Chapter 37 Trivia
"What is this?" Li picked up the clothes in front of him and rubbed them. "It's not cloth or glue. The material is a little strange.
"Lord Li, have you also noticed the extraordinaryness of this suit? It took me a lot of effort to get this combat suit from the mechanical god religion. Jacob picked up the clothes in front of Li, shook it hard, and a black all-in-one colloidal clothing appeared in front of Li. This is the latest detector equipment, which is still in the laboratory stage. A gravity interference device is attached to the clothing. When it is activated, it can distort the surrounding light. With a cloak made of special materials, it can enter the state of invisibility. It is equipped with a small super battery, which can ensure a 24-hour stealth state when fully charged. And this cloak can not only be waterproof and insulated, but also change color like the skin of the chameleon when entering the camouflage state.
In addition, there is a cherished equipment, a multi-purpose telescope called "Earl Glasses", which can not only view objects from a long distance, but also switch to low-light vision, infrared vision and other modes, but this thing looks like a single-piece glasses often used by nobles, with a golden frame. In it is a thin transparent lens, and a gold chain is connected to the frame. After the lens is mounted on the bridge of the nose, the feet of the glasses are naturally glued to the skin. Even if you exercise vigorously, you will not worry that the glasses will fall off.
Finally, there is a heavy single-handed explosive sniper rifle. The length of this sniper rifle is 1.7 meters, and the height is almost the height of Li.
Put on the scout costume, put on the lenses, put on the special black cloak, and step on the explosive sniper rifle, and a fresh scout came out.
Then there is the corresponding test and fine-tuning. For the test of the invisible function and the test of the cloak discoloration function, with the help of a mechanical priest, Li's equipment was quickly debugged to the best state. The next step is to learn the daily maintenance method and simple repair of the equipment. Li spent all three days on the test site, but it was worth it for Li, because this was the only chance for him to go back to the battlefield.
Li, who has shrunk, is only 1.75 meters. With his height, it is impossible for him to wear the "power armor" used by the interstellar warriors to fight, because there is no his number at all. Among the Star Warriors, even the shortest is more than two meters tall, so he can't find the "power armor" suitable for Li in the whole empire, and now Li's strength is not as good as before. Even if he wears the power armor, it is difficult for him to return to the front line of the battlefield to fight as before.
Li knew this very well, so he found himself a new position suitable for himself on the battlefield, that is, the scout.
In battle, scouts can be used as snipers to provide accurate long-range fire support for the battlefield. Outside the battlefield, scouts are also the eyes of the whole team, providing detailed information about the enemy for the whole unit, and can also attack important strategic points of the enemy at the right time.
After the basic equipment on his body was fully confirmed, Li Tong Jacob left the test site and walked all the way home.
Although it was late at night, both of them were very excited and constantly discussed the future of the Knights Templar, from the basic rights structure to the construction of the base, from the training of soldiers to the choice of tactics. In the city at the beginning of the lanterns, the two walked in the streets and alleys with a classical atmosphere and unconsciously returned to Luo Lang's home. Now this is the office of the Knights Templar to the earth.
Opening the door, a young voice came from the dark room, "Lord Li, are you back? Oh? And Lord Jacob." Someone had been waiting in the room for a long time.
"Is it the priest of Bell?" Li casually turned on the light, and the orange light lit up the appearance of the people in the room. In the aesthetic view of ordinary people, the appearance of the people in the room looked really strange. If he saw him for the first time, Li would be scared by his appearance. The man known as the ab of Bell wore a green-trimmed gray robe with his hands in his long sleeves. Behind him was four robotic arms like octopus tentacles, like a realistic version of "Dr. Octopus". He has a cold and almost frozen face. One eye on his face is a normal human eye, and the other eye is a mechanical eye like a telescope. If it weren't for the messy machinery on his body, the priest Bell should be a rare handsome man.
"It's right here. I'm waiting here to submit a report to you." As he spoke, the mechanical arm behind the ab's priest Bell twisted and took out a report document and put it on Li's desk. "The detailed information is in the report. This task finally lives up to the trust of the adults."
Li opened the report, turned it over casually, and then closed the document with a lot of data and a large number of professional vocabulary. Li casually asked casually, "I just came back from Mars. Is it going well all the way?" How about our warship?
