Chapter 157 Gatling Gun

After confirming the intelligence, Zhou Yi took Emerald City all the way to the northern forest area, scaring the forest sheep in the treetops so much that they scattered and hid.

With Night Claw leading the way, he did find the gun barrel device exposed from the soil in the forest.

The hammerhead soldiers filed out of the Emerald City and dug out the chariots buried underground with a series of clanging sounds.

This is an eight-wheeled chariot painted in yellow camouflage, with its body severely squeezed and deformed, and its wheels missing. There are many dents on its exterior, showing obvious signs of damage caused by human violence and blunt force trauma.

It has four gun barrels on each side of its top, but they have all been twisted and bent and can no longer be used. Only the black Gatling gun in the middle remains intact - this is also the part that is exposed on the ground.

Zhou Yi walked to the wrecked chariot and put his hand on the metal shell.

Energy input failed.

Death of consciousness is basically confirmed.

He had to take out the remote control and describe the situation of the tank.

Kestrel was quick to respond.

——That’s it. Desert digital camouflage, 8×8 wheeled chassis, 25mm Gatling gun, its model is 625E, there are very few of them, and it is the only one in the northern area.

——After returning to Recursion City, I looked up the circumstances surrounding our attack and learned that the 625E was itself a mechatronic thug. It often attacked other mechatronic life forms to plunder the light nanoboxes, and ordinary light nano species were also its prey. It was wanted by the mechatronic city and was classified as C, but there was no news of it after that incident.

Zhou Yi was somewhat puzzled: "Why can the electromechanical thugs break free from the constraints of the order program and directly attack their own kind and other lives?"

——The reasons are varied.

——Some of them have their own faults that cause the existing main program to fail, and some have been modified through external means to remove their self-restrictions, and the result is that they are no longer restricted. Investigators are usually responsible for dealing with such disordered electromechanical life.

Zhou Yi asked, "Are all the investigators sent from City 404?"

——In addition to City 404, there are also investigators in "City of Rectification" and "Security Department".

Hong Jian explained in detail.

——The investigators sent from these three places each have their own mission.

——Investigators in Suzheng City mainly deal with individuals with strong self-destructive tendencies to prevent the destructive tendencies from spreading and spreading in various forms, thus affecting the entire electromechanical life group.

——The Security Department's target is life that disrupts the order of the electromechanical city. Whether it is electromechanical life or light nano species, they are all targets for investigation, containment and capture. Electromechanical thugs are also within their capture range.

——City 404 is the most special, with the least number of dispatched investigators. It deals with extremely dangerous individuals and has unlimited right to open fire.

The other two are easy to understand.

Zhou Yi asked: "Is this security department a general department?"

--Yes.

——There is a safety department in every electromechanical city. The establishment of this procedural department is to maintain the order and stable operation of the entire electromechanical life society.

I understand it roughly.

Now that the mechatronic thugs have been scrapped, they have become pure machines.

Then see if we can remove something useful.

Zhou Yi operated Emerald City to grab the entire chariot, placed it on the roof, and then returned to the company headquarters to let Qian Su come and take a look.

The weapons dealer looked around the scrapped tank, his eyes stopped at the machine gun: "This caliber is good, I'll check inside first."

She opened the tool kit, took out a vise and a crowbar, skillfully pried open the deformed hatch, and crawled in.

After a while.

The machine gun began to move slowly up and down, and rotate left and right, looking very flexible.

After a while of movement, the machine gun pointed to the sky, and then the entire barrel began to rotate, making a slight buzzing sound.

Qiansu came out with her head down.

"Mr. Zhou, the other structures are badly damaged. This machine gun is in good condition, and there are no problems with steering and aiming. The optical structure is basically intact, and the local metal deformation can be repaired. After installing the energy pack, it can be fired."

"This is a prototype of a C-class 25mm high-speed main gun. It is not a replica optical printing device. The range is at least over 500 meters. It is priceless."

She looked at the black barrel, her face showing no sign of hiding her liking.

Zhou Yi looked at the screen of the remote control in his hand.

Kestrel gave detailed data.

……

[C-class 25mm high-speed Gatling gun]

Damage: 18-22
Cooldown: 0.3
Range: 1500
……

The range is excellent.

Can fire 3 death ray cannons per second.

With such powerful firepower, it is not difficult to understand why the Red Falcon rescue team was directly swept away.

But who destroyed the 625E equipped with this kind of artillery?

Zhou Yi asked Qiansu for advice.

The girl wiped the mud off the barrel with a towel and said, "I'm sure it was smashed by the red-haired monster."

Qian Su pointed at the dents on the surface of the car: "Look, these dents were caused by rocks and fists, the marks are very clear."

"The character of the red-haired monster is that if you let it go, it will go away. If you provoke it or attack it, it will find ways to fight back. If the opponent is difficult, they will look for helpers everywhere and help each other to get revenge."

"When faced with aliens like the Emerald City, the red-haired monsters have no choice but to stay away or give in. But when dealing with electromechanical life, they will never show mercy."

"This tank has a lot of firepower, but its weakness is that it has low protection capabilities. It is a light vehicle designed for mobile combat, and its true power cannot be fully utilized in single combat."

