Chapter Seventy-Five: The Circle of Defense Around the Moon
Since reinstating the title of boss of the combat department, Xiao Guanhai's neat eunuch himself is still serializing online novels, devoting himself to it, and began to plan his army ambitiously.
The combat department gathered Shen Yue, Ning Yan'er and other employees from the time of the combat team, plus 8 outstanding people selected from several major departments in the future.
It should not be forgotten that the additional 50 temporary workers recruited from among the immigrants brought the number of employees in the combat department to 70 people.
Looking at the 70 people standing in front of him, Xiao Guanhai felt extremely happy in his heart, he finally had an army, and when the time came, whether it was a blow to the lunar base or a mess like an alien invasion, it was the time for them to show their skills.
Since it is a formal department, daily training is naturally necessary, fortunately, the employees who joined have already prepared, coupled with the "magic weapon" promised by Mr. Consultant, they can't help but reverie, their eyes are hot, and they choose to grit their teeth and persevere.
With the existence of such a retired officer as Shen Yue, the training is far better than before in terms of professionalism and strictness, after all, no one expects that his combat effectiveness is even inferior to that of the employees of the exploration department.
After the training, it was work, which was divided into two defense groups and special service groups, but because the related work had just started, the work of the employees was not divided according to the division, but was organized, and the escort team composed of dozens of mining vehicles and several employees of the support department such as Renault participated in the production and construction.
"This is the first test that our combat department has faced since its establishment -- building a defense circle around the moon!" Xiao Guanhai said loudly, broadcasting to the ears of the people around him through the network that came with the command car.
"The circumlunar defense ring is the core of the moon base and the lunar city, which consists of 28 unmanned posts, each of which is equipped with four beam weapons with an effective killing range of 500 kilometers and two surface-to-air missile silos, allowing the launch of surface-to-air missiles with a range of 200,000 kilometers."
Beam weapons, the combat efficiency in the universe is very high, it consumes energy, but on the moon, energy is not a problem at all, and the biggest problem of beam weapons is scattering and strength, now the unmanned post is equipped with beam weapons, is Cao Chuan after 1 day of regular simulation, effective killing range, the temperature per unit area exceeds 100,000 degrees Celsius, can effectively penetrate some weakly protected spacecraft, missile surface, thereby causing damage.
However, once the beam weapon exceeds the effective killing range, due to the scattering problem, the high-energy beam of the original pencil thickness will expand to the playground area, and there will be no longer any threat, and then it will be the turn of the missile to maintain the safety of the 500 km to 200,000 km range of the planet.
The principle of the missile is similar to the rocket, which is the field that the East Galaxy Company is good at, as for the range of 200,000 kilometers has far exceeded the intercontinental missiles on the earth, to say that the only regret is that it cannot hit the earth, but for this reason, a lot of heat-resistant materials are saved, so that the cost can be reduced by more than 30%, which is still acceptable.
"Basically, through this kind of cooperation, even if there are multiple unidentified spacecraft that want to get close to the front of the moon, we have a way to make them come and go!" Xiao Guanhai said confidently, he unfolded a map of the moon, "Look, the 9 unmanned watchtowers around the moon city are here!" This will fully protect what is most important to us. ”
"These 19 are distributed within 1,000 kilometers centered on the lunar city, which can be regarded as our frontier, and also basically cover the front side of the moon, as for the far side of the moon, unless there is a way to bypass our satellite surveillance, anyway, our missiles can turn around, as long as there is an enemy's position, they can hit it."
The meaning of Xiao Guanhai's words seems to be that the entire 5 million square kilometers of land is the territory of the East Galaxy Company, and anyone else who does not announce it is equivalent to provoking them.
It is precisely because of such a radical combat department boss that Xiao Guanhai, a non-military personnel who seems to be unreliable, was selected to lead the department.
After Xiao Guanhai finished speaking, they arrived at a mountain 50 kilometers south of the lunar city, and carefully selected such a complex terrain as the location of the unmanned outpost, which would greatly reduce the possibility of being discovered and attacked.
"Mr. Renault, I'm going to trouble you about the construction!" Xiao Guanhai turned his head and explained to Renault, who was about to go out to command the work, so that even Renault, who claimed to be a nobleman, was very useful.
"Don't worry, Minister Xiao, when something happens, I will be responsible."
The mining vehicle excavates the underground space up to a depth of several tens of meters, and the transporter unloads the beam weapon launcher and missile launcher department, and then hands it over to the robot and other personnel to carry out the construction.
On the other hand, it is connected to an independent power grid supported by a fusion power station by burying wires to obtain the power required by the beam weapon, ensuring that the terrible energy consumption of the beam weapon will not affect the normal power supply at a critical moment.
The first unmanned outpost took 3 days, and then they hurriedly went to the next one, due to the large amount of work, several outposts were directly transformed from the temporary bases left by the exploration department, which can be regarded as saving a lot of time.
In fact, the main reason is that except for the lunar city, the transportation network and communication network of the entire moon are not developed enough, and half of the time is spent on the laying of roads and wires, so that Renault gave more than 3 months to complete the construction of 28 outposts.
Coming to the Hercules area, 1,100 kilometers northernmost of the lunar city, Xiao Guanhai overlooked the endless craters near the back of the moon in the distance, and the 70 employees who were trained behind him showed tired looks on their faces.
"What's wrong? We've only been away from Moon City for 10 days, and we'll have so many opportunities to stay away from the world in the future, and we'll even have to spend a few months alone on a spaceship, so we can't hold on now? ”
"I'm disappointed that the Discovery staff hasn't been out there for 30 days without complaining, and at least you have a smooth internet connection to communicate with other people."
"You can't even compare to me, I remember that some of you were once veterans?"
Listening to Xiao Guanhai's reprimand, the negative emotions of the employees were somehow suppressed, or rather, they really felt ashamed and didn't dare to refute it.
Hearing the effect of his reprimand, Xiao Guanhai was not a robot, his expression became softened, and he said another thing: "The combat department, the core of the work is to defend the East Galaxy Company, but now there is no regulation on where the territory of the East Galaxy Company is, we need a line to divide it." ”
Looking ahead, "This is exactly 10 kilometers away from the outpost, let's use this mountain peak as a boundary marker, as the dividing line of the control area of the East Galaxy Company, what do you say is good to write?" ”
"Those who offend me in the East Galaxy, although they are far away, will be punished?"
"The moon has been the sacred and inalienable territory of the Eastern Galaxy Corporation since ancient times?"
Xiao Guanhai, an online writer, has read a lot, and he has a lot of classic words at his fingertips, but unfortunately he is not very satisfied, and shook his head: "In this case, let's write East Galaxy 000 as a mark." From here, almost one-sixth of the moon is included, and there are enough resources in it for us to mine for many years. ”
Xiao Guanhai thought that he had always thought that the East Galaxy Company had not clearly stated its scope of control, which would make many people feel lucky, thinking that the East Galaxy Company did not want these places, but tried to occupy the magpie's nest, and now, let himself, the Minister of Operations, make up for this problem.
The actual boundary monument is a few lines of words, no paint, no fluorescence, basically no one will see it, on the digital map, but the mark is clear, through a coordinate to depict, and then rely on satellites to do surveillance, if there is any unknown unit intruding into the defense circle, will immediately raise the alert level, upload to him.
"In addition..."Xiao Guanhai smiled slightly: "Mr. Consultant informed us that the cooperation with the Atlas Company has been reached, and we will soon have more powerful equipment to wear, so let's return quickly." ”
