The First Evolution

The shape of the unmanned sentinel system is about the size of a football, and it floats in the air as high as five or six hundred meters.

The early warning range of each unmanned sentinel system is very wide, and it can cover an area up to ten kilometers long and three kilometers wide.

However, its limitation is that it has relatively high environmental requirements, and it is suitable for use on plateau slopes with an open field of view, such as large-scale dense vegetation and swampy areas with dense fog, which are almost ineffective.

This also means that although Mertes successfully escaped from the New Watch Fort, he is now firmly trapped in the area of ​​the Ball Fern Swamp, unable to fly! Once you try to escape from the surrounding area, you are bound to be discovered in the first time.

In the next few days, what the Federal Army and the Star Consortium have to do is to fight steadily, and then find out this bastard!

After Hank stepped off the gangway, the unique sound of the hydraulic transmission starting up sounded behind him, and then the tail hatch of the "Hercules" transport plane slowly opened, and it fell heavily on the ground like a trestle.

The wet soil was squeezed and deformed in an instant, and a large amount of sewage poured out from it, with an unpleasant rancid smell.

Immediately afterwards, two "mammoth siege tanks" and four "flying chariots" drove out one after another along the trestle built by the hatch.

Different from the design concept of conventional tanks, the track of the "Mammoth Siege Tank" adopts a composite design, with a total of 4 sets of tracks, which are respectively distributed under the four wheel corners of the tank.

And each set of crawler tracks is designed for the main and auxiliary tracks, and engineers are equipped with two additional sets of auxiliary tracks next to the main track to improve stability.

And outside the track section, a thick alloy plate is installed to resist the threat from anti-tank rockets. The engineer also ingeniously installed a series of maintenance pipes on the site and the bogie. The damaged track is sprayed with a quick-drying glue.

This kind of quick-drying glue can replace the damaged track joints, so that the "mammoth siege tank" can be quickly repaired after the track is damaged, and it can still maintain mobility in a short period of time, still operate normally, and be active on the battlefield.

Not only that, the armor of the "Mammoth Siege Tank" is made of the newly developed homogeneous alloy titanium steel. Without special armor-piercing bullets, there is no way to penetrate this thick-skinned armor.

Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages, which makes the mobility of the mammoth siege tank an absolute shortcoming.

The most proud is the dual-mode fire control system owned by the Mammoth Siege Tank, namely "Tank Mode" and "Siege Mode".

In tank mode,

Using a double-barreled suppressing electromagnetic gun, it fires two warheads, the "vortex armor-piercing projectile" and the brand-new "night owl tracking projectile". This kind of warhead with a clear pointing can greatly reduce the damage to the enemy and the enemy when the two armies are interspersed with each other. The chance of accidental injury of friendly forces, and the implementation of precise single-target penetrating strikes.

Once the siege mode is enabled, the "Mammoth Siege Tank" will extend the 4 sets of tracks outward, and prop up two hydraulic supports that resemble steel claws from the center of the tank, turning it into a 6-legged chariot reinforced form, fully incarnating into a A fixed turret!

Then, the twin 90mm plasma cannons are converted into terrifying 180mm shock cannons, which fire "scavenger heavy grenades" that cause terrifying damage to enemies in a wide range.

Not only that, the Mammoth siege tank relies on its own special "Sky Eye" firepower targeting system, and its effective range has reached an astonishing eight kilometers, which is almost twice the effective range of ordinary tanks (1-4 kilometers). Covering and destroying enemy positions in all directions.

It is precisely because of this that the Mammoth siege tank is very in line with the Federal Army's "rooting" tactics. Any ground enemy will lose the courage to attack when facing the Mammoth siege tank in siege mode.

Because few troops can accept the cruel fact that they have to endure more than half of the casualties without seeing the walls of the enemy base.

After the star consortium suffered a big loss from the giant blood worms that were good at burrowing, they have urgently developed seismographs and oscilloscopes for detecting underground seismic waves.

After connecting it with the fire control system of the mammoth siege tank, it means that the three-dimensional defense system of the entire base has been completely formed. This vehicle has an amazing range, and the shell explosion covers and kills large men with a diameter of more than 20 meters. It will be those hateful natives. A biological nightmare!

However, this time Hank mobilized the ace of the Federation: the Mammoth Siege Tank, and its purpose was to attack.

At this time, it is almost certain that there is a base of the Redspin Star Thief in the Ball Fern Swamp, and it seems to be operating quite well.

