Chapter 556: Digging deep holes, hoarding grain, and storing more water
After the appointment of the three commanders-in-chief, the construction plan of the alien defense corps was quickly implemented.
It is mainly divided into two parts, one is to build a space fleet belonging to the Carter civilization, and the other is the ground defense force on Sori.
The construction of the space fleet is in charge of Myron of the Odo Empire, and the construction of the ground defense force is entrusted to the second commander-in-chief, Stephen, and the two most outstanding military experts of the Carter civilization will make the greatest efforts to fight against the attacking amoeba civilization.
The plan of the alien defense corps was made public, and at the same time, the news of the invasion of the amoeba civilization was also made public, and all the Carters at the bottom of the civilization panicked, the stock market plummeted, the currency depreciated, prices rose, and the crime rate, suicide rate soared, etc., fortunately, the countries that learned in advance that the invasion of the amoeba civilization had already prepared, and the chaos was calmed down in just one year.
If they can, countries don't want to announce the amoeba crisis, which will cause social panic, and in serious cases, it may be that the amoeba has not yet hit, and the Carter civilization will finish playing first.
But there is no way, only civilization can fight against civilization, and the Carter civilization must unite all its forces, so as to fight against the attacking amoeba civilization, and only by letting all the Carters know about this crisis can they fully unite their forces.
The power of the Carter civilization as a whole was mobilized as expected, and one rocket after another rose into the air, each rocket was equipped with an industrial machine tool, ranging from rough machining to finishing, and a total of more than 3,000 such rockets arrived in the orbit of Sori and assembled and connected to each other.
The first real spaceship in the history of the Carters was born - it is a spaceship, but it is not wrong to call it a space station, that is, a large space station with multiple chemical thrusters, and there is no gas resistance in space, and there is no need to consider aerodynamics.
Structurally, it looks like a bunch of sticks tied together, giving the impression of 'not knowing when it's going to fall apart', like a raft tied with a few planks, and a small wave in the ocean can break it up and destroy the ship.
Obviously, this structure is not suitable for warfare, and it is very reluctant to use it for space navigation, and the purpose of the Carter to build this spaceship is not to be a combat ship on the space battlefield, so there is no need to have strong enough structural resistance, let alone a special design for the space battlefield environment.
After launching rockets at any cost and delivering enough solid hydroxide fuel agents, the spacecraft, named Hope, loaded with fifty Carters, headed for the asteroid belt near the orbit of Sori.
The construction of the ground defense forces is not small, under the command and planning of Stephen, even more than the assembly of the first spaceship.
Considering the orbital bombardment that is very likely to occur in the future space war, the construction of the dungeon is necessary, and the thick stratum will be a natural defensive barrier, and the Carters on the planet can hide in these underground bunkers when the amoeba attacks.
Then, based on this direction of war construction, Stephen clearly gave two instructions: 'dig deep holes', 'hoard grain', and 'store more water', digging holes is the premise of building underground cities, and digging holes as deep and large as possible.
Deep enough means the ground is thicker, and big enough means the dungeon can hide more Carters.
In order to speed up the construction, Stephen obtained a large number of high-explosive explosives from other powers for the blasting of the formation, which was a huge global project, and the sound of blasting could be faintly heard from afar in Sori, and hundreds of millions of workers participated.
Stephen hired these workers without giving money, and in today's Carter society, even the most credible money has gradually declining purchasing power, so Stephen uses the dungeon's residence quota as a reward, as long as he participates in the construction of the dungeon, he will inevitably have a place in the dungeon that belongs to the workers themselves and their families.
This also makes all the workers devote all their strength to the construction project, and no one tries to be lazy, because they understand very well that the construction of the dungeon is related to their future lives and the lives of their families, if the dungeon construction is not good, it means that the security will be reduced, and even if they get a place to live in the dungeon, it will not help.
For a time, workers who could once be equated with 'uneducated' became the hottest occupation in Carter civilization, and a large number of Carters changed careers from other industries to become workers and devote themselves to construction projects.
The construction of the dungeon was going on day and night, and the plan to hoard food was not left behind, people had to eat, and if they didn't eat, they would die, and when the Carters were all hiding underground, the huge population needed a large amount of food reserves to sustain themselves.
In the face of the upcoming amoeba crisis, the Carters went completely crazy, thinking about nature reserves, forestry planting bases, national first-class protected forests, etc., all the places that can be cultivated have been changed into cultivated land, raging like locusts.
No one mentions the protection of the natural environment, and it is true that there are members of environmental protection organizations who care for the environment among the Carters, but the premise of their love for the environment is that their lives are not in danger, and people are always selfish, which is an instinct engraved in their genes, and in order to survive, people can do anything.
Many of the city's suburbs have been converted into farmland, many houses have been torn down, concrete floors have been demolished to reveal the land below and converted to cultivated land, and large areas of Sori's surface can be seen in space dyed with the color of crops.
There are many tall buildings erected along the coastline, and at the very top of these tall buildings, there is a large condenser illuminating the sink at the bottom of the building.
This is the use of solar energy to convert seawater into fresh water, in order to solve the domestic water needs of the Carters in the future when they hide underground, and in a few decades, these towers will be enough to produce a huge ton of fresh water.
Of course, the ground defense is not only these, there are also some projects to attack the enemy in outer space, one by one deep pits have been dug, but there are no deep holes in the construction of dungeons, these deep pits are evenly distributed in all corners of the planet, they are 'cannon barrels', by using nuclear weapons as refills, a large number of live ammunition is thrown out of the Sori.
In addition to this, there is the military training of a large number of mechanized units for ground combat against the amoebic invaders in the near future.
