On September 18th of Pandora's Era, Jianye's Dragon Slaying Expedition has already set off.
Compared with the Wei Keng Cluster, the repeated preparations before a war begins can often drag on for several months, and even when new situations arise, they have to prepare for an extra year or two.
Jianye's war system moves much faster, and the armed forces here maintain their external projection attributes all year round.
At Jianye Port, six Jiangfang warships ranging from 1,000 tons to 3,000 tons came out of the shipyard's warehouse. The hulls were white and had just been freshly painted. Thirty-millimeter naval guns stood on the bows and on both sides.
Many machine guns were installed.
This kind of equipment is a battleship from before the Pandora Era. It is an old ship from two hundred years ago. It was not originally used for river defense. After all, in the Pandora Era, East Asia had good security. These old ships were left over from the coast guard department of that year.
Over the years, only a few modifications have been made. First, the chimney was enlarged. The power furnace is still diesel-powered, but it may be civilian grade.
The internal warehouse for storing supplies is used to store combat mechanical beasts, while the water cannon in the front has been changed to a 30mm machine cannon. This is definitely a high-end weapon on the rolling Yangtze River.
…
On the morning of the 21st, the whistle on the mast of the leading Poyang Lake ship sounded, and all kinds of steamships on the river moved out of the waterway.
The fleet went down the river and stopped for a while in front of the Jiangyin Bastion at the end of the Yangtze River waterway. After forming a contrasting feeling of "luxury cars parked in front of the earthen courtyard", the people on the wall of the Hudi Bastion were stunned.
With his eyes on him, he rushed towards the ghostly ruins of Puhai in the southeast.
As soon as these battleships approached the city cluster of skyscrapers, they seemed to hear the roar of the overlord biome of the East China Sea. The humans on the bunker saw a large number of black creatures flying down from the city under the noon sun, heading towards the river.
The battleship pounced.
But as flames continued to erupt from the muzzles of the battleships on the river, the flying colonies thousands of meters away fell like mosquitoes that had encountered an insecticide sprayer.
These thousand-ton war weapons demonstrated enough firepower to destroy contemporary small city-states in twenty minutes.
The 30mm artillery flashed for a full twenty minutes. Under this continuous shooting, the amount of artillery shells ejected was enough to rival an artillery battalion on the ground. The crossfire of six warships not only swept away the enemies in the airspace, but also
It also blew up smoke and dust from the buildings in areas on both sides of the strait that seemed to have strong life radiation.
Then the white searchlights on the battleships turned in the fog, and beams of light radiated on the river. After going down the Yangtze River, they were looking for the entrance to the Huangpu River on the south bank of the Yangtze River's outlet.
After entering the Huangpu River, only the 1,000-ton Taihe river defense ship was allowed to enter.
…
In the Puhai ruins area, after a hundred years, things have changed. The once bustling waterways are filled with large shells like rocks. Such shells are often one meter wide. When opened, the flesh inside
It will open like a flower and form a huge umbrella to absorb the sun's rays.
Such unscrupulous exposure of flesh was unreasonable in the era of species before Pandora Field. A large number of small and medium-sized creatures would eat the creatures open in the shell. After all, it takes a lot of mucus to put this thing away at once.
But in the Pandora era, under the shock of the powerful community, the small species in the community were all decomposers. These large shell plants could grow calmly and bloom with greenery.
On the edge of the river, the remains of the prosperous era of mankind are now a warm nest for various creatures.
And now on the shore of Huangpu, it is a hundred meters long, square, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like a doctor's hat building. This building was once red. It is said to be a venue used by humans to display industrial achievements in the pre-Pandora era.
Now it is wrapped in a layer of fleshy airbags, and inside the building, many python-like scaly tentacles extend along the surrounding sides.
The bubbles on the building rise and fall slightly, breathing every twenty minutes and emitting a low dragon roar.
This is the regeneration area of the Tianshu Dragon's remains. The powerful apostle is currently recuperating here.
…
As humans invade deeper into this ruin with countless tentacles.
The flesh bubble seemed to emit an angry groan. This anger was erupted through the life frequency band, and could affect thousands of kilometers away, causing responses from countless life forms in Puhai.
But the sound at the scene was "crackling, puffing, puffing". If you listen to it at the scene, it is like the bubbles spurting from the septic well in the wastewater pool of the chemical plant.
