Chapter 702: Confrontation

In the huge conference room, the command system that had just been set up was already in operation, and with a light beep, the images were projected onto several large screens in front of them.

Yang Yechao and others sat here, looking at the five shaky shots separated above the screen.

In the next room, the referees from both China and the United States are already in place.

The confrontation training between China and the United States officially started with a team of five, and the confrontation venue was placed in a barren hill and woods behind.

The forests in the northwest are mostly mountain forests, which are not as lush as the forests in the south, completely covering the entire mountain.

On this mountain, the exposed rocks and lush foliage reflect, and it is difficult to conceal the hidden figures of both sides.

The two sides selected the direction by drawing lots, and then each entered the area from the north and the south. In the next day, whoever eliminated the other side first would be considered the winner.

The Chinese blade team, as the captain of the blade team, was at the forefront as a scout. The five-person team was divided into a 1-3-1 formation. They had been walking in the forest for more than two hours.

Heizi, who was in charge of carrying supplies, was wearing a super-heavy "ostrich" load-type second-generation bone, carrying up to 200 kilograms of supplies on his back and walking in the middle, protected by two companions in the center, among whom was only a huge battery pack. One hundred kilograms, not to mention, he was also loaded with other people's spare batteries.

In addition, he has a mobile weapons supply station, a dock for auxiliary equipment.

These three modules are standard interface mounts of the same size in appearance.

Heizi had four of these storage compartments, and one was filled with water.

The weight of the four loading bays pressed against the powered exoskeleton, making Heizi's footsteps very heavy, and he was also the slowest moving one in the entire team.

In ancient wars, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass went first. However, in modern warfare, the proportion of food and grass is getting smaller and smaller. The appearance of compressed biscuits and battlefield water filter devices has made drinking water easier to obtain and carry. The mount for drinking water is the lightest.

Among the four mounting compartments, the busiest one is the "auxiliary equipment dock" located on the right back.

At this moment, an order from Daofeng came from Heizi's earphone: "Heizi, prepare to release the reconnaissance drone."

"Got it, release the reconnaissance drone." Heizi whispered, and then the auxiliary device dock on his right rear shoulder opened, and two ducted drones flew out.

The ducted aircraft is a relatively rare flying device.

These two ducted drones are both spherical and small in size. There is a large vertical hole in the center of the sphere, and the only propeller is here.

As the propeller turns, air is drawn into the duct from above and ejected from below, creating thrust.

In other words, an ordinary multi-axis UAV places the equipment in the center and arranges four, six, or eight symmetrical propellers around it.

For ducted drones, the propeller is placed in the center, and other equipment is placed around the duct.

Ducted drones are smaller, more stealthy, and less noisy than ordinary multi-axis drones, but they are also more difficult to maneuver and require higher balance and algorithms.

As the civilian drone product of Lanshen Technology, a week ago, Lanshen Technology launched the second-generation product, which has expanded its drone products from multi-axis to ducted, fixed-wing and other product lines.

After the ducted drone flew out, it did not fly high, but lowered its altitude, and flew towards the mountains and forests at a distance of about one meter from the ground.

After releasing the ducted drone, the auxiliary equipment dock on Heizi's body unfolded again, revealing a grid-shaped space similar to a "honeycomb". In each hexagonal "honeycomb", there is a pointed head. Two of them made a "bang", two consecutive "bang", and two black cylindrical objects were ejected into the air.

In the sky, two cylindrical objects suddenly spread a pair of wings, and flew higher into the air against the wind.

It looks like two swallows.

These are two fixed-wing drones, a simplified version of the "goose" on the Silence, "Swallow".

Swallow is a propeller-thrust fixed-wing UAV. Its flight angle is relatively high. If it is set to only carry out key frame image transmission, its battery life is very long, and it can carry out long-term high-altitude detection.

The two ducted drones are flexible low-altitude reconnaissance, and can find all clues.

After the four drones flew out, the large screen in the command center immediately split into nine different screens.

Two swallows in the sky, a picture suddenly flashed, and then a group of people moving on the ground was marked on the picture.

Five members of the U.S. military, dressed as second-generation land warriors, were walking quickly at the foot of the mountain.

"Swallow 1 found the target." The prompt sounded from the ears of the five Chinese people. At the same time, the micro-projector projected the picture into the retinas of several people, and marked the distance and route of the two sides. "Whether to carry out a fixed-point strike?" .”

