Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 236 Clash Between Mobile Suit Soldiers (4K)

Li Ye immediately became excited.

"really?"

The recruitment is over, which means the alliance will receive its rewards tomorrow.

"The operation will begin in two days. Hurry back and prepare," Heath said.

After returning to the Tomorrow, Li Ye gathered everyone to discuss the battle plan.

This offensive operation mainly involved naval and air battles.

Tomorrow's Alliance will face off against an enemy's Tier 3 mobile city combat cluster.

this means:

A level 3 assault city capable of deploying land, sea, and air combat forces.

Several Level 3 configured Level 1 mobile cities of various types.

The first point of discussion among everyone was air superiority.

The current configuration of Tomorrow's flight unit is relatively complete, which is reassuring.

Both naval and land forces now possess their own main combat vehicles, enabling them to handle both naval and land battles.

In fact, Tomorrow's "tech tree" has gone astray.

Compared to its land, sea, and air combat forces, its special forces are actually the most comprehensively equipped.

Assuming that the air combat capabilities of both sides are equal and that they will restrain each other, everyone began to discuss naval warfare.

Naval warfare, which involves the confrontation between the two fleets and mobile cities, is considered the main battlefield.

Lin Wu then presented his own plan.

Create a large number of mechanical squid to launch surprise attacks and destroy the enemy fleet.

至于敌人的1级移动城市，在3级动力引擎、3级推进器、3级螺旋桨和3级船壳的加持下，机械乌贼是很难逮到它的。

When the war begins, the Tomorrow Alliance fleet will be responsible for opening fire and drawing enemy fire, while the mechanical squid will be responsible for stealthy raids.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

If we can take down the enemy's Tier 3 fleet, the pressure of naval warfare will be reduced by more than half.

As for amphibious operations
As long as humanity can gain air and sea supremacy, that level 3 monster-infested island will be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

Li Ye arrived at the production workshop and began the manufacturing process.

During the previous tourism period in the old civilization zone, the Tomorrow Alliance amassed a huge amount of metal resources, and now they have more than enough steel.

So he created 10 more mechanical squids and two frozen helicopters. Combined with the previous ones, the number of mechanical squids now reached 14.

The pilots for the 10 mechanical squids have also been arranged.

Since the population expanded to 50,000, Tomorrow no longer faces the problem of insufficient manpower.

With the order of Li Ye, the War Committee specifically selected and trained pilots and operators of land, sea and air vehicles on the Tomorrow.

Not only are the active land, sea and air vehicles fully equipped, but a number of reserves have also been left behind.

The pilots of this mechanical squid were from the reserve force.

Therefore, Li Ye specifically sought out and spoke with these ten people.

“This time, the role you can play will far exceed your expectations,” he said slowly. “Lying lurking underwater like ghosts, you will silently approach the enemy fleet and destroy its ships. In addition, if you discover enemy submarines, you can take immediate action.”

One of the drivers thought for a moment and then asked a question.

"My lord, can the mechanical squid attack the enemy's mobile cities?"

"This won't do." Li Ye shook his head gently.

A level 1 mobile city is much larger than a ship, not to mention a level 3 mobile city.

Although he was rejected by the driver, he still did not give up.

“It’s not about destroying the mobile cities,” he explained. “We just need to maneuver the mechanical squid to get close to them and then use their tentacles to destroy their thrusters and propellers.”

Li Ye's eyes lit up immediately.

The opponent's ideas broadened his strategic thinking.

Destroying the mobility of a mobile city through a mechanical squid raid is indeed possible.

Once the enemy's mobile cities are brought to a standstill, the Peacemaker can be deployed to use its electromagnetic railgun to pick off enemy targets.

In this way, the mechanical squid will become the Tomorrow Alliance's trump card in naval warfare.

"If the plan includes countering mobile cities, 10 mechanical squids probably won't be enough; we'll need to build a few more," he thought.

Ultimately, he still had some concerns.

First, mechanical squid are ultimately sea vehicles and cannot function on land or in the air, so it would be bad to allocate too many resources to build them all at once.

However, it has one advantage: its size and cross-sectional area are not large, so it can be loaded into the Tomorrow's vehicle warehouse when not in use.

Secondly, while the idea of ​​destroying the mobility of mobile cities is indeed feasible, in combat, both sides' mobile cities are moving at high speeds and firing.

Especially the Tier 1 mobile city with Tier 3 configuration, it's practically flying.

Catching the mechanical squid is like winning the lottery.

