Metal prostheses are very common among the Tianyuan Imperial Army.
Given the civilization level of the Tianyuan Empire, there must be organ and limb regeneration technology, and the biochemical reactor is the best proof.
However, in the Hanguang Galaxy, in an environment where evil poisons are raging, almost all those who have been on the battlefield are contaminated by evil poisons, no matter how serious they are. In this case, if you choose regeneration technology, there will be a high possibility that the poison will be replicated and multiplied together, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Therefore, at least in the military, prosthetic modifications that have mature technology, can be equipped with more functions, and are highly matched with the movement have become a common practice.
Ronan knew this as early as when he was at the relay station, but he was still in a daze.
He still remembered that in the dream at the relay station, he and Lieutenant Gouye rescued Xianzhu's right arm together.
Now it has finally been replaced with a robotic arm.
Nowadays, Lieutenant Xianzhu is more like Lieutenant Gouye...
Ronan was filled with emotions after seeing Xianzhu, and Xianzhu was also surprised to see Ronan.
Technically, he and Ronan had never met, but they recognized each other instantly and even forgot to curse again.
"Lieutenant Ronan, right? Judging from the actual situation, you are younger than I think. Are you really twenty years old?"
"certainly… "
No.
Ronan's information given by the system showed that he was twenty years old. If converted to earth standards, he would be almost thirty-four.
In fact, he was only half his age, maybe not as old as Xianzhu's son.
Although the growth period of intelligent creatures often continues to lengthen as the level of civilization increases, and the more primitive the more precocious, but for people like Ronan, it is a bit too much after all.
Ronan and Xianzhu exchanged brief greetings and almost ignored the senior commanders in front of the Chu-07 worker hive.
He wasn't angry over there and even came over on his own initiative.
Now, Ronan stood up and saluted again, and the latter returned the salute with a smile.
Ronan also confirmed that this senior commander was none other than Luander.
Compared with the past, he has changed relatively little. Perhaps this is also because no matter how much it is remodeled, it cannot be more exaggerated than the original proportions.
Then again, I didn't pay much attention to it in the video courseware. Looking at it more closely, Ronan felt that this person's transformation area should be narrowed.
In my impression, Luander's entire chest, neck and back of his head are all supported by a large area of metal prosthesis. Now his head doesn't look much changed. There are still metal reflections on the sides, and the armor on his chest can't be seen. However, The neck is indeed no different from a normal human body.
Ronan was still evaluating Luander's changes, but the latter took the initiative to speak to him:
"Lieutenant Ronan."
"Yes, Ser Luander."
"Well done. I mean they..." He looked back at Chu-07 again, and then commented, "The arrangements are very good."
Ronan didn't know what to say properly, so he simply saluted again and kept silent.
At this time, Xianzhu, who was still sitting in the transport vehicle, had no expression on his face. He also saluted Lu Ande, and then drove the transport vehicle to Chu-07.
When he reached the door, he stopped there, staring inside, and was silent for a moment.
Ronan knew what was inside: it was the remains of all the officers and soldiers he could collect at Observation Station No. 7, including of course the members of the blue-light landing maintenance team sent by the "Hongqiao".
Xianzhu must know.
Because Ronan had specifically sought his opinions and disposed of the remains and wreckage based on his opinions to ensure that no more poisonous living bodies would breed in a short period of time.
Now the temperature of Chu-07 has dropped to about 20 degrees below zero, and ice fog formed by the temperature difference between the inside and outside is lingering at the door.
Xianzhu before the ice fog
There was silence for a while, and then he turned back. He still didn't say anything, but just patted Ronan's lower back.
The palm collided with the outer "mechanical armor" and made a "bang" sound.
At this time, someone else had closed the door to the worker hive - as for the subsequent disposal, now that the war has not stopped, how can there be any disposal
Basically, everyone is used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, but it is only a moment when the mind is touched and gets carried away.
Luander then praised Ronan again: "I haven't seen much of your work record on the Thunder Cluster, but at Observation Station No. 7, your work is almost impeccable."
"Thank you, sir." Ronan could only respond like this.
"Why almost?" Xianzhu, who was still sitting in the carrier car, picked up the words.
Luande actually gave an explanation: "Because of the slicing instrument, the working method with a safety line stuck, there will always be some controversy among professionals. Although he is familiar with the operating code and is very good at dealing with poisonous environments, I think, For a young man who has just stepped out of the Crystal Array, it would be better not to give too much encouragement in this regard... What do you think?"
Not only dealing with Xianzhu, Lu Ande also came to consult Ronan for his opinion.
Ronan responded honestly: "I have no objection, Sir."
Then Luander started laughing, almost the same as when he was at the relay station.
With a smile on his face, he actually bent down and hugged Xianzhu.
The latter was not wearing armor, and he was originally short and thin. Luander gave him a hug and he was lifted out of the carrier.
"roll roll roll!"
Xianzhu was embarrassed and angry, but there was nothing he could do. If he struggled, it would only make things worse.