As the "dragon roar" spread, all the shells in the Huangpu River quickly shrank. The originally lush, fleshy green trees sprayed a large amount of mucus in an instant, then reduced in size and shrank into the reef-like shells. This speed was as if they were being sprinkled.
Big snail with salt.
Around the "doctor's hat"-shaped building, tentacles large and small that were originally broken off from the building body began to twist like the severed tail of a gecko.
But after twisting, a head grew out of the fracture, and some of the branched tentacles turned into legs.
These small giant pythons spread into the city like cockroaches and swarmed to the lower reaches of the Huangpu River.
…
The Taipei ship, which had just sailed into the Huangpu River, was caught in a bitter battle.
The bottom of the ship was stuck, and then it was as if it was being jacked up by hundreds of jacks, and the angle of the jacks pinched the hull, causing the steel plates to make a creaking sound.
[Gooseneck barnacles, attached to the wooden hull, are like long fleshy tentacles, but the top is a hard shell,]
In the Pandora era, this species was incorporated into the Destroyer Dragon community, implanted with neurons, and used the life field to supply energy to make it huge.
Now these giant barnacles that can hold up the Taipei ship underwater are one meter in diameter, and the sharp calcium tops, after pressing against the steel plate, immediately secrete colloid and calcium substances, sticking to the bottom of the ship.
.
The huge battleship is about to be locked to death by the creatures in the waterway.
In this critical moment.
Poof, five water-type war beasts jumped into the water. As the underwater explosion flashed, the stuck warship became loose.
The explosives the size of grenades caused the wrist strap below to break. The military attachés in white navy uniforms in the fleet cabin breathed a sigh of relief as they shook.
At 11:40 noon, the Taixian ship, which had restored its freedom of navigation, did not continue to move forward.
Instead, it docked on the spot beside the Huangpu River. The navigation ahead was too risky, and the captain believed that continuing to move forward would result in loss of the ship.
The thousand-ton diesel-powered warship is now a very important asset of Jianye.
Over the years, every steel plate of this battleship was produced through repeated processing at the Jianye Iron and Steel Plant.
Although this is the era of mechanical war beasts, battleships are still the most important delivery platform.
Unlike in anime stories, aircraft carriers, battleships, and armored divisions are killed casually. In a state where industrial productivity has been lost, advanced weapons platforms will be completely lost if one is destroyed.
The Taihu Fleet docked on the spot. After putting down the combatants from Jianye and the Five Color Alliance, they turned around and drove out of the Huangpu River. Another group of people will be sent over half an hour later. This warship will serve as a bus between the two places.
Material transportation.
And the next section of the journey, which is still more than ten kilometers away, requires the trainers to sail.
Qiu Mengfei rode on his combat mechanical beast, looking at the winding river ahead, the dark buildings on both sides, the broken bridge, and the flashing red light on the horizon, he gave instructions to his partners (mechanical beasts)
Order.
At the same time, on the other side of the river from Qiu Mengfei, Su Lingshuang also led the mechanical formation of her training team and issued a killing order to the giant python creature that sprang out in front.
The mechanical war beast has the discipline and obedience capabilities that exceed those of a police dog in the 21st century.
This alone is quite rare and valuable. It is a very important military material. Did you know that the lighthouse country that is most concerned about human rights can throw away armored vehicles and weapons when it withdraws its troops? The military dogs that it feeds are given priority to be packed away.
In modern times, they wear heavy armor and carry thermal weapons, which are powerful weapons in urban street fighting.
Although Wei Keng's early development focus was on communications, detection, firepower, and mechanical transportation, in recent years, it has also begun to pay attention to the mechanized modification of giant cats.
But judging from the current situation, the city-states of Jianye and the Five Color Alliance have the strongest technical level in this area.
The combat team, composed entirely of master trainers, took half an hour to complete the control of the eight commanding heights on both sides of Huangpu. By setting off fireworks and firecrackers at intervals, they completed the survey and mapping of the area with the thickest clouds and fog in the south.
.
In fact, when this combat team deployed in the city, they found that the task was not difficult.
The place where the battleship ran aground was actually only 12 kilometers away from the building where the Tianshu Long was located, and only 15 kilometers including the curve of the Huangpu River.
The instructor who led the team was Song Heng (King of Heaven). After sending a flying mechanical beast to review the situation, he ordered the missile unit to calibrate.
