Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 173 172. Who wouldn’t be attracted to such a big guy, right?
Citrus shamelessly mocked Cypher's cowardly behavior in the communication.

By the way, he boasted that he couldn't get the weapons and equipment by himself, and it was just that Seifer's performance was not good enough, otherwise there would be a big reward, etc.

The words were interspersed with various expressions, which made Seifer clench his fists.

Tangerine: Okay, mercenary, go play with your big toys. I have other things to do, so I won't play with you anymore. Bye~

The window closed instantly, and things came and went like the wind as usual... But to be honest, at least what was given was real, although I couldn't figure out where the engine came from.

If you don't understand, just ignore it and protect it first. Seifer looked at the other boxes.

If there's only one engine, why are all these boxes sent here? Could it be a replacement engine kit, or some external parts that are necessary to install this thing?
After all, the engine is bare, and it is really hard to imagine how it would work if it was put directly into the engine compartment.

Continuing to unpack the boxes, Leica, who was a little sleepy just now, is no longer sleepy at all. She should be staring at the boxes with wide eyes - when the second box was opened, what came into view, besides the buffer layer, was a... no, a huge cannon.

"This is... the 'Siege Engine' series promoted by the Phantom Mist Group. It's a grenade launcher specifically designed for mobile suits. The only drawback is that the grenade travels slowly and is heavy."

Cypher raised an eyebrow (finally able to do so). "What are the advantages?"

"The rest are all advantages. The destructive power and range of influence are extremely powerful. The market price is 360,000, not including ammunition."

Damn, that’s expensive.

This thing isn't even a shoulder-mounted firepower mount, but a real, hand-held weapon with an extremely long reload time. Of course, the power is also... provided it doesn't affect yourself.

It comes with a full set of ammunition, and the box is packed full. No wonder it can only be transported by conveyor belt and it is so big.

The next box contained a thing that looked like a small square shield, which was also a mounted weapon used by the body. Seifer looked at it for a few seconds and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

That’s right, now even this expression can be made!

"This thing looks like..."

Leica confirmed: "Well, this is not a weapon of the Phantom Mist Group. It is a specialized energy convergence device provided by the independent mercenary support system."

"It's also very high-level, and it puts a lot of strain on the machine... If you're going to use it, be careful; this weapon has a short attack range and can affect the machine's balance."

Melee weapons require a large rotation of the body's various structures, so it's very dangerous whether recovering or swinging again, right?

But think about it another way, this thing can even end the battle with one blow at close range.

Risks and opportunities coexist, although Cypher rarely... uh, probably, probably doesn't really engage in close combat, so long-range weapons are better.

The next box, which was also the last one, was opened by Cypher without much hope. Laika suddenly said, "Oh?"

"what happened?"

"Hmm... This weapon has a bit of a story behind it. Red Crossbow, are you familiar with 'super-limited weapons'?"

"What does over the limit mean?"

"Simply put, it's a weapon the mobile suit isn't suited to using. Most mobile suits can't even use this type of armament, so there are various restrictions on its use."

In the box before Cypher, the disassembled components made it difficult to discern the complete form, but the cannon barrel was unmistakable. And overall, the fact that it could fit into such a large box was a bit... well, a stretch. "It looks like an energy booster tank, with connecting racks and pipes, and an... electromagnetic weapon? Anyway, can such a weapon actually do any damage to my body?"

Having said this, Sefer suddenly paused.

He had used that weapon once before, in a vision where frost and snow were about to cover everything, and not only that, it even had a double effect.

Using nuclear fuel tanks as energy, the laser cannon is charged and then penetrates the protective outer layer of that thing. Although the energy of the body itself is temporarily exhausted, the power is truly impressive.

You know, when reviewing the game later, Cypher realized that it was a fortress-level defense. Theoretically, it was impossible for a single machine to penetrate it, unless the main gun on the Doomsday Train was used...

This weapon...

"Well, just as you expected, this one is also a prohibited weapon and is usually only used in medium and large firepower combat bases."

"It's as powerful as a main gun, but the price is that it must be equipped with an additional energy supply system, which consumes extremely high energy. But for the designers, this is a 'worthwhile price'."

Leica sent some information, which was the combat record of this weapon. It can be seen that after different mercenaries exhausted all their energy to open fire, the independent mercenaries on the opposite side did not even have the ability to resist.

In an instant, it was engulfed in strangely colored flames and completely melted.

Cypher was tempted—but then he remembered, "Why the user of this weapon? Could it be that this weapon is difficult to make?"

"Yes, weapons of this type are rarely seen in the desert. Take, for example, the 'Super Electromagnetic Tactical Nuclear Cannon' in your hand. It passed through seven mercenaries before reaching you."

"What about the seven people in front?"

"Deregister them all. You can order a drink using their code names at some of the bars the mercenaries like to hang out in memory of them."

Sefer had seen this kind of setting in a game played by his colleagues. It seemed to be called "Legend of Coconut Milk City".

So strictly speaking, this thing is a weapon that is very dangerous to the user... Then why was it sent to me?
"I think... maybe it just happened to be circulating nearby, so I gave it to you as an advance payment, Red Crossbow Arrow."

As if to comfort him, Laika thought for a moment, "At least... at least we can choose not to use it? This kind of weapon is very troublesome to use after installation, and it may even affect other mounted equipment."

That's for sure. The nuclear-fueled laser cannon destroyed the weapons on the other arm and shoulder before, so there's no reason why this thing won't do the same.

But after carefully measuring the size, Cypher substituted it into the body size and unexpectedly found that it was a little bit small... This is very interesting.

Different aircraft sizes have different mounting capabilities. This aircraft that I brought out from the vision may be able to be equipped with even vehicle-mounted heavy artillery if I grit my teeth.

Although it feels like a small vehicle carrying a big gun...but to be honest, if the 300mm main gun can't carry it, the 152 should be able to, right?
For some reason, a strange short-barreled, square-headed breastplate popped up in his mind. Seifer's expression twitched slightly. He closed the box and confirmed from the other side that this supply also included a large amount of ammunition.

"I did receive the support, though I can't thank the sponsor enough... The biggest problem now is how to equip the machine."

Seifer thought for a few seconds, and suddenly asked Leica if there were any books in the school that could allow a "mechanic" to be transformed into a weapon craftsman within three hours?
The answer is obviously impossible.

　Thank you Hongxiu Manwu for the 100,000 yuan reward! Thank you, thank you...
