An Unscientific Mechanic

"Have you received the coordinates?" Ian looked at the old kamikaze warrior,

"Not yet, please be patient. One cartridge." Kamikaze carefully took out a card with two fingers.

"But we've been fishing here since the end of the space battle on Harvest Star. Erjo."

"If we intervene, the Glory Interceptor Fleet may not continue to search for the ruins. How could they be doing archaeology in the Arcadia colony like this. Dongfeng." Miri shook her head.

"Hey, four. But the efficiency of the Star Alliance is too bad, right? It's been two days. They don't run, and they don't take the initiative to attack." Ian looked at the time, it has been four days...

Under the desperate resistance of the Covenant ground troops and Banshee's ground support aircraft, the UNSC had no way to push the plasma rhino tank around the shield.

"I think, I seem to be fooling around..." Kamikaze Martyr took four pieces. Arrange the cards like aaa aba aaa bb. "It should be that there is a problem with the deciphering of the ruins. We all know that the Star Alliance has almost lost its technological inheritance under the leadership of the prophets.

Including the Long Night, there are some parts of the ancient Covenant warship that we can't repair at all.

For example, one of my flagships, the Invisible Hand, nearly one-tenth of the cabins were abandoned because we had lost the corresponding repair technology, and the interior was filled with cushioning foam to contribute to the defense of the ship. "

"This doesn't conform to the development law of general civilization." Ian's mouth twitched. The luck of this guy is really good... Is it because he is still a novice?

"Ian, the opposite side has shrunk the line of defense."

"Finally here..." Ian stood up straight.

"The signal from the ground has been received, and the coordinates found by the Star Alliance in the ruins have been received.

Four thousand light-years away, in the middle of a cloud of dust on the outskirts of the Milky Way, it's the perfect hiding place. "

"Very well, send a standard reconnaissance fleet over there to confirm whether there is the target we are looking for, and if so, light up the induction."

"Understood, the scout fleet set sail."

Three thousand kilometers above Arcadia, seventeen warships of the Consolidation Department are on standby. Of course, after deploying the stealth module and optical camouflage.

"I'm more interested in taking aliens now, stealth modules, high-performance miniaturized MACs, power armor stronger than Thor's Hammer armor, and understanding our situation with the Covenant. Although many details are different, they What you said is very informative." Admiral Cole stepped forward and watched with the naked eye the Covenant cruiser that was being focused on by more than a dozen UNSC cruisers. "In many places, they are dozens or even hundreds of years more advanced than us. However, their mobile armor is not equipped with energy shields. The main battle tank used by the Phoenix Legion even uses gas turbines to increase the caliber of the joint-mounted smoothbore gun?

Their aviation units employ cosmic and atmospheric general-purpose fighters that clearly bear the characteristics of atmospheric fighters. Although their warships have a uniform shell, the actual armed configuration of each ship is different. From the point defense weapons alone, I found that there are two types of small-caliber live ammunition Gatling, three types of particle beam Gatling, two types of rapid-fire antimatter rays and rapid-fire lasers.

From this point of view, I am even more convinced that they are a pirate group than a regular army fleet. "

"Dr. Halsey, what do you think?" Admiral Cole looked at Dr. Halsey, the promoter and main person in charge of the Spartan project.

"I see with my eyes, Admiral. There are too many unreasonable things in this unit. Soldiers, commanders, battleships, equipment, AI...everything is inconsistent with UNSC common sense." Dr. Halsey frowned Frowning at the data analysis of the Phoenix Army, beside her, a Spartan II soldier, Kelly-087, was explaining to her the unreasonableness of this army.

"Tell me." The Covenant's forces are shrinking, which proves that the Covenant has completed its goal, and the UNSC is about to complete the tactical goal of this battle.

"According to Sparta's analysis, everyone in this unit has experienced at least a thousand tragic battles where the casualty rate may be less than 10%. Some of their tactical actions are learned from death."

"It's unreasonable. ONI also gave me this nonsense conclusion. You should also know the price of cultivating this kind of army, right?"

"In terms of cost alone, based on the calculation that a soldier has participated in 1,000 such battles, every soldier standing on the battlefield now means that at least 10,000 soldiers fell in the process of his growth.

And this legion has more than 10,000 ground troops...I suddenly feel that the price of the second phase of Sparta is so low..." Dr. Halsey suddenly smiled.

