Chapter 198 News
After listening to Lin Zhengyang’s story, Mr. Wei’s heart immediately sank. He quickly called the engineer for more detailed inquiries.
Speaking of this, they were a bit unlucky. You must know that because the geothermal energy extractor was too large, they took it apart and transported it into 20 armored vehicles.
Of these 20 armored vehicles, only 3 transported important parts. But by coincidence, one of the armored vehicles was blown over.
"Is there really no way to repair it?" Wei Tianxing asked reluctantly after a slight silence.
"We don't have enough technical reserves, and they are all high-end precision equipment. There is no equipment to repair such equipment here in the shelter, and we don't even have a chance to try it." The engineer was also quite helpless.
They have been in contact with this set of geothermal energy extractors for more than half a year. Coupled with the previous repair work, they also have a deep understanding of this set of equipment. If there are supporting repair instruments, You may not be able to try it.
There are only one or two instruments that can repair such cutting-edge precision equipment in large bases with scientific research laboratories. As for a medium-sized shelter like theirs, don't even think about it. Think about it.
“If the geothermal energy extractor loses this important component, can it be replaced by other equipment? If it cannot be replaced, can the geothermal energy extractor be able to operate without this important component? Even a low-power one can Okay." Wei Tianxing asked two more questions from the side.
But the engineer gave a ruthless answer, "No, this is an important part of the converter. Without it, the entire equipment cannot operate at all."
"Well, this is all my problem. Once I have arranged things here, I will immediately leave for the East China Sea Base. I will show off my old face and find those old guys to help me get this important part. Come out." Lin Zhengyang said with a sigh.
If they follow the normal process, it will take at least 4 to 5 months for them to re-customize this important component. However, he still has some connections in the military. If they use these connections, they should be able to The time was compressed to two months.
"Wait a minute! We still have hope. Don't forget these important parts. We have customized two sets." Wei Tianxing shook his head.
Yes, what Mr. Wei was talking about was the important set of equipment that Lin Xinyang and the others had.
At first, he made this arrangement just out of caution, but he didn't expect that it would now become his last hope.
After all, if you re-customize parts, the money spent is still a small thing, but the important thing is time.
You must know that as the abyss passage continues to expand, there is less and less time left for them to develop. If two months are wasted, many plans will be postponed.
"You mean those mercenary groups? I'm not talking about you, Old Wei. In the final analysis, mercenaries are just people with combat experience. They have not undergone any strict training at all. Let them kill zombies and they will still be able to kill them." Okay, but now we are fighting the armed forces of the Morgan Consortium."
"I have no problem with you using them as bait to attract the attention of the Morgan Consortium, but giving them such an important task is just a waste. It shouldn't be." Lin Zhengyang said with a frown.
In his opinion, both important parts should be handed over to the military department for transportation. Although it is very risky to put eggs in the same basket, no matter how big it is, it should be better than putting it in those mercenaries. The regiment is in good hands.
"Lao Yang, I don't agree with what you said. Do you think the mercenary group today is still the same as when the mercenary guild was first established a year ago?"
"I admit that the mercenaries at that time were The regiment is noisy, no different from a mob, but after a year of life licking blood, do you believe that in this kind of small-scale group battle that does not require much command, you can definitely fight with the soldiers of your military headquarters? What comes and goes."
"It may not work if the mercenaries are sent to the real main battlefield, but if they are used as surprise soldiers, we can still look forward to it," Wei Tianxing immediately retorted.
"Okay, okay, even if you are right, it is evenly matched. But don't forget what their positioning is, it is bait! They are used to attract the Morgan consortium. The number of troops they have attracted is definitely large. Do you think they can still do something under such circumstances?" Lin Zhengyang saw that Wei Tianxing was about to retort, and immediately added, "And don't forget you. What is the order given to them? If nothing can be done, they can leave the goods and run away."
King bomb!
With these words, Mr. Wei suppressed all the words he wanted to refute.
There are two biggest differences between a mercenary group and the army. The first point is discipline. A mercenary group can still rely on the prestige of its leader to command on a small-scale battlefield, but if they are large-scale When they gather on a large scale and actually go to the battlefield, they may be nothing but scattered sand.
The second point is their willpower.
As long as the army receives an order, even if they know they will die, they will rush forward without hesitation, but mercenaries cannot have such a will.
Therefore, when things cannot be done, giving up the mission is almost the first choice for mercenaries. After all, life is more important than anything else.
This is also the nature of mercenaries, and Mr. Wei cannot refute it.
However, although he could not refute it, recalling the information about Lin Xinghai, he still had some hope in his heart, because Lin Xinghai’s rise was so amazing, and the opponent’s strength could not be used normally. Look at it with perspective.
Not long after, they received news that these mercenary groups were back.
The nine mercenary groups were divided into three teams, and two teams had already returned.
The number of people who died in the first team that came back exceeded 100. This was because they lost their transportation items at the critical moment, and the other party checked the items and slowed down the pursuit, and they were able to escape safely.
As for the second team that escaped, it was much worse. They lost more than half of their number, and even a mercenary captain died in the battle.
This is an absolutely devastating blow to the third-level mercenary group, and it is very likely that it will be reduced to a second-level mercenary group in the future.
As for protecting transportation items, let alone protecting them, they lost them immediately.
Such a result left Mr. Wei quite speechless, and he could not blame the other party. After all, this was an order he had given before, and these mercenary groups had completed their mission as bait.
At the same time, he also got a piece of news from the two mercenary groups, that is, the encirclement and suppression team sent by the Morgan Consortium exceeded their strength by more than half.
Furthermore, they usually fight zombies, and this is the first time they have exchanged fire with humans who also hold thermal weapons. This combat experience is incomparable to the armed forces of the Morgan Consortium, so the two sides exchanged fire. , they were pressed and beaten.
After hearing the news, Mr. Wei suddenly felt a little heavier.
Lin Zhengyang, who was also listening to the news, was not in the mood to ridicule his old friend at this time.
Why didn't he hope that these mercenary groups could really bring back important parts, but the other party's performance was worse than he imagined!
