Tomorrow's Ark, the journey of hardcore and ruthless people

Comand also put down the phone on the other end, looking at the people who crowded his dormitory.

Tallulah seemed to have her tail on fire, and asked anxiously, "How did it turn out?"

"What can I do?" Comand asked back, "In the final analysis, this matter is the same as your recent tossing of Rhode Island operators: in many places, our standards are too high."

So everyone laughed, and Comand took the opportunity to say that it was getting late, announced the dissolution, and ordered everyone to go to bed.

People left quickly - after all, it was not appropriate to occupy the dormitory of the immediate boss as the venue.All that was left was a Drake girl with messy short gray hair and knife-like gray eyes.

Tallulah stood at the door of Comand's room with a vicious look.She asked, "Are you really okay?"

"Even if I do encounter a situation like a black snake possessing me, you won't be able to notice it. Don't worry, we are professional in this matter. We treat it with one explosive bomb at a time, and the medicine will cure the disease once it arrives."

The girl's face turned pale for a moment, and then she suddenly realized how a certain Sarkaz female mercenary who was also playing mind reading was devastated when she went to Kazdel.

"...Command, you can save people some worry!"

Military education is a sloppy thing.

For the Ministries, even the most ordinary "filler babies" who have no power armor or power exoskeleton and can only dangle in a truck have to endure at least three months of severe training in a special training base. Harsh training.Among them, the shooting training alone consumed more than [-] rounds of bullets-this is also the result of the troops greatly reducing the training time after full mobilization.In addition to the three-month recruit training and the three-month professional training for the arms, the former soldiers can also go through training and exercises with the whole division for more than one year after entering the unit they are assigned to.

As for the training of officers and non-commissioned officers, it is even more complicated.In the training of sergeants, the Military Academy of the National People's Army adopts the mode of learning as you go, and each student has an exclusive teaching plan. After earning credits, you can graduate.

However, none of this can be replicated in Rhodes Island.After all, this is a medical and pharmaceutical company, not a military force.Atlas employees can only cram new things into Rhode Island's operator training courses.

——Mephisto found out sadly that maybe the talk show on the radio was too effective.A certain elective course that I teach, the number of electives is actually on par with the most basic compulsory course...

But tidying is what Mephisto likes, and if he doesn't do it, he wouldn't be called Sunny and Cheerful.Just like when he walked into the classroom now, the audience who crowded the classroom and more people who listened through the camera were collectively stunned: this guy held a 95G in his left hand, an AKM in his right hand, and an AR-15 hanging around his neck... ...

Mephisto calmly put the three rifles on the podium, turned around and wrote the title on the electronic blackboard:

"The Philosophy of the Rifle"

Mephisto's first sentence made everyone laugh together: "I think you all know about this class through my advertisement on the radio. Ah, that's nothing. It's not to fool people to come to listen, I don't want to Will do the job—but folks."

Mephisto's gaze sharpened: "This class is designed to introduce why we are different.

"Among all of you here, some trust their well-trained bodies, and some trust their ever-changing Originium skills. But what you are about to come into contact with is completely different from what you are familiar with."

Mephisto raised the 95G with both hands: "This is not an advanced and invincible weapon. It is just relatively advanced. Whether it is polymer materials or smokeless gunpowder, for the arsenals on this land, it is only It is not easy to achieve mass production. As for its firepower, it is only very threatening to most people."

He glanced at the innocent female knight Casimir who was sitting in the audience, and then at Grandma Rutland, who had a revolver in her waist: "Rhode Island's combat operator selection standards, in this area, It is also one of the best among all the armies on earth. Considering the abilities of all the elite operators, whether they use Originium skills to add bonuses to their shields, or they use pistols to flatten a small building, it is not too much to say that this thing is just a toy.

"But it's more than a million of them in the Terra YPG alone - a million!"

Mephisto glanced at the people who were obviously shocked by this number, and continued: "It replaces the cheapest swords and crossbows, and raises the weapons of ordinary people to unprecedented heights.

"Elite operators, not only have unique skills, but also unique weapons: maintained under professional maintenance, used in a highly controlled environment, using specially produced ammunition, operated by professionally trained users, in the design requirements Hit-and-kill targets for which they were designed to hit at distances.