In the end, he made up his mind to leave the field.

"Let's stick with the current scale."

While the production workshop and shipyard were operating, Li Ye himself was not idle. He went straight to the city simulation training cabin.

He entered a series of parameters on the screen.

Number of trainees: 1

[Weapons wielded: None]

[Target Location: Ocean]

[Enemy Type: Standard Tier 3 Mobile Urban Combat Cluster]

Number of enemies:

[Combat Difficulty: Hell]

Upon seeing the number of enemies, Li Ye fell into deep thought.

"Generally speaking, how many people are in a standardized Tier 3 mobile urban combat group?"

Previously, when fighting against the city clusters of the Gnoll civilization in the Basin region, the other side had sent in ground troops.

But now we're at sea.

Let's set the number at 3000 for now.

Not only that, but Li Ye also inputted the military force currently possessed by the Tomorrow Alliance.

Back when Tomorrow was still at level 1 or 2, it was relatively easy for Liye to command troops in combat.

The city battles in level 3 mobile cities are equivalent to modern warfare, or even more so, so Li Ye himself needs to undergo high-intensity simulated command training.

After dozens of simulations, Li Ye reached a conclusion.

The mechanical squid tactic is indeed feasible.

A surprise attack on and destruction of the enemy fleet is almost guaranteed, and on a few occasions, I even managed to snag a level 1 enemy city.

After summarizing, he continued his training.

After all, the higher the level of a mobile city, the less it can afford to lose a city battle. Two days later, in the Southern Ocean.

On the vast and boundless sea, a colossal object is slowly cleaving the calm surface.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a monster-moving island.

Like human ships, it is equipped with a giant hull that stretches for several kilometers, with hundreds of propellers and thrusters at the rear.

In addition, there are giant armor plate bases, retractable giant hydraulic supports, and giant power engines.
There are a total of 7 level 1-2 monster civilizations stationed on the moving island.

At this moment, the mobile island is on high alert.

The monsters already knew that the human forces were about to attack.

On the island, a whole squad of mobile suits has been activated.

They consist of two air combat versions and two naval combat versions.

The naval version's configuration is basically the same as the Iron Brotherhood's UM-K7.

The air combat version is quite different.

Aside from the nuclear reactor common to Level 4 mobile suits, high-energy capacitor batteries as backup power, and vector thrusters, air combat mobile suits also possess giant attitude vector thrust wings, a plasma fluid control system, and a deformable wing system.
Its weapon system includes a high-energy pulse sniper cannon, a multi-launcher missile bay, a high-frequency vibration saber, a tactical shield, an electronic warfare pod, a wrist-mounted rapid-fire cannon, and a bomb bay equipped with a series of bombs.
Naval mobile suits were launched and submerged, while the scenes of air combat mobile suits in action were much more magnificent.

Their massive attitude vector propulsion wings on their backs unfurled with a roar, each wing panel resembling the wings of a dragon.

Amidst the roar of the hydraulic system, the propeller completed a 90-degree pitch adjustment.

The nuclear reactor injects surging energy into the thrusters, and plasma erupts violently from the nozzles, with blue-white exhaust flames tearing out distorted ripples in the air.

As the monster pilot slammed the control stick, the ground beneath the mech cracked instantly, and all twelve leg thrusters ignited simultaneously, launching the mobile suit into the sky at a near-vertical angle.

At the moment of ejection, the plasma fluid system is activated, and a spiderweb-like blue light path appears on the surface of the machine. The mobile suit rushes into the sky like a ghost.

As it reached high altitude and hovered, the dorsal propellers slowly transformed into swept wings in cruise mode.

Inside the cockpit, both monster pilots looked at the screen simultaneously.

Two bright spots were clearly visible there.

This is an aerial combat mobile suit from the human side.

This time, the Iron Oath Brotherhood also dispatched a squad of mobile suits.

The air combat versions were designated "AM-W2" and "AM-T5".

The naval battle variants are "UM-K7" and "UM-O8".

The mobile suits of both sides then engaged in combat in the air and underwater.

AM-W2 took the lead and headed towards the enemy's first air combat aircraft.

The nuclear reactors of both sides roared deafeningly, and the giant vector thrusters on their backs simultaneously deflected, causing the aircraft to suddenly climb at a near-vertical angle. The plasma fluid control system emitted a ghostly blue electric light on the surface of the aircraft.

