People's Federation will live forever

If this information is spread to the People's Federation, then the Marine Corps will undoubtedly encounter many difficulties in recruiting.The human species was not made for space operations, and it is only natural to endure these pains.But even this inconvenience cannot prevent human beings from bravely exploring the unknown frontier. Space is a stage for the brave, and the Marine Corps is the brave among the brave.

Battleships destroy each other at great distances, but Marines are there to engage the enemy face to face.Naturally, the destructive power is incomparable, but the bloodshed is even worse—the metal creaking sound in the cabin of the Raven shuttle. This sound is not air, but is transmitted from the battle suit to the skull through solid vibration. After all, it cannot be real There's the old cliché of a shuttle with air in it and waiting to get hit and then act out soldiers being blown out by the air pressure?

The marines remained silent. This movement meant that the shuttle began to slow down. This shuttle had a direction-changing engine at the front and rear. Every time it slowed down, people worried that the connection between the engine and the hull would break.But the good news is that the terrible overload has finally passed, the speed from the second universe has been reduced all the way to several Machs, and the warning red light in the shuttle has also changed to a green light.

"Gentlemen in the cockpit, I have to say you've been assigned a fucking job, you should call in sick today, I can't imagine you're about to land on a monster like this - oh my god, this ship The ship is eight times larger than the Dusk class, and it can definitely hold a million people inside!"

The lights in the cockpit came on, and the signal began to be connected to the visor of the Marine Corps. In front of the eyes of the heavy infantry was the enemy flagship named Cape Town, a super giant that was no different from a monster to Renlian. Battleship!

Maybe the Cape Town is more than 600 meters long, which is twice the length of the dusk class, but the width and height are not of the same order at all.The Twilight-class is nothing more than a conical flat plate, while the enemy ship is a square, short log. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are eight Twilight-class ships packed together. Its height of more than [-] meters is as high as a [-]-story building. One million people is really not nonsense.So the shuttle pilot's tone was full of admiration: "This is an airtight steel fortress, but you are going to rush in and hand over the enemy's chassis? This is the most manly battle I have ever seen. Good luck, land battle Team members."

"I also give this sentence to you on behalf of my brother, because you still have to wait here for us to come out!"

Light laughter resounded in the cockpit. As the speed gradually slowed down, the electromagnetic lock opened. The Griffins stood up from their seats and began to prepare their equipment. The leader of the fire team raised his fist to let the team members focus on it. .

"Listen, brothers of Team K. We are performing an occupation mission this time, so the goal is to defeat all resistance, allow lethal firepower but want to catch more work, so it's a delicate job... don't worry Complaining, you know the rules, right?"

"Understood, shoot first, those who die are the enemies, and those who survive are well-trained enemies!"

The team members shouted together, and the sergeant nodded in satisfaction: "I really want to do this too, but we need to report, every living person may have information that is related to the survival of the People's Federation, and this information is more important than our convenience, understand? "

"Even our lives?"

The soldiers still asked with a smile, and the sergeant nodded slowly: "Yes, it does look like that from above."

The marines raised their phalanx rifles, loaded with sufficient energy and ammunition.Looking at the enemy ships getting closer and closer on the head-up display - "Then let's do this, don't join the Marine Corps if you are afraid of death."

A team member shouted: "Heavy infantry is the pioneer, whoever we don't go!"

But it doesn't matter a word, the team suddenly chatted.

"The slogan is very familiar, Arthur, did you use to be a Ranger?"

"That's right, former US Army second lieutenant, I was transferred to the front line when I participated in the war to clear South Asian lairs, and was elected to the Special Operations Command three months ago, what about you?"

"I came here after the recovery of East Asia. I have fought for 30 years from the ground to the sky. I am one month later than you."

"After training together for two months, I realized that you are also from Earth! I was on the North African front, and I was selected into the heavy infantry after counterattacking the Apennine Peninsula... So, our company is all Earthlings?"

