Start with Mechanical Hunter

Although the electromagnetic gun is a standard weapon of the second-level civilization, it has a high probability of being selected in the technology tree of the first-level civilization.

Its technological prerequisites are not high.

In addition, because the electromagnetic artillery shell is solid, its attack range is not large and its power is not outstanding. Its function is generally as an anti-aircraft equipment and anti-armor weapon.

It is a standard niche weapon.

Many weapons from the first-level civilization were abandoned when reaching the second-level civilization.

Only the electromagnetic gun began to shine after the civilization advanced.

There is no other reason. Among the second-level civilizations, various energy defense systems have begun to become popular.

The biggest advantage of the electromagnetic gun is that it can penetrate energy defense.

The biggest difference between the electromagnetic guns of the second-level civilization and the first-level civilization is that not only the barrel has an electromagnetic acceleration device, but also the cannonball itself has electromagnetic effects.

So it generally has two changes, one is a secondary acceleration, which can instantly soar from 10 times the speed of sound to 30 times the speed of sound, completely tearing apart the enemy's defense network through speed, and the other is like this.

The electromagnetic gun shell was deeply embedded in the fuselage. The next moment, a large amount of electromagnetic force was ejected from the shell.

[Your level eight aircraft takes 3200 points of damage and generates 'electromagnetic chaos']

In front of Senior Engineer, at least a quarter of the virtual screen suddenly disappeared.

The second ability of the electromagnetic gun is to cause a large number of electronic components to malfunction.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that it has changed from a niche to a mass among secondary civilizations and has become the standard equipment of the army.

‘The aircraft was attacked. Will it fight back? ’

"Open the hatch."

As the door opened, Gao Gong jumped lightly. Three pairs of wings protruded from both sides of the spine. The biological wings automatically covered the wings. These biological wings completely turned into steel wings. Some flight drawings in Gao Gong's mind , such as [Arthropod Movement System], [Pterosaur Claws], [Heat Dissipation Patterns], etc. automatically deformed, which allowed his speed to finally change from 'gliding' to 'flying', surpassing most helicopters of the first-level civilization.

The wings flickered slightly and disappeared into the air.

"Quick, quick, one more shot!"

Two old men with old-model mechanical arms are stuffing an electromagnetic gun shell into the 'barrel'. The barrel of the electromagnetic gun of the second-level civilization is half open, and the electromagnetic rifling inside can be seen. At first glance, it looks like , like a light fighter with a hollowed out middle, and traces of damage can be seen with the naked eye.

If there is no damage, this secondary electromagnetic gun can actually fire continuously.

"Hey, why is there no power or leakage? What happened to Huang Wen?"

"Boss, you are back."

Huang Wen's electronic voice sounded from the drone's speakers.

The two old men looked back and saw a birdman with six mechanical wings standing on top of the gun barrel, tilting his head and looking at himself.

Soon, the alarm was lifted, and all the managers of Base No. 1 understood that their immediate boss was back.

Among the new managers, there are not many familiar faces among senior engineers. Only Sun Hong and Huang Wen are his old acquaintances. The rest are basically experts and managers hired by Director Du from the Equipment Research Institute. Talent.

At this time, the new management looked at the senior engineer with some uneasiness. After all, it was the first time they met, and no one knew what his personality was like and whether he would be easy to get along with.

Not far away, a group of imperial synthetic workers were muttering and looking at the senior engineer with strange eyes.

In the main seat, the senior engineer looked at the documents and was silent for a long time.

This gesture made these middle managers even more nervous and the atmosphere became stagnant.

However, in fact, the senior engineer was just checking the camp panel.

[Level 1 large building-radiant energy power plant was successfully constructed, camp experience +200,000]

[Level 1 large building-vehicle repair shop was successfully constructed, camp experience +200,000]

[Level 1 large building-small arms factory is successfully constructed, camp experience +200,000]

[First-level large-scale building-primary prosthetic manufacturing factory was successfully constructed, camp experience +300,000]

[First-level large-scale building-UAV production factory was successfully constructed, camp experience +200,000]

[The first-level large-scale building-nutritional cream production plant was successfully constructed, camp experience +200,000]

…

[Large oil pipeline is under construction, camp experience +1000/hour]

[Large power grid is under construction, camp experience +1000/hour]

[A large pure water channel is under construction, camp experience +1000/hour]

…

The mechanical system production at Base No. 1 alone has brought senior engineers close to three million camp experience, and this experience is still increasing rapidly.

Director Du is really fast. If he keeps going like this, he might be able to upgrade his deputy position of 'Factory Worker' to the full level before leaving the desert.

The senior engineer glanced at the option of 'camp characters' again and said: "No. C 53145, D 31134, Geng 12453, Vice President Zhao, Sun Hong, and Huang Wen are staying. The others can go back first."

These six people are all ‘camp characters’ in the camp panel.

Soon, the temporary conference room became empty.

