Chapter 178, draining the technology card prize pool
"...Our unit completed the planned combat plan four days ago and annihilated more than 80,000 rebels. Among them, more than 9,000 were killed and more than 70,000 were captured."
"Our army suffered 415 casualties, including 164 killed in action."
"Currently, our Central Group Army is continuing to advance in the southwest direction according to the established plan. The goal is to completely disarm the 77 known survivor settlements in this direction and liberate a population of two million in the central province. This goal is optimistically expected, It can be done within a month.”
"Don't worry, Governor, we will complete the mission!"
Gu Hang glanced at the report sent back by Commander Yan, and then put it aside.
This result did not surprise him, so there was no fluctuation in his heart.
At most, it is just a comparison with the battle report interface generated by the system.
Gu Hang earned 774 gift points from this war, which was quite good. He earned back the cost of training the seventy political commissars.
However, the number of kills and prisoners submitted by Yan Fangxu was slightly different from the system battle report, but not significantly.
This is a statistical error and is normal.
The numbers collected by the system come from metaphysics and are plug-ins; the report submitted by Yan Fangxu is for counting the number of people by himself.
It's easy to say that the prisoners can be killed, but it's too difficult to determine the kill, especially since most of the enemy casualties were actually killed by shelling. They were buried by the collapsed fortifications and blown to pieces. How can we confirm how many people are in that piece of rotten flesh?
Almost done.
Anyway, the five divisions organized into the so-called Central Group Army only have a total of about 38,000 people. They seem to be dealing with 2.5 times the number of enemies, but in fact, there is a huge gap in training, experience, and equipment between the two sides.
This is a battle that cannot be lost, unless Yan Fangxu is too stupid. It is normal to have such a record.
From the current point of view, Commander Yan is certainly not stupid, but is actually doing a pretty good job.
After more than 80,000 people were wiped out, the rebel forces in the central province were like grasshoppers after autumn and could not survive for a few days.
To put it bluntly, they used to be scattered settlements, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand to a dozen or two hundred thousand. Their productivity was low, they were extremely poor, and they could barely survive on food. That is to say, the special environment in the wasteland allows every household to have some weapons, so that when they feel threatened, they can raise an 'army' to resist.
But after this wave of resistance was crushed, it was impossible to raise a second team due to the characteristics of their so-called allies.
They said it was an anti-alliance, but in fact, they were a loose alliance; the alliance was said to be an alliance, but after Gu Hang came to power, he quickly transformed it into a highly centralized political system.
The mobilization capabilities between the two are not the same concept.
What's more, losing 80,000 young adults is equivalent to losing 4% of the total population for the rebel forces in the central province with a total population of 2 million. How can a consortium that hastily come together withstand such an impact?
Before, if the alliance didn't use any force, more than 10,000 people could block the 80,000 people from moving; now, with a little more force, the 80,000 people would be gone in four days.
Catching 80,000 pigs is probably only about this efficient.
Aren’t the leaders and people in the settlements shocked?
They were probably scared to death.
Gu Hang judged that Yan Fangxu's actions would not be hindered too much in the future. I'm afraid that if we get to a city, that city will raise the white flag and surrender.
Even if those guys want to continue to resist, their residents may not agree; even if the residents agree, it will probably be difficult for them to gather tens of thousands more guns.
However, although the follow-up operations should go smoothly and the whole war will not be difficult, Gu Hang still decided that after Yan Fangxu comes back from this battle, as long as nothing happens, he will be promoted to brigadier general. .
The commander of a group army of the alliance is just a colonel. That is too outrageous.
In less than half a year, Yan Fangxu was promoted from a small naval captain to the rank of brigadier general, the same rank as Captain Ye Lixia who sent him to the frontier.
This means, tsk tsk.
I don’t know what Ye Lixia will think after seeing it.
Although, the two are very different. A serious first-class Commodore of the Imperial Navy is far from the same thing as a Commodore of the Planetary Defense Force of a small planet. But... if the gold content is not enough, it will not return. The rank of the Planetary Defense Force is also recognized by the empire. When Yelicia sees it, she will pinch her nose and call her Brigadier General.
Quite interesting.
After withdrawing his thoughts, there was another thing about this war that required Gu Hang's attention: they captured 70,000 prisoners.
These prisoners are on their way to be escorted over.