The heavy infantry unit of the whole earth was unimaginable half a year ago, but the People's Federation's round-robin strategy against beta on the earth has had an effect. A large number of elite soldiers have been selected to enrich the regular army of the People's Federation after the military reform. .At this moment, there was a great sense of disparity, which reminded us that it was only half a year before the People's Federation unified the MUV Earth, but many things have changed.

"Don't talk nonsense, prepare to fight." The leader walked through the team and was the first to stand at the exit, "Whether it's Earth or Scylla, since you're wearing People's League clothes, you have to do your job well."

"Rom, you lead Jon, and Abdullah follows me. Get your shields ready for close combat! Arthur, there are no accurate shooters in indoor battles in the ship. You cooperate with the pier as a heavy weapon supporter. Alexeyer Husband and George pilot the SEA mecha, understand!"

"Understood, Captain de Gaulle...But Captain, don't you want to go to the machine armor?"

Charles de Gaulle... This French man shook his head: "I've been flying tactical aircraft for half my life, and I don't want to be a pilot anymore, do you understand the heavy infantry who came here?"

At this moment, a voice came from the driver of the Raven shuttle: "Ready to land!"

---

The Cape Town is a monster, and the closer you get, the more you realize the majesty of this giant.The mountain-like body is covered with spikes. These spikes are anti-aircraft guns in standby mode. They are a difficult test for any ants who dare to approach the giant beast. Not to mention the strength of the firepower, the density of the light is enough for the three The ten ravens came and went, but now these AA guns are silent, because their eyes are now under the control of the People's Federation, and they can't see the approaching shuttle at all, so the ravens are on the surface of this battleship—these AA guns landed in the woods.

It's not very difficult, you just need to stretch out the magnetic bracket to fix it firmly, and then lower two eight-meter-high humanoid mechas from both sides of the Raven aircraft to stand on the surface of the battleship. SEA took the first step. The surface of these engineering mechs was temporarily welded and hung with external armor, which made the original appearance more ferocious, but it was also more like a military vehicle.

These mechs pointed their plasma cutters at the armor plate of Cape Town below them. The armor plate of such a huge battleship must be measured in meters, but the target of the cutters is an asteroid measured in hundreds of meters, so when When the [-]-degree high-temperature plasma focused into a beam of light and shot down, the alloy armor plate also melted down foot by foot—since the Hammer of Dawn can penetrate the defense, there is nothing to be afraid of, at most it will be slower, and the Marine Corps There is plenty of time to look for weak spots.

For example, a large hole was originally blasted out by the Hammer of Dawn but has been blocked by the damage control personnel. The goal of the plugging is to prevent the damage from expanding rather than to repair the hull. The re-sealed space made the sensors in the sealed cabin automatically sound the alarm!

"Warning, hull damage, warning, call damage control, warning..."

In the nearest cabin, two engineers wearing RIG (resource integration) armor trotted over with toolboxes, wondering while running:

"What's the matter, we used double expanded metal foam for that hole, shouldn't it?"

Another person complained: "I said at the time that the metal foam is not strong enough, and the structure must be strengthened, but you didn't listen!"

"No, is the strengthening of the structure related to the damage? Did it hit a meteorite? Why didn't the close-in defense system activate?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, and this alarm is so loud, can you turn it off remotely!"

When there is a leak in the hull, even if the adjacent cabin is repaired, it must be used as a means of isolation.Before opening the last section of the automatic door, the two engineers prepared their own equipment. The lobster shell-style slat armor of the RIG armor covers the upper body without affecting the flexibility. The titanium alloy armor integrates the power of the exoskeleton, which is more powerful than the Renlian The iron bar type looks much lighter.

The safety light on the back of the slightly outdated armor was green, proving that the oxygen and other factors were normal. The two engineers also held a plasma cutter and made an OK gesture, ready to enter the room after decompression.

However, what was strange was that there were bursts of vibrations in the room, as if someone was working inside.This made them a little puzzled, but before they thought about it, because an inexplicable impact hit the automatic door in front of them, the solid-state transmission told them that it was an explosion reaction!

