"Hurry up!"
Under the commander's constant urging, the two Mecha Warrior walked up to the missile one after the other, then leaned against it and, with the help of a special clip, connected themselves to the missile. Judging from their seamless fit, this plan was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
"Rooney, I still don't feel quite right. If I throw up in the cockpit later, do you think I'll need to clean myself up?" Despite the commander's reprimand, Jack continued his incessant chatter.
"I think that's for sure."
"Alright then, I'll try my best to hold back."
The preparation process was tense but orderly. Shortly after the fixed tasks were completed, the parameter settings were also recalculated. As the commander counted down, the missile ignited, and amidst billowing smoke, the missile carried the Mecha Warrior into the sky.
"I hope everything goes well!" the commander prayed silently.
"What's going on? The wormhole has reopened?" At that moment, the command room door opened, and a Ming Civilization rushed in. His clothes were slightly disheveled, and he shouted loudly as soon as he entered.
"That's right, Dr. Benba."
"This is impossible! It was just opened half a month ago!" The person who came was Dr. Benba. He was the first person to calculate the pattern of wormhole opening. His previous algorithms had never had any problems, and the Ming Civilization had always gained the upper hand. But this time, something went wrong.
"Nothing is impossible, Doctor. So all the instruments have detected the activation reaction." The commander didn't care about Dr. Benba's attitude. He understood Dr. Benba's feelings. He couldn't accept it at first either. Therefore, since the wormhole appeared, it had never been reopened after only half a month.
"How could this be? My algorithm can't be wrong, there must be something wrong with it." Dr. Benba seemed a bit discouraged. Because of the algorithm, he had helped the Ming Civilization avoid many losses and gained a lot of honors. If it was proven that he was wrong and that the previous events were just coincidences, then these honors would be gone.
The commander ignored the muttering Dr. Benba, his gaze fixed on the large screen in front of him, which displayed the surveillance footage of the Mecha Warrior had just left.
The two mechs were currently flying at a speed exceeding 15 times the speed of sound, aided by missiles. The immense pressure was nearing the mechs' limits, and sparks were already appearing at some of the joints. If they continued to fly at this speed for twenty minutes, they would disintegrate on their own, without any need for combat.
Fortunately, the base was built on the shore base closest to the wormhole, and at the current speed, it only takes three minutes to reach the designated location.
In fact, there is a closer reaction base on the sea near the wormhole, but because they had just repelled a monster attack half a month ago, and according to Dr. Benba's calculations, the next attack will be more than a year later, the reaction base has been put on leave except for a few maintenance personnel.
The commander glanced at Dr. Benba, who was still unable to accept reality, and sighed inwardly. If a major blunder really occurred this time, Dr. Benba would definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat.
"&...%&%*&" Jack's mouth seemed to be still moving, but the violent trembling and pressure made it impossible for him to hear what he was saying.
On the other side, Rooney listened to the noise in the communicator and couldn't help but admire Jack. The life support and protection devices of the mechs were not designed to deal with this kind of situation at the beginning. At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat, his muscles were tense, and his gums were clenched. He couldn't even make a sound, let alone speak.
Those three minutes felt like an eternity to the two mech pilots, until...
"Sir, we will arrive at the designated delivery location in ten seconds!"
"Unbind and activate the auxiliary program!"
The latches between the mech and the missile were suddenly opened remotely, and the missile changed its course and flew upwards. After running out of fuel, it will crash into the designated location for recovery.
The mech plummeted towards the sea below. Although the missile's acceleration was gone, its inertial speed was still extremely high. If it crashed into the sea at this speed, it would be no less than crashing into a mountain peak. Even with the mech's protection, it would probably be torn to pieces.
In a flash, the pilot, whose brain was throbbing, had no time to react. Fortunately, the mech's auxiliary programs were activated remotely, and additional propulsion devices around its body started up, stabilizing its position and reducing its speed.
"Hey bro, got it?" Jack's voice suddenly rang out, but Rooney indicated he needed to calm down and didn't want to talk.
"Quickly adjust your state, enter the water in ten seconds!" The commander's voice rang out over the communicator. Despite feeling extremely unwell, the two pilots remained focused and took over the operation of the mechs.
"Boom! Boom!" The two mechs plunged into the water one after the other, creating huge splashes. Their lighting systems activated, sonar systems started, and thrusters activated...
"Brother, slow down, I don't want to change partners," Jack continued to ramble on.
"Shut up!" Rooney scolded Jack for the first time today. Because of their different focuses, Jack had the capital to be "reckless" due to his superhuman reflexes. But Rooney couldn't do that. If he didn't want to get killed off early, he had to be more careful.
Hearing his partner's reprimand, Jack obediently shut his mouth. Rooney almost never got angry at him, but when he did, it meant the situation was extremely critical. Although he was impulsive, he wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.
"Be careful, the wormhole is just ahead. Let's get closer," Rooney commanded. The distant base, relying on the mech's onboard observation devices, couldn't provide timely combat command. Therefore, once combat mode was activated, the mech pilots had to decide their own actions. Among the two, the mature and composed Rooney was undoubtedly the commander.
"Roger that!" Jack also focused his mind. Although he reacted quickly, he was not immortal, and he also had to be responsible for his teammates.
"Activate the warning devices! Watch your step!"
"Clear!"
On the back of the two mechs, a protective plate opened, and several small reconnaissance devices were ejected. They switched to underwater mode and darted away in all directions, leaving a trail of water.
Several new visual blocks immediately appeared on the display screen inside the mech. These blocks were linked to the detectors and could effectively help the mech pilot detect dangers in the surrounding area in advance.
A few minutes later, they found nothing. This was highly unusual.
The fact that the rotating staff at the reaction base are on leave does not mean that the early warning devices are also on leave; otherwise, the main base would not be able to receive the alerts in time.
In this sea area, in addition to a large number of energy detection instruments, there are also other video capture, sonar and other equipment. Logically speaking, after the monster emerges from the wormhole, it should be difficult to hide its whereabouts because it is in the sea.
The information that Jack and Rooney had received earlier indicated that the equipment had not detected the monster moving away.
"Jack, I need to collect the terrain map. Cover me."
"Receive!"
