Chapter 638, Virus Bomb
[Warmaster-class Titan] and [Groundblast Star Destroyer] are undoubtedly very powerful technologies.
If it is produced later, the former will greatly increase the strength of the Alliance Army. After all, the Emperor-class Titans above the Warmaster level are not usually seen. Only the most powerful Titan Legions in the top Mechanicus sects can see this kind of most powerful war weapon that humans can use in ground warfare.
Unless it is a battle that may determine the life or death of the empire, the extremely rare Emperor-class Titans will not be used in the war.
In a conventional war, even an apocalyptic-level one, the presence of one or several Warmaster-class Titans would be the limit.
If the Warmaster Titan is still of great significance to the Alliance, then the Earth-Blasting Star Destroyer is a bit...
What it can do, the Burning Sky Torpedo can do to a limited extent. Both are extinction order weapons, but their uses are slightly different.
The Sky Burning Torpedo simply ignites the atmosphere. It is not as shocking as the [Ground Destroyer] which directly blows up a planet from the center to the crust, but the effect is almost the same. Anyway, once it is fired and hits the target, it will be the effect of the Extermination Order.
Moreover, after the Burning Sky Torpedoes were burned out, if the planet was still wanted, it could be restored by using the planetary climate transformation system after the planet cooled down. Although this would be very costly, if the planet was really valuable and had a particularly strong strategic position, then this was at least a feasible option.
But if you use a planet-destroying explosion to shatter a star, there is really no hope for it. Some of the planet's fragments will fall into the star, and some will form an asteroid belt. In short, don't expect them to be able to gather together to form a planet again.
If there is a particularly practical effect, it is that some alien races hide very deep underground, and they may not even need oxygen to survive. Burning the surface for more than ten days will not be enough to eradicate them. At this time, the Earth Destroyer can be useful.
In addition, if a planet is hopelessly corrupted by Chaos, and most of the planet is dragged into the Warp, then in order to prevent the planet from becoming the anchor point between the Warp and the real universe, the Chaos army will continue to pour out and use Earth-blasting Star Destroyers to attack.
In short, it is very useful in specific scenarios. However, the Extinction Order weapon is rarely used and has a narrow range of uses, not to mention that the Earth Destroyer has an even narrower range, and it is also ridiculously expensive.
These characteristics determined that a finished product could be made from a black box and kept for backup. Unlike a Warmaster-class Titan, it did not provide much help to the Alliance's war capabilities, and was basically useless in conventional warfare.
In fact, the Warmaster Titan technology has little impact on the current war situation, but it only increases the war potential. After all, whether it is deploying a production line or directly producing finished products in a black box, it takes a long time. It is estimated that after a year, it will be good enough to be able to produce one or two finished products and just complete the deployment of the production line in the hometown.
In addition to these two apocalypse-level technologies, Gu Hang's wave of thirty consecutive draws also included four epic-level technologies and 24 technologies below the elite level.
I will not discuss the upgrades and duplications of technologies acquired in the past. The three technologies that are worth mentioning are [Virus Bomb], [Epic Material Research], and [Avengers Knight Armor].
【Virus Bomb】 is a technology that Gu Hang urgently needs. This kind of thing is relatively expensive and has strict requirements for deployment, but the effect of a single deployment is quite reliable. Its main principle is that according to a certain species, after being captured by the alliance, the genetic samples of this type of monster can be analyzed, and then a bomb with special attack capabilities against this type of monster can be made.
This bomb can be used in conjunction with M-type or L-type missiles, or with macro cannons. Its characteristic is that its attack range is ten or a hundred times larger than that of conventional macro cannon shells or missiles of the same level. With the explosion, the released genetic virus can often cover an area of tens of kilometers, and in most cases, it will only cause fatal damage to this type of creature, and is harmless to other creatures, or the harm is average.
Virus bombs are not very useful for human civil wars, or fighting traitors, or fighting chaos demons. In human civil wars, or fighting traitors, people will also be attacked by virus bombs. Its too wide attack range and certain transmission will also cause great ecological disasters.
However, if it is to be used for long-range bombing in scenarios where one's own army is not around, then its price is a bit too high. It is better to use ordinary firepower directly for bombing, which is cheap and easy to use, and it also saves you from being defeated by others' biological defense measures, such as protective clothing, masks, and quickly developed vaccines.
As for demons, these chaotic monsters from the abyss, their genes are disordered and cannot be targeted. Even the genes they express are different from each other, so they are completely useless.
But it is quite useful for fighting non-human aliens.
Especially the Void Zerg and Green Orcs.
Of course, it is not a panacea. After the Green Orcs suffered a loss, they may also produce biochemical protective equipment; the Void Zerg can quickly iterate their biological genes after suffering a big loss, and the next batch of bugs, or even this batch of bugs, can undergo genetic transmutation, greatly reducing the damage of the virus bomb, and even completely immune over time.
However, biochemical protective equipment may not be able to completely protect against the attack, there is a probability involved; even if the Zerg evolves quickly, updates and iterations take time, and virus bombs can still cause a fairly reliable strike effect.
What's more, if the Zerg iterates their genes, can't humans capture them and then create new virus bombs?
sure.
The greatest use of this thing is that ground troops can carry one when attacking; or they can fire one from artillery or a starship's orbital gun to coordinate with the actions of ground troops.
Gu Hang needed this technology urgently. After thinking about it, he even planned to directly make it available to him instead of bringing it to his home base through the black box factory in the subspace.
Otherwise, it would be too much effort to manufacture bombs from the Eagle Horse Star Region and then transport them here.
It would be better to materialize it directly at hand, then send it to Aramita, directly manufacture the finished product and deploy the production line.
At the same time, the existence of this black box will greatly enhance Aramita's loyalty - which mechanic can resist the temptation of a black box?
