Chapter 694: Red Deadly Agent (7)
The black scales all over the body seemed to lose all their strength at this moment, and became quiet. They clung to Kasia's body, like pieces of black iron plate armor, all welded to the body. Under the cold white moonlight, a bright dark brilliance was emitted for the first time. The heavy blow a few minutes ago didn't seem to affect them much. The rough surface looks smoother, and it becomes a beautiful work of art that the craftsmen carefully polished and lacquered piece by piece, making it even more delicate and beautiful.
Starting at Kasia's head, the black scales began to slow down and disappear. Perhaps after all, it is the lack of Kasia's own foundation and strength, and it has never been easy to maintain their form.
The thinning head first changed back to its original form, and the moment the sharp body spikes disappeared, Kasia felt the cold of the night wind. Of course, along with the cold, there was a growing pain all over the body.
"Time is totally enough. Kasia's lips moved, and she muttered to herself, though the voice never came out of her throat from beginning to end.
The pace became more difficult after that, the armor body was half-crouched, more and more steam was poured into the power pipes and valve groups, and the vibrations of the mechanical arm under the feet became more frequent. It wanted to lift up and drop Kasia, who was standing on it, but the entire body's power system was damaged to varying degrees under the huge energy of the Hui tube just now, and the difference machine stopped completely. After the reboot, there are too many mechanisms in it that need the energy brought by steam and electricity, and the load working state of the super-vapor compression device has been automatically locked after the differential machine is restarted. It was impossible for Ovilla to once again activate its critical state, regardless of the extent of the damage.
Kicking the putter next to him to the bottom, the pressure numbers displayed didn't make Oviria happy at all. She took off the various sensing devices she was wearing, pressed a button on the control panel, pulled out her pistol, and kicked it again on the bulletproof glass in front of her.
There was only a "knock" sound, and the movable mechanism of this glass seemed to have lost its due effect under the action of the current just now. Ovilla's face became even more ugly, and she looked at the part of the glass embedded in the body, which was originally a pile of shock-absorbing rubber pads to prevent the vibration of the body from destroying the bulletproof glass. But at this moment, the rubber mat is gone, replaced by a molten and cooled metal liquid, completely locking the only part of the cab that can be opened.
"Is the steel around the cage melted down a bit? Ovilla judged. The cab, as well as the differential machine and the auxiliary mechanism that can be regarded as the core part, are surrounded by a circular network cover that prevents current penetration. A necessary protective mechanism for Warframes that can be reactivated after an electrocuted attack, providing basic combat and escape capabilities. Because against steel machines, in addition to various pneumatic weapons, according to their characteristics, electricity has always been their natural enemy. It's just that the power in the glow tube is comparable to thunder in a rainstorm, and the protective measures that come with the battle armor are far inferior to those of the airship. And at the beginning of the design, the designer did not think that the enemy would use the energy of a radiant tube against a warframe machine.
The value of the two is never equal. Perhaps when the Warframe is first designed and added to use, it will have more value than the Radiant Tube. Because of the initial investment in research and development, as well as the industrial level of that era and the comprehensive cost of manufacturing some precision parts. But in the current period, for the Imperial military and the Quartet forces, the technology that has been precipitated for hundreds of years, as well as the increasingly cheap steel and basic alloys, have made the warframe an assembly line of production. Of course, the protected adaptation differential machine, as well as various auxiliary facilities, such as temperature sensing devices and ultra-vapor compression devices, are indeed not small. It's just that they can all be reused to a large extent, and there are too many obstacles to bypass if you want to destroy them.
For some reason, panic began to take over Ovilla's body. She didn't know where this mood came from, this armor was a product of the family made just for her, and the protection of the cab could even resist the attack of the triangular combination barrel that came with the lower body for a long time.
Kasia, who had not looked at him at all, had no weapons left except for a pair of tattered pants. I am indeed in an absolutely safe position, as long as I don't go out to drive. Ovilla had such thoughts, but the other party's actions had always been unexpected. At first, the scaly state had already surprised her, and then the subsequent breath was indeed an attack that she would never have thought of. This kind of thing, even in the family, with her current status, has never had any contact. She was sure that there were no errors in the information she had obtained, and that the man was still in the early stages of the second stage of the operation. The reason can only be attributed to the name of genius given by the military school, and smart people don't seem to do anything without purpose except for some special habits. Ovilla believes that this is the case with Cassia now.
Putting aside the growing confusion in his head, Ovilla stopped thinking about what that man was trying to do, even if his current actions had any special meaning, but what his eyes saw was definitely not wrong. As with this body, neither is going to be in good shape.
After calming down, Ovilla quickly checked the mech's condition and began to move his fingers quickly over several control boards. She took the initiative to cut off the power output of the two mechanical arms on the left fuselage, and injected all the little power of the supervapor compression device into the mechanical arm that had fallen silent due to "fire" not long ago.
The breath destroyed the other arm above it, as the molten metal fell, cooling and completely cementing its moving structure. The huge shotgun on it is also damaged by the bracket, which can no longer carry out accurate attacks, and there is also a danger that the barrel body will be bounced off. It's just that Ovilla can't think about any more situations now, and Frito's death is one of them, and she is afraid that the man will do something more than she knew and imagined.
On the mechanical arm that had stopped, the uneven alloy plates were difficult to unfold, and the platform containing the huge shotgun barrel rose up, and white smoke began to rise from the cracks between some of the burned hoses and valves. Amid the twisted and piercing sound of metal tearing, the arm began to forcibly break a large chunk of cooled molten metal, intending to point the downward sloped muzzle of the barrel towards Cassia on his left shoulder.
Ovilla had already tried his best to stop most of the functions on the body, and to supply the mechanical arm with all the power that was already insufficient. The lumps of metal were tough, and the valve on the arm opened several times in a short period of time to remove the high-pressure steam that had accumulated inside. The moving mechanism moves back and forth for a short time to accelerate the fatigue failure of the metal block. The lubrication inside was also evaporated to the point of nearing thirst, and clusters of sparks were sprayed there. The sound became even more harsh, and Ovilla also stared at the situation there, when suddenly several buttons were pressed at the same time, and steam was rapidly poured into the moving mechanism, and with a "boom" sound, the mechanical arm broke free. But twisting the metal used too much power, and before it was replenished, the arm fell and hit the ground.
A smile began to appear on his face, the most difficult step had been completed, and all that was needed now was some time to wait for the supervapor compression unit to run. After four or five seconds, Ovilla pressed the button, grasped the joystick, and began to slowly lift the arm upwards.
Cassia turned her face away, and the scales on it had disappeared to her jaw. His forehead was full of bulging veins and not much sweat. I have to admit that although I have a strong ability to endure, the more obvious pain has begun to impact my mental will and affect my movements. It's not that it can't bear it, but that the brain responds instinctively when it receives these pain signals. It may be better to think that the instinctive selfishness that will eventually do everything in its power to protect itself from survival is one of the basic attributes of any living thing - to seek advantage and avoid harm.
The military academy has always referred to its students as the steel killing machines of the future empire, and it now seems that this is indeed a vivid metaphor, at least in the word "machine". After the operation, the body seems to be unconsciously fitted with something like a stroke locking mechanism, and pain, as their absolute signal, finally begins to play an inappropriate role at this moment.
