    Chapter 199 The prologue begins

    The metal arch slowly opened with a harsh creaking sound.

    Seated in dust for a long time, the huge alloy arch of the laboratory has been integrated with the rock on the top.  When the laboratory was opened again, raindrops of gravel slid from the cave roof, and the perfect dream world became fragmented. The falling rocks hit the cold and biting water, and the splashes reflected the final splendor.  The originally silent cave seemed to suddenly wake up from a deep sleep. Frightened strange creatures emerged from their shelters and fled in all directions. After a long time, the arrival of humans once again broke the tranquility here.

    When the last soldier walked into this ancient laboratory, the alloy door slammed shut.  A sergeant major checked the surrounding environment with a handheld life detector and signaled to the soldiers that they could take off their heavy individual armor.  After many years, this secret laboratory transformed from a natural cave hidden underground is still well preserved. The biolight on the metal-reinforced steel frame at the top of the cave is as bright as before; the automatic dust removal system and air replacement device make a slight buzzing sound.  It's functioning normally; huge nano-films cover various sealed scientific instruments of unknown purpose, spotless; the passage of time does not seem to have left any traces of staying here.

    The soldiers looked around curiously. Everything here looked not much different from a modern science laboratory.  Yi Lexiang led several technical soldiers to the giant computer located in the center of the laboratory.  Today, with the rapid development of miniaturization, this bulky ancient computer has long become a display in museums.  A security officer and two assistants began to check the optical cable connection behind the central computer and installed a security box they brought; according to the operation manual provided by Yi Lexiang, the technicians simultaneously began to reconnect all the equipment.  stand up.

    "General, why do we have to enter this secret laboratory?" The technical soldiers opened various equipment one by one according to the operation manual. Compared with modern times, some of these equipment have not yet fully realized fully automatic and intelligent operation.

    "In order to bring our mecha." Yi Lexiang sat in front of the central computer and carefully pressed a few buttons. After a few low beeps, the central computer started the self-test program.

    "Ah!?" Yi Lexiang's reply was not loud, but his voice still aroused the interest of most soldiers in the confined space.

    As the capital of the Republic of Charno, the security of the capital planet is extremely tight. The infiltrating combat team can only temporarily hide all heavy weapons and mechas in hidden spots in the asteroid belt.  This made the soldiers who had long been accustomed to fighting in mechas feel somewhat uneasy.  Mechas have long become an indispensable part of their lives. Without mechas, their comrades who share life and death, it always feels like something is missing.  Now everyone is a little excited to hear that Yi Lexiang seems to have a way to get the mecha to the capital planet.

    "In addition to studying the underground ecosystem outside, this laboratory also has another important role." Yi Lexiang, who is waiting for the self-examination, explained, "The Academy of Sciences has been studying "remote entity transmission technology." This technology was originally  The purpose is to launch armed robots at remote fixed points. However, after the "Great Disaster", the Interstellar Convention began to prohibit the research and manufacture of armed robots, and this research was also shelved indefinitely. However, before sealing this place, they were here  A test machine was built.¡±

    "'Remote entity transmission technology', this promising technology will be shelved indefinitely?" Several technical soldiers tinkered with the instruments in their hands and asked in confusion.

    "In fact, only the research on launching armed robots has been terminated, and related technical research work has not stopped. However, without military funding, research on this technology has progressed very slowly. Most civilian funders are not very interested in this technology.  Interesting. Compared with cheap interstellar transport ships, this technology not only has a small transport volume but also consumes astronomical amounts of energy each time. In order to achieve fixed-point transmission, a hugely expensive central control center is necessary, and it also needs to provide  A fixed transmission device is built at each transmission point and there is a limit on the distance." Yi Lexiang shrugged helplessly.

    In fact, he also found similar technology and device design drawings from the mental library and they are quite complete and can be used for military and civilian purposes.  But the problem is that driving this equipment requires a special catalyst, and this catalyst substance is something that humans have not yet mastered.  Although the researchers at the Academy of Sciences are coveting this device, they have no solution, and it is as elusive as a castle in the air.

    "So we have a secret hiding spot to hide the mecha." Several technicians had expressions of surprise on their faces.

    Yi Lexiang smiled and nodded.  "But since this is just a test machine, I can't guarantee whether it can be successfully transmitted."

    "No way." A wailing sound came. These new biological mechas are the lifeblood of the soldiers. Now?Hearing Yi Lexiang's answer, everyone's faces immediately became clouded.

