Chapter 112 Unlocking
"Warrant Officer Amber! Company C of the 177th Combined Battalion Motorized Infantry under the 83rd Combined Brigade is here to report!"
The support force sent by Lieutenant Colonel Dallas finally arrived. core control area.
In addition to the mobile infantry companies in front of Amber, which brought a lot of heavy firepower, there were also 10 heavy power armored motorized infantry companies.
According to the report of the company commander, there are many multi-legged tanks, armored vehicles and other vehicles carrying out defense outside the core control area and at the main passage.
Since this location is the base area of the space elevator, if the imperial troops want to attack by force, they must consider the damage that various high-power directed energy weapons may cause to the base structure.
In this case, as long as the imperial forces still have the idea of taking down the space elevator, their offensive firepower will definitely be limited.
On the contrary, the federal forces backed by the base area of the space elevator were able to gain a period of firepower advantage.
And Amber also believes that the empire has airdropped so many troops to the ground, especially after the large-scale transfer of many heavily armed troops through the air and space transport fleet in the past few days, which further proves that they want to take The combat determination to get off the space elevator rather than blow it up.
So no matter what, the federal troops here and in other areas of the front can buy enough time.
"Thank you for your support. I'll leave this place to you soon!"
Amber raised his hand awkwardly and saluted. He was still a little a little embarrassed when a captain on the other side reported to him and a warrant officer so respectfully. Not adaptable.
However, the commander of the motorized infantry company did not feel that there was anything wrong. He returned the salute naturally, and then led his group of howling motorized infantry to set up the defense line.
Amber also had no ink stains and turned back to the core control room.
At the top of a cylinder rising in the center of the control room, a small groove is waiting for the key to be inserted.
Major Randall is standing in front of the terminal of this control room, checking whether the system parameters of the space elevator are normal.
Although the Major is only a federal naval officer, he is usually responsible for various matters at the Lansford Naval Port Combat Command Center.
But as a person with the authority to control the space elevator, he has also received relevant in-depth training.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be funny if a person who has the authority to activate the space elevator arrives at the scene in an emergency but cannot operate the equipment.
“What do you think, Major, the space elevator has What’s the problem?”
Amber moved closer to Randall. This naval officer who usually seemed a bit bohemian was in a rare state of serious work at this moment.
"From the parameters, there is no problem. All data records are still at the moment when I locked the space elevator."
Major Randall raised his right hand and pointed with his index finger. Refers to a large list of records on the screen.
“Look, the empire really drove their warship into the port, and then tried to use the shipboard control personality to crack it!”
“But judging from the current situation, they still failed.”
"Of course, how can this thing be so easy to crack? Praise to the inventor of the key, Dr. Mihail!"
Randall took the black rectangular parallelepiped from his neck, then kissed it and stood looking at it. Amber beside her felt a chill.
"The parameters of the space elevator are fine. Just insert the key to unlock it and it can run directly."
"Okay, I'll ask others how they are preparing. "
Amber walked to the side and opened the team communication channel, asking about the situation of others, and quickly received a reply that everything was normal in the launch area.
At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas also contacted Amber and informed him of the latest situation.
First of all, the federal escort detachment responsible for retaking the space elevator has gained the upper hand in the battle in space, and is expected to be able to enter Lansford Port and release the assault force soon.
So Amber and the others need to speed up their progress so that they can cooperate internally and externally after arriving first to assist the warships in entering the port and reduce their own casualties.
Second, the main force of the federal fleet has officially entered battle with the imperial fleet. The empire has invested some new strategic weapons. Currently, the federal fleet is at a disadvantage. After telling these two latest news, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas said the last words:
"The battle for the main fleet is not going well. This battle may not end so soon, and we don't know how many people will die.
If you can leave, try to take away everyone who went up with you.
You are a psyker, and you have enough abilities. I hope you have the opportunity to help kill this inhuman thing, Adam, as a way to avenge so many soldiers who died on the Robert 4.
Amber. , Goodbye."
After saying this last paragraph, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas interrupted the communication, and Amber had mixed feelings for a while.
Now, after going through many hardships, the plan to escape Robert IV has reached the final and most critical stage.
However, perhaps at this time, Amber has inherited the memory, skills, physical fitness and psychic abilities of this body, but her soul is still the ordinary earthly social animal game house she was in her previous life.
So this ordinary soul is somewhat reluctant to let go of these comrades who have fought side by side with him for so long.
But Amber also knew that this idea was wrong, dangerous, and inappropriate.
Not to mention whether he has enough ability now, just his embarrassing identity of "not a human being inside and outside" and Lilith in his mind force him to leave this place immediately and leave the Federation. and disappeared from sight of the empire.
Perhaps because psychics have a stronger ability to regulate emotions, Amber quickly put these strange thoughts and emotions behind her.
“Concentrate!”
Amber, who was focused again, walked to Major Randall and informed the latter of the ‘everything is ready’ situation.
Randall nodded after hearing this, then carefully inserted the key into the groove at the top of the cylinder, and then clicked a few times on the control terminal.
The core control room, which originally had some equipment not functioning, suddenly came to life. Various instruments and equipment gradually came online, which also showed that the space elevator had been unlocked.
"It's done now. I have remotely mapped the control system to my terminal. We only need to go up and find a car to get up."
Randall looked excitedly at the car that was running again. Core Control Room, and then removed the key from the top of the cylinder.
This thing is only used for locking and unlocking, and there is no need to plug it in normally.
After doing all this, Amber and Randall also took the transfer elevator to the launch area and quickly arrived at their destination.
The car chosen by the assault team was not far from the transfer elevator, so Amber and Randall quickly joined the others after finding a shuttle bus.
In addition to the two HCPs, all members of the assault team participating in the next step of the operation, including Isabel, electronic warfare technicians, and communications personnel, were all replaced with the standard medium-sized exoskeleton of the mobile infantry.
And the damaged silicon carbide armor plates were replaced, and then the fuel and battery packs were replenished.
At the same time, everyone also mounted additional armor plates and small jetpacks.
Then all body-barrel weapons were abandoned, retaining only combat spikes, combat armor-piercing bullets, shields, concussive daggers, chainswords, or long-handled carbon crystal blade battle axes.
The only long-range weapon may be the automatic shotgun in the hands of some mobile infantry.
These mobile infantry may not have participated in several combat trainings on space stations and space ports, but they still know a basic principle.
To fight in these places that are solid on the outside but delicate and fragile on the inside, first throw away those powerful Gauss rifles, portable electromagnetic guns and individual missiles in your hands.
Unless you want to make a hole in the airport and be sucked into outer space, and then during the 15-minute extravehicular activity time limit of the exoskeleton and combat suit, you can reflect on why you did this stupid thing.
