Chapter 479, the long-lost technology lottery
Gu Hang thought about it for a while, but he still didn't dare to do it blatantly.
Slowly.
However, it's okay to make some preparations in advance.
Gu Hang has two ideas in this regard: quality and quantity.
Of course, there is no conflict between the two and they can be used together.
Gu Hang is already using the quality plan.
Whether they were newly trained by Gu Hang or old Phoenix, they were definitely not all new recruits.
The cost of cultivating a phoenix, from genetic seeds to its own cultivation, is 100 for seeds, 100 for training, and the cost of elimination is 200-300, not to mention the probability of surgical failure that fluctuates around 10%.
The full cost of a Phoenix new blood is probably between 400 and 500 points. In addition, if Gu Hang is impatient and cannot bear the superhuman organ growth period, he will have to exchange for superhuman organ growth acceleration, which is another 100 points of gift.
Then, all members are trained to at least the veteran level, with an average cost of 200 per person.
The most common use is to quickly and seamlessly replenish the Phoenix when there is a loss of personnel. If the empire knew about this usage, it would be hard to say anything. They are not official Space Marines in the first place, they are just reserve forces. What is there to say? It's just that this reserve force is relatively strong.
Gu Hang thought about expanding another battle group, but it was not feasible to think about it carefully. There are countless war groups, and each one is recorded in the empire and has corresponding documents. Coming up with a name, designing a livery, and forming your own group is definitely illegal and would be a serious crime if found out.
If Gu Hang wants to train Phoenix to the level of 'Company Champion' per capita, he can actually do it. It's just that each person spends another 400 points, and a total of 400,000, can bring them to this level. That is, they have reached the level of the Atonement Crusade per capita, which is only better than the past, with the strength of the Space Marine Captain. Tingsi is one level weaker.
He will spend another 300 to get each person to the rank of 'non-commissioned officer'.
Each person can win the company championship and be inspired by heroes. It's not up to the level of a team champion, but it's not impossible for all the experts to fight against five or even ten.
However, the space warriors who are trained hide them and do not use them.
But using this statement, if we maintain a number of one or two hundred at most, it will be overwhelming. No matter how much, the empire is not used to it.
But Gu Hang didn't stop at this step.
Although it is an idea, no matter what, expanding the number of Space Marines to an extremely outrageous level is currently difficult to achieve.
If that's not enough, Gu Hang can even use the [Heroes] panel to enlighten the Phoenix as much as possible, and then increase the hero evaluation potential of these people one by one, and directly use the gift points to upgrade them when the point is reached. Wait until they grow up. However, to get to this point, the amount of gift points consumed per person will be like a wild horse, completely out of control.
First of all, the cost is high. In addition to the cost of gift points, it also costs a lot of money to equip so many sets of power armor and a full set of expensive individual equipment.
Of course, they still used the gene seeds of the Phoenix, and Gu Hang could only redeem their seeds now.
The key is not easy to hide. Once discovered, it is better to just take the phoenix and reincarnate.
However, Gu Hang could use the name of reserve team and recruit training to create a shadow battle group in addition to the Phoenix.
To cultivate a space warrior in this way, a thousand points of gifts will be the foundation. Not to mention, if you need to add a think tank team of about thirty people to find people with psychic talents among these new blood for training, the points consumption will be even more.
But if the problem of the number of space warriors cannot be solved, and a thousand pits is the limit, Gu Hang has enough gift points on hand, and it is really necessary to use space warriors to fight against certain crises, he will not be able to control it. Those.
But if there are too many phoenixes operating at the same time, they will end up like the Iron Armored Corps.
There are solutions for quality, but there are also solutions for quantity.
Another use is more marginal. When necessary, the power armor of these reserve team and shadow group members can be painted to look like a phoenix, and they can act like a phoenix.
Space warriors at this level are almost equal to everyone being a veteran among veterans. Compared with the seven veterans of the Hundred Years Atonement Expedition who first came to the Raging Owl Star, they were only a little behind.
That was a bit too shocking and cost too many points, so Gu Hang was a bit reluctant to part with it.
