Chapter 403: Soldiers Only Believe in Cannons
Finally, when the wind stopped, the project began to operate again, and the swaying steel cable of the crane made it impossible for the gun barrel to be accurately placed in the predetermined position, until the ground crew on the ground spent a lot of effort to finally push the gun barrel into position. The night watching from the sidelines was a struggle for some of the soldiers who were using their bodies to push the barrels of their guns, let alone those who were already soaked with sweat. At this moment, the three mechs easily picked up a cannon barrel and, under the guidance of a ground officer, accurately placed it in the predetermined position. The mecha helps the building, which not only saves time, but also saves a lot of manpower. At this time, in the entire base, three turrets were started at the same time, and the only thing that could not be started at the same time was to install the components inside the turret, which was a technical job that required a large number of personnel.
Seeing that the three Rangers successfully completed the installation of the first cannon barrel, and took over the third cannon barrel from the Ranger who was standing on the side and carrying the other cannon barrel, and began to place it, he couldn't help but have a strange thought: "After the war is over, go back and let Alicia organize a mecha construction team, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money." ”
Night shook his head slightly, just now he couldn't help but think of Alicia, which made Night feel a little sad, silently put his hand into his clothes, and held the ring tightly.
"Sir, aren't you afraid of heat stroke?" Standing in the sunlight at night was suddenly covered by a huge shadow, Richard, who had already finished his work, noticed the night standing motionless under the sun, and immediately used his own mecha to cover the night for the night. The huge mecha slowly crouched down, and Richard's voice came from the megaphone at the head of the mech, attracting everyone's attention.
"Oh. It's okay. Night turned and said as he tilted his neck to the giant mech. In order to see the mecha head. Night felt a little sore on his neck.
"Sir." After seeing Qiao who came to the night gently put the cannon barrel into the designated position, he immediately walked over and said happily: "I have decided, when I retire, I will give up my retirement money, as long as the military department gives me a mecha." In this case, just using the mech to participate in construction work for a few years will be able to support me for the rest of my life. ”
Joe, this guy. Like Night, he saw the huge role of mecha in architecture, and thought of an excellent way to make a living after he retired.
"Good idea, Joe. I'll be your agent, you work, I'll collect the money. Smith also walked over in his mech, laughing and teasing Joe.
"I won't let you touch my money." Joe snorted and retorted.
Ye smiled bitterly and watched the three living treasures laugh at each other, until Richard interrupted the three of them and said, "You are very empty? Why don't you go to the warehouse and move the armor plates? "Richard if he doesn't interrupt the three again. The face of the Duke of Snowy Night's commando is about to be lost.
"Yes, Captain." The three of them immediately drove away in the mech. But Joe still spoke, "Captain, the three of us may not be able to finish moving some armor plates at once." ”
"I'll be right there." Richard replied and said to the night, "Sir, please don't stand in the sun for more than five minutes, it's easy to get heat stroke." ”
The Red Iron Cross Ranger pointed to the ground staff working under the makeshift awning of the canvas and said, "Even in the shadows, our soldiers can't work more than three hours, and those who do heavy physical work must change shifts every hour, so please take care of your body." ”
"Thank you, Richard. As soon as you told me, I felt a burning pain in my back, maybe I had been sunburned. Night scratched his back with his backhand and said with some embarrassment on his face.
"Then please hurry up and go to the infirmary, you have to undergo certain tests." Richard's voice was a little nervous, because the night was the backbone of the entire 209 base. If he fell, the blow to the entire 209 base soldiers would undoubtedly be huge, and Richard did not think that the prestige of his commando team would be able to gain the unreserved support of some pilots and soldiers from Emma's war zone in this base like night.
"Okay." Night turned and walked in the direction of the infirmary, knowing that if he didn't go, Richard would definitely jump off the mech and force himself to go.
However, Richard was even more than Night imagined, this Germanic man was afraid that Night was just perfunctory, and kept driving the mecha to follow Night, until Night entered the infirmary before activating the mech's floating system and rushing to the warehouse. This made the night who had already begun to be examined by the doctor smile bitterly.
"It's not a big deal, just apply some ointment and the pain will go away." The military doctor on duty, after examining it for almost half an hour, came to a conclusion that could be drawn with just a glance. Who made Ye's identity special, which made some of the military doctors nervous.
"Thank you, doctor." Night reached out and took the medicine from the doctor himself, and thanked the doctor, although he was delayed for a long time, Night was still very polite.
"Whew, it's a lot hotter than just now." As soon as I stepped out of the door of the infirmary, I felt a wave of heat rushing in at night, and in just half an hour, the temperature in the desert was a little higher, and it seemed that the military rule in this area that in the army in this area was correct in the non-combat situation, until one o'clock in the afternoon until the sun went down before the sun went down, without the protection of the temperature control equipment.
Returning to the construction site, the Rangers of the Duke of Snowy Night's commando team had begun to help the ground crews with the armor of the turret. At the turret base site on the side, the soldiers had already begun pouring cement into the reinforced frames, which were all available in the warehouse, and the mechs had already moved them into place, but it took longer to reconcile the cement.
With the help of mechs, the modular rapid construction technology really exerts its strength, shorter positioning, and more accurate placement, so that the turret that originally took twelve hours to complete can take shape in three hours. At this point, Richard and the others put the armor plates in place like building blocks, and then the ground crew inside the turret welded the armor firmly to the frame.
"Lieutenant Laffel." Seeing that Lieutenant Raffle was directing the work among the ground crew, he handed him over and asked, "How long will it take to complete this turret at such a rate?" ”
"Sir. At this point in the progress of the project. This turret will take at least five hours. Lieutenant Raffel said after looking down for a moment.
"Why does it take so long?" I heard that it would take another five hours to complete the night. He looked at Ravel in some amazement.
