Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

"Get on the bus! Get on the bus now!"

Yakubu led his squad toward the location of the armored personnel carriers, knowing that they would be safe once they got on the vehicles.

The two sides fought for several years, and everyone is already quite familiar with these drones. Various armored vehicles and troop carriers have long been modified accordingly.

Grille armor is not a new invention; it was invented as early as World War II.

At the time, Germany was equipped with Panzerfaust, the first single-use anti-tank weapon in human history, which could be penetrated by a single infantryman from the side.

The Soviet Union welded a ring of steel wire around the outside of tanks as a targeted modification during combat. Because it looked like a dismantled wire bed frame, it was called bed frame armor.

The principle behind bed frame armor is not to add armor to the vehicle, but to disrupt the timing of detonation.

Because the Iron Fist uses a shaped charge warhead, it doesn't rely on ramming through armor, but rather on detonating at a precise distance to compress the metal liner into a high-speed metal jet that penetrates the steel plate.

The armor-piercing wires added to Soviet tanks would cause the Panzerfaust warhead to strike the wires just centimeters from the main armor, detonating prematurely. The armor-piercing jet would disperse before it could fully form, significantly reducing its penetration depth.

During the Vietnam War, the US military further developed this defense strategy. To defend against Vietnamese man-portable rockets, both M113 armored personnel carriers and various patrol boats were equipped with slats, and various outposts were also equipped with a large number of barbed wire fences.

In subsequent wars, this type of defense became more and more common due to the widespread use of man-portable rocket launchers. During the Iraq War, the US military began to equip its vehicles with more modern grilles, which completely covered the entire vehicle with a steel grille.

Eighty years have passed, and modern armor-piercing projectiles have begun to be equipped with two-stage warheads. The first stage destroys the grille, and the second stage then hits the armor. Drones have begun to wreak havoc by taking advantage of this.

Having no other option, Da Mao began equipping his vehicles with even more grilles.

Before this war, Poland also learned from their combat wisdom and installed grilles on all their vehicles. Although this was very costly, as the weight was extremely heavy and would affect the vehicle's suspension, transmission, and fuel consumption.

It can even raise the vehicle's center of gravity, making it more prone to rollover, and cause its size to increase dramatically, turning what was once a fast-moving armored personnel carrier into a behemoth that struggles to even traverse forests.

However, the threat posed by drones was too great, and Poland ultimately opted for a complete overhaul.

When Yakubu reached the highway, the platoon leader arrived with reinforcements. They had some bullets left and managed to get his squad onto several vehicles with great difficulty.

As soon as we got in the car, the driver stepped on the gas and started speeding away.

The driver cursed as he drove, "You infantrymen are all crazy! We've said enough, and you're still secretly welding things onto the vehicle! We're too slow! And our visibility is terrible!"

Yakubu didn't refute anything. He knew the driver was right; many of the grilles on the outside of these vehicles were secretly welded on by the infantrymen.

There are actually very clear standards for high-rise buildings: do not install excessive amounts; there are standard specifications for how much should be installed.

However, the soldiers below would usually secretly add more welding, believing that something was better than nothing, and would weld as much as they could.

The vehicle is now like a hedgehog, with extremely poor visibility and maneuverability, making it very difficult for the driver to operate.

They had four vehicles in total, and they were all frantically retreating, but the drones behind them were moving much faster.

Drones kept crashing into their vehicles, but thankfully the extra layers of barricades they had reinforced earlier were still effective. They silently prayed that they could push their way to the back.

Just then, the vehicle in front suddenly turned into a fireball.

Holy crap!

The driver cursed, pulled over to the side of the road, and shouted back, "Help! Someone's in!"

Yakubu slapped the driver and roared, "Keep driving! Otherwise, none of us will survive!"

The driver was usually under the direct management of the platoon leader, and instinctively wanted to object, but after hesitating for a moment, he obeyed the order, turned the steering wheel, and drove directly past the vehicle wreckage.

In just a short while, many drones had flown in front of them and then swooped down towards the front of their vehicles.

Several drones were clearly aimed at the driver's viewing window at the front of the vehicle. Although they failed and exploded prematurely upon hitting the grille, they had already destroyed a significant portion of the grille near the driver's viewing window.

Someone shouted, "Damn it, we can't come in like this! Should we go out and keep watch?"

The young soldier beside him said in a panic, "Squad leader, this isn't one of those small drones we saw before. It's huge! Our armor might not be able to withstand it!"

"Interference! How come signal interference isn't working at all?"

"It's on full blast! They seem completely unaffected!"

As they were talking, several more drones crashed into them, and the front grille was clearly unable to hold up.

Just when the people in the car were in despair, the drones around them suddenly stopped and flew away into the distance.

Several mechs were running rapidly towards them from a distance. They were covered in scale-like armor and ignored the drones flying all over the sky as they charged straight towards them.

The driver, with his sharp eyes, squinted and said, "It has a jasmine icon on it, so it's a robot. But it should at least have some defenses, right? If it just runs straight over, will it be able to pick us up?"

Yakubu said with some worry, "No mech can withstand armor-piercing rounds, right? If there are only a few, we can dodge them with our mobility. But how can we dodge dozens of them in the sky?"

If these robots fail, it'll be our turn again.

The driver asked in a panic, "What do we do? Should we turn around and not go that way?"

Yakubu made a decision in a few seconds: "Never mind, let's just drive that way! If those robots are gone, we won't be able to shake off these drones no matter which direction we run."

"Let's take a gamble! I've never seen that scale-like armor before; maybe it's Aurora's secret weapon!"

They all began to pray that the robots would give them some help.

A few seconds later, they felt much more at ease.

Because quite a few drones have already crashed directly into those robots.

The impact caused a burst of white-blue light to erupt from the scale armor. The light was much brighter than welding, but it lasted for a very short time, less than the blink of an eye. They only felt a flash before their eyes and then heard a loud bang.

The drone attack had no effect; the scale appeared to be undamaged.

As they got closer, they discovered that the attacked areas on these scales were still damaged, with small holes and black, branching patterns radiating outwards from the holes, like lightning frozen on a steel plate.

Around the hole hung tiny, solidified metal beads, with brilliant blue, purple, and gold colors appearing around them.

The scales also emitted a faint blue-purple glow.

After the drones discovered their attack had failed, they tried to turn around and attack their armored vehicles, but the robots had already joined up with the vehicles. They ran around the vehicles, using their bodies to protect them as they moved forward.

It was like a battle between spear and shield, with the drone making various maneuvers, trying to penetrate the robot's protection and bomb the car.

However, the robot's high-speed maneuverability is equally rapid; it can even jump into the air and grab the drone with its bare hands to tear it apart.

An armored infantry vehicle carrying nine people seemed to become the focus of the battlefield, with countless drones frantically gathering and launching an attack.

At that moment, a robot opened an equipment compartment with its hand and threw a small ball into the air.

Yakubu heard the robot even shout something in Chinese.

"Watch my big net defense opening move."

The metal ball was thrown high into the air, then with a bang it scattered into thin lines, directly covering the entire airspace like a large net.

Then, with a series of crackling sounds, the drones in the air burst into flames and all fell to the ground.

All the soldiers in the vehicle breathed a sigh of relief; they felt they were finally saved.
