Chapter 447 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadows (Thirty-Two) Close Contact
"Is this the place?"
On the orbit 50,000 kilometers away from the Serinde Foundry, Calvin and the messenger of the Foundry Director looked down from the mechanical ark by fighter planes and orbital scanning.
On the holographic projection, Serinde was just a tiny black dot, and in the eyes of the fighter planes flying low, even if the afterburner was fully turned on, it would take 20 seconds to pass over the large forge built on the basis of the meteorite crater.
The Emperor-class Titan was here, and at this moment it was more like a sculpture made of steel, sitting quietly on the steel wall at the edge of the meteorite crater.
The fighter plane flew past at an altitude of 5,800 meters, and the figure of the giant became as big as a palm from the perspective of looking down.
But it is not small, Calvin thought to himself.
Something that can be looked down at a distance of thousands of meters and can be identified by the naked eye is a behemoth for any citizen of the empire, including the Primarch of course.
"It is here." Solan, the deputy director of the foundry, replied.
"The Yuanhuan Order has received orders and stopped all offensive actions 6 hours ago.
The target is currently stable. According to the previous test results, its alert range is about 30 kilometers. The main force has withdrawn from this range, but we are not sure whether its machine soul has obtained the authority of anti-aircraft weapons, so we can only send you here."
"Understood." Calvin interrupted Solan and boarded his exclusive airdrop cabin. The heavy airtight door was closed and locked, and the suspension above the deck lifted it and then moved it to the center of the cabin.
Solan bent and stepped back until he stopped at the edge of the deck. The bridge of the mechanical ark received the order, and the steel deck of thousands of square meters was cracked from the center.
The real-time synchronization information from the bridge direction sounded in the ears of the deputy casting supervisor, and the auspicious instrument was repeating the last calculation of the airdrop position below.
"The expected target has been locked."
"The weather variable has been successfully added, and the repeated calculation is completed."
"The error is acceptable, ready to drop."
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1, drop!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dense metal racks popped open and a large number of airdrop pods detached from the deck.
The gravity gyroscope was activated the moment it entered the vacuum environment. Under the chain reaction, the rocket booster that automatically started up slightly corrected its direction towards Heper under the guidance of the former, and then flew towards the atmosphere.
On the edge of the Serins crater, the towering giant sat quietly in the dark red rocks and steel. When golden raindrops appeared at the end of the sky, the eyes of this ancient creation flashed silver light again.
Is it coming again? How many times will it take before the end?
I just want to get a little quiet to think or recall, why don’t these insects let it go?
Then do it again... Anyway, my life has ended long ago, and this kind of battle itself can give it some short memories of the past.
The giant slowly stood up, and under the huge metal church, the battleship deck-sized head slowly raised up.
Golden double gears shone on his forehead, and in the center of the gear emblem was a silver owl spreading its wings.
God of the North Wind, this was its former name. Unfortunately, both the Mechanicus that tried to capture it and it now have forgotten this sacred name.
The weapon arrays on the shoulders and waist woke up from hibernation, and dozens of independent scanning arrays locked onto the targets in the sky one by one.
The close-in defense guns with a caliber comparable to that of the main guns of heavy tanks slowly moved up, and dense missile launch nests also flipped out from under the hidden armor.
"Gan!" Calvin, who had been maintaining a connection with the observation ship, cursed at the sight, and then grabbed the control wrench on the airdrop cabin.
However, the instinctive sense of crisis only receded slightly, and a more huge sign of danger appeared again.
In a hurry, Calvin had to observe the reading of the distance to the target on the screen in the cabin while encouraging his psychic energy to try to complete a temporary transmission without a beacon.
The jet nozzle extended from under the fiercely burning airdrop cabin, and the shuttle-shaped metal cabin that was falling at a high speed suddenly stopped. The surrounding airdrop pods instantly passed by and blocked below it, while Calvin in the cabin had given up the operation at this time, his eyes fixed on the behemoth several kilometers away through the observation port.
Boom!
Dense metal jets rose from the ground, then gathered into a river of flames and went up against the trend. The shells that were enough to tear apart the armor of the main battle tank were as dense as raindrops, so that the sound of multiple airdrop pods being destroyed was also connected.
The golden light spots in the sky were rapidly decreasing under the cold gaze of the giant spirit, and Calvin, as one of the few survivors, was counting down in the cramped cabin.
"Five... four... three... two..."
The metal wall behind him suddenly shook violently, and Calvin instinctively wanted to reach out to support it but touched nothing. The sudden influx of airflow was too violent, so he instinctively held his breath. The sound of metal being torn came slowly, and Calvin had already watched the broken armor disintegrate in the sky.
"One!" Calvin read out the last number heavily, and the psychic storm around him was already brewing.
But the metal armor at his feet could not withstand the penetration of the shells first. Calvin looked down subconsciously in the piercing pain, and then disappeared from reality with the sound of psychic energy explosion, along with the "lucky" armor-piercing shell.
Hit? But it seems that it didn't hit completely...
The giant's eyes flashed with human light as he looked up at the sky, and the abnormal energy activity on his shoulders instantly alerted him.
Level 2 Alarm! Class A Anti-Infiltration Operation Plan! Titan instantly found a solution, and the cold machine soul aimed the barrel full of destructive power at himself without any hesitation.
Buzz!
The psychic lightning was like a ray of light, tearing the calm space apart from nothing, and the silver thunder crackled to form a halo, wrapping the body of the original body and appearing from the void.
The original body, who staggered because of the injury, had just stabilized his body, and the terrifying metal jet had already followed.
Without any time to react, Calvin threw the power accumulated around him forward, and the collision sound of the psychic shield and the metal projectile suddenly sounded, and he himself had already jumped towards the magnificent building above his head.
Hiss!
After smashing several machine guns with the Imperial Truth, Calvin finally had time to stop and observe his wounds.
The boots of "Chuxin" are made of fine gold, but only half of the armor was left after being scraped by a 50mm shell with kinetic energy.
The psychic shield failed to play the buffering role it should have because the beaconless transmission tied up most of the energy. With the strength of the power armor itself, it was rare to be damaged after two shells in a row...
But Calvin was still injured. Even if it was just a scratch from the shell, the burning sensation in his feet had subsided, and the spasmodic nerves were screaming to the brain with severe pain.
The fifth metatarsal and the fourth metatarsal were severely deformed, and the nearby muscle fascia were also burned and torn.
But fortunately, his self-healing ability was already taking effect. The invalid signals transmitted by the nerves to the central nervous system were reduced by the hormones secreted by the brain, and the blood vessels on the turned-up skin and flesh also spontaneously contracted and closed.
If he was given a few more minutes, perhaps he could resume normal combat with his own healing ability alone.
But there is no if. Although the guards on the Titan had disappeared long ago, this did not delay the shooting of other close defense firepower. In fact, from the perspective of the machine spirit, the disappearance of these troublesome and weak creatures was a reason for it to shoot recklessly.
Calvin dodged the gunfire from the Titan's raised arm several times and limped towards the main entrance of the church.
Before the painkillers in the power armor took effect, he could only use the Imperial Truth in his hand to "knock open" or pry open the heavy door in front of him...
