Chapter 494: Confrontation Methods
“Are the original ocean bandits such waste now?”
Chen Lin looked at the various reports that have been published recently and leaned happily on the hammock. He started to sway, "Why don't they engage in trade protectionism? Add some additional tariffs, some anti-dumping, some monopoly investigations, etc. Shouldn't these measures be used directly at this time?"
< br>The assistant standing not far away smiled and said to Chen Lin: "Mr. Chen is joking, they have been useless for a day or two. This group of guys who started as pirates have not done anything since they entered the 21st century. They are too strong. Most of the reason why they were able to hang out before was because they had a good father."
Chen Lin suddenly laughed. The assistant really knew what he liked to hear, and the influence of the White Eagle Association. The subsidence is a huge shock to the whole world. The group of associations that used to rely on the White Eagle Association to show off their power are now as well-behaved as baby buses. The Red Dragon Association does not bother to take over these oil bottles and is still in a state of free rein. , leaving these associations to quell internal chaos on their own.
Guys like the Western Association were repeatedly treated like leeks by the White Eagle Association before. They didn't dare to say a word of nonsense. Instead, they put on airs about the entry of the Red Dragon Association, which really made the Red Dragon Association suffer a lot. deficit.
The current background is that everything has changed. The White Eagle Association's navy has been basically wiped out. The association has fallen into complete civil strife. All large-scale overseas garrisons have been evacuated to the mainland to quell the chaos. All the various military bases within the jurisdiction were deserted. The Western Association's local military forces were so fragile that they fell into panic in the early stages.
However, fortunately, the Grizzly Bear Association, which they had always regarded as their main enemy, and the further Red Dragon Association did not take advantage of this opportunity to take action, which gave them some relief.
“The association did not directly use military force this time. I saw in the news report that the Grizzly Bear Association increased the amount of natural gas they imported to the Western Association in order to respond to the Western Association’s joint policy of increasing tariffs and product restrictions. and the price of oil."
After Chen Lin finished speaking, the assistant suddenly asked in confusion: "They are targeting our commodity tariffs and restriction policies. Why did the Grizzly Bear Association raise the price?"< br>
"This is the petition for the Grizzly Bear Association."
Chen Lin said with a smile, "Although I haven't seen any news about the meeting between our association and the Grizzly Bear Association's senior officials, basically it can It is speculated that the Red Dragon Association and the Grizzly Bear Association have reached an agreement on this. Isn’t the Western Association still pretending to be there? Just let the Grizzly Bear Association beat them back to their original shape.”
"A few days ago, I saw that the association was laying special high-voltage transmission lines heading north. I estimate that in a while we will build a reactor in the hinterland of the Grizzly Bear Association. By then, the Grizzly Bear Association will sell Those resources such as oil and natural gas are completely priceless. If we don’t take them now and give them to Western associations, we will not be confident enough to take them anymore.”
The assistant listened to Chen. Lin had some different opinions after his words: "Mr. Chen is not right. We have begun to convert to new clean energy on a large scale. Electricity is about to become a fossil fuel and become the mainstream energy, but there is no such thing in other places." Our progress here.”
“Oh?”
"We have reaped the dividends of updated versions. The large-scale utilization of fusion reactors and various reactors as well as room-temperature superconducting materials has completely made electric power resources a mainstream energy source, and the price has become ridiculously low. If it were other The association simply cannot reach our level. They want to switch from fossil energy to electric energy, which requires a huge change. They simply don’t have the capabilities we have."
"Hahaha..."
Chen Lin laughed: "It is true, they have lost the ability to take the initiative to make progress."
He continued to read the news reports of the recent period, and almost learned about the West through this channel The current attitude shown by the association, those associations that have joined the unified currency are considering whether to negotiate with the Red Dragon Association privately. After all, their current tough stance is not good for their economic development. Many places are currently experiencing power and gas outages. Even basic life cannot be guaranteed.
The traditional shit-stirring associations have also lost their former glory. They realized early on what kind of shock the multinational group of the Red Dragon Association would cause after entering the West, and directly sent a delegation. to discuss cooperation matters.
Although Chen Lin has never had a good impression of this association, he has to admire this association's ability to assess the situation. Before many associations could understand the situation, they had already seen the current situation clearly, and even decided to take action early. A decision was made.
