Chapter 48 The Starved Sith Warrior
After cleaning up this temporary emergency center with a bunch of questions, we left some combat robots to guard these prisoners. Anyway, the power armor of the Sith warriors has been pulled out. Without this thing, the combat power of these people is just a little stronger than that of humans. They are completely weak when facing armed robots. The only result of resistance is that they are instantly dismantled into pieces.
Don’t worry about the prisoner’s problem. We continued to advance with confidence, and then continued to pick up the corpses all the way. In the end, even we ourselves began to feel scared because the number of corpses had risen to more than 700.
"Battleship, this is definitely a battleship of the Sith Empire warship at the battleship level." The Pilgrim leader asserted with certainty on the spiritual network.
The new compatriots no longer know what to say, because what they know now is obviously different from what they were originally, so they feel that their judgments have no meaning.
Our propulsion speed is gradually increasing, mainly because the density of corpses on the ground has begun to decline, but the total number is still rising steadily. The wounded and medical personnel and these corpses on the ground have been discovered. The total number of Sith Empire personnel we have discovered is closer than 900 people. Moreover, according to the category of clothing for the Sith Warrior Gate given by the leader of the Pilgrim, one thing is very certain that none of the above 900 people are responsible for the ship's ship. In other words, there are more than 900 Marines and auxiliary personnel. This is definitely a battleship or a larger warship, otherwise there would never be so many people.
"Where are we now?" I checked the surrounding environment while asking new compatriots in the spiritual network.
There was also a little hesitation and said with uncertainty: "I don't have the information about this ship, but the Alliance's warship designs are similar. This should be a large destroyer or a special type of destroyer, and the internal spatial distribution is almost the same. Your current location should be located in the middle and rear of the hull, somewhere between the first hangar and the third hangar."
"If this ship really collided with the warship of the Sith Empire, where do you think the most likely collision position would be?"
"It's hard to say!" The new compatriots over there said with some uncertainty: "If it's an accident, it's no reference value at all. It's an accident, and it's not surprising where it hits. But if it's a intentional collision, then the enemy ship will mostly use the corner of the bow to hit our warship. As for the position chosen by the enemy... this is really hard to say, because I'm not sure whether this destroyer has done a certain dodge. If the dodge is successful, the enemy's impact position should be in the third hangar or further back. Because the power system of this level of destroyer is in the middle, if the enemy breaks directly into it, the spacecraft will easily lose power, so the commander will take the initiative to avoid this area. However, if the dodge fails, it's really hard to say, and the situation may be reversed!"
"Then we plan to have a deviation in the other party's impact position. Tell me where to go, let's try our luck."
"All right!"
According to the guidance, I began to move quickly in the ship. Fortunately, there were not so many corpses here, so it was much easier to move. However, along the way, I was thinking about a question, that is, is the combat effectiveness of the Sith warrior worse than I thought.
As mentioned earlier, the ship we discovered should be the destroyer of the creator, and the invading enemy personnel could only come from a large battleship-level battleship. But the question is, how many defense robots can be found on a destroyer? The enemy dispatched nearly a thousand assault troops, but they were all killed. Although they finally succeeded in killing all the robots here. In the end, some survivors were indeed left but not completely dead, the casualties ratio was too scary.
Even if the armed robots of the archers and cavalry have strong combat effectiveness, this thing itself is not a defensive robot used in the warship. It can be said that the warships must have only used these robots for defense after they were invaded, so they were forced to use these robots that are not suitable for use in the warship. However, this hasty situation actually caused only more than 100 robots to kill hundreds of people on the other side.
I heard that the Sith warriors are not very good at fighting power, but this is too bad, right?
This question about me was answered along the way. Of course, it was not answered by our new compatriots, because they were even more confused than us. What really answered my question was actually the corpses on the ground.
As I continued to move towards possible impact positions, there were fewer and fewer corpses on the ground, and there were still a long way to go without any corpses. But it was right to think about it. When the enemy rushed in, the defending party must have no time to assemble troops. Therefore, the invaders would not be able to resist at the beginning, so it is understandable that there were no corpses near the initial impact point. However, after running for a while in this state of no corpses, I found another corpse.
The corpse had a strange posture at that time. It was not lying on the ground or lying on it. It was standing and dead. To be precise, it was not that the Sith warrior had a firm willpower and never fall down, but because his power armor was turned off. Yes, it was the problem of power armor.
Everyone knows that power armor is actually equivalent to a robot that is placed outside the human body. The only difference is that its computer system is not as complicated as a real robot. After all, the robot needs to complete the task by itself, and the power armor is controlled by someone. Therefore, the computer of power armor does not need the autonomous judgment ability of a robot. However, in essence, power armor has a certain relationship with the robot. At least the mechanical part of the power armor is actually an alternative robot structure.
If it is a human, the body will fall down after death, and most of the so-called heroes who will not fall down after death are actually processed by art. In real battles, it is difficult for people to fall down until they die, unless they temporarily rely on the wall or hold weapons to support the ground, and even if the body loses control after death, they can stand there stably, so that they can ensure that they will not fall down after death. However, normally this is very difficult, and most people will fall down after death.
However, robots are different from humans. After humans die, their bodies will become softer and their joints will lose their support. As for corpse zombies, it takes time. People who just die will not become harder so quickly. But robots are different from humans. Their posture after damage is related to their own design and damage.
