I handed over to another world

Chapter 494 Confrontation Methods
"Are the former ocean pirates so useless now?"

Chen Lin looked at the various reports that had been published recently, and happily leaned on the hammock and swayed, "Why don't they practice trade protectionism? Add some additional tariffs, anti-dumping, monopoly investigations, etc. Shouldn't all these measures be used directly now?"

The assistant standing not far away smiled and said to Chen Lin: "Mr. Chen, you are joking. They have been useless for a long time. Since entering the 21st century, this group of pirates have never been strong. The reason they were able to get by before was mostly because they had a good father."

Chen Lin burst out laughing immediately. The assistant really knew what he liked to hear. The decline of the White Eagle Association's influence was a huge shock to the world. The group of associations that relied on the White Eagle Association to show off their power before were now as obedient as the baby bus. The Red Dragon Association was also unwilling to take over these burdens and was currently in a free-range state, allowing these associations to quell their internal chaos on their own.

These guys from the Western Association had been repeatedly taken advantage of by the White Eagle Association, and they didn't dare to say a word. Instead, they put on airs towards the entry of the Red Dragon Association, causing the Red Dragon Association to suffer a lot of losses.

The current background is that everything has changed. The White Eagle Association's navy has been basically wiped out, and the association has fallen into complete civil strife. Large-scale overseas troops have all been evacuated to the mainland to quell the rebellion. All kinds of military bases that were previously under its jurisdiction are now deserted. The military forces of the Western Association's homeland are so fragile that they were indescribably weak, so much so that they fell into panic in the early stages.

Fortunately, the Grizzly Bear Association, which they had always regarded as their main enemies, and the Red Dragon Association which was further away did not take advantage of this opportunity to make a move, which gave them some comfort.

"The association didn't directly use military force this time. I saw a news report saying that the Grizzlies Association raised the price of natural gas and oil they imported into the Western Association in response to the Western Association's policy of increasing tariffs and restricting goods."

After Chen Lin finished speaking, the assistant asked in confusion, "They are targeting our commodity tariffs and restrictions, so why is it the Grizzlies Association that raised the price?"

"This is the Grizzlies Association's pledge of allegiance."

Chen Lin said with a smile, "Although I haven't seen any news about the high-level meeting between our association and the Grizzlies Association, I can basically guess that the Red Dragon Association and the Grizzlies Association have reached a consensus on this. Isn't the Western Association still pretending? Just let the Grizzlies Association beat them back to their original form."

"A few days ago, I saw that the association was laying ultra-high voltage transmission lines heading north. I estimate that in a while, we will have to build reactors in the heart of the Grizzlies Association. By then, the oil and natural gas resources sold by the Grizzlies Association will have no price at all. If we don't use this stuff to hit those Western associations hard now, we won't have the confidence to take it later."

After listening to Chen Lin's words, the assistant disagreed: "Mr. Chen is not right. We have already started a large-scale conversion to new clean energy. Electricity is about to become the mainstream energy source instead of fossil fuels, but other places are not as advanced as we are."

"Oh?"

"We have benefited from the upgrade of the version. The large-scale use of fusion reactors and various reactors as well as room-temperature superconducting materials has made electricity a mainstream energy source. The price is even more outrageous. Other associations cannot reach our level at all. They need a huge transformation to switch from fossil energy to electric energy. They simply do not have the ability we have."

"Hahaha……"

Chen Lin laughed: "Indeed, they have lost the ability to actively improve themselves."

He continued to read the recent news reports, and through this channel he also learned about the current attitude of Western associations. Those associations that joined the unified currency were considering whether to negotiate with the Red Dragon Association privately. After all, their current tough stance was of no benefit to their economic development. Many places were currently in a state of power outage and gas shortage, and even basic living could not be guaranteed.

The traditional Troublemaker Association no longer has the glory of the past. It realized early on what kind of shock the Red Dragon Association's multinational group would cause after entering the West, and directly sent a delegation to discuss cooperation.

Although Chen Lin has never had a good impression of this association, he has to admire its ability to judge the situation. When many associations have not yet understood the situation, they have already seen the current situation clearly and even made decisions early.