The two "swallow" drones are also equipped with ejection weapons, but they are anesthetics, not lethal weapons. At this time, one of them has already flown over the land warriors, and one dive can take away one of them. .

"Don't attack, follow and monitor." As the captain, Blade ordered.

"Received, monitoring is in progress." The drone responded.

If it wasn't for the slightly stiff voice, no one would have realized that it was not human beings who answered the blade's order, but two "swallows" with artificial intelligence.

"The server resources currently used by Yanzi are our Qingda Lazy God. If you want to put Yanzi into the battlefield, you'd better be able to carry your own control center." An engineer explained to Yang Yechao and others.

Yang Yechao nodded. To be honest, the reaction of the two drones even exceeded their expectations.

The operation of drones is also a distraction on the battlefield. It is okay if someone controls them remotely, but if not, it will also affect the combat effectiveness of the combatants on the scene.

At this time, the two drones can respond to voice commands by themselves. The originally five-person team expanded into a nine-person team in an instant, as if adding a few more helpers out of thin air. This feeling is really great.

Although the purchase price of this drone has not been asked yet, Yang Yechao has already decided to purchase a batch. Most of the drones developed in our country are at the strategic level, and a small part of them are at the tactical level, and they are not for individual support.

And this kind of drone can be armed to every squad and every individual soldier.

And since the procurement is for military use, they have to build their own combat command center out of reason.

What Lanshen Technology sells is not just a powered exoskeleton, but a series of equipment around the powered exoskeleton, or future individual soldiers, including combat command centers, central processing systems, and auxiliary equipment.

The auxiliary equipment is far more than just these drones, and these do not require additional charges, and will be distributed according to the purchase quantity.

Speaking of which, a set of 15 million powered exoskeletons is actually not expensive, and Yang Yechao wants to buy more sets.

"Calculate the route, analyze the route, and the possible routes are as follows..." Yang Yechao was thinking about it, and the central processing system next to him had already given some suggestions.

"Ambush on line C." Daofeng made a decisive decision, then replaced a set of new batteries himself, and threw the remaining batteries to Heizi, "I'll go ahead and detect."

Everyone had no objection to Daofeng's order, and a team of five people quickly divided into two teams. Daofeng accelerated his speed and moved forward. Four people, including Microphone and Heizi, changed direction and walked in the direction of line C.

Although the two sides are separated, the communication has been kept smooth, and the relative position will always be displayed on the map. They can even share their vision and respond at any time.

Just now, the blade team had been moving at the foot of the mountain because of the heavy-duty Heizi, and did not go up. At this time, they were separated from Heizi and the others. The blade, which has the most mobility, immediately no longer hesitated.

He turned the power to the maximum, and ran towards the mountain like flying.

During the attack, Blade heard a reminder, which came from a ducted drone: "The enemy's release of the drone was detected."

Powered exoskeletons and drones are a perfect match, and the Earth Warriors obviously also have them. At this time, they also released the drones, bypassed the mountain, and searched for the other side of the mountain.

"The drone is moving in the direction of team B, do you want to intercept?" Duo drone asked for an order.

"Temporarily track and monitor, don't be found." Dao Feng ordered, and at the same time reminded the microphone: "The enemy has also released drones, you should be careful to hide."

"Received." The microphone said.

During the conversation between the two sides, in the field of vision of Daofeng, the picture was changing rapidly, and the trees and rocks were retreating rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the front was wide open, and he had already climbed to the top of the mountain.

The speed is thirty-five kilometers per hour, and the speed of running on the mountain is so fast, so much more than a cool word?

After reaching the top of the mountain, Dao Feng licked his lips, suddenly let out a laugh, and then jumped forward suddenly.

With a muffled "bang", the stones on the ground were almost cracked by his kick, and with this recoil force, the blade leaped forward.

Daofeng felt the huge wind force coming towards him, whistling, he opened his arms suddenly, a pair of translucent wings spread behind him, swung around in the air, a huge lifting force lifted him up , flew into the air with a swish, and chased the Earth Warriors from behind.

The moment the blade flew up, an order was issued: "Gaze detection, cover mode."

The two swallows circling in the air, which had been hanging far away before, accelerated to fly forward at this time.

At the same time, the images of the land warriors and others on the ground zoomed in, and the central processing system began to detect their line of sight based on the images, and continuously marked the blind spots for the blade. This is the so-called eye detection.

