Chapter 588: The Crimson Giant Snake on the River
How strong are the Sequence 7 Transcendents and how much they can influence the battle situation? This question is not uncommon on the Internet, and there are different arguments. However, after many people's research and some Sequence 7 Transcendents' personal tests, there is currently a rough standard.
First of all, when it comes to combat power, it should be divided into three situations. The first is the state of not wearing or only carrying portable weapons, the second is the state of being fully armed with various Transcendent creations and props, and the third is driving a high-level mecha that suits one's own style.
If the combat power of a Sequence 7 master in state one is compared to 100, then the combat power of state two is about 300-800, and the combat power of state three is about 1500-5000.
It can be seen that with the advancement of technology, equipment, props, and tailor-made mechas can greatly enhance the strength of individuals, but from another perspective, if you have a high sequence level, you can also withstand stronger equipment, and many high-level mechas have terrifying requirements for drivers.
Ordinary people are as fragile as eggs. When the mecha flies and turns at ten gravity accelerations, ordinary people are almost on the verge of life and death. At this time, there is no need for external attacks. Just such a drastic change in momentum is enough to cause blood loss and congestion in the brain and eyeballs, black vision and coma.
Because the powerful magic engine is running inside the high-level mecha, the cockpit is often the part closest to the engine, so it will be subjected to extremely strong magic erosion, accompanied by various energy radiation, such as high temperature, extreme cold, electric current, magnetism, crystallization and other side effects.
Secondly, the higher the level of the mecha, the stronger the neural consciousness is required. If it is manually input, it is basically impossible to keep up with the needs of high-level combat. Although the driver does not have to face artillery fire and attacks, a high-intensity battle often brings huge mental loss. There have been many cases in history where the driver died of exhaustion in the cockpit.
Finally, as to which is more important, the starship or the mecha in space warfare, the answer is that both are indispensable, but the starship has a higher priority because it can bring greater strategic benefits, while the mecha is more flexible and can play a role as a kind of surprise soldier.
Shark Star Region, East Second District.
As all parties were involved, the scope of the battle became larger and larger. Inspired by Blanche's speech, many civilian masters gradually joined the battlefield. They were temporarily united and rushed into the core area in a way that the official government of the region could not imagine, which caused great panic to the officials and wealthy groups who stayed in it.
"Where are the people from the security company? Are you all shit? I spent so much money to hire them, but now there are attackers in the residential area!" A middle-aged woman wearing various jewelry yelled with a personal terminal, and many uneasy maids and waiters stood in the room.
"Madam, our security trauma team has rushed to the scene of the incident. The injured owner has received good treatment. He and his daughter are alive." A calm and calm response came from the other side of the personal terminal, and then several pictures were projected in the air.
"Please rest assured. As a platinum VIP customer of our 'White Shield Security Company', we will provide the best and safest protection package. Support from the company headquarters is being deployed and is expected to arrive in the Shark Star Region in two days. By then, a master-level figure of Sequence 7 will be in charge to ensure the safety of your residential area."
The news from the other side finally calmed the middle-aged woman down, but she was still worried. She continued to ask various questions and details, and asked the security company to send someone to protect her daughter from returning from East District 1.
"I heard that the situation in East District 1 is even more serious. There are even mechas fighting in the city, knocking down several high-rise buildings. My daughter is still in school there. You have to find a way to send her back."
"I can understand your feelings because my child is also in school there. However, the situation is chaotic now. We need more forces to maintain the stability of the core residential area, but we can guarantee that when the support arrives in two days, we will immediately go to East District 1 and escort your child back." The other party rejected the lady's request with full understanding and respect.
"Two days, oh, I can't imagine how my baby will spend these two days. She must be scared over there alone. What if bad guys catch her during the riots? My baby is so beautiful, she can't stay in an unsafe place. Only her mother is the safest. How can you ignore a mother's request and be so cold-blooded and cruel? My husband and I give you such a large sum of money every year, isn't it for this? If you feel unsafe, then call a few more people. Just make sure my daughter can come back soon."
