The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

He tapped on the side of his helmet:

"Maybe they also prepared a small gift for the AI. The virtual princess dress is pretty good?"

"You think I'm right for that kind of thing?"

"No, not at all."

"That's right."

John stopped the warthog chariot, and the guards at the door greeted him immediately:

"Sir, Dr. Halsey and others are waiting for you in the preparation and recovery area."

On the survey map, this training ground is marked as "UNSC Military Restricted Zone 01478-B".But the soldiers trained here gave it another name - "Purgatory".John is very familiar with this camp. During the early training of the Spartans, a large part of the training courses were conducted here.

The field is divided into three areas: the obstacle course, the shooting range, and the prep and recovery area.In most cases, however, the preparation and recovery area acts as an emergency first aid station.During his training, John had been to this ambulance station many times and stayed there for a long time.

But now, all the hospital beds inside have been moved out, and the building looks as empty as a large auditorium.Dr. Halsey was inside, along with some UNSC officers, and an unlovable fellow, Colonel James Ackerson of ONI.

Cortana's software faltered as soon as she saw this guy, but she held it back.

The guy's personnel record is impressive.Survived three battles with the Covenant.Early in the war, he was promoted and volunteered in a dozen covert operations.In recent years, though, his focus has been more on politics than war.He has applied several times for additional funding for his Spartan III program, with the Spartan II and Thor's Hammer programs being his direct competitors.Where he failed, Quake continued to succeed, which made him do something he absolutely shouldn't have done.

That is, when John-117 tested the Thor's Hammer II armor obstacle training test course, he raised some difficulty privately——raised the "use of rubber bullets" decided by Dr. Machine guns, a floor of Lianhua heavy anti-tank mines, and a fully loaded Falcon helicopter that allows the use of missiles to the extent that Sparta was beaten to death].And the time was when the second phase of Sparta had just been summoned to Reach, and he didn't care whether it would affect the subsequent Red Flag project.

Exxon's actions were treasonous even on the most tolerant terms.But Cortana wasn't about to reveal all of this to the ONI review board.Regardless of what the Colonel did, the UNSC still needed him, and his commandos, in this war.Then Cortana hacked into the man's bank account, wired a large amount of money to the famous red-light district of Gilgamesh, and the receipt address was filled in Exon's home—the man was married at the time , is now single.

Not only that, but she entered the colonel's private e-mail box and sent an application letter to the personnel department with the subject of requesting to be transferred to the front-line area - the higher-ups immediately approved it. The battle almost came out sideways.He still doesn't know what happened, he just has a strong feeling that someone is messing with him, but there is no evidence.

Now he has been transferred back, because the higher-ups feel that the third phase of Spartan he cultivated will also need the technology of the integration department.Along with them were several senior Army officers and front-line soldiers with full combat experience, including the black-skinned Sergeant Johnson.

The things used in space warfare cannot be displayed here, so other teams will be in charge. Perhaps in the future, UNSC warships will also have reliable energy shields.

It didn't take long for the shuttle of the General Assembly to land on the tarmac outside. Oregana, who was wearing a white officer's uniform, led her team out and said with a smile on her face:

"Dr. Halsey! Nice to meet you!" She looked around—with a shrine-like mood. "It's a nice place."

While she was looking around, other people were also looking at the things that were moved from the boat with great interest——

Full boxes of equipment and ammunition are carried by soldiers wearing power armor.There are three kinds of power armor brought down, one looks very thick and heavy, the shoulder armor is surprisingly large, and four searchlights are installed on the strong breastplate, and the other looks similar to this in structure, but is bigger than this Bigger and heavier, and the last one is something else entirely.

At first glance, it looks similar to Thor's Hammer, but if you look closely, you will find that it is actually a completely different armor.It is generally dark green, and the shape of the armor reflects an excellent sense of power. It seems that this type of power armor can use most conventional weapons like Thor's Hammer (while the previous two cannot, because the hand components are too large , cannot use firearms such as MA rifles), in addition to being equipped with a small shoulder cannon and a retractable blade fixed on the left wrist.

Halsey recognized the outfit:

"This is... the armor used by soldiers at the bayonet base?"

I was on the scene at the time, and this type of armor performed very well, even above Thor's Hammer.Those soldiers wore this suit of armor and beat up the Star Alliance - Sparta can do this kind of thing too, but they fought as if they didn't care about anything, they were extremely confident, even if they were hit No relationship attitude.This confidence obviously comes from this armor.

To be honest, it will give people a sense of frustration that the equipment I researched is not as good as another piece of equipment in terms of performance, but considering that this can give my Spartans better protection and increase their chances of surviving, then This sense of frustration is not so strong.

