Chapter 191 Terra Rift and Great Victory!
The Investigator Starship...
No, it should be called [Varilla] now.
Even without using space jump, the flying speed of [Varilla] is quite fast.
Just when Chen Fan decided on the name of the starship, it had already flown half of the distance silently.
"Beep!"
A crisp buzzer sounded in the cockpit, and a yellow warning message also appeared in the holographic projection on the main console.
"A large number of intelligent machine tides and signs of resistance activities are detected ahead."
The moment the electronic synthesized sound sounded, Chen Fan was refreshed and hurriedly sat up straight.
"Intelligent machine tide?"
He subconsciously sat up and looked out the porthole.
The almost endless forests on the ground have disappeared, replaced by deserts and Gobi deserts that stretch as far as the eye can see.
"This should be the territory of the Western Theater."
Xu Hongming's voice came from behind: "Compared with the Southern Theater, the geographical environment of the Western Theater is relatively harsh, and it is more difficult to resist the tide of intelligent machines."
As the [Varilla] continued to move forward, a huge gully that stretched for countless kilometers appeared on the khaki Gobi Desert.
It was like a scar deep into the surface of the earth, quietly lying across the Gobi Desert, directly dividing this vast Gobi into two areas, one east and one west.
The specific parameters of this gully quickly emerged in the holographic projection on the main console - the map from the Hai'an Deep Space Observatory has detailed information about this gully.
The average width is 50 kilometers.
The length is more than 5,000 kilometers, and the average depth is more than 1,000 meters.
"The Terra Rift Valley." Xu Hongming's voice was a bit solemn, "This rift formed by an earthquake is the natural defense line of the Western Theater."
As Xu Hongming said.
On the east side of the rift valley, a large number of resistance fighters were nervously and orderly transporting heavy weapons one by one, and building a defense line capable of resisting the tide of intelligent machines at the fastest speed.
Boom! !
A huge mushroom cloud suddenly rose on the west side of the Great Rift Valley, attracting Chen Fan's attention.
It was a silver-white metallic ocean!
The desert and Gobi Desert, which should have been earthy yellow, were now covered by a layer of silver-white metallic luster.
Under the sunlight, this layer of silver-white material rose and fell, constantly fluctuating, like a silver ocean constructed by machinery!
The camera in the holographic projection quickly zoomed in, and the true face of this silver ocean was also presented in front of Chen Fan and others.
Intelligent machines!
Endless intelligent machines!
These intelligent machines of various shapes were moving in an orderly manner towards the southeast, and in front of them was the Terra Great Rift Valley that penetrated deep into the surface!
The shock wave of the large-yield nuclear bomb explosion raged in the intelligent machine tide, quickly clearing out an area of intelligent machines, but for the overwhelming intelligent machine tide, a mere nuclear bomb was obviously not enough.
It is definitely not the style of intelligent machines to just take a beating.
The next second, fine and dense flames suddenly rose in the tide of omnics.
After these micro-missiles drew a graceful arc in the air, they rushed straight towards the rebel defense line on the other side of the Terra Rift Valley!
When the micro-missiles arrived above the Terra Rift Valley, the rebels' anti-aircraft artillery also began to intercept them.
A bunch of tracer bullets connected into a straight line, drawing a curve with unique beauty in the air, guiding the direction of the subsequent metal torrent.
Boom! Boom! Boom! !
Continuous explosions and flames rose above the Terra Rift Valley!
There is a clear difference between the fighting style of the southern theater, and the fighting style of the western theater is obviously simpler and cruder.
The standard firepower bombardment made this interception war enter a white-hot stage from the moment it started!
But...
the rebels' foundation is definitely not as good as the omnics.
In just a few minutes, facing the continuous firepower bombardment of the omnics, the rebels' anti-aircraft firepower network has already had some loopholes.
Seeing the flames of the explosion appearing for the first time in the rebels' territory, Xu Hongming finally couldn't sit still.
"Brother Fan..."
"Don't worry."
Chen Fan knew what Xu Hongming meant.
He had already regarded the rebels as the orthodox descendants of the Varela civilization, so he would naturally not let the intelligent machines attack the rebels at will!
Chen Fan gave an order to the starship's main brain without any hesitation.
Swish!
Under the control of the ship's main brain, the flight altitude of the Varela began to drop rapidly.
Five thousand meters, four thousand meters, three thousand meters...
The khaki olive-shaped starship pierced through the thick clouds and landed directly on the battlefield.
The next second.
Before the intelligent machines and the rebels could react, an extremely dazzling, as if physical, beam of light fell from the sky and poured directly on the west side of the Terra Rift Valley.
The light was like water waves, rippling and spreading on the ground.
At this moment, the battlefield stretching for hundreds of kilometers fell into complete silence.
After dozens of seconds.
The beam of light slowly dissipated, and a hemispherical pit filled with silver-white dust appeared on the ground.