The blade continuously adjusts its direction in the air, catering to the wind, while avoiding the sight of everyone on the ground. The earth warrior has individual radar, which can sense it within a kilometer range. When the blade approaches a distance of one kilometer from the air, one of the people's ears Suddenly there was a beeping alarm.

Raytheon started out with radar. Their individual radar technology is very good. Although the focus is not on the air, the data displayed in the blade's eyepiece during the radar warning is that the opponent is still 800 meters away.

"Harassment!" Dao Feng gave an order, and the two swallows in the sky suddenly made a piercing sound, and then swooped down.

"Damn! So it's a drone!" There seemed to be a scolding voice on the ground. Their radar did not detect that the two swallows in the sky were actually drones. At this time, they saw two unmanned The machine pulled the alarm and rushed down, a little confused, but they were all excellent soldiers, and without waiting for an order, one of the big black men raised his gun and fired.

"Pfft!" There was a sound, and the maneuverability of the swallow in the sky was very good, but the shot missed.

Several other people also raised their guns and shot at the swallows in the sky. The two swallows quickly lowered their altitude, plunged into the woods, and disappeared.

While Yanzi attracted the other party's attention, Dao Feng gave an order: "Spray!"

With a sound of "poof", a blue flame spurted out from behind the blade, and the second-generation bone "Falcon" seemed to have really turned into a falcon at this time, accelerating instantly, and there was a sharp howl in the air, like It's like a goshawk shooting straight down.

Hearing the howling sound, the five members of the Earth Warriors hurriedly turned their heads, but it was already too late.

Two of them only felt their heads jerk, and then a sharp pain came.

"No. 1 is killed, No. 3 is killed, please leave the battlefield!" The prompt voice sounded.

Although it was not a deadly live ammunition, the bullets still hurt when they hit the body. The two men were almost armed to the teeth, but the two bullets precisely passed through the gaps in the defensive armor and shot directly at the back of the two men's necks. The sensory suit worn next to the body left a fatal wound.

The remaining three people turned around and raised their guns almost at the same time, looking into the sky.

Even the well-informed American soldiers were dumbfounded at this moment: "Damn, what is that? That guy can fly!"

"Don't stand still! Shoot!" No. 1, who was killed in battle, was the commander of the team, he reminded in a low voice.

Immediately, the voice of the referee group sounded: "Earth Warrior No. 1, please abide by the rules and withdraw from the battle!"

No. 1 hurriedly shut up, but after his reminder, the members of the Earth Warriors team also reacted and raised their guns to shoot at the sky.

At this moment, the two "swallows" that flew away just now flew out of the woods again. There were two "bang", "bang", two smoke bombs exploded in the air, and they couldn't see anything for a while .

In the confusion, there was a "poof", and another notification sounded: "The No. 4 land warrior was killed in battle, please withdraw from the battle."

"Damn it! This swallow can still explode itself..." No. 4, who was sprayed with self-explosive paint, died of depression.

When the remaining two people got rid of the smoke bombs, they saw that the "Falcon" spraying tail flames had already flown above the mountain forest. Like a tired bird returning to the forest, it suddenly turned and fell into the forest.

"Hurry up, he fell into the woods!" The two gritted their teeth, three of them were killed before the large forces of both sides came into contact, how could this be so?

Holding their guns, the two climbed up the mountain.

They lost three people in battle. If they didn't keep this raider here, they would have to fight two against five. Even if they had a great advantage in firepower, they probably wouldn't be able to regain their numerical disadvantage.

So they had to keep the Raider here!

It is a pity that the weight of the Earth Warrior is fully twice that of the first generation of lazy gods. After mounting the individual radar and a large number of weapons, its own weight is even more amazing. Wearing this body to climb mountains is really too difficult , Several times, they almost tripped over by themselves...

Watching them stumbling and climbing the mountain, and recalling how the blade was flying up the mountain just now, the members of the referee team who were observing in the command center couldn't help shaking their heads.

Perhaps "performance" can be measured by power, but for a wearable weapon like a powered exoskeleton, what really affects combat effectiveness is probably not just performance, but various design details.

In terms of details and flexibility, compared with the second-generation bone, the land warrior is like the bullock cart compared to F1...

Even several officers of the U.S. military wrote a line in their small notebooks at this time: "The second generation of land warriors, the actual combat evaluation has decreased." (To be continued.)
