A mechanical arm with a cold luster stretched forward and clamped a green crystal from the sealed vessel. At the other end, the laser emits a beam of cold light, cutting the original stone at a precise and accurate angle. A moment later, a crystal with perfect hexagonal shape appears on the manipulator. It is shining with green light. When a blue light shines in the middle of the crystal, the crystal refracts countless green beams in all directions, spreading all over the whole vessel, blooming with dazzling light.
"This is..."
When the light in the vessel converges and disappears. Merlin took off her goggles and looked at Rhodes, a scholar in charge of new energy development projects. Rhodes nodded: "as you can see, this is the new element to replace skystone. It can produce clean energy without pollution through cutting and particle acceleration. It can replace the sky stone, but its energy intensity is only about 55% of the sky stone. Therefore, after the reduction of energy, the neseres shield can only make up for the lack of purification scope by quantity. "
"These are not problems, Rhodes. With dawning city's processing technology, they can mass produce a reduced version of the purification device. " Merlin patted the scholar's thin shoulder: "sort out the relevant records and production materials, and then let adimili send them to dawn city."
"Speaking of which, the name of this new element has not been named yet."
Merlin thought about it and said in a deep voice, "call it Yasuo."
"Yasso... Hope? That's a good name The scholar whispered.
In the language of green capital, Yasuo means hope. The advent of Yasuo crystal will completely change the whole world. This kind of spar is not a natural product, but is produced by crushing, melting and synthesis of several ores. Finally, as long as it is cut into a perfect hexahedron according to the correct method, it can be used as the energy of the neseres shield.
As for the raw materials of those ores, they are not rare products, so they can be produced in large quantities. Although in terms of the consumption of ordinary industrial products, its loss is still a little big, reaching 33%. However, as a valuable energy source that can replace skystone, this loss is completely acceptable. What's more, this technology can be further improved, or other more efficient synthetic materials can be found to reduce consumption.
In a word, with yaso spar, we can at least solve the energy problem of neseres shield. It can be imagined that when this kind of purification device is no longer limited by energy, it can enter the factory assembly line for production. It won't be long before life on earth can live on the surface protected by the neseres shield, instead of hiding in underground bases or other harsh environments.
Even the earth's environment has been improved for this, thus ushering in a new era!
When she walked out of the lab, Merlin felt that the world today was totally different. But the red Duke didn't know that the crisis was approaching. When Merlin strode to the temple to tell adimili the good news, 500 kilometers away from Lvdu, a claw covered with light armor was pressing on the lichen covered with green moss.
The soft lichen let the paw sink down slightly. One guard lowered his head. After a flash of three pupils, he murmured behind him. Then only a black guard surged past it. From the sky, a black wave quietly poured into the dark green ground and continued to move in the established direction. But the guards also don't know that at their feet, the lichens all over the tundra are not natural plants, but the warning system specially set up by green.
Under the pressure of the lichens, their rhizomes vibrated very quickly. The encrypted signals are transmitted through the underground roots and quickly fed back to the intelligence room of Lvdu. The intelligence room immediately sounded a special alarm that would only appear if an intruder was found, which made the director Raven jump up.
"What's the matter?" Cried Raven.
"It seems that the monitor has found the intruder, and now the returned image is being analyzed. Well, my Lord, please look
A staff member is striking the light key of his hand with extremely fast speed. Soon, a guard appears on the main screen of the wall. Seeing these quiet and rapidly advancing biological weapons, raven almost screamed: "come on, please bring Lord Merlin."
10 Minutes later, Merlin and adimili were both in the information room. Looking at the black biological weapons in the picture, Merlin's face was heavy. Adimili looked at the Archduke and said in a deep voice, "Hermes once said that once mother wakes up, the black tide will drown the earth."
"You think this is the biological legion of that thing?" Merlin asked.
Adimili looked at the screen: "look at them carefully, Merlin. They are almost the same, and there is no communication in the whole process, which shows that they have got some kind of command. If these things are not biological weapons, please tell me what they are? ""Well, damn it. Do you know the number of them, raven? " Yelled Merlin.
Raven, the director, threw himself at the desk, waving his hands, and after a while. He raised his head and said with an ugly face: "according to the information from the monitors, the number of them is at least 30000."
"Look at these, my lords." A staff member suddenly called out.
The main screen changed again, this time in the screen is flapping wings, flying at low altitude of the red guards. There is no doubt that these red guards are the elite of the biological Legion. When Raven reported the number of thousands, Merlin even breathed heavily.
"How long before they arrive?" Asked Merlin.
"Less than 36 hours!"