"what on earth is it?"

The automatic door opened, and the door gap gradually widened. The eyes of the two entered the room from the helmet eyepiece. The face of the RIG armor emitted a blue light, while the green light of night vision appeared opposite them.

The two of them were facing a room full of people. These people were wearing armor styles they had never seen before. They looked very thick and powerful. They were more like machines than humans, and the anti-joints supported them more than ordinary people. One head taller.When the door opened, it seemed that the other side was also very surprised, so that the six people raised their weapons and aimed at the two of them—yes, they were sure that it was a weapon, even if it didn't look like a weapon they were familiar with but I am not a fool, I will not be unclear.

At this time, the two engineers found that the other party's realization fell on the plasma cutter in their hands, and a bad feeling came to their hearts.They all want to say loudly that this is not a weapon, this is just an engineering device, but there is no doubt that this is not the time to do this, and they can guess who the other party is no matter how stupid they are.

They are the rebels the commander said, and they are on board!But what should we do at this time?

That must be—

"Don't shoot, I surrender!"

"There are enemies, the control center, there are enemies invading!"

At the first moment, the puzzled engineer let go of the plasma welding torch, raised his hands and knelt down, while the complaining engineer yelled and raised the welding torch, which is more powerful than ordinary weapons. superior.

And the opposite side undoubtedly made a decision and pulled the trigger. With short bursts of fire like a storm, the high-speed steel nail pierced the titanium alloy RIG slat armor without hindrance, tearing open the engineer's chest and smashing the internal organs into a meat sauce. , A big hole appeared in the heart of the colleague next to him after a face-to-face meeting, and the head on his neck exploded into a rotten watermelon, red and white were sprinkled on him, so scared that he wanted to cry out, but he was afraid of angering the other party. It turns into a series of coughs down the throat.

But in the eyes of the Shire leader and other heavy infantry on the opposite side, it was another feeling: "Ah, the appearance of death is different from that of Beta!"

Humans are really fragile, how can they die in one shot, and it takes a lot of shots to kill a beta soldier!

This may be a signal that we haven't dealt with normal enemies for a long time... "Attention, the enemies we are facing now will fight back from a long distance, remember to change your combat thinking."

Captain Shire waved his hand forward: "The enemy has issued a warning. The sneak attack failed and turned into a strong attack. Immediately move forward to occupy the position!"

At this time, the team member Arthur suddenly kicked the engineer who surrendered, and then grabbed the armor piece on the opponent's RIG armor with one hand and lifted him up—it seems that the strength of the Griffin battle suit is higher than that of the RIG armor. Armor, and the ex-Ranger had another sinister voice:

"It's easy to say, sir, didn't we catch a job? The purpose of keeping him alive is for intelligence, so he should show the value of being alive!"

PS: The setting that can be announced now-the SEA prototype is not a tactical machine, but a mech that appeared in Gears of War 4.

The question that can be answered now - why didn't Renlian send detectors to the outside world?Answer: It’s only been half a year since the MUV integration, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the FTL of the People’s Union. It doesn’t make much sense to send slow probes to the surrounding galaxies that are several light-years away. It’s better to build a good fleet to improve the efficiency of FTL. Then organize an expedition to open the fog of war.

Sorry, the first day of the new year is a bit lacking in spirit, I will try to increase the amount tomorrow.

By the way, I'm seriously lacking data on the conventional combat power of Dead Space.

Chapter 32·Black Death

"The IFF signal has appeared. It is the Sword Squadron. Clear the No. 5 apron. The landing troops who are about to leave the cabin will change to the No. 3 launch port to take the transport plane."

"Ah, the control center called the Sword Squadron. There seems to be a problem with the optical sighting system. We can't see your appearance clearly, but your posture is not for a safe landing. Please slow down immediately, repeat, slow down immediately."

"Sword Squadron, please answer if you receive it! Damn, there is a problem with the radio. Inform the firefighting team to rush to the fifth apron immediately. They must be malfunctioning. Prepare for the impact!"

