Chapter 145 Who is the Heir
Although the biggest threat to the Federation is the Zerg, there are still many interstellar pirates, among which the Youmu Pirates are the largest and most powerful of all interstellar pirates. Such a powerful force suddenly appeared on the planet S36, and appeared openly and without concealment. The news spread to the top leaders of the Federation and other legions in less than a minute.
The Youmu Corps' base has always been in the X Star Region. While they were stationed in the X Star Region, they were also fighting against the Zerg. Ordinary people in the Federation might not know this, but as the generals of the Corps, they could not be unaware of it. So when the Youmu Corps appeared on Planet S36, the leaders of the other two Corps were only stunned for a short while, and then they immediately realized the significance of this matter.
The Youmu Legion chooses to join the God of War Legion.
When Sima learned the news, he was so angry that he smashed the console in the command room.
"Councilor Fan, what's going on? Why did the Youmu Pirates finally choose the God of War Legion?" Admiral Sima was one of the first people to know that the Youmu Pirates had the idea of cleansing themselves up, and it was this news that Councilor Fan told him.
The reason why Councillor Fan was able to become a federal councillor was inseparable from the assistants of the Sima Corps. He had just received the news at this time, and he was also surprised that Youmeng chose the God of War Corps: "I just received the news too."
"Didn't you say you would help us contact the Youmu Legion?" asked Admiral Sima.
"I told you, I passed on all the conditions you gave to the leader of the Youmu Army."
"Then why did they choose the God of War Legion?"
"Maybe they offer better conditions?" Councillor Fan said, "You can bribe me to help you plan, so why can't they do the same?"
"If it's the Feng family, this is still possible, but the Ares Legion is so poor that the annual military pay has to rely on his wife's earnings to subsidize it. What can he use to bribe the Youmu Legion?"
"You can only ask Ye Chen about this." Councillor Fan said.
It's no use asking now, they've already gone to Planet S36. Although the Youmu Corps' joining the God of War Corps has not been officially announced, the Youmu Corps' high-profile appearance probably means that the two sides have already agreed on the terms, and today is just a formality.
And indeed, as he expected, the Youmu Corps was just here for formalities, and the specific terms had already been agreed upon by both parties through video before they came. At this time, in the hungry auditorium of the God of War Corps, Admiral Sheng was conferring the rank of Lieutenant General to Lin Xuesong, the boss of the Youmu Corps.
The God of War currently has only three lieutenant generals, each of whom has served the God of War Legion for more than 20 years and has made great achievements. Sheng Tianxing's ability to award Lin Xuesong the title of lieutenant general shows his importance to the Youmu Legion. After Lin Xuesong was awarded the title of lieutenant general, Ye Chen was awarded the rank of major general, and then several high-ranking members of the Youmu Legion were also awarded corresponding military ranks.
"Lieutenant General Lin, according to our agreement, the Youmu Corps will still be stationed in the X Star Region, and I will not interfere with you too much, but now that you are wearing military uniforms and have corresponding military ranks, you must abide by the military regulations of the God of War Corps." Soldiers abide by military regulations, this is Sheng Tianxing's bottom line.
Lin Xuesong frowned and was about to speak, but Ye Chen on the side spoke first: "General Sheng, don't worry, since we have chosen to join the God of War Corps, we must abide by the military regulations of the God of War Corps. It's just that we are used to being unrestrained in the past, so please give us some time."
This request was not excessive, Sheng Tianxing nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Haoyue has already started mass production. I wonder if there is a quota for Youmu in the first batch." Ye Chen said again.
"You also know about Haoyue's affairs. Did Sheng Heng tell you?" Sheng Tianxing said confidently.
Haoyue is the weapon designed by Yan Hao specifically for low-level Zerg. After half a month of testing by soldiers of all levels of the God of War Legion, the weapon's numerical value was obtained. This weapon has a 91% lethality against Zerg below level 6. In other words, as long as the operation is strictly in accordance with the instructions, once the weapon is used, as long as it can accurately hit the Zerg, the probability of killing the Zerg with one move is as high as 91%.
Although not every mech warrior can use this weapon accurately on the battlefield, it has greatly increased the lethality of the Zerg. The Mech Department of the God of War Legion almost went crazy when they calculated this value, and immediately reported it to their superiors. For this reason, General Sheng once again convened a high-level meeting and decided to mass-produce this weapon and uniformly configure it on mechs below level 6. The weapon was named Haoyue after Yan Hao's name.
Ye Chen smiled happily, neither admitting nor denying. Sheng Heng, who was standing aside unable to speak, was so angry that he glared at him fiercely.
"When the first batch of weapons comes out, I will send some to you." This is the condition agreed upon by both parties. The Youmu Legion will join the God of War Legion to strengthen the power of the God of War Legion, and if the God of War Legion has new weapons or mechas, they must be shared with the Youmu Legion as soon as possible.
After the awarding ceremony, the Ares Legion held a cocktail party to express their welcome to the Youmu Legion. During the party, Ye Chen turned into a socialite and in just a short while, he established relationships with all the high-ranking officials of the Ares Legion. His communication skills left Sheng Heng dumbfounded and Lin Songxue's eyes blazing with fire.
Finally, Ye Chen came to Sheng Heng holding a glass of wine.
Although Sheng Heng is the biological son of General Sheng, his rank in the army is not high. If it weren't for the fact that he was the one who brought the Youmu Army in, he would not be qualified to participate in such a cocktail party. So during the entire cocktail party, he stayed in the corner quietly eating.
