Chapter 726: Risks are controllable
The dust and smoke from the nuclear explosion were still swirling in the air when two landing capsules began to speed towards the basin below with flames.
The landing capsule was surrounded by darkness and thick smoke, and the external temperature was still hundreds of degrees, but the row of robots inside did not show any hesitation or tension.
Just sit there quietly with all kinds of weapons.
From time to time, there was some shaking due to the vibration of the landing capsule.
Swish~
The landing capsule broke through the black smoke of the nuclear explosion and appeared above the basin.
Although they had left the thickest smoke and dust area, it was still very dark below. The mushroom cloud above blocked most of the sunlight, forcing the landing capsule to turn on its searchlight.
Occasionally, some fireballs would fall from the black mushroom cloud in the sky, and the scene looked like the end of the world.
The tragic scene in the basin below, which was affected by the continuous nuclear explosions, also appeared in the camera.
The fungal mat and those giant functional insects on the surface were all reduced to ashes, without even a trace of residue left.
There were only nuclear explosion craters and lava flashing red in the craters.
The huge crater in the middle that was exploded after being penetrated by the main gun of "Xingxiu I" is right in front of us, showing the majesty of mankind's strongest weapon.
Puff～Puff～
As flames sprayed from the bottom of the landing craft, the two landing craft slowly docked on the ground, and then twelve robots and twenty-four mechanical dogs walked out of each ship.
There are no drones, and the Martian atmosphere does not have the conditions for convenient movement of drones, at least not pneumatic ones, and jet ones cannot stay in the air for a long time.
But even so, each of the forty-eight mechanical dogs began to shake continuously after landing. Some small 'flea' robots fell from the mechanical dogs and began to spread out in all directions with extremely agile and fast movements.
After discovering several holes dug by the Zerg, they quickly rushed in to carry out preliminary detection and set up signal relay base stations.
And these images were transmitted back to Earth via signals and displayed in front of everyone.
"This is the power of a nuclear bomb..."
"New York just ate this thing?"
"The direct killing of the nuclear explosion is limited by the reinforced concrete buildings, and the equivalent is not that large."
"Umbrella's technology is really amazing. Look at the guns equipped on those robots. They are all electromagnetic guns."
"The robot dog also has it. The muzzle is similar to a Gatling machine gun and the same type of foreign legion that swept across Gaul."
"Those small robots that fell from the mechanical dogs are probably for detection purposes."
"Sure enough, when Umbrella sold the civilian version to the outside world, they didn't even know which version they were using themselves..."
"There are also turrets on the landing module, and they are starting to transform and stand up."
"They should also be responsible for signal transmission. They have memorized a lot of things..."
“…”
As various voices emerged one after another, Umbrella also made a heavy-hearted disclosure of information.
"I regret to inform you that our main gun bombardment has failed. Judging from several channels, these bugs have dug very deep underground. Although their surface units have been destroyed and the initial resources of the egg cases should have been destroyed, they have not been completely eradicated."
As they were talking, some pictures appeared in Umbrella's public video, all of which were taken by the "flea" robot after entering the cave.
When we first entered the discovered passages, all the fungal mats were burned, and the surroundings of the passages also felt dry.
But as we went deeper, we could see the covered fungal blanket again!
The dark purple fungal mat looked sticky, damp and disgusting, and it didn't reflect much light when the detection light was shone on it.
This clearly shows that the insects are continuing to go deeper and many of them are still alive.
"That fungal blanket is corrosive and has neural electrical signal transmission inside. It should also serve as a 'detection' network for the Zerg. Once you step on it, you will probably be discovered by them."
The screen showed several flea robots stuck to the fungal blanket by the sticky fungal fluid. Although they were made of corrosion-resistant magic metal, slight corrosion on the surface could be seen. Some hyphae also extended from the fungal blanket and began to wrap around the trapped flea robots.
This disgusting scene makes many people feel nauseous.
I didn’t expect that the fungal mat left by insects could have such a function!
No wonder his tone was so heavy. I'm afraid the mechanical team sent by Umbrella this time can't achieve the effect of eradication at all. At most, they can only investigate and understand.
"There are electrical signals transmitted in the fungal blanket. Since it has the ability to detect and communicate, electric shock should be an effective preventive measure."
After the voice finished speaking, the flea robots trapped in the mucus began to release all the energy they carried.
A strong blue light flickered, and arcs of electricity could be clearly seen passing across the fungal carpet. Roars could be faintly heard coming from inside the cave.
The nearby fungal mat also seemed to have lost its activity, and the movement of mycelium began to stop.
