Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 80 The Destruction of the Xuepo Train Plan

The three storm-armed robots were mobilized in front of the spiers outside the city facing the direction of the steel bridge. Case sat on the control console and his body was fixed on the bracket.

His two arms are fixed by straps, holding the joystick, and his two legs respectively control the movement of the Storm Mech.

The head is equipped with a direct-connected sound transmission pipe. At this stage, it is impossible to conduct electronic sound conversion signal transmission, so this simple method is used instead.

The observation lenses in the eyes can only see the front of the machine gun, but since the direction can be adjusted up, down, left, and right, and the robot stands high enough, there is no need to worry about blind spots in the field of vision.

Moreover, the personnel in the observation room on the top of the robot will report the situation in the four places ahead at any time.

The positions of the other two machine guns were controlled by another person. At this moment, they all turned around and pointed forward.

Because it is a mechanical transmission, there will be a small delay in the control, and the hands selected as the driver must be practiced.

The engineering apprentices under Alexander suddenly thought that it would be great if this kind of robot can control the body in real time through the nerves like humans, or it can be directly connected to the human brain to omit the manual control process, which can also greatly reduce the human body. Control latency.

However, this idea cannot be realized after all. The current technology is still unable to achieve a perfect brain-computer connection, let alone a higher level of wetware.

The dreadnoughts equipped with cannons are still being maintained at the factory, and the steam engines have not yet been installed.

However, these three armed robots with steam engines installed can already operate away from the steam hub for a long time.When there is no energy source, you only need to squat down to absorb the nearby snow to resume action. After all, this place is full of snow, so there is no need to worry about being unable to move.

The three robots with a total of nine machine guns pointed forward, waiting for the arrival of the rail cars.

Li Jianghao no longer needs to take the lead and stand at the forefront. He stands on the top of the minaret and looks down at the front, thinking about where is the snow-broken train rushing out from under the steel bridge?
Alfonso, whom he had met before, obviously didn't know the location of New London. His own people went back and forth on the steel bridge so many times, but they didn't find any sound of snow-breaking trains running underground.

The visitor is not good.

Seeing the other party's hasty look, maybe they encountered some danger and wanted to blame themselves and let New London help them solve it.

Not long after, the roaring rail car appeared in the naked eye's field of vision, and the guards standing on the ground could already feel the vibration of the rails above the ground. In addition to the vibration of the rail car running, there was also a tremor deep underground.

It was like an earthquake, chasing these people.

The sound of the sirens echoed in the city. People looked up in shock and looked into the distance, not knowing what was happening outside the city.

Some people climbed the elevator out of the outpost, ready to see what happened.

The manpower in the robot observation room received Li Jianghao's order and began to order the driver at the bottom to shoot to prevent the rail car from advancing further.

Case had no qualms and pulled the latch.

The next moment, the ammunition sprayed from the machine gun, together with the vibrations brought to his body by the resonant spring and the soft cushion of the driving position, gave Case an inexplicable pleasure.

This feeling stimulated the instinctive perception of men, and made Case unconsciously wear an excited smile on his face when he was shooting.

Sure enough, men are born with no resistance to big and fierce things.

The bullet stirred up a cloud of snow and dust in front of the track, forcing the rail cars to slow down.

From there, some material boxes were thrown out, randomly scattered in the snow.It can already be seen that a few people emerged from the carriage, armed with weapons, but instead shot towards their rear.

It seemed that these people were indeed being chased by something and fled all the way here.

Finally, the rail car at the front stopped [-] meters ahead, and the group of people jumped out of the car and headed towards New London non-stop.

They are waving the flag of France in their hands. Perhaps because of the storage environment and the current white field of vision, the colors on both sides of the flag in their hands are a little light, and it looks like they are waving a white flag.

"We want to meet the Lord Mayor of New London! Ask him to shelter Her Majesty's eternal allies, the people of the Second French Republic!"

The man rushing to the front shouted, the exposed skin did not have the frozen redness of the long-term frost in the cold wind, it seemed that he had not been exposed to the cold wind for a long time, and only recently arrived outdoors.

A team of guards quickly led them to the gate of the outer minaret. The group came back to their senses temporarily and stared at the building complex outside the low-lying land. It was obviously different from the energy tower they had known before.

When they noticed the three robots, they realized that the bullets they fired just now were shot from the machine guns under the robots, and their expressions seemed to be even more shocked.

But when Li Jianghao saw these people, he even saw some happiness in their eyes.

Are you grateful for the force shown by these robots?

And it seems that these people who arrived first didn't care about the companions who hadn't arrived at all, but ran to the building for the first time to seek shelter.

What happened over there?
As the following railcars arrived one after another, more and more French people got off the trains in a hurry, pouring into the city with terrified expressions.Fortunately, the group of houses under the spire is not yet inhabited, and there is enough space to accommodate it without affecting the original residents of New London.

The citizens looked at this side from the top of the wall with the mentality of eating melons, and it is not clear what happened for the time being.

Li Jianghao just showed up to calm some of the French people who were still in panic, and asked the guards who came later to settle (take care of) these people, and took the leader of the first batch of entrants out of the city.

"Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor! Let me go into the city, it's dangerous outside! I can help you restrain my people and won't cause trouble to you!"

Benedict Ollette, who thought he was relieved, was dragged out of the city by the man wearing the mayor's ribbon, and couldn't help shouting.

"Answer my question, what is chasing you?"

Li Jianghao drew out the holy sword with one hand and stared into the opponent's eyes.

Benedict looked at the sharpness of the edge of the holy sword. Before Li Jianghao could move, the opponent fell to the ground. The next moment he got up and ran towards the city, but he didn't forget to shout:
"Our engineers are crazy. They made a machine to stabilize the operation of the underground track, but it caused several tracks to collapse. They chased us with that machine and wanted to kill us too."

"Why kill you? Aren't you compatriots?"

The Holy Sword did not know when it fell from the sky, blocking Benedy's retreat,

The latter lamented and said in despair:
"The end is coming! There will never be spring again. Ten days ago, we had a team bring back some news about the end. After the engineers verified the calculations, they used that kind of machinery to destroy [-]% of the underground rail stations. And the driving route. We were the last one to complete the cruise, and we quickly turned around and came here using this secret underground track when we received the news."

Li Jianghao thought about it, it was really sad that the Xuepo train was destroyed by his own people before it encountered a real snowstorm, and then asked:

"So, you French guys secretly built this underground track? It's amazing that you can be close to Winter House and New London at the same time."

When Benedy heard this, his voice trembled a little, and he said: "When we were building the energy tower, at least eleven of our convoys lost supplies, and they were all done by people from your empire."

"We are all allies, so don't care about this kind of thing."

Li Jianghao finally laughed out, walked up to Benedy, and pulled out the holy sword.
