Chapter 53 The Federation Wants Everything!
What does the Federation need? The Federation wants everything!
The number of casualties announced to the public during the first landing war was 100,000, but in fact more than 300,000 were killed.
If the federal medical technology was not very developed, it would be possible to be rescued as long as they came back alive. This number would probably have increased several times. As for those caught by insects, it is basically impossible to be captured, so missing under normal circumstances is also considered dead.
Even so, the Federation was still hesitant about some expensive equipment. For example, after Annette's Cherry Military Industry successfully received a rifle order, it also mentioned that it equipped Federal soldiers with more advanced exoskeleton power armor to ensure that the soldiers have stronger combat effectiveness and easier to survive in the war.
However, the Federation is very hesitant about the new exoskeleton armor. It is not that it is questioning that Cherry Military Industry cannot create new exoskeletons. It is that this kind of elite equipment must cost a lot. Is this equipment really suitable for popularization of the entire army?
"Eliminate the exoskeleton armor slowly first. Even if the Federation decides to order, it will be customized in small batches and used to form small-scale elite troops. As for the popularization 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 idea is always to be a good thing that cannot be sold. As for the price, she thinks it should not be an obstacle.
But in fact, the price often determines a lot of things.
After all, the powerful US military, which claims to be piled up with money and advanced equipment, often does shocking things in equipment procurement.
For example, when the military ordered the Bereta pistol, the 226 bidding 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 installed, which were frantically criticized by soldiers.
But in elite troops like Navy SEALs, they will purchase 226, so the equipment to be allocated to the entire army must be the lowest-priced one under the premise of ensuring a certain quality.
Annette sighed speechlessly. She now realized this. Cherry Military Industry's exoskeleton armor was not recognized. Instead, the new armor produced by another large group received a second batch of large orders. The military believed that the equipment they provided had met the existing needs, so it made additional orders to supplement it to more and more soldiers.
"However, we still have to continue to develop this kind of elite equipment, because this battle cannot end in a short period of time. After all, the most terrifying thing about the Zerg is the almost endless number."
In the early days, humans were not at a disadvantage in numbers. Although there was a sea of insects on each battle, the large human forces were also densely packed when they were mobilized.
Only when the war reaches a certain level and the number of human deaths continues to increase, and when every soldier is precious afterwards is precious, the Federation will begin to pursue elite military transformation. At that time, the training and equipment cost of each soldier will increase exponentially, and how to save the lives of these elite soldiers has become an important issue.
"It was not until that time that exoskeleton armor would become standard equipment."
Rather than considering that, consider making a weapon that can fight in concert with infantry.
Originally, there were various chariots on the ground war of humans, but this war was carried out on aliens, and many chariots on the earth could not adapt to various complex environments. This is also one of the reasons why all human ground forces are infantry at present.
"Make a tank?"
"The tank is an option, but I thought of another piece of equipment, which is very suitable for combating with infantry."
Ethan thought of Iron Overlord. This small mecha derived from Tony's steel armor is actually an excellent weapon of war.
The Iron Overlord is not large but not small. It can be equipped with enough support weapons to provide a considerable degree of firepower support to the infantry group.
At the same time, its armor is thick enough to have a certain degree of defense, and can become a cover for infantry when necessary.
The weapons carried on the Iron Overlord can strike both the ground and the air at the same time, and their structure can adapt to most terrains.
It can be said that the Iron Overlord is a real weapon of war. Compared with Tony's steel armor, the Iron Overlord has been designed to go to the battlefield since its design.
As for power? This is not a problem for the Galaxy Team World. Even without Ethan's participation, the energy technology of Galaxy Team World is enough to ensure that they develop similar weapons and equipment on their own.
In the subsequent plot, the number of human mechas and chariots gradually increased. However, because these equipment did not have any references in the early stage, the initial generations of equipment had various points of flaw, which were gradually improved through repeated actual combat.
Relatively speaking, Ethan and his team have the advantage of having ready-made technology and knowing what problems are there, so they can make targeted improvements in advance.
