Starting from Zero

The characteristic of the Sith is that they are rather die than submit, so Ling did not intend to really persuade the other party to surrender, but this is also a standard procedure. Regardless of whether the other party will surrender or not, at least call it first. one time.

Of course, the result was the same as expected, and the group of Sith people on the opposite side launched an attack without the slightest hesitation.

The first person who rushed up was a Sith battleship who seemed to be taller, but the equipment of the opponent showed that this guy was a technical soldier, not a marine. During the intermission of the battle, the pilgrim leader and the eight companions who had contact with the Sith had already done simple science for us, so we knew very well that the equipment of the Sith in front of us belonged to the battleship soldiers.

The so-called battleship soldiers are combatants who serve on the battleship, but this sequence is amazingly excluding the Marines. In other words, the Marines on the Sith’s battleship do not belong to the battleship soldiers, and the real battleship soldiers are basically technical soldiers except for officers. They are not soldiers for direct contact warfare from any point of view, so in There is no intensive training in personal fighting ability, at most only basic training. In addition, the power armor of battleship soldiers is also very different from the power armor of the Marine Corps.

The first thing that needs to be determined is that the battleship's power armor is actually not worse than the Marine Corps's power armor, on the contrary, their power armor is actually better than the Marine Corps's. The main reason for this is because of money.

Yes. The reason for the better power armor of battleship soldiers is because of financial considerations.

Compared with the Marine Corps who directly participated in the battle and are destined to have greater casualties, the casualty ratio of battleship soldiers has not been particularly high. Although the proportion of battleship losses in each space battle is very large, in fact, the casualty rate on battleships is not high. After all, it is the space age, and various protective measures are very advanced, so unless they are directly hit and killed by the enemy's artillery in a battle, generally few people will die in situations such as the disintegration of the battleship.

This determines that the battleship soldiers will be quickly rescued by their own special rescue ship after the battleship is sunk, and it is rare that a ship sinks and all the people on the ship are buried with them. Of course, there is an exception in the case of being hit by a power core and smashed. In that case, there will definitely not be survivors. But in most cases, the number of survivors is actually very large. After a ship is sunk, it is a very common figure that more than 80% of the battleship soldiers on the battleship survive. There is a too high proportion of casualties.

However, unlike battleship soldiers, the battle of the Marines is a head-on conflict. The battleship between the soldiers is over as long as the opponent’s battleship is overturned, but the Marines must directly kill or at least cause the opponent to lose the battle strength before the battle is over. Therefore, the proportion of casualties of the Marines has always been various races. The tallest in the fleet.

Because the Marine Corps has a high proportion of casualties, the Marine Corps’ power armor not only has a very high damage rate, but also cannot be recovered in most cases. This situation determines that the Marine Corps’ power armor is consumed very quickly. If the Marine Corps’ equipment is too expensive, the pressure on military expenditures will be very high. Conversely, because the power armor of battleship soldiers rarely needs maintenance and replacement after they are equipped once, it will not generate too much financial pressure, and the military is willing to spend more money for this.

In addition to the issue of the speed at which this equipment is eliminated and updated, there is also the issue of the value of personnel.

Like the army on Earth. Battleship soldiers are technical arms, with long training time, high cost, and high salaries, similar to pilots on Earth. The training time of the Marine Corps is very short, it does not cost much, and the salary is low, similar to ordinary army soldiers on Earth.

Based on the above, it is easy to draw conclusions. The training price of battleship soldiers is very high, and the death of one is a huge loss for the army, so better protection is needed. On the contrary, the Marine Corps training costs are relatively low, and they are added very quickly. After death, pensions and other things don't need too much, so there is no need to pay special attention.

Based on this theory, the power armor of battleship soldiers must be significantly better than the power armor of the Marine Corps. Of course, this so-called goodness does not mean that the battleship's power armor is higher than that of the Marine Corps. This so-called goodness is actually reflected in other aspects.

