"Master Chief, expect the sandstorm to occur in half an hour, and it will reach the target area in ten minutes." In the communication channel, the voice of the communicator sounded, "The ion cannon will fire five minutes after the sandstorm passes through the target area, please be careful to avoid the shelling range." ”

"Understood, my side has arrived at the predetermined safe area. Hopefully they'll be able to shoot accurately. Chen Xi checked the energy reserve of the optical camouflage, and then replied, "I don't want to be burned into ashes by the ion cannon, no matter how much output power it is, the difference is just one second or one millisecond." ”

"Rest assured, you won't have any pain in a second or a millisecond." Without waiting for the correspondent to say anything, Wang Hammer's voice was directly inserted into the communication frequency, "In fact, our side has calculated many times in the past week or so, the 25% power shot is over in just a flash, the killing range is not large, it just emphasizes the penetration, as long as you don't get too close, there will be no problem." As for accuracy, we've done it thousands of times and hit 99.9 percent, so you don't have to think too much. All you need to do is open the lid of the Sijing base with the ion cannon, get in, grab a guy who looks very advanced, and then when you leave, put that guide in place, and you won't have to worry about the rest. ”

"I've practiced this action plan ten times, and you don't need to remind me again!" Chen Xi replied angrily, "After working for so many years, I have never had such close contact with the ion cannon beam!" ”

"There are always one or two firsts in life." Wang Hammer began to talk witticisms, after working with Chen Xi a few times. After discovering that the other party is not such a stereotypical person, the relationship between the two people has improved a lot, and basically it doesn't matter if you make such a joke.

"Hell. I really should let you come and experience this experience live. Chen Xi replied viciously, but it was obvious that he was really not angry, just a little unhappy.

"When it's over, if I have time, I really want to go to the site once and collect the data from the site. After all, for me, this is a first-hand account of the low-power launch of the ion cannon. ”

"I said two. Can you get down to business? Finally, hearing the two chatting in the communication channel, someone couldn't help but open their mouths to remind the two of them. Chen Xi, you are in the enemy area now, and before the sandstorm came, your current position was easily exposed. ”

"Don't worry. Sir. Chen Xi said nonchalantly. I'm safe here, no problem. As long as the ion cannon doesn't hit me in the head. ”

Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Don't worry, the ion cannon won't hit you anywhere, your position wants to hit you because of the angle, unless the ion cannon is 100% powerful, and it has to be a few more degrees." Therefore. After the Ion Cannon is fired, you'll have to take some time to get there. So instead of worrying about whether it will be blown up by mistake. It's better to think more about how to enter Sijing's stronghold in a short period of time. ”

"It's okay, I'll just fly over."

Iron Eagle's weather forecast was still quite accurate, half an hour later, the sandstorm came as scheduled, and the sky was almost instantly turned into night by overwhelming sand, and the dense sand was flying, and the five fingers were barely visible when reaching out, and everything was shrouded in sand. According to Iron Eagle's prediction, this time the sandstorm will be extremely strong, and the area of the impact can reach hundreds of square kilometers, and the height will also reach a height of more than 3,000 meters. So in this area, nothing can be seen.

However, because the area where the sandstorm occurred was almost in the heart of the Sahara Desert, no one noticed what was happening here, not even the constellation of satellites over North Africa.

At this moment, it was as if lightning flashed through the sky, and even in the sandstorm, you could see that the sky suddenly brightened and turned blue! But people in a sandstorm can't see what's going on in the sky, and people from afar can't see it, and the clouds and sandstorms block their vision as well. Only Lin Hai and others, who have been staring at this place with drones and satellites, know what happened at that moment.

In space orbit over North Africa, a behemoth suddenly appeared from the void, a cylindrical mechanical man-made object with a length of thirty meters, which looked like a reconnaissance satellite magnified more than ten times.

As the large satellite shows its shape, the upper part of the satellite, if the umbrella is the same, slowly unfolds to the surroundings, it is an umbrella surface composed of pieces of solar panels, with the unfolding of solar panels, the lower part of the large satellite has also changed, about ten meters long The shell is evenly divided into three, revealing the tubular parts inside, and the tubular parts are slowly stretched down after the protective shell is opened, so that the original 30-meter satellite is stretched to a length of 50 meters, and all this, It's all done in less than three minutes.

After the umbrella surface was fully extended, and the tubular muzzle also stopped elongating, the parts in the center of the entire ion cannon body that were obviously energy pipelines began to glow blue, and a bright and dazzling beam of light flashed from the cannon muzzle and fell straight to the surface of the earth!

But with only half a second of duration, the launch of the ion cannon is over, and there are no more follow-up actions! The barrel began to retract, the shell began to close, and only the umbrella-shaped solar panels remained unfolded. In the next few seconds, the killing weapon, which had just launched a lethal force, once again lost its entire figure in the void, never to be found again.

