Chapter 123: The Troubles of Happiness
Everyone was looking at Chu Jungui, waiting for the following. Changing strategy is not a trivial matter, but can make the difference between life and death for the entire base. The fact that Base No. 2 has survived until now can be said to be basically based on Chu Jungui's miraculous achievements.
Chu Jungui said: "The beast tide has developed a means of long-range attack, we need to go forward to defend, and find a way to improve the early warning time." In this case, we need longer patrol routes and more individual firepower. I have recently developed a set of functional components that can be loaded and used on personal terminals. It is capable of controlling four remote-controlled gun towers at the same time, and the accuracy is only slightly worse than that of all-human control. Enough for slow-flying missiles. Just if you want to use this component, you must open the lowest level of permissions of your personal terminal. ”
Hathaway and Middleton looked at each other, and Hathaway nodded slowly.
Middleton said, "Miss can't give you permissions, but other than that, including myself, I can give you low-level permissions." ”
Opening up the underlying authority is equivalent to handing over the power of life and death to others. Chu Jungui can turn off the life support system of the battle armor at any time and kill anyone who wants to rebel as long as he wants.
"Okay, then I'll pass the component to you right now and do the loading. In addition to that, I have a copy of the design here, which should be useful. ”
The long night is finally over, dawn is coming, and it is getting brighter and brighter, and the temperature is slowly rising.
Two light vehicles, one in front of the other, were crawling up the hillside.
The car at the head did not drive fast and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain. It was a light off-road vehicle with armor plates attached to it, and it looked like it could seat up to two people. There are two parallel turrets in the rear of the off-road vehicle, and looking at the long barrels, they should all be anti-aircraft types. The front roof is a small rapid-fire gun turret.
The driver of the SUV who followed behind was not in the cockpit, but sat on the roof of the car, leaning against the small turret next to him.
He said to the communication channel, "Hey, what are you doing hiding in the cab, the signal is not very good, I can't even hear what you're saying." ”
A faint voice rang out over the communication channel, accompanied by a burst of electromagnetic noise, "I want to live two more years! I don't want to be nailed to the roof of the car by the spiny beast." ”
"Haha! That's right, if I hit the head, I'd hide in the cab. ”
"You don't start, but you finish. ”
The driver of the rear car smiled a little stiffer, muttered an expletive, and got off the roof of the car and returned to the cab.
"Hey, Joey, don't you think we should have the boss put a communications antenna on this car? ”
"I'd rather be bored than run into those damn beasts. ”
"I'd like to run into a few of them, shoot them as I retreat, and blow them up one by one! ”
"I hate sports shooting. ”
"Please, you're better than me. ”
"We're at the top of the mountain soon, we just need to stay here for ten minutes, and if it's okay, we can go back. ”
"By the way, I heard that the boss is improving the reconnaissance vehicles, and I hope that the next batch of reconnaissance vehicles can be more powerful. ”
"I'd rather be thicker armored and run faster. ”
While chatting along the way, the two off-road reconnaissance vehicles climbed to the top of the hill one after the other, chose a position to stop, and turned each other into horns. At this point they all stopped talking and watched intently. Whether or not you can detect the enemy early is the key to saving your life.
The summit is about three kilometers from the main base, and it only takes a few minutes to get back at full speed. And as long as you escape within 2,000 meters of the base, you will enter the main fire protection circle, which can be regarded as basically safe.
In the other direction, Chu Jungui and Rose each rode a simple locomotive and drove until they were six or seven kilometers away from the base before stopping.
The place where the two of them stopped was the highest area in this area, where Chu Jungui inserted a metal pole, and then took a suitcase-sized device from Rose's hand and placed it on the top of the pole.
The unit is topped with an omnidirectional motion-capture camera, flanked by three launch tubes, each containing a flare. As soon as the motion capture detects the presence of a live missile, it fires a flare, providing critical warning time. The built-in battery allows the early warning device to run for less than 3 planetary days, which is roughly equivalent to 10 days of the parent star.
If it's on other planets, it's not a problem to keep working for ten years. But on Planet Four, the slightly more delicate components can last more than a week at most. While biochips are not afraid of harsh environments, camera devices do not have this resistance.
Chu Jungui and Rose rode on the locomotive, and then rushed to the next location to continue to install the early warning device. When these simple early warning devices are all in place, they will provide early warning within a literally 10 km range, and at a range of 3 km, mobile patrol units will provide a second layer of early warning, as well as the first line of interception. As long as the first few missiles are knocked out, all the air defense towers in the base will be in position to intercept the biological missile attacks of the beast tide with saturated firepower.
At the same time, in addition to the original satellite base, two new satellite bases have begun to be built, so that in any direction, if the beast tide wants to attack the main base, it needs to first break through the interception of the satellite base.
Among the experts brought by the Pirate Banner this time are construction experts who are proficient in the design of various fortifications, and the new satellite base has been specially strengthened to support the structure and can completely resist the bombardment of biological missiles. The main base has also been strengthened and the support structure has been newly supplemented, at least if it is hit by a missile again, there will be no large-scale collapse.
The materials provided by the herd in the last round were rapidly consumed, and most of them were turned into gun towers and ammunition. Two materials scientists are working around the clock on new building materials, mainly indigenous materials, in order to replace bio-consuming designs.
Of course, the most efficient research is actually agent chips, but the number of chips is limited, and the R&D projects carried out at the same time are limited. As a complement, this group of experts can speed up the research and development process considerably.
However, as a side effect of measures to deal with the existential crisis, the construction of a series of leisure facilities such as bathhouses, lounges and even recreation rooms has been postponed. Almost every expert from the Corsair came up with a request for the construction of a laboratory and gave a drawing of the entire experimental equipment.
Of course, these blueprints cannot be used directly, and must be optimized to become an alien version before they can be used on Planet Four. There are also very few equipment that cannot be optimized, so it is necessary to build a laboratory that can adjust the internal environment, and the workload is even greater.
Looking at hundreds of design drawings, both Lin Xi and Chu Jungui had a kind of happy trouble, and they didn't know where to start for a while.
