...
After four days of Terra, the research and manufacturing that has been going on day and night has finally come to fruition.
As the soldiers carried their heavy weapons to various parts of the fortress, Qin Mo ordered Gray and the five of them to put on power armor and immediately go to the position due east with him to check the situation.
"Wait a minute, don't you need to test these power armors?"
"No testing required."
Qin Mo walked at the front of the six-man team, advancing through the winding and twisting passages in the fortress.
Crane followed Qin Mo nervously and worriedly, followed by the elite soldiers he had just selected.
"I don't think we should be in such a hurry, at least we should test whether there is a problem with the power armor first."
"Test it with combat."
"Alright, alright, test it with combat."
Seeing that Qin Mo was confident and stubborn, Klein had no choice but to compromise and not mention the matter of testing the power armor for the time being.
But there's something more important.
"Gray, they are just ordinary soldiers, the 44th Regiment has always been a logistics supply regiment and has not participated in many battles, are you sure you want to take them alone?" Crane glanced at Gray as he spoke, then looked at the soldiers behind him, motioning for them to walk ahead.
Qin Mo understood Klein's thoughts, but he would not bring the elite soldiers of the 47th Regiment, so he decisively vetoed: "Gray, they are not necessarily the strongest soldiers, but they must be the most determined, and they have fought side by side with me, and they are more familiar with my fighting style."
"Okay then." Klein felt that this reason was also convincing, so he could only compromise again, stop and watch Qin Mo and them leave.
It wasn't until Qin Mo opened a door on the wall at the end of the passage and was about to walk out that Klein suddenly shouted: "Don't fight the rebels, we have few people after all!"
Qin Mo walked out of the fortress without saying a word, and the door he opened on the wall was immediately closed.
But just as Crane sighed helplessly and turned around, another door was opened on the wall.
Qin Mo returned to the inside of the fortress and reminded Crane: "I have a psionic suppressor in my room, which is that boxy metal box, if you encounter an attack and find a psionic person, don't forget to turn on the psionic suppressor, but that thing needs to be charged, and it can only be effective for two days at a time."
"I can't forget it." Klein looked back at Qin Mo, "I'll form a team of five people to be responsible for guarding and using the suppressor. "
"Then I'll be relieved." Qin Mo turned around and left.
The door to the wall closed again, and the wall returned to its sturdily closed state.
...
The power armor can sustain a short flight, covering a distance of 70 kilometers in just two hours, and the energy is exhausted on the way to recharge the battery once.
Since he was not sure whether the position in the east direction still existed, when he was close to within two kilometers, Qin Mo ordered to advance on foot and released a drone to reconnoiter the situation on the position.
"Does the position still exist?" Qin Mo glanced at the drone that was flying quickly into the air, and turned his head to look at Gray who released it.
Gray didn't respond immediately, he stared at the empty front with his neck stilted, looking a little dumbfounded.
Gray is looking at the HUD integrated into the visor, his eyes fixed on the lower right corner, where a drone perspective is projected.
The position was filled with smoke, and there was no one to be seen.
"Life Scan." Qin Mo reminded Gray, "This is a unique function of reconnaissance drones. "
Gray immediately said, "Life Scan."
After activating the life scanning function, the drone directly marks the detected life on the HUD with green punctuation, and displays the data in the lower left corner.
Humans: 5,723.
Variants: 9,938.
Analysis: Based on the current rate of reduction in pure humans in the scanned area, it is estimated that the defenders of the position will be killed in one hour and twenty-one minutes. (For reference only)
"The position has not been breached, but it is coming." Gray raised his hand and swiped a few times in the air, then wondered and asked, "I remember you said that this power armor system has the ability to share information, how do you operate it?"
"Reach out and click on the combat mode in the lower left corner as if the HUD screen is in front of you, and it will force information sharing to be turned on." Qin Mo reluctantly taught.
He originally thought it was very good, to integrate an electronic system for the power armor, which can analyze the battle situation, supervise the state of the power armor, and share information.
As a result, this thing is really a bit esoteric for ordinary big-headed soldiers, and since changing the action mode and combat mode of the power armor is a matter that needs to be carefully considered, it cannot be replaced with voice commands, which is very cumbersome in Gray's opinion.
"That's it." After Gray's awkward click on the combat mode, all the information he saw was shared with the other power armor, and others wearing power armor also saw the results of the life scan.
Everyone had a clear view of where the allies were, as well as the positions of all the rebels on the position.
...
The difference in numbers between the two warring sides on the battlefield was not very large, but the rebels still had an overwhelming advantage over the planetary defense forces.
This is thanks to the aberration on the side of the rebels.
Aberrations are very strong individuals among genestealers who will use industrial tools to fight, and use force to compensate for their major intellectual deficiencies.
During the Aberration's attack, the position was filled with smoke from the rebels, and the Planetary Defense Force was forced into hand-to-hand combat.
Until the six-man group from the 44th Regiment appeared.
Before the power armor hit the ground, the powerful momentum of the jetpack had already blown the smoke away from the position.
The two sides in the scuffle looked at the six unidentified people in the center of the battlefield, and when they saw the double-headed eagle on the scepter, the rebels realized that they were not their own.
The rebels did not rush to attack, but vigilantly looked at the six people wearing power armor, and the position that was originally full of shouts of killing had quieted down.
"Dead ..." One of the largest deformed bodies held the head that he didn't know who to drag from in his hand, and looked at Qin Mo fiercely.
Qin Mo turned his head to look at Gray, who nodded in understanding.
"For the Emperor." Gray rushed out from Qin Mo's side first, heading straight for the distortion in front of him.
The heavy Power Armor Jet Pack automatically adjusts the angle of the spout when running to provide thrust to the Power Armor, which makes the Power Armor heavy but not slow.
"Ahh The aberrant threw away the skull in his hand and hedged Gray with a sledgehammer.
The two tall and muscular individuals both rushed towards each other, and in the minds of the onlookers, they already had an idea of what might happen next.
Either metal and mechanics are superior, and the distortion is knocked into the air.
Either the flesh that evolved to power is superior, and the power armor and the people inside are smashed to pieces.
Even at this moment, Qin Mo himself thought so.
That is until Gray rushes to a position five steps away from the distortion and suddenly turns on the gravity shield.
At the same time that the stones and shards around his body were flattened in an instant, the unclear deformed body had already leapt forward with a sledgehammer and fell towards Gray.
Smack------
The distortion that jumped into the area of action of the gravity shield was struck to death by an invisible force, leaving a puddle of smoothed "mud" on the ground, like a mosquito that has been slapped to death.
Gray's forward speed quickly increased to the limit after a brief slowdown, and the jetpack's spout spewed flames backwards, propelling the entire powertrain to run at high speed.
