too late, organism

[12 o'clock direction! 】

Lao Pan rotated the turret again, and steadily pointed the muzzle of the two hammer siege tanks on the tank like wild horses galloping in the wilderness.

20km behind the northern front, Tyrannian federal control area, Temporary Base No. 0076

The busy temporary base was like a nest of ants. Sitting in the headquarters, Mengsk, who was blowing on the air conditioner and drinking malt whiskey with ice cubes, remembered the bustling streets on Korhal and the failed mission last time. 【Break into the Dragon's Nest】action.

"Major Mengsk, when do you think the general offensive can be launched, the second-line troops are suffering heavy losses now."

A staff officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel walked up to Mengsk who was sitting on a chair, holding a whiskey as if he was on vacation, and asked.

After Mengsk led a group of remnants to break through the defense line of the Morian Federation and returned to the Tyrannian Federal Army-controlled area, the shocked theater command once wanted to transfer Mengsk to the command as a staff officer.

However, Mengsk, who was tired of the war, refused the appointment of the theater command, and stayed in the rebuilt 33rd mixed brigade and continued to serve as the battalion commander.

Even so, the federal army is still willing to follow Mengsk's suggestions on certain issues. For example, in this Christmas offensive, the northern front used a large number of second-line and third-line troops to consume the elite troops of the Morian Union, which is Mengsk's idea.

"Not yet."

Although he doesn't like the top brass of the Tyrannian Federation Army, this doesn't affect Mengsk's enjoyment of air conditioning and extra high-level supplies in the headquarters.

Mengsk stood up and walked to the sand table surrounded by a group of school officers and generals, as if he was the master of the headquarters, he naturally took a baton from a colonel, and began to talk about it in front of the sand table .

"The elite troops of the Morian Consortium, including the 404 Independent Heavy Battalion, have arrived at the front line for some time. Judging from the battle during this period, even if tactical nuclear bombs are used, these heavy troops cannot be suppressed. If not If they lack backup, it may be the same as the previous battles now, after these heavy troops smashed our offensive spearhead, they in turn tore our defense line."

Mengsk pointed his baton at several points on the battle line.

"Now they are tired. If it were me, I would open the gap from here and start to break through in depth."

Mengsk looked at the theater commander with the rank of admiral in the headquarters, with an indescribable smile on his face.

"If those independent heavy battalions don't want to be surrounded, they have to start falling back, and believe me, that's not a pleasant thing."

After finishing speaking, Mengsk raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the glass. After placing the glass with ice cubes on the sand table where the 404th Independent Reloading Battalion was located, he turned and walked out of the headquarters.

Chapter 46 43 Nothing happened on Panta VI

[Group leader, we have already received the negotiator from the Restoration Army, and formal negotiations will start in three days. 】

【Read】

【Group leader, the third IG-class destroyer has entered service, shall we continue to build IG-class destroyers? 】

[I have read, if the alloy is not used up, continue to build ships for me and send them back to the mainland of the empire. 】

In the heavily protected bunker deep in the home planet of the Holy Roman Empire, the group owner is also working hard today.

Every day, the information of each sub-node of the empire is uploaded to the upper node, and this huge amount of information is finally collected into the central processor of the empire where the group owner is located after being screened layer by layer.

Every day, the group leader has to sit on the processor and make countless choices, and these choices will ultimately determine the direction of the empire.

For example, before the Holy Roman Empire acquired the variable tank gun technology from the Koprulu star area, it could overload the scary-looking laser cannon and turn it into a giant TM scary kinetic energy artillery.

One of the long-term debates between the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Physical Sciences is whether kinetic energy or laser light is stronger.

Leaving aside the cat carts and cabbage that can keep their eyes open for the sake of budget, the Warmaster and the Imperial Fists are both staunch members of the kinetic energy faction, while the group leader and Zha Cheng prefer lasers, and only Venetian Governor Cotton is a missile faction Heretics.

For the question of what should be installed on the battleship, the high level of the empire had a long-term debate.

This controversy even spread all the way to the lower levels of the empire. Even the sweeping robot began to reject each other because of the issue of laser and kinetic energy.

