Steel steam and flame

The speed accelerated crazily under the long flame jet. As the control signal inside was turned on, the streamlined flames expanded violently as they flew less than a hundred meters away, and the scattered impact-like fireworks exploded at a very short distance. The aerial bomb broke through the sound blockade, and the skyrocketing firelight illuminated the undissipated smoke trajectories left by the bullets that had just been hidden in the dark night.

The next moment, two aerial bombs had accurately hit the edge of the factory at the end of the open space. The darkness was instantly squeezed out by the orange-red light, and the expanding flames covered the sky layer by layer with thick black smoke. Shrapnel flew everywhere, indiscriminately penetrating the surrounding people who failed to lie down in time, and the dead grass on the ground was ignited at the same time. Under the flames that rolled up in the air, a corner of the factory nearby was blown open, and there was also a large crater with a diameter of five or six meters on the ground. The soil thrown into the air by the explosion fell like heavy rain at this time, covering the charred corpses within the damage range of the aerial bomb.

It was only then, taking advantage of the light from the flames of the aerial bomb, that Cassia and the others could really see what the armor looked like. She does not have basic beauty. In the eyes of ordinary people, she can even be described as ugly. But it is really a combination of steam power and machinery. And as one of the war machines, it does not need a beautiful appearance. Only the dull firing sound of the triangular combination barrel and the roaring explosions around it are the best proof of its own existence.

It is more than seven or eight meters tall, and the overall shape is like a human being, but the head is smaller, and it is a removable structure. You can see the large bolts below that are used to connect the imprisonment steel bars and the thickness of the arms. Perhaps except for some specific detection devices and signal generators, there won't be anything substantial there. The proportions of the body have been enlarged several times, and the main components are all there, including the miniaturized super vapor compression device, the auxiliary drive high-pressure hydraulic system, the cockpit, the differential engine for control, auxiliary facilities, and the ammunition boxes for weapon supply. ,etc.

It relies on two thick mechanical legs to support its movements, and its body is also connected to four mechanical arms of different thicknesses. It does not look like a human palm. Based on the experience accumulated in practical applications, the mechanical grasping arms that are more like those on the factory assembly line will be more in line with the use positioning of this kind of armor.

In addition to the necessary structures to support connection and drive, each robotic arm also has a huge storage space inside. Depending on the machine model, many types of offensive weapons store the weapons in their robotic arms when not in use.

The whole body is covered with light gray strong armor plates, protecting the originally dark body and some exposed steam transportation pipes. The armor plates are more than ten centimeters thick, and some important locations will be strengthened. Composite materials are used to manufacture them, as well as the lightweight properties brought about by the structure of meteorite copper, which allows them to have good defense capabilities and hardness without excessively increasing the load of the armor itself.

There is a pair of sensitive "eyes" on it, allowing Ovelia to see enemies hundreds of meters away in the dark, and accurately use weapons to carry out precise attacks. The killing effect caused by the aerial bomb explosion did not seem to satisfy her. Several armor plates on the mechanical arm moved sideways, and the retracted triangular combination barrel was exposed again. The tracer bullets and the red-hot trajectory of the bullets together rendered a bright band of light, sweeping the area where the flames had not yet extinguished. At the same time, a huge launch tube protruded from the other arm, and three high-yield artillery pieces struck it, blowing all the dozen or so people who survived the bomb explosion into pieces.

The huge body moved, and Ovelia controlled the armored machine to lift its legs and hit the road with a heavy "boom" sound. Gray lines appeared there, and the metal of the legs rubbed against the ground, causing sparks and white smoke. While admiring the effect of the distant attack, Ovelia turned the machine to search for Ye Jielin and others. Depending on the stage of surgery, that will be a more obvious sign. What this machine has is not only a ferocious firepower network that goes beyond ordinary battles, but also the various auxiliary mechanisms and detection equipment mounted on it, which are also one of its pillar functions as a war machine.

On the small head on the top of the machine body, the armor plates moved to both sides at this time, revealing an irregular cylinder covered with smooth mirror surfaces. The hexagonal mirror component was activated, and light blue lines lit up on it, and then an unusually dull sound came from it, like a regular pulse signal, but it was actually a low-frequency sound wave. The air near the cylinder was also affected, and obvious transparent ripples appeared.

After running a certain distance, Cassia first felt the low sound waves invading his body, which made him feel a little nauseous. When he looked at the protruding cylinder, the armor body with one foot on the road changed again. Several rays of red light passed through the gaps in the armor plates, flashed a few times quickly, and then disappeared again. not see.

It seems to be a very common warning light, the kind found on most detection machines. When Cassia was guessing the role of this sound wave that was so low that it could hardly be caught by hearing in time, the huge body that was still there suddenly moved when he just turned his head. The other mechanical leg was raised and landed on the road, and the machine body turned around so that it was facing them.

The arms equipped with the triangular combination gun barrel were raised towards them at the same time. The next moment the bright flames from the muzzle spurted out, the two huge mechanical legs broke away the steam smoke leaking from all parts of the body and began to operate at full power, bringing The massive machine ran at a speed completely inconsistent with its size.

The gray machine undulated on the road, covering a distance of several meters with each step. Maybe it shouldn't be called running, it would be more accurate to call it jumping. The force of its own weight and running caused every step of the body to leave cracks on the road. The broken concrete blocks were pushed open by the force and bounced around, and the ballistic line that cut through the night also undulated. However, under the powerful calculation and control of the difference engine, the ballistic trajectory was shaped like a wave, but the point of impact never changed at all, biting Cassia and others who noticed the attack.

It became extremely difficult to dodge. Those warheads had the power and speed of a machine gun, and each bullet exploded large and small shallow craters on the ground. The rotating wind carried by the bullet is more like a sniper rifle bullet. When it passes by the body, it can also cause bloody scars on the skin.

Ovelia was not satisfied with the effect of such an attack. She immediately pressed the launch button. When the two aerial bombs were stimulated and ignited, she retracted her attacking arm. At the same time, an arm on the other side of the body unfolded. As the steam pipeline inside opened, and the armor plate above the arm moved away, the platform embedded in it began to rise, driving a dark gun two to three meters long. The tube was lifted up by the bracket and set up at the front of the arm.

In a "click" sound that only Ovelia could hear, an ammunition was pushed into the barrel of the gun.