"..." Kelly-087┓(`)┏

Of course, if Rita Brataski, the leader of the Phoenix Chapter, knew their analysis, she should have laughed more happily.

Because the phoenix war group played much more than Spartan II.

Personnel of the right age around the world, that is, persons aged 18-35, regardless of gender, as long as they are healthy, they will all receive military training.

After two years of training, he started his own killing journey on several other artificial breeding mimic planets.

Choose 100,000 of the most outstanding fighters, each of whom died a thousand times in battle, and select the best 10,000 people to form the ground troops of the battle regiment, and start the training of the legion battle.

The rest, go to logistics or fleet to work.

Each of them has enough opportunities to prove their talents, and several high-performance AIs comprehensively monitor the operation of the battle group to ensure that the talents of the fleet personnel will not be wasted by inappropriate positions.

Of course, this is just a way of rushing to power due to insufficient manpower in the early days of the warband. After the formation of the warband, the Naval Academy for internal selection within the warband will also be established, and the selection of members will be relatively gentle.

Also, interestingly...

None of the senior officers of the Phoenix Squadron were professional soldiers back then...

For example, Colonel Cage, the commander of the first company, was originally a USA news and propaganda officer, a civilian, and a second lieutenant.

The commander of the second company, Colonel Lilianu, was originally a student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy, majoring in oil painting.

If this group of Ritas who did not gather the power of all civilizations to form a battle group appeared, they would definitely be people with no power to restrain them. After fighting, they would become efficient war machines.

But what makes them even more different from War Machine is that War Machine is ruthless and efficient, destroying enemies without saying a word.

And they beat the enemy out of GG amidst laughter.

For example, Colonel Lilianu, her steps on the battlefield are as elegant and deadly as a Persian cat. After getting rid of the shadow of death, she regards every battle as a dance, walking gracefully, using the chainsaw in her hand Swords and heavy assault rifles to destroy enemies.

"Admiral Cole, the ground troops are approaching the shield, and the plasma rhino is within range."

"Then let them start, I want to know the coordinates of that place as soon as possible."

"Anderson, I strongly disapprove of your work below." Sergeant Fergie stood behind Anderson. A few minutes ago, the two of them reached the Pelican and landed on the ground of Arcadia.

"Isn't it too late for you to say this now?" Dr. Anderson linked the data cable of the tablet computer in his hand to the plasma cannon prototype of the Rhino tank. Start debugging firepower data.

"Aren't you going to meet him?" Cortana, with Spartan 117 on her head in Halo 3, asked Halo Wars 2 Dr. Anderson.

"Anyway, he won't be able to die for a while, let's get rid of this damn shield first." This Dr. Anderson was also debugging the prototype plasma cannon of the Rhino tank.

"It'll be fine soon... Kelly, make sure the data link of the three high-temperature plasma cannons. Below that value, the shield will not be disarmed. If it exceeds too much, the shield will be shattered by the energy flow, and the energy turbulence is very strong." Might blow up the cutie inside." Dr. Halsey ended the debugging.

"Understood, all values ​​are within the set range."

A certain woman from the future recalculated the data for eliminating the shield with a high-heat plasma cannon based on the data she had modulated.

This saves everyone a lot of work.

"Synchronized launch at 3... 2... 1...." Kelly counted down synchronously according to the instructions of the helmet HUD, and then clicked the big red button on the tablet computer on her hand.

The three plasma cannons were fired simultaneously, instantly offsetting the energy shield set up by the Covenant.

"WOW...WOW...WOW...This is not what I expected." Foggy pulled out his rifle from behind and pointed at the Covenant forces staring at UNSC after the shield disappeared.

There were thousands of grunts and gnolls in the shield, and a few unlucky Sangheilis.

"Fergie! What happened!" Before Professor Anderson could react, Fergie pushed him behind the rhino tank.

"Grrrrrr..." A Guru elite subconsciously raised his energy gun and fired at the UNSC troops.

Then, the Star Alliance troops standing in twos and threes were set on fire by UNSC soldiers...

"Fire! Fire!"

Corpses littered the ground.

"A disgusting battle." Fergie changed the magazine and shook his head. "Professor?... WHAT THE FU..."

A Sangheili stepped out from behind Professor Anderson, breaking the invisibility. Is the current kamikaze warrior, Ripa'Moramee (Li Pa. Morami). He reached out to grab Dr. Anderson's neck and lifted Dr. Anderson up easily. "You have to come with me."

