Chapter 514 Bandit Suppression Action

Zheng Tian paused, and then continued: "When the expeditionary fleet was preparing for the battle on Godardan, the Earl was not idle. He spent a lot of energy on a detailed study of the human environment of the Broken Star Ring. He thinks that the Broken Star There are not only enemies in the ring. Those oppressed pirate race people are the ones that the Chi Feng tribe can fight for. They have the same fate as us on the origin star. They are oppressed, but they can do nothing to change the status quo. There must be a flame of unwillingness in their hearts."

"What the expeditionary fleet has to do is to first break the shackles on their heads with absolutely powerful military strength, and then ignite their will to resist, so that they can turn from the enemy's reserve resources into friends of the Chifeng clan, and even into Chifeng Because, in the definition of human beings, the Red Front Expeditionary Fleet is the army of justice. As long as we still uphold the righteousness, we will be able to fight the enemy less and less, the weaker the enemy, and the stronger we will be. Let's fight more and more friends. Fight with war, victory is mine."

"The above are the original words of the Earl."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Tian switched the meeting to a small group of high-level personnel.

The next thing she has to do is to make specific tactical arrangements.

She has already selected her opponent for the first battle, which is one of the two poles of Boxia Qihai's new cutting-edge, named Golden Dog.

In the past 20 years, the Golden Dog supported by Nanxiang Earl's Mansion has developed extremely rapidly.

Its leader, Beverly, has the nickname of Mad Dog and is known for acting perversely and unreasonably.It is rumored that Beverly has some blood relationship with the Tusk Pirates, but he himself never admits it.The remnants of the Fanged Pirates believed it was true, and rushed to seek refuge, but Beverly stripped off the human skin, separated the flesh and hung it outside the gate of the Golden Dog Supreme Court called the Kennel.

The man wailed for seven days and seven nights before he finally died.Since then, although others have not got the answer, they already have speculations in their hearts.Beverly's family must have been involved with the Tusk Pirates, and the involvement was deep, but the breakup between the two parties was not happy.

Today's Golden Dog has a powerful fleet with balanced capabilities in many aspects, consisting of more than [-] retired warships of the old imperial army that have undergone technological transformation.

Although its basic structure is outdated, key parts such as energy shields, kinetic energy modules, long-range missiles, energy cannons and information flow devices have been updated, and it has an overwhelming advantage over ordinary pirate forces.

In just 20 years, the main battle fleet of the golden dog has been conquering all over the world, destroying and annihilating hundreds of small and medium-sized pirate groups, and plundering countless caravans.For the caravan that was not escorted by the security affairs officer of the Earl's Mansion of Nanxiang, they never left anyone alive, and even chased after them to kill them all.

Some people even commented that the comprehensive strength of the Golden Dog main battle fleet is already the strongest in the Broken Starlink.With Beverly's crazy expansion strategy, it may not take a hundred years for the golden dog to officially compete with the regular army of the planetary system.

Zheng Tian chose the Golden Dog as his opponent in the first match, which was a bit beyond the expectations of others.

After all, according to the conventional understanding, it must be easy before difficult.But Zheng Tian has different considerations.

She first analyzed Beverly's personal affairs and the structure of the golden dog, and believed that although this force seemed huge, the original team under Beverly's command was not large.Today's momentum is due to the fact that many small and sophisticated pirate forces have joined in a short period of time under the needles of the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion Secret Service, and there are even many active in the Nanxiang star cluster, mainly civilians of the empire. There are also shadows of the small armed caravans and mercenary regiments of baronets for life.

Therefore, today's golden dogs seem to be strong, but the hearts of the people are not in harmony, they are big and scattered, cohesive but not gathered.

What binds many forces around Beverly is not the cohesive force formed by blood and sharing joys and sorrows, but pure interests.

This kind of power will be particularly vigorous in a downwind battle, after all, every battle is profitable.But once you encounter a strong enemy, you don't need to be too strong. You only need to show the ability to cause heavy damage to the Golden Dog main battle fleet through some small-scale victories, and it will naturally tear up the existing suspicions in this fragile alliance. open.

