Chapter 1775 Light from the sky
“.”
It was deathly silent, not a sound could be heard, not even breathing.
Because everyone looked at the picture on the screen in stunned silence, everyone's heart was filled with incredible and unbelievable.
Cherno Alpha is the mecha hunter with the strongest defense. Its armor is so thick that even among the most advanced sixth-generation mecha hunters, not to mention the fifth-generation mecha hunters, there is no one. It has higher defense than it.
But just such a mecha hunter who was good at defense was actually slapped by the monster and his outer armor was shattered.
The flying debris is like everyone's heart, broken and messy together.
The strongest armor was shattered by a slap. How strong must the monster be?
In a state of shock, Bugs, the monster that knocked down Cherno Alpha, exerted force on his limbs again. He jumped up from the ground and flew forward to attack the fallen Cherno Alpha. It's overwhelming.
At this moment, in the cockpit of Cherno Alpha, the warning lights kept flashing. On the screens in front, the image of the mecha hunter showed the damaged area marked in red, occupying a large area of the chest and abdomen. In large areas, damage control has begun, with fire extinguishment and sealing being carried out to prevent the spread of flames and energy leakage.
However, the serious damage to the body caused multiple systems located in the waist and abdomen to shut down, causing a significant decline in the performance of the entire body. But misfortunes never come singly. While these systems were being restarted, monsters were already swooping in, forcing Cherno Alpha to hurry up. He raised his thick arms and put them in front of him to resist the monster Bugs that was pressing up.
Boom!
The collision between the two sides sparked bright sparks.
The huge gravity falling from the sky caused the surface armor of Cherno Alpha's arms to dent immediately. Clusters of sparks suddenly burst out from the joints. The artificial muscles were stretched tightly, and the muscles connected to them were stretched tightly. Diesel engines malfunctioned due to instantaneous overload operation.
Russian alarms came one after another, and damage messages almost filled the screen. In just a few seconds, one-third of the diesel engines exploded due to overload, and one-half of the muscles broke, causing the car to explode. Erno Alpha lost most of the movement in his arms.
But there was no need for it, because after the monster Bugs pressed forward, its long pointed mouth opened and bit Cherno Alpha's right arm.
The armor plate, which was one or two meters thick, was instantly pierced by the fangs and then broke.
As the monster's mouth closes, the powerful muscles confront the hardness of steel, ending in the extrusion, deformation and fracture of the metal.
The arm made of steel was bitten off by several rows of teeth in the monster's mouth. It fell in the dazzling sparks and hit Cherno Alpha's chest, making a crisp impact sound. people are frightened.
“The monster bit off Cherno Alpha’s arm?!”
Yukino was dumbfounded. Cherno Alpha has been famous for its sturdiness since its birth. It is called the strongest shield of mankind. How many times has it beaten the monster to death with its fists? In the media again and again Thanks to publicity and official momentum, his image in the eyes of the world is that of an 'absolute tough guy', just like the governor, with muscles all over his body, which gives people a strong sense of security.
But now, right in front of you, the iron fist was bitten off by the monster. It was as easy as chewing a carrot. There was no difficulty at all, which was incredibly shocking.
“Emergency support!”
After Victory Alpha changed his arm from particle cannon mode back to its regular form, he hurriedly rushed towards the monster Bugs, trying to repair the damaged Severe Cherno Alpha is rescued from the monster Bugs.
The two pilots ran, driving the huge mecha forward. During the run, the weapon launchers all over their bodies were opened, and armor-piercing bullets and anti-monster missiles flew one after another. It shoots out and hits the monster's back, exploding into balls of fire and bursts of sparks.
Many fragments hit the body of Cherno Alpha, which was close at hand, and sparked clusters of sparks. However, they were all blocked by the thick armor and could not hurt it at all, especially against the monster Bugs. I couldn't even wipe out any white marks. I suffered a wave of intensive bombings, but I didn't suffer any damage. I completely regarded these anti-monster missiles that had done great things as nothing, and continued to bite them as they were pressed under my body. of Cherno Alpha.
