"Bang dang...... Bang Dang ......"

As if the sound of continuous stamping never stopped, the huge machine was constantly pulled up and down, stamping and forming pieces of iron plates, and then pushed onto the conveyor belt by pneumatic push rods.

The creaking conveyor belt keeps sending the freshly stamped iron plate parts to the next workshop, and after several cutting processes, it is then coated with an anti-erosion coating based on toner and silica, supplemented by special resin materials, and enters the baking paint workshop.

After a series of baking and cooling, a complete armor plate can be regarded as running the entire production line, stacked together in a pile of twelve, and packed by the vehicle-shaped robot to the final assembly workshop.

The whole factory was so huge that there were only two janitors and two technicians working from beginning to end, and the unformed armor plates spent most of their time on conveyor belts, constantly hammered and cut by various machines......

…… Such an advanced "unmanned factory" is rare even on earth.

However, not all processes are so simple and can be processed with simple repetitive movements.

For example, final assembly.

It can be said that the final assembly shop is the second place with the second highest number of workers in the entire robot manufacturing process.

Although there are many arm-like robots here to help with some heavy or repetitive work, many of these overly delicate tasks need to be done by humans.

And the workshop with the greatest demand for manpower is actually the test workshop. The assembled robot will be installed with software, and then the workers will manually test its various reactions, joints, crisis management capabilities, network communication capabilities, etc......

…… After dozens of tests, a defense robot is produced.

However, building this robot requires the cooperation of dozens of parts production factories and the hard work of dozens of workers...... But in reality, it can only be used as cannon fodder.

A defense robot requires a huge amount of resources, and its main opponents are the Hoppers and Corruptors.

Needless to say, the Corrosion Breaker is another type of worm that uses acid spewers to attack.

When the Corruptor first appeared, it really caused a lot of trouble to the Desert Star Base - because the defense robots at that time had not yet been coated with anti-corrosion coatings, and the Corrosion Destroyers could scrap a robot with just one attack.

At that time, the robots produced in the factories were not even as many as those that were destroyed on the front lines...... And no matter how dominant the sky is, it will not be able to resist the steady stream of ground troops.

Thankfully, an operator's stumble discovery shortly afterward saved the precarious situation by settling a robot that had been smeared with the slime of a bug and then rolled in sand and fire, leaving a thick layer of sand, ash, and unburned carbon on the armor.

Later studies found that a simple mixture of toner and sand could greatly reduce the rate of decay, making the acid spewed out by the corroders much less powerful.

However, before the discovery of this coating, the Wasteland Base did not resist the huge pressure of the insects, and lost many mines in a row, and even the "Werewolf Mine" was almost lost, if it weren't for the black big man who was anti-water before and his foodie werewolf brother helped stand up and led the other werewolves to resist desperately for more than ten hours, Chen Zheng and they would have lost the last reliable source of metal on the Wasteland.

Of course, after this, when the battle line stabilized again, the captives in the werewolf mine were pardoned as slaves and officially joined the Desert Star Base, becoming official members recognized by Chen Zheng.

However, the werewolves are still stationed in the werewolf mine for the time being, and have not met the inhabitants of the base - after all, their violent tendencies and appetites make people have to be careful not to resist eating the first inhabitants of the first ......

During the time that Chen Zheng returned to Earth, the power of the insects became bigger and bigger.

A few months ago, the Desert Star Base no longer had the ability to send high-altitude long-endurance drones to monitor distant Bug bases - due to the continuous development of the Bug's air force, it was difficult for drones to break through the opponent's air defense network.

If you want to investigate, you can only send a Viking drone piloted by a small person to break out of the encirclement and spy on the bugs' movements in a limited time before the bugs mobilize their forces to encircle and suppress them.

And this last source of information has also been cut off from a small departure, it can be said that the surrounding area of the Desert Star Base is occupied by bugs, even if there is no temporary base of bugs, there will be no constant patrol of the Wyvern team.

It can be said that the forces of the insects have surrounded the Desert Star Base tightly......

……

"Is the situation already so grim......" After listening to everyone's reports, Chen Zheng suddenly stood up and bowed to everyone in the desolate star: "I'm sorry, I've worked hard for you." ”

“……”

The man with glasses hurriedly waved his hand, and several other aliens were also surprised and couldn't believe it. And the reaction of the people on the earth was much better, and one after another said that they were not hard, and they almost shouted "good chief" and "serve the people......

“…… We all know you're working hard, and we all trust you. Dong Jie concluded.

“…… Suffice it to say that your hard work has been worth it. Chen Zheng adjusted his watch to include the scenery in the root range around him into the holographic projection.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see our hopes." Chen Zheng turned on the projection and walked all the way up the stairs......

This is a large shopping mall in the past.

The mall was mostly destroyed during the Sky Leak Incident, and after this period of restoration, it became the site of the second phase of training for the trainees.

……

On the other side of the projection, on the barren star that is not many light years away, people's eyes followed Chen Zheng's figure until they came to the second floor of this building, the hall with a transparent glass floor.

Underneath the floor, there are small rooms, each of which houses a huge panorama simulator of 54 screens.

Trainees wear shutter-style 3D glasses, half-lying in the simulator, battling virtual characters that don't exist. The instructor corps, composed of Instructor Lin and the four Soldier Kings, will patrol the rooms of the trainees to ensure that they do not have any physical problems.

"Here, you can see all the trainees who are currently training with us...... The worst level among them can already single-handedly pick up a flying dragon formation, and the best among them is this student. ”

As he spoke, Chen Zheng clapped his hands, and then Chen Ning walked in from the side door with the genius pilot Liu Xiaofeng.

The fat man Liu Xiaofeng was a little blindfolded - a bunch of people who seemed to have no entity were staring at him fiercely, and the expressions on everyone's faces looked a little strange......

