The project on the far side of the moon is being carried out in an orderly manner, the third batch of materials has been prepared, the quality of the materials up to 1,000 tons are engineering equipment and factory engineering materials, the fourth batch of materials is to transport a batch of lunar engineering vehicles, the fifth batch of materials is life supplies, the sixth batch of materials chemical equipment and refining equipment.

After the sixth batch of supplies is sent to the far side of the moon, Gu Cheng will have a small manufacturing plant, and by then, there will be about 300 people on the moon.

After the delivery of the seventh to eleventh batches of materials is completed, the collection of ice materials from the Shackleton crater will also enter the sequence, and a steady stream of ice materials will be transported to the main base of the Mendeleev impact crater.

At that time, the moon factory that is beginning to take shape will begin to operate, and once it is started, the production efficiency will increase exponentially, and it will not be as slow as it is now, and the delivery of materials will continue to decrease, and the ore vein resources existing on the moon will become the main consumables.

However, before that, the factory will not take the lead in building an engineering robot production line, but to help Lao Mei extract 10 tons of helium three substances, after all, there is a delivery deadline, the middle of the transportation process, and another time to help the third brother complete the dream of landing on the moon, take the money and do things, Gu Cheng is still very honest, as long as the three of them shout to go to Hengyin District, everything is easy to say.

All this is progressing steadily according to the established plan, and there will be a big explosion at the end of next year.

……

In a flash, the time has come to 2022.

Gu Cheng's focus of work is separated from the "Star Project", this long space engineering program is not achieved overnight, and now he has received a procurement order from the military, which is the first and foremost priority.

On January 7, 2022, a military base.

Gu Cheng left Shangdu the morning before yesterday, and took a plane from the air base on Chongming Island to a military base in the mainland, he didn't know how far he flew, but after getting off the plane, he saw that the surrounding area was hilly, probably guessing that it was the southern area.

"Finally invited our national treasure-level genius, Mr. Gu, do you want to take a break from the long journey?" He was received by the supreme commander of the base, Colonel Yue Bowen.

"That's what you said, it's tiring to take a plane?" Gu Cheng said with a smile.

"Haha, okay, then I'll invite you to the staff headquarters together, and we're discussing." Yue Bowen said with a smile.

A few minutes later, Gu Cheng was invited to the inside of the base, and several other officers and staff officers were sitting together, getting to know each other, and after a brief greeting, they got to the point.

"Thanks to Mr. Gu's leading technology, China has mastered the world's leading space technology, and the military is considering the establishment of a planetary orbital airborne assault force in space, the purpose of which is to immediately intervene in the event of a hot spot at any coordinate point on the surface, and the planetary orbital airborne force can be dispatched to quickly counterattack." Yue Bowen opened the conversation box and began to speak freely.

In the end, the colonel's gaze fell on Gu Cheng, who was sitting in the command headquarters, and said: "The cost of building such a force is not cheap at all, and it requires a huge amount of money, but this is much more economical than the more than 400 base groups and aircraft carrier formations in the United States around the world, and the speed and efficiency of intervention are faster." ”

A staff officer at the meeting nodded and said: "Yes, when our army has the rapid response to planetary orbital airborne assault, it can greatly make up for the serious shortage of our overseas military bases, and there is no need to go overseas to establish military bases. ”

The unit price of a Tianjian fighter or military-grade Tianjian transport aircraft reaches two or three hundred billion, which is so expensive that people want to scold their mother, but with a little comparison, you can have the same ability as Lao Mei for spending this money, which is quite affordable and economical.

If the US imperialists want to maintain the deployment of hundreds of bases and aircraft carrier formations around the world, they will have to eat up $700 billion in military spending every year, and this is still on the premise that the younger brother will share a large amount of military spending, otherwise the military spending of the United States will exceed one trillion dollars, otherwise it will absolutely not be able to maintain the normal operation of global military deployment.

While the U.S. imperialists have built hundreds of bases around the world, giving him a powerful ability to quickly intervene in hot spots, it is not without a price, and the price is quite heavy.

The first is the heavy economic burden, and the second is that the battle is spread out too much, which also means that the defense area is also large, and once the iron plate is kicked, it is easy to ignore the tail.

After a while, after everyone stopped, Gu Cheng spoke, he said: "The military has already said that it wants to engage in this orbital airborne force when it gave me the purchase order, and frankly speaking, the weak link of this low-earth orbit airborne assault is too obvious, and it is easy to be attacked by base weapons, such as high-energy laser weapons deployed on the ground, directed energy weapons, and even conventional air defense missile interception." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other and laugh when they heard this, Yue Bowen said with a smile: "What Mr. Gu said is not bad, but the military has long thought of these problems, there are no absolutely perfect weapons and tactics in the world, and the weak link of the planetary low-earth orbit airborne assault is obvious, as you said, but the military still insists on doing it, because it can have an absolute advantage in an asymmetric war." ”

Speaking of this, Yue Bowen looked at Gu Cheng again and added: "There is only one situation that can cause as dangerous to the orbital airborne assault force as you said, and that is when it is delivered to the mainland of North America, as for other countries, it basically does not have this interception capability, and once it reaches that point, it is basically a full-scale war." ”

"Whether it is the current orbital airborne or the traditional airborne operation, for the paratroopers are to go deep behind the enemy, into the Longtan tiger's den, and carry out the most dangerous, crazy, and even suicidal mission.

After Yue Bowen finished speaking, another staff officer immediately spoke: "The military has also done some extreme simulation exercises, not to mention the intervention of asymmetrical hot spots, even if the enemy's strength is on par with our army, this deployment method is extremely fast, and the air-space transport aircraft responsible for the deployment task can quickly sweep over the air defense network on the surface of the earth in outer space orbit, and drop the airdrop capsule vehicle in low-earth orbit and drive away directly. ”

"After the drop capsule entered the upper atmosphere, the paratroopers ejected directly and continued to parado. Compared with the traditional airdrop being concentrated by enemy anti-aircraft fire, that is, losing an entire transport plane and the whole cabin of soldiers, this deployment method is only one person even if the orbital airborne is hit. It greatly increases the cost of the enemy's strike, and also greatly improves the survival probability and assault ability of our soldiers. ”

Gu Cheng couldn't help but sigh again and again in his heart, it really came to this situation, it was almost a bloody battle of life and death, an orbital airborne projection of a division's troops, tens of thousands of people were distributed on spatial coordinates, and rabbits were really capable of doing this kind of thing.

No matter how powerful the air defense network is, this has already broken through the critical value of air defense firepower, if you use air defense missiles, even if you hit 100 percent, then you have to launch more than 10,000 of them, no country in the world has the ability to have tens of thousands of air defense missiles on stand, what if there are three divisions of the airborne company in a row? It's impossible to stop it.

However, this situation is more extreme assumptions, and the possibility of a third world war is much less likely now, especially when the Age of Exploration is opened, there are many territories outside the earth, and there are so many resources that unless even the resources in the solar system are occupied, then it is possible to fight.

But for the military, it doesn't matter when the fight will start, only thinking about what can be fought and how to fight when it really starts.

"What about the airborne capsule? Who will provide it? At present, Tianqing Technology Group has not started to develop the technology of orbital airborne capsule. Gu Cheng suddenly asked.

"You don't have to worry about this, the National Academy of Space Technology will provide technical support for the airborne cabin, and the Aerospace Science and Technology Group will undertake the manufacturing task." Yue Bowen immediately replied to him.

Gu Cheng nodded abruptly when he heard this, the Space Technology Research Institute provides airborne module technology, so it is based on the upgraded version of the technology of the Shenzhou series orbital module.
