Chapter 443: The Necessity of Equipment
The origin of these warriors who make up the team is naturally not the kind of tabula rasa race that has no transcendent body, but the kind of species that are born with non-psionic supernatural characteristics;
In addition, they also have an extraordinary training program that only works on their own race, and on the whole, they can be regarded as a civilized population with decent strength and high potential.
But after all, it takes time, resources, and even more so individual talent to realize the potential, and at least in terms of the extraordinary level that the warriors have reached today, they are still far from being truly a single powerhouse.
Specifically, its own strength is not enough to ignore the support of equipment for combat power, because the latter occupies a very high proportion of its ability in offensive and defensive support.
Otherwise, they would not have to come on an expedition wearing heavy armor and its components, and would have been able to operate in a near-unequipped naked state like the head of the Torto Legion.
Of course, such a strong person does not insist on going into battle naked, but when his individual strength reaches a certain level, the effectiveness of equipment, especially offensive and defensive weapons and equipment of the main battle class, will have various problems in many aspects...
Therefore, in such a situation, after taking into account factors such as efficiency, they have to go into battle naked in most cases.
~~~
But even the first problem of portability is a long way from any of the forty warriors here;
Even to put it more clearly, it is likely to be a height that is difficult for them to reach in this life, and there is a very high probability that they will not be able to develop, or it is impossible to reach the extreme value of racial theory, otherwise Shangfeng would not easily send them to perform this kind of task.
Judging from the current situation, even if the strength of the group has increased by thousands or even tens of thousands of times, there are still auxiliary or main battle equipment available from low to high;
Moreover, even the lowest type of the one is actually quite valuable, but there will be some problems such as low amplification, slightly bulky, and high energy consumption, but at least it is enough to form an effective combat power support and amplification, and it is far from being so thick and bulky that it cannot be carried by itself.
High-end products are known for their high prices, but they usually have high performance and excellent after-sales at the right price, and some powerful companies can even enter the service in wartime, if you are willing to pay a certain price, of course.
Needless to say, the abilities of most transcendents cannot take care of all aspects, and there are many things that cannot be achieved with their own transcendent characteristics;
Therefore, they naturally have to use the equipment on the technology side or the transcendent side to assist, whether it is a start-up extraordinary chick, or a stellar supernatural with strong combat power, or a weird and changeable god who is inseparable from the weak, they need to consider the cost of self-production, the price of outsourcing, how specific the performance is, whether they can start and other issues.
Main battle equipment is even more important, after all, the Extraordinary Chick may not be able to defeat a mortal with a good sword, and the Extraordinary will not be able to withstand the power of the gun until it is strong enough
The 'certain extent' mentioned here spans a lot, after all, the transcendents who can't be killed by gunpowder guns and gunpowder cannons, under the laser ray guns, atomic cannons, orbital kinetic energy cannons, warship annihilation cannons, etc., there are also groups of times when they are reduced to scum cannon fodder;
In other words, these weapons can also be classified as guns.
Under the blow, not to mention that the city-destroying level transcendent will be smashed to pieces, even the surface ecological level, the continent destruction level, etc., if they encounter a weapon of the corresponding level, they may also be hated on the spot.
Therefore, the protective equipment that extends from this is also extremely important, and even whether there is a good piece of armor can often determine the hardness of the waist pole of the transcendent.
~~~~~~~
As a swimming fish in the dark, the 'whether you can get it' in all aspects of equipment is also a matter that needs to be considered additionally;
When purchasing the goods produced by Baidao enterprises, they need to consider the relevant implicit policies of the civilization where they are located, and if the other party strictly cracks down on 'black trade' in accordance with the Great River System Convention, it must consider changing other similar commodities or adding additional gray middlemen and other solutions;
If you buy the output of the underworld, you should also examine the relationship between the enemy and the enemy of the two sides, so as not to find that you cannot trade after tossing for half a day, and also to examine their confidence in business behavior, so as not to be deceived or even lose your life.
