"After receiving the live signal, the picture starts to be transmitted."
"..."
In the main control room of the Xiangjiang base, which is the headquarters of the Earth Defense Force, voices are rising one after another, and the large ring-shaped screen in the center has all been lit up, showing pictures one after another.
There are high-altitude images transmitted by satellites, topographic maps that have been explored for a long time, and meteorological cloud maps, but most of them are electronic, infrared and other layers transmitted by various instruments set up at observation posts set up on high mountains.
Those people at the back can still see the scene for the first time.
Fangs, sharp claws, can dig holes!
This is a striking feature that can be seen at a glance. Coupled with the slender body shape, it is very similar to a pangolin and other terrain creatures, which means that this monster is likely to move underground like earthworms and pangolins.
Just one look at this monster and the damage it caused made many people change their expressions.
If this is the case, then the high wall built on the ground will be of no use in front of the ground-burrowing monster, no matter how high it is, no matter how thick it is, no matter how strong it is.
Monsters only need to dig a hole to easily bypass these high walls that humans have built with great effort, and then enter the city to cause wanton destruction.
Just like the original Maginot Line, it seemed indestructible, but in fact it was full of loopholes.
Judging from the fact that this monster appeared in the center of the island without warning, it might have dug holes along the way, which means that all the early warning systems currently set up by the Earth Defense Force have become decorations and will no longer have any effect.
Early warning effect.
Because the current early warning system is all based on the premise that monsters swim from the sea, and does not consider other situations.
Because in the past twenty or thirty years, monsters have always swam from the sea, and other situations have never occurred, so naturally they will not consider other situations.
But now, the situation has changed, and the prerequisites have changed, so naturally everything behind has also changed.
As for starting to monitor the underground now...
Not to mention how big the workload is, how long it takes and how many resources it takes, just talking about the complex conditions of underground rock formations, the effect will be greatly reduced compared to the sky and the ocean.
At present, the most effective way to monitor underground is to monitor seismic waves. However, the large-scale passive monitoring of this thing only responds to earthquake levels. Although the monster is nearly 100 meters large, the underground excavation movements are compared with earthquakes.
It’s nothing. To say it’s a drop in the bucket is not an exaggeration at all. It may even be modest.
Because the current seismic wave monitoring earthquake instruments are not high enough in accuracy and are sparsely distributed, if you want to be accurate enough to detect monsters digging holes, you need to develop more accurate instruments and deploy massive monitors to collect enough data.
From the numerous underground signals, different fluctuations are found to determine the location of the monster.
Just thinking about the workload, you know how huge it is, how much manpower and material resources it requires, and how many programmers will lose their hair in countless head-scratching nights.
Even so, the effect is much lower than the sonar matrix in the sea. The monster may have to crawl out before the trace of the monster is discovered.
If the early warning effect is greatly reduced, the benefits will be quite low.
The most important thing is that inland areas will also become unsafe and unreliable, not just coastal cities.
Wouldn't that mean hell everywhere?
Just thinking about this made everyone in the central control room look serious, especially the senior officials, whose faces tightened even more.
Coastal cities are not safe, so stay away and settle inland. But if monsters come down from the ground in the future, there will be no safe rear area. Everywhere may become the front line of battle, and monsters may emerge from somewhere.
.
The most important thing is that humans currently have no effective anti-ground weapons.
There are missiles for the air, which can reach satellites in low-Earth orbit as far as possible. There are torpedoes, deep-sea bombs, etc. for the sea, but there are only earth-penetrating missiles for the earth. But the heaviest earth-penetrating missiles range from 10,000 to 20,000 meters.
If dropped from a high altitude, it can penetrate into the soil layer of one to two hundred meters, and it cannot go into the rock layer.
But even if the depth is 300 meters, to the monster, there are only a few of them, and it will probably take a while to get out.
When a bomb is dropped from an altitude of 10,000 to 20,000 meters, the time it takes for the light to fall, even if the wind speed is not taken into account, is one minute. Such a long time is enough for a monster to destroy a city block.
