Chapter 218 The Way of the Lone Soul (Mona)
Several magnetic rail accelerators are being adjusted on the void battleship, but their purpose is not to launch weapons, but to serve as vehicles. Yes, it is just like the greenskins launching their boys. I don’t know how the Earth caste came up with this terrible idea. Highly efficient method.
However, the powerful XV series battle suits of the Tau Empire can theoretically withstand the temperature caused by traveling through the atmosphere. The ultra-high-density crystals that can resist even plasma can be insulated, lightweight, and powerful.
But the core contradiction of this plan is that very few pilots can withstand high-intensity G forces and at the same time activate the propulsion backpack during a normal landing. This requires not only amazing physical fitness, but also terrible experience and judgment. When equipped with more instruments, it can determine the atmospheric conditions of the world and activate the deceleration system at an accurate location.
If it is too late, it will easily be discovered by the enemy. If it is too early, the fuel will not be able to support the landing on the ground, causing the user to fall from a high altitude and die. As for this flashy device, its professional users only have a group of special fire warriors in this battleship group.
Xia Si'Tungsten Dan'no, adjusting the special panel of the All the Tau who saw him would salute him and the team of about a few people behind him.
And silence, death-like silence filled the Tau-style "futuristic" battleship. Like a silent understanding.
What’s interesting is that this unit does not belong to any hunting core. To be precise, they are lonely souls, loners who fulfill the path of Monat. Only the Blade of Unity worn by the team leader is their only link to each other. Other than that, they are lonely souls. There is only blood and genes outside.
They are far away from the army and have not experienced the methodical team training of most Fire Warriors. They have not tasted what it is like to fight with the Wind Caste and watch the fighter planes of the Tau Empire fly across the sky. They were born in the shadows and walked here.
This is a suicidal action, but they don't need the command of the Greater Good. For them, war is almost as normal as breathing.
It is an extremely cruel thing for the human empire, but they can do it and dedicate themselves to the greater good without hesitation.
Earth caste engineers carefully welded the silver-white jetpack to the back of the combat suit, and set it to automatically break away when it lost kinetic energy, and then pressed the test button to ensure nothing went wrong.
Shasi'Tungsten Dan'no raised his arms and followed the loyal engineers of the Tau Empire to modify his body. Entrusting his life to others is a great courage and makes people admire him. With the short and harsh adjustment sound, On his retinal display, the mark display of detachment and activation, a simple triangle related to his life, appeared just like this.
Stepping into the launch chamber, this iron cage made of alloy is about three meters high and almost close to the body in a dark place. Just entering it will test the soldier's willpower, let alone submerging into it and launching towards the enemy's position?
The dozens of rounds of "gunpowder" that stepped into the "cartridges" at this moment were the steel of the Tau Empire's steel, the best of the best, impeccable and irreplaceable. On the heavy launch port, the entire fleet was watching them.
The emission from the void had only a negligible light and even no sound. Several meteors passed silently across the sky and rubbed red in the atmosphere. The low energy and low kinetic energy combined with extremely fast friction consumption made most detection methods think it was An asteroid is not worth mentioning, after all, it is just like that when viewed with the naked eye or observed by a detector.
Xia Si'Tungsten Dan'nuo just looked at the high temperature warning flashing on the retina display and the alloy shells that kept collapsing and dissipating, and calmly estimated the landing time and location.
"It's time..." At this moment, the bright red paint on the xv25 combat suit has turned red. In order to ensure that the high temperature will not damage the display, all the displays in front of him have been turned off. He can only rely on the temperature detector and longitude and latitude display to judge the specific situation. location and situation.
The temperature first increased and then decreased. A few seconds after the peak value passed, Xia Si'Tungsten Danno accurately used his experience to obtain information faster than a computer. It was time to turn on the slowdown device.
"Squirt!"
Dozens of battle suit monitors flashed with light, bright flames danced behind them, and streamlined power backpacks dragged them down with powerful force.
The violent G-force was comparable to the roar of the craziest fighter jets. Even the elites felt suffocated and comatose, but not a single soldier lost consciousness and remained determined and strong.
"In groups, slow down and complete. For the sake of the greater good."
"Bi group completed."
"Late group completed."
Xia Si'Tungsten Dan'nuo looked at the huge building complex that was gradually approaching on the monitor. This dark castle was still thousands of meters away from them. He kept a distance and landed. He abandoned his backpack a few hundred meters away and activated the diopter cutoff device. The mission Consider it a start.
The almost stupefying combat intensity, without any command system, far away from the light of the Greater Good or the calm judgment of the commander, going deep behind enemy lines is a common occurrence for them who are practicing the Way of Mona, and strong winds blow through the skin of their combat uniforms at high altitudes. On the outside, the previously bright red xv25 and streamlined hidden battle suit showed a heart-stopping blackness like obsidian.
The darkness of death.
The high temperature has almost carbonized the dye and the exterior of the machine body. Except for the display covered by the thick mask, which is still a normal silvery white, the rest of the place has a dark metallic texture, which looks blended in front of the Gothic-style platform of this huge war fortress. One body.
The Stealth Suit Team's sleek, smooth suits have built-in refractors, a technology that allows them to conceal themselves.
Additional shielding stands can attenuate the sound of operations and render them invisible to thermal detection sensors, allowing stealth suit teams to penetrate behind enemy lines before launching carefully timed ambushes.
These "stealth combat suits" project complete invisible force fields from various node generators placed on the chest armor. The transparent and deadly technological creation gives them the illusion of almost integrating with the light. And its form completely disappeared.
A hundred meters away, high in the air, the retina display issued a warning, and the jet auxiliary equipment was disconnected. At fifty meters, the soldier adjusted his landing position, aimed his body, and fell onto the tallest tower of Udon Castle, bypassing the complex and terrifying defensive beam. array, and avoided the nearly endless patrols of patrolling guards.
