Invincible Chapter 358
It is said that people always dream of the place where they lived in their childhood, and that is the most unforgettable home.
However, when Liberty dreamed later, he always dreamed of Marsala's Asylum Castle.
In his later years, he returned there after all, instead of staying in Tarsonis where he was born and raised.
"Fort Sanctuary is the city where I feel the safest," he said.
Even in the later years, every time he recalled it, he felt that there was no place that could give him such a sense of security as Fort Sanctuary.
Many people call it the Iron Prison, Folsom Second, but no one would deny the security here.
Hard, thick, and solid are the style of this city. It stands like a super fortress in the wilderness. The wind and sand are blocked by barriers. At night, it is brightly lit. Even from space, it is the brightest on the ground in Marsala. light cluster.
In addition to the sense of security, Liberty also likes the social atmosphere of Fort Sanctuary.
People here laugh and scold loudly, and they like to tell obscene jokes, making them seem vulgar, but there is not much sinisterness here, and the folk customs here are much more simple than Tarsonis.
Most of the men here drink too much, but they rarely hang out after midnight. Most of them drink a few drinks in the bar after work, brag and watch the Internet news, curse the Federation, and then go home with a little bit drunk, and have to go to work the next day.
The Northern Democratic Association tried its best to provide people with job opportunities, so that they had the opportunity to earn enough points to buy boat tickets.
But Liberty found that some people earned enough points, but gave up the opportunity to others.
Not because of nobility, but because they are more used to living here. They have a genuine sense of panic about the outside world.
As an old man said: "I used to be satisfied with the wind and sand in Marsala, but not with the residence and the neighborhood. Now, the latter also makes me very satisfied."
Liberty also agrees with this statement. Although compared with the past, people's residences today are indeed very similar to the difference between chicken coops and pigeon coops. But here, everything is more orderly and upward.
Every family has a standard mechanical butler. Even if it is a sloppy man, with a mechanical butler, that house will not become a pig's nest, and a neat and clean home can always make people feel more positive.
Another interesting thing is that the design of the tube building was deliberately adopted in the design of the house.
That is to say, the shared channel, which makes people inevitably look up and see down. Familiarity begins with greetings that can't save face again and again.
And the tube building here is indeed prepared for war, the outer wall is extremely thick, there is no natural sunlight, and people enjoy artificial sunlight.
Once the gate of Tongzilou is closed, it is really no different from a thick square iron bucket, which is one of the reasons why it is called a prison by outsiders.
Liberty has a house of his own in the No. 4 tube building, and he is one of 500 households living here.
Recently, he is living a good life, with a good salary, and the products that can be bought on the market are quite rich. The products from other galaxies are slightly more expensive, and the local products are relatively cheap. The quality is good, but the packaging is not good, as far as he knows people prefer to use local products.
In terms of work, Asylum has too much to write about. He has created many series, and the audience is crying and asking to fill in the holes all day long.
In addition, he had an affair with his neighbor, Marisa, a married woman who sneaked here from the south.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the woman took her young daughter and her 50-year-old mother-in-law to escape from the control of her alcoholic and domestic violence husband.
Liberty also admired Marisa's husband, how failed a man must he be, that even his biological mother chose to abandon and run away?
Seeing that the three generations of women and children were pitiful, he felt pity for them, so he helped them re-register and became legal new Melbourne citizens. At that time, he didn't expect to get anything in return.
And it was also a coincidence that when housing was allocated, numbers were drawn once for 500 households. He originally thought that he would live in the military dormitory like he was a military reporter on the Nord II.
As a result, Graybeard gave him more freedom and let him live in a homestay. Work is also free, except for some thematic reports that must be completed, others can be done by him, and he can report whatever he likes.
In Kane's words: "We are not afraid to expose our shortcomings. Sometimes the world thinks it is shameful, but we take it as a kind of praise. It shows that we do have individuality."
Of course, having said that, in Liberty's opinion, Graybeard has more integrity than the Federation in military and political aspects. If you have to say that the gray beard has some evil deeds, then you can come to take advantage of the fire.
They know that the public has no better choice, so some conditions are very low.
But it does allow people to say no, and to leave and find what they think is a better way out.
So Greybeard is a jerk, but also aboveboard.
Serving such a group of people, Liberty is actually very satisfied. He has scolded Greybeard and the Northern Democratic League more than once in his reports, and then the Federation. The people also said that Greybeard is indeed a jerk, but Federation is bastard plus three levels.
