Chapter 825: The Remnants
The visit went smoothly, and accompanied by Murong Feng, Iriel visited the shipyard, the machinery factory, and an air base located outside the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Finally, after returning to the headquarters, I watched the war rehearsal conducted by a group of veterans of the General Staff on the virtual sand table.
Although many technological things were difficult for her to understand for a while, it did not prevent her from raising her evaluation of the strength of the Burning Legion by several notches. He no longer objected to the battle plan proposed by the General Staff, but actively participated in it and helped to make suggestions while studying.
Murong Feng sat in the corner, and his grandfather Murong Xiong took the time to come over and whispered: "This ambassador seems to be simple, but he is very smart. They have already learned how to combine our advantages with theirs to draw up a more feasible battle plan. ā
Grandfather Murong Xiong said and handed a draft battle plan that had just been drawn up to Murong Feng for a look.
Murong Feng took the plan and looked at it, nodded and said, "How quickly an alien race who has never been in contact with technological civilization can adapt can explain a lot of problems. I now kind of understand why the Eredas sent her, after all, I would choose the latter between an old fellow who is scheming but rigid in his mind and a young man who is simple-minded but easily receptive to new things. ā
Murong Feng suddenly frowned, pointed to the plan and asked, "Can their Ereda clan help our army break through the space passage without knowing it?" ā
Grandfather Murong Xiong said: "She said that because her clan is good at space spells, many of them are stationed in various fortresses close to the space passages. As long as the combination of inside and outside does have the effect of a surprise soldier, but this trick can only be used once. Because the Demon Lord of Destruction is cunning and suspicious by nature, he will never let a certain race completely take over the garrison of a certain place, and it has always been a mixture of soldiers of multiple races to play a role in supervising each other. ā
Murong Feng rhythmically knocked on the armrest of the sofa, muttered for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, then act according to this plan." But be careful not to fall into the trap of the enemy. ā
Grandpa Murong Xiong raised his eyebrows, glanced at Iriel, pursed his lips and asked, "You don't believe her?" ā
Murong Feng shook his head and said, "I believe that she is here to sincerely seek our help, but I don't believe that the entire Ereda clan is monolithic, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no leakage of the news, and I don't trust the woman who is hiding behind to give advice compared to these alien races." ā
Grandfather Murong Xiong nodded and said, "Indeed, a guy who even dares to calculate his own master, it is hard to guarantee that he will not also count us into it." The key is that we don't have enough strength. ā
Murong Feng suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, last time I asked people to go to the South China Sea to look for the Lost Islands, but they found it?" ā
Grandpa Murong Xiong thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I didn't find it." Because those guys met a dragon in the South China Sea, they were scared back. ā
"Jiaolong?" Murong Feng raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of that guy. Speaking of which, he even invited her to the South China Sea as a guest, but unfortunately she has been busy to death and has no time to go. In fact, Murong Feng didn't want to go, the ghost knows if she would trigger some god-level hidden mission after she went.
"If you don't find it, forget it." Murong Feng didn't care and said, "Let's find a way to recruit people from other places." ā
"Speaking of recruiting manpower...... Grandpa Murong Xiong sat down and said, "I have previously received a situation here that may help us. Grandpa said as he retrieved a piece of information from his personal terminal and passed it to Murong Feng.
Murong Feng was very surprised after opening it and said, "Explorer remnants? Are these guys in the game too? ā
Grandfather Murong Xiong nodded and said, "This information was actually transferred to the General Staff a few days ago, but no one paid attention to it at that time. After all, you know the reputation of those guys. ā
Murong Feng nodded silently.
The so-called explorer remnants are actually the descendants of the first people to set foot in space travel, and among those explorers there are undoubtedly the most adventurous true explorers, but the vast majority of them are bankrupt and criminals. After all, if they can still live, who wants to go to the vast sea of stars for a life-and-death adventure?
In fact, this is just like the early Age of Discovery, the first people to go to sea are always the lowest poor, these people have nothing but a bad life, and naturally they will not care too much.
But how many of them will be able to return home? So the earliest expeditions to the Star Sea were basically the same as sending them to death.
