Chapter 1077 The Reach Star Campaign!
After waiting for three days in confusion, it finally came to the day of the actual machine test. Li Gaoliang, who was lying on the virtual reality device with his most elite subordinates, finally figured out where the Zhiyuan star Lu Zhou was talking about.
The boundless space, the blue planet, and the endless starship...
"Fuck! This is... the Magpie Bridge?"
"It doesn't look like... a bit like it was modified by magic."
Standing in a slightly obscured room, everyone who had already connected their consciousness to the virtual reality system had shocking expressions on their faces.
Different from the chaotic space composed of fragments they experienced before, and their previous feeling of peeping into the strange world from the perspective of bystanders, everything here is so real, whether it is the heavy texture on the shoulders, Or the clanging sound when the soles of the feet stepped on the ground, no one could find a trace of flaws, making people feel like they were in it.
This feeling is as if some accident happened to the experiment, and all of them passed through the laboratory of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study to this starship.
Yes, this time is different.
Whether it is sound or touch, this time it is not achieved with the help of external equipment.
It was as if it was projected directly into their brains just like the picture presented in front of them...
Of course, compared to the background wall outside the porthole, what is more shocking is the armor on their bodies and the rifles hanging on their chests.
These very sci-fi armors were presented in such a clear form in their eyes that even though they were very clear that they were lying in a laboratory of less than 100 square meters at the moment, they still couldn't help it. Under the background of this war atmosphere, a hint of urgency in the heart could not help but arise from the storm.
"This equipment is really heavy..." Trying to move his bulky arms, the slightly burly man couldn't help but frowned, "It weighs at least a hundred catties."
Even in a microgravity environment, this heaviness can still be felt.
Although this heavy weight can make people feel safe, his expression is not too relaxed.
It is quite dangerous to use unfamiliar equipment, especially when the equipment itself is so heavy, it may be a living target on the battlefield.
Standing beside him, the slightly shorter man raised his arms and looked at him, and said with a frown as well.
"Bullet armor?"
"No..." The man standing next to him, with a long-range rifle on his back and a rather calm face, was pointing something in the air with his fingers, and said thoughtfully, "It seems The exoskeleton...the tactical eyepiece is equipped with a holographic system, and there are tutorials in it, including how to use the weapons in your hands."
At this moment, the hatch on the side suddenly opened.
Seeing Captain Li who came in from behind the door, who was also fully armed like them, and Professor Lu standing next to Leader Li, the group immediately stopped talking and stood at attention in a uniform manner to give a military salute.
Li Gaoliang glanced at Lu Zhou, and saw Lu Zhou nodded, with a subtle embarrassment inexplicably appearing on his face.
Just when these soldiers were wondering why their regiment leader showed such an expression, they saw him take a deep breath, took two steps forward, looked around them and said.
"I know you are surprised now... In fact, I am more surprised than you when I see all this."
"Although it is an exercise, I hope you can treat it as a war. The battlefield is under our feet!"
Two sentences briefly explained the situation, Li Gaoliang looked back at Lu Zhou again, and asked if he could skip the nonsense and start directly.
However, his expectations were in vain.
I saw that Academician Lu was staring at him with great interest, his eyes full of interest seemed to be urging him to continue quickly, in short, he did not intend to let him go.
After hesitating for a moment, because obeying orders is the bounden duty of a soldier, Li Gaoliang finally bit the bullet and turned his head back. With a straight face and a stiff voice, he quickly recited the lines in the set.
"...our allies on Reach have been attacked by hostile forces, and as Defenders of the Republic, our mission is to reach the communication towers at the colonial outpost, ensure the normal operation of ground communication facilities, and set air strike coordinates for orbital weapons."
"The tutorial on how to use the equipment is in the user manual built into the exoskeleton. Press the button on the right side of the tactical eyepiece to start the holographic control interface."
