rebuilding in walking dead

Looking at Peggy, who is already a mother, she has this cute girlish expression.

Leon couldn't help but smile knowingly. Under her expectant gaze, he walked to the center of the shooting range and picked up the high-energy laser gun.

This sci-fi-feeling gun has an entirely metal shell. Holding it in your hand, the overall weight should be around ten kilograms. The appearance design is pretty good, and it is quite easy to use whether for aiming or shooting.

Peggy came over with a smile and installed the only micro-nuclear battery in a slot on the gun. Then she took Leon to the shooting position and pointed to a switch on the gun and said:

"My dear, this gun has two modes. One is the cutting mode, which can continuously shoot a laser that can cut the target. The duration is determined by the shooter himself, but it can only last for a minute at most. Then you need to wait for the muzzle to cool down. If you force it to continue using it, it will cause damage to the gun."

"The other is precision shooting, which can fire a laser that lasts for one second, and then cools down for two seconds before the next attack can be made. This shooting method has no cooldown time and no ammunition limit, so you can attack unlimitedly."

Peggy pointed to the heavy steel plates at the target shooting position and said:

"Go try out the power of this gun, dear."

Leon nodded, and without further ado, he held the high-energy laser gun and walked to the shooting position. He adjusted the laser gun to the precision mode, aimed at a thick steel plate and pulled the trigger.

With a "whoosh" sound, a slightly dazzling light shot out from the muzzle of the gun and instantly hit the heavy steel plate about fifty meters away from him.

Leon felt his arm being pushed back gently. The recoil was not strong, only slightly stronger than a pistol, but the force was quite stable, just like holding a water gun.

"I believe that even super mutants would tremble in fear in front of it."

One was treated as a dairy cow and kept in a nuclear power plant. The mutant crabs she produced were constantly hunted to satisfy the appetites of the residents of the Human Union, so she was considered to have some value.

With some excitement, Leon left Professor Jacob's research center.

"This is a groundbreaking weapon. It is powerful and easy to use. It is suitable for dealing with various types of enemies."

Seeing that the exoskeleton armor was more reliable, Leon continued:

In other words, whether it is an airplane, a tank, or even a submarine or other large facility, as long as this high-energy laser gun is used in the cutting mode, it can penetrate their defenses within a dozen seconds and then quickly cut out a huge gap.

When he pressed the trigger, a continuous dazzling laser shot out from the muzzle and instantly hit the first steel plate in front.

"I know the role of new energy in technology. It can replace oil, electricity and coal, completely change our power supply system and enable our productivity to take a leap forward."

Under the dazzling laser cutting, the 30-centimeter-thick steel plate lasted only about 20 seconds before being penetrated by the laser beam, allowing the beam to fall on the second steel plate wall.

But now, no one can say for sure how the future will develop, and whether they will have enough time to slowly develop the technology tree.

After thinking about it, Leon moved the muzzle of the gun to the other side, a composite target composed of five 30-centimeter-thick steel plates in front and back, and turned the switch of the high-energy laser gun to cutting mode.

Thomas lowered his head after hearing this, thought for a few minutes, then looked up at Lyon and said:

"Professor Thomas, do you know the miniature nuclear battery developed by Professor Jacob?"

"Theoretically, there is no problem. The main technical barriers to exoskeleton armor are the power system and materials. However, as long as the power system is strong enough, even if the materials are inferior, it will only make the exoskeleton armor more bloated and will not affect its use."

An ordinary, unmodified car would probably be pierced through within two or three seconds.

"You asked me about this. Did Professor Jacob succeed?"

Leon nodded, took out a box of cigars from his underwear pocket, gave one to each of them, and said while smoking a cigar:

"Yes, Professor Thomas."

"The micro nuclear battery has been successfully manufactured. It is an efficient and convenient super energy source."

"At the very least, with the micro-nuclear battery technology, our planes, our tanks, and our warships will have the possibility of restarting."

"Laser weapons have great potential. Depending on their output power and firing methods, they can be evolved into many different weapons."

