Chapter 314 Board Jump
Chapter 314 Board Jump
After bursting out of the cargo hold, the mechs instantly scanned the silicon-based creatures that had appeared in the hangar. However, instead of attacking these creatures directly, the mechs fired several smoke grenades to completely obscure the figures of all 22 of their own mechs.
The mechs then attached boxes of explosives to winches and used electromagnetic grabs to secure steel cables to the hangar ceiling.
Immediately afterwards, another round of smoke grenades was launched, completely obscuring the silicon-based lifeforms' vision.
As the winch retracted the steel cable, lifting the explosives into the air, the mechs burst out of the smoke and began unleashing firepower at the large silicon-based creature in the distance.
Meanwhile, a team at the rear left the cargo hold along a path that was not yet closed, heading towards the stern of the enemy flagship to search for the special operations team and prepare to assist their evacuation.
Inside the hangar, facing the heavy and aggressive firepower of the mech squad, more than half of the 40 silicon-based creatures of different sizes operating in the hangar were quickly lost. Helpless, the enemy had to call for support and dispatch half of the marines who were on standby on the ship to the hangar.
As the enemy marines made their way to the hangar, their trail was spotted by a squad of robots operating near the core area.
By tracing the route they had taken, the robot team quickly determined the general route into the core area.
The entire robot squad followed the route the Marines had taken without hesitation.
As the robot team ventured deeper, its detection equipment detected an increasing number of high-energy fluctuation signals, which enabled the team to successfully evade two incorrect routes.
Faced with an increasing number of high-energy signals, the team slowed down and became more cautious.
As they were about to cross a corner, the reconnaissance robots they had deployed in advance detected a Marine Corps squad patrolling the perimeter of the core area.
Faced with these 24 medium-sized silicon-based creatures, each around 3 meters tall and equipped with heavy firepower, the squad of 36 robots dared not confront them head-on. They could only retreat to the passage they had come from, looking for a suitable opportunity to bypass the squad and enter the depths of the core area.
Therefore, the entire team went into a state of silence, activating optical stealth while shutting down all non-optical observation equipment.
Under the watchful eyes of numerous robots, the Marines strode heavily across the intersection.
However, because the robots had previously used radio communication, the Marines left behind four small to medium-sized silicon-based bio-individuals to inspect the area as they passed through.
Seeing the four silicon-based creatures carefully examining the object, all the robots prepared for a surprise attack.
However, the 16 pilot robots in the squad sensed something was wrong.
These 16 pilot robots are enhanced models specially made by Lorraine and others for this boarding operation, and their elite status is equivalent to that of a sharp reconnaissance company in a regular army.
As elite troops, they quickly discovered the anomalies in the enemy's actions using their onboard detection and analysis equipment.
Unsure whether these Marines possessed the ability to detect invisible lasers, the pilots did not rashly use pulsed lasers to contact their teammates. Instead, they could only partially deactivate their optical stealth capabilities in the enemy's blind spots and use sign language to communicate the information they had gathered to their teammates.
Upon receiving the message, the entire squad returned to silence, quietly waiting for the enemy unit to leave.
After some examination.
These four silicon-based creatures that broke away from the group did not leave; instead, they stayed at the intersection.
Fifteen minutes later, the Marines arrived at the hangar where the mech squadron was located.
At this moment, the mechs fired smoke grenades one after another, forming well-arranged smoke walls, and quickly retreated.
The opposing Marines pursued relentlessly, chasing them all the way to beneath the explosive device.
"drop!"
An alarm sounded, indicating that the enemy had entered the trap. The two mechs, each armed with an electromagnetic shotgun, stopped, turned around quickly, and fired high-explosive shotgun shells into the air, rapidly detonating the explosives fixed to the ceiling.
More than 20 boxes of explosives detonated simultaneously, blasting through the hangar's roof and revealing a magnificent starry sky to everyone.
[Electromagnetic adsorption has reached maximum power, the gripper is secured, and the thruster has been activated.]
Immediately afterwards, the mechs quickly threw out the cargo boxes, using the rapidly flowing air to speed up their flight.
The enemy marines were caught off guard and were instantly pulled into space by the terrifying suction, becoming one piece of space debris after another.
Faced with the sudden depressurization of the compartments, the ship's pressure detection device alarmed, and the hangar doors, which were linked to it, slammed shut, isolating several adjacent compartments.
Nevertheless, it would still take some time for the air pressure to equalize. The mechs quickly stabilized themselves using the pre-prepared stabilization measures and used this time to launch an attack on the Marines.
Two minutes later, the remaining enemy marines were all wiped out, while our mechs only suffered minor scratches on a few armor plates.
After a long and fierce battle, the mechs had almost run out of ammunition, and the remaining energy was only enough to keep their high-frequency sabers running.
The 22 mechs secured 22 boxes of explosives, which they had previously retrieved from the cargo hold, to their back racks and installed detonation devices. Then, the mechs left the enemy ship's interior one by one through a hole in the top of the hangar.
Almost simultaneously, the pilot squad finally discovered the enemy's weakness.
Without prior communication, the four drivers at the forefront of the assault team threw their stun grenades at the same time, and then quickly drew their knives and stepped forward.
Immediately afterwards, the other members of the assault team and the fire support team followed up, assisting friendly forces in eliminating enemy units before quickly advancing.
The support team held their ground, setting up heavy weapons at the intersection, ready to support friendly forces at any time.
At this moment, upon receiving news of the friendly forces losing contact, the Marines patrolling outside quickly retreated inward, while the guards stationed inside rapidly assembled near the breach to strengthen defenses, prepare to intercept incoming targets, and await friendly support.
However, thanks to their ample power and firepower, the two robot teams successfully broke through the defenses before the guards could provide support and entered the core area smoothly.
However, the anti-assault structure inside the core area became a problem for the squad.
The excessively thick walls and doors rendered the heavy molten metal bombs carried by the squad completely ineffective, forcing the two groups to advance along the enemy's pre-set route.
Faced with this predicament, the assault team and the fire support team abandoned their plan to force a breakthrough and instead left the core area to search for suitable energy nodes for blasting on the periphery in order to weaken the enemy's main ship's combat capabilities.
After receiving the relocation notice, the support team placed several smart mines they were carrying at the intersection and fixed them to the ceiling or other locations that were not easily spotted by the enemy.
