Chapter 101: First Arrival
Seeing that Mir seemed to be very talkative, several people stepped forward to talk to him, and what Mir said was not a top secret, but they could learn about it when they got off the shuttle, so the random sergeant did not stop it.
From Milkou, the three of them learned that the task of their large group of people should be to build a military base.
The standard configuration of each military base is three hundred soldiers,
Two Ghost Fighters for reconnaissance,
Twelve "rainbow trout" fast-response all-terrain jet combat vehicles,
Twenty-four full-time four-wheel drive "Opposers" tracked armoured vehicles (which can be equipped with high-explosive fuel injectors or Black Mamba tracking bombardment devices).
At the same time, after the establishment of the military base, there will be room for expansion to be converted into a mining town in the future.
However, there is also the possibility of building a military outpost, although this possibility is brushed aside by Mir.
But Fang Linyan knew very well that what was hurriedly skipped was probably the point, this should be the absolute drudgery, and it was also what their group of people had to face!
It's like a newcomer who sees the salary on the job advertisement says 3000-9000/month, and immediately starts to look forward to a monthly salary of 9000.
Ahem, wake up brother, what is waiting for you must be a monthly salary of 3000, no, no, after deducting this deduction and that, it is only 1700 in the end......
In addition, Fang Linyan received a good news:
That is, under the current heavy combat mission, the casualties of the soldiers are very heavy, and there is no doubt that the damage rate of warplanes and armed vehicles has also skyrocketed, so it is not only the army and mercenaries who are tired, but also the maintenance workers who arrive with them.
At first, they could take turns sleeping for a few hours a day, but later, as a large number of weapons were constantly returned, the maintenance workers were completely at full capacity, so busy that they didn't even have time to eat, and their sleeping time was squeezed, and everyone's eyes were red like rabbits.
Why don't synths like Coles David work as repairmen?
It's just that when they make it, they can only load the combat module, and they can do some simple mechanical work.
However, to determine the fault according to the intricacies of the situation, such as maintenance, and then repair according to local conditions, this requires a very sophisticated and advanced logical thinking program model, and similar artificial intelligence is still being developed.
It is worth mentioning that after takeoff, the cabin began to play relevant information on the planet Morston, including all kinds of weird and ferocious creatures above, which made people's scalps really numb.
After about two hours of flight, the shuttle formation had already begun to enter the meteorite belt.
At this time, the unique six thrusters of the Unicorn II came into play, like a scarab that seemed to be thick, deftly shuttling through the meteorite belt.
Large meteorites maneuver to dodge, while small meteorites rely on their own two layers of thick armor to hit the past.
The journey of nearly three hours through the meteorite belt is unforgettable for many passengers.
Because the Unicorn II has two major disadvantages, the first is that the model is too old, and the second is that it is too pragmatic, so it completely ignores comfort......
So, fifty percent of the people vomited half an hour after entering the meteorite belt.
The remaining 49 percent began to vomit 10 minutes after entering the meteorite belt.
Fortunately, the crew had expected it, so they had already prepared vomit bags for everyone, and put them in a place where they could reach them as soon as they reached out.
Ahem, there are only five people in the entire hanging cabin who didn't vomit.
Fang Linyan trio,
A thin-faced man with a sharp face who huddled in the corner and didn't speak,
The Mir guy adjusted the seat belt to the shortest, which was equivalent to strapping himself to the seat, and then actually fell asleep.
Looking at the sharp and thin face, the goat said:
"This guy is a little suspicious, we didn't vomit because of the digitization of our bodies, is he also a contractor? Do you want me to touch the bottom later?"
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Just keep an eye on him, and we shouldn't do anything extraneous. ”
"Don't be careful, think I'm hiding something, in fact, it's because the information I have collected is not complete, so I don't have any confidence myself, and it won't help to say it, so it's better to wait until I am sure that I can say it. ”
Finally, after three hours, the journey that seemed like a nightmare to most people was finally coming to an end.
Some of the unlucky ones even vomited out of the bile, and their faces turned pale as if they were seriously ill.
Soon, the shuttle had already begun to enter the atmosphere of the Merston Star, and at this time, Fang Linyan noticed that Mill had woken up, silently holding a cross as if praying.
Obviously, in Mir's mind, the meteorite belt was not dangerous at all, and he could sleep peacefully.