Dajiba announced that laser cannons can be kinetic energy cannons, and kinetic energy cannons can also be laser cannons, completely ending the debate about which is better between lasers and kinetic energy.

But not all problems can be solved so smoothly. For example, regarding the infiltration of the Zenor United Group, the Imperial Fist has requested an increase in budget several times so that they can deploy more infiltrators to the colony planets of the Zenor United Group.

But the cotton that even used stones to extract oil said that the empire has no more budget. Whether to use the infiltrator Zinoer United Group to infiltrate, or to cooperate with the Restoration Army to subsidize the Restoration Army, the group leader must do Make a decision.

If the lord chooses to send infiltrators, the Empire must build new civilian manufacturing plants for trade with the Zenor Combine, so that the infiltrators can be delivered to the Zenor homes hidden in consumer goods.

If the group owner chooses to fund the Restoration Army, then these resources will be put into the military factory to develop and manufacture equipment that can be used by the Zenors. Of course, some of the infiltrators will also be carried in these equipment.

Of course, in addition to this serious problem that seems to open up different event chains, occasionally there will be new child nodes because they do not know the information weight, and ask the group owner to unblock it because it is blocked by changing the oil. toilet.

The group leader is generally happy about this kind of problem, and assigns a task for the sub-node that sends out this kind of information to be responsible for cleaning and dredging all the toilets in the block within one year.

Let me flush the toilet for you, you think I am a general of the Volunteer Army or an old popsicle. Jpg

Although some problems will make the group owner feel more embarrassed, for example, a certain big tech who does not want to be named, wearing the vest of the SCP Foundation, making troubles in the Koprulu sector, opened SCP-500 clinics all over Yumo Every single colonized planet in Jan.

Now one-thousandth of Umoyan's population has become loyal citizens of the empire, and senior officers at the general level have "voluntarily" joined the empire in the fighting Tyrann Federation and the Morian Federation.

When this form was in good shape, the crazy doctors of the Academy of Social Sciences came up with a mathematical model of forced assimilation from nowhere. Ba is not as cowardly as he is now. If he takes the initiative to assimilate, it only takes three months to assimilate the entire Koprulu sector.

At this time, the group owner felt as if he was back in front of the computer, watching his empire encounter a chain of events.

The loyal Dajiba has initially assimilated that distant star area, and according to the calculations of the mad doctors of the empire, once the full assimilation starts, that distant star area will be incorporated into the empire's territory within three months.

[Send all warships!Let Dajiba incorporate it into the empire's territory. 】

[We should adopt a more secure approach and keep the big tech secret. 】

Like this kind of embarrassing question, the group leader will choose to give up after hesitating again and again.

All other issues had to make way for Imperial vengeance before the fleet could be dispatched to the Zenor homeworld.

In the case of insufficient strength, the result of wanting everything will only be nothing.

The group owner clearly understands and knows this, so even though he is read [-] times by the shame-conscious repeater every day.

"Have you forgotten the shame of the Solomon Pact?"

But the group owner has always maintained restraint. He knows that an empire must of course rely on self-struggle, but it must also consider the process of history.

However, although he has always maintained restraint, the group leader is still a little curious about what happened on Panta VI. It has been a long time since a reorganized army division was sent to escort the scientific expedition team to Panta VI.

But so far no report on the results of the investigation has been received, and the daily report is that nothing happened on Panta VI.

The group leader scratched his shiny crystal head, and decided to call the scumbag who didn't know what he was doing all day long to ask what the Academy of Social Sciences was doing on Panta VI, and why there was no news at all.

The maintenance cost of sending the army to a different planet is very expensive. If there is nothing to do, hurry up and bring it back. Wouldn’t it be good to save the money to build two more space torpedoes for the navy?

Panta VI, Research Station of the Holy Roman Empire/Temporary Base of the [-]th Army Division

It has been a while since the Seventh Division has been stationed on this planet. After confirming that the camp of the previous scientific expedition team had completely disappeared without a trace, the scientific expedition team re-sent by the Seventh Division and the Academy of Social Sciences chose to conduct an investigation before the distance. The base was re-established about twenty kilometers from the station.

