It is said that people always dream of the place where they lived in their childhood, which is the most unforgettable home.

However, Liberty dreamed later that he always dreamed of Marsala's Fort of Shelter.

In his later years, he eventually returned there, rather than staying in Tassanis, where he was born and raised.

"Fort Sanctuary is the city where I feel safe," he said. ”

Even in the years that followed, he felt that there was no place that gave him such a sense of security as Fort Sanctuary.

Many people call it the Iron Prison, Folsom second, but no one will deny the safety here.

Hard, heavy, and solid, the city's style is that it stands like a superfortress in the middle of the wasteland, the wind and sand are blocked by barriers, and at night it is brightly lit, even from space, it is the brightest ball of light on the ground of Marsala.

In addition to feeling safe, Liberty also liked the social atmosphere of Fort Sanctuary.

The people here laugh and scold loudly, love to tell lewd jokes, and look vulgar, but there are not many yin owls here, and the folk customs here are much more simple than Tasanis.

Most of the men here are greedy for cups, but they rarely fool around after midnight. Most of them have a few drinks at the bar after work, brag and fart, watch the online news, scold the Federation, and then go home with a little drunk, and have to go to work the next day.

The Northern Folk Association does everything it can to provide people with job opportunities and the opportunity to earn enough points to buy ferry tickets.

Liberty, on the other hand, found that someone had earned enough points and gave up the opportunity to someone else.

Not because they are noble, but because they are more accustomed to living here. They have a visceral sense of panic about the outside world.

As one old man put it, "I used to be happy with the sandstorms in Marsala, but not with the residence and the community. Now, the latter is also very satisfying to me. ”

Liberty agrees. Although the dwellings of the people today are indeed very similar to the difference between a chicken coop and a pigeon's coop compared to the past. But here, everything is more orderly, and upward.

Every family has a standard mechanical butler, even if it is a sloppy man, with a mechanical butler, that home will not become a pig's nest, and a neat and clean home can always make people have more positive feelings.

Another interesting point is that in the design of the house, the design of the tube building was deliberately adopted. That is, the shared passage, which makes people inevitably look up and not look down, and familiarity starts from greeting again and again without wiping face.

And the tube building here is indeed prepared for war, the outer walls are extremely thick, there is no natural sunlight, and people enjoy artificial daylight.

Once the door of the tube building is closed, it really looks like a thick square iron bucket, which is one of the reasons why it is called a prison by outsiders.

Liberty is one of 500 families in Tube 4 who owns his own house.

Recently, he has had a good life, with a good salary, a week, and the goods that can be bought on the market are quite rich, the goods from other galaxies are slightly more expensive, and the locally produced ones are relatively low, and the local things are actually of good quality, but the packaging is not good, as far as he knows, people prefer to use local goods.

In terms of work, there was so much to write about Fort Sanctuary, and he started a lot of series, and he was cried and asked to fill the hole by those audience members all day long.

In addition, he became a ** with his neighbor, Marisa, a married woman who had sneaked here from the south.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the woman escaped from her husband, who was an alcoholic and domestic violence man, with her young daughter and mother-in-law in her 50s.

Liberty also admires Marisa's husband, how much failure does he have to be a man to abandon and flee even his own mother?

When he saw that the three generations of women and children were pitiful, he felt compassion, so he helped them re-register and became legitimate citizens of New Melbourne, and he didn't think about getting anything in return at that time.

And then it was a coincidence that when the housing was allocated, there was a lottery for 500 households, and he originally thought that he would live in a military house like a reporter on the Nord II.

As a result, Graybeard gave him more freedom to live in a homestay. The work is also free, except for some thematic reports that must be completed, and the rest is whatever he wants.

In Kane's words: "We are not afraid to expose shortcomings, and sometimes the world finds it shameful, and we take it as a kind of praise." It shows that we do have personalities. ”

Of course, having said that, in Liberty's view, Graybeard is much more disciplined than the Federation in terms of military and political affairs. If you have to say that Graybeard has any evil deeds, then you can take advantage of the fire to rob.

They know that there is no better choice for the population, so some conditions are very low.

But it does allow people to say no and leave, looking for what they think is a better way out.

So Graybeard is a bastard, but he's not too bad.

Serving such a group of people, Liberty is actually quite satisfied, he scolded Graybeard and the Northern Democratic Federation in his reports more than once, and then scolded the Federation, and the people also said that Graybeard is indeed a bastard, but the Federation is a bastard plus three levels.

