Chapter 1464 - Is it necessary to bet? (1/2)
It was not just the guided-missile frigate that was sunk.
There was a total of four nuclear submarines that launched assaults beneath the ocean surface, all of which were modified by the dark technologies by the joint effort of Future Military and Future Heavy Industries. Apart from the hull that appeared to be similar to the Kilo-class diesel-powered submarine, there was not the slightest sign of the past.
Eight torpedoes were launched simultaneously, and the flames of the explosion lit the gloomy sea level into red.
After the Ford Aircraft Carrier Battle Group lost a guided missile frigate, a destroyer, and an attack nuclear submarine, the air defense capability was instantly weakened to a minimum. The already crumbing air superiority also began to favor Celestial Trade.
On the Ford aircraft carrier.
The flame of battle had burned from the deck to below the deck.
NS-90s used thermite to blow up some anti-aircraft weapons, melted through the sealed hatch, and split into two directions. Part of the AI soldiers went to the hangar, while the rest directly attacked the bridge.
The NS-90s that entered the ship went into a fierce exchange of fire inside the narrow hallways with the Marine Corps soldiers that arrived as backup. The bullets with orange-yellow trajectories bounced inside the steel hallways. The NS-90s relied on their strong armor and disdain for death to tear a path of blood through the Marine Corps’ line of defense.
On the other side, in the carrier hangar, the SEALs equipped with special equipment developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the NS-90s. The power armor that they mimicked did not bring many advantages. Although the anti-armor firepower was somewhat effective against NS-90s, the ten-to-one or even twenty-to-one loss exchange ratio made everyone’s morale depressed.
“…This is Delta, we’re engaging enemy units!”
“Weapon lift is destroyed! Celestial Trade has penetrated into the hangar, WE NEED BACKUP!”
“HOLD YOUR POSITION, DON’T RETREAT! SH*T! AHHHHH…”
The static noise that transmitted in Major Admiral’s ear turned his expression even gloomier.
There were less than two hundred NS-90s. Although he did not optimistically think that the war would be easy, he did not expect it to be so one-sided. The Delta Team in the hangar was equipped with the “Sea Beast” power armor developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The power armor was not only installed with the newly developed micro-jet engine, but the front armor was even installed with the expensive titanium alloy used on spacecraft!
The Delta was originally prepared for the orbital airborne brigade of Celestial Trade.
But it had already encountered its death here…
At this moment, the hatch was slammed open, and the Marine Corps officer who was shot in the shoulder stumbled in. Hogg instinctively reached for his waist, but after he saw the person, he immediately grabbed him and held him straight.
When everyone in the bridge saw the injuries on the officer’s body, people started to panic.
Everyone thought that their powerful Marines would eliminate the robots that landed on the deck and regain control of the deck and the weapon lift, but they didn’t expect the situation to deteriorate to this point!
“Wayne! What’s wrong with you.” Hogg held onto Wayne and said with a surprised and shocked look.
“We can’t hold the Ford anymore…Retreat…” Wayne was breathing heavily. After he was helped into a chair to sit down, he immediately grabbed Major Admiral Hogg’s hand and stared at his commander with bloodshot eyes. Slowly, word by word, he said, “Those robots…we can’t deal with them! Quickly…Retreat! N…ow…!”
Just as he spoke, there was an explosion outside the bridge.
Everyone inside the bridge felt the tremor from under their feet approaching.
“Retreat?”
There was a sign of misery on Hogg’s pale face. He looked at the rain curtain dotted with flames outside the window, and his tight shoulders suddenly relaxed.
