Chapter 393: Merits and Demerits Offset

The Thunder Beast has a clear illustration to help him recognize everything about it, but as for the red beast, he can only rely on his own perception to judge.

Unlike the Thunder Beast, which can be mass-produced with just enough biomass, the red beast feels to Bai'e more like a special species that is difficult to mass-produce.

In the brief confrontation between him and the red beast, even Bai'e, who was driving a mecha to fight against it, did not find any way to kill or even defeat the opponent.

Before he mastered the skills that could greatly increase his combat power and apply them to the mecha, even if he was controlling the armed mecha that is now known as the strongest weapon of war for mankind in the army, Bai'e did not have the confidence to defeat the opponent one-on-one.

The subtitles of the burst rate also proved this point. Just like when he met the Overlord, when he saw the three "guards", the burst rate subtitles he saw were just a piece of "???"

The thunder beast can also be said to be a qualitative change brought about by quantitative change. The only high-strength substance on its body is the highly concentrated seed of one of the two shells it fired, and its slow movement and fragile lower limbs are extremely fatal; but the red giant beast is a perfect creation with no weaknesses on its body.

If such a strong giant beast can be created at will, Bai'e can't think of anything else on this planet that the insects need to be afraid of.

What Bai'e believes most is the terrifying command voice from the insect nest node network - exactly the same as the last time the master appeared.

Does that voice mean the consciousness of the master? Or... a higher-level insect nest will that is enough to command the master?

The division of labor within the Zerg is clear, and commands are quickly transmitted in the node network with almost no delay. The lower-level insects listen to the orders of the upper-level insects, and there are very few high-level insects that cross-level commands, which means more consumption.

And how can an existence that can be directly commanded by that grand will be an ordinary mass-produced species?

The other party's retreat itself also means that the other party is unwilling to easily lose this special existence.

Without the large-scale control ability of the Overlord, a lone giant beast would also be doomed to die if it fell into the human army that had dealt with the ordinary insect tide.

Compared with the Thunder Beast, the "Guardian" is a more special existence.

Facing Bai'e who put forward his own opinion, Helen's eyes condensed slightly, and after a brief observation, she suddenly smiled, "You come with me."

Then she turned and looked at Weislin who had been following her, "Marshal, I'm sorry to bother you. I have received the information you provided. I will complete the next work by myself and provide you with detailed information about the giant beast as quickly as possible."

"Follow me." Turning around and leading the way, Bai'e looked at Weislin behind him for instructions.

He just waved his hand casually and gestured with his mouth, "Go, go."

The academician of the Research Institute is a must-see person. Everyone here can cooperate with the research, not to mention a small captain of the mecha combat team.

When the fierce academician walked away with the sound of "clacking" high heels, most of the officers in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh~ This woman is scary."

"Nonsense! She can become an academician in a place like the Research Institute, and she has seen as much blood as us."

After a short relaxation, Weislin stood on the stage again.

He knew the style of the Research Institute very well, so he asked everyone to summarize all the information about the new behemoth as soon as he came back, and he didn't even have time to summarize the performance of various departments of their human side in the battle.

Those who have merits must be rewarded, and those who have faults must be punished.

This is the necessary means to control people.

After knocking on the table, Weislin slowly scanned the circle, and then said lightly: "Let's start..."

"Yes!" The commander-in-chief who led the team to the expedition stood up and said calmly, "About this battle..."

...

The description of the process of the battle was long and boring, talking about some conventional tactics and mediocre sacrifice numbers, Weislin almost dozed off.

After the commander-in-chief stopped talking for a long time, Weislin suddenly reacted, "I'm done... I'm done... Does anyone else have anything to add?"

"Yes!" An officer who was sitting not far from the commander-in-chief suddenly stood up, "The commander-in-chief missed a very important piece of information - in this battle, a soldier in an important position made a huge mistake, which almost caused the battle to fail completely. I don't know why the commander-in-chief didn't mention it at all?"