“It seems that we are almost certain to win over these Western associations.”
Chen Lin put down his tablet and said to the assistant not far away: “Is there anything else interesting recently? News? "
Anyun Base has been supporting the manufacturing of the stargate base directed by Ding Yi for some time. Large-scale personnel mobilization consumes a lot of resources, and Chen Lin is also busy with these two tasks. Geniuses have time to read the news.
“Well, there are two you might be interested in.”
"Tell me about it."
"One is that some of our troops on the Origin Star have begun to change their weapons again."
Chen Lin suddenly became interested and waved to his assistant to tell him the details Tell me what you changed into.
"You can get more information than me, Mr. Chen!"
The assistant pointed to the small robot suspended behind Chen Lin, and said helplessly: "The scale is not big enough. It’s big, it’s just a battalion’s equipment, it’s just for testing.”
"Okay, let me take a look at the situation."
Chen Lin hooked his hand towards the intelligent assistant robot, and the intelligent assistant immediately jumped out and showed Chen Lin a schematic diagram of the replacement of new equipment on the Origin Star.
The troops who changed their equipment were stationed at the outpost. The camp leader Chen Lin did not know him, but this was not the point. The point was that after using the electromagnetic weapons in their hands for more than two years, they finally had the opportunity to replace them with More advanced equipment.
The new weapon is called [Xinghai Weapon], and its full name is [Xinghai Guard-C1].
The firearm itself belongs to the category of energy firearms. It no longer uses traditional chemical propellants, but uses plasma as the firing source, which enables energy weapons to have the characteristics of high precision, high speed and high lethality. .
The shape of the firearm is completely different from conventional standard weapons or upgraded electromagnetic standard weapons. Its design is more streamlined, and its appearance shows the aesthetics of future technology. The smooth surface, integrated display screen and full touch interface are enough to ensure that it can adapt to different situations. Combat environment and operational requirements.
The Xinghai Defender-C1 model is made of a material called "Xinghai Alloy". Chen Lin specifically asked the intelligent assistant to analyze and explain the material. The above said very clearly that the alloy material is made of It is a fusion of a variety of rare minerals from the origin star. Each of these minerals has unique properties. Through complex interstellar mineral extraction technology and high-energy reactors, as well as precise control of temperature, pressure and energy input, these rare minerals are fused into a brand new The alloy - its name is [Xinghai Alloy].
[Xinghai Alloy] is a lightweight but extremely strong material with excellent high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and impact resistance. Its tensile strength and impact resistance far exceed anything known on earth. Metal that remains stable in extreme heat and harsh environments without melting or corroding. However, although the strength of heterogeneous steel is extremely high, its density is relatively low, making the weight of the weapons and equipment made acceptable. For example, the weight of this [Star Sea Guardian] firearm is only one third of the previous electromagnetic weapon. Second, it may be easier to accept for many soldiers and staff who do not wear armor.
This Star Sea Guardian rifle is equipped with an advanced aiming system, including infrared night vision, thermal imaging, laser aiming and artificial intelligence-assisted aiming, which will improve shooting accuracy and Shooting efficiency, this thing can switch the type of ammunition by autonomously switching the front muzzle. Most of them adopt a modular design, allowing users to quickly replace all components on the firearm according to different combat tasks and needs.
What’s even more perverted is that this thing can be equipped with a built-in micro nuclear battery!
Of course, if you don’t want this type of battery, you can also convert it into a crystal battery.
Both batteries can ensure long-term use and powerful shooting power. The plasma rays emitted by this type of energy source are powerful enough to easily penetrate any armor of modern warships, and can truly kill with one shot. Battleship.
“It’s really cool...”
After reading the entire introduction, Chen Lin couldn’t help but said to the assistant beside him: “This thing appeared so fast. The weapons seen at the New Weapons Research and Development Institute are all Gauss series. There has been a lot of research on electromagnetic propelled firearms. As a result, when this Star Sea Guard comes out, won't it directly eliminate those previous firearms? "< br>
"This is an experimental model after all, sir."
The assistant smiled and said to Chen Lin: "Now the troops are still using high-end electromagnetic weapons on a large scale. We have conducted several experiments on electromagnetic weapons before. This upgrade is very mature at the technical level and will never be completely eliminated in a while.”
