Musk's open-mindedness and optimism are completely opposite to the performance of ordinary people in the general environment.
When ordinary people were worried about whether the alien army would attack, he still maintained the simplest belief.
Leave professional matters to professionals. Too much worry will affect your work efficiency.
Sumo was dumbfounded for a moment, but Musk's approach was exactly the same as him.
Although the war on the front line may have entered the most intense period of contact, he also has no idea of participating in it.
It is his job to get more special survival points and prepare for the first gambling battle with gods.
The more chaotic the external environment is, the less likely we are to be in chaos.
“Do you plan to mass-produce this equipment and push it to the frontline army?” Sumo thought for a moment. Musk’s ability to develop a prototype so quickly must have taken into account that the war was coming.
If frontline armies can be equipped with this kind of exoskeleton armor on a large scale, the winning rate of humans against alien races will definitely increase by a few percentage points.
In large-scale ethnic wars, these few percentage points may mean the lives of millions or tens of millions of people.
"I have this idea, but I still have to test the effect." Musk said in a low voice.
“The price of this equipment is not cheap. Even if it is equipped with 100,000 people, it will be an astronomical sum. Moreover, future maintenance and replacement will be troublesome. It is difficult to organize a corresponding mechanized maintenance team.”
“But fortunately in the current economic environment, everything is about war first and winning two gambling battles first. There is no need to think about economic benefits, infrastructure, rate of return, etc., even if these equipment have to be spent. The territory’s material inventory can definitely be understood by ordinary people.”
“It’s difficult.” Su Mo smiled, “This set of equipment looks like it, but you should know the actual effect. , it’s too stupid. At least three versions need to be optimized before it can be put into actual combat. It also needs a comprehensive innovation and breakthrough in materials.”
If you want to build a mechanized army, the biggest test is your logistics capabilities.
The more sophisticated the machinery, the more likely it is to malfunction in a fierce firefight. At this time, if the logistics maintenance team cannot keep up in time, the expensive equipment may be abandoned on the front line before it can function.
After using it too many times, the user will no longer believe in the reliability of the equipment, and will naturally develop a rejection mentality.
Colleges, foundations, and companies as powerful as Blue Star have not formed large-scale mechanized teams.
Even those with top-level combat power in battle armor are rare.
"In addition, you also need to develop a set of automatic maintenance equipment. It only requires simple manual operation and positioning to troubleshoot the problem and then repair it in a targeted manner." Sumo continued, these technologies are actually Tianyuan The territory has been developed for a long time, and certain results have been achieved.
If Musk really has the determination and ability to promote Golden Eagle to form a mechanized force, he would not mind trading out the technology.
"You make it simple. How could this kind of technology be so easy to develop?" Musk rolled his eyes. It was a miracle that he could build this prototype in such a short time. .
How can it be so simple to develop related equipment from scratch?
"Come in and talk, but I have to remind you. The data I sent you last time was free, but this time if you want to take this guy to get new information and data from me, you have to Paid.”
“It’s simple, you can ask whatever you want, and it won’t be a problem if I give you anything.”
Musk generously took off his armor and handed it to Thomas to take aside for safekeeping.
The two entered the stone house one after the other.
The Tesla Territory and the Boulder Territory have reached an agreement to provide assistance, and the reception conditions are much better this time. Somo personally twisted a handful of tea leaves and put them into the teapot, and drank two cups of tea.
"Let's talk about the situation on the front line first. How is the progress of the aliens in the east?"
"The progress is very fast." With no outsiders around, Musk couldn't help but frown.
"This time, the aliens' actions are very large, covering almost the entire eastern plate. Our human territories in the east have been under siege by aliens for more than ten days. Now the number of territories that have been conquered has reached nine, and the number of casualties is close to four million. ."
"But that's not the most troublesome thing."
He paused, looked at Somo who was looking thoughtful, and continued.
“You know, there are spies among us humans. They have taken refuge with the aliens. They not only sold information to them, but also pretended to deceive the trust of other territories, thereby creating opportunities for the aliens to attack.”
Expected.
Sumo took a deep breath. Whether it was a future ruin or reality, this kind of thing was still happening.
