ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF INFORMATION IN THE COLUMN BOX ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE IMAGE, THE WHOLE MACHINE IS 11 METERS TALL AND 3 METERS WIDE, THE LOWER LIMBS ARE EQUIPPED WITH ALL-TERRAIN SUSPENSION AND HYDRAULIC CUSHIONING EQUIPMENT, THE COCKPIT IS DESIGNED WITH BULLETPROOF MATERIALS, WHICH CAN DEFEND AGAINST CANNON STRAFING BELOW 30MM FRONTALLY, AND THE MAIN ARMOR CAN RESIST HOWITZERS BELOW 120MM.

The attack method of the ground fighter is somewhat special, and its weapon system is not ordinary grenades, high-explosive bombs, kinetic warheads, guided missiles and other conventional weapons, but high-energy lasers.

The three tentacles on the head of the "disciple" are completely composed of zero-element polymer, which has strong energy conductivity and high toughness, and can rotate 360 degrees and move up and down. The diamond crystal in the middle of the claw-shaped structure at the tip is also composed of zero-element polymer, but compared with the zero-element polymer on the tentacle, the purity is higher, and the micron-sized zero-element particles are arranged in a tight and orderly manner under high pressure to form a high-permeability concentrating crystal, which can be highly polymerized with the gain and resonance device to form a cluster laser to release it.

Agile and fast, this giant fighter not only has a strong lethality against mechanized infantry and light loads, but can also burn through the armor of most main battle tanks in a certain period of time. If it cooperates with the battlefield digital chain network, or installs a scanning and locking system for flying targets, it can form a strong threat to light air targets such as fighters and armed shuttles.

To put it bluntly, the "Disciple" is an all-round land weapon that integrates infantry killing, vehicle destruction, and air defense. Of course, there is no such thing as perfection, and disciples have their weaknesses. First, the cost is high, this thing is not a poor quality avoidance, pregnancy, and set of two on the gift rack of the gender outpatient giveaway. Not to mention the precision instruments such as energy, gain, and resonance devices, the average planetary army with zero element consumption alone cannot afford to procure them.

Second, the body size is too large, which means that the target is large, and it is easier to become the enemy's key object of care. Indeed, a single tank, fighter plane, or anything is not enough to threaten it. But what about tank brigades, fighter wings in droves? Also, the high-energy laser of the "Protégé" can burn through the main battle tank, but it does not mean that it can damage space warships.

IN TODAY'S ERA, THE ACTUAL ARMOR THICKNESS OF THE MAIN BATTLE TANK COVERED WITH CHOBHAM ARMOR IS 300MM, AND ITS PROTECTION CAPACITY IS EQUIVALENT TO 800MM-2400MM HOMOGENEOUS ROLLED ARMOR ACCORDING TO THE TYPE, STRUCTURE AND MATERIAL OF THE WARHEAD FROM THE ATTACK. But when it comes to the realm of space warships, because of the armor casting technology of Ipsil Dragon Technology, take the Longsword-class frigate of the Star Alliance as an example. THE ACTUAL THICKNESS OF THE ARMOR IS ABOUT 600MM, BUT IF IT IS CONVERTED INTO HOMOGENEOUS ROLLED ARMOR, IT CAN REACH AN ASTONISHING 9000MM. What does this number represent? 9 meters thick pure steel plate!

This is only a 120-meter Longsword-class frigate, and the strongbow-class destroyers, Tomahawk-class cruisers, and Kong-class battleships on it, how terrifying should they be? The "disciples" cannot break through their armor, but they can easily lock on to the "disciples". Therefore, in a ground war, once naval ships are involved. The fate of the "disciples" can be imagined.

Third, the problem of heat dissipation. It is true that "disciple" can be said to be an epoch-making research achievement, a new product that inherits the past and the future. For the first time, high-energy laser weapons have been miniaturized to land combat units, and they are not used for anti-missile, communications, jamming, and small-scale experimental strikes, as in the past. It's really weaponized and put into real combat. In time, it is not impossible to mass-produce this weapon.

