Chapter 85 Assault Equipment Type Xigu

"He Kui, what are you busy with?"

After analyzing the data, Shihe, who had just come out of the officer's room with a fragrant scent after taking a shower, looked at He Kui curiously.
The image displayed on the screen in front of him was a Xigu, in addition to the design drawings of Owl and Haro.

"I was thinking of finding some funds to upgrade Xigu, and by the way, upgrade the radars of these little things."

His information engineering has been progressing steadily recently, and his knowledge of radar has been enriched a lot after his previous work on mineral radar.

At this time, he can also upgrade the perception range of these small machines at both the software and hardware levels.

Especially for owls that are good at reconnaissance, it would be best to equip their eyes with a scanning device to automatically detect the approach of lethal objects.

These scanning devices also cost a lot of money. Currently, his money has run out and he can only wait for the next round of bonuses to come.

There is also Lux's research.

"Don't be too tired. After returning to PLANT, we will go to Earth and meet your friends there."

"I hope I have a chance."

According to Ed, he was fighting under the 'Desert Tiger'.

The African front is also the territory of the Desert Tiger.

But for now, it’s a good idea to hide in the desert, so that they won’t be able to find you when they assassinate you.

Of course, he should be safe until the news of the pulse cannon reaches the ears of the United top brass.

"But every time we go to Earth, it feels like the location isn't very good~"

Shihe said regretfully.

It's both a tropical rainforest and a desert, it's hard to say which one is better.

"Yes."

At least there are fish to eat in the tropical rainforest, but I don’t know what to eat in the desert, mosquito cakes?
"By the way, where did He Kui live on Earth before?"

Shihe bent down, pressing her soft body against He Kui's back, while her nose was filled with the fragrance of the other's shower gel.

"Asia."

"The persecution of Adjusters there isn't too severe. There are still quite a few Adjusters there now, right?"

"You could say that."

There are not many people who believe in God over there. Although there are supporters of Lan Bos's remarks, they oppose the adjusters out of their own vested interests. Unlike the Atlantic Federation, the top leaders use religion to persecute the adjusters. This situation is much more radical than persecution based on interests in most cases.

"He Kui."

After Shihe finished speaking, she gently hugged He Kui from behind with her delicate hands.

"Speaking of which, there are a lot of delicious food over there."

He Kui said softly.

“I think what He Kui makes is delicious.”

The gentle voice turned into a spring breeze blowing into He Kui's ears, as if hinting at something.

"Really~"

Surrounded by the fragrance, He Kui turned his head and the two kissed each other.

A long kiss seems to suck out the poem and the air in your mouth.

"Not now, let's go back to PLANT."

Panting, Shihe whispered in He Kui's ear.

"I know."

He was well prepared this time and didn't believe that he couldn't satisfy Shihe.

After unloading the asteroid from the former Nova, now Boyaz, He Kui and his companions finally returned to the territory of PLANT.

"You have done a great job this time."

Erin said enthusiastically in the deputy director's office.

"Because of the success of the weapon?"

"That's one reason. Another reason is that the prisoners you captured have a lot of information, including the locations of several traps near L4. Although we can't trust them all, they can definitely continue to weaken their influence in the universe."

"That"

"Don't worry, the intelligence from above was indeed wrong this time, and you will naturally be compensated."

"For PLANT, these are all small matters, but I still have a small request."

He Kui said solemnly.

"I wonder what it is?"

"You also know that the equipment on the Xigu is too heavy and not suitable for combat on Earth."

"I can apply for a set of assault equipment for you."

Assault equipment is additional armor added to the outside of the fuselage, large balancing propulsion wings on the legs, and additional thrusters on the back, with their own power supply.

Generally, after putting on ancient costume, Xi can gain the ability to stay in the atmosphere for a short period of time, which is the epitome of great strength.

It was also an external equipment that appeared before the development of Xigu to improve Jinn's performance.

Of course, after Xigu came out, this equipment seemed a bit redundant.

However, if it is modified on Xigu, the flexibility of the machine can be improved.

