The unmanned sentry system is about the size of a football and floats in the air at a height of five to six hundred meters.
The early warning range of each unmanned sentinel system is very wide, and can cover an area of about ten kilometers long and three kilometers wide.
However, its limitation is that it has relatively high environmental requirements and is suitable for use on plateau slopes with open views. For example, it is almost ineffective in swamps with dense vegetation and dense fog.
This also means that although Mertes successfully escaped from the New Watch Castle, he is now firmly trapped in the Ball Fern Swamp area and cannot fly! Once he tries to escape from the surrounding area, he will definitely be killed in the next place. was discovered within a short period of time.
In the next few days, what the Federal Army and the Star Consortium have to do is to act steadily and find this bastard!
After Hank walked down the gangway, the unique sound of the hydraulic transmission starting up sounded behind him, and then the tail hatch of the "Hercules" transport aircraft slowly opened, and it fell heavily to the ground like a trestle.
The wet soil was squeezed out of shape in an instant, and a large amount of sewage gushed out, carrying an unpleasant rancid smell.
Immediately afterwards, two "Mang Mammy Siege Tanks" and four "Flying Fire Chariots" drove out one after another along the trestle built by the hatch.
Different from the design concept of conventional tanks, the tracks of the "Mengma Siege Tank" adopt a composite design. There are 4 sets of tracks in total, which are distributed under the four wheel corners of the tank.
Each set of crawlers is designed as a main and auxiliary track. Engineers equipped two additional sets of auxiliary tracks next to the main track to improve stability.
Moreover, thick alloy plates are installed outside the track sections to resist the threat from anti-tank rockets. Engineers also ingeniously installed a series of inspection pipes on the chassis and bogies. The inspection pipes are equipped with a repair self-starting system, which can deal with the damage caused by the attack. Spray the damaged track with a quick-drying glue.
This kind of quick-drying glue can replace damaged track sections, allowing the "Mengma Siege Tank" to be quickly repaired after the track is damaged, so that it can still maintain maneuverability in the short term, still operate normally, and be active on the battlefield.
Not only that, the armor of the "Mengma Siege Tank" is made of the newly developed homogeneous alloy titanium steel. Without special armor-piercing bullets, there is no way to penetrate this rough and thick armor.
Of course, everything has its pros and cons, which makes the Mengma siege tank's mobility an absolute shortcoming.
The most proud thing is that the Mengma siege tank has a dual-mode fire control system, which are "tank mode" and "siege mode".
In tank mode, a double-barreled electromagnetic gun is used to fire two warheads: "Vortex armor-piercing projectile" and the brand-new "Night Owl tracking projectile". This kind of clearly pointed warhead can be used in the melee between the enemy and our armies. , can greatly reduce the chance of accidental damage to friendly forces and implement precise single-target penetrating strikes.
Once the siege mode is enabled, the "Mengma Siege Tank" will extend its four sets of tracks outwards, and protrude two hydraulic brackets that resemble steel claws from the center of the tank, transforming into a six-legged tank reinforced form, fully transformed into a six-legged tank. Become a fixed fort!
Then, the twin 90mm plasma cannons will convert into terrifying 180mm impact cannons, and fire "Scavenger heavy grenades", which will cause horrific damage to enemies in a wide range.
Not only that, the Mengma siege tank relies on its own special "Sky Eye" fire targeting system, and its effective range reaches an astonishing eight kilometers, which is almost twice the effective range of ordinary tanks (1-4 kilometers).
It can carry out covering and devastating attacks on enemy positions in all directions.
It is precisely because of this that the Mengma siege tanks are extremely consistent with the "grounded" tactics of the Federal Army. Any ground enemy facing the Mengma siege tanks in siege mode will lose the courage to attack.
Because few troops can accept the cruel fact that they have to endure more than half of the casualties before reaching the enemy's base wall.
After the Starry Sky Consortium suffered a big loss from giant blood worms that were good at burrowing into the ground, they have urgently developed seismometers and oscilloscopes for detecting underground shock waves.
After connecting it to the fire control system of the Mengma siege tank, it means that the three-dimensional defense system of the entire base has been completely formed. The range of this vehicle is amazing, and the shell explosion covers and kills big guys with a diameter of more than 20 meters, which will be those hateful ones.
A protist’s nightmare!
However, this time, Hank mobilized the federal ace: the Mengmao siege tanks, and the purpose was to attack.
At this time, it is almost certain that there is a base of the Red Solo Star Pirates in the Ball Fern Swamp, and it seems to be running quite well.
