Alien Relic Hunter

Compared to ordinary humans, the Ghost-Faced Owl has overwhelming combat power. In a normal battle, a Ghost-Faced Owl can easily wipe out a platoon of human reinforcements without heavy equipment.

However, the internal space of the battleship is small, and the space for the huge ghost-faced giant owl is severely limited. In addition, this group of ghost-faced giant owl still belongs to the category of flying creatures, not the ones Ke Lan and the others encountered on the ground. This kind of mutated "land combat type" will have its strength greatly reduced when it is unable to fly.

The combination of various unfavorable factors prevented these ghost-faced giants from going on a killing spree inside the battleship. Instead, they were temporarily suppressed with firepower by the officers and soldiers of the "Shaojiang Kai".

It has to be said that the deformed and stuck cabin door played a great role - because the opening gap was too small, the ghost-faced giant owl could only get into the corridor one by one from the cabin at the other end. Hruni and the others were given the opportunity to defeat each one. Two marines wearing heavy power armor were at the front, and their 25mm rapid-fire cannons let out a deafening roar, beating the ghost-faced giant owl into a bloody mess as it entered the corridor.

The corpse of the killed Ghost-faced Owl will decompose and fester quickly, so there will be no corpses blocking the road. With these two rapid-fire cannons as the vanguard, Hruni led a team of marines, guards, civilian officers and The mixed force composed of logistics personnel moved forward steadily.

"Pay attention to the temperature of the barrel and be careful about overheating and exploding the barrel! Once the temperature approaches the warning threshold, report it in advance and I will ask someone to change positions!" The person who shouted the message was Dean, the deputy captain of the "Shaojiang Kai" Marine Corps and the captain of the Marine Corps. He had previously been killed in the explosion of the No. 6 anti-aircraft turret ammunition depot, and now he was the highest-ranking officer in the Marine Corps.

There are still five pieces of heavy power armor equipped with large-caliber rapid-fire cannons in the Marine Corps, but Dean did not put these five pieces of power armor and five cannons into battle at once - the space inside the battleship is small and the corridors are wide. No more than ten meters, the two cannons plus the light weapons in the hands of other soldiers are enough to complete the fire suppression. As for the three extra armors and three cannons, they are used to replace the ammunition when the first two cannons overheat. Substitutes are carried out from time to time to maintain the continuity of firepower.

Soon, everyone pushed the battle line to the damaged hatch. The muzzles of the two rapid-fire cannons directly hit the crack of the door, pouring ammunition towards the large number of biological weapons gathered on the other side of the hatch.

Although there is a shortage of manpower, the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate is not short of ammunition at all - for a warship to perform such a long-distance mission, the ammunition, fuel and various military supplies carried on the ship must be guaranteed to be able to survive without receiving supplies. Moderate intensity combat can last for more than a week. Although two of the eight ammunition depots were exploded, and four were occupied by biological weapons or blocked the way, the remaining two were enough to give this mixed force of less than a hundred people a good fight.

"Captain! The advance is blocked!" Dean roared loudly. The roar of the rapid-fire cannon almost completely covered up his voice. He could only walk quickly to Hruni's side and repeated it into the latter's ear. Again.

"Can't you find a way to clear out the monsters blocking the door?" Hruni responded loudly in the same way after hearing what the vice-captain said clearly.

"It's not all clear! Those monsters are coming up one after another. The soldiers in power armor have been rotated in three batches, and the barrels of the rapid-fire machine guns have been replaced by more than a dozen. But looking through the crack in the door, the monsters' The number doesn’t seem to be decreasing at all…”

Hruni raised his head and looked forward, and saw that the ground beside the door was already piled with brass bullet casings as thick as cigars. Several soldiers wearing powered exoskeletons were loading boxes of heavy bullet chains behind the team. Moved to the front, the legs of the two powered armors that were raising their cannons to shoot into the hatch were almost buried in bullet casings.

Just like Ke Lan who was watching the video, Hruni's heart couldn't help but sink.

Although they gained an advantage in the first close encounter with biological weapons, this advantage was honestly not obvious... The number of biological weapons that invaded the "Shaojiang Kai" battleship was around two hundred, and they had just killed them. There are less than ten biological weapons in total.

