Chapter 36: Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky
At 9:50 a.m., Da Mo sat silently in the host's seat, his expression blank, with mixed feelings.
Because, like the other two branches of the military, the Air Force will sell anything as long as the money is right!
After more than an hour of discussion, one explanation has gained widespread acceptance: using the most advanced equipment to buy time and space for the development of mechs.
does it worth?
Some agreed, some disagreed, and some remained silent. Everyone had their own opinions, their own explanations, and their own thoughts; no one could clearly explain it.
As a result, the live stream chat was in complete chaos, with all sorts of things being said and the arguments raging.
"Hello, Da Mo."
Just then, a voice that was familiar yet unfamiliar to many military enthusiasts suddenly rang out.
Accompanied by a voice, an elderly man whom many people still remember walked into the host's position: "I am the Director, and I am very happy to co-host with you this time."
"Director Zhang!?"
After regaining his composure, Da Mo immediately stood up and respectfully replied, "I never expected that you would be hosting this with me, sir. It's such an honor!"
"I feel honored to be able to co-host with a great warlord like you, an ordinary retired old man."
"Director, those are all rumors. If you don't believe me, I'll take you for a walk around the village."
"..."
The appearance of the "Director" eased the atmosphere in the live broadcast room considerably, but it didn't last long before the atmosphere became tense again.
Seeing this, Da Mo, partly out of curiosity and partly to try and solve the problem, asked indirectly, "Director, what's your opinion on this exhibition?"
The bureau chief shrugged and chuckled sheepishly, "I'm just an ordinary retired old man. What can I possibly do? I'll just look with my eyes."
"..."
Seeing that Da Mo was speechless and the live stream chat was sparse, the director shook his head slightly and changed the subject with his smile unchanged: "Da Mo, the performance is about to start, we need to get ready to sell products."
When the "Director" talks about selling products, he really is selling them.
As the latte art planes flew by, Da Mo and Zhang Zhao introduced the history, specifications, and technical maneuvers of the planes to the audience while simultaneously selling corresponding models online.
In the blink of an eye, the air show came to its grand finale: the paratroopers' parachute landing performance.
"Director, could you please introduce this airborne unit to everyone?"
"This airborne company is our heroic airborne company, established..."
"..."
As the director explained, a chubby girl flew low over the crowd from afar.
After leaving the crowd for a distance, the chubby girl suddenly made a large, rapid ascent, showing off its superior performance.
Five hundred meters, one thousand meters, two thousand meters. As the chubby girl continued to rise, she gradually became a small black dot and eventually disappeared from the audience's sight.
Just as everyone was looking up until their necks were a little sore, a bunch of small black dots suddenly appeared in the sky.
One second, five seconds, ten seconds—as the black dot gradually expanded, Da Mo's expression suddenly changed. He abruptly stood up and shouted anxiously, "Quickly, get the audience evacuated!"
Too close!
The paratroopers landed too close to the stands, making it very easy for them to land inside the stands!
If that were to happen, it could very likely trigger a diplomatic incident!
"Don't worry."
Before the director could take any action, the director calmly smiled and stopped him, saying, "We just need to watch and see. We don't need to do anything else."
"..."
Da Mo realized that the Director wasn't just pretending to be calm, and immediately understood that the Director must have inside information that he didn't know. Therefore, he relaxed.
However, after a short while, Da Mo couldn't help but become nervous again.
At the same time, a slight commotion broke out in the audience: some people got up and hurriedly left their seats, while others were restless and whispering among themselves, only their own people were still looking up with expectant expressions.
One reason is the range of paratrooper landings, and another reason is that the paratroopers have not yet deployed their parachutes.
For high-altitude low-opening parachutes above 7000 meters, the maximum safe altitude for parachute deployment is around 1000 meters.
Once you drop below this altitude, the lower the parachute deployment altitude, the lower the safety, and the easier it is to land and die.
The closest paratroopers are currently at an altitude of less than 1000 meters above the ground, but they can only be seen as figures, not as parachutes.
Therefore, Da Mo couldn't help but steal glances at the Director.
While secretly peeking, Da Mo suddenly noticed something strange: the director's view was the same as what he saw with his own eyes.
It's understandable that there are no aerial shots, but why didn't those long-lens cameras zoom in?
Wow~
Just as Da Mo was wondering, the audience suddenly became noisy, prompting Da Mo to look up at the sky.
Then, Da Mo also widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and made a strange sound.
At this moment, there were still no parachute trails in the high sky, but there were now exhaust plumes like those of a jet fighter!
With the help of the trailing flames, the paratroopers, who had been descending at high speed, began to slow down.
As the paratroopers' figures gradually became clearer, everyone was finally able to make out what they looked like.
Then, everyone, whether they were at the scene or watching the live stream, went wild!
The exhaust flame comes from the bottom of the paratrooper's backpack.
Besides the nozzle, the backpack also had a small autonomous dog attached to each of its left and right sides, and heavy weapons mounted on its back: either a heavy machine gun, a quad rocket launcher, or a grenade launcher.
Besides backpacks, paratroopers don't wear bulletproof vests and combat camouflage uniforms, but rather a full-body, slightly bulky, exoskeleton power armor!
With the aid of power armor, all paratroopers are dual-wielding large-caliber weapons.
"Boom boom boom~"
When they were still more than ten meters from the ground, the paratroopers stopped cushioning their fall and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a lot of dust that gradually obscured everyone's view.
"Phew~"
Suddenly, the dust swirled up, and then, a series of dark figures rushed out of the dust at an extremely fast speed.
Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the paratrooper's shoes actually had treadmills on the bottom.
With the help of wheeled sprockets, paratroopers can not only move at extremely high speeds, but also form a circular, all-around attack formation and move flexibly in sync.
It was a true all-around attack because some of the paratroopers were moving backwards while simultaneously moving forward, rather than all of them moving forward.
Whether the formation changes direction, stops abruptly, or avoids obstacles, the paratroopers without a line of sight can keep up and will not collide with teammates or obstacles.
When they were a few meters away from the audience seats, the paratroopers suddenly scattered quickly like fairies scattering flowers.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
After a dazzling display, the paratroopers suddenly stood still and didn't move.
At this moment, the audience realized that 120 paratroopers had transformed from a high-speed moving circle into a neat and stationary 12x10 square formation in less than 5 seconds.
"..."
This scene not only silenced the audience for a moment, but also stopped the scrolling of comments in the live stream.
Even Guo Yi, who had been watching the live stream the whole time, was dumbfounded.