"That's right." Oregana replied, and she brought everyone from UNSC to the temporary 'booth' that had been arranged-in fact, the equipment box was opened and placed on the shelf. "In order to show our sincerity, please let us Let's introduce our technology."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sergeant Johnson pointed to a gun that suited his taste and asked:

"That looks nice, sir." He said eagerly. "Can you tell me what it is?"

From the perspective of a bystander, UNSC lacks sufficient individual firepower and protection capabilities, so what Oregana brings is equipment that can quickly improve the combat effectiveness of UNSC infantry.This includes the most common power armor and weapons-in the eyes of soldiers who are accustomed to using MA rifles, the things brought by these aliens seem to have sufficient power.

The gun that Sergeant Johnson had his eyes on had a particularly strong sense of power.Its barrel is very thick, and the body of the gun looks as solid as a block of iron.Oregana picked it up with one hand, but the seemingly detailed wrist can easily lift this heavy weapon, which made many people look surprised:

"This is a bolter commonly used by marines. It was originally a pistol that projected small grenades. After lengthening the barrel to ensure the ballistics, they can be used for accurate shooting at medium distances. Wait, everyone can be in the shooting range Try it, we have brought enough ammunition.” She picked up a thick bullet as she spoke, “There are many types of ammunition, and this is the regular one.”

It was a bullet as thick as a thumb, and it seemed to give people the feeling of doing miracles with great force.

"This is?"

"The armor-piercing warhead designed for power armor will explode after being penetrated. The explosive equivalent is about ten grams of TNT." She touched the tip lightly. "It has been tested in the battle against the Covenant, even the Hunter I can't take a few shots."

The explosive equivalent of ten grams of TNT is not low. If it explodes in the human body, it is enough to kill people on the spot, and any race in the Star Alliance except hunters can't withstand even one shot-as long as it explodes in the body of the alien, even if it is as strong as a ghost face A big hole will also be blown out of the beast's body, and it will lose its fighting power on the spot.

As for how strong the armor-piercing ability is, it can be tested slowly later.Sergeant Johnson was looking forward to the next gun test. He took the bolt gun from Oregana with great interest, and shook it a few times in his hand:

"I'm sure everyone will like this...but it's a bit heavy." But the feeling of heaviness is just right, he thought as he glanced at the equipment rack, and suddenly saw a strange thing on it "wait ,this is?"

He grabbed the ammunition and looked at it carefully.Its warhead was something very familiar—a purple crystal.Anyone who has fought the Covenant on the front line has seen this. Countless people were hit by this crystal and died miserably.Because of its unique tracking and explosive capabilities, even more human soldiers were killed by this ammunition than by plasma.

Oregana explained:

"This is the latest ammunition we have developed. As you can see, the bullet core is a small piece of crystal, and the source is the needle bullet of the Covenant." She pointed to the warhead. "After shooting the Long Night, we I got a lot of these things, box after box. Our technicians took the mood to try it out, processed this material and made this kind of ammunition, to be honest...the performance is just like that."

"Uh……?"

"The penetration ability is not as good as the previous armor-piercing warhead, and the explosive power is also slightly weaker. The damage ability to shields and power armor is very low." After all, it is a temporary thing. I tried my best to push out the finished product quickly, but the performance can only be said to be barely enough. I don’t know how the agents in the city of fraternity are using it now.While thinking about it, Oregana said, "The only advantage is that after it explodes in the body, the wreckage left behind is a bit like that left by a needle bomb explosion, and it will also produce a lot of fragments."

Sergeant Johnson showed a puzzled expression:

"You mean it's not easy to clean the wound?"

Oregana shook her head:

"No, what we mean is, if an agent takes one of our bolters with the kind of bullets in it and shoots a Brute. Later, when the Covenant doctors investigate the body, they might feel This shot was fired by one of our own people."

(dumb face)

The only ones interested are ONI officials:

"Can you tell us more about this later?"

"Of course you can, but you must be very careful when sending agents to the Star Alliance. We will talk about this later." Oregana raised another gun while speaking.This heavy gun is as light as a cat teaser in her hand. "This is the main purpose of our visit today, and it is also one of the weapons we most want to recommend to UNSC."

"A normal person can't use such a big weapon, right?" Sergeant Johnson tapped John-117's shoulder armor with the barrel of his bolter. Big, obviously you can use a heavier and more powerful weapon, and you don’t need to use the MA rifle with the marines. Now there is finally a weapon that is more suitable for your strength. Sir, tell me what it is called?"

"C-14 'Penetrator' Electromagnetic Acceleration Rifle."

————————————————————————

Chapter 1042 Chapter 80: When looking at the problem, you must see the essence (claw)

In the combat records, it can be seen that Oregana uses this weapon more than once, but her usage is very violent. This weapon is not only a gun in her hand, but also a melee weapon - by firmly installing With the large broad-bladed bayonet on top, she cut through a large number of Covenant soldiers before they could get away, as if they were just a bunch of running vegetables.