"It seems that taking down these Western associations is almost certain."

Chen Lin put down the tablet and said to his assistant not far away: "Is there any other interesting news recently?"

Anyun Base has been supporting the Star Gate Base manufacturing work headed by Ding Yi in recent times. The large-scale personnel mobilization has consumed a lot of resources. Chen Lin was so busy that he only had time to read the news in the past two days.

"Um, there are two that might interest you."

"Tell me."

"One is that some of our troops on the origin star have started to replace their weapons again."

Chen Lin immediately became interested and waved to his assistant, asking him to tell him in detail what he had changed into.

"You have access to more information than I do, Mr. Chen!"

The assistant pointed at the small robot floating behind Chen Lin and said helplessly: "It's not large in scale. It only replaced the equipment of a battalion. It's just for testing."

"Okay, I'll take a look at the situation."

Chen Lin hooked his finger at the smart assistant robot, and the smart assistant immediately jumped out and showed Chen Lin a schematic diagram of the replacement of new equipment on the Origin Star.

The troops who were changing equipment were stationed at the outpost base. Chen Lin, the camp chief, did not know them, but that was not the point. The point was that after using the electromagnetic weapons in the hands of these people for more than two years, they finally had the opportunity to replace them with more advanced equipment.

The new weapon is called [Star Sea Weapon], and its full name is [Star Sea Guardian-C1].

The firearm itself belongs to the category of energy firearms. It no longer uses traditional chemical propellants, but adopts plasma as the shooting source, which makes the energy weapon have the characteristics of high precision, high speed and high lethality.

The shape of the gun is completely different from conventional standard weapons or upgraded electromagnetic standard weapons. Its design is more streamlined and its appearance presents the aesthetics of future technology. The smooth surface, integrated display and full touch interface are enough to ensure that it can adapt to different combat environments and combat needs.

The Star Sea Guardian-C1 is made of a material called "Star Sea Alloy". Chen Lin specifically asked the smart assistant to analyze and explain the material. It was very clear that the alloy material was made by fusing a variety of rare minerals from the origin star. These minerals each have unique properties. Through complex interstellar mineral extraction technology, high-energy reactors, and precise control of temperature, pressure, and energy input, these rare minerals are fused into a new alloy - its name is [Star Sea Alloy].

[Xinghai Alloy] is a lightweight but extremely strong material with excellent high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and impact resistance. Its tensile strength and impact resistance far exceed any known metal on Earth. It can remain stable in extremely high temperatures and harsh environments without melting or corrosion. However, although the strength of the heteromorphic steel is extremely high, its density is relatively low, making the weight of the weapons and equipment made from it acceptable. For example, the weight of this [Xinghai Guardian] gun is only two-thirds of the previous electromagnetic weapon, which may be easier to accept for many soldiers and staff who do not wear armor.

This Star Guardian rifle is equipped with an advanced aiming system, including infrared night vision, thermal imaging, laser aiming and artificial intelligence assisted aiming, which will improve shooting accuracy and efficiency. This thing can switch the type of ammunition by autonomously switching the front muzzle. Most of them adopt a modular design, allowing users to quickly replace all components on the firearm according to different combat missions and needs.

What's even more perverted is that this thing can be equipped with a built-in micro nuclear battery!

Of course, if you don't want this type of battery, you can also convert it into a crystal battery.

Both batteries can ensure long-term use and powerful shooting power. The plasma rays emitted by this type of energy source are powerful enough to easily penetrate any armor of a modern warship, truly destroying a warship with one shot.

“That’s awesome…”

After reading the entire introduction, Chen Lin couldn't help but say to his assistant, "This thing appeared so quickly. The weapons I saw at the New Weapons Research Institute before were all Gauss series. They have done a lot of research on electromagnetically propelled firearms, but when this thing, the Star Guardian, came out, didn't it directly eliminate those previous firearms?"

"This is a test model after all, sir."

The assistant smiled and said to Chen Lin: "The troops are currently using high-end electromagnetic weapons on a large scale. We have upgraded electromagnetic weapons several times before, and the technology is already very mature. They will definitely not be completely eliminated in a short time."