However, he did not return to his office, but went directly to the scientific research department of the Human Union Organization and found the head of the scientific research department, Professor Thomas, who was directing some craftsmen in production.

He let out a breath. Although the future was bright, the reality was that they still needed to find more super mutants, obtain more z elements from their bodies, and manufacture a large number of micro nuclear batteries. Otherwise, all this would be just wishful thinking.

"In fact, through the performance of these years, airplanes and tanks are not necessarily more practical than exoskeleton armor. As long as we can enhance the load-bearing capacity of soldiers, they can wear stronger and more powerful armor."

"But why did you come to see me?"

"So what now? With micro-nuclear batteries, can we create exoskeleton armor that can increase soldiers' load-bearing capacity and strength?"

The recoil this time is a little stronger, but the force is still quite stable. Even someone who uses this firearm for the first time should be able to master its use quickly.

After returning to his office, Leon's originally irritable mood was relieved a lot.

Professor Thomas has been in the Human Rights Union for nearly ten years and is already in his forties. Wearing denim overalls, with dark skin and a sturdy build, he looks more like a workshop worker than a scholar. He nodded and said in a buzzing voice:

"Mr. President, I only know a little bit."

After thinking about it, he asked Thomas another question:

"Professor, have you ever heard of exoskeleton armor?"

"Their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and they will be able to survive better when facing monsters."

Indeed, the development of any technology takes time, and production and manufacturing also takes time. It is not like in the game, where you can automatically produce something by just clicking a button.

Then he said earnestly:

"When the instructor is able to complete more micro-nuclear batteries of different specifications, we will be able to mass-produce various laser weapons."

With the micro-nuclear battery technology as his trump card, he was not as anxious as he was at the beginning when facing those terrifying sound trackers.

"For example, laser pistols, laser Gatling guns, laser sniper rifles, or laser cannons, etc."

Although the concubine only gave a few brief introduction, Leon could already imagine the scene in the future where the warriors of the Human Alliance would hold laser weapons, with countless large laser cannons behind them, and countless dazzling rays of light shot out from their muzzles, sweeping away all monsters.

There are three more super mutants in existence that he knows of.

This time he found that the laser was shot out very quickly and basically hit the target as soon as it was fired.

"Moreover, if you want to modify existing aircraft and tanks to adapt them to the new power system, the difficulty of modification is even no less than designing and manufacturing a new device from scratch."

"Our top priority is not to focus scientific research efforts on extremely long-term things such as improving people's lives or reviving civilization."

However, in order to cooperate with Professor Jacob's production and use, the hunting of super mutants must be arranged as soon as possible.

If the target is their engine or fuel tank, it won't even take that long under the high temperature before it detonates and destroys them.

"You are right, Mr. President, survival is our first priority."

"Only by surviving can we create the future."

"As for producing new aircraft and tanks, I'm sorry, with our modern industrial strength, it's not impossible, but you shouldn't have any expectations in terms of production capacity."

Leon put down the gun in his hand, turned his head to look at Peggy, who still had a proud expression on her face, walked over and kissed her on the face, and said lovingly:

"You did an amazing job, Paige. I'm so proud of you."

Peggy smiled until her eyes narrowed when she received her husband's praise. She snorted softly and said:

After more than ten seconds, after the second layer of steel plate was pierced, Leon released the trigger. He observed the laser gun in his hand and found that the muzzle was also affected by the high temperature and was slightly bright red.

"Your Excellency the President."

"Perhaps, compared to bulky tanks, exoskeleton armor, which can adapt to a variety of terrains and match a variety of enemies, is more suitable for this world."

Moreover, because of the long-term cutting by the extremely high temperature laser beam, an area of ​​about half a square meter on the steel plate was burned red, and there were even faint signs of melting. The hole also expanded due to the dissolution of metal, and was almost the size of a basketball.

This is very strong steel. It seems that the power of the laser gun is indeed outstanding.

However, the firing rate of the precision mode is still a bit low. When facing densely packed enemies, the two-second cooling time will become very dangerous.

"I will put more energy into weapons development and research."

