Chapter 461: Iron Cavalry Terminator

Power Armor!

This is a good thing!

The Alliance did not have the production capacity of Terminators before, and the one on Martins was bought by Gu Hang.

Moreover, it was an Indomitable Terminator, which was inferior to the Iron Cavalry in terms of performance.

The Iron Cavalry originated from an older era. It was a type of Space Marine Power Armor that was born when the Emperor was still alive and the entire Empire was in a period of great expansion. Later, with the long time and countless turmoil, especially the catastrophe brought by the largest civil war in the Empire, the Empire gradually lost the technology of the Iron Cavalry Terminator.

Just like many technologies from the heyday of the Empire in the past, such as the Great Tactical Power Armor used by Phoenix now, it was lost, but not completely lost. Some forge worlds can still build it, but not many can be built. Perhaps the key components can still be manufactured now, but there is no ability to expand production capacity; perhaps it is because the manufacturing scale of the substitutes is relatively large and these old technologies are not needed…

But in short, Gu Hang did not have these problems when he extracted it from the technology system.

The Iron Cavalry type is better than the most common Unyielding type among the major war regiments now. The technology of the Empire is always like this, the older the better; however, its manufacturing cost is also higher.

And like the Great Power Armor that Gu Hang drew before, it also has a problem: rare and old, which means it is eye-catching.

The craftsmanship of manufacturing the Iron Cavalry type is not common in the Forge World. Can your alliance make it?

However, Gu Hang no longer cares

about this matter. There are more than one or two technologies in the alliance.

He used to be worried, but now he is relatively calm.

Too many lice will not itch.

What’s more, as the alliance grows stronger, he is gradually less worried about similar threats.

With the Iron Cavalry Terminator Power Armor, the strength of the Phoenix Regiment will be taken to the next level. They will be able to form their own Terminator team and charge at the most terrible enemy in the universe!

Of course, the Terminator is not invincible. It is only a little over three meters tall, more than half smaller than the Knight Mecha.

However, if a Terminator veteran fights against a Knight Mech, Gu Hang believes that the Terminator veteran will most likely win.

Both are equipped with energy shields. Due to the size of the Terminator, it cannot be equipped with more powerful weapons like the Knight Mech, but the defense is not much different. Moreover, the Terminator is much more flexible, and the internal operator is a superhuman Space Marine, which basically guarantees that the Knight Mech will kill one by one – as long as the Terminator veteran does not make a fool of himself and compete with the much larger Knight Mech in firepower or machine output, but chooses to win with experience, skills, and flexible tactics.

The Terminator has poor flexibility, which is compared with conventional tactical power armor. Compared with the Knight Mech, it is definitely much stronger.

However, the cost of the Iron Cavalry Terminator is very expensive, basically reaching 1.2 million tax coins per unit. It is half more expensive than the conventional Unyielding Type of 800,000. This may also be one of the reasons why the Iron Cavalry type is currently in low circulation.

But again, there are black boxes that make finished products, and black boxes that pull production lines. The price of this thing made by the Alliance will not be as high as on the market.

What’s more, it’s not a bad idea to spend more money and get more performance.

…

After owning the [Cruiser], [Doomsday Light Spear Array], and [Iron Cavalry Terminator Power Armor], Gu Hang was already very satisfied with the harvest of this technology lottery.

However, among the three elite-level technologies drawn later, two are actually quite good.

[L-type transport ship-Big Belly]

This is a good thing!

Although Jingjing is only elite-level, in fact, its value is not much worse than that of the Moon-class cruiser.

Although the Big Belly is extremely inflexible and very slow, and has no potential to be converted into an armed ship due to the problem of the hull structure, if it is caught acting alone, it will be a pig to be slaughtered in space…

But despite its many shortcomings, there is only one advantage that can make up for everything: it can be loaded.

It is really big, just a little smaller than the Retribution-class battleship. As the name suggests, it has a huge cabin, like a three-dimensional nest city moving in space. If it is used to transport people, it can fit 20 million people.

Because it can accommodate enough people, the scale has been improved, and its transportation cost has been greatly reduced.

Its cost is not expensive, about 1 billion, which is much cheaper than the Crazy Shark-class destroyer.

It is the core ship of mankind in interstellar trade. As long as it can transport goods well for a few years, the cost can be broken down, and the rest is profitable.

In the past, the largest transport ship that the alliance could build was the Whale class. That thing has a loading capacity of only one-tenth of the Giant Belly. In the case of large-scale transportation, the cost is still higher than that of the Giant Belly.

