Chapter 102: Sinister Environment
Fang Linyan stood up and said:
"That's right, sir, the three of us didn't get airsick or vomit violently. ”
Jason stared at Fang Linyan for a few seconds and said:
"I think I've seen your information somewhere, you once served in friendly forces and held the rank of second lieutenant, right?"
Of course, Fang Linyan has the rank of second lieutenant, but he is certified in the space, but he didn't expect it to be common here, so he said:
"Yes, sir, these two are the guys I brought. ”
Jason nodded abruptly and said:
"No wonder it's different from these sissies. ”
After hearing Jason's words, the goat and vulture immediately said enviously in the team channel:
"I'll go, does this regular military rank still have such an advantage? Can it be directly recognized by the aborigines?"
Fang Linyan didn't expect that there would be such benefits, and he was also a little surprised.
The vulture added:
"If we don't take this drug, we can put it away, if I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a long-acting stimulant, in short, a new type of drug fight. ”
"The short-term effect is very obvious, but if you take it for a long time, it will be very harmful to the body, but the army values immediate combat power and does not pay attention to these. ”
Jason waited until everyone had finished taking the medicine, nodded and said to the person next to him:
"Let's get started. ”
So the people next to him began to distribute the materials, and everyone who attended the meeting had a copy.
Fang Linyan took a closer look and found that the content on this information was very detailed, and it was related to a certain area known as Area 323.
The information is clearly marked as classified as Class 2, and if leaked, it will be brought before a court-martialed for a special trial!
This document will clearly list the requirements of the Star Consortium, that is, a group of people to land first and clear a safe area.
A sentry camp called No. 323 was then established on a high ground to serve as a bridgehead and temporary base for subsequent development, which could be expanded into a military base in the future.
Jason clicked on it, and a three-dimensional topographic map formed by the light brain popped up next to it.
From above, you can clearly see that the landing site is a hill made of red sandstone, which is relatively high, about two or three square kilometers, and is surrounded by the most common terrain on Morston----- endless moorland.
Intuitively, it looks like an island in the middle of a swampy ocean.
The reason why the military chose to camp here was to occupy the key terrain and obtain a tactical fulcrum.
The moorland on the planet Morston is terrifying, accessible on foot, but it is dotted with quagmires of various sizes, ranging from half a meter to several hundred meters in diameter.
There is no obvious difference from the outside, but once you get stuck in the quagmire, it can be very troublesome, so you can only survey the swamp on foot, and wait until the quagmire area is marked before mechanical vehicles can pass it.
According to statistics, more than one-third of the current non-combat attrition people are tragically killed while exploring the moor.
In fact, the terrifying creatures in the swamp are not the most problematic problems, but the most troublesome is the huge purple mushroom tree called "Big Leba" that grows in it.
The scientific name of this fungus is called Austrostenite, which is tens of meters tall and has rhizomes as thick as giant water barrels, which are as wide as three or four meters.
At night, the head of the mushroom, located on top of the austenitic body, splits into many spores, which break down when they leave the body, releasing a hazy mist.
At present, the specific composition of this fog is still being analyzed, and it is only known that the current analysis contains at least "methamphetamine", "meflophosphine isopropyl ester" and other terrifying ingredients, and its density is comparable to the morning fog in winter.
But the visual effect still looks like a beautiful purple glow, and it will soon cover a large area.
This poisonous spores, with a strong "hypnotic hallucinogenic effect", caused a large number of non-combat attrition.
Especially in the first few days of landing on the planet Moston, many mercenaries who tried to enter the hills at night to carry out search work were recruited, and they fell into the swamp in a daze, and died without a sense of resistance.
Their trick is because they believe too much in the filter masks they carry.
However, the poisonous mist is not the most dangerous, the spores of the real bacteria are the best killer of death, and they will be absorbed as long as they come into contact with the skin without inhalation.
The unlucky ones will unknowingly sink into a deadly quagmire, and then be devoured by some predators lurking in the quagmire, and the gastric juice will corrode and decompose into their nutrients.
These trappers will go to the roots of the austenitic bacteria to excrete and fertilize, and this strange ecological cycle is also jaw-dropping.
After learning this information, it is obvious that the purpose of the Star Consortium to build Armed Outpost No. 323 here, that is, to provide a stable rest and supply area for the exploring troops with this point as the center.
In this case, with Armed Outpost 323 as the center, at least a few hundred square kilometers in circumference could be included in a stable exploration area.
Fang Linyan noticed that the tasks received by their group of logistics personnel at this time included but were not limited to:
Four armored bunkers were built in the camp, as well as three anti-aircraft missile towers, and the materials and equipment were of course provided by the Star Consortium.
The rest of the facilities in the camp, such as water towers, supply depots, medical rooms, etc., do not require much defense strength, and will be directly airdropped by transport planes after the defense facilities are built.
These conventional buildings have long been modularized, and can be built like building blocks in just an hour or two.
After talking about these things, almost an hour had passed, and Jason said very simply:
"Now, everyone stand up, take your backpacks and follow me!"
"Sorry boys, you don't have time to visit here at New Watch, we need to get to Heights 323 right now, or the bastard above me will kick me in the ass. ”
"And I'm not in a good mood, I'll definitely let you remember this unforgettable time!GOGOGO!"
As a result, Fang Linyan's group, which had been less than two hours after leaving the shuttle, was re-loaded with another unicorn II as if they were chasing ducks to the shelves.
Then it formed a formation with the rest of the four and took off in unison.
No one complained about anything, after all, the guys who were so airsick and vomiting that they were weak before looked as if they were refreshed after taking the medicine.
This time the flight was a bit tedious, with the only highlight being a missile attack from below about 15 minutes after takeoff.
It was just that the pilot, who was preoccupied, noticed the warning on the radar at the first time, and directly released a jamming bomb, successfully detonating this missile.
The pilot then controls the fire control computer on the Unicorn II to open fire, turning the area where the attacker below is staying.
After an hour of flight time, finally, the target area was reached.
As the shuttle began to slow down and then circle, the crowd began to take a look at the environment below.
You can see it from the porthole of the shuttle, which is different from the 3D modeling, it is completely full of shrubs, and there are thorns everywhere, and when you land, the shrubs will even reach the chest and neck.
This is the most vexing problem.
Because of this terrain, people's vision will be greatly obstructed, and predators can easily weave through the gaps in the bushes below and attack.
The firepower and range superiority that humans possess will be suppressed to the limit.
At the same time, such bushes will also cause the ground to be extremely wet, and there will be a large number of alien poisonous insects and the like breeding here, which may not be fatal for a short time, but will make those who stay here for a long time be exhausted and painful.
After witnessing the current situation of Heights 323, everyone clamored because the situation in front of them was very different from what was shown on the 3D model.
There was even a flat-headed man who seemed to be a man of temperament, and directly scolded a dirty word, and said angrily:
"Damn, I'm going to have to shove the head of the stupid donkey who made the topographic map into the toilet!?!
His words undoubtedly struck a chord with the rest, but at this moment, Jason, the leading officer in front, stood up and looked around.
His figure was burly, his hand was pressed on the gun at his waist, and his gloomy face was very oppressive, and the noise of the drumming suddenly subsided as far as his eyes could see.
