Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 161 Finding the right direction
Although Yang Yi and the others actively called for the battle, Karl did not immediately arrange tasks for them, but called out all the information related to the battle and asked them to figure out the situation on the battlefield first.

After reading it patiently, Yang Yi and the others knew it well.

Three days ago, the fleet of the Silicon Magic Alliance suddenly appeared. Before the garrison took action, it blocked the Prometheus star with a thunderous force, and shot down several scout ships sent by the garrison.After sending out the signal for help, Colonel Carl immediately deployed the military according to the plan.

In the defense deployment of the Prometheus star, the garrison base called "Polaris" and the mercenary base called "Southern Star" are two supporting points, which have irreplaceable value.Simply put, these two bases are indispensable, and the fall of any base will make the defensive deployment of the garrison a display.

Here, a secret of the first theater is involved.

Thousands of years ago, after occupying the Prometheus star, the first war zone formulated an extremely grand construction plan, preparing to turn the Prometheus star into a frontier fortress.It's a pity that the armistice agreement signed afterwards made this dream come to naught, but Marshal Sean, the commander of the first theater, did not give up on Prometheus.Everything that happened after that has something to do with it, it's just not that simple.

According to Sean's vision, the first war zone will completely remodel the Prometheus star and completely rebuild it according to the standards of the space fortress.The most important thing here is to install an SSS-level original energy converter in the center of the planet Prometheus, making it the energy source for the entire military fortress.If this plan is successfully completed, then hundreds of years ago, the Prometheus star was built into a space fortress.

Although limited by the armistice agreement, Sean's grand vision did not become a reality, but before the transformation of the Prometheus star stopped, the military bases at the north and south poles had been planned and construction started.In the defense deployment of Prometheus star, these two military bases are of vital value.That is, through these two military bases, the energy provided by the original energy converter will create a strong geomagnetic field for the Prometheus star, protect the Prometheus star through the geomagnetic field, and at the same time change the Prometheus star. environment of.If a war breaks out, the geomagnetic field can also be turned into an energy barrier by enhancing energy.

It can be seen that if Sean's plan becomes a reality, the Prometheus star will become a super space fortress like "Kun Barrion".

Although it has not become a reality, the construction of two military bases has been completed successively.

Hundreds of years later, the S-class original energy converters dismantled from the scrapped warships in the first war zone were sent to the Prometheus star and installed in two military bases.In addition, through the efforts of several generations, the earth-centered tunnel connecting the two military bases has also been penetrated.

Although there is a big difference from Marshal Xiao En's vision, the defense deployment of Prometheus Star has already begun to take shape.

That is, using two S-class original energy converters can create a slightly weaker geomagnetic field, thereby providing the most basic defense for ground bases.

However, in the past hundreds of years, these two primary energy converters have never been operated at full power, and the equipment used to create the earth's magnetic field has never been used.

In Karl's words, it is still a question of whether the equipment that produces the geomagnetic field can be used normally, but the earth's core tunnel must be opened to connect the two military bases before the equipment can be activated.Only by activating this set of equipment can enemies from outer space be blocked.

Karl thought of this when the enemy launched an attack.

It's a pity that the liaison officer he sent to the "Nanji Star" base never came back, and shortly after the enemy landed on Prometheus, the tunnel train used to transport personnel and supplies was destroyed.For three days, Karl knew nothing about the situation at the Nanjixing base.

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking from underground, Karl has ordered the tunnel to be blocked.

Obviously, this is not a long-term solution.

"The attack came too suddenly. Although we took immediate action, the enemy landed on Prometheus and surrounded the base in less than four hours. None of the scouts I sent out came back alive, even if they I’m still alive, so I’m afraid it’s more ominous.” Carl sighed and said, “Although I don’t know what the enemy is doing, the destruction of the tunnel train in the center of the earth must be the enemy’s work. So far, the enemy has launched a total of more than 20 times. Although a large number of troops are invested in the attack each time, we have never dispatched attacking troops, otherwise we would not be able to hold on for so long. According to my speculation, the enemy must have focused on the south."

"Concentrate forces to attack the Nanjixing base?"

Karl nodded and said: "Anyway, we are a regular army with sufficient ammunition and supplies, and all of them have received strict military training. The quality of retired soldiers is not inferior to ours, but most of them are desperadoes, even if their individual combat effectiveness is very strong, they cannot fight collectively like the regular army."

"There is no doubt that the difficulty of attacking the Nanjixing base is much lower."