But for the current team of warriors, this concern will be relatively less, after all, the leading dark gang it is backed by is rich and powerful, not only has an extremely considerable equipment production capacity, but also has a long-term relationship with black, white and gray allies at all levels.
Therefore, the communication, attack, defense, and extraordinary-related equipment carried by the soldiers at the moment may not be regarded as the most advanced form within the river system, but whether it is a product made by the background forces themselves, or purchased from external cooperative forces, whether it is a general-purpose type with a unified arrangement, or a special type customized by a soldier alone, at least in terms of reliability, it is unquestionable.
Before entering the city, the group of soldiers naturally took turns to check the equipment they carried, even after several rounds of automatic detection for the sake of safety, plus a lap of manual inspection, the conclusion is that the equipment is still in good condition, and there will be no problems for another ten galactic years.
After entering the range shrouded by the black fog, except for the armor itself, and several other communication equipment, which immediately failed as shown in the previous information, the rest of the offensive and defensive and corresponding auxiliary equipment still maintained the same results as before, including the observation system, intelligent assistance, friendly locks and other functions can be used normally.
But at this moment, the situation is obviously different, when the warrior who used his weapon and almost caused trouble, after starting to check the situation of the equipment on his body, he was deaf and pulled his helmet and said a bad result.
~~~~~~~
With the self-blame of being the first to use force, the joy of being stopped by the captain at the critical moment, and the fear born from the inspection of the equipment at the moment, the soldier said to the captain and team leader's blocker, as well as the rest of the members,
"The energy power has not changed, but the intelligent system has crashed into an unresponsive state, and the associated complications cannot be activated."
As he spoke, he tossed up and down for a while as if in confirmation, and tried the offensive and defensive applications under the rather jealous gaze of his teammates, and then spoke again with an urn under his visor.
"Only simple weapons such as chemical energy physical bombs and electric propulsion physical bombs can be used, such as near-range energy weapons, ray weapons, and excitation pre-stored transcendent effects cannot be activated, and auxiliary functions such as observation and positioning can only be done by themselves, and the attack limit lock function is also invalid."
"The material properties of the armor itself have not changed, and it can still have the physical and extraordinary side protection effects that the material properties should have, but the rest of the shields that need to be activated separately cannot be activated."
If the situation mentioned is true, it will undoubtedly be a serious crisis at this time, because it is equivalent to cutting most of their team by half.
So after hearing this, several teammates around them also began to check without exception, and finally came to the same conclusion.
After that, the team leader and captain who had already closed the top armor nodded in understanding, and then said in a deep voice to all the team members,
"Be prepared for physical attacks, if we face the enemy at this time, maybe our bodies will be more reliable than the current armor;"
He glanced at the other four teammates, and in the black fog, he glanced at several black shadows dozens of meters away, and only spoke again after trying to reach out to summon the latter,
"You must have noticed the abnormality of your mental state along the way, so from now on it is the first priority to control anger and stop thinking, and if it really doesn't work, we need to continue to disperse, and only after we reach the first safe zone can we take a break there."
He was a little worried in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that his state was relatively stable, and the two teammates before were not too crazy, only this time there would be an injured person in the team;
What's more, it may become a flashpoint that continues to ignite emotions, so that team members can be agitated and teared apart by their own anger and other emotions without being 'suspected of being manipulated' by the data.
Fortunately, it was not far from the dispersal point halfway through No. 1, and he was going to at least go there first to see the actual situation before talking about the rest, if it really didn't work, he would rather accept the punishment than continue to walk, otherwise the subsequent situation might be very miserable under the influence of the gradually thickening fog.
~~~~~~
Cynthia is like a boss who will die in the next episode, looking at all the old gods in her perception in the center of the black fog, and there is a strange tree growing in front of her that is nearly ten meters thick and dozens of meters high;
On top of it, there is a clear metallic sheen flickering, and there are also muscular structures slowly expanding and contracting, as mentioned above, it is a strange combination of flesh, plants, and metal.
