The reason for getting up in such a hurry is very simple, another batch of airdrop materials has arrived, and in this batch of airdrops, there are standard supply stations that are urgently needed.

Not only that, but the armored bunker was also subjected to a surprise attack, and two pieces of titanium steel alloy armor were badly corroded and needed to be re-welded.

By the time Fang Linyan arrived at the construction site, Stason had already been here for a long time, and in his free time to work, he would give him some pointers.

Under the guidance of Stassen, Fang Linyan's harvest is not small, this guy doesn't say much, but he can get to the point in every sentence.

Take Stassen's words: welders are not just able to do a good job with a welding torch, especially engaged in military welding, which is related to the life and death of soldiers, and it is impossible to do a decent job without rich combat experience.

The supply station is different from the bunker, which only uses argon fluoride welding operations, and in addition to considering the firmness between the solder joints, it is necessary to pay more attention to its ductility.

The supply station built by Stason and Fang Linyan is the crystallization of the Empire's newly developed high-tech wisdom, in addition to its conventional functions, the supply station also has a lifting function.

As the name suggests, a supply station is a warehouse that stores supplies, and unlike civilian warehouses, it is necessary to consider not only the safety of ammunition, but also its concealment, so as not to become the enemy's primary target.

That's why the scientists of the Federation invented this kind of supply station that can be used for lifting and descending.

The supply station is small, resembling a 4×4×10 tin box, equipped with a ventilation system at the top, with two fans hovering over it, and two closingable entrances and exits in front and rear.

The steel plate is made of alloy carbon steel 150 mm thick, which cannot penetrate even heavy machine gun bullets with a rate of fire of up to 800 meters per second.

To defend against aerial attacks, the wartime supply station can be lowered underground if necessary, and then covered and protected by two thickened hinged bulletproof doors.

At the same time, the depot is also multi-functional, equipped not only with ammunition containment equipment, but also equipped with field beds for 15 soldiers to rest.

The welding of the supply station requires some skills, because it is necessary to take into account the comfort and practicality, Fang Linyan has a deeper understanding of fusion welding, sub-welding, brazing and gas welding under the teaching of Stassen, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

Soon, the entire camp was almost completed, so Fang Linyan went to Stason to chat, and his casual words could make Lin Yan's eyes light up.

And Stason is a man who doesn't like to drink, and of course there is a drinking party where he is.

Federation officers also have the habit of drinking two glasses to relax after work, so Lin Yan also became familiar with the combat commander Jason and his subordinates in the base, and they still recognized Lin Yan's welding level, and the relationship between the two sides quickly warmed up.

However, just when the drinking was in full swing, an orderly next to him immediately trotted over and said:

"Engineer Stasson, Deputy Commander Hank has requested to speak with you. ”

When Stassen heard the news, he simply cursed and said:

"What the hell, I hate it when people bother me when I'm drinking!"

Then he turned to leave, and after a while, he heard a series of shouts and curses from within.

After a while, Stassen walked out with a black face, and then pointed at Fang Lin Yan very dryly:

"Boy, come with me, I was just asked to do coolies, and I happened to be short of manpower here, so I recruited you directly. ”

Fang Linyan said very simply:

"No problem, but my two friends have to follow me, too. ”

Stason snorted coldly and said:

"I'll give you fifteen minutes to pack your bags, and the shuttle that picked me up will arrive twenty minutes later, and when the shuttle arrives, I'll see you waiting for me at the landing site with your luggage on your back. ”

So half an hour later, Fang Linyan and the three of them were already on their way back to the New Watch Fort.

Before leaving, the quartermaster had already evaluated their establishment of the sentry, Fang Linyan received 50 platinum coins, and Vulture and Goat as his lieutenants received 30 points.

Along the way, Stason was still a very talkative person, and he was always chatting and laughing with the random co-pilot.

The two of them seemed to know each other well, so the co-pilot mentioned one thing in the casual conversation, that is, the mechanic who worked for them yesterday was an idiot who actually had a problem installing the circulation system at the supply station.