Since the Academy of Engineering reverse engineered a lot of technology in the Koprulu sector and made improvements on the basis of the original version, if the airdrop base used by the [-]th Division is thrown into Koprulu, even the most experienced marines will not be able to recognize it. These things have been modified by the technical masters of the engineering academy, things that even its mother doesn't know.

In his previous life, he was engraved with a lack of firepower phobia in his DNA, and was forced to sign an unequal treaty by the Zenoer Federation after time travel.

Although the navy is very eccentric in terms of funding, the army's equipment has still worked hard.

For example, the mobile battalion learned (copied) from the Koprulu star area. The role of this kind of thing in Koprulu is only to make the marines not look like some unnamed marines after being airdropped on the surface of the planet. Like the team members, they sleep in the field or under the vehicle.

After thinking about it for a while, the technicians from the engineering school felt that such a large reactor, which could power the engines and fly the barracks, was just used to heat hot water and cool air for the marines, which was too wasteful.

So a triple 150mm mass projector turret was installed on the top of the barracks. Just as the navy is decommissioning a large number of such artillery, it is better to install it on the barracks to provide firepower for the marines. support.

After the turret was installed, it was found that the reactor energy was still rich, and the tech masters said that corruption and waste are the biggest crimes.

Failure to utilize every ounce of energy in the reactor is a dereliction of duty on the part of the designers.

So four six-linked C-14 automatic turrets equipped with improved C-14 machine guns were placed on the four corners of the barracks, and another 150mm triple-linked turret was installed on top of the Koprulu star area air defense turret. After the anti-cloaking device on.

The tech masters who felt that this new barracks was strong enough, big and popular, temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to build firepower systems on the barracks to drain the power of the reactor.

But thinking that this thing is most likely to be deployed on the front line, although it may be a bit embarrassing to install a shield on it, at least the armor must be made stronger, so these mobile battalions are equipped with the same type of armor as the frigate .

When the veterans from Coplu in Fist of the Empire saw this kind of barracks of the Holy Roman Empire, they all said that the Holy Roman Empire was the most technologically advanced in the galaxy.

When I moved in and saw the familiar dormitory, which was called safe and comfortable in the recruitment brochures, in fact, the air-conditioning temperature only had two options of incineration and freezing. After flushing the toilet next door, you can hear the roar of the water in the dormitory, and tears flowed. The expression on the face is still the familiar smell.

Naturally, the technical masters will not let go of the command center that can also fly around with the barracks. After arranging the turret of the ancestral triple 150mm mass projector, the technical masters maintained their restraint.

Instead of installing a few six-linked C-14 fully automatic turrets like the barracks, the command center was equipped with frigate-level shields to ensure the safety of the command center.

With these mobile facilities armed to the teeth, in addition to the deep tunnels left by the previous scientific expedition team, the Seventh Division has deployed a turret with 24-hour power on and scanners to protect it almost every five kilometers. Outside the outpost with the barracks as the core.

Several outposts were also set up around the base, and the communications unit of the Seventh Division would regularly communicate with those outposts every hour or two to ensure that no accidents occurred.

The "Whiskey" outpost [-] kilometers away from the Seventh Division's temporary base is such an early warning outpost.

In addition to deploying a command center here to maintain contact with the division headquarters, the Seventh Division also deployed two mobile battalions here.

Two companies of marines are responsible for stationing here. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, at least half of them are veterans of the Koprulu sector.

According to the division headquarters of the Seventh Division, such a unit, with its improved command center and mobile battalion, could at least last until the division headquarters dispatched reinforcements, even if the troops of the 404th Heavy Armored Battalion on the opposite side were ready to ride.

But now there is no one in the dilapidated "Whiskey" outpost, only the upper half of the body wearing CMC-300 power armor, which has been drained of blood, is leaning on the chair in front of the communication platform of the command center, with a strange look in his eyes. Red light of the dead.