However, just like shipborne laser cannons, heat dissipation is a big issue. In the space environment. The shipboard radiator array can provide a powerful heat dissipation effect, but on a relatively small land vehicle such as the "Disciple", how to dissipate heat is a big problem. According to the introduction on the PDA, through joint development by several scientific research departments of "Iga Industries", the problem of the century was finally solved, and the huge heat dissipation system was compressed into a particle heat dissipation furnace array, which was fixed on the back of the "disciple".

It is true that the new heat dissipation system solves the combat endurance of the "Disciple", however, the attack speed of the "Disciple" is limited by the amount of heat dissipation per unit time, and it is impossible to carry out high-frequency continuous attacks, so this giant fighter is not suitable for fighting alone, and it is a good choice to play the main attacker in the advance of the army group.

The above is the relevant information obtained by the Tang side from the data of the PDA.

"It seems that the scientific research department of Iga Industry still has a few brushes." Tang Fang couldn't help but nodded, according to the content of the R&D log in the PDA, the development idea of the "Protégé" weapon system came from the remains of an Ipsilong ground vehicle equipped with a large-caliber laser cannon.

Combined with the development schedule at the end of the R&D log, the experimental model of the "Disciple" was launched six months ago, and now it is being evaluated in terms of combat effectiveness, defense power, adaptability, etc., and its software and hardware systems are being improved according to the information feedback.

In the official database of "Iga Industries", "disciples" are definitely S-level files, and their R&D, manufacturing, and evaluation processes have always attracted the attention of the company's top management and even the board of directors.

A war weapon like the "Disciple" is not like the "Mirage", "Thunder King" tank, and "Wildfire" tank that Tang Fang saw at the "Galaxy" Armaments R&D Center in Crotan.

In the Star Alliance, different military enterprises have different styles of weapons, just like "Iga Industry", which can be described as a pillar enterprise in the field of combat aircraft, just like the defense aircraft encountered in the administrative division of the main port of "Lokia" before, which was manufactured by "Iga Industry". For example, the "Rover Technology Consortium" has high attainments in quantum computers and various types of chips.

Of course, in terms of space warship manufacturing, because it is jointly developed by the R&D department of the military industrial enterprise and the scientific research department of the Star Alliance, the difference in style is not so big.

Let's talk about "disciples." First, this kind of giant combat aircraft can be called the façade product of "Iga Industry", once successfully developed, it will become a banner of the enterprise, as long as it is supplemented by appropriate advertising, it is bound to push the influence of "Iga Industry" in the field of combat aircraft to the extreme.

Second, the most critical. And most importantly, the success of the "Disciple" R&D program represents scientific and technological progress, and laser weapons have been extended from the space battlefield to the ground battlefield, and have become more miniaturized, combat-oriented, modular, and efficient. To put it bluntly, a "disciple" is just a step. A cornerstone, on this basis in the future, "Iga Industry" will gradually add bricks and tiles on this basis, and develop more practical and powerful weapons, so as to occupy the entire laser weapon market.

To sum up, "Iga Industries" has spent a lot of money on the research and development of "disciples", and it is impossible to scrap them, and one day, "disciples" will appear on the arms purchase list of the Star Alliance government.

"'Disciple' ...... 'Thor'...... Tsk, tsk. Tut. What would it be like if one day the "disciple" and "Thor" appeared on the battlefield at the same time? Tang Fang suddenly had a very vicious thought, and there was another sentence.

"Good son, shout 'Daddy' to listen."

But I don't know how such a secret weapon-making process came into the hands of His Excellency the Chief Executive? Recalling his previous conversation with Clement, he thought of Junichi Fukui, and the poor child must have put a lot of thought into getting this information, but it was a pity. In the end, it is cheaper for itself. "Let your scheming old man, you deserve it!"