The 3,000-ton Poyang Lake stopped sideways on the bank of the Yangtze River, then used a robotic arm to move the missile out and launched it from the launcher.
This large flying monkey, carrying a missile with a 75-kilogram nuclear warhead, fell towards the life radiation stronghold in the Puhai area.
A few dozen seconds later, another mushroom cloud appeared in front of that bloody pustule!
This is the second time that the remnant of Tianshu Long has been bombed by nuclear weapons!
[On September 21st, when the first batch of temporary observation stations were completed, the distant wail of the Tianshu dragon community that Wei Keng heard in Shanghuai was this bombing]
Four hours after the explosion.
The trainer team onboard the Taihu ship sailed along the river to three kilometers away from the nuclear explosion site.
At this time, the smoke and dust above the nuclear explosion site had dispersed along with a batch of mud rain, but the front was still emitting radiation that caused burning pain all over the body.
The biological collection team dispatched by the Taihu ship wore protective suits with a lead layer, commanded the beasts of burden, and carried the collection tubes on their backs into the nuclear explosion center.
Because according to intelligence, there are some squirming flesh and blood in some collapsed subway depressions on the edge of the nuclear explosion crater. This flesh and blood is good material for the original body of the mechanical beast, and it is urgent for scientists to collect it.
Su Lingshuang and Qiu Mengfei have left this collection work. They are now looking at the city from the top of the building as the clouds and mist dissipate.
At this time, the city was full of fleeing creatures, looking like troubled times.
But Su Lingshuang stared at these creatures running towards the east ocean, her brows furrowed.
Qiu Mengfei, who was on the same building, saw the girl in the north looking at the fleeing creatures below like a sculpture, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
Su Lingshuang said slowly: "There is a big problem! We haven't eliminated the Tianshu Dragon yet."
Qiu Mengfei said: "The Tianshu Dragon cannot be completely eliminated. It depends on the formation of the East China Sea community. It cannot be completely eliminated."
Su Lingshuang: "I'm not talking about complete annihilation, but the node annihilation this time. If the current node of Tianshu Long is the last big node at present, then these community individuals should disperse and flee, and then gather in the surrounding area
They fought each other and gathered local nodes, but now they are united and fleeing towards the East China Sea."
Qiu Mengfei followed his finger and looked towards the east, his expression became solemn: "There is a third node."
Su Lingshuang: "The Tianshu Long may have multiple nodes. Previously, it was the strongest in Bohai Bay, followed by Puhai. Now after the first two are destroyed, it will be the third one."
Su Lingshuang's guess was correct. In the battle of the East China Sea, the Tianshu Dragon was directly beaten into four pieces by the sulfur-iron Xuanwu.
Two of the strongest sections escaped into Bohai Bay and Puhai City respectively, while the most severely damaged section was lingering on Dajuan Island, and the other section escaped to the "Sea of Whales".
However, with the impact of two nuclear bombs, more than half of its carbon-based material body has been wiped out. The nodes of this generation of Celestial Destroyer Dragons have indeed been almost wiped out.
The premise is, don’t seek death!
At 18:23 on the 21st, the evening sunset shone on the rows of buildings, and the orange-red light reflected on the river, giving the place a slight warmth.
The expedition team that built Ye City, the Taihu ship, was loaded with six large jars of flesh and blood collected from the nuclear explosion site.
In these two-meter-high cans of transparent nutrient solution, the flesh and blood move as flexibly as an octopus.
Such vitality is still very consistent with the ecological energy of the genes of the natural ecological community, which makes the accompanying researchers very happy. These flesh and blood can be tuned into advanced mechanical beasts with unlimited potential.
In the past, regional overlords were used, and at most they were the node flesh and blood of the regional overlord, but now, for the first time, apostle-level node flesh is available.
…
On both sides of the Yangtze River, a large number of creatures are still dispersing eastward, which makes the people on the battleship feel relaxed as if they can see the blue sky through the clouds.
But no one noticed that those fleeing in the city were all large individuals over one meter in size.
In the building and in the rubble, those rat-like creatures passed by the Taihu ship. After gradually moving away, they came out and stood on the heights of the rubble, watching the departing warship eagerly.
If Wei Keng were here, he could tell that the life frequency band emitted by the battleship equipped with the flesh and blood of the Tianshu Dragon was similar to the call of the queen of the mine nest to her children.