"Our spaceship will arrive at the airdrop area in 20 minutes, now you have ten minutes to familiarize yourself with the equipment on your body."
He pinched his watch and looked at the time on the timer, it just stopped at ten minutes.
Li Gaoliang lowered his right arm, stood still and looked at the people in the cabin, and shouted sharply.
"Are you ready!"
All soldiers stood at attention.
"Ready!"
Li Gaoliang waved his hand and turned around.
"Set off!"
Watching the group leave the cabin, Lu Zhou turned and came to the command center.
The people who work here are actually NPCs. Since there is no more complicated behavior logic for them, when Lu Zhou came here, they just followed the written instructions as if they hadn’t seen Lu Zhou. "Script" is just doing some repetitive work.
For him, it's like watching a movie.
And still sitting in the special seat.
"... It's good to watch movies with virtual reality technology. As long as the audience's perspective is set in a suitable auditorium, the audience can even participate in the plot without interfering with the plot." Through the holographic screen, watching Looking at the soldiers who had already stepped into the airborne cabin, Lu Zhou showed a look of interest on his face, and said to himself, "Yes, this idea can be written down."
At the same time, according to the arrangement in the script, a group of people stepped into the buffer room where the airborne capsule was placed in uniform steps.
Under the instructions of the staff next to him... or the NPC, Li Gaoliang connected the life support system to the exoskeleton on his body in a hurry.
Honestly, it feels pretty bad.
Anyway, he can be regarded as an experienced fighter, but at this moment he feels like a recruit who has been driven away.
At this time, the voice of the headquarters rang in my ears.
"The airdrop area is approaching and is expected to arrive in thirty seconds."
"..."
"five."
"Four."
"three."
"two."
"one."
The countdown sound almost just ended.
Accompanied by a muffled clicking sound, a huge thrust came from behind everyone, and it gradually amplified.
"The orbit was successful, and the airborne procedure is starting."
"Steel is our footprint!"
"Good luck, soldiers!"
"The cabin is separated!"
In front of the scorching airflow, the roaring steel was like a piece of paper swaying in the wind.
The moment it hit the atmosphere, a huge force suddenly came from the seat.
Sitting in the cabin, Li Gaoliang gritted his teeth, but the shock in his heart gradually amplified.
This feeling is too similar.
During the exercise, the feeling of breaking into the surface from space in an airborne capsule was exactly the same...
The distance of hundreds of kilometers was instantly crossed, and the buffer ejected orange-red flames.
When approaching 100 meters from the surface, the smoke grenade installed under the airborne cabin quickly ejected, and the exploding smoke screen instantly covered the battlefield.
As the airborne capsule hit the ground heavily, a group of well-trained fighters quickly protruded from the cabin door, set up their weapons, and turned on the infrared imaging device mounted on the tactical eyepiece.
However, there was a deathly silence all around, and there was no sign of living things in the shadows under the vegetation blown here and there by the air current.
The rifle in his hand was locked on the shadow not far away. One of the soldiers took a slow and deep breath and asked in a low voice on the communication channel.
"Sir, who is our enemy? Yankees or Maozi? What the hell are the vegetation here? Why is it different from the ones I have seen?"
His eyes were also fixed on the shadow not far away. Li Gaoliang answered the question in a deep voice while checking the map: "It is said that they are aliens."
"Out—? What the hell!?"
There was no time left for this group of people to be surprised.
In the distance, there was a series of tooth-piercing screams.
The scream that pierced the eardrum was so real, as if it came from the depths of the soul, making the scalp numb.
As if the horn of attack was sounded, the dense footsteps in the distance were like running through the forest.
In an instant, scarlet bright spots filled the entire screen.
Accompanied by the sound of the earth trembling, sharp claws rushed into the battlefield from the edge of the smoke.
Lying behind the moving eyes, the pupils of the soldiers who had already set up their machine guns staring at the optical sights suddenly shrank.
enemy……
It's the swarm!
