Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 317

317. Chapter 316, Power Armor Technology

After completing the construction of the army, including the Phoenix War Corps, Gu Hang only had 18,000 grace points left.

In fact, Gu Hang had another small expenditure on the army.

That was the Black Arrow Army.

The army led by Perbov had five divisions of the Alliance, stationed on the Black Arrow Star to help Ness Luman stabilize the domestic situation.

After all, the army of the Luman Kingdom was basically destroyed in the war a year ago. It is not a peaceful place and requires military garrison.

At the same time, Gu Hang also needs an army to ensure the stability of the fruits of victory obtained by the Alliance in the last war.

However, the large Luman Kingdom has a population of 40 million, which is almost as many as the native population of the Angry Owl Star. Although the area is far different, it is unrealistic to rely on a team of less than 50,000 people in five divisions to completely defend it.

The Black Arrow Army of the Alliance basically entrenched in the capital of the Luman Kingdom, the city of Pinser.

The defense of the entire kingdom still depends on the Luman people themselves. Only when there are things that cannot be solved, the Black Arrow Army of the Alliance will be dispatched.

In addition, the number of the Black Arrow Army should not be too small.

Gu Hang has authorized Perbov to recruit soldiers in the Luman Kingdom. The corresponding weapons and equipment will be sent to the Black Arrow Army with the supply ships between the two planets – mainly relying on Gu’s Trading Company, which runs once every six months.

And many extra individual equipment, artillery and the like are used to build new troops.

These troops are different from the local troops of the Luman Kingdom. Gu Hang requires that Perbov must report the new troops absorbed into the Black Arrow Army to the Alliance Military and Political Department and follow the establishment process of the Alliance regular army; at the same time, it is required that the initial proportion of officers in this unit is more than 70% of the Alliance people; 10% of the total number of troops are Alliance people.

On this basis, the Alliance Military and Political Department will grant this unit a formal Alliance Army number and it will be affiliated with the Black Arrow Army. All those who join the army will be given a probation period, and they can directly obtain the military rank and citizenship of the Alliance. After obtaining the Alliance ID card, they can be promoted to the rank and position in the army normally.

The team established on Black Arrow Star has 7 divisions, totaling more than 40,000 people. Their regulations are based on the third-line troops such as the garrison division.

This is also normal.

The Alliance’s elite and heavy weapons and equipment are not enough for its own regular troops, and there is also a lack of transportation capacity to send them to Black Arrow Star.

Only some light weapons and backward towed artillery are transported. At most, there are heavy explosive guns in the double digits.

Even ammunition supply and part of the weapons production have to fall to the local area of the Kingdom of Luman.

Fortunately, the G series light weapons production line that overflowed from Weixing City before has been transferred and shipped to Black Arrow Star by shipping. Although the production capacity is still average, it can at least make up for part of the gap.

The training of more than 40,000 people, as well as the more than 4,000 people separated from the original regular troops of the Black Arrow Group Army, are all required to be supplemented for training.

Fortunately, Gu Hang didn’t need to go.

After the seven Black Arrow Star Garrison Divisions were established, they achieved the required ratio of direct officers and soldiers in the [Soldier Card] system, which was directly reflected in it. Gu Hang only needed to click and spend more than 400 points of grace to complete the training of more than 40,000 people.

…

After completing the training of the Black Arrow Star Army, the remaining 18,000 points of grace were the grace points that Gu Hang was about to use for the technology lottery.

Without saying a word, he first found the completed [Phoenix is dying] in the event function, limited the space warrior technology, and then invested 6,000 points of grace and made six consecutive draws of 1,000 levels.

The prize pool of 1,000 levels is already very barren, with only 2.5% of the elite level probability and only 20% of the advanced level.

Three out of six draws, two advanced level wins, and one basic level win.

This is already considered very lucky.

The two advanced levels are [Hot Melt Weapons] and [Rhino Troop Carrier]; the basic level is [Single Soldier Rocket Nest].