Liberty was assigned to his own house, and the original resident earned points for buying boat tickets and left with his family, so he stepped in.
Surprisingly, he became neighbors with Marisa.
Once you come and go, you will become familiar.
Liberty knew that Marisa was interested in him and hoped that he would become her husband, not just for fun. Her mother-in-law did not object, and her daughter was quite cute and cute.
It's his own problems, his identity, his job, and he doesn't want to give up his persistence in his career, and if he has a family, for the sake of his wife and children, he must do something against his will. If you come to a relatively stable life.
The two of them just dragged along like this, the problem has not been brought to the table, after all, life is still young.
What he has to do, at first, is to use the money he used to recruit chickens and go clubbing in the past to buy some toys, snacks, and ingredients, and then enjoy family happiness with the three women.
To be honest, it doesn't feel bad. For a person like him who still has a longing for beauty in his heart, it's really better than asking for flowers, getting drunk and gambling with money.
Although that kind of life was exciting at the time, there was always an indescribable emptiness afterwards, as well as the annoyance of wanting to slap myself, unlike now, it is more warm in retrospect.
On the night of December 17, he was having sex with his concubine, Marisa, and had a request for communication.
Liberty looked at the time and muttered, "Who? Are you still in touch at this late hour?"
It turned out to be Kane.
Kane said in his usual style: "You know, the game we are playing now is not to build the west, but the bugs are coming, so this place is called Fort Sanctuary. Tomorrow will be the last northern cruise, and after that, we will destroy the north." All the places outside the Shelter Fort are treated as no man's land. This is an operation involving the entire Marsala, and other NLDs and garrisons will also do the same in their own jurisdictions."
"I won't speculate on what other colleagues will do, but we need you to give this series a perfect ending. What I mean is that the ending may not be happy, but we have done what we can..."
"Of course, Sir, I'm happy to help." Liberty had been on the Nord II for more than half a year, and he was somewhat tainted with military style, which showed it unconsciously.
"Okay, tomorrow at 6:40 in the morning, gather at the Armed Forces Department, don't be late, you have to be armed this time."
Kane said and hung up the connection.
Marisa came over and hugged him from behind, and asked with concern: "Dangerous mission?"
Liberty nodded: "One thing, but I'm following the most powerful human army in Marsala. If you can't get safety here, it can only be said that my luck is too bad."
"Then, come to bed, I'll help you get lucky." Marisa said and started to move
"Marisa, I have to get up early tomorrow..."
The next day, Liberty showed up at the Armed Forces Department on time, and the acquaintance joked, "You got ripped off last night! How can you still play this?"
Liberty is used to getting along with this gang of troopers, and laughed and scolded: "I still have electric ones to play with! They are very strong!"
That's right, electric. This is a feature of the power armor of the Northern Democratic League. Instead of using fuel rods containing high-energy gas components, it uses high-energy batteries.
The human science and technology tree in the Koprulu star area is a bit crooked. Instead of doing in-depth research on efficient charging and power storage, they have developed a new cheap energy source, super gas.
The main component of gas is methane, and methane is a relatively common resource in nature, and it is the simplest organic compound.
Human beings in the Koprulu star area have made a major breakthrough in the field of organic matter energy, which has an important relationship with the general geological environment of this star area.
Adapting to the environment and using resources is what humans have always done.
Therefore, from the perspective of resource mining and utilization, silicon crystal and high-energy gas do have great advantages, and it is reasonable to click on the technology tree.
Of course, Kane will not be satisfied with simply stealing and imitating. His iron-blooded swarm needs to play around in different universes. Other universes do not have silicon crystals and high-energy gas for him to use.
This makes Greybeard's technical system look a bit different, but it doesn't look like a new technology, but a very mature product. Some people have already suspected that Greybeard has received funding from the earth to have such a performance.
Liberty doesn't really care about these things, he thinks Kane's idea is quite practical. For example, the civilian induction exoskeleton can be easily and practically used without special CMC training.
The basic condition for the user is to perform a minimally invasive surgery, which will change part of the characteristics of the third cervical vertebra and create a nerve ring made of carbon nanometers.
The nerves can also decipher the signals transmitted by the body and brain into computer programming language through the connection of special nerve-like bundles of optical fibers.
The final effect is that how to control one's own body in normal times can control the exoskeleton now, and the coordination and micro-integration are all done by the computer.
The neural loop is also a neural signal generator, which can convert programming language into neural signals that can be recognized by the human brain.