If a robot equipped with electromagnetic joints, it will immediately collapse into a ball once the system is closed, which is similar to that of a human. However, if it is a robot with a hydraulic system, it will be different. The robot using a hydraulic joint system will not fall back after losing its power. Instead, it will become hard and as if it is rusted, and it cannot even be pulled. It can be said that when the power is lost, it will be completely frozen. Of course, if the hydraulic system is penetrated and pressure relief occurs, the robot with a hydraulic joint will inevitably become soft.
However, the situation of the power armor in front of me is slightly different. The reason why it becomes hard is not because the hydraulic joint valve closes after losing power, causing the body to be stiff, but because it locks itself after it shuts down.
Just like when the computer is turned off, the system will control the components in the computer to save data in a certain order and gradually turn off the equipment, the power armor will save the data first when it is turned off, and then automatically enters an upright state. All joints will stay in the preset position, and then the locking device will pop up to lock the joints completely. This is a design for convenient transportation and maintenance. Otherwise, the power armor will be soft and unconvenient for handling or repair. If it is a destroyed power armor, it cannot move. The locking device should be opened, but the locking device of this power armor is all in the locking position, which is clearly the automatic shutdown.
In fact, compared to automatic locking, what is even more strange is that the armor plate in front of the power armor is actually opened. When we saw this guy, we directly discovered the dead Sith warrior inside, and the power armor outside was all unfolded, and the opponent could step out of the inside with just one step. But what is strange is that the Sith warrior did not come out, but died in the power armor.
"What's the situation?" Looking at the strange power armor in front of me, I could only ask the pilgrim leaders and new compatriots on the spiritual network. After all, they know much more about Sith warriors than I do.
The Pilgrim leader said seriously: "We have studied the power armor of the Sith Empire. After performing a shutdown operation, this power armor will be turned on by default if the external environment can support life. Of course, it can also be set by the operator. However, it does not look like the armor is turned on after the default shutdown."
"What is that?" I asked.
The leader of the pilgrim reminded: "Did you see the black marks at the joints of the armor plate? That is the mark of the explosion of the high-pressure explosion point. The purpose of this explosion point is to use the power of the explosion to directly explode the shell fixture to let the people inside out when the power armor cannot open the cockpit due to accidents. The power of this explosion is accurately set and will not hurt the personnel inside. Moreover, the armor will not be damaged after the explosion, and it will only separate the connecting devices of the outer armor. Under normal circumstances, these connecting devices should be unlocked by the electromagnetic drive device. Then the hydraulic support system will open the armor plate. The explosion device is only needed if there is a problem with the power armor, which causes the electromagnetic drive to unlock the fixture normally. However, the joint system of this power armor is obviously self-locked, which means it is shut down normally. If this is the case, there is no reason why the shell cannot be opened!"
Our new compatriot suddenly said, "I thought of a possibility. However, the probability is very small, but it can explain the situation in front of me."
"Tell me."
"The opponent's power armor may not be turned off by the driver, but because of energy exhaustion, it was automatically shut down. But the opponent, like us, has been buried underground for a long time. The technology of the Sith Empire is not as stable as our alliance's technology. So their power system has been over so many years, and it may not be as stable as before, resulting in the power to unlock the fixture after the system is automatically shut down. The driver inside can only activate the emergency system because the hatch door is not opened, so the armor will explode. If my guess is correct, it means that the other party's material resources may be very tight. Go and see the Sith warrior inside. If my guess is correct, he may have starved to death."
Although the power armor of this Sith warrior has been opened, he still has a layer of hard space suit. He is not wearing ordinary power armor but some kind of heavy power armor. The shell is very large, and it is not just wearing close-fitting clothes but a layer of space suit.
After getting closer, I lit this guy's space suit helmet a few times, then twisted and pulled it off.
What appeared in front of me was a guy who was almost like a skeleton. If the appearance and age of the people in the Sith Empire were similar to those of the people on earth, then this guy should not be very old, but he now looks like an old man because his facial skin is wrinkled and his whole body is dry and almost without any moisture. This is typical of the person who starves to death. Moreover, this guy is definitely not starved to death by sudden hunger, but long-term malnutrition caused by long-term food shortages to become thinner.
"I really starve to death!" Ye Yue said, looking at the corpse of the mummy in front of him.
"This is reasonable." Ling said.
"What does it mean?" asked the Pilgrim leader.
"I guess this Sith Empire warship should have been connected with this destroyer just now. They should have been separated before. Maybe the two caused by this earthquake were connected together. The Sith Empire warship should have damaged the main power system during the crash, otherwise with the power of the spacecraft, it should be able to break free after falling and will not be buried underground. Because the opponent lost the main power system, it could only rely on battery power supply, so it could only let most people go dormant and save energy, leaving one or two people to stay.
Just when these people were about to starve to death, the earthquake occurred. Then the two ships collided with each other due to squeeze. The Sith warriors who left behind discovered the warships here, and their own energy was almost used up. So they simply took a gamble to awaken all the personnel and rushed over to occupy the ship.
What we see now is probably left-behind people. Because they are not dormant, they will be hungry after a long period of time by relying on a small amount of food. As for other people, they are fine because they are always dormant.
We have discovered so many Sith warrior corpses along the way, but the robots here only lost that little. This is not in line with the combat power of Sith warriors, and the explanation is that the opponent's energy is exhausted, and the energy weapons on the power armor no longer have much energy. It is precisely because there is no extra energy to launch weapons that the loss is so great."
"Your analysis like this really explains the previous situation well," said the Pilgrim leader.
They were talking to me and suddenly thought of a question. "Damn, it's not good! Hurry up, keep up with me. There will be something big about it!" (To be continued.)
