Jim Renaud goes to Graybeard's training camp with a group of brothers who are good personal friends.

Naturally, he doesn't need to be trained very much, but as the captain, he still needs to check it, just like Dominic half-jokingly said: whether to learn a few practical tips from Graybeard, or to be tricked into becoming a mercenary, it depends on you, I believe in your personal charm.

Jim Renaud himself is not very confident in such a thing as charisma, no, he is still outside the training camp, and he has encountered challenges.

"Captain, are all mercenaries like Graybeard? It feels more formal than the regular army, and it seems to be rich. ”

This statement is naturally inspired by the training camp.

In less than ten days, a military base covering an area of more than 2 square kilometers has risen on the wasteland, and the amount of equipment and personnel invested in the construction alone is not comparable to ordinary forces or companies, at least in the eyes of Marsala's dirt buns, this is legendary speed.

Jim Renaud also knows the difficulty of this, after all, this is not an airstrip, it is enough to level the land on the Gobi Desert, which is already flat and soilless, build a runway, and use a barbed wire fence around the perimeter.

This is a level higher than the base of the federal standard specification, and can be called a permanent fortification of the secondary fortress.

There is an artificial high platform specially used for laying firepower, the ground is all hardened in Class A, and the floor of ceramic metal composite materials is stronger than simple steel, and there is no need to worry about thermal expansion and cold contraction, because they are already energetic, with the characteristics of almost battleship armor, anti-radiation, anti-psionic energy, anti-spying.

Renault also saw that there is also a high platform in the center of the base, and there is also a tower, in addition to communication, it should also be a force field transmitter, which can shield the wind and sand in peacetime, and can resist the spread of chemical weapons and viruses in wartime, and even neutralize it.

No wonder the militia exclaimed, such a level of facilities is really sassy, and Renault has only seen a similar one once, the private army of a certain founding family, but he didn't expect Graybeard to be able to play like this.

After entering the training camp, the most eye-catching thing was not the central tower, but the Hercules-class armed transport ship Brave Warrior, parked on a ten-meter platform due north.

This kind of transport ship has an impressive big head, or rather, it is divided into two parts: A and B, with A in front and a super-large cargo hold in the back, and B in the rear, where the power system, control system, and bridge are all concentrated.

The most awesome part of the Hercules class is not to pull more, but to put it quickly, this kind of efficient delivery is called 'taking out the garbage', it is indeed very vivid, as soon as the bottom gate opens, it all throws it down with a bang.

If it is replaced by an ordinary ship, the equipment or personnel who dare to play with the airdrop like this will most likely really become garbage, and the Hercules-level can be equipped with a vector control force field because of the huge space, and it is anti-gravity to say that human words.

Although the high consumption can only last this force field for a short time, it can also make the drop object feel similar to the stimulation of bungee jumping, first falling in free fall, seeing that it is about to land, anti-gravity appears, and then it is equivalent to landing from a height of 2 meters, like parachuting, which is definitely within the tolerance range of most people and things.

Therefore, the Hercules-class transport ship is the best battlefield emergency delivery ship for humans in the Koplu Star Region, and there is no one.

But Renault's Graybeard's Brave seemed to have been altered privately, and from the outside, the ship looked like it was wrapped in a heavy cotton coat, and it was angular and angular like a strip of crystal, leaving only a rough outline of the ship, allowing people to distinguish the distinctive front features of Hercules (like a flattened loaf of bread).

Renault even noticed that the ship had a peculiar cap on the stern, and all the working engine spouts were covered by caps.

He estimates that this is to treat the heat source of the injection system, making it impossible to detect and locate the heat source.

"Those bitches even sold such advanced stealth technology privately. Renault secretly cursed the black rot of the Federation in his heart. He didn't believe Greybeard could come up with such a complete set of ship stealth technology that the army had never equipped with.

Indeed, this is not Greybeard's technique, but it is not Federational, but it is derived from Kane.

Not only is it stealthy, but the ship also has a better ability to absorb energy from the hull, and this technology is called a space black hole, which means that it absorbs everything like a black hole, and it cannot be detected by ultra-powerful detection equipment.

Even with the naked eye, what you see is a cloud of pitch black, and in the deep space of the universe, you can ride your face without knowing the enemy. The only thing that is not beautiful is that the energy protection force field cannot be turned on in this state, and the defense power of this material itself is relatively scummy.

In other words, if the opponent can guess the approximate location and perform an area saturation strike, it can be blown up and this strong stealth ability can be dismantled.

Kane's magic modification of the Brave didn't end there, as he equipped the ship with half a standard base equipment.

Specifically, it includes the Orbital Command (the command center has upgraded its radar system to be able to scan the area and dispatch mine mules), 5 supply stations, 1 barracks, 1 engineering station, and 10 SCVs.

