Chapter 340, Adamant Knight and Titan
A thousand gears, although it has not been drained, there is almost nothing good left.Just that little probability of being produced at the basic level is not cost-effective.
This time, Gu Hang's [-] points of gifts were all thrown into the [-] yuan range.
Currently, the probability of shipment of 100 items is still 30%, including 60% for epic level, 10% for elite level, and [-]% for advanced level.Taken together, the price-performance ratio is much higher than that of ten draws at the thousand-yuan range.
In these five consecutive draws, Gu Hang produced one epic technology, three elite technologies, and one advanced technology.
It's normal to have good or bad luck.
After the draw, the probability of winning the 20-yuan prize has become 40%/40%/[-]%, which are epic/elite/advanced respectively.
There is still a lot of room for exploration!
At the moment, the five technologies that have just been extracted are: [Ranger Knight Mecha (Advanced Level)], [Feedback Power Armor (Elite Level)], [Jump Engine (Elite Level)], [War Combat Armor] Dog Titan (Elite Level)], [Adamantine Material (Epic Level)].
Among them, the technology of jump engine completes the last piece of the puzzle for Gu Hang to build a starship.
There are three essential prerequisite technologies for building a starship. Jump recognition allows the starship to capture the signal of the astral tunnel. The jump engine can provide power and enter the jump mode for astral travel. The astral force field can It can protect the spacecraft from subspace intrusion while it travels through the astral tunnel.
Gu Hang had already drawn out the astral force field and transition recognition system before this.Now that I've got the jump engine again, that's enough.
Its most direct significance means that the star port of Angry Owl, which can only do some boat maintenance and simple assembly work, finally has a place to be used and can officially build the [Traveler] spacecraft.
It is to this extent that it can be regarded as a serious shipyard.
Although we can only build this kind of small boat, it is still a good start.
Don't look down on the Traveler, that ship costs 180 million tax coins.If we really build a hundred ships and form a wolf fleet, it might not be useless.
Of course, the biggest benefit is to take the interstellar passenger transport, which cannot be too far away, otherwise supplies will be a problem.
If it is just to build a ship like the [Traveler] and requires so much front-end technology, it is definitely not worth it.But these three front-end technologies are essential for all ocean-going ships.Large-scale merchant ships, transport ships, and warships will be built later, and all three of them are indispensable.
This is a necessary technology to step into the sea of stars and oceans, so having it early will have its benefits.
After all, skilled shipbuilding workers also need practice to cultivate, and technical blueprints alone are not enough.
It's good to create the Traveler first.
And the [Feedback Power Armor] technology is also very interesting.This is a technology developed to benchmark the Space Marine power armor, and it is called the 'Samurai God Type'.
Compared with the power armor of Space Marines, Samurai God has almost all shortcomings.
The thickness of the armor is a little different, the flexibility is a little worse, the output power is a lot worse, the energy consumption is higher, and the logistics and maintenance are more troublesome.
Another key point is that the cost is high.The cost of the 'Stati' model currently owned by the alliance is twice that of the most common 'Skyhawk' type, and the cost of the 'Samurai God' type feedback power armor is even more expensive than the stalwart type, reaching 13 What is the cost of one unit?
It is more expensive and has much worse performance, but it has one only advantage: it can be used by ordinary people.
This so-called ordinary is not that ordinary, and it still needs to go through relatively rigorous training.
Of course, it is much cheaper to train a person who can use feedback power armor than to train a Space Marine.
After getting this technology, Gu Hang was also wondering, how to use it?
It must be used as a cutting-edge combat force, otherwise the cost cannot be afforded; it is not needed by the Space Marines, but it can be equipped to the elite special operations forces of the 2th Brigade.A small number of soldiers who have been trained to the T[-] level can be equipped with these feedback power armors, and their combat effectiveness soars.
But... Gu Hang suddenly thought of something else.
If they are equipped with feedback power armor, can they play a role similar to that of Space Marines?
Probably not.
The strength of a Space Marine lies in the person, not the armor on the outside.
