Chapter 22 Encountering the Enemy
After Qin Lun and Alex ran to the mecha compartment, they found that the ordnance officers and ground crews on the ship had all been in place, and the apostles and their partner Gise Flying Officers had reached more than half, and everyone's faces were filled with a little excitement and tension before the battle.
The Attack is different from the Faith. As an independent warship, the small Attack is worth every inch of land, and it is impossible for the soldier mecha to have a separate compartment. All fifty soldier mechas stand in two rows, with only a simple metal armor wall in the middle, and the back of the mecha is directly installed on a small ejection guide rail.
Attack not only looks like the submarines of the old century Earth, but also the mecha ejection method is like those nuclear submarines. There are more than fifty upward opening hatches on the shell of the middle section of the warship. When ejected, they will be opened in batches, and the soldiers and mechas will be launched in turn.
Of course, the ejection orbit of independent warships does not have the ability to cross over super-light speed space-time. It only ejects high loads, ejecting soldiers at high speed to an area about one or two hundred light seconds away from the warship, allowing them to fight within the radar command range of the warship.
Qin Lun nodded to the excited young ordnance officer Sherlock, then grabbed the suspension bridge and slid down into the spherical cockpit, and was sent into the soldier's body. After starting the mecha, he immediately connected to the main control room of the battleship.
The independent warship is different from the faith. Once it enters the combat mechanism, the flight officer must be in place and receive relevant enemy conditions information in the mecha. If you need to attack, you will directly accept the captain's order to eject. If you do not need to attack, you will quietly wait for the alert to be lifted in the mecha.
"Quiet...Robin, what's going on?" As soon as he entered the mecha, Qin Lun heard the messy inquiries from the communication channel.
These voices belong to the apostles who had entered the mecha, but the Gith Flying Officer who was responsible for cooperating with them had good discipline and would not speak without orders.
Hearing Qin Lun's voice, the other apostles immediately realized something and immediately became quiet. After all, the apostles were not soldiers, and they were used to fighting in small teams in the past, so it is understandable that they had such a performance.
"The display of the biological radar is not very clear. Now I only know that more than ten dynamic targets have appeared within the detection range, and I cannot tell whether they belong to the enemy." Robin's soft voice sounded in his ears.
"Where is Dongyue's opinion?"
As three apostles who need to stay on the warship most of the time, they have received short training in corresponding positions, and Robin also has captain training. However, at this time, it is necessary to refer to Dongyue's opinion, after all, she is the official adjutant of Captain Marquez.
"Sir Qin Lun, I have two suggestions for reference. One is to correspond to the detected targets, sending two teams to approach the reconnaissance, and the other is to wait and see, waiting for those targets to enter the detection range of the momentum radar." Dong Yue's voice was gone. As an experienced fleet adjutant, this situation could no longer cause her to experience emotional fluctuations.
"When the target enters the detection range of the momentum radar?" Dong Yue said something strange, but Qin Lun immediately understood. It turned out that the attack number was not the attack number, but Robin himself.
As a biologically transformed warship, Assault is different from other Gith warships. It also uses cloned samples of Robin, Sawa and Bobby as the core, and Jannamer biological tissue as the material, and is equipped with some "components" that can exert the replacement ability of the three apostles. Biodetection radar is one of them.
Robin's apostle profession is the spiritual summoner, and most of her apostle skills cannot be used in this world. However, the powerful mental power that the spiritual summoner can communicate with the spirit body was brought in. With the cooperation of a more powerful biological radar, Robin's detection distance is two or three times farther than the radar of the Assault itself.
There is no need to say much about the role of detection distance in combat, which is also the main reason why Qin Lun suggested that Robin and the other two stay on the battleship at that time. Of course, the reliability of this newly emerging biological equipment has not been tested.
The first suggestion given by Dongyue is actually the most normal mechanism for catching enemies, while the second suggestion is that the beautiful adjutant still has some doubts about Robin's ability. As a small independent warship, the material they carry is limited, and each attack will be consumed a lot. Of course, if you can, you won't attack.
After understanding this, Qin Lun's face darkened and frowned and said, "Robin, I'll go out to have a look at the two teams of Frank and order the war room to start the attack mode!"
"Bang bang bang!" About ten hatches above the Attack Pole were opened one after another, and ten soldiers burst into space with the ejection flames, quickly turning into ten small light spots and disappearing into the depths of the universe.
"Villa, Merry, Philes, form a four-machine protection mode with me!" Alex's gentle voice came from the communication channel.
"I understand! I understand..." The calm voices of several other people quickly rang out from the channel.
Although the apostles were all captains of their respective crews, the relevant air tactics were still commanded by the Gise Flying Officer. After all, the apostles were able to master air combat actions in a short period of time, which does not mean that they had the ability to command air combat.
