1157 Battle Preparation
It was now April 2047. It had been a whole year since Tang Yu came to this era. In the thousands of kilometers of land that Tang Yu occupied, there were several cities that were being built. The five cities that Tang Yu had rebuilt with the help of the five labor camps had begun to take shape. With the help of hundreds of thousands of Hyperion Loaders, countless buildings were rising like mushrooms after the rain.
The Hyperion Loader was a multi-purpose civilian robot. As long as the machine gun on its arm was disassembled and replaced with other tools, it would be able to take on most tasks. Therefore, Tang Yu planned to use this robot to gradually replace the G-1 engineering robot. It would become the second-generation engineering robot commonly used by the Guardian Group. The name of the robot would also be changed to G-2 engineering robot.
As for the other forces, Eriksson was planning to rebuild two cities that had been destroyed by Skynet in the areas that Tang Yu had reclaimed. This was to relieve the pressure of living space that he was currently facing. John Connor 2 was also rebuilding a city. However, it was mainly moving the old, weak, sick, and disabled over to receive the protection of the Guardian Group.
As the Salvation Army was located in a remote area, apart from Madam Megan, the other forces did not participate in the reconstruction. Madam Megan was very interesting. She made it very clear that she did not want to continue fighting with Skynet. Although the two cities were very far away, she still moved more than 500,000 people over and rebuilt two cities. Not only that, she also bought more than 30000 G-1 engineering robots that Tang Yu had eliminated to help her rebuild the line of defense in her territory.
Although Tang Yu did not personally visit Madam Megan's line of defense, he did gather some information. It was indeed a very terrifying line of defense. It was made of reinforced concrete that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. There were countless cannons and anti-aircraft missiles. There were also trenches and minefields that were more than 10 kilometers deep in front of the line of defense. According to Tang Yu's conservative estimate, if he were to attack this line of defense without using the BNK-3R, he would probably have to invest at least 500,000 Hyperion Loaders!
But in terms of other aspects of trade, it was very smooth. With the help of tens of thousands of robots, the construction of the railway was completed in just two months. Now, the railway connected Madam Megan's territory in the west, New Chengdu in the east, and Labour City No. 1 in the north. It was being transported around the clock. Large amounts of food and weapons were sent over in exchange for countless ores, Terminator wreckage, and even scrap metal. Then they are turned into various kinds of robots in a 3D printing factory.
Due to the existence of the 3D printing factory, Tang Yu now had the largest number of Herberlon robots under his control. Among them, the largest number was the Herberlon loader, which was named the G-2 engineering robot by Tang Yu. After a period of production, the number of such robots had now exceeded one million!
In order to make full use of these robots, in addition to using these G-2 engineering robots for construction, Tang Yu also built a lot of manual factories. Compared to an automated production line, a manual factory had more processes and less output, but the biggest advantage was that it was very easy to build. Moreover, with the G-2 engineering robots working in these factories, the rate of defective products in these manual factories was very low due to the mechanical and precise movements of the robots.
With production guaranteed, raw materials were continuously sent over. Now, Tang Yu's territory was unprecedentedly prosperous. The grain-based economic system in Hope No. 3 was also implemented. Food stamps printed with the Guardian Group's logo became the common currency. Just as Tang Yu expected, other than John Connor No. 2 who openly used these food stamps, other Rebel forces and Salvation Army forces began to secretly circulate these food stamps. Some black markets even bought these food stamps at a high price.
The construction of the cities was also in place. There were the heavy industrial cities of Southampton and Steel City, the scientific research and agricultural cities of New Atlanta and New Dalian, the light industrial cities of New Lanzhou and New Lhasa, and the core city of Tang Yu's rule, New Chengdu. The functions of these cities were improving day by day. The standard of living of the residents had even begun to move closer to what it was before the Trial Day. The biggest surprise was that the entertainment and service industries had begun to rise. This was also a sign of the diversification of people's lives.
Based on the perfect construction of the cities, Tang Yu strengthened the re-education system and the universal compulsory military service system. Although the humans of this era were drawn in from another time and space and could not grow or age, through re-education, the potential of these people could be further explored.
There was no welfare system in Tang Yu's sphere of influence. If one wanted to survive, they had to work. Otherwise, they had to serve in the military. In addition, Tang Yu treated the soldiers very well. Although it was compulsory military service, there were many people who were willing to join the army. Therefore, the human soldiers under Tang Yu's command were divided into two types. One was voluntary, and the other was forced to be soldiers. However, Tang Yu did not care about the uneven quality of these people. Under the work of Carra Ladames, a large number of enhancers were produced and used to strengthen the soldiers.
At the same time, Tang Yu also expanded the production of the second-generation mechanical exoskeletons to further enhance the combat effectiveness of human soldiers. By the way, the mechanized exoskeletons equipped by the Zealots could already be called basic mechanized armor. It was the fifth-generation product, and in this era, Tang Yu did not have the ability to mass-produce it.
Considering that the number of battles with the Grey Coat Army was not small, Tang Yu began to produce the Fireblade Rifle that fired corrosive bullets and the Fireblade Rifle that fired incendiary bullets. The Fireblade Rifle was also a direct imitation of an incendiary rifle with average performance selected from the Hyperion Corporation's database.
The incendiary bullets in "Unclaimed Land" used a concentrated solid chemical substance. Compared with the white phosphorus and thermite commonly used in modern times, the incendiary in "Unclaimed Land" was cleaner and safer. Unless it was triggered by a gun, it did not matter if it was smashed with a hammer or put in a pocket. Therefore, it had a very ideal range as a bullet.
However, after this incendiary bullet hit the target, the concentrated incendiary would instantly explode, forming an extremely powerful flame! After the solid incendiary agent burned, it would first turn into a liquid and expand greatly. As the people hit by the bullet ran around in pain, the viscous liquid incendiary agent would spread the flame everywhere!
One could imagine the reaction of the Grey Coat Army when faced with this terrible incendiary bullet. Even if they were not directly hit by the bullet, the splattering incendiary agent would still engulf the surrounding humans in a sea of fire and burn them alive. What's more, the combustion of this bullet would not produce harmful substances, which made it very convenient for Tang Yu to take over the captured positions.
However, considering that the main opponent was Skynet's Terminator, Tang Yu did not produce too many Fireblade Rifles. He only used this weapon as a platoon support weapon. In other words, each infantry platoon was equipped with only one Fireblade Rifle.