"Time is pressing." Merlin looked at adimili and said, "it looks like you have to leave early. I'll let the people from the new energy development team speed up. After sorting out all the information, you will immediately take it to dawning city and tell zero the situation here. Adimili, ten hours at most. At that time, you have to leave. "
"And you?"
Merlin looked at the screen and said, "someone has to buy you time. If these guys catch up with you, our hope... No, the hope of this planet will disappear. Remember, you have to leave as fast as you can
Adimili sighed softly, but nodded.
Merlin said to Raven, "go to the other cities of the Union and let them send troops to storm fortress. If we're done, we need a second barrier to stop these black guys. "
This day, the whole green is boiling up. The army needed to be mobilized, the civilians moved and retreated, and Merlin himself sat alone in the temple. He sat on the ground and looked at the throne on which Hermes once stood. The flame fell on her knees, and Merlin sighed, "my Lord, maybe this time, I can't keep the city."
There is a wind blowing into the hall, giving a deep echo, like the sigh of Hermes.
In green city, civilians and soldiers are equally busy. The former is preparing to leave the city where he was born and grew up. The latter carries all kinds of ammunition out of the warehouse, or inspects the power mecha to ensure that they will not have any accidents during the battle. There is still more than one day to contact with the Black Legion, which is not long or short. It's just green enough to deal with it.
This is due to the green moss that has paved most of the tundra. If it is not for them, it will be too late for green to find the Black Legion.
The noise of the city continued from day to evening, and groups of civilians began to leave. Merlin pulled out an army of 500 to escort them, and adimili would follow. But before she set out, she came to the temple. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door of the hall open. When the door opened, she even had the illusion that Hermes was still sitting on the throne of the temple.
If Hermes had not left, would it be a different situation now? This question, adimili did not find trouble to pursue the answer, because the world from the end of if said.
Merlin's magnificent back is reflected in adimili's eyes. Adimili sees many things in him. The red Duke felt her coming, but he didn't look back for a moment.
"I'm going."
"I know."
"Shall we meet again? My friend Adimili whispered.
There was a smile from the corner of Merlin's mouth: "you know the answer, so why ask me. Come on, adimili. Leave here with our hope and the hope of the world. Whether it's Lord Hermes or green city, we have fulfilled the mission entrusted by the times. Even if it disappears, it is not a good thing. My Lord has foreseen this for a long time, hasn't he? "
"I see. Take care, Merlin Adimili took a deep look at Merlin to engrave his figure in her mind.
Another close friend is about to leave, adimili's heart is slightly sad. She turned, left, and went in the opposite direction to Merlin. Life on one side, death on the other!
Gradually, the noise in the green city quieted down. Civilians have left, and now only 5000 soldiers remain in Lvdu. In the evening of the next day, all the soldiers received the order to assemble. They stood in the square in front of the temple, quietly waiting for the Archduke to come.
At last Merlin moved, holding the verdict of the flame, and stood up. Put the dark red armor components on her body one by one. When she finished wearing all the armor, Merlin flashed a sharp light in her eyes and strode out to the square.
Seeing the green city soldiers standing up like javelins on the square, Merlin gave a big blow with an axe handle and said in a loud voice, "I'm very glad to see you don't shrink back, green city warriors!""Your officers should have told you all about the specific situation, so I won't repeat it. What I want to say is that this battle will be extremely hard. I don't even know how many people will survive. All I know is that we have to do everything we can, even sacrifice our lives, to leave those black guys behind. Otherwise, our people will die under their claws. "
"Since they gave us their backs, we can't let those black monsters cross the line! Tonight, we will fight to the end! "
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The soldiers of green capital raised their weapons and roared continuously.
The sky in the west finally fell into the ground, and night fell. The red sky light fell on the tundra like gauze, covering everything with a light blood light. In the basin on the surface of Ludu, there is a ring-shaped metal defensive wall, which is the artillery base of the pneumatic gun. There are rail connections between the artillery bases, which enables the pneumatic gun to move and gather fire as needed.
More than 200 Marauder powered mechas have been deployed to the ground, while the green capital fighters are located in the garrison warehouses. They can quickly enter the surface to fight when needed. Merlin stood alone on the tundra in front of the battery. His battle axe reached the ground, and the wind blew up the red cloak behind him, just like a never extinguished fire under the curtain of night.
The wind came from the front, accompanied by the night wind, and a slight vibration of the ground.
"Here we are." Merlin whispered.
