Chapter 1658 Preliminary Test
The battlefield is probably always the place that is most sensitive to the times and technological changes.
Especially in modern history, the error rate of pre-war predictions is too high.
Often after a war has started, some people start to wonder, “How could war become like this?” and “Isn’t this a toy? How could it possibly go to the battlefield?”
Often, there will be a period of time after a war when countries completely update their technology, equipment and even tactics. Large-scale layoffs or major changes in the military are, in the final analysis, a transition from an "outdated" military structure to a new era.
".Come and see the new era."
Dark clouds pressed down above Lu Ping'an's head.
Killing is not a game, but the drones that look like small toys turn war into a "game".
One drone after another locked onto the fishmen’s military camps and patrol teams.
The dark clouds found their respective targets with clear division of labor.
They descended from the sky like a swarm of bees. When the leading queen bee turned on the fire control system and launched a simple and crude firepower tilt, at least a dozen "AI sub-machines" locked onto the target from other directions.
After a burst of silenced gunfire, all that was left on the ground was a piece of minced meat and blood.
If there are more targets, they will allocate the targets among themselves, and when their crude ammunition rations are exhausted, a simple and direct suicide detonation can almost certainly take one away.
They aren't very strong on their own, and a normal Murloc Warrior can easily take down a few of them, but when the sky is full of them, you can still get a few more javelins out before they fall.
There is no mercy and no need for screening. As long as the foreign ethnic groups still exist on the map, they will automatically become targets for killing.
Finding, locking, and killing is cruel and efficient. The cold and efficient killing machine makes people wonder whether the controller behind it really regards it as an e-sport.
".Take me to your camp. We are just passing by this battlefield. Let us see if we can do anything to help you during this time."
In the background, a swarm of drones is still scrubbing the ground at high speed.
From time to time, a high-level fishman will burst out fighting desperately, and the next moment, he will be greeted by more snipers, high-level combat forces and even idle rule-level people.
The map was being cleaned at a high speed. The new era technology was fully put into the battlefield for the first time, and it achieved results that surprised even the users themselves.
Even though the staff and simulators repeatedly emphasized the actual combat effectiveness of the new-era drone swarms, their memories were still of various World War II movies and hand-to-hand combat in foreign lands, and they really did not expect the effect to be so good.
This wave of attacks ended quickly. When the first batch of drones went back to recharge and replenish ammunition, several core battlefields in the mountains became clean.
Pools of blood and minced meat on the ground are the only answer. A large number of drone wreckage are being recovered by special personnel.
The battlefield, which had always been a scene of fierce fighting in the past, fell into an eerie calm this time. Even Lu Ping'an felt a little scalp-tingling when he saw the results of the battle.
"So many creatures above the Command level, and some at the Rule level." The death of ordinary fishmen was expected, but the large-scale harvesting of high-level life forms was somewhat unexpected.
In front of these fleets of machines, even a lone Command-level warrior, unless his flesh and blood were invulnerable to swords and guns, could only take away some consumables. The fact that a Rule-level warrior also died in this environment was a bit beyond everyone's expectations.
"If we clear out everyone around him, he will be exposed. We have more people against fewer people, so we can solve the problem quickly."
"Without any reinforcements or even friendly forces, being beaten to death alone on the battlefield is a bit tragic."
The actual combat result was the most effective gift. This scene also resulted in an outrageous harvest of heads, which made Lu Ping'an and his party happy, but they also cherished the rare opportunity of this raid.
Everyone knows that new weapons are most effective the first time they are used. Targeted weapons and preventive measures will appear sooner or later, and even the most useful weapons and tactics will lose their effectiveness as the war continues.
Even if the fishmen cannot come up with targeted weapons such as "drone jammers" and "EMP" in the short term, they will find all kinds of imaginative and crude ways to deal with it, and the effect will naturally not be so good at that time.
"What about losses?"
"It's negligible. With this level of resistance, we're producing faster than we consume."
Lu Ping'an checked and found that the war damage was about 2 aircraft. It looks impressive, but in fact the war damage was less than %. With the current production capacity of Longyue Island, it can be replenished within two days.
"Where's the ammunition?"
"Do you know how many munitions yards there are on Longyue Island? What they are most worried about now is that the munitions piles are too high and there will be an accidental discharge."
Now, Lu Ping'an somewhat understood the rogue way of playing this game. Minerals, industrial bases, and arms industries are a real complete set that can consume you for your entire life.
This first encounter was more one-sided than anyone expected.
The battle between the top forces in the sky also ended, and no kill was achieved. After all, the quasi-god wanted to escape, and it was difficult to intercept him without sufficient configuration.
However, with this one million-dollar attack, the situation on the battlefield was definitely reversed.
In the end, including the main force and the civilians, at least 2.5 million drones of various types and various high-level combat forces were launched in the attack. The results of the battle were at least more than 500,000. A large number of fishman areas were directly turned into a wasteland. The middle and high-level extraordinary people who lost their cover would also be sniped first.
In the face of such a swarm of drones, Command-level creatures will also be threatened, especially since there are many "extraordinary drones" hidden among these "ordinary creatures".
Lu Ping'an saw it, but he didn't ask now, as this should also be a technology hidden by the official. Lu Ping'an smelled a lot of "illegal" smells in it, including but not limited to electronic virus AI, artificial souls, and weaponization of extraordinary limbs.
"How's it going underwater?"
Lu Ping'an is very interested in this aspect.
There are mechanical dogs on the ground and drones in the sky. The ocean is the main battlefield, so ordinary people naturally have special unmanned weapons as well.
In the previous encounter, the large ship dropped many underwater unmanned devices. Lu Ping'an noticed their operation but did not see any report.
He estimated that it would not be good news.
".That's the only bad part."
"What? You've never fought underwater?"
"That's one aspect. It's actually not a big problem. We just need to improve our weapons. The main problem is... we can't catch up."
“Oh, there’s no solution then.”
Lu Ping'an sighed. It wasn't that he didn't understand, but as someone who had already been doing this business (especially Mercury 42), he was a professional and was more aware of the problems in this area.
Mechanical creations in the sky and on land have mature technology and are relatively easy to deal with, but the underwater ones are really difficult to deal with.
The first is the underwater environment. The water pressure greatly reduces the power of most automatic weapons. What is even more frustrating is that underwater equipment is currently not as maneuverable as the fishman.
Although it sounds abstract that machines cannot swim against flesh and blood, it is a fact. The power of those small unmanned devices is quite limited. Increasing the power will greatly increase the size and reduce their threat, but the most helpless issue is the cost.
Whether it is underwater weapons or maneuverability, it can be solved as long as you are willing to spend money, but the result is a surge in costs. Now unmanned equipment is taking the route of quantity in exchange for strength. If we really come up with medium-to-large underwater combat drones, their overly large size and cost will make them lose the biggest advantage of the drone swarm.
“Maybe I can try to solve this problem.”
But now, it is obviously not the time to consider these things. The top leaders of the Mountain Kingdom hurried over, bringing with them a plan for a full-scale counterattack.
