Chapter 129 The Imminent Annihilation War
After selecting the air units, Lorraine began looking for suitable ground units. Out of habit, he first opened the mechanical dog's configuration and checked its various stats.
[General Purpose Type I Mechanical Dog - Modified]
[Maximum speed: 7 meters per second]
Maximum walking speed: 3 meters per second
[Idle battery life: 6 hours]
[Effective payload battery life: 3.5 hours]
Weight: 40 kg
Payload: 40 kg
Maximum load: 90 kg
[Sensors: 4 LiDAR sensors, 1 wide-angle cameras]
[Fixed variants: Striking type equipped with rifle, Assault type equipped with flamethrower, Support type equipped with flying grenades.]
Upon seeing the mechanical dog's data, Lorraine frowned and found the data of the Heavenly Dog and the Listening Beast as a reference.
After comparing the options, Lorraine decisively abandoned the plan.
The mechanical dog's performance is average, but its manufacturing cost is relatively high, close to 50% of that of the Tengu, while its combat effectiveness is only 30% of that of the Tengu.
Lorraine decisively removed this plan from the shortlist of unmanned combat clusters and continued to look for suitable ground combat units.
As he prepared to present the tracked unmanned combat vehicle proposal, he caught a glimpse of the manufacturer of wheeled unmanned combat vehicles.
"Are these two companies manufactured by the same company? Are they part of a coordinated operational unit?"
As Lorraine pondered this, she opened the plans for the two unmanned combat vehicles.
Tracked Unmanned Combat Vehicle - Modified
Total weight: 60 kg
Load capacity: 80 kg
【Dimensions: 850mm * 720mm * 400mm】
Walking speed: 5.1 meters per second
Minimum ground clearance: 115 mm
[Climbing angle: 30 degrees]
【Range: 40 km / 8 hours (payload range)】
[Sensors: 4 LiDAR sensors, 2 wide-angle cameras]
It has significant modification potential and can be equipped with currently available individual soldier weapons and equipment.
"The cost is relatively low, the passability is good, and there is a lot of room for modification. The only drawback is that the movement speed is relatively slow."
Lorraine added it to the list of options, then looked at the last one.
[Wheel-mounted unmanned vehicle - modification]
Total weight: 40 kg
Load capacity: 55 kg
【Dimensions: 730mm * 590mm * 320mm】
Walking speed: 7.8 meters per second
Minimum ground clearance: 135 mm
[Climbing angle: 25 degrees]
【Range: 40 km / 8 hours (payload range)】
[Sensors: 4 LiDAR sensors, 2 wide-angle cameras]
It has significant modification potential and can be equipped with most individual soldier gear.
Looking at the familiar data, Lorraine's eyes twitched slightly. Clearly, this was a complementary approach to the previous plan.
However, after careful consideration, the combination of these two unmanned combat vehicles best matches Lorraine's expectations.
After Lorraine added the two types of unmanned combat vehicles to the production list, he began searching the database for modules that could enhance the combat capabilities of the unmanned combat vehicles.
After entering the requirements into the search bar and waiting a short while, several combat and functional modules that can be adapted to these two types of unmanned combat vehicles appeared on the screen.

[Visible light effective range: 4100 meters (3.5*3.5m target)]

[Note: Its built-in AI can autonomously identify targets.]
Faced with a long list of information, Lorraine carefully examined the data of these combat and functional modules.
After some deliberation, he removed the flame launcher and flying grenade launcher modules and added all the remaining modules to the production sequence to enrich the combat methods and information capabilities of the unmanned combat swarm.
After confirming that there were no more modules to choose from, Lorraine began to estimate the number of enemy battle groups based on the limited information available.
However, after thinking for a long time, Lorraine realized that based on the existing data, it was impossible to determine the number of extraterrestrial life forms.
Left with no other option, Lorraine could only give Cleveland some relatively detailed instructions.
"Cleveland, deploy unmanned combat groups based on the enemy's scenario of medium-sized individuals leading a large number of small individuals in coordinated combat."
"First, an unmanned combat group should have assault teams, fire support teams, reconnaissance teams, information teams, and engineering teams."
"Second, the combat group is required to be able to form a self-organizing network to complete the predetermined mission objectives even when offline."
"Third, when high-risk enemy units appear, the combat group can flexibly change its combat methods and continue to carry out combat missions."
"Fourth, it requires unmanned combat groups to have sufficient firepower sustainability."
[The command has been entered; unmanned combat swarm planning is underway. Should production begin immediately upon completion of configuration?]
Upon seeing Cleveland's message, Lorraine waved his hand, indicating that Cleveland didn't need to be in such a hurry.
"We'll start production after we send out a reconnaissance plane tomorrow to gather specific information."
【receive. 】
Cleveland then provided Lorraine with a materials list, the header of which indicated the material consumption of a group of unmanned combat swarms.
Lorraine looked at the list and pondered for a moment before activating the flagship's radio communication system, switching to a directional antenna, and sending radio waves toward the shipyard.
"This is Liu Haiyang, Commander. What are your orders?"
"I've discovered some uncontrollable crises here, and I need you to complete two tasks."
Upon receiving the call, Lorraine didn't mince words and got straight to the point.
"First, I need you to speed up the maintenance of the Sea Knight, select suitable combat personnel, and get it into combat readiness as soon as possible."
"Secondly, I need you to transport materials back from the port. The required materials and their warehouses are as follows."
Lorraine dictated the information recorded by Cleveland to Liu Haiyang.
"Received. We will begin deploying personnel immediately. The operation is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. tomorrow."
"Hard."
After hanging up the communication, Lorraine yawned widely and then dragged his somewhat tired body back to his cabin.
Because the samples of the extraterrestrial life forms obtained by Lorraine were juveniles, they did not obtain all the information about the extraterrestrial life forms.
After the apocalypse, the electromagnetic environment inside the planet became extremely clean. Although directional antennas were used on both sides, some of the radio waves from this communication still escaped.
500 kilometers away in the mine, the mother body, which was feeding on raw ore and soil, raised its head and looked toward the coast. After a few short radio transmissions, a medium-sized individual with a metal-covered torso and a 60mm electromagnetic cannon on its shoulder emerged.
Behind it followed several small individuals that walked upright and had a small-caliber electromagnetic gun on their shoulders.
After a period of silent communication, the small team composed of these alien life forms of varying sizes and with distinct social classes set off towards the coast.
If you record the direction they are moving in and draw the extended lines, you will find that their destination is not a shipyard or a high-tech industrial base.