In order to accommodate this group of people, Fuxing City's construction team will build a large prisoner of war camp near the recruit training base.
These prisoners of war cannot be treated in the same way as the plunderers who were captured before.
The vast majority of them were not looters and had not committed serious crimes. Being a rebel is what the leader, the leader of each settlement, does. Whether they actively signed up, were mobilized, or even were captured, they were all poor people and civilians in the past.
When you were an enemy, there was nothing to say; now, when you were a prisoner, there was no need to be too harsh.
They are all Gu Hang's people, 70,000 young and strong, and they are all precious labor force.
Gu Hang sent an order to Thaddeus, asking the military and political officer to make relevant work plans and complete them before the prisoners of war arrived. The overall goal is to digest this population, whether it is to extract some of them and transform them into recruits, or to ensure that there are no problems, break them up and enter the factory as civilians.
Now that he has people under him, Gu Hang won't do everything himself. He only needs to review how his people are doing.
Thaddeus did come up with a corresponding plan the next day.
The general approach is that all prisoners of war will be assigned corresponding jobs in Fuxing City for a period of one month as punishment.
They will be assigned to construction sites, to cargo sorting and transportation centers, to factories... In short, they can be assigned to any place where labor is needed. In this regard, Thaddeus will communicate with the people in the production department accordingly.
Enjoy the eight-hour working day, you will not be abused, beaten or scolded, and you will enjoy the same working conditions as normal workers. There will be no shortage of labor protection supplies, food rations, and medical protection that should be issued.
But there is no reward and no personal freedom.
After get off work, they must all return to the prisoner-of-war camp, and then receive a four-hour ideological education class from military political commissars, instructors, instructors, and part-time lecturers from Zhongsi College. They must make them realize that their past actions were mistakes. ; their past sufferings were caused by those in power in the original settlements; the Governor is here to unite all the Raging Owls; the Alliance will not do anything to them, on the contrary, as long as they reform well, the future life will be beautiful and bright of.
This is not just empty talk, but is supported by real institutional advantages.
These prisoners of war would work with the residents of Fuxing City during the day, whether in factories or construction sites. They will know what kind of life the residents of Fuxing City live. With a stable rank, you have no worries about food and clothing, and an extra salary, so you can buy goods to improve your living standard. If you work for a long time or have outstanding work performance, your rank will be improved. This is a tangible upward path.
There is hope and hope in life.
The better days are yet to come! After receiving social education during the day and ideological education at night, after a month of being a prisoner of war, these poor people who were recruited from various settlements must have some changes.
At that time, based on their performance in the prisoner-of-war camp this month, they will be assigned ranks and integrated into the city, which should be smoother.
……
After Gu Hang read Thaddeus' plan, he approved it with a wave of his hand without any modifications.
After the approved document, he also appended a sentence asking Thaddeus to summarize the prisoner management experience this time to use it as a common method for similar things in the future.
This matter is over for him, and he will wait and see the results later.
As for what he wants to do... he still has gift points on hand that he hasn't spent yet.
After returning to the surface, he spent 500 points to train 50,000 new soldiers, 1,000 points to train Zhongsi Academy, and 700 points to train political commissars. Including the 774 points he got at the end of the battle, he still had a total of 3,232 gift points left in his hand. .
Still a lot.
After thinking about it, Gu Hang decided to draw the technology card.
Technology is the primary productive force. The reason why his territory is able to support a small army of less than 100,000 people with a population of more than two million and is well-equipped is because of Gu Hang's charisma?
No matter how charming you are, can you conjure armored vehicles, tanks, or food?
To put it bluntly, the role of the industrial base in Weixing City is extremely important. And its development depends entirely on the production line directly transformed from the black box provided by the technological system.
As for drawing technology cards, according to the underworld mechanism of the system, the card pool of each level is essentially limited and will be drained, so you need to be strategic when drawing cards.
Currently, the card pool that Gu Hang can draw has three levels: 10/100/1000.
At 10 yuan, the probability of basic level is 10%, and the probability of air force is 90%. I expect to get the basic level for 100 yuan, and the price/performance ratio is actually not bad.
100 levels, basic level 50%, advanced level 10%. It is expected to invest 1,000 points to get an advanced level, 200 points for a basic level, and the second estimate is expected to be 500 points for a basic level. The price-performance ratio is crotch-lifting. .