First of all, the power armor of battleship soldiers is stronger in terms of life support. In addition to the basic sealing system, the power armor of battleship soldiers also has a very strong life support system. When the battleship soldier's power armor is damaged, this power armor can still ensure that the person wearing it will not die in a short period of time in space. In contrast, the Marine Corps’ power armor is not good enough, as long as it is penetrated, it will immediately lose its life support capability in the space environment.

The second is the automation system. The power armor of the Marine Corps is like their guns, which are combat tools, so no intelligence is needed, as long as it can be easily operated. However, the battleship pawn is not. Because the capabilities of battleship soldiers are mainly focused on technical aspects, battleship soldiers are impossible to have the fighting ability of the Marine Corps even if they wear power armor. Therefore, battle auxiliary programs and automatic return procedures will be pre-installed on the battleship soldiers’ power armor. . To put it simply, in the event of a battle, this set of procedures can correct the user's actions, conduct autonomous defensive fighting, and give various escape suggestions. And once the user is unable to maintain his sanity due to injury or other reasons, the power armor will automatically enter the escape mode.

Yes, it is the escape mode. The power armor of battleship soldiers will not take them to fight, because battleship soldiers can only exert their battle strength in their own battleship. However, battleship soldiers without battleship are a group of weak chickens, so it is the best choice to quickly evacuate the battlefield and not burden those on the front line.

Based on this theory, all battleship power armors have no compulsory combat settings. For the battleship soldiers, leaving the battlefield after their own battleship loses the battle strength is not considered as running away, on the contrary, they can save their lives. Return to the back and enter the new battleship to maximize their battle strength.

From these settings, it can be seen that the power armor of battleship soldiers is simply not prepared for combat. Although the guy who rushed up in front of him was wearing power armor, his battle strength would be the best if he could have one third of the Marines. After all, its power armor simply doesn't have a few weapons, but it has a good defense. But no matter how strong the shield is, if there is no output at all, what use is the defense no matter how high it is?

Looking at the battleship who rushed up with a roar, Bing Ling calmly raised his left hand and pinched the opponent’s neck. It didn’t feel like Ling was reaching out to attack, but like the opponent taking his own initiative. The neck was stuffed into the palm of Ling's lifted up in advance.

After pinching the guy’s neck, Ling didn’t feel soft, and pushed his thumb up slightly with a click. The guy’s head immediately turned to an abnormal direction, and then Ling let go and took a step back. The guy's body slammed on the ground with a rock-like sound, and there was no movement at all.

The other battleship soldiers next to him froze for a moment, and then someone reacted and took out the main weapon hanging beside the jet pack behind them.

The power armor of battleship soldiers is equipped with thrusters. After all, if the battleship sinks in space, it is difficult for people without their own power to escape. Not to mention the consequences of floating in the universe, if you accidentally float in front of your own gunfire, or accidentally float into the tail section of another battleship, it is extremely dangerous. Of course, it may be hit by gunfire on the opposite side. Although the enemy generally does not use artillery to hit those battleship soldiers who abandoned the ship, the opponent will not take the initiative to avoid these people, so it is possible to accidentally be rubbed. And the firepower between battleships, even if they are wiped away at close range, the power armor on their bodies will definitely be ruined, so motivation is necessary.

However, the technology of the Sith Empire ends here. The thruster on their battleship power armor is a special device that relies on liquid oxygen and electric current accelerators. This device can release oxygen from the liquid oxygen cylinder in the backpack, and then accelerate and eject it by electromagnetic effect, acting as a propeller to produce an acceleration effect.

This jetting method is actually similar in design to the propeller backpack on the spacesuit that humans would use when they first entered the universe in the early 20th century, except that the propeller backpack at that time relied on high-pressure gas cylinders. The automatic pressure injection does not rely on electricity for secondary acceleration, so it consumes very quickly and usually cannot support a long flight. However, the jet backpack of the Sith Empire is much more advanced and has a very long use time, and the oxygen in the cylinder is not entirely used as a jet propellant. The oxygen in this cylinder is also used to provide breathing for battleship soldiers in the powered armor. Unlike the air-filled oxygen cylinders used in diving clubs, the battleship power armor of the Sith Empire uses pure oxygen.

