Chapter 191, Special Forces
"What's its name?"
After watching the demonstration of the functions of the Purple Fire Jet, Gu Hang asked its developer, Mr. Hu Ke, such a question.
Hu Ke was quite modest: "It doesn't have a name, it's just a gadget I thought about before, by compressing high energy, releasing high-energy particles and special chemical agents, it is some targeted gadgets that I researched in the south for half a year, and it can come in handy and help the governor, that is the best." ”
Gu Hang shook his head and exclaimed: "This is not a small thing, this is simply a landform transformation!" ”
Hu Ke waved his hand again and again: "Don't say that, Lord Governor, I am still far from this kind of thing as landform remodeling and landform transformation." That kind of equipment and technology is far from being something that can be achieved by such a small thing. In fact, it can be built in series thanks to the production capacity of the concentrated energy chips you create. Without this outstanding energy support, it would not have been possible to function or even mass-produce. Even so, it's only capable of dealing with the jungle......"
"Indeed, it is nothing compared to the legendary landform remodeling technology." Gu Hang said, "But it is indeed the best way to solve the Qinggu problem now." ”
At the mention of this, Hu Ke sighed instead: "You...... Are you really determined to do this? Completely eradicate every inch of the jungle in the Qinggu area? ”
"Why not?"
"It would require a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and it would also destroy the environmental ...... of the Qinggu area."
"Yes." Gu Hang does not deny these two points, "However, we have enough ability and enough time to do this." And it's not just a matter of dedication. If you look at the reports coming back from the front, the business has already generated positive benefits. It solves the problem of unemployment of a large number of refugees in the Qingu area, and the timber produced is of inferior quality, but it is also valuable; The production department has already delivered the latest batch of synthetic starch production lines to the Qinggu area, where a factory will be built. When the scale reaches a certain level, these refugees may not need to be supported by us at an additional cost, and their own output will be enough to support themselves, or even reverse export, generating a surplus......"
After a pause, Gu Hang said the second point: "As for the issue of the natural environment, in the process of making my decision, its proportion is too small. Compared to the monsters and the threat posed by the cult that your students founded, the problems caused by environmental degradation are too small. Moreover, if there is a real problem, we will have the opportunity to remedy and solve it in the future. ”
Hu Ke nodded frequently when he heard this.
He is a scientific researcher, an engine prophet, and although his status in the Mechanic Church is not low, he is not involved in actual management at all, just doing his own work, and is not perfect for industry and some political considerations. Speaking about the environment, it was also because he had seen many planets that had been destroyed by human overexploitation, and the quality of life of that person was not good.
However, what Governor Gu said, he also sounded reasonable.
He realized that the per capita resource consumption enjoyed by the residents of the current Raging Star was not over-exploited or over-exploited. For the sake of the planet's development, to be honest, they are not qualified to care about those.
Not to mention, there is also the threat of cults and mutated monsters.
Let's develop first and govern later.
But Hu Ke still has doubts: "But even if it is so, it will take too long." I understand that you have plenty of time to develop that land, even in years, or even ten years. Moreover, this is indeed the cure for the radical cause. The jungle has been eradicated, the mutants have no breeding environment, and the Society for the Salvation of Nature has no place to hide, no matter what they plan, there is no point in them. But that's too slow, are you going to spend 10 years destroying the Society for the Salvation of Nature? ”
"I can tell you're worried."
"Yes." Hu Ke has been in Shuangcheng for a short time, and these days, he has seen the state of the city.
Others can be disguised, but the living conditions and psychological states of the largest number of people at the bottom cannot be disguised.
He has been to many different worlds, and these people on the Raging Star are certainly not good in terms of living conditions, and even belong to the poor class.
But that's not the ruler's fault – at least not the current ruler's. The conditions of the angry owl star themselves are too poor, let alone civilians, even Gu Hang, the governor, and many high-ranking officials of the alliance he has seen, life is seen as simple.
Compared with the less privileged living environment, the spirit of the ordinary people in the twin cities is very good. Something called 'hope' is brewing in their hearts and overflowing on their faces.
They have a vision for the future, they really recognize that under the rule of the Alliance, they can make life better and better through their own hands and efforts.
It's not uncommon to say, but there are only a few places in the universe that have this kind of vitality.
Hu Ke was not infected or anything because of this, he was just able to rely on experience to be sure that an alliance that could make the people under his rule have such a state of mind would not be a garbage regime.
Flying to the stars and finding a new home is not very reliable. On the contrary, it is a good choice to stay in the league and live a stable life.
In this case, he still has to contribute to the entire alliance.
In his view, the Society for the Salvation of Nature is one of the major threats to the world.
He pondered, "I've been thinking about what Gowaga wants to do lately. When I was in the South, after he was released from the Freeze, he didn't trust me enough at first, and I didn't have access to many of the secrets of the organization that my student had built. However, since he rescued me, he will not give up the knowledge I have. Some marginal research projects have been placed in my place. For those projects, I'm trying to piece together his goals. ”
"Tell me your guesses?"
"First of all, I'm not completely sure, it's just my guess, and the evidence is insufficient. That's why I didn't tell you ...... at the beginning."
"It's okay, I'll make a judgment."
"Okay...... I think that Gowagaga and them are really trying to summon the demon again......"
"Oh, that's a terrible guess."
