Chapter 268: Development and Brewing

After the airship technology matured, the headquarters successively released some airships and went to explore in other directions, but because the exploration had just begun, the other side of the world was still unknown;

However, with the help of data such as the horizon arc, the appearance of the world under our feet in mathematics and physics has actually been roughly understood by the Republic.

Through multiple observations and data aggregation, the witch doctors learned through calculations that the world under their feet is a sphere with a radius of 12,756 kilometers, an equatorial circumference of 80,148 kilometers, and a total surface area of about 2 billion square kilometers;

The known world, which is temporarily confined to about a quarter of the sphere, consists of the endless sea, the large and small islands of the sea, the northern continents, the northern mountains, and the Black Forest.

On top of this, the northern continent spans the poles in the north and the mountains in the south, with a total area of about 470 million square kilometers;

The Black Forest, on the other hand, on the other hand, seems to belong to a separate plate that is mostly submerged in the seabed, and the part of the republic that outcrops the surface of the sea is the main body of the republic.....

It is an area with a total area of nearly 20 million square kilometers with a maximum area of 9,000 kilometers from east to west and a maximum of 3,000 kilometers from north to south.

Perhaps, in the distant past, this plate collided and embedded itself at the bottom of the northern continent, and then a relatively large north-south barrier rose at the junction;

It is the 'Northern Mountains' from the perspective of the Black Forest, and among the Northern Tribes it has another name - the 'Southern Wall of the Continent'.....

Although the 'northern mountains' are more accessible to the Black Forest, they seem to belong to the northern continent geographically;

It is relatively large in size, and there are large and small secondary plateaus embedded in it, and the northern plateau where the Toulon horn hoof species now lives is one of the largest.

At the southernmost end of the plateau is the 'Outer North Fortress', which belongs to the Republic, and after 200 kilometers of straight south and through the mountain gaps, you will reach the 'Inner North Fortress' at the northernmost point of the Black Forest.

Continue 1,300 kilometers south from the 'Inner North City Fortress' to reach the headquarters of the Republic.

However, if we set out from the 'Outer North City Fortress' and travel north, after more than 600 kilometers, we will enter the mountains again, surrounded by tall rolling peaks;

After entering the mountain, continue to travel north for about 400 kilometers, and then you will really leave the mountain area and come to the civilized border of the northern continent, and then turn the 'southern wall of the continent' behind you.

In other words, the mountains are located in this part of the northern part of the main area, covering the northern plateau, and the north-south span is about 1,200 kilometers, and it is also the thickest area of the mountain barrier in the observation.

Moving our gaze to the north, let's take the place where the escape pod fell at this time as the center of the circle, and then extend it to the north and south....

With this point as the center, 2,500 kilometers to the south is the northern end of the 'Continental Wall', 3,500 kilometers away is the 'Outer North City Fortress', 5,000 kilometers to the headquarters of the Republic, 6,000 kilometers to the equator, and 6,300 kilometers to the southern coastline.

To the north, after 4,000 kilometers you reach the halfway point between the equator and the North Pole, after 14,000 kilometers you reach the North Pole, and after 17,000 kilometers you reach the edge of the continent on the other side of the world.

It is known that the Black Forest has put 170 continental base stations into the northern continent, and their deployment points will be relatively sparse in densely civilized areas, while there will be one base station in every 800km radius in the Mengqi Twin Kingdom......

Cynthia used to be a soldier in the army, and now she is an investigator in the Department of External Exploration, and these two identities run through almost all the troll students and elf students she graduated from school....

The latter, of the two careers, tells her the importance of 'secrecy', and in order to conceal their existence as much as possible, the investigators will even choose to directly melt their bodies in the most unavoidable and extreme cases, so as to eliminate all traces of existence.

And the former, she needs to carry out the killing in order ....

As for secrecy? The idea of the army is to kill all the enemies, and then it will naturally be able to keep it secret.

And under the combination of the two, 'after converging the reinforcements from the base station, breaking into 034 and killing all the insiders' has become the most priority in her mind at this time, and she has begun to make corresponding arrangements in this direction.

