240. New equipment, new legend

Vulture hoverbike is not difficult for the current Fourth Civilization, because the world of "Star Wars" is more mature in terms of anti-gravity engines. The main Engine Department points of this motorcycle are actually similar to the racing cars used by Tatooine's Bonta Night Speeder Race, and can also be solved.

This 4-meter-long suspended motorcycle can reach a maximum speed of 230 kilometers per hour, and can be suspended up to 20 meters above the ground according to specific terrain conditions.

The weapon is an AGP-2 storm fragmentation grenade launcher, which can also be equipped with a laser gun. It's just that Spider Mine, which Tang Xiao was looking forward to, is not available. According to Chi Jianjun, Spider Mine is another smart mine technology. The combat records in the Vulture hoverbike database show that the driver likes to carry three spider mines mainly because they can be stuffed into the cargo box behind the suspended motorcycle.

The Giant Battle Mech is a 4.8-meter-tall bipedal walking combat mecha. This combat mecha has powerful firepower and is equipped with two 30mm-caliber rapid-fire smoothbore howitzers and two sets of Hellfire long-range anti-aircraft scatter missile launchers. The maximum walking speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour, and it has good off-road performance and urban environment combat performance.

At present, the order for Vulture hoverbike has been issued to the factory. Giant Battle Mech requires a special production line, and construction has begun. In the initial stage, 20 Vulture hoverbike and 2 Giant Battle Mech have been issued to the Fourth Civilization Army for equipment. When receiving these equipment, Xiao Guanghua smiled from ear to ear. That night was spent in the cockpit of Goliath Mech.

In order to further improve production efficiency, Tang Xiao decided to adopt a more commercial model. He established a company called 'Tyran Heavy Industries', gave them the orders for Vulture hoverbike and Giant Battle Mech, and let them recruit talents to build the factory.

In this way, Tyran Heavy Industries can break away from the unified planning of Fourth Civilization and become more flexible in its actions. While completing official orders, you can also do some other things.

At the same time, the Fourth Civilization Science Department also allocated relevant data including Hellfire vehicle, Warwolf walker and Siege Tank to them. Tyran Heavy Industries will form its own team to conduct research.

This approach is the first step for Fourth Civilization to unbundle scientific research and production. In the subsequent model, the scientific research team led by Professor Chi Jianjun will only be responsible for the research and development of relevant scientific projects, and will no longer specifically conduct the research and development of a specific product.

For example, if the scientific research team of Professor Chi Jianjun develops an antimatter engine, then the companies under Fourth Civilization can sign a contract with the government and obtain the scientific research data of the antimatter engine, which can then be used to develop their own equipment.

What surprised Tang Xiao was that after Tyran Heavy Industries was established, one Legendary figure met the awakening conditions again - Chief Engineer Rory-Swann (Rory swann), the genius the Mechanic and engineer in "StarCraft 2".

He was born Noble House, a technology miner, and later ran his own mining company, and later joined the protagonist Jim Raynor's Raynor's Raiders. He is a mechanical genius and has modified a large number of excellent equipment for Raynor's Raiders, most of which are even much better than the official designs!

As always, every awakened Legendary figure and Tang Xiao will be received in person. Including the buy-one-get-two-free Legendary Class biologist family that he had awakened before because of the Indjori matter, he also rushed back to meet them after slaughtering a Black Sun spice factory.

There was a knock on the door, and a short, fat man walked in. He is only about 1.6 meters tall, but the fat that develops laterally and is mixed with muscles makes his weight reach 300 pounds. He lost his left hand and now has a robotic arm starting at the elbow, with a large pliers in front, which he reportedly chose to facilitate machining.

"You are the manager, right? I am Rory-Swann! Well, to be honest, you give me a very bad feeling." Swann staggered in wearing a worn leather jacket and goggles, smelling of alcohol.

Smells of alcohol?

"Didn't you just wake up from hibernation? Where did you drink wine? Didn't you bring the wine bottle into the hibernation warehouse?" Tang Xiao looked a little strange.

"Ha! I did bring a bottle of wine in the hibernation chamber, but it was all frozen into ice." Swann moved the pliers on his left hand, "So I told the nurse to give me two dozen beers, otherwise I will get dizzy! Hahahaha..."

Tang Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, as you can see. Now we are building a new Homeworld, and all aspects are on the right track. But I tell you directly, we will face a full-scale war in 10 years. All developments now are to prepare for war. Do you have any ideas?"

"War? You just ran into this universe, and the ground is not warm. Who are you going to fight with?" Swann snorted, "Also, you give me a really bad feeling. You... killed a lot of people, right?"

"If I don't fight this war, Fourth Civilization won't be able to gain a foothold in this universe, or to put it more bluntly, I can't stand, I can only kneel. But fortunately, both sides of the war actually have nothing to do with us. All we have to do is choose sides." Tang Xiao said seriously, "As for killing, yes, I have killed many people. And for the continuation of this civilization, I don't mind continuing to kill."

"Ha! Don't fool me with your big ideas! Well, no matter what, you are the manager, you are the boss! But... I will keep an eye on you!" Swann said carelessly.

"I do recommend that you walk around more and then draw your own conclusions. You should have also seen some of the current development of the planet. How about Tyran Heavy Industries? If you are willing, this company will be handed over to you. In other words, you can also work at United Mining Group. It all depends on your interest." Tang Xiao said lightly.

"Okay! I'm not interested in management or settling accounts! Tyran Heavy Industries? Well, at least I'm familiar with Vulture hoverbike and Goliath Mech. Let's go there first!" Swann replied.

Tang Xiao smiled and said, "Then, from today on, you are Chief Engineer of Tyran Heavy Industries. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. Someone will come to arrange accommodation for you later. If you are willing, a guide will come to take you to visit our planet and this Glory mothership."