Reverend Bell is a mechanical ab from Mechanicism. He joined Lee's Order as a logistics officer a few days ago. Along with Reverend Bell was Martin, a priest from the church. Luther, the first mission of the two was to go to Mars to receive the knights' warships.
"It went very smooth. We completed the delivery of the warship on Mars. We got a lunar-class cruiser. I checked it carefully. The new warship is perfect," he said professionally. Even Bell, who has been cold, couldn't help but be excited. "The design of the lunar-class cruiser is simple, durable, and monthly cruiser. Even if the ship cannot be compared with the imperial battleships in terms of firepower, tonnage, load and other aspects, it is better than simplicity. In the general honeycomb planet or the manufacturing world, it is enough to provide maintenance and maintenance for the lunar cruiser. If we can get the permission of the Imperial Navy in the future, we can even try to build a lunar-class cruiser. All I can say is that this is a genius design.
"Can it be repaired or even manufactured by yourself?" Li was stared. He couldn't believe it. "You're talking about a cruiser that can sail in the Milky Way. Is this possible?"
"Yes," Bell affirmed, "Your excelldon't forget that there is a casting world that belongs to you in the Far East."
"But the manufacturing world is only one level." As far as the planet level is concerned, the first level is the lowest level. For the empire, such a casting world is just beginning, and for the huge empire, this planet is of little value.
"It doesn't matter. The lunar cruiser Delos King was built in a wild world. The local indigenous people excavated and melted metal for the empire, and then offered them to the 'Air Temple' built by the planetary governor as a sacrifice. A complete casting world is much better than a wild world.
"That's great. When will the warship be put into use?"
"It will take another two months to use her." Bell explained: "The lunar-class cruiser was originally intended to be handed over to the Imperial Navy, focusing on the firepower, armor and cruise speed of warships. This design is not suitable for our Knights Templar and cannot be used. So I have sent it to the Mars dock for transformation. With this, the robotic arm behind Bell took out a scroll from his briefcase and put it on the table. The dexterous robotic arm smoothly unfolded the scroll in front of the two. This is the cabin map of the lunar cruiser. Bell pointed to a building above the cruiser and said, "This is the best of the whole cruiser. The location is wide and comfortable. It was first to be transformed and will be transformed into a church. In fact, the transformation should have begun. Pastor Martin did not come back together, just to stay on Mars to personally supervise the transformation of the church. Although he only looks at the simple schematic diagram, Li can also imagine the scale of the church. Although the lunar-class cruiser is petite among naval ships, this warship is also used for interstellar travel. Its size is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. The aircraft carrier in the previous life is comparable to this lunar cruiser. Get up like a small boat by the lake.
If we only look at the area and scale, then this church should be comparable to the Cologne church in Germany, and it should be far better than the German church in terms of details.
Of course, such a large church is placed on a cruiser for combat, not to mention spending so much effort to carve exquisite reliefs, find exquisite stained glass, and build large pipe organs; and it must be said that people who know aviation navigation know the space above the ship. How important it is for a ship for navigation. Sometimes, with more space, you can install more resources, maybe more shells to destroy the enemy, more resources to prolong your life, and more goods to make money. In a word, now Li is asking himself so secretly in his mind, is it a little strange to do so?
Of course it's strange. In fact, it's hard to describe it with the word strange. The top priority for warships to undergo transformation is not weapons facilities, environmental facilities, or different space engines, power boilers, and external armor of ships. Yes, these most important things for a warship need to be put aside first, the highest priority, and the most important thing is the church. This is simply strange. You should know that even the Japanese during World War II would not build a shrine on their warships.
But Li just nodded and said affirmatively, "It should be so."
Yes, Li must agree with this, and should also agree with this strange behavior without reservation. Because in the sacred empire, you must always show your heartfelt praise and infinite respect for the great emperor, and the magnificent church built for the emperor is undoubtedly an excellent way to express this mood.
Just like in another world, in a certain era of the flower-growing empire, people will hold the red treasure book in a group photo, hold the red treasure book in their wedding photos, and often quote the quotations of the red treasure book when they speak. In that era, if you show disrespect to the leader in your words, it is enough to make your life dangerous. Come on. Such behavior seems silly and difficult to imagine, but it is the style of that era. If you are in that era and full of such enthusiastic fanatics, you'd better bring yourself a red book and make yourself fanatic, at the same time, at least disguise yourself like that.
