"We have too little heavy firepower. We must add heavy logging guns and fixed melta guns, and reduce every window into a shooting hole and an observation hole."
"Then……"
"I'm sorry to interrupt." Klein raised his palm, "No one is responsible for logistics now. We don't have an engineering force to build fortifications, nor a convoy to transport a large number of heavy weapons to the front line. We only have the few people we have now. .”
"It doesn't matter, I will be responsible." Qin Mo stood up and looked down at Klein, "Now, ask your people to find metal and electronic parts for me. If you can't find electronic parts, look for copper and rubber."
After hearing the order, Klein nodded doubtfully.
Chapter 10 The Power of Star God
In the afternoon of that day, when all the soldiers went out to collect metal and electronic parts, Qin Mo had already begun to expand the entire building.
This was the second time Gray saw Qin Mo perform creation magic, and he was far more shocked than the first time.
Under the control of Qin Mo, in a square area with a side length of one hundred meters, the hard metal ground became soft, and under the control of his mind, it was shaped into the desired shape, or attached to the building.
When one piece of ground turned into a deep pit, Qin Mo began to copy the same method to another piece of ground.
The entire building was gradually expanded to five floors, the walls were thickened by centimeters, metal rods were floating in the air, and shooting holes were interspersed with the metal.
These firing holes are oriented in a fixed direction, but ensure that after setting up heavy weapons, they can be directly aimed at the attacking rebels.
There are shooting holes that are opened in the forward direction, and there are also shooting holes that are opened obliquely.
When the expansion was completed, the metal rods were stretched and sewn into the wall like a line of tofu, acting as steel bars.
The special alloy used in the bottom nest floor is not used by dogs for making weapons because its plasticity is extremely poor, but it is the best material when used as a wall.
Klein watched the building turn into a fortress, and then felt very puzzled.
This fortress doesn't even have a door open, how can we get in and out?
Then Qin Mo gave him the answer with practical actions.
The door of the building is no longer opened directly on the ground, but has become a semi-circular underground passage. Anyone who wants to enter the building must first slide in through the external opening, and then climb up the stairs.
After entering the building, you must walk through a maze of narrow passages, with thick walls with shooting holes on both sides.
Klein felt that this entrance and exit design was really vicious for attackers.
The wall cannot be blasted through, and the curved entrance and exit cannot be penetrated by tanks. Even if the attacker's infantry climbs into the building under strong firepower, they will still be huddled in the passage and then be slaughtered by heavy weapons behind the wall. .
On the other hand, if you look at it from the defensive perspective, this is simply an angelic design.
"Give me a flamethrower and a melt cannon, and I can hold out for a year under dozens of times the enemy's attack." Klein first praised the fortress, and then asked what he thought was a very critical question, "But we also need supplies. , how should materials be transported into the fortress?"
"Lucky like this." Qin Mo raised his hand, and the wall immediately opened like a door.
"I understand." Klein raised his eyebrows and nodded.
After expanding the above-ground part, Qin Mo began to work on the underground part.
In order to prevent the underground part from being infiltrated by gene stealers, Qin Mo just dug holes in the core of the building that had to be entered from the ground.
"This is truly a power that far exceeds that of ordinary people." Klein sighed with emotion. "Although psychic energy is scary, it is also really useful."
"I'm not a psychic." Qin Mo said. He had never thought of himself as a psychic before, and had never taken those hallucinations and dreams seriously.
And now various signs have shown that he is definitely not a psyker, otherwise things like the psionic suppression collar and the brain maggot pet would not be of any use to him.
As for the source of this power...
Qin Mo recalled his previous hallucination after being shattered by a cannonball, and he thought it was probably the Star God.
Star God.
The star gods were born long before the birth of all races in the Milky Way, parasitic on the stars to absorb energy.
These star gods are the gods of the material world. They have the power to transcend time and dimensions. They can create black holes and create a planet out of thin air. It is easy for them to twist the laws of physics.
There are some similarities between the power of the star god and the power of the subspace, such as releasing flames out of thin air, or causing abnormal phenomena in the material universe, and manipulating objects with ideas.
Qin Mo is now 80% sure that his power comes from the Star God, but he still doesn't know which Star God it is and why he has this power.
"I'm going to make weapons. When the soldiers come back, let them send the things they find to me." Qin Mo didn't want to explain too much and turned around to leave.
……
Although he could mobilize the 47th Infantry Regiment at will, Qin Mo didn't intend to take too many people away to find other positions. His plan was still to arm Gray and the others as much as possible.
After all, when civilian buildings are expanded into fortresses, more defenders will be needed.
In Qin Mo's vision, the six-man team would covertly move to various positions as quickly as possible, so he needed equipment that could move quickly.
Considering the concealment, it is best that this equipment is not a vehicle, but a miniaturized equipment that can be integrated into the power armor.
Then the answer is ready to come out.
Jetpack.
The gravity shield will be integrated into the jetpack. This jetpack will have the functions of generating a gravity shield, maintaining short-term flight and long-distance jumps, and storing items.
Weapons should also be integrated into the power armor, and energy weapons must be used primarily, since kinetic energy weapons cannot penetrate gravity shields.
Wait until you have time to improve the gravity shield before using kinetic weapons.