One of the communications is more serious than the other, and the landing pad of the Cape Town is not the same as imagined.The aircraft of the People's Federation generally has a long runway through ejection acceleration, but the aircraft of the Ground Defense Alliance is completely suspended and takes off directly, and does not need a runway like a helicopter, so the apron of the Cape Town is a 5-meter-wide apron. And the 35-meter-high honeycomb grid, the No. [-] apron formulated by the Air Force Finger Department is such a grid.If the normal landing procedure is followed, the Sword Squadron will line up in rows and enter one by one from the grid. When entering, there will be an artificial gravity field to change the inertial direction, and then the robotic arm will receive it and put it into the hangar. This will not be more difficult than the F[-] landing.

But now there seems to be a problem. Although the "Sword" squadron that applied for landing has slowed down, it has seriously violated the operation in the gravity field. The foreseeable crash is about to happen, so the hangar has suspended work and cleared the area. There are still people standing in the open area. On the edge of the airport, emergency light signals are constantly being sent into the dark void, hoping that the pilot can report the situation in time, and it is best to cancel the landing!

But the signal was ignored, and at the moment when the battleship's optical sensor was wrong, someone took out a reliable telescope and found the problem at a glance:

"No, the tail flame of our fighter plane is bright white, and the one coming over here is light blue, it doesn't match at all!"

The ground crew realized in a blink of an eye what was going on, and immediately dropped the binoculars and rushed towards the hangar. At the same time, he didn't forget to shout on the radio: "That's not the Sword Squadron, it's the enemy. Close the airport!"

But it was too late, not to mention that the air finger department did not realize that their computers had been poisoned by the People's Network virus and did not give the correct information. The open movable joint electromagnetic equipment has been infiltrated and stuck by the virus, and they can only watch the strange aircraft rush into the airport, crash into the grid-like tarmac and create countless sparks.

"Bang! Bang! Boom!"

Immediately after entering the airport, the 20-meter-long Raven transport plane wrapped in carbonized lattice armor was affected by artificial gravity, crashing into the tarmac in an arc and sparking sparks on the ground.The steel bracket was bent, and the impact had a devastating impact. Even the Raven transport plane was smashed into a pile of scrap iron, sparks and blackened smoke were shining all over the body, if this was the case, there would still be living...

No, there is more than that.As the hatch of the Raven transport plane made a loud noise, it turned out that the buried explosives were activated and the twisted hatch was blown away, revealing a hole with thick smoke, and then a... A robot head with red light.

It is the cyber legion, the cyber legion that purifies Stormport, those black robots that inject virtual intelligence combined with human memory into the artificial brain, and can act independently without remote control!Their mechanical bodies do not need the protection of combat suits at all. Their defense and strength have surpassed that of heavy infantry. Even if the memory titanium alloy body is bent or dented, it can recover by itself. Although there is no nanofluid repair technology, I want to destroy such a body. Please also call the artillery, because individual weapons are weak in front of it, not to mention that there is a layer of black nano-ballistic material on the outer layer of the machine body designed to absorb various kinetic energy and heat.

The eternal guards of the High Council, the sleepless dead soldiers crawled out of the destroyed raven silently, their red eyes swept the surrounding scenery, and the spherical infrared detection and millimeter wave radar inside their heads have already input the environmental data in the airport at this moment artificial brain.A total of 24 cyborgs came out of the three ravens that rushed in, and they used their team to build a backstage sub-network, adding the computing power of 24 machines to complete the information summary in an instant.

This is the characteristic of the cyber army. The more units around, the more complete the gestalt consciousness.And the foreheads of these robot soldiers all have a Hydra logo, which reminds us of the Hydra AI that has served in the Human Alliance Star Guard. It seems that there are some clear connections between them.

"Priority confirmation, clear the airport area, and open the channel for subsequent landings."

