The First Evolution

The reason for getting up in such a hurry is very simple. Another batch of airdrops has arrived. In this batch of airdrops, there are standard supply stations that are urgently needed.

Not only that, the armored bunker also suffered a raid, and two titanium steel alloy external armors were severely corroded and needed to be re-welded.

When Fang Linyan arrived at the construction site, Statham seemed to have been here for a long time, and he would give him some pointers when he was free from work.

Under the guidance of Statham, Fang Linyan's harvest is also not small. This guy doesn't talk much, but every sentence can get to the point.

Take Stassen’s words: Welders can’t do well just by being able to use a welding gun according to the script. Especially in military welding, it is related to the life and death of soldiers. Without rich actual combat experience, it is impossible to do a decent job.

The supply station is different from the bunker, which only needs argon-fluoride welding. In addition to considering the firmness of the solder joints, it is also necessary to pay attention to its ductility.

The supply station built by Statham with Fang Linyan is the crystallization of high-tech wisdom newly developed by the empire. In addition to the functions in the conventional sense, the supply station also has a lifting function.

As the name implies, a supply station is a warehouse for storing supplies. Unlike civilian warehouses, not only the safety of ammunition, but also its concealment must be considered, so as not to become the primary attack target of the enemy.

That's why federal scientists invented this kind of supply station that can be lifted and lowered.

The supply station is not big, like a 4m x 4 x 10 iron box. The top is equipped with a ventilation system, two fans are hovering on it, and there are two closable entrances and exits at the front and rear.

The steel plate is made of 150 mm thick alloy carbon steel, which cannot penetrate even heavy machine gun bullets with a rate of fire of up to 800 meters per second.

In order to resist air strikes, the wartime supply station can also be lowered to the ground when necessary, and then covered by two thickened hinged bulletproof doors.

At the same time, this kind of supply station is also multi-functional. It is not only equipped with ammunition storage equipment, but also equipped with field beds, which can accommodate 15 soldiers to rest here.

The welding of the supply station requires some skills. Because of the consideration of comfort and practicality, Fang Linyan has a deeper understanding of fusion welding, sub-welding, brazing and gas welding under the teaching of Statham. It can be said that it has benefited a lot.

Soon, the entire camp was almost completed, so Fang Linyan went to chat with Statham, and his casual words could make Lin Yan's eyes shine.

And Statham is a person who doesn't like drinking, and of course there is a wine bureau where he is.

Federal officers also have the habit of drinking two drinks to relax after work, so Lin Yan also became familiar with Jason, the combat commander in the base, and his subordinates. They recognized Lin Yan's welding level. The relationship quickly heated up.

***

However, just when the drinking was in full swing, an orderly next to him immediately trotted over and said:

"Engineer Statham, Deputy Commander Hank has requested to speak with you."

After hearing the news, Stassen scolded a swear word:

"What the hell, I hate when people bother me when I'm drinking!"

Then he turned around and left, and after a while, he heard a series of yelling from inside.

After a while, Statham walked out with a dark face, and then pointed to Fang Linyan very simply:

"Boy, come with me. Just now, I was asked to do coolie work. Just because I was short of manpower, I called you directly."

Fang Linyan said simply:

"No problem, but my two friends have to follow me too."

Statham snorted coldly:

"I'll give you fifteen minutes to pack up,

The shuttle that picks me up will arrive in 20 minutes. When the shuttle arrives, I want to see you waiting for me at the landing site with your luggage on your back. "

So half an hour later, Fang Linyan and the three were already on their way back to New Watch Fort.

Before leaving, the quartermaster had already evaluated them when they established the outpost, Fang Linyan got 50 platinum coins, and the vulture and the goat got 30 points as his second-in-command.

Statham was still a very talkative person along the way, chatting and laughing with the co-pilot who came randomly all the time.

The two of them seemed to be familiar with each other, so the co-pilot talked about one thing in the chat, that is, the mechanic who worked for them yesterday was an idiot. question.

Statham said:

"This is the most common mistake that beginners make. When the circulation system of the supply station is installed, the transmission system on the exhaust valve and the intake valve looks exactly the same, and it is easy to install it backwards. The system strikes after an hour of work."

