——TR81.2.3——
Former Mimatar supply depot, now Howe Fortress Forward Base.
"Jim, I've decided, I'll call her 'Angel' in the future."
"It doesn't sound like a difference."
"If I go to pursue her, is there any play?"
"You're taking revenge."
“……”
It turned out that the Mimatar fleet did not intend to hold on to the supply depots that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after its defense line was broken through in many places, the remaining garrison completely abandoned the place, and even the vulture chariots that had been harassed by throwing grenades everywhere did not reappear, of course, it is also possible that their spider mines ran out of deterrence and did not dare to come.
As for Tykes, he has been obsessed with her since he was rescued from the black charcoal state by the medic Angela with a "super healing light", but Angela does not want to see this bald man, and only focuses on treating the clone soldiers who have arrived at the supply depot base from other fronts, so Tykis can only come to harass Renault, who is busy arranging the new base.
Yes, a new base, a forward base built on the ruins of a razed supply depot.
After meeting up with his comrades on other routes and emptying the area of the Mimatar supply station, Renault sent a message to the Howe Fortress with the message "Mission completed, request next instructions", thinking that they would be able to rush to the aid of other battlefields, but received an order to "deploy in place and build an advance base", and along with this order, there was also a transport plane carrying ten SCVs.
Build an advance base while the Howe Fortress is still under siege? After a little thought, Renault thought of the reason: the presence of his own base on the original site of the supply depot would cause a morale blow to the enemy's attack sequence, and make their tactics become a rat trap, if they continued to attack, they might be flanked in front and back, or even sneak attack on the base camp, and if they returned to clear this forward base, the attack on the Howe Fortress would be tantamount to failure, so it was indeed more appropriate to look at it than to return to help.
But the only problem with this plan is that the new base itself will be very dangerous and could be terminated at any time.
Renault was not surprised by this, it was just a normal tactic, so he issued an order to the SCVs to build the command center, the supply depot, the barracks, the tank factory, and the starport.
"Are you designing barracks? I'm going to live in the one that's close to the field hospital. After a brief silence, Tykes reactivated.
"No problem." Renault swiped his finger to place the AR projection of the barracks with the AR projection of the field hospital.
"Good brother!" Tykes patted Renault on the shoulder vigorously.
"But Angela will live in the command center."
"......" Tykes was silent. Clouds
This "virtual projection of reality" is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen by reading a specific layer through a helmet, visor or other related equipment, which is quite friendly to the commander of the base construction plan who is busy with things and accidentally forgets that he is not careful.
As for the specific planning of each building, it is basically enough to be flat, because most of them can be adjusted by taking off and shifting, but the command center needs to be as close as possible to high-energy crystals and gas to facilitate SCV collection, after the collection, these resources will be used to provide raw materials for the supply station, create clones, and produce combat vehicles.
As for why crystals and gas have so many functions...... Gotta ask "Pioneer Ute".
In addition to high-energy crystals and gas, there are also some strange resources that can be found on the planets of the entire star sector, such as colored particles that look like gems but always explode for unknown reasons, powders that burn at low temperatures but are incomparably strong at high temperatures and have a strange aroma, and strange metals that are liquid at room temperature but have memories and almost infinite remodeling, and so on.
The pioneer Ute did not develop them at all, and the short history of human research was not enough to study their use, so they had to be put on hold.
"I'm going to live in the command center too!" Renault's side Tykes restarted for the third time.
"According to the regulations, all natural persons at the forward base are to remain in the command center unless they enter combat status or specifically apply for it, and of course you do the same." Renault replied without looking back.
"......" had just "specifically applied" to live in the barracks, and Tykes, who was silent three times.
Well, defensive buildings...... After roughly planning the prototype of the new base, Renault began to consider the layout of the defensive line.
Mimatar didn't think much about building this makeshift supply base at all, there were alternative routes of attack on all sides, and if their commander had really chosen to hold his position yesterday, he would probably have been bombarded with siege tanks that were advancing on him.
Renault had to admit that the main anti-aircraft defense line consisting of anti-aircraft rocket towers, Goliath robots, and bunkers was the best choice, and the occasional fish that slipped through the net were dealt with by vulture cars and spider mines.
If you look at it this way, there is no problem with the defense idea and specific design, but there is a mistake in the specific implementation - the speed at which the defense line is completed is so slow that Renault led the people to kill, if they are a little slower, they will face the spider thunder array arranged by the vulture cars, no matter how brave Tykes is, it will be directly evaporated by the large equivalent, and the doctor can't save it.
Unfortunately, there are no Goliath robots in the equipment sequence of the "Heavenly Demon", and the Howe Fortress is temporarily unable to support itself, and this barren forward base does not have more resources to produce Ghost fighters, so it can only be made up with anti-aircraft towers and bunkers.
In the case of air defense towers, they are basically anti-aircraft missile launchers that cannot be ground-to-ground, and the specific scale varies, with six consecutive rounds and nine consecutive shots, and the twenty-five consecutive rounds placed on the roofs of residential houses like the Howe Fortress can already be called an organ.
As for the bunker, when it was attacked, everyone blew up more than one, basically a pit and an iron turtle shell, which itself has no attack ability, and its combat effectiveness is proportional to the number of marines hiding in it, and after the defensive structure of the bunker itself is exploded, the soldiers inside can still use their lives to hard-top for a while, which is better than nothing.
If there were enough Medics, with Renault's ability to pull at the limit, the effective combat effectiveness of each clone soldier could be multiplied several times, but the kind of troops that had to be held by natural people made his idea basically impossible to realize.
Then again, Lieutenant Colonel Havel shouldn't be able to treat this base as an outcast, right? You must know that apart from his direct guards, there is no special combat team that can fight better than the "Heavenly Demon".
Renault pondered, checking the attack range of the bunker and the air defense tower while choosing a construction location for them, presumably the pilot of the ten SCVs had already cursed because there were too many stacked construction sequences.
