Chapter 540

.

The production cost of The First Light was very high. Other than the prototype and Li Yuan's custom-made model, only 75 of the mass-produced models were produced. Shi Lei received five of them, and Rongcheng Military District received 60 of them. After that, the entire project stopped production and was in a sealed state.

In fact, the real reason why The First Light project was sealed was not because of the high cost. It was because The First Light's actual combat ability did not reach the expected level.

It was because of this that Rongcheng Military District lacked interest in The First Light and did not further expand the production of The First Light.

At an observation point three kilometers away from the No. 6 Training Ground, He Zhenbang held a telescope and watched the Fearless launch the Flying Arrow missile. A smile appeared on his face.

The flying speed of the Flying Arrow A air-to-surface missile reached 795 meters per second, which was more than 315 kilometers per hour.

This kind of speed far exceeded that of a Dawn Bearer, as well as the limits of human dynamic vision. However, in front of The First Light's high-speed camera, this speed was not enough.

Izur's main server was no longer a machine with poor performance like the No. 6 server. Instead, it was the origin of a supercomputer with computing performance reaching 65TFLops.

The effective range of the Flying Arrow A air-to-surface missile was five kilometers. Superimposed with the acceleration of The First Light, it took about 75 seconds for the Flying Arrow A air-to-surface missile to hit The First Light from launch.

A full 75 seconds!

Izur scanned the Flying Arrow A air-to-surface missile through The First Light's built-in miniature military radar. It quickly calculated according to the preset plan and determined the best way to block it.

In less than a second, Izur immediately stopped The First Light's movement. Then, he took out the anti-material sniper rifle and aimed at the sky.

Fifteen seconds passed in a flash. There were only five seconds left. The Flying Arrow A air-to-surface missile was about to hit The First Light. The distance between the two sides was 6,755 meters, which was within the effective range of the anti-material sniper rifle.

However, Izur did not attack. Because the distance of 6,755 meters was about 6.0 seconds, according to the speed of the anti-material sniper rifle.

6.0 seconds was enough for something unexpected to happen. After all, the Flying Arrow A missile did not fly in a straight line. Instead, it flew in an irregular serpentine trajectory.

One second later, the Flying Arrow A air-to-surface missile was 415 meters away from The First Light. Izur still did not fire.

The second second later, the muzzle of the anti-materiel sniper rifle burst into flames. The bullet crossed the distance of 275 meters in less than a second and successfully hit the Arrow A air-to-surface missile.

"Boom!"

In the sky, a brilliant ball of fire appeared.

The bullet from the anti-material sniper rifle detonated the Flying Arrow A air-to-surface missile!

"What?!" He Zhenbang looked at the fire that was more than three kilometers away in disbelief. Shock was written all over his face.

In fact, Shi Lei was also shocked!

Although Shi Lei had expected this result, when Izur actually used the anti-materiel sniper rifle to hit the high-speed missile, Shi Lei realized how terrifying it was.

"Good, very good!" Shi Lei praised to himself. It was unknown whether he was praising Izur or praising something else.

After Izur resolved the missile crisis, he controlled The First Light and rushed toward the Fearless again. This time, Shi Lei did not use a missile to attack.

After nearly three minutes, The First Light was less than 755 meters away from the Fearless. If The First Light got close, The First Light's alloy heavy sword would only need five seconds at most to cut off the Fearless's four mechanical legs.

But could Shi Lei let The First Light succeed in its surprise attack?

Even if Izur controlled The First Light and had extremely powerful calculation ability that was almost like a prediction. But in the end, it was not the legendary prediction ability. It could also be broken through by powerful attacks.

When The First Light entered the range of 605 meters, the Fearless's two M15 wheel-barreled machine guns began to show their power. The roaring bullets formed a torrent of steel and directly suppressed The First Light.

Under Izur's control, The First Light took out an alloy shield in time to block the impact of the M15 wheel-barreled machine guns. Unfortunately, the M15 wheel-barreled machine guns' bullets had enormous pressure and forced The First Light to retreat.

The First Light used two 70-horsepower all-ceramic micro-turbine engines to provide power. The power stacking equalization system used an asynchronous equalization mode, but it could only reach 90 horsepower.

This kind of power was not enough to withstand the enormous pressure caused by the two M15 wheel-barreled machine guns.

"Sir, the target's combat power is extremely strong. The First Light is completely suppressed. Should we activate the backup plan and activate The First Light to self-destruct to prevent the technology from leaking out?" Izur quickly calculated The First Light's chances of winning. There was almost no chance of winning. Then, he informed Shi Lei.

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Retreat. From 155 meters away, use the anti-material sniper rifle and attack the target's four mechanical connections."

"Sir, according to the airborne radar scan, the target still has long-range attack methods. Please confirm to continue the attack? "Izur asked Shi Lei again to confirm the order.

Shi Lei still wanted to say something, but below the observation platform, Shi An shouted, "Shi Lei, Commander He's order is for you to stop the test. The Fearless' attack ability has been verified. "

"Oh!" Shi Lei shook his head regretfully and did not continue the test. It seemed that he did not have enough fun.

