Qin Mo believed that as long as he could get the blood of the clan leader, he could create weapons that could exterminate their entire clan.
"No matter what you want to do." Gray assured Qin Mo with his head held high, "You can always use me as a weapon and throw me into a battle with no return, as long as this can benefit the entire war situation."
"I will." Qin Mo nodded.
Chapter 24 Speculation
……
Planetary Defense Force defense line, 87th, 31st Regiment station.
After Qin Mo came to support and built a small fortress, the rebels had not launched an attack for a while, but no one relaxed their vigilance. They were ready to receive orders from Qin Mo at any time and rushed to where he needed them. The place to rush to.
On this calm day, the two regiment commanders Duncan and Albert and the soldiers gathered outside the fortress, watching the logistics machinery that kept coming and going from the position.
These black spherical machines used to transport food and ammunition, but now they transport weapons.
The giant black metal box was hoisted by the logistics machinery and placed on the ground. Then they began to recycle the metal from the metal box, and improved laser rifles appeared in front of everyone.
"Is this a laser rifle with a scope attached?"
"You'll know if you try it."
The soldiers happily picked up their laser rifles, then walked to the shooting range outside the small fortress and shot at targets made of rebel equipment and wooden figures.
Then they were surprised to find that the laser rifle had a faster rate of fire, and the battery capacity was significantly increased, allowing it to shoot more beams before the energy was exhausted.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of weapons and equipment.
Half a month has passed since I heard that Cato City was stabilized, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are being sent to the position.
Including but not limited to, a Leman Russ tank, several ordinary power armors, unmanned transport aircraft, and even unmanned self-propelled artillery.
Those self-propelled artillery were built on anti-gravity suspension platforms. They did not require human control and did not leave room for the operator.
After being hoisted by logistics machinery and placed on the position, these artillery pieces will automatically gather together.
"Leman Russ tanks. Your Majesty is above." Albert, who was an armored soldier, looked at the Leman Russ tanks parked with unmanned artillery outside the fortress in amazement. "The passage to the lower nest has been blown up. Well, I really don’t know how this tank was made.”
The Leman Russ tank is a heavy tank equipped in the Imperial Astra Militarum. Not just any hive or industrial world can build this kind of war machine.
If Tyron Hive had the ability to produce Leman Russ tanks, the Empire would have sent troops to deal with the rebels long ago.
"Just like this fortress." Duncan looked at the small fortress, "It should be a product of creation magic."
As one of the positions that Qin Mo personally saved, everyone here has seen the magic of creation performed by Qin Mo. In just a few minutes, a fortress can rise from the ground.
Everyone here has also seen the power armor worn by Qin Mo and the survivors of the 44th Regiment. Taken together, it is not particularly strange that the Leman Russ tank was created.
"Did you notice that those artillery pieces were unmanned? Just like those black eggs." Albert suddenly lowered his voice with a mysterious look on his face.
Duncan understood what Albert meant.
Ever since the emergence of the black eggs... logistics machinery, rumors have circulated on the battlefield that those black eggs contain hate intelligence, because they have no one to control them and no one to guide them, but they can do anything.
The current unmanned artillery makes this rumor more convincing.
"Maybe, but we need them now, otherwise we can't even guarantee the logistics, can we?"
"This is the truth..."
"Keep silent on this matter. Sometimes knowing too much and talking too much are both bad things."
"Ah."
After a few words, Duncan and Albert ended the topic tacitly and changed the subject.
"What do you think these weapons and equipment are used for?" Albert asked.
"Obviously, build a combined regiment." Duncan expressed his judgment. "Our entire regiment is an infantry regiment, and the armored troops have long been lost in the offensive plan. We need weapons and equipment that can be used to attack fortresses."
"Synthesis group..." Albert's view was exactly the same as Duncan's.
"I can even imagine what it will be like after all the weapons and equipment are rationed." Duncan pointed at the Leman Russ tank. "Each regiment has a Leman Russ tank as its core, with a small number of elite infantry wearing power armor, and fighting in unmanned aerial vehicles. We advance under the cover of artillery, and maybe those soldiers wearing more powerful power armor will arrive to lead our counterattack."
"You said counterattack?" Albert was a little surprised.
"That's right, otherwise what else can the synthesis group be used for? Is it held in the fortress?" Duncan said calmly.
Speaking of this, Albert suddenly felt that Qin Mo was brewing a war.
A counterattack.
Now that the defense line has been integrated, and according to the latest news, the Cato settlement has been relieved. Everyone has been stationed until now and has a firm foothold, and it is time to counterattack.
Although the number of our own side is now very small and the troops are not elite, they have been passively beaten so far. Just thinking about the concept of counterattack is enough to make people's blood boil.
"But we are too few in number. Do you think a counterattack is realistic?" Albert asked.
"Rather than being passively beaten, we should counterattack." Duncan lowered his head and looked at the scorched metal ground under his feet. "We are actually just trapped animals still fighting. If we must die, why can't we bite the rebels hard? Die? Maybe someone will record our heroic deeds in the future."
This sentence contained deep pessimism. After hearing this, Albert frowned and lowered his head in meditation, but the result of his meditation was completely consistent with Duncan.
In fact, everyone is still fighting in a corner, but they just don't want to sit there and wait for death. No one really thinks they can win.
If death is inevitable, then punching the rebels before death is indeed a wise choice.
