From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 113 Fighting Preparation

The fact that these mobile infantrymen who are about to enter the military port to fight in the sky have replaced these combat weapons does not mean that there are so many restrictions on infantry combat outside the planet.

The hollowed-out interior of asteroids, celestial fortresses, super-large spaceports, and battleships

When infantry engage in close combat in these places, the two sides actually fight similarly to the ground, except that they need to pay more attention to posture control in a zero-gravity or microgravity environment.

But if it is a military port like Lansford Military Port, which is in the second or third echelon of the military spaceport sequence of the Federation.

And if the combat goal is to occupy the entire space rather than destroy it, then the firepower of the engagement must be controlled.

High-penetration weapons such as Gauss rifles and portable electromagnetic guns can easily cause additional damage when fired inside the spaceport.

Destroying the internal electronic equipment is a small matter. If you are unlucky and hit a hatch or a structural connection point, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, even the assault troops that broke into the military port before the empire strictly controlled the firepower of the engagement.

They were basically equipped with close-range combat weapons, and only a few special shooters were equipped with high-precision gunpowder kinetic rifles, and most of the time they had no chance to fire.

Of course, if the combat goal was not to occupy but to annihilate personnel or destroy targets, there would be fewer restrictions.

Just like the several times Amber had participated in the game before, raiding the enemy guild's space station.

The 'Pink Furry Rabbit' where Amber was was firing at full power, and then the space station began to disintegrate as the battle progressed, and the battlefield also changed from the inside of the space station to the fragmented wreckage of the space station.

In this case, the HCPs driven by the two rookie pilots retained all their firepower.

But in fact, the only ones that could be used were the close-range defense laser and the physical heavy sword.

And the main reason why Amber asked them to follow with the HCP was as a backup option.

In case of any emergency, the heavy particle cannons on the shoulder weapon racks of these two Steppenwolves were still sufficiently deterrent.

Several mobile infantrymen brought over the "Breaker II" that Amber had replaced before. With their help, Amber also took off the heavy hydraulic anti-gravity suit and put on the combat uniform and exoskeleton again.

However, some of the weapons on the Breaker could not be used for the time being.

The anti-vehicle missile launcher on the back was directly abandoned and replaced with a jet backpack for moving in a zero-gravity environment.

The external triple grenade launchers on the legs also changed the internal ammunition from killing grenades to stun grenades.

The 12mm Gauss machine gun naturally could not be used. Amber directly found the temporary weapons depot in the launch area and took out a shock sword from it.

This thing is essentially an enlarged version of the shock dagger, but it requires certain skills for the user.

After completing the change of clothes, Amber took the mobile infantry and two HCPs into the nearest elevator. After fixing the two steel giants on the restraint frame, the others also fixed themselves and the exoskeleton to their seats.

Major Randall operated on his personal terminal, and the door of the elevator was quickly closed. At the same time, all the doors were locked and began to check the overall airtightness.

The control and self-check of the entire space elevator were performed by a special control personality. After Randall unlocked the space elevator, this control personality was also awakened and took over the control of the space elevator.

Soon, Randall's terminal received a prompt of "self-check passed, ready to launch".

After confirming that everyone was ready, Randall directly chose "emergency launch".

A gentle female voice also sounded in the elevator, which was the voice of the control personality.

"Emergency launch program is starting 3, 2, 1, launch!"

Suddenly, an acceleration that most people in this elevator had never experienced suddenly came, and everyone was pressed firmly in place.

The basic anti-gravity system on the combat suit and exoskeleton was also activated under this acceleration and started to operate automatically.

This space elevator on Robert IV can actually be regarded as a large electromagnetic gun if you have to say it.

The entire elevator is the rod in the magnetic channel, but at the end of the running track, it does not penetrate the opponent's armor plate, but starts to slow down and prepare to enter the docking area.

In order to rush to the spaceport as soon as possible, Randall pulled the space elevator's ascent speed to the maximum limit that can be achieved in a manned state.

But it is obvious that he forgot that the mobile infantry in the elevator are not professional orbital assaulters, and they spend most of their time on the ground.

Although their combat uniforms and exoskeletons can play a certain role in anti-load protection, they are obviously still a little "uncomfortable" with this degree of acceleration.

When the elevator rushed out of the atmosphere and really entered the outer space, Amber unlocked his position and floated up.

He slightly adapted to this feeling of weightlessness, and then after continuous leverage on the cabin wall, he floated over the heads of these mobile infantry.

At a glance, several people have fainted.

"Tsk, you still need to strengthen your training, the people around you"

Amber pointed to the companions around these fainted mobile infantry.

"I'll be responsible for waking them up later!"

"Yes, sir!"

After confirming that there were no other unexpected situations among the members of the assault team, Amber used the back of a chair to push herself and floated towards the control console of the car.

Randall, Tom and Isabel were sitting in this position, responsible for monitoring the data of the space elevator.

"Major, is everything normal?"

"Very normal, there is no problem with each subsystem. Of course, if there is a problem, you can't talk to me like this now."

Amber was completely accustomed to Major Randall's speaking style. He continued to ask as if he didn't hear the second half of the sentence:

"How long will it take us to reach Lansford Port?"

"21 minutes, 36 seconds and 11 seconds."

Randall pointed to a line of numbers on the console screen.

"I set the highest manned speed, and it will pass through the Rich Spaceport and go straight to Lansford."

"21 minutes always feels like being hung in the sky as a target."

Amber frowned. You know, according to the information provided by Lieutenant Colonel Dallas, there is a federal escort detachment in orbit fighting with the Empire's remaining warships.

Although both sides tacitly let their rays avoid the space elevator, heavy metal ion jets and charged particle beams are also blind.

In case of being hit accidentally, Amber felt that she could restart.

"Don't worry, the area where they are fighting is far away and is almost blocked by the planet. They will definitely not come if they don't decide the winner."

"Okay, I'll go to the cabin area to prepare. When there are five minutes left, you will depressurize the cabin area and unlock the hatch."

Amber adjusted her posture, bent her legs and stepped on the back of the chair, then kicked her legs and left.

"Ah?! You are preparing to leave the cabin?"

Isabel turned her head with a surprised look.

"Yes, there must be imperial guards in the docking area. I will sneak in from other places first to attract their attention~"

Amber, floating in the air, looked at the female spy calmly.

"Don't worry, I've done a lot of this work."

I really think the progress is too slow. You can consider keeping it for a few days, just don't let it die~

The first volume is about to end. I don't think the ending of this volume is a good article. I can only say that the protagonist has completed self-protection with limited resources.

You must be a little bit timid in the early stage. Only when your own strength and power are developed can you sweep across thousands of stars.