After comprehensive consideration, power armor integrating jet packs, gravity shields, and energy weapons should be designed to focus on defense against energy weapons.
The energy consumption of various weapons and equipment is a big problem.
Qin Mo believes that he should design a large-capacity battery that can be charged with thermal energy, so that when the energy is about to be exhausted, everyone only needs to gather together, and then distort the physical laws within the range so that the flame cannot ablate the metal. Or the human body, just breathe fire directly to charge it.
In addition to individual equipment, Qin Mo also plans to design drones. These drones are divided into types according to different purposes. They can carry kinetic weapons or medical supplies, or only have reconnaissance capabilities, or they can be used as mobile bunkers.
Finally, there are heavy weapons for the fortress. This does not require wasting brain cells. It is nothing more than making logging guns, flamethrowers or melta cannons.
As long as Qin Mo recalled the appearance of these heavy weapons in his mind, he could understand the principles and structures of these weapons and make one-to-one imitations.
All of these creations are far from perfect, but it is precisely because of this that they are easily designed and manufactured by Qin Mo.
When he suspected that he was a psychic before, Qin Mo didn't dare to create a large amount of things he wanted so presumptuously, but now that he believes that he is not a psychic, he is not afraid.
As for leaving the bottom nest in the future, what to do after these technological creations that have not been reviewed by the empire are discovered... We can first get out alive.
And if these things are affected by spiritual energy...
"Damn, this is a fatal thing." Qin Mo suddenly thought that among the gene stealers, not only were there individuals who could use psychic powers, but also the psychic powers of these individuals were not weak.
Research into anti-psychic technology is imperative.
Qin Mo plans to first use the principle of a psychic suppression collar to build a psychic suppressor.
Chapter 11 Like a Mosquito
……
After four Terra days passed, the day and night research and manufacturing finally came to fruition.
While the soldiers were carrying their heavy weapons to various parts of the fortress, Qin Mo ordered Gray and the other five to put on power armor and immediately go with him to the position due east to check the situation.
"Wait a minute, don't these power armors need to be tested?"
"No testing required."
Qin Mo walked at the front of the six-man team, advancing through the winding and twisting passages in the fortress.
Klein followed Qin Mo nervously and worriedly, followed by the elite soldiers he had just selected.
"I don't think we should be in such a hurry. We should at least test whether there is any problem with the power armor first."
"Test it with battle."
"Okay, okay, let's test it in battle."
Seeing that Qin Mo was confident and stubborn, Klein had no choice but to compromise and not mention testing the power armor for the time being.
But there is one more important thing.
"Gray and the others are just ordinary soldiers. The 44th Regiment has always been a logistics supply group and has not participated in many battles. Are you sure you want to only take them?" Klein said and glanced at Gray, then looked at the soldiers behind him, signaling to them Get ahead of the curve.
Qin Mo understood Klein's idea, but he would not bring the elite soldiers of the 47th Regiment, so he decisively rejected it: "Gray and the others may not be the strongest soldiers, but they must be the most determined, and they are shoulder to shoulder with me. Having fought before, they are more familiar with my fighting style.”
"Okay then." Klein felt that this reason was quite convincing, so he could only compromise again, stop and watch Qin Mo and the others leave.
It wasn't until Qin Mo opened a door on the wall at the end of the passage and was about to walk out that Klein suddenly shouted: "Don't confront the rebels head-on. We have few people after all!"
Qin Mo walked out of the fortress without saying a word, and the door he opened on the wall immediately closed.
But just as Klein sighed helplessly and turned around, another door opened in the wall.
Qin Mo returned to the fortress and reminded Klein: "There is a psionic suppressor in my room, which is the square metal box. If you are attacked and find a psyker, don't forget to turn on the psionic suppressor." Suppressor, but that thing needs to be charged, and it can only be effective for two days at a time."
"I can't forget it." Klein looked back at Qin Mo, "I formed a team of five people specifically responsible for guarding and using the suppressor."
"Then I'll be relieved." Qin Mo turned and left.
The door on the wall closed again, and the wall returned to a tight fit.
……
The power armor can maintain short-term flight. It only took two hours to cross a distance of 70 kilometers. The energy was exhausted during the journey and the battery was recharged once.
Since he was not sure whether the position due east still existed, when he got within two kilometers, Qin Mo ordered to advance on foot and released a drone to detect the situation on the position.
"Does the position still exist?" Qin Mo glanced at the drone that quickly flew high into the sky, then turned to look at Gray who released it.
Gray didn't respond immediately. He cocked his neck and stared at nothing in front of him, looking a little stupid.
Gray was checking the HUD screen integrated on the visor, staring at the lower right corner, where the drone's perspective screen was projected.
The position was filled with smoke and no one could be seen at all.
"Life scan." Qin Mo reminded Gray, "This is a unique function of the reconnaissance drone."
Gray immediately said: "Life scan."
After activating the life scanning function, the drone directly marks the detected life on the HUD with green punctuation points, and displays the data in the lower left corner.
Humans: 5723 people.
Mutated species: 9938 people.
Analysis: Based on the current rate of reduction of pure human beings in the scanning area, it is expected that the defenders here will be killed in one hour and twenty-one minutes. (for reference only)