“You came up with the name Haoyue. It not only sounds like the cute little Yanhao’s name, but also compares him to the moon. Not bad, it’s much more romantic than the last time we met.” Ye Chen praised.
"No one can compare to you. You are so romantic that someone's eyes are about to spit fire." Sheng Heng glanced at a man who was walking towards here.
Ye Chen glanced back, and just raised his left hand, which was not holding the cup, slightly, and then stopped. Although his face was still dark, he did not continue to walk over.
Sheng Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "He listens to you so much?" Isn't Lin Xuesong the boss of the Youmu Legion?
"If you are well behaved, people will like you. It's worth learning from you." Ye Chen hinted.
"Xiaohao is different from you."
Ye Chen smiled and did not continue the topic, but suddenly asked: "You and your elder brother, who will become the next leader of the God of War Legion in the end?"
"Of course it's my eldest brother." Sheng Heng said without thinking.
"What if your mimicry mecha's combat power exceeds that of your eldest brother?" Ye Chen asked.
"No matter what happens to me in the future, my eldest brother will still be the next person in charge of the God of War Legion." Sheng Heng was a little unhappy and felt that Ye Chen was trying to sow discord between him and his eldest brother.
"But I hope it's you." Ye Chen said without hesitation, "I chose the God of War Corps because of your relationship with Yan Hao, so I hope you will be the next person in charge of the God of War Corps."
Sheng Heng frowned, his eyes had turned cold. Just when he was about to say something to dispel Ye Chen's boring idea, Sheng Zhuo suddenly appeared beside them holding a wine glass, and took over the topic with a smile: "The God of War Corps has always spoken with military exploits and strength. If one day Sheng Heng's military exploits and strength surpass mine, then the God of War Corps will be his."
"Brother." Sheng Heng said anxiously. He didn't want his brother to misunderstand. "I won't..."
"Didn't we agree on this when we were kids?" Sheng Zhuo said.
Sheng Heng was startled, and recalled the distant past, when he was first brought to Planet S36 by his father. At that time, his hand was not injured yet, and he was still a genius that the entire Federation was amazed by. At that time, Admiral Sheng stood at the port of the base with his two sons, pointed at the warships that kept flying out of the port and said: "When you grow up, you will also have to fight to protect the Federation like them. At that time, whoever has the highest military exploits and the strongest strength will inherit this place. The loser cannot complain and must assist the other one well, okay?"
"good."
"Then high-five as proof, no regrets."
Sheng Heng still vividly remembered the scene of the three of them high-fiving under the starry sky, but his hand became disabled soon after that. Since then, he never thought that he would be able to surpass his eldest brother and become the heir of the God of War Legion.
"Okay." Sheng Heng nodded heavily. It was not because he suddenly had the ambition to become the successor of the victorious legion, but because he knew that only by agreeing to this competition and fulfilling the childhood promise could he show respect to his elder brother.
The two brothers smiled at each other, and they raised their glasses to clink them at the same time, and each of them raised their heads and drank it all. When they came to their senses and thought of Ye Chen, they turned around and found that he had left without knowing when.
In the Federal Research Institute on the capital planet.
After seeing Yan Hao's design drawings and hearing Yan Hao's ideas, Mr. Pang's reaction was almost the same as Mr. Zhong's. He was so excited that he wished he could jump out of the video and participate in the research.
"This idea is feasible and may be the only way to realize advanced mimicry mecha." Mr. Pang gave a high evaluation.
"Teacher, isn't that a bit too confident?" As people who do scientific research, they are always rigorous in their words, and they feel guilty when they hear such absolute words.
"That's at least the only way at the moment." said Mr. Pang.
Yan Hao felt relieved immediately.
"Old Man Pang, if you were asked to do this, what do you think the chances of success would be with this roadmap?" asked Old Man Zhong.
"Hmm~~" Pang Lao stroked his gray beard and hummed for a long time. The two people on the other end of the video did not urge him, nor were they impatient, for fear that one of them would rush him and interrupt Pang Lao's train of thought.
"About 30%." After a long while, Mr. Pang said.
"..." Zhong Lao was so angry that his beard stood up. "You have been humming for so long and only got 30% of it. What's the use of you?"
There was some disappointment in Yan Hao's eyes. He thought that Teacher Pang would be much better than him, and he would have at least a 50% chance of success.
"Do you think 30% is not enough? How much can you achieve?" Old Pang asked with a sneer. He was absolutely confident. Even he was only 30% sure, and Old Zhong was at most 20%.
As expected, Mr. Zhong shut up.
Seeing that he had won two arguments in a row, Mr. Pang was immediately in a good mood and continued, "The 30% I mentioned refers to the current mecha manufacturing method."
"You mean, we also need to reform the method of manufacturing mechas?" Mr. Zhong immediately grasped the key point.
"Since we are going to use mental power instead of traditional energy transmission, the conductors must naturally be changed appropriately. If we can replace most of the metal in the mecha with metal that can accommodate a large amount of mental power, the effect should be better." said Mr. Pang.
"Teacher, do you know this kind of metal?" Yan Hao had thought about this possibility, but among the metal properties he knew, there seemed to be no suitable metal.
"I have a few pieces in my private vault. Because they are not commonly used materials for making mechas, I put them aside after studying them for a while. I'll take a look at them again in the next two days. If this metal can be mined in large quantities, Xiaohao, your design plan can be improved by at least 30%."
That’s 60%!
Yan Hao's heart couldn't help but start beating fast.