‘Faction characters’ are different from high-level characters. ‘Faction characters’ are irreplaceable to a certain extent.

Now these six people have reached the threshold of 'camp figures'.

No. C 53145: A representative of synthetic workers in the Imperial Age, a master in the field of control systems, able to slightly improve the efficiency of machine systems.

Ding No. 31134: Representative of the synthetic workers in the Empire Age, master of the engine system, slightly improved the performance of mass-produced exoskeletons.

Geng 12453: Representative of the synthetic workers in the Empire era, master of weapon systems, able to improve the performance of 'large weapons'.

The faces of these three old workers are somewhat different, but they feel like they are carved out of the same mold. The three of them are sitting on chairs, with their backs straight, like three old pieces of granite.

The one who just fired was Lao Geng among the three.

The senior engineer looked at Vice President Zhao again. This middle-aged man looked much smoother. When he saw the senior engineer looking over, he quickly showed a flattering smile.

In fact, Vice President Zhao was Director Du's superior. When Director Du went to his original unit to recruit people, this person recommended himself and came over on his own.

By the way, what Director Du really wants to recruit is the dean of the Equipment Research Institute, who is the standard technical expert.

It's a pity that it was not dug out.

‘Another person named Zhao. Xiao Zhao died and an old one came. ’

Senior Engineer muttered in his heart, but he also understood that if Vice President Zhao had not met the standard of ability and Director Du's work style of not recognizing him, it would have been impossible to accept him.

The system panel also proves everything.

Zhao Tong: The deputy director of the Equipment Research Institute, he is proficient in the production process of most weapons and equipment, and can slightly improve production efficiency.

To put it simply, this person is a logistics talent.

The arrival of this person added 150,000 camp experience to Gao Gong.

The senior engineer took the initiative to ask: "Dean Zhao, I heard that you used to work at the Equipment Research Institute and were responsible for weapons research?"

Zhao Tong quickly flattered him and said, "Boss, just call me Lao Zhao. Director Du and I are old friends."

"Is the factory system also responsible for the research and development of weapons? Why have I never heard of it?"

Zhao Tong sighed and said: "Actually, it is research and development, it should be called archeology."

After some explanations from the other party, the senior engineer understood that it turned out that the "research" of the Equipment Research Institute did not actually refer to the development and research of new weapons, but the "archaeological research of equipment" from the pre-civilization era.

The entire equipment research institute is actually a first-level outsourcing project in the mother city.

The mother city's outsourcing projects are divided into five levels. Level 5 is the highest, also known as planet-level tasks. The future world corporate war will compete for a five-level project called the 'Electronic Brain Project'.

As for Level 1, it is the lowest level. It is a task that large companies are not willing to do. They are sent around and sent to the factory.

According to Zhao Tong’s original words.

Their department had no money, no future, and three no power. It was a standard three-no department. If it hadn't been like this, he wouldn't have given up his old face and come to work for his former subordinates.

Gao Gong's heart moved and he looked at Huang Wen, or rather, the robot controlled by Huang Wen.

"Hey, weren't you a machinist in a factory before? If some of your colleagues have the idea of ​​changing jobs, you can definitely introduce them to them."

"No, mechanics are popular talents in the eyes of large enterprises and military contractors. They will definitely not come here." Huang Wen categorically rejected.

The senior engineer curled his lips.

Don't bully a young man into being poor, but be careful about a young man who is close to a rich woman.

"Then what is the purpose of this 'equipment archaeological research'?"

Vice Dean Zhao pondered for a while and said uncertainly: "According to the Dean, if some large-scale scientific and technological projects in the civilized era can be unearthed, they may be able to improve the technological level of the mechanical age."

But judging by his tone, he didn't even believe it.

After all, compared to the civilized age, the technology of the mechanical age has advanced by leaps and bounds. In just a few decades, it has gone through the journey of hundreds of years in the civilized age.

The senior engineer thought for a moment and then looked at Sun Hong, "I heard that you were attacked by an ancient robot?"

Sun Hong nodded, "While passing through the ancient battlefield, we were besieged by a group of low-level robots. We defeated them and found their lair. The old electromagnetic gun was one of the trophies."

"Are there any other trophies?"

"Only this one can be used, the others are standard garbage," Geng 12453 suddenly interrupted.

"Is that so? Let's get ready, Sun Hong." Gao Gong thought for a while and said, "In an hour, we will go to the ancient battlefield to take a look."

"Let's go too," C and D said at the same time.

Gao Gong glanced at the two of them meaningfully and nodded: "Okay, let's go together."

Among the six people present, Vice President Zhao, Sun Hong, and Huang Wen are all in the 'joined' status.

There are only three old guys with 'to be determined' after their names.

To put it simply, these three people have a standard working-class mentality. If they can, they will mix, and if they cannot, they will run away.

Once these three people run away, the hundreds of imperial workers who were finally poached will inevitably scatter.

How can this be done?

The late emperor was imitated before he started his business.

We still need to continue the great cause of the empire.