There will always be a group of humans who cannot withstand the temptation, betray the ethnic group, and seek refuge with foreign races for glory.
"After the crisis of confidence is established, everyone in the major territories will be in danger, and the foreign races will be better able to attack in isolation. The big trouble will soon spread to our southern plate, up to two months"
< br>"Does the Golden Eagle have any plans to send people to the front line to stop the attack?" Sumo couldn't help but ask.
Although in his current capacity, it is a bit sensitive and strange to ask such a question, but sometimes it is precisely such an obvious crossing of boundaries that can quickly bring the relationship between two people closer.
Sure enough, Musk gave him a strange look, but still replied:
"This is inevitable. We cannot allow the aliens to enter the southern plate unimpeded. At least we must not let them before the end of the autumn harvest." Destruction will occur, and then there will be winter. As long as we can hold on until winter, we will have a buffer period of at least three months."
"Now the major federal territories are organizing troops to gather and go to the front lines and alien races. We are at war. I cannot tell you the specific numbers and scale due to confidentiality reasons, but it will definitely not be less than seven figures. In addition, the Northern Alliance and Longqi will send troops accordingly to suppress the aliens in the eastern sector. "< br>
Seven digits means one million people.
It is indeed the territory of the Yusan family. Just a simple sniper attack can produce such a terrifying scale.
If the three territories could all come up with this number of troops, the alien attack would definitely be stopped for a while.
As long as we can survive until winter comes, the harsh climatic conditions can at least stop the war for a while and persist until the first gambling battle begins.
"Don't worry, although the situation on the front line is serious, it is far from the point where we need to worry."
Seeing Somo lowering his head in thought, Musk couldn't help but comfort him: "You guys Don’t the Chinese say that if the sky falls, there will be a tall one to hold it up? If the aliens come over, the human God Su will definitely not sit idly by.”
Damn it.
It's okay not to say that, but when Su Mo said it, he couldn't hold himself tight.
In this kind of war, which has reached tens of millions of levels, the impact that an individual can bring is minimal.
But Musk is right, if the sky falls, there will indeed be someone tall to hold it up.
At this stage, the tall man is in the territory of the Yusan family, and he does not need to worry about the invasion of foreign races.
“What we need now is research, armor, and new technologies that can be used on the battlefield.”
Musk's voice changed and his tone became passionate.
"How about it? I see that you are very concerned about the front line. Do you want to go to my territory and let's do something big that can affect the front line?" His plan before coming was divided into two steps.
The first is to induce him by promising some benefits that Lao Zhang cannot refuse in exchange, so that he agrees to Sumo joining the Tesla territory as a technical consultant.
The second is to lure him with conditions. For a research talent, a well-equipped laboratory is undoubtedly the most attractive thing. He is extremely sure that there is absolutely no qualified experimental conditions in the Boulder Territory. With Sumo's ability , most experiments cannot be carried out, and only paper data are available.
However, now that he discovered that Sumo was so interested in frontline battles, Musk adjusted his plan in time.
Use the war on the front line as an attraction. Think about the equipment you develop and use on the front line, and in the war against aliens. Needless to say, the temptation is there.
Sumo raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect Musk to say that, and was a little surprised.
"Tell me, what do you want to help you with? Perfect this prototype and strive for mass production of exoskeletons?"
Musk nodded: "With the help of routes, human beings can move Although the ability is far beyond what we thought was the limit in the past, it is difficult to exert this part of the limit value because the weapons we use do not essentially require such a high limit value.”
The lower limit of damage a gun can cause is very high. As long as it can break through the defense, it will result in death or injury.
But the upper limit of the gun is also very low. Once it cannot break through the defense, it is just a fire stick.
Even if it is like what is shown in the movie, hitting more than a dozen bullets at the same position in a row to break the defense and cause damage, it is still not too much in a battle of hundreds of thousands or millions of people. Practical significance.
Therefore, mankind is in urgent need of a weapon that can exert the limit value of movement.
In Musk’s view, exoskeleton armor may be the best choice.
