Earth Invasion

Chapter 84
Long-distance space travel is extremely boring.This is especially true for human beings poisoned by various entertainment activities due to this information explosion.Especially Glide [-] is flying towards the wormhole, and the distance from the earth is calculated in astronomical units.In this case, it's fine to use long waves or neutrinos for communication, but it's really inconvenient to connect to entertainment networks.Human beings in this era may not be able to live without entertainment products for half a day.

But the Assyrians are different. They don’t have many entertainment activities and they are very quiet. A month of space travel is nothing to them.Even Shure Stink, a hybrid born in the human world, still only likes some slow-paced entertainment, such as chess and Go.In addition to these activities like an old man, he also served as Zhangmai's combat instructor, and learned Assyrian lingua franca from An and Xiaoxi.Unlike the yellow three-linked star who was about to rot, he had a fulfilling life.

The most challenging of them is to teach Zhang Mai various tactics and experience.Especially after the course entered ground combat and Ai Cixiu got involved.

In front of the virtual display of Glide No. [-], the middle-aged people are gathering around to watch a battle in a virtual environment.The geographical location is a typical landform of the Assyrian planet, densely vegetated mountains, not a high-radiation area.and slightly higher gravity than Earth.The two sides in the battle are Xiu Er who is the teaching side and Zhang Mai who is the simulated attacking side.The subject is simple, capture the flag.On Zhang Mai's side are two UFPs and several supporting multi-legged chariots and armored infantry.They will first occupy a stronghold defended by a UFP in Xiuer, several dark forts and multi-legged chariots, and then set up beacons, waiting for orbital bombing.That is to say, the clubhouse is not simply captured. After the capture, the communication beacon must be defended.

The other UFP on Zhang Mai's side temporarily uses Liuli to generate an AI, and then Zhang Mai formulates tactics for this AI.In terms of information setting, Xiu Er does not know the strength of the attacking party, while Zhang Mai is set to know a general idea.

During the nearly one month of intensive training, Zhang Mai finally lost his childishness. His solid basic skills of driving industrial robots at school have been fully utilized.Especially on the ground, where there is a limit of gravity, his delicate kung fu begins to exert its power.

This virtual battle is basically coming to an end. Zhang Mai first learned about the detailed deployment of Xiuer's troops in the approaching reconnaissance. I used myself as a bait to call Xiuer out, and then the AI ​​led the multi-legged tank and the PA infantry to occupy the location and pretended to set up a communication beacon.

Xiu Er immediately left Zhang Mai and returned to the defense, and the AI ​​over there also ran away immediately, and then made a cross-position with Zhang Mai.

After several false alarms and cross positions, Zhang Mai finally bought time to set up the communication beacon, but at the same time, the AI ​​serving as the bait was also destroyed by Shure.On the surface, the two sides have returned to the same starting line, but in fact, the advantage has been determined.Because Xiuer must return to rescue, but Zhang Mai can lie in ambush calmly.

Nested in a mountain depression, turned the infrared suppression device to the maximum.Things like optical camouflage need to use the dispersion of nanoparticles, which is fine in the universe, but not in the atmosphere.Modern UFPs use color-changing coatings on the ground.Just like a chameleon. The overall height of UFP is about 20 meters [-]. On the mountains of the Assyrian planet, tall trees with a height of [-] meters are full of pits and valleys.Thanks to the low-temperature turbine of the subcritical reactor, the UFP shrank into the forest, and if the infrared suppression was turned on, no one would be able to detect it.Although Shure's UFP doesn't generate much heat when walking, it's a pity that its heavy footsteps can't cover up anyway.

Through the sound measuring device, Zhang Mai quickly drew a route map of the other party's movement, and then roughly predicted the other party's course of action based on the position of the communication beacon.He clicked a few times on the control light screen to call up the plasma projectile bomb equipped on the backpack on his back.After taking one last fix, he hit the launch button.

A dozen or so cylindrical plasma bombs were thrown out in the order of high, medium and low, and the bang bang of the electromagnetic lever startled a large group of birds in the forest.

