My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1484

[1475. Chapter 1452 Weapon selection, many concerns!]

Leave professional matters to professionals. Excessive 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 period of contact, he also had no intention of getting involved in it.

It is his job to obtain more special survival points and prepare for the first battle between gods.

The more chaotic the external environment is, the more we must not lose our composure.

“Do you plan to mass-produce this equipment and equip the front-line troops?” Su Mo thought about it. Musk was able to develop a prototype so quickly, probably because he took into account the war that was about to come.

If this type of exoskeleton armor could be deployed on a large scale to the front-line troops, the human race’s chances of winning against aliens would certainly 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 still need to test the effect.” Musk said in a low voice.

“This equipment is not cheap. Even if it is equipped to 100,000 people, it is still an astronomical figure. In addition, it will be troublesome to repair and replace it in the future. It is difficult to organize a corresponding mechanized maintenance team.”

“However, fortunately, in the current economic environment, everything is based on war first. Winning the two gambling fights is the priority. Economic benefits, infrastructure, and rate of return are not important. Even if these equipments have to empty the material inventory of the territory, ordinary people will definitely understand.”

“It’s very difficult.” Su Mo smiled. “This set of equipment looks good, but you should know its actual effect. It’s too stupid. It needs at least three more versions to be optimized before it can be put into actual combat. The materials also need a comprehensive innovation breakthrough.”

If you want to build a mechanized force, the biggest challenge is actually logistics capabilities.

The more sophisticated the machinery, the more likely it is to malfunction during intense firefights. If the logistics and maintenance teams cannot keep up in time, the expensive equipment may be abandoned on the front line before it can even be used.

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

Even powerful colleges, foundations, and companies like Blue Star have not formed large-scale mechanized teams.

Even those with top-level combat power who possess battle armor are extremely rare.

“In addition, you also need to develop a set of automatic maintenance equipment, which only requires simple manual operation and positioning to detect 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 push the Golden Eagle to form a mechanized force, he would not mind trading the technology.

“You make it sound simple. This technology is not that 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 that the data I sent you last time was free, but this time if you want to bring this guy with you to get new information and data from me, you will have to pay.”

“This is easy. Just ask for it. It won’t be a problem for me to give it to you.”

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

The two entered the stone house one after the other.

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

“Let’s talk about the battle situation on the front line first. How is the progress of the aliens in the east?”

“The progress is very fast.” With no outsiders around him, Musk couldn’t help but frown.

“This time, the aliens’ actions covered a large area, almost covering the entire eastern plate. Our human territories in the east have been under siege by the 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, glanced at Su Mo who looked thoughtful, and continued.

“You know, there are spies among us humans. They have defected to the aliens and not only sold intelligence to them, but also pretended to deceive the trust of other territories, thereby creating opportunities for the aliens to attack.”

Something expected.

Su Mo took a deep breath. Whether it was a future relic or reality, this kind of thing was still happening.

There will always be a group of people who cannot resist temptation, betray their own group, and seek glory by joining other races.

“After the crisis of trust is established, everyone in each territory will be in danger, and the alien races will be able to isolate their attacks better. The big trouble will soon spread to our southern plate, within two months at most.”

“Does the Golden Giant Eagle plan to send people to the front line to block the enemy?” Su Mo couldn’t help but ask.

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

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

“This is inevitable. We cannot allow the aliens to enter the southern plate unimpeded. At the very least, we must prevent them from causing any damage before the autumn harvest. After that, it will be winter. As long as we can hold out until winter, we will have at least three months of buffer period.”

“Now all the major federal territories are organizing their armies to go to the front lines to fight the aliens. Due to confidentiality, I cannot tell you the specific number and scale for the time being, but it will definitely not be less than seven figures. In addition, the Northern Alliance and Dragon Flag will also send troops accordingly to crush the aliens to death in the eastern plate.”

Seven digits means millions of people.

As expected of the territory of the Three Great Families, a simple sniping attack could produce such a terrifying scale.

If the three territories could provide this number of troops, the alien attack would definitely be stopped for a while.

As long as they can hold out until winter comes, the harsh climatic conditions will at least calm the war down a bit until the first fight 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 Su Mo lowering his head in deep thought, Musk couldn’t help but comfort him: “Don’t you Chinese people say that if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up? If the aliens attack us, the human Su Shen will definitely not sit idly by.”

Depend on.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t said that. As soon as he said that, Su Mo couldn’t hold it in anymore.

In this war where the number of victims is nearly tens of millions, the impact that an individual can bring about is minimal.

But Musk is right, there are indeed tall people to hold up the sky if it falls.

At this stage, Gao Ge’s territory is the territories of the three royal families, so he doesn’t need to worry about alien races invading.

