The good news is that Shepard finally managed to persuade Lex, who couldn't bear his hope being briefly dashed, and successfully pushed the conflict to Saren.
"Lex, these Krogan are not your people, they are just slaves of Saren and tools."
Shepard tried his best to move people emotionally and rationally: "Do you want them to survive like this?"
For this reason, she even put down the gun in her hand.
This had some effect. Although Lex still held the gun, his tone had slowed down: "No, we were once used as a tool by the Council. The way they thanked us for eliminating Reknai was to deprive us of our breeding ability.
.
I didn’t think Saren would be so well off.”
After a moment of silence, Rex put down his gun: "Okay, Shepard, you are right.
Although I don't like this, I trust you and am willing to obey your command.
There is only one request. When I find Saren, I want to take his head."
After the conflict subsided, it was natural to actively prepare for the attack. Xie Yuan went directly to Shepard and wanted to ask if he wanted to add some ingredients: "Do you still remember the portable 25mm cannon I developed at the time? I think this offensive can be done.
Use it.
And I also made a small gadget that I can pull here to play with. Do you want me to pull it down too and try it?"
"Well... as long as you can lift it, it doesn't matter if you pull it down. After all, only you can use it... But a gadget?" Shepard raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuan in surprise, "What gadget? Make it clear."
Xie Yuan answered very casually: "Hey, it's not that big of a deal, it's just a small multi-functional ugv (unmanned ground vehicle)."
"Huh? Ugv?" Shepard looked at Xie Yuan and asked, "Why don't I know?"
"Hmm... Galax, Rex, Caiden and I, four grown men made this gadget to enhance the relationship between our comrades."
Xie Yuan showed an embarrassed smile: "I made it with some leftover materials. Gallas is responsible for the armor, Lex is responsible for the ammunition, Kaiden is responsible for the shield and energy system, and I am responsible for the weapon system. By the way,
I asked Tully to program the combat system."
"Ah...so you made a boy's big toy...wait a minute!" Shepard suddenly realized, but was suddenly very puzzled, "Galas is in charge of armor? I thought turians are better at artillery, aren't they?"
"Oh~" Xie Yuan has a say in this, "That's because the main gun I installed on this GUV is a particle beam cannon, although Gallas also provided a reduced magnetic fluid acceleration
Main gun, but I’m going to give mine a try first, and then use his if it doesn’t work.”
"Particle beam cannon?" This was the first time Shepard heard this term, and he was immediately interested. "Then lift it up and take a look."
…
This ugv is about the size of a hyena, but it is much thicker than a hyena.
It uses four pairs of mechanical legs as a means of travel and is equipped with dodge settings. After predicting an attack, it can jump to avoid damage.
On the front side of the ugv is a particle beam cannon version that is an enlargement of the Prothean particle beam rifle. The energy supply of the cannon and the optimized heat release device can allow the cannon to directly operate in the maximum power state of the Prothean particle rifle - particle flow.
As a minimum power to vaporize enemies.
As the energy supply increases, a Colossus can be vaporized with one shot, but the scattering time will also be extended, so it will be equipped with two coaxial automatic control rifles.
There is a 50mm ultra-light mortar installed behind the rear of the vehicle that can change the elevation angle at any time and can also be stored in the vehicle body.
The ultra-light mortar has a range of about 80-2200m, which is not too far, but it is equipped with a ballistic system that can make the error of each shell within 0.01mm.
Ultralight mortars or grenades can only be said to be old antiques made of new materials, but the shells are not simple.
With the help of Lex, this ultra-light mortar is equipped with 16 cloudburst grenades and 16 electro-plasma bombs, which is sufficient to fight a small war.
The armor is a vehicle-mounted armor plate with the same level of strength as the Mako Shark. It is covered with optical camouflage coating and has an anti-EMP device built into it. The sides of the body are also equipped with smoke launchers that can interfere with the aiming system and vision.
A small mass repeater is installed on the bottom of the car, so the four-legged device can climb mountains and ridges when necessary to overcome complex terrain.
There is also an automatic combat program written by Tully on the repeater, which can be said to be a very intelligent unmanned armored vehicle.
The entire UGV weighs half a ton. After the curtain was lifted, Xie Yuan gave instructions to make it quickly walk down the gangway like a small four-legged animal.
This test vehicle has no name for the time being, only the code name "test-1", or "t1" for short. It ran down the stairs very easily after starting up, and headed towards the destination just set - Major Kirach and
Run over to where Shepard is talking.