Because among the seven fighter planes sent to chase Mertes and his gang, two were shot down by the people from the Chisuo Star Pirates Base.
In order to avoid excessive casualties, of course, it can also be said that in order to catch or kill Meltes as soon as possible, Hank has used all his resources.
Suddenly, there were faint explosions and firefights from afar, as well as black smoke rising from the air. Hank frowned and immediately jumped onto a "Spike" next to him.
Battle Lane:
"Go, go."
The Spitfire Chariot he designed is a light, high-speed chariot, and it has been modified to suit the planet's environment. It can switch to a hovercraft mode when traveling on swampy ground.
Its role is usually used to conduct enemy reconnaissance, rapid reinforcements, has amazing high-speed mobility, and is cheap.
From a distance, the "Spiky Fire Chariot" does indeed look like a "sand quad bike". The front of the vehicle is long and flat, but the butt at the rear is quite large, just like a sandwich with four donuts on a skewer.
The "Flying Fire Chariot" is equipped with a flamethrower and a machine gun on the roof. It can spray tar flames while moving, which can be used to clean up large groups of infantry. It can also use the machine gun to suppress fire.
If Casio was not there, then it must have been Hank who had the highest order, so the four "Spiky Fire" tanks immediately aimed at the place where the accident occurred and galloped over.
Soon, they came to the place where the explosion sound came. It was a forest of purple fungi. Each fungus was almost five or six meters high, and the cap above it was at least fifty or sixty square meters in size.
People who come here for the first time will definitely feel as if they have entered a legendary fairy tale world after seeing such a scene.
His size was reduced by N times, and then he was thrown into this lonely mushroom forest. It would not be unusual if an ant bigger than a horse or a fly bigger than a cow crawled out the next second.
After looking around the battlefield, you can see that the previous battle was short but fierce. One of the five-meter-high fungi also had its stem damaged and was directly blown to the side of the road.
The air was filled with a large number of spores spilled from the cap, and the stars were emitting purple light, which was very good.
The source of the black smoke is a military patrol off-road vehicle. It is now on its side on the side of the road, with flames burning, and little bits of blood splashing around it. It feels very tragic at first sight.
A wounded man was leaned against the stone next to him. Blood kept pouring out from under his body, forming a large puddle. His body was twitching. Hank knew immediately that there was no way to save him.
.
At this time, several people hurried back from a distance, led by a lieutenant. Reinforcements came all the way here, and they immediately shouted:
"HELP!"
Hank nodded to the adjutant, and the adjutant walked over to ask about the situation. After a while, he came back and said:
"The lieutenant was ordered to lead his men to search nearby and mark the terrain. The car that was attacked was driven by his men."
"After the incident, the lieutenant rushed over as soon as possible. After questioning the wounded, he found out that the enemy had predicted their advance route and laid mines on the road. They waited until they triggered the mines and then killed them. Successfully
Two wounded soldiers were captured."
"Fortunately, he arrived in time and caught up with the enemy. Now the lieutenant used a squad of troops to hold on to the enemy. Because he injured his arm, he withdrew from the line of fire and came back to ask for help."
After hearing this, Hank immediately said:
"Go and help! Just capture a few prisoners so we can find out what's true!"
As soon as he gave the order, the four Spitfire tanks immediately switched to air cushion mode. The eight jets on both sides of the body quickly opened, then sprayed out strong airflow, and then drove into the swamp without any hindrance, heading towards the place pointed by the lieutenant.
The direction quickly crossed over!
***
Little did Hank know that all his actions would eventually fall into the compound eyes of a spore moth hovering in the sky.
This kind of spore moth is the most common existence in the mushroom forest. Although it is called a moth, it is actually at least the size of a swallow. It feeds on mushroom spores floating in the air.
Of course, there are also many spore moths that are greedy for food and pounce directly into the folds of the thick cap of the fungus. As a result, they are directly stuck by the mucus, which finally turns into nutrition for the fungus.
Obviously, this spore moth was disguised as a mechanical gyrfalcon, and everything it saw in its compound eyes was reflected back to the distant eyes of Fang Linyan and others.
Fang Linyan said to Lieutenant Colonel Damoke:
"This is a perfect opportunity! I have studied that Hank has a brave personality, but he often puts himself in danger!"
"Let's split up now. Concentrate your firepower on Hank. It's best if you can kill him. If not, you will definitely force the people left behind in the base to come to the rescue with all their strength."
"We can take advantage of this opportunity and give them a hard blow on their newly built base!"
Lieutenant Colonel Damoc remained silent, but he had always been a low-key person, so not speaking meant there was no problem.