    ¡°What happens if you fail?¡±

    "Did it fail?" Yi Lexiang thought for a while, "Then I don't know where it will be teleported? I hope it won't hit anyone!"

    Yi Lexiang¡¯s black humor once again attracted countless eye rolls, but Yi Lexiang¡¯s ease undoubtedly told everyone that the probability of failure should be very low.

    After all the instruments were connected and tested, Yi Lexiang checked it again personally.  In any case, the reliability of these antique-level equipment is always worrying.  Researchers from the Academy of Sciences have repeatedly assured that the original experimental records show that the success rate of "remote entity transmission" can reach more than 90%, but that was more than a hundred years ago. As for now, only God knows.

    There is only one chance.

    ¡°At first, when the old dean suggested that this test machine could be used, both Yi Lexiang and Lieutenant General Bu Yun were hesitant.  The cost of these biological mechas is enough to drive ordinary people crazy, not to mention that without the cooperation of these mechas, the entire surprise attack would have failed. However, after countless deductions and judgments, they still had to return to the old dean's house.  Offer to come up.  The security measures on Capital Star can be described as seamless, and there is no way to transport heavy weapons like mechas inside.

    With everything ready, Yi Lexiang slowly placed his palm on the red button on the console. He was a little nervous.  The soldiers who had been sitting on the ground to rest all stood up now, nervously staring at Yi Lexiang's palm that had not yet fallen. Yi Lexiang's ubiquitous perception could even detect that some soldiers were so nervous that they forgot to breathe.

    When Yi Lexiang's palm slowly fell, everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath.  The central control system made a low beeping sound, and various signal lights in the laboratory began to flash wildly.

    A dazzling light slowly bloomed in front of everyone's eyes at a speed that violated the laws of physics. A huge energy position enveloped the entire teleportation cabin.  Under the gaze of everyone, the transmission cabin made of high-strength alloy began to twist and deform, becoming illusory like a mirage. The last dazzling incandescent light suddenly burst out, and everything returned to calm again.

    "Did it succeed?" The soldiers exchanged anxious looks.

    Several technical soldiers rushed forward and forcefully opened the sealed transmission hatch, and rows of neatly parked mechas appeared in front of everyone.

    "Aha! Success!" The soldiers cheered.

    "Everyone, check the performance of the mecha immediately!" Yi Lexiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The most uncontrollable step in the entire plan was finally completed successfully.  Now the rest is up to them.

    "Do you understand your respective tasks?" Yi Lexiang asked as he moved his fingers from the holographic tactical map.

    "Understood." The neat answer echoed in the laboratory.

    "Your mission is not to conquer these energy supply centers, I repeat." Yi Lexiang's eyes showed irresistible power, "The capital star's garrison can be deployed to every part of the planet at the same time within thirty minutes.  Even if simultaneous attacks will cause them some trouble, according to the staff's calculations, their reinforcements will arrive within one Earth hour at the latest, but the time I give you is even shorter, only forty-five minutes. Forty-five minutes.  Within five minutes, you must install this sensor in all energy supply centers. This is a joint operation, and the failure of any one place represents the failure of the entire combat operation. Our agents lurking on the capital star will be there  Act at the same time at the scheduled time and create all kinds of troubles to divert the enemy's attention. My request to you is very simple. Complete the mission at all costs within forty-five minutes; if it exceeds forty-five minutes, you must evacuate regardless of whether the mission is completed or not. This  It is the highest tactical principle and must be obeyed. Do you have any questions?"

    Yi Lexiang's eyes swept across the faces of each combat group commander. There was no hesitation on their faces, only perseverance.

    "It is now two thirty-four in the morning. You have twelve hours to march to the designated location to make final preparations. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the world launches an attack at the same time. This time happens to be the meal time of the military camp. I hope it will give you some relief.  Pressure. After leaving the secret laboratory, all communication equipment is shut down and the highest level of communication silence is implemented. Everything is on your own."

    The roar of the mecha gradually faded away, and the secret laboratory fell into silence again.  Yi Lexiang stared at the tall black shadow gradually disappearing in silence. He didn't know when this damn war would end, and he didn't know how many times his soldiers would have to carry out missions like this one with a near-death life.  He only knew that less than half of the three thousand mechas that initially followed him were left. He only knew that he would have to experience the pain of losing his comrades many more times. He only knew that the war could only end through war.