"You don't look surprised? Did you guess it a long time ago? ”
"In a sense, yes." Gu Hang spread his hands and said, "I don't have any evidence, and it doesn't look like you have pieced together some fragments of truth through some experiments you have done with them. I'm just guessing, after all, those so-called cultists, those guys who are polluted by the abyss demons, are full of thoughts about this, and they can know their goals with just a casual guess. ”
Hu Ke smiled bitterly: "You are ...... That's right, indeed. ”
"But it's not enough to know the goal, I want to know what they have to achieve it and how we can stop them."
"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Hu Ke sighed, "We can't wipe out the Nature's Salvation Society by destroying the jungle. I'm not against this strategy of yours, but it's for destroying the aberrant monsters, and to destroy the Gwagaga and them, by destroying the jungle, that would be too slow. Perhaps, before we succeeded, the group of guys succeeded first. ”
After a pause, Hu Ke continued: "I guess they may have mastered a complete and undestroyed psionic energy field. If you know the history of the Raging Star, you will know that in the past, it was precisely because of the existence of the rich psionic energy field that an incomparably abundant source of energy was formed, which was used as a means to open the curtain between reality and the abyss and hell. ”
"In the past, the main psionic energy fields of the Raging Owl Star were on the other two continents, and those two continents should have been completely destroyed; There are also gas fields on the main continent, but there are very few, and most of them should also be in a destroyed state. The one Gowagaga found should not be large. But we should not take that lightly. Once he really tore open the curtain of the real world, even if it was just a small gap, we would be in big trouble. ”
Gu Hang groaned, "Then do you have any guesses about the location of that possible spiritual energy field?" ”
"No, not at all." Hu Ke smiled bitterly, "Even, it's not certain whether it really exists, I said that all this is my guess......"
"But your guess is better than mine." Gu Hang comforted and said, "Thank you very much for your notice." I had planned to send a special operations detachment to the southern tip of Aoya to find out what was going on there and guide things like bombing. Now, they may have one more task to do. ”
……
Aearo Lacroxia felt as if she had been deceived.
He said he didn't want to be an officer, he just wanted to be a soldier. His wish had obviously been affirmed by the Governor, and now he was not an officer, but his men were still stuffed with more than thirty soldiers.
Doesn't that still make me a class leader?
Earlier, he was transferred from the Beast Slayer Brigade and joined the 10th Special Brigade as a detachment leader. He and his thirty new subordinates took a full set of individual equipment that they had never seen before.
A set of individual exoskeletons for one person is inlaid with armor plates mainly made of plastic steel and coated with ceramic steel to protect the torso and limbs. It is nowhere near as powerful as the Space Marine Power Armor, but it has a slender beauty.
The full-coverage helmet is equipped with different visual modes such as night vision, anti-glare, and color temperature, as well as a shooting assist system.
This so-called design aid system is provided by a servo skull that accompanies the operation. The servo skull that belongs to him can also help control the two drones in the backpack to perform reconnaissance, auxiliary fire strikes, suicide attacks and other tasks.
And the weapons in their hands have all been replaced with LR5 laser rifles. Ten high-energy batteries per person, which can support 15 shots, need to replace the batteries. This is not very sustainable, but it is much more powerful than the regular G9 rifle. And to supplement the firepower, they also carry a short-barreled stockless tactical rifle, which is a special variant of the G9.
Among them, Lacroxia himself is a little more well-equipped than his teammates. The most important embodiment is that he does not use high-energy batteries, but crystal-like energy crystals. This thing is said to be much more expensive than the laser rifle itself in his hand, and such a large wind falcon flying in the sky is enough to use this one crystal block.
As a result, this thing only powers the rifle and exoskeleton in his hand......
The powerful energy can keep his exoskeleton, which is stereotyped as 'Ranger 1', in overload mode throughout the whole process until it breaks, and the laser rifle in his hand can also be overloaded throughout the whole process.
Someone else's LR5 can destroy a high-energy battery with a single shot of full overload, and according to their training ethics, it is strictly forbidden for them to do so when they do not have to.
But the energy crystal in his hand allows him to shoot with overload almost infinitely, and it doesn't need to be replaced. He just needs to think about the gun in his hand, and don't be scrapped.
It all made him feel like he was in a dream.
When other people call him the king of soldiers and the king of soldiers, he has always felt a little unreal, and he doesn't like to be called so to his face. But now...... He seems to be treated like a soldier king.
And in the so-called special operations brigade, he has to carry out special tasks.
The formation of three wind falcons, after going to Crocker Manor to carry out the bombing mission, made corresponding preparations for the return trip, and carried Lacroxia and his formation straight to the southernmost part of the world.
Their goal is to scout a place called the 'Eulogist Town'. According to intelligence, there is the headquarters of the so-called Society for the Salvation of Nature.
There is no specific location, only vague descriptions.
After the falcon came down, they searched on the ground on the one hand, and on the other hand, they continued to keep in touch with the three fast attack boats that had been temporarily assigned to them to cooperate with the operation.
Under the joint reconnaissance of the air-ground integration, they found many suspected targets, but in the end they were all confirmed that they were not. It was just the ruins of some villages, long since they were empty, and the jungle was slowly stretching to reoccupy those places.
And on the third day of the operation, they finally made a major discovery.
Based on the intel description, and the hand-drawn drawings on it, they were almost certain that this was the town of the Praisers.
But it also looks like it's been abandoned.
The team discussed it internally, and still planned to go in and explore.
Out of an abundance of caution, they also called Lieutenant Kutch, and three Wind Falcon would provide them with air support.
Lacroxia was still nervous about it.
It's the same to fight and fight, but the way of fighting is completely different from his past experience.
He wasn't sure if he could do it well enough, so he had to be cautious.
And his prudence saved many lives.
