Chapter 392 Naming

'he……'

'Why is he here? ! ’

That silent figure was the one that Helen remembered the most when she came to the military camp. As a new android just born in the training warehouse, this recruit named Bai E accomplished things in a short period of time that other soldiers would be unable to achieve in their lifetime. achievements.

It was precisely because of his outstanding performance that he was attracted by his resume as soon as he came to the military camp and devoted himself to observing him for a long time. He even considered him as one of his most important test subjects. The idea came up, but in the end because of his poor performance in melee combat talents, he gave up the plan in the end.

After returning, she was very glad that she did not choose a "flawed product" on impulse, nor did she choose the warrior named "Rose" as a lower-level "replacement". This plan required many resources, veteran. The hospital is by no means a place where one is willing to gamble on slim odds.

This plan can be delayed, but it must not fail!

So...why is he sitting here at this time today?

The people who appeared on this occasion at this time must be high-ranking officers in the military camp, or important front-line officers involved in this battle. How could he, an ordinary soldier, sit in this position?

Although she doesn't have much contact with the army, Helen also knows the promotion system within the army - unless she has a father who is a city lord, it is difficult for a normal natural person to be promoted from a low-level soldier to an important officer in just a few months. class.

Or... this warrior's performance was so terrifying that it broke the conventional system? To force even a rigid place like a military camp to recognize his achievements?

Could it be said that I was still wrong at the beginning?

This fleeting guess was accompanied by a little regret rising in her heart. Helen was stunned in place, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

"Academician Helen? Academician Helen?" The call that sounded in her ears as if from a very far away place made Helen suddenly come back to her senses.

Blinking her eyes lightly, Helen's consciousness returned instantly, and she turned her head to look in the direction calling her as if nothing had happened.

Weslin was looking at himself with a flattering smile.

"Academician Helen, I have to trouble you again. These are two brand-new Zerg behemoths that our military encountered in a battle that just happened. We have carefully preserved the sample tissue of one of the behemoths and are waiting for it. for your acceptance.”

Helen collected her mind and focused on the more urgent and important things at hand, "Where is the battlefield video?"

"At this."

Following Weslin's gesture, a picture of the giant beast captured by a battlefield drone suddenly appeared on the white curtain behind him.

The first shot at the scene was undoubtedly shocking. As the last core combat force of the military, the Titan-class armed mecha was instantly knocked down by the shot. Even the blast of firepower was enough to cover a huge area.

Judging from the subsequent summary of the explosion area, whether it was machinery or human bodies within the shelling range, the casualty rate was as high as 95%.

If the equipment is hit in a less important part, it can still be saved, but if the human body is collapsed, it will be shattered. The power is no worse than being hit by an anti-material sniper rifle.

What's more important is that even if the spread is extremely wide, the behemoth's artillery attack range is still dense.

This level of destructive power is far more exaggerated than the previous performance of the "dominator".

The master is fierce and fierce, which is just a control field that controls others and controls himself.

And if there are a few more of these new behemoths, and there are a few rounds of bombardment before the war begins, what chance does humanity have of winning?

Even the Titan-class armed mechas they were proud of looked like paper in front of them. The larger the battlefield, the greater the threat from this behemoth.

In small-scale battlefields, mechas can also rely on the tyranny of mechas to attack people in the face. In large-scale battles, it is difficult for mechas to cross the insect nest to perform beheadings when encountering the endless sea of ​​insects.

Humanity can only be thankful that the bug once again irrationally exposed its most powerful trump card on the battlefield where it should least appear.

If they were humans, they would never reveal their absolute trump card so easily.

But no matter what, once the newly emerged behemoth was reported, it was instantly assessed by the military as the most difficult strategic unit of the Zerg.

"We named it Thunder Beast..."

The video played slowly, Helen couldn't take her eyes away, and Weslin was beside her and introduced softly.

The progress came to the decapitation tactic of forcibly charging the mecha. Helen had no time to take into account the differences in the performance of the mecha team. She was only concentrating on every move of the "Thunder Beast" when facing the mecha's charge.

The video finally comes to an end as a blue and white mecha cuts in with a single blade and inserts a bomb into its body to detonate it.

