Chapter 209 Mecha
From such a distance, neither Luo Xiaoyou and his friends nor the countless viewers on Earth could clearly see the scene where the protective shield disappeared - after all, the densely packed biochemical beasts blocked the thin layer of silver light, making it almost invisible.
But they could clearly see one fact: originally the monsters' attacks were ineffective, but suddenly, the black spaceship was like tofu, with cracks in several places, and some monsters even stuck their upper bodies in.
——Oh no!
I don't know how many people felt their hearts tighten at the same time, and many people cried out in surprise. They didn't know who the two sides of the battle were, but perhaps because the biochemical beasts were too ugly, or perhaps because they sympathized with the weak, or perhaps because of some kind of emotion that they couldn't explain, most people stood on the side of the black spaceship unconsciously, and saw that it seemed to be facing a desperate situation, as if they were also facing a threat, and they were nervous and uncomfortable.
——What should we do? What should we do? Who will save them?
Countless people clenched their fists and prayed for them in their hearts.
However, the miracle did not happen. Countless monsters drilled in through the torn gap. The situation was set. The attack system on the spaceship had been completely destroyed. Several mechas around were worried that the biochemical beasts would destroy the spaceship too thoroughly, so they all couldn't help but gather around.
The doctor smiled with satisfaction.
A flash of red light passed by.
"What is that?" Luo Xiaoyou asked himself. He rubbed his eyes and then looked up at the sky.
It was not an illusion. Among the ferocious-looking biochemical beasts, there was suddenly a vibrant red light, dazzling and brilliant, shining through the gaps, and then getting bigger and bigger...
"Get down!" Huang Yanxin yelled, and pushed down several people around him. Chad Matthew hit his head on the rock. Although he was not injured because of the helmet, he was still dizzy. He turned his head inexplicably, and then saw a scene that almost made his eyes pop out of their sockets.
In the sky, where the center of the battlefield was originally, all the spaceships and biochemical beasts had disappeared. Instead, a ball of golden light with a hint of brilliant red continued to expand, swallowing up everything around it!
It's like there's another sun in the sky.
Powerful, beautiful, and full of destructiveness.
A few seconds later, the aftermath of the explosion hit. Even though they were at such a long distance and through their space suits, several people felt a burning pain on their backs. Their whole bodies were pressed into the ground and they couldn't get up. Matthew Chad screamed, and even with his eyes closed he could still feel the burning pain. Everything in front of him seemed to be white.
"I can't see! My eyes! My eyes!" Matthew Chad screamed in pain and struggled to stand up.
Huang Yanxin held him down tightly and yelled, "Don't move, it's just temporary blindness! You will be fine!"
In fact, he didn't know whether this nut countryman was temporarily blind, but he could only say this in this situation. After all, Matthew Chad was well-trained, and he gradually calmed down after the initial panic, but he still groaned slightly from time to time under the severe pain.
For the people on Earth, they also saw the moment of the explosion when Matthew Chad looked up. Then the camera on Matthew Chad's head was destroyed, and the lens became dark. Only the heavy breathing of several people and Matthew Chad's painful groan could be heard.
People didn't know what the astronauts were going through, nor did they know whether the danger had passed. They could only judge from their voices that they were just affected and not seriously injured . At this moment, countless people hated the fact that sound could not be transmitted on the moon, otherwise they might be able to hear some of the surrounding movements.
For a long time, people sat in front of the dark screen, listening to the nervous and fearful breathing of several people, and silently clenched their fists.
Then someone timidly posted a comment: [That...wasn't it that the spaceship exploded? ]
Self-destruct!
Huang Yanxin, who was the first to discover the explosion, came to this conclusion earlier than anyone else. When he felt it was about right, he raised his head and looked at the sky again.
The number of biochemical beasts in space has been greatly reduced, and the ones closest to the spacecraft have almost all been vaporized. The remains of the mechas are still there, but they are all quietly suspended in the air, without any response for a long time, because the people who operate the mechas do not have skin and internal organs as hard as metal, and they all died in the cockpit.
There are only two exceptions.
The Doctor and Rodo, the only two people who could command the bio-beasts, made the exact same choice at the same time - to let the bio-beasts use their bodies to form a solid shield. The shells of the bio-beasts were originally as hard as alloy steel. The meat shield formed by them stacking together actually protected the two men and their mechas. Therefore, the bio-beasts protecting the innermost layer also survived by chance.
Huang Yan counted them and his heart sank - there were probably more than thirty monsters. Their skin and flesh might have been separated, or their bones might have been broken, but as long as they were given a little time, they would be able to recover their combat effectiveness.
