The submarine ascended and descended very quickly, but at this moment there was an extra small boat on the shore.
The owner of the small boat had already hugged John tightly.
This is an old man with gray hair, in uniform, with a thin body and a vicissitudes of life.
Although the old man looked haggard, when he hugged John tightly and saw that John was out of breath, he knew how powerful the old man was.
After a while, John seemed to be out of breath and patted the old man, who then let go of his arms.
"It's hard to imagine that you could cheer up so quickly and rejoin the cause of anti-invasion."
The old man grabbed John's arms emotionally and kept shaking them: "You don't know that I was very worried about the commander when I lost him, but I was also more worried that you would never be able to cheer up... Fortunately, you finally let go of your depression.
"
"I have a lot of new friends to help me, and a new awesome partner... Oops!"
Just after answering the old man's question, John remembered that he still had someone with him!
Then he turned around and saw Xie Yuan's indifferent expression. John was also ashamed, and hurriedly pulled the old man over to introduce Xie Yuan: "Yuan, the chief engineer before the destruction, Dr. Shen."
Then he immediately introduced it to Dr. Shen: "Shen, this is mine..."
"Chica's designer, right?" Unexpectedly, Dr. Shen revealed Xie Yuan's identity straight away, "You have created a new-era Kalanishkov rifle. What an original idea."
"Dr. Shen, your praise is too much!"
Xie Yuan immediately held Dr. Shen's hand with fear and fear, indicating that he couldn't bear it.
But Dr. Shen said seriously that this compliment was sincere: "Since the mutant regime came to power, rough methods have caused the deaths of many residents around the world who wander outside big cities.
It's not that many people have never thought about resisting, but the gap between ordinary gunpowder weapons and magnetically powered weapons is too big. Many people can't even shoot through a mutant's armor even if they empty a magazine.
I felt the same way when I heard the news announced by the mutants on the radio on the submarine that "the terrorist incident led to the total destruction of such and such a small town." These innocent civilians were actually killed by the forced deportation teams of mutants!
"
When Dr. Shen said this, his eyes widened with anger and his voice became stern. It was obvious that the tragedies in recent years had made him angry.
"But your Chica has changed its posture a little!" Dr. Shen's expression improved when he said this. "Perhaps it is too crude and simple in terms of structure. It is essentially modified from an air gun. It can be used at close range.
The accuracy is average, and there is basically no accuracy at long distances. After being used for a long time, it will need maintenance and repair. From my point of view, this is a complete failure."
"Doctor..." John saw that Xie Yuan was ashamed of being criticized, so he had to remind him aloud.
In fact, people who have used the electromagnetic Chika don't really like to use it if they have other options - except that it is powerful enough to injure mutants, everything is lacking compared to the original product, and it also requires a hand crank to charge.
Don’t forget, this is the second type of weapon on earth that can effectively kill mutants. And compared to three mutant rifles that can be transformed into one, this one is extremely simple to make - any settlement with a little processing equipment can do it
Make.
Although Xie Yuan was not a professional firearms manufacturing expert, John had to admit that he had come up with a weapon that could change the situation at this time.
"But the faults do not hide the faults. Even the failure can be regarded as the first step for us humans to go from 0 to 1." Fortunately, the doctor is not a picky guy. His previous theories were just suppressed first and then advanced. "The mutant rifle
Accessories plus electromagnetic guide rails and coil sets can achieve similar lethality, while bullets are just steel balls that can be made with a little industrial equipment!
This is the first time I have seen mutants ban something as trivial as steel balls after banning alcohol, hahaha."
After hearing the old professor's praise, Xie Yuan's expression calmed down.
In fact, Xie Yuan is not particularly fond of Chika or the "Tiha" series of subway world weapons, and it's not like he has never used such weapons.
Even though the colonel likes to use that electromagnetic gun, the electromagnetic gun still cannot be promoted in the subway world. It cannot be exposed to water and cannot adapt to an environment that is too humid. It is a failure.