Carrying two military laptops and a game controller, Shi Lei came down from the observation platform. He looked at Shi An and said, "Commander Shi, I haven't finished the test yet! Why don't you pilot The First Light and we continue the test? "

Cold sweat broke out on Shi An's forehead. Just now, the Fearless had fired the missile and the two M15 machine guns had suppressed The First Light. Shi An had seen everything clearly.

Moreover, Shi An knew one thing better than He Zhenbang. That was, The First Light had hit the Arrow A air-to-surface missile and not the Arrow B air-to-air missile.

Although the Arrow B air-to-air missile's power was slightly weaker than the Arrow A air-to-surface missile, the Arrow B air-to-air missile's speed of 835 kilometers was very fast. However, the flying speed of the Flying Arrow B air-to-air missile would reach 835 meters per second, which was much higher than the 795 meters per second of the Flying Arrow A air-to-ground missile.

Moreover, whether it was the Arrow A air-to-surface missile or the Arrow B air-to-air missile, their power was enough to blow The First Light into smithereens!

"Shi Lei, let's not joke around anymore! Commander He wants you to go over. He has something to ask you. "Shi An used He Zhenbang's name to suppress Shi Lei.

Shi Lei could only shrug and put on a helpless expression. He got into the Jeep that Shi An drove over and drove over to He Zhenbang's side.

Three kilometers away from the No. 6 Practice Field, the observation point of the Rongcheng Military District's bigwigs.

Shi Lei deliberately sat beside He Zhenbang and said, "Commander He, how is it? The Fearless is very powerful, right? And today is only the 60th of March! "

He Zhenbang nodded. "The overall feeling is not bad! But the Fearless is too big and can't enter the building to fight. "

"Isn't there still the Explorer? Do you want to test the Explorer? The Fearless is used for head-on combat! The Explorer is the one who enters the building and fights with lightweight weapons, "Shi Lei explained.

The positioning of the Fearless was very simple. It replaced the Steel Ship in ultra-long-distance and ultra-long battles. The Steel Ship was an aircraft, so it was more difficult to operate in terms of supply and maintenance. The Fearless was a piece of ground equipment. Whether it was supply, maintenance, or even on-site control, it was simpler. Moreover, its conventional combat ability was stronger.

"Alright, Shi Lei, there's no need to test the Explorer! There's another disharmony at the border of Western Province. The Xitu Organization kidnapped one of our patrolling soldiers and demanded that we release their personnel. Since the other party is hiding inside an underground building, it's not convenient for the Steel Ship to enter. Therefore, I'm going to send the Explorer! "He Zhenbang looked at Shi Lei seriously.

Shi Lei's eyes flashed. "Commander He, you mean you want me to go personally?"

"Other than you, who else can remotely control the Explorer and the Fearless?" He Zhenbang asked.

"Commander He, I can promise you. However, I have a very, very small request, "Shi Lei chuckled.

He Zhenbang frowned slightly. "What's your request?"

"After this mission is completed, I'll need five Dauntless and Explorers for each of them. I can pay for the materials and labor costs. As for my use, please be magnanimous. There's no need to ask! " Of course, Shi Lei wanted to send them to the Yellow Triangle and give them to Ye Feng and the others to use so that Ye Feng and the others could become stronger!

"I can promise you. But they can't appear within the range of the Xia Xia! Once they appear within the range of the Xia Xia, don't blame me for falling out with you, "He Zhenbang said in a serious tone.

He knew some of Shi Lei's secrets, such as Ye Feng. However, he thought that Ye Feng was still in Africa and didn't know that Ye Feng had already gone to the Yellow Triangle.

"No problem, no problem! Commander He, when do I set off for the Western Province? "Shi Lei didn't expect He Zhenbang to agree so easily.

Anyway, He Zhenbang agreed. As for why He Zhenbang agreed so easily, he was too lazy to think about it. As long as the Fearless and Explorers were handed over to him, Rongcheng Military District wouldn't be able to locate and track them.

"Set off immediately! The Explorers, Fearless, and The First Light will all set off with you. At the same time, for your safety, we will also send a special operations team to accompany you, "He Zhenbang promised Shi Lei.

"Alright! No problem! "Shi Lei agreed.

After Shi Lei agreed, He Zhenbang immediately arranged for two armed helicopters to transport three sets of equipment and Shi Lei and the others to the Western Province.

Li Chai was left in Rongcheng Military District and didn't go with Shi Lei. The situation at the border of the Western Province was quite bad at the moment. The Xitu Organization was very arrogant and the security situation wasn't very clear.

He Zhenbang arranged for a special operations team with a total of eight people. Together with Shi Lei, they were all in the same armed helicopter.

The leader of the special operations team was called Gao Qiang. His skin was a little dark and he looked to be 71 or 72 years old. He looked at Shi Lei and smiled, revealing his white teeth. "Chief, how are we going to fight this time?"
