Optimus Fort, the command center of the military headquarters.

In fact, the military department is just a general name, and its real name is [United Army Unified Management Department].

As a recorder of the military department, Cheng Xin feels that his heart is undergoing a great test today.

Originally, his boss told him that there was an important meeting in the command center, and the recorder thought it was just a normal daily meeting.

But when he saw his colleagues, including his boss, leaving the command hall one after another, he realized that today's meeting was definitely not simple.

As a result, Wade, the old minister of the Strategy Department, walked in, this old man with a quarter of the Western Continent blood, although he was just an ordinary person, he was very powerful. Looking forward to it, it makes people tremble.

As soon as the white-haired veteran walked into the command hall, Cheng Xin suddenly wondered if the central air conditioner was out of order, otherwise why would there be a scorching breath in the air.

Fortunately, the old man didn't look at him, and walked straight to the center of the hall, in front of a round multi-functional electronic table. Then, among the only five seats, choose one to sit down.

Before Cheng Xin could catch his breath, a fresh floral fragrance poured into his nose. When you close your eyes, you can see the snow and plums in full bloom.

Then the rhythmic footsteps made the recorder can't help but look at the door.

A tall woman figure walked in from outside the door, her long black hair parted lightly in the air, and her cold and gorgeous face made the recorder forget to breathe for a while.

But then, the dark purple uniform on the woman's body and the golden star on her shoulder made Cheng Xin's heart beat wildly again.

Because she is the general of the Storm Legion and has a noble status, but she is still unwilling to choose a strange woman with a surname for herself, Feimei!

The female general, who had lightly applied makeup, swept the hall, and when her gaze swept over the process, the recorder felt cold all over, as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar.

Although he has grown so big, he has never seen real ice and snow.

Feimei sat down across from old Wade, who looked up, only nodded slightly, and was busy typing something into a communicator.

"Old fellow, what the hell is the matter, you want to call us over. Don't you know, I'm busy. ”

A loud voice rang out from outside the hall door, and then a figure crowded in the doorway.

That's right.

It's squeezing!

Even though he is no longer young, his burly body still makes many young people ashamed. The Nightkin's long black uniform was casually draped over his body, acting as a pitch-black cloak.

The old man with an eyepatch on his right eye and a mechanical arm on his left hand is none other than the commander of the Nightkin, Yu Yan.

He sat next to Feimei with a grin, and said, "The little girl is getting longer and more peugeot, if you don't consider that kid Ling Feng, I think you two are a good match." ”

A rare look of helplessness flashed on Feimei's face: "Commander Zhen, don't waste your strength, I never thought about getting married." ”

Zhen Yan sighed: "You are so good, so good that no man can match you." But Feimei, the girl has to find a home, otherwise, she will be very lonely in the future. ”

Old Wade on the other side raised his head and sneered: "It's just that you are nosy." ”

Yu Yan snorted from his nostrils: "It's better than your old thing that calculates people all day long." ”

The recorder not far away shrank back, just afraid that the two of them would quarrel.

"Sorry, it's late."

The fourth person who walked in through the gate was much younger than the two veterans, a middle-aged man who was less than fifty years old.

He was wearing the black and blue uniform of the city guard's [Iron Wall], gloves, military boots, and gun holsters, and he was neatly dressed and meticulous.

The recorder felt that he was about to faint, this was Cao Gang, the commander of the iron wall. Coupled with his words, then in the power multi-word tower of the fortress, all the big people of the second tier have arrived.

Cao Gang took a seat and looked at Old Wade: "The city lord can't come if he has something, Minister Wade, we can start." ”

Old Wade hummed: "Before the meeting, I would like to ask you to take a look at some fragments. ”

He activated a control interface on the sleek tabletop, and with the tap of his finger, a set of holograms appeared above the table.

In it, a squad of Nightkin can be seen fighting.

Zhen Yan sighed, "That's our raven team, aren't they going to recover the Star Pillar of the Essence?" What did you do with the Prowler..."

Old Wade said slowly: "On the way to the lighthouse base, I met a small group of wanderers, and we are currently carrying out a clean-up operation. ”

Yu Yan was puzzled: "Old thing, what are you letting us see?" Also, who is filming? ”

Old Wade replied, "One of my subordinates, I asked him to participate in this operation. He brought a storm squad, which General Feimei should know. ”

Feimei bowed: "I've read the report, and it says that it is a test of the actual combat function of the 5th generation of armament." ”

"That's right..."

In the holographic screen, a 5th generation shooting-type stereo weapon passes by, and as the screen closes, it can be seen that the stereo weapon is strafing another group of prowlers.

The Minister of Strategy glanced at the communicator: "Unfortunately, there are prowlers around here. But it doesn't matter, judging from the performance of this 5th generation armed aircraft, it is not a problem to annihilate those black people. ”

Sure enough, it only took 3 minutes for the fifth-generation armed plane to clean up a group of wanderers numbering about 300.

The screen stops playing.

Zhen Yan seemed to feel something, and his tone became cold: "Old thing, what do you mean by this." ”

"It's nothing, I just want everyone to feel the power of technology."

Old Wade spread out his hand, and a smile welled up on the corner of his mouth: "As everyone can see, it took about 5 minutes for the Raven Squad to annihilate less than a hundred wanderers; The Storm Squad sent only one weapon, and not only did it wipe out more of the Dark People, but it took less time. ”

"Next, let's compare the cost, as we all know, sublimators...... Even if it is a low-level sublimator, it is also a big gold absorber. According to incomplete statistics, the resources we invest in these sublimators every year are enough to produce 300 5th generation weapons. ”

"There are 300 units, and they can be repaired, they can be replaced, and they can be in service for at least ten years and eight years. Let's look at the sublimators again, how many new awakened people are there every year, are there twenty? ”

Feimei shook her head: "No, on average, there are about 10.5 newly awakened sublimators every year. ”

Old Wade slapped his palm on the table: "That's right, it's less than 11." And they consume too many resources, and the battle damage rate is not low. The most important thing is that the investment in them is not a one-time thing, but an ongoing one. ”

"Let's think about it, if the same resources are used for mass production of three-dimensional weapons. Ten years later, the three-dimensional armament of the Storm Legion can exceed 3,000 units, what kind of armed force will it be? ”

Zhen Yan snorted: "Old Wade, what do you want to say, just say it directly." ”

Old Wade cleared his throat and stood up and said, "I want to say that the resources invested by the sublimators are not proportional to their contributions. Of course, I'm not saying they're useless. It's just that if you think about it properly, maybe we can reduce our investment in sublimators a little bit, and then use these resources in a more appropriate position! ”

The air in the command hall suddenly froze, and the recorder's hand hovered over the electronic board, and he didn't dare to record this sentence.