Thus, the 'signal for help' centered on Agatha's witch doctor spread in all directions;

The purpose is to summon nine continental base stations within a radius of 2,300 square kilometers, and to summon all individually armored elven units in their respective signal jurisdictions to come to the fall site for support.

In these base stations, each has 1 engineer who is also the station commander, 2 backbone engineers, plus 5 members of the escort team, and at this time, there are 9 base stations within the target range, and a total of 72 permanent units exist;

And in the signal jurisdiction of these base stations, there are about 40 other compatriots each, a total of 360 compatriots, who are carrying out reconnaissance missions.

At present, the number of elves in the republic has accounted for 30% of the total number of mouths, and in order to allow more people to complete advanced cultivation in a more stable area, most of the field work in the kingdom is actually undertaken by these elves.

This data is reflected in the proportion of 70% of intelligence officers and 100% of base station residents in terms of 'mainland base station stationers' and 'intelligence officers in the jurisdiction';

Therefore, in the jurisdiction of the nine base stations around the fall site, in addition to the 59 'air crashes' in this line, there are about 330 elf compatriots at this time.

In addition, due to the particularity of their missions, 72 of them have a 100% armor landing rate, while the rest of the scouts have an armor landing rate of about 45%;

Substituting this data, it can be seen that the total number of armored units of various types in the area is about 185.

In addition, since the base stations on the mainland are all 'engineers' who belong to the army, not the 'engineers' who belong to the ruling government and research institutes, they also reserve their own combat armor in the base station in addition to maintenance armor.

Therefore, it can be seen that there are about 72 combat armored troops and more than 110 reconnaissance armored troops in the 'vicinity'....

Among them, the four mainland base stations closest to the fall site are located about 320 kilometers northwest of the city, about 1380 kilometers northeast, about 1450 kilometers southwest and 2100 kilometers southeast (034 city is more southeast);

They geographically encircle 034 City, and the sound signal will first arrive at the base station signal area in the calculation area, and then reach the location of the four base stations after 13 light minutes, 57 light minutes, 60 light minutes, and 89 light minutes, and then transmit to the farthest end of the dot.

For these four base stations that can receive the news first, Cynthia hopes that the intelligence officers in its signal area can intercept the 'fish that slipped through the net' among the communicators sent by 034 in the outermost area, and gradually approach the inner circle in the process, and finally reach the vicinity of 034;

For the residents of these four sites, Cynthia hopes that they can get to the landing point as quickly as possible, and first form a stronger and more reliable combat force here before talking about anything else.

The other five base stations further away, whether they are garrisons or scouts, need to arrive in this area as soon as possible after receiving the signal.

As for it, it was only at the right time that these elves were able to cross this not a short distance and finally arrive here.....

In armor, the 'Combat' has a cruising speed of 180 km/dh in daylight, and the 'Scout' has a cruising speed of 150 km/dh in the sun;

As they maintain cruising speed, sunlight shines through the resin layer directly onto the driver's skin, which replenishes them with the necessary energy.

In this state, the elves only need to replenish some of the necessary trace elements in the armor at any time, and they can continue to run in the sunlight until the sun goes down, and they will need to leave time to rest between marches.....

When the escape pod fell to the ground, the headquarters time was about 4 o'clock on the day, the first briefing time was 4:13 on the day, and the second briefing and the request for support to the four parties occurred at about 4:36 on the day;

Calculated from the time point of the second communication, even the farthest base station will receive the signal before 6:05 on the day, and the farthest end of the dot can also receive the corresponding message after more than half a light hour;

In other words, the support forces of all stations will be able to depart by 6:40 a.m. at the latest.

Although it is winter in the northern hemisphere, and the area where the nine base stations of the target are located will not reach 24 hours of sunshine, the latitude in which it is located will not be too exaggerated, and it is generally sufficient.

From 6:40 a.m., to 12 noon, to the setting of the sun, there were more than ten hours of light for them to go on their journey.

In addition, there are few civilized creatures in the wild in winter, so as long as you avoid areas that are too close to the city, you can travel relatively boldly.

