Even the Xiaoliu quantum computer array is the size of a standard 10x10 chamber.

It can't be moved! It's simply impossible to move it!

To get them out, Andy would have to completely dismantle the ship and tear up the hundreds of meters thick foundation of the Nesting Ground above, creating a commotion that would shake the entire Furnace 7.

At that point, they will no longer face Helios, but an attack from all the forces on the planet.

"If it were the Golden Age, I could just call a Hercules heavy transport plane over and take it away."

"But now..."

There's absolutely no way to deal with it.

Hardware limitations prevent it, and the laws of physics are unforgiving.

"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore."

Take what you can first.

Once we get back, we'll boost productivity a few more levels before considering how to move these mountains.

Finally, Andy returned to the cylindrical control panel.

Xiao Liu was still asleep, and the yellow breathing light was pulsating rhythmically, indicating that the ship currently had no defensive capabilities.

The turret is locked, and the drone has lost control.

If someone were to enter at this moment, this starship, laden with treasure, would be an undefended vault.

Andy, of course, would not allow such a thing to happen.

He took out the generic network access point he had gotten from Father Zor and plugged it into the secondary interface.

His fingers flew across the portable terminal, typing code as he prepared to write a temporary "watchdog" for the ship.

This program doesn't need to be very intelligent; it only needs to do one thing: kill people.

Andy wrote an extremely rigid, yet extremely efficient, defense logic.

Unlike Xiao Liu, it won't waste time talking to the enemy, engaging in torture and playful antics; it will simply unleash all its firepower on the invaders immediately.

Compared to Xiao Liu, who likes to toy with his prey, this rigid program is actually more terrifying.

If the Helios Group thinks that the ship's silence means it's easy to bully, then they're in for a big surprise.

"It's done."

Andy unplugged the access point, turned around, and waved.

"Everyone retreat!"

The team, carrying heavy spoils, quickly retreated along the route they had come from.

As they walked out of the massive blast-proof door in Zone D, the sound of mechanical locking came from behind them.

The "watchdog" program has been launched.

In the darkness, countless red sensor lights illuminated, like the eyes of a pack of hungry wolves, staring intently at this forbidden zone.

Chapter 69 Fire the Cannons and Blast His Mother (Seeking First Subscription!)

Andy, with his special forces team laden with loot, disappeared into the intricate underground pipe network of District 9.

They left decisively, without leaving any evidence.

All that remained was an "empty ship" whose control core had been removed, yet which was armed to the teeth.

Meanwhile, dozens of kilometers away, the battle in the acid swamp had reached a fever pitch.

Although Helios Group's armored forces suffered a first round of heavy artillery bombardment and the annihilation of the motorcycle squads, Zeman, as an experienced old commander, reorganized the formation in a very short time.

Engineers drove armored bulldozers, braving sporadic artillery fire, and managed to level a road through the ruins.

The steel torrent has been restarted.

This time, Zeman learned his lesson.

He stopped launching concentrated assaults and instead deployed his troops in a highly dispersed manner.

Each Leman Rustamk was spaced more than 200 meters apart, and the infantry were spread out into skirmish lines, advancing under the alternating cover of ruins and shell craters.

Although this method of play is slow and resembles a tortoise crawl, it is extremely effective.

The accuracy of the heavy artillery fire from Bauer's side plummeted.

A 155mm grenade is not a missile after all. It is too difficult to hit such a dispersed target that is constantly making evasive maneuvers.

Most of the shells landed on the open ground; although the explosion was impressive, it had little effect.

"Press them down, press them all down!"

Zeman ordered over the command channel: "Their shells are not unlimited, they can't hold out for long against this intensity of bombardment."

"Once they get within the Lemanrus's firing range (the stone lizards that can shoot seven kilometers are gone), our tank guns can keep them firing at the head!"

Under his command, Helios's main force finally advanced to the edge of the acid swamp, only three kilometers away from the base.

Here you can already see the high concrete wall, and behind it, several chimneys belching black smoke.

"Into firing range!"

A Leman Russ tank came to a stop, its turret rotating, the dark muzzle aimed at a sentry turret on the wall.

"boom!"

A high-explosive shell was fired.

