mixed with old-fashioned gunpowder. muzzle flash.

After dismantling the shut down and offline robots in the bridge into a pile of scrap iron, Ava and Fabio led the marines towards Ganaku.

Along the way, they collected the marines who had stayed in the occupied cabins to prevent the opponent's shipborne troops from raiding the flanks.

"Ava, do you really think that holographic projection and video screen are fake? I mean we should be able to receive some news even if it interferes, but it's too quiet now."

Fabio, who was walking beside Ava, switched the communicator to Ava's private frequency and whispered to her.

"Don't worry, if they really have the ability to destroy the Grandet, we have no chance to stand here, go back quickly, I am starting to miss the expensive bar on the Grandet, what is it called? with?"

Ava tugged impatiently at the collar of her light-refracting fiber tight-fitting battle suit. Those military researchers in the armory never knew how to write the word "comfortable", and it was always filled with the feeling of eating too many beans. Smells like the cockpit of an SCV construction truck.

The tight-fitting combat suit of the ghost agent has never been a comfortable thing. It is equipped with a high-power light-refracting fiber combat suit that can enhance the wearer's strength, speed and endurance, and prevent the ghost agent from getting out of control on the back of the ghost agent. Nerve suppression devices, and a helmet-mounted display that enhances vision and automatically incorporates air pressure and wind shear into ballistic calculations during sniping.

This combat suit is paired with a small but powerful energy supply system. While this system can supply these energy-consuming consumers, it minimizes the volume so that Ghost can have a more flexible body shape.

But the price paid for this is that the temperature control system of this battle suit is extremely bad. In order to prevent the ghost agent from being discovered by the original thermal imaging after optical invisibility, this battle suit uses very strong heat insulation layer, which leads to the fact that each time he puts on the combat suit for a long time, Ghost Agent seems to be fighting in a sauna room.

Therefore, in order to be able to get out of this mobile sauna room earlier, the action style of the ghost agents is biased towards the precise strike of fast in and fast out.

Rather than tug-of-war with opponents like marines wearing cheap but much more comfortable CMC-300s.

"Bad girl bar, you've never been there."

"Of course, even though I killed people and robbed ships, I know I'm a good girl."

Standing in front of the shuttle, Ava patted Fabio's shoulder armor.
