Chapter 886 Energy Issues and Enemies Targeting Silver Shark

In fact, the energy problem had already appeared during the Science Special Search Team period, but because the enemies faced by the Science Special Search Team at that time were not as powerful as they are today, the shortcomings of the Mars No. 133 ray gun were not highlighted.

But as the enemy's strength gradually increased, the disadvantage of having to recharge for a long time after each use became apparent.

Especially after the international scientific organization lifted the ban on Ichi Mitsuhiro's high-tech inventions to the Far East Headquarters of the Earth Defense Force, the energy shortage became increasingly prominent.

Not to mention the barrier maker that takes up to a month to charge.

Add to that the Mars 133 ray gun, QX gun, energy converters and other equipment, the amount of electricity consumed by the TAC team alone every month is an astronomical figure.

However, the scientists in the research department still did not focus their research on energy technology, and they were still working hard to develop high-powered weapons that could be used below the atmosphere.

"So, when the TAC team was established, I had already assigned your scientific research department a task to research energy technology, but why didn't you pay attention to it? Now, even if the Silver Shark passes the final test, it will take more than half a year to recharge after firing a shot. I don't know how much its practical value has been discounted."

Seeing Kaji Yoichi's gradually frowning brows, Gu Chen knew that the question he asked hit the point, so he spoke earnestly.

"I understand, advisor. My next research focus will be on energy technology."

Since Gu Chen, the highest-ranking officer of the Far East Headquarters, has said so, what else can Kaji Yoichi, the second-in-command of the scientific research department, say?

Although Gu Chen had given such instructions before, scientists all have their own persistence. When given a choice, they would of course choose the research tasks that interest them.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that they have no choice.

Having said that, Gu Chen didn't say anything more to Kaji Yoichi, but focused his attention on Silver Shark's simulation test.

After a whole day of simulation testing, Silver Shark's various numerical indicators were perfect and fully met the standards for actual combat testing.

So Gu Chen waved his hand and decided to transport the Silver Shark to the TAC team base the next day, install it on the Eagle, and find an opportunity to conduct a practical test.

But that night, Ichiro Yamanaka and Noriko Mikawa, who were on patrol, were attacked by unknown enemies.

After a fierce firefight, the enemy was temporarily repelled by other TAC team members who came to reinforce.

Hokuto Seiji and Minami Yuko wanted to catch up with the enemy, but ultimately failed. In the end, they only found a bracelet-like metal ornament on the ground that was knocked off the enemy.

It is hard not to think too much when such an extremely heinous attack occurs.

Why didn't their TAC team get attacked during patrols at other times, but got attacked when the Silver Shark was about to be successfully researched?

It's hard not to think that the attacker's purpose was to prevent the Silver Shark from being born.

Thinking of this, Long Wulang immediately dialed Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was preparing to stay in the secret research institute for one night and return to the TAC headquarters with Silver Shark early the next morning. Before he went to bed, he heard the portable communicator ringing.

"This is Gu Chen, please speak."

As Gu Chen turned on the communicator, he saw Long Wulang's serious expression.

He knew that something must have happened.

Long Wulang looked at the clothes Gu Chen was wearing on the screen, and then said, "Advisor, something happened. When the team members were patrolling tonight, they were attacked by unknown enemies. Although the team members eventually repelled the enemy, unfortunately they did not capture the enemy."

"Is anyone hurt?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen first asked about the situation of the team members.

"No, under the protection of the barrier maker, the team members are very safe."

Long Goro shook his head. He was also thankful that after the attack by the Yabo people, the team members brought barrier makers with them when they went on missions. Otherwise, given the intensity of the battle last night, injuries would have been unavoidable. If their luck had been a little worse...

"That's fine. Then, Captain Long, what do you think about this attack tonight?"

Gu Chen nodded, and while talking to Long Wulang, he wondered in his heart whether the Yawa people might be involved in this attack.

After all, the Yabo people now did not die in the other dimension as in the original work, and then resurrected after a long time, but have been hiding in the dark and doing things quietly.

This is really, when will the Yabo people die out?

"I think the enemy's target is most likely the new weapon that is about to be completed - the Silver Shark."

Hearing Gu Chen's question, Long Wulang immediately expressed his guess.

"Well, it's not impossible. Just today, the Silver Shark passed the final simulation test, and I decided to transport it back to the headquarters tomorrow and install it on the Eagle for actual combat testing."

Gu Chen nodded. The enemy that appeared in the original plot also targeted this Silver Shark.

"I see. But...how did the enemy get the information about Silver Shark?"

Hearing this, Long Wulang frowned and his tone became a little serious.

"There is no impenetrable wall. The enemy only knows that we are researching silver sharks, but they don't know the location of the secret research institute. This shows that our confidentiality work has been done very well."

"And the reason why the enemy attacked us tonight is most likely to learn the location of the secret research institute from us so that they can destroy the unborn Silver Shark."

"So, I conclude that the enemy is likely to ambush on a road leading to the headquarters. In this case, we might as well do this..."

Gu Chen did not take the confidentiality of his own intelligence too seriously. After all, with the uneven development of science and technology today, it was too easy for aliens to steal any information. The fact that the location of the secret research institute had not been discovered by the enemy was already a huge victory for Gu Chen.

Immediately, Gu Chen told Long Wulang about his analysis of the matter and also formulated a battle plan.

Soon, a plan against the enemies who attacked the TAC team tonight was put forward after discussion between Gu Chen and Long Wulang.

I believe that by tomorrow, the enemies hiding in the dark will receive a surprise from the TAC team.

After discussing some details of the battle plan with Long Goro, Gu Chen hung up the call, but did not lie down to sleep. Instead, he found Kaji Yoichi who had been sent down, and regardless of his sleepy appearance, he directly said, "Captain Kaji, the situation has changed. In one night, can you add a manual operation module to the Silver Shark?"

Kaji Yoichi: ???
