Tychus's deep and magnetic voice rose slightly, and his little eyes looking at Rory Swann were filled with pride.
Despite his bad character and stinking problems, Tychus is by no means a stupid guy with a head full of muscles. On the contrary, Tychus is a man of action with a head and soul.
It ranges from private flying cars of federal nobles to T-280 space engineering vehicles, Goliath robots, arc light siege tanks, and even spacecraft such as shuttles, which cannot be operated without Tychus.
As long as Augustus doesn't care, Tychus dares to sail the battleship.
However, it is absolutely impossible to pursue justice.
"I'm sorry, boss, he just broke my new invention in 2 standard days and 4 hours." Swann pushed his dark green welding goggles onto his wet forehead:
"This villain is simply a master of destruction. The best things fall into his hands and break down in the blink of an eye. I have never seen such a thing. You can't let this villain do whatever he wants..."
"It's better to be broken in the experimental stage than to have something go wrong on the battlefield." Tychus said unreasonably and bravely: "You have to thank me."
It has to be said that a man is judged by his clothes. When he puts on this golden and red guard uniform, Tychus looks like a dog. Of course, the uniform is tailor-made, otherwise the size of all the uniforms in the army would be too big for this giant.
All seem too small.
The reason why Tychus accepted this uniform with joy was that he could rely on it to seduce girls who admired the revolutionary army.
"I swear by the beards of the ancestors of the Swan family, there will never be another time." Swann looked disgusted.
"Now is not the time to quarrel. I know you have some conflicts with Tychus, but this can be left to the future." Augustus frowned, not that he wanted to mediate between Tychus and Swann.
It is almost impossible to get along well with the "annoying" Tychus and the "hot-tempered" Swann.
"Oh, yes, it's all your money anyway." Swann was not always willing to give face to his boss.
"Tychus, I will settle this debt with you later." Augustus has said this to Tychus more than once, and this is certainly not the last time:
"This is an opportunity to make up for one's mistakes and introduce him to this new tank, Swan."
"To put it simply, we found some sites for Zeus tanks according to the methods of Moria Guild engineers - they are actually arc light tanks. Of course, after that, we installed better stainless steel frames, engines, transmission tracks, and reduced the number of tanks.
Vibration equipment..." Swann was much more talkative when talking about his new invention, and he always talked non-stop.
"Of course, as a key part of this genius idea..." At this point, Swann's voice suddenly rose and everyone around him was really startled, which fully reflected the meaning of this plum.
Mrs. Inho's pride in her masterpiece.
“The Drakken Laser Drill – so cool.”
"I heard that there is nothing it can't penetrate." Augustus also had high hopes for this new weapon.
Generally speaking, the firepower of the Arc Light Siege Tank's 120mm Thor's Hammer concussive cannon is already amazing enough, but it is still insufficient when dealing with enemies like Ultralisk.
As the war escalates, the arc-light tanks that have been in service for many years can no longer meet the Tyranids' needs for powerful fire suppression, so new, larger and more powerful weapons have emerged.
"You're right." Swann whistled happily, and seeing his happy look, Augustus and Kerrigan also smiled.
"The Drakken drill is mainly used for drilling in excavation mines. There is no need to change the drill bit. The laser drill can go all the way down until it breaks through the earth's crust. Whether it is a Tyran or a Camorian mine, such equipment is indispensable.
." A revolutionary army engineer beside him also explained the function of this equipment to Augustus.
Augustus recognized that it was Victor Kaczynski, who came from a technological family in Moria. He was also a rare talent, and was currently the undisputed second-in-command in the Revolutionary Army's engineering corps.
Victor is currently developing a new project called the Widow Mine based on spider booby traps. It is reported that the weapon will be equipped with a micro-fusion reactor and fragmentation missiles to further enhance its power.
Although the Tyranids regard the Camorians as upstarts, their technology and strength have always been on par with the Federation in the past, but the design of their weapons is much more crude and casual.
"During the Guild War, the mines of the Kaimorian Consortium directly used this type of drill to deal with the Tyranids - not only was it highly accurate, but the effect was also outstanding, even the battlecruiser was damaged."
Although it is very similar to the plot in the anti-Tyranid drama of the Camerian Federation, there is indeed a precedent. The desperate Camerrian miners aimed their laser drill team into the sky and hit a parked ship.
The Federation Leviathan-class battlecruiser over the mining area made the battleship, which was later proven to be only scratched, run away.