Holding a short-barreled electromagnetic carbine in the palm of the cyborg metal, they moved over the burning wreckage, their steps were light and light, and their mass of two hundred kilograms could not be seen at all.The backs of these robot soldiers integrated a folding jet system, and they looked towards the high place—in this battleship with artificial gravity, there is indeed a distinction between up and down, and the high fence has already rushed here. Marines on board a battleship.They wore dark green military camouflage RIG armor, which was thicker than the engineer's lobster slat armor. They also carried combat backpacks and electromagnetic pulse rifles, aiming down at the unknown intruders from the railing.

"shooting!"

The Army Armed Forces of the Allied Defense Forces are very complicated. As far as what they have in hand, the so-called electromagnetic pulse rifles are also divided into types. Will be stronger than traditional gunpowder weapons.But the Marine Corps belonging to the fleet is different. They are minions of the United Earth Government to quickly respond and flatten the rebellion, so what they hold is an electrothermal rifle that fires 5.56 caliber bullets for electromagnetic acceleration. quality steel plate.

However, it is difficult to penetrate the shell of cyborgs. High-speed projectiles collide with dents and scratches on the body. These intensive shootings fill the air with the smell of ozone and the smell of gunpowder burning chemical gunpowder. As if the blue light flashes, the flashes will flood people's eyes.

However, it couldn't obstruct the machine's line of sight. Similar traces were suddenly interspersed in the dense bullet screen shot from top to bottom, but these were from bottom to top. The battery nails penetrated the useless steel plates on the railing and hit the ground. For the soldiers of the Guards, the steel nails either shattered the legs or pierced the chest, and sparked eye-catching sparks the moment they came into contact with the opponent's armor.

"Fack! Fack! Medic, I'm shot!"

The soldier clutched his bloody thigh and fell to the ground. He groaned in pain and was dragged away by his teammates. The energy bar on his back had already turned red.Another soldier came to fill his position, but a steel nail hit his head as soon as he was in position. The sturdy helmet failed to block the 6-times-sonic tungsten arrow-shaped bullet, which was shot into the brain from the cheekbone and brought out. After a line of blood, he fell to the ground.

"Raise the alarm! Let Lieutenant General Glass know that we have been deceived, this is the enemy's trap!"

The captain of the Marine Corps is a resolute tough guy. The captain guessed something beyond the surface, and immediately called his adjutant: "All the information is false, we should turn on the engine and escape from this galaxy immediately, and we must Hurry up. Take a platoon to the engine area right away, don’t let the enemy land there, understand!”

"What about here?"

"I will block it, you go!"

The adjutant nodded and immediately ran back. He ran into a rail train and greeted a group of Marines.And just as they left, there were several shouts:

"Mike is down, Medic!"

"The carapace on these guys is too thick for us to touch... Ah, my hand!"

Boom—the sound of explosions came from below, and the cyborg soldiers quickly interspersed with the honeycomb-shaped hangar to avoid the dense rain of bullets overhead. Oval-shaped grenades were thrown from all directions, and the fragments hit the cyborgs. Sparks splash on the body, but defensive grenades are really not very meaningful to robots.

【Fire Suppression】

Violent firepower erupted from the ground, and they penetrated the steel plates under the Marines' feet, making them experience a "piercing male".The position of these soldiers has long been clearly analyzed by the background network, and the ordering and firepower distribution are completed in microseconds, and after this step, the cyber army enters the next step.

[Ejection jump, close the distance]

The folding backpack on the back of the robot unfolded, and the miniature solid rocket spewed out incandescent flames, allowing 24 cyborgs to rush up the 30-meter-high maintenance railing.The soldier who had just put a new magazine on his rifle behind the fence looked up and saw a black shadow jumping over him-then the moment the 200kg cyborg fell, it kicked the soldier's head. Let us hear the terrible sound of cervical fracture!

"Damn, shoot, shoot, kill these things!"