With this thing, it will be easier for the alliance to establish an economic community across star regions in the future. Otherwise, it is definitely unreliable to rely on the inventory of ships of Gu’s Trading Company.

The scale of Gu’s Trading Company has almost reached its limit to withstand the transportation needs within the Tianma Star Region and the transportation needs to the front-line war. It is almost impossible to take into account the large-scale transportation needs required after the integration of the Seven Horses.

The shipyards of the alliance are already running to smoke. In addition to warships, various civilian ships are also being built. In fact, the two major shipyards, even if the small shipyard on Baishuo Star in the Purple Horse Star Region is included, are arguing with all parties. The navy wants the civilian dock to build warships for them, even if it can’t build a proper warship, it has to build armed merchant ships;

the government units and caravans of the alliance are trying hard to pull, the alliance still has to operate, and your army has to produce in the rear when fighting. The transportation of raw materials, the transportation of goods… these civilian ships are the blood vessels of industrial manufacturing. You can make concessions for the war and let some production capacity go out to build armed merchant ships to help your navy transport things and fight, but don’t really leave them all.

The two sides have been arguing with each other and have often fought with Gu Hang.

Now, after the construction of the new giant belly transport ship, this problem cannot be said to be solved, but at least it has been alleviated to a large extent. The construction dock of the giant belly can only be used to manufacture them, after all, it is too big; it cannot be used to build large warships because there is a lack of sufficient technical standards. Moreover, the production of a giant belly has a transportation capacity that is ten times that of the whale class. One ship is equivalent to ten ships, which can make the “blood vessels” of the alliance much smoother.

The second elite technology is the [Dominant Knight Mech].

Its size is much larger than the Ranger class, even close to the level of the War Dog Titan; its combat power can also match the War Dog. Although there is a little gap, it is more flexible than the War Dog Titan-after all, it only needs one person to operate, unlike the War Dog Titan, which requires an operation team.

However, its cost is also very expensive. From the 700,000 of the Ranger Knight, it soared five times to 3.5 million.

This is more expensive than the War Dog Titan, after all, the War Dog only costs 2.3 million.

It is of course a good thing. For many Knight Worlds, the Overlord Knight Mech is a treasure. A knight can drive such a large machine, which has the strength to match the War Dog Titan.

But for the Alliance, it is a bit tasteless.

The Knight families in those Knight Worlds have feelings for this thing, but the Alliance does not. The War Dog is cheap and has a higher combat power. The lack of flexibility is not as valuable as putting an extra piece of armor plate on the front battlefield. After all, if people really want to cover the artillery fire, whether it is a Titan of more than ten meters or a Knight Mech, the little bit of high flexibility is useless. It will be bombarded.

Gu Hang can’t think of a reason to allocate production capacity to the Overlord Knight instead of the War Dog.

Of course, the expansion speed of the War Dog is always limited. When the expansion of production capacity can’t keep up, it’s not impossible to pull out a few Overlord production lines. Moreover, since it has a certain symbolic meaning, the Alliance can also use it to win over some feudal worlds with knight culture within the territory.

Black Arrow Star is of course the most typical example.

In addition to Black Arrow Star, Iron Wing Star in the Iron Horse Star Zone, Juxue No. 7 in the Bianma Star Zone, and Ziyue No. 3 in the Zima Star Zone are also typical feudal worlds with knight traditions. When the Alliance has the ability to manufacture both Ranger-level and Overlord-level knights, the control over these worlds can be greatly increased.

The lords in these knight worlds are not quite the same as those on planets with unified governments. If you really push them to the limit, those knight masters can really be stubborn to the end. Killing a few people and staging a coup will not be very useful. After all, they don’t even have a central government, they are just knight families. If you want to conquer them by force, you may have to fight like Black Arrow Star.

That is definitely not cost-effective.

Political means, trade means, and economic control are more reliable.

The relevant means have been used by the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Alliance. The manufacturing capabilities of the Domination-class Knights will significantly make the various methods of the Alliance more effective on these Knight planets.

From this perspective, the Domination-class Knight Mecha has advantages that the War Dog Titan cannot match.

…

As for the other two technologies, one elite and one advanced, they are both civilian technologies.

The advanced one is a construction engineering vehicle, and the elite one is an improved agricultural planting machine suitable for large-scale plantations.

Civilian technology is also very good, and it is needed to develop the economy.

Gu Hang was quite satisfied with the gains from this lottery.

Although it cost a full 700,000 points of grace, each one can be considered a good thing.

These technologies will also become a powerful engine for the development of the Alliance in the next two years.

And these two years have passed very quickly.