The commander-in-chief had no expression on his face and replied calmly: "Individual performance has little to do with the success or failure of the entire battle. The battle will not succeed because of one person's outstanding performance, nor will it fail because of one person's poor performance. The specific responsibilities within the organization are the responsibility of the direct superiors of each organization, and I will not waste everyone's time here."

"But what if the organization led by this person is our crucial mecha combat team? This is a sharp knife for us to deal with advanced Zerg, but he almost led us into the abyss!"

So it immediately caused a commotion among the officers who didn't know about it.

Disobeying orders on the battlefield is a taboo in the army.

Weislin narrowed his eyes, and his original nonchalant thoughts of just wanting to keep things quiet also quietly dissipated, "What exactly happened?"

"Report to the marshal!" The officer put his legs together, saluted suddenly, and then began to state, "In this battle, Captain Bai Ebai, the captain of the mechanized combat team, disobeyed military orders and acted without permission before the battle. Not only did he ignore the orders of his superiors, He even twisted military orders to deceive his team members, causing the entire war situation to fall into the most dangerous situation! "

"What the hell are you farting!" Immediately, an officer with a hot temper stood up suddenly and glared at the officer who made the statement, "What does the dangerous situation of the battle have to do with Bai E's private actions?! Without his risky actions, we wouldn't have been able to do this this time. The battle has been defeated so damn long ago, and it’s your turn to talk nonsense here?”

The officer who made the statement stared at the officer who came forward with a strange look in his eyes, "Gladstone, if I remember correctly, he directly disobeyed your order... Are you okay?"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you! Without Captain Bai's turn of events this time, how could we kill those new behemoths? Why didn't you come out to answer when Academician Helen spoke out just now? Just tell me, the entire military camp Who can you find who can kill the Thunder Beast before the three 'Guards' arrive? How can we win this battle when the Thunder Beast is bombing from a distance? Find me a pair of pilots like this! "

He has a bad temper and doesn't understand the overall situation well.

But so what?

At that time, it was true that his soldiers were disobedient because they did not obey the command. On the way back, under the guidance of the commander-in-chief, he also saw clearly the key to the success or failure of this battle——

It was really because of Captain Bai's outstanding performance that he suddenly won this battle that should have failed.

Having soldiers like this at your disposal may sting your head a bit, but how fulfilling are you? Can you, an outsider, be allowed to complain?

"..." The officer who was scolded hesitated for a moment, then turned around and bit his tongue, "No matter what, he can't wash away the matter of disobeying orders on the battlefield."

"This is called an on-the-spot decision based on the battle situation!" Suddenly a voice from further away suddenly jumped out, "If you can go to the front line and kill a thunder beast, I will work for you as your personal guard later. If you say go east, I will never go west.”

"Carlos!" The officer who was being criticized glared at the corner where he was speaking. After realizing that the eye attack had no effect, he turned his head and looked in another direction that was clearly separated from Carlos. "Hamilton, what do you think?"

As long as Carlos supported something, Hamilton would definitely oppose it.

You need to find yourself some powerful allies...

Hamilton, who seemed to be dozing off, raised his eyebrows, "If I remember correctly, the mecha company should be under my control? I didn't say anything, is it your turn as an outsider to take charge?"

The officer who was scolded didn't take it seriously. Hamilton was just such a person. He didn't know what to do, so he just persisted and asked, "Okay! Tell me, is this a big mistake for disobeying military orders? He still assumes an important position." Captain of the mechanized combat team, this is going to be court-martialed!"

Hamilton's eyelids rolled, "Resisting is a crime, beheading is a merit. Any fault will be punished, and merit will be rewarded. Then I will punish him not to train for a morning, reward him with an extra meal in the evening, and then balance the merits and demerits. This matter Even if it’s over.”

"..."

The officer suffocated slightly. What kind of reward and punishment is this?

Scanning his eyes slightly, he found that there was still a silent "force" on the field, so he seemed to have found a savior.

"Deva..."

"He played well..."

"..."

So the officer could only look at the military marshal who had enough voice to finally characterize the incident, "Marshal Weislin..."