With Qin Lun's seventeenth Fallen Angel as the core, the other four quickly formed a four-corner formation and protected him like a cube. The team of soldiers led by Frank followed them not far away from the right to perform flanking cover.
This is the two-person reconnaissance mode that the apostles thought of after many drills, using Qin Lun's reconnaissance ability to match another powerful shield.
Qin Lun has the ability to detect the horns of the horns of the squid, which is different from Robin's large-range long-range mental power detection relying on biological radar. His squid is slightly closer to the horns of the squid, but has a higher sensitivity and is more suitable for use on mechas.
As for the Shield Apostles, there are two people in their team, originally all of which are MT attributes, one is the second-level Huo Biao, and the other is Frank. Qin Lun brought Frank with him, instead of the stronger Huo Biao. That's because he has the confidence to protect him or not, and it is also to train Frank.
If you really encounter an enemy, the opponent is likely to be the apostle team chased by the other two alliances. They are trying to defeat the inspector team, show their strength, and then poach from the orderly alliance.
Therefore, these people will not be able to kill themselves at the first time. Of course, Qin Lun has to give Frank first such a good training opportunity.
After the two units ejected, they flew for nearly ten minutes and finally saw the object detected by Robin. They were more than ten large bugs like bumblebees. Their wings were shining with crystal light, similar to the flames that pushed soldiers, sprinkling powder-like fluorescence in the starry sky.
"Alex, what is this?" Qin Lun passed the scene of his reconnaissance to several other companions through the silver screen.
"It's Napasa of the Zerg. Captain Robin is right. We will notify Attack immediately!" Alex looked at the big bug on the silver screen, his whole body shuddered, and his face suddenly looked ugly. "Sir, please be careful, these things are difficult to deal with."
"Is this Napasa? It seems to be different from the projection image we see?" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. Since he learned that the Zerg was also nearby during that exercise, Captain Marquez sent some information to the apostles, so that they could distinguish the combat power of various Zergs on the battlefield.
Napasa, like the Black Crab, is a kind of Zerg's scout. However, the Black Crab is huge and more suitable for long-distance cruises, while Napasa is a highly mobile patrol and reconnaissance engineer. It seems that Captain Marquez's information is a bit lagging behind. After so many years, the Zerg has obviously changed a lot.
Discovering the Zerg's reconnaissance engineer at this distance means Captain Marquez's previous judgment is correct. Planet X-352 does have Zerg base.
"Alex, if they see soldiers, they won't have time to inform the Zerg on the planet." Qin Lun asked cautiously.
"It is unlikely that Zerg's biological waves have distance restrictions, and they fly a little far. According to conventional judgment, this distance should not be too late to notify Zerg on the X-352 planet." Alex thought for a moment and then said decisively.
"Sir, do you want to destroy this team of Napasar?" Vera suddenly asked, "These bugs have very high mobility, no less than our semi-biological mechas. Although they lack sustainability, they can hold on until the X-352 planet. And there are a lot of numbers, and we only have two full-biological mechas, so it is impossible for one to be missed."
"Haha, I remember the information mentioned that the Zerg is fierce by nature. As long as they subconsciously think that the enemy is not strong, they will not run away on their own initiative!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "Then let's give them an illusion, making them think that this is just a beautiful encounter with other wandering creatures in the universe!"
"Sir, do you want to attack alone? This is dangerous..." Alex was startled and hurriedly persuaded him.
"The Faith and Marquez have high hopes for our arrival apostles, and provide us with such good soldiers. If even a few Zerg scouts cannot solve it, wouldn't it seem that everyone is too useless?"
Qin Lun said with a faint smile, "That's it. In the simulation training, it seems that you have not seen the unique abilities of us descending apostles. I will make up for this lesson for you now!"
As he said that, the seventeenth Fallen Angel suddenly emerged from the formation and rushed towards the eight Napasars who had not yet observed the soldiers in the distance.
In the assault as wind and thunder, the Jannamer biological armor plate on the shoulders and back of the seventeenth Fallen Angel suddenly expanded, bulging high, shortening his legs, and thickening his body. At the same time, the jaw, which was originally particularly ferocious, protruded slightly forward, and the closed mouth suddenly opened, revealing the sharp fangs of a cat.
In an instant, the human-shaped soldier mecha turned into a huge cat, and the toned physical muscles scurried all over the body like a little mouse.
What is even more surprising is that while the mecha was deformed, a bloodthirsty light lit up in its eyes, a layer of water-shaped shadow flowing all over its body, and its body quickly became transparent. Within just a few seconds, this huge cat animal disappeared from the radar screen of the crowd and merged with the dark universe and starry sky.
Qin Lun's second apostle replacement ability was finally revealed in front of everyone, the beast form of the seventeenth Fallen Angel - Shadow Wind Leopard!
