Chapter 1460: Weapon Selection, Many Concerns!

Musk's open-mindedness and optimism are completely opposite to the performance of ordinary people in the general environment.

When ordinary people are worried about whether the alien army will attack, he still maintains the most simple belief.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Too much worry will affect your work efficiency.

Su Mo was speechless for a moment. Musk's approach was exactly the same as his.

Although the war on the front line may have entered the most tense contact period, he also has no intention of participating in it.

Brushing more special survival points to prepare for the first gambling battle of gods is his job.

The more chaotic the external environment is, the more you can't lose your composure.

"Are you going to mass-produce this set of equipment and push it to the front-line army for equipment?" Su Mo thought about it. Musk must have considered that the war has come because he was able to develop a prototype so quickly.

If this kind of exoskeleton armor can be equipped on a large scale for the front-line army, the winning rate of humans against aliens will definitely increase by a few percentage points.

In a large-scale ethnic war, these few percentage points may mean the lives of millions or tens of millions of people.

"I have this idea, but I have to test the effect." Musk said in a low voice.

"The price of this set of equipment is not cheap. Even if it is equipped with 100,000 people, it is an astronomical figure. Moreover, it is troublesome to repair and replace it in the future. It is difficult to organize a corresponding mechanized maintenance team."

"But fortunately, in the current economic environment, everything is war-oriented, and winning two gambling fights is the first priority. Economic benefits, infrastructure, and return rates don't need to be considered. Even if these equipments have to empty the material inventory of the territory, ordinary people will definitely understand it."

"It's difficult." Su Mo smiled, "This set of equipment looks good, but you should know what the actual effect is. It's too stupid. At least three versions need to be optimized before it can be barely put into actual combat. The materials also need a comprehensive innovation breakthrough."

If you want to build a mechanized force, the most challenging thing is logistics capabilities.

The more sophisticated the machinery, the more likely it is to break down in a fierce exchange of fire. If the logistics and maintenance team cannot keep up in time, the expensive equipment may be abandoned on the front line before it can be used.

After many times, users no longer believe in the reliability of the equipment and will naturally develop a rejection mentality.

Even the colleges, foundations, and enterprises of Blue Star have not formed a large-scale mechanized team.

Even the top combat power with armor is rare.

"In addition, you also need to develop a set of automatic maintenance equipment. Only simple manual operation and positioning are required to identify the problem and then repair it in a targeted manner." Su Mo continued. In fact, these technologies have been developed in Tianyuan Territory for a long time and have achieved certain results.

If Musk really has the determination and ability to promote the Golden Eagle to form a mechanized force, he doesn't mind trading the technology.

"You make it sound simple. How can this technology be so easy to develop?" Musk rolled his eyes. It was a miracle that he could make this prototype in such a short time.

It is not that easy to develop related equipment from scratch.

"Come in and talk, but I have to remind you... The data I sent you last time was free, but this time you want to bring this guy to get new information and data from me, you have to pay."

"This is easy, just ask, I can give you anything."

Musk took off his armor generously and handed it to Thomas to take aside for safekeeping.

The two entered the stone house one after the other.

Tesla Territory and Boulder Territory reached an agreement on assistance, and the hospitality conditions were much better this time. Su Mo personally twisted a handful of tea leaves into the teapot and poured two cups of tea.

"Let's talk about the situation on the front line first. How is the progress of the aliens in the east?"

"The progress is very fast." Without outsiders around him, Musk frowned.

"This time, the aliens' actions are very large, covering almost the entire eastern plate. Our human territories in the east have been under siege by aliens for more than ten days. Now nine territories have been breached, and the number of casualties is close to four million..."

"But this is not the most troublesome thing."

He paused, looked at Su Mo who was in deep thought, and continued.

"Do you know that there are spies among our humans, who have surrendered to the aliens, not only selling intelligence to them, but also pretending to deceive the trust of other territories, and then creating opportunities for the aliens to attack."

It's expected.

Su Mo took a deep breath. Whether it is the future ruins or the reality, this kind of thing is still happening.