When internal contradictions gradually emerge, mutual trust is lost, and self-protection is more considered in the face of life and death crises, the seemingly powerful fleet of the Golden Dog will become vulnerable.

But if it is left alone, according to the current development trend of the golden dog, its expansion rate will be very fast, even much faster than that of another Nanxiang uncle who has re-supported the uncle Xia Qihai.

When the scale of the golden dog exceeds a certain level, the internal population will multiply for another generation, and through intermarriage and friendship among different forces, coupled with the brainwashing propaganda from the Secret Service of the Earl's Mansion in Nanxiang, they will inevitably be slowly twisted into a single rope , then it will really become a giant.

"Since the Fragmented Star Ring pirates believe that the Golden Dog is very strong, the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion also has high hopes for them. Then we are fighting this early bird. Instead of waiting for the enemy to continue to grow to the point where we are completely invincible, it is better to take advantage of it Now, bear a part of the loss and nip the danger in the cradle ahead of time."

Afterwards, Zheng Tian gave an order, and the expedition fleet gradually accelerated to 0.21 times the speed of light, and began to fly straight towards the diagonal.

According to the information provided by Wen Yuanbo, a private caravan transporting a large amount of recovered resources from the battlefield is flying from below the Nanxiang star cluster, and its target is the warping subspace channel near the Watch.

Wen Yuanbo speculates that with Golden Dog's intelligence capabilities, he will definitely know the movement of this fleet, and with Beverly's huge appetite and greedy nature, he will definitely target this private caravan with [-] annual ships. Prepare for ambushes along the way.

Umo provided a detailed star map of the various regions above and below the Fragmented Star Ring, which are the wealth accumulated by the Storm Pirates for many years.

According to these star maps, the staff of the expeditionary fleet has locked the hiding place of the golden dog preparing to ambush the caravan.

Another two years passed, and the expedition fleet traveled a distance of 0.42 light-years and quietly approached a star area.

Before arriving, the fleet had already lowered its speed to [-] kilometers per second, and at the same time turned on the power of the stealth device to the maximum, and then quietly dropped a large number of small and cheap detectors disguised as a group of space meteorites and flew forward.

These small detectors do not have any electronic functions, they are just pure stone.

However, the information flow scanner of the armed battleship in the rear can accurately identify the change of the detector's azimuth, and use the precise analysis of the detector's flight trajectory to calculate the potential gravitational source distribution in the seemingly empty star field ahead.

Afterwards, one eye ship after another flew out quietly.

These eye ships are equipped with information flow interference devices.

Just like when Ren Zhong led the army to fight against the Storm Pirates back then, Zheng Tian also wanted to make full use of her technical advantages to fight a one-way transparent unequal war.

Wu Moyou, who has joined Chifeng Star for a long time, also sits in the headquarters hall as a senior staff officer.

He looked up silently at the rapidly changing data projected above his head, watched the warships of the Golden Dog being recognized one after another, and watched one after another ultra-long-range missiles gradually lock on to these enemies.

Wu Moyou secretly sighed.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a returning home force of new trace seekers who hadn't passed the earl's review could create such a technological advantage in such a short period of time.

A few days later, Zheng Tian issued an order, and [-] ultra-long-range missiles were dispatched and rushed straight ahead.

More than ten days later, when the ultra-long-range missile was about to enter the opponent's information flow radar scanning to identify the minimum radius, according to the agreed time, the eye ship began to release interference, cutting off the opponent's communication.

Next, it was the familiar all-army assault.

During the assault, the long-range fleet continued to release long-range missiles of various types and functions.

A thousand strengthened armed warships launched suddenly, stabbing forward like a sharp knife, and at the same time began to operate the multi-scanning radar at full power to identify the results of the battle ahead.

When the expeditionary fleet approached the hiding area of ​​the Golden Dog main battle fleet, the opponent's seemingly huge fleet had already been severely damaged in the first wave of long-range strikes.