"They are indeed powerful. However, they are not easy to produce, and their users are difficult to find. Advanced weapons are overrated, and a large number of usable weapons is the road to victory!

"Guys, let me make it clear that you can be proud of your unique skills, but never underestimate the other system we have, it's not simple.

When talking about this passage, Mephisto was almost in high spirits: "Like this rifle, look at this gun! It can adapt to the extreme low temperature of Ursus, and is resistant to dust and water. Stone powder or snow dust, mud freezes on the gun, and the gun can still be fired normally when the bolt is pulled; it can also adapt to the temperature and humidity of all climate zones that may be encountered. Deserts and rainforests also work.

"It's durable, it can be smashed against the wall and thrown on the ground, basically does not affect the use; it is easy to operate and maintain, easy to repair, and people who have received the most basic training can completely disassemble and fully assemble with blindfolded eyes-after all, there is no such thing as An army can allow the most basic soldiers to have a high school education or above.

"It is safe and reliable to avoid accidents; its safety is easy to remove so as not to fail to respond quickly; its overall length is short for easy portability, and its barrel is long to ensure ballistic performance and penetration;

"It is light and can reduce the waste of soldiers' physical strength in battle; it is also highly reliable, with low failure probability under the premise of low maintenance or even no maintenance, and it is also resistant to high-intensity use. However, there are also people who are proficient in machinery among you, you know , light weight means less material, lower strength, and lower reliability of mechanical action. This is a contradictory requirement, but the designer must achieve better results in both aspects at the same time!"

Most people seem to be at a loss, just like Xiao Ke who originally wanted to listen to stand-up comedy, but now must secretly eat what he brought.

But the people of insight looked serious.

"These are just the requirements of us users. The arsenal will require it to be easy to manufacture and not exceed the processing capacity of most production lines. During wartime, we can't just rely on a few very good arsenals to guarantee the supply; resource reserves require that it cannot As far as any strategic shortfall is concerned, this should need no explanation; a whole country at war would demand that it be cheap enough—”

Mephisto held up the rifle again: "Designing this kind of universal basic equipment is far more difficult than masters creating peerless magic weapons. And there are countless types of rifles here, with various requirements Stand out from the encirclement and become the winner of the winner. Thus, the entire Terra war has undergone earth-shaking changes."

Mephistopheles put down the rifle and smiled at some disapproving audience members: "Of course, I don't deny this. After all the boasting, automatic rifles are still jelly bean launchers to some people, even the most illiterate poor people. It’s a leap in combat power against the infected, but it’s still a jelly bean launcher—but of course we have our own extraordinary power. Haven’t you seen it in Chernobog?”

Now the whole place was solemn, even dead silent.

"I'm not targeting anyone, I'm talking about everyone, do you understand why the special forces and reconnaissance forces of the National Guard think radio night vision devices are more important than firearms? Why do we think communications, observation, and explosives are more important than multi-purpose equipment and firearms? And the firearms and body armor you are all clamoring about are actually less important parts of individual soldiers’ equipment?

"Will you use a new generation of communication network based on massive and complex software and hardware? Can you use the above system to implement electronic countermeasures to gain the upper hand? Can you use various delivery methods that can be achieved through various special vehicles? Does the long-range artillery provide firing data? Can it guide the bombing and airdrops of the air force? No. And we can! We don't even use these. Get knocked out over and over again."

The atmosphere was not only silent, but even awkward.

Mephisto shrugged, realizing that exposing people's scars is not appropriate: "Of course, this is actually a good thing. Failure in the exercise can avoid failure in actual combat. But the important thing is that relying on these new equipment, we have new Tactical doctrine, tactical thinking and deeper philosophy. You can learn, and we are willing to teach. Rhodes Island can't copy Atlas because you don't have a strong backup. But you can learn from us Something for yourself. Alright, now for our headline."

People turned their eyes to the blackboard and looked at the big words:

The Philosophy of the Rifle.

"Standard rifles represent standardized specifications and mass production, represent the mass and ease of use of arming most ordinary people, represent an organizational method that allows more people to master powerful power, a brand-new technical system and military system— —It will achieve the effectiveness of an extraordinary fighter through advanced technology and close coordination.