There will always be a group of humans who can't stand the temptation, betray their tribe, and surrender to the aliens for glory.

"After the trust crisis is established, everyone in the major territories will be in danger, and the aliens will be able to better isolate the attack. The big trouble will soon spread to our southern plate, at most two months..."

"Does the Golden Giant Eagle plan to send people to the front line to block it?" Su Mo couldn't help asking.

Although it was a bit sensitive and strange to ask such a question given his current status, sometimes it was necessary to cross the line so obviously to quickly bring the two closer.

As expected, Musk looked at him strangely, but still answered:

"This is inevitable. We cannot allow the aliens to enter the southern plate unimpeded. At least we must not let them cause damage before the end of the autumn harvest. After that, it will be winter. As long as we can persist until winter, we will have at least three months. buffer period.”

"Now the major federal territories are organizing troops to assemble and go to the front line to fight the foreign races. I can't tell you the specific number and scale due to confidentiality reasons, but it will definitely not be less than seven figures. In addition, the Northern Alliance and Dragon The flag will also send troops accordingly to suppress the aliens in the eastern sector."

Seven digits, that’s one million people.

It is indeed the territory of the Yusan family. Just a simple sniper attack can produce such a terrifying scale.

If all three territories can produce this number of troops, the alien attack will definitely be stopped for a while.

As long as they can survive until winter comes, the harsh climatic conditions can at least stop the war for a while and persist until the first gambling battle begins.

"Don't worry, although the situation on the front line is serious, it is far from the point where we need to worry."

Seeing Sumo lowering his head in thought, Musk couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't you Chinese people say that if the sky falls, there will be a tall person to hold it up? If the aliens come over, the human God Su will definitely not sit idly by."

Depend on.

It's okay not to say that, but when Su Mo said it, he couldn't hold himself tight.

In this kind of war, which has reached tens of millions of levels, the impact that an individual can bring is minimal.

But Musk is right, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up.

At this stage, the tall man is in the territory of the Yusan family, and there is no need for him to worry about foreigners coming in.

"What we need now is research, armor, and new technologies that can be used on the battlefield."

Musk's voice changed and his tone became passionate.

"How about it? I see that you are very concerned about the front line. Do you want to go to my territory and let's do something big that can affect the front line?"

His plan before coming was two-step.

The first is to induce him by promising some benefits that Lao Zhang cannot refuse in exchange, so that he can agree to Sumo joining the Tesla territory as a technical consultant.

The second is to lure him with conditions. For a research talent, a well-equipped laboratory is undoubtedly the most attractive thing. He is extremely sure that there is absolutely no qualified experimental conditions in the Boulder Territory. With Sumo's ability, most experiments cannot be carried out. To carry out, this only has paper data.

However, now that he discovered that Sumo was so interested in frontline battles, Musk adjusted his plan in time.

Use the war on the front line as an attraction, and think that the equipment you develop can be used on the front line, and can be used in the war against aliens. Needless to say, the temptation is there.

Sumo raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect Musk to say that, and was a little surprised.

"Tell me, what do you want to help you with? Perfect this prototype and strive for mass production of the exoskeleton?"

Musk nodded: "With the help of routes, although human beings' athletic ability far exceeds the limits we thought in the past, it is difficult to exert this part of the limit value because the weapons we use essentially do not need to be so High limit value.”

The lower limit of damage a gun can cause is very high. As long as it can break through the defense, it will result in either death or injury.

But the upper limit of the gun is also very low. Once it cannot break through the defense, it is just a burning stick.

Even if it is like what is shown in the movie, firing more than a dozen bullets at the same position in a row to break through the defense and cause damage, it still has little practical significance in a battle of hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

Therefore, mankind is in urgent need of a weapon that can exert movement beyond the limit.

In Musk's view, exoskeleton armor may be the best choice.

When advancing, you can form a battle group to carry out frontal suppression and strikes against foreign races. When retreating, you can use your perfect maneuverability to create a guerrilla blocking effect.