The soldiers shouted and cursed, but a grenade had already exploded in the crowd first.The fragments of the human body crackled like a rain of blood, and the black figure in the smoke screen had already rushed in front of the survivors. A metal fist hit the helmet of one person, and the naked eye could see that the visor was deeply sunken, and it was clearly audible. I saw the sound of the alveolar bone cracking and the scream of being blocked in the throat.Turning around, the cyborg grabbed the person next to him and threw him off the fence like a chicken. Who told you that you have artificial gravity at a height of 30 meters.

"The line has been breached, retreat to the hangar entrance!"

The captain yelled, he had already picked up a rocket launcher - it was originally forbidden to use such equipment in the ship, but now they can't care about anything, the rocket rocket rushed out of the barrel with a trail of flames, but who would have thought that the other side The cyber army picked up the gun with one hand, and one shot hit the flying rocket to make it invisible.

"boom!"

The black figure is the incarnation of death, and the short-barreled carbine shoots a dense rain of bullets to the front waist. Amidst countless curses and curses, these soldiers screamed and fell down like wheat!When all those who were still standing and did not find cover were dead, the millimeter-wave scanners of these robot soldiers had seen the people hiding behind the wall, and their chests suddenly opened. It turned out that there was a six-tube Missile launcher, a shimmering missile bounced off the wall, then swerved—

The work was done, but none of the cyborgs was in a happy mood. These robots surveyed the ground, could not hear the screams at all, and judged that the execution of these doomed people was just a waste of ammunition.

[Clear the area, send a landing signal, the area has been secured]

The head of the cyber army flickered a few times, and the transmitters composed of 24 airframes also completed their work. Immediately, the sound of engines lit up outside the Cape Town airport, and the next job of these cyber army is ...

"Bang bang bang!"

Three gunshots sounded, two of the pistol bullets drifted to unknown places, and the third shot passed a cyborg and hit the wall.This successfully attracted the attention of the robot soldier, and just when the person holding the gun was about to fire the fourth shot, a strong light flashed, and the laser beam bursting out from the robot's eyes hit the person's visor, burning The surface was eroded or the temperature burned the eyes. At this time, I rolled on the ground in pain.

[Target analysis, military rank captain (RIG armor rank), middle-level officer, may have high-value information, mainly to release the action force]

Outside the airport, the Raven shuttle, which was flying at a slow speed, obviously fell unnaturally for a while after entering the artificial gravity field, but this time there were living pilots on it who immediately increased their efforts so that the shuttle could land on the wreckage. Find a place to hover.

Jumping from the raven one after another heavy infantry, they quickly launched operations to occupy all aspects of the airport.Each Raven carries two SEA mechs. The huge strength of these big guys is just in handy now. They can carry out large-scale plasma torches to violently demolish the buildings here, and clear out a clean space for the The heavy infantry can bring in the supplies prepared for this operation.

"Report to Admiral Kanifik, the enemy ship's airport has been captured, we will establish a foothold here to ensure the path of the follow-up troops!"

Clayton Carmine jumped off the shuttle while reporting. He looked up at the hovering raven. Sometimes you would be amazed at the carrying capacity of this small aircraft with a length of only 20 meters. Look, some ferry Raven not only brought two SEA mechs, but one even brought four heavy-duty sickle mechs, and the other Raven didn't bring any people, but a drone with a full cabin.

"Good guy, these things are enough for the people inside to drink a pot!"

When the box is opened, small insect drones are activated. These small nanomachines carrying self-destructing explosives are exactly the idea of ​​the Sun Weapon that Renlian once suffered, and is now mastered by Renlian.Renlian spared no expense, this Raven brought eight boxes, and each box contained five hundred drones. When these small things began to follow the path from the hangar to the inside of the ship, the pipelines and all the gaps went When drilled inside, I imagined that the soldiers of the Land Guards would experience unimaginable horrors.

"Okay, brothers, some other fire teams have entered the interior of this battleship through other openings in the hull. They are fighting alone. We must join them from here immediately and take this ship, understand? Act fast! "

Clayton yelled as he and a heavy Sphinx team took the elevator built on the spot to the fence above the hangar. There were many battles, and many enemy soldiers were dying, crying out faintly, begging for help.