"If I were the commander of the Silicon Charm Legion, I would also attack the Antarctic Star base first."

Karl shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "If the Antarctic base falls, we won't be able to defend here. The enemy will break through the tunnel to the center of the earth sooner or later, and it won't take long. More importantly, as long as the enemy enters the center of the earth, they will be able to defend themselves." Control the entire Prometheus star."

"control?"

Carl gritted his teeth and said, "Turn Prometheus into a state that is not suitable for us to live in, and even impossible to survive here."

"What do you mean?"

Karl seemed a bit embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and said: "Although the plan to transform Prometheus was abolished due to the armistice agreement, in the past hundreds of years, the transformation work has been carried out in secret, but the progress is slow. After all, here is In the focus area of ​​both parties, any large-scale engineering operations will cause suspicion. So far, the main infrastructure of the transformation project has been completed, and what is missing is only an SSS-level primary energy converter and equipment for producing the geomagnetic field. If our Every move is under the surveillance of the Silicon Magic Alliance, so the enemy can use the same method to transform the Prometheus star, and even change the gravity of the ground."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and the others also widened their eyes in surprise.

"There is no technical difficulty in changing the intensity of gravity by distorting space. Silicon-based life can adapt to a stronger gravity environment. If the surface gravity of Prometheus is ten times stronger, ordinary soldiers can wear anti-gravity combat equipment." You can't even survive here, let alone fight. If it is a hundred times stronger, let alone me, an eighth-level soldier, I'm afraid even you won't be able to gain a foothold here."

Yang Yi sighed secretly, Carl was right, there is indeed such a possibility.

"It's a pity that we are too busy to take care of ourselves now, and we can't take care of other places at all. Besides, the base has been completely surrounded by the enemy, not to mention scouts, even unmanned reconnaissance planes can't fly out." Carl sighed. "Before you came, I was almost desperate."

"What do you want us to do?" Lin Feng asked directly.

Carl gritted his teeth and said: "The most urgent thing is to find out the situation of the Antarctic base. If the Antarctic base has fallen, then it is meaningless for us to stay here. We have to find a way to break through. If the Antarctic base has not fallen, we You have to keep fighting."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, expressing that she understood Karl's meaning.

"In addition, it is necessary to prevent the enemy from entering the center of the earth from other places."

"How to prevent it?"

"Although it is the easiest way to capture the Antarctic base and use the tunnel in the center of the earth, the enemy must have made second-hand preparations for the worst situation. As long as there is enough time, an earth dragon can drill a path leading to the center of the earth. The passage, the enemy may have already done so."

Lin Feng's brows twitched a few times, and his expression darkened.

"We can use the 'Shadow'." Shen Chengwen saw Lin Feng's thoughts, and said, "In addition, we can also dispatch scouts."

"Scout?"

Shen Chengwen nodded, and said: "Ordinary soldiers can't penetrate the enemy's encirclement, but soldiers can do it, and our people can act alone, with a maximum of two in a team. There are fewer people and smaller targets, and it is even more difficult to be discovered by the enemy. It’s just that we have to find the right direction. To put it simply, which place is the most suitable for the enemy to drill holes. The Prometheus star is so big, we can’t just look around aimlessly.”

"Actually, this is also the enemy's problem." Yang Yi said.

Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, and cast a questioning look at Yang Yi.

"Prometheus is a planet-level celestial body, so big that we cannot hold all places. Obviously, the enemy cannot occupy all places. Although the base is surrounded by the enemy, the enemy's commander will not be confident enough to think that it can The degree to which we are completely trapped. In other words, if Colonel Carl's speculation is correct and the enemy is trying to dig a hole, he will definitely send heavy guards. From the perspective of saving troops, the enemy will choose to be near the place where the troops are assembled , that is, somewhere near the South Pole or the North Pole." Yang Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "Obviously, in order to save time, the enemy will choose a valley with a lower terrain."

Shen Chengwen nodded thoughtfully, and looked towards Carl.

"Here." Karl pointed to the three-dimensional map. "This grand canyon is about 5000 kilometers away from the base, and the deepest part of the canyon is about [-] meters. It is the deepest canyon within a radius of [-] kilometers, and it is big enough to accommodate large troops, let alone a few earth dragons."

"So, we already know where to go to scout the enemy."

"It's better to be careful." Lin Feng glanced at Yang Yi and said, "Let the 'Shadow' go there first, and after we find the enemy, it's not too late for us to go there."

Lin Feng said so, and Yang Yi couldn't object, especially for others.