Especially in small-scale assault battles, humans wearing exoskeletons can rush into battle without restraint, similar to cavalry in the cold weapon era.

And these are exactly what guns cannot provide at all.

"Why don't you choose to study missiles? Aren't beyond-visual-range strikes more effective?" Sumo asked.

"Two reasons. One is the cost issue. The wasteland is not like modern times, which can directly position and guide through satellites. We can't launch satellites now, and it is very troublesome to solve the problem of guidance. Therefore, even if missiles are developed, they can only be used at close range. Aiming and releasing through manual intervention loses the advantage of beyond-visual-range strike.”

Musk said solemnly, "The second is the result of losing control of the weapon. You also know the trust issue. If the missile we developed falls into the hands of human traitors, they press the launch button at the Golden Eagle's command headquarters. "No one can bear the consequences, which far exceed the benefits of using missiles."

The answer is almost the same as in Future Ruins.

The three major territories have strictly controlled the iterative update speed of weapons from beginning to end, not without their own considerations.

Not only are the traitors lurking within humans stealing weapons, aliens also have the means to infiltrate humans and gain access to powerful weapons.

Once you really want them to succeed, not only will all your efforts become empty talk, but it will also be equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot.

"It seems that many things have changed, but many things have not changed..." Sumo said silently in his heart, with mixed feelings for a while.

Real war is far from a simple game on a chessboard.

It's not a straightforward showdown between kings, generals fighting, or soldiers fighting, where the outcome is clear and upright.

War is definitely a profound and complex chess game, and its cruelty is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Often the fierce collision on the front battlefield is just the tip of the iceberg.

Under the surging undercurrent, there is a more secretive and cunning contest.

Lurking, assassination, disguise... Behind the victory, there are countless unknown conspiracies and tricks, and it is an extreme challenge of wisdom and courage.

Every victory in a battle may be a foreshadowing of the next failure.

Every failure may also lay the foundation for the final victory.

Before the real result comes, no one will know whether this move is wrong or right.

"How about it, the single-soldier armor is definitely the best choice. We customize it according to the human body data. Even if it is taken by aliens, they will never be able to use it."

Musk said excitedly: "We can also build a few control rules into it, so there is no need to worry about the traitor taking this equipment to deal with our own people. At that time, we only need to press the button lightly to easily win."

"Good idea." Su Mo nodded slightly.

"Then let's talk about the deal. I can help you improve this exoskeleton armor, from materials to design, and then to maintenance. As long as you trust me, these things can be improved quickly."

"Of course, I certainly trust you."

Musk's eyes lit up and he instantly became energetic, "Tell me, what do you need?"

...

Evening.

Musk led his men away. When he left, he seemed to be in an unusually good mood. He directly ordered to double the amount of aid materials for the next cycle of the Giant Stone Territory.

However, many people in the Giant Stone Territory did not show much happiness after receiving this news.

"What, Lord Ji is going to Tesla Territory, what should we do?"

"Without Lord Ji, what's the use of these aids?"

"People go to high places, water flows to low places, it is normal for Lord Ji to go to Tesla Territory."

"Yes, Lord Ji went to Tesla Territory, maybe he can take better care of our Giant Stone Territory."

"But..." The Niu brothers stood in the crowd and opened their mouths.

They were the first to come into contact with the giant stone, so they naturally knew that the soul of the giant stone was this Boss Ji.

Without him, the giant stone territory would have no foundation, and it was hard to guarantee that it would not collapse in an instant like those territories outside.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to do research for a while, and I'll be back later."

After sending Musk away, Su Mo came back in time to dispel the rumors.

In the past two weeks, 80% of the wishes of the villagers left in the 'Giant Mountain Statue' have been fulfilled. Before a new round of beliefs is formed, the progress of selecting survival points in the giant stone territory will definitely be much slower.

Instead of staying here to continue harvesting mosquito legs, it is better to go to Tesla territory to make a big one.

Wait until the giant stone territory develops steadily and there are more wishes before coming back, so that time can be used to the extreme.
