Chapter 374 Special Forces
Chen Xin’s ability to upgrade does have extraordinary significance for a country, but this is not indispensable.
The country can develop without Chen Xin, and having Chen Xin is just accelerating the development process.
If you want to make an example, it’s like you play with stars and pick up a scientific research hub at the beginning, which can provide you with a large amount of scientific research points per round, allowing you to turn the technology that was originally produced in more than a dozen rounds into several rounds or even one round.
This can indeed allow you to gain an advantage and lead quickly, but this will not bring much improvement in the short term, because it takes time to transform technology into strength.
Whether it is colonizing other planets or building fleets, it requires a lot of resources, energy and the most indispensable time.
And these do not mean that simply improving technology can make a qualitative leap.
What's more, Chen Xin can play a role that is not as good as a scientific research hub that can affect the overall situation. The range of his ability can radiate is based on the things he can touch.
Simply put, if you don’t send what you are studying to him, he will not be able to play any role in the research.
But Chen Xin's importance to the current Yan State is beyond doubt. This can be seen from the entire special forces that had just been replaced on the train from Sanzhen to Linshi this time.
This is a complete special forces, with a number of approximately equivalent to a reinforced company. The total number of more than 150 people has been replaced with the latest military exoskeleton, equipped with individual heavy firepower that has never been available before, and various newly issued snow vehicles.
Whether it is firepower, mobility, or individual combat capabilities, these are elite troops that are enough to make the enemy scared.
If it were in the past, such an elite special forces would have been used reasonably and played a role in a regiment or even a brigade on the battlefield.
But now they have just changed into new equipment and have not had time to adapt to the use of new equipment, they have been dispatched to Lin City, and their main task is to protect Chen Xin.
With Chen Xin's importance to the country, it is no problem to enjoy the protection of a special force, and the role he can play can fully afford such treatment.
But Chen Xin has always been very resistant to such things in the past. On the one hand, he feels that it is uncomfortable for someone to protect himself, just like the Buddha does not want five hundred arhats to follow him wherever he goes. Chen Xin does not want a bunch of people to follow him when he goes out, so he is very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, he felt that he should not waste national resources so much. He was just an ordinary person with no talent. He just gained abilities that ordinary people did not have through the system. He did not feel that he was so important that someone needed to protect him specifically.
So at the beginning, after the country reached a cooperation intention with him, it proposed to send people to protect Chen Xin, but was rejected by Chen Xin.
The official in charge of negotiations with Chen Xin at that time did not do so on the premise of respecting Chen Xin's personal wishes, and considering that Chen Xin has always lived in his own shelter and there would not be too much safety threats, he did not do so.
However, this time, after Chen Xin completed the construction and design of the isotope temperature difference battery production line and exoskeleton protective clothing, which are of great significance to the country, his existence has reached the highest level of Yanguo and his importance has been greatly improved.
In order to protect talents, the country transferred a special force with new equipment to protect Chen Xin.
Of course, the military played a considerable role in this. After all, it is usually more than enough to protect a person and a dozen people in a combat team. Before the disaster, the Federal Commander had just a force on standby for him at any time.
Of course, the military has no bad intentions to do this. What bad intentions can Brother Soldier have? It's just that he wants to have more big bangs.
In fact, anyone will have some ideas after understanding Chen Xin's abilities, and the new products he brought out have aggravated such end-minded associations.
If you have an exoskeleton, isn’t it nice to upgrade to power armor?
Isn't it nice to replace the tank with full electric propulsion?
Although humanoid robots like Gundam are not very practical, aren’t humanoid tanks good for single-soldier combat mechas?
Going further, isn’t it good to build a land cruiser like Rhodes?
If it were in the past, the military would certainly not have such thoughts. No matter how delicious these things are, the senior military leaders would know that this is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.
There is still some hope for power armor or all-electric tanks to realize, but there is also a lack of short-term practicality. As for other things, they can only be regarded as science fiction material.
But Chen Xin's appearance made all this possible.
The military, of course, took a little bit of a bad idea, of course it was not a bad idea.
They just sent this special forces with the latest equipment to protect Chen Xin, and at the same time informed the commanders and soldiers of this force, so that they could display these new equipment in front of Chen Xin if they had anything to do, and then tempted Chen Xin to help them improve.
As long as one or two pieces of equipment can be improved and mass production and promotion can be achieved, this is a very cost-effective transaction for the military.
After all, the possibility of a war breaking out under such circumstances is too low. Such an elite special forces are idle. It is better to transfer to carry out protection tasks and obtain new toys by the way. This is really worthwhile.
So this elite special forces were sent over, but their target of protection Chen Xin didn't know about this.
The special forces were specially approved by the military. In addition to transporting the soldiers themselves and their personal equipment, they also had their vehicles, ammunition, supplies, mobile barracks that could accommodate all of them, high-power communication facilities that could be connected with superior commands, and other new equipment that might be used.
There are quite a lot of supporting equipment among them that are equipped with troops for the first time. On the one hand, the military wants to test the effects of these new equipment and equipment troops, and on the other hand, it also hopes that Chen Xin can see these new equipment. Perhaps which new thing is interesting to Chen Xin, will be improved easily?
So these new equipment that were supposed to be placed in the warehouse and were issued incorrectly when needed were all packed and packed with more than a dozen carriages.
Now, this special military train has entered Lincheng under the guidance of the nuclear-powered locomotive.
However, what appeared before these special forces soldiers at first glance was a train station that was constantly steaming, as if it was boiled.