“That’s right, although electromagnetic weapons are already outdated compared to this new type of weapon, their penetration and The lethality is really strong. If you don't turn on the protection mode while wearing combat armor, you will definitely not be able to exit unharmed when being fired by electromagnetic weapons. The electromagnetic weapons under the normal version update are the sharpest spears, and obviously our shield is currently in Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to stop the attack of the spear."
Chen Lin then asked the assistant: "You just said that there are two that I am interested in, and then you said the first one, what is the other one. ?”
“The Panshi Orbital Station has begun to use small-scale phase portals to enter other planets in the Red Sun Galaxy. I read the news from there that they are still communicating with the remaining Kara on the planet. The zerg engaged."
Chen Lin's eyes lit up. The last time he went to the Panshi Station, the staff were still talking to him about the recent issue of the Diying Star. At that time, the landing ships and transport ships were still mining minerals on a large scale on the small satellite of the Diying Star. and all kinds of resources, I didn’t expect to start entering the second planet there so soon.
"Last time I heard that there were Kara Zerg on the Rock and Frost planets. What planet are we logging on to this time?"
"It seems to be the Frost Star."
< br>"Isn't the surface of the planet almost completely covered by glaciers and icebergs? How could the association think about landing on this planet..."
Chen Lin muttered, and then signaled the intelligent assistant to tell the story about the blue ocean. Information about the Frost Star in the Red Sun Galaxy where the star is located is displayed.
The Frost Star is one circle larger than the Earth, and its volume is almost the same as Jupiter in the solar system. What makes it stronger than other planets is that it has an atmosphere, and the oxygen content inside the planet is much stronger than that of the Earth's Shadow Star.
However, no matter how strong it is, it cannot withstand the natural drawback of no sunlight, which directly leads to the scarcity of the number of living things on the planet.
“There is no sun on that planet!”
“Actually, Sir, the Frost Star is not completely devoid of sunlight, because it also revolves around the Red Sun Star, every day In fact, there is about an hour to get sunlight.”
The intelligent assistant directly gave Chen Lin the answer, and he continued: “But because the planet’s time to get sunlight is too short. This results in a huge temperature difference between day and night on the planet, and it is in an extremely cold environment most of the time. Places where the sun shines will cause the temperature to rise rapidly, resulting in strong convection phenomena. This is why the violent storms and weather changes on the frost star were born. .”
"So bad?"
Chen Lin asked: "Can there be Kara Zerg surviving on the planet in such an environment?"
"According to the initial exploration of our detection equipment, there are existences on the Frost Planet. Most of the small number of self-evolved Kara Zerg evolved from frost star creatures infected with the Kara virus, and most of them have evolved the ability to adapt to extremely cold weather."
Chen Lin is interested in intelligence. The assistant's explanation was still a bit surprising. He really didn't expect the vitality of the Kara Zerg to be so tenacious. The virus it carried was also capable of assimilating and infecting. In such a harsh environment, it could convert the creatures on the planet into their own. similar.
“There were no casualties after the association logged in, right?”
"Before landing, we had used Leviathan biological enzymes to disinfect the entire planet. There were a lot of storms and bad weather on the planet, which made it easier for us to put biological enzymes on it. The landing ship only took 48 hours on Earth. The biological enzyme elimination work of the entire Frost Planet has been completed.”
Chen Lin nodded and motioned to the intelligent assistant to display the video footage of the landing on the Frost Planet. The assistant completed the process almost without any pause. This work - the picture it showed was recorded by the landing ship Xingxing. As a landing ship dedicated to landing on the planet, it is equipped with almost all the equipment and devices that are convenient for landing and subsequent base construction.
The place chosen by the landing ship was located at the illumination point of the Frost Star. The direct sunlight for more than an hour allowed the landing ship to land on the ice sheet very smoothly, and it quickly found a suitable base station in the ice sheet.
Chen Lin could not imagine the terrifying thickness of those ice sheets. The things at the North and South Poles on the earth were probably incomparable. Special cutting equipment was used to cut them like metal.
The first batch of engineering robots that came off the landing ship jumped into the cut ice field to carry out construction operations. Taking advantage of the gap in the sunlight, they quickly completed the construction of the ice field temporary base.
If a real person were used to log in and work, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible at all.
