#457 - Chapter 457 Equipment Needs Major Upgrade
The guns they used were neither traditional firearms nor laser weapons, but electromagnetic weapons.
The bullets fired were extremely hard, making them difficult to defend against with traditional materials.
However, they still fell short of penetrating the combat suits.
But even if they couldn't penetrate, being hit would still cause internal injuries from the shock.
Fortunately, the base's special forces were all mutants, greatly increasing their resistance. If it were ordinary people, they definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Whoosh~"
"Bang~"
Special forces members jumped from the aircraft one after another.
They were very fast, constantly dodging bullets.
"Bang bang bang~"
"Bang bang bang~"
The six mech warriors at the lab entrance all came over, standing in a row and firing wildly.
Other aircraft in the distance also opened up one after another, with mech warriors emerging in a steady stream.
More than seventy mech warriors came down from over a dozen aircraft. Dai Zheng's side had a total of 52 members. A ratio of slightly over one-to-one wasn't a big problem for them.
"Cheep cheep cheep~"
After finding advantageous positions, the special forces members began to fight back.
They wanted to see if the opponent's mechs could withstand the high temperature of the lasers.
The result of the attempt was that the mechs were unscathed.
The laser shining on the mech was like a flashlight, leaving no trace at all.
It seemed they had to get serious.
"Crack~"
One member could control electricity, and a bolt of lightning struck directly at a mech warrior.
Unfortunately, it still had no effect.
Metal mechs inherently have conductive capabilities. When struck by lightning, the current tends to flow from the surface to the ground. Therefore, this method would not affect the life inside the mech.
"Bang bang bang~"
The enemy's attacks did not stop, and they were approaching the members' hiding positions step by step.
"Ah~"
One member was unfortunately hit by a bullet.
The impact of the bullet was very strong, possibly injuring their muscles.
"Wei Zichen, create wind!" Dai Zheng ordered.
"Yes!"
Wei Zichen's ability was wind, and he could currently create a strong air vortex within a small area.
The wind itself had no destructive power, but the raised dust could block the enemy's vision.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
A tornado blew up in the mech warrior group, raising thick dust.
This move was very effective, and the gunfire soon stopped.
"Teleport team, go!" Dai Zheng issued another order.
Twelve of the special forces members possessed teleportation skills, so Dai Zheng arranged them together as vanguard members for assaults.
"Swish swish swish~"
In an instant, the 12 members had rushed out.
"Clang clang clang~"
"Clang clang clang~"
The sound of metal colliding rose and fell.
Each member of the team was equipped with a sharp dagger, the blade treated with nanotechnology for extreme sharpness.
"Bang bang bang~"
Mech warriors fired from within the sandstorm, indicating that the attack was effective.
"Clang~, Clang~"
There was the sound of metal falling to the ground.
It was clear that the mechs were being dismantled.
No matter how sturdy a mech was, it needed connecting parts like joints to move.
These parts were generally more vulnerable.
Using their fast movement speed to quickly attack these parts, they could sever leg joints, elbow joints, and other places, causing them to lose balance and fall.
"Bang bang bang~"
Some mech warriors fired wildly in the moments before falling, using it to vent their inner rage.
But this kind of attack had absolutely no effect.
Half an hour later, the sandstorm stopped, leaving a scene of devastation.
Fragments were scattered all over the ground, and all the mech warriors had been brought down.
"Bang bang bang~"
"Bang bang bang~"
Even unable to stand, some mech warriors still had the ability to attack, firing wildly with their guns.
"Simulation grenades, go!" Dai Zheng issued the command again.
"Click click click~"
Dozens of grenades were thrown out at the same time, some falling to the ground and some sticking to the mechs.
When encountering obstacles, simulation grenades would automatically pop out sharp metal claws, firmly grasping the target.
"Boom boom boom~"
Explosions rang out, blasting a large portion of the mechs to smithereens.
The battle quickly ended.
Dozens of mechs were all destroyed.
Dongfang Chen also watched the battle, feeling that the equipment needed a major upgrade.
The technological means and combat power displayed by the suddenly appearing civilizations were truly not to be underestimated. The existing equipment was somewhat inadequate.
......
After tinkering for five days, Dongfang Chen, with Xiaolin's cooperation, designed several new types of weapons:
1. First-generation light combat armor.
Since the manufacturing technology for honeycomb fiber steel had not yet been developed, the first-generation light combat armor still used the same material as the simulation spider robots: fiber steel.
Even using 1mm thick fiber steel, the weight of a set of armor already exceeded 50 kilograms. Such weight would make it difficult for ordinary people to move, let alone fight.
Therefore, it was necessary to add an auxiliary operating system.
This auxiliary operating system included a power core and power-assisted mechanical components spread throughout the body.
With this system, people would not perceive the increase in extra weight, making it very convenient.
