Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane - Chapter 970
There are different opinions about the difference between python and anaconda. Of course, there are only a few. For example, anaconda is a special name for several kinds of snakes near the water, and another example is the snake that is widely spread in certain fields.
In fact, these statements can be roughly divided into two parts, one part is the original meaning of Chinese characters, and the second part is the translation of the names of different species in biological taxonomy.
Like the ones above, they all belong to the exploration in the meaning of the Chinese text of Anaconda.
As I said before, this huge prehistoric giant snake should be called Titan anaconda. In fact, it is just a solidification of the Chinese translation of the two nouns Boidae and Python, or a yearning for solidification of translation.
In other words, some people think that Boidae should be translated into Anaconda, and Python should be translated into Python.
This is indeed fixed for the time being in the subject of biological taxonomy, but it is more difficult to use it to completely replace the rules of use in other fields.
What’s more, with the development of disciplines, there are likely to be new changes. When the words are not enough, it is not impossible to change the corresponding relationship.
So this kind of solidification of the corresponding translation, let the friends above it slowly talk about it.
Anyway, everyone wants to completely solidify the English equivalent of the dragon character into Loong, instead of letting dragon be directly translated into dragon. This has been a long time, but the recognition from the mainstream public is extremely limited.
“Titan Anaconda? It’s a strange name, or Titan Anaconda is more imposing.” Hearing Lu Yuan’s explanation, Swallow said first, “However, what else can they do besides being able to, forehead, and arrogant?”
“This is hard to say. If it is only inferred from other giant pythons, they can actually do very limited things.” Lu Yuan replied, “However, if these things are lying in the grass, they are indeed the natural enemies of our spider chariot. .”
As he said, Lu Yuan immediately turned his head and asked, “Turner, how is the situation ahead?”
“The tank battalion has already begun to withdraw.” Turner replied, “Rosikoff is helping with low-altitude reconnaissance early warning. But now the angle of sunlight is not good, which affects the reconnaissance effect. Infrared detection is almost unusable.”
Because the rising oblique sunlight hits the pythons, it will further weaken the temperature difference between their bodies and the surrounding environment.
Lu Yuan naturally understands this kind of thing. After all, what model and performance the infrared detector on the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is, he knows best as a designer.
“Okay, retreat first, find a way to find out the weaknesses of these guys, and then talk about the offense.” Lu Yuan nodded.
“Um, the weakness seems to have been found.” The team channel suddenly heard Rosecuff’s voice, acting as the air force commander.
“what?”
“Look at this!” Amidst the voices of everyone’s questions, Rosecuff sent another set of reconnaissance photos.
In the end, everyone just saw a group of ordinary dinosaurs. Mainly are Tyrannosaurus rex of Tyrannosaurus and Thundersaurus of Diplodocus.
Although I was a little curious about the fact that such a large dinosaur phalanx, which has always looked strong, did not enter the front line, everyone did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Until Rosecuff made a flashing mark somewhere in the photo, everyone suddenly discovered that there were other behemoths lurking in the ground grass near the Thunder Dragon.
At first, it was easy for the viewer to mistake it for Thunder Dragon or other Diplodocus, such as the neck of Confusion Dragon, and it also deliberately hid the back half of its body.
However, after careful discrimination, everyone slowly discovered that the guy was not so much the neck of another Diplodocus, but rather a thicker and larger Titan python.
If you use the conventional Thunder Dragon neck to be about eight meters long to make an auxiliary judgment, hide most of your body, and only expose the larger titan python that pretends to be someone’s neck in the first half, with a total length of at least 15 meters. .
In this case, it would be at least a circle larger than the Titan giant pythons around twelve meters away from the front line.
Discovering the existence of this kind of thing, Lu Yuan and others were naturally concerned, and immediately ordered Rosecuff to arrange more reconnaissance planes to observe closely from various angles.
In order to allow the reconnaissance drones to have enough opportunities to observe, let alone the air combat drones being sent out to compete with the enemy’s explosive birds for air supremacy in the airspace above the target, even the self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery was sent to the middle of the battlefield. So that they can also participate in the competition for regional air supremacy.
Although this method of allowing the self-propelled artillery to advance backwards in front of the battlefield will surely attract a targeted impact from the opponent’s heavy armored tyrannosaurus forces over time, but in order to obtain the reconnaissance results as soon as possible, they can only resort to dangerous moves.
Fortunately, with more reconnaissance drones, there are more angles that can be photographed, and there are more data. Compared with one’s own side, everyone quickly discovered the connection between the rear Titan Python and the frontline Python.
“These big guys, Commander?” It was Yanzi who grabbed another blood.
“Haha, it’s reasonable.” Lu Yuan shook his head and laughed.
“What’s the situation?” Yanzi puzzled.
“Well, in pythons, the females are bigger, and they can use the secreted chemicals to control the males to a certain extent during the mating period.” Lu Yuan laughed softly, not knowing what he thought of, but was casually picked up by the swallows next to him. Hit a punch.
“Ah, in short, I guess the Lizardmen Legion probably also used this characteristic to make some special modifications to them.” Lu Yuan continued, clasping the swallow’s fist.
“Well, commander?” Others are not as nasty as this pair, and have already begun to speculate seriously about how to use this information.
“Then, kill these female commanders, what will happen to the males in front?” Turner asked after thinking about it.
“It’s hard to say.” Lu Yuan said, “It is possible to run away, or it may be more violent. After all, there is no real case for this kind of thing to refer to.”
“Why not, let’s try it?”
“Also.”
This kind of thing is not difficult for them to try.
In the long-term battle, the opponent has not gained nothing. It has long been discovered that the maximum range of the Luyuan Fire Support Force is about 20 kilometers, so these big guys in the rear have always maintained a distance of at least 20 kilometers from the artillery unit.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to directly use self-propelled artillery or rocket launchers to attack these female Titan Pythons.
But fortunately, because of the previous struggle for air supremacy over these giant pythons, Rosecuff’s air combat power slightly suppressed the enemy’s explosive flying birds. In this way, it provided enough air combat drones to attack the Titan giant pythons. Space.
Soon, the air combat drones of three four-plane formations descended, and at about two kilometers, they watched a three-stage attack on the big and hidden guys near the Thunder Dragon.
This is no way to increase the hit rate of their electromagnetic coil guns, which can only be fired in a single shot, without modifying the weapon system.
