"Platoon 2, 3, 4, 6."
"Platoon Leader present!" the reply came into Zhang Qin Feng's ear through vibration. But having four responses at the same time feels irritating when it fluctuated.
"What's the status so far? Is there any further attack from the Titanfall?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"So far, the Titanfall remained quiet." Han Niu replied.
"Are you confident if I'm sending you guys over to hunt them?" Zhang Qin Feng's question sounds underestimating them, but its better than overestimating their own ability.
"We're confident, sir! Please allow Niu Ke and I to be the vanguard on this mission." Han Niu quickly replies. As the final four platoons to reach the Alliance Fortress, they're yet to encounter any battle against the Titanfall.
"Good." Zhang Qin Feng stops tapping his finger on the table.
"I believe you guys been briefed with the Standard Operation Procedure facing the Titanfall. Hunt the Warriors, and reduce their numbers as we collect the Grey Duranium Core." Zhang Qin Feng ordered. The name Duranium quickly caught their attention.
"Sir, Duranium?" Han Niu asked.
"Yes. That's the name of this new material dropped after their life force extinguished. I want all of you to collect as much as possible for me." he added.
"We'll make sure to accomplish this mission! Han Niu out!" the connection to Han Niu's Luna III ended.
"The lieutenants will report to the battlefield as well."

"Yes, Stein?" her call wakes Zhang Qin Feng from his trance.
[Olympus Peak found something new from this new Duranium Element. May I suggest that we used a small part to create a custom, rechargeable power source?]
Unexpectedly, Stein's first answer from using the Duranium is to create a new portable power source. Of course, their size, outlook, and component is going to be far different from the conventional ingot-shape battery.
During Pre-Apocalypse, the Tianlang Electronic's Battery is made from a mixture of Lithium-Lead-Zinc solution, named LL-Zinc Powercell. They're manufactured with a rechargeable scheme to reduce the trash pollution.
But during that time, a piece of Tianlang Electronic Battery is capable of at most, 100kWh capacity. Thus, the Enhancer Module and Battery Bank Module is created for those with higher electricity demand.
In the current apocalypse, the technology is now upgraded to a newer Zinc-Core Fuel Cell, which increases the capacity to 300kWh, but no longer rechargeable. Of course, the Enhancer and Bank Module is still usable.
And right now, Stein's suggestion after using Olympus Peak's computation ability created the newest portable power source.
By using Lithium, Stibium, Plutonium, and Duranium together, the machine is capable of producing a newer Solid-State Battery. The refined solid material, known as Lit-Imony Dura-Monium, is placed on top and bottom as its Anode and Cathode to release power.
Once the Solid Atomic State Battery is out in production, they'll become the first atomic creation in the apocalypse.
From Stein's initial report, a piece of SAS-Battery is capable of producing 1000kW per charge, with 100,000kW holding capacity. The power can be used indefinitely for at least 100 days before the two pieces of solid material needed to be recharged.
As the report came from Stein's emotionless tone, it shows no excitement, but to the ears of Zhang Qin Feng, its fireworks, champagne, and worship.
Even by taking the holding capacity of 100megawatts alone to multiply for a hundred days, that's 10,000megawatts of electricity inside. And that number alone allowed it to be comparable to his Alexis Tower, which is believed to be able to produce 5.36 million megawatts in 100 days.
Just 536 pieces of SAS-Battery is all he needs to replace the Alexis Tower.
[But there's a piece of bad news before we're capable of harnessing the electricity it produces]
"Tell me," Zhang Qin Feng leaned on his comforter and let Stein continue.
[We'll need to scan large quantities of capacitors and voltage conversion to comes up with a proper motor to divide the current]
[Or else, the printing plant is going explode from a sudden surge in the voltage. Even the highest capacity railgun will blow into pieces after firing the projectile]
"What?" Zhang Qin Feng's excitement gets doused like burning fire against a bucket of cold water.
It's like he's possessing a powerful horsepower engine, but not a single frame is capable of supporting it. It's like he has an orchard full of trees, but the soil is getting dried no matter what he did because too many trees feed on it.
Sometimes, overpowered means nothing.
It was the same theory he can see from the Warriors. They have a proper build, strength, but compared to the conventional Titan, a projectile from a railgun is enough to rip it apart. At least, a Titan is capable of withstanding four to six barrage of shells before it collapses!
"Bzzt... Sir, the third wave is there." Cao Ying reported.
The third wave from Titanfall hits harder than the first and second combined. Close to a thousand Warriors came forth with the Elite reptiles and other mutants.
As an example, the Water Lurker with a hard carapace that can stop a railgun's projectile. Although most of them dead from a single strike, it allows the Warrior and Elites to march further.
"Guys, get serious!" Cao Ying shouts.
It wasn't directed to his platoon but the soldiers from other bases. If they're still trying to hide their own trump card in this wave, the Azure Wind soldiers will not tolerate their actions!
"BAM!" a blast from a cannon replied to Cao Ying's howl.
"It's Abraham Tank, It's an Abraham Tank!" the soldiers defending on top of the wall cheered in happiness.
"Look like the Wanshui Group is impatient after getting lectured by you," Cao Zhen jokes around.
"Keep firing, keep firing!" the cheer from the soldiers continues as they request for a continuous shot.
"But they're still keeping themselves together. Elder Lucas said, there are at least seven to eight Abraham Tanks from Wanshui Group, with close to eleven Spider II from Yang Militarized Group. Sending one out is just making fun of us." Cao Ying smirks.
It's not like they don't know about each other's fighting strength.
By firing at an elevated position, it made the Abraham Tank deadlier. With each 10 fusion bomb capacity shell, a shot from this tank caused seven meters of destruction without prejudice.
The burning flames from the explosion tell everyone about the mutant's weakness. Incendiary ammunition is being distributed amongst the soldiers to start laying down suppression fire.
Two sides fought teeth to teeth, with Elites attacking the North and East wall, with the Warriors and Water Lurkers attacking the middle gap. It will spell the defeat of Eastern Alliance if any of this crucial point falls.
But then, two Spider II crawled into their sight.
"Bam! Bam!" explosion happened along their marching path, sending the Elite's formation into disarray. This shows how powerful is the 3rd wave of Titanfall.
"Big brother, they both sent their cards out," Cao Zhen said. The RR-HU in his hand already been placed aside inside the APV and replaced with a remote.
If the spectators focused well on each Azure Wind Soldier, they're fighting without any BSV equipment on them! Not even a Ramrod can be found on their battlefield!
"Are you ready?"
He chuckled.
"Wait. 10 more meters," Cao Ying raised his hand to stop Cao Zhen from pressing the button.
"Big brother, we're recording!" Cao Zhen reminds him.
"Shh! Seven meters," he kept calculating their distance.
"Five! Get your damn thumb ready!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Now!!!" Cao Ying's shout made the soldiers lowered their RR-HU and kneeled on one side. That button Cao Zhen pressed reacted, and flying projectiles can be seen all over the airspace.
"What the hell is the Azure Wind soldiers trying to do?" all soldiers present in this battle stares at the sky as they stopped firing.
"Go get kissed by the Honeybee!" Cao Ying shouts, and bombardment carpeted the entire battlefield. Not a single spot with mutants standing was left untouched.
"The... The Azure Wind boss is crazy!" it was the first time ever in this alliance, that they have the same sentence in their mind.
