"Actually... there is a heavy weapon on the transport ship, but..."

"What are you talking about?!" Benson raised his head in great displeasure, and was about to curse, but he was shocked to find that the person speaking was not his subordinates, but the captain of the material escort unit.

"Uh...I mean...where did the heavy weapons come from..." Benson's tone was slightly embarrassed. They were still reluctant to offend the people escorting the troops. No consortium would be stupid enough.

Go against the powerful military.

"In the batch of supplies we escorted, there was a harpoon-type heavy cannon. This is special equipment that the Pioneer applied to Ark a month ago. It is specially used to deal with some powerful sea beasts..."

"And this thing?" The supplies in the cargo hold were all sealed in metal boxes, and Benson was not interested in looking through the supply list, so he didn't even know that there was such a thing on the transport ship. He thought

The items sent to the pioneers this time were all regular supplies.

"It's just that... the recoil of this harpoon heavy cannon is very strong. It must be fixed on a ship or a battleship before it can be fired. However, there is no place to install a base on this transport ship." The escort captain appeared and said awkwardly.

"Can we put weapons on the Pioneer?" the huntress named Sharon asked.

"I'm afraid not." The escort captain shook his head and pointed to the observation window at his feet, "Let's not mention that we have no way to approach the Pioneer. Look at the situation on the deck. Those people can't even protect themselves. It's impossible for them to survive.

In this case, the assembly of the weapon is completed."

"That is to say, this weapon is actually of no help to the current situation, right." Benson looked at the battle situation below with a gloomy face.

"...But this should be the only weapon that can threaten those creatures." The escort captain was silent for more than ten seconds before he choked out these words.

"What's the difference between a gun that can't shoot and an iron rod?" Benson waved his hand, "Let the transport ship directly carry out the satellite launch mission and then return. As for those people on the Pioneer... Humph, yes

If you are stupid enough to send a request for help to an unarmed transport ship, you will not die unjustly."

With that said, he took off the walkie-talkie hanging on the bulkhead and planned to let the transport ship leave.

At this time, Ke Lan finally couldn't help but said: "Wait a minute!"

"Huh?" Benson turned his head, "What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do? You have to know that my decision is responsible for the lives of everyone on the transport ship, including you guys. Is it possible that you want to

Are we all going to be buried with the Pioneer?"

"If they want to be a hero, just let them jump from here. It's none of our business." Sharon, standing behind Benson, said, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the hunters of the Aurora Consortium.

"Yes, jump down and fall from the sky, how majestic it is!"

"Maybe those monsters just ate you to fill their stomachs, and then left? If you're lucky, you might even get a posthumous medal, hahaha!"

…

Ke Lan ignored the sarcasm and ridicule, but looked at the escort captain and asked: "The harpoon heavy cannon can be fired directly, right?"

"The firing mechanism and barrel are pre-installed on the Ark. As long as the cannonball can be loaded into it, it can theoretically be fired. But the problem is that this is not an individual weapon that can be carried on the shoulder. There is no

You can't even aim at the bracket and base." The escort captain sighed, "I think it's better to give up."

"As long as the base problem can be solved, it can be used, right?" Ke Lan asked again.

"Are you planning to make a simple base? It's not as easy as you think. The Harpoon Heavy Cannon is different from conventional artillery. Its shell is actually a giant harpoon equipped with a rocket propeller. It passes through six high-strength

The steel cable is connected to the base. After hitting the target, the icebreaker's own power is used to drag the target out of the sea... You have also seen that the power of those deep-sea giant eels can even shake the icebreaker. How can the temporarily assembled bracket withstand that?

What kind of impact?"

"Maybe you can try." Ke Lan turned around and said to Zhuoligetu and Leiton, "Can you do what I just told you?"

"If it's just the tasks assigned to me, that's no problem." Layton said, patting his chest.

"I can try." Zhuo Ligetu also nodded.

"What are you going to do?" The escort captain looked at Ke Lan and others in confusion, "I have already said that the base needs to withstand a huge pulling force. Even a modified person cannot resist that force."

