The ground handling personnel brought by the other party were very professional.
Compared with Lin Shenxue who came from the vision and could only simply read the program self-test results from the interface, their equipment was more comprehensive.
After just a few inspections, I found something wrong.
For example, damage to load-bearing joints, high-speed evasion nozzles, some armor steel structures, power components and hand precision mechanisms, etc...
On the surface, all indicators of this old machine are in good condition, and the heat dissipation structure can also work normally. But if this thing really drives out like this, it is likely that Seve will suddenly be surprised by the various environments on the sand.
"It's more serious than imagined, and this model is not advanced enough. Not to mention that you can buy a first-tier aircraft from the mercenary system, at least it must be a second-tier aircraft. If you go out with such an aircraft, it is easy for someone to Shoot it down."
Seifer shrugged nonchalantly: "The machine body is also different from the previous one. The model is older because it is still in the start-up stage and the funds on hand are relatively tight, so there is no other way."
He pointed to the arm of the machine body: "So can this weapon be assembled on the machine body?"
"It's possible... but your body is only equipped with light weapons now, isn't it? If you have never installed such a weapon, it can easily cause problems when using it..."
Seph took her evaluation report: "Not to mention the railgun, the electric whip that consumes the most energy needs to be preheated. Then wouldn't it be nice if I didn't use it?"
"It's feasible, but this will result in insufficient firepower of the mounted weapons. It's better to say that your machine itself..."
"In this case, the most we can do is look for more opportunities."
"Is it really okay? The large melee weapons used by the machine are very powerful, but it will also take longer to restore the posture."
"Of course, it's not a big problem."
Seeing how determined he was, the green-haired girl could only sigh: "No, this is the weight and various numerical changes after assembly."
Then he directed the ground crew to help complete the work of assembling the pylon. After he lowered his head to confirm the values, Seifer thought about it in his mind.
The thrust-to-weight ratio will definitely be affected. The upper limit of the output of older engines is so much, especially since the thing mounted on the left shoulder pylon is quite big.
If you hadn't seen the launching mechanism, I guess everyone would think this was some kind of live ammunition launcher, a single-shot, mirrored, and second-second sniper.
And it’s a bit unconventional to just put it on your shoulders. It's much weirder than mounting an energy launcher or multiple rockets.
The busy modification lasted from sunrise to midday, and the temperature inside the car was also rising. The ground crew had to energize themselves before they could continue working.
The green-haired girl wandered around the maintenance room for a long time and suddenly came over again: "Red Crossbow... No, guest, you have not done much maintenance on this machine since it was deployed. How about taking this opportunity to do a comprehensive maintenance?"
Cypher asked, "How much?"
She said with a smile: "The maintenance itself doesn't cost anything, but I think you are a person who cherishes weapons, equipment and subordinates very much, so I also have a special coating that is resistant to wind, sand and extreme temperatures. You can choose any color, pattern or style~ "
"Then...how much?"
The girl reported the number with a smile. After hearing this, Seve thought for a long time and suddenly went to the warehouse for a while. When he came back, he took an ore brick.
“Happy to work with!”
--
The sunlight slowly slanted, and the shadows on the endless sand dunes also appeared from scratch and spread from the narrowness, making all the shadows dizzy in the dim light.
The ground crew that had completed the work had already left. Seve crossed his arms and looked at the machine that had been spray-painted pure white in front of him. He silently lamented that in this regard, those who specialize in the field are efficient.
But now is not the time to lament. In the main control cabin, Seve told the only two people in the car to prepare to return, and finally contacted Leica to express that he was going to sail silently.
"Will the communication be transferred to the internal mode... I understand. Red Crossbow, the battle in the city is more dangerous than you think. It is recommended that self-protection be the primary goal."
Laika was quite worried. She emphasized once again that being a mercenary was not a profession where you risk your life to earn glory. She only ended the communication after Seifer said that she really would not venture into it.
However, both men knew that this commitment could easily change depending on the current situation - it was just a human matter.
The exterior painting is so weird that it is difficult to tell whether it is a front or rear mobile base at first, and it is activated when the last ray of light no longer shines.
All communications were shut down, and Seifer simulated taking a deep breath, controlling and directing the car body to draw an arc on the ground, crushing the continuously glowing sand towards the edge node city.
Only slight bumps can be felt in the car body, and the external scene is as desolate as ever. Apart from the yellow sand that gradually roars and covers the sky, there is only the sound of the car body running.
In this environment, it is easy for people to think that they are abandoned in the wilderness, and no matter how loud they shout, they will not get any response.
The car continued to run, and Cypher listened carefully. The howling wind, the rustling of sand on the armor, and the noisy radio waves were heard on the radio.
The noisy, continuous, almost noise-like radio waves formed a virtual wall that surrounded the entire area in Seve's eyes, and his car was driving in the 'wall'.
The signal shielding ability is very strong, coupled with the interference to various communication base stations, the edge node city is indeed in a situation where there is no way to seek help.
The other party's timing was very good, but what should I say - a little hasty.
The helpers who received the communication and came to assist will not arrive until tomorrow night at the earliest. Seifer and others have defeated a bunch of people before, so they can't replenish the supplies so quickly, right?
While thinking about it, Seve received a clear message in the 'wall' where almost all frequency bands were unavailable.
'This is a joint business community: I/O companies issue tasks. '
'All independent mercenaries, support and protect the edge node city until reinforcements arrive. '
'This mission will provide mercenaries with an independent mercenary license with a reward of 200,000 yuan, and the additional reward will increase based on the number of enemies killed. '
'The independent mercenary support system is automatically sent to all mercenaries. This system exists for the continuation of all mankind, and I hope you can shine. '
Seifer did not click to confirm, but just thought - the anti-interference ability of this support system is so strong.
After passing through the 'wall' and entering the control area of Edge Node City, the first thing Seve heard was not the sound of the communication gradually turning from noise to undulations.
It was a bit distant, but the sound of the wind and sand and the roar of the car body were completely passed through by the radio.
There are the sounds of shelling, the sounds of close combat bombs and rockets streaking across the windy sand, and the continuous artillery fire... Edge Node City is really in a state now.
Slightly adjusting the angle, Seifer decided to go around to the back of the battlefield and look warily towards the direction of the battlefield - strictly speaking, diagonally upward.
Two parabolic shells hit his car one after the other.
It had already been smashed down when I saw it, but either the coating had an effect or the strong wind interfered with the accuracy of the cannonballs. They shot across one after another, leaving holes and floating sand on the other side of the car body. .
At this time, the alarm in the car sounded, indicating that the bullet was near.
In Seve's eyes, the 3D graphics of the car body were drawn not far away from the landing point, and he immediately made the car body turn slightly and reduce the speed a little.
Why can others see me in such a big wind and sand? Human observation or observation tower? How many units do they have?
——It doesn’t matter.
The front armor plate of the car body was unfolded, and the 203mm main gun stretched out the barrel without fear of wind and sand. At the same time, the sighting system of the Seifer vehicle also successfully captured the dots of light spots in the desert.
Even if there is no movement before, the reaction force of the cannon will cause the sand under the car body to glow under pressure, as obvious as ripples in the sea!