Although her act of collecting heads afterwards was disturbing, the polite behavior and soft and decent speech formed a great contrast between the dialogue and negotiation afterwards, which made ONI's intelligence analysts completely at a loss as to how to proceed from this aspect. Speculate on the culture and customs of the Concord.Then this group of people sprayed ONI Commander-in-Chief Admiral Margaret Oranda Palangowski...

It took a budget of hundreds of millions to figure out the social level of the Star Alliance, and nothing else was analyzed. Now that they are in front of you, you still can’t analyze them?If ONI does not keep it secret, everyone will criticize you for wasting tax money!

After being scolded, the intelligence analysts can only go through the formal way, that is, to learn about the Ministry of Unity and related forces from the relevant official documents provided by the Ministry of Unity.The conclusion reached is that Concord is a rising and young alliance of civilizations, the mainstream ideological trend is pro-xenophobia, but it has a strong military power and ethnic diversity 'like the Covenant'.

'I don't know if this is lying to me, how could there be such a lovable alien? The intelligence personnel who have dealt with the Star Alliance all the year round showed an incredible expression when they saw the introduction of the Katari Empire, and then handed over a photo next to it—it was at the end of the battle on the ring belt, Tartaros’s Squad Commander Monica taking off her helmet 'Wow...'

When interstellar civilizations just started to communicate, most of them will be accompanied by various cultural shocks, no matter good or bad, in short, they will shock rationality from various angles...

In front of everyone, Oregana picked up the gun—still in a very relaxed manner, and even turned the gun twice with one hand in a shooting posture.It feels as if this guy only needs to put on a posture of stretching his pectoralis major, and the bulging muscles will explode the uniform he is wearing now. The abdominal muscles of six rooms, one living room and one kitchen are like Mount Everest. The head muscles, the pectoralis major muscles, and the thigh muscles can scare the child so much that he can't cry. The body volume has expanded by about twice, but the head remains the same...

It's an amazing biological modification technology. It is quite a technical difficulty to increase the strength while keeping the body shape unchanged. The layman watches the excitement and the expert sees the doorway. Only Halsey and a few Spartan warriors are aware of the inside of this guy's body. There may be a lot of amazing technology hidden.

After seeing that all eyes were on her, Oregana patted the gun body and said:

"This is an electromagnetic rifle designed by the Tyrann Empire in the Koprulu sector. It has a caliber of 8 mm and uses 140 rounds of ammunition. It can penetrate [-] mm of armor plate - the armor specification is from the Tyrann Empire, and its armor performance is in the You can see it in the brochure that will be sent to you later. You can compare it with the UNSC armor to calculate the comparison result or shoot it directly to try it out. Fully automatic shooting can fire [-] rounds per second. Tyrannian Empire Soldiers have used them to set foot on the cruelest battlefields, with good power and continuous firing performance, easy maintenance, low cost, suitable for a large number of equipment, and can be equipped with additional external pendants.”

A Spartan warrior came over, that was Emir-A239 of the third phase of Sparta, Oregana had seen this powerful warrior when she was at the bayonet base - he was very good at melee combat, and the shoulders of the power armor were also A curved combat dagger hangs at all times.He picked up another C-14 on the shelf, fiddled with it, and said with a smile:

"Like a bayonet?"

"That's right," Oregana replied, "but the only problem is..."

She handed the rifle to a nearby Marine, Corporal Albin Daniel:

"Can you take us to the shooting range?"

The soldier looked very happy—any frontline soldier would love a more powerful weapon—but the expression on his face changed slightly as he picked up the gun.

This may not be a very suitable weapon for ordinary people to use. It is too heavy, which reminds me of the M247 heavy machine gun I have been using.This is a machine gun widely used on UNSC bases and most important priority protection sites. In its default configuration, the machine gun is mounted on a tripod with a shield and ammo box fixed on its central axis.While the heavy barrel points forward, the firing mechanism and trigger section of the weapon are located at the rear.It can be detached from the tripod and carried around if necessary, but only the strongest soldiers can do this kind of thing - there is a Spartan in the noble squad who walks around with this thing all day, but They are Spartans, and Marines can't handle this.

With an uneasy mood, he assumed a shooting posture on the shooting range, opened the insurance according to the guidance of the technicians, adjusted the shooting gear to single shot, and then made sufficient mental preparations to pull the trigger——

The sound when firing can be considered deafening, very nice, and a nice sound is a good gun (fog), but the recoil is a bit...

