Chapter 204: Floating Base
Base 2 already had as many as 100 fourth-order manufacturing machines, but when Chu Jungui attacked the Pirate Flag base, the remaining personnel of the base doubled the number of manufacturing machines. The massive increase in production capacity, as well as the same increased material refining and supply capacity, has significantly shortened the construction process of the floating base.
The test subject made full use of its own computing power to break down the design of the floating base into more than 10,000 sub-tasks, and then divided them into specific heads. Within minutes, everyone knew what they were going to do in the next ten days.
In fact, the design of the floating base has been extremely simplified, most of them are standard components, but also standard splicing structure, and the position of the propulsion engine is reserved, if necessary, the main engine on the transport ship can be directly removed and installed. What is really complex and technical is the large number of weapon stations, as well as the control parts of the weapon stations.
The anti-gravity engine of the floating base generates a lot of heat, and Chu Jungui specially designed a heat collection system to use the excess heat to heat the raw materials used in the power furnace.
If thousands of people work at the same time, a huge square box gradually takes shape.
The first floating base has not yet been built, and Chu Jungui plans to manufacture the second one. This is where the benefits of the cuboid shape come into play, and the two bases can be easily put together to become a larger base. In the future, if there are more cuboids, you can continue to fight up.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the floating base was officially completed. This base can fly at a low altitude of 500 meters, and theoretically can also fly out of Planet 4. But that's only in theory, and without effective protection, as soon as the floating base gets close to the storm clouds, it will be burned into scrap metal by electric fire.
Chu Jungui was quietly engaged in construction here, but the lancers were miserable. In just half a month, the Doomsday Shadow Fortress has experienced five or six beast tides. And the offensive is getting more and more fierce every time.
Now that the Shadow of Doom Fortress has been turned into a combined base for the Lancers and Pirate Banners, it can only be replenished at the rate of several transport ships per day, which is only enough to increase the total size of the fortress by one level.
After another 2 days of testing, the floating base was finally put into service.
The current floating base is a 200-meter-long, 50-meter-wide behemoth, painted with a very modern technology paint on the outside, and driven by hundreds of giant wheels with a diameter of 10 meters below. A main engine removed from the transport ship was also installed at the rear of the base. Normally the main engine is not turned on, but it is activated when acceleration is required.
The floating base may seem huge, but because of the anti-gravity engine, it is actually quite light and can travel at speeds of more than 50 kilometers when the terrain is suitable. It can also take to the skies at critical moments, turn on the main engine, and escape at speeds of over 300 kilometers per hour.
As soon as the test was passed, Chu Jungui did not delay any longer, took the floating base, and went straight to the Doomsday Shadow Fortress.
Except for the hundreds of soldiers and a dozen chariots carried on the base, Chu Jungui did not bring other ground troops, so as not to be detected by the Doomsday Shadow Fortress.
In the Doomsday Shadow Fortress, an intelligence officer looked at the large screen of the Cambrian mastermind, and suddenly sat up straight, staring at a somewhat blurry spot of light.
Cambrian automatically gives the analysis data of the light spot, and there is a high probability that it is a group of giant rhinoceros, and the number is about a hundred.
The intelligence officer seemed to be much more relaxed. Giant rhinoceros is very difficult to entangle, but it is not very threatening when it is alone in a group, but more like a moving meat target, which is quite popular with the warriors of the fortress guards. He looked around the spot, and there was no sign of the other beasts, so he didn't pay attention to it.
However, out of an abundance of caution, he took great care to record the information and include the expected time of arrival at the fortress. After completing the report, he sent the hostile information to his boss's personal terminal. After the report was sent, he looked at the spot again, feeling a little strange, so he zoomed in and looked again, and found that the spot was actually roughly square and approaching at a fairly uniform speed.
"The big guys are lining up too?" the officer joked, and then his eyes were drawn to a larger spot of light on the other end.
After a pause, the officer stood up: "Damn it! again!"
In the upper office, a colonel received several reports of the enemy situation. He glanced at the report of the giant rhinoceros herd, and felt a little strange, but there was a more urgent enemy situation later, which did not allow him to think too much, so he hurriedly ordered a few spear-to-ground missiles, locked on the target and launched, and put the matter aside to deal with the upcoming beast tide attack.
A moment later, Chu Jungui, who was standing on the floating base, watched as several missiles slowly flew overhead and flew into the distance.
The images captured by the eyes were instantly matched in Chu Jungui's database.
"Spear?" Chu Jungui had a brief doubt, and then understood.
The Lance Missile is a weapon of the Federation dedicated to suppressing backward planets, targeting large creatures. To put it bluntly, it's a weapon that kills large creatures. Functionally speaking, it is the same type of weapon as the barrel designed by Chu Jungui.
Seeing these spear missiles, Chu Jungui knew that he had been discovered by the Doomsday Shadow Fortress, so he recruited the missiles. It's just that the spear missile searches for biological targets, and turns a blind eye to non-biological targets such as floating bases.
Chu Jungui knew that it seemed that he was treated as a herd of beasts.
At this moment, a messenger flew by from afar, and suddenly turned towards the floating base. In an empty space in the base, wisps of black gas oozed out, and several eyes appeared, staring at the messenger.
The messenger flew to the floating base and landed in front of Kaitian, communicating with him.
Moments later, the messenger soared into the air again, and Kaitian projected two images. One is a large herd of war beasts galloping wildly, and in front of them is the Doomsday Shadow Fortress. The other image is a map, which shows the location of the Beast Tide and the current location of the floating base.
"There is another beast tide......" Chu Jungui stroked his chin and began to ponder.
The Beast Tide seems to have a particular preference for the Shadow of Doom Keep.
In any case, it is naturally a good thing that there is a tide of beasts now. Chu Jungui re-planned the route, increased his speed, and moved forward in an irregular curve.
Half a day later, the running beasts could already be seen in front of the floating base, and the beast tide was hitting the Doomsday Shadow Fortress in waves, but judging from the beast corpses everywhere, the offensive was already the end of the crossbow. The beasts in the rear saw the floating base and immediately split up and pounced, but the messengers in the air swooped down, screamed sharply, and drove the herd back.
In this way, the floating base followed the beast tide and rushed to the Doomsday Shadow Fortress.
It has been a long time since he has experienced the impact of the beast tide, and this time Chu Jungui found that the offensive of the beast tide has changed again.
Waves of black dots in the sky kept flying, bombarding the Shadow Fortress of Doom continuously. In the period of time that Chu Jungui observed, at least 5 waves of biological missile attacks were seen.