Combined with the 'cruising speed in the sun', the support of the nine base stations will be able to arrive within today, before the sun sets.

At that time, including the existing armored forces, Cynthia will be able to gather 87 combat armor, about 119 reconnaissance armor, plus the support force that the headquarters may send, they will be enough to form a threat to 034 City that cannot be ignored.

In addition, the signal from here to the outer north city needs 2.5 light hours to arrive, so it takes five light hours to conduct a reciprocating communication for a problem;

When the nine base stations receive the support signal and complete the response and follow-up actions, the crash point should have reached at least 2-3 reciprocating exchanges with the headquarters;

Therefore, at the very least, the report on the situation of the fall point, the results of the prisoners' interrogation, and the tentative plan and arrangement, the headquarters can know in time during this period and give corresponding guidance.....

To put it bluntly, most of the orders given by Cynthia during this process were only arranged to save time, except for the support request related to the 'interception of the messenger';

The purpose is naturally to be able to assemble sufficient executable forces as soon as the order of the headquarters arrives.

Of course, the follow-up orders will not necessarily be the same as her plan, and what needs to be carried out at that time may be 'attacking key targets', or 'slaughtering the city', or requiring them to immediately withdraw to the nearest base station.

It is for this reason that although her plan is more radical, it is not completely without room for slowdown.....

~~~~~

At 4:34 a.m., about 25 minutes after the fall of the escape pod, the second situation report and the corresponding support were sent out to the surroundings with Agatha Witch Doctor as a dot.

The sound waves rushed towards the four sectors like ocean waves, and in addition to the intelligence officers who happened to be in a radius of 320 kilometers, the first to receive this set of signals was the continental base station located northwest of the crash site;

Up until this point, everything was normal, but what happened after that was beyond the expectations of Cynthia and the other victims.....

Cynthia, whose permanent location is located in the northern fanged country, actually doesn't know that as an area relatively close to the Black Forest, and even the first line of intelligence after the north out of the mountains, the mainland base stations around City 034 have actually laid out 'metal sound lines';

The transmission time estimated by the 'air crasher' was estimated according to the situation in the rest of the mainland where the 'voice wire' was not arranged, so the transmission speed of the voice between the base stations of this side was actually much faster than they imagined......

When Agatha's spell message arrived at the base station 320 kilometers northwest after 13 light minutes, it was converted into an acoustic signal in the 'metal sound guide line', and then directly transmitted to the surrounding 4 continental base stations separated by 1600 kilometers and 4 diagonal base stations separated by about 2300 kilometers at a speed of 4800 m/s.

After about 5.5 or 8 minutes, these signals reach all destinations.....

A total of 64 elves from the nine stations, in addition to the stationmaster, immediately put on combat armor and set off towards the crash point.

In addition, depending on the distance from the central point, the investigators in their respective jurisdictions also received a distress signal that saved more than ten times the time in the first step at different times.

As a result, 114 of the elves in reconnaissance armor immediately stopped what they were doing, and some of them went straight to the landing point according to the request for support, while the other part formed an interception in the area and approached the inner circle like a comb.

Among the various supports, the first to arrive was the garrison of the northwest base station, a total of eight single armor holders, and it took less than 2 light hours to enter the sensing range and go straight to the fall point in the stunned eyes of the 'air difficulty' everyone.

"How is it so fast?" Cynthia and other elves and trolls expressed their puzzlement about this.....

~~~~~

In the direction of the Black Forest, although the 'sound guide line' has not been able to reach the outer northern city for the time being, after passing through several adjacent southern base stations, it has reached the northern boundary of the mountains in about 10 minutes;

Here, the signal turned back and traveled in the atmosphere, and after 15 minutes, it crossed the mountains and reached the signal receiving station in the south of the mountain.

At this point, the message returned to the area with the 'metal sound wire' and was converted into a 'metal signal' again....

After that, the two messages from thousands of kilometers away went south, along the path of the Outer North City-Inner North City-Headquarters, and each took about 5 minutes to reach the core area of the Republic.

The first message arrives.....

"Ahh Attacked by a big bird? Escape pod falling?!Hurry up and report to the Military Commission! ”