Level 1000, the probability of reaching the basic level is 40%, the probability of advancing to the next level is 30%, and the probability of reaching the higher elite level is 30%. This is a card pool that has never been drawn before. The price-performance ratio is very high. If you invest a thousand points, you can definitely get a technology. Drawing to the basic level is a bit of a loss, but the probability of advancing to the elite level is not low. If you get it, you will make money!
Gu Hang was a little itchy, but he decided to spend a hundred points of gifts first, choose a 10-dollar slot, and try his luck.
Good luck really came, and I got 80 yuan.
[Basic-level technology: LR5 light energy gun family]
[The Imperial Mechanicus undertakes the order requirements of the Astra Militarum and develops a new generation of light energy rifles. Different accessories and simple modifications can be used to form firearms with different functions such as continuous-fire rapid-fire laser guns, laser rifles, energy-storage rifles, and laser pistols. 】
nice one!
The LR series laser gun is also the basic weapon configuration of the Astra Militarum. But unlike the G9, which also has basic weapon configuration, the LR is much higher-end and more expensive.
If the G-series kinetic energy rifles are distributed to five-dollar brothers to recruit troops to fill in the lines, then the troops that are distributed with LR5 laser guns on a large scale can be regarded as the main elite of the Astra Militarum.
Apart from anything else, the damage of this thing is almost the same as that of the HS series electromagnetic rifle, except that the electromagnetic rifle fires metal spikes, while the laser gun is a pure energy weapon. But no matter which one it is, when killing greenskins, it will never happen like the G series rifles, where it takes dozens of rounds to kill a greenskin.
If you hit an ordinary green boy without a helmet, you can get one shot at a time; if you hit the torso, you can get it done with five or six shots.
Generally speaking, this is a weapon that improves the firepower of light infantry. Even after sufficient deployment, the power of basic firearms increases significantly, which is enough to bring about a qualitative change in the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
Gu Hang was feeling a little regretful just now. It would have been better if he had not taken out the G9 and replaced it with the LR5.
In this way, you can get it right in one step. Who uses G9 when you have LR5?
However, when he thought about it later, he didn't think so anymore.
At that time, it was better to take out the G9.
All good things have one problem: they are expensive.
The Imperial Taxation Department will collect LR5 individual soldier suits at the rate of 4 tax coins per set. You know, the tax department only gives 5 tax coins for a person to leave.
I don’t know whether to say that LR5 is too expensive, or that in the eyes of the tax department, human life is too worthless.
As for the price of G9... let’s get one tax coin for five sets. A set of individual equipment with the LR5 laser gun as the core, the manufacturing cost is 20 times that of the G series kinetic energy rifle.
If the LR5 had been taken out directly at that time, Gu Hang's explosive plan would have been a big problem, and he would not have been able to produce so many guns.
Moreover, even now, LR5 has a problem: the gun can be manufactured, but the high-energy battery used as ‘ammunition’ does not have the conditions to be manufactured...
The finished black box is directly generated with a battery, but it is not included in the production line.
This is a headache. This is because the industrial system relies entirely on black boxes. As a result, certain technologies have been extracted, but they are unable to implement them.
However, this problem is not unsolvable.
Gu Hang also has a ‘former genius’ mechanic, Ms. Wu Jiarong.
This machinist, whose name is very similar to his cousin, has really achieved some results recently: she has conquered the production line process of synthetic starch; at the same time, she has also developed a production plan for energy storage batteries.
There is a performance gap between this thing and the high-energy-concentrated battery used by the Astral Military, but it is not impossible to use. It's just that the number of bullets in a magazine has been reduced from eighty to fifteen. And if you use high-power charging to shoot, one shot can destroy a fully charged battery.
But again, let’s settle the question of presence or absence first, okay? We’ll talk about it later.
Maybe, you can get high-energy battery manufacturing technology later?
However, although it is a very happy thing to draw the LR5 laser gun family, it does not come without a price.
Not only was the 80-point gift, but more importantly, the 10-dollar novice prize pool was completely drained.
After this time, the probability of winning the 10-point gift is only 1%. The expectation is that a thousand points will produce a basic-level technology, so a fool will continue to draw.
Then, Gu Hang began to set his goal on the 1000th gear.
He has high expectations for this.
There is a high probability that you will get a good item that is advanced or elite level, but if you draw a basic level item, you will lose a lot of money.
"I hope you have better luck!"