It's no wonder that these numbers of information can unlock the Evil Bat and Thor...... Tang Fang casually flicked a number of jù crystal cards. Fished it in the palm of his hand again, and then, his eyes narrowed tighter and tighter: "Junichi Fukui, what should I do with the information in this?" It's for your own use...... Or sell back 'Iga Industries'? Do you think that old guy from Kota Iwashita will be mad? ”

"Ding Dong!" Just when Tang Fang was pondering whether the lion opened his mouth and Yin "Iga Industrial", there was a bell at the door. Putting away a few jù crystal cards turned his head to look, Johnny's face appeared in the monitor.

He smiled slightly, as if he knew that the merchant was coming, straightened up, and said casually, "Please come in."

"Huh!" The security door opens. Johnny walked into the room alone: "The people outside are busy with a pot of porridge, you can sit here and drink tea." The merchant said as he walked over to the single sofa on the left and sat down.

"I know why you're here." Tang Fang didn't let him make tea, and he didn't be polite to him.

"Hmm...... You know? Johnny was stunned, and when he was young, he shook his head helplessly, as if he thought of something: "You guy, a thief, you can't hide anything from you." ”

Tang Fang smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but did not reply.

"Brother Tang, I advise you to think twice, this is not a trivial matter......" The merchant looked worried.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind."

Johnny's face changed, and he persuaded again: "Brother Tang, don't think too much, I am not here this time from the position of the manager of the 'Rover Technology Consortium' office in 'Lokia', but as a friend to persuade you. Although I don't know the specific purpose of your large-scale acquisition of mineral resources, whether it is used for metal smelting or mineral trade, there is no major problem. Only in ship manufacturing, the water in this industry is so deep that even I, an industry insider, am afraid of it. Brother, listen to my brother's words, don't go inside. ”

"Huh?" After hearing his words, Tang Fang couldn't help frowning. Johnny had already guessed the purpose of the businessman's visit before he even entered the door, but what he didn't expect was that Johnny had not come to stand up for the company, but to visit in a private capacity.

The idea of forming "Morning Star Casting" was born after he killed Junichi Fukui and Clement, and he didn't mention it to Johnny when he first came to "Jakarta Pur".

If you stand in the perspective of the manager of the "Rover Technology Consortium" in the "Lokia" office, and learn that he is going to form "Morningstar Casting", Johnny's first consideration should be the follow-up transaction between the two parties, as well as the impact on the Star Alliance ship market after the completion of "Morningstar Foundry". Unexpectedly, the businessman was the first to persuade him in his private capacity.

To be honest, Tang Fang was both a little surprised and a little moved.

He knew that the water in the arms market had always been very mixed. If an alien organization wants to gain a foothold in the Star Alliance, it also has to reach out to the military fire realm, and how many difficulties and how many obstacles it will encounter in this will be known by thinking about it with your ass.

Johnny's concern was legitimate, however, there was one thing he didn't take into account. The depth of the water, that's for the dwarf, what if the guy who is dripping in the water is a giant?

How did Johnny know that the political storm staged by the Bull star system in Jakarta was nothing more than a piece of rubble that Tang Fang casually threw into the middle of the lake, you must know that he was behind him. There's also a whole quarry.

"I appreciate my brother's kindness, but this matter ......"

How could Johnny not hear the meaning of Tang Fang's words, on the one hand, he felt helpless, and on the other hand, he was worried about him, and his old face was like the stick noodles under the chef, and he changed for a while: "Alas. Leaving aside the start-up capital and the sales side of things, just the most basic problem in front of you, where do you recruit reliable people? With 'Garuda', the mud can't support the master of the wall? Scolding and fighting on the street may not be a problem, but it is not ordinarily difficult for them to calm down and engage in business and production activities. ”