Whenever the division headquarters' communication rings, the long-dead soldier will raise his hand wrapped in power armor, withered like a dead branch, and press the communication button, reporting to the division headquarters that "everything is normal at the whiskey outpost."

The division headquarters of the Seventh Division, which found no abnormalities, would report to the empire later that no abnormalities were found.

So today, nothing happened on Panta VI.

Chapter 47 44 Pioneers have no secrets

After the mysterious disappearance of a scientific expedition team on Panta VI, the high-level officials of the empire, including the group leader, realized that maybe the pioneers still left something in the corners of this galaxy.

Although except for the group leader, almost no one remembers what the pioneers who occupied the body of the tax prosecutor told them, vaguely everyone except Mao Che and the group leader only remembers that the pioneers should no longer exist in this universe.

Only the group owner remembers not to blindly sign the contract with JB, and when encountering difficult hurdles, they can sign a contract with the pioneers, but as a price they need to hang Yuanshen as a street lamp.

And the cat car, the cat car doesn't know anything.

Out of a strange mentality, the group leader and Cotton did not lower the priority of those investigating the pioneer relics.

So the lunatic doctors of the Academy of Social Sciences, who were flattered by the timely and full allocation of funds without reducing the budget, frantically planed out planets, large or small, like huskies who have been suffocating in the kennel for an autumn pit.

Although most of the potholes have done nothing except destroy the local environment and leave an unsolved mystery for the indigenous civilization that may emerge in a few years.

But occasionally, these crazy doctors can still unearth some rare artifacts from the soil.

The obscure technology and some almost forgotten legends left by these pioneer civilizations, whether it is a mad doctor of the Holy Roman Empire or a technical kid, can only decipher one of them.

The cautious group leader did not blindly let the mad doctors and technical boys reverse the technology of the pioneers, or try to use these rare cultural relics to strengthen military technology.

Instead, the Pioneer History Research Project Team, which the Academy of Social Sciences was about to disband, was reassembled and took over the samples of Pioneer cultural relics unearthed by the scientific expedition team from various planets.

Relying on these samples, these mad doctors, accustomed to puzzle with vague clues, began to try to recover the history of the pioneers.

At least this time, the data recovered by these crazy doctors did not suddenly disappear.

Relying on these precious and rare cultural relics, the mad doctors deduced that the pioneer was a primate creature with the appearance and body similar to an elf, and it was also an omnivorous creature.

Even relying on the records from these rare cultural relics, a strange psionic affinity substance was found, and the pioneers called this substance [Zero].

This aerosol substance found in alien particles can greatly increase psionic energy.

In particular, this kind of strange substance is produced in large quantities on the star ring. Although it is temporarily not available for use, the Zelo distilled in the laboratory is stored except for a part, and the rest is put into various fields. kind of experiment.

See if it can improve the mechanical properties of the material like the special crystals in the Koprulu sector.

This thought-like behavior failed miserably. Instead of improving the mechanical properties of the material, the substance actually caused the material's mechanical properties to be greatly reduced.

On the contrary, [Prophet] after evil inhaled this substance into his body, his spiritual power reached level eleven in one breath.

That is to say, after the Prophet's psychic level reached level eleven, the technical boys of the Academy of Engineering finally found a way to control the Pioneer battleship.

When [Prophet] felt that his spiritual power had increased a lot, there should be no risk of being burned into candles by the spiritual power poured into his body like last time.

It’s just that after boarding the pioneer battleship, [Prophet] was like boarding an ordinary starship, and was not infused with spiritual energy again. With the help of [Prophet], the technical boys of the Engineering Academy found Changed the control method of the pioneer battleship.

These warships would communicate with the psionic user, and then, like the Holy Roman Empire with data cables connected to the main engine of the warship, the ship would actively respond to the crew's commands.

After thinking about it for a while, the tech boy and the crazy doctors transformed the clones of the Prophet they had produced into wetware computers and put them in a pioneer destroyer.

Although the psychic strength of these clones is less than level 7, the wetware computer made of those clones has successfully moved the pioneer battleships, although these battleships cannot be used to beat the Zinor United Group for the time being fleet.
