Necromancer, summoning 055? What the heck?

Chapter 121: The Complete Set of Weapons and Equipment Arrives
The letter from home to Chen Mo essentially conveyed three main points.

First, I strongly support it!
Second, be extremely careful!
Third, the weapons will arrive shortly!
There was no other way; the elders in the family had set the tone, prioritizing respect for the wishes of the "wanderer." The head of the stargazing group privately interpreted this as: incomplete support is tantamount to complete lack of support!
This logic may seem extreme, but in the political climate of one's hometown, the significance of "taking sides" sometimes transcends the "right or wrong" of specific matters.

Although this sudden change may delay the original industrial development plan by two or three months, the worries of the elders in the family have actually eased a bit.

After all, what will be continuously supplied to those who are far from home will be pure and reassuring weapons of war.

According to the family's idea, we should first invest in weapons and equipment that will take one, two, or even five or eight months to prepare. That's what it means to prioritize the military!

Later that day, the first fully armed combat robot formation crossed the vast starry sky and arrived at the Sea of ​​Glory.

Indeed, Han Hai, which has always advocated a military-first approach, already has several maintenance robots, but it still lacks combat robots.

Why? Because the leader of the household has given instructions not to provide any weapons capable of independent combat until the wanderer makes a clear and strong request.

Eliminate all possible mistakes.

Whether it's a combat robot or a robot dog, they all possess autonomous attack capabilities, which raises the question of what might happen.

What if the combat robot malfunctions at a critical moment? What if it fails to fully follow the controller's instructions due to misunderstandings of certain commands?
What if a weapon accidentally discharges, injuring the opposing team or even [Wanderer] himself?
The chief engineer in charge of system support blushed deeply: "I believe our system will never have any problems; I guarantee it with my life!"

"I believe it too, but whether you or I believe it is not important. Can the wanderer on the other side absolutely believe it?"

"Or to put it more bluntly, all our previous efforts and investments could be wiped out by a single mistake! And we haven't conducted any real-world testing in the other side's usage environment!"

"What good is it if you risk your life to guarantee this? If even the slightest mistake causes the traveler to lose contact, even if you lose your life ten thousand times, can you make up for the loss?"

The chief engineer fell silent.

Indeed, the starry world on the other side is merely a world existing in data, an imagined world.

All weapon application simulations in Dongxia are tested on a virtual platform. If a problem occurs, even a delay in receiving a command could destroy the trust that the people of Dongxia have in them!
Moreover, there's that inexplicable magic.

Based on this guiding principle, Dongxia prioritized safety above all else when it came to weaponry, especially automatic weapons, setting aside factors such as attack effectiveness, reaction speed, and lethality.

The first thing Chen Mo got his hands on was a set of clothing called "Battlefield Central Command Uniform".

Vests, coats, hats, boots... In terms of style, they combine the aristocratic military uniform style of Fanxing with the traditional clothing aesthetics of Dongxia. No matter which angle you look at them from, they are all appropriate, generous and heroic.

Of course, its appearance is only the least important part of it.

The greatest function of the "Battlefield Central Command Suit" is its built-in dual sensing system, which allows all Dongxia short weapons within a three-kilometer radius, as well as all Dongxia long-range weapons that rely on fire control, to sense the presence of the command suit.

To this end, Dongxia went so far as to add sensor control modules to all weapon systems, including pistols.

In theory, as long as Chen Mo is wearing any piece of the "Central Command Suit" set, Dongxia's weapons will be completely locked and unable to be activated when pointed at him.

After reading the pre-details, Chen Mo silently put on his command uniform jacket and pressed the activation button inside the jacket.

With a long starting sound, the front cover of Dongxia's armory slowly lowered.

The lord waved his hand, and the centaur squad that had been waiting rushed in and began unloading weapons, box by box.

Unlike in the past, all the weapons provided by Dongxia this time are specially made laboratory-grade models.

Ten Type 99 bullpup assault rifles, featuring a titanium alloy main frame, CFRP grip, high-precision cold-forged chrome-plated alloy steel barrel, and integrated Picatinny top rail…

The ammunition uses 6.8x43mm lightweight armor-piercing rounds. This caliber was specially added after combining the combat performance of the previous series of firearms in the Starry Sky and after repeated testing on several types of conventional armor sent back from the Starry Sky.

Simply put, the conventional 5.56 caliber is not enough to kill armored entry-level warriors, while 7.62 caliber is slightly overkill and the weight is not cost-effective.

