Chapter 499: Dividing the spoils after the war
Members of the Human Observation Group said they couldn't understand.
"Logically speaking, the little gray man has such a big killer to eliminate insects, so he should not be beaten by others!"
A ray of light can silently kill the insects on the entire planet. Such a powerful weapon is much stronger than a star destroyer, but the little gray man insists on finding human mercenaries to fight with the insects. It is very strange no matter how you think about it.
"It must be that this weapon has great restrictions on its use!"
They immediately realized that the little gray man could not use this move as he pleased. Perhaps there might be a huge price to pay, or the Zerg had the means to counter it and needed to implement certain situations before it could be used.
However, Li Maoye guessed something.
At this moment, he did not stay in the Meow Star Laboratory honestly, but instead used a teleportation gun to watch the battle while people were not paying attention. He happened to see the little gray man's warship exerted his might and killed the insects on the planet with one blow!
"This feeling is a bit like a shock wave generated by mental energy..."
According to the data analysis collected by the CV system, the attack on the Little Grey spacecraft is equivalent to detonating a soul nuclear warhead on the planet, which can cause a fatal impact on lower intelligent lives.
"This kind of attack will repeatedly flush and shock the spirit of all life within the area, and will have miraculous effects against Zergs that have not formed self-awareness! If there are higher intelligent life, it will become an obstacle and greatly reduce the attack effect. Therefore, Xiaoxiao people cannot use insect swarms with higher Zergs!"
When Li Maoye thought of this, he immediately understood why the little gray man asked the human observation team to leave the spaceship. They were not worried that the attack would cause accidental damage, but that the existence of higher intelligent life like humans would reduce the attack effect.
In any case, this attack is very limited and is a bit expensive for the Little Grey. Except for the use of the sixth planet, other planets have not been used.
Anyway, the insects in this galaxy were already defeated the moment the Zerg army retreated, and the next time was just a matter of time. The little gray man was anxious to take back the crystal and produce the planet, and then he took the means to deal with it.
There is no problem with human mercenaries. There are a lot of planets left, but the number of insects on these planets is much smaller. On the one hand, it is because the sixth planet belongs to the nest, and on the other hand, other planets do not have the conditions for insect reproduction.
Even if the Zerg is the kind of creature that can cross the universe in its body, it requires certain conditions to reproduce. Usually, they mainly occupy a living planet as a nest to reproduce. If it really doesn't work, they will spend a lot of effort to transform a planet so that its ecological climate becomes suitable for insect survival and reproduction.
After fighting head-on with the Zerg, Li Maoye completely lost his interest in the insects.
"I originally thought that the Zerg would be the enemy of humans, but now it seems that they can only escape desperately. Under normal circumstances in subspace, the Zerg may be able to dominate the interstellar space, but for the Blue Star humans, they are simply extremely fragile!"
The performance of human mercenaries also satisfied the little gray people with their performance as well. They are better at mental attack methods, but they have not conducted in-depth research on Cyborg technology and intelligent machines.
The Xiaohui people do not have such advanced robot technology, so of course they cannot equip a large number of combat robots. Their army is still mainly cloned, and almost no robots are involved, even in the logistics department.
After seeing the performance of intelligent robots on the surface, they planned to customize a batch of them to humans for use, mainly from the Chuanghua Family's Cat Star Group. Other countries can naturally produce intelligent robots, but they cannot compete with Cat Star in terms of performance, quality, cost and production speed.
The l series robot has been updated to the third version, with auxiliary equipment such as the Machine Hound, which is very suitable for fighting this kind of tunnel battle, because these things are low-cost and affordable, and repairs are also more convenient and fast.
The modular design gives these cheap robots great advantages in production and manufacturing, and they are also very good in combat damage repair. After losing ten L-series robots, at least six of them can return to the battlefield through reassembly and repairs.
Moreover, this kind of repair work can also be handed over to the L series robot itself. The repair process is very short and can be repaired while punching until every part of the robot cannot be used, which means it is really made of scrap copper and iron.
Even scrap iron can still be recycled. Just disassemble the intact components and then use the useful components for repair. If you have free time, using the remaining parts for assembly will not make the L series robots reassemble.
The same is true for robot war dogs. In addition to being able to fight with insects, their value can also be used to destroy insects by burying landmines.
Even if the robot war dogs self-destruct, they have made a big profit, because the things that the dogs explode must be much higher than theirs. As the backbone of the battle, the L series robots can withstand the tide of Zerg attacks.
In addition, there are a small number of M-series robots in the robot team, but they usually exist as command towers, so basically they will equip M-series robots with space mechas to enhance defense and attack capabilities.
After putting on the space mecha, the m-series robots are far superior to insects in terms of defense and power. Of course, the same is true in intelligence. As long as they are not surrounded by the army of insects, just one such m-series robot can cut off the enemy in front of them.
After all, the space mecha they wear is too defensive, and even equipped with a small energy armor generator, even if the bugs swarm, they cannot cause any damage to it.
"The only thing you need to worry about is the energy problem. If the mecha energy is exhausted, then you can only rely on the mecha itself to defend against insect attacks!" The expert introduced to the little gray man.
"Why don't you use the 'zero-point battery' to supply energy?" One of the representatives of the little gray man asked in confusion: "I know that this battery is very small and should be able to be put into a space mecha..."
The human expert pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally decided to tell the truth: "This kind of battery production is insufficient. At present, it can only meet the use of space fleets and space colonies first, and then it is the other departments..."
After all, the production of this black technology "zero-point battery" requires space crystal as a material, and it is also the raw stones collected from crystal ores.