"Let's get the weapons from the cargo hold first. I have to see the actual implementation plan before I can make a conclusion." Ke Lan said.

"Are you kidding?" The escort captain looked a little angry, "I have to declare in advance that if the equipment is damaged due to your fault, you need to pay full compensation!"

"Uh...how much is that thing worth?"

"Six million and eight hundred thousand credits!"

"It's indeed quite expensive... But I also want to ask, if the weapon is damaged, but we successfully save the Pioneer, how will it be calculated?"

"Are you dreaming? Just you guys? Even if I give you ten heavy harpoon cannons, you may not be able to kill those monsters. I think it's better to save it." Benson mocked at the side.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Ke Lan asked.

"Do you know what your behavior is called? It's called overestimating your abilities - I really don't know how you can survive to this day?" Benson said with disdain, "Besides, just you guys can afford six hundred

Eight hundred thousand coming?”

"Of course, look, how much is this?" Ke Lan showed his account. Just now, he asked Hound, Layton and others to transfer all their credit points to him. Together, they just made up.

Seven million credits were issued.

"Haha, this is all your belongings, right? You won't have to borrow money from usury, right? If this money is gone, you may not even be able to eat, right?" Benson sneered.

"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, we can afford to pay for this." Ke Lan said to the escort captain again, "Can we try it now?"

"Okay..." Seeing that Ke Lan could give out so many credits, the escort captain had nothing to say. Anyway, as long as the compensation amount was in place, even if the weapon was damaged, he would not have to bear any additional responsibility.

What's more... if these people really succeed, he will also receive a considerable amount of credit. No one has any reason to refuse this kind of business that is guaranteed to make money without losing money.

"I want to see how you go about it." Benson crossed his arms and sat down on the seat next to him.

Ke Lan looked at the captain of the Aurora Consortium's advance team up and down, and suddenly said: "You know... you look like those stupid villains in cool novels who are about to be slapped in the face."

"What do you mean, kid?!" Benson, who usually doesn't read novels at all, didn't understand the meaning of Ke Lan's words for a while, but at least he could understand the word "Si Que".

"It's not interesting, I'm just telling the truth." Ke Lan shrugged, ignored Benson, and led Layton and the others directly to the cargo hold at the rear of the transport ship.

The Harpoon Heavy Cannon is stored in a metal container that is two meters wide, high, and nine meters long, but this is only the main body of the gun. The sight, base, shells, etc. are all installed in a dozen other containers of different sizes.

Inside the box.

After transferring the 6.8 million compensation deposit to the escort captain, the latter took out the key and opened the container.

The main body of the Harpoon Heavy Cannon is a bit like an ancient giant ballistae, except that the bowstring and mechanism have been replaced by acceleration coils and crystal energy converters, and the grooves used to accommodate the crossbow arrows have become electromagnetic with a metallic luster.

Slide rail.

At the end of the barrel, there are several bowl-sized slots, which are used to install heat sink rods.

Electromagnetic weapons are different from gunpowder weapons. The recoil produced by gunpowder weapons when launched is instantaneous and explosive. As long as you can withstand that force, the projectile of electromagnetic weapons feeds back during the launch process.

A continuous and uniform force, just like the high-pressure water gun of a fire truck, requires higher strength for the base and bracket.

"It's not that I don't trust you," the escort captain said as he opened another box. Inside the box were four "harpoons" that were more than six meters long and shaped like missiles. The front end was a sharp arrow made of Nino alloy.

It has expandable barbs and six disposable rocket thrusters installed on its tail.

"There are only six shells in total, and there are so many sea beasts besieging the Pioneer. Even if you can kill one with every shot, it will be of no use."

"When there are not enough cannonballs, why not let them get into the barrel of the cannon and launch themselves out." Benson, who was following, leaned against the door of the cargo hold, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, which was silver-white.

The lighter crackled between his fingers, and he glanced at Ke Lan and the others with a look of gloating.