"Madam, I'm sorry I can't agree to this request for the time being. The current situation is..." After that, he kept emphasizing and repeating. It seemed that the person who answered the phone didn't want to continue discussing with her.
…
"Enough, you useless bunch of 'white vests', I don't want to hear these explanations, I want my daughter back, you promised, you signed the contract to protect our family." (White vests are used to refer to the security company's personnel, because they wear white bulletproof vests all year round, and this dress and title has a certain humiliating and contemptuous element, indicating that their status is very low, some kind of errand runners.) "…
" There was a long silence on the other side of the personal terminal.
"Please understand our difficulties and the current objective situation, madam." Then the other party hung up the phone.
The maids and waiters in the room all lowered their heads at this moment, nervous and afraid, because they knew the character of this lady, and after the other party hung up the phone, they must have taken their anger out on them. To be honest, if it were an ordinary person, they really wouldn't have such a good temper to explain to this lady one by one. It can only be said that the VIP package of the security company is indeed very valuable, and this kind of emotional tolerance is also one of the service contents.
Sure enough, after finding that she couldn't get through the number when she dialed it again, the lady was furious, walking back and forth in the room, and even trembling with her hands, she directly hit several servants in the face.
"Why did he hang up on me? Don't you know the status and position of our family? If I mention this to Mrs. Hook, I guarantee that their company will not be able to operate next year."
"These guys are snobs. Seeing the chaotic situation, they think they are important. They dare to give me a cold shoulder. They used to sell me the products. They said a lot of good things. Now they are making excuses. I spent so much money to buy your lives. Now they are making excuses. They are selling themselves. Now they are talking about life morality?"
In order to make the lady calm down as soon as possible, several maids and waiters present immediately agreed.
"That's right. This kind of rotten company deserves to go bankrupt."
"When the unrest is over, we will definitely not renew the contract."
"Not only will we not renew the contract, but we will also make them unable to operate."
"They don't respect people at all. Even I know that the customer's request is the imperial decree. They actually ignored our lady's words..."
A group of people surrounded the wealthy lady and gave her a speech, which finally made her feel much better. Then they waved their hands and asked the beaten servants to leave so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
Although there are no slaves in the interstellar era, many people are willing to become servants similar to slaves in order to make money. This situation is very common in many powerful families.
On the streets, the fighting is still going on. Perhaps it is because Councilman Hook has a great influence, or the local military stationed on the planet finally has time to spare. About 30 "Meteor Stream-V" tanks are speeding on the road. Their solid and heavy bodies directly knock through the concrete ruins and collapsed buildings that are blocking them, rushing into the core area, and shooting at various resistance armed forces encountered along the way. However, the shooting of various guns and the bombardment of small bombs cannot penetrate the heavy armor of the tanks at all.
These main battle tanks, about 10 meters high, are like giant elephants passing through the city. The shadows and oppression they bring when they pass through the streets make the originally restless urban area fall into panic silence again. Many people hide in the buildings and dare only look secretly through the cracks of the windows.
"We can't let them pass, otherwise the alliance fighting in the core area will not be able to resist at all." On the top of the tall building, a purple-haired woman wearing a jacket and windbreaker overlooked the tanks that kept advancing on the street below, and heard a call in her ear.
"I know, I will delay them for a while, you speed up."
"Thank you, now only you can stop these tanks." A grateful response came from the other side.
"We will speed up and break through the Central Building as soon as possible." Then the communication was hung up.
The night wind whistled, and the neon lights on the top of the tall building flickered. The purple-haired woman took off her glasses, then jumped and jumped into the street below that was lit like a dragon.
Slashing Blade Sequence 7 'Purple Song Howling Wind' Reina, a famous lone ranger in the East Second District, a non-faction master, likes to use hollow steel pipes as weapons. Because of the unique whistling sound when swinging them, she was given the title 'Purple Song Howling Wind'. As for the specific extraordinary job she practiced, few people know it. They only know that it is a Slashing Blade Sequence and is good at magnetism and steel.