The results analysis specialist at the staff department commented: "The disposable energy cannon device installed on our long-range missile is really useful. The opponent's shield center is affected by the performance degradation of the brain chip, and cannot adjust the energy in time for differentiation. The output cannot stop our short-range energy cannon that automatically detects the enemy and focuses the fire."

Zheng Tian, ​​who is also on the command channel, said with a smile: "The combination of physical missiles and short-range energy cannons is the earl's idea. The original design and multiple improvements of the equipment are also from the earl's handwriting. This can indeed greatly increase energy. The range of the weapon can also make up for the difficulty of live ammunition weapons in the face of more sensitive enemies."

While the battle of the expeditionary fleet was in full swing, Ren Zhong himself was still doing his private training boringly downstairs in the main administration hall of Chifeng Star.

Bang bang bangs echoed repeatedly in the underground hall.

He pulled the handle of the huge gear structure, driving the heavy counterweight and smashing it loudly.

Up to now, Ren Zhong doesn't know what standard his own strength is, but as the counterweights get heavier and heavier, the upper limit of the simulated energy of the armor that Sun Ai can control is getting bigger and bigger, and he vaguely I noticed that I seemed to be more and more different from ordinary fighters in the mechanical empire.

In the foundation of the machine empire, individual combat effectiveness is not the focus, but various giant structures are the main focus.

Never before has a warrior single-handedly commanded a power as large as the total energy of a planet.

Because there will always be an upper limit blocking the carbon-based life in front.

But Ren Zhong felt that if he continued to improve like this without a limit.

I'm afraid that one day, I will be able to rival the fourth-class mother imperial ship by myself.

Chapter 515 Sun Ai's gift, a long life

It was another round of traditional physical training. Sweating heavily, he jumped off the training platform, turned around and walked quickly to the bathroom, and then jumped into the low-temperature recovery chamber. Millions of slender bionic silk threads spread from the lower console of the low-temperature chamber Come out, wrap his whole body to form a net-like clothing, and more nano-scale slender tubes protrude from the bionic silk thread, piercing the heavy skin surface in a painless way, and start to conform to the human cell respiration law. Slowly inject the recovery solution on the surface of Ren Zhong's body at the same frequency.

This is the latest scientific research achievement of Chifeng Academy of Sciences, which can effectively speed up the recovery speed of soldiers after completing high-intensity training. Of course, the most intensive training tasks are enjoyed first.

At the same time, the cold touch released by the dry ice is also constantly stimulating the blood circulation in Ren Zhong's body, making him feel refreshed.

He was planning to take advantage of this time to read the latest administrative briefing when Sun Ai's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Recently, Sun Ai seems to be obsessed with changing her voice. She only heard a very charming Yujie's bubble voice and said, "Uncle, I have a bad news and a good news to tell you. Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"

Ren Zhong felt a little powerless to complain, and sighed, "Listen to the bad news first."

He once told Sun Ai before, telling her not to talk in the shower or in the cryogenic chamber after training, it would make him feel very embarrassed.Sun Ai kept saying that he promised quickly, but he always went his own way, and the promise never counted.Even if Ren Zhong pretended to be angry, it would not work.

She can always find reasons to justify, for example, why she is so pitiful now that she doesn't even have a body, which is just a program, and only by doing something deviant can she still remember that she is still a person.

Ren Zhong didn't know whether what she said was true or not, and he couldn't judge this matter, so he could only believe it tentatively.

"The bad news is that my previous plan to ask the Academy of Military Engineering Sciences to set up an expert group to develop new types of individual combat equipment for you has completely failed, and all the efforts have been useless."

Ren Zhong frowned, "What's going on? Was there some laboratory accident?"

He cares a lot about it.In recent years, he has used the earl's authority to study a large number of actual combat cases between the mechanical empire and the three enemies.He is fascinated by the planet-level individual soldiers of Ascendants, Pilgrims, and Anima.These powerful individuals who can make decisions on the battlefield can often exert miraculous effects on the battlefield, and can even turn the tide of battle so that the weak can defeat the strong.