Statham said:

"This is the most common mistake for novices, when the circulation system of the supply station is installed, the transmission system on the exhaust valve and the intake valve looks exactly the same, and it is easy to install it in reverse, but after it is reversed, it will cause the system to strike after working for an hour. ”

The co-pilot said:

"I don't know the cause of the failure, but it is a fact that the toilet failed. ”

"Then when this guy came to troubleshoot, he went out to because he hated the toilet being too dirty, and was bitten by a poisonous mosquito on the ball!"

"Now the doctor's advice is to cut off the thing under his crotch that is swollen to the size of an apple and is starting to rot and run black........"

Statham took out the flask and took a sip, and scolded with a smile:

"Hell, I'm sure if I had known about the consequences, that unlucky guy would have preferred to spend the day in that toilet. ”

Hearing such a conversation, the three of them glanced at each other and saw a chill in each other's eyes.

Although this is a small probability event, it is enough to show that this place is sinister everywhere, which makes people feel chilled and act cautiously.

This is not a safe metropolis, but a cruel environment where the jungle eats the jungle, and these bloody facts around them, even if it is just a joke, remind them that this place is very, very, very dangerous!

When the shuttle landed at Fort New Watch, Stason was informed that it was very important to summon him back urgently.

However, because the communication system of the command center of the new watch fort was malfunctioning, the sensors showed that there should be a problem with the external line or relay station, so it was impossible to get in touch with the mothership Lakshire, so it had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

But now, after two hours of repair, not only has the connection with the mothership not been restored, but even the connection with the rest of the sentry camps and military bases has begun to gradually lose.

In this day and age, this is a very fatal thing!

So while the communication was not completely cut off, New Watch recalled all the mechanical engineers who had been scattered out to solve the looming problem first, and Stasson was the first to return.

After clarifying the problem, Stassen motioned for Fang Linyan to go with him.

Because at this time, he was asked to accompany him to the command center to read the code of the fault this time, and with the fault code, he could know the specific general area where the fault occurred, as well as the cause of the failure, and so on.

The command center had been formed forty hours earlier, in the middle of the new Watch Fort, and resembled a giant hamburger, round at the top and flat at the bottom.

Unlike bunkers, anti-aircraft towers, and other facilities, the command center is a splicing of six giant components parachuted down from the mothership, with its own flight function, which can also be understood as a movable fortress, and its chassis has up to sixteen reversible thrusters, which allow it to take off and land vertically, or fly slowly at six miles per hour.

The bottom area of the command center is about 6,000 square meters, almost the size of a football field, with a height of more than 20 meters, and it is divided into three floors.

In addition to the sixteen plasma reversing thrusters, there are two large warehouses in the ground floor, which are usually filled with twenty SCI and four Leopard armored personnel carriers, which are used to build defenses and gather resources, and also provide basic defenses.

The middle floor is used as a headquarters, and the upper floor is the radar communication room, which is responsible for receiving and issuing various combat deployments.

At the top of the command center, 19 UYK-7 light brains and 20 UYK-20 intelligent brains are integrated, as well as 22 tactical 3D displays, which together form the "Hermes Field Operations System", which the Star Consortium is proud of. ”

It's like the brain of the entire command center.

At the same time, an AN/SPY-1 multifunctional phased array high-power radar is enough to meet any needs of commanders, and its role is also irreplaceable, it is the eyes and ears of the entire command center.

In addition, there is a heavy 320mm ultra-high pulse cannon on the top of the command center, which can reach a maximum range of 40 kilometers, and with its own fire control system, it can accurately hit any target within the range.

At the same time, if covering suppressive fire is required, then it can be replaced with a Krupp heavy gun with a caliber of up to 400 mm in five minutes!

It can launch X-M185 remote sensing special artillery shells at a rate of twenty seconds.

The X M185 remote sensing projectile will be launched at an initial velocity of 692 m/s and will go straight into the air at a distance of 500 meters from the target location.

Then the built-in parachute opens, and the information sensor inside the missile begins to work, relying on the small radar inside to search for targets.

Once the target is locked, the magazine of the X M185 remote sensing shell is opened, and as many as 45 incendiary projectiles are poured downward, turning a full two square kilometers into a sea of fire.