In terms of direct combat effectiveness comparison, today's special operations elites, wearing an exoskeleton, equipped with a chain sword and a bolt gun, will still be fired when encountering a phoenix; if they are equipped with feedback-type power armor, they may not be fired without peer. As for it, but it's still a violent beating. Even if you beat one out of ten, you may not win.
After all, let alone the performance gap provided by power armor, even if there is no gap, the gap between ordinary people and space warriors who have grown more than a dozen superhuman organs is still too big.Their reaction speed, instant information processing capabilities, and shooting accuracy are all on the same level.
Even in the shooting event where the two sides have the closest abilities, the gap is huge.Space Marines can really judge the impact point of the shot at the moment the opponent pulls the trigger, dodge in advance, or block it with thick armor. These are things that ordinary people cannot do.And more often than not, the Space Marines will not give the opponent a chance to shoot at all.
The gap between the two sides is still huge.
The only thing is that T2 level soldiers are much easier to train than Space Marines.
However, this is true within the empire, but not here with Gu Hang.
Gu Hang's training of a space warrior here is nothing more than another layer of screening. Two hundred points of gifts are used to train to T1 level and exchange for a gene seed.
Of course, during the selection process of cultivating space warriors, Gu Hang will produce about a hundred times the number of eliminated people, including a not insignificant number of T2-level soldiers. These are considered accompanying products that will inevitably appear.
Using feedback power armor to equip these 'outcasts', turning them into beggar's version of space warriors, is mainly to supplement the elite and cutting-edge power. This is of course a way to use feedback power armor.
It's just…not cost-effective.
Another way to use it is to distribute it to frontline officers in the field to enhance their survivability.
A brigade commander or battalion commander commanding on the front line is actually very vulnerable.
But this enhancement effect... is relatively average.
In short, although the technology of feedback power armor is indeed an elite technology, it is still relatively useless for the current alliance. There are places where it can play a role, but it is not critical.
Gu Hang should not promote the large-scale production of this technology and occupy a lot of the alliance's productivity.
However, for the technology extracted, two units can be pulled out of the black box a month.
Definitely want it for free.
Then, Gu Hang turned his attention to two other technologies, [Ranger-level Knight Mecha] and [War Dog-level Titan].
The former is an old acquaintance. The Alliance now has six of them. After the Black Arrow Star surrendered, there were only six left on the entire planet except for those who were destroyed in several wars.Although theoretically the ownership is still in the hands of the surrendered nobles, they have nothing to say if the alliance wants to recruit them.
People always call the knight mecha 'Knight Titan', but that's actually not true. The proper name is just 'mecha'.The Ranger class is eight meters high, and can be equipped with a variety of components through different technical configurations to form some derivatives.For example, the lance type emphasizes heavy firepower, and the watch type emphasizes mobility.
But in short, they are all under the category of Ranger level.
As for the War Dog Titan, then this is a serious Titan - although it is the smallest Titan.
The biggest difference between the Titan and the Knight mecha is that the latter has a dedicated cockpit, which people brag about as the 'Mechanical Throne', where the Knight drives the mecha to fight; while the Titan does not have a dedicated cockpit. It cannot be operated by a single person. The 15-meter-tall war dog class looks like a five-story building, with about ten people inside, working together to control the machine at the same time.
Compared with the advanced technology of the Ranger Knight mecha, the War Dog Titan has doubled in size, reaching a height of 15 meters.
With these two technologies, the alliance's army strength will reach a new level.
No matter how powerful the Lion Tank is, it can only be positioned as a consumable. One unit costs 4000 yuan, and when placed on a high-intensity battlefield, it is equivalent to large armored cannon fodder.
But the knight mecha and the war dog titan can be regarded as the main force of the elite soldiers anyway.
On the Black Arrow Star, a bunch of poorly equipped feudal troops, coupled with some sentinel mechas, could not unleash the power of the ferocious knight mechas.But even so, in order to win a Ranger-class Knight in the decisive battle, the Alliance had to pay an average price of more than 40 tanks, hundreds of armored vehicles, five Wind Falcons, one Space Marine, and several infantrymen. .
And if the Knight Titan is placed here in the Alliance, there will be more elite armored troops in front, elite infantry on the side to form a defensive position, and sharp artillery to coordinate and exert firepower advantage.The power that knights and titans can exert will be greatly enhanced.