If there are not enough raw materials to make batteries, I am afraid that human warships will not be able to popularize "zero-point batteries" to supply energy, let alone replace energy equipment for space mechas.
"Does it take a lot of crystals to make? Why don't I apply for a batch of raw stones from above and let you make some batteries urgently first?" the little gray man asked tentatively.
This time the expert could not continue talking. He could only report to the upper hand, and then the captain of the observation team obtained the authorization from Blue Star, and then he told a number to the little gray man.
"It actually takes so much space crystal rough stone?"
The little gray man couldn't help but be amazed when he heard this. Then he secretly estimated that a medium-sized crystal vein could only make hundreds of batteries. No wonder humans have not yet popularized this kind of black technology product.
What they didn't know was that at least half of the crystal rough stones used to make "zero-point batteries" were misappropriated, and the person who misappropriated was naturally Li Maoye, a bald boss from Meow Star Laboratory.
It was originally possible to manufacture thousands of batteries, but only less than 500 batteries were manufactured, because there were losses caused by unexpected situations. As for the misappropriated space crystal, it was used to purify and convert it into the transmission gun energy.
What Li Maoye did was very hidden, and no one noticed it. Anyway, no one else understood the principle of "zero-point battery", let alone the specific technical parameters involved in battery manufacturing.
He said that the amount of materials used is as much as possible. If anyone thinks there is a problem, then let that guy come and take a look. If there is no way to produce the finished product, don’t mess around!
The little gray man naturally didn't understand the inside truth. He just felt that the "zero-point battery" consumables were too large. However, considering that a battery is equivalent to hundreds of nuclear reactors and can be used for tens of millions of years, the actual use value of the battery is higher than that of the space crystal itself!
Not to mention that when the "zero-point battery" is running, it can cause a certain degree of blockade of subspace, which can be used to target Zerg, a race that has a natural affinity with subspace.
After thinking about it, the little gray man also obtained authorization and approval through the internal spiritual link network, intending to use the current space crystal on this resource planet to exchange for a batch of "zero-point batteries".
According to the data recorded by the spacecraft scanner, there are at least ten medium-sized crystal veins, five large crystal veins, and hundreds of small veins on the resource planet.
If all of them are used to make "zero-point batteries", it is estimated that at least tens of thousands of them can be made, perhaps more than 20,000. If the quality of large crystal veins is better, it may be possible to reach 30,000.
"I understand what you mean, but this matter is very important, so we have to explain it clearly!" replied the captain of the human observation team.
In fact, the problem lies in how to allocate these tens of thousands of "zero-point batteries". If the little gray man is given less, they naturally disagree. Although the resource planet was taken back by human mercenaries, the nominal ownership of the planet belongs to the little gray man.
Unless humans and the little gray man had a broken face, both sides could only sit down and have a good talk.
Finally, after many days of disputes, the two sides decided to divide the 46% share, that is, the 40% battery on the human side, and then the little gray man got 60% of it, and he had to provide a certain number of intelligent robots and space mechas.
These space mechas have been converted into "zero-point batteries" to supply energy, and are also equipped with an energy shield generator. As long as the energy of the instant attack does not exceed the shield's defense range, the space mechas will not suffer any damage.
"Huh? Many of these space mechas have been modified. Are you planning to wear them for yourself?" Human experts soon discovered what the actual intention of the Little Grey was.
After this joint battle, the little gray man felt that these space mechas were very good. They were willing to pay a certain price to allow Blue Star humans to tailor a batch for them, and then replace them with "zero-point batteries" and sell them.
No matter what era or social background, or who is facing transactions, the arms business is ultimately one of the most profitable businesses.
There is no problem in selling space mechas to Xiaohui people in the relevant departments of the Huajia family. Mecha technology is not a great technology anyway. If Xiaohui people are willing to invest resources to study, it is estimated that it will be able to reach the current level of human beings in less than ten years.
Moreover, this is built on research from scratch, and with human mecha technology in front of the guide, the little gray man doesn't have to worry about going astray.
But the little gray people don’t want to waste time. After all, their technology trees did not open the mecha and Cyborg branches. Now it’s too much to go back to do such things, whether it’s time or resource costs.
So they proposed custom purchases to humans and then replaced them with the real technical target "zero-point battery". In the eyes of Xiao Grays, this is the extra bonus obtained by exchanging the battery with crystals.
If possible, they also want to continue to buy space mechas and intelligent robots in the future. Judging from the feedback on all aspects of use, these two things are too useful for the Little Grey.
But the question is whether the two parties can find a suitable transaction intermediate in the future. Now it seems that the little gray man has found a suitable thing, which is to use crystal rough stones as money. Originally, the space crystal was an interstellar currency in the Milky Way, but now it has just been replaced with its rough stones.
When this transaction entered the execution stage, humans quickly discovered that many problems arose, such as providing special space mecha equipment to the little gray man, which requires taking into account the actual use environment of the mecha. After all, the combat capability of the mecha is only part of it, and many abilities need to be realized with a technical platform.
However, the technology and daily life of both parties are quite different. It is impossible to be compatible with it. You can only redesign a set of Little Grey version of the space mecha to meet the usage requirements.
This kind of thing can only be left to Meow Star Laboratory. No other research institutions do not have the ability to do this. In order to make the interstellar transactions smooth, the relevant departments designated veterans like Qin Hua and Zhao Baibing to work.
When redesigning the mecha plan, Qin Hua and others also felt that the little gray man did not have space mecha technology. They obviously had powered exoskeleton spacesuits, but they never further produced the mecha.
However, considering that the development of civilized technology is affected by actual conditions, the little gray man may feel that his investment in soul and spirit technology research is more cost-effective, so he did not use any mecha technology.