Although in the vast night, the distant tundra shrouded in a dark sky, nothing can be seen. But in the intelligence room of Lvdu, the director Raven can see a large number of guards approaching through the surveillance. Raven immediately grabbed the communicator and yelled, "they're coming, they're coming! There are still 10 minutes left to go into the firing range of the pneumatic gun. "
At his warning, the base of the pneumatic gun began to move. The big iron blocks gathered behind Merlin along the tracks, the gun bases were close to each other, and the muzzle of the guns was reoriented to the distance of the tundra in the dark.
On the left and right sides, the power mecha walked out and came to Merlin's side, forming a steel defense line. More soldiers were in the garrison, waiting for the officer's orders.
At last, something flashed in the night far away. Merlin inhaled deeply and growled, "smash those bastards for me!"
"Air cannon, fire!"
"Fire!"
All of a sudden, the artillery barracks behind Merlin kept roaring. The muzzle of the pneumatic gun is slightly adjusted upward. After the air compressor accelerates the air flow, it pushes the physical live ammunition to eject from the muzzle. After passing the parabola in mid air in the throwing mode, the flames fall from the sky and fall to the tundra more than 2000 meters away.
The first shell whistling down, in the firelight, you can see the picture of several guards raising their heads, and then everything is shrouded in the firelight of the explosion. From a distance, the tundra explodes thousands of meters away, and the expanding flames continue to open, forming a blazing fire cloud! In the cloud of fire, there are a large number of fallen guards, but more biological weapons pass through the curtain of fire.
The black guards are connected end to end and advance rapidly in the mode of flywheel. They emit sharp whistling on the tundra. The flying spines plow up the ice debris and moss of the tundra, and fly forward under the continuous bombing of the green capital artillery array. The red guards fly up, their wings vibrate behind them, skim over a dozen meters, and then rush to Lvdu. So in the night sky, suddenly a red cloud appeared.
"It's a flying unit, down! Knock it down
When the garrison warehouse was opened, teams of green capital's Gunners poured out and occupied the top of the defensive wall. They raised weapons like gunpowder rifles of the old times, but shot out high-energy beams from the muzzle. Before the artillery base formation, the power mecha also raised its arm, and the mecha driver pressed down the shooting button, so the six barrel machine gun hanging on the mecha arm roared.
For a moment, countless beams of light slanted up into the sky, along with the bright chains of fire blasted out by the machine guns, into the red clouds coming from the distance. The red guards immediately spread out, and they shuttled between the beam and the line of fire flexibly, but from time to time, some guards were still hit and fell from the air.
Suddenly, the battle between the sky and the ground started at the same time, and the explosion almost lit up half of the tundra.
After the black guards on the ground advanced another kilometer, the infantry soldiers in the garrison warehouse finally came out. Each of these soldiers was carrying a heavy sword, and chief bodyguard Balmore was holding double swords. Balmore came to Merlin, his eyes fixed on the front. When the black guard advanced another 500 meters, the pneumatic gun was switched to flat fire mode.
Such a blast out, an explosion is enough to hundreds of guards involved in the fire. But the pneumatic gun array only had time to open twice. The black guard has advanced 200 meters!
"It's our turn. Work hard, boys!" Barrymore yelled at the infantry behind him.Merlin pointed to the front of the axe and yelled, "mecha, fight
Immediately, the Marauder's troops pressed down their guns, ignoring the red guards in the air and concentrating their firepower on the ground instead. Powerful machine gun barrage pressure will be in the past, powerful bullets on the flywheel, immediately blow out a huge wound on them. The guard will be shot to death in a few rounds. For a moment, the forward of the guard fell down, only a few flywheels could cross the fire net.
As Barrow's epee swung down, the roar of the infantry soldiers sounded behind him. The crowd surged from both sides of him and Merlin, and a heavy saber struck at the flywheels that crossed the fire net. Soldiers in a group of four, sword wave cut, easy to cut the guard to pieces. The marauders and air guns continued to attack the Black Legion. Under the strong firepower of these weapons, only 12 out of 10 guards could cross the firepower network.
This amount will soon be eaten by infantry soldiers.
But whether it's Baltimore or Merlin, they are quite clear that the advantage of green capital is only temporary. When the marauders and air guns run out of ammunition and don't have enough firepower to block the enemy's advance, the situation will turn around in a flash.
Besides, these black legions also have air support units, which are temporarily intercepted in the night sky hundreds of meters away. However, once approached, it will also pose a threat to the ground forces of Lvdu.
Therefore, the temporary advantage of green capital does not mean much. As Merlin foresaw, it would never be an easy fight!
At this time, the sky suddenly sounded a strange whistling. But a ball of fire swept down and smashed into the position of the infantry soldiers. In the bright flame of the explosion, at least a dozen soldiers fell to the ground. The red guards in the sky have begun to pose a threat.