It would be difficult for a Space Marine to reach around.The phoenix broke through the defensive position of the Kingdom's army. It could be broken with just one poke. The alliance's military formation was not that easy to wear.With a little delay, the firepower of the Knights and Titans would be enough to destroy the Space Marines.What's more, these two things, especially the knight mecha, can not only provide great help at the military level, but also have great political significance after the alliance can produce them on their own, which is very conducive to the alliance's rule of the Black Arrow Star.
Black Arrow Star is a place with a strong tradition of knights.
And now, the alliance has the ability to produce its own Sentinel mecha (it was drawn earlier), and it also has the ability to produce its own Knight mecha. Doesn't this mean another miracle?
Gu Hang thought of many solutions in an instant.
The establishment of the Knight Academy is, on the one hand, a military school, on the other hand, it is to train knight drivers, and on the other hand, it is to strengthen the orthodox status of the alliance.
If you want to be a knight in the future, you don't have to waste countless years of family savings. You only need to apply for the Knight Academy and enlist in the army, and you can become a glorious knight and drive a Sentinel mecha; the best ones can drive a Ranger Knight; By opening up special subjects, you can not only be a single driver of the Knight Errant, but also have the opportunity to become a driver of a larger and more powerful real Titan. A group of more than a dozen people can use the War Dog Titan.
There are many benefits to doing this.
These noble families of Black Arrow Star still have their merits.Their ancestors have been knights for generations, and they are proud to be knights. The new gadgets created by the alliance are in line with their traditions and are conducive to strengthening their rule; and because of these traditions, they have been trained how to drive knights since they were young. They themselves It is the most suitable source of drivers.
On this basis, Gu Hang even planned to establish a new organizational structure and place it under the Alliance Army.
He had already thought of a name, and he decided to call it the 'Confederate National Knights'.
The original plan was to call it the 'Knights of the Black Arrow', but after thinking about it, I rejected the name.The regional identity is too strong and does not fit in with the overall concept of establishing alliance identity that Gu Hang had previously set.
This Alliance National Knights is not really a complete military organization. Its main purpose is to provide identity authentication and strengthen the sense of honor-this is what the knights on the Black Arrow Star do.
On the other hand, it is the professional management of these two expensive top-level equipment, Knight Mecha and Titan, from the selection of pilots, maintenance of equipment, and specialized logistics supplies.
At the same time, the establishment of the Knights also makes it easier for the alliance to flexibly and centrally deploy these top weapons into the war.
After all, these top-level equipment are not suitable for direct configuration into specific army organizations, otherwise it will be troublesome to call them.
Of course, the pilots of Knight Mecha and Titan have an important subject in their training, which is how to cooperate with conventional troops in combat.This part of the content is somewhat lacking in Black Arrow Star's original training system, and it cannot keep up with the alliance's current conventional troop model.The National Knights should work hard to explore this aspect.
Scratching his head, Gu Hang even planned to build the alliance's first knight errant production line on the Black Arrow Star?
When this news spreads, it will immediately cheer people up, right?
According to the production capacity of the black box, if the finished product is directly produced, the Ranger-class Knight will need one unit every two months; the War Dog Titan will need one unit every five months.
As for the production lines, it is estimated that one can be initially built in half a year.
After Gu Hang had a communication with Wu Jiarong and talked about related matters, he roughly estimated that if the alliance puts these two things into production normally, they will be placed on the Black Arrow Star, and the Pampos Industrial Center will be the main production of the Ranger Knight. Base, with Luman Industrial Center as the main production base of War Dog Titan, it is estimated that after two years of construction and the laying of multiple production lines, it will be able to produce approximately six units of Ranger Knight per year; War Dog Titan can be produced annually One.
After so many years of accumulation on the Black Arrow Star, there were only about thirty Knight Titans on the entire planet before the war.After the arrival of the alliance, this kind of thing that could only be imported through foreign trade and which required a country's financial resources to be financed can be produced by oneself, and in five years it can reach the accumulation of countless years in the past. This will be a strong proof that The arrival of the Alliance is absolutely positive for Black Arrow Star!