It's really good for everyone to wake up alone, but it's obvious that people who show this will easily be annoying, and most of them have no good end. Bruno insisted on his ideals and was burned alive, but in the eyes of some people, this is purely a single-minded stupid behavior. Can you do it? Who revolves around the earth and the sun? What is the impact on human life? It doesn't seem worth it to give your life for something that has nothing to do with life.
Of course, people who give their lives for the sake of illusory truths, or ideas in their minds, are undoubtedly great. Unfortunately, Li is not such a person.
So even if Li knows that the emperor himself has always regarded himself as a person, he is also very disgusted with his mythical behavior. He also knows that it is stupid to spend precious space and resources just to build a huge church on a warship. He is also disgusted with those fanatical letters in his heart. The behavior of the admirer, but he still has to show a happy look.
"Do you need us to do anything?" Li added, "Is there an excellent master who builds the pipe organ on Mars?"
The corners of the priest Bell's mouth tilted slightly, showing an undisguised sneer: "Don't worry, if you can't do anything on Mars, then you can't do it anywhere in the universe. After all, Mars is the headquarters of the great mechanical religion, where there are the best engineers in the whole galaxy.
"That's great. I can't wait to see the church. Let's continue."
"Yes, sir, the renovation of the operating room will begin immediately after the renovation of the church is completed. In the future, most of the soldiers' operations and regimental ceremonies can be completed on the warship. The carrier-borne guns on the lower deck of the warship will be removed, thus adding four space capsule launchers. Most of the battles of the Star Wars Group take place on the surface of the planet. Air firepower can hit the enemy, but if you want to really defeat or even destroy the enemy, you still need ground power. The airborne warehouse is the way for the Star Wars to enter the planet from the starry sky.
"And according to your idea, I found an ancient weapon in the library of Mars, and I believe that this weapon can meet your requirements." A book of instructions is placed in front of Li, "Orbital laser satellite weapons can achieve firepower control and precise strike under the condition of accurate positioning guidance."
"Fire control and precise strike, well, how much can it be done?"
"From lighting a cigarette for you to completely destroying a standard three-story underground fortification."
"Well, I need four such satellites and add a platform on the cruiser that can launch and recover these satellites."
Bell's manipulator wrote down Li's request. He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Lord Li, I'm sorry, I'd like to know what's the use of this weapon?" In terms of power, it is far less than the direct shelling of warships, and it does not seem appropriate as air support.
"First of all, the shelling is not accurate, the coverage shooting is very good, but it is difficult to strike accurately, and the warship cannot be in a good shooting position at any time. Secondly, and most importantly, the enemy can easily infer the position of the warship through the shelling track. We are a cruiser and can't stand it a few times. The battle group has just been formed, and the warship must not be injured. It is not difficult and expensive to make this kind of satellite. Even if it is discovered and destroyed by the enemy, it is nothing.
"I see. Then the final renovation will be the living and leisure area. There will be three gyms, a conference room, and a hangar on the ship. Above, the overall transformation of the warship is expected to be two months. The mechanical slaves used to maintain the normal operation of the warship have also been put in place and have now participated in the transformation of the warship. Above, the report on the battleship has been completed.
"Very good, well done." Li nodded, "Is there anything wrong with our warship?"
"Actually, there is one more thing, my lord, according to the rules, you need to name the warship."
"It's a name again. I'm not very good at this kind of thing," Li grabbed his head. "Let's call it Silver Wing, Silver Wing. Well, the battleship is over. How's Laurent doing recently?
"The physical examination has been completed, and the matching gene has been found from the gene pool. Lord Laurent meets the surgical conditions. After the transformation of the warship, Lord Laurent's operation can begin.
"Bell, you did a good job," Li nodded. "Now you can retreat. It's getting late. Go to bed early."
Bell was not polite. He bowed a little, then turned around and left.
"So now there are only personnel matters left," Li sighed and took out a pile of information from the drawer. Those are the personnel lists sent by the Imperial Navy. Li needs to select a captain worthy of his trust.
The captain will be the owner of the new warship "Silver Wing". Among the senior management of the Star Wars, his grade is relatively low. Generally speaking, he does not have much say. He does not need to attend most of the meetings. There is not much that the captain needs to do. Accept the task, and then complete the task. All right. But on his ship, the captain will have absolute authority. For astronauts and mechanic slaves, the captain's voice is the emperor's voice. In the foreseeable future, Li will spend a lot of time traveling on the Star Sword, and there will be no good captain.