A victory of this magnitude can boost everyone's morale, but its impact on the overall battle situation is actually minimal.

"Use that thing." Hruni thought for a while and said.

"What?!" Dean was stunned for a moment. He almost thought he heard wrongly. "Captain, the 'that thing' you are talking about refers to... a small tactical nuclear bomb? Used... inside a battleship?"

For the Marines on the battleship, small tactical nuclear bombs for individual soldiers are standard weapons on the equipment list. Although there are very few occasions when they can be used, each Marine will still be equipped with 3-4 2.5 nuclear bombs. A small tactical nuclear warhead with the equivalent of tons of TNT.

The main heavy fire support for the Marines comes from the weapons on the battleships, but sometimes the Marines are required to rely on ground vehicles or travel over mountains and rivers on their feet to carry out long-distance raids beyond the attack range of the battleships. These small Tactical nuclear bombs are designed to meet the Marines' urgent need for offensive weapons in this situation.

Even if many Marines continue to do this kind of mission until they retire, they may not be able to encounter it once.

But to use that very classic saying, "I can do without it, but you can't live without it."

"Apart from that thing, these rapid-fire cannons should be the most powerful weapons in your hands, right?" Hruni looked at Dean and asked in a deep voice.

"No, no, no... there should be a few lock-free rocket launchers, a few individual anti-aircraft missiles, and a few powerful defensive grenades with the equivalent of 40 kilograms of TNT..." Dean said.

"Can you guarantee that you can use these things to eliminate the indigenous creatures that invade the battleship?"

Dean fell silent.

It is true that relying on these weapons can indeed clear the distance of biological weapons from the hatch, but after they break through the hatch, they will soon be surrounded by more biological weapons coming up... By then, even if there are enough Explosives cannot be used in close combat, unless they can be ruthless enough to blow up their own people as well.

This battle is not a positional war or a tug-of-war, but a time-limited annihilation battle - if they cannot clean all the biological weapons of the invading warship and repair the damaged ones before the energy shield is broken, If the propeller is used, "Shaojiang Kai" will soon fall into a deeper desperate situation, and whether it crashes or not is just a matter of time.

"However, even a small tactical nuclear bomb has the equivalent of two and a half tons of TNT. Although this is nothing compared to the main gun of a battleship, but it detonated in a small space and inside the battleship, I'm afraid..."

Dean didn't say anything further, but both Hrouni and Ke Lan, who was watching the video, could understand what he didn't say directly.

The small tactical nuclear bomb with the equivalent of 2.5 tons of TNT is not very powerful, compared with the weapons on the battleship. A small tactical nuclear bomb of this size can blast a large crater with a diameter of 50 meters and a depth of 10 meters in an open wasteland with hard soil and rock formations dug down about three meters. Centered on the explosion point, the crater has a diameter of 300 meters. Even if people in Minai are hiding behind a bunker, they will die because their internal organs are shattered by the shock wave.

And if it detonates inside a warship with a small space, its power will be amplified several times.

Even Ke Lan felt that Hruni's idea was a bit too crazy.

If they don't control it well, they might be able to sink this "Shaojiang modified" frigate by themselves without using the biological weapons outside.

"We don't have much time left. This plan was originally a gamble. Since it is a gamble, we might as well put all our chips on it!" Hruni said with some ferocity, "I don't feel that kind of slow death at all. like!"

"Damn, Captain... you must be crazy! Damn, I must be crazy too!" Dean slapped his cheek hard twice, and then yelled at a Marine next to him: " Get Equipment No. 9!"

"Vice-captain, Captain, do you really want to use this thing?" The soldier stood nearby, and he listened to all the conversations between Dean and Hruni.

"Otherwise? If you were asked to choose, one way to die is to kill these monsters with a nuclear bomb, and the other way to die is to be dragged here by them and then buried with the crashed battleship, which one do you choose? More Besides, we may not die in the former way!" Dean patted the soldier's helmet hard, "Don't waste time, execute the order quickly!"

"Yes!" the soldier shouted with a sullen face, took the key that Dean handed him, turned around and ran towards the equipment warehouse.

