Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 351 Asymmetric Warfare

"Come on, it's time to show the world what true future warfare is!"

Perhaps it's because he himself has never had the experience of piloting a Gundam to confront a modern armed force head-on.

Watching the three Gundams speeding by in the video, Luca, who knew that most countries in the world would be watching them, felt a rare surge of excitement.

In the video, the first to engage the enemy was the 'Dark Goddess Gundam 01' piloted by Samira, which flew towards the aircraft carrier fleet on the sea.

Yes, although the 'Dark Goddess Gundam' powered by the 'Hellfire' carries the risk of corrupting the pilot into a demon, the pilot suit made of special materials can offset and isolate this risk.

A skilled Gundam pilot, using a dedicated Battle Haro to control the Gundam, is clearly more threatening than a simple AI pilot.

Just after 'Dark Goddess 01' arrived near the surface carrier fleet.

The black Gundam, which was originally flying at high speed, suddenly stopped as if it were not subject to any inertial constraints, and hovered steadily in the air.

This is also one of the most obvious characteristics of the 'GN Drive Gundam'.

Driven by special particles, they possess an absurdly high degree of agility and maneuverability during mecha movements.

Clearly, the Black Gundam powered by 'Hell Particles' also inherits this characteristic.

Another characteristic of 'GN particles' is that when they are released, they can greatly interfere with radar signals.

This is why, even after 'Dark Goddess 01' had flown to within the enemy's line of sight, these fleets still did not launch a long-range attack first.

At this moment, the black Gundam, seemingly frozen in mid-air, did not launch a direct attack on the fleet below. Instead, it first activated a wide-area communication channel and carried out pre-battle 'surrender' work according to the original plan.

"Listen up, officers of the forward fleet, we are not the enemy!"

"The Skrulls fabricate lies and incite conflict! They attempt to enslave the Earth! You should not become pawns in their conspiracy!"

"Now I urge you all to lay down your weapons and stop advancing!"

"The Orange Group will accept your surrender later, otherwise..."

Inside the Gundam cockpit, Samira had only just begun her speech and was about to continue.

The aircraft carrier fleet below seems to have already made its own response.

On the two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers located in the center of the fleet, carrier-based aircraft quickly took off from the deck runway.

Meanwhile, the dozen or so destroyers escorting the aircraft carrier directly relied on optical aiming, adjusting all their cannons to point at the Gundam in the air.

However, for fleet commanders, choosing to use cannons to aim at the enemy was actually a last resort.

Logically speaking, in naval warfare, due to the fluctuations of the waves, the hit rate of live-fire artillery attacks is actually quite "imperfect" compared to ground warfare.

Not to mention that the targets to be attacked are 'small' targets like Gundam mechs, which are only a dozen meters tall.

There was nothing they could do. Even though they could see the black mechs in the air with the naked eye, their shipborne radar still showed nothing.

In this situation, apart from specialized infrared-guided missiles, only more traditional optically-aimed artillery seems to be a more reliable option.

However, what surprised the fleet commander was...

Even though their own fleet had made it quite obvious that they were turning their guns around, the black mech on the other side seemed to have no reaction at all.

'Could it be that the optical camera on this mech is too inaccurate, unable to detect any movement on the warship from this distance?'

Just as the fleet commander was thinking this, all the gun barrels had already been aimed.

In an instant, more than a dozen destroyers opened fire.

The roar was incessant. Large-caliber anti-ship guns, medium-caliber shipborne close-in weapon systems, small-caliber multi-barreled machine guns, and even a small number of short-range anti-aircraft missiles that were merely used as makeshift weapons.

Dense points of light merged into one in the air.

Centered on the black mecha, the shells drew continuous cone-shaped barrages in the air.

Black smoke from anti-aircraft shells completely obscured the sky, and more shells flew over the barrage, exploding into towering columns of water on the distant sea.

Such a dense barrage of attacks left even the aircraft that had just taken off from the carrier somewhat helpless, and they could only maneuver and circle in the air in vain to avoid being accidentally hit by friendly fire.

However, the sound of gunfire did not last long.

After all, in naval warfare, a target of a dozen meters is simply too insignificant. In such a dense barrage of bullets, without radar guidance, the aircraft carrier fleet cannot even confirm whether its attack has caused effective damage.

But trusting in his own firepower coverage, the fleet commander, holding his binoculars, thought to himself.

'It should be resolved by now, right? Even if the accuracy was lacking, with such concentrated firepower...'

Not only him, but also other people around the world who were remotely watching this battle seemed to have similar thoughts.

However, just when everyone thought that way...

Amidst the dense flames and smoke in the sky, a black figure suddenly rushed out at high speed.

Its high mobility generated airflow that even caused the smoke and dust from the explosion behind the black mech to follow it like a tide.

At this moment, the figure emerging from the smoke showed no scratches whatsoever on its surface.

Even during the rapid sprint, it continued to issue an extremely cold declaration.

"The target refuses to surrender!"

"Operation annihilation, commence!"

The chilling, mechanical sound seemed to drown out the still-roaring cannon fire, reaching everyone's ears.

It was at this moment that everyone realized why the enemy had not dodged or evaded at all, and had not suffered any damage in the face of this overwhelming barrage of artillery fire.

At this moment, the black mech actually braved the incoming artillery fire and charged directly to the outermost escort destroyer of the fleet.

No matter what caliber of shells hit this mech, they can't leave a scratch, let alone deflect its trajectory in the air by even the slightest bit.

Suddenly, the black mech that had rushed close reached out a large hand and grabbed the multi-barrel cannon that was still firing at it.

Under what seemed like a casual pull or tug.

"boom--"

Amidst the flashes and fire of the explosion, the metal turret, already crackling with electricity, was ripped off by the mecha's massive hand.

Subsequently, it was not seen that the mecha used any weapons.

With a simple clench of his fists, he flattened the metal turret into a twisted, deformed giant iron ball, and tossed it toward the bridge of the destroyer.

"boom----"

A huge explosion of fire erupted, and water columns shot into the sky from all around.

A destroyer costing billions of dollars was destroyed and sunk so easily, as if it were a toy.