At the same time, where the beam fell, there was no sand still flying in the air in the area covered by the sandstorm. The beam of the ion cannon was forced, and an area of almost five thousand square meters was dug out in the sandstorm, in this area, the thick layer of sand has been blown away, or evaporated, revealing the top protective layer of the Sijing stronghold that was once covered underneath and is now glazed on the surface!

"Is this shot really only 25% of the power output? And also shooting through the atmosphere? Lin Hai looked at Wang Hammer dumbfounded, although he had heard many times of the name of the ground-based weapon as the main force of the global defense force. However, he didn't have any video footage of the Ion Cannon in another space when it was fired in the past, so he didn't expect it to be more powerful than he imagined.

"Well...... Wang Hammer scratched his face, his face full of embarrassment. Actually, it's the first time I've seen an ion cannon fire, and I've been trained in this world. ”

"Pretty much." Zhao Wu answered this question, he was a veteran from the beginning, and he had experienced a battlefield longer than the days when Wang Hammer came out of the training cabin, "If it is a full-power shot, the ion cannon will first release a large number of electron beams to 'soften' the atmosphere in preparation for the next attack." That would also lead to storms and other weather, after which high-energy ion beams would be launched for large-scale ground destruction. Even the clouds over the Sahara will be blown away. The ground can cover an area of several square kilometers, and a single shot can completely destroy that stronghold. It is simply impossible to cover up the shelling of that level by sandstorms. The beam of the ion cannon can be seen from hundreds of kilometers away. As for talking about the atmosphere. This time it's okay, the atmosphere is very little affected, and if the weather is at most, there may be another storm or something. Therefore, despite the very high destructive power of the rail ion cannon, this weapon has no long-term sustained effect, and has excellent safety, efficiency, and accuracy. ”

"Is it clean and reliable?" Lin Hai looked back at the secret stronghold of the Sijing people on the screen that was "blown" by the ion cannon, and thought for a while.

And when the roof of that stronghold was lifted by an ion cannon, the Chen Xi assault team that had been ambushed nearby was already in ambush. They also began to act.

Although hiding in a safe area, it was not affected by the ion cannon. But their figures were still revealed, covered by the sand that fell from the sky, and the outlines of the sand that covered their bodies. Except for Chen Xi's original camouflage system, other people's imitation optical camouflage is not capable of stealing the sand on their bodies.

However, it doesn't matter, after being bombarded by the ion cannon, Sijing people probably won't have the time to take care of those strange sand piles at this time. At this time, the stronghold was frantically launching the Wind Rider Combat Boat, and six exits appeared on the ground, and a large number of shockwave mechs were pouring out, and in a short period of time, these Sijing combat units were covering most of the space in the desert above the stronghold.

"Maybe we should have another ion cannon?" After just one glance, Lin Hai felt a little numb in his scalp.

"I don't think there's much of that." Chen Xi said flatly, "Anyway, the last two times we saw it were several times more than this time." ”

"But you're with less than ten people right now."

"Plus me, nine." Chen Xi replied, "But so what? I didn't plan to destroy that stronghold with this person, maybe it should be called a base, we just went to kidnap people. ”

"But now that this is the case, how did you get into that base?" Lin Hai asked with some suspicion, "We underestimated the reaction speed of the Sijing people and the speed of the mobilization of troops, now that base has been surrounded by their combat weapons, it is difficult for you to sneak in, if you force an assault, it is impossible, there are too many of those things on the ground." ”

"Not much, actually." Chen Xi began to get up as he spoke, patting the sand on his body, "Although there are many of them, they still can't completely block all the passages. ”

"What are you doing? Want to go in alone? Seeing Chen Xi's movements, Lin Hai understood, "Even if you go in, it's hard for you to get out, isn't it?" ”

"There's always a way. It's a big deal I'll wait another six hours for the plasma cannon to come with a second shot. ”

"It's impossible, Chen Xi." Lin Hai said clearly, "The ion cannon will not be fired a second time in the near future. We can't fire an ion cannon every time that no one else can find out. Moreover, after the first test live firing, the ion cannon needs a considerable period of time to detect, collect data and check for hidden dangers. At least in a week, it will not be possible to fire a second shot. ”

After a pause, Lin Hai said again: "In this way, you wait another hour, I will send a ground main battle force over to launch an attack on the periphery of the Sijing people's base to attract their attention, and you take this opportunity to enter." ”

"In this case, you are not afraid of being targeted by those big countries again?"

"Well, it's trivial to let others see us attacking aliens than to be found out that we have space-based weapons like ion cannons. However, due to the need to save money, the ground troops will not actually attack that base, they will only knock on the Sijing people on the periphery of the base. ”

"So how much time do I have to use?"

"The ground forces are scheduled to attack for one to two hours, but you'd better leave within an hour."

"I'll try my best. With captives, it's not so easy to move. As he spoke, Chen Xi had already begun to move forward with his eight team members, and in order to save some time, he planned to approach the defense line of the Sijing people and wait for reinforcements to arrive. (To be continued.) )
