Thorne went out and did not go straight back to the lounge, but went to the weapons store.
"Hello, Team Leader Thorne!" The man at the front desk immediately saluted in the dark fortress, "Captain Grey King has given the order that from now on, you don't have to sign to enter the weapons vault directly!" "Many thanks!" Thorne nodded and walked into the weapon transformation room.
Viper was already studying the arms he had brought back, wearing his glasses and burying his head in a careful examination of the missile launcher.
"Viper.
""Oh, hi, Team Leader Thorne!"" Viper was very enthusiastic, with adoration in his eyes.
"How about this big guy?" "Fantastic!" Viper had to exclaim, stroking the launcher, loving it, "It's the first time I've seen such a sophisticated, advanced launcher, you know, it's highly integrated fire control system, and it can fire four missiles in a row, tsk, tsk, amazing military product!" "Stu said that the front end of it was scratched by a licker claw, I wonder if it had any effect?" Thorne asked, pointing to the claw marks on the front end of the launcher.
Those two scratches even left a small piece of the front of the launch tube missing.
Viper laughed and said: "Don't worry, no effect at all, the existence of the launch barrel is to a certain extent to protect the shooter, as long as there is no problem in the middle on the line, a little defect in the front does not affect, and this missile can be adjusted to fire, you see here -" Viper said to start fire control computer, pointing to the two buttons on it.
"This red one is the hot launch button, the blue one is the cold launch button, hot launch, is the default launch mode, that is, the missile ignites in the launch barrel out of the trip, the advantage of this mode is that the initial velocity of the missile will be very high, can hit the target faster, also can reduce the target's reaction time, more difficult to dodge, and the missile can be fired continuously, can hit all the missiles in a very short time , causing great damage to large targets in a short period of time.
This cold launch, is to eject the missile, ignite at a distance of five meters from the shooter, and then fly to the target, the advantage of this is safe, and can well protect the launch barrel, use longer, but the disadvantage is that the launch frequency is slow, need the first missile ignition, after flying a certain distance, to launch the second, if the enemy is not much, it is recommended that you use the cold launch, if it is a high-intensity combat, then Use hot launch.
""Got it.
"Thorne nodded, learning more and being sure of Viper's expertise.
"But to be honest, this launcher is made of polymer plastic, not only is it resistant to high temperatures and not easily damaged, but it also has the resistance of a machine gun to blows!" Viper said smoothly copied a hammer, forcefully towards the launcher.
When the sound of sparks, but the emitter intact, just a little broken paint.
"To be able to claw a piece of the front of the launcher off raw, those monsters have definitely evolved to a very high level! It's pretty impressive that you guys made it back in one piece!" Viper said in admiration, "You know, Team A once encountered a raid by three high level lickers, one died and two were injured, and the mission failed.
""It's not comparable, we got advanced weapons and have an absolute firepower advantage in the battle, otherwise, facing ten reinforced lickers, we're afraid we'll be in a bad way!" "Ten, ten lickers? Or reinforced ones?" Viper stammered as his face changed at his words.
"That's right, if we fight hard, I'm afraid we're not sure we can kill three Enhanced Lickers without injury.
" Thorne said modestly.
In fact, on his way back, he had carefully judged the strength of the two sides.
He was confident that if it was just himself, he could kill three Enhanced Lickers in a relatively short period of time, but if he brought his teammates and used normal weapons, he estimated that he could hold off five, and any more than that, he would have trouble keeping his teammates safe.
Viper couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does an enhanced Licker look like?" "It's similar to that licker in the test gun room.
"Thorne nudged his mouth in the direction of the next door.
"Isn't that bulletproof?" Viper was stunned, he still remembered until now how scary the monster in the test chamber was when it broke free, if not for Thorne's superior strength, I'm afraid he would have been out cold.
I can't help but gulp down my saliva when I think about it.
"What's the status of the heavy machine guns?" Thorne digressed.
"Oh, this one's a bit more troublesome.
"Viper put down the launcher, the heavy machine gun mentioned in front of you," the magazine and stabilizing bracket are more damaged, basically is ruined, bracket good to say, I can let the skilled workers as usual to make a new one out, but the magazine will need time tired imitation to work.
But the best method is 3D printing.
""We have a 3D printer?" "No.
"The Viper has both hands in the air.
"And how long would it take you to handcraft a new magazine?" "This ... is almost impossible.
"Viper honestly," the magazine to have a very high strength, to withstand the vibration, withstand the impact of gunpowder, at least to be able to shoot tens of thousands of rounds will not be damaged, this can not rely on our skilled workers can do, they only two people, also level can only use the material to do some simple things, repair the electrical, change a light bulb and so on, let They make something more delicate like a magazine, there is no possibility!" "There is no 3D printer in the team's panel to exchange?" Thorne asked.
Viper flipped through the notebook he had brought with him and shook his head.
"No.
""This is?"" "Oh, this notebook records the various supplies that the Grey King can exchange, and every time he upgrades his base, he releases a list of new supplies that can be exchanged, and we can always compare the supplies on it and make suggestions on whether we need them for his reference.
