Chapter 10: The Streaked Fortress
Because the "Tempest" has already exposed its current appearance when it broke through the Taimei WH level, there is no need to hide it when it enters the M320 star field this time, but takes the most direct and time-saving way to fly straight into the orbit of the first planet in a curvature state.

This is also the first time that the Tempest has come to the L4 base where the Kimek escort is located. It is a semi-fortress space city, which is a standard military base with defensive capabilities. Most of the records won by Fengyu are this kind of semi-fortress space cities, and there are only two or three civilian space cities. As for a large military fortress like "Tianjing Eyes", Fengyu has never touched it.
The goal of this battle is to destroy this L4 space city, so that all the traces of GMP people carried by this space city will become cosmic dust. This is the best way to eradicate the GMP project as much as possible.
According to the information provided by Leonardo's business intelligence network, Gemec Gene Pharmaceuticals has carried out a large purchase of space city infrastructure materials in the past six months, and the company responsible for transporting these materials is a company with a military background. The company is regularly engaged in some transportation operations with a high degree of secrecy, which shows that this batch of infrastructure materials was transported to the L4 base.
In other words, after the "Tempest" attacked the GMP project laboratory at the L5 Kimec incubation base in April, the L4 base began to carry out large-scale renovation work. Looking at this posture, the UAC Federation intends to combine the scientific research and military of the GMP project into one, and no longer live in different space cities, so as to facilitate unified protection.
This arrangement is not wrong from the perspective of security, but it gives Fengyu a chance to put the other party in the pot. Of course, the UAC Federation also knows the truth that it can't put all its eggs in one basket, and there must be a backup of the GMP project in other places, even if the L4 base of the first planet of M320 is taken to another place, it can still restart the project in other places, but it will take more than ten years.
According to the Kimek procurement list held by the Awa-Ker Business Intelligence Network, it can be judged that this semi-fortress space city is gradually transforming into a real military fortress. It's just that the transformation of a semi-fortress into a real fortress will definitely not be completed in half a year, it will take at least two to three years.
However, based on the historical experience of various countries in the construction or reconstruction of military fortifications, such works can be carried out in stages.
The first phase is the framework transformation of the space city. Normal civilian space cities or semi-fortress space cities are drum-shaped, while military fortresses are spherical and need to be transformed into an overall framework.
The second stage was the construction of the internal layout of the fortress, and the re-establishment of various military and non-military functional areas. If it is remodeled, it is common to retain the original non-military functional area and build the military functional area in the newly expanded space.
The third and final stage is the tedious interior renovation work. This phase takes the longest and doesn't have much practical significance for the function of the fortress, just for the sake of beauty and convenience.
The real key points are the first and second phases. With the infrastructure capacity of this era, it will only take one year to complete the first two phases. The frame transformation is actually very simple, usually it takes less than three months, and the main thing is to expand the drum-shaped space city into a larger spherical structure.
And after the completion of the first stage, although a military fortress has not yet been fully formed, it already has a certain combat effectiveness. Because as a military fortress of the big killer - no dead angle electromagnetic railgun track construction is carried out in the first stage, once the track construction is completed, and then the electromagnetic railgun body is installed, the fortress already has a powerful attack power.
The 2000mm electromagnetic railgun is currently the most powerful kinetic weapon, which can sink any type of warship with one shot, and the R particle shield cannot be protected, which can be described as a battleship nemesis.
Leonardo's business intelligence network was unable to penetrate the orbit of the first planet in the M320 star field, so it is unknown how far the L4 base has been converted into a military fortress. However, judging from the time when the materials purchased by Kimec arrived at the M320, the first phase of the L4 reconstruction work should have been almost completed.
In other words, the "Tempest" may be facing a fortress that does not have an external armor plate with a spherical shell, but it must already have a 2000mm electromagnetic railgun with no dead ends.
For a fortress of this stage, there is a witty name in military textbooks, called "a fortress that runs naked". The "Streaked Fortress" has a strong attack power, but it does not have the corresponding defense ability, and when it encounters a fleet attack, it is easy to be injured by the main artillery and the internal structure of the fortress.
The problem is that the "Tempest" is lonely, and the launch port of the main gun in the bow of the ship is temporarily blocked and cannot be used, so there is no threat to the L4 base, but there is a danger of being sunk by the 2000mm electromagnetic railgun with no dead ends.
In the face of this battle, the "Tempest" will have to stay at a safe distance and enter optical stealth mode to avoid being besieged by the warships of the Kimek escort. And the courage to attack and sink this "streaking fortress" fell on the mobile suits.
This will be the first time Feng Yu has fought against a fortress in his life, and it is very likely that it will become the first military fortress to be sunk in his military career.
But compared to honor, Fengyu would rather this task be easier and simpler, preferably because the L4 base has not completed the first phase of transformation and the track has not been erected.
However, this did not give him his wish, when the "Tempest" exited the curvature flight at a distance of 100,000 kilometers from the L4 base, and the three-dimensional projection of the center of the bridge through optical sensors was a "streaking fortress" that had completed the first phase of transformation.
Outside the original drum-shaped space city structure, a new frame has been completed, constructing a huge hollowed-out sphere with a diameter of 10 kilometers. In the outermost layer of the sphere's frame, three interdicdicular loops resemble a three-dimensional space ring for training pilots in their sense of space.
These three circular orbital lines can rotate freely on three mutually perpendicular axes, and the 2000mm electromagnetic projectile after the orbital electromagnetic acceleration will be fired tangentially from the circumference of any angle.
This is the true face of the 2000mm electromagnetic railgun, unlike other small particle cannons or Gauss cannons that have such a barrel.