Gu Hang was quite satisfied with this amount.
Then, he set his sights on the last thing, which was also the only epic technology.
Fine gold material.
Gu Hang was a little surprised when he saw this thing.
Fine gold can almost be regarded as the highest grade among the materials used on a large scale in the empire.I won't go into details about higher and rarer materials. I'll only mention things that can be used on a large scale.
Adamantine is mainly used to build real Titans, rather than knight mechas that are falsely called Titans; Adamantite is also essential in some key parts of starships; when building Terminator armor, it is also necessary Use it.
All in all, with the advancement of technology, the production of high-strength technical products will inevitably bring higher requirements for basic materials.
The large-scale use of fine gold is precisely for this purpose.
However, most of the fine gold currently used by the empire is a natural product.Either a very small amount of associated fine gold minerals can be collected during large-scale mineral mining, or extremely precious fine gold veins can be found on some very few planets.
This thing is undoubtedly a strategic resource in the empire.There is a precedent for the Empire to launch a war over an adamantine mine.
Now, what does the set of [Adamantine Technology] that Gu Hang has in hand mean?
Mining technology for fine gold?Why is it called Epic Technology?
It is difficult to mine, but more importantly it is scarce.As long as it can be found, its high value is enough to make people ignore the difficulty and cost of mining.
If it can be called epic technology, could it be... the synthesis technology of fine gold?
Gu Hang took a closer look and found that it was true.
After understanding the meaning, he had only one thought in his mind: make a fortune.
Moreover, this wealth is not as difficult to explain and use as some previously developed technologies.
This wealth was something Gu Hangzheng could use.
He could have synthesized the fine gold, placed it in a certain mining area, and said he had discovered a fine gold mine.
Now there is a serious output channel, and Gu Hang can take it out and sell it.
As for the problem of being discovered, Gu Hang is not afraid at all.
Without conducting actual investigations in the mine and conducting geological research, who would know whether what he said is true or false?
Let alone anyone who has nothing to do but competes for the share of fine gold and questions the authenticity of the fine gold mine. Even if he wants to engage in this wave of research and come to Gu Hang's territory to do this, that's not the case. too difficult.
The smelting and synthesis production line of this thing will not only provide basic material support for the future when the alliance area builds various high-precision technologies, but it can also be produced immediately to earn tax revenue for the alliance.
There is a big customer in the Tianma Star District - Feiyixing Shipyard.
It was a place where cruiser-level starships could be produced and built, and there was a direct need for fine gold.
The only pity is that even if the production line of fine gold synthesis technology is rolled out later, the production capacity cannot be expanded too fast. It is estimated that the output in one year will only be a micro fine gold mine.
But that's enough.
A micro fine gold mine can earn 2000 million tax coins a year purely from foreign trade.
Moreover, the alliance does not necessarily have to sell everything.I will definitely keep some in case there is higher-level technology in the future, and when I need to use this kind of material, I can take it out and use it directly.
After completing the technology lottery and handing over the relevant matters to Wu Jiarong through remote communication, Gu Hang boarded the spaceship and embarked on the journey to the Flying Wing Star.
He was going to his engagement ceremony, where his fiancée was waiting for him. ————

The following are free:
Well, when I was reading the comments, I found that I had two settings... two lottery bugs...
Small: I drew the chainsword in Chapter 211, and again in Chapter 267...
The big one: In Chapter 211, the MK.7 Skyhawk power armor was drawn, but in Chapter 315, it was said that the alliance did not have power armor technology.
It has been modified.
For readers who don't want to go back and read the previous article, here is a report on the modifications:
The chain sword that 267 pulled out was changed to a [gravity weapon] (the gravity staff in the hand of Priest Rizzo, and the gravity fist equipped by Knight Titan)
The MK.211 power armor pulled out by 7 was changed to a [jump recognition system], and the advanced technology for starship construction was obtained early.
It shouldn't have any impact on the plot. The main reason is that when I was writing the setting, my brain got distracted and I was confused. I admit my mistake...
This chapter is 5.2k, a thousand words longer than usual to make up for it!