""Understood, which means I'll have to use the missile launcher first.
"I'm sorry," Thorne said slowly.
"What?" Viper was stunned, "You're picking up the missile launcher, now?" "On the next mission.
""This, I can not make the decision, this kind of high-level weapons, you must apply, after the consent of the Gray King can - ""There is no need for this.
"The voice of the Grey King suddenly came from the direction of the door.
Thorne looked back and saw the lanky figure of the Grey King appear by the door and stride in, stained with some blood, pulling the large revolver from his waist and placing it on the table.
"Something is wrong with the lion's roar, you help me test it.
"The gun was originally called the Lion's Roar, and in retrospect, it did sound a bit like a lion roaring when it fired.
"Okay!" Viper immediately put down the work in his hands and started fiddling with the revolver.
The Gray King turned around and nodded to Thorne, "I just finished a captain's mission, and as soon as I came back, I heard that you finished the mission and got these precious high-class weapons, very good, I am very satisfied!" Thorne smiled, but was still very happy in his heart, to be recognized by others gave him an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, as if an ordinary person, suddenly became a big man with privileges and everyone's respect.
"Viper, in the future, whatever weapons Thorne needs can be collected directly without application, this is my order!" The Gray King said slowly, word by word.
"Yes, Captain Grey King!" Viper immediately responded, while glancing enviously at Thorne, which was a great honor.
The Grey King squad has never had anyone get such a privilege, so it seems that the Grey King must have valued Thorne extremely.
"As for the 3D printer you just said, I will send people to ask for information, you know, there are things that can not be exchanged, but it does not mean that they do not exist in this world, although this era, 3D printers may not have been invented, but some advanced machine tools that can process military products may not be absent.
"I'm sorry," said the Gray King, who had apparently been standing outside the door listening for a while.
"Thanks!" Thorne also had to say thank you, the Grey King did value himself and did his best to meet his demands.
"It looks like you've been through a big battle and your weapons are out of order.
"Thorne asked, "What kind of captain's mission did you complete?" Thorne was very curious about what this captain mission was like, after all, if there was ever a day when Thorne wished to build his own squad, he had already gone through several battles and discovered that he had a notable talent for leadership, he would not be satisfied with being a squad leader.
Especially after spending these half days at the base, he also wanted to have such a strong base and a strong squad.
But that is only a wish, at least in the short term he can not achieve, but then, stay in the gray king squad, but a good haven, but also to enjoy a rare peace and quiet.
When he heard him ask the task, Viper looked at the expression of the Gray King, and then looked at Thorne, rushed him to make a series of eyes, indicating that he should not ask the question.
The Gray King, however, did not have any unhappy expression, but said bluntly: "This mission is continuous, see this suit on me? The first task, I defeated the tyrant, pulling off the binding clothes; the second task, defeating the tyrant to remove the binding clothes after strengthening the mutated first form; the third task, working with Leon to defeat the tyrant second form, although difficult, but I did it.
"Thorne was surprised: "You worked with the main character Leon?" "Yes!" "At the Institute?" Thorne recalled the plot, Lyon was when he arrived at the Embraer base, defeated the G monster, and then evacuated, he encountered the second form of the tyrant.
He remembered that when he was in the game, that battle was still tough, especially if there were no powerful weapons, the terrain was narrow and the tyrant was nimble, very easy to miss.
"No, outside the clock room on the third floor of the police station, oh yes, Claire was there, she helped too, otherwise I could have been very badly injured.
"The Gray King said expressionlessly, "Besides, she asked me for a favor, and I agreed.
""What kind of favor?" "You'll know clearly in a moment.
"The Grey King said, "I'm going to go rest, Viper, have the weapon repaired and delivered to my bedroom!" "Yes, Captain!" After saying that, the Gray King pushed the door and left without looking back.
Thorne is a little confused, Claire asked the Gray King to help what? Why did he know about it in a moment? This favor has something to do with himself? Seeing the Gray King leave, Viper then whispered in a frightened voice: "Wow, big brother, you really have guts!" "What?" Thorne was unsure.
"You do not know? The Grey King hates it when people ask him about personal matters, and he never mentioned to anyone what the captain's mission was, and the last person who asked him was beaten half to death on the spot! You not only asked, he also told you everything, it's like a dream, you know, like you're obviously going to fall off a cliff, but then suddenly fly!" "You might as well fix the gun!" Thorne laughed, "By the way, can you shoot a weapon?" "What kind of weapon?" "Large capacity magazines, high rate of fire, high power, able to use armor-piercing ammunition, with a strong stopping power, but also in the unlikely event that you can temporarily use it as a melee weapon!" Thorne spoke eloquently.
"My goodness, you ... you simply take a fire-tipped gun!" Viper can't help but stammer, "You didn't watch that cartoon? That thing will meet all your requirements!" "Do not joke, you just give me an accurate letter, is it possible to make this kind of weapon?" "Which type of gun do you want for this ...? Continuous fire sniper? Assault rifle or what?" "The type is not limited, and I do not care about its range, can hit a dozen meters on the line.