The co-pilot said:

"I don't know the cause of the failure very well, but it is a fact that the toilet fails."

"Then when this guy came to troubleshoot the problem, he went out to poop because he disliked the toilet being too dirty, and was bitten by a poisonous mosquito on the balls!"

"The doctor's recommendation now is to cut off the thing under his crotch that was swollen to the size of an apple and started to rotting and flowing black water..."

Statham took out a jug and took a sip, scolding with a smile:

"Damn, I believe that if he knew there were such consequences, that unlucky bastard would rather choose to spend a day in that toilet."

Hearing such a conversation, the three looked at each other and saw a chill in each other's eyes.

Although this is a small probability event, it is enough to show that this place is full of dangers, making people shudder and act cautiously.

This is not a safe metropolis, but a cruel environment where the weak eat the weak. The bloody facts around them, even if it’s just a joke, are reminding them that this place is very, very, very dangerous!

When the shuttle landed again at the New Watch Fort, Stassen was informed that he was called back urgently, and it was indeed a very important matter.

However, it was because the communication system of the command center of the new Watch Fort was faulty. The sensor showed that there should be a problem with the external line or relay station, so it was impossible to get in touch with the mothership Laksa, so it had to be dealt with as soon as possible. .

But now after two hours of repair, not only has the connection with the mothership not been restored, but even with the rest of the sentry camps and military bases, the connection has gradually been lost.

In this day and age, this is a very fatal thing!

Therefore, while the communication has not been completely interrupted, the new Watch Fort will recall all the mechanical engineers scattered out, and solve the imminent problems first.

After figuring out the problem, Statham signaled Fang Linyan to follow him.

Because at this time, he was asked to accompany him to the command center to read the code of this fault. With the fault code, you can know the specific general area of ​​the fault, the cause of the fault, and so on.

The command center was established 40 hours ago. It is located in the center of the New Watch Fort. It looks like a giant hamburger, with a round top and a flat bottom.

Different from bunkers, air defense towers and other facilities, the command center is composed of six giant components airborne from the mothership. It has its own flight function and can also be understood as a movable fortress. Its chassis has as many as sixteen variable thrusters, which allow it to take off and land vertically, or fly slowly at six mph.

The bottom area of ​​the command center is about 6,000 square meters, almost the size of a football field, with a height of more than 20 meters. It is divided into three floors.

In addition to the sixteen plasma steering thrusters, there are two large warehouses in the ground floor area, which are usually equipped with twenty SCI and four "Leopard" armored personnel carriers, which are used to build defense facilities and collect resources. , and also provide basic defensive power.

The middle layer is used as the headquarters, and the upper layer is the radar communication room, which is responsible for receiving and issuing various combat deployments.

At the top of the command center, 19 UYK-7 optical brains, 20 UYK-20 intellectual brains, and 22 tactical three-dimensional displays are integrated, which together form the proud "Hermes Field Operation" of the Star Consortium. system."

This thing is like the brains of the entire command center.

At the same time, an AN/SPY-1 multi-function phased array high-power radar is enough to support any needs of the commander. Its role is also irreplaceable, and it is the eyes and ears of the entire command center.

In addition, there is a heavy 320mm ultra-high pulse gun on the top of the command center. The longest range of this thing can reach 40 kilometers. With its own fire control system, it can accurately hit any target within the range.

At the same time, if coverage suppression firepower is required, it can be replaced with a Krupp heavy artillery with a caliber of 400 mm within five minutes!

It can launch X-M185 remote sensing special artillery shells at a speed of one round in twenty seconds.

After the XM185 remote sensing artillery shell is launched at an initial velocity of 692 m/s, it will go straight to the air at a distance of 500 meters from the target location.

Then the built-in parachute is opened, and the information sensor in the bomb starts to work, relying on the small radar inside to search for the target.

Once the target is locked, the magazine of the XM185 remote sensing artillery shell is directly opened, and as many as 45 incendiary bullets are poured down, turning a full two square kilometers into a sea of ​​fire.
