234: Chapter 241 Three-Dimensional Reconnaissance by Land, Sea, and Air: The Upgrade of Scouts

With a flicker of thought, Su Yang opened the detailed information of the Scout.

After reading the Scout upgrade, Su Yang had only one sentence: it was too powerful.

This Scout upgrade unlocked two types of reconnaissance robots.

The first, Falcon Shadow, can conduct reconnaissance and scanning of the ground from the air.

As the battlefield situation becomes increasingly complex, the importance of aerial reconnaissance will grow.

Although there is the black bird available for aerial reconnaissance now, it is impossible to dispatch the black bird for every small battle.

Moreover, the black bird mainly conducts reconnaissance on large enemy forces and strategic deployments from high altitudes.

Falcon Shadow, which is closer to the ground and more detailed, is aimed at the distribution of enemy forces within a small range, providing guidance for the next tactical execution.

The second type, Kun Kun, is an amphibious all-terrain reconnaissance robot.

Falcon Shadow is responsible for the sky, while Kun Kun is responsible for the underground, water surfaces, and various internal spaces that cannot be detected from the air.

The functional difference between the two is not large; the main difference is the applicable environment.

Combining the two types of robots forms the 6th-level Scout's super-strong reconnaissance capability across three dimensions: water, land, and air.

Previously, the Scout's reconnaissance mainly relied on a pair of eyes and a single-soldier sonar device.

This set of reconnaissance Systems was fine for coping with the single plane of the ground, but it was somewhat stretched when facing more complex environments.

Take the recent Rangers battle as an example; because the Scout's single-soldier sonar could only display information on a single plane, when enemy aerial units appeared, they were the same points on the panel as other ground units.

It was only by comparing it with the actual situation on the ground that the existence of aerial units could be discovered.

If the number of enemy aerial units increases in the future, this method would likely lead to missed opportunities, causing the troops to be attacked, etc.

However, after upgrading to Level 6, the Scout directly unlocks the water, land, and air three-dimensional reconnaissance System.

Once the two robots are deployed, the panel will no longer be a plane, but a space—a three-dimensional space.

At that time, what is an aerial unit, what is a land unit, and what is a water unit will be clear at a glance.

Not only for the Scout, but the upgrade of reconnaissance capability will be a major improvement for the entire troop.

After analyzing the upgrade of the two unit types, Su Yang summoned the System's brain.

"Calculate the upgrade cost for the two Expeditionary Forces."

[Chancellor System Brain connecting, calculating...]

[Standard Expeditionary Force configuration: 50 Great Qin Armored Elite Soldiers, 30 Great Qin Armored Crossbowmen, 5 Great Qin Thousand-Mile Scouts, two Skyfire Guards, two Fire Dragon Guards]

[Upgrading the Great Qin Armored Elite Soldiers and Great Qin Thousand-Mile Scouts in the team to Level 6, calculating command points...]

[Calculating changes in resource consumption structure after upgrade...]

A series of instruction boxes popped up. The total time was less than three seconds, and the data on the upgrade cost and the subsequent series of resource changes appeared before Su Yang.

[The upgrade of the two Expeditionary Forces cost a total of 90,000 command points]

[After the upgrade, fuel consumption decreases, electricity consumption increases, and the fuel input ratio of the thermal power plant needs to be increased]

90,000 command points; this is the charm of the Great Qin Military System strategy.

After the reduction by the strategy, even the upgrade cost for Level 6 Imperial Armor soldiers is not high.

As for resources, steam power will withdraw from the history of Great Qin at this level.

However, although coal will not be burned in the Imperial Armor, it will still be burned in the thermal power plant to produce electricity.

Compared to using steam to provide power, electricity will be more efficient and energy-saving; this change can be considered as reducing the territory's resource consumption from the root.

With a flicker of thought, Su Yang invested the command points into the Generals Mansion.

[Are you sure you want to upgrade all upgradeable units in Expeditionary Force 1 and Expeditionary Force 2 to the current highest level?]

[Yes]

[command points - 90,000]

[Expeditionary Force 1 upgrading]

[50 Level 6 Great Qin Armored Elite Soldiers upgrading...]

[5 Level 6 Great Qin Thousand-Mile Scouts upgrading...]

[Expeditionary Force 2 upgrading]

[50 Level 6 Great Qin Armored Elite Soldiers upgrading...]

[5 Level 6 Great Qin Thousand-Mile Scouts upgrading...]

Soon, Expeditionary Force 1 and 2 completed the upgrade in the barracks in Australia.

Switching perspectives, Su Yang saw that the steam boilers on the soldiers after the upgrade had disappeared.

The disc-shaped steam device on the backs of the Elite Soldiers was replaced by a multi-variant structure that surrounded the back and followed the shape of the spine.

No need to guess, this is the "Tactical Backpack" newly acquired by the Elite Soldiers.

Although it is called a Tactical Backpack, one can tell from its appearance that it is clearly not an ordinary backpack.

The Tactical Backpack is actually a fully wrapped back armor made of steel.

It has a built-in anti-gravity generator and various weapon mounting brackets.

The electromagnetic submachine gun that the Elite Soldiers just acquired is hung on the side wing of the back armor.

On the other side, the Scouts also canceled the full-body steam power device.

Interestingly, the device on their backs looks more like a "backpack" than the Elite Soldiers' tactical backpack.

It is a device that is square on top and round on the bottom, made entirely of steel, with various precision mechanical mechanisms on the outside.

Although mysterious, it is not difficult to guess that this "backpack" must be loaded with the two types of reconnaissance robots.

As they continue to upgrade, the equipment of the Imperial Armor Troops is gradually becoming all-around and sci-fi.

It can be said that it fulfills all of Su Yang's imagination of Elite Soldiers.

After completing the two unit upgrades, Su Yang opened the Imperial Armor Camp panel once again.

The upgrade is still continuing; he must make full preparations for tomorrow's battle!