Weislin synthesized the information summarized by the analysis department in the short period of time from returning to the camp to now and presented it to Academician Helen in front of him, "After our preliminary analysis, the main weapons of the Thunder Beast are two types: one is made of The two projectiles are combined into a bombardment form. One is an attack form in which the symbiosis gun on the forelimbs spits out a large amount of acid stored in the glands in the body. The other is used to bombard distant battlefields in a large area. One is to protect itself when being approached by enemies. In addition, the Thunder Beast does not carry many other symbiotic weapons or organs.

And from the physical signs and posture of the Thunder Beast we observed, it does not seem to be... nor suitable for carrying more other types of symbiotic weapons, and it should not have too many variant functions. At present, we think the best tactic to deal with the Thunder Beast is to let our armed mechas sprint and fight face to face. The Thunder Beast lacks the means to deal with high-armor units face to face. "

"But can each of your mechas have the close combat strength of this mecha? "

Helen pointed to the screen where the screen finally stopped. The mecha holding a single blade turned its back to the thunder beast, and the huge Zerg corpse slowly fell.

Although the video was short, the performance of the other mechas on the screen was very different from that of the mecha that killed the thunder beast. Helen believed that it was a teaching battle conducted by the instructor and the students.

"This..."

Weslin had no mind and no time to pay attention to this aspect. He was a marshal who was in charge of the overall situation and did not need to worry about the individual combat effectiveness of each of his subordinates.

Not enough ability? Then practice!

There are tens of thousands of people in the barracks and millions of people in the whole city. If there are not enough in the barracks, they will recruit soldiers. If there are still not enough, they will let the artificial production line produce soldiers. He can pick out the talents he needs one by one.

It's not that he needs a unique existence like the "Imperial God of War". Ordinary geniuses are just a matter of probability.

...So at this moment, he was speechless about Helen's question.

But Helen was not very concerned about the difference in personal combat effectiveness. She just needed more relevant information.

"What about the other behemoth?"

"Here. "

The screen flashed, and the picture flashed again.

The whole process of the red behemoth from running when it appeared to being briefly held back by the mecha squadron until its retreat after the death of the thunder beast was shown. The time was short, and the content that could be observed was even less.

"We tentatively named this behemoth the Ripper. Its giant claws that are usually hidden can easily tear apart the strongest defense of our armed mecha. And the scale..."

I'm afraid it's not small.

If the Thunder Beast is an absolute weapon for long-range bombing, the Ripper is the invincible king in close combat.

A pair of claws can easily tear apart the armor of the armed mecha. In just a few dozen seconds of delayed battle, three Rippers directly tore apart one and a half mechas. If it weren't for the timely assistance of the captain of the mecha combat team after solving the Thunder Beast, the half mecha would not be able to avoid the fate of destruction.

Although that pair does not seem to be as powerful as the "Overlord" that can be cut into a mirror-like surface with one blow, it is also one of the best Zerg symbiotic weapons seen by humans.

In addition, the terrifying force that is enough to overwhelm the mecha in a head-on confrontation, and all the mecha's armed weapons are difficult to cause it The threat level of the Ripper is not much lower than that of the Thunder Beast.

Not to mention that there are three Rippers at once, which does not look like a precious soldier at all.

If a large group of these bugs are seen rushing in formation on the Zerg battlefield in the future...

The thought makes every officer shudder.

In front of the people from their research department, it is predictable that the military's summary will not be radical.

Helen never expects to rely on them to determine the new Zerg species, and at this time she just points to the last scene frozen on the screen.

The blue and white captain's machine is looking at the direction where the three red behemoths are going away, like an absolute god of war who protects the entire army.

"Who is operating this mecha? "

The Thunder Beast didn't appear for long, so there weren't many opportunities to show off.

Even if the battlefield drone followed the whole process, many details couldn't be seen clearly due to distance and pixel issues.

Not to mention the Tearer, the whole battle process didn't take more than a minute. Except for the short struggle between the captain's machine and it, the battle against other mechas was almost one-sided.

Perhaps only the pilot who operated the captain's machine could tell more details that others couldn't touch.