"Okay, okay..." Weslin couldn't help but want to yawn, so he woke himself up from the bed late at night. After finally dealing with the people who left the scientific research institute, he still let them sleep?

"Just do as Hamilton says. Why does this person care about you?"

"Just now he even openly questioned the Tactical Department's naming of the new species!"

"This matter has to be decided by the Scientific Research Department in the end, and nothing we say counts." Weslin didn't take it seriously at all, and it wasn't him who was slapped in the face.

"But our commander-in-chief deliberately concealed it..."

"The merits and demerits are all outweighed, what else is there to say...yawn~"

"Bang!" After Helen left with Bai E, the closed door suddenly opened, and Helen's assistant, also wearing a white coat, ran in quickly, "The academician said that Captain Bai made a great contribution this time! Never failed."

"..."

Why are you all going against me?

I just want to participate in the Commander-in-Chief's book. What's wrong with me?

The officer felt dizzy and felt the world's deep malice towards him.

'wrong! ’ The dazed officer found an opportunity.

The wind has changed, and the rudder has turned to the wind.

"Yes, yes! It's a great achievement! The commander-in-chief deliberately suppressed it!"

"..."

Where are people?

crooked? Where are people? Don't go!

…

In a separate private room, Helen stared at the warrior in front of her with an inexplicable smile on her lips, "Do you think 'guarding' is more important?"

"They are rarer. In comparison, Thunder Beasts are more important. That is the opponent our army needs to face more intuitively. Guards only appear to protect some important units, and they should not be seen on ordinary battlefields." Faced with Helen in private, Baie was more willing to express some of his own opinions. This was one of the few opportunities for him to get in touch with the urban upper class without much risk.

"Then why did you see it?" Helen squinted her eyes, trying to hear the thoughts of the warrior in front of her. "If the thunder beast is not rare, why are there guards to protect it?"

"Maybe... it's just for us to see?" Bai E carefully expressed his opinion.

He was no longer a completely stereotyped image when he last faced Helen, and using that image now is obviously a bit self-deceiving.

And he also really wants to know whether humans understand this.

Whether it's sandworms or the new thunder beasts and guards that appeared this time, Bai E can always smell more strange information from the abnormal exposure behavior of insects.

The timing of their exposure is too strange. It is obvious that they have more strategic value when they appear on a more decisive battlefield, but they always appear in the human field of vision on some insignificant occasions.

Is human reconnaissance capability all-pervasive?

So why are you so unprepared for the existence of the "Master"?

In other words, this is the information that bugs deliberately reveal to humans.

"Think...what would we do?"

Helen flipped through the printed information in her hand and said casually, "Both the Thunder Beast and the guards can easily defeat the armor of our modern mechas. The eight-element alloy is no longer enough to support the highest intensity of the current battle. It is urgent to develop a method to stably produce more advanced sixteen-element alloys. At the same time, the high-end bugs of the Zerg have this level of defense, so... what about the Overlord? If you want to completely defeat the Zerg, the current weapons are not enough. "

The solution is simple---increase technology.

'Is this what the bug wants? ’

Simple and direct thoughts arise in my mind.

'What do they want to do? ’

"We have already had this guess..." Helen lowered her eyelids, "In fact, in the past many years, bugs have had more than one opportunity to completely engulf us, but they always died due to various strange reasons. It didn’t work. Whether it was a deliberate attempt to spare someone or a lack of ability has never been determined, but the last few times... the intention has become much more obvious.”

"so……"

"So what else can we do?" Helen smiled helplessly, "Because the bugs want us to be technologically advanced, so we won't be technologically advanced?"

"..."

"So our research has never discussed this possibility. Just know it in your heart. You... the trophies you brought back this time are of great use. I will analyze them soon. Do you want to take a look?"

"look."

Of course look.

The specific data in my Behemoth Encyclopedia has not been put to use yet.

There were too many people just now, so he couldn't show it.

When you're alone, there's always an opportunity to show what you can do.

And...did Helen just talk about sixteen-yuan alloy? That is the core technology needed for my own mecha transformation plan!