When advancing, you can form a battle group to carry out frontal suppression and strikes against foreign races. When retreating, you can use your perfect maneuverability to create a guerrilla blocking effect.
Especially in small-scale assault battles, humans wearing exoskeletons can charge into the formation unscrupulously, similar to cavalry in the cold weapon era.
And these are exactly what guns cannot provide at all.
"Why not choose to study missiles? Aren't beyond-visual-range strikes more effective?" Sumo asked.
"Two reasons. One is the cost issue. The wasteland is not like modern times, which can directly position and guide through satellites. We can't launch satellites now, and it is very troublesome to solve the problem of guidance, so even if missiles are developed , it can only be aimed and released through manual intervention at close range, but this loses the advantage of over-the-horizon strikes.”
Musk said solemnly, "The second is the result of losing control of the weapon. You also know the trust issue. If the missile we developed falls into the hands of human traitors, they press the launch button at the Golden Eagle's command headquarters. , no one can bear such consequences, which far exceed the benefits brought by our use of missiles."
Almost the same answer as in Future Relics.
The three major territories have strictly controlled the iterative update speed of weapons from beginning to end, not without their own considerations.
Not only are the traitors lurking within humans capable of stealing weapons, aliens also have the means to infiltrate humans and gain access to powerful weapons.
Once you really want them to succeed, not only will all your efforts become empty talk, but it will also be equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot.
"It seems that a lot of things have changed, but a lot of things have stayed the same," Sumo said silently in his heart, with mixed emotions for a while.
Real war is far from a simple game on a chessboard.
It is not a straightforward duel between kings, generals fighting, or soldiers fighting, so upright and clear the outcome.
War is definitely a profound and complex chess game, its cruelty far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Often the fierce collision on the frontal battlefield is just the tip of the iceberg.
Underneath the undercurrent is a more secretive and cunning contest.
Leaking, assassination, disguise. Behind the victory are countless unknown conspiracies and tricks, which are the ultimate challenge of resourcefulness and courage.
Every victory in a battle may be a foreshadowing of the next failure.
Every failure may also lay the foundation for the final victory.
No one will know whether this move was wrong or right until the real result comes.
"How about it? Individual combat armor is definitely the best choice. We customize it according to human body shape data. Even if it is given to a foreign race, they will never be able to use it."
Musk said excitedly: " We can also build in a few control rules, so we don’t have to worry about traitors getting this equipment to use against our own people. When the time comes, we can easily win by just pressing the button.”
“ A very good idea." Sumo nodded slightly.
“Then let’s talk about the deal. I can help you perfect this exoskeleton suit, from materials to design to maintenance. As long as you trust me, these things can be perfected very quickly. ”
“Of course, of course I believe you.”
Musk's eyes lit up and he became energetic instantly, "Tell me, what do you need?"
Evening.
Musk took the people away. He seemed to be in a very good mood when he left. He directly ordered the amount of assistance materials for the Boulder Territory to be tripled in the next cycle.
However, many people in the Boulder Territory were not very happy after receiving the news.
“What, Lord Ji wants to go to Tesla territory, what should we do?”
"Without Lord Ji, what use do we need for all this help?"
"People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. It is normal for Lord Ji to go to Tesla territory."
>
"Yes, Lord Ji has gone to the Tesla territory, and maybe he can take better care of our Boulder territory."
"But." The Niu brothers stood in the crowd and opened their mouths.
They were the first people to come into contact with the boulder, so they naturally knew that the soul of the boulder was Boss Ji.
Without him, this boulder territory would have no foundation, and there was no guarantee that it would not collapse instantly like the territories outside.
"Don't worry, I'm just going for a while to do research, and I will come back in the future."
Sending Musk off, Sumo came back in time to refute the rumors.
In the past two weeks, 80% of the wishes of the villagers left in the 'Giant Mountain God Statue' have been fulfilled. Before a new round of faith is formed, the progress of obtaining survival points in the megalithic territory will definitely change. Much slower.
Instead of staying here and continuing to harvest mosquito legs, it would be better to go to Tesla’s territory and harvest the bigger ones.
Wait until the boulder territory develops steadily and come back when you have more wishes, so that you can make the most of your time.
