What is the most important defensive force in the base where Fermat is hiding?
It's those heavy machine guns.
As a defender, a heavy machine gun may be more effective than a complete light infantry squad.
The firing range of these heavy machine guns sealed the entire base tightly. As long as there was no attack from heavy armored vehicles, it was impossible for anyone to break in by force.
But for such important equipment, Raytheon Industries did not prepare any backup emergency power supply.
Don't you think it's strange? Arnall did not make any preparation plan for the main force guarding the base.
Although Arnold died like a clown in the end, Yang Jie didn't think he could be so stupid.
Even stranger is Ryan.
He never considered this issue when planning to infiltrate the base.
It seemed certain that as long as the power distribution station was blown up, those machine guns would be ineffective.
At the beginning, Yang Jie thought that he had taken it for granted. There might be some special situation in the wasteland that caused this. A series of quick actions prevented him from thinking too much about it.
But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Jie suddenly had another idea.
Is there a possibility that when the base was first designed, the installation of these heavy machine guns was not considered at all, so it was not thought of configuring a backup power supply.
After all, the Akainu team at that time did not have exoskeleton armor at all.
After learning that the Akainu team had the support of Peco's exoskeleton, those heavy machine guns were hurriedly deployed.
On the other hand, Ryan was very aware of the vulnerabilities of these heavy machine guns at least after returning to Lone Star for the first time.
In other words, the trump cards of both parties were actually clear from the beginning.
This idea is actually not logical, or it lacks a key point.
Yehuda has been captured. Logically speaking, Thor Industries should not know that they have exoskeleton armor.
And if Peco knew from the beginning that the troublemaker was Thor Industries, and also knew the specific location of the Thor Industrial base, then why would the Akainu team be so busy?
But the appearance of one person made everything connected instantly.
Peko's cousin - Dawson.
Perhaps, from the beginning, he was the real leader of Fermat's defection.
When Yang Jie broke away from the shackles of "Thor Industries-Lone Star Rivalry" and looked at the entire incident from the perspective of "infighting within the Delio family," he suddenly became enlightened.
Is Fermat's defection really that important to the Lone Star Republic?
In other words, if Raytheon Industries acquires Fermat, will it be possible to imitate exoskeletons?
almost none.
The technologies involved in exoskeleton armor are quite complex, including materials, power, transmission, circuits, signals, programming... Each technology is a difficulty that needs to be overcome.
Fermat was just one of the people involved in the design and could not possibly know everything.
Even if he took away all the technical documents when he defected, it would still be impossible to completely solve these problems.
Mechanical manufacturing is not just about drawing drawings.
The special requirements of each part, the ratio and metallurgical process of various special metals, the special processes used in processing, etc. are all things that must be considered and solved during manufacturing.
Taking a step back, even if the information Fermat took away was extremely detailed, so fine that the processing requirements and technical key points of each part were clearly marked and explained, would Thor Industries be able to imitate it?
still can not.
The reason is simple, you don't have the sophisticated industrial machines and other production equipment that can make these things.
The more complex and sophisticated the equipment, the more related industrial fields are involved behind it.
In the final analysis, if the industrial foundation is not strong enough and the technological development is not advanced enough, even the idea of building these things is redundant.
Why does Lone Star dare to sell its exoskeleton to Jiugang, and is it not afraid that Jiugang will imitate it?
It's because they know that even if Jiugang can understand the technical principles of exoskeletons, they still can't build one.
This cannot be solved by adding Fermat.
If Fermat could really handle this kind of thing, would he still be just an ordinary scientific researcher? Would Lone Star be so slack on this "important weapon of the country" that he wouldn't even be alert to escape?
After thinking about these things, Yang Jie already understood that the so-called "technology theft" did not exist from the beginning.
Everything is just a struggle within the Delio family.
Dawson hoped to use Fermat's defection to hinder Peco's candidacy for Congress.
Peco hopes to use the Akainu team to resolve his own crisis.
As for Arnall?
That's just a second-rate guy being used as a weapon.
Dawson and Peco, with Richie's acquiescence, engaged in an unbreakable contest.
Yang Jie even felt that the inaction of the Lone Star Intelligence Department might be fueled by Rich's ulterior motives.
But Yang Jie didn't care about any of this.
It doesn't matter to him what internal conflicts the Delio family has, or what the future will be like for the "surface allies" of Old Port and Lone Star.
All he really cared about was what Ryan was thinking at the time.
Seeing the expression on Ryan's face, Yang Jie smiled with relief, already having the answer in his heart.
"So, before you knew about Piero's betrayal, you really planned to take us to die, right?"
"It's just that the task is more difficult..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Yang Jie's emotions finally broke out.
He stood up suddenly and grabbed Ryan.
With eyes wide open, Yang Jie looked at the ashamed Ryan. He cursed angrily:
"You are a soldier of Lone Star, you are Peco's friend, we are not!
We're just a bunch of fucking wastelanders!
We trust you so much that we never hesitate when you give us an order.
But how do you give back to us? "
Yang Jie's eyes were red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he held onto Ryan's collar with all his strength.
"Betrayal, deception, use!
It's like treating it like a rag, we throw it away after use, but you actually said it's for our own good? "
When he said this, he pushed Ryan to the ground and asked loudly:
"How do you have the nerve to say this!"
No matter how Yang Jie treated him, even if he was sitting on the ground, Ryan would lower his head and not say a word.
"Are the soles of Peco's shoes so easy to lick? Is the honor of the Lone Star Republic so noble?
Allowing you to abandon even the most basic responsibilities and morals! "
Yang Jie gasped and looked at Ryan who said nothing.
"You are indeed not a good leader.
But it's not because you're stupid, and it's not because you joined Lone Star. "
He said:
“Peco is lucky to have a friend like you.
But it is our misfortune that Team Akainu has a leader like you. "
Yang Jie suddenly paused as he spoke, looked at the man who didn't dare to raise his head, and smiled mockingly.
"Akainu, Akainu."
Yang Jie murmured Ryan's nickname twice and squeezed out the last words from his mouth through gritted teeth:
"You are really a good dog raised by Lone Star."
