It was a week after the capture of canon.
The outer walls of the fortress are being rebuilt. The original inner and outer walls have become ruins in the previous battle, and only about ten meters of walls are barely retained on both sides. It will take at least nearly a month to repair to the previous level, but that makes no sense. The reason is that the design of the fortress was a product of 20 years ago. Under the threat of high-level talents and various heavy firepower, the external wall defense of the concrete structure is optional.
Zero originally meant to use local materials to build a 10 meter high mixed material wall with the wood of the Emerald Forest and the stone of the ruins. Defensive power is no longer considered. The main function of this high wall is to support heavy firepower equipment including heavy artillery, and use a powerful firepower network to replace the defensive capacity of the city wall.
But now, metal armor plates up to 20 meters high have been transported to the fortress. They were accurately erected on the city wall under the hoisting of the crane. The workers were welding and welding armor plates into a metal city wall. Billy and his technical team are commanding near the construction site, and Franklin even came on personally to help the workers speed up their work.
Steel supports with a width of 30 cm are connected to the armor plate and the city wall at an inclined angle. With the thick screws locking the supports, they are like giant arms extending obliquely from the ground to the sky to support the armor wall. These supports will strengthen the impact resistance of the armored wall. With them, it is difficult to blow up all the walls at the same time, even if the missile concentrated fire attack.
The original city gate was replaced by two armored plates with a thickness of 20 cm, and the device to start them was replaced with a hydraulic mechanical system. They will be installed at the end. Now the materials and machinery are temporarily parked in the open space outside the Great Wall.
When the entire exterior wall is updated, the defense of cannon fortress will jump several levels. I was able to get these materials because I swept several towns near the fortress with Manshan and 200 soldiers a few days ago.
On the afternoon of the second day after the capture of Canon, zero took Manshan and soldiers north along the blood stained Road, and found two towns hundreds of kilometers away, namely mengge town and Mali town. As expected, these two towns are actually supply bases for the fortress, but over the years, due to the increase of factories and workers, a small town with a population of about 2000 people has gradually formed.
At that time, Essien's fleeing team came to the two towns to rest and had a battle with zero. The battle situation was naturally one-sided, zero or even no action. Manshan and his team defeated the deserter with a rolling attitude. The battle took place just outside the town of Mali, and it took only half an hour. When they entered the town, the bodies of three or four hundred knights had been left outside the town.
Then it went well. Zero took over two towns. Food processing plants, water purification plants and a steel plant are concentrated in the two towns. The steelmaking plant was completely unexpected. A whole batch of armor plates and steel supports were found in the warehouse of the plant. After inquiry, it turned out that it was intended to update the outer wall of the fortress next spring.
If it were not for zero, they would attack the fortress first. After cannon updated his defense system, the attack would not be so smooth.
Two days after taking over the two towns, an army of the Knights came towards Mongo. This is a team of 1000 people, and more than 10 Paladin mecha are carried on two trucks. Outside Mongo Town, zero side was attacked by strong artillery fire. Finally, zero destroyed the paladins' mecha, disintegrated the heavy firepower of the knights, and then defeated the army with Manshan.
That night, after leaving the bodies of more than half of the soldiers, the Knights did not rush back. Zero immediately transferred a force of five hundred men from cannon, and belien came with the team. It was night. After meeting zero, he entered at full speed. He ran 200 kilometers late at night and sneaked into another town, Tucson. Tucson is strictly regarded as a military base. It is a thousand troops under the 2nd Corps.
The commander is the deputy commander of the 2nd corps, mesa, a seventh level capable person. After receiving the fall of Canon, the connection learned that the two towns of mengge had also fallen into the hands of zero. Importantly, when the soldiers who escaped from Mali town learned that zero had brought 200 soldiers, mesa immediately mobilized nearly 90% of the soldiers in the base to Mongo town to recapture the two towns at one stroke.
But mesa was still afraid of each other's ability, so he sent only one major as a commander. But when he learned of the outcome, he was still shocked. Ten Paladin mecha were completely destroyed, and most of the troops were killed and injured. You know, there are only 200 enemy troops!
When zero took belien, Manshan and a force of 500 people into the base, mesa didn't even have the mind to resist. She escaped from the base with her personal guards all night. So the battle of the base ended in less than 10 minutes, which was full of belien's powerful thunder system ability. Under the capable people in the High-level element domain, the army composed of ordinary people was no different from the lamb to be slaughtered. When belien raised his hands and feet, all kinds of powerful abilities exploded, and the army of the base fell in pieces.
In such a situation, the commander of the base fled again, and the soldiers soon lost their resistance. Two hundred soldiers finally surrendered. They let zero temporarily take them into custody, and Tucson, a special town composed of military bases and peripheral houses, fell into zero's pocket.