Because of the atmosphere, the effect of plasma bombs on the ground is longer than in space, but the expansion speed of ion fireballs is also much slower.Coupled with the projectile trajectory, this thing is also useful for PA.UFP with a laser close-in defense system doesn't care about this kind of thing.

However, the plasma flame will block all detection equipment and interfere with energy weapons.It also temporarily disturbs the deflection electric field.

Xiu Er, who was temporarily deaf and blind, was attacked by Zhang Mai like a storm.

"Fuck, how can this kid be as good as Yueyue when he goes crazy." Ankalin curled his lips, "The continuous attack of the heavy particle cannon, this cannon has already been scrapped. Oh, and the full power of the plasma cannon Shooting. It hurts me to see his reactor."

"There's also electromagnetic rifle fire, whoops! This kid has a heavy slashing sword. Damn it! That's okay too!"

Di~~~, the virtual training cabin issued a long electric sound that the training was over, and the two simulated balls were opened at the same time, and Zhang Mai and Xiu Er floated out of it.Xiu Er's face was calm, and Zhang Mai's face was very tired, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

In this simulated battle, Zhang Mai won.He scrapped all the heavy particle cannon and plasma cannon, and at the cost of overhauling the electromagnetic rifle, he used the plasma heavy slashing sword to penetrate Xiuer's armor, which was regarded as a victory.

"Good boy! Learned to use your brain! Alright, it's worthy of being a soldier brought out by me, Ai Cixiu, with enough imagination!" The cook floated over, patted Zhang Mai on the shoulder, and laughed there.

"Ah, ah, ah, cook! This kid obviously learned his life-threatening assault from me, how did he become a soldier brought out by you?!" Mei Manyue had half a cucumber in her mouth, chewing loudly .

"Stop it, what else do you have besides relying on the advantages of the Assyrian physique to jump over for a while and pounce over for a while? You don't have the 200-meter hard work of elite infantry. You are not a soldier in our Marine Corps. Qualified, I still learn from you..."

The slags chattered as they left the training room.After watching the excitement, these people have no leisure to stay here.

Although he won, Zhang Mai knew that he was lucky to win, and now he was exhausted physically and mentally, and his head was like boiling.If there is another match right after, I'm afraid I'll just pounce on it and end it soon.After all, he was a monk halfway, and he was still not as energetic as a professional soldier.

There are only three people left in the training ground, Zhang Mai, Shure Stink, and Ann.Xiao Xi has been staying in Ai Cixiu's kitchen now, competing with the centrifugal frying pan and sealed saucepan in the kitchen every day.And Ann is a little idle, or she is very irritable now, because the journey back to Assyria has passed halfway, but she still has no plans.Assyria is very big, but it has no place to go.

In addition, she doesn't know how to face Zhang Mai now.From L[-] Yang Zhiyuan's place, the relationship between the two began to change, but An himself couldn't tell what kind of relationship it was.Therefore, during this period of time on board, she subconsciously avoided Zhang Mai.But who is Zhang Mai's daily training for? An dare not say that he fully understands Zhang Mai's thoughts, but at least the other party is training for the Assyrians, and he can't justify hiding aside.

Another person who made her more entangled was the Shure Stink who was summing up his experience with Zhang Mai.Judging from the color of his face and hair, An could confirm that the other party was of mixed Assyrian descent, and Xiuer himself admitted that his mother was Assyrian.But Ann found that this gentleman didn't have much special feelings for the Assyrians.

Seeing that the crew members of Glide No. [-] had left, they calmed down and planned to ask this gentleman.

Xiu Er was talking to Zhang Mai about the battle just now.Although Ai Cixiu doesn't know how to pilot UFP, but as the cook himself said, for the imagination of marine warfare, Xiuer thinks he can't keep up with this old marine.Zhang Mai's level in land warfare far exceeds his in space warfare.If his thinking is correct, he will encounter many land battles in Assyria in the future.

An didn't know when she floated over, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Xiu Er was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

"Mr. Stink, I have some questions to ask you." Ann stopped Stink, Xiuer turned around, and asked a little strangely: "Miss Rivendell, do you have anything to do?"

An's fingers twisted together nervously, and she involuntarily leaned against Zhang Mai.