However, the doctor was unwilling to wait even for this little time. He ordered the less seriously injured biochemical beasts to eat the seriously injured ones and get new energy. The remaining 19 biochemical beasts recovered quickly and seemed to become more ferocious. The reason for being so anxious was that he saw a new threat.
A fifteen-meter-tall silver-gray humanoid mecha stood in front of them, with three pairs of wings on its back spread out like wings.
Anyone can see that this mecha is almost armed to the teeth. With his many years of combat experience, Luo Duo can easily count the most conspicuous weapons equipped on this strange mecha: beam guns, beam swords, plasma cannons, rail guns, rocket launchers, ultra-high pulse cannons... The thrusters on the back wings, legs, and elbows allow it to change direction freely at any time. Moreover, the material on the surface of the mecha is also extraordinary, and ordinary weapons will not even leave a mark on it.
This is not a mecha, it is a mobile military fortress.
The mecha driven by Rodo did not rush to the doctor's side to protect him as usual, he retreated.
While this mecha that appeared out of nowhere attracted everyone's attention, an emergency escape capsule in stealth mode was heading towards the earth.
Seeing that Amirida had quietly left the battlefield, Rong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, moved his head, and heard the crackling sound of . The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Although he has a lot of merit, Rong Yuan has always been very "stingy" in exchanging. It's not because he is reluctant to spend his merit, but when he can do anything within his ability, he doesn't like to make it easy by exchanging it directly through the mall. It's like a person who can eat by himself, but has to spend money to hire someone to feed him. It saves trouble, but there is no fun at all, and it doesn't benefit him at all.
Rong Yuan has never been afraid of facing danger and challenges. He hates trouble, but he hates shortcuts that are "at his fingertips" even more. Therefore, he will not exchange too many goods from the Merit Mall unless necessary; but when the need arises, he will not regard exchange as something to be avoided as he did a long time ago, fearing that he will rely too much on the "Merit Book", but will never hesitate to exchange what he should.
The "Book of Merit" is his, and all the goods in the Merit Mall are his resources. He should make good use of it instead of fearing it, rejecting it or relying on it - Rong Yuan gradually came to this concept.
Moreover, he always felt that merits should have a greater impact, so he would not easily waste them on unnecessary things.
But Rong Yuan was really satisfied with this mecha.
The mechas in the interstellar world can be roughly divided into two categories based on the operation method. The most common and relatively cheap are mechanically operated mechas, which have different appearances depending on their uses. They are operated using the densely distributed joysticks, various buttons, keyboards, foot pedals, sights, thrusters, etc. in the cockpit. In addition, there are computer-assisted correction and fine-tuning, and the various instructions are very complicated. The driver of this mecha must undergo long-term training and memorize all the instructions before he can start operating it. In addition, there are very high-end requirements for his reaction time, physical fitness, coordination ability, instant judgment ability, etc., so no matter which planet, high-level mecha drivers are in short supply.
There is another type of mecha, most of which are in the experimental stage. Because the cost is too high, it cannot be put into actual combat on a large scale. This is a mecha equipped with a mental skeleton system, which can be controlled by brain waves. In order to better match the driver's consciousness, this type of mecha is generally tailor-made, and its appearance must be consistent with that of intelligent life.
This type of mecha is usually a combination of biotechnology and precision electronic machinery. The biggest requirement for the driver is mental compatibility. Other things, such as fighting skills, can be completed through ground training and brain awareness. It does not take a long time to familiarize yourself with various operating keyboards and command combinations. Therefore, stories like [A junior high school student picked up a mecha on the way home from school and quickly became an ace driver to defeat the invading enemy] are not just stories in StarCraft, they are real history.
This type of neuromechanical mecha generally has two modes. One is the daily mode, in which the mecha will obey some simple commands, such as "walk", "squat", "jump", etc., but when the driver wants to scratch his head, move his shoulders or have some random thoughts, the mecha will not respond because the consciousness is not clear enough; the other is the combat mode, in which the simplest thoughts of the driver will be instantly received and executed by the mecha, and the information transmission time is almost zero.
Rong Yuan chose such a mecha. If he were to drive a mechanically operated mecha, it would definitely be more difficult than driving a spaceship. But at this moment, this mecha made him feel as if he was using his own arm. Even if he was surrounded by those biochemical beasts, he still had the confidence to fight.
At this moment, Rong Yuan and the doctor were silent, because they both understood one thing: the other party was more determined than they expected, and any conversation would be meaningless unless they completely defeated him.
After a moment's silence, nineteen biochemical beasts leaped up at the same time and pounced on the humanoid mecha standing in the air!