It was like being a recruit again, going back to training camp, picking up a rifle for the first time and being startled by the recoil for the first time.He felt that he had been hit hard on the shoulder, but fortunately he was well prepared mentally, otherwise he would be humiliated.Corporal Daniel watched the needle bullet crash into the target, pierced deeply, showing its powerful power, and imagined what it would be like for this bullet to hit the monster of the Star Alliance—the power was stronger than that of the M247 heavy machine gun. Well, a full-auto shooter is basically an automatic gun, but it's not a gun that marines can use at all.

This should be a weapon fixed on a vehicle or a fixed facility, or... for Sparta.

Corporal Daniel can only comment truthfully:

"Perhaps a good fit behind a warthog?"

Beside, Sergeant Johnson curled his lips. He didn't care about the silent expressions of officials and senior officers, and said to himself:

"It can't be used without power armor, right?" He looked at the soldiers of the Consolidation Department who came together, wearing heavy combat armor with huge shoulder armor, and said, "I think the key is not this gun, but the whole weapon system— —This big man's power armor and this gun are a set, am I right?"

As he spoke, he took the rifle from Corporal Daniel's hand and handed it to a soldier in the CMC armor.This gun should be held in the hands of this kind of power armor. A little comparison shows that there is obviously something wrong with the feeling and usage of the C-14 that Oregana held in her hand before.

"That's right." Oregana replied, "It is matched with this - the CMC-400 power combat armor also designed by the Tyrannian Empire. It can enhance the user's strength and speed, and physical strength is no longer a problem. Servo motors can Allows the wearer to dash over steep slopes, but also allows for safe landings from places where the average soldier would break a leg. There is also the CMC-660 Heavy Combat Armor, which is heavier, more durable, and comes with additional armor.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the bigger set beside her.Many people don’t know about CMC-660, but the unit wearing this armor has a famous name—Firebat.In the past, Firebat soldiers were notorious for being restless, when they were all mentally ill social reform arsonists, but today, the Firebat soldiers of the Empire are truly self-disciplined soldiers.

In the past, firebats were on the front line of fighting insects. Now that the war with the Zergs is over, the place where firebats can show their talents the most is to exterminate pirates.The plasma flamethrowers they are equipped with are quite terrifying weapons in a narrow space-the range of this ghost thing can spray 100 to [-] meters after the improvement of the constricting device. The opposite side didn't wear power armor with good enough protection, so it didn't matter if it got on.In addition, the troops of the Tyrann Empire still retain a considerable number of fire bats, because in case there is a gap that causes the dark worms to land, or to perform certain tasks on the planet where the dark worms landed, then the fire bats Bats can still fend off the smallest airdrop landing individual group charge the same way they can burn swarms of springtails.

"At the beginning of the design, this type of armor was used for the 'fire troopers'. They need to stand on the front line and use plasma flamethrowers to suppress the tsunami of insects. So it is designed to be as good as possible In order to prevent them from being burned to death by the plasma they eject, this armor also has a certain degree of protection against plasma and high temperature. I guess you need this."

Halsey looked at these two different power armors, and basically had an idea in his mind.Her attention left these two armors that looked thick and strong, and began to drift to the third one, which was the green armor that was somewhat similar to Thor's Hammer armor—that armor backpack looked so small, this It means that the core power technology of the other party is very good. While making the power source so small, it can also support an energy shield with strong protective capabilities. If the technology inside can be obtained, it can be used for further strengthening Own Thor's Hammer.

Exxon looked at Halsey's expression out of the corner of his eye, and said with a sigh on the surface, but in fact it was sarcasm:

"If that's the case, everyone can be a Spartan."

But Halsey was looking at Elite Guard A and John 0117 next to him, his expression was like looking at his son's mother.John-117 is receiving Dr. Hayden's special plasma rifle from the elite guard:

"Won't this overheat?"

"The waste heat of shooting will be collected, and when it accumulates enough, it will be released at a manually selected time—it's like a shot, a high-temperature shot." The elite guard was a young girl, and on the left shoulder armor was written [Na 迴] Two Chinese characters, a large horned skull and a small horned skull on the right shoulder armor, which means that she has killed eleven heavy demons "If you often fight in a large number of enemies, you will Love this."

"Sounds really good!"

"The original model had to be powered by a battery pack, but the current model can be connected to the armor through a special interface and powered by a power furnace, which greatly extends the battery life."

"The Covenant should see this."

Emile-A239 held a Nova Knife in his hand and gently weighed it.

No one cared what Exxon said—even the Spartans he bred himself.The only thing she cared about was Oregana. She heard the words of this middle-aged man with a bad face, as if there was something wrong with his emotions, which made her feel a little distressed-it's not a joke to say this at a time like this thing?If there is any personal conflict and then go to quarrel after it is over, can this person not know the occasion?

It's no wonder that with such reckless behavior regardless of the occasion, it's no wonder that there is something wrong with the emotional aspect on his face. (malicious)

But Oregana is a person who distinguishes the situation very well, she explained calmly:
