Xingwu hegemony

Chapter 20 Light Armor Reconnaissance
After resting for a day to get rid of the adverse effects of stimulants on the body, and spending another day getting familiar with how to use the jetpack, Yu Fei is ready to set off with seven men.

All seven of them were equipped with new-style reconnaissance mechs, and Yu Fei also borrowed Zhi Laogui's sniper rifle, ready to fire a single shot from a distance and run away if he had the chance.

"You can borrow it, but you have to promise to return it to me in its original form!" The old ghost said with a face of reluctance, as if he was afraid that Yu Fei would sell his favorite gun on the black market.

"Look at you, it's just a borrowed gun, and it's not your wife, what about it?" Yu Fei took over the 25mm electromagnetic sniper rifle, held the light gun and threw the butt of the gun on the ground casually, making a "boom" sound With a sound, I was satisfied to see the old ghost's face contort.

The old ghost said earnestly: "Young man, you don't understand this. Guns are more important than wives. Wife may run away one day, or secretly green you. Only guns will always be loyal to you."

Yu Fei shook his head angrily: "As far as you think, you deserve to be single for the rest of your life." Then he ran out of the base with a gun in his hand without looking back.

The seven scouts are not put together, so only one person can play the role. After all, scouting is to cast a net.

Yu Fei asked seven people to go in one direction, so that eight people can cover a large search area in more than one direction. After all, Enceladus is the smallest spherical satellite of Saturn, and its diameter is only one-seventh that of the moon. The area is only about 80 square kilometers, which is about the same size as China's Qinghai Province.

Since the Predator can detect the radio communication of the human race, all eight scouts kept their radio silent. After finding the opponent's base, they used the recording function of the sight on the weapon to take pictures of the situation in the base, and then brought them back to the old ghost and Those staff officers went to analyze.

Yu Fei himself chose the due south direction, because the terrain there is more complicated, so he decided to go there himself, and as early as the last century, the space probes launched by humans from the earth discovered a very famous South Pole of Enceladus. Phenomenon - Ice Fountain, Yu Fei thought it better to take this opportunity to go and have a look, and take a couple of photos by the way, it's not a waste of time to come to this planet.

The so-called ice fountain refers to a geyser-like ice debris and water vapor eruption scene, because the surface of Enceladus is covered with a thick layer of ice, and there are liquid water and geothermal conditions under the ice layer. When these energies are released , it will emit a large amount of water vapor with ice chips in it, which can be regarded as a spectacle of ice and fire.

After activating the jetpack of the reconnaissance light armor, Yu Fei allowed himself to enter the state of jumping and gliding, that is, to adjust the thrust of the jetpack according to a certain rhythm, and then use the unfolded tail to make himself enter a state of half jumping and half gliding, that is, to jump and glide quickly. One jump makes a short flight in the air, advances to a certain distance, lands a little bit, and then jumps high with the thrust of the backpack engine.

This method is a bit like the light work in the novel, but it looks more fashionable. When there is something on the back, instead of a bright tail flame, the whole person is moving forward in the thrill of speeding.

In order to be able to enter the invisible state in time, Yu Fei disassembled the sniper rifle and put it in the backpack of the reconnaissance mech, because the sniper rifle is not like the reconnaissance light armor, which can be powered on and invisible, and it will directly expose the target when it is carried on the body.

While advancing with this rhythm of leapfrog and gliding, Yu Fei turned on the detector installed on the arm of the mecha. This is a comprehensive passive detection device that can detect heat, vibration, etc., and can be used to It can also be used for early warning of enemy situations when the line of sight cannot be fully covered.

The detector swept up a few kilometers and there was a vast expanse of whiteness and icy silence. Yu Fei had to keep one eye on the road and pay attention to the screen of the individual soldier's computer, lest he miss any movement.

After advancing from the base to the South Pole at high speed for more than 2 hours, the detection instrument finally responded, detected some vibrations, and flew forward a little, and saw silver-white pillars. Saw the ice fountain.

Due to the curvature of the satellite's ground, only the top can be seen at first, like a blooming silver flower, and then the stem, trunk and root of the flower can be seen one after another.

When he saw the whole picture of the ice fountain, Yu Fei was completely shocked. The white pillars, one hundred meters high, composed of frost and water vapor, spewed out from the ground intermittently, rushing towards the black sky, like a The silver long swords pointing directly at the sky are persistently proclaiming the crazy power from the center of the earth.

After arriving at the foot of the ice fountain, Yu Fei observed it carefully. These fountains all spewed out from the crevices in the ice. There are many more along the trend of the crevices. The high ones are hundreds of meters high, and the low ones have several floors. The building is so high.

Yu Fei guessed that there should be active and continuous geothermal energy underground in this area. The ice layer sinks under the influence of gravity and will be melted by the geothermal heat and turned into water. Swelling up, it was cooled by a thick layer of ice all the way, and when it rushed to the ground, it turned into this strange landscape.