At this moment, the two commanders are having a headache over who should serve as the liaison officer of stg.
Major Kirach has a way to destroy this place. He plans to transform the jet system of a spacecraft into a nuclear bomb with a yield of 20,000 tons.
This "handmade nuclear bomb" will be transported by the Normandie and deployed at the other end of the research base.
But to do this, Major Kirach's troops must first launch a frontal attack on the base regardless of casualties, so as to cover Shepard's "shadow team" from sneaking into the base from the rear.
Therefore, Major Kirach had to recruit a noncommissioned officer who was familiar with Star Alliance communication rules.
The possibilities for such candidates are concentrated on Kaiden, Ashley, and Xie Yuan.
Since Xie Yuan is not here at the moment, behind Shepard, Sergeant Ashley and Captain Kayden are quarreling over who should go - everyone wants to be the one with the more difficult mission.
Kaiden took the lead: "Choose me! Commander."
Ashley was not far behind: "Don't worry! Captain. Lieutenant Colonel Shepard needs you to activate the nuclear bomb. I will go with the Salarians."
"With all due respect, Sergeant." Kayden seemed anxious and insisted, "It's not up to you to make the decision."
Ashley, who has low emotional intelligence and is very competitive, immediately got angry: "Why is it that every time someone says, 'Excuse me,' what they really want to say is, 'Go to hell'?"
Shepard could only look at Kirach to see if he had any favorite candidate: "Who do you think is more suitable for this task?"
But Shepard overlooked one thing. Although Kirach had outstanding intelligence skills, the personal information of Caiden and Ashley was not valuable. How could he know who was more suitable?
He could only use an ambiguous description to express the capabilities of the communications officer: "Both of them are good, Lieutenant Colonel. They are both willing to sacrifice themselves when necessary. But if we are lucky, we will not have to make such sacrifices.
"
After Shepard understood Kirach's opinion, just when she wanted to choose between Kaiden and Ashley...
"Major Kirach, with the T1 cover I pulled over, the mission won't be too ugly."
Xie Yuan, who was carrying a 25mm mass accelerating cannon, suddenly appeared and joined the conversation: "However, with me, I can make your team's survival rate reach 50%."
Siluke
But as soon as they saw Xie Yuan appear, Kaiden and Ashley, who were eager to give it a try, fell silent.
Kaiden knew that in the past, when he was in charge of the team, Xie Yuanhua had a high degree of mission completion with almost all of his subordinates recovered.
And Ashley has also seen how Xie Yuan saved most of her old army.
Not to mention, his 25mm handheld cannon can be used as a mobile heavy weapon and can be used freely.
In this case, Shepard also knew how to choose: "Yuan, you go with the major, remember to take care of yourself, you know?"
"As ordered, commander." Xie Yuan saluted with a military salute.
Now that the candidate was confirmed, Kirach was relieved. He explained the next work to Shepard: "I will load the bomb onto the Normandy and brief your crew on the detonation procedure."
Next, Kirach and Shepard worked together to perfect the details of the joint operation and the aftermath... It must be said that Kirach had already characterized this mission as a suicide mission.
Because he almost even made the retreat plan ambiguous.
After the joint meeting ended, it was time for Shepard to say goodbye.
Xie Yuan looked at the three people who were looking at him with complicated expressions, and reminded Kaiden and Ashley optimistically: "If the mission is completed, our meeting will be quick, so... don't wait for me to come back and find out
What's going on here, Ash, Kayden?"
Then he looked at Shepard: "I can't tell you the truth for the time being. Now you have to shoulder the responsibility."
"We'll be fine!" Kaiden said with a look of disgust, "Just wait and see."
"We'll be fine, Lieutenant." Ashley also assured Xie Yuan.
"Yeah!" Xie Yuan pointed at Ash and Kaiden, "Remember what you said, and remember to protect the lieutenant colonel."
Shepard hugged his chest speechlessly: "Take care of yourself! Listen, taking care of yourself is the first priority, but don't lose the face of humans, and don't lose my face. If I hear Kirach looking for me then,
If I complain...hem, you'll be dead!
If you die here, you will be even more dead!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Xie Yuan was impatient for a while, "I heard it, old lady! You should also be careful, if you fold it here... it's best if you don't set up a tombstone and I find it, otherwise I will dig out your bones, resurrect you, and then mock you.
A meal!”
Then Shepard and Xie Yuan stared at each other, and Ashley and Kaiden also looked at each other...for a long time——
"Hahahahaha!!" Several people burst into laughter.