As the pilot of Unit 1 pushed the control stick, the twelve auxiliary thrusters on the legs of the machine simultaneously erupted, and the machine streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning. The missile bays mounted on the machine opened instantly, and dozens of missiles poured out like a swarm of bees.

AM-W2 immediately activated its electronic warfare pod to intercept the missile swarm, while its main thruster operated at overclocked speed, and the blue-white tail flame of the nozzle suddenly extended to 100 meters, thus completing a near-perfect Cobra maneuver in the air. The high-frequency vibrating saber that popped out from its right arm quickly completed its assembly.

AM-W2 swung its high-frequency vibrating saber, slashing at the enemy's machine with a piercing buzz. The enemy, in turn, drew its saber to meet the attack.

The two mobile suits collided violently in the clouds, their swords clashing and sparking a dazzling burst of light.

In that instant, AM-W2 adjusted its right arm at an odd angle, and the rapid-fire machine gun mounted on the arm opened fire.

However, the enemy aircraft had anticipated this and suddenly maneuvered backward, dodging the incoming crimson bullet chain.

At the same time, it picked up the pulse sniper cannon at an extremely fast speed, waiting for an opportunity to aim and fire at close range.

AM-W2 quickly maneuvered to avoid the enemy.

Meanwhile, AM-W2 also engaged in combat with the enemy's second unit.

The four mobile suits engaged in fierce combat in the air, the roars of the nuclear reactors mingling together, and the exhaust plumes from the propulsion machines drawing complex and varied trajectories in the sky.

High in the sky, these steel giants began to write the most violent epic.

Underwater, the two sides' naval mobile suits also clashed.

Compared to high altitudes, underwater environments are dark and deep, obstructing visibility and making it difficult to spot enemies.

The first step for both mobile suits is to hide themselves and find the enemy.

The monster's first and second naval mobile suits slowly advanced underwater.

The pilots switched the aircraft to silent mode, suppressing the hum of the hydraulic system to its limit.

The nuclear reactor of the machine operates at minimum power, and the thrusters spew out fine bubbles, leaving a fleeting trail in the dark water.

The sonar system continuously scanned the surroundings, and the undulating ripples on the display screen outlined the topography of the seabed.

While the search was underway, the mobile suits' weapons were all ready.

The supercavitating torpedo launcher has been fully charged, and the propeller at the tail of the torpedo is rotating silently.

The plasma pulse gun flickered with a faint blue light.

The net launcher is in standby mode, ready to unleash deadly alloy netting at any time.

Just then, the system suddenly detected two fast-moving points of light in the distance.

The monster pilot immediately became alert.

Enemy unit detected!

From which direction will they attack?

To their surprise, the two enemy planes completely ignored them and headed straight for one direction.

Following the path of the light spots, the monster pilots determined their target.

Level 3 moving island.

They were suddenly startled and quickly gave chase.

Upon learning the calculation results, the monster pilot's heart sank.

The enemy's aircraft have one minute to strike before they can catch up and intercept them.

At this very moment, alarms were blaring on the island.

The island's torpedo launching system was activated, and dozens of torpedo silos rose to their elevation angle amidst the roar of machinery, while the giant power engine at the center of the island frantically injected energy into the torpedo propulsion system.

As the launch sequence was completed, hundreds of torpedoes were fired simultaneously. These deadly weapons tore through the seawater at speeds of 200 knots, weaving a deathly barrage before the two human mobile suits.

UM-K7 and UM-O8 immediately began evasion operations.

This time, both the island monster defenders and the pilots were intently watching the screen.

Under their watchful eyes, an aircraft broke through the torpedo blockade and penetrated behind the moving island!

That was none other than UM-K7, the mobile suit that launched the first attack.

The supercavitating torpedo launchers on the machine were activated instantly, and multiple specially designed armor-piercing torpedoes were launched at a speed of 200 knots. The mobile island quickly activated its energy shield device to intercept them.

The device is not level 3, but level 4!
The torpedo was successfully intercepted, and the shockwave from the explosion caused the seawater to tremble violently.

But UM-K7 had already anticipated this.

Suddenly, a high-frequency vibrating cutting blade popped out from its arm armor, vibrating at a frequency of tens of thousands of times per second, and swung straight at the energy barrier!

At the moment of impact, a gap appeared in the energy barrier.

As UM-K7 accelerated its operation, the gap widened, eventually leading to its collapse!
In the cockpit, the pilot spoke in a deep voice.

"UM-K7, begin destroying the target's mobility!"