Secondly, the political risk is too high. If the secret is exposed, the explanation will be unclear and it will be a taboo. His and Phoenix's reputations were about to fall to the level of iron armor.
With Iron Armor as his imaginary enemy, Gu Hang couldn't let his reputation fall to that point. It would be very bad if the central government of the empire believed that the confrontation between the alliance and the Iron Wrath Stone was a dog-eat-dog fight between the separatist warlords.
First of all, Gu Hang felt that he was not a separatist force;
Secondly, he cannot let others think that he is;
At least, even if others think he is, they can't give people any obvious reasons to accuse him.
The consequences of these three levels are completely different. The most direct one is that if Gu Hang and the Raging Flames really get into trouble, the empire officials will support him or sit aside and watch.
Gu Hang thought about expanding the quantity for a long time and decided to put it aside as a backup.
...
Gu Hang still has 1.5 million gift points left in military construction.
Five hundred thousand yuan is temporarily reserved to ensure that if necessary, Gu Hang can immediately bring all Phoenixes to the level of the company championship.
Gu Hang spent the remaining one million gift points on the training of political commissars.
One hundred thousand political commissars were recruited for duty. They will be distributed in units above the regiment level, and a small number of battalion-level units can also be matched. For a company-sized instructor, there really aren't enough gift points to allocate.
Under the alliance's military system, the role played by political commissars cannot be ignored. Discipline, morale, and ideology are the core factors that determine the combat effectiveness of the army. Sometimes, it is even more important than the level of training and equipment of the troops.
In fact, the alliance's political commissar system starts with company instructors and battalion-level instructors. However, it is impossible for the political commissars trained by Gu Hang to sink to this level. The number of people required is too many. A political commissar also needs ten points of gifts, but Gu Hang can't afford it.
The Alliance Army will reach one billion people in the future, and he can only take care of units above the regiment level. Not to mention, the scale is several times larger than the Alliance Army, and the total number may currently exceed 4 billion. For these Allied armies, if Gu Hang wants to ensure that they stand with the alliance and achieve the alliance's unified goal, he will also need a large number of political commissars, at least to the division and brigade level and to the army level, and they must be worthy of the alliance's political commissars.
To be honest, after calculating this, the amount of 100,000 may not be enough.
When he first got the fifteen million gift points, Gu Hang thought that he didn't know how to spend such a large amount of gift points; but when he really spent it, he found that no matter how many points he had, it would easily reach hundreds of millions. In terms of magnitude, it is still not enough.
But Gu Hang can no longer throw more gift points into these 'bottomless pits'.
He has to spend all the remaining 400 million on the lottery.
He was no longer interested in the rewards of the 10,000 level, and the prize pool had been basically drained; but the 100,000 level had just been opened not long ago, and the rewards inside were still very generous.
And he can directly engage in a wave of forty draws!
He would draw thirty rounds first, and with one million gift points remaining, he would decide whether to go to the million level depending on the situation.
The probability of getting epic technology from the 50 level is 35%. Before, Gu Hang had drawn seven times at this level and produced three epic technologies. Now the probability of being beaten has reached %.
Every time a product is shipped, the probability is 5%.
But at present, this 35% is still a very high number.
The Thirty Company drew out five epic technologies, and there were 18 other ordinary, advanced, and elite technologies, and they were empty seven times.
Overall, it's in line with expectations.
Those non-epic technologies also have some surprises. Although there is basically nothing new, they are all upgrades or variants of some existing technologies in the alliance, but some can still play a role.
For example, more efficient servo skull production technology, such as two types of Space Marine power armor and one type of feedback power armor.
The first two are MK.5 and MK.8, among which MK.5 Gu Hang does not plan to put out the production line. This type of power armor is not popular among current space warriors at all, and there is nothing particularly outstanding in performance. On the contrary Due to some historical factors, the largest number of power armors remain on the side of the Chaos Space Marines;
The latter can actually be manufactured. Although there is a gap in performance with the MK.4 stalwart power armor currently used most by Phoenix, the production is relatively simple and the cost is half the price. If Gu Hang wants to significantly increase the number of Space Marines in the future, but the production of MK.4 Stalwart is relatively low, the saved MK.8 Skyhawk power armor can be used. If it doesn't work, it can also be used for foreign trade.