"Let me go!" Anderson struggled helplessly in the kamikaze's hands, but it was obvious that her strength was not enough to affect the kamikaze's movements.

"Why don't you put the lady down and let us two men talk?" Fergie approached cautiously with his gun raised. In the other two directions, two Spartans slowly approached the kamikaze.

"Now is not an opportunity, I will repay this battle." Li Pa Morami nodded. Then it was sucked up by the transmission beam of the landing craft. Only five active grenades are left in place.

"Son of a—" Foggy turned around and ran two steps wildly, then fell to the ground.

He was splashed with dirt by the grenade that exploded behind him.

"Fergie communicates to the Spirit of Fire."

"Sergeant, please speak." Captain Carter connected the communication immediately.

"They took Anderson away."

"Damn it. Get back to the boat."

"Already on the way, Captain." Forge and Spartan Red Team boarded the nearby Pelican.

"Where is Anderson's location?" Captain Carter walked to the holographic platform.

"Dr. Anderson's signal is flying towards the border at super-light speed." Serena replied immediately, "I can only track her for a few seconds."

"Captain, Dr. Anderson will become a very serious security hole for us." Spartan Jerome 092's words helped the captain make up his mind.

"Start the FTL engine, and the Spirit of Fire will set off to track down Professor Anderson." Captain Carter clicked on the holographic platform a few times, and gave Serena the authority to operate the ship's hyperspace jump. "This is the Spirit of Fire, James Carter, communicating with the Everest."

"Speaking."

"Professor Ellen Anderson has been captured, and this ship is about to go to the rescue."

"Go, rescue the professor. Reinforcements will arrive soon." Admiral Cole even wanted to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate how smooth the battle was.

————

"The reconnaissance fleet arrived, the covert action module was activated, and the optical camouflage was activated."

Two heavy patrol ships of the Joint Ministry, a Jaeger-class Kai-3, escaped from hyperspace 500 kilometers above Shield World 0459, and then quickly smoothed the space vibration, and activated the stealth module.

"Ground scan."

"Begin ground scanning... Captain's readings on this planet are very strange."

"How strange."

"There are a large number of biological reactions on the surface and shallow underground, and a large number of urban ruins have been scanned.

There is a liquid ocean, and the overall environment is similar to the earth...

However, the mass of the planet itself is not large, it seems to be just an empty shell? "

"Empty shell? Here's the fun. Scanning mode switched to Dyson sphere. Fire probe."

"Follow the captain."

Three probes were launched at a rate of one shot per second, hitting the surface successively.

"During the seismic wave scan...it was confirmed to be a Dyson sphere structure. A large number of cavities and mechanical equipment were detected below the surface. There is a small Hengxin in the center of the Dyson sphere, which is bound by various positions in the center of the Dyson sphere."

"A complete Dyson sphere...I've never seen this before. What are the creatures on the ground? Local wild animals?"

"No, Captain, it's the Flood. A large number of Floods. Floods that have already formed Gravemind Beasts and even Nydus Worms!"

"God damn tunnel worm, it seems that this place should be here. Light up the induction signal and let the follow-up fleet enter. Remember to tell them that there is a need for deworming here."

"Captain AYE AYE. Light up the induction signal to warn of follow-up reinforcements."

"Ian, the induction is already on."

"See, the expedition fleet started to jump, and the First Guards Fleet of the Consolidation Department started to cross the world because it jumped directly from the Pandora galaxy to the shield world. The Song of Hell fleet went with this fleet, and the phoenix fleet recovered the troops and went to the shield world .”

17 spaceships, including the Enterprise, came into contact with invisibility, locked on the guiding signal carelessly, and began to sail faster than the speed of light.

"Captain, a large number of gravity fluctuations have been detected, which is the response to the transition." On the bridge of the Reconnaissance Fleet Flagship above the Shield World, the Captain of the Jaeger-class Mod 3, the artificial reformer captain felt very good.

Everything is going smooth.

He even asked the adjutant to make himself a cup of coffee.

The next thing is, the big fleet came to wash the ground and clean up the Flood on the surface of Shield World.

Then fight the Star Alliance and get the three priests done.

Then the captain's smile froze on his face.

Isn't that chubby ship's bow a CAS-class aircraft carrier of the Star Alliance?

The Star Alliance arrived first!