After biting off Cherno Alpha's right arm, the long and pointed mouth lay on Cherno Alpha's body, which had basically no ability to resist. The limbs rushed forward with force, and the mouth reached Cherno Alpha. Noalfa's huge head opened its mouth amidst the roar of artillery fire and bit into Chernoalfa's unique barrel-shaped head.
This scene was observed by the main control room through observation posts set up on the surrounding mountaintops, which shocked everyone who knew about it. Because Cherno Alpha is different from other mecha hunters, its head is not a cockpit, but is used to place the M11 power furnace and S12 rechargeable battery. It is basically a huge explosive barrel. It usually has thick armor, With multiple protections such as lead plates and shielding layers, there is no need to worry, even if it falls from a high altitude, it will be safe.
But for the monster Bugs who can easily bite off the steel arm, these seemingly solid layers of protection may not be much better than paper. I am afraid it will break with just one bite. Time.
The Battle of East and Beijing!
The defense battle that was an unspeakable failure for the Earth Defense Force twenty years ago came to everyone's mind.
Not only did the mecha hunter lose to the monster, the nuclear reactor used as power also had a chain reaction, resulting in a tragic nuclear explosion, which directly led to the death of millions of people and the abandonment of a city.
And if the reactor on Cherno Alpha's head is bitten by a monster, the leakage will be small. If a chain reaction is triggered, the consequences will be disastrous.
Not only did these big shots see and think about it, everyone present immediately realized this, and their expressions suddenly changed.
The people in the main control room were just worried. After all, they were far away. Let alone the reactor leaking, even if it exploded on the spot, it would not affect them at all, but the people at the scene were terrified. , with such a small distance, not to mention a big explosion, even a leak would have an impact on them.
So when they saw the monster Bugs biting Cherno Alpha's head with its long pointed mouth, everyone panicked. Some hurriedly took out their protective masks, while others turned around and ran back. Yes.
But at this moment, a light suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, which looked particularly bright against the surrounding darkness.
"A strong electrical discharge is occurring in the atmosphere."
"It is increasing rapidly and is expected to reach millions of kilowatts."
"."
In fact, without the satellite cloud map report, the naked eye can see a group of bright lights appearing in the sky that was still dark just now. Looking up, it is actually golden, like a golden sun hanging high in the sky, emitting a dazzling light. The brilliance illuminated this dark and windy night.
“What is this?”
Xuenan raised his head and looked at the sudden bright light. Everyone around him was watching, even those who were about to attack Cherno Alpha. The monsters were attracted by this bright light, stopped biting, raised their heads, and looked at the sky.
Then
A silvery-white light shot out from it. From a distance, it looked like an Optimus pillar, penetrating the sky and the earth, accurately hitting the monster Bugs, and then immediately disappear.
Gone in a flash!
In the blink of an eye, the silver light disappeared, and the light above the head also disappeared, briefly as if it had never appeared.
But this columnar area filled with charged ions extending from the sky to the ground confirmed that a strong directional discharge reaction had indeed occurred just now.
The head of the monster Bugs drooped and hit Cherno Alpha's head heavily and became motionless. Although his eyes were still open, the light inside them lost. Victory Alpha ran forward and used the camera installed on the machine body to take a close-up shot of the monster's condition. A huge twenty-meter-long wound appeared on its chest and abdomen, and smoke was emitting from it, like a grilled steak. .
The inside of the huge gap looked like a steak that had been burned with a red-hot iron. It was so charred that all the blood vessels were blocked and not a drop of blood flowed out.
"The monster was struck to death by lightning?"
After a while, someone murmured words that he found incredible.
But apart from this, I can't think of any other possibilities for a while.
"Block the scene!"
After a while, the headquarters issued an order to seal off the surrounding area and prevent people from entering. The headquarters quickly formed a team of experts to investigate and find out the reason for the monster's sudden death.
Alternatively, reconnaissance planes and high-altitude balloons are dispatched to investigate the gathering points of ‘unidentified discharge phenomena’ to find out the cause of the ‘lightning’.
