The "giant centipede" has re-burrowed into the ground. Judging from the changes in the size of the ground tremors, there is no doubt that it is heading towards Lichtem and Jack.
Damn it, if I had known this, I would have changed into a larger human form, so that I could at least run away without being held like this. Kaos was annoyed in his adoptive father's arms.
But it is an annoyance, and he will not make any move to struggle and insist on running away. In that case, regardless of whether he can complete the planned battle plan, if he is caught up by the bug, his own strength will at least be improved to
A level "comparable to a mutant giant worm", which is unacceptable to Kaos, who probably knows how deep the water in this world is, and just wants to live a peaceful life and watch the show silently.
Therefore, before the earth-boring insects only shook the surface but did not show up to attack, Kaos could only study the firearm on Lichtem's back in boredom.
It was an assault rifle with a silver-white body, pure black grip, muzzle, and sights, and an overall shape similar to a circular section, full of industrial beauty.
Its name is written on the body of the gun: [Colt Defender HD], but Kaos, who is blind with guns, has no idea what the name means.
To an old man, the only slightly surprising feature of firearms in the Mass Effect era was "infinite ammunition."
According to relevant introductions on the Buoy Network, it seems that because the mass effect field can change the mass of an object at will, traditional, fixed-shaped live ammunition becomes completely meaningless. These firearms only need to be cut from the metal strips embedded in the grip into extremely small pieces.
One piece, accelerated under the influence of the mass effect acceleration field, can cause horrific damage.
When Lichtemu and Jack switched it from rifle mode to sniper mode, the difference on the surface was that the front barrel was extended and the buffer grip popped up at the back, but in fact these two actions were to change the "Mass Effect Acceleration Field"
"When stretched, the same metal particles can achieve completely different initial velocities and lethality.
Of course, no matter how small the particles are, the metal strip itself will of course be consumed, probably after a few million rounds. Before that, the gun itself has been scrapped, so these mass effect firearms can achieve a "pseudo...
"Infinite Ammo" effect.
Although the firearm has "infinite ammunition", Star Alliance soldiers cannot press the trigger without letting go. The reason is quite ancient - because of the heat.
For example, this "Defender HD", in its rifle mode, after firing 45 consecutive rounds, the mass effect field generator will be overloaded due to excessive heat. As for the sniper mode, it can fire up to the third consecutive round, so experienced
Star Alliance soldiers will stop shooting and wait to cool down before they are overloaded, and the specific overheating progress is also displayed on the firearms, which looks quite...
Boom!
The giant centipede suddenly jumped out of the ground, and the huge jaws snapped and bit it. Lichtem and Jack were already more than 20 meters away from it. Lichtem held Kaos and had no time to shoot, but Jack switched to the rifle.
Mode fired at the big bug, but other than reconfirming the scope of its "Mass Effect Shield", there was no result.
If mass effect guns are spears, then mass effect shields are...shields. Kaos turned his attention to the mass effect shield floating on the surface of the giant insect.
Unlike city-level and space station-level complex shields, individual shields generally only have two options, blocking high-speed objects and blocking all objects.
The former is for various types of ammunition and explosive fragments, while the latter is generally only turned on in very dangerous environments. In this way, except for still objects, no moving objects can pass through the shield.
At present, it seems that the giant insect's shield should be similar to the former. After all, bullets cannot penetrate that thing, but it can dig holes.
Chi chi chi——
Although Jack's bullet had no effect, it still successfully attracted the attention of the big bug. It turned towards Lichtem, opened its mouth and let out a harsh, threatening roar.
But at this time, its back was completely facing the infantry vehicle driven by Eva.
"[Sabrais Mahafako——!]" As the female commander roared in foul language on the channel, a bright blue beam of light emitted from the roof of the infantry vehicle and hit the giant insect's rear directly.
back.
It is a "mass effect gun" that is completely different from the mass effect gun. Since the principles and limits of the mass effect generator are exactly the same, whoever can fire more and larger ammunition will naturally be more powerful. This is directly
As a result, today's Star Alliance Navy is not interested in most parameters of weapons. Just ask "caliber" and everything will be clear.
More is beautiful, bigger is better, and when attacks and defenses from the same origin collide, whoever is stronger wins.
Boom - tsk! "Squeak!"
After the giant earth-burrowing insect was struck twice by the sharp sword made of light, the corresponding sounds of piercing the air, penetration and screams were transmitted to the sound receiver built into Kaos's helmet.
"The battle was successful, congratulations to you, Lieutenant Kuhl." Lichtem put down Kaos and praised her with an attitude that he didn't hear the series of swear words she just said.
"[Ah, eh?]" Eva seemed to have just realized what she had said before, and her tone instantly became serious and even a little shy: "[Reporting to the commander, the target's living reaction and mass effect field have disappeared.]"
Jack next to him put his hand on his forehead, although he couldn't reach anything through his helmet.
"Okay, Lieutenant Cool, bring the car over, and we will take its body back to the laboratory for study." Lichtem completely ignored Eva's change in attitude: "Lieutenant Harper, contact the engineering ship and let him
He suspended space mining operations and first established a mining farm here, with the defense force tripled compared to conventional ones."
"[Received~]" "Yes, sir."
"Hmm... what is the use of the organs that can produce mass effect fields on this mutated creature?" Kaos looked around and saw that he had nothing to do, so he followed his adoptive father to check the corpse of the strange insect and asked.
"According to the data found in the ruins of Mars, the 'Mass Effect Shield' technology currently widely used by us originally came from reverse research on the organs of these mutated organisms. In order to expand this technology, the Naval Academy of Sciences purchased it at a high price
Of course, there are also private laboratories with relatively vague funds and backgrounds who are looking to purchase the mass effect field organs of any kind of mutated organisms." Lichtem explained briefly.
Oh, so the current scientific community is worried that it knows nothing about the technologies that are widely used by humans? Isn’t this idle?
Kaos vaguely heard that his adoptive father, as a Star Alliance naval officer, was not suitable to continue this topic, so he turned his attention to the miserable corpse of the strange insect.
At this moment, the giant insect's originally dull and lifeless triangular eyes moved slightly.
Countless chaotic and meaningless thoughts suddenly poured into Kaos's mind, just like a large basin of dirty water pouring into a water glass in an attempt to burst it. Obviously, this giant insect condensed all the thoughts.
The last counterattack of the remaining will.
If you are an ordinary person, you will probably either go crazy or become an idiot.
If you are an ordinary person.
"Ah sneeze!" Kaos sneezed suddenly, and coughed again when Lichtem turned around to look at him: "This thing is so disgusting. My nose feels itchy just looking at it. You can go to the car first."
Up?"
"Well, go ahead, thank you for your hard work." Lichtem nodded in agreement.
Really, do you think children are easy to bully? Are you kicking a brick wall? Kaos cursed as he walked towards the infantry vehicle.
Behind him, the giant insect's triangular eyes, which were originally somewhat shiny, had now become dim.
