Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 165 Heading to the Amphibious Task Force

[In addition, this combat platform also has several improved versions, capable of performing reconnaissance, assault, bomb disposal, and cargo transport missions.]

The third type of unmanned combat unit that was then exhibited looked very familiar to Lorraine. He listened to Yao Guang's explanation while checking the data of this unmanned combat unit.

[Tarantula Special Operations Platform]

Maximum speed: 5 kilometers per hour

Maximum climbable slope: ±90°

Maximum climbable step height: 45cm

Maximum range: 10 kilometers

Size: 1000mm*1000mm*650mm

Total weight: 60 kg

Maximum battery life: 8 hours

[Sensors: Four solid-state lidar sensors, four sets of visual recognition systems]

This combat platform is a derivative of the spider-like multi-functional robot. The robot is equipped with high-performance solid-state batteries, driven by silent motors, and its surface features variable camouflage. The weapon platform on top can also be equipped with micro-weapons.

The eight robotic arms are equipped with multiple adsorption and fixation devices at their ends, allowing them to move freely across various object surfaces.

After reviewing the data for these three unmanned combat units, Lorraine remained silent for a moment before confirming his access permissions with Yao Guang again.

You have the right to access all resources within the base.

Without hesitation, Lorraine ordered Yao Guang to transport 80 Sentinel Type II robots, 80 Hound multi-purpose combat platforms, 40 Tarantula special operations platforms, and 140 Spider-type robots to the dock.

He then returned to the flagship alone, found the data for the Gauss pistol in the database, and began modifying the newly deployed unmanned combat units.

Ten minutes later, the first batch of 10 unmanned combat units had completed their modifications, and the remaining 190 unmanned combat units had arrived on the flagship.

Meanwhile, Bai Jin and his two companions, accompanied by their mechanical dogs, followed Yao Guang into the underground base.

Five minutes later, the remaining 140 spider-like robots also arrived at the transport ship's cargo hold.

Subsequently, the two warships left the dock one after the other and headed towards the amphibious task force 160 nautical miles away at a speed of 40 knots.

As Lorraine headed towards the amphibious assault group, Lin Shu, Ouyang Nian, and Bai Jin went their separate ways.

Lin Shu led Qiexue, Luo Yi, and Xuan Tie to the agricultural production area inside the base.

Ouyang Nian then took Tiangou and Maomao to the industrial area inside the base.

Bai Jin then took Di Ting to the submarine base.

After the radar detected the amphibious task force 30 nautical miles away, Lorraine launched a Rainbow-1 reconnaissance drone.

Propelled by the propeller at the rear of the fuselage, the drone quickly arrived over the nearest Type 42DL destroyer.

The destroyer had already lowered its anchor, and its hull number was no longer visible. However, the two lifeboats in the middle of the ship had disappeared, the aft deck was empty, and the hangar doors were tightly closed.

As the reconnaissance drone slowly descended, Lorraine was able to vaguely see the situation inside the cockpit.

There were only two or three figures moving around inside the driver's cab at that moment.

The drone then flew toward the two dock landing ships behind the destroyer.

I highly recommend "Apocalypse: I Build a Space Fleet"! Click to enter the story world.

The decks of the two dock landing ships were also completely empty, the hangar doors were tightly closed, and the bridges of the two dock landing ships were also empty.

The amphibious assault ships behind these two dock landing ships were in a similar situation, with their decks also empty, but through the glass on the two island superstructures, one could see quite a few figures moving around inside.

The drone then descended and attempted to enter the amphibious assault ship through the open space beneath the elevator, but was met with two tightly closed steel doors.

Helpless, Lorraine could only let the drone continue to fly backward to explore the situation of other ships, but still did not obtain any useful information.

When the reconnaissance drone returned to the flagship, the flagship and the transport ship had already arrived next to the first Type 42DL destroyer.

At this moment, the flagship was 50 meters to the left of the destroyer, while the transport ship was stationary to the left of the flagship.

The robotic arm on the side of the ship retrieved six 20-meter-long straight channels from the mission compartment, then spliced ​​them together to form two 60-meter-long channels, and fixed one end of each channel to the hatch on the side of the ship.

Using winches and cables, the two 60-meter-long tunnels were slowly laid on the aft deck of the Type 42DL destroyer. Subsequently, 10 wheeled unmanned combat vehicles equipped with Gauss rifles and two engineering units arrived on the aft deck of the destroyer via the flagship.

Ten unmanned combat vehicles were divided into two teams, with the gun barrels on their backs pointed at the hatches that the two engineering units were opening.

With a hiss, the two engineering teams successfully opened the oval hatch.

After confirming that the entrance was secure, the three sentry robots jumped over the threshold and successfully entered the ship's interior.

A Peregrine-20F (a 15-ton anti-submarine helicopter) with a light gray paint scheme and short wings sat quietly in place.

From the outside, the helicopter appears to be in good condition, with no signs of rust or corrosion.

After confirming that the hangar was safe, seven sentry robots and ten wheeled unmanned combat vehicles entered the hangar through the opened hatches.

To increase the speed of the unmanned combat vehicle, two engineering units and two spider robots worked together to temporarily fix two steel plates to the threshold of the hatch.

Subsequently, 10 engineering units and 10 spider robots arrived inside the hangar and began attempting to open the hangar door using mechanical devices.

The attempt inevitably produced some noise, which attracted five zombies dressed in military uniforms.

Then, five Gauss rifles set to their lowest power level fired, and the flying steel spikes accurately hit the zombies' heads, ending their lives.

Two engineering units stepped forward and moved the five zombies from the entrance of the passage to a place where they would not interfere with the movement of the unmanned units.

Based on the available information, Lorraine knew that there were at most 200 zombies on the destroyer, and the 20 unmanned combat units on board could easily wipe them out.

After a moment's thought, Lorraine transported another 10 tracked unmanned combat vehicles, 10 hounds, and 10 spider robots onto the destroyer.

Subsequently, the flagship retracted its two 60-meter-long boarding ramps and sailed with the transport ship to the rear of the amphibious assault group.

Forty minutes later, 70 unmanned units were operating on the two destroyers at the rear of the amphibious task force.

After the hangar doors were opened by the combined efforts of the engineering units and spider robots, the 40 unmanned combat units on the destroyer began to penetrate the ship and clear out the wandering zombies inside.