"It is a very difficult task to install this equipment on a tank while still retaining the original power and power without using a smaller and lighter castrated version. So we designed this tank
It is quite large, comparable to a small mobile fortress." Victor continued:
"It is impossible to produce too many weapons of this type, but they are enough to penetrate the steel fortress of the Federation, the main nest of the Zerg, or the architectural shield of the protoss, and play a decisive role in the battlefield."
In the past two years, the weapons and equipment of the Revolutionary Army have been designed with the Protoss and Zerg as imaginary enemies. Among the many scientists who have defected to Augustus due to persecution by the government and large conglomerates or other reasons, some extremely amazing designs have emerged one after another.
.
Installing laser drills on tanks was not Swann's idea. In fact, 9 years ago, the Kaimorian miners installed various weapons on their strange tanks. During the Kaimorian War, the Kaimorian Consortium produced many such weapons.
tanks, and some of their unique designs have also received high praise among federal soldiers.
Augustus ordered the advancement of the research and development of heavy tanks, mainly to fight against the emerging hybrids. Secondly, as long as such strategic weapons are in hand, it will be much easier to deal with alien threats.
"Well, let's see how the effect is before we can decide how much to produce in the future." Augustus raised his chin at Tychus.
"Look, boss, when has old Tychus ever let you down? This is a big guy with enough energy, a good horse and a good saddle." The smug old gangster said and jumped over the grating.
After getting off the platform where the Draken siege tank was parked below, he pushed aside several mechanics nearby and jumped into the majestic tank.
"Oooh - I love this guy so much - can I take her home?"
This tank has domineering curves, excellent armor and a terrifyingly thick laser cannon. It is at least four times the size of an ordinary arc tank. It is like a real steel behemoth. The tank has a curved front armor baffle.
It is also equipped with long-bladed bayonets and spikes for collision, which are specially designed to attack swarms of springtails.
The designer got inspiration from the large combine harvesters in Rim World, paying more attention to armor and damage caused by collision.
The tank is also painted in the classic revolutionary army red and Mengsk gold, which looks quite majestic.
The biggest difference between the Draken tank and other types of tanks is that the ratio of its huge laser cannon to the width of the vehicle is so exaggerated that the tank drivers and commanders of the Revolutionary Army who came to visit shouted excitedly.
Some tank crews who love to make dirty jokes would call this the "huge root", which naturally spread further than its original name.
"Is one driver enough? This is much larger than an arc tank. Can it be controlled?" Augustus looked at Victor.
"Modern tank operating systems are highly integrated, and the advanced AI system helps tank drivers handle trivial matters." Victor just smiled: "As long as the driver has been a skilled arc-light tank driver, the rest is
Just press a few control buttons to fire."
When Tychus started the engine, the Draken tank immediately let out a roar like a tiger roaring in the forest, charging forward with full force, frightening the tank technicians.
"That's interesting," said Swann.
"What a savage beast." Augustus commented:
"How does the armor of this tank compare to the Ultralisk? We need weapons that can fight it on the battlefield."
"The armor of the Drakken tank is designed based on the Ultralisk exoskeleton armor. It uses a new type of bionic alloy steel, which is lighter and stronger." Victor replied.
"Okay, Tychus, save your energy." Augustus was not sure whether Tychus in the tank could hear him. After all, this guy was unlikely to understand human speech when he was high on the battlefield.
.
"Load this car on the ship." He looked at his mechanical watch: "The landing will begin in half an hour. If you want to go for a ride, go to the great plains of Bronte Prime."
When Tychus got his head out of the tank, amidst the roar of chains and the hydraulic equipment of the lifting platform, the domineering tank quickly sank to the dock deck below.
At the same time, the armory was still busy with work, and the engineers only occasionally put down their work to take a sip of water. The eldest among them could be Augustus's grandfather, and the youngest was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
If you want to fight a war, it is not enough to just have an army. The total number of people in all departments of the revolutionary army is more than the soldiers on the front line.
At this time, Augustus, who was standing in the armory, could clearly feel that the Hyperion was closing its shields and making final preparations before delivering ground troops.
"Tell that big guy, it might be a little hot inside the cab." Swann suddenly remembered something: "I thought about it, this new tank has some small flaws in the design. The air compressor and temperature adjustment system are still in use.
The technology of the old arc tank."
"Forget it, let's do it. He'd better drive in his underwear. This is my last suggestion. Hmm~"
"Boss, the main control room is on fire again." At this time, an engineer hurried over.