Helen didn't care about the difference in combat power between each individual warrior, but she understood the warriors-every warrior who wanted to defeat his opponent first needed to understand his opponent.

The mecha pilot who directly fought with the Thunder Beast and killed it, and even entangled with the Tearer and was evenly matched, had the most say at this moment.

"Captain Bai, you will answer Academician Helen's question next." Weislin shifted the focus to Bai'e with a smile on his face.

The warrior he promoted himself once again made a big splash in this battle, which was also a compliment to him.

"Yes! Marshal! "Bai'e stood up, turned his head and looked at Helen with a serious face and nodded, "Academician Helen, you say."

"..."

'It's him!'

The focus returned to the soldier in the corner again, and the thoughts that had just been suppressed could not help but jump into his mind again.

Helen's heart was shocked, but she just squinted her eyes, "You became a pilot? When did it happen?"

"Five days ago." That was the time to take the assessment to become a regular pilot, Bai'e would not forget it.

Helen tilted her head slightly, "Marshal Weislin, if I remember correctly, the standard for your pilot compilation is at least 14 points of physical fitness, reflexes, and 13 points of insight, right?"

The pilot's driver is not a group of meat sprouts. In order to ensure that the strongest weapon of mankind can play a sufficient role, the driver who drives it must also have a strong physique and sufficient observation and reaction ability.

Even if the pilots of the mecha company are only candidates, they are still top-notch elites in other organizations. They have reached this point through layers of selection and certain artificial assistance and strengthening.

This is also an important reason why they are extremely averse to airborne androids becoming team members.

When he heard Helen's question, Weislin was slightly startled. He glanced at the adjutant on standby and nodded carefully, so he replied with certainty: "Yes!"

Helen whispered softly, "This attribute requirement..."

It's much more outrageous than when I first met him.

At first, it can be said that it was because the potential of his alien gene awakening was not fully released, resulting in an explosion of development when the attributes were low, but now all attributes are rapidly improving...

Not to mention that he broke the rules and became the only existence to join the regular pilot team as an android. At the same time, even in this extremely short training time, he became the captain of the mecha combat team that surpassed all the pilots of the mecha company.

What did he do during this period?

The originally extinguished mind was stirring again.

It was just related to her private plan. Helen knew the importance of it. After a simple inquiry, she went straight to the current topic, "Did you kill the Thunder Beast yourself?"

"Yes."

"In addition to what Marshal Weislin said just now, do you have anything else to add about the Thunder Beast?"

"Replying to the academician, the marshal said nothing was missing. According to my observation, the Thunder Beast's attack method is limited to these two forms. Its structure limits its ability to carry out other forms of combat. It is worth noting that there is a group of small worker insects and bee insects that will always follow the Thunder Beast. If it had not been bombarded with a round of missiles first, our decapitation operation might have faced more resistance. And according to my observation, the Thunder Beast seems to absorb the biomass of the small insect guards around it to recover from its injuries. This is a war weapon that can only follow the battle formation for strategic strikes. If it appears in an organized manner, we will definitely not be able to deal with it now. It should not appear on this level of battlefield."

The information about the Thunder Beast is quite clear in the Giant Beast Atlas. This is not a rare thing!

As long as they are willing to pay for biomass, this kind of bug can be mass-produced by the Zerg.

Once they appear in groups, it is an existence that humans, with Bai'e's current knowledge, cannot deal with!

Why would the intelligent Zerg easily expose such a trump card?

Ever since he first set foot on the Zerg battlefield, Bai'e has always been confused about the real goal of the Zerg. He can only use this time to mix in some private goods to see if he can point out some of the high-level people who can speak in the city now.

"...will it also absorb the biomass of other bugs to repair itself?" Helen whispered softly. This is information that did not appear in the video just now and in Weislin's summary.

Nodding, Helen indicated that she knew, and asked again: "Then... what about the rippers?"

"I think this name may not be appropriate." Bai'e looked directly at Helen calmly.

Naming will create a preconceived impression on people's subconscious, and a suitable name is also very important.

"In my opinion, the duty of this red behemoth is more about guarding... We should call it a guard."