"Excuse me, Mr. Stink, I want to ask you, you are of mixed race, and you treat Assyrians..."

Shure Stink smiled slightly, he understood what Ann wanted to say.

"I'm half-Assyrian. But, culturally, I'm an Earthling. Or an Earthling in space."

"Mr. Xiu Er, then why did you go to the Assyrian planet?" Zhang Mai was also curious about the reason of Xiu Er Stink.

Shure Stink looked at the two people, and he sighed secretly. He thought that if he didn't make it clear, these two curious babies would probably have nothing to do with him.He leaned against the simulator and shook his head.

"I haven't actually seen my mother." Xiuer said slowly, looking at the ceiling, "My mother was captured from Assyria by human traffickers, and she is a so-called surrogate maid."

Surrogate maid...

An was a little dazed, but Zhang Mai knew what was going on.This kind of thing started a long time ago. The so-called surrogate maids are captive Assyrian girls with good looks and high quality. They are sold to some wealthy families and used as reproductive machines. To give birth to a hybrid who can integrate the physical qualities of the Assyrians.But this sort of thing fell out of fashion more than a decade ago.Because in recent years, it has been found through statistics that although Assyrian mixed-races have good physical fitness, they have no advantage in intelligence, and most of them are even mediocre in intelligence.

Xiuer looked at Zhang Mai, knowing that he had understood, and he went on to say: "The medical field first tried to use Assyrian gene fragments to embed human fertilized eggs, intending to create earthlings comparable to Assyrians. However, the Assyrians have a great genetic advantage, and this batch of test-tube babies will be irreversibly biased towards the Assyrians. It is a pity that these people did not inherit the radiation resistance of the Assyrians when they were a few years old. However, this is not the case for mixed-race children. Therefore, people began to consider whether it was a problem with the mother’s uterus. Later, it was the mixed-race baby boom more than 30 years ago. I just caught up with that baby boom tail."

An and Zhang Mai couldn't help but glanced at each other. It seemed that this Shure Stink was not an ordinary person.After all, it was not an ordinary person who could buy a surrogate maid more than 20 years ago.

"Haven't you ever thought of finding your mother?" Zhang Mai asked tentatively.

"Huh~" Xiuer smiled, "I have never seen her before, and I don't know whether she is dead or alive. In my memory, she is just a vague shadow. I received an elite education since I was a child." .My tutor and my father have repeatedly downplayed my impression of the Assyrians. I can only say that they are very successful. Now I don’t have much affection for the Assyrians, and I don’t have a sense of identity.”

Both Zhang Mai and An's faces were very bad.There are all kinds of attitudes towards Assyria on the earth, ranging from patriarchs like Qiao Fuli to egalitarians like Sun Yan and Li Chiqi.There is also a large portion of sympathizers.In terms of blood, there are pure-blood factions who resolutely oppose mixed-race children, and there are mixed-blood factions who treat mixed-race children equally.Zhang Mai once naively regarded the mixed-race faction as sympathizers, but now it seems that it is not the same thing.

"I accepted this mission first because of the order of Teresa's national representative. After all, I am a soldier." Xiuer continued, "However, this does not mean that I have no feelings or inclinations."

"Miss Rivendell, I don't have much sense of identity with the Assyrian group. However, I don't want my mother's tragedy to happen again. This can be regarded as a kind of willfulness. In addition, Teresa's national representative is A sympathizer, or in other words, she believes that human beings should have their own persistence and integrity at this moment, and it is not a good idea to continue that kind of predatory development. Therefore, I will accept this person's task, as long as it is a task I will try my best to complete the things I am guilty of. So, you don't have to worry about my motives. Similarly, I have accepted the culture of the earth since I was a child, and my sense of identity is also for the people of the earth, so you should not expect me to do any harm Something about the earth or the space circle."

After speaking, Shure Stink left the simulation training cabin.Xiang An bowed slightly, turned around and disappeared into the passage.

"Did I ask a question I shouldn't ask?" An asked Zhang Mai in a daze.

Zhang Mai shook his head, but what he said was irrelevant: "Sometimes the actions of our earth people not only hurt you, but we are also one of the victims."