A burst of fire erupted on the wall, and half of the sentry turret and the base's high wall were blown away.

"Hit! Keep firing!"

With their first victory, Helios's morale soared.

More than a dozen tanks opened fire simultaneously, raining down shells on the base.

Although the high wall was sturdy, it could not withstand this kind of attack. Concrete fragments flew everywhere, and some sections were even completely destroyed.

However, just as Zeman thought victory was in sight and was preparing to order his infantry to charge,

"Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—"

Suddenly, a strange mechanical sound came from behind the wall.

Immediately afterwards, twenty huge black figures peeked out from behind the wall.

What is that...?

Zeman, holding the binoculars, was stunned.

He saw twenty enormous, featherless metal ostriches nimbly climbing the earthen slope inside the wall, their mechanical legs with reverse joints.

They did not take cover behind bunkers and fire like traditional self-propelled artillery.

Instead, they simply laid the long cannon barrel flat!

What the hell? !

A straight shot!

A 155mm heavy gun, firing horizontally at a distance of less than three kilometers!

In the fire control logic written by Andy, there is no need to calculate the bullet drop at this distance; you can just aim and hit exactly where you want!

"No...this is not scientific..."

Zeman's pupils dilated.

next second.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Twenty heavy cannons simultaneously unleashed their fury.

This time, it was no longer the slow, zigzag shot of before.

The shells traveled three kilometers in the instant they left the barrel, hitting the Leman Russ tanks at the very front.

At such close range, with such a large caliber, and propelled by Andy's specially made tri-component explosives.

The kinetic energy is terrifyingly high!

"when--!!!"

The first Leman Russ was hit head-on.

Although its frontal armor was very thick, it was not directly penetrated.

But the enormous impact flipped it over like a toy car, and it rolled twice on the ground before stopping. The tracks broke, and the crew inside were probably turned into mincemeat.

The second one fared even worse; a shell hit a gap in the turret ring.

"Boom!"

The entire turret was blown more than ten meters high, and the inside of the vehicle instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Horizontal firing?! Or a saturation attack?! Have they gone mad?!"

Zeman felt his worldview crumble.

Which self-propelled artillery would dare to play like this?

It's like a sniper suddenly rushing up to your face with a sniper rifle and pulling the pin on a grenade!

Although the fighting style was bizarre, it has to be said that this move was extremely ruthless.

The Iron Ostrich's high mobility allows it to crouch and move sideways immediately after firing a shot, hiding behind the wall, while Helios' tanks have to readjust their turret angles, which creates an extremely shameless "dragon cannon" firing method.

I peek out, fire a shot at you, then retreat and run away.

Call me from where I used to be.

I'll peek out from another spot and give you another shot.

"Retreat! Back up! Back up!"

Zeman cried out in despair.

In this narrow strip of land, his tank couldn't maneuver properly and became a sitting duck for the enemy's heavy artillery.

But it's not over yet.

Just as Helios's troops were thrown into disarray by this volley of fire.

"For Andy, our leader! For Starch Ball!!"

Accompanied by a deafening battle cry, a black-clad army charged out from all directions.

More than two hundred heavily armed infantrymen wearing T-9000 heavy exoskeletons!

They run incredibly fast; the hydraulic power of their exoskeletons allows them to take three or four meters with each stride.

They weren't carrying guns, but rather XPG-200 rocket launchers and CBS high-explosive crossbows.

This configuration is a nightmare for armored forces in close-quarters combat.

"Infantry cover! Infantry cover!!"

Zeman felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the group of black figures charging towards him like mad dogs.

Helios's mercenaries attempted to open fire to stop them.

The laser beam hit the group of people, but was absorbed by the thick composite armor plates, leaving only a scorch mark. Only the explosive shells could cause some effective damage, but their effect was still quite limited in the face of such a fast-moving, heavily armored force.

This is truly hopeless.

You can't break their defenses with your attacks, but they can kill you with a single shot.

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"

Hundreds of rockets and high-explosive crossbow bolts rained down from the sky.

Those Chimera troop carriers that hadn't even had time to reverse were instantly turned into burning torches.

Even the remaining Lemanrus were blasted into a panic by the intense firepower.

The side armor was penetrated, the tracks were broken, and the engine hood was blown off.