There are no processing plants in Tucson, and its supplies are also supplied by Mongo and Mali. There are more than 1000 residents in Tucson Town, of which four or five hundred are workers, and others are responsible for some simple work. For example, the cleaning and facility maintenance of cities and towns. The place where workers usually work is in the military base, where there is an arsenal.
Most of the work of the arsenal is the production of some spare parts for the second generation Griffin knights, while others are the special rifles, grenades, missiles and other equipment of the Knights. Zero seized a unit's inventory, mainly ammunition. In the warehouse, a batch of armour pieces that were not used for anything were also found. Only after the supervisor explained that these were the special armours of the fourth generation "empty angel".
It can be seen from this that the UAV "empty angel" of the fourth generation of mecha studied by the papal hall has reached the stage of close to mass production. However, the external mecha required by the air angel is very special. In addition to rare materials, the requirements of refining and metal processing technology are also very strict. Even if it can be mass produced, I'm afraid the amount of output is very limited.
However, no matter how limited, a fourth generation mecha that can have the mobility of Griffin knight and paladin firepower is also a great threat to high-level.
Even though it is still not comparable to level 9, the number of level 9 is limited, and the empty angel can be produced in mass.
Mass production is not only an advantage, but also a threat!
After occupying Tucson, zero asked people to take the supervisor and the information about the empty Angel back to canon. The supervisor and materials are handed over to Billy. In the hands of Billy, an expert, these materials will become an important basis for studying the anti air control Angel strategy. As for the arsenal, all Griffin knight armor will be stopped from the date of zero control, and all will be put into the production of other equipment.
It can be said that the value of Tucson town is only lower than that of Canon because of this arsenal.
So far, with Canon as the starting point and Tucson as the end point, the range of nearly 500 kilometers south of the blood stained road is under the control of zero. Zero left only a small number of soldiers stationed in Mali and Mongo. Their most important task is to maintain law and order on weekdays. In Tucson, zero transferred Su to replace Manshan, and 500 soldiers stayed.
The two hundred surrendered Knights scattered them and sent them to work in the wood mine of the Emerald Forest and the cloud iron mine of the eternal mountains.
Zero took Manshan back to Kanon fortress. Most of the slaves who had fled into the Emerald Forest had obeyed the call and returned. There were more than 5000 slaves in this part. Zero announced on the spot that they were no longer slaves, but workers, and each received two gold coins. In front of gold coins and food, these slaves finally knew that they had the opportunity to change their fate, and they all supported zero very much.
With workers, three oil well platforms can be started. Only half of the workers came back, and zero had to give priority to the platform operation of oil wells. As for mu mine and Yun iron mine, a small number of workers are assigned. However, a few days later, the first batch of workers recruited from the outer islands arrived at the fortress. They had a total of 2000 people and were soon assigned to work in two mines.
Next, workers and soldiers recruited from the outer islands arrived one after another, so Kanon fortress became very lively and full of vitality.
Standing under the roof of the main building of the fortress, overlooking the busy scene below. The workers in and out are like dense worker ants, and the fortress is a nest. The worker ants worked hard and made the nest stronger and stronger with their own behavior. In another week, the basic installation of the armored wall will be completed. Then there is the installation of city gate and hydraulic machines, and finally the configuration of heavy fire points.
After all this is done, the defense of important cases will jump several levels in a row. Seeing this, hook was calm on the surface, but there were waves of shock in his heart.
"Can't believe it?"
Manshan's voice came from behind. Looking back, hook saw Manshan's fat body moving hard like a hill. He sat down on the roof with his hands around his chest, looked at the bottom and said, "our head is really capable. To be honest, I never expected to sit on the roof of Canon fortress one day."
"That man will lead us into a new era. No, to be exact, we are already in a new era," muttered hook.
"Yes, how long has it been since Poseidon's order? We have stepped into this continent. I thought we would never have a chance in this life." Manshan scratched his head and said, "in fact, I wonder if we would have hit this continent now if we had united earlier, instead of relying on an outsider."
"Outsider?" Hooke looked at Manshan and narrowed his eyes. "This is a dangerous title."
Man Shan laughed and said, "come on, hook. Don't pretend. Don't tell me. You're really willing to be his man?"
"Oh, so you're not reconciled."
Manshan was silent for a moment and said, "are you willing?"
Hook is silent.
Manshan said, "a few days ago, we laid a military base called Tucson. You know."
"Yes."
"We soon transferred the female swordsman to su. Hey, replace me with this woman and bring me back. After all, he still doesn't trust us." Man Shan touched his bald head and said faintly.
"It's normal," Hooke said calmly: "And that's always a high rank. If the Pope's hall calls, Tucson will immediately become the front line. I don't think there's anything wrong with letting a ninth rank sit there. As for the question of trust, as you said, how long has it been since the Poseidon order? I don't think I can build enough trust. Just like you treat him as an outsider?"