"Bridge! Are the surveillance cameras in the occupied cabins still working?" Hruni looked up at the camera in the corner of the ceiling and asked.

"Captain, except for the severely damaged eleventh and thirteenth cabins, the surveillance cameras in other cabins are still functioning normally!" the voice of the officer staying on the bridge rang through the loudspeaker.

"Project the surveillance screen in front of me!" Hruni ordered.

At the same time, the soldier who was ordered to retrieve the small tactical nuclear bomb also ran over quickly carrying a metal box with several combination locks on his back.

Dean opened the metal box with his fingerprints and took out a launch tube that looked similar to a man-made missile. In fact, this thing was modified from the launch tube and rocket propeller of a man-made missile, except that The charging warhead was simply replaced with a nuclear warhead.

Hruni glanced at the surveillance screen. He found that the seventh to eleventh cabins had the largest number of biological weapons gathered. He immediately ordered: "Set the fuse of the tactical nuclear bomb to detonate ten seconds after launch. You need to launch this nuclear bomb." Can you do it when you reach this position?”

Hruni pointed to the location between the seventh and eleventh cabins.

"Okay." Dean nodded, "Just adjust the parameters of the thruster."

"Okay, you're ready to launch."

Dean dragged his fingers on the control surface of the launch tube a few times. After locking the setting parameters, he put the launch tube on his shoulders and faced the crack of the hatch.

"Open all the hatches at the rear," Hruni said to the bridge.

Although not all cabin doors are in the same straight line, this small tactical nuclear bomb is different from the non-locking rocket. As long as the parameters are set, it can turn, or it can be preset. It can stop at any position and height, and even hover briefly.

"Launch!" Seeing that Dean was ready, Hruni didn't hesitate at all.

After the individual missile carrying a nuclear warhead arrived in the seventh cabin, he immediately shouted: "Except for the seventh cabin to the eleventh cabin, all fire partitions and hatches are closed! The third, fourth and The sixth anti-aircraft turret and ammunition depot module are directly separated from the hull! Everyone, be prepared for impact!!"

The third, fourth and sixth anti-aircraft turrets are located just above the section of the hull from the seventh cabin to the eleventh cabin. Below the anti-aircraft turrets is the ammunition depot that stores a large amount of ammunition. In order to prevent these ammunition from exploding and further damaging the hull, Hruni could only choose to cut off his wrist and discard this part of the module.

Fortunately, the "Shaojiang-class" frigate's armament uses a modular structure, otherwise he would not be able to break off a strong man's wrist even if he wanted to.

Five pieces of heavy power armor directly stood at the front of the team in a half-kneeling posture, increasing the power of the small energy shield generator to the extreme. The fixed hooks that popped up from the legs and steps of the power armor were nailed into the metal floor of the battleship. Originally, in the rules for the use of power armor, in order to prevent damage to the ship's hull, soldiers wearing power armor were strictly prohibited from wearing power armor. Fixed anchor hooks are used in battleships, but at this time, no one will say anything about them.

Behind these five pieces of power armor, there are eight folding mobile shields that have been stretched out. Soldiers equipped with exoskeletons use their bodies to press behind these eight mobile shields, using their flesh and blood to A buffer layer was built.

Further back, others connected the safety buckles on their uniforms with the safety rings on the wall, holding their heads in their hands and slightly arching their bodies, waiting for the coming shock wave.

[P.S. Let me tell you a joke... When I checked the information today to check the yield of explosives and missiles, I planned to use the relatively well-known Patriot missile as a preliminary measurement standard. As a result, I found the first popular science article in Baidu Zhizhi. It comes up with the sentence "Patriot missiles can be equipped with nuclear warheads, with a yield of 30,000 to 50,000 tons and a killing radius of 20km"...

You must know that the "Little Boy" that many acquaintances built in Hiroshima had a yield of less than 20,000 tons... How can a surface-to-air missile like the Patriot be equipped with a 30,000-50,000-ton nuclear warhead?

Is this anti-aircraft missile designed to deal with space battleships?

The key is that the respondent still has an official account with a blue V logo, although I don’t know what kind of official he is...
