From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 14 Raid on the Core Communications Room (Please Read! Please Bookmark!)

In space, the Eighth Expeditionary Strike Group of the Star Dragon Empire launched an attack with absolute advantage.

Amber and his team at the Yasin Base also reached the vicinity of the core communication room.

Amber glanced at the time on the HUD and it was already 15:44.

According to the "script", the Imperial Fleet should have launched an attack.

And the news of the attack on the garrison fleet will be transmitted to the ground soon.

So Amber clearly saw that Margaret and another Imperial spy who came to join them had obvious anxiety on their faces.

After all, if the federal army on the ground reacts, it will be difficult to launch a surprise attack.

The core communication room is located in the central part of the entire communication center.

To enter the core communication room, you must pass through a 30-meter-long corridor without any shelter.

At the door at the end of the corridor, there are two mobile infantrymen guarding.

Amber did not dare to stick his head out to see what the other party is equipped with.

He believed that the soldiers guarding here were definitely not as alert as those outside.

Although the specific configuration cannot be seen, Amber can probably guess that the two heavy exoskeletons guarding the door should be.

Or it should be called power armor.

After all, in this world, the core of exoskeletons and power armor is a set of adjustable skeletons.

Silicon carbide armor plates are installed on key parts, and Gauss rifles, fully automatic shotguns or grenade launchers are hung on the rails under the two arms.

This is a standard medium-sized exoskeleton configuration.

But if the skeleton is used as the basis, a high-power gas turbine and battery pack are installed.

Equipped with a fully enclosed outer armor, a weapon rack behind the shoulder, and a jet backpack.

It becomes a set of heavy power armor.

Amber has always felt that this process is a bit like the garbage guys in the card bar assembling computers.

Low configuration has low configuration gameplay, and high configuration has high configuration performance.

And according to Amber's experience in dealing with the federal army in "Starry Sky".

The two at the door of the core communication room should be defensive configuration power armor.

In addition to heavy fully enclosed outer armor, gas turbines and battery packs.

They should also be connected to an external power source through cables behind them.

This is to ensure that their observation equipment and cooling devices can continue to operate.

The weapons mounted on both arms should be a combination of fully automatic shotguns + chain guns.

Maybe there is also a small electromagnetic cannon on the bracket behind the shoulder.

Such a configuration takes into account long, medium and short-range combat, and the firepower is still fierce.

The electromagnetic cannon that fires alloy piercing rods will make the other party understand what the new era "can opener" is even if it encounters other power armors that come to attack.

So a frontal attack will definitely not work.

Amber and the others must think of a more clever way to deal with these two iron cans.

And this method was quickly thought of by Amber.

Another imperial spy who came to meet Amber and Margaret was lurking in the base as a technical sergeant.

Although this position did not allow him to get any anti-armor equipment.

But some tactical gadgets can still be saved in daily lurking.

And as the only one among the three who has the ability to attack from the front.

Amber naturally also had temporary command authority.

Under his arrangement, the technical sergeant took a circuit jammer he had gathered and went to find a nearby power distribution room.

In a moment, he would create a destructive circuit overload.

Not only would it shut down the lighting equipment of the entire building and render the circuit protection device ineffective.

It would also force the two power armors to disconnect the external power supply and activate their respective gas turbines and battery packs.

Perhaps because he was worried about delaying the Empire's military operations, the spy disguised as a technical sergeant acted quickly.

Amber, who was already prepared, did not wait long before he got the opportunity to launch an attack.

With a "click" sound of circuit overload, the sound of automatic tripping sounded.

The lights of the entire building went out in an instant.

Although the backup circuit was immediately connected in the next second, it only lasted for less than two seconds before it was overloaded again.

The two power armors at the end of the corridor were almost immediately started from standby mode.

The soldier in one of the power armors immediately reminded his teammates to cut off the external cable on his back.

"Internal energy connection has been connected."

As the gentle female prompt sounded in his ear, the soldier immediately felt the vibration brought by the gas turbine unit behind him running at full power.

At the same time, as the corridor fell into darkness.

The optical observation equipment of the power armor also automatically turned on the low-light night vision mode according to the user's preset.

When the picture that appeared a little distorted after the software color supplement appeared in front of the soldier.

The message [Throwing Object Warning] also popped up on the HUD.

A black cylinder was flying towards him along the trajectory calculated by the system.

"Fuck, 30-meter straight channel, how did this thing get thrown over here?!"

After this thought came to his mind, the soldier realized that this might be a flash stun grenade.

Unfortunately, the time left for them to react was too short.

The moment before he responded, the flash stun grenade that had been added by the technical sergeant exploded.

The brightness far exceeded that of conventional flash stun grenades, causing the screen inside the power armor visor to suddenly go black.

This is after the system detects that the light level is too high, which may cause irreversible damage to the photosensitive components.

The low-light night vision component is turned off automatically.

[Warning! The light level exceeds the limit, and the low-light night vision device is temporarily turned off]

[Restarting, please wait.]

Two messages flashed on the HUD in front of him again.

But the soldier could not care about so much.

Because the vibration sensor also issued a warning at the same time, a ground target was approaching quickly.

According to the vibration data, the system determined that it was an infantry unit equipped with a light exoskeleton.

Light infantry? Head-on charge of power armor?

This absurd picture flashed through his mind, and the soldier in the power armor made a decision in a flash.

He didn't even have time to inform his companions around him, nor did he have time to switch the observation mode to conventional or thermal imaging mode.

The soldier raised his arm directly and aimed roughly in the direction where the vibration sensor detected the footsteps.

Then he pulled the trigger of the 12-gauge fully automatic shotgun.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under the push of gunpowder gas, countless steel balls covered the area in front of the power armor like a steel storm.

After firing a round of five bursts with a fully automatic shotgun, the low-light night vision observation equipment of the power armor was restarted.

But in the restored vision, apart from the bullet holes spreading on the surrounding walls and the ground, there was no body that was shot into a sieve as the soldiers imagined.

At the same time, the vibration sensor also issued an alarm again.

But this time, the alarm was directed

behind them.