""What about size? No size limit?" Viper asked with a raised eyebrow, "If there is no size limit, I can design it!" "Do you think it's possible to have unlimited size?" Thorne rolled his eyes at him, "I can't carry something as big as a Gatling around with me at all times, can I?" "You're taking it on a mission, right?" "What else? Do I want you to design a damn thing like this just to put it next to your bed and admire it?" "Well ... I can give it a try, but it might cost a little bit of points to buy some accessories to do so.
"I'm sorry," Viper said, swallowing hard.
"How much do you want, I'll give.
"Thorne now has more than 20,000 points, has not been much exchange of supplies, the hands of the money can not help but want to splurge to do so.
"8000 points ... at least!" Viper said with a grit of his teeth.
"Give you 10,000 points!" Thorne said bashfully, "The extra will be counted as a modification fee for you, but you must guarantee the performance of the weapon!" "No problem!" Viper instantly with a smile, "fix the lion roar, I will help you design, if not accidentally, probably before your next mission, I can get it, as long as it can still exchange those few key accessories.
""Very well!" After Thorne crossed out the points to him, he casually asked, "Can you copy this small missile?" "Ha, that's impossible!" "Why?" "I don't need to take it apart to know that this small missile looks small, but the structure inside is extremely complex, we can't imitate it just by the infrared tracking head in front of the warhead, but if there are enough materials, I can build some rockets of the same size, you can take them and make do with them.
""It pays to be prepared, you can design it first and see, but not to that point where you have to use it yet.
"Thorne also think it is unlikely, but it would be nice to be able to shoot rockets, after all, this is a launcher that can be quadruple loaded, rapid fire suppression capability is definitely far beyond the ordinary rocket launcher.
Although the power of the rockets will be reduced after miniaturization, but the effect of shooting out four in one breath, no matter the effect or the psychological deterrence to the opponent, the effect is great.
"However, you still have to guarantee my weapon first!" "That's natural, after all, you did pay for it.
"The Viper laughed.
Thorne was then relieved to leave.
Although the small missiles are powerful and accurate, but unfortunately the number is limited, only nine left, if not particularly difficult tasks, it is more appropriate to keep the defense of the base.
If Viper can build the kind of weapon he wants to use against the enhanced variety of monsters, the effect will be very significant.
Thorne walked toward the dining room, he was busy for five or six hours, already very hungry, military rations only nibbled half, the rest in the fierce battle, accidentally lost, he is now in the base, very longing to eat something good taste, do not want to exchange military rations to eat again.
Just as I arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, I ran into Ha Xing who was coming towards me.
"Hi, Thorne!" "Hi, Ha Xing!" "You're really great, you actually completed such a difficult mission as soon as you arrived, and even fetched a batch of high-grade arms, and your ranking jumped to the second place, really good for you!" Ha Xing laughed and gave him a punch.
"It's just luck.
"Thorne was modest.
"Ha, you are quite modest, I have heard that you have defeated more than a dozen enhanced lickers, remarkable, Mina her A group has encountered three enhanced lickers, resulting in heavy casualties-" "One dead and two injured. That's not a heavy casualty!" Mina's voice came from behind her, only to see her staring at Haxing with an unhappy face, coming alongside Team B leader Brooke.
"Thorne, it's really you, your C team has always been at the bottom, now just a random mission, actually hit the jackpot, fetching so much good stuff, ranking is almost catching up with our B team!" Brooke ignored Ha Xing and said directly to Thorne.
Thorne, observing his words, heard that his tone carried a bit of displeasure, even hostility, as if to say that Group C was totally picking up the pieces to catch up.
So he said, "Sorry, you're wrong.
""Oh? Where's wrong?" Brooke frowned at that.
"Group C used to be at the bottom, that was before, now the leader of the group is me, with me, Group C will always be the best!" Thorne said confidently.
"You are very confident.
"Brooke re-assessed him and quirked her mouth, "But don't think that because you got lucky and completed a difficult mission once, you're amazing, I've completed more difficult missions than I can count, and your bunch of dangling loser group members only spoil things!" "I never thought I was amazing, I'm amazing again, without the cooperation of excellent group members, I can't complete the mission!" Thorne said squarely, "You'd better not say anything bad about my group members, or I'll rub you on the ground like a leather ball!" "Very good, ha, very good!" Brooke laughed instead of being angry and suddenly extended her right hand, "Since you're so good, do you dare to shake hands with me?" "Sure!" Thorne reached over without saying a word.
In his opinion, this is more than obvious scene, like in TV or novels, two men do not move to compete, just by shaking hands, testing whose strength is stronger, and whoever screams out first, loses.
Ha Xing's face changed at the sight and he was just about to stop Thorne, but he was already shaking hands with Brooke.
In an instant, Thorne felt a stabbing pain at the base of his ring finger, which was unusually fierce and painful to the core.
It's as if a nail has been driven hard into the flesh of your hand! ,,,,,,,,,,
