Chapter Seventy-Three: The Night of the Sale of Gold (3)
A beam of chasing light sprinkled from a high place, illuminating a figure standing in the center of the high platform. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was a tall, thin, tuxedo-clad man who greeted everyone in the stands with a smile before reaching out and picking up the microphone hanging from the ceiling and bringing it to his lips: "Good evening, distinguished guests!" "There's a warm, magnetic flavor in his voice that sounds very comfortable." Once a year, the biggest auction of the year is about to begin, and tonight's auctioneer, William. King. On behalf of the organizers of this event, I would like to thank you all for coming!! ”
With his pause, everyone applauded, and after the warm applause stopped, the King William simply got to the point: "Tonight we have prepared two batches for you, a total of more than 200 lots, I believe you will be satisfied, let's start the first batch of ......"
With his words, several staff members quickly stepped up to the stage and lifted the red cloth covering the items on the stage one by one. "There are nine lots in the first lot tonight." William. Wang's narration continued after the red cloth was lifted: "This batch of lots should be the favorite of the cold weapon lovers among the guests here, and their rarity is extraordinary, even as an auctioneer, I feel very hot." ”
It must be admitted that Mr. William was very good at creating a warm atmosphere, and in a few words the people in the room were already clearly in an uproar; And the organizers are obviously fully prepared for this auction, and the first batch of items taken out is very good.
Human beings have been using kinetic weapons for thousands of years, and all kinds of powerful individual soldiers and heavy weapons and equipment can be described as endless; As early as the Common Era of the Earth, humans possessed the power to destroy the world many times.
In the imperial period, it was even more terrifying, in the early days, it was difficult to obtain good results in the space environment for weapons that needed to rely on violent chemical reactions to bring lethality, so the development of kinetic weapons shifted to electromagnetic energy, high-power lasers, and compression energy bursts as the main direction.
The large amount of resources brought by the interstellar development has made the development of these types of weapons quite smooth, and up to now, the shipborne electromagnetic energy and laser weapons installed by the empire have been very mature; For example, the Empire is now equipped with the most 150,000-ton "Falcon"-class high-speed space assault ship, and the combat power of just one can completely destroy the surface of a planet the size of a black star.
Of course, where there is a spear, there is a shield, and after electromagnetic energy and laser solve the problem of the spear well, the compression energy technology has made great achievements in the aspect of "shield"; The shield technology, developed through the slow-release effect of high-compression energy bursts, has improved the self-protection ability of human beings in space flight by several orders of magnitude.
At the same time, because the manufacturing, storage, transportation and use of high-compression energy cartridges are extremely convenient, most individual weapons and ground equipment mostly use energy weapons; And on a resource planet like Molybdenum Mine 045, where I was born, the energy bomb is the best partner of ordinary mine workers like Dad, and the precisely controlled burst has helped him and his co-workers save too much energy to dig rocks.
According to the general law of the development of things, cold weapons should have little practical value for people in this era, but the advent of the era of transforming people has changed this phenomenon to a certain extent.
As we all know, ordinary humans can almost be called superhuman to a certain extent after being transformed, and this is not an exaggeration, just like the situation I had in the duel between St. Louis and Meryl, and the bullets I fired with the help of enhanced perception were almost all dodged by Meryl; In fact, Meryl is not considered the fastest in the transformation of people, in the previous special training, Hailin's speed without using the transformation was enough to stump Neville, the fastest among the instructors, and he did not successfully hit her once during the entire training stage.
I also tried confrontation exercises with Hailin alone, and on the premise that I didn't use ultrasound, it was completely impossible to hit her after the transformation, and there were also meat shield-type transformers like Instructor Wolfgang, who could even resist ordinary energy bullets in the transformed state...... It is precisely for this reason that the best way to deal with the transhuman soldiers can only be to dispatch the transhuman in the same way, and the duel between them is difficult to solve with ordinary kinetic weapons.
As a result, the use of certain special alloys and forging processes, coupled with some of the most high-tech rechargeable cold weapons, can have a turning effect in the transformation duel, and as soon as it appears, it immediately becomes the first choice of most reformers above level 4.
After transforming people to have the strength beyond ordinary people, a side effect is also widely recognized, that is, the beast nature contained in human bones has also been released in us, and it is better below the third level, after all, they are still just normal people who have developed their potential; After reaching the fourth level and undergoing secondary modification and injecting into the genomes of other species, the modified humans have become non-human beings to a certain extent.
Especially injected into the genome of more aggressive animals, this bloodthirsty beast is more outward, and the duel of cold weapons, the scattered flesh and blood after the blade hits the body, can meet and alleviate the needs of this beast to a large extent, so that it can be controlled.
The method used by the official transformation of the mature empire is to suppress drugs and use virtual technology, so that the reformers belonging to the empire can release their beast nature, while the reformers in the underground world cannot get such benefits, and their only choice is to really fight the beasts, or...... It's just going to be against each other.
In fact, this is also the original intention of the creation of the Dark Transformation Cup, after all, high-level transformers are a pivotal force for every underground organization, and it is not worth it for them to lose because of the battle caused by the beast nature in their bones, so there is this event that allows them to concentrate and release the beast nature, which is also the reason for the extremely high casualty rate of this event.
In the mission statement before coming to Black Star, Instructor Li spent a lot of time telling us all this, and later in the training, Instructor Liang conducted individual training for each of us, helping everyone in the team master their own cold weapon combat skills (he called that 'routine').
The conditions on the Black Dragon are limited, although we all have our own weapon routines, but the "guys" who really take advantage of it are not yet, and we can only temporarily use some of the military's standard equipment. So, as soon as the "veil" of the first lots was lifted, my attention became very focused, and as one of the main controllers of the team, it was my responsibility to find the right weapons for the players.