"We also need two new anti-beam shields." "Two? Xigu's assault equipment already has two shields with integrated Vulcan cannons."

Erin, who thought He Kui didn't know, explained.

"No, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the shoulder armor. In addition, we at Beam Xigu already have experience with the structure of the back beam gun, so the fuselage can fully support the design of four shields."

He Kui took out a new design that combined Xigu's assault equipment.

I saw that this Xi Gu was completely different from ordinary Xi Gu.

The arms already have shields, and the shoulders where the beam guns were originally located have become shields, so there are a total of four shields on the body. The shields on the shoulders are pure white, as white as a pair of angel wings. From the appearance alone, they are very aerodynamic and stable, enough to ensure stability and control at high speeds.

But looking at the four shields, Erin's mouth twitched slightly.

"Plus, a propulsion wing and a beam gun can be integrated inside these two shields, which can serve as both a weapon and a balancing thruster. After simulation calculations, the kinetic energy has only dropped by 15%!"

"I know"

Erin said faintly.

She was responsible for the research and development of the Xigu skeleton, and of course she could understand He Kui's design drawings.

But the most serious problem is the budget.

One shield costs 40 million, and two costs 80 million.

That's not counting the two shields in its hands, which will definitely need to be upgraded. In other words, the cost of just the four shields for this machine is almost over 200 million.

If it was a test model before, then after the upgrade according to He Kui's design drawings, it has become a completely elite special-purpose machine.

It would be a lie to say I don’t feel sorry.

"We at Sarapai can help you apply."

After hesitating for a while, Erin gritted her teeth and agreed.

This time He Kui did a good job and helped them to solve two weapon designs in a row.

If his talent is revealed, they will also seriously consider He Kui's request.

To put it simply, the purpose is to win over He Kui even more, and He Kui and his fiancée currently have the strength of the red-clothed man, so they can barely ride.

"I understand."

He had no problem favoring the Sara faction over the others, and he had no intention of doing anything detrimental to the Sara faction anyway.

"Okay, then I look forward to Director He's continued success in the future."

Even though the deal was done, Erin wasn't very happy. It was more than 200 million yuan, and she felt bad even if it wasn't her money.

"Thank you."

Unlike Erin, He Kui was very happy to get the budget for new equipment.

Their Xigu had never been upgraded before. Now it has been upgraded with four shields, and the safety factor has increased several times.

The next step is to adapt their Xigu.

The thrusters on the back of Xigu's assault equipment are enlarged. This is not very friendly to the Xigu whose back has been modified, and it needs to be restored to its original appearance.

"The beam gun on the back has been removed."

In He Kui's office, Shihe looked at the design drawings on He Kui's desk with curiosity.

"No, I just hid him in the shield."

He Kui said as he zoomed in on the shield on Xigu Assault's shoulder.

It was a shield that was two-thirds the height of the two organic bodies, and there was a beam gun hidden inside.

"We can reintegrate the two shields into a small beam gun."

"But if we shrink the beam gun to two-thirds of its original size and integrate a battery, it will be difficult to even penetrate the enemy ship at a distance, right?"

"It doesn't matter. We can also use the high-energy pulse cannon as external equipment to make up for the lack of long-range attacks."

"The Grimm shields on the arms are replaced with anti-beam coating shields. The two shields have built-in Vulcan cannons, two beam guns, and a high-energy pulse cannon. As a long-range shooting support machine, it doesn't matter if we sacrifice a little in terms of mobility."

He Kui said repeatedly.

"Yeah indeed."

Shihe is an expert in shooting, so she is satisfied with the armament of the machine in front of her.

This machine was created by He Kui by combining the characteristics of both of them.

Shihe wanted a ranged weapon, while He Kui wanted stronger defensive capabilities.

It became a remote support machine.

Even the external armor can explode when necessary, and the power of the machine will be raised to the maximum at that time.

"Melee combatants are also equipped with two knives on their shoulders as melee defensive weapons, just in case."

"That's good."

"Then let's start working once the equipment arrives!"

He Kui was full of fighting spirit at this time.

"Ok!"

　Thanks for the recommendation vote
