Chapter 8: L2 Fortress
Although the Dijing L2 Fortress consumes more energy than other fortresses, it is not very worthwhile from the perspective of cost performance, but its concealment is like a poisonous snake, which is enough to give a fatal blow to the opponent who invades the Dijing Star Domain at a critical moment.

Due to the need for power compensation, the fort needed to be fitted with conventional thrusters to ensure that it could remain in the L2 position. With no access to stellar energy, the fortress's solar simulation system needs to compensate for a large amount of thermal energy to maintain the internal temperature. As a result, L2 Fortress requires a lot of annual maintenance costs, which is almost worth the cost of a first-line fleet.
In the UAC, it would be impossible for such a costly L2 fort to be approved by parliament, and therefore not to be budgeted for construction and maintenance. It was only in a place like Dijing, where the emperor was far away, that even the local finances and taxes were taken care of by Admiral Goering, so he dared to build such a fortress that would always burn a lot of money.
In fact, the degree of concealment of the Dijing L2 fortress is so high that even the UAC country does not know about it, otherwise it would not be possible for Luo Yunxi to confirm its existence until today with Awa-ker's intelligence capabilities.
Therefore, this L2 fortress is either a private army built by Goering himself, or an important base for investment at No's expense. According to Captain Morgan's analysis, it is more likely that NO and Admiral Goering jointly own the fortress.
Because of the need for power compensation and thermal energy compensation, the size of the Dijing L2 fortress is much larger than that of ordinary fortresses. Fengyu's "Tianjing Right Eye", which was trained as a pilot, was only 10 kilometers in diameter, while the Dijing L2 Fortress reached 20 kilometers, which is 8 times the volume.
Through Luo Yunxi's careful snooping of his "reconnaissance" ability, more data about the L2 fortress of Dijing was mastered by Morgan.
Because of its larger size, the fortress also has much more firepower than the "Tianjing Right Eye", and it is equipped with two electromagnetic railguns with no dead ends, firing 2000mm armor-piercing shells, which can sink all ships except the New America-class mothership in one shot. In addition, there are a large number of defensive turrets and small-caliber particle cannons, mainly used to defend mobile suits from approaching.
At the same time, according to the automatic count of the mental power imager system, it was calculated that this fortress had 2,000 mobile suit silos, which was also twice as many as the "Tianjing Right Eye". In fact, this is supposed to be an early design, that is, a product of the era when the iron ball was still in service. When the Iron Ball is retired, it is unknown whether there will be 2,000 humanoid mobile suits in this fortress.
Fengyu's judgment is no. No matter how capable Admiral Goering and No matter how capable, it is impossible to secretly raise 2,000 pilots in the L2 fortress. This amount is enough to equip three full-fledged first-line fleets, and it really doesn't make sense to sit idle here. You must know that Goering is a man who will even pull out the pilots of the local garrison fleet for rotational operations, and it is impossible to do such a stupid thing.
However, when the war spreads to the Dijing Star Domain, Admiral Goering may transfer pilots from the local garrison fleet in the rear to fill the L2 fortress. This must be noted.
In addition to the Mobile Suit Silo, after Luo Yunxi's spiritual power invaded the L2 fortress, a total of 10 berthing warships were found in the airports on both sides of its axis area. The hull livery of these ships is shown as Admiral Goering's direct fleet.
Admiral Goering's fleet, also known as the Dijing Garrison Fleet, is the only garrison fleet with the size of a first-line fleet, and is not counted among the 10 first-line fleets of the Front. And judging from the current situation, this fleet actually has 10 warships hidden in the L2 fortress, which is beyond the normal first-line fleet establishment.
In addition to the Dijing Garrison Fleet, there are actually two second-tier fleets in this star field, called the Dijing First Garrison Fleet and the Second Garrison Fleet, which are responsible for the management of the shipping lanes in the Kuiper Belt and the Comet Cloud region respectively.
Although these three fleets are not nominally first-line fleets, their combat effectiveness is not inferior to those first-line fleets fighting on the DT2 and Taiya WH fronts, and together they form the core force of Admiral Goering's Dijing Circle.
"If we can sink the Dijing L2 fortress, will the apparent rapprochement between Admiral Goering and the UAC be broken?" Feng Yu had a whim.
Faced with Fengyu's question, Morgan fell into deep thought.
Once the fortress is sunk, it will naturally lose power and will not be able to maintain its position. When the time comes, it will either be pulled to the surface by the gravitational force of Dijing, or it will be pulled into space by the gravitational force of Diyang, and it will definitely be exposed to the eyes of the world.
