Silicon Invasion

"Attack!"

The countdown ended, and the fixed frames on both sides retracted. Luo Rui's eyes sharpened as he gripped the control levers, slowly pushing them forward while simultaneously stomping on the energy pedal to increase power.

Warrior 7 strode forward, its cockpit swaying left and right. A situational awareness system, composed of multiple electronic devices such as cameras, thermal imaging infrared night vision, laser rangefinders, radar, and sonar, began to operate, transmitting real-time external environmental data to the mech pilot.

North wind, level 3, temperature 21 degrees, visibility clear…

Target acquired…

Just as it left the safe zone, the radar system detected an enemy mech five hundred meters away. The mech chosen by Fatty was slightly slender, with a silver-gray body. Its overall structure was similar to Warrior 7. This was the Limei Federation's third-generation mech—the Eagle V humanoid mech, also a free model among ace pilots.

The Eagle V was 8.1 meters tall, only 0.1 meters shorter than Warrior 7, but its unladen weight was only 26 tons, a full 5 tons lighter than Warrior 7.

The reason for this was not a difference in materials but because the Eagle V sacrificed armor thickness. Except for the front armor of the cockpit, the armor thickness of other parts barely reached 80mm.

Currently, with the mech's skeletal armor unable to be reduced in weight, the only way to reduce the mech's mass was to focus on the armor.

In terms of loadout, the Eagle V could carry multiple combat systems, but the basic version was not much different from Warrior 7 except for the caliber of the recoilless rifle.

The two chose a 500-meter diameter obstacle-free field for a quick battle. Luo Rui had just scanned the opponent's model when the cockpit sounded a frantic alarm.

"Enemy fire control radar lock detected!" Auxiliary Intelligence Number 8 reported in a neutral voice, unhurriedly.

At this moment, the optical observation system had zoomed in on the enemy mech and displayed it on the right screen. The Eagle V was equipped with a set of nineteen-tube rocket launchers on each shoulder.

This posture made Luo Rui couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn it!"

Fatty was going to use any means necessary for Luo Rui's father's reserved land.

No wonder he was in such a hurry to ask if he was ready. It was all a trap.

Before the battle, guessing the opponent's external weapon loadout and then making targeted settings was also a skill.

Luo Rui originally thought that Fatty was so quick to invite him to battle and had chosen a basic model, but he didn't expect this kid to be prepared.

He was careless. He would have to pay attention in the future.

At this time, in the waiting area, although Luo Rui did not display the screen, Fatty had authorized it.

The battle between two intermediate players seemed particularly abrupt in front of a large group of novices, and soon attracted the attention of the waiters.

"Damn, look over there."

"That's dark enough, it's a one-trick pony!"

By carrying a full load of long-range fire systems, a saturation strike was launched the moment the opponent came out, simple and crude, taking them away in one wave.

Cheng Yaojin had three axes, but this trick, because it didn't have much technical content, was called a one-trick pony, and it was the novice's favorite trick.

"No sportsmanship!"

Almost everyone had been tricked by this move, the trickster laughed, and the tricked one suffered. This one obviously just experienced something unpleasant and spoke with some gnashing of teeth.

"Basic external hardware out of the gate, Warrior 7 is in trouble."

"Hey, I originally thought I could see a high-level battle, but I didn't expect intermediate players to play this trick too."

"What's that, the day before yesterday I saw someone playing advanced mode, and also used this trick to trick people."

"Can this trick work in advanced mode?"

"That depends on the person, there are also noobs in advanced mode."

"…"

In the discussion of the onlookers, the Eagle V's rockets had already been launched, and the alarm on Luo Rui's side almost deafened him.

"Number 8, release the interference bombs!" Luo Rui shouted loudly, and the armor plates on the outside of the mech's large arms opened, spraying a large area of ​​bright, high-heat fireworks to the left and right. For a time, the mech's optical observation system temporarily malfunctioned for several times.

The reason why this one-trick pony can be tried and tested repeatedly is naturally because the reaction time is too short. The distance of 500 meters, the rocket arrives in an instant.

Moreover, this thing has no guidance system, and the infrared guidance function of the interference bomb is useless at all. The reason for releasing the interference bomb is to use its short white mist to slightly interfere with Fatty's vision.

In a moment of crisis, Luo Rui's adrenaline soared, and his excited spirit made him even more calm. His fingers were like butterflies in a flower bush, flying up and down, rolling up afterimages.

In response to the outside world, Warrior 7 raised its left arm to block in front of the cockpit, and its right palm touched the back of its waist. An easy-pull can ten times larger than normal automatically popped out of the ammunition chain.

At this time, the first rocket had already arrived, accurately hitting Warrior 7's left forearm. The instantaneous impact was transmitted to the cockpit, and the violent shaking made Luo Rui a little uncomfortable.

Auxiliary Intelligence Number 8 fed back the damage to the left screen. The 100mm titanium alloy armor resisted this wave of attacks, and the damage was not too serious, but the semi-buried 12.7mm machine gun could not be used.

Taking advantage of this impact, Warrior 7 leaned backward, dodging the second rocket, and his right hand threw the large easy-pull can forward a distance of seven or eight meters. The can hadn't landed yet, and thick gray-white smoke emerged from it, quickly filling a large area.

During this period, the third, fourth, and fifth rockets arrived. The third blew off the reactive armor on the outside of Warrior Seven's left leg, and the fourth exploded half a meter in front of his feet, and the soil and gravel splashed and crackled on the armor, but that was all.

The fifth one just hit the joint of the mech's left leg. Fortunately, it only deformed the reactive armor, and the movement was slightly restricted.

Fortunately, the most dangerous first round of attacks had been dodged.

"Damn! So strong!"

"He dodged all of this?"

"Awesome!"

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, stunning a group of onlookers. This level is not something ordinary people can have. With these two moves alone, you can go on stage to play in the Internet cafe league.

The smoke bomb is mixed with special metal powder, which not only interferes with optical observation, but also interferes with electronic signals. Therefore, as one of the opponents, Fatty's perspective is not as clear as in the waiting area, and he has no idea what is going on in the smoke.

Although Luo Rui's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectations, Fatty didn't think that Luo Rui could dodge this wave of attacks, and still fired fiercely at the previous position through the thick fog.

At this time, Luo Rui had controlled Warrior 7 to roll to the side, and threw two more smoke bombs.

As the range of the smoke expanded, Fatty had a bad feeling in his heart, but he had no choice but to fire the rockets and expand the bombing range.

The interference of the smoke bomb is two-way. Luo Rui, who is in it, cannot even tell the direction without the help of relevant instruments. In this way, he is once again in danger.

Time flies, the reason why the one-trick pony is called the one-trick pony is because it has no stamina. The 19-tube rocket launcher has no spare ammunition, and it is gone after all 38 rockets are fired.

In less than half a minute, Fatty had already dumped them all, but the system did not send a prompt to win.