"In the future, if Rome is captured one day, maybe people will treat us as pirates. After all, we have a criminal record."
Hook looked at him and said, "you may not think too much, Man Shan. I have to remind you. Your idea is very dangerous."
Hook turned silently and left the roof.
Man Shan still touched his bald head and murmured, "danger? I don't think so, but I think it's necessary to plan for myself."
At this time, several off-road vehicles came out from the Emerald Forest. One of them was a woman, olan. Manshan whistled and disappeared on the roof with a smile.
In the main building of the fortress, a room on the fifth floor has been transformed into a laboratory. Destiny, which arrived at the fracture bay a few days ago, not only brought Billy and his technical leader, but also the doctor Jiya. This female student brought out by Victor has the ability of low-order perception domain, which can not be applied to the battlefield, but has great influence on Jiya's research Great help.
At least some links like X-ray fluoroscopy, Dr. Jiya only needs to look with her eyes, and a lot of time is omitted. Nothing can be seen from the local part, but in the long run, the time saved by Jiya can not be ignored.
Capable people, no matter from which level, have incomparable advantages.
After arriving at Kanon fortress, zero has cleared a room as her laboratory. At the same time, someone has brought in some necessary equipment on destiny, and the release of the room has been completed in half a day. Now there is an operation and some simple equipment and facilities. As for more complete equipment, it takes time to buy it.
Anyway, with this laboratory, Lei Ming's body can be analyzed routinely.
At that time, leiming's body was saved by Keaton with ice flame. Under the equipment in Jiya's hand, the body of the army commander has become some parts. His chest has been completely opened, and a chest expander has opened it, which is already a cavity. As for the original instrument officials, they have been raised one after another in the past two days and soaked in containers filled with nutrient solution, Keep it active.
Thunder has died, but his organs still maintain incredible vitality. According to Jiya, they are living lives. The preliminary report on thunder has been summarized and passed to zero.
Zero is sitting in the command room of the main building. In his mind is a report about thunder.
Dr. Jiya preliminarily judged that Lei Ming was not a human being, but something like an artificial human. An artificial human is not a cloned human. The latter is a life born by cloning a human gene, which can be regarded as a replica of the original gene owner. However, an artificial human is a creation out of thin air. In fact, Lei Ming is like this.
Although he looks like a man, after tearing off that layer of human skin, he shows all kinds of biological organs and artificial fiber pipes with high-tech content. Even 20% of the tissue of Lei Ming's brain is non biological structure. That is the core processor of Lei Ming's brain. Ji Ya's evaluation of it is no less than a super intelligent brain.
As for others, whether the heart or other internal organs, they are biological organs. They are independent individuals, but they skillfully form a main body. Their all function is to supply eighth order energy to thunder and convert the energy into high-frequency pulse current, which can disguise thunder as a high-order element domain power.
In fact, thunder is more like a human weapon.
In general, thunder is not human, not even life. In addition to the internal organs of the brain, his muscle tissue is only a bionic grass-roots. What connects the internal organs and the body is not blood vessels, but energy conduits. Even those eyes are also electronic eyes, which have various functions such as long-range vision, accurate positioning, multi-mode vision and screenshots.
In this way, zero can explain why killing thunder can't get an evolution point. We haven't heard of the example that destroying inanimate bodies can get an evolution point. That's because inanimate bodies don't have the characteristics of self evolution, so they can't bring an evolution point to destroyers.
However, Lei Ming is still valuable, and his biological organs have a great impact on Ji ya. The doctor has locked himself in the laboratory for several days and did not appear. In addition to sending food to her from time to time, and she threw the research results to zero, Ji Ya seems to evaporate from the world.
Looking at these reports, I tapped my finger on the table. Twenty years ago, there was an eighth order man like thunder, so the achievements of the papal hall in the field of science and technology can not be ignored. However, it seems that the entire papal hall is also an artificial man like thunder, and since thunder, the papal hall has focused its research on mecha.
In other words, the resources used by high-level man-made people like thunder must be very huge, so the papal hall did not continue on this road. From the perspective of visitors from mainland China, the papal hall actually touched the threshold of biological weapons long ago, and it is still a very high-level threshold. Unfortunately, it is limited by resources and did not continue to study, However, this seems to be no problem for zero. Behind him, in addition to the whole alien Federation, there is the city of dawn under construction and asgat, a powerful ally.
Lei Ming's body may be a reference. After improving and improving the use of materials, it is not impossible to mass produce eight levels of ability. Zero doesn't have to produce an eighth order man-made man out of thin air. As long as the heart enough to provide eighth order energy can be suitable for living people, zero can make a person with fifth or sixth order ability fall into a high order by implanting foreign organs.
Even if they no longer have the possibility of continuous evolution, an eighth order army that can produce in mass is a terrorist force sweeping the mainland!
So in Jiya's feedback column, zero tapped down some of his ideas.
