While moving to the mobile base, Lin Xi spread some knowledge about the federal forces to Chu Jungui.
The Lancers are one of the Federation's most famous special forces. They are not a completely underwater mechanism like the Special Operations Service, but they only have half an official identity. This allows it to perform many gray area tasks.
Every special unit is a behemoth, and the Lancers are no exception. It is said that it has the secret support of several big figures in the Circle of Roses, and in some star fields it even exists like a family's private army. Because of their strong financial resources, no one has ever been able to estimate the exact size of the Lancers.
There are many famous generals in the Lancers, and 'Mechanical Enemy' Joseph and 'Black Broken Blade' William are two of them. They are also quite famous young generals. Both of them are less than 30 years old this year and have already reached the rank of general.
At this point in the introduction, Lin Xi did not forget to add: "Their major general was forcibly beaten on the battlefield. He is completely different from the parallel import Ling Fei."
Chu Jungui nodded and silently added one item to the code of conduct: Never say good things about Ling Fei.
Joseph and William were both well-known, with similar family backgrounds and similar ages, so the competition was fierce. In the past, the two had similar results.
Such a dangerous mission to Planet 4, at least so far, has been a failure. These two outstanding generals of the younger generation arrived one after another. It was obvious that they had no regard for life and death, and only honor was the only goal they pursued.
At this time, the colonel interjected: "The two of them have been taking turns directing the battle on the front line. If necessary, they will even fight in person. Several times the fortress wall was breached, and they personally led the team to fight back the beasts."
"Do they have a good relationship?" Lin Xi was a little curious.
"No, we basically quarreled every day. We have arranged several duels after the war." At this point, Roland couldn't help laughing.
Chu Jungui handed over the driving to Lin Xi, and took the colonel into the work area. He asked the colonel to send the cut armor blocks to the refining furnace for reheating, while he installed the fourth pulp power furnace on the mobile base.
When the four pulp power furnaces are operating at full capacity, coupled with three fusion energy packages, the output power can reach 1,500kw. The all-terrain speed of the mobile base is correspondingly increased to 50 kilometers per hour, and the payload is also greatly increased. If the battery pack used as a temporary power reserve is included, the total power can be increased to 2500kw, and the all-terrain speed exceeds 60 kilometers per hour. If it is any higher, the structure and shock absorption of the mobile base will not be enough and additional reinforcements will be needed.
After Chu Jungui installed the power furnace, the colonel also completed two furnaces of metal materials.
Chu Jungui put the processed alloy raw materials into the workbench, then filled it with pre-treated wood and began to make modular armor plates.
Seeing the armor plates produced on the workbench, the colonel suddenly said: "I have a better recipe here, do you want to take a look?"
He called up a recipe from his personal terminal and sent it to Chu Jungui.
This is a design drawing using double-leaf tree wood as the main material, supplemented by an alloy micro-frame, with a hexagonal honeycomb micro-structure inside. The plate produced by this design has half the defense capability than Chu Jungui's existing design, and is also one-third lighter in weight.
The key to this design drawing is that the Federation's research on double-leaf trees is much ahead of Chu Jungui and Lin Xi, allowing them to design materials with better physical properties.
"Good stuff! If there's anything else, let's take it out together."
The colonel spread his hands and said, "No more, really no more."
Seeing Chu Jungui's unkind look, the colonel quickly explained, "We have continuous supplies and are not short of materials. It is just because we need a lot of building materials to build a base that we studied the trees, rocks and soil here. This design drawing is a study Results.”
This explanation is very reasonable. Chu Jungui and Lin Xi are completely destitute and started from scratch, so they are particularly dependent on the resources of this planet. If there were airdropped supplies like the Federation, there wouldn't be a 'mechanical keyboard'. Until now, the performance of the biomass rifle has not been able to fully match the original survival rifle, forcing Chu Jungui to embark on the path of no return relying on explosions.
The Lancers are the most powerful special force in the Federation, and their supplies are naturally top-notch. If there is equipment with better performance, it will naturally not waste time and effort to start from basic material research. What's more, they are constantly besieged by beast waves and suffer heavy casualties. From the perspective of protecting the soldiers, they must use the best equipment. Even if the existing equipment of the Federation is not suitable for the planetary environment, it is still much better than the biomass rifle.
Most of the researchers in the Shadow Fortress are studying the structure and weaknesses of various war beasts, and a small number of them are studying the use of local materials. The most fruitful is the use of double-leaved trees. Because there is a large fusion furnace, the Shadow Fortress has no shortage of energy. The abundant electricity contained in the double-leaf tree is a burden, and it must be discharged before it can be used.
For Chu Jungui and Lin Xi, the electricity-free waste slag discharged from the power furnace is the perfect material. In the past, these waste residues were thrown away directly, but now they have a use.
Chu Jungui input the design drawing into the chip, and in about ten minutes, the chip used the waste residue as raw material to re-modify the design drawing. Chu Jungui entered the new design drawing into the workbench and got a new armor plate after a while.
This armor plate has beautiful purple lines all over its body and looks like a work of art. Chu Jun returned and looked over it several times before handing it to Roland and saying, "Let's see if the performance is different from what you produced."
The colonel casually picked up an old-fashioned pistol beside the workbench, pointed it at the armor plate, and said, "Isn't this simple? Just try it twice and you will know."
Chu Jungui was shocked, jumped up and knocked down the colonel, and grabbed the pistol. Fortunately the pistol didn't go off.
Chu Jungui carefully turned off the safety and put the pistol away.
Roland was dizzy from the fall and a little confused, "What's wrong?"
Chu Jungui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This gun is full of fission bombs, and a single shot is equivalent to one hundred tons."
The colonel immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "Put fission bombs in a pistol? Who came up with this idea? Are you crazy?"
Chu Jungui was helpless, "I think so too."
"And that mechanical keyboard..." The colonel had already seen the mechanical keyboard with his own eyes, as well as the belt feeding system. While admiring the ability to create such a weapon from scratch, the colonel also deeply doubted the designer's mental state.
The firepower of this thing is fierce, but the trajectory arc is so large that it will make the shooter doubt his life. In addition, there is a rocket extended range propulsion design, which is quite anti-human.
This isn't a gun, it's just a handheld version of a miniature howitzer. It's just that this cannon fired flawlessly in Chu Jungui's hands and had the effect of a terminal guided missile. The technological level has advanced by 300 years.
Five high-speed troop carriers with weak defenses were covered by the firepower of an artillery battery, and the defeat was not unfair at all.
