Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

What does the Federation need? The Federation wants everything!

The number of deaths announced in the first landing battle was 100,000, but in fact more than 300,000 were killed.

If it weren't for the highly developed medical technology of the Federation, as long as they come back alive, there is a high probability that they can be saved. This number may be multiplied several times—as for those caught by bugs? It is basically impossible to have prisoners, so disappearance is also regarded as a death in battle under normal circumstances.

Even so, the Federation is still hesitant about some expensive equipment. For example, after Annette's Cherry Military Industry successfully received an order for rifles, it also mentioned equipping Federation soldiers with more advanced exoskeleton power armor to ensure that soldiers have Stronger combat effectiveness, but also easier to survive in the war.

But the Federation is hesitant about the new type of exoskeleton armor—it’s not questioning that Cherry Military Industry can’t produce a new type of exoskeleton, but that this kind of elite equipment must cost a lot. Is this kind of equipment really suitable for the entire army?

"Get the exoskeleton armor slowly. Even if the Federation decides to order it, it will be ordered in small batches to form a small-scale elite army. As for the generalization of the entire army, it is unrealistic for the time being."

Ethan waved her hand. Annette might ignore these things—after all, she is not a real businessman or politician, but a scientist. Her first thought is always to worry about not selling good things. As for the price, she I don't think it should be a hindrance.

But in fact, the price determines many things in many cases.

After all, the powerful U.S. military, which claims to be piled up with money and advanced equipment, often does jaw-dropping things in equipment procurement.

For example, when the military ordered a Beretta pistol, the P226 that was bid for at that time was actually better, but it was abandoned because of the price factor. At the same time, many subsequent actions were to save money, which led to various strange problems in the new pistols that were installed. The soldiers complained frantically.

But in elite units like the SEALs, they will purchase P226, so the equipment to be distributed to the entire army must be the one with the lowest price under the premise of ensuring a certain quality.

Annette sighed speechlessly, she also realizes this now, the exoskeleton armor of Cherry Military Industry has not been approved, but the new armor produced by another large group has received the second batch of large orders again - the military thinks they The equipment provided already met the existing needs, so additional orders were made to replenish more and more soldiers.

"However, we still need to 'continuously develop' this kind of elite equipment, because this battle cannot end in a short time. After all, the most terrifying thing about Zerg is the almost endless number."

In the early days, humans were not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Although every battle was overwhelming with insects, when the human army was mobilized, it was also densely packed.

Only when the war reaches a certain level and the number of human deaths continues to increase, and every soldier is very precious, the Federation will start to pursue elite soldiers-at that time, the cost of training and equipment for each soldier will double How to preserve the lives of these elites has become an important issue.

"At that point, exoskeleton armor will become standard equipment."

Instead of thinking about that, think about making a weapon that works in tandem with infantry.

Humans used to have various tanks in ground warfare, but this time the war was fought on an alien planet, and many tanks on Earth could not adapt to various complex environments. This is why all human ground troops are now infantry. a reason.

"Making chariots?"

"The chariot is an option, but I thought of another piece of equipment, which is very suitable for cooperating with infantry."

What Ethan thought of was the Iron Overlord, a small mech derived from Tony's Iron Armor, which is actually an excellent weapon of war.

The size of the Iron Overlord is not too big but not too small. It can carry enough supporting weapons to provide a considerable degree of fire support for infantry groups.

At the same time, its armor is thick enough and has a certain defensive power. It can be used as a bunker for infantry when necessary.

The weapons carried on the Iron King can strike both ground and air at the same time, and its structure can adapt to most terrains.

It can be said that the Iron Overlord is a real weapon of war-compared to Tony's steel armor, the Iron Overlord was designed to be thrown into the battlefield from the beginning of its design.

As for motivation? This is not a problem for the Starship Troopers world-even without Ethan's participation, the energy technology of the Starship Troopers world is enough to ensure that they can develop similar weapons and equipment by themselves.

In the follow-up plot, human mechs and chariots gradually increased, but because there was no reference for these equipment in the early stage, the first few generations of equipment had various flaws, and they were gradually improved in actual battles.

Relatively speaking, Ethan's advantage is that they have ready-made technology in their hands and know what problems there are, so they can make targeted improvements in advance.

