The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 179 178. Codename 'Electric Blade'

As time goes by, everything in the United Government's controlled area and its impact on other parts of the Pacific Rim continue to ferment on the Internet.

ppdc has also tried to restrict the endless discussions on the Internet about "the coalition government's response to ppdc" in the name of wartime control.

But the coalition government, which has the artificial intelligence MOSS, certainly would not allow ppdc to destroy such a good propaganda channel.

PPDC found that they seemed to have lost effective control and supervision of the Internet.

However, bad news always comes one after another. Before PPDC can figure out how to deal with "negative online public opinion", a new Kaiju invasion has arrived.

On May 2020, 5, the Kaiju code-named HC-25, the "Electric Blade", landed in Ho Chi Minh City in Southeast Asia.

The Wall of Life project had only been underway for over two months, and it was completely unable to stop the invasion of these alien behemoths.

Ppdc had no choice but to order the Broken Dome Mecha Base near the Kaiju landing point to send out giant mechas for support.

Three giant mechas, Storm Crimson, Cherno Alpha and Eureka Raider, arrived one after another and launched a siege operation against the "Electric Blade".

This was the first Kaiju invasion since the United Government entered the Pacific Rim plane.

Therefore, the United Government attached great importance to it and dispatched military observation equipment to the airspace above the battle area to observe the battle at close range.

In order to avoid causing high tension in the PPDC, the coalition government did not send out military flying vehicles such as space battleships and airships.

Only a group of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were arranged to carry out observations in conjunction with high-precision monitoring satellites and other equipment.

The first to arrive at the battlefield was the closest Storm Red Mech.

Hundreds of high-powered crane helicopters airlifted the Storm Crimson to the coastal area of ​​the city.

The Storm Crimson, weighing more than 1,700 tons, landed steadily from a height of 100 meters in the air with a performance beyond its size.

With a pure titanium core, it is currently the most powerful of the four-generation mechas in the Hunter program.

Marshal Stek also has high hopes for him.

“The power system is stable, and the alloy flywheel in the arm can be started and operated at any time.

The plasma cannon is in the charging state.

Let's start the hunt!"

Marshal Stek, who was far away in the main control center in Hong Kong, personally gave the order to attack.

Then, this pinnacle of human industrial development in the Pacific Rim began to move towards the land cities.

On the other side, the Kaiju code-named "Electric Blade" has easily broken through the fire defense line set up by the local military on the coast and is wreaking havoc in the city.

The "Electric Blade" looks like a velociraptor, and the most eye-catching feature is its two arms with sharp claws.

His skin is blue-purple all over, and the surface has many irregular cracks on the keratin, which provides him with strong defense.

The 155mm caliber heavy artillery shells used by the local military were simply unable to break through its defenses.

With a light swipe of the five or six meter long claw blade, a hundred-meter-high building in the city was instantly cut by more than twenty meters in height, like a piece of tofu.

The streets were clogged with heavy traffic. Countless citizens received official alerts and wanted to flee the city, but were stuck in place by the congested traffic.

When this alien behemoth, which was seventy or eighty meters tall and weighed more than 2,400 tons, appeared in the citizens' sight, no one held out for luck anymore. They all left the congested vehicles and ran for their lives.

The fleeing crowd on the street, the honking of vehicles and shouting successfully attracted the attention of "Electric Blade".

After a few steps, he arrived at the traffic-congested street.

"Boom boom boom~"

Explosions sounded one after another on the street, and cars were easily crushed by it.

Seeing that the "Electric Blade" had begun to cause heavy casualties, the local military, under the mobilization of PPDC, dispatched air force fighters to begin harassment operations.

One air-to-air missile after another exploded on the "Electric Blade", but it could only give the opponent a tickling feeling.

The "Electric Blade" with a rating of "Level 4" is not afraid of attacks from any conventional weapons at all.

The electric blade's giant claws kept waving in the air, trying to shoot down the "flying insects" that were annoyed it.

But obviously, purely physical attacks are unlikely to be effective against these high-speed flying fighters.

Just as the pilots turned back again, trying to continue to attract Electric Blade's attention and delay time.

A series of flashes of lightning appeared from around the giant claws waving the electric blade.

They were like an electric net, instantly covering the two fighter planes that were caught off guard.

"Boom~"

The pilots of the two fighter planes didn't even have time to parachute before they exploded into two fireballs in the air.

In shock, the remaining fighter planes immediately left the nearby airspace, climbed to high altitudes, and left the battlefield.

Without the interference of the "flying insects", the electric blade can finally turn its target back to "destroying the city".

As for why they wanted to "destroy the city", Dian Ren's limited brain capacity had no idea.

It only knew that its mission in this world was to destroy all the cities along the coast. The cities were filled with flames and thick smoke.

