Chapter 199: Spoils of War
The defense of the second base of the Pirate Flag is not much better than the first base, in Chu Jungui's opinion, because of the accurate coordinate data, it is better to fight. He could have sent the warhead to the firing hole of the rear turret, instead of having to use dozens of shells to bombard the internal mechanical structure of the turret and render it useless, as was the case at the first base.
Jack's persuasion paid off, and the commander of the base surrendered with great joy.
When Chu Jungui asked the reason, he realized that it was still the battle of that day, and the example of Lightner abandoning the warriors in the beast tide played a role. In fact, all the real elite soldiers and strong generals were transferred to the assault troops, and most of the remaining ones were considered to be relatively second-line. Even Croma can be abandoned, and even include dozens of mecha pilots who have always been regarded as the pride of the sky, how can these base guard troops compare to them?
The commander of the second base seemed to have a very clear understanding of his position, and after carefully evaluating the comparison of the two sides, he finally wisely decided to surrender.
This base was intact, so Chu Jungui asked Croma to return to Base No. 1, load all that could be dismantled and moved from Base No. 1 onto the transport ship, and then transport it to the second base. As for the air restricted area, there is a small opening, and messengers can be summoned along the way to protect the transport ship, and then fly honestly close to the ground, it should not be a big problem.
Croma took the order and left, and Chu Jungui began to inspect his spoils. This was the first time he had taken the enemy's forward base, and it was intact.
The forward base of the Pirate Banner has a complete plan, and the power module is under the center of the base, and the old fusion energy supply module is fully encapsulated. Designed to handle harsh environments, the module is a single-use consumable with the fuel included.
Once activated, it can be used for up to one year at full power. The output power of this module is 500,000 KW, and the volume is 2*2*2 as standard. At this moment, the Pirate Banner has equipped each forward base with 4 one-time fusion energy modules, which is enough to meet the needs of the moment.
It was not the advanced technology that made the test subject sigh, but the wealth of the pirate flag. This kind of single-use fusion module is by no means cheap, and is more than dozens of times more expensive than a normal micro fusion energy station. The pirate flag actually directly equipped each base with this kind of energy supply module, and just such a module was enough to buy Chu Jungui's entire No. 2 base.
In addition to the energy module, there are also functional areas such as production areas, residential areas, and armament areas.
The Pirate Flag is paired with a rapid-fire cannon that uses old-fashioned optoelectronic and laser aiming, and the self-aiming module is replaced every three days. The new modules will be sent down by the transport ship. Air defense, on the other hand, uses a needle and an umbrella to form a dual defense network, and uses a laser early warning system to indicate missile defense. The laser irradiation modules are also replaced every three days.
When he learned that the price of each laser irradiation module exceeded one million federal yuan, Chu Jungui instantly regretted that he had fought too recklessly at Base No. 1. His artillery fire covered the entire superstructure of the base city wall, and how could such a sophisticated equipment as the laser detection module withstand such a ravage? Hundreds of modules were scrapped. Chu Jungui didn't feel anything at first, but after knowing the price, his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe when he thought of hundreds of millions of equipment being scrapped in his hands.
Fortunately, the second base surrendered peacefully, and all the equipment fell into the hands of Chu Jungui in its entirety, that is, hundreds of laser detection modules can still be used, and there are 30 spare parts in the warehouse, and the test subject is in a better mood.
However, the life of such laser detection modules is very limited, they can be used for 5 to 10 years in other planetary or space environments, but at most 5 days on Planet 4, the lens of the transmitter will be corroded to the point of being unusable. To date, the Federation has not researched any available anti-corrosion coatings with high light transmittance.
Chu Jungui immediately ordered, "Dismantle all laser detection modules and store them in storage." ”
The commander of the original base, who was following him, was taken aback and said: "This is the key to our air defense!
"I have a way to deal with living missiles, and I'll install automatic defense facilities for you right away. "The test body is a big package.
"Auto-defense?" the former base commander will be incredulous, "Isn't there no mastermind to use here? I mean, the miniaturization. ”
"That's you. There are no problems with the AI used in our automated defense facilities. "In the subject's view, there is nothing wrong with using the intelligence of people working behind the scenes, also known as artificial intelligence. All turrets are controlled by him behind the scenes, which can certainly be called artificial intelligence.
The base commander could not and did not dare to refute, so he could only sigh secretly.
The subject didn't care about the captives, and now he was standing at the door of the warehouse, watching the airtight door slowly rise. Behind the door is an airtight compartment, which slowly opens when the corrosive air has been emptied and re-injected with normal air. It's like Base 2, the materials are all randomly placed, and there are no high-end materials that need to be isolated anyway.
Walking into the warehouse, you will see several separate areas, each of which is color-coded, namely the Life Supplies, Ammunition Depot, Material Depot, Equipment Depot, and Planetary Sample Depot.
Several major libraries are easy to understand, but what Chu Jungui can't figure out is the planetary sample library. When I entered the warehouse, it turned out to be a sample of the original products of Planet 4 that had been sealed, with all kinds of war beasts on one side and plants and minerals on the other. Many of the samples are kept in special containment boxes, and through the viewing window, it is immediately clear that the atmosphere and temperature of Planet 4 are maintained in the box. Some advanced lockers can even simulate diurnal variations.
However, this library is basically of little use to Chu Jungui. The test subject and Lin Xi's research on the native creatures of Planet 4 has far surpassed that of the Pirate Flag. Comparatively, the pirate flag has not even begun to be studied.
The mothballed samples were apparently intended to be sent to the space base laboratory in orbit, but there has been no transport ship capable of returning to orbit until today.
There are also two complete single-use fusion energy modules in the warehouse, shells for tens of thousands of rapid-fire guns, various materials for the construction of the base, and enough food and water for 5,000 people to sustain two months. In particular, water use also includes daily washing water!
The subject quietly sent a message to Lin Xi in the communication channel, "Are all the Federation Legions so rich?"
Lin Xi replied coldly: "Poor and extravagant! Our Sheng Tang family, for example, our Lin family, has never been like this. ”
"Really, isn't it because of poverty?" said the subject, feeling as if he had said something wrong.
