Power exoskeleton is not the same thing as power armor.

Although welding armor plates on top of the exoskeleton will make the two somewhat similar, and even make the steel plate shape like a Space Marine power armor, it is not impossible to cosplay, but in fact it is far from the same.

Essentially, the powered exoskeleton simply gives the soldier an extra weight-bearing capacity, allowing them to carry a larger load on their backs with less effort, and at most a few steel plates welded to protect against bullets.

For example, the life support system, electronic muscle bundle, tactical system, and auxiliary shooting system contained in the Space Marine power armor...... None of them, let alone the same level of protection.

But with such a set of equipment, it will allow elite mortal soldiers who have been trained to use a blaster that would otherwise be difficult to withstand recoil.

Or continue to use laser guns or electromagnetic rifles.

And then carry some individual heavy firepower, any burst rocket nest and the like, you can carry it.

Pair it with a chainsaw sword and train your soldiers to T2 or T1......

Such an elite team, working hard, can barely be used as a super beggar version of the interstellar marine.

The key is much cheaper.

A set of power armor is 40,000 tax coins, and the cost of a set of exoskeletons is only 1,000 tax coins, 40 times the difference.

Can a single Space Marine kill forty elite soldiers armed with chainsaw swords, blasters, and exoskeletons?

Maybe it can, but there is also a high probability that it will overturn.

Genuine Star Marines, I'm afraid they can easily explode these super beggars with one shot; But conversely, elite soldiers armed with blasters, chainsaw swords, and exoskeletons also have the ability to threaten Space Marines. Ordinary tactical power armor does not have much pressure to block bullets and laser guns, but the loyal blaster and roaring chainsaw sword will not tell any feelings.

In the face of ordinary soldiers, the elite of special warfare with full equipment can also experience the effect of crushing damage.

The 10th Special Operations Brigade established by Gu Hang plans to try it out with a few squads.

It's not a long way from replacing a Space Marine, but it's enough to do at least some second-level special missions.

The production capacity of this production line is average, and it is estimated that the monthly output is 50 sets, which is also used by special elites.

When Wu Jiarong has the ability to reverse this technology to success, and then expand production, and then wait for the overall productivity of the Raging Owl Star to improve, maybe Gu Hang can arm an elite division with all the staff equipped with exoskeletons?

Hopefully, that day will come sooner rather than later.

……

After completing the specific transaction, Wang Jiarong also asked a question curiously:

"Then if there is no money from Blackbird Heavy Industries, what are you going to pay for the genetic engineering equipment you want to buy in the first place?"

Gu Hang grinned: "Our angry star is not really poor and white. Even if it was, it is not now. Our productivity, can't we make up 500,000 tax dollars for you? ”

Wang Jiarong was still a little suspicious, but she didn't ask any more.

But in fact, Gu Hang has never worried about this problem.

Without this money from Blackbird Heavy Industries, it would be a big deal to buy less things. Just that set of 500,000 yuan of genetic engineering equipment, if you try to put it together, you can finally make it up. Sell a thousand armored vehicles, sell a million sets of individual equipment, or dismantle two production lines and send them to the sky, and the money will come.

Of course, that would affect the development of the planet.

Now that you have a windfall, it's even better, and you can buy a lot of extra things.

……

After the corresponding things were transported, some of them were handed over to the research institute, and some of them were handed over to the Immortal Bird Warband.

The Immortal Warband is of course happy about this.

Although, in the more than half a year since they came to the Raging Star, they have killed three people, and the undead bird, which is already on the verge of extinction, is now even worse.

But at least, this bite can be regarded as a great vitality for them.

In fact, the replenishment and replacement of weapons and equipment were not so important, but the set of genetic seed implantation surgical equipment saved lives.

Martins and Rizzo plan to carry out three surgeries in the near future, hoping to bring three new blood to the warband.

Gu Hang was a little skeptical about this.

"Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?" He put forward, "Of the group of teenagers you recruited, there are three of the most suitable candidates?" They've only been training for less than half a year. ”

"Alas......" Martins, who should have been extremely hard-tempered, showed a sad face at this moment, "The Governor's worries are right, to be honest, their qualifications are the best we have found, but they are far from enough, and their training is not up to standard. But we ...... There is no choice. Prior to this, we did not have the technology and ability to properly preserve genetic seeds, and simple preservation methods could not maintain the viability of seeds for a long time. If it drags on any longer, the probability will only be lower, and we can't afford to wait to find a more suitable person and give those teenagers better training. ”

This is indeed a reality factor.

Gu Hang asked, "So...... What are your probabilities? ”

Pastor Rizzo, who had been silent before, spoke at this time: "The probability is very low, I am not sure." ”

"Can the success rate reach 50 percent?"

Martins smiled wryly and shook his head: "Maybe not even ten percent." But...... At least one succeeds, as long as one succeeds, the warband has the first new blood, at least hope, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and no longer be so desperate. ”

Gu Hang could only sigh as well.

He patted Martins on the shoulder and said, "I hope everything goes well." ”

In this sentence, what Gu Hang said was still sincere. He did hope that all three seeds of the Immortal Bird Warband would succeed.

Build a war group, Gu Hang can't afford to play this for the time being, let the space fighters play by themselves. Three more Space Marines, three more...... If it was only a dozen or dozens of them, it would not be to the point where it would shake Gu Hang's authority.

Looking at the bear-like appearance of the immortal bird now, it is too early to think of that extent.

Even, if Gu Hang doesn't provide plug-in help, he may not be able to achieve it for the rest of his life.

However, things are often just that unsatisfactory.

Just a week later, Gu Hang received news from Martins.

The first operation, failed; In the next few days, two more pieces of bad news came in a row.

When Gu Hang came to the Immortal Bird Monastery again, which was already beginning to take shape, he was not able to meet the leader of the Martins War.

According to Pastor Rizzo, Martins Salas had locked himself in the prayer room and had not come out for a long time, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

To be honest, seeing Martins like this, Gu Hang also understood compassion.

After the immortal birds landed, as long as Gu Hang had a summons, they would definitely respond, and every time according to Gu Hang's needs, they were desperate every time - they all killed half of them.

People are very worthy of themselves, and Gu Hang must admit this.

It is precisely because of this that the surgical equipment is neat and new; Power Sword Buy; Terminator Armor buys ......

However, he still felt a little guilty about the one hundred points of gift and one seed.

But now, it's not the time to take it out.

As for what exactly is the time...... To be honest, Gu Hang didn't know.

No matter how compassion and guilt there is, Gu Hang can't take the risk of taking out the genetic seeds in the front hand and being reported to the trial court in the back.

Reporting such a matter to the court depends on the status of the whistleblower. If a cat or a dog reports a governor, they will have to investigate, and it is impossible for the court to be busy if it is expanded a hundred times.

But if a war group leader does this, it will be completely different, and the weight will be different.

He had to be sure that he was absolutely safe after taking out the seeds, otherwise he wouldn't have done it.

Privately, say something else.

However, Gu Hang also noticed another thing.

Pastor Rizzo didn't seem to be in the right place.

Gu Hang turned his head and stared at Rizo for a while.

Rizzo also looked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Hang said: "I'm a little strange, Your Excellency the Reverend, you seem to be very calm, not sad?" ”

He did find it strange.

Mattins was so distressed that she didn't want to see anyone, and locked herself in the prayer room; The other two people in the warband, sad, dazed, overwhelmed, and desperate...... These expressions can be seen in their numb expressions that they can't hide.

But Pastor Rizo seemed very calm, and when he talked to Gu Hang, there was no change from before.

And at this moment, hearing Gu Hang's question, he even showed a smile: "Whether the operation is successful or not, it is the will of the God Emperor, and we should learn to accept it." ”

"Yes, that's right." Gu Hang responded first, but then asked, "But aren't you worried about the fate of the immortal bird in the future?" ”

The smile on Pastor Rizo's face became clearer, he looked at Gu Hang, and said seriously: "The fate of the warband is not the success of these three operations, but on you, Your Excellency the Governor. ”

Gu Hang frowned deeply.