These three technologies… can be considered as special supplies for Space Marines. Thermite is used for Space Marines with strong individual combat capabilities. When facing some big guys, they can directly deal fatal damage to them. For example, when encountering something like a Titan mecha, the bolter and the chain sword can’t deal with it, but a melta bomb can solve it. It

is useful for Space Marines. After all, they are really capable of breaking through the outer defenses of these big things, rushing to their faces to place bombs and then drifting away.

Other troops can also use it. After all, when a single soldier encounters something that needs to be blasted, conventional explosives are not as reliable as melta bombs.

The Rhino troop carrier is indeed the most commonly used vehicle for major Space Marine chapters.

Compared with the Walker Infantry Fighting Vehicle, the Rhino is larger, heavier, thicker in armor, and has more powerful firepower and load capacity. There is also a special interface on it that can be connected to the Space Marine power armor, allowing these supermen to directly use their consciousness to control the vehicle through the black shell of the epidermis.

In other words, in the hands of mortals, this is a heavy-duty infantry fighting vehicle; but in the hands of Space Marines, such a big thing can be used to produce extremely elegant and flexible effects, and the performance is completely different. If

mortal troops must use Rhinos, it is fine, but it is a waste. After all, the cost of Rhinos is five times that of Wanderers.

The same is true for individual rocket pods. Compared with ordinary rocket launchers, they are larger, heavier, and have more ammunition, plus they have a power armor interface. Ordinary soldiers can also use them, but they have to use a vehicle to carry them; and they can’t be like Space Marines, who can fire at the thought of a thought, and their accuracy is greatly increased.

These pieces of equipment have strengthened the Phoenix Regiment… It can’t be said that there is no improvement, but in fact it is not great.

For example, the hot melt bomb, the Alliance couldn’t make it before, but it can be bought, and it’s not too expensive; the Rhino troop carrier cannot be popularized in mortal troops because of cost and efficiency issues, but if it is only used on Phoenix, they have about 30 people, and four units are enough. The demand is so small that it is better to buy than to make.

Only the rocket nest is still somewhat useful, but it is not used on the Space Marines. Instead, it can be thrown to the military industry department of the Alliance, remove the corresponding control system, and install it on armored vehicles or directly on trucks to make it a vehicle-mounted rocket launcher to enhance the firepower of the artillery unit.

To put it bluntly, it is not that these equipment are not good, but that they cannot be scaled up, so there is no need to make them by ourselves. There are only more than 30 Space Marines in total. What equipment can’t be bought separately? It is not cost-effective to spend a lot of time and effort to pull a production line just to serve more than 30 people.

Of course, as a technical reserve, it is still needed.

In essence, this problem is not caused by technological garbage, but by the small number of Phoenixes.

The core reason for restricting the growth of the number of Phoenixes is, on the one hand, the number of people, and on the other hand, the power armor.

Next, Gu Hang was counting on the last 10,000 points of grace, and the lottery in the 10,000 level.

In the 10,000 level, there is a 60% chance of getting elite technology. In addition, the space marine technology is limited, and the tactical power armor itself is also elite. Overall, the chances are pretty good.

Of course, if you encounter the 30% chance of epic technology, and directly get the manufacturing technology of the Terminator power armor… that would be a bit tricky, and I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Gu Hang rubbed his hands, prayed a little, and clicked it.

The last 10,000 points of grace disappeared like water, and in the end, what he got was as expected.

[The fourth generation ‘Wealthy’ tactical power armor]

really hit the mark!

But soon, the smile on Gu Hang’s face faded.

It was great to draw the power armor technology he wanted. Now, there are several new recruits in the Phoenix who have grown into superhuman organs and have no armor to wear, not to mention that he has spent 15,000 gift points to train 20 new Phoenix recruits. These

people don’t have to worry about wearing power armor.

But the problem is that Gu Hang drew the fourth generation of “majestic” power armor.

So far, Gu Hang has made up for the relevant knowledge of space warriors.

He also knows a lot about the situation of power armor.

At present, the space warriors in the empire wear a lot of power armor models, but the various complicated models are probably developed on the basic models of a certain generation.

The most basic space warrior power armor is clearly nine generations.

But it doesn’t mean that the newer the generation, the better. In fact, in the past ten thousand years, let alone power armor, the entire empire has not only not made progress in many technologies, but has regressed.

