Chapter 1248: Colonial War Report
After all, a game is just a game, and when one side starts to hold on, it's a little less fun to continue. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Natasha finally couldn't get tired and began to beg for mercy, Jiang Chen casually teased her a few times, then turned over and snatched the initiative of the game, and after a high long whistle, hugged the tired and satisfied "Golden Silk Cat" and fell asleep.
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight crossed the window eaves, Jiang Chen opened his eyes.
Turning over lazily, when he saw Natasha, who was already standing on the side of the bed and getting dressed, he couldn't help but tease, "I didn't expect you to get out of bed before me, I knew that I shouldn't have trusted the expression on your face." ”
"You also know that I was born as an agent," Natasha said with a smile on her lips, flicking the hair on her forehead, reaching out to tie her blond hair behind her head, and her eyebrows fluttering, "If you fall for me, it only means that you are not as good as others." ”
"Come on, it's just that I'll let you, why don't you try it tonight?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Today is Xia Shiyu," the golden ponytail shook Jiang Chen's back, and Natasha said with a wicked smile, "You can 'vent' all your dissatisfaction with me on her." ”
Walking to the door triumphantly, Natasha, who had just opened the bedroom door, suddenly weakened her knees, and her whole body was short, and she almost didn't stand firmly on the door frame.
Sure enough, this picture of being okay was all pretended by her.
Turning back to meet Jiang Chen's playful gaze, Natasha glared at him fiercely, closed the bedroom door and walked away.
Jiang Chen silently blessed her in her heart, wishing her not to fall again, and then turned over and got up, put on her clothes and pants and walked out of the bedroom.
……
The Biotech Summit is still taking place, and the scientists who have been protesting for three days without success in pressuring the Star Ring trade have dispersed and are disappointed on the plane back home.
The manic acid developed from the devil worm has been designed by the Chemical Research Institute of Future Human Heavy Industries, and two large-scale chemical plants have been built in the Singapore and Malaysia Special Economic Zones for production. It is expected that this acid will be used in the pharmaceutical factory of the future human biology, the factory of the future human heavy industry and the large shipyard on the synchronous orbit to replace the trifluoromethanesulfonic acid needed in some links of the original production process.
It is expected that this small change will increase the production capacity of the future human heavy industry by 1-5% in the coming year.
Don't look at it, this number seems small.
You must know that in the future, the total industrial capacity of Renzhong Heavy Industry will almost be equivalent to that of an ordinary developing country.
Not only manic acid, but also some of the organic materials ingested from the armor of the devil bug have also been applied to the military industry to optimize the composite materials on the exoskeleton. It is expected that the weight of the armor will be reduced by 1-3% and the strength of the material will be increased by 5%.
Again, don't underestimate the improvement of these points. Originally, the M series assault rifles of the US military were difficult to penetrate the armor of the exoskeleton at medium distances without special warheads. Now with this 5% "armor boost", I'm afraid they will have to make their rifles even more anxious.
As for the reduction in the weight of the armor.
No one complains that their equipment is too light, especially for the infantry who are fighting in a hail of bullets.
This kind of technological advancement, sparked by biological research, has happened to Deathclaw before.
Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that Jiang Lin had talked to him about this issue a long time ago. Part of the material in the bulletproof plates on the earliest K1 exoskeletons was based on the armor of the Deathclaw's head. And the Mother of Dead Claws that he once killed directly led to the K1 exoskeleton produced by the Sixth Block Military Factory later, which increased the defense by 5% compared to the previous model.
He didn't pay attention to these changes at the time. After all, at that time, his power in both the last and the present world was not very large.
It is also because now, the Star Ring trade has developed to its current scale, and this small change can bring a geometric increase in the overall combat effectiveness of the troops under his command......
Research on devil bugs continues.
Researchers from all over the world, who live and eat in the laboratory, are like treasure hunters in a labyrinth, searching for more amazing treasures on the specimens of devil bugs......
At the same time, a battle report and a supply list floated from tens of thousands of kilometers away from Mars and were sent to Jiang Chen's hands together.
……
Over the past week or so, the expedition has killed a total of 500 devil bugs, but only 21 of them have been able to recover specimens, and most of them have died from the flames of the incendiary bombs.
A third of the 100 ground-penetrating shells had been used, and along with the report, the Expedition had also sent a list of supplies.
"200 rounds of ground-penetrating incendiary bombs, 10 tons of small-caliber mass bombs, and 50 tons of infantry vehicle mass bombs, and a lot of weapons batteries...... It's burning money too fast, isn't it?" Looking at the list in his hand, Jiang Chen couldn't help but say.
"The consumption is really amazing. Kirwin nodded in agreement.
"I'm curious now to see how many more incendiary bombs we need to get our Martian colony back to normal. Pointing to the list in his hand, Jiang Chen pointed out the crux of the problem in one sentence.
If you don't know how many enemies are left, no matter how many bed bugs you kill, it doesn't make any sense to the Warp trade.
Clearly, Kerrwin saw that, too.
It's just that he doesn't have a good explanation for this problem.
"The range of the devil bug is five kilometers below the surface, and this range is beyond the perception of our life detection devices. We can only use seismic waves to analyze the porosity of the formations, determine their possible horizons, and then blindly shoot them......" At this point, Kirwin sighed, "I know that this is very inefficient, but at the moment it seems that this is the most efficient way." ”
What's the solution?
Hearing Kerrwin's words, Jiang Chen shook his head.
He had seen the memories of the Gaia civilization, and the devil worm 3.7 billion years ago was able to burrow into the ground at a depth of 50 kilometers and move in the mantle.
The further down, the more high-altitude strata and hollow layers where oxygen-producing fungi may exist, and the greater the space for devil bugs to survive and reproduce. If ground-penetrating bombs are used, it will be difficult to cover all the formations just by attacking at a depth of five kilometers, and if this number is enlarged to 50 kilometers, the number of missiles required will be astronomical.
And at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the picture he had seen in the memory of harmony and civilization.
The Brahma, which arrived alone in Gliese 581G, established a colony in the New World, and eventually angered the arthropods living underground due to the expansion of the colony and the expansion of living space. During the centuries of war, they initially gained the upper hand, but were eventually driven back into synchronous orbit for a time.
How similar are the histories......
The only difference is that the Expedition is backed by the large rear of the Star Ring Trade.
"I'm worried about one thing right now. Jiang Chen pondered.
"What's the matter?" Kerwin looked at Jiang Chen in a daze.
"If our behavior becomes part of natural selection to some extent, contributing to their evolutionary ......" Jiang Chen frowned slightly, crossed his arms and pondered, "Will it be that in the end, even incendiary bombs will be difficult to destroy them." ”
The Devil Bug has survived a time scale of 3.7 billion years, enough time to wipe out countless civilizations, raze mountains to the ground, forests into deserts, and evaporate oceans...... But it still hasn't been able to eradicate these uncivilized insects.
They are like cockroaches.
Even harder than cockroaches.
From this point of view, arthropods do have an advantage over mammals in the proposition of survival.
"Impossible...... bar. Looking at Jiang Chen's serious expression, Kirwin, who was originally determined in his heart, was also a little uncertain.
In his mind, no carbon-based creature could withstand the heat of the flames.
That's true, but it's not entirely true.
Is it really impossible?
I hope so.