This means that with the Valiant, a standard Federated Base forward base will naturally do half the job.

Next, you only need to build a gas refinery, bunker and anti-aircraft missile battery in the selected area, and this base is ready to go, if you want to expand your production capacity, you can let the SCV continue to build supply depots, barracks, and more ground and air defense facilities in the base area.

This is the case with the current training camps, which on the surface do not have the production capacity, but in fact they have all the necessary resources. Fully expanded, like a human interstellar legion, even Behemoth-class (higher than the Sea Dominator class, lower than the Bull Monster class and Banshee Gorgon class) can produce battle cruisers.

If that's all there is to it, Greybeard is just one of the hundreds of warbands in the Federation that have wartime self-production rights, and at best the personnel are more professional and brave.

However, Kane also endowed it with additional technology and an unusual strategic and tactical approach that made it unique.

While Renault observed the Brave as it was clearly used as a temporary headquarters, the militia paid attention to the vehicles.

Tall giant equipment such as ships is too far away from ordinary people, and the brave are so bald like a super coffin, without any professionalism, I really can't see how good it is, I just don't think it's good.

Vehicles are different, like the age of the Earth, military products are always sought after by men, it is the romance of male creatures, and it is the kind that has the possibility to be in their own hands, and not just drooling over holographic projections.

In an area like Marsala where the people are fierce and the culture is very cowboy, guns and chariots are symbols of men, so vulture chariots and chariots of evil fire are very popular here.

The militiamen came this time in their own modified vehicles, and in Kane's private words, "I almost thought I had inadvertently traveled to the world of Mad Max: Fury Road, which was so wild that it didn't look like it used to be." ”

A group of people are driving their own good treasures, Renault's vulture is one of the more decent, of course, his car is not bad, he used to rob Teks Finley, vultures are a sharp weapon, after the war between the three clans of the original history line, it saved his life several times.

The militia also wanted to show off and show their faces in front of Graybeard, but when they saw the cars parked in the training camp, they immediately wilted.

Liquidator, this car is not only wild, but also magical, looking like a scorpion without a claw, the shape of a wheeled armored car, but covered with a special carapace, like scales pressed layer by layer, but not scales, but a large carapace of insects, covering the entire back and sides, in addition to making people think of scorpions, but also make people think of ancient insects such as trilobites.

This kind of car is very large, 3 wide, 4 high, 12 long, with the characteristics of an anti-infantry anti-ambush vehicle, and also has a strange 6 legs, or pile driver, which means that it can firmly insert the pile legs into the ground diagonally to the sides, so that the whole vehicle becomes stable.

What's even more magical than the quirky shape is that it has a thick triangular shovel head and a rocket propulsion engine.

A fortress-type armored vehicle with a speed of more than 180 kilometers per hour can easily exceed it. This is the liquidator, compared to which the militia is simply a toy.

Some militiamen were not convinced: "Can you be flexible with my evil fire? The evil fire is famous, you can go anywhere, and you can run away when you get a bargain." ”

As a result, someone who knew how to say: "You go and ask the output of the two rocket propulsion engines to know who is faster and more flexible, I estimate that if it weren't for the weight of this heavy shell, this car would be able to go directly to the sky!"

"That's compared to my vulture, which has a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour, can deploy intelligent spider mines, and can fire grenades. ”

Someone pointed out: "Look over there, I think the heavy locomotive that is still Graybeard is more fierce." ”

The overbearing locomotive has a pair of impressive huge wheels, which are more than 1 meter wide alone, and can be parked there without the need for a car bracket. And likewise equipped with a rocket propulsion engine.

Another militiaman said, "I kind of understand, these guys really don't want to die." ”

"Well, don't let yourself die, and don't let anyone else die, Hive Rocket, this thing is standard for Banshee helicopters, it's a shame they thought of it. ”

At this time, the new instructors who greeted the militia came over and said to them: "Let me tell you a little trick, on the battlefield, you have to be crazy, the more afraid you are, the easier it is to die." ”

When the militiamen heard this, they all looked at Jim Reynolds.

Renault nodded: "Courage and determination, the most taboo hesitation on the battlefield, often need to play extraordinarily." Of course, if you always lose in recent beats, then be a little cowardly. ”

The militia laughed, in the same way, Renault said it, and the militiamen were more willing to listen, which was not only prestige, but also popularity. Renaud always seems poor because he loves to help people. Although he may not be able to spend much money to solve the problem, others can feel this heart, and such a person is of course trusted.

If you want to replace it with a graybeard member in the past, in this case, most of them will compare it to Renault. Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, most of the people who have had a bloody career are competitive, not to mention that the members of Graybeard are notoriously unpredictable, and no one will lose face.

However, today's Graybeard, who has made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, has been transformed into Type A biological people by Kane with more effort, and their original personal style can be expressed, but the key core has changed.

