After listening to Lin Zhengyang's story, Mr. Wei's heart immediately sank. He quickly called for the engineer to ask more detailed questions.
It's a bit unfortunate for them to say that because the geothermal energy extractor is too large, they split it into 20 armored vehicles.
Of the 20 armored vehicles, only 3 vehicles were carrying important parts, but unfortunately, one of them was blown up.
"Is there really no way to fix it?" After a little silence, Wei Tianxing asked.
"We don't have enough technical reserves, and those are high-end precision equipment. There is no instrument to repair this equipment in the shelter. We don't even have the opportunity to try." That engineer is also quite helpless.
They have been in contact with this geothermal energy extractor for more than half a year. In addition, with the previous repair work, they also have a deep understanding of this set of equipment. If there are matching repair instruments, they may not be able to try.
However, there are only one or two instruments that can maintain such sophisticated equipment in the 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 a low-power one will do. " Wei Tianxing asked two questions from the side.
But the engineer gave a heartless answer, "no, this is an important part of the converter, without it, the whole equipment will not work."
"Well, it's all my problem. When I've arranged the business here, I'll leave for the East China Sea base immediately, and I'll find those old guys to help me get out this important part." Lin Zhengyang sighed.
If they follow the normal process, it will take at least 4-5 months for them to customize this important part, but he still has some contacts with the military department. If they use these relationships, they should be able to shorten the time 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 had in their hands.
At the beginning, he only made this arrangement out of caution, but now it has become the last hope.
After all, if you re customize the parts, the cost is small, but the important thing is time.
You should know that with the continuous expansion of the abyss channel, the time left for their development has become less and less. If two months are wasted, many plans will have to be postponed.
"You mean the mercenaries? Lao Wei is not what I said about you. Mercenaries, in the final analysis, are just some people with combat experience. They have not received any strict training. It is OK to let them kill zombies, but now they are fighting with the armed forces of Morgan group. "
"I don't mind if you use them as bait to attract the attention of the Morgan group, but they should not be given such an important task." Lin Zhengyang frowned.
In his opinion, the two important parts should be delivered to the military headquarters. Although it is very risky to put eggs in the same basket, it should be better than those in the hands of mercenaries.
"Lao Yang, I don't agree with you. Do you think the present mercenary regiment is the same as it was when the mercenary guild was founded a year ago?"
"I admit that the mercenary regiments at that time were chaotic, and they were no different from the mobs. But after a year's life of cutting and licking blood, do you believe that in this kind of small-scale group war that doesn't need to be commanded, you can definitely fight back and forth with those soldiers in your military headquarters."
"If the mercenary is sent to the real main battlefield, it may not work, but if it is used as a wonder soldier, it can still be expected." Wei Tianxing immediately retorted.
"Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. But don't forget what their location is. It's bait! They are used to attract the forces of Morgan group, and the number of them is absolutely large. Do you think they can make a difference under such circumstances? "
Seeing that Wei Tianxing wanted to retort, Lin Zhengyang immediately added, "and don't forget what order you gave them? You can't do anything. You can leave the goods and run for your life. "
Wang fried!
This sentence suppressed all the words that Mr. Wei wanted to refute.
There are two major differences between the mercenary regiment and the army. The first is discipline. On a small-scale battlefield, the mercenary regiment can still rely on the prestige of the commander. However, if they are gathered together on a large scale and they are really put into the battlefield, they may be scattered.
And the second point is their willpower.
As long as the army receives the order, even if it knows it will die, it will not hesitate to rush up, but the mercenary can not have such a will.Therefore, it is almost the first choice for mercenaries to give up the task when they can't do something. After all, life is more important than anything else.
This is also the essence of military use, which can not be refuted by Wei Lao.
However, although he can't refute it, he still has some hope in his mind when he recalls the information about Lin Xinghai, because the rise of Lin Xinghai is really amazing, and the strength of the other party can not be viewed with normal eyes.
It wasn't long before they received the news that the mercenaries were coming back.
The nine mercenary regiments were divided into three groups, and by this time two had returned.
The first team that came back, the death toll was more than 100. This was because they lost the delivery items at the critical moment, the other party checked the goods, and slowed down the pursuit speed, so that they could escape safely.
As for the second team, it was much worse. More than half of them lost their lives, and even one of the chief mercenaries died.
This is absolutely a devastating blow to the third level mercenary regiment, which is likely to be reduced to the second level mercenary regiment.
As for the protection of transportation goods and so on, let alone, they lost them in the first place.
As a result, Mr. Wei was quite speechless, and he could not blame the other party. After all, this was the order he had given before, and these mercenary regiments had completed their mission as bait.
At the same time, he also got a message from the two big mercenaries, that is, the forces of the encirclement and suppression troops sent by the Morgan consortium were more than half of them.
Moreover, they usually fight with zombies, and it is the first time that they have exchanged fire with humans who also have thermal weapons. This combat experience is not comparable to that of the armed forces on the side of Morgan consortium. Therefore, as soon as the two sides exchange fire, they are pressed to fight.
After hearing these news, Wei Lao's mood suddenly became heavy.
Lin Zhengyang, who is also listening to the news, is not in the mood to dig at his old friend.
He did not hope that these mercenaries could really bring back the important parts, but the performance of the other party was even worse than he thought!
