Mars synchronous orbit.
Against the backdrop of two faint blue arcs, a starship slowly approached the fiery red planet.
Inside the bridge, the staff sitting in front of the computer said calmly in a clear voice.
"The orbital parameters have been corrected, entering the Mars synchronous orbit."
"All parameters are normal."
"Mission commencing, the airdrop capsule has separated successfully."
"Separation is successful, the airdrop capsule is falling steadily from the synchronous orbit."
"…"
"The route has been corrected, we can depart at any time."
Looking at the fiery red planet outside the bridge, the captain standing at the back of the bridge took a deep breath, picked up the wired walkie-talkie from the table, and ordered in a deep voice, "All units, ignite the main engine, restart!"
"Roger that."
After dropping the cabin suspended in the belly, SS Origin flew a quarter of a circle around the orbit of Mars. It only met with SS Expedition in the synchronous orbit, then the bow of the ship was aimed at the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and the nuclear fusion engine was reignited.
Propelled by the dazzling white light, the pitch-black ship was like a sharp sword piercing into the starry sky, disappearing into the endless cold night.
…
Ten thousand meters below, the fierce battle outside the colony continued to break out.
The swarm of insects continued to pounce on the Celestial Trade Marines fighting on the wall, gnawing at the colony's solid line of defense with acid and corpses. The projectiles of the electromagnetic pulse cannons raged on the battlefield, and the yellow sand buried the bloody battlefield, making all the killings confusing.
Just as the two sides fought fiercely, a black shadow fell from a height of ten thousand meters, accompanied by a fiery red light. Like a meteor from outer space, it slammed into the chaotic battlefield.
BOOM!
The steel hull made intimate contact with the earth.
The rough hard landing directly flattened a sand dune, and on the desert outside the colony, it set off a billowing milky gray haze.
The bottom of the cabin was deeply embedded into the ground, and dozens of Corruptors that were besieging the colony were crushed into pieces.
When these insects looked at the extraterrestrial visitor dumbfoundedly, the front door of the cabin collapsed, revealing the giant drill hidden behind the door.
The insects around the cabin were stunned and looked at the monster that smashed into the center of their camp. Just when one of the Corruptors reacted and tried to spit a mouthful of corrosive phlegm into the cabin, the steel behemoth parked in the cabin moved.
The roar of the engine reverberated in the thin atmosphere.
With a huge drill, a steel behemoth drove out of the cabin.
The difference between this rig and the ones in the colony was that it was more than twice the size of the little guys. The thick titanium alloy armor was attached with a layer of organic anti-corrosive material. This material was extracted from the blood vessels of Devil Worms, and it could even nullify acid that could corrode rocks!
Small-caliber rapid-fire electromagnetic cannons were installed on the top and sides of the drill rig, which could accelerate a ten-gram projectile to three times the speed of sound, more than enough to penetrate the Corruptors' armor. The top and sides of the rig were also modified with small-caliber electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons that could accelerate ten-gram projectiles to three times the speed of sound, which was more than enough to penetrate the Corruptors' keratin armor.
It was no exaggeration to say that even if it rushed into the center of the swarm, this steel beast armed to the teeth could still enter and exit the swarm unscathed.
"Digger Warrior" was the name of this steel behemoth, and it was painted on both sides with white paint.
Its function was like its name. Whether it was above or below the ground, there was no place in the desert that it couldn't go!
"What the f * ck, this thing is really big …" The soldier squatting next to Zhang Hai with a rifle couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the rig driving out of the cabin.
"What did I see? A fully armed rig? "
"Haha, Digger Warrior, this name is awesome."
It was not only this steel behemoth that arrived, but also one hundred T-4H aerospace power armors coated with anti-corrosive paint. Unlike the T-4 power armor, the barrel on the right arm of these T-4H was changed to a relatively slow, but more powerful electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon. Between the two pairs of vortex engines on the back of the armor, two bottles of oxygen tubes were installed that could last for 24 hours.
Soon, the gate of the west wall of the colony slowly opened. Armored vehicles formed an attack formation and rushed toward the cabin abandoned in the swarm of insects.
The shells fired from the Expedition bombarded the ground one after another, breaking the formation of the Corruptors that surrounded the convoy.
Just as the convoy rushed to both sides of the cabin, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and the Marines in the armored vehicles jumped out with their rifles. They gathered together in an orderly manner and formed a defensive formation according to the squad. They maintained the rhythm of firing while moving closer to the open cabin.
The "Digger Warrior" that rushed out of the cabin demonstrated its terrifying combat power in the first battle.
The screw thrusters hanging on both sides of the tires fell heavily and supported the entire vehicle. The drill that covered the entire front of the vehicle aimed diagonally downward and rotated into a vortex.
The sand was thrown more than ten meters into the air.
The entire drill vehicle was like a Devil Worm made of steel. In less than half a minute, the entire body of the drill vehicle had sunk into the ground. It dragged the engineering vehicles with the same screw thrusters and charged toward the direction where the underground Corruptors gathered.
The whole desert was like a river that had been sprinkled with lime, restlessly boiling.
The Corruptors hiding underground were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the steel behemoth. They, who were not good at digging, could only spit acid in their mouths in vain and use their claws that were not inferior to steel to clash with the ferocious drill. In the end, they were shredded into pieces by the titanium alloy drill that was stronger than steel.
The offensive on the surface suddenly slowed down.
Under the cover of the "Digger Warrior", the Marines who rushed into the cabin had finished changing their equipment. They had already simulated it countless times in the virtual reality training system and quickly adapted to the powerful new armor. They stepped out of the cabin with the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon on their right arm.
"This is the command center. Company A soldiers, your mission is to follow the Digger Warrior to Mine 071 and take back the land and glory we lost from those dirty bugs!"
"Roger!"
Zhang Hai listened to the sound of the electric current charging along his right arm, and his heart was filled with excitement.
The sleek outer shell, the thick titanium alloy heavy armour, the sudden flash of blue light when the cannon on the right arm fired, and the blood and remains of the Corruptor's body that exploded after it was shot.
This futuristic suit of armor was a direct hit to his G-spot.
With such powerful equipment, he had no doubt about the upcoming victory.
In the face of the flying acid, the Marines no longer had to hastily find cover to hide.
The same material as the blood vessels of the Devil Worm were mixed with the organic coating on their shells. Even if they were covered in acid, they didn't have to worry about being burned.
The soldiers armed to the teeth gathered behind the sand dunes on the west side of the colony, re-boarded the armored vehicles, and followed the footsteps of the Digger Warrior to Mine 071 …