It can also copy the technology from other worlds. Anyway, no one cares about what these mechanical equipment are like, as long as it can achieve the initial expected effect.
For example, some human equipment in StarCraft can be tried to imitate.
"After we have obtained the order for rifles, we are now working hard to produce rifles, and at the same time we are trying to make exoskeleton armor, which can provide firepower to infantry and all-terrain multi-functional infantry vehicles?"
A terrain vehicle is a good project. As long as you can create a basic framework, this thing can be improved into a variety of equipment such as combat, command, and transportation, and the demand is also very huge.
However, it is probably difficult for Cherry Military Industry to compete with those large companies for this equipment.
"Let's start with rifles and armor. Mechas can also be sold by the way. Sell them as many as you can. The most important thing is to take advantage of the various energy technologies in this world."
The Galaxy Team has a very high technical level. Annette has collected various technical information as much as possible during this period. For example, some things that cannot be bought from the market and they urgently need are asked to make Ada come to protect even if there are various patents, Ethan and the others will not care about it.
It is not used in this world! No matter how tightly your Galaxy Team’s patent law is protected, it cannot control other universes!
As several people talked, Modred and Galahad, who had been playing outside for a day, also came back.
The two of them knew that Ethan had come and ran over.
Because he is at the age of growing up and at the age of being most likely to accept new things, Mordred's changes are obvious.
Although his height has not increased much, his appearance has grown a lot, and his knowledge has become more and more wild.
She wore ragged jeans with several holes, casually wore a vest on her upper body, and had a ponytail with a golden hair. When she saw Ethan, she said with a happy look that the world was so fun
Galahad shook his head helplessly. Since Modred came to this world, he was like a mad dog with untied ropes. When he mentioned testing new weapons and being able to kill insects, he became more excited than anyone else.
More than once she said that when she had reached the federal standard, she would go directly to the army for mixed bathing and other things, and Mordred didn't care about such things at all.
But Galahad knew that there had been a consensus within the federal army that this lunatic would never be recruited into the army!
"We must keep this world so that I can come and chop bugs if I feel bad."
It's great to use a new rifle to keep twitching, but Mordred prefers to use cold weapons to cut bugs into pieces. She likes the incredible gaze of the soldiers looking at her, which makes her feel accomplished.
"Basically, this world will be bound for a long time."
In the past, there were not many worlds that Ethan could bind for a long time. At that time, he used the space-time pointer in his hand to record coordinates, leaving anchor points in a certain world, and the number of worlds that could leave space-time anchor points was limited, so he has always used this function with caution.
However, this function is meaningless now. As his strength improves, even if there is no record of time and space pointer, he can accurately find the specific coordinates of the world he has been to.
According to this situation, if he continues to improve his strength, he can no longer borrow the ability of the time and space pointer and use his own magic to complete the plane shuttle.
However, this time the situation made him think again: Should we create a magic array or teleportation device that allows everyone to travel through independently and at will in advance?
If you need to frequently travel to a specific world, even if you cannot choose the world you want to go to at will, a specific world channel like the Galaxy Team should still be established.
Several people talked about something again, and at this time Ethan suddenly remembered someone.
"By the way, where is the Nebula?"
He even forgot that there was an alien with a completely different appearance in his team. When he was sent here, he ignored this point. With the appearance of Nebula, he probably couldn't move freely in this world, right?
"Thank you very much for remembering me!"
A white woman with a blond hair, over 1.8 meters tall, suddenly walked in.
Ethan turned his head and glanced at him, and immediately recognized that this was the original appearance of Nebula, which had removed all kinds of makeup. With the familiar voice, it was obviously Nebula.
"It seems you have enough means to deal with this kind of scene."
Think about it, Nebula has been living in the universe for so many years, and occasionally needs to hide its appearance and racial characteristics. With this method, it is not difficult to understand that Nebula has installed many equipment, which can create projections to conceal its true appearance.