6.8 is just right!
Ten assault rifles, with 6,000 rounds of ammunition—this is the front line of light weapons.

Two heavy machine guns, specifically for blocking attacks, meaning that if the troops enter the site development phase, they will be responsible for constructing the outer perimeter for guard and defense positions.

It is also a specially customized model for the laboratory, weighing only 12.5 kg after the gun body support was removed.

Anyway, given the strength of the local warriors, especially the centaur warriors, they can sweep the ground without even shaking, so there's really no need for a stand.

If absolutely necessary, you can easily set one up locally.

The ammunition is a 12.7mm NATO high-performance polymer-cased cartridge with a standard full jacket bullet. The ammunition belt uses lightweight plastic links, which means that all the metal parts that can be saved are replaced with high-performance engineering plastics and polymer matrix, with local fiber reinforcement. Compared with copper and steel casings, the weight is reduced by more than 48%.

In the past, metal bullets were used for stability and reliability. Now, after completing a large amount of simulated data and testing in a starry environment, the new ammunition can ensure high pressure resistance, high temperature resistance, and reliable extraction.

Two machine guns, equipped with 120 belts of 100 rounds each, providing a main supply of 12,000 rounds of ammunition. An additional 12,000 beltless spare rounds are also prepared for self-replacement during lulls in combat.

Next up is the heavy weapons group, consisting of four 84mm low-recoil cannons with sixty rounds of ammunition.

It is also the best long-range area-effect weapon in actual tests against warriors with silver armor or below the third tier. It uses a CFRP wrapped launcher, an integrated fire control system, laser rangefinding and ballistic calculation, and is pre-loaded with high-explosive warhead armor-piercing rounds.

Six shoulder-launched multi-purpose missile launchers are equipped with both ground-to-air and air-to-ground modes, infrared imaging, and dual-mode seekers, and are responsible for targeting key enemy units.

Ten gun-mounted grenade launcher modules are included, which can be mounted on any primary weapon, or even tied to a wooden stick to fire.

It has a 40x46mm grenade warhead and is equipped with three types of rounds: high-explosive fragmentation rounds, armor-piercing rounds, and white phosphorus incendiary rounds, with 200 rounds of each type.

In addition, there are two heavy long-range sniper rifles, two Hive drone launch bays, and boxes full of grenades!

These grenades can be fitted with wooden handles and counterweights locally in the Han Hai region, according to the manufacturing instructions, allowing the powerful centaur warriors to throw them more than 300 meters.

In short, a human mortar.

Finally, the core of this weapon system is the twenty [Rock] automated combat robots.

Unlike the combat robots or robot dogs used by Dongxia itself, this thing has no autonomous action capability. Therefore, it eliminates the need for terrain scanning, active obstacle avoidance, shock absorption, and heavy structures such as lower limbs or tracks.

Normally, you can just hang it on a centaur or skeleton and carry it to the front lines.

The saved weight was all added to the control module. [Rock] can seamlessly connect with the biological detection radar, providing real-time communication and image transmission capabilities. Most importantly, [Rock] can be perfectly adapted to any of the weapons delivered this time.

Phased array radar, reconnaissance drones, and [Rock]'s own scanning system make it a precise, ruthless, and efficient battlefield killer.

Thus, Dongxia has devised a completely new combat model for the Han Hai Territory. The problems of the Han Hai native warriors' lack of proficiency with firearms, their unfamiliarity with operation, and their lack of accuracy have now been bypassed. They are now simply ruthless transport machines. Or, to put it more appropriately, auxiliary troops.

Using the centaur's formidable strength and speed, quickly rush to position, set up your weapons, connect the boulder, and then assist from the sidelines while waiting to clean up the battlefield.

After reviewing all the weapon systems one by one and watching the instructions and demonstration videos, Chen Mo now felt a surge of pride, as if he could defeat anyone!

It feels like there's no need for further scouting. Just stand at the entrance of the ruins, shout "Who else?!", and A will take them down!
However, faced with his parents' repeated admonitions, Chen Mo could only suppress his temper.

Following the family's advice, the first thing to do was to arrange training for the troops.

Saving a lot of effort in training troops with live ammunition does not mean that troops do not need to undergo training and integration.

In a makeshift meeting room outside the warehouse where the altar's transmission location was situated, Chen Mo convened a small-scale military meeting.