In other words, once the monsters really emerge from the ground from now on, there will be no safe zone on the earth, and it will be difficult for humans to grasp the location of the monsters in advance, and the damage will be immeasurable.
Only when the monster emerged from the ground did we know where the monster was, and then we began to prepare for the departure of the mecha hunter, then hoisted it up and rushed on...
By the time we get there, I'm afraid even if it's not a monster, half of the city will be lost.
Under everyone's solemn gaze, the Hercules transport plane has transported the two Mecha Hunters to the designated location.
"Cherno Alpha, Victory Alpha has arrived at the designated location."
"Ready to launch."
"Ten seconds countdown to delivery."
"ten!"
"Nine!"
"eight!"
"..."
"one!"
"Unlock, release."
Following the order, the buckles of the hoisted Mecha Hunter opened in unison, allowing the Mecha Hunter to begin to fall freely, and then stepped heavily on the ground.
Boom!
Boom!
Two huge roars sounded, which could be said to shake the mountains and the earth. The resulting air waves stirred up a large amount of dust and rolled up countless sand and stones. In an instant, it could be said that sand and stones were flying, spreading in all directions like a sandstorm, destroying nearby trees.
There was a loud scraping sound, and the grass and trees were bent even further.
This scene was very spectacular, and the momentum was also huge. The two mechas fell back and forth, bent their knees and bent over, using this action to relieve their falling force, and then slowly stood up. When they stood upright, they looked like
It stands proudly among the mountains, standing in the deep valley, and has a good view of the mountains and small mountains.
The searchlights on his body were shining all around, and the helicopter overhead was illuminating the road, making the dark night almost turn into daylight, bright and clear, without any sign of darkness.
"Cherno Alpha stands by, Victory Alpha prepares to attack."
The main control room at the rear issued battle orders and set the tone of the battle.
That is to kill it while it sleeps.
Let's have a sneak attack without any sense of martial ethics.
Victory Alpha immediately raised his arms, and then moved them inwards. In a series of symphonies of machinery and gears, the big arms were tightly stuck on both sides of the chest, and the small arms were bent at ninety degrees and extended forward in parallel.
Create a forward trajectory.
After the preparations were completed, the power furnace on the chest began to accelerate and output a massive amount of energy. First, the two parallel small arms received a large amount of electricity to form a strong magnetic field, and then a high-energy particle flow was injected into this strong magnetic field.
After the speed and concentration of the high-energy particle flow reach a certain level, a hole is opened at the front end of the magnetic field, just like poking a hole in an inflated balloon, and the particle flow inside will naturally flow along this 'hole'.
Go out and hit the target as desired.
The idea is good and the strategy is good.
But plans never keep up with changes.
The power furnace of Victory Alpha here just started to accelerate. Bugs, who had been lying on the ground without moving for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes.
Chiba Makoto, who had been observing with a telescope, immediately pulled the headset and shouted: "The monster opened its eyes."
As an on-site observation post, after the Mecha Hunters arrived, they joined the communication channel and were immediately heard by the pilots of the two Mecha Hunters.
Sure enough, as soon as Chiba Makoto finished speaking, two 'searchlight'-like lights lit up on both sides of the monster's head, which were the monster's eyes, and then its huge body started to move.
If it shakes, the mountain will shake; if it moves away, the earth will tremble.
This shows how heavy the monster is.
"Let's go up, you continue." The driver of Cherno Alpha said, took a few steps forward, and leaned slightly closer to Victory Alpha, blocking the left front of Victory Alpha, which not only retained the shooting range, but also
You can top it up at any time.
Even though the monster moved with an astonishing momentum, far exceeding any that had been encountered in the past, the pilot of Cherno Alpha showed no fear and faced the monster without any hesitation, and was bound to block it.
, buy enough time for Victory Alpha.
"Energy accumulation reaches 30%."
Gordis the monster pulled his head out of the cave and turned around.
"Energy accumulation reaches fifty percent."
The monster Bugs was walking around with his head shaking, looking as if he had just woken up.
"Energy accumulation reaches 80%."
