Chapter 1710 Different expansion methods
Not to mention, once the beast tide broke out, the advance base on the land would easily be submerged by the overwhelming beast tide. Whether it was desperate resistance or trying to rescue the staff trapped inside, it was very difficult.
Therefore, some people have long thought about the plan of "advance base in the air".
That is to further upgrade the mature armored airship technology, adopt modular design, combine dozens or even hundreds of armored airships together to form a large-scale air fortress, and fly directly to the place where humans want to set up their forward base. Go over the coordinates.
Compared with the ground forward base, this air fortress has incomparable advantages.
The first is that it has a strong passability and is almost unaffected by the ground environment.
Whether it is deep jungles, rugged mountains, fragmented canyons, wetlands with dense water networks, or even swamps filled with poisonous fog, all kinds of terrains that pass from the ground and cost a hundred times the cost of air fortresses Said, can easily cross the past.
Secondly, most monsters do not have the ability to fly or fight in the air. Even if the monsters with amazing jumping ability can threaten the height of 100 meters, it is the limit.
As long as the cruising altitude of the air fortress is set at more than 300 meters, more than 90% of the monster threats can be avoided.
As for the threat of aerial monsters, of course, it still exists.
However, even the forward base on the ground will also be threatened by aerial monsters, condescending and diving bombardment.
To deal with flying monsters in the air, at least they can pull each other to the same height, and then use the fierce firepower of humans to solve each other.
On the other hand, in the war between humans and monsters, or in other words, in the war between humans and otherworldly natives, the biggest advantage of humans is not their fierce firepower.
It is a highly information-based battlefield data link system, which brings global perception and control capabilities.
Through the tactical data link, every armored vehicle, every power armor, every soldier, and even every citizen are organically combined.
Then use the supercomputer that can calculate billions or even tens of billions of times per second to split strategic objectives into tactical objectives, and continue to split tactical objectives into specific instructions, which are distributed to each combat unit and even single unit through the network. on the communicator of the individual soldier.
In this way, the entire human civilization has become an indomitable giant, able to mobilize and use 100% of itself and all its power.
In this process, the importance of information network is self-evident.
If the forward base is set on the ground, no matter wired network or wireless communication, it is easy to be interfered or even blocked by monsters and otherworldly natives.
The air fortress, located at an altitude of hundreds of meters or even nearly a thousand meters, has the advantage of being condescending. It can easily be transformed into a super-large signal relay station, so that humans within a radius of a hundred miles can share battle information and send out help. Signals that transmit various instructions.
In addition, conventional ground advance bases are often difficult to move and cannot be used for secondary use.
With the development of the front line and the continuous expansion of the control area of ​​Longcheng, many forward bases that were originally located on the front line often become located in the rear of human beings in three to five years or even less time, losing their original functions. .
In this case, whether it is demolished, remodeled, or abandoned, it will consume or even waste a lot of valuable resources.
Of course, the ground advance base can also adopt a modular design. When necessary, various modules can be disassembled, transported to the front line, and reassembled.
The problem is, considering the power of the beast swarm, most of the forward bases have extremely high requirements for defense, and many modules are deeply embedded in the ground and are tightly welded to the surrounding modules.
Not to mention the cost of re-disassembly and assembly.
It is said that after many disassembly, transportation and assembly, the durability and defense of some modules have been greatly reduced, so that the entire forward base no longer meets the acceptance standards, which is very troublesome.
And these problems, for the air advance base, all do not exist.
After all, the advance base in the air has the ability to ignore the terrain, fly freely, and deploy at will.
It can even move forward several kilometers every day with the advancement of the front, constantly spreading the light of human civilization to farther places.
And because the air forward base is composed of countless armored airships.
Its size can also be adjusted at will.
If the strategic value of a certain place is extremely high, or the threat of the enemy is extremely high, the air advance base can be formed by connecting hundreds of armored airships end to end and three-dimensional connection, becoming a strategic fortress that is high above and suppresses everything.
If the strategic value of a certain place is not high, or the combat readiness level is low, or the enemy situation is unknown, and only long-term observation is required, then a small air fortress composed of 10 or 20 armored airships is sufficient for most routine operations.
Based on these advantages, coupled with some companies in the nine super enterprises, in the field of armored airship research and development, there is a considerable accumulation of technology.
Therefore, when the situation of the monster war eased a little and Longcheng was able to gather more strategic resources, the "Aerial Advancement Base Project" began to advance at full speed with the support of more than half of the councilors.
The Chilong Army originally supported the "Air Advancement Base Project".
After all, the Chilong Army at that time did not have too much combat power and too much right to speak, and only existed as a vassal of the extraordinary, mainly the peerless powerhouses of the nine super enterprises.
However, as the war continued, the Chilong Army cultivated more and more of its own masters, and after gradually matured, they found that the "Air Advancement Base Project" may not meet their own needs.
After all, the carrying capacity of an armored airship has a limit no matter how high it is.
The nine super-enterprises mainly rely on the extraordinary to fight.
Armored airships are more than enough to transport extraordinary people, as well as various equipment of extraordinary people, and provide logistical support.
However, the steel torrent of the Red Dragon Army, hundreds of thousands of troops, and train guns weighing tens or even hundreds of tons at every turn, are difficult to transport by armored airships and stay on the air fortress for a long time.
Just in time, humans excavated the remains of the ancient teleportation formation from the ancient ruins.
Based on this, the human's own "planetary surface short-distance jumping system" has been reproduced.
After careful consideration, the Chilong Army decided to invest most of its resources in the teleportation array technology, and rely on the teleportation array technology to recreate the strategy, tactics and corresponding equipment more suitable for the Chilong Army.
So far, the Red Dragon Army and the nine super-enterprises have parted ways in terms of strategic development directions and methods.
100% of the "Air Advance Base Project" has fallen into the hands of the nine super enterprises.