It was only because the rebels had no good weapons to fight against the enemy at the moment that this gun suddenly became the main weapon.
It's the same reason why shell guns were so popular among Xiatu in the 1930s and 1940s - there's nothing better, just make do with it!
…
The addition of Dr. Shen has given the entire team a shot in the arm - as a leader in engineering machinery manufacturing, the resources and power he possesses are not comparable to those of the fledgling John's guerrillas.
For example, the submarine epics sent to him at this moment is a weapon he uses to communicate with the resistance forces on the five continents. With his relay, the development of the guerrillas has become much easier and has become stronger.
But Dr. Shen's arrival also presented John's troops with a difficult strategic goal, which was also the biggest purpose behind his choice to join forces with John this time.
"Snatch an alien starship?! Dr. Shen, we are just guerrillas now. We can't fight a tough battle if we want to."
As soon as he heard this goal, Xie Yuan looked at the old man as if he were a fool. Seize the enemy's spaceship hidden in the star port?
You can still do the task of destroying the starship - if you do it, you don't have to expect to come back with all its beard and tail intact. Seize the ship? That's a space starship!
"It's an abandoned transport ship!" Dr. Shen corrected, "It was dropped in a jungle in South America. It was shot down during the first invasion because the aliens were determined and they just sent mutants.
It was supervised by some aliens, but it has not been repaired or opened again."
"So in order to seize a cargo spacecraft that requires a lot of resources to be repaired before it can go to heaven..." Xie Yuan looked at the ship and hesitated to speak.
After looking at the target picture, Xie Yuan looked at the transport ship that was well preserved but required a lot of resources and manpower to repair it.
The strategic significance of this transport ship is indeed very important, because if it can fly into the sky, it can be regarded as providing better information communication to all parts of the world...
Now the earth's original satellites have all fallen to the earth, replaced by hundreds of mutant satellites.
The force can be arranged and cracked - but a platform that can more quickly integrate global resistance forces cannot be fulfilled by such a fast-moving transport ship.
But this cost requires a lot of human lives to pay. Mutants and aliens are not fools. If they go to this place and capture this transport ship, their plan will be exposed.
By then...it won't be a matter of how many people there are.
"Is this worth it?" After a long silence, Xie Yuancai uttered these words.
Dr. Shen also fell into silence, and then said in a sad tone: "East Asia, North America, South America and Europe will take the initiative and spend twenty days attacking mutant cities everywhere to buy us time and attention to obtain this ship.
The casualty index is expected to exceed approximately 200,000 people.
The leaders of the resistance forces from all continents have made preparations. Our war with aliens will be protracted, but our opportunity to gain an advantage is fleeting... We cannot let it slip away."
"With this ship, we can have a mobile force against the cause of global resistance. It's a risk, but we have to take it."
After being silent for a while, John also believed that this matter was reasonable and must be carried out.
The three of them continued to fall into silence until a crisp voice interrupted the atmosphere: "Dad, it's time for you to eat!"
It’s Dr. Shen’s daughter, Lily Shen.
Shen Lily can be regarded as Dr. Shen’s daughter. You must know that the old Dr. Shen was an old guy from the 1950s, but her daughter Lily is a baby of the new century - born in 2007, she is only 12 years old this year!
Dr. Shen is really going strong with age!
The tense atmosphere caused by the meeting between the three people was gone, and they could only accompany Dr. Shen's little ancestor out of the conference room.
However, when Xie Yuan was walking ahead, he thought of something and turned around to stop and ask Dr. Shen: "Does the doctor know the current situation of the ship?"
"We can only know that the entire ship is generally intact, but the internal details are not clear. What happened?"
Dr. Shen asked puzzledly.
"Do you want to take a look inside the hull first?" Xie Yuan looked at Dr. Shen seriously and asked, "It's also a good idea to evaluate how much time it will take to repair it."