You can also copy the technology of other worlds. Anyway, no one cares about what is inside these mechanical equipment, as long as it can achieve the original expected effect.

For example, some human equipment in StarCraft, they can try to imitate.

"After getting the order for the rifle, we are now working hard to produce the rifle, and at the same time trying to manufacture exoskeleton armor, a medium-sized mecha that can provide fire support for infantry, and an all-terrain multi-purpose infantry vehicle?"

The all-terrain vehicle is a good project. As long as a basic framework can be worked out, this thing can be improved into various equipment such as combat, command, and transportation, and the demand is also huge.

However, with this equipment, it may be difficult for Cherry Military Industry to compete with those big companies.

"Let's start with rifles and armor. Mechas can also be sold by the way. Sell as many as you can. The most important thing is to take advantage of the trend to get various energy technologies in this world."

Starship Troopers has a very high level of technology. Annette has been collecting all kinds of technical information as much as possible during this period. For example, some things that are impossible to buy from the market and they urgently need them here will let Ada do it. Come - even if there are various patent protections, Ethan and the others won't care.

Just use it out of this world! No matter how tightly protected the patent law of your Starship Troopers is, it can't control other universes!

While several people were talking, Mordred and Galahad, who had played outside for a day, also came back.

The two of them knew that Ethan was coming and ran over directly.

Because he is at the age of growing his body, and at the age when he is most receptive to new things, Mordred's changes are obvious.

Although there is no increase in height, but the appearance has grown a lot, coupled with the fact that he is "well-informed", and his temperament has also changed - it has become more wild.

She wore a pair of tattered jeans with a few rips, a casual vest on her upper body, and a random ponytail on her blond hair. When she saw Ethan, she said happily that this world is really fun...

Galahad shook his head helplessly. Ever since Mordred came to this world, he was like a mad dog untied from its rope. When it came to testing new weapons and killing bugs, he became more excited than anyone else. .

She said more than once that when she reached the federal standard, she would go directly to the army - as for mixed baths and the like, Mordred didn't care about such things at all.

But Galahad knew that the federal army had reached a consensus long ago: this lunatic would never be recruited into the army!

"We must keep this world, so that I can come and chop bugs when I'm in a bad mood."

It's fun to use the new rifle to keep chug, but Mordred prefers to use cold weapons to chop bugs into pieces. She likes the way the soldiers look at her-that kind of disbelief makes her very successful. sense.

"Basically, the world will be long-term bound."

In the past, there were not many worlds that Ethan could bind for a long time. At that time, the coordinates were recorded more with the time-space pointer in his hand, and anchor points were left in a certain world, and the number of worlds that could leave time-space anchor points was limited, so he has been using this function very cautiously.

But now this function is meaningless. With the improvement of his strength, even if there is no record of the time-space pointer, he can still find the specific coordinates of the world he has been to very accurately.

According to this situation, if he continues to improve his strength, he can completely stop borrowing the ability of the time-space pointer and rely on his own magic to complete the plane travel.

But the situation this time made him think again: should we make the magic circle (or teleportation device) that allows everyone to pass through independently in advance?

If you need to frequently travel to a specific world, even if you can't choose the world you want to go to at will, a specific world channel like Starship Troopers should still be established.

Several people chatted about some things again, at this time Ethan suddenly remembered a person.

"By the way, where's Nebula?"

He even forgot that there was an alien with a completely different appearance in his team, and he ignored it when he sent it over. Maybe he couldn't move freely in this world with the appearance of Nebula, right?

"Thank you so much for remembering me!"

Over 1.8 meters tall, a blond-haired Caucasian woman walked in suddenly.

Ethan turned his head and glanced, and immediately recognized that this was Nebula's "original appearance" without all kinds of makeup. With the familiar voice, this was obviously Nebula.

"It seems that you have enough means to deal with this kind of scene."

Thinking about it, Nebula has wandered in the universe for so many years, and occasionally needs to hide his appearance and racial characteristics. It is not difficult to understand this method-Ningyun has installed a lot of equipment on his body, which can create "projections" to cover up his reality appearance.

However, Nebula's physique is too special, and she can't do many things in this world, so she, like Mordred, is a weapon experimenter of Cherry Military Industry.