"Our entire curriculum at Atlas is linked. This is just a warm-up. I know it's a bible for most of the people present and enlightening for a few. But it doesn't matter. "

Mephistopheles showed a sinister smile: "Let me make a joke first. This class is all about some metaphysical things, but the next class will be different. For those friends who have also taken basic infantry training, let me tell you in advance, In the next class, we will have a great time."

Mostima was squatting in the foxhole he had just dug out, the smile that always hung on his face was a little stunned at the moment.

"In the Civilian Army, soil engineering and camouflage are placed before shooting! Everyone, you can only output if you are alive, but on today's battlefield, the large number of firearms and explosives no longer allow you to shrink behind the heavy operator and finish the job .Take these sapper shovels and do as we were taught! Remember, a forty centimeter pit is better than all armor and shields!"

Mephisto began his second class with only one lesson: how to dig a foxhole.Then, each with a short-handled engineering shovel, they dug holes in the wasteland outside Chernobog.

When the operators were bored and reluctantly repairing the ground, they suddenly found that the instructors were drilling holes to bury explosives at a position less than 50 meters away!

"This kind of soil is relatively easy to build fortifications, but not all places have such good conditions! Frozen soil in cold regions and rocky ground are completely impossible to work with ordinary tools. At this time, flexible handling is required. The most direct and effective , the most time-saving method is drilling and blasting!"

Listening to Mephisto's funny explanation, and looking at the explosion point that almost half surrounded everyone's location, a strange feeling suddenly enveloped everyone, and goose bumps immediately covered the whole body.The speed of digging that was originally procrastinating immediately increased, increased, and increased dramatically!

Mephisto personally inspected and instructed every operator in the pit, telling them not to lean their bodies against the pit wall.Then he checked his protective gear and lay down on the ground in the operator's foxhole, with his hands on the ground and his chest off the ground.

Mostima stuck his head out of the foxhole, looked at Mephisto, who was leading by example, and looked back at Laplande with a calm face.

——Rhode Island is a containment box used to banish tricky guys, and that's how Atlas handled it first.For example, a fallen angel who likes to run around and build a communication channel with Rutland will be selected into MACR-SOG, and then he will be stationed in Rhodes Island.

So did a certain Syracuse gangster lady.However, Comand continued to draw cakes and told her that the next stop in Rhodes Island was Longmen.Then Miss Laplande's tail stood up excitedly.

"Prepare—explode!"

As the Atlas Special Forces pressed the detonator forcefully, there was a sudden muffled sound, and the Rhode Island operators in the foxhole felt the ground beating, and hundreds of tons of sand were thrown tens of meters high altitude.

Dubin looked at the operators who were wobbly crawling out of the foxhole from a distance, and looked at Comand beside him: "Uh, Mr. Comman."

"how?"

"How much... does this mean?"

"Of course it is very meaningful." Comand did not hesitate, "Can you ignore the quality of infantry with a few heavy weapons? Or do you think they will not encounter this level of attack on the battlefield in the future, and they don't need to adapt to this in advance?" The shock of the environment?"

"Hearing you say this kind of thing, it's very...subtle."

"Because we have the best technical weapons in all of Terra?" Comand glanced at Dubin, "That's a big mistake, Miss Instructor. The infantrymen are people who want to kill with their own hands, face death, and face the cruelest side of war.

"The recruits are clumsy, and the veterans are slick. I want to train infantry who are neither panicked nor afraid of death on the battlefield, kill without trembling, and have qualified combat skills. I don't know how many times it is more difficult than building aircraft, artillery and tanks. Even the Civilian Army , and not the whole army is Rhodes Island's elite who can shoot a hail of bullets without shaking their hands, and their weapons and equipment are semi-customized. For most soldiers, being able to consciously shoot in the general direction of the enemy, rather than shooting into the sky to embolden them, It's not considered a coward.

"But you can't. Rhodes Island is not covered by aircraft and cannons, so you can only turn everyone into an elite."

Commander paused: "Besides, do you really know what you will encounter in the future?"

"You mean..."

"It's nothing."

Chapter 5 Continue to work

For the small number of Rhode Island operators with complex conditions and different situations, the members of the Atlas and Rhode Island joint training team spent a lot of energy to formulate and implement training plans.

For the girls of the Ursas Student Government Group, they had nothing to do with Rhodes Island before.If such an operator chooses to apply to become a combat operator, their technical and tactical training will start directly from the new mode——

Shooting, fighting, bombing, demolition, earthwork.

It is impossible for MACR-SOG, which mainly consists of the special forces of the Civilian Army, to train all Rhode Island operators according to their own standards.It was not even possible to train up to the standards of tribunal recruits: they could not have endured such strict military discipline.Therefore, they can only learn basic combat skills first, and slowly polish the rest.

The situation is very complicated. For example, this is not a "household matter" within the militia, so everyone's attitude towards the operators has never been as strict as that of the instructors when they were training. It is only when weapons and equipment are involved that they are unprecedentedly strict -

The whole first week of the shooting class was spent in the classroom and never entered the training ground.The rookies were dizzy after learning it, and it was not until everyone had memorized the discipline related to firearms in the random spot check that they issued real firearms—however, they were far away from live ammunition!But even at this time, the Atlas instructors still managed the light weapons training of the rookies with an unprecedentedly strict attitude, and told a large number of accident cases during the shooting training of recruits.Some people were scared to be honest, and some people were so scared that they didn't want to play with guns anymore, but some people didn't take it seriously, thinking that the instructors were deliberately scaring people.

It doesn't matter, because the monitors of each training class will check it one by one, every time, everyone is like this - the posture of holding the gun is wrong, and the standing posture aims at the target for hours to deepen the memory;

The gun inspection procedure is wrong, repeat it a hundred times to deepen your memory;

Raising guns and aiming at random without orders, the military posture deepens the memory all day long;

Fighting and fighting while carrying a gun, the military posture with a full set of equipment deepens the memory all day long;

The gun is disassembled and combined with more parts, disassembled and assembled a hundred times to deepen the memory;

You can't wipe the guns clean before putting them into storage. You can wipe all the guns in the company to deepen your memory;

If the gun falls, smashes, or falls, find a training model gun and run five kilometers above your head to deepen your memory;

Dare to face people? !Directly deepen the memory of the Big Bidou!Women can't run away either!

Coupled with the repeated screening of a bunch of accident documentaries, those bloody scenes made everyone reluctantly forgive the unprecedented severity of the instructors.

It took a whole week without any live ammunition being fired. Rhode Island was about to successfully complete the work in Chernobog, and set sail for Longmen.The group of new operators that Lin Dong was in had just started shooting with live ammunition for the first time!

With the aid of various memory-enhancing techniques, the instructors carefully trained the recruits in the habit of carrying guns.Involving guns and ammunition, among the Civil Protection Army, it belongs to the category that can go online indefinitely, because once this thing gets out of control, the next step may kill people.If you go to the shooting range with live ammunition and make these mistakes, the instructor will stomp the rookie's head on the ground, because if you move slower, you may have to send a pension to the operator's family—oh, Rhode Island If there is no family member in the party members to catch it, then his funeral can only be turned into a safety training special education.

**

A low roar echoed inside the entire land ship, and it began to vibrate, shake, and finally returned to calm.

Nothing seems to be happening...if you don't consider the slowly moving horizon outside the porthole.

The Ursus high school girls, who held up their plates to prevent spills, put the things back on the table.Lin Dong muttered in a low voice: "Ah, I'm leaving."

"And your new life begins here."

A familiar voice came from the side, and the high school students jumped up in unison: "Instructor!"

"Calm down, everyone." Mephistopheles replied, holding the dinner plate. "Outside of training time, we are all Rhode Island operators. Oh, can I sit here?"

Lin Dong sighed: "If it were any of your comrades, I would ask him to leave. As for you...forget it. Sit down."

Mephisto put down his plate and took the last place at the table for six.

"I would like to praise you. Your talent is very good, and your attitude is very correct. Coupled with the physical fitness of the Ursas, the results are indeed among the best among the newcomers."