At the end of a series of ice fountains, there is a cloud-covered valley. The water vapor and frost ejected from the ice layer have all descended into this valley with a giant mouth facing the sky, covering it year after year. It seems that the entire valley is Ethereal and beautiful like a fairyland.

"It's so beautiful." Yu Fei admired sincerely in his heart, thinking that the so-called "this scene should only exist in the sky" may be referring to this kind of place.

After admiring for a few seconds, Yu Fei raised his legs and walked into the valley. He may be the first human being to step into this valley since the formation of this planet. According to the current "Cosmic Development Convention" of the human race, he has the right to give this valley named after the valley.

"Well, go back and ask the glasses, you must give this place a good name" Yu Fei said to himself in his heart.

The valley is very deep, and some places inside are very narrow. There is thick fog everywhere, or floating ice crystal particles, which emit various colorful lights when illuminated by the sun. They will flow like water when you flick them lightly with your hands. , when he came out of the valley, Yu Fei's body was already covered with small ice particles, and he looked like a moving snow sculpture from a distance.

"It's really like the ice and snow in my hometown when I was a child." He said something in his heart, and before he could put away his thoughts about his hometown, he stopped abruptly, because the individual soldier computer displayed 1 o'clock in his direction. , the detector detected a biological response.

"Damn it..." Yu Fei immediately bent down and hid behind a large piece of frozen rock, raised his high-powered telescope to observe that direction, trying to see what triggered the detector.

But like the entrance of the valley, there are also a large number of gaps in the ice layer on the side of the mountain pass. Many intermittent ice fountains are constantly pouring out water vapor and ice crystals. These things fall back to the ground evenly, which affects even the infrared rays. , let alone observe directly with the eyes.

"We have to get closer." Yu Fei thought to himself, put everything into the back compartment of the mech, and pressed the individual computer screen to activate the stealth function of the reconnaissance mech.

After a burst of electric buzzing, the reconnaissance mecha entered the stealth state, and Yu Fei, who was surrounded by the mecha, didn't feel anything, because this kind of invisibility is a visual deception based on the principle of optics, so he can't see now. He touched his hands, feet and body, like the "invisible man" in the novel, and quietly touched towards the 1 o'clock side.

After carefully stepping over the ice crevice where water vapor spewed out, before Yu Fei could get out of the fog range, he saw two blurred figures through the ice fog.

Yu Fei stopped immediately, and lay down on the ground as if moving in slow motion in a movie, because if he moved too much in this dense fog, causing the fog to fluctuate in force, he would also expose his target.

Lying on the cold and hard ground, and crawling for more than ten minutes, he approached the position of the two vague figures just now, but when he looked up, he found that the figures had disappeared.

"Huh? Could it be dizziness?" Yu Fei thought to himself, but then he made a mistake. Even if a person can be dizzy, but the instrument can't lie, there must still be something here.

After figuring this out, Yu Fei carefully observed the ground to see if he could find any traces.

Enceladus is covered with an ice layer several thousand meters thick. Under the ice layer are the rocks and the core of the earth that really make up the planet. It took Yu Fei a lot of effort to find some footprints on the ground.

These footprints extended in one direction, Yu Fei shook off the ice crystals that fell on his body, and followed the four lines of footprints lightly. After chasing a few rocks, he saw the two figures. It should be Zealots on patrol.

The Iron Bloods are not very good at stratagems, they feel that stratagems are just a joke in the face of absolute strength, so they didn't even bother to disguise the base, right in front of the two fanatics, Yu Fei saw a lot of golden building tops, some It was still emitting light, and he couldn't help but jump wildly, knowing that there must be the base of the Predators on Enceladus.

Yu Fei quietly set a switch for the calculation. Once he detects that his heartbeat has stopped, he will immediately send his current location to the headquarters. In fact, this is what most scouts will do, because once individual actions are discovered, it is easy. Was killed on the spot.

After setting this program, even if you die, you will not die in vain. The base will know the location where you were killed, and you can also deduce that you have encountered an enemy here. In other words, you are using your life to scout.

After finishing these tasks, Yu Fei didn't need to follow those two fanatics any more. Instead, he went around in a big circle, trying to get close to the Iron-Blood clan's base and buildings from the side, but he stopped far away because he saw a Something familiar - the Photon Cannon Turret.

Yu Fei has seen this thing before on the mothership of the Iron Blood Race. It is a metal ball that can emit clusters of energy photons, suspended on an eight-claw base. This thing works automatically. Meteorites, space junk and other things encountered are placed here at this moment. Needless to say, they also know their function, which is to provide defense for the Iron-Blood base.

This thing is ground-to-air, and has a fast rate of fire. Yu Fei doesn't want to get close to it. God knows if this kind of mecha, which can deceive human vision, can fool this thing. What if it uses some other principle to locate it? The target, if he was discovered as soon as he showed his head, wouldn't it be a miserable death.

Observing the terrain from a distance, and looking at the direction and position of those ice fountains, Yu Fei had an idea in his heart, and was going to risk his life to sneak into the Iron Blood Clan's base, so as to obtain first-hand information from the enemy for the upcoming battle. intelligence information...
