After hearing Lin Zhengyang's remarks, Old Wei's heart sank immediately, and he hurriedly called the engineer for more detailed inquiries.
Speaking of this, they are also a bit unlucky. You must know that because the geothermal energy extractor is too large, they split it up and transported it into 20 armored vehicles.
Among the 20 armored vehicles, only 3 vehicles transported important parts, but by coincidence, one of the armored vehicles was blown up.
"Is there really no way to fix it?" Wei Tianxing asked a little reluctantly after being silent for a while.
"Our technical reserves are not enough, and those are high-end sophisticated equipment. There is no instrument for repairing such equipment in the shelter, and there is no chance to even try it." The engineer was also quite helpless.
They have been in contact with this geothermal energy extractor for more than half a year. Coupled with the previous repair work, they also have a deep understanding of this equipment. If there is a matching repair instrument, they may not be able to try it.
It's just that there are only one or two instruments that can repair such cutting-edge precision equipment in those large bases with scientific research laboratories. As for their medium-sized shelters, don't even think about them.
"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 low-power ones 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 whole set of equipment will not work at all."
"Hey, this is all my problem. After I have arranged things here, I will immediately set off for the East China Sea base, and I will also look for those old guys to help me get this important part. Come out." Lin Zhengyang said with a sigh.
If they want to re-customize this important part according to the normal process, it will take at least 45 months, but he still has some contacts in the military. If these connections are used, the time should be shortened to two months.
"Wait! We still have hope, don't forget these important parts, we have customized two sets." Wei Tianxing shook his head.
That's right, what Mr. Wei said was exactly the set of important equipment that Lin Xinyang and the others had.
At the beginning, he only made this arrangement out of prudence, but now it has become the last hope.
After all, if you re-customize parts, the money is a small matter, but the time is important.
You must know that with the continuous expansion of the abyss passage, there is less and less time left for their development. If two months are wasted, many plans will be postponed.
"You mean those mercenary groups? I'm not talking about you, Old Wei, mercenaries are just some people with combat experience, they haven't undergone any rigorous training at all, and it's okay for them to kill zombies, but now they are with The armed forces of the Morgan Consortium fought."
"You use them as bait to attract the attention of the Morgan consortium. I have no problem, but it should not be given to them with such an important task." Lin Zhengyang said with a frown.
In his opinion, the two important parts should be handed over to the military for transportation. Although it is very risky to put eggs in the same basket, no matter how big it is, it should be better than putting them in the hands of those mercenary groups.
"Lao Yang, I don't agree with what you said. 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 all messy, and they were no different from the rabble, but after a year of life licking blood, believe it or not, in this small-scale team battle that doesn't require much command, it is absolutely possible to compete with Those soldiers in your army fought back and forth."
"If mercenaries are sent to the real main battlefield, it may not be possible, but if they are used as extraordinary soldiers, then we can still look forward to it." Wei Tianxing immediately retorted. First launch www.m.
"Xingxingxing, even if you are right, it is in a situation of evenly matched power. But don't forget what their positioning is, that is a bait! They are used to attract the forces of the Morgan consortium, and attract There are absolutely a lot of them, do you think they can still make a difference under such circumstances?"
Seeing that Wei Tianxing was about to refute, Lin Zhengyang immediately added, "And don't forget what order you gave them? Nothing can be done, you can leave the delivery items and run for your life."
Wang fried!
This sentence held back everything Old Wei wanted to refute.
The biggest difference between a mercenary group and an army is in two points. 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 it is thrown into the battlefield, it may be a mess of loose sand.
And the second point, that is their willpower.
As long as the army receives an order, even if it knows that it will die, it will not hesitate to rush to it, but it is impossible for mercenaries to have such a will.
Therefore, seeing that something cannot be done, giving up the mission is almost the first choice of mercenaries. After all, life is more important than anything else.
This is also the essence of using soldiers, and Wei Lao 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 the rise of Lin Xinghai is really amazing, and the opponent's strength cannot be viewed in a normal way.
It didn't take long for them to receive the news of the return of these mercenary groups.
The nine mercenary groups were divided into three teams, and two teams had already returned at this time.
The first team that came back had more than 100 deaths. This was because they lost their delivery items at a critical moment, and the other party checked the items and slowed down the speed of the pursuit before they were able to escape safely.
As for the second team that escaped, it was much worse. They lost more than half of the number, and even a mercenary leader died in battle.
This is definitely a devastating blow to that third-level mercenary group, and it is very likely that it will be reduced to a second-level mercenary group later.
Not to mention the protection of transport items and the like, they were thrown away in the first place.
This result made Wei Lao quite speechless, and he couldn't blame the other party for anything. After all, this was also the order he gave 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 major mercenary groups, that is, the encirclement and suppression team sent by the Morgan consortium has more than half of them.
Moreover, they usually fight with zombies, and this is the first time they have exchanged fire with humans who also hold hot weapons. This combat experience is incomparable with the armed forces of the Morgan consortium, so as soon as the two sides exchange fire, they will be crushed. beat.
After hearing these news, Wei Lao's mood suddenly became a little heavy.
Lin Zhengyang, who was also listening to the news, was no longer in the mood to ridicule his old friend.
Why doesn't he hope that these mercenary groups can really bring back important parts, but the performance of the other party is worse than he imagined!