It's just that the harm of doing so is too great, and if a whole fortress falls to the surface of Dijing, it will be a devastating disaster. The 20-kilometer-diameter behemoth fell to the ground, even if it has been partially consumed by the atmosphere, its power is still far greater than the current maximum yield of nuclear weapons, which will cause an irreparable blow to the ecology of Dijing.
In this way, this is not a purely military operation against NO, but will be classified as a terrorist attack, which is unacceptable to Awa-ker.
At this time, Valkyrie excitedly exclaimed, "Okay! Chief! You're going to kill it! Let's go back to the Saturn distribution center and get the Tempest over. As long as this vote is done, this trip to New Asia will be worth it! ”
Feng Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, "I just mentioned it, this matter has to be considered in the long run." We can't do it alone. Look at how thick the armor plate of the Dijing L2 fortress is, it is an ultra-thick shell that can't even be pierced by a ship slasher, and it can only break through the air ports on both sides. If you look at how dense the defensive turrets are in the airport area, you can basically achieve a fire blockade without dead ends. If the fortress can also be cut down by Mobile Suits, then what are Admiral Goering and NO spending so much money for? ”
As Feng Yu said, the reason why a fortress is called a fortress is that it naturally has a defensive force that cannot be compared with battleships and semi-fortresses. To sink the fortress, you still have to rely on the main guns of the battleship to carry it out. However, the strength of the fortress-level R-particle shield is also extremely amazing, and it is possible for a full-line fleet to penetrate it at close range. But the question is which fleet would dare to approach the L2 fortress under the threat of two 2000mm electromagnetic railguns without dead ends.
At this time, perhaps the most useful thing is the positive electron cannon that I made myself, which can ignore the R particle shield and bombard the fortress at a long distance.
However, compared to ordinary forts, L2 forts still have a relatively obvious weakness to attack, that is, vector vents distributed in all directions of the fortress to compensate for power. If these vents are attacked with kinetic weapons, the fortress will not be able to maintain its current position as long as the amount of damage reaches a certain level, and it will drift away from the L2 Lagrange point.
Of course, this is only a theoretical weakness. With the powerful firepower of L2 Fortress, there are really not many people who can pose a threat to it.
Apparently Valkyrie also noticed these vents, and immediately reminded, "Isn't the 'Storm' optically invisible, and can quietly break through these vents into the fortress." ”
"Stop, stop! This fortress can't just be sunk! Captain Morgan saw that Viking Girl was so interested in sinking L2 Fortress that he had to jump out to interrupt her. He then gave a general description of the dangers of the fortress falling to the surface of Jijing, and finally concluded, "It's not impossible to sink the L2 fortress, but first you must find a way to get it out of the L2 position and move away from Jijing." Failing that, the Board will certainly not agree to take any action against it. ”
Feng Yu also nodded when he heard this, he hadn't considered this danger before, so he would put forward this idea. Now after listening to Captain Morgan's analysis, I really can't act rashly.
The main purpose of this trip is to find out the secret of Admiral Goering hidden in Dijing L2, and after confirming that there is a fortress here, the next step is to submit it to the think tank for analysis and deliberation by the council, and then it is possible to enter the specific implementation stage, which is definitely not something that Fengyu and Morgan can decide on their own.
Even if Fengyu wanted to take action against L2 Fortress, he would have to wait until the news was transmitted back to the New African System Awa-Ker's headquarters, where it would be discussed and approved by the Council before it could be implemented.
Of course, as voting directors, both Fengyu and Morgan agree to sink the L2 Fortress, provided that there is a way that does not affect the surface of Dijing.
The group stayed in Dijing CBD for three days, giving Luo Yunxi plenty of time to delve into the internal structure of the L2 fortress and prepare for possible future break-in operations. The Psychic Imaging System will save these images as video files as important information.
During this period, Captain Morgan also symbolically walked around the space city, greeting some familiar conglomerates, creating the illusion that he was actually doing business. If conditions permit, he also hopes to ask Feng Yu and the others to apply for temporary permission to set foot on the surface of Dijing, so that they can see the beautiful red sea.
Of the seven habitable planets discovered so far, all of the planets are blue-green oceans like Earth, except for Jijing. The Red Sea of Jikyo can be said to be unique for the time being.
Although he couldn't apply for a landing permit in the end, Fengyu didn't feel sorry for it. He firmly remembered that the purpose of the trip was not to travel at public expense, but to attack the base camp of NO.
After completing the collection of information on the L2 fortress of Jijing, Morgan handed over this information and his and Fengyu's opinions to the Jijing Intelligence Station to pass it back to the Awa-Ker headquarters, and then the "Storm" left the Jijing Star Domain.
In the next six months to a year, this destroyer will go deep into the rear of the UAC occupation zone of the New Asian galaxy to carry out harassing attacks on the base camp forces of NO, and weaken the power of this evil organization as much as possible.