She pointed at the Gatling gun and said, "This anti-aircraft gun is mainly used to deal with high-altitude targets. Of course, it can also be used for horizontal shooting, but once the red-haired monster gets close or ambushes it, it will be finished. Whether it overturns the tank or removes the wheels, the gun will have difficulty in exerting its power."

Qian Gu knocked on the metal shell with a crowbar: "I infer that it was lured by the red-haired monster and fell into the trap on the ground and was stuck, unable to break free. The artillery was restricted and was directly smashed and dismantled."

"The most direct evidence is that I found red-haired monster hair and feces inside. These guys like to mark their victory in this way, leaving the enemy's intact corpse and placing it in their territory to deter other invaders."

"But normally the red-haired monsters won't go crazy. Maybe there was a conflict between the chariot and them." Zhou Yi pondered.

According to the style of 625E, it should fire first, and then the red-haired monster will confront it.

As a result, this time high technology was defeated by the savage monsters, and died in the forest after being ambushed and beaten by the enemy.

Qian Su added: "The prototypes are very easy to use because they are highly finished and the technology is mature."

"I just tried it. It has the ability to lock onto targets. It doesn't require any operation. As long as you recharge the energy pack, it will aim at every moving target in the air. Just press the fire button and let it shoot on its own."

"If I want to be more precise, I can also make more detailed debugging settings to kill the target more specifically."

Zhou Yi asked her to help fix it.

So Qiansu took a wrench and got into the deformed chariot, and started tinkering with it with his pair of iron hands.

It's getting dark.

After nightfall, the summer temperature finally dropped.

Zhou Yi turned around and cooked two bowls of instant noodles and brought two cans of Coke.

The two of them ate dinner sitting next to the chariot on the roof.

Qiansu likes to eat instant noodles very much and even drinks up all the noodle soup.

With some dirty grease on her face, she drank Coke and said, "Thanks for the treat, it's delicious. Actually, this has been fixed."

"So fast?" Zhou Yi was surprised.

"The main gun was only slightly damaged. I disassembled it from the tank to ensure independent operation, which would consume less energy. However, I have disassembled the related launch tubes, driving balancers, mobile shooting, coordinated firing, etc. and left them alone. They are too complicated and I don't know how to repair them."

"But the main gun is usable."

"Let me show you."

Qian Su put down the bowl, wiped her mouth with the tissue Zhou Yi handed her, and then put the tissue in her pocket. She walked to the chariot and took out ten energy packs - this thing is a square tin box, only the size of a lighter.

She turned around and said seriously, "This needs to be reimbursed."

"of course."

Zhou Yi nodded.

The other party then breathed a sigh of relief and directly filled all the energy packs into it.

"I'm now turning on anti-aircraft mode and firing into the air."

Then Qiansu crawled out with a button box in her hand, and there was a line on the box connected to the tank.

She pressed the button on the box.

A small red light lit up on the Gatling gun on the tank, and the barrel began to rotate slowly, searching for targets in the sky.

Flames suddenly spurted out of the muzzle.

Da da da! Da da da!
Three shots per second, very rhythmic.

The air shooting lasted for more than ten seconds.

Qian Gu was concentrating the whole time, and only said after it was over: "14 seconds in total, 42 rounds, one light seed can only fire for so long. The consumption is still very high."

At this moment, a spherical luminous object swooped down from the sky.

The red eyes of Lie Hai appeared on it: "So this is what's attacking me. It's very accurate and it hurts."

It turned out that the artillery was locked on the Ridgehunter.

Zhou Yi explained the situation to it, and Lie Hai was very happy: "Great! When encountering a large number of thorn birds, it is more useful than me and can quickly eliminate those annoying little monsters."

"Chairman, after Mr. St. Petersburg's special training, I can now use weapons. If you believe me, I can also shoot with it, and my shooting is very accurate!"

The spine hunter actually knows how to rely on equipment.

Zhou Yi felt relieved.

The former mama's boy monster has now grown into a qualified warrior.

Zhou Yi told it: "You will have a chance to use it in the future."

At this time, Red Falcon sent a message.

They have completed all the formalities, obtained official authorization and certification, and returned with the first batch of goods.

Zhou Yi looked at Qian Su and asked, "How much can you make in a year from the weapons business?"

The girl said gloomily, "It's hard to say. Sometimes I make more, sometimes I lose more. I also have to consider taxes, relationships, and transportation costs. The past three years have been bad, and I've only made 300 yuan in total."

Zhou Yi was surprised: "So little?"

He originally thought that Qiansu should be a member of the high-income group.

"The net profit is only this much, and it's okay looking at the turnover."

The girl sighed, "My mission and I have a lot of expenses. My body needs maintenance, and my mission is a mechanical life, which is even more expensive. In fact, this income is not enough. The main reason is that I have too few customers, and it is difficult to compete with those big businessmen."

Zhou Yi felt relieved.

I originally thought that her salary was too high and it would be difficult to recruit her.

That being the case.

Zhou Yi said: "Would you like to consider coming to our company? I'll give you a basic salary of 200 yuan per year."

"Okay!"

The other party readily agreed: "Do you want me to work on weapons?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "We don't do weapons business."

"The company is going to set up a new express delivery center, and I want you to develop the company's express delivery business..."
