Chapter 2886 Jedi Submarine (Part 1)
“Captain, why do you need to wear a cloak? It feels weird.”
Stepping out of the cabin, Licas stepped on On the dusty land, it's hard to imagine that this place was once a tree-lined forest, but now, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing but desolation and the remains of buildings half buried in the gravel.
In front of him is Jacob, the team leader of the operation. On Jacob's left is another non-commissioned officer from the 10th company, Neil, and on his right is a recruit from the same batch as Ricas. Kusakla.
The mysterious black transport plane that put them down had slowly taken off, and at higher altitudes, groups of gargoyles could be seen shuttled through the spore clouds, but they seemed to be facing the black The big guys turned a blind eye until this thing became completely transparent from the visual level. This technology made Ricas couldn't help but marvel.
This transport aircraft is a derivative of the Dark Night stealth reconnaissance craft. It is named the Night Watcher. It has been the top secret level equipment of the Chapter since its birth. Its appearance is very different from the existing aircraft of the Empire, and it has more capabilities. The streamlined appearance even looks a bit like an Eldar aircraft at first glance, but its human technological features are also very obvious. It uses a low-mounted diagonal wing, the fuselage has sharp edges, the double fins are tilted inward, and it is tailless. It has an edged delta wing, a fused wing body with a double vertical tail layout, and the engine is installed at half the wingspan.
The biggest feature of this aircraft is its stealth. Its own firepower is not strong. There are two hidden missile launchers and a hidden cannon on the nose. Overall the firepower is mediocre, but the materials used to make it are The stealth materials from the dark night stealth reconnaissance craft carry a large number of interference devices inside, which can not only interfere with electronic equipment, but also biological senses.
Another feature of it is that it is fast. Its engine is also from stc, which allows this aircraft to fly at a speed close to Mach 9 in the atmosphere. As for how it keeps quiet at such a high speed, this is The highest level of technical secrets (actually the shell uses part of the solidified spiritual bone material).
The main function of the Night Watch is to carry 10 space warriors and send them quietly to any place on the battlefield. Simply put, it is a super-fast transport aircraft that can be invisible. As for why it is not made into a fighter jet ——Because it is too expensive.
And the Night Watchman is not only very troublesome to manufacture, but also very demanding on the pilot. Like the Knight Mecha, it must be bound to the cockpit for a long time.
When boarding the plane, Ricas asked Jacob how many such Night Watchmen the Chapter had, and the other party replied that there were no more than three.
Because Jacob has only seen 3 of them.
"And this pattern, it always feels..."
Cusak pulled the cloak behind his back and continued to chatter. This guy is also famous among the recruits for talking a lot, but he is also very powerful. Very strong, so they formed a very bad combination - a chatty one who was very good at fighting, but many people couldn't stand his nagging and couldn't beat him.
Actually, Licas felt a little strange when he heard what he said. He picked up this emerald green cloak and looked at it. Its material was very unique. It felt like water, and you could even see ripples. There were no ripples on it. What kind of mark is it? There are just some patterns on the edges, mainly vines and branches. At first, I thought it was nothing but really strange when you think about it carefully. It is a bit incompatible with the style of the Astartes Chapter.
The key is that this delicate weaving technique always has a feminine feel.
"Shut up, I asked you to perform the mission. This is a requirement, unless you want to be overwhelmed by swarms of Tyranid bugs."
Jacob said patiently After Kusakla stopped drinking, the other party did keep his mouth shut. After all, there were very few recruits who had not been beaten by Jacob, although most of them were in training. Neil on the side also interjected:
“This stealth cloak is a good thing. In the past, when the recruits still had to serve as scouts, this thing played a great role. Many seniors also used it. I survived by it.”
The four then walked to the remains of a half-collapsed windmill and formed a circle. Jacob turned on the miniature tactical instrument mounted on his arm.
“Our mission this time is to find Tyranid’s biochemical fortress and lair. According to the inference of the command, it is probably in this direction. If it is not destroyed as soon as possible, the defensive pressure on Stronghold No. 7 will increase. Big, as you all saw yesterday, the Tyranids were almost touching the protective wall. Based on the results of aerial detection and the flow direction of the Tyranids, the headquarters calculated that the Tyranids should have established a further and more concealed hatchery. Our stronghold is the closest and is the first to bear the brunt, so the mission is also carried out by us. We will not fight if we can, find the target, report the coordinates, and then evacuate."
After that, Jacob said. Looking outside the shadow, I saw yellow mist filling the surroundings. There were various fleshy sacs in the low altitude that were constantly expanding and contracting like balloons, floating slowly. And higher up, there were even larger ones, covered with spikes and spouts. Spore clusters that act faster.
“Everyone must be gentle when moving. Tyran has deployed a large number of defense facilities in this area, including this spore mine, which is a living mine that detects surrounding areas through the sensitive tentacles covered on its body. Heat and vibration, once they are alerted, there will be a big explosion. This is why aerial reconnaissance equipment and night watchers cannot penetrate deep. We must also be careful. I chose you two recruits because of your agility and flexibility. This is also a practical training."
Likas and Kusakla nodded at the same time. They were indeed lucky. After all, this mission only requires four people, and the stronghold defense pressure is very high, so they cannot deploy too many. There are many people, and their ability is proved by being called out.
"Understood!"
"Okay, everyone will check the equipment now."
Although such an inspection has been done once on the transport plane, according to the battlefield regulations in the holy book, on the During infiltration operations, a second weapons inspection is required after landing.
Jacob, who was leading a team for the first time, chose to abide by the regulations. He first checked his weapons. There was a plasma sword on his waist, which was Bahram's broken-horned evil star. The opponent insisted on letting him bring it. On it, there is also a plasma pistol, a melta pistol, and 6 grenades, 3 of which are fragmentation bombs, 2 plasma bullets, and 1 shock bomb. The main weapon on hand is a combination of explosive bombs and plasma. composite weapons.
Generally speaking, they rarely use compound weapons in combat. After all, the disadvantages of this weapon are as obvious as the advantages. The advantage is that it integrates the attack methods of two weapons. The disadvantage is that they must make concessions in performance, and The weight will increase greatly.
However, the weapon he is using now is an "experimental work" and is the first finished product launched by Ulan Huda through unremitting efforts in the past twenty years under Soshyan's order to improve the bolt gun.
This new type of composite bolter has a longer body and a redesigned internal structure, "borrowing" the compact internal design of the short man's bedrock bolter and making extensive use of high-temperature-resistant special alloys. , and at the same time integrated the Chapter's unique rapid-fire plasma weapons into it, but changed the position from the traditional bottom-mounted type to the plasma shooting hole above the explosive firing hole, and also moved the heat dissipation device to the top, avoiding the previous bottom-mounted type. The heat dissipation of plasma composite weapons will affect the user's grip. Due to this series of improvements, the length of the composite bolter has also reached 1.5 times that of the existing standard bolter. Fortunately, the weight has not increased too much, even The arrogant mechanical magus also had to admit that the Hearthborn's design was indeed superior.