Ever since, Ren Zhong asked Sun Ai to monitor his various parameters at any time, and then formed a team synchronously, with three of the ten sons of Qianmen as the core personnel, and with the remote assistance of Yuanxing Academy of Sciences, he tried to develop a more advanced version for himself. The ultimate individual equipment.

The research and development direction he proposed is not limited to battle armor, it can be a single-person battleship, or a single-person giant structure. Anyway, as long as he can control all the functional modules of the entire war machine alone, and can cause damage to the armed battleship Just a real threat.

The project went very smoothly at the beginning, and the project team quickly came up with a deformable equipment with a size of ten kilometers as a prototype.

Ren Zhong was also looking forward to the results, but now Sun Ai told him that it was a mess.

Sun Ai said with a smile: "There is no accident in the laboratory, but the researchers find that whenever they are about to complete a design, the updated data I give them will always cause them to overthrow themselves repeatedly. You The load-carrying power, brain response index, and physical potential index are constantly increasing. What you want is the ultimate, but your limit is always rising. The R&D personnel are very distressed, and their designs are always outdated. Until now, They've made dozens of versions of prototype miniatures, but none have made it to the verification process."

After listening to Ren Zhong, he was also quite speechless. He didn't expect that his improvement would soon turn into a shortcoming.

Sun Ai said: "The only advantage is that the Military Industry Institute has accumulated a lot of research and development experience through this project. Now the mass-produced equipment of other super-level professionals is about to enter the final verification stage. Within two years at the latest, we will be able to Provide a comprehensive change of clothes for all different types of super-level professionals. This change of clothes will increase the comprehensive combat power of the Special Warfare Legion by more than 50%. After my conversion evaluation, the theoretical and actual combat capabilities of the Red Front Special Warfare Legion are in the South The township star cluster already belongs to the first echelon."

Ren Zhong asked, "Is this the good news you said?"

"Of course not. It's just a by-product of the bad news. The real good news is that I've finally cracked a part of your genetic code."

"Oh? The mystery of my genes?" Ren Zhong suddenly became interested.

"Uncle, your energies are scattered now, so you are probably the most knowledgeable scientific researcher in the entire Chifeng clan, but basically in every subdivision field, there are people who have researched more profoundly than you, right?"

Ren nodded: "Of course. This is really what I hope."

Sun Ai: "But I think that if you can put down many chores and choose a professional field that you are most interested in, you will still have the opportunity to climb to the top of the scientific pyramid of the Chifeng tribe, and even have the opportunity to reach the top of the Imperial Academy of Sciences." Selection criteria. You have top-level intelligence and top-level creativity, this is the ultimate characteristic of humans in the mechanical empire, and it is also the form of perfect talent that the imperial family most wants."

Facing Sun Ai's flattery without a "bottom line", Ren Zhong was not polite and modest.Because he knows very well that he can indeed do it.It's just that now as a civilized leader, you have to make a choice.

"Then, here is the key question I want to talk about. I told you, Uncle, a long time ago that I am working on the research and development of telomere directional extension and controllable wireless splitting technology. Do you remember?"

Ren Zhong hummed, "Of course I remember, but haven't the results of the first stage been applied to me? Now my theoretical lifespan of 190 years comes from your project."

Sun Ai said, "You also know that it is only a stage of achievement. The real good news I give you today is that I have advanced these two technologies to the next level, and it is likely to be the ultimate height. I used The results of my father's research and development have digested some subtle changes that occurred when my father made my body that neither he nor you were aware of. Now, I am making an instrument. When this instrument is completed, it will allow you to sleep in a frozen state. In this state, modify and recombine the gene of each of your body cells, and burn the adjusted infinite telomere gene of your cancer cells into each of your cells. That is your own gene, so it will not appear Immune rejection. If it succeeds, uncle can give you the ability to live forever. But if it fails..."

After talking about it, Sun Ai became a little hesitant to speak.

"What will happen if you fail, just tell me."