"The most important thing now is to improve the combat capability of our People's Alliance so that we can have the power to protect ourselves in the face of possible disasters in the future."

Thinking about it this way, these two guys are actually pretty good, and can't even be called monsters. It would be a bit of a waste to kill them both rashly.

Once Peggy starts talking about her professional knowledge, she will shed her feminine attitude and appear very focused.

Not being fussy about details, not being bound by old dogmas or experience, and being willing to make more attempts for the future, this is what an expert and scholar should do.

The place hit by the laser also left a very obvious dent, about the size of a fist and a very regular circle.

Professor Thomas frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"Because this weapon does not require ammunition supply and has a long endurance, it can greatly reduce the burden of logistics and improve the combat effectiveness of our troops."

At this point, Professor Thomas looked at President Lyon with a serious expression and said seriously:

"But I'm not trying to discourage you. Replacing the current power system with one that matches the micro-nuclear battery is not a simple project. It requires constant design and experimentation, and it will take a lot of time."

"However, since you like it so much, I will continue to study it in depth, modify it, improve it, and create more different specifications and versions."

"However, if you want to conduct experiments in this area, we will arrange personnel to conduct research and development in this area."

Moreover, even steel is so fragile in front of him. One can imagine what kind of scene it would be if it aimed at a flesh and blood body.

Professor Thomas took a long drag on his cigar and said:

"As you said, once the energy problem is solved, exoskeleton armor should not be difficult to realize. I will personally lead this project and give you an answer as soon as possible."

Lyon listened carefully to Thomas' blunt remarks, feeling somewhat disappointed.

The remaining giant sea turtles and mutant scorpion queens were all in Florida, often appearing in the area where they collected radioactive seaweed. They were relatively docile and had never had any bloody conflicts with the workers collecting seaweed.

Thomas nodded silently, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"That's why I came to see you."

"Mr. President, I cannot judge whether the exoskeleton armor you mentioned is more suitable for current combat than traditional weapons."

But Peggy obviously took this into consideration. The material around the muzzle has very good heat insulation properties and does not conduct the temperature to other places.

The armed giant Tom must not be killed. He is an important fighting force of the Human League. He has developed a deep relationship with little Clementine over the years. Most importantly, he is very obedient and easy to feed.

Lyon nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the professor's performance. Professor Thomas, like him, was a pragmatist and did not have the stubborn ideas of old pedants and scholars.

Leon thought about it and told Thomas without hiding the battle between Jesus, Michonne and others and the Sound Trackers, and gave him a brief account of the horror of these monsters.

"I heard that the reason why exoskeleton armor was not popular in the past was mainly because the power system was too inefficient, the energy was insufficient, and the endurance was too poor. It could not even last a battle, so it was abandoned by the military."

"Professor Jacob once discussed with me the external structure and manufacturing materials of the micro-nuclear battery."

After shooting out a laser, he waited for two seconds, moved to a slightly higher position, and shot out another laser.

Although it only lasted about a second, with his eyesight, he could still see that the thick steel plate was burned with a bright red color, obviously the high temperature had been transmitted.

Professor Thomas thought for a few seconds, nodded and said:

"I believe that as we continue to improve, laser weapons will replace physical ammunition weapons to a certain extent."

"My dear, it's not as good as you say. This is just the initial version I shot. The most important thing is to show its possibilities, but this gun itself still has many flaws."

Seeing the power of the high-energy laser gun, Lyon took a deep breath. You know, this is a 30-centimeter-thick steel plate. In terms of defense, it almost exceeds the defense of most modern vehicles.

Without much greeting, Lyon went straight to the engineering master in charge of the weapons manufacturing and design of the Human Union Organization and said:

After saying this, Thomas suddenly realized something and asked excitedly:

Lyon thought about it for a long time and decided to keep them as backup plans and deal with them when he had no other choice.

By the way, a special force will be formed and dispersed throughout America and even around the world to collect any information that may be super mutants, and then find ways to hunt them down.

And this will be a normalized force, providing a steady supply of z elements for human organizations.