"That's true. Although electromagnetic weapons are outdated compared to this new type of weapon, their penetration and lethality are indeed not weak. If you wear combat armor without turning on the protection mode, you will definitely not be able to escape safely under the electromagnetic weapon's fire. Electromagnetic weapons in normal version updates are the sharpest spears, and it is obvious that our current shields cannot block the attack of spears under normal circumstances."

Chen Lin then asked the assistant, "You just said there are two that I'm interested in. You just mentioned the first one. What's the other one?"

"The Rock Orbital Station has already started using small-scale phase portals to enter other planets in the Red Sun System. I saw news from there that they had also engaged in a battle with some of the remaining Kara Zerg on the planet."

Chen Lin's eyes lit up. The last time he went to Panshi Station, the staff were still talking to him about the issues concerning the nearest Diying Star. At that time, the landing ships and transport ships were still mining minerals and various resources on a large scale on this small satellite of Diying Star. Unexpectedly, they had already started to enter the second planet so soon.

"Last time I heard that there were Kara Zerg on the Giant Rock Planet and the Frost Planet. What planet are we landing on this time?"

"It seems to be a frost planet."

"Isn't the surface of the planet almost completely covered by glaciers and icebergs? Why would the Association want to land on this planet..."

Chen Lin muttered something, and then signaled the smart assistant to display the information about the Frost Star in the Chiyang Galaxy where the Blue Sea Star is located.

The size of the Frost Star is slightly larger than that of the Earth, and its volume is about the same as that of Jupiter in the solar system. What makes it stronger than other planets is that it has an atmosphere, and the oxygen content inside the planet is much higher than that of the Earth's shadow star.

However, no matter how strong it is, it cannot withstand the natural disadvantage of the lack of sunlight, which directly leads to the small number of creatures on the planet.

"There's no sun on that planet!"

"Actually, sir, the Frost Planet is not completely without sunlight. Because it also orbits the Red Sun Planet, it actually gets sunlight for about an hour every day."

The intelligent assistant gave Chen Lin the answer directly. He continued, "But because the planet is exposed to sunlight for too short a time, the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Most of the time it is in an extremely cold environment. The places where the sun shines will cause the temperature to rise rapidly, resulting in strong convection. This is also the reason why the severe storms and weather changes on the Frost Planet are born."

"So bad?"

Chen Lin asked: "Are there still Kara Zerg surviving on the planet in such an environment?"

"According to the initial exploration of our detection equipment, there are a small number of self-evolved Kara Zerg on Frost Planet. Most of them evolved from Frost Planet creatures infected with the Kara virus, and most of them have evolved the ability to adapt to extremely cold weather."

Chen Lin was still somewhat surprised by the intelligent assistant's explanation. He really didn't expect that the vitality of the Kara alien insects was so tenacious, and the virus assimilation and infection capabilities it carried were also maximized. Even in such a harsh environment, it could convert the creatures on the planet into their own kind.

"There were no casualties after the association logged in, right?"

"Before landing, we used Leviathan enzymes to disinfect the entire planet. There are many storms and bad weather on the planet, which makes it easier for us to deploy enzymes. The landing ship only took 48 hours on Earth to complete the enzyme disinfection of the entire Frost Planet."

Chen Lin nodded and signaled the smart assistant to display the relevant video footage of landing on the Frost Planet. The assistant completed the task almost without any pause - the footage it displayed was recorded by the Probe Landing Ship. As a landing ship dedicated to landing on planets, it was equipped with almost all the equipment and devices that were convenient for landing and subsequent base construction.

The location chosen by the landing ship was at the exposure point of the Frost Star. More than an hour of direct sunlight allowed the landing ship to land on the ice field smoothly and find a suitable base site in the ice field extremely quickly.

Chen Lin could hardly imagine the terrifying thickness of the ice fields. The things at the North and South Poles on Earth were probably incomparable to them. Special cutting equipment was needed to cut them open as if they were cutting metal.

The first batch of engineering intelligent machines that came off the landing ship jumped into the cut ice field to carry out construction work. Taking advantage of the intervals between sunlight exposure, they quickly completed the construction of a temporary base on the ice field.

If we use real people to log in and work, I'm afraid we won't be able to do all of this.