"To be honest, I don't like crying children, but since she did the right thing and it suits my heart, I will help her." A few days ago, Reina connected to the network through the immersion cabin and witnessed everything on the scene of Blanche's speech. The
entire East Second District is crossed by a river. The surrounding area of this river is a very valuable viewing area, and it is also a place where many residential, catering, hotels, and water entertainment venues are densely populated. There is only one bridge that can withstand the pressure of tanks and cross the river to the core area.
Now, a purple-haired figure descended from the night sky and stood on the pillar of the bridge. At this moment, due to the ban and unrest, there are not many vehicles on the bridge, and only sporadic points of light pass through.
"Sorry, sorry, but it's not very useful to say this." She tilted her head to look at the bridge below, then raised her hand. Her dark eyes showed vague and strange symbols in the dark night.
The moment she raised her hand, the whole red steel bridge shook slightly, followed by a series of teeth-grinding sounds, as if the screws were broken and the steel was stretched. This is a bridge that is a thousand meters long in a straight line. This shaking and trembling, gathered together, made the vehicles passing on the bridge panic. Many of them changed directions urgently, either returning or leaving the bridge quickly.
It was like a difficult tearing, with a very small amplitude at first, and as the bridge continued to shake and twist, the whole bridge made a clicking sound, and the amplitude became larger and larger.
Gradually, the entire bridge began to tilt and twist in two different directions. At this time, the pillar in the middle of the bridge was also torn off and slowly poured into the water, splashing huge water dozens of meters high.
Many unmanned detection aircraft came from the darkness to investigate the situation on the bridge, and the tanks that were about to cross the bridge gradually slowed down and lined up along the river bank.
"Detection has captured the target, and the broadcast has begun." In the command room, the combatants captured the woman who twisted the bridge and destroyed the road through the camera on the unmanned aircraft.
"It's her, 'Purple Song Xiaofeng' Reina!" Someone soon recognized her name, after all, there are not many master-level figures in the East Second District.
"She actually joined the independence faction, no matter what, open fire!"
"Yes."
After receiving the order, the tanks along the coast lined up in a row, and then the double-track main gun turned and raised, aiming at the tiny point in the air, and began to lock. The entire main gun track was like a red-hot iron, emitting a red light, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
"Fierce--" The dazzling golden-red jet crossed the river and disappeared into the night sky.
A few seconds later, when the camera locked again, it was found that Reina, who was originally suspended in the air, had hidden behind the side of the bridge.
The jet penetrated part of the bridge structure, which also caused one side of the red steel bridge to break free from the bridgehead.
Then, with a more intense and tooth-grinding twisting sound, the entire steel bridge seemed to come alive. Countless crisscrossing steel twisted and turned, and the bridge composed of nearly 100,000 tons of steel slowly rose, like a giant snake covering the sky, slowly raising its head. In front of this red steel snake, the ten-meter-high tank on the shore seemed to have become some kind of toy, insignificant.
"This..."
Countless residents and passers-by along the coast looked at this scene in shock. The scene in front of them was almost beyond cognition. Is this really something that a person can do?
Unable to wait for surprise and thinking, this slowly "living" red steel snake began to attack. The surging and heavy steel head swung down from hundreds of meters high, and the whistling wind it brought to tear the night sky, making people shudder, and then smashed on the main battle tanks on the coast, directly pressing the tanks into the ground, forming a cracked surface.
Then the scarlet giant snake waved its head again and began to sweep across the heavy tanks along the coast. During this time, dazzling red jets passed through the river surface, constantly illuminating the roots of the "scarlet giant snake", and some of them kept chasing the purple-haired woman who was dodging in the night sky.
With repeated shooting, part of the structure of the bridge was burned and pierced, and the "scarlet giant snake" that relied on this part for support finally couldn't bear its own weight and slowly fell down, pressing against the shore, with one side submerged in the water.
A few minutes later, Reina left under the cover of night, and the remaining twenty or so tanks could only stay on the shore and sigh.