Under the gaze of all the rebels, the khaki olive-shaped starship once again plunged into the dense clouds and disappeared in the center of the battlefield.
...
Rebel headquarters.
Compared with the past, the rebel headquarters now seemed extremely busy.
In the huge underground city a hundred meters underground, all the factories entered full-power production.
A large number of weapons and ammunition were produced and then transported to different war zones through trunk tunnels.
The factories were like this, not to mention the rebel command center located in the center of the underground city.
Real-time battle reports came in from the four major war zones.
The map in front of Meng Zhixin was also filled with various marks and arrows.
"Let the northern war zone withdraw!"
Meng Zhixin looked serious and gave an order in a deep voice: "That radio communication exposed our position, and some intelligent machines in the western and eastern war zones are heading towards the headquarters."
Before the voice fell, a young man in military uniform shouted excitedly: "The 11th Army in the western war zone has reported a great victory!"
Meng Zhixin couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously repeated: "Great victory?"
In his impression, since he became the commander, he has never heard the word "great victory".
"Has the 11th Army stopped the attack of the omnics?"
"More than that!" The young man was excited and handed a telegram to Meng Zhixin, "The 11th Army is chasing the remnants of the omnics!"
Hearing this, Meng Zhixin was completely stunned.
Chasing the remnants of the omnics?
When did the Western Theater Command become so powerful?
He reached out and snatched the battle report from the young man's hand and looked at it carefully.
"... Unidentified flying objects? Destroy the omnics in one blow?!"
"Report!!" Another loud shout came, "Victory report from the 13th Army of the Western Theater Command!"
"Victory report from the 16th Army!"
"..."
In just a few minutes, a series of reports sounded in the command hall.
Looking at the almost identical battle reports, Meng Zhixin suddenly had a guess in his mind.
He turned and walked to the huge world map hanging on the wall, stretched out his hand and made a few marks on it.
"11th Army, 13th Army, 16th Army..."
The garrison positions of each army were marked on the map.
Meng Zhixin stretched out his hand to connect these marks.
A straight line!
A straight line pointing directly to the Udar Mountains!
"It's really him..."
Meng Zhixin looked at the map in front of him, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
The young man who was communicating with him on the radio in the Southern Theater just now has already driven the starship and rushed into the Western Theater as if he was in an empty space!
While rushing on the road, the other party can even deal with the tide of intelligent machines along the way!
Based on the time difference of each battle report, Meng Zhixin simply estimated the other party's speed.
The moment he got the result, Meng Zhixin suddenly felt his scalp tingling!
The speed of that starship is even close to the second cosmic speed!
Although he didn't know how the other party reached this amazing flight speed in the atmosphere, he knew one thing-in a few minutes, the other party will arrive at the headquarters of the resistance!
"Quick!"
Meng Zhixin, who came back to his senses, blushed slightly: "Quickly send someone to the surface to guide our allies!"
...
"Arrived at the destination."
The electronic synthesized voice of the ship-borne main brain sounded in the cockpit, awakening Xu Hongming who was in a daze.
"Old Xu, how should we go next?"
Chen Fan, sitting in the main driving seat, looked at the snow-capped mountains outside the porthole and asked Xu Hongming behind him: "Where is the entrance to the underground city of the resistance headquarters?"
Xu Hongming suddenly came to his senses and answered incoherently: "It's, it's at the highest mountain."
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of flares flashing bright red light suddenly rose from the ground full of coniferous forests, emitting dazzling light in the cold air.
"Here we come."
Chen Fan smiled and gave the landing order to the ship's main brain: "It seems that Old Meng already knows our actions in the Western Theater."
Xu Hongming's expression was a little complicated.
How could he not know?
Just now, he thoroughly witnessed the true power of this inconspicuous starship.
Thirty-one consecutive material disintegration cannons almost flattened half of the Western Theater!
There are thirty-one silver-white craters of varying sizes on the Terra Plateau around the Terra Rift Valley!
What? Intelligent machinery?
Under the power of the matter disintegration cannon, almost all the intelligent machines in the entire western theater were turned into fine dust.
In less than ten minutes, the rebels almost recaptured the entire western theater!
In Chen Fan's words, in order to avoid accidental injuries and protect the environment, these 31 matter disintegration cannons only used less than 10% of their output power.
Otherwise...
only one shot is needed, and the map of the Terra Plateau area can be redrawn.
Xu Hongming naturally had no doubts about Chen Fan's words.
As the starship continued to lower in altitude, the scene outside the porthole gradually became clearer.
The dense coniferous forest was covered with a thick layer of frozen snow.
On the ground, several men in thick military coats were holding up bright yellow signal lights to guide the direction of the starship's landing.
Under the horrified gazes of several resistance fighters, the Varela silently hovered on the slightly sloping snow surface.