And whether it is the root system that extends deep underground, or the thick and thicker trunk on the surface, or those leaves that seem to be swallowing black mist, there are purple-gold inscriptions as thin as insects and ants that are densely twisted.
One by one, the rattans stretched into the only remaining buildings in the surrounding area, and after the perception swept through the buildings, flowers bloomed and screamed from these flowers;
Suddenly, the survivors inside who had been dodging the black mist all the way up, and the survivors who had been dodging the vines all the way to the ground fell to the ground, and then they were entangled by the vines that chased them to form cicada chrysalis.
Most of them are weak, and several of the so-called strong ones are not enough in front of Cynthia, far from being able to fight her and the means to fight her.
Therefore, the current practice is not for side purposes, but only to save the lives of this group of relatively weak people;
After all, the attitude of the business owners group to the remaining customers in the city, etc., Cynthia had clearly seen it before, so how could it be described as 'like a mustard'.
If they are left unprotected, they will most likely die in the next round of 'temptation', but if they miss a projectile in the process, the survivors in the isolated island will be hate on the spot.
These are all important sources of information, and the previous losses are enough to make Cynthia feel distressed, and she didn't expect the orbital base to be so ruthless, and she simply wiped out most of the living people in the city before she had time to make some preparations.
Cynthia was a little skeptical that they had done it on purpose, since it was far more difficult to rescue hostages than to kill them, and it was difficult to get useful intelligence information from the smashed bodies.
So at this time, in order to save the last remaining life in the city, Cynthia pulled those cicada-like things into the ground;
The strange trees that were in the initial state of the temporary base had grown to a certain extent at this point, and Cynthia also walked into the trunk at this time, temporarily combining with the inside and outside.
After the elf and the giant tree were half-fused, her companion beast consciousness was able to control it more deeply and in more detail, so the growth rate of the giant tree was also greatly accelerated;
Later, the connection to the spirit world also began to take place, leaving behind an inscription structure that hooked up with the local sordid emotional sea, mimicking Cynthia's presence and magnifying it to form a temporary sign;
Many things cannot be summoned, such as the rest of the security guards, who cannot use the current technology to achieve dual-state teleportation through the simulation here;
However, the Giant Elf Armor was not quite the same as the rest of the objects, after all, the use of the Domain and Life Force Field would raise the Elves for hundreds of years, and their essential attributes in some aspects had already changed.
Time transitioned little by little, but Cynthia's main consciousness did not stop there, but extended her perception to the surroundings of the intruders through the black mist, watching their subsequent journey as if they were watching a bustle;
From time to time, she would adjust the density and intensity of her aura, and at the same time control the group of puppets in her hands, reducing or increasing the difficulty of their progress in various ways.
~~~~~~
After determining that there was a problem with the equipment and perceiving the correlation between the concentration of black fog and mental stability, each team and the members of the group connected to each other a group of ropes that could not only stretch and stretch over distance, but also actively disconnect when necessary, so as to confirm each other's orientation and safety during the subsequent journey in an uncertain situation.
In addition, when they are in the dark, unable to speak, or unable to hear, they can use the vibration of the rope to send simple messages, such as confirming the tactical plan, confirming each other's physical and spiritual safety, and so on.
Of course, even if the tether connecting each other seems strong and reliable, it is not something that cannot be destroyed after all, and the information transmission is relatively primitive and misled by external interference
Fortunately, the various groups had already traveled some distance, and although they appeared to be a little cautious in the process of marching, and there were several signs of dangerous infighting, after all, because there was no material enemy blocking the way, it was not very far from the first dispersal point in the predetermined way;
Even the time was very good, and the shelling landing at the track in the tacit calculation was also before and after
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a screech pierce the thin black mist above, and slammed straight ahead along a downward diagonal line.
'Boom!! ’
The earth trembled suddenly, and the smoke and dust in the material world and the complex black fog of the half-spirit and half-matter were wrapped around each other to form a shock wave that passed around the members of each group, and the huge force conceived during this made him take a few steps back, and then he stabilized his body and looked up into the distance.