“What we are needed for now is research, armor, and new technologies that can be used on the battlefield.”

Musk’s tone suddenly changed and became more excited.

“How about it? I see you’re quite concerned about the front line. Do you want to come to my territory and we can do something big together that can affect the front line?”

One is to bribe him by promising him some benefits that Lao Zhang cannot refuse in exchange for letting him agree to Su Mo joining 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 absolutely sure that there are absolutely no qualified experimental conditions in the Stone Territory. With Su Mo’s ability, most experiments cannot be carried out, so there are only paper data.

However, now that he realized that Su Mo was so interested in fighting on the front line, Musk adjusted his plan in time.

Use the war on the front line as an attraction. Think about how the equipment you develop can be used on the front line and in wars against foreign races. Needless to say, the temptation is self-evident.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t expect Musk to say that. He was a little surprised.

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

Musk nodded: “With the help of the route, human beings’ athletic ability is far beyond what we previously thought to be the limit, but this part of the limit is difficult to play out, because the weapons we use do not essentially require such a high limit.”

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

But the upper limit of guns is also very low. Once they cannot break through the defense, they are just firewood sticks.

Even if, as shown in the movies, more than a dozen bullets are fired at the same position to break the defense and cause casualties, it still does not have much practical significance in a battle involving hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

Therefore, humans are in urgent need of a weapon that can exert its motion beyond the limit.

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

When advancing, they can form a battle group and carry out frontal suppression and attack on the alien race; when retreating, they can exert their perfect mobility and achieve guerrilla warfare to block the enemy.

Especially in small-scale assaults, humans wearing exoskeletons can charge without restraint, similar to the cavalry in the cold weapon era.

These are exactly what guns can never provide.

“Why not choose to research missiles? Wouldn’t beyond-visual-range strikes be more effective?” Su Mo asked.

“There are two reasons. One is the cost issue. The wasteland is not like the modern world where we can use satellites to directly locate and guide. We cannot launch satellites now, and it is very troublesome to solve the guidance problem. Therefore, even if the missile is developed, it can only be launched at close range through manual intervention and aiming, but this loses the advantage of beyond-visual-range strikes.”

Musk said in a deep voice, “The second is the consequences of weapons getting out of control. You also know about the trust issue. If the missiles we developed fell into the hands of human traitors, and they pressed the launch button at the Golden Eagle headquarters, no one could bear the consequences, which far outweighed the benefits we would get from using missiles.”

Almost the same answer as in Future Ruins.

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

Not only are there spies lurking within the human race who will steal weapons, but alien races also have the means to infiltrate the human race and gain access to high-powered weapons.

If we really want them to succeed, not only will all our efforts be in vain, but it will also be like shooting ourselves in the foot.

“It seems that many things have changed, but many things have not changed,” Su Mo said silently in his heart, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

A real war is far more than a simple game on a chessboard.

It was not a straightforward duel between kings, a clash between generals, or a fight between soldiers, where the outcome was clear and the outcome was fair and honest.

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.

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

Lurking, assassination, disguise. Behind the victory are countless unknown conspiracies and tricks, and an ultimate challenge to 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 ultimate victory.

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

“What do you think? Individual combat armor is definitely the best choice. We customized it according to human body data. Even if aliens take it, they will definitely not be able to use it.”

Musk said excitedly: “We can also build in some control rules, so we don’t have to worry about someone using this equipment to attack us. At that time, we can just press a button and win easily.”

“That’s a good idea.” Su Mo nodded slightly.

“Then let’s talk about the deal. I can help you perfect this exoskeleton armor, from materials to design to maintenance. As long as you trust me, these things can be perfected quickly.”

“Of course, I believe you.”

Musk’s eyes lit up and he instantly became energetic. “Tell me, what do you need?”

evening.

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

However, many people in the Stone Territory did not seem very happy after receiving this news.

“What? Lord Ji wants to go to Tesla’s territory. What should we do?”

“Without Lord Ji, what’s the use of all this help?”

“People go to higher places, water flows to lower 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 Boulder Territory.”

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

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

Without him, this megalithic territory would lose its foundation and might 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 seeing Musk off, Su Mo came back in time to dispel the rumors.

Over the past two weeks, 80% of the wishes of the villagers preserved in the ‘Giant Mountain Statue’ have been fulfilled. Before a new round of faith is formed, the progress of acquiring survival points in the Giant Stone Territory will definitely be much slower.

Instead of staying here and continuing to reap small pies, it is better to go to Tesla’s territory and get the big one.

Wait until the Stone Territory develops steadily and you have more wishes before coming back, so that you can make the most of your time.