The feedback type power armor is called the 'Commander' type. The main difference from the 'Samurai God' in the current alliance is that the latter was actually a type of power armor developed for the battle nuns. There are certain theological aspects in the manufacturing process. The link is inside. In the hands of the battle nuns, these links can exert some metaphysical effects, making the nuns better luck, and can even show some miracles as if they are favored by the emperor at special times. But when worn by ordinary mortals, there is no such effect. Instead, it is due to these special manufacturing steps and links that the manufacturing cost is increased.
On the contrary, the 'Commander Type' is different. This is a armor developed for the Astra Militarum. Although there is a relatively large gap between the performance of individual soldiers compared to the 'Samurai God', the cost is greatly reduced, and many command link communication systems are integrated. The commander who wears it does not need a command vehicle; at the same time, A whole team of special operations soldiers wearing 'commanders' can also work together better.
For this type of power armor, Gu Hang was prepared to greatly increase production.
When cultivating new Phoenix blood, the ones eliminated during the screening process are only slightly unqualified for the Space Marines. Looking at the entire human group, they are very talented, and with the training bonus of the [Soldier Card] system, they are all rare elite soldiers.
In the recent process of cultivating 500 new Phoenix blood, more than 2 T3-level soldiers and nearly 4 T-level soldiers were born, not counting T-level soldiers, which were relatively few.
Some of these T2 and T3 soldiers will be sent to the special operations brigades and skeleton divisions established in various front-line units of the Alliance Army. The other part will be gathered together to form an elite force called the 'Glory Guards Corps'.
Their predecessor was the Alliance Army's 10th Special Operations Brigade.
Gu Hang's positioning of the 'Glory Guards' is to align with the elites of the famous Astra Militarum in the empire, such as the so-called 'Kashezin', 'Catachan' and the like.
The league does not have that kind of environment to create a similar superman, but the league has money and can spend money on training and equipment.
In Gu Hang's plan, the 'Glory Guards Corps' can be brought out to confront the Space Marines head-on when necessary. Even at the expense of a high exchange ratio and a large number of casualties, at least they can fight without being quickly annihilated.
This also supplements the problem of insufficient numbers of Space Marines.
The 'Glory Guards' must at least be equipped with exoskeletons and carapace armor per person, and should be equipped with feedback power armor as much as possible.
Their number is many times greater than that of Space Marines, so the demand for power armor is naturally much greater. The cost of the 'Samurai God' is too high and the output is small. A cheaper 'Commander Type' would be a good supplement.
Some of the other technologies drawn are actually similar. For example, there is the 'walrus-type' transport ship, which is smaller but faster than the 'whale-class' transport ship. It also has the potential to be converted into an armed merchant ship, but the cost is actually higher. high...
Once these technologies are drawn, they are definitely better than nothing. But for the alliance, it is more of an icing on the cake. If it does not solve the problem from scratch, it will not form a qualitative change.
If you want to make a qualitative change, you still have to look at the five epic technologies that you can get.
[L-shaped missile weapon, Dongfeng Fen], [L-shaped macro cannon, Wrath of the Faithful], [Predator-class Titan], [Dreadnought Mecha], [Strike Cruiser].
The first two technologies directly meet the needs of various L-specification weapons in the alliance. Prior to this, the Alliance only had the ability to produce L-type 'Doomsday' light spear arrays, which resulted in the main guns of the four new Moon-class cruisers produced by the Alliance being all light spears.
This is a very passive thing. Before this, the main guns of the Musician-class cruisers built on the Flying Wing Star were imported from the Jindi Star and then assembled on the ship. The Flying Wing Star itself did not have the ability to produce these L-class heavy guns. Ability.
Now, these problems no longer exist.
['Predator'-class Titan] is a serious medium-sized Titan, much larger than the 'War Dog-class' Terra, known as the 'Dog Titan'. Among those famous Titan legions, the 'Predator' is also the mainstay. .
With it, the 'Alliance National Knights' can be regarded as a force that develops into the Titan Legion.
As for the last two, [Dreadnought Mecha] and [Strike Cruiser], they are both Space Marine technologies.