Liberty was assigned his own housing, and when the original occupants had earned points to buy a ferry ticket and the family left, he stepped in.

Unexpectedly, he became a neighbor with Marisa.

It's ripe after coming and going.

Liberty knew that Marisa was interested in him, and wanted him to be her husband and not just for fun, and her mother-in-law was not against it, and her daughter was quite well-behaved and cute.

It's his own problem, his identity, his job, and he doesn't want to give up his persistence in his career, and if he has a family, for the sake of his wife and children, he must do something against his will, if that can be exchanged for a relatively stable life.

The two of them just got to think about it first, and the question has not yet been put on the table, after all, the days are still shallow.

All he had to do was to use the money he used to use to buy toys, snacks, and ingredients from the money he used to use to recruit chickens and clubbing, and then enjoy family fun with the three women.

To be honest, it doesn't feel bad, for him, a person who still has a yearning for beauty in his heart, it is really better than looking for flowers and willows, buying drunk gambling money.

Although that kind of life was exciting at the time, there was always an indescribable emptiness afterwards, and the chagrin of wanting to slap one's mouth, unlike now, it was more warm in retrospect.

On the night of December 17, he was getting tired of his concubine Marisa and had a request for communication.

Liberty looked at the time and muttered, "Who?

The result is Kane.

Kane said in his usual style, "You know, the game we're playing now isn't building the West, it's the bugs coming, that's why it's called Fort Sanctuary." Tomorrow will be the last northern cruise, after which we will treat all the northern parts of the north, except Fort Sanctuary, as no man's land. This is an operation involving the whole of Marsala, and the rest of the NLD, as well as the garrison, will do the same in their own jurisdictions. ”

"I'm not going to speculate on what other people in the world will do, but we need you to put this set to a perfect finish. I mean, it didn't end well, but we did what we could......"

"Of course, Sir, I'm happy to help. "Liberty has been on the Nord II for more than half a year, and he has been somewhat tainted with military style, and he unconsciously reveals it.

"Okay, tomorrow at 6:40 a.m., assemble at the Ministry of Armed Forces, don't be late, you have to be armed this time too. ”

Kane said and hung up.

Marisa walked over and put her arms around him from behind, asking with concern, "Dangerous mission?"

Liberty nodded: "One thing, but I'm following the most powerful human force in the entire Marsala, and if this can't be safe, I can only say that my luck is too bad." ”

"Come to bed, then, and I'll help you get some luck. Marisa began to move her hands and feet as she spoke

"Marisa, I have to wake up early tomorrow......"

The next day, Liberty showed up at the Armed Forces Department on time, and acquaintances joked: "You kid was hollowed out last night!

Liberty was used to getting along with these soldiers, and scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu still has electric ones to play!

That's right, electric. This is a feature of the power armor of the Northern Democratic Union, which uses high-energy batteries instead of fuel rods containing high-energy gas.

The human technology tree in the Koplu Star Zone is a bit crooked, they have not studied too much in efficient charging and power storage, but have developed a new cheap energy source, Super Gas.

The main component of gas is methane, which is a relatively common resource in nature, and it is the simplest organic matter.

The major breakthrough made by humans in the field of organic energy in the Koplu star region has an important relationship with the general geological environment of this star area.

Adapting to the environment and using resources, humans have always done this.

Therefore, from the perspective of resource exploitation and utilization, silicon crystal and high-energy gas, these two substances do have great advantages, and it is reasonable to point out the crooked technology tree.

Of course, Kane will not be satisfied with mere stealing and imitation, his predator swarm needs to play in different universes, and other universes do not have silicon crystals and high-energy gas for him to use.

This makes Graybeard's technical system seem a little unusual, but it doesn't look like a new technology, but it is a very mature product, and some people have already suspected that Graybeard has accepted funding from the earth to have such a performance.

Liberty didn't really care about that, he felt that Kane's concept was more practical. For example, the civilian induction exoskeleton can be easily and practically applied without receiving special CMC training.

The basic condition of the user is to do a minimally invasive surgery, which will change part of the characteristics of the third cervical vertebra and create a nerve ring made of carbon nanometers.

Connected by a dedicated fiber-optic fiber-coded nerve bundle, the nerves can also decipher signals transmitted by the body's brain into computer programming languages.

The final result, how to control one's body in normal times, how to control the exoskeleton now, coordination and micro-integration are all done by the computer.

The ring is also a neural signal generator that translates programming language into neural signals that the human brain can recognize.

