After listening to Lin Zhengyang's story, Mr. Wei's heart immediately sank. He quickly called the engineer for more detailed inquiries.
Speaking of which, they were a bit unlucky. You must know that because the geothermal energy extractor was too large, they took it apart and transported it into 20 armored vehicles.
Among these 20 armored vehicles, only 3 vehicles transported important components. But by coincidence, one of the armored vehicles was blown over.
"Is there really no way to repair it?" Wei Tianxing asked reluctantly after a slight silence.
"We don't have enough technical reserves, and those are high-end precision equipment. There is no equipment to repair such equipment here in the shelter, and there is not even a chance to try." The engineer was also quite helpless.
They have been in contact with this set of geothermal energy extractors for more than half a year. Coupled with the previous repair work, they also have a deep understanding of this set of equipment. If there are matching repair equipment, they may not be unable to try it.
It's just that there are only one or two instruments that can repair such cutting-edge precision equipment in large bases with scientific research laboratories. As for a medium-sized shelter like theirs, don't even think about it.
"If the geothermal energy extractor loses this important component, can it be replaced by other equipment? If it cannot be replaced, will the geothermal energy extractor be able to operate without this important component? Even a low-power one will do." Wei Tianxing added from
Two questions were asked on the side.
But the engineer gave a ruthless answer, "No, this is an important part of the converter. Without it, the entire equipment cannot operate at all."
"Oh, this is all my problem. Once I have arranged things here, I will immediately leave for the East China Sea Base. I will show off my old face and find those old guys to help me get this important part.
Come out." Lin Zhengyang sighed and said.
If they follow the normal process, it will take at least 4 to 5 months for them to re-customize this important component. However, he still has some connections in the military. If these connections are used, the time should be reduced to two months.
.
"Wait a minute! We still have hope. Don't forget these important parts. We have customized two sets." Wei Tianxing shook his head.
Yes, what Mr. Wei was talking about was exactly the important set of equipment that Lin Xinyang and the others had.
At first, he only made this arrangement out of caution, but he didn't expect that it would now become his last hope.
After all, if you re-customize parts, the money spent is still a small thing, but the important thing is time.
You must know that as the abyss passage continues to expand, there is less and less time left for them to develop. If two months are wasted, many plans will be postponed.
"You mean those mercenary groups? I'm not talking about you, Old Wei. In the final analysis, mercenaries are just people with combat experience. They have not undergone any strict training at all. It's okay to let them kill zombies, but now they are with
The armed forces of the Morgan consortium are fighting.”
"I don't have a problem with you using them as bait to attract the attention of the Morgan consortium, but it's inappropriate to give them such an important task." Lin Zhengyang frowned and said.
In his opinion, both important components should be handed over to the military department for transportation. Although it is very risky to put eggs in the same basket, no matter how big they are, it should be better than putting them in the hands of those mercenary groups.
"Lao Yang, I don't agree with what you are saying. Do you think the current mercenary group is still the same as when the mercenary guild was first established a year ago?"
"I admit that the mercenary groups at that time were noisy and no different from a mob, but after a year of life licking blood at the edge of a knife, believe it or not, in this kind of small-scale team battle that does not require much command, you can definitely fight with
The soldiers in your military headquarters were fighting back and forth."
"If you send mercenaries to the real main battlefield, maybe it won't work, but if you use them as surprise soldiers, you can still look forward to it." Wei Tianxing immediately retorted.
"Okay, okay, even if what you said is right, it's evenly matched. But don't forget what their positioning is, it's a bait! They are used to attract the troops from the Morgan consortium, and they attract
There are definitely a lot of them, do you think they can still make a difference under such circumstances?"
When Lin Zhengyang saw that Wei Tianxing was about to refute, he immediately added, "And don't forget what the order you gave them was? If you can't do anything, you can leave the goods and run away."
King bomb!
With these words, Mr. Wei suppressed all the words he wanted to refute.
There are two biggest differences between a mercenary group and the army. The first point is discipline. On a small-scale battlefield, a mercenary group can still rely on the prestige of the leader to command, but if they are gathered on a large scale, the real
When you enter the battlefield, you may be in disarray.
And the second point is their willpower.
As long as the army receives an order, even if they know they will die, they will rush forward without hesitation, but mercenaries cannot have such a will.
Therefore, when something cannot be done, giving up the mission is almost the first choice of a mercenary. After all, keeping one's life is more important than anything else.
This is also the essence of using troops, and Mr. Wei cannot refute it.
However, although he could not refute it, when he recalled the information about Lin Xinghai, he still had some hope in his heart, because Lin Xinghai's rise was so amazing, and the opponent's strength could not be viewed with normal eyes.
It didn't take long for them to receive news that these mercenary groups were back.
The nine mercenary groups were divided into three teams, and two teams had already returned.
The number of people who died in the first team that came back exceeded 100. This was because they lost their transport items at the critical moment, and the other party checked the items and slowed down the pursuit, so they were able to escape safely.
As for the second team that escaped, it was much worse. They lost more than half of their number, and even a mercenary leader died in the battle.
This is an absolutely devastating blow to the third-level mercenary group, and it is very likely that it will be reduced to a second-level mercenary group in the future.
Not to mention protecting the transported items, they were thrown away immediately.
This result left Mr. Wei quite speechless, and he could not blame the other party. After all, this was the order he had given before, and these mercenary groups had completed their mission as bait.
At the same time, he also got a piece of news from the two mercenary groups, that is, the encirclement and suppression team sent by the Morgan Consortium exceeded their strength by more than half.
Moreover, they usually fight zombies, and this is the first time they have exchanged fire with humans who also hold thermal weapons. This combat experience is incomparable to the armed forces of the Morgan Consortium, so as soon as the two sides exchange fire, they are suppressed.
beat.
After hearing the news, Mr. Wei suddenly felt a little heavier.
Lin Zhengyang, who was also listening to the news, was no longer in the mood to ridicule his old friend.
Why didn't he hope that these mercenary groups could really bring back important parts, but the other party's performance was worse than he imagined!