Soon, the cables in the armory were overloaded and produced bright arc fires, which meant that equipment in certain areas had to be replaced immediately, otherwise it would not take long before a fire or even bigger accident occurred.
"What did you do again!" Just as Swann was about to grab Augustus's collar and scold him, Kerrigan reached out to block him.
"Well, I just ordered the main guns to be activated when dealing with the UED battleships in the Brontë system." Augustus knew that he had better organize his words properly, otherwise Swann would really dare to fight with his boss.
Swann had a good personal relationship with Augustus, and he was one of the few people who dared to brag and stare at the marshal.
Facts have proved that installing the Protoss Ark's miniature solar engine on the Hyperion can increase combat effectiveness to an incredible level, but the excessive energy greatly shortens the life of the battlecruiser's facilities.
Even if it is operating at the minimum power, if there is no restriction, the energy released by the core of the sun is enough to electrify the Hyperion. The energy transmission equipment of the Hyperion is always on the verge of overload. Once
Increasing energy output will cause malfunctions, and major repairs are commonplace.
After the Duram protoss recently recalled the Kalai phase technicians who followed the Revolutionary Army fleet, the tasks of the Revolutionary Army engineers have become many times heavier.
"No matter how well-off a family is, they are afraid of prodigal money. Engineers are not omnipotent. No matter how many good things they create, they cannot withstand the effort.
"Swan quickly regained his composure. After all, this was not the first time this happened.
"I have to say, we must get a bigger ship as soon as possible that can withstand this solar engine."
"Do you understand, prodigal son?"
"Among human battleships, the Hyperion is already considered the largest." Augustus sighed:
"How about the Xel'Naga transport ship dug from El? Although that ship may be older than human history, it is not a problem to withstand the energy of the sun's core."
"You also said that it is a transport ship. Yes, I hope it is a Xel'Naga attack boat or some other ridiculously large thing. Otherwise, you can temporarily put it on your
The underground of the palace serves as the energy source for the defense system." Swann spread his hands:
"Although it is overkill, it can only be used to provide functions for a huge city. My people have calculated that this sun core can continuously provide energy to a city as big as Tarsonis. Oh my God, is this ridiculous?
Do you know what this means?"
"If you detonate it, it may really produce the same effect as a supernova explosion." He said: "When you encounter an enemy that you can't deal with, you can throw this thing out."
"Not a bad proposal." Augustus smiled, but quickly restrained: "But I never said I wanted to build a palace."
"You don't think so, and your troublesome brother doesn't think so. This guy's clan concept is stronger than that of the Camorians. His father Angus wants to establish a republic, and Arcturus will beat him
face." Swann shook his head.
"Speaking of which, there is no difference between the Empire and the Republic. The Camorians never care about this."
Although Augustus never expressed any opinions on this, his brother Arcturus always wanted him to be emperor and prepared to establish a parliamentary monarchy. Of course, the monarch, as the head of state, has the absolute right to appoint the imperial parliament.
.After all, in the original timeline, that's what Arcturus did.
Arcturus has begun to build momentum in the revolutionary army. It is okay for a republic to have a lifelong ruler. If it has a lifelong ruler, it is better to be crowned emperor. Anyway, the Tyran people do not have much reaction. An emperor
On the contrary, it can still control people from the fringe world.
"Okay, I have to go repair the main console. Forgive me for being irritable just now. Some people here have even been working for 20 hours continuously. There really is no one to bother you anymore." Swann picked up his own
wrench.
"When the war is over, I will give you all a long vacation," Augustus said.
"Forget it, you said the same thing last time. I don't expect you to do it this time. For a leader, breaking trust is a terrible thing." Swann quickly took Victor Catchings with him.
Key left:
"As long as you show us what the world you promised is like, these old men, young men, and young ladies will be satisfied."
"How are the troops preparing for the landing mission?" Augustus was silent for a while and then asked Kerrigan.
"All the landing forces have boarded the ship, just waiting for the fleet to clear a landing zone." Kerrigan shook her red hair that looked dry due to being too busy:
"According to reports from our agents in the city on Bronte Prime, they discovered some strange phenomena in the city: strange noises came from many UED military camps, and many citizens claimed that they had seen similar monsters in their nightmares.
The number of mentally ill patients is hundreds of times higher than usual.”
"I suspect that there may be hybrids on this planet."