However, there are some exceptions, for example, if a fleet of explorers discovers a habitable planet, they will generally make two choices, the simplest is to sell it directly and then get rich overnight and go back to get drunk and dream of death, which can naturally inspire more poor people to devote themselves to the sea of stars.
And the more complicated thing is to simply carry out colonial development in private. Then be a soil emperor and be happy. Over time, these undocumented black colonized planets will produce generations of explorers. And because these Star Sea remnants have no nationality, they will become the best source of soldiers for star thieves and mercenaries.
Therefore, in the world's perception, the remnants of explorers are almost equal to the existence of star thieves, and it is no wonder that the staff did not pay attention to this information after receiving it. It wasn't until the last few days, under Murong Feng's clever tactics, that these veterans changed their inherent concepts little by little, and began to play this game with the mentality of a player, that they discovered that the talent they had been longing for was actually right under their noses.
Grandpa Murong Xiong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Originally, when I saw this situation, I subconsciously wanted to seal it, but after thinking about it, this game is not the real world after all, and if we recruit these explorer remnants, we don't have to worry about bearing any public opinion accusations." After all, these explorer remnants are just NPCs in the game, not really evil guys. ā
Murong Feng nodded and asked, "Is the source of this situation reliable?" ā
Grandfather Murong Xiong said: "There is seventy percent credibility. ā
Murong Feng stared at the several photos attached to the intelligence, the first photo was an ancient Terran starship that crashed in the desert. The second photo shows a small town that mixes sci-fi and magic. The third image shows a group of humans hunting with primitive guns and strange mechanical vehicles.
And these photos were taken halfway by the reconnaissance team to destroy the Demon King's lair for reconnaissance. And because this plane named Nazkaner is close to the Hell of Destruction, the reconnaissance team did not dare to startle the snake, but only took some photos and sent them back and continued to carry out their mission.
Murong Feng closed the screen, pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to contact these remnants immediately, I want to know the civilization level of these human remnants, whether they still have the technology to sail the stars and the possibility of recruitment." After all, what we lack most now is interstellar crews, not cannon fodder, which is more expensive than robot soldiers. ā
"Okay." Grandfather Murong Xiong nodded in response, then got up and ordered people to select suitable envoys and guards.
At this time, a civil official walked up to Murong Feng and saluted, "General, the Scientific Research Department wants to invite you over." ā
"What did Uncle Seventh ask me to do? Could it be that they have come up with something new? Murong Feng muttered, then got up and followed the civilian official out of the General Staff Department and came to the Scientific Research Department.
As soon as he entered the heavily guarded scientific research department, Murong Feng was immediately dragged inside by the excited Seventh Uncle.
"Uncle Seven, walk slowly, beware of falling." Murong Feng reminded.
The seventh uncle didn't care at all, and really walked like a fly, dragging Murong Feng to a scientific research hall.
As soon as Murong Feng entered this bright scientific research hall, he was immediately attracted by a new type of robot.
"Seventh Uncle, what is this?" Murong Feng was surprised.
The Seventh Uncle smiled and said, "This is a new type of robot soldier that we just came up with, specially designed to deal with demons and evil spirits!" ā
Murong Feng stared at this new type of robot and didn't know what expression to make. Because the appearance of this new robot soldier really resembles a demon slaying and demon slaying ...... Taoist!
Carrying a seven-star sword, wearing an underworld robe, an electric light cannon in one hand, and a ghost drawing talisman in the other, you can be as nondescript as you want......
Murong Feng covered his face, and said in his heart that he was too indulgent to these old guys? So much so that the brains of these old guys are about to break through the sky!
Seeing that Murong Feng covered his face and was speechless, the seventh uncle couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Feng'er, don't look at the appearance of this new type of robot, it's a bit nondescript, but this is created by our scientific research department that combines the top technology of the three civilizations." ā
"The three major civilizations?" Murong Feng asked expressionlessly.
"These three civilizations are naturally science fiction, magic and fantasy." The seventh uncle laughed.