Fortunately, Lu Ande just hugged him for a while and put him down: "Why are you angry? You are so ugly now because of these two legs. But I'm afraid you took off these two legs yourself..."
"Thanks to these two legs, the converter can run. When there is a shortage of spare parts, where is your headquarters?"
"It is never a good habit for a mechanic to use his own parts as spare parts."
Luander's smile faded slightly and he turned to look at Ronan: "Don't learn this bad habit."
Before Ronan could answer, Xianzhu laughed out loud: "I am a top academic who specializes in time and space configuration. I am a future shaman who studies the ancient characters of rites and sacrifices. I just want to learn nonsense!"
Immediately, Xianzhu also turned to talk to Ronan: "You have just joined the army, and I want to give you some tips: no matter how tolerant a senior commander like Sir Luander is to you, he should give orders in the end. He won't hesitate at all to let you die."
Ronan said "uh", not knowing how to respond.
Lu Ande, on the other hand, looked at Ronan up and down because of Xianzhu's words.
Xianzhu then said: "But then again, since he has given the order, you should carry it out. Whether you die or not will happen later. And as long as you can come back alive, you can embarrass him. It's still a little better than those people who take your life for granted.
"The premise is that you recognize his face - there are not many people like him in the army. If you use this method to deal with other people, you will be dead."
Luander was smiling next to him, and he was really not angry at all. Even the adjutants, guards, etc. beside him seemed to be used to this kind of scene.
Only then did Ronan believe that Xianzhu really had the face and friendship to introduce Lu Ande to him as he said before.
I just wonder if this friendship was forged at the relay station
When Xianzhu introduced Lu Ande to Ronan, he didn’t mean to embarrass him. He quickly quarreled with him himself:
"Luander
Sir, we junior officers are not qualified to say anything. But now they are all on 28758, and they are all under your command. Can I take the liberty to ask: What are the arrangements for the future? "
He then asked: "Lieutenant Ronan and I have completed the handover, and no new tasks have been arranged. Are you planning to send it to the rear? But why do I feel that it can't be sent out easily?"
Luande nodded: "That's right. Now in the star field in the asteroid belt, the movement of troops has reached its limit. The opening of the magneto-optical gate cannot be sealed, and the control of this star field is still being fought over again. If I really send you to the rear, I will send you to die."
"so?"
"So, the opinion of the headquarters is: All officers and soldiers on asteroid No. 28758 will be incorporated into the temporary third engineer brigade, under my command..."
"Temporarily forming the Third Engineer Brigade? When will we have this organization?"
"Just established." Luande said softly, "The main goal is to strengthen the planet as much as possible before asteroid 28758 enters the tearing zone, making it a 'node' needed for the inner battlefield."
"Inner battlefield?"
Xianzhu raised his sparse eyebrows: "You mean this thing... has changed its course? Going to "
"Go forward."
Lu Ande corrected Xianzhu and smiled at him again: "Now the landing troops have not completely reached their scheduled positions, and the specific situation is not clear. So... Lieutenant Xianzhu, Lieutenant Ronan."
In just one sentence, Lu Ande's face turned solemn: "According to the principle of close organization, you will be organized into the 7th Engineer Battalion. Subsequent mission instructions and responsibilities will be arranged by Lieutenant Qiao Shu."
Ronan had nothing to say and saluted again.
Xianzhu pursed his lips and cooperated.
Lu Ande grinned again, reached out and patted Ronan on the shoulder, then leaned over and hugged Xianzhu:
"The road ahead is dangerous, so take care of yourself."
Lu Ande is a really busy man. He was able to chat with them for such a long time and also introduced the background of the war. It must be for Xianzhu's sake. Soon, he hurriedly left Observation Post No. 7 and went to a more forward position to take command.
As for Observation Station No. 7, Lieutenant Qiao Shu led the team to station and carry out functional enhancement and transformation. It is currently reorganizing the camp and has sufficient manpower. Ronan and Xianzhu have temporarily become idlers and have been ordered to rest.
It's a rest, but at the current stage, it's Ronan helping Xianzhu with his prosthetic legs, and just talking about it.
The design drawings for Xianzhu's two legs are ready-made. Some of the consumables may not be available among the logistics workers at the observation station, but it is not difficult to find replacements.
The most Ronan does is help with running errands, but in the end the focus is still on chatting.
Of course, the topic couldn't get around the fact that Luande led his team to land on the asteroid No. 28758, Tonghuan.
Only then did Ronan have the opportunity to tell Xianzhu the answer he had deduced, but it was no longer timely.
After all, Luander admitted:
Planet Hitomi Ring-28758 is changing its orbit, and it is very likely that it will enter the actual gravitational control boundary of the Chilun Fissure and become one of its satellites.
In this way, its strategic significance is completely different.
Only in this way will the headquarters send out senior commander Lu Ande and the so-called temporary third engineer brigade. They will not hesitate to shrink the front line in the asteroid belt, but also release this force to carry out the attack in the next more than 300 hours. Large-scale civil engineering work is equivalent to placing a heavy weight on 28758.
In response, Xianzhu just sneered:
"What did you do early?"
