Chapter 435: Peacemaker
Only about 9,000 captives were rescued sporadically. When the NAC soldiers rescued the poor men, who were huddled and shivering in the rubble, they were almost crying with emotion.
The liberation of the rebel coalition captives was only an incidental mission, not an obligation of the First Corps. So in the final bombardment, Cheng Weiguo didn't care about the prisoners of these mutants at all.
This is understandable, Cheng Weiguo could not risk the lives of soldiers for these strangers. Being able to save them from the mutants is already worthy of them.
After occupying No. 7 land, Cheng Weiguo ordered the soldiers to be stationed on the spot, and while the supply trucks returned to Shenxiang Town to load ammunition, the squads reported and summarized the casualties. The weapons and ammunition collected were registered, and those that could be used were brought with them, and those that could not be used were put together as scrap and the confiscated C, B, and A steel cantons, waiting for trucks to be pulled to the colony of Shenxiang Town.
As for the rescued captives, Cheng Weiguo ordered the soldiers to place them in makeshift camps, provided them with nutritional mixtures, and recruited soldiers and sappers who were willing to join them.
Many of them were soldiers of the Rebel Alliance in Jiashi, and they only needed to be issued a rifle and could build up their combat effectiveness without unnecessary training. And when they heard that Cheng Weiguo planned to attack Jiashi, take revenge on the mutants, and liberate their homeland, they almost didn't hesitate to defect under the banner of NAC.
It happened that the First Corps had captured a lot of weapons from the mutants, so Cheng Weiguo scattered some of the 1,400 soldiers recruited into various infantry teams, and the other part formed infantry squads independently. As for the 1,000 sappers who are also in the team, they can serve as substitutes. and to build fortifications.
After reorganization, the ranks of the First Corps instantly expanded to more than 4,000 people.
Early the next morning. The fully assembled 1st Corps continued on the road and headed in the direction of Jiashi.
As for the remaining freed captives. After asking Jiang Chen about his intentions, Cheng Weiguo temporarily placed them in No. 7 place, and promised to send someone to pick them up after the capture of Jia City, and then led the troops out of No. 7 land.
The real battlefield is in Chiashi.
And the mutants entrenched in Land Seven are just an appetizer
"The battle damaged 5 power armors, 31 mechanical exoskeletons, 110 light infantry killed and 132 seriously wounded. A total of 210,000 rounds of ammunition and 2,200 shells were consumed. "Stand inside the office. Han Junhua reported to Jiang Chen the results of the First Corps.
If it was really a cannon fire, it was ten thousand taels of gold. The consumption of this first battle alone was more than 350,000 subcrystals. Even Jiang Chen, who had made nearly 10 million Yajing in the grain business, had to lament the burning of money in this war.
Of course, this sub-crystal was not paid for by him, but by the war funds raised by the sixth block.
"What's the situation in the sixth block?" Jiang Chen asked, staring at the holographic map.
"The reinforcement of the fence is almost complete. At the same time, traces of the Thrower's activity were observed outside the Sixth Block. Han Junhua said.
Droppers were observed outside the sixth block, which meant that the zombies and xenomorphs on the outskirts of the city center had spread to the suburbs.
Is the mountain rain coming, and the wind is full of buildings?
Looking at the red dots on the holographic map, Jiang Chen fell silent.
At this moment. As a marshal, all he could do was sit at his desk and wait for the good news from the front. As NAC's power expanded, there were fewer and fewer things he needed to do himself. All the battle losses and results are just a number in front of him.
That's when it happened. There was a sudden knock at the door.
"Please come in. Jiang Chen looked at the door and said.
The door opened, and it was Jiang Lin, director of the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, who walked in. I saw that he was happy, and there was no trace of the sad expression of the other people in the base.
"What you need is ready. ”
Hear Jiang Lin's words. Jiang Chen looked at the clock on the wall, and then stood up.
"Take me to see it now. ”
"Okay. Jiang Lin nodded. Immediately turned and walked out the door.
Jiang Chen looked at Han Junhua.
"I'll leave it to you here. ”
"Hmm. ”
Her answer was as concise as ever
When he came to the launch site of the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute with Jiang Lin, he saw several staff members busy around a rocket about four stories high. The robotic arm, which is several people tall, is connected to the tablet by a data cable. I saw a technician constantly tapping the screen with his fingers, operating the robotic arm to stretch out the welding torch and completely weld the spliced steel plate.
Except for the waste that was distributed to the wasteland, the scientists of the entire Vault 27, and the only ones left from the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute have not yet entered the Vault. Since Jiang Chen instructed Jiang Lin to set up the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute, these scientists have moved to the Fish Bone Base with their families.
At first, they were a little unhappy, but Jiang Chen didn't care if they were unhappy? Seeing that the protest was ineffective, they had no choice but to honestly contribute their knowledge and design rockets for Jiang Chen.
"The Dolphin-10 ICBM, developed at the end of the 21st century and still in use today, is probably the largest ballistic missile variety deployed in the PAC. Looking at this rocket, Jiang Lin had a bit of pride on his face.
In order to create this missile, he also put a lot of effort into it. Although he couldn't understand why Jiang Chen wanted to design a weapon that could hit the Western Hemisphere, he still did as Jiang Chen asked.
Just such a missile used up a million subcrystals worth of materials, and Jiang Lin has not been less eyed by Wang Qing in the past few months.
In the project department of the entire base, only he, the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute, spends the most money. Because many of the parts could not be produced in-house, they had to pay expensive hire money to the expedition team that went outside the province.
For example, the propulsion engine of this missile was transported from the Taipei launch base (ruins), 600 kilometers away from Wanghai City. In order to carry this propulsion engine, those mercenary groups run the risk of being torn apart by mutant sharks, and this commission is naturally not small.
But rolling your eyes, this fund still has to be approved, after all, this is a project ordered by the marshal himself.
"Why is it called a dolphin? Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"Deploy under the sea, Peacemaker, you know. Jiang Lin tapped the base of the missile with an electric welding gun and grinned.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of his words, and smiled with him.
Peacemaker, nuclear peacemaker.
Tsk, I didn't expect this future person to be quite humorous.
"The total length of the missile is 11 meters, the diameter of the missile is 1.55 meters, the launch weight is 35.1 tons, and the maximum throw weight is 2088 kilograms. It can be deployed in a 1,200-meter-deep submarine missile silo with a maximum range of 21,000 kilometers. The missile's side launch rings are underwater propulsion units, which are not needed if used on land. ”
"The launch mechanism is a non-detached three-stage propulsion mode, that is, the underwater propulsion ring pushes the missile to 100 meters underwater and then separates from the missile, the missile's own engine ignites, and the engine shuts down after pushing the missile to low earth orbit. After relying on the Earth's rotation to move to the sky above the target, the engine re-ignites and strikes the target area vertically. ”
"The missile casing is coated with an anti-radar material that reduces the radar reflection to the size of a seagull. Theoretically, only the 'Passive Coherent Positioning System' can detect the signs of the missile's launch. ”
In terms of size, the total length of 11 meters is undoubtedly like a pocket toy compared to the ICBMs of the five rogues, which are 20 or 30 meters long. But there is no doubt that anyone who dares to doubt its combat effectiveness will pay for it. (To be continued.) )
