The mission of destroying ten BETA nests indeed made Zeng Jia and the others feel a certain amount of pressure. If it were the Mechs that the Burning Legion had prepared for them in Prometheus, they wouldn't feel any pressure even if one person had to destroy ten nests, let alone ten. The source of the pressure was not themselves, but the half-year time limit and the Mech's level.
Compared to the missions of the New Federation, the missions of Amro, Ingram, and Schuman of the American team were not too difficult. As for Inge, she 'volunteered' to stay behind when the United States recalled the members of the United Nations Army, so her mission became the same as Zeng Jia and the others.
The missions that Amro, Ingram, and Schuman received were exactly the same, and the time limit was also half a year. They were to lead the X-Force to break through a nest and ensure that the loss rate of the X-Force was less than 30%.
This mission made Amro and Ingram have to spend more effort on the X-Force, enhance the strength of the X-Force, and choose the right nest to take down in order to better complete the mission.
Only half a month after the release of the third main mission, when the whole world was still in a state of division and chaos, Uzzes, Kiliam, Xiaya, Zeng Jia, Elssum, Matsunaga, Jonny, Inge, and the others went to the Far East together. With the cooperation of the Far East Front Army under the New Federation, it took them two days to take down the nest in the Far East.
After breaking through the frontline formed by countless BETA's, they went deeper into the nest. After burying a few reaction bombs, they directly blew up the nest. But in this battle, Aeschi, Harvey, Baines, and Lala did not follow Zeng Jia and the others to go deeper into the nest. Instead, they took the initiative to retreat after attacking a certain distance.
When Xiaya, Zeng Jia, Uzzes, and the others returned after completing the mission, they could clearly see that the Mechs they were piloting were dyed red and all kinds of damage under the red cover. Every Mech was damaged in one way or another, and all of them were damaged by physical attacks. Although they were fine, after this probing attack, they did feel more pressure.
Although they were A-grade pilots, there were many factors affecting them in various aspects. There were too many BETA's, and the environment in the nest was too complicated. More importantly, the performance of the Mech was still a little worse, and the power and firing rate of the weapons were still not enough.
It was already very difficult to take down a Far Eastern nest. It must be known that the Far Eastern nest had not been built for a long time. Compared to the Eurasian nests that had been built for more than ten years, it was like a newborn baby. Even the number of BETA's was not as high as the Eurasian nests.
This nest had already made everyone feel a considerable amount of pressure. If it were a Eurasian nest, it would not be so easy to take it down, and whether there would be more damage. This made Uzzes, Zeng Jia, Bai Hechou, and the others a lot more cautious.
After a day of rest, they sat together tiredly and began to discuss their next move. Uzzes, in particular, had consumed a lot of energy when attacking the nest. He used psychokinesis to make a lot of contributions. He was simply leaning softly on the sofa, and there was no trace of his previous arrogance.
Xiaya was the first to speak, "After this battle in the nest, many problems have been verified."
"With these Mechs built now, it is completely enough to face the BETA in a conventional battle. If there are more of them, then humans will gradually gain an advantage in the battle with the BETA."
"However, if it were a small-scale operation like ours, with the target being the nest, the performance of these airframes would be far from enough. They wouldn't be able to maintain stability in a prolonged battle, and many problems would be exposed due to the materials used. They wouldn't be able to support a prolonged battle with our current technology, and it's the same for weapons."
"In the end, the only weapon everyone uses is the beam saber. Beam weapons are too slow to charge, easy to overheat, insufficient firing rate, and insufficient power. These problems must be changed."
"More importantly, we must build a higher level, better performance, and sturdier Mech."
"Hmm." Bai Hechou also nodded. He sipped his tea and said, "It is very difficult to complete the task of destroying the remaining nine nests with the current performance of the Mechs. The situation in Eurasia is bound to be more dangerous than in the Far East."
"It's urgent to develop a new type of mech specifically for us. However, if the current mech can be mass-produced and completely replaced, then we can also get more help. It's just that the replacement and the training of new pilots will take time."
"But no matter which method it is, we should do it at the same time. Now, half a month has passed, and there is not much time left."
After Bai Hechou finished speaking, Kiliam said, "Both methods should be carried out at the same time. Now, we are no longer separated like before because we need to do things separately. Now, other than Ingram's side, we have gathered together. We have enough people to complete the manufacturing of the new Mech, train the personnel, and at the same time keep track of the Federation's movements."
Uzzes shook his tired head and said, "I also need to remind everyone that in the short term, at least half a year, with the technological and industrial foundation of this world, there is no way to create the A-class Mech we need. Ingram's side has been developing in peace, and until now, they have only produced a few B-class Mechs. I estimate that even if we work together, the highest we can produce is B-class Mech."
"B-class Mech is enough." Ceng Jia said calmly, "But this time, my Mech's weapons must be completely configured according to my habits and methods. The Mechs can't be considered as universal as before. We must build Mechs that are suitable for us to be more useful."
Uzzes, Bai Hechou, and Kiliam all nodded in agreement. Although the changes in their expressions could not be seen, there was a flash of seriousness in their eyes. This was because the pressure was too great. With the industrial standards of this world, there were too many things they needed to do.