The main participants included his most trusted duo, the core members of the patrol team, the captains of the Torch Youth Corps at all levels, and the novice resurrected spirits named Resurrection One to Resurrection Ten, as well as the Skull Corps directly under the Great Summoner Chen, named Bone One to Bone Twelve.

The core elite forces of the entire territory are all here.

"All troops, regardless of race or branch of service, have the primary task of learning the basics of fighting with this weaponry: digging trenches and building fortifications!"

"The video contains detailed tutorials, in both Chinese and English, making it a perfect opportunity to learn knowledge and language at the same time!"

"The training ground will be set up at the large training ground. Except for morning exercises, all other drills will be suspended for all units. We will concentrate all our efforts on practicing the drill manual for digging trenches, building sandbags, and constructing temporary fortifications!"

Commanders of each unit rushed to express their commitment to obeying their lord's orders and honing their digging skills.

"Oh, right... The centaur squad practices digging fortifications every morning, and in the afternoon, I practice rapid maneuvering and combat deployment."

In the battle strategy that Dongxia tailored for Han Hai, the Centaur squad plays a very important role.

They are essentially a rapid reaction force, capable of deploying positions, weapons, and combat personnel to any location requiring defense in a very short time. They can also leverage their high mobility to launch raids, protracted battles, or even guerrilla warfare.

Just like the battle where Kaga's squad once beat up a gang of thugs.

In theory, if an enemy cannot outrun this force in terms of mobility, then with the firearms provided by Dongxia, any enemy could be kited to death.

Kaga straightened his back and gave a perfectly standard Dongxia military salute: "Yes, sir! Rest assured, lord, we will complete the mission without hesitation!"

As for the patrol team, they were also assigned another task.

"We still need to focus on militia training in the territory. In the near future, apart from ensuring agricultural production, we should slow down infrastructure construction and port construction in the outer city and concentrate on militia training!"

"If the main force goes on a expedition to Blood Fortress, the defense of the territory will be entrusted to you!"

Lynn was slightly disappointed, but still responded quickly and loudly.

The patrol team is currently the core main force of cold weapons in the territory, equipped with the best armor, longswords and crossbows that can be purchased on the market.

In the past, this would have been the territory's elite army, but now...

Lynn knew very well that if they ran into the lord's personal guard, whether the patrol could survive a single encounter depended solely on how accurately the enemy shot.

The other party was practically like the legendary "Magic Knights" of the Sky Empire.

What to do? Keep being proactive!

With the basic military training plan in place, Chen Mo checked his watch.

"The timeframe is tentatively set for two weeks, with checks every three days and exams every week. I hope you won't let me down!"

Amidst the resounding responses of the crowd, horses, and oxen, and the silent reply of the skeleton, Chen Mo adjourned the meeting.

"Kaga, Baoguo, you two stay behind!"

Following the main conference with smaller meetings was also a habit of Chen Mo's.

Looking at the admiring gazes of the six centaur captains below, Chen Mo pondered for a moment before finally expressing his thoughts.

"I know that your centaur race has a tradition that forbids humans from riding them!"

This "human" is a general term, and also includes elves, dwarves, orcs, and all other humanoid beings, representing the last stubborn remnants of the centaur race.

Little Kaga and the other horses exchanged glances, vaguely guessing what the lord was about to say, and their hearts felt heavy.

"I have an idea. If I can't ride it, can I take it with me?"

"It's just like when you're carrying things. You hang a bag on each side and put two skeletons inside. Once you reach the pre-set combat position, you can untie the bags and 'drop' the skeleton soldiers down, allowing them to establish defensive points on the spot and attract and resist the enemy's frontal assault!"

"And you, on the other hand, can be immediately freed up to continue to leverage your greatest strength: mobility!"

"Is this possible?"

“No problem!” Kaga was the first to stand up and say yes.

Although they knew that the ancestral precepts were no longer in line with the times, the centaurs still felt a deep sense of warmth from their lord's understanding.

"That's good. Let's practice this tactic properly from now on!"

Chen Mo paused, a half-joking expression on his face, and asked, "By the way, if one day the enemy is chasing me relentlessly, can you put me in the bag too?"

Kaga didn't hesitate for a second; he straightened his back instantly, raised his front hooves high, and spoke with an unwavering determination.

"Lord, you are our god!"

"If we have the honor of carrying you, it would be the highest honor for the centaur race!"