"You will die physically. The only way to survive is to permanently freeze your body, Uncle, and then transfer your mind to the virtual space like me. Your mind has such potential, because there is already a ready-made in the quantum entanglement spiral of your mind. data channel."

Ren Zhong pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and sighed: "This is a difficult multiple-choice question."

"Yes. But risks and benefits coexist." Sun Ai also sighed, "So this matter has to be decided by you, uncle. I can only provide you with information. In addition to immortality, the new gene also It will completely change your carbon-based life characteristics, Uncle, and further transform your physique. The manifestation of this transformation is somewhat similar to that of a sublimator, which can make your muscles, bones, tendons, blood vessels, internal organs, and brain, etc. All organs and the cells that make up these organs have a strength that far exceeds the upper limit of the carbon-based life theory. But you are different from the sublimator. The genetic variation of the sublimator is always on the surface, while your transformation involves the depth of information flow. "

"At that time, your appearance will not change much. Your body will still be composed of hydrocarbons, but your 'carbon' will be very different from other people's 'carbon'. In short, you The reproductive isolation from ordinary humans will be increased by at least [-] million times from the current basis. It is still possible for you to leave offspring now, but it is absolutely impossible for you after the transformation."

"I understand." Ren Zhong pondered for a moment, and then asked: "What is the probability of the transformation failing?"

"Five or five."

"Fifty percent? I see, I'll think about it first."

After speaking, just as the heavy-duty low temperature recovery was over, he walked out of the low temperature chamber, put on his coat, sat down on a chair, and took out his notebook.

His notebook full of numbers has been destroyed by him personally, and the number on it stays at 7740 forever.

He changed to a new notebook.

He began to analyze the pros and cons one by one in a new notebook by handwriting.

Disadvantage:

First, the failure rate is 50.00%. After failure, you can only live in the virtual world and become the real behind-the-scenes.

Second, even if you succeed, you must accept the fate of no future.There will be no Ren family to inherit his dream, and he has to solve all problems by himself.

Advantage:

First, as long as there is no accidental death, you will be close to eternal life, and you will not have to worry about longevity, and you can use your infinite life and time to promote your career.This will not only allow him, the earl, to gain a new and huge advantage over other competitors, but also solve the disadvantages of having no heirs that have emerged so far.

Second, the physique beyond the upper limit of carbon-based life can make him the first planetary-level and star-level individual strongman in the history of the Mechanical Empire.This will not only quickly improve his status within the Mechanical Empire, but also allow the Red Front Clan to gain top-notch combat power that no one else has.

Ren Zhong thought about it again, and he already possessed the top quality of the human traits of the mechanical empire. After the transformation, he could have a super long lifespan and a super strong body similar to a sublimator. The complete upload of consciousness and the data channel in the brain gave him a certain level of quality. The characteristics of a pilgrim to a certain degree, as for the predictive ability obtained by communicating with the cosmic information flow, it is actually one of the ultimate abilities that high-level psychic demons dream of.

In other words, if you take this gamble, you will have the opportunity to allow yourself, a primitive human from the 21st century, to obtain all the advantages of the four human branches at the same time.

Faced with such an important decision, he actually only considered it for 15 minutes before he tried to use his foreknowledge to peek into the future.

After a long time, he said slowly, "It's done."

He made a choice.

After he made his decision, Sun Ai immediately began to complete the final preparations, mainly to make various plans to ensure the success rate of the transformation as much as possible.

It will take some time, but it is just enough for Ren Zhong to take the opportunity to make some final struggles on the matter of leaving future generations.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed, and Ren Zhong had stored a large amount of genetic material carriers, amounting to tens of billions.

Don't ask him how he did it, it's a state secret.

During this period, Zheng Tian completed a fatal blow to the Golden Dog main battle fleet, and quickly swept away a large number of small and medium-sized garrisons with lightning speed.

Now the expedition fleet is entering a period of silence again, heading straight to the station of the golden dog, and will arrive in 3 years.

At this time, the scale of the expedition fleet became slightly smaller, with only [-] armed warships.