The appearance of this magic stick made him very uncomfortable.

He spoke cautiously: "Your Excellency, I don't understand what you mean. ”

At this time, Rizo didn't answer Gu Hang's question directly, but just said, "The God Emperor will decide everything." ”

……

When Gu Hang left the Immortal Bird Monastery, he was puzzled.

The old priest's attitude really made him a little entangled.

He looked like he knew something.

But it's not appropriate to think about this matter, it's useless to think about it, he doesn't even have enough manpower to monitor these superhuman warriors, so he can only ask some staff who have entered the Immortal Bird Monastery to pay more attention and report more.

The Immortal Bird Monastery is next to Weixing City, since he came here, Gu Hang went to Weixing City to inspect it, and the last stop was the secret research institute presided over by Wu Jiarong.

The things I bought from the Beautiful Girl, except for the Immortal Bird Warband, were for the Research Institute.

Gu Hang originally wanted to come and see how the research institute was doing with the purchased technologies, but as soon as they met, Wu Jiarong complained to him fiercely.

This girl from the Mechanical Sect was quite dissatisfied with the oppression of Governor Gu Da on her.

In the past, she didn't dare to show a similar attitude, for fear that after she knew the governor's big secret, her already mysterious life would be gone.

But after a long period of contact, she found that the Governor was quite easy to get along with. As long as you do your own thing, the Governor is generally not very harsh.

Then she gradually dared to say what she thought in her heart.

Gu Hang was very happy about this.

If his subordinates are afraid of themselves, it's not impossible, but Gu Hang doesn't want to go too far. Loyalty should come from awe, not fear. It's not that fear can't lead to loyalty, but while fear brings loyalty, it also brings hatred, which can easily turn into betrayal.

Reverence, love, trust...... These are much better.

Gu Hang hoped that his subordinates would dare to clearly express their needs to him, so that it might be better.

However, what Wu Jiarong said this time still made Gu Hang a little embarrassed.

"You can't press me one research project after another like this, I don't even have a little time to study the black box and improve my level."

When Wu Jiarong said this, she didn't just complain, but actually pointed out very practical problems.

"All kinds of scientific research projects are squeezed here, and many projects have little connection with each other. It's not that I'm lazy and complaining about the heavy workload, but it's that there are not enough researchers in the east and west, and these tasks cannot be done. I know that each of these technologies is important in your plans, and if they are not optional, then you will not be able to accept them, and many of them will be on the waiting list forever and indefinitely, and you don't know how far into the future......"

"Hmm......" Gu Hang nodded.

He admitted that Wu Jiarong was right.

"But what do you suggest?"

"My suggestion is that there must be more talents with scientific research ability under your command. I know it's very difficult to find a lot of them in the environment of the Raging Owl. But the more this happens, the more you have to prepare in advance, just as you build the Windbreaker Academy, you need a technical academy. ”

"Of course you can." Gu Hang said, "This was originally in my plan, but ...... Wu Jiarong, are you interested and have the time to be a professor in this college? ”

Wu Jiarong sighed helplessly and said, "If this is your order, Lord Governor, of course I have no problem. However, you also have to suffer a consequence: if I spend half of my time teaching students, the time it takes to complete all research projects will be doubled. ”

That's the price.

Are you going to move forward with those research projects as quickly as possible, or are you going to throw people into schools to teach?

Although the former is not fast, it is the most effective at the moment. The technology of synthetic starch still needs to be optimized, and the effect of the new production line is incomparable with the one removed from the starship; The word 'high energy' in front of the high-energy battery is not true, and it can't even support the launch of the laser gun, let alone use it for the fast attack boat, which leads to the fact that the effect of the laser gun cannot be fully exerted, and the wind falcon has to use much higher value energy crystals as fuel, which is a huge waste.

Not to mention, there are still a lot of technologies that need to be overcome in reverse, hydroponic farms, water purification equipment, spiritual gas collection equipment, exoskeleton production lines......

Without Wu Jiarong, a scientific researcher who has actually reached the level of a mechanical priest, all these works would have to be stopped.