And the rest of the journey made him feel the danger.
After successfully coming to the airspace of the Moston star, you can see large clouds of fog everywhere, like clouds and haze, looking hazy and poorly visible.
And there are occasional thunder and lightning flashes in these fogs, and there are dull roars in the distance from time to time, which makes people feel ominous premonition in their hearts after listening to them.
Not only that, but the connection between the shuttle and the signal above began to become intermittent, and it was almost necessary to shout loudly to barely recognize the other party's words.
Probably to avoid the fog in the air, the entire shuttle formation is completely flying at ultra-low altitudes.
It even hit the thick and soft mushroom cap of the huge purple mushroom tree on the ground many times, and then it scattered a large number of purple spores, which looked very spectacular.
At this time, Mir also looked a little nervous, although he had been tied to the seat belt, his hands were also tightly gripping the gauntlets next to him.
Fang Linyan said that he could understand his nervousness, because he had accessed the intranet with Ragget's account before and knew some top-secret information with scales and half-claws:
That is, the harsh weather on the planet Merston (codenamed β on the intranet) is quite terrifying, even if it is just a take-off and landing, its crash rate has reached 8.2 percent, what does it mean?
When a ground-based aircraft is flying, every 12 take-off and landing, there is a high probability of a crash! Although a crash does not mean that the plane is destroyed or killed, it is also frightening enough.
Fortunately, this time the pilot brother was very stable, and it only took half an hour to dock at the airport safely.
It was the first fortress established by the Star Consortium on the planet Murton, named New Watch, and by this time there were almost 3,000 people stationed there.
In order to strengthen its defensive power, it even dropped the poured components at any cost, and directly built a steel concrete city wall with a height of five meters and a width of about eight meters around it.
According to the introduction of the people next to him, the suppressive firepower on the city wall is extremely amazing, and the total is as follows:
24 Haqikes 47 mm electromagnetic rapid-fire guns,
12 AN/SQR-20 Sanctioner 127mm twin-mounted all-round guns,
12-door Barracuda 610mm rapid-fire acid missile launcher,
The most noteworthy are the two penetrating heat ray precision strike systems that have not yet been mass-produced, also known as doomsday gaze.
Any enemy hit by it will be hit by an astonishing penetrating power in an instant, with a high heat ray strike of up to 10,000 degrees, which can be said to be almost indestructible.
Such a defensive force can only be described as armed to the teeth.
After this military operation is completed, New Watch Fort will become the largest forward mining base on the planet Merston, maintaining the capacity to expand into a town of 20,000 to 30,000 people in a week.
At this time, it is not too difficult to build a city on an alien planet, just make all kinds of components directly in the factory, and then use a heavy transport machine to lift them and assemble them, the essence of which is not much different from playing with Lego bricks.
The new watchtower is even more convenient at this time, and the barracks are the kind of reinforced containers, with air filtration facilities, beds, free water and vapor collection facilities, intelligent modules, bulletproof armor, and so on.
It can be used by the transport ship mounted under the belly and directly on the ground, of course, provided that the user knows the code to open the door and carries a blanket with him.
Before Fang Linyan and the others were driven off the Unicorn Fairy Type II shuttle like ducks, everyone was told to wear the allotted filter masks.
This is because although the air of Moston can barely breathe humans, it can last for an hour at most before symptoms of poisoning appear, so it is necessary to shield the air from harmful substances through a filter mask.
However, Fang Linyan secretly took a few breaths, and found that this thing may be poisonous to ordinary people, but the contractor of the digital body can last for at least a day, and the person with high physical strength may not need this thing at all, which is probably the advantage of the contractor.
As if they had been driven away, they got off the plane and were quickly taken to a large barracks next door, where seven or eight soldiers were already waiting.
As soon as Fang Linyan and the others entered and sat down, a bearded officer named Jason led by him said loudly:
"Rookies, welcome to hell!"
"Now, pick up that little blue pill in front of you and eat it!"
"Rest assured, it doesn't work like it keeps your thing standing at a ninety degree angle, but it quickly relieves the symptoms of intense vomiting after your airsickness. ”
"I'm going to give you ten seconds to take your medicine!"
"Hey, why don't you eat it?"
Jason looked at Fang Linyan with some annoyance:
