Chapter 51 Everyone in Starship Troopers
Ethan came to the Earth World of the Stars. This world seemed very interesting to Ethan. Due to the original work and the era when the movie was born, Ethan saw a lot of strange things.
For example, although they already have various "flying cars" and so on, the monitors and operating buttons are still very "old-fashioned". Although the movie has "modernized" many of the "outdated" technologies in the original works when filming, for those from more advanced eras, these advanced settings are still very outdated.
Because he was interesting to watch, he walked around the street for a while before starting to look for his partner.
These crew members of Ethan usually carry special amulets on their bodies. This is customized by Ethan for everyone. They can clearly mark each person's identity and position to facilitate Ethan to position them.
Of course, they can also choose to turn off this positioning function by themselves, which means that they don’t want to be found for the time being or forever, which means that this person wants to leave Ethan’s team.
This design is of course designed for some people to feel embarrassed to speak and decide to leave silently... or to leave temporarily, wanting to be alone and quiet.
In this case, Ethan is also convenient for everyone to find. Of course, even if there is no such amulet, through the special communication equipment that has been allocated long ago, they can communicate and contact in the same plane, and they can still locate the specific location.
After a long walk, I looked at the environment of the Star River Team World, and Ethan also determined the specific locations of each partner.
Logan, Jonathan and O'Connor are not on Earth, and they can feel that except Logan, all of this man are moving, probably on a certain spacecraft?
Ada did not turn on the positioning. This woman liked to act alone and was not known by others what she was doing. She probably was playing tricks.
Serena is with Evelyn and Annette, and all three women are on Earth.
Imoton and Ansuna are still together. Judging from their current location, it seems that they are in South America? Perhaps these two people are living in the two-person world?
Betty also moved in the universe and was closer to the area where O'Connor was located. Did these people join the army together?
He thought Galahad and Modred would definitely run to the battlefield, but he didn't expect to stay on earth. Then he remembered that Modred was too young. Although there were many young people when Johnny's troops replenished recruits in the later part of the Star Wars movie, the war should not have developed to that level yet.
Although Ethan has been wandering outside for a long time, it is actually nothing to get this time in the world where the time span of the Star River Team is quite large.
He spent several months in the Batman world, which may only be enough for the protagonists of this world to complete the training of recruits. To calculate too much, he would complete the first landing battle.
Including the period when I stayed in the dark world, Johnny should have joined the tough guys' army now, but I don't know if the original commander in the tough guys' army has been killed?
While thinking, Ethan also turned on his signal. This was a one-way message sending, which made everyone know that they had come to this world and could contact themselves directly if they wanted.
What surprised him was that the first person to contact him was Aida, who had hidden his whereabouts.
"I didn't expect you were the first to contact me."
"Are you surprised? I just want to report my work results to the Captain as soon as possible."
"oh?"
As an elite agent, Ada is like a fish in water in such an environment. Even if the civilization level of this world is more advanced than the time she lived in, it still cannot stop her infiltration and information transmission. She understands the situation of all her companions and carries out some connection work when necessary to ensure that everyone will not fight on their own and can cooperate with each other when needed.
Through Ada's report, Ethan also gained a general understanding of the situation of his own and his partners.
Ada hid in the darkness, maintaining everyone's contact as a free man, obtaining important information in person when necessary, and even telling his partners about the actual situation of the mission that appears to be normal, and actually sending deaths to death, so that people such as O'Connor, Jonathan and Logan who join the front-line combat forces can understand the situation in advance and respond well.
In addition, except for O'Connor and Jonathan who were just ordinary Marine Forces, Logan joined the famous tough guys' troops and has now become the second leader of the tough guys' troops. As for the commander of the tough guys' troops, the bald commander Ricky, who has a robot arm. This guy has not yet died in battle.
This means that Logan is now the boss of the protagonist Johnny Rick. I wonder if Johnny still has the chance to take over after Ricky’s sacrifice?
The situation of these people is not as expected by Ethan, but the other people's choices are more magical.
