Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 184 Platform Cleaning Operation

除了大量的弹药和吊装在机身下方的8个电磁机枪塔，这4架直升机还送来了40个人形战斗机器人，30个换装新型武器的猎犬多用途战斗平台，40台哨兵机器人以及20个能够兼顾多种任务的工程机器人。

In order to enable these engineering robots to move freely on dangerous drilling platforms, in addition to laser cutters and engineering instruments, Lorraine also equipped them with a newly developed electromagnetic shotgun for self-defense.

These engineering robots were the first to arrive at the helipad, and then began installing the electromagnetic machine gun turret that had been airlifted by helicopter.

The engineering robots installed four machine gun turrets around the helipad, while the remaining four were placed in pairs and extended into the drilling platform.

After all the humanoid robots finished resupplying, they brought the newly landed Hound Combat Platform to the stairwell leading to the second floor of the drilling platform.

They are not in a hurry to advance downwards; instead, they are firmly guarding the four stairwells with these unmanned combat units.

Ten minutes later, the third batch of reinforcements arrived. This time, aircraft No. 1 and No. 2 did not open their tail doors in mid-air, but came to a steady stop on the tarmac.

Two engineering robots entered the cabin and unloaded the four electromagnetic machine gun turrets loaded inside the helicopter.

Subsequently, Units 3 and 4 began their descent, deploying the 40 humanoid combat robots they carried onto the drilling platform.

This way, there are two teams of robots on the drilling platform that can take turns attacking.

The hound multi-purpose combat platforms that were transported earlier are responsible for guarding the various entrances and exits.

These combat platforms are grouped into sets of four, each equipped with an electromagnetic machine gun and an electromagnetic shotgun.

The 40 Sentinel robots were distributed to each of the two-person combat teams responsible for the advance.

In this way, these robot combat teams can hear and see in all directions, greatly reducing the losses of these humanoid robots.

After the engineering robots installed the electromagnetic gun turret, the second and third batches of 80 humanoid robots that arrived at the oil drilling platform began to descend, accompanied by sentry robots.

The heavily armored robot raised a giant shield, comparable in size to a door, with one hand, while pointing the other at the zombies wandering on the second level.

"Pfft pfft pfft"

A series of barely audible gunshots rang out.

The regular zombies wandering at the bottom of the stairs were instantly riddled with holes and collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Meanwhile, the engineering robot that had completed the installation of the electromagnetic machine gun turret came to the dead zombies and tried to find out the differences between them and the zombies on the ground.

With the shock-absorbing pads under their feet and the silencers on their guns, the robots managed to clear the zombies off the second floor of the drilling platform with almost no notice of them.

However, one of the four-person teams inevitably made some subtle noises when they entered the living area to clean.

Faced with the zombies that had been drawn by the noise and were moving rapidly forward, the four-man squad quickly turned their guns and swiftly eliminated the dozen or so zombies.

Next, the four-person team left the living area and began calling for other teams to come to their aid.

Soon, three squads arrived near the living area.

To avoid making unnecessary noise while cleaning the living area, the four four-person teams dispatched their respective sentry robots into the living area to scout and eliminate zombies.

The four squads remained outside the living area, raising their machine guns and aiming them at the gate leading into the living area and the passageway near the living area.

When the fourth batch of two Peregrine 35 utility helicopters arrived at the oil drilling platform, the four four-person teams quickly moved into the living quarters under the cover of the helicopter noise.

Using the noise of the helicopters as cover, the four four-person teams quickly entered the living area.

Subsequently, the four teams of four split into eight pairs, and with extremely fast and accurate movements, they cleared out the zombies that were wandering inside the living area.

The map inside the cabin shows that the living quarters of this drilling platform are relatively evenly distributed on the eastern side of the second, third, and fourth floors.

Compared to the first and second floors, the third and fourth floors have more equipment control devices.

The main control center was located on the third floor. The fourth floor was even smaller, and apart from the living area, it was filled with drilling equipment and control systems.

Suddenly, Lorraine remembered a major problem: they didn't know the location of the oil pipeline.

This means that the oil pipeline is most likely surrounded by this zombie nest.

This means that Lorraine may be unable to use the Sea Knight's main guns to bombard the nest below the drilling platform.

Fortunately, during the seven days they were stuck at the shipyard camp, Lorraine had already had Cleveland upgrade the flagship's 76mm high-speed stealth gun to an electromagnetic railgun.

This 76mm electromagnetic gun, combined with a large number of 30mm rapid-fire electromagnetic guns, should be able to easily tear this nest apart, right?

Just as Lorraine was hesitating about whether to have the robots slow down their advance, the unmanned underwater vehicle that was moving south was about to reach the bottom of the drilling platform.

After receiving Cleveland's notification, Lorraine projected the real-time footage of the unmanned underwater vehicle onto the large screen next to the holographic sand table.

At this point, Lorraine was able to see the underwater portion of the drilling platform.

"Hiss, this isn't right, is it?"

As the unmanned underwater vehicle advanced, the scene before him completely exceeded Lorraine's expectations.

He saw the algae on the surface of the underwater part of the nest.

"So, this nest relied on microorganisms that have survived to this day in the ocean to create a large number of zombies?"

Lorraine turned her head and looked at Lin Shu, who was standing beside her in a daze.

"Shu, Shu?"

Lin Shu did not respond to Lorraine's soft call.

Finally, Lorraine reached out and gently patted Lin Shu on the shoulder.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Lorraine said with a hint of helplessness.

"I called you twice just now, but you didn't respond, so I patted you on the shoulder."

"Oh, I'm sorry, did you say anything just now?"

Lin Shu instantly understood that Lorraine wanted to get some opinions from him.

Lorraine repeated her thoughts.

After hearing this idea, Lin Shu rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"That's possible, but how many zombies have been cleared out so far?"

Lorraine clicked on the counter next to the holographic sand table and saw that it displayed 742.

"742 zombies. Judging from the footage taken by the drone, there are at least 1000 more zombies on the third, fourth, and fifth floors below."

"As for what's in the nest below, that's unclear."

In fact, if this nest hadn't been attached to an oil drilling platform, four or five Changkong-26 missiles would have hit it by now.