Murong Feng's face had already begun to darken. The seventh uncle hurriedly stopped joking and said solemnly: "Okay, it's better to let you see it with your own eyes if you say more." ā
The seventh uncle clicked a few times on the console as he spoke, and then saw the 'Taoist priest' start to leave the bracket and walk to the center of the weapon test site. A large cage rose next to the field, and a group of trembling Bloodblade Demons were held in the cage.
As the cage door opened, a large number of weapons were thrown in front of these Bloodblade Demons.
The seventh uncle leaned down into the microphone and said, "If you can kill the soldier in front of you, you will be free." ā
More than a dozen Blood Blade Demon Clan soldiers glanced at each other, and immediately scrambled to pick up the weapons in front of them, and then rushed out of the cage to surround the 'Daoists'.
"The show begins." The seventh uncle laughed and pressed the attack button.
When the 'Taoist priest' received the order to attack, his green eyes immediately turned red.
"Up! Kill it! "At this time, a Blood Blade Demon Clan shouted and rushed forward to make a false move, but the real killing machine came from behind the 'Daoist'. The two Bloodblade Demons silently stabbed their blades from behind.
Seeing that the 'Taoist' faced the front and back attacks, he raised his hand very calmly and threw a ghost talisman into the air, shining a round of golden light, and immediately the three Blood Blade Demons were frozen and unable to move on the spot.
The 'Daoist' took the opportunity to pull out the seven-star sword and cut off the heads of the three people with a roll, and then raised the muzzle of the cannon to face another Bloody Blade Demon who had just rushed in front of him.
With the roar, the body of the Blood Blade Demon Clan was directly torn apart by the explosion, scaring the rest of the people into fear.
But the 'Taoist priest' didn't mean to show mercy to his subordinates at all, and with a wave of his hand, he threw out two ghost painting talismans and sprayed out several large fireballs and smashed them into the crowd. Then he shook his sword and brought out a wind blade that swept towards the last few bloodblade demons who were frightened.
The seventh uncle pressed the stop button with a satisfied face, the 'Taoist priest' turned around and walked back to the bracket, and several cleaning robots flew in and began to clean up the mess.
"How? Xiao Feng'er, isn't the robot that Uncle Seventh made this time amazing? The seventh uncle asked with a smug face.
Murong Feng rubbed his chin and groaned for a long time before he asked directly, "What is the cost of this guy if it is mass-produced?" ā
Uncle Qi's smile stiffened, and he said embarrassedly: "This model can only be made in limited quantities, and cannot be mass-produced." ā
Murong Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?" ā
Uncle Seven said with a dry smile: "Because some core components can only be made by hand, such as the magic transformation device and the talisman carving device, they cannot be mass-produced. Therefore, this model can only be used as a main general escort or a dead soldier. ā
Murong Feng rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Did you guys make an expensive toy after working on it for a long time?" ā
The seventh uncle hurriedly said: "Xiao Feng'er, don't be angry first, although it took a lot of resources to study this hybrid model, it also gave us a lot of inspiration. For this purpose, we have also created a low-profile production version. ā
"Then pull it out and let me see." Murong Feng pouted.
The seventh uncle hurriedly gave an order, and then saw a tractor dragging a robot to the experimental site.
Murong Feng immediately asked with black lines on his face, "Isn't this the Fortress Type I?" ā
The robot in front of you can be regarded as the most classic style in the robot family.
Its unremarkable appearance, simple and crude firepower configuration, easy repair and low cost made it almost run through the entire period of the robot war era.
Therefore, the robot soldiers used by the Burning Legion today are also this classic version, and they were directly pulled to the battlefield without any unnecessary modifications.
"This is the second generation of the fortress, and we have improved on the original one." The seventh uncle said proudly.
Murong Feng sighed and said, "Okay, then let me see what improvements there are." ā
A robot soldier that has gone through countless baptisms of war and has not been eliminated after hundreds of years, even an internal line may have been optimized to the best position by countless craftsmen. It can be said that the Fortress I machine in front of him may not be the most powerful robot, but it is certainly the most perfect robot soldier in all aspects. And if you want to further transform on this basis, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult.
I just don't know what changes Uncle Seven has made to this classic model. (To be continued.) )
