The battle in the valley was fierce, and the special task force was well prepared. The Mink Bear mercenaries were well-equipped and highly skilled in combat. They had a crushing advantage against the unprepared Yuting Banchu, which consisted of less than a hundred ninjas.
The first round of artillery fire at the beginning of the battle directly wiped out half of the opponent's effective forces, and at the same time uncovered the secret base hidden underground. Bai Qi led the crowd into the valley to launch the second wave of offensive. Reconnaissance drones cooperated in the air, and the thermal imaging detection device basically disabled the function of ninjutsu to paralyze human vision.
The Japanese ninjas in the valley had nowhere to hide. Facing the mercenaries' advanced equipment and more scientific combat techniques, they had no room to use. They could only use the terrain to maximize the characteristics of ninjutsu to break out.
At the exit of the valley, Long Gongming's raiding team had already opened their pockets and waited for these fish that had slipped through the net. The others were caught and beaten to death with little ability to fight back. Only Nobutsuna Kamizumi is a bit troublesome. This guy is so powerful that ordinary mercenaries can't get close to him even if they have exoskeleton armor for protection. The high-voltage electric shock devices in our hands could not touch his edge at all. Even in the dark, he could compete with the mercenaries equipped with night vision devices and thermal imaging cameras with only his naked eyes.
Long Gongming planned to catch him personally, but was stopped by Li Muye. This man is at the end of his strength, but it is often the most dangerous thing to fight against a trapped beast. If you want to compete with him, you will have plenty of opportunities after you catch him, but there is no need at this time. I directly activated two drones, brought in anesthesia bullets, and locked him in. It was done.
So far, Schroeder's troops only showed up with an underground drill to rescue Taeko Kazama and the four Jonin of the Five Blades.
Long Gongming said that this kind of machine has huge horsepower and amazing energy consumption. Although the combustible ice engine basically solves the fuel problem, the combustion itself still requires a large amount of oxygen-containing air. The deeper you drill underground, the less air there is, so its high-power oxygen pump must stay on the surface to provide air for the drilled tunnel. But the conditions in this place are limited, and in order to maintain the suddenness, they did not prepare an oxygen pump at all. So he concluded that the machine wouldn't be able to hold it down there for long.
Sure enough, just when Long Gongming's analysis was clear, the ground at the entrance of the valley suddenly shook violently, and a huge thing suddenly emerged from the ground. It had a screw drill bit like a bull's horn at the front, and behind it was a huge fuselage equivalent to the size of two trains.
The turret lit up, and the electromagnetic cannons on the four turrets fired simultaneously. With a loud bang, the machine was blown to pieces. Li Muye's sharp eyes immediately saw that this station was not the one that had picked up Taeko Kazama before. Just as he was about to issue a warning, he saw the broken body of the machine suddenly split open, and an earth drilling machine with the same appearance but slightly smaller size leaped out, and the top of it lit up at the same time!
"It's a laser weapon!" Long Gongming shouted in surprise.
A beam of light accurately hit a turret on the left. With a loud bang, the turret, the tree, and the two mercenaries on it were blown to pieces.
Other turrets immediately fired at this thing, but there was a multi-hole laser cannon in the center of this earth drill, which fired multiple beams at the same time and accurately intercepted the electromagnetic artillery shells. The cannonball exploded in the air and turned into countless sparks, and the machine took advantage of this moment to get into the ground again.
The duck that reached its mouth just flew away
Li Muye saw it clearly, but he could only stare in stunned silence. Long Gongming's layout has been perfect, and it can be said that all the resources currently available have been utilized to the extreme. But the opponent's weapons are obviously better. The laser weapon that can accurately intercept artillery shells at such a short distance is really awesome. It is completely beyond the era. If Long Gongming hadn't arranged it rationally and had clever tactics, that thing would have even had a chance. Come and fight back.
"Can you copy this thing?" Li Muye asked.
"Theoretically it's possible, but in practice it's difficult." Long Gongming shook his head and said: "Only by using superconducting technology to create a superconducting energy storage device to store super-intensity current can we produce high-intensity lasers. At present, the technology has been compared. Mature, the real difficulty is the detection and sensing part. It is too difficult to detect the trajectory of the artillery shell in such a short distance and time, and issue a launch command to intercept the opponent's weapon."
"If we provide you with enough resources and scientific research assistants, how long will it take you to build it?"
Long Gongming pondered for a while and said: "At least five years."
"No, it's too slow." Li Muye shook his head and said, "It seems that we can only find a solution on the other side."
Long Gongming said: "Actually, we don't have to be obsessed with this thing. The power of the electromagnetic gun is not inferior to that thing, and it may even be more effective in some situations."
"We still have to fight for what we should have." Li Muye said: "Of course there is no rush."
Long Gongming said: "Schroeder also knew that this was under our noses and did not dare to make any big moves. He only sent Fontrich and his son to bring two machines. This old devil has always been careful in his actions. I judge that He wants to use the Japanese to find out our details first, and once he finds out, he will definitely make a move with thunderous force!"
Li Muye nodded and said: "No matter what, Nanyang is the bottom line, and the right to speak here must belong to us."
Long Gongming said: "It's really not easy for you. There are conservative restrictions at home, and there are opponents like Schroeder and the Japanese outside."
"Perhaps there is also the Holy Ecumenical Alliance." Li Muye said with a smile: "In my life, before I was twenty years old, I never thought about how promising I could be or how much responsibility I could bear. At that time, my biggest thought was to make enough money to marry my beloved. He married a woman back home, but his sweetheart failed to marry him, and his lover became a brother and sister. He met Bai Wuxia in the world, and found his biological mother. Suddenly, life became very interesting."
"You are talking about Bai Wuxia, I have learned something about your nominal wife these days." Long Gongming said: "She is definitely a big shot who has mastered the core secrets of ancient Chinese civilization. Even Schroeder is not willing to Mess with her."
"Her ambitions are by no means inferior to Schroeder's." Li Muye said, "But fortunately, she has shifted her focus to the Western world."
Long Gongming said: "It's strange that she doesn't seem to be interested in such a big thing as the crypt of the palace. Don't you think this is a bit unusual?"
Li Muye said: "There's nothing surprising. I'm here, what else is she here for?"
Long Gongming chuckled and said: "Boss, don't feel too good about yourself. From what I've learned, I don't think your wife is the type who is obedient and obedient. She treats you more." It’s mostly an attitude of control and conquest.”
"You mean, there is nothing of interest to her in the crypts of the shrine?"
Long Gongming said: "The boss is a very smart person. If not, she would at least send someone to mean it."
"There is another possibility." Li Muye pondered: "But for the time being, I just have a suspicion."
Long Gongming asked in confusion: "Are there other possibilities?"
Li Muye nodded and said: "It's just a preliminary suspicion. There is no way to confirm it yet. A person who I haven't been in contact with for a long time seems to have had some unusual changes recently. He suddenly appeared in front of me. He looked like he was here to help. But sometimes she does some destructive things, and I can't see what she is going to do..."
PS: I’m so dizzy after drinking that I’m afraid I’ve filled in the wrong holes in front of me, so I’ll stop here today. (End of chapter)
