Chapter 282 Confused Anthony
In the bad land, military technology troops are restoring the scene.
This is a holographic reconnaissance reconstruction system. A large number of sensors are placed around the site to collect and scan high-precision temperature, humidity, wind speed, and capture all possible chemical components, explosive residues, etc. clue.
The on-site reconnaissance personnel squatted next to a pool of broken armor plates with material analysis scanning devices in their hands.
All the Columbus cargo vans scattered nearby were scanned, including the tire tracks that were crushed out of the ground.
Reconnaissance drones follow these trajectories, guiding soldiers to deploy sensors over a wider area.
After calculation by the central processor, the scene is finally restored.
This battlefield is very wide.
Only a few completely scrapped Columbus cargo vehicles and a scrapped drone armor were left at the scene. The ground was littered with debris and unknown mixed liquids.
The scanning is completed and the holographic projection begins to restore the event.
[Engagement dynamic range data upload]
[The battle is divided into several stages]
[The first stage: the attacker uses some kind of long-range artillery launcher to carry out an attack outside the reconnaissance range, the type of artillery shell Including high-explosive bombs and high-power EMP]
[Entering the database to find ammunition models that may match the data.]
[High possibility of homemade]
[Phase 2: The enemy may try to hack but fail; the engineer restores the electronic equipment, the Centaur mecha begins to deploy, the plasma cannon hits the target, and some enemies evacuate]
[Exception: The deployment of the Centaur mecha may not be possible] In compliance with Night City's relevant legal agreements, this information will only be handled by agents with sufficient security levels. 】
【The third stage.】
A team leader wearing tactical sunglasses put a gun behind his back, leaned over and grabbed some kind of analyzer to conduct further scanning on the ground.
It’s just that the more information we get, the more illusory the holographic projection becomes, with many mosaics - because some of them are too abnormal.
The events in the first two stages are easy to explain. They are nothing more than the enemy launching a sneak attack and then approaching and using wireless equipment to hack.
However, it was obvious that these robbers failed. Engineers successfully restored communications and equipment power, and began to deploy Centaur mechas.
It was easy for the big guy to kill a few carjacking robbers. The situation of the battle was reversed. The plasma cannon equipped with the centaur mecha dispersed the robbers at once, and some of them even escaped on the spot.
So far everything is normal and very reasonable.
Until the third stage, there was a problem with the restoration of the reconnaissance equipment - there was too little data, and there were a lot of mosaics in the restored scene.
Too little data can only mean one thing: the battle was extremely short and left almost no traces.
First on the ground, what she was scanning looked like the armored remains of a Beamon armored vehicle.
The armor of the Beamon armored vehicle will accumulate heat energy when encountering an attack with sufficient kinetic energy, eventually triggering a small explosion.
Theoretically, blasting the reactive armor will cause the ammunition to be deflected by the explosion, thereby reducing the probability of penetration, but this time the reactive armor does not seem to be working properly.
Two possibilities: the armor was penetrated from the inside; the opponent's armor-piercing projectiles are already powerful enough to ignore this damage.
According to the materials science database, the armored vehicle did seem to have suffered an internal attack.
As a result, the central computer immediately constructed a possible situation:
The drone armor may have launched an attack on the armored vehicle internally. When this happens, the computer believes that there are two most likely situations: Situations:
The first is that the drone is hacked; the second is that the drone is trapped in the car and must use violence to break open the armored vehicle.
This is a headache. There are big differences in the holographic reconnaissance system, and more information must be input to eliminate it.
The squad leader thought for a moment and decided to proceed with the second possibility: that the armored vehicle was trapped.
The result of this choice is even more outrageous.
If it is the second situation, it means Beamon overturned. Considering that the car was driven away, the reconnaissance system believes that the car did not suffer fatal damage.
The driver should have been killed.
What about the sniper?
[Results of on-site reconnaissance:]
[The attacker used a Nekomata sniper rifle to kill the driver, the vehicle rolled over, the deployment of the drone armor failed, and the Centaur mecha operator faced the enemy. 】
[Range distance estimate: 1000-1600 meters]
[Shooting environment restored.]
The sniper is sniping 1000 meters away! And from a probability point of view, the most likely place is 1400-1500 meters
They were able to find a possible sniper spot, but it was on the motorcycle tracks!
Multiple evidences show that the sniper really completed the sniper attack on a motorcycle at this distance.
The speed of this motorcycle is at least 140-155 miles, on bad soil!
Judging from the trajectory, it would be an understatement to say it is flying!
You can hit it like this, what the hell? !
If we continue to analyze and restore, we will find that after the car overturned, the Centaur mecha jumped off the external hanger, and then another motorcycle even rushed towards the mecha!
The motorcycle seemed to fly in front of the mecha, and then the mecha seemed to be hit by something.
At first, the team leader thought it was a motorcycle, just like the motorcycle bomb in the city center before, but as a result, there were traces of a motorcycle not far away.
That is to say
The holographic image showed that the mosaic on the motorcycle hit the mecha.
Then in less than 30 seconds of confrontation, this man killed the mecha in an unknown manner.
