Chapter 263 The Whole Army Sets Off
Before the officers could even ask any questions, Ouyang Nian shifted the topic to the medium-sized mechs.
"Compared to these experimental humanoid combat robots, these medium-sized mechs are the results of our exploration of next-generation weapons."
Ouyang Nian stepped forward and patted the armor on the legs of these mechs, producing a dull thud.
"These mechs have a simpler design; their external armor can be simply stacked with universal armor plates, without requiring much additional processing."
"The weapons carried by these cavalrymen are directly attached to or mounted on the arms of the machine, while the hands of the machine are industrial-grade hydraulic four-claw robotic arms that can flexibly grasp various objects."
"Its energy system is a hydrogen fuel cell with a certain degree of self-circulation capability. The battery is made of metallic hydrogen, which can significantly reduce the size of the battery while achieving a higher battery capacity."
Several officers broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, as they were familiar with metallic hydrogen, an excellent material for next-generation high-energy explosives and bomb casings, capable of releasing 10 times the energy of conventional high-energy explosives.
"However, these metallic hydrogens have all undergone passivation treatment, and the aircraft carries electromagnetic weapons and kinetic energy munitions, which greatly reduces the possibility of them detonating."
"In the current battle, it is not only the backbone of infantry and light armored forces, but can also perform logistical tasks, using its powerful carrying capacity to quickly transport large-caliber shells to designated locations."
After Wang Yangnian finished explaining the relevant data to the officers, the frigate had already returned to the vicinity of Jask port.
Subsequently, the dozen or so officers boarded a transport plane and arrived at the flagship, where they were led by Bai Zhi to the cockpit.
At this moment, a series of windows floated before Lorraine's eyes, displaying the status of various units and their mobilization speed.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Lorraine turned around and walked over with Cleveland beside her.
"Thank you all for your hard work, but the situation is urgent, so let's talk as we go."
Then, Lorraine and Cleveland introduced themselves one after the other.
"Project Fireseed, First Sequence – Lorraine".
[Relic of the Pioneers, official designation 000, AI core—Cleveland, formerly codenamed Infinity.]
The dozen or so officers exchanged glances, and two middle-aged colonels stepped forward, saluted, and introduced themselves.
"Liu Huajian, Senior Colonel, Commander of the Hongfeng Island Amphibious Medium Combined Arms Brigade."
"Zhou Wei, Colonel, Chief of Staff of Hongfeng Island Base."
Lorraine then turned around and led everyone to the captain's chair, a place surrounded by numerous screens. He then pointed to the various information displayed on them and introduced the troops being mobilized and the subsequent tactics.
After listening to Lorraine's explanation of the tactics, the two leading officers looked at Lorraine.
"Everyone, please feel free to speak."
Zhou Wei, chief of staff of the Hongfeng Island base, spoke first.
"Comrade Lorraine, is your tactic based on a distributed combat system?"
Lorraine was taken aback, then quickly recalled the characteristics of distributed warfare in her mind.
"Distributed deployment, mobile operations, collaborative control, and intelligent empowerment."
These four characteristics almost perfectly match the current tactical deployment of all troops in Lorraine.
"The results show that it is."
Zhou Wei nodded, then seriously pointed out several "weaknesses".
"On the way here, we have already reviewed the information you provided. Can this temporary, semi-permanent fortress meet the design strength and withstand the attack of medium or even large enemy war machines?"
"Secondly, since these silicon-based life forms communicate with each other via radio waves, is our communication system reliable?"
"Third, the safety of command personnel."
"If we consider the technological level before the apocalypse, this hastily assembled semi-permanent fortress would certainly not be able to reach the intended design strength."
"If a large war behemoth appears, I will initiate the evacuation procedure immediately and activate the highest level of long-range firepower."
"Second, the electromagnetic interference system has been deployed. Once activated, the system can only transmit information through optical or acoustic technologies such as lasers."
"Third, you will follow the transport ship throughout the entire operation and will not directly enter the battlefield."
Lorraine then added something.
"We now have weapons that are highly effective against conventional enemy units, but please remember to use them with caution. We are still unsure whether this will affect the nuclear-powered furnace inside the War Behemoth."
"After all, every bit of productivity we have gained now is extremely valuable."
The officers listening in unison nodded, indicating that they had no further questions.
Seeing this, Cleveland controlled two small vehicles to distribute data boards containing various information about the battle and detailed data on each unit to the officers.
"The troops will need another 3 hours and 24 minutes to assemble. You may choose to rest or review the information. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions."
After receiving the data panel, the officers followed the mechanical vehicle next to them out of the driver's cab.
Lorraine spent the three hours in occasional conversations. When the last batch of transport planes and ships set sail, Lorraine piloted his flagship, carrying the officers who had come to provide support.
Before meeting with these officers, Lorraine glanced at the intelligence system one last time.
【1.一艘硅基生物母舰将会降落在坐标：-6.096860，141.196289处，负责回收周边区域硅基生物採集的矿物。降临倒计时：24天19小时11分钟。】
[2. A ship belonging to a mining bug is approaching Earth and is expected to arrive in Earth's synchronous orbit in 60 days, 8 hours, and 24 minutes.]
[3. The base area of the orbital elevator has been discovered. Silicon-based organisms and mining worms are gathering their forces, preparing to launch a devastating attack. Countdown: 37 days and 42 hours.]
【4.坐标：-23.024132，132.648926处的巨石阵系统正在被攻击，预计11天19小时24分后弹药耗尽而毁。】
Seeing that the countdown to the destruction of the Stonehenge system was still being postponed, Lorraine finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then straightened up and welcomed the two senior officers, Liu Huajian and Zhou Wei, into the command room.
"Once we enter the working range of the electromagnetic shield, all external communications become invalid, and we are essentially fighting alone."
"Moreover, the flagship will serve as the last reserve force, only responsible for providing sufficient firepower support when the entire army is in retreat."
Liu Huajian nodded.
"We already told the guys down there, don't worry, we won't be the breakthrough point."
Lorraine didn't say anything, but gestured for the two to sit in the two frontmost positions in the command room.
"Because these electromagnetic shields work by blocking electromagnetic signals from entering and exiting, our communication system can still continue to operate."
"The situation of each squad will be reported to the flagship in real time. At the same time, there are several command aircraft working continuously at an altitude of 13,000 meters."
"You two can command the troops with confidence. I guarantee the communication delay will not exceed three milliseconds."