Just when the local military was hesitating whether to apply for a large-scale strategic weapon of mass destruction attack, the savior-like Storm Red finally arrived.

"The 'Thunder Cloud Formation' formed by the Storm Crimson's eight-blade alloy flywheel is responsible for breaking the monster's armor.

Its plasma cannon not only deals high-energy-density damage, but also has a burning property that can effectively prevent the decomposition and spread of the behemoth's toxins.

Although this method cannot completely eliminate pollution, it can minimize the pollution effect..."

Inside the forward base of the United Government Army, biological experts affiliated with the United Government are analyzing PPDC's solution to deal with the Kaiju to senior military officials.

The United Government was amazed when it first learned that the indigenous forces did not use powerful missiles to deal with the alien behemoths, but instead built giant mechas to "fight each other", ​​but it was also shocked.

However, all seemingly unreasonable behaviors are often lessons learned by the parties involved after paying a heavy price.

Monsters are fast, thick-skinned, and their blood is highly toxic. This makes it difficult for missiles to lock onto them from a distance, and even if they hit, they may not cause fatal damage to their internal structures, but only "dig holes" in the monsters. The missile's lethality is basically consumed in breaking armor. Mechas can inflict "internal injuries" on monsters through close combat.

The poison of monster blood will cause great pollution to the environment. The mecha can beat the monster to death due to internal bleeding, which can minimize the pollution compared to missiles.

It has been exactly seven years since the invasion of the Kaiju.

The damage they have caused to the earth's environment has seriously affected the normal production activities of humans in the Pacific Rim region.

The giant mecha is almost the perfect solution for Kaiju.

But the prerequisite is to be able to defeat the opponent.

The battle between the Storm Crimson and the Electric Blade below is becoming increasingly intense.

The alloy flywheel caused numerous wounds on the surface of the "Electric Blade"'s skin.

The blue-purple monster's blood, which looked very wrong, continued to ooze out and splattered on the city streets and buildings.

Once the trees and vegetation on both sides of the street are contaminated by the blue-purple blood of the monsters, they will immediately wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Storm Red's high mobility gives it great initiative in combat.

However, the "electric blade" on the opposite side is no simple stuff either. Its extremely sharp biomass claws can leave deep marks on the storm-red titanium alloy shell.

The unique "electrical grid" attack would occasionally cause damage to Storm Red's internal electronic components, causing it to briefly pause.

For a while, both sides were engaged in a life-and-death battle of "exchanging injuries for injuries".

This made Marshal Stek, who was watching the game, very anxious.

He didn't want the fourth-generation mecha Storm Crimson to repeat the mistakes of the "Dangerous Wanderer".

This is ppdc's most brilliant mecha at the moment. How could he bear to let the Storm Crimson perish together with the opposing monster?

Under Marshal Steck's repeated urging, the Cherno Alpha from the Shattered Dome Base in Vladivostok and the Eureka Raider from the Shattered Dome Base in Sydney finally arrived.

In the battle between mechas and monsters, there is naturally no need to talk about "martial ethics".

The moment the three mechas appeared on the battlefield, they launched a joint attack on the "Electric Blade".

Cherno Alpha is a typical Russian Federation-style mecha with thick skin and strong muscles.

Although it is only a first-generation mecha, its design concept and materials are already outdated today.

But as a "meat shield" in team combat, it is undoubtedly quite qualified.

The claw attacks of the "Electric Blade" could not cause fatal damage to its thick shell.

The "paralysis attack" formed by the "power grid" is even more ridiculous in Cherno Alfa's view.

The brief pause caused by the opponent was not a threat at all to Cherno Alpha, which was already slow in action.

With a "meat shield" on the front to force "attracting hatred", Storm Red can safely act as the "main output player".

The Eureka Raiders serve as battlefield assistants and support.

Once the "Electric Blade" tries to escape from Cherno Alpha's control, the Eureka Raider will use its "powered iron fist" to make the "Electric Blade" return to Cherno Alpha's "warm embrace".

With the joint efforts of the three mechas, the "Electric Blade" was hit back repeatedly.

Finally, under the strong suppression of Cherno Alpha, he was hammered into a state of immobility by the power fist of Eureka Raider.

Storm Red then used the alloy flywheel to perform a "craniotomy" on the "Electric Blade", but it was eventually killed on the spot after being bombarded by a continuous stream of plasma hand cannons.

This hand-to-hand fight between human mechas and alien monsters is so exciting that every punch hits the flesh.

It also allowed the United Government to truly witness the true power of the giant mecha.

With the various military measures prepared by the United Government against the Kaiju, it is not difficult to kill them.

The difficulty lies in how to kill them while minimizing the spread of pollution.

"Building giant mechas belonging to the United Government" has become the current focus of the United Government's work after this battle.