Taking everything into consideration, although no counterattack or other war orders were sent from the communicator, the answer is obvious, counterattack is inevitable.
"We will be like shooting stars, shining with the most dazzling light in the night sky, even if this light lasts for a very short time." Duncan said very literary.
"What is a shooting star?" Albert asked. "I'm a layman, man. If this thing called a star is in the sky, I've never seen it."
"Meteor is an astronomical phenomenon. It will burst into the sky from the bottom of the hive, and then draw an arc like being shot out by a slingshot." Duncan answered very seriously.
Albert suddenly understood and nodded: "I have never seen a meteor, but I know that if tanks are used to bombard the rebels, the effect after the rebels' bodies are blown away should be similar to the meteor you mentioned."
Duncan nodded in approval, thinking that the effect should be similar. After all, he had only heard of meteors but never seen them.
The two friends were silent for a while.
Duncan suddenly said: "The effect of us being blown up by the rebels should be the same."
Chapter 25 Creation Printing Technology
……
Another half month passed.
During this period, Duncan discovered a strange thing, that is, the number of power armors delivered by the logistics machinery suddenly increased, enough for each person to have one.
Of course, Duncan didn't think that everyone would have one piece of power armor. He thought that this was just a logistics machine that sent power armor here in order to reduce the workload, so that people here could distribute the power armor.
So Duncan and Albert discussed it, and they decided to leave only one piece of power armor for the squad leader of each infantry squad in their two regiments, and distribute the rest to friendly forces in nearby positions.
After doing this, the two of them always felt uneasy.
When the power armor came into his hands, he first gave one to each of his squad leaders. This behavior was obviously excessive. The more serious thing was Mao's friendly army equipment. The two of them had been worried about accusations from other friendly armies, and then Qin Mo came to the door with someone. .
And this worry became a reality half a month later today.
At this time, in addition to the logistics machinery that came in and out every day, an unmanned transport aircraft suddenly arrived on the position.
When the transport plane changed from level flight to a suspended state, everyone who heard the sound gathered under the transport plane and looked nervously at the people who were about to jump off.
boom.
boom.
At the same time as the sound of the power armor legs colliding with the metal ground was heard, two people wearing advanced power armor landed on the ground and slowly stood upright.
The people present immediately recognized that these were Qin Mo and Gray who had come to support them.
Duncan immediately stepped forward to salute Qin Mo as an eagle, but Albert did not dare to come out.
Qin Mo walked forward while scanning the people present, with Gray following behind him.
While observing, Qin Mo discovered that some people here were wearing power armor and some were not.
The power armor worn by the soldiers was not the kind of power armor he and Gray wore, but an ultra-low-end version.
It just helps the wearer increase strength and speed, and then there is a battlefield information processing system to help in combat, as well as integrated thermal imaging and biological detection functions.
But even this kind of power armor is not worn by everyone.
"Why isn't everyone wearing power armor?" Qin Mo lowered his head and looked at Duncan, asking in confusion.
"Huh?" Duncan was stunned when he was asked. He thought he was hallucinating. Qin Mo's words should be asking about the power armor he handled a few days ago being distributed to the squad leaders.
If anyone could get a piece of power armor, it would be like the Emperor's power.
"He's asking you something." Gray frowned and looked at Duncan, "According to his plan, ordinary power armor is a piece of equipment for each person. Why don't all your soldiers wear power armor?"
Duncan lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He recalled the uneasiness of these days and felt mixed emotions.
I thought it was too much to give one piece of power armor to each of his squad leaders, but now that he learned that it would be one piece for each of his squad leaders, this change of mood left Duncan speechless.
Seeing Duncan thinking, Qin Mo could probably guess what was going on, so he reminded him, "Don't send the power armor out next time. The logistics machinery will accurately deliver the weapons and equipment to your door instead of just piling them up for you to distribute to others."
"So... in fact, those ordinary power armors are really capable of being used by everyone, right?" Duncan asked in surprise.
"Otherwise?" Qin Mo asked back.
He improved the production process of logistics machinery half a month ago, with the purpose of enhancing the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers as much as possible and ensuring that each of them has a piece of power armor to wear.
The previous production process was that logistics machinery ran around collecting materials, "opening treasure chests" from the ancient ruins of the bottom nest, or going to Cato to find materials. Once the materials were found, they were collected and concentrated in one place for smelting and manufacturing. parts, and then send the parts to a place for splicing and assembly.
Qin Mo's improved production process is based on a technology called creation printing. Logistics machinery can directly print materials into weapons and equipment, which greatly improves productivity.
"Why didn't you pick up the communicator and ask when you received the extra power armor?" Gray asked.
"Who would have thought that everyone could have one of those power armors?" Duncan looked confused.
"Who would have thought that you would be willing to give away the power armor you got?" Gray asked again.
"Sorry, I'm going to get them back now."
"There's no need to go. The power armor you generously gave away should be reserved for others."
When Duncan wanted to immediately go to a nearby position to get the power armor back, Qin Mo dissuaded him and then asked the logistics machinery to supply the newly produced power armor to the people in this position.
Finally, Qin Mo turned around and walked towards the transport drone. Before boarding the drone, he said to Duncan: "I am here to inspect whether the people in each position are using new weapons and equipment. I have to rush to the next position, and You must arm your soldiers as soon as the new power armor is delivered."
"Yes." Duncan nodded in a daze. He still feels that this is an extremely happy dream.