After a few more flea robots stepped on it, there were no further attacks.
"The signal in the cave is not good. We rely on mechanical signal parallel connection, using each flea robot as a base station to complete network coverage, allowing the robots to explore a little deeper. However, from the fungal blankets of these insects, we can see that they are already quite skilled in using electrical signals. They may be able to directly capture radio in the air and detect the weaknesses of these robots, thus launching intercepting attacks. However, the robot's instructions have been issued in advance, and after the signal is cut off, it can also rely on the built-in chip to make certain predictions autonomously..."
Umbrella's official announcement explained some of the problems that might be encountered when the two landing capsules outside completed their transformation and more "flea" robots began to pour into the cave to act as signal base stations.
A total of twenty-four armed robots and forty-eight mechanical dogs outside began to divide into four teams. One team stayed in place to guard the landing capsule, while the other three teams split into three groups and went deeper into the three passages.
"It's not that we want to split up our forces, but the environment in these passages is so crowded that it will limit our ability to perform. In this case, it is better to split up our forces. The expectations for this mission cannot be too high. We should focus on detection and understanding, and destroy as much as possible. Each team also carries a portable thermonuclear bomb, and we will detonate it as deep as possible."
Although Umbrella's words seemed a bit understated, they made everyone feel a sense of pressure.
Seeing that each team had a robot carrying a silver metal box, they also understood what was in the metal box...
Da da~
The sound of mechanical footsteps rang out on the screen, and at this time Umbrella's screen was divided into four split screens.
One is outside near the landing capsule, and the other three are in-depth exploration teams.
I thought this place had just been hit by a nuclear bomb, so even if there were still some remaining insects, they would hide first and would not appear so quickly.
But when the three teams had just entered the passage and explored for less than half an hour.
Several other passages near the landing capsule began to vibrate.
With the appearance of the first soldier insect, which was four or five meters in size and had a huge pincer-like mouthpart, the subsequent soldier insects swarmed out and pounced on the landing capsule!
Many of the insects still had burn marks on their surfaces, most likely the residual damage from the aftermath of the previous nuclear bomb, but they seemed to be completely unaware of pain, fatigue, and fearless of death.
Swarming in with clearing fire!
Da da da~
The electromagnetic Gatling gun sprayed out continuous sparks, and with the embellishment of tracer bullets, it directly formed a dense cross-fire network that covered all the insects that appeared.
The soldier insect that had just jumped out and screamed had not even closed its mouthparts when its hard keratin shell was torn apart by several bullets in an instant. Fragments and flesh and blood flew everywhere, its mouthparts were completely broken, and it collapsed to the ground and rotted into a pool.
Green juice splashed and the insects' roars came one after another!
The sudden conflict and intensity were beyond everyone's expectations.
I didn't expect that the insects that had just been bombarded by a nuclear bomb could suddenly appear in so many places, and they are not afraid of death!
"The three teams that went deep into the area were not attacked. The number of insects should be insufficient, so we want to concentrate our forces to eliminate the defensive teams outside!"
"They may actually be able to capture electromagnetic waves, so they determined that this branch outside is the key node."
"The control signals of the exploration team inside are also transferred through the outside, right? If the outside falls, will the inside also be doomed..."
“…”
Regardless of people's concerns, Wang Yi nodded as he looked at the scene of the shooting.
"It's OK. You can call him cunning, but his intelligence and tactics are still average."
In fact, making such an arrangement is a kind of temptation and temptation.
After knowing that they burrowed underground, Wang Yi knew that it would be impossible to completely wipe them out this time .
Then we should focus on causing the greatest damage to delay their development and test them.
This time, we proactively arranged three teams to advance deeper into the enemy territory, and leaving one team behind was actually a way of testing.
It seems that there are not many guarding teams left, but in fact, because the landing capsule is here, the ammunition left behind is extremely sufficient.
The most troublesome aspects of modern firepower coverage are actually logistics and ammunition.
But the bugs didn't understand this and chose the "cunning" behavior of stealing the house.
This also seems to indicate that they lack experience in modern military confrontation with humans.
On the contrary, Wang Yi discovered through some of their action details and the magic detection equipment on Xingxiu I that in addition to full-band capture of electromagnetic waves, they also conducted magic detection on the magic side.
He should have rich experience in fighting against magical civilizations.
Come to think of it, Wang Yi himself is very active in studying them. If a magician discovers such an excellent tool, he will definitely try every means to capture it. After fighting for a long time, he will gain experience.
but……
Risks are generally controllable...