Because of the seven fighter planes sent to pursue the gang of Mertes, two were shot down by the people from the Chisuo Star Thief Base.

In order to avoid excessive casualties, of course, it can also be said to be caught as soon as possible, or to kill Mertes, Hank has used all his resources.

Suddenly, there were faint sounds of explosions and exchanges of fire from a distance, as well as black smoke billowing out. Hank frowned and immediately jumped into a "flying fire" next to him. Lane:

"Go and have a look."

The flying fire chariot he adjusted is a light high-speed chariot, and it has also been modified for the environment of this planet. It can be switched to the hovercraft travel mode when it is on the swampy ground. girls small

Its role is usually used to perform reconnaissance of the enemy, rapid reinforcements, amazing high-speed mobility, and low cost.

If you look at it from a distance, the "Flying Fire Chariot" really looks like a "sand quad bike". .

A flamethrower and a machine gun are installed on the roof of the "Flying Fire Chariot", which can spray tar flames on the move, which can be used to clean up the infantry in pieces, and can also be used to suppress the fire with the machine gun.

If Casio is not there, then Hank's words must be the highest order, so the four "Flying Fire" chariots immediately aimed at the place where the accident happened.

Soon, they came to the place where the explosion sounded. It was a purple fungus forest. Each fungus was about five or six meters high, and the fungus cap above it was at least fifty or sixty square meters.

When people who come here for the first time see such a scene, they will definitely feel the confusion of time and space, as if they have come to the legendary fairy tale world.

His body size was reduced by n times, and then he was thrown into this mushroom forest. If an ant larger than a horse climbed out in the next second, it would not be unusual for a fly larger than a cow.

After looking around the battlefield, you can see that the previous battle was short but intense. One of the five-meter-high fungi also had a damaged stem and was directly blown up and turned on the side of the road.

Therefore, the air was sprinkled with a large number of spores scattered from the cap, and the stars were emitting purple light, which was very beautiful.

The source of the black smoke is a military patrol off-road vehicle. It is now rolled over on the side of the road, and the flames are burning. There are blood splashes around, and it is very tragic at first glance.

A wounded man was leaning against the stone next to him, and blood was pouring out from under his body, forming a large pool. .

At this time, several people hurried back from a distance, led by a lieutenant, who saw reinforcements coming from afar, and immediately shouted:

"help!"

Hank nodded to the adjutant, the adjutant walked over to inquire about the situation, and came back after a while:

"The lieutenant was instructed to lead his subordinates to search nearby and mark the terrain. The attacked vehicle was driven by his subordinates."

"After the incident, the lieutenant rushed over as soon as possible, and only after asking the wounded did he know that the enemy had predicted their advance route, and then planted mines on the road, and only killed them after they triggered the mines. It was successful. Two wounded soldiers were captured."

"Fortunately, he arrived in time to catch up with the opponent. Now the lieutenant has used a squad of troops to stick to the enemy. He pulled out of the line of fire because of an arm injury and came back for help."

Hank said immediately after listening:

"Go and help! Just catch a few prisoners so I can ask the truth!"

As soon as he gave an order, the four flying fire chariots immediately switched to air cushion mode, and the eight jet ports on both sides of the fuselage quickly opened, and then ejected a strong airflow, and then drove into the swamp without hindrance, towards the point pointed by the lieutenant. The direction quickly interspersed in the past!

***

Hank didn't know that all of his actions ended up in the compound eyes of a spore moth hovering in the sky.

This spore moth is the most common species in the mushroom forest. Although it is called a moth, it is at least the size of a swallow and feeds on the free mushroom spores in the air.

Of course, there are also many spore moths because they are greedy for foraging, and directly plunge into the folds of the thick fungal cover of the fungus body.

Obviously, this spore moth was disguised by a mechanical spear falcon, and everything it saw in its compound eyes was fed back into the eyes of Fang Lin Yan and others in the distance.

Fang Linyan said to Lieutenant Colonel Damoc:

"This is a great opportunity! I've studied Hank, who has a brave personality, but often puts himself in danger!"

"Let's act separately now. You focus on attacking Hank. It's best if you can kill him. If you can't, you will definitely force the people left behind at the base to come to the rescue with all their strength."

"We can take advantage of this and give their newly built base a slap in the face!"

Lieutenant Colonel Damoc was silent, but his character was always low-key, and if he didn't speak, he would be fine.