"Sir, there's no way around that, it takes so long for that reinforced concrete base to solidify. At this time, it is not a problem of crane assembly, and the speed of cement solidification has become a bottleneck in our construction. Ravel said with a wry smile, and what was supposed to be no difficult work became a bottleneck, "but fortunately, during this time, my men were able to line up and install the internal parts of the turret." I really didn't expect mecha to have such a big role in construction. If only our Federation engineers had a mecha construction unit composed of mechs specifically designed for architecture. This guy looked yearning, but he didn't know that he had come up with a great idea to change the way the federal base was built.
"It's a good idea to specially design and allocate a mecha unit specializing in architecture to the engineering troops, which can not only avoid the so-called creed of ordinary pilots, but also allow the engineers to build efficiently." Night smiled and patted Ravel's shoulder and complimented.
"Is it really possible, sir?" Raffle excitedly said to the night, anything that would be beneficial to the engineering troops would be able to excite this guy.
"I'll react to the upper echelons, I guess it's very likely to pass, and it doesn't seem difficult to design a building-specific mecha." Night nodded. Apparently he had great confidence in the viability of the idea.
"yes, thank you so much. Sir. The first mecha construction team, I wonder if you can let me take command? I'm really looking forward to it. Ravel exclaimed, ignoring the strange glances of the soldiers around him, and continued to ask the night way.
"That's not something I can decide, hehe." Night touched his nose and said that Night would not make a promise to something that he was not very sure about.
While Night and Ravel were discussing the advantages of the mecha in terms of construction, a communications soldier ran to Night's side out of breath and saluted, "Report to the sir, the telecommunication system is repaired and ready to use." We've established contact with Tris and the surrounding bases. ”
"Telecommunicator fixed? That's great. Ye said with some surprise.
"Sir, this is a repair report." The soldier handed a report to Night. Unfortunately, the night is usually not good for such things, and he prefers to be told by others, although that may cause some mistakes.
After receiving the report, Ye did not read it, and asked the soldier directly: "You can tell me directly why the important telematics device is damaged?" ”
"Report sir, the building where the telecomm was placed was damaged by shrapnel during the previous battle to capture Transit Base 209. At that time, the shrapnel only destroyed a fixture, causing a loosening of the connection of a wire. Since the wires were still connected together, it did not affect the use, so they were not checked out during the inspection, and the device was able to keep in good working condition at night. But this morning, the building seemed to have been hit by some kind of mecha, and although it didn't leave any signs on the outer wall of the building, the vibration broke the connection of the wires, causing the telecombiner to not work. The soldier on duty only said that the mech had hit the building in the morning, but he wouldn't say which numbered mech did it, so we couldn't find out who destroyed the communicator. The soldier finished his sentence in one breath, and it seemed that he was very angry, not knowing whether it was the perpetrator or the logistics personnel who had not detected the damage.
After listening to the soldier's description, Ye smiled wryly and said, "Sergeant, the person who hit the building seems to be me, hehe." "It turned out that in the morning of the night, in order to test the power of the new left arm of the king of the land, he punched a building with armor. Since Night was more excited at that time, Night didn't see what kind of building he was hit, and if Night knew that it was a building that protected long-range communication facilities, he wouldn't have hit it.
"It's you." The sergeant and Raphel on the side shouted in shock, but the sergeant immediately said, "Sir, my anger was directed at the inspectors who were negligent in their inspections, and I did not mean to complain to you. ”
Ye shook his hand and said, "It's okay, Sergeant, it's true that I did something wrong. ”
"Sir, Triss Communications." Another communications officer ran over and reported to the night.
"Don't be so flustered, be more detailed, Sergeant." Night patted the soldier on the shoulder, signaling the young man not to be so alarmed.
The sergeant gasped and said, "Sir, Tris Communications, it's Joga who will personally look for you. ”
"Understood, sergeant, I'll go right away." Hearing that it was Qiao Jia who was going to look for him, Ye immediately turned around and ran to the command room, and it was quite rude to make a senior wait too long.
When he ran into the command room that night, Choga was drinking tea on the big screen, and behind him stood his favorite student, Lieutenant General Guderian. When the three of them saw Ye running into the command room, they couldn't help but show three completely different looks, Joga looked a little happy, while Guderian was a little depressed.
"Heinz, you can't escape the Federal Star this time." When I entered the command room at night, I heard Qiao Jia's headless words, and I couldn't help but look at the three people on the screen with some confusion.
"Teacher, can we wait for the hot sand offensive and defensive battle to be counted together, maybe we will settle it at that time?" Guderian laughed wryly.
"Yes." Qiao Jia boldly agreed, "But you can't invite three meals together." ”
This night, I finally understood what was going on, and the three generals were betting on how he would get into the command room. The depressed night immediately interjected: "Bet on me, collect half of the tax, and whoever invites me, I will participate." ”
"Yes, I don't have a problem." Anyway, it wasn't that he lost, Qiao Jia directly agreed to the night.
"Well, when the time comes, I will pay for the teacher's share." Guderian on the side was not in a hurry, but followed Qiaojia's words and directly slapped the happy little face of the night.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, let's get down to business." Qiao Jia saw that the laughter was almost over, and turned the topic to the main topic, and said: "Night, I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to listen to first?" ”
"Tie Ling, you know my character." Night said with a smile.
"Save the good stuff for last, don't you? Hehe, okay, I'll start with the bad news. Qiao Jia smiled slightly, and then immediately became serious, and said: "The bad news is that the number of gendarmes who came to review is not enough, and it will take at least three months for our whole army to complete the review, that is to say, the hot sand offensive and defensive battle must wait until three months later before it can be carried out." And in about a month, our mecha troops will be able to completely thaw. (To be continued......)