The Mechanicus’s scientific research mainly relies on archaeology, which may not be a joke. After the great discontinuity, the technological level of mankind has a huge gap from the golden age of mankind before the establishment of the Empire; it is even slightly inferior to when the Emperor was still on earth.

Many generations of power armor are still in production, but the output varies.

For example, in the Empire, the most active power armor model is the eighth generation “Skyhawk”, which is the power armor equipped by all the Phoenixes now.

This eighth generation is not the most because of its awesomeness, but because of its mature technology, easy mass production, simple maintenance, and good performance. Comprehensively speaking, it stands out from the crowd.

The fourth generation “Great” type that Gu Hang just drew is another type. It has excellent performance, but it is difficult to produce and maintain. To date, there are not many fourth generation armors left. In some war groups with a heavier history, this kind of armor is even a “holy object” that has been passed down for thousands of years. Only the best warriors can wear it. It is a symbol of honor.

It is said that some war groups and individual forge worlds still have the ability to produce this kind of armor, but the output is probably pitifully small.

Well, then the question is, Gu Hang can now mass produce it here.

Later, I am afraid that all the Phoenix members will be equipped with the “Great” type.

Although this is not a sin, but… it is too eye-catching.

But what can be done?

Gu Hang sighed deeply.

Can it be put aside and not used?

There is a problem, and it will be solved later.

For the power armor, the black box can pull out two units per month.

This is equivalent to giving it for free.

In addition, he took a rough look at the power armor technology. The Alliance has the basic technical ability to pull out a production line and mass produce it.

The various technologies that should be pulled out have been pulled out, such as ceramic steel technology, compressed energy technology, and high-energy anti-gravity engine technology…

But because there are many technical difficulties in the “Great” power armor itself, even if the production line is made with the mother machine black box, the production operation requires a lot of people.

The difficulty of mass production will not be small. It is estimated that the subsequent self-production speed will be about three units per month.

The main reason is that although the amount of work is not large, it requires too many high-tech workers. Many processes require people at least at the technical specialist level to use production machines to build.

But as long as it can be produced, it’s fine.

This is five units a month. When this batch of new Phoenix blood grows up, it will not only be enough for them to wear, but there will even be surplus.

The rest can be kept for future use.

If it really doesn’t work, secretly pull it out and sell it. Ordinary power armor costs 50,000 per set, and it can sell at least 100,000 per set – if historical factors are not counted.

…

Fifty thousand points of grace will bring great changes to the Alliance.

Although the extracted technology basically falls on the exclusive use of Space Marines, and the stimulus to the economy is not that great, military construction and talent construction have brought strong development momentum to the Alliance.

Moreover, the Alliance itself still has great development potential to be released. In addition to the industrial center of Weixing City, many places in the Alliance are still in a state of disrepair. A large amount of manpower has not been fully utilized. On a piece of wasteland, people are urgently needed to contribute their efforts to rebuild their homes.

When Osena reported to Gu Hang, she said that she was sure that by the time the next imperial tax was paid, which was one and a half years later, the per capita output value of Weixing City would be above 3.5, and the per capita output value of the world would be above 1.

This means that based on the current population, the annual output value of the alliance can reach 65 million tax coins.

Gu Hang was of course satisfied with this. His prime minister promised him a two-year GDP growth target of 20%. What was he dissatisfied with?

What’s more, his prime minister may have overlooked the difficulty of this promise.

Because the population of the alliance cannot help but grow.

In addition to the local policy of encouraging childbirth, a large number of immigrants from other places are also indispensable.

During Gu Hang’s recent trip to Koroga 3, he brought a group of soldiers from the Angry Bear Legion to rotate the troops that were originally fighting on Koroga 3.

In addition, he also dispatched the 21st to 25th, a total of 5 garrison divisions, plus the 59th Mechanized Brigade, and a large amount of ammunition supplies to Koroga 3.

So far, the number of soldiers fighting on Koroja 3 will reach 100,000.

The reason for this battle is to support our fellow human beings and do our part.

But in reality, what Gu Hang did was the same as other forces’ plundering’ Koroja 3.

I have helped you so wholeheartedly, so it is only right for me to help you evacuate some more refugees, right?
