"It's... it's his."
The young man said weakly.
"ah?"
A group of soldiers turned around subconsciously and saw the body of another person. Their faces showed mourning, but then they were shocked even more:
"You can operate the turret completely by yourself? Even faster than two people?"
This is too outrageous. The reason why the operating cabin of this heavy weapon is equipped with two seats is because one person cannot complete all the calibration and firing steps.
But now looking at the guy nailed to the chair, he had obviously been dead for a while, and his blood had dried up and turned dark red.
So...how long did this young man persist alone?
The somewhat weak young man smiled bitterly and said:
"We have to be able to do it even if we can't, otherwise everyone will die."
The soldiers gathered around fell into silence.
This kind of thing cannot be accomplished solely by subjective initiative.
In other words, it was almost like "he thought he could do it," and then he really could.
It's a bit outrageous.
However, when they thought that the other party was a top student from the research institute, and that if it weren't for the large scale of the beast tide, he would not have been transferred here to help operate the weapons, everyone felt relieved.
Perhaps they were indeed not as talented as the other, allowing this guy who joined the battle for the first time to break the records of operation speed and duration.
"I haven't asked yet, what's your name, little brother?"
"My name is Ji Yongxing, and I'm from the weapons development department of the research institute."
The young man paused and looked at the rail gun platform, which was already largely destroyed:
"I drew the blueprint for this thing."
"Oh~"
There were some exclamations from the soldiers.
It is difficult for most of the soldiers in the city defense army to access this knowledge. Except for a small number of technical soldiers, they only have a vague understanding of things like blueprints.
After hearing what the young man said, everyone suddenly understood something. They felt that since he had designed the weapon himself, it would be no problem for him to operate it quickly.
After dispelling everyone's doubts, Ji Yongxing decided to take a good rest.
Or just say that this matter is really outrageous.
He had been working for nearly forty hours straight.
Since yesterday, he had been carrying out his own development tasks in the research institute, and from time to time he would check the progress of the sample analysis given by Lin Qingliu.
Unexpectedly, [Tianmu] hacked into the internal network without anyone noticing, reminding him that there might be unexpected changes.
Sure enough, in the evening, the military secondment order was sent to the research institute.
The battle on the city wall was too fierce, and many artillerymen died in the attack of the monsters.
Although the city defense forces recaptured the position under the leadership of the super-powered people, the dead artillerymen were unable to stand up and fight again.
Fortunately, the alien beasts have limited intelligence, and they do not choose to completely destroy their weapons when killing people. Most of the heavy weapons can be put back into use after simple repairs.
But where do the people who can operate the weapons come from?
Obviously, the research institute is such a large talent base.
As the drafter of the basic drawings and the designer of several subsequent improvements, Ji Yongxing naturally appeared on the seconded list.
Although it is unusual to send these researchers, who usually do not exercise much, to the battlefield, it is not unprecedented.
Especially for the research members in the weapons development department, many of them have to go to the outer city wall for a period of internship, so that the equipment they develop can be really useful and not just floating in the air.
In the past, there were cases where department members helped to resist the beast tide, but this time was different. This time, the secondment order was issued entirely because there were not enough soldiers on the city walls.
It is conceivable what a fierce battle we are about to face.
Even so, Deputy Director Zhou Zhuo signed his name on the order very fluently.
The institute has always had an obligation to take responsibility for such matters.
No one's life is more noble, so the simple lottery procedure was quickly put into operation. Ji Yongxing and dozens of people from his department and hundreds of people from other departments were selected. They quickly came to the bottom of the research institute, got on military vehicles and headed to the outer city wall.
Soon, he arrived at the real battlefield.
Standing on the city wall and looking at the endless sea of strange beasts below, Ji Yongxing suddenly understood why he saw such a dead state here when he first came to the outer city area.
Especially for the residents living near the city walls, the straight-line distance between them and the strange beasts was often less than a hundred meters. It is conceivable how frightened they would be every time the alarm sounded.
Although I have seen it countless times in videos, the shock of seeing it in person far exceeds all the previous ones.
With this mood, Ji Yongxing joined the battlefield.
Two hours later, the blast caused by an explosion angered a strange beast covered in spikes.
A spike that was more than one meter long pierced into the weakest connection of the turret operating room at a tricky angle, killing Ji Yongxing's partner.
If it were based on normal protection levels, the thorn shouldn't have been so powerful.
It was just such a coincidence that the last wave of beasts killed the previous batch of operators and also destroyed the connection of the cabin.
And the long thorn naturally penetrated through the gap and took the life of a researcher.
Ji Yongxing didn't even know the name of his temporary partner. He only knew that if the turret could not continue firing, he would soon become the next human victim.
The shock of the beast tide, the sadness of his partner's death, the hatred for the strange beasts and the desire for life merged into one, allowing Ji Yongxing's gaze to penetrate the observation window with some information projection, and see the strange beasts outside that were fighting with humans, and the strange beasts that were continuously pouring onto the city wall from the back.
The intense emotional impact allowed him to break through the vague shackles. As half the creator of the turret he was operating, Ji Yongxing's eyes seemed to be able to see all the structures within it.
His ability reached a higher level at this moment. The power of [iteration] filled his brain, allowing him to see more and more designs that could be optimized in an instant.
These problems, which would have only been exposed slowly during use, are now as dazzling as bright lights in the dark, and what Ji Yongxing has to do is to solve all these problems.
But as a gunner who came to the front line to provide support, he had neither a computer to optimize the software nor a machine to tinker with the hardware.
But Ji Yongxing still has himself. If there is no better algorithm, he will calibrate it himself. If there is no better operating system, he will operate it himself.
He seemed to have become an octopus from the deep sea, controlling everything with his tentacles in the operating cabin where no one noticed.
At the same time, Lin Qingliu, who was being burned by the flames, gained a new ability - [Reappearance].