Even if it fell from such a distance, the roar of the private server that obscured the full strength of the position made the landing sound very small. Only a small amount of dust was stirred up, causing many ripples to appear on the top of the "empty" tower.
Xia Si'Tungsten Dan'no could overlook the entire castle from here. He waited quietly for a moment to make sure there was no one, and then carefully activated the pathfinder in sleep mode on the back of the machine. This was equipped with the same hidden equipment as xv25. Humans and machines can ignore most obstacles and provide the best route planning for this team.
Judging from the scanner of the Ambassador-class merchant ship, this huge imperial fortress has a very complex and terrifying underground space, so only this small and reliable partner can guide the true direction of this group of warriors.
The Pathfinder landed on a familiar road and relied on a small anti-gravity engine. After it woke up, it circled twice on the top of the tower like a lively puppy. Although it seemed to be coquettish, the flat drone about half the size of a human quickly scanned the nearby situation. , and obtained general information from the complex group of buildings.
It relied on its powerful maneuverability to fly directly down to the tip of the tower and slide down along the Gothic-style eaves. Even in the eyes of its companions at this moment, the little thing completely disappeared after leaving the range of the internal detector. Without a trace.
The cute little thing in Xia Si'Tungsten Dan'nuo's eyes was completely transformed into a few beating green dots in the retina display at this moment, constantly conveying the intricate and suffocating layout and position of the human empire's building structure.
At the same time, he is also responsible for relying on experience to make up for the unfinished artificial intelligence independence of the Tau Empire, guiding pathfinders with computing power similar to that of a small dog to find the high-value goals they desire, and casting governors and genetic sages. , Melkor the Sinner.
And soon, the poor little thing ran into trouble. When the empire's highly confidential security vault, a defense system built with adamantine and sacred high-level codes, could intercept most of the expected firepower and cracks, what was happening inside Udun Both hardware and software (wetware) aspects have been achieved to the extreme.
Although the small Pathfinder can silently evade most patrolling guards by relying on its hidden engine, it cannot pass through walls. Secondly, even if it slips through, the warriors of the Tau Empire cannot do it.
The veteran in the group asked subconsciously. "Can it be cracked?" The voice carried a not very strong electric sound, but you could still feel the slight distortion. Without the help of signal towers, the communicator equipment that the Tau are proud of is still not as popular as humans. How good is the radio.
And Xia Si'Tungsten·Dan'nuo answered with a wry smile. "No, Pathfinder can't understand this complex code composition at all. The human empire obviously has such a good program, but it can't make an AI?"
He said this to others, and he meant to emphasize once again that the enemy they were dealing with now was not the savage green-skinned orcs, nor the disgusting Eldar pirates, but a galaxy with tens of thousands of years of history. The greatest civilization.
Even though it is now dying and decaying, the development history of the Tau tribe for thousands of years is still too thin.
But Xia Si'Tungsten Dan'no was glad that they had joined forces with the Imperial Guard this time. He activated the hidden deck of his backpack and took out a device that was only the size of a head. To be precise, it was a skull.
Shasi'Tungsten Dan'no gestured to the artifact, which floated on a hovering saucer, allowing him to pick it up with his arms and activate its small anti-gravity engines to keep it floating. Half empty.
This human relic is a severely modified, yellowed ancient human skull. To Xia Si'Tungsten Dan'no, this terrifying creation has a strong jaw, wide eye sockets and that primitive... But the thick forehead with the hallmarks of an efficient hunter gave it a rough, ape-like appearance.
At least the owner of this skull must have been a warrior during his lifetime, but he was not sure whether making such a relic was an honor or a punishment, whether he had betrayed the interests of the empire and therefore killed a chicken to scare other monkeys, or whether he was immortalized as a hero because of his status.
He just spoke. "This device called the Servo Skull can help us crack the code. It only needs the pathfinder drone to transmit the data and use this cable to link the xv25 database to it."
But to the veteran, the human skull is a sinister, primal, twisted monstrosity.
The skull, which is heavily surrounded by clamps and coils, has turned yellow due to age. Compared with the neat and high-tech titanium suspended disk that floats vertically beside it, It looks so outdated.
Its cracked eye sockets were staring up at something, and the entire creation seemed to be taunting the veteran with its crazy, grinning smile, just like the phrase he heard most often on the battlefield, aliens deserve to die.
"This is purely a primitive and superstitious creation," the veteran said uncertainly, "Is it really useful?"
"Given its lack of scientific and technological embellishment, it may seem too absurd to be true," Shasi'Tungsten Dan'no replied.
"But according to psychic technology experts, whenever we approach a special individual called a psyker by humans, it will send out a signal in some form to alert us."
"No wonder they bury electronic circuits in real bones." The veteran said.
"As you said," Shasi'Tungsten Dan'no nodded wisely. As an old soldier leader of the Tau tribe, he has rich experience and even enjoyed subspace travel, and commented.
"Although we have seen those things in the secondary plane, we are still not sure how it can detect and control the various strange situations caused by the psychic technology called psionic energy."
The veteran suppressed an inexplicable tremor in his heart. The exploration of the sub-dimensional world and the Tau Empire were still too vague. He thought of seeing an individual called a demon host on the red pirate flagship. That kind of terrifying thing took over the entire The fleet's guide even replaced the computer...
But soon, he no longer wanted to discuss the issue and just watched the flashing prompts on the device.
After a period of busy work, the door opened, but almost instantly, after the thick layer of adamantine armor was opened, the servo skull that received the signal made a weak, wailing roar.
It seems that they can't let me escape because of things related to the sub-plane, at least at this moment...(End of Chapter)