The Earth Defense Force and even the entire earth were shaken by this strange and bizarre lightning. In comparison, the damage to Cherno Alpha seemed inconsequential.
After all, Cherno Alpha has proven with actual actions that its strength is far inferior to this monster, but the lightning dropped by the 'unidentified discharge phenomenon' killed this monster in one fell swoop.
People are puzzled and inevitably have associations and expectations. If this phenomenon can be investigated clearly or even replicated, can it be possible to artificially create 'lightning' and then use it to deal with monsters?
"What the hell is going on?"
Xueno murmured to herself, but she could no longer see anything in the sky. The bright light just disappeared. This made her only look back, and then she was shocked. Suddenly, the 'New Tai' who protected her in the shock wave was gone.
"新"
Yukino just started shouting, and when she turned around, she saw 'New Tai' standing diagonally behind her, looking at the monster in the distance through protective goggles with her eyes, asking Yukino to follow. Looking over, I saw that the monster had stopped moving. At this moment, Victory Alpha was carefully moving the monster, dragging the monster aside from Cherno Alpha and placing it on the ground, and then went to check on Cherno Alpha's condition.
I can only use the word 'miserable' to describe it. One arm is broken, the other arm is useless, there is a huge gap in the waist, and a piece of the head is bitten off. The whole thing is like a fireworks tube. , sparks were popping out. It was obvious that the fire protection system had also failed, and it was impossible to continue the fire extinguishing and sealing work all over the body.
Victory Alpha is helping to 'put out the fire' so that the pilot inside can safely leave the cockpit and escape from the basically half-dead Cherno Alpha.
While the driver of Victory Alpha was doing damage control work, he couldn't help but glance at the huge gap in the monster Bugs next to him that killed it.
It’s so accurate.
The height of the lightning cluster formed by the unknown discharge phenomenon was measured by radar to be approximately one hundred kilometers, and the width of the lightning released was less than twenty meters, but it accurately hit the monster on the ground. This probability is roughly equivalent to throwing a hundred coins at random, but they happen to be stacked together.
The most incredible thing is that the lightning hit the monster's heart. It penetrated the monster's heart with one blow, but did not penetrate the monster and injured Cherno Alpha who was pressed by the monster.
It was almost like a precise surgical operation.
Use tweezers to peel off the egg skin without touching the egg liquid inside.
“Is this really a natural phenomenon?”
The two pilots looked at the rows of data and high-definition enlarged images displayed on the screen, and this thought came to their minds.
But if it is not a natural phenomenon, then what is it?
The investigation team arrived quickly, and the high-altitude balloons rose into the ionosphere one after another to collect data, which was then transmitted to the headquarters via satellite for analysis by supercomputers.
As the sun rose, the preliminary results were compiled into a book and submitted to the desks of the Earth Defense Force's senior officials and heads of state.
According to the test results, the reason why the monster was killed was that it was attacked by a high-energy particle beam, which cut open its shell and flesh, destroyed the monster's heart, and caused the monster to die on the spot without even struggling. There is no room for it.
It’s just that this high-energy particle beam, which looks like lightning, is more than a hundred times more powerful than the energy weapon newly equipped by Victory Alpha.
The observed strong discharge phenomenon is just like the need to create a magnetic field before Victory Alpha releases the particle beam. It is a photoelectric reaction of a strong electromagnetic field.
After the 'lightning' disappears, the 'ion channel' that is left connecting the sky and the earth is the most powerful evidence of the passage of high-energy particles.
The reason is known, but there are more problems.
Who released the high-energy particle beam that killed the monster?
It can’t be a natural phenomenon, right?
If it’s not a natural phenomenon, then who is?
Many people have speculated that it may be the mysterious mecha that appeared twice before.
But the attack methods of the two unidentified mechas are different from this time.
Therefore, some people think that this is the third mysterious mecha, but they cannot provide any evidence. It is all based on speculation and can only be regarded as one of the possibilities.
'New Tai' was also investigated because someone reported that he fired randomly before the monster appeared. Therefore, he was required to undergo a mental evaluation and ability test to determine whether he could handle this extremely stressful job. work.