Monster Bugs has opened his eyes wide, staring at Cherno Alpha standing in the mountains in front of him, and Victory Alpha with a bright chest in the back. From his slightly opened mouth, a series of saliva flowed out, as if
What a delicacy I saw.
"Energy accumulation completed, ready to shoot."
The voice full of joy reaches everyone's ears through electromagnetic waves, allowing many people to finally relax their anxious hearts and reveal a little smile on their tense faces.
Originally worried that it would be too late, the monster Bugs rushed over and fought with Cherno Alpha, which would cause trouble.
If you can't fight or wait, you will face a dilemma.
Now, Monster Bugs moves slowly, allowing Victory Alpha to complete its energy storage, thus avoiding the worst case scenario.
"go to hell!"
With the roar of the two pilots in Victory Alpha, the two people with the same mind pressed the attack button together, allowing the locked strong magnetic field to open up, allowing the flow of high-energy particles bound by the strong magnetic field to find
The pouring mouth is like water that breaks a dike and pours out thousands of miles. It pours out of it in an instant, and is driven forward at an extremely fast speed by inertia.
Seen from a distance, the bright light on Victory Alpha's chest turned into a thin stream of light that penetrated the night sky and instantly hit the body of the swaying monster Bugs.
Sparks flew out instantly, drowning the monster Bugs in an instant, followed by a deafening roar that made people's ears buzz, and then the shock wave set off by the explosion scratched the left side of the body.
Shaking right and left, I almost lost my footing.
The thin Yukino felt as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer. In the hurricane-like impact, her whole body fell backwards involuntarily. The sand and gravel mixed in the wind hit her exposed skin painfully.
Even with the mask on, you can smell the choking dust that comes with the wind. Through the goggles, you can only see the gray haze, and you can't see anything else.
While swaying, Yukino felt her waist being held by a strong arm, and then she couldn't help but move towards that side. Then a familiar figure blocked the front, the wind weakened instantly, and the sand and gravel began to hit again.
It's no longer on her body.
"New Tai..."
As Yukino murmured, all her attention was attracted by the 'Argenta' standing in front of her, and she could not see a golden stream of light flying out of the other hand of Arata and shooting towards the sky.
Originally, this light was extremely bright at night, but the particle cannon launched by Victory Alpha erupted into bright light that was brighter than the sun and reached a dazzling level. In comparison, this light was nothing at all.
With his attention so focused, he couldn't even notice the golden 'shooting star' flying into the sky.
Especially in the main control room, the noise just now has disappeared. Everyone is holding their breath and staring at the shaking big screen, waiting for the results.
The dust from the explosion blocked satellite images, and the ultra-high temperature fire completely rendered infrared ineffective. It was impossible to judge the status of the attack. Naturally, no effective information could be provided. The only option was to turn off the mic and wait, so as not to disturb the soldiers on the front line.
Especially Cherno Alpha, who was standing at the front, did not dare to relax at all and still maintained a fighting posture. The two pilots did not even blink, and their breathing slowed down a lot.
Then...
Angry!
A high-pitched roar came from the surging flames and dust, shocking the world and shaking all directions.
"The monster is still alive." Cherno Alpha was the first to hear it, and was also the first to shout it. However, before he finished speaking, he saw a sudden bulge of dust in front of him, and then he was hit with a big hole, and a huge and ferocious head appeared.
It came out of the hole, and along with it were three sharp claws that shone coldly in the firelight. Then, driven by the force of the forward thrust, they slapped Cherno Alpha hard on the left side of the waist.
Sparks flew and debris flew.
Amidst the harsh sound of metal friction, Cherno Alpha's strong armor was as fragile as tofu in front of Bugs's claws, and a large hole was easily torn out in the left waist area.
Then Bugs, who was jumped on the abdomen, was knocked upside down. The composite armor on the front was enough to withstand the most powerful armor-piercing bullets, but it was pierced by the sharp corner of Bugs' nose, and then penetrated deeply into Cherno
Alpha's body was then knocked backwards by the huge force and fell heavily to the ground.