"This is only one aspect, personnel and everything are soft resources, and then talk about the hardware foundation, do you have a territory? Do you have the equipment? Even though the main product of 'Morningstar Foundry' is a civilian-class ship. You can't build an industrial base in deep space, can you? Stronghold forces and large pirate groups will become your hidden dangers, but if you lease the 'land' of the Star Alliance government, then you will inevitably get involved in the whirlpool of local and even central political struggles. As for the production equipment, do you know how much manpower and material resources are required to build a dock-type space station, and how long it will take? In addition to this, there must be a certain amount of scientific and technological strength, of course. In terms of core technology, I believe that you are not lacking, but. To maintain the operation of a large shipyard, from raw material procurement, to processing and manufacturing, to assembly and molding, and then to quality inspection and performance evaluation. Combined, the number of workers required in these links can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. ”

Not to mention, we also have to deal with the relationship with upstream and downstream cooperative enterprises, and beware of malicious framing by peers. Maintain a good relationship with the government. ”

"Have you thought about any of this? Ever thought about it! Seeing that Tang was expressionless, drinking tea there unhurriedly from beginning to end, Johnny became more and more angry the more he talked, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, his kind intentions were to persuade him to consider it carefully, but the person concerned, Hang Erlangdang, had a stubborn expression that he couldn't "deduct some earwax and bomb your face".

This is due to the Tang side, if you want to change someone else, the businessman will already fly over with the sole of his shoe, and he will not bring such a diaphragm!

"Did you hear all of that? Think about it, young people, don't take it for granted, it's good to be motivated, but society is dark, the situation is complicated, people's hearts are unpredictable, before making a decision, you must first make a field trip, find out the situation, and think carefully......" Johnny slapped the table and said for most of the day, his voice went from high to low, getting smaller and smaller, and his emotions slowly calmed down, and he suddenly realized something, something that he ignored in a state of anger.

Looking at a series of large and small events that occurred after the Morningstar entered the Bul star system in Jakarta, the "Rover Technology Consortium", "Iga Industries", small pirates, local governments, and the navy, in just over a day, the situation of "Lokia" can be described as changing rapidly, and the tide is surging, but what did the kid on the other side do? Motionless like a mountain, seeing the moves, anyone who plays with him, none of them ends well, a big war is over, and the treatment, prestige, and benefits are full of money.

It is true that the idea of forming the "Morning Star Casting" was his temporary idea, but combined with all the past appearances, God knows what kind of calculations he is playing in his heart, and the young man on the other side, who seems to be lazy and even struggles to move his ass, must really be shrewd, and he is definitely more slippery than those old fritters in the council.

Thinking of this, Johnny was like a jammed machine gun, and suddenly he was dumbfounded.

Tang Fang gently blew away the tea leaves gathered in the water cup, and glanced up at him with some surprise: "Huh? Why don't you say it? ”

Johnny didn't care whether the cup in front of him had been used or not, picked it up, drank most of it in one go, and then put the cup on the coffee table, didn't say a word of farewell, got up and walked to the door.

This time, it was Tang Fang's turn to be puzzled: "Hey, what are you doing here?" ”

Johnny looked back at him with an indignant look on his face and threw down the phrase, "I shouldn't have come!" With that, he turned around and moved on.

When Tang Fang heard the music, he looked at him with frowns: "You have a lot of ideas, or ...... Don't be an office manager for the Rover, learn how to cook with me. ”

Johnny struck a black line in his head: "Can I think you're digging into the corner of the 'Rover'?" ”

"It doesn't matter......" Tang Fangping raised his hands and made an innocent expression.

"You guy!" Johnny sighed and walked out of the room without looking back.

……

Due to the cooperation of the Xinggang government, the relevant application and approval procedures of "Morningstar Casting" are extremely fast and smooth. After Khan, Addison and others signed the lease contract, they temporarily bid farewell to the Tang side and took a fast shuttle to the stealth place of the "Garuda" pirates to gather their subordinates.

After planning what Walton and Joy were going to do next, and working with Dalton, Gardner, and Washington, the interim chief executive of "Lokia", the Morningstar submitted its departure application early the next morning and sailed out of the Jakarta Bull star system.

Johnny guessed well, Tang Fang is not one of those officials in the office who drink tea and flip through the newspapers, and his ass determines the way of thinking, since he made the decision to form "Morning Star Casting", he already has a general development outline in his heart.
