Chapter 638, Virus Bomb
[Warmaster Titan] and [Ground Destroyer] are undoubtedly very powerful technologies.
If they are produced later, the former will greatly increase the strength of the Alliance Army. After all, the Emperor Titans above the Warmaster level are not seen under normal circumstances. Only the most powerful Titan Legions in some of the top Mechanicus sects can see this kind of war weapon that can be regarded as the most powerful weapon that humans can use in ground warfare.
Unless it is a battle that may determine the life and death of the empire, the extremely rare Emperor Titans will not be put into the war.
In a conventional war, even if it is an apocalypse-level war, the appearance of one or several Warmaster Titans is the limit.
If the [Warmaster Titan] is still of great significance to the Alliance, then the [Ground Destroyer] is a bit...
What it can do, the Burning Sky Torpedo can barely do. Both are extinction weapons, and their uses are not quite the same.
The Burning Sky Torpedo is nothing more than igniting the atmosphere. It is not as shocking as the [Ground Destroyer] that directly shatters a planet from the center to the crust, but the effect is almost the same. Anyway, once it is fired and hits, it will be the effect of the Extinction Order.
Moreover, after the Burning Sky Torpedo is burned, if the planet is really wanted, it can wait for the planet to cool down and use the planetary climate transformation system to restore the planet. Although this is costly and extremely expensive, if the planet is really valuable and has a particularly strong strategic position, then this is at least a feasible thing to do.
But if it is shattered by the Ground Destroyer, it will be really hopeless. Some of the fragments of the planet will fall into the star, and some will form an asteroid belt. In short, don't expect them to gather together again to form a planet.
If you have to say that it has a particularly practical effect, it is that some alien races will hide very deep underground, and they may not even need oxygen to survive. Burning the surface for more than ten days will not be able to eradicate them. At this time, the Earth-blasting Star Destroyer can be used.
In addition, if a planet is hopelessly corrupted by Chaos and most of the planet is dragged into the Warp, then in order to prevent the planet from becoming an anchor point between the Warp and the real universe, the Chaos army will continue to pour out and use the Earth-blasting Star Destroyer to fight.
In short, it is very useful in specific scenarios. However, the Extinction Order weapon is rarely used and has a narrow range of uses, not to mention that the Earth-blasting Star Destroyer is even narrower, and it is ridiculously expensive.
These characteristics determine that it is enough to use a black box to make a finished product and keep it for backup. It is not like a Warmaster Titan, which does not bring much help to the Alliance's war capabilities, and it is basically useless in conventional warfare.
In fact, the technology of the Warmaster Titan has little impact on the current war situation, but only increases the war potential. After all, whether it is deploying a production line or directly producing finished products with a black box, it takes a long time. It is estimated that after a year, it would be good to be able to produce one or two finished products and just deploy the production line in the hometown.
In addition to these two apocalypse-level technologies, Gu Hang's 30 consecutive draws also have 4 epic-level technologies and 24 technologies below the elite level.
Some upgrades and duplicate functions of the technologies obtained in the past will be put aside for now. The three technologies that are more worth mentioning are [Virus Bomb], [Epic Material Research], and [Avenger Knight Mecha].
[Virus Bomb] is a technology that Gu Hang urgently needs. This kind of thing is relatively expensive and has more stringent requirements for deployment, but the effect of a single deployment is quite reliable. Its main principle is that according to a certain species, after being caught by the alliance, the genetic samples of this type of monster can be analyzed, and then a bomb with special attack capabilities against this type of monster can be made.
This bomb can be used with M-type and L-type missiles, or launched with macro cannons. Its characteristic is that the attack range is ten or a hundred times larger than that of conventional macro cannon shells or missiles of the same level. With the explosion, the released genetic virus can often cover a radius of tens of kilometers, and in most cases, it will only cause fatal damage to this type of creature, and is harmless to other creatures, or the harm is average.
Virus bombs are not useful for human civil wars, or fighting traitors, or fighting chaos demons. In human civil wars, or fighting traitors, then our own people will also be attacked by virus bombs. Its overly wide attack range and certain transmissibility will also cause great ecological disasters.
And if it is to be used in scenes where our own army is not, for long-range bombing, then its price is a bit too high. It is better to use ordinary firepower directly to bomb, which is cheap and easy to use, and it can also save people from using some biological defense means, such as protective clothing, masks, and quickly developed vaccines.
As for demons, these chaotic monsters from the abyss, their genes are disordered and cannot be targeted. Even the genes they express are different, so they are useless.
But it is quite useful to fight non-human aliens.
Especially the Void Zerg and the Green Orcs.
Of course, it is not a panacea. After the green orcs suffered a loss, they may also produce biochemical protective equipment; the Void Zerg can quickly iterate their biological genes after suffering a big loss, and the next batch of bugs, or even this batch of bugs, can undergo genetic transmutation, greatly reducing the damage of virus bombs, and even completely immune over time.
However, biochemical protective equipment may not be able to completely protect, there is a probability; even if the Zerg evolves faster, it takes time to update and iterate, and the virus bomb can still cause a fairly reliable strike effect.
Moreover, if the Zerg iterates its genes, can humans no longer capture and then create new virus bombs?
Of course.
With this thing, the biggest use is that the ground troops carry one when attacking; or the artillery or the orbital gun of the starship can fire one to cooperate with the actions of the ground troops.
This technology is very urgent for Gu Hang. He thought about it and even planned to directly manifest it at his hand instead of getting it to the old nest through the black box factory in the subspace.
Otherwise, it would be too much effort to manufacture the bomb from the Eagle Horse Star Region and then transport it here.
It is better to directly materialize it at hand and then send it to Aramita to directly manufacture the finished product and deploy the production line.
At the same time, the existence of this black box will also greatly increase Aramita's loyalty - which oil man can resist the temptation of the black box?