Like this time, Kane explained in advance that he was not allowed to have a conflict with Renault, and these biological people immediately took it as a supreme order, so what would have caused a dispute was stopped, and there was no follow-up.

The graybeard mercenaries who received the militia quickly found their way back in terms of training content, they are instructors, and if they say that they are good, they are called trainers, and if they are not good, they will turn their stomachs when they see the instructors, and most of the regular troops rely on such rude means to divide into ranks and sizes, and establish authority, not to mention mercenaries?

Renault saw it, but didn't say anything.

Why is he sharp? In addition to the fact that the forced character of the Child of Destiny allows him to appear in the right place at the right time and in the right place, and the lucky stars shine brightly, so that he will not be killed by stray bullets, black guns, and accidents, but also because he has also been trained.

For example, in the war between the Federation and Kyle Morion, he participated as a newcomer and joined the 321st Battalion with the 'Heavenly Demon' on time. Although he was eventually betrayed, his comrades-in-arms, as well as junior officers and non-commissioned officers, were all good, which gave him the environment and space to grow and cultivate self-confidence.

He then met Union soldier Cole Hickson in a Kemorian prisoner of war camp. During this encounter, Hickson taught Renault how to resist Kemorian's brutal torture and survive this inhuman torture.

This is also a precious treasure, and it is the reason why he was able to bear so many sorrows and urges later, and did not sink or even fall in a rotten state all the time.

There is also a bad friend and brother Tyx Finley, when Renaud was with Finley, he was still a little young and his thinking was not mature enough, it was Tyx who taught him to steal and have a way, and mixing is also a kind of life, how to mix can feel at least balanced in his heart, have money to spend, and not play himself to death.

Renault's extensive connections were also influenced by Tex, who was very wild back then, and always had a way to get high-operational operational intelligence, and the two were still at large after four or five years on the road, which is very important.

So today, he thinks that these young boys under his command have been trained hard, suffering in the present and benefiting in the long run.

Coincidentally, Kane was also following the matter, from his exclusive room on the Brave.

The room uses a silicon screen to replicate the effect of large floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to look at the outside as condescendingly as if you were looking through a glass house.

And the problem he considers is the relationship between the style of the warband and the combat power.

It gives him the feeling that as far as human beings are concerned, the troops that are the most effective and can always howl when fighting are mostly a little ruffian, a little slippery, and a little bad from top to bottom.

The kind of serious, serious people always miss opportunities because they lack energy, spirituality and adventurous spirit, or they are not easy to open up the situation, or they play steadily but not brilliantly.

Kane knew that he himself was strictly the latter.

Seeing the Marsala militia trained by the other Greybeard mercenaries like the three grandsons, Kane seemed to see opposing references.

These militiamen, who are basically the team of the Renault Rangers, are such a gang of goods, handing over one proud list after another in the original historical line, playing the prestige of the Terrans, winning the respect of the Star Spirits, and even the admiration of the Zerg (Brain Worm and Worm Mother have praised humans for sometimes performing well, and this sometimes refers to the Renault Rangers).

Kane asked himself if he could perform as well as Renault under the same conditions? The answer was no, even if he didn't consider luck, he didn't have the charisma of Renault, and there was no way to break through the difficult situation that Renault faced.

Of course, if it were him, there would be basically no Renault-style distress.

If you don't mention these things, let's talk about war.

Could it be that the emotional flow is really a pendant that is more worthy of research and use than the equipment flow (about the same input cost)?

When he thinks about this, he is naturally not questioning his own path, the route he chooses is to crush the flow with technology, or to put it bluntly, it is to force the flow. After all, there is the technology of the rolling stage first, which is basically a prerequisite for the technical rolling flow.

This is hanging, and it is not easy to do this under normal circumstances. The Americans, as the beneficiaries of the two world wars, sheard the sheep globally in a hegemonic position after the war, and did not dare to say that they had achieved a comprehensive technological crushing, but did it in some aspects.

Kane considered this for the refugees who were likely to be taken in by him in the future.

He and his subordinates will be withdrawn as soon as they are helped, and they will not affect human society too deeply.

Naturally, it is not possible to use crutches too well and support all the refugees to become truly disabled.

After all, they have to rely on themselves, so it is debatable whether the flow of emotion or the flow of reason is worth discussing.

It seems that the rulers of human society always like to talk about reason, but they can make trouble and calm things down, all by emotion.

So, from the very beginning, will we get some unexpected joy by playing the game of 'everyone for one, one for all' and building a society with the construction and development of spiritual civilization as the core?

Kane, who is accustomed to the rise and fall of a rational society, thinks that it is possible to take the opportunity to play social experiments in this universe, which can be regarded as a value-added type of performance.