"That...... I want to pee......" The little fat man shrank back, a little stage fright.

Chen Zheng didn't care about his cowardice at all, grabbed his arm and pulled him over: "Let me introduce you to you, this is our new member, the flying genius among the flying geniuses, it has only been half a year since he started to contact drones, and it has only been less than 2 months since he received formal training......

"Just yesterday, he was in the second week of sparring with Xiaoxiao...... He has been able to achieve a little two-thirds!! And he's still improving!! ”

"Oh my God!?"

"Really!?"

"Can you keep up with a small pace!?"

"Of course......" Chen Zheng patted the little fat man on the shoulder vigorously, "Even if I fight him now, it will be a little difficult!" ”

"Wow......"

With Chen Zheng's words, the entire conference room on the desolate star exploded, and everyone turned their expectant eyes to this little fat man who was not amazing.

That is to say...... Today, we're able to eradicate the C16 bug base! When the time comes, we can restore the supply of tin ore! Chen Zheng said excitedly.

"Hey!!"

"Yo Roar ————"

Looking at the holographic projections of those happy hats, the little fat man had no idea what those strange people were happy about......

"Prepare the Viking fighter and the software link...... This time, Xiaoxiao sat at the base, and Xiaofeng and I leveled the base together. Chen Zheng took the little fat man to the next door of the hall - two huge instruments were already set up here.

"Let's go in, don't have too much burden, you can just play how you usually practice now." Chen Zheng comforted the little fat man while getting into his cockpit.

The little fat man Liu Xiaofeng took a deep breath and got into the cockpit next to him.

"Huh!? This one...... This is different from what we usually use! Liu Xiaofeng said in a little panic.

"Don't be afraid, it's just that the display screen has become a complete piece. Everything else is pretty much the same as what you normally use. Chen Zheng's voice sounded from behind Liu Xiaofeng's side.

The little fat man looked back and saw two speakers attached to the rear.

"Oh......"

The little fat man put the letter back into the cockpit.

But...... In any case, he couldn't believe what was in front of him...... Is it really the technology that will exist on Earth?

Of course not.

This kind of super-large elastic curved screen technology is one of the research results of Lao Xia and the glasses man, which is transformed by using the existing technology on the earth. The curved screen alone is not something that ordinary factories can manufacture, but is "grinded" by Chen Zhengchun little by little.

However, the imaging technology is more ordinary, mainly using holographic projection to convert into dynamic data and then directly input it into the oval screen.

"Ready...... Link Viking Fighter. ”

"The data link is ready, the link countdown...... 3、2、1…… The link is complete. ”

"Link...... Normal, data ...... Stable, you can ignite the engine. Dong Jie consciously supported Chen Zheng.

"Yes." Chen Zheng took a deep breath, then pushed the joystick sharply, and the plane he was flying flew like a rocket into the sky.

"......" saw that Chen Zheng had already flown up, but the little fat man was still staying still.

"This ...... How do you feel that the plane is a little different from usual? How can the wings be so 'heavy'? The little fat man moved the joystick back and forth in confusion, feeling that the feedback speed was not satisfactory.

"It's good to get used to it, and now it's time to fly...... Dong Jie, assign him a supporter. As soon as Chen Zheng's words fell, a soft-spoken female voice sounded behind the little fat man's ears.

"Supporter 013 at your service."

"Huh?" The little fat man panicked even more.

"Since you have been flying a simulation program before, whether it is force feedback or the vibration caused by the air flow, it is actually simulated by the program, so on the one hand, the response speed will be very fast, on the other hand, there will be a certain sense of regularity, maybe you have subconsciously adapted to this kind of law, so you feel a little unfamiliar with the real wing."

"I ...... Really? You ......" the little fat man Liu Xiaofeng was directly confused by the young lady's huge amount of information.

"Now, please familiarize yourself with my voice and get used to it...... Now flatten the wings...... Gently shake the joystick to make the wings tremble slightly...... Think of yourself as a dragonfly......"

“……”

The little fat man Liu Xiaofeng followed the voice of the young lady in a daze, and began to operate a Viking fighter in the wilderness step by step, and unconsciously he was fascinated by the extremely real touch and realistic force feedback......

…… In just two or three minutes, he quickly adapted to the real fighter at an astonishing speed, and accepted some details that could not be virtualized without any rejection.

“…… How long did you use it in the first place? "On the Desert Star, a drone pilot who is now in service tilted his head and asked his teammate - his teammate is the best drone pilot on the Desert Star, there is no one!

"Two weeks ......" At this time, the talented pilot before yesterday had been shocked by Liu Xiaofeng and lost his speech.

Previously, he had also experienced virtual simulation training. It can be said that the virtual training software used by the little fat man is completely the test flight and modification of their group of people.

And even so, when the current genius pilot went from virtual span to reality, there were still all kinds of discomforts, but this little fat man who didn't look amazing seemed to be born with it...... If it weren't for his rustiness before, he wouldn't be able to see a little clumsiness now!!

"......" The two pilots glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the helplessness and ...... in each other's hearts Just relax.

Finally, they could let go of that heavy burden.

On the other hand, the little fat man's side is getting better......

“…… Convergence Wing ...... Push the throttle ...... Take off! Pay attention to control the speed. ”

Under the gentle voice of the young lady, Liu Xiaofeng finally flew a real Viking fighter!

"Yo Roar ————"

The metal wings split through the air, leaving two long trails of moisture......

This feeling of soaring through the real sky is by no means something that ordinary simulation programs can bring.

"I'm flying!! Ha ha...... I'm really flying!! Brother Chen, am I really flying!? ”

The little fat man was already faintly aware of this.

"Of course...... Fly well. ”

Chen Zheng smiled with satisfaction.