Therefore, wearing this exoskeleton is like an extension of the limbs, except that there is no pain, it is basically the same as feeling it with your own body.

The exoskeleton is divided into frame and internal adjustment, which allows the user to achieve a comfortable level of armor through adjustment. The CMC of the Star Marines does not have such versatility, and their power armor is tailor-made.

It is conceivable that the militia obtains the power armor eliminated by the soldiers, it is not that the armor adapts to the people, but that the people adapt to the armor, and the inappropriate places will find a way, which also affects the combat power to a considerable extent.

"The Northern Democratic League, and even the militia of Marsala today, is probably the most tyrant militia!" Liberty looked at his entourage this time. I feel that this team is even more awe-inspiring than what I saw when I was in the Alpha Squadron, and the kind with big cards.

Interestingly, there is no ordinary CMC in the ranks of the Northern Democratic League.

Either the hoplite assault infantry, or the kind of raiders and fire bats, Type 5-4 armored infantry uniforms, thick and tall when you look at them, these are all muscular men who belong to Graybeard's gang and exercise frantically when they have nothing to do.

Either it's a shield warrior, but people who aren't from the Northern Democratic League usually call them three hands. Because their main firing weapon, the modified Gauss rifle, was used through the so-called Angel Arm behind the shoulder.

The angel arm is like a gun carriage, and like a pair of short arms, it controls the rifle and shoots. This part of the operation is controlled by the computer's special shooting software, and the person is mainly responsible for judging and issuing shooting orders.

Kane said about it: "I never had high hopes for the level of shooting from the militia. You are not professional soldiers, you are better at production than fighting, you can't even play CMC without auxiliary systems, you can't run steadily, let alone complete tactical actions with quality and quantity. ”

"I don't blame you, that's what I'm saying. People have to have the courage to admit what they are not good at, that is not shameful, we will find a way to solve it, we let the professional do the professional thing. Since we need auxiliary software, we don't pretend that we can do it, we just hand over this piece to the computer, and we are only responsible for the basic part. ”

So the shield warrior is really responsible for the very basic part, using the big shield made of up to 7 layers of materials in his hand to protect himself, and if an enemy rushes up, he will use the chainsaw sword to slash the fuck.

In a series of stories about Greybeard, Liberty said: "That's what I think of as a group of people who are good at fighting, they don't shy away from their shortcomings, they don't do anything, and if you find out they're doing it, you have to tell yourself that they're really good at it." ”

The design of the shield warrior gives the militia a guaranteed level of confidence, don't look at this power armor has no hands at all, but whenever the fingers of the militiamen hiding in the power armor forearm press the switch of the chainsaw, hear the buzzing powerful roar, whenever the heavy shield is in front of them, the militiamen feel that they are armed to the teeth, they can shoot far away, they can cut when they are close, and from behind, the angel arm can shoot, which means that even if they are running wildly and running away, they can also pour quite fierce firepower on the pursuers.

Liberty is armed with a scout-type armorsuit known as Abyss II.

This armor suit is not the same series as power armor, and the design concept is different.

It is a sensor suit + module armor, the sensor suit is like a diving dry suit, evenly distributed with a metal mesh with six sides, it is close to the flesh, unimaginably tight, and is called the second skin.

This kind of sensor suit is really like the skin, which can regulate body temperature and eliminate waste.

The module's armor is also very compact, and can be fastened to the suit like Velcro, provided that the suit is activated.

At first glance, such an armored suit may seem like a cold-weapon-level armor, but in fact it is a high-tech product. It is directly involved in the operation of human muscles, it is closely bound to the texture of the human body through a biochemical agent, which can amplify the strength of the muscles, and can adjust the center of gravity and mode of force, which can make people run super fast, and can also burst out with great strength, although there is a time limit, but it is very flexible.

Kane put it this way: "It's actually an intelligent aid that teaches humans how to make the most of their physical powers." Including the overrun part, in fact, it is also the power of the person himself, but the average person can't play well, just like the vast majority of people have parkour ability, but the good play is always only a few. ”

This series of armor suits is called Nano Armor. It was used by the scouts of the Northern Democratic League, and those who claimed that Greybeard had received technical support from the humans of Earth were mainly pulling this little braid.

The development of a series of military products cannot be made out of nothing, and there is no such series in the Koplu Star District, and the earth has been playing this side of the country back then, and its nano armor has even reached the point of mixing artificial muscle fibers with human muscle fibers, which is called the flesh and blood golem, which is the standard configuration on the battlefield in a certain period.