When people breathe, they only consume oxygen in the air. Other gases will not be consumed. Instead, the carbon dioxide in them will increase. So if you fill with a normal proportion of air, then the gas Most of the space in the bottle will be occupied by useless gas. After all, the oxygen content in the air is less than 21%, and the rest is gas that humans don’t need. But people cannot breathe pure oxygen directly, otherwise they will be poisoned by oxygen. Therefore, the method used by this equipment is to continuously circulate the user's exhaled gas, extract the excess carbon dioxide from it, and then send it to the jet port, where it is used as a jet propellant first. In this process, the system will automatically extract pure oxygen from the oxygen cylinder and add it to the circulating gas, so that the oxygen content in the gas from the user's respiratory tract is always maintained at a basically stable standard.

The biggest advantage of this method of circulating gas is that the oxygen cylinder of the same volume can stay close to 4 times the amount of oxygen, and the excess oxygen can also be used as a propellant, allowing the battleship soldiers to directly Fly to a nearby rescue ship or any nearby ship of your own, anyway, there is hope for self-rescue.

Of course. This spray system is quite large because it carries an oxygen cylinder. Those power armors with this thing on their backs are almost catching up with the backpacks behind our power armors. But we must know that behind our power armor is not just a propeller. The thing behind our power armor is not only a plasma thruster, but also a weapon backpack, which has a universal folding weapon module and a small backup energy device. The function is much more complicated than this. In this way, it was about the same size as their backpacks, and as a result, the backpacks of these guys were as big as the propellers.

The weapons that these guys hung on the sides of their weapon backpacks are also a rather weird device. The equipment mounted on the side of the backpack is not a rifle, but a shotgun. Yes, it is a shotgun.

What are the characteristics of a shotgun?

Short range, wide range of strikes, and large formidable power at mid and short distances.

These features seem useless, at least for people in space. However, this is actually the best weapon for battleship soldiers. why? the reason is simple. Battleship soldiers have not received good combat training, so the hit rate when using rifles is generally much lower than that of Marines. then what should we do? It's very simple. Aren’t you inaccurate? Use shotguns. One shot is a big shot, and it’s not easy to miss it, right? Moreover, the formidable power of the shotgun is as everyone knows. If you encounter an attack at very close range, holding a shotgun is definitely more deterrent than holding a rifle, because the enemy knows that if you hit you, he will die, and if he hits you, he may not necessarily kill you.

Of course, the slow rate of fire of the shotgun and the short attack range are also a problem. But this is not a problem.

Battleship soldiers do not need to charge, they need to use guns to show that the battleship is over, or that they are resisting the invasion of the enemy Marines in the battleship. If the battleship is over, they just have to run away, or it is a defensive battle. In this case, the firing speed and range are actually meaningless, as long as they can deter the enemy and hinder the opponent's pursuit. In this case, the range and rate of fire of the shotgun are not a problem. As for the situation where the enemy invades one's own battleship, it is even simpler. Except for special areas such as the flight deck, most places in the battleship are narrow passages. The firefighting distance will not be too far, so the range advantage is totally meaningless. As for the problem of slow rate of fire...In fact, the advantage of firepower coverage is enough to make up for the problem of rate of fire.

In short, it is the consensus of the universe age to equip battleship soldiers with shotguns. The battleship soldiers of the creators are actually equipped with weapons similar to shotguns. Of course, the creators have relatively high technological strength, so they are not using ordinary shotguns, but multifunctional electromagnetic rifles. In addition to the main ammunition shooting port, this weapon also has a lower launch port, which can be regarded as a super large-caliber shotgun, and can also fire a variety of large-caliber ammunition such as special grenade. As for the pilgrims, it is even more exaggerated. Basically all of them will have a face-to-face weapon similar to a shotgun. After all, the pilgrims are well-known for protecting their own personnel.

After these guys took out their weapons, they aimed at Ling one after another, but Ling didn't move, but looked at these people coldly. "It seems that you don't plan to live anymore. Then there is no way."
