957 Self-reliance

After getting rid of Ye Han, Qiao Wei found Bian Ge non-stop.

The reason why I didn't look for them together was because I was afraid that these two people would help each other, and when the time came, it would be difficult to defeat the four hands with two fists, and it would definitely be much easier to deal with them one by one.

Don't look at Qiao Wei's straightforward appearance on the surface, in fact, he has a lot of eyes! To put it mildly, if you can climb to the level of major general, you won't give anything in vain.

However, Bian Ge's reaction was much more intense than Ye Han's, and he almost didn't lift the table with Qiao Wei.

The reason is very simple, the current basic organization of the airborne division is a nine-person infantry squad, and it takes 245 people to fill a battalion, and there are only 3400 people who have completed the chip implantation at present.

It's not that Bian Ge is engaged in mountaineering, but these people have also fought with him for at least a few years, and everyone's characteristics are very familiar, and they are easy to use on the battlefield.

Change a few who don't know the roots, do he dare to use them casually?

Qiao Wei also understood Bian Ge's concerns, directly copied the previous conditions, and solemnly promised that the fleet would definitely transfer people back before departure, and finally persuaded Bian Ge.

In the following days, frequent personnel adjustments began within the airborne division, and the gap in the training battalion was finally filled before the deadline.

On the morning of October 1, 2029, all the commanders and fighters of the training battalion took off in a spaceship, docked with Tiangong, and then transferred to Express 4, which temporarily docked at Tiangong, and officially flew to Callisto.

This day happened to be the 80th anniversary of the National Day, but the years of war had tormented the whole country to exhaustion, and the northern capital did not even hold a military parade, only a small celebration ceremony.

It is said that some people in the Northern Capital suggested that it should be held on the day of the National Day, and even if the traditional military parade ceremony was not held, at least the Beiyuezhou Fleet should be displayed to boost the morale of the military and the people, and this proposal has also won the support of many people.

But Zhong Nanhai finally rejected the proposal, and legend has it that Brother Yi's original words were that it was more exciting to fight a hearty victory than to waste manpower and material resources on useless ceremonies.

Well...... With the current situation, no one knows whether engaging in those vain things can inspire people, and they will definitely not run away after being scolded by the people.

The airborne division was very calm in the next period of time, Qiao Wei was very calm, Ye Han and Bian Ge were also very self-disciplined, the implantation of the chip was orderly, and the training level was rising steadily.

Despite the hard training every day, all the Airborne Forces are veterans of the battlefield, and their common feeling is to enjoy the time when they don't have to fight to the death and fight the enemy.

But Ye Han never forgot to care about the situation in the outside world.

On October 6, all the small warships belonging to Beiyuezhou left the port and sailed for the earth's low-altitude orbit, and circled the earth again and again, showing no sign of withdrawal for several days.

The military did not deliberately keep this matter secret, but it also did not intend to publicize it, and through the analysis of various signs, the mission of this batch of spacecraft is likely to be to clean up space junk and prepare for the placement of orbital elevators.

On October 16th, Express 4 arrived at Europa, and the training battalion was stationed at the forward base, which had been understaffed and was full.

There are three missions in the teaching camp, one is to teach alien firearms, the second is to teach various coordination tactics, and the third and most important task is to teach aliens to use tactical sign language!

Whether it is an impossible task for aliens to learn human language on a large scale, or for humans to learn alien languages on a large scale, sign language can effectively avoid this problem and can be called the best means of communication between two civilizations.

Secretly, the camp also has a secret mission, which is to protect the bullet production line that arrives on Europa...... Well, it's actually protecting the specialty metals that come out of the center of the earth.

After these special metals are transported to the forward base, they must be preliminarily processed, and then sent to the sky train without telling the aliens, and the ants are sent out little by little.

That bullet production line has never been touched, and all the bullets that leave the factory are shipped from Earth.

Due to limited capacity, the number of bullets arriving at Europa has been struggling, and in an attempt to disguise the problem, the Forward Base has claimed that Callisto lacks several essential raw materials, and that production lines will have to be limited until the Resistance can find these or other alternatives.

The resistance group coped with it in a very strange way, and after asking what was missing, they went back and studied several kinds of bugs, one of which secreted mucus could be turned into a very good primer after a simple drying process; Another type of bug excrement can be used as an alternative to propellants.

This is nothing, and later even the warhead shell can be produced with insects, all of which are made of the same material as the insect shell, and the hardness and strength are fully qualified, but the warhead shell has relatively high requirements for the appearance, and the insect product cannot reach such a high precision, and it must be re-polished on the production line before it can be used.

The Resistance made several improvements, but failed to produce the right bugs, and finally had to abandon the idea.

Out of curiosity, and to learn more about the Resistance's level of production, the Forward Base assembled a batch of bullets from these substitutes, with only the metal used in the primer being human products, and the rest of the parts coming from bugs.

Experiments have found that this batch of bullets is slightly less powerful, but there is absolutely no problem in penetrating the carapace of aliens or giant insects, and it can be used in actual combat.

The self-reliance of the Resistance was shocked, and anyone who knew about it had a little palpitation.

Bullets are an important means used by the Northern Capital to control the Resistance, what would happen if these aliens made their own bullets?

Beidu had to change its previous policy and double the total amount of ammunition provided to the resistance, finally meeting the training needs of the aliens.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and at the end of November, the cable of the Earth orbit elevator was finally completed in Beiyuezhou, which is more than 38,000 kilometers long, much thicker and heavier than the cable of Europa.

Assembly of the cable began as soon as it was completed, and it was sent to Earth by tugboat later in the day.

On December 2nd, the installation project of the rail elevator was officially launched, and after more than seven hours of intense construction, the ground station of the rail elevator was settled on the ladder island, and the earth finally had the first rail elevator.

When the news came out, not only was there a jubilation at home, but also all kinds of celebrations abroad.

No way, for a long time, the high cost of space has always been a fundamental problem restricting human spaceflight, and the orbital elevator means efficient, fast and cheap, for any country interested in joining the space club, the fall of the orbital elevator is good news worth celebrating.
