Chapter 45 Moving Stone

"But why didn't the commander follow?" Ruger asked again.

"Oh, it seems that it is afraid that the ones there are not strong enough, so it went to find the 'king' to discuss it." Tia continued.

"King?" Ruger thought about it and suddenly became a little excited:

"No way, this guy will not see the situation is not good, and run to the old nest to find the big boss to report the news?"

"It should be." Tia nodded, "Old Noisy can vaguely feel in my memory that there is probably a core nest at the end of this direction."

"There are fresh seeds there."

"But it doesn't remember the details of the route, so it asked us to chase that guy to this side."

"I see." Ruger nodded, thinking that this makes sense.

Why chase this way, why must chase, why not go slowly at your own pace and other questions have answers.

That's right, think about it, from leaving the battlefield to now, only one tank of fuel has been used, and it's only a few minutes of driving, but there are probably six or seven forks in the road.

This is obviously a complex maze area. If they walk by themselves, they will probably have to walk for half a day just to the forks in the road.

Seeing this, Ruger, who has always been indifferent to the old noisy, had to praise it, "You did the right thing."

"Hmph!" As soon as Tia said this, Ruger heard a proud voice.

Really? You are panting when I said you are fat?

This guy, you really can't give him a good face.

No wonder Tia has developed the habit of slapping it into pieces at will, this foul-mouthed guy deserves to be punished.

Ruger secretly complained about this untameable guy, his hands still firmly controlled the steering wheel, and he continued to chase forward with his body in the car and his head outside the car.

He didn't have time to install the headlights.

In the passage where only the faint light of the mushrooms on the tube wall illuminated, in order to see the road ahead clearly, he could only use the head-mounted night vision device.

Anyway, it was like this, he didn't have to shrink in the car and use the periscope with limited vision to see the road, just stick his head out.

Driving in the cold wind, wearing glasses and on a bumpy road.

If he hadn't been smart and found a piece of black cloth as a mask to cover his mouth, he would have eaten a lot of wind now.

It was still sewer-flavored.

In short, he now lacked a windshield, a motorcycle helmet, or a pilot helmet.

It was a pity that those things were either not suitable for tanks, or too heavy and easy to delay things.

Just as he was thinking about whether to exchange for a pilot helmet, he suddenly found that the stone on the ground not far away in his field of vision seemed to move slightly.

"Something's wrong!"

Although he was not sure whether it was his eyes, he thought it was better to be careful in the enemy camp, and quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid the stone.

However, just as he turned away from the stone, the stone the size of a washbasin actually drilled out of the soil and rushed towards the tank.

"Damn, it's a ghost, be careful!"

He just shouted the alarm, and then there was a bang, and the stone that could move by itself had drilled under the car and exploded.

Swish~

Although the chassis of the tank was strong enough and the overall structure was not damaged too much, the track on one side was directly blown off.

The two road wheels near the center of the explosion were almost blown off.

"Brother Lu, what happened?" Tia said anxiously, "What should I do? Old Noisy said that the thing in front suddenly accelerated!"

"Maybe it discovered us, after all, there was such a loud explosion." Ruger said hatefully.

"Damn, there are landmine ghosts, playing suicide attacks for me! Damn it!"

Although suicide is not considered a kill, he did not see the name of the moving stone bomb in the kill record, but he had seen the appearance of the thing clearly.

That is a big turtle with a landmine shell.

Well, but the head and limbs of the turtle are more like some kind of mammal that likes to dig holes than an amphibian turtle.

For example, moles.

"What should we do, Lu Ge?" Hearing about the suicide mine, Tia also immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Can you see the road ahead clearly? How far can you see?" Ruger asked instead of answering.

"A few hundred meters is no problem."

Good guy!

Little Tia's answer made Ruger once again envious of the abnormal physical fitness of the Nephalem.

Fortunately, he was desensitized now because of the envy, and quickly calmed down and replied:

"Well, you are responsible for the road from 20 meters to 100 meters away, and use grenades to blast him!"

There are self-destructing mines, right? Wasn't it discovered by the commander of the ghost in front? Then blast a road.

"Understood!"

Little Tia quickly understood his thinking, picked up the grenade launcher and fired a string of dual-purpose bullets.

Ruger has not been idle during this period.

Other functions of his telekinesis ability have not been discovered yet, but his ability to remotely control the logistics space is becoming more and more proficient.

In just a short while, the damaged road wheels and tracks on the side of the vehicle have been replaced with new parts.

That's not all. The blade armor that played a great role in killing ants is still hanging on the body of the vehicle and has not been removed.

Now is the right time to change their angle from slanting upward to parallel and slightly downward, and then lower them to the ground.

This directly changes the impact weapon-blade armor into a real tank special tool-mine plow.

In fact, it is to let this part of the external armor detonate the mines buried in the soil in front first, reducing the damage of these explosives to the main body of the vehicle.

Whether it was the bomb turtle or the mine mole just now, the mine had a high charge.

However, judging from the damage results, it does not seem to be a special anti-armor mine that uses the Monroe effect or the shaped charge effect.

It simply relies on the explosion of a large charge to hurt the enemy.

The advantage is that this thing can damage both infantry and light armor.

The disadvantage is that it can do both but is not good at either.

There are not enough fragments against infantry, and the anti-armor penetration is not deep enough.

However, considering that its carrier is a ghost with a free-moving head, and the speed is not slow, the so-called disadvantages can actually be ignored.

Well, if you don't encounter Ruger, the disadvantages can be ignored.

And these bladed mine plows that Ruger has just modified are the most restrained against this kind of explosives that rely solely on large charges.

As we all know, there is a famous formula for calculating the equivalent of nuclear weapons and their effective killing distance:

Effective killing distance = C×explosion equivalent^(1/3).

Where C is a constant.

Simply put, if the explosive equivalent increases by N times, its effective killing distance can only increase to the cube root of N times.

That is to say, if the explosive equivalent increases by 10 times, the effective killing distance will only increase to the cube root of 10, about 15 times.

In fact, this formula is a variant of the formula for calculating the explosion shock wave overpressure and its distance from the explosion center in explosion mechanics.

If the distance is a certain number, then the mass of the explosive increases by N times, and the explosion shock wave overpressure at this distance is the cube root of N times.

Because for explosives without special warheads, including nuclear weapons, the farthest killing effect also depends on shock wave overpressure.

The so-called shock wave overpressure refers to the difference between the super-high pressure generated by the high-temperature and high-pressure material generated by the explosion squeezing the surrounding air and the atmospheric pressure.

According to the physique of ordinary people, a shock wave overpressure lethal value can be confirmed.

This value is fixed, and the above formula can calculate the relationship between the mass of the explosive and the effective killing distance.

This formula also reveals another truth, that is, if you simply increase the amount of explosives to increase the power of the bomb, it is not only a matter of getting half the result with twice the effort, but also a relationship between the cube and the cube root.

It can also be said that the farther the attacker is from the center of the explosion, the damage he suffers will decrease in a cubic manner.

This is why the effect of those mine bombs will be greatly reduced even if there is only one additional mine plow that is not very long.