Annette and Evelyn naturally did not join the army, but had the idea of military equipment. Although Annette was a scientist, she once worked for a large group like Umbrella and even ran a secret base with her husband William, and had a little understanding of the operation of such manufacturing companies.
She and Evelyn opened an arms company. Under normal circumstances, such an arms company with no connections or backend would only go bankrupt soon.
But the situation in this world is a bit special. The Earth Federation has been peaceful for many years. Although technology is progressing rapidly, because it has not experienced war for many years, many weapons are only theoretically powerful. After the war broke out, the federal military embarrassedly discovered that almost all weapons were not effective.
Through Ada's story, Ethan learned why in the film Star River Team, human technology is obviously very advanced, but it still uses a weak live ammunition weapon. Because the insect's shell is largely immune to energy weapons, it has to use live ammunition to smash the shell to truly hurt the insect's vitals.
This is described in detail in the original novel. Humans suffered heavy casualties in the early war due to weapons. In the film, the protagonist Johnny was also seriously injured in the first landing battle and was listed on the list of deaths and was seriously injured by Ricky, the commander of the tough guy army, and was rescued back by Ricky, the commander of the tough guy army.
During this period, humans did not have many ways to deal with insects. The weapons they relied on were the most basic guns and small nuclear bombs. In addition, grenades could not hurt insects.
When the protagonist joined the tough guy army, humans had already replaced the front-line troops on a large scale, mainly by replacing a batch of new guns. These guns are more powerful and can penetrate the shells of insects more effectively. This is also the essential reason why the performance of the land forces began to improve later.
"So that's how it is!"
Due to the length of time, many adapted movies cannot play a large amount of content in the original work, which leads to many seemingly weird situations.
Because of the urgent need for new weapons from the Federation, Annette's arms company was able to open smoothly, because they immediately came up with a rifle that satisfies the Federation's weapon design that can effectively kill bugs.
The energy is used to push the tiny metal particles and fire at an ultra-high speed to cause damage. Not only is the power and accuracy amazing, the ammunition is easy to carry, and the recoil is also very small. The biggest problem is that the barrel is often overheated. In order to ensure heat dissipation and cooling, many additional accessories are needed, resulting in a relatively large size of the entire gun. This is the overall weakened version of the pure technology-made main weapon on Tony's new armor.
However, the rifles used by the Earth Army are not small now, and the size of this weapon is within the acceptable range of the Federation. Therefore, a small number of them purchased a batch and conducted damage tests on the captured insects in the laboratory. Then the purchase quantity was increased and handed over to some front-line troops for actual combat inspection.
At present, Annette's company has been recognized because the federal government has placed the first batch of large-scale orders. It can be foreseen that Annette's company has entered the fast lane of development. The arms giant has begun to prepare to acquire Annette's small company.
There are many people who want to use shameful means, and these people have ended up miserably. After all, Serena did not run around and kept by Annette's side just to prevent such things from happening.
"So you can go straight to Annette now, and they can arrange any suitable identity for you and deal with our business next."
Then Ada talked about the situation of Modred and Galahad. These two knights were too young to join the army directly. However, as Annette's Cherry Military-Industrial Weapon Experimental, they can often run to the battlefield to kill insects. Because Modred's performance is extremely fierce, sometimes when the weapon fails or the ammunition is empty, she will directly pick up a machete and fight with the insects. So she is very famous in the army and is nicknamed Madred.
“…”
It sounds like something Mordred would do.
In addition to these two, Emoton and Ansuna's situation surprised Ethan the most. These two guys did not join the military or helped Annette run the company, but instead went to preach everywhere.
"Preach? What kind of religion is preached? Haven't these two people betrayed the ancient Egyptian gods they once believed in?"
Ethan suddenly remembered that Emoton is now trying to be his servant, which means that he is actually his own believer now.
"This guy won't be..."
"Yes, that's what you think."
Ethan rubbed his temples and suddenly felt a headache, but he couldn't stop Emoton's situation, as it had no effect on him anyway...
At this moment, Ethan felt an energy gathering around him, as if he wanted to enter his body.