So wearing this kind of exoskeleton is like an extension of the limbs. Except that there is no pain, it is basically the same as using your own body.
The exoskeleton is divided into frame and internal adjustment, which enables users to adjust their armor state to a comfortable level. The CMC of the Star Marine Corps does not have such versatility, and their power armor is tailor-made.
It is conceivable that the militiamen have obtained the power armor eliminated by the soldiers, so it is not that the armor adapts to people, but that people adapt to the armor. If it is not suitable, find a way to make up for it, which also affects the combat effectiveness to a considerable extent.
"Northern People's League, and even the militia in Marsala today, are probably the most wealthy militia!" Liberty looked at his entourage this time. I feel that this team is more aggressive than the one I saw in Alpha Squadron, the kind of big name.
Interestingly, there is no ordinary CMC in the ranks of the Northern Democratic League.
Either they are heavy assault infantry, or those of marauders and firebats, or 5-4 armored infantry uniforms, which look heavy and tall. These are all muscular men belonging to the gray beard group who exercise crazily when they have nothing to do.
Or shield fighters, but people who are not from the Northern Democratic League usually call them three hands. Because their primary firearms, modified Gauss rifles, are wielded through so-called angel arms behind the shoulders.
The angel arm is like a gun rack, and also like a pair of short arms, controlling the rifle and shooting. This part of the operation is controlled by the special shooting software of the computer, and the human is mainly responsible for judging and issuing shooting orders.
Kane said about this: "I have never had high hopes for the shooting level of the militia. You are not professional soldiers. You are better at production than at war. You can't even play CMC without auxiliary systems. You can't run. Stable, not to mention the completion of tactical actions with quality and quantity."
"I don't blame you, what I want to say is. People have to be brave enough to admit that they are not good at something. It is not shameful. We will find a way to solve it. We let the professional do professional things. Since we need auxiliary software, we will not twist it. Just pretending we can do it, we simply hand over this piece to the computer, and we are only responsible for the basic part.”
So the shield warrior is really responsible for the very basic part, protecting himself with a large shield made of up to 7 layers of materials in his hand, and if an enemy rushes up, he will chop his mother with a chainsaw sword.
Liberty said in one of his series of reports dedicated to describing Graybeard: "This is the group of people I agree with who are good at fighting. They don't shy away from their shortcomings, they don't show off, and if you find They're doing it, and you have to tell yourself they're really good at that."
The design of the shield warrior gave the militiamen a level of confidence. Although this kind of power armor has no hands at all, but whenever the militiamen press the switch of the chain saw with their fingers hidden in the forearm of the power armor, they hear the buzzing sound. Humming powerful roar, whenever a thick shield stands in front of them, the militiamen feel that they are armed to the teeth. Even if they are running and fleeing, they can pour quite fierce firepower on the pursuers.
And what Liberty was armed with was the scout armor suit called Abyss II.
This kind of armor suit is not a series of power armor, and the design concept is different.
It is an induction suit + modular armor. The induction suit is like a diving suit, evenly distributed with a metal grid with regular hexagons. It clings to the skin, unimaginably tight, and is called the second skin.
This sensory suit is really like the skin that can regulate body temperature and discharge waste.
The modular armor is also very compact, and can be snapped on to the induction suit like a Velcro, provided that the induction suit is activated.
At first glance, this kind of armor suit seems to be armor of cold weapon level, but in fact it is a high-tech product. It directly participates in the operation of human muscles. Through a biochemical agent, the armor is tightly bound to the human body texture, which can amplify the strength of the muscles, adjust the center of gravity and the way of exertion, and allow people to run super fast. It can also explode with great power. Although it has a time limit, it is very flexible.
What Kane said about this is: "It is actually an intelligent auxiliary facility, which teaches humans how to make the most of their own physical strength. Including the part beyond the limit, it is actually the strength of the person himself, but most people can't play it well, just like Most people have the ability to parkour, but there are always only a few who can do it well.”
This series of armor suits is called nano armor. It was used by the scouts of the Northern Democratic League, and those who claimed that the gray beards were supported by human technology on earth mainly pulled this little braid.
The development of a series of military products cannot be created out of thin air. There is no such series in the Koprulu star area, and the earth has been playing well in the past. Its nano-armor has even achieved a mixture of artificial muscle fibers and human muscle fibers. The point, known as the flesh and blood golem, was a standard equipment on the battlefield in a certain period.