In other words, in the whole incident, the two subsequent robbers rode motorcycles with more than 150 kilometers on the bad soil and killed the driver from a distance of more than a thousand meters. !
Then another car collided with the Centaur mecha at a speed of more than 100 miles, and somehow dismantled the Centaur mecha!
The other Centaur mecha was in a similar situation. The motorcycle circled around, and then while the Centaur mecha was firing, it also hit the mecha, and then the mecha stopped functioning. Got it!
The most outrageous thing is the damage done to this drone.
Although there was an attack from inside the cargo compartment, the direction in which the overall armor exploded still showed that the enemy used armor-piercing bullets to attack from the outside, and the drone armor was also hit by bullets.
However, only one place on the drone armor was damaged, but this one place was completely penetrated!
Judging from the previous situation, the drone armor was in the cargo compartment of the Beamon armored vehicle and was penetrated by a bullet!
In other words, the enemy is likely to destroy the armor of the Beamon armored vehicle and the drone armor with one shot! What weapon can be so powerful?
The database can match some such powerful things, but they should not appear in Night City.
The information from here is already a bit outrageous. Maybe the facts are so outrageous, but it is also possible that there is something wrong with the previous node speculation.
For example, it was actually the mecha that was hacked, not the car that overturned.
If the mecha is hacked, it means the mecha kills the driver and the vehicle overturns, which seems a lot more reasonable.
However, the combat data returned from the battlefield was intermittent, and it was impossible to determine whether the mecha had been hacked.
Mysteries abound in both cases.
But no matter what, this is the exact information that can be obtained at the scene. How to carry out the follow-up actions depends on the opinions of the superiors.
[On-site exploration completed]
[Information uploading]
Night City Municipal Center.
Anthony was in front of the sink, seemingly looking in the mirror, but in fact he was reviewing the latest accident report.
However, this report cannot be said to be useless at all, it can only be said to be completely useless.
What does it mean that the enemy blew up the car with one shot and destroyed the core computer of the drone?
He simply couldn’t understand what kind of weapon could be so perverted!
The head-up HUD of the prosthetic eye displays a row of small words:
[You have been in the bathroom for more than 1 minute. Too long time will cause other thoughts of meeting partners and affect the efficiency of the meeting. 】
Anthony washed his face, turned and left the bathroom.
Sitting in the conference room is a somewhat obese middle-aged man, wearing a striped suit and a pair of black sunglasses, making it difficult to read any additional information through his eyes. .
He looked at Anthony with a cigar in his mouth: "Mr. Gilchrist, I hope you know that my time is precious.
Can you return to our topic? ? If you have nothing to say, let’s stop here today.”
There was no clue at all, and Anthony felt that his blood pressure was about to explode.
For him, the company's affairs can be put behind - more importantly, if he can't prove that the whole thing is caused by an insider, he will be finished!
So he said: "Mayor Lane, our motorcade has been hijacked, and I can't give you a clear answer."
Lane shrugged, then took a puff of cigarette and looked. No matter what kind of fluctuations there are in my heart.
"Then I can only say my condolences. This is Night City. Are there any other problems?"
Ryan didn't care whether he lived or died.
“I hope to get assistance from Night City. According to the laws of Night City”
“According to the laws of Night City, company employees have immunity here and are not subject to the law. Naturally Night City doesn't have much obligation to you.
You have to solve the problem yourself, Gilchrist.
The military technology equipment is very good, and I am very interested in letting you. Dealing with Watson North Industrial Area
But to be honest, if you can’t even take care of your own things, how can I trust you to hand over the project to you? "
Ryan shook his head, stood up, straightened his clothes, and then threw the cigar into the ashtray.
"I hope you know that the election is coming soon. If because of these Moths are preventing me from cleaning up the homeless in Watson District
Do you know what people will think of me? They'll say, I can't even control the Watson District, that's where I came from.
So you'd better act quickly, otherwise I'll have to find Arasaka. ”
Anthony still refused to give up: "If Night City provides help, I can fully provide the investigation funds."
"This is not a question of money."
Ryan picked up his briefcase, He shook his head and walked towards the door.
Anthony just sat in his seat without saying a word.
Before leaving the house, Ryan suddenly said: "If you really have no clue, I suggest you investigate the Whirlpool Gang. They are veterans in robbing the company's fleet.
This city has its own temper, and you have to learn to solve problems in ways other than money.
Good luck. "
Ryan left the room, leaving Anthony sitting quietly on the chair.
Out of the door, Ryan lit another cigarette.
" Damn it, even military technology cars are being robbed. ”
[Recipient: Internet Monitoring Foundation]
[Lane: Military Technology’s car was robbed in the Bad Land, and the person in charge has no clue. 】
[Contact person: What does it have to do with us? 】
[Ryan: I asked him to find the Whirlpool Gang. 】
[Contact person: You really dare to talk nonsense. 】
[Ryan: Nine times out of ten, it was the Uzumaki Gang who robbed it. 】
After sending the message, Ryan got on the floating car and thought to himself:
No one knows Night City better than me.
There is one more late update, maybe it’s past ten o’clock
Sorry, I’m still quite busy today
