The First Evolution C.574: Return to Watchfort

The reason for getting up in such a hurry was simple. Another batch of airdrop supplies has arrived. In this batch of airdrops, there was a standard supply station that was urgently needed.

Not only that, the armored bunker suffered another ambush again. 2 pieces of titanium steel alloy external armor were severely corroded and needed to be re-welded.

By the time Fang Linyan arrived at the construction site, Stassen seemed to have been here for a long time. He would give him pointers in his spare time.

Under Stassen’s guidance, Fang Linyan also gained a lot. This guy didn’t talk much, but he could get to the point in every sentence.

To put it in Stassen’s words: Being a welder is not just about holding a welding gun and following instructions. Especially military welding, it is related to the life and death of soldiers. Without rich practical experience, it will never be possible to achieve a decent success.

The supply station was different from the bunker, which only required argon-fluorine welding. In addition to considering the firmness between the welding spot, one must also pay attention to its ductility.

The supply station built by Stassen and Fang Linyan was the crystallization of the empire’s newly developed high-tech wisdom. In addition to having conventional functions, the supply station also had a lifting function.

As the name suggested, a supply depot was a warehouse that stored supplies. Unlike civilian warehouses, not only the safety of ammunition must be considered, but also its concealment to avoid becoming the enemy’s primary target.

That’s why federal scientists invented this supply station that could be lifted.

The supply station was small, resembling a 4*4*10 iron box. The top was equipped with a ventilation system with 2 fans. There were 2 closable entrances at the front and rear.

The steel plate was made of 150 mm thick alloy carbon steel, which couldn’t be penetrated even by heavy machine gun bullets with a fire rate of up to 800 meters per second.

In order to withstand air strikes, the supply station could be lowered underground when necessary, then covered by 2 thickened hinged bulletproof doors.

At the same time, this supply station was also multi-functional. It was not only equipped with an ammunition storage facility but also 15 field beds.

Welding at the supply station required some skills, because comfort and practicality must be taken into consideration. Under Stassen’s guidance, Fang Linyan had a deeper understanding of fusion welding, sub-welding, brazing, and gas welding. He benefited a lot from it.

Soon, the entire camp was almost completed, so Fang Linyan went to chat with Stassen. His casual remarks opened the horizon of Fang Linyan. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Stassen enjoyed alcohol, so there was a drinking session wherever he was.

Federal officers also had the habit of drinking 2 cups to relax after work, so Fang Linyan also became familiar with Jason, the combat commander, and his subordinates. They recognized Fang Linyan’s welding skills. Their relationship warmed up in no time.

However, just when the drinking session was in full swing, an orderly ran over and said,

“Engineer Stassen, Deputy Commander Hank requested to speak with you.”

After Stassen heard the message, he cursed and said,

“Fuck him, I hate being disturbed when I’m drinking!”

Then he turned around and left. After a while, a series of curses came from inside.

After a while, Stassen came out with a dark face, then he pointed at Fang Linyan and said,

“Boy, come with me. I was asked to work on a tough task just now. I happened to be short of manpower here, so I recruit you right now.”

Fang Linyan said,

“No problem, but my 2 friends have to come with me.”

Stassen snorted and said,

“I’ll give you 15 minutes to pack your luggage. The shuttle that will pick me up will arrive in 20 minutes. When the shuttle arrives, I want to see you waiting for me with your luggage at the landing site.”

So half an hour later, Fang Linyan and the other 2 were already on their way back to New Watchfort.

Before leaving, the quartermaster had already conducted an evaluation on their establishment of the outpost camp. Fang Linyan received 50 platinum points, and Vulture and Goat received 30 points as his assistants.

Stassen was very talkative with the co-pilot along the way.

They seemed to be familiar with each other. The co-pilot mentioned one thing during the chat. The mechanic who worked for them yesterday was an idiot. He made a mistake with the circulation system installation at the supply station.

Stassen said,

“This is the most common mistake that novices make. When installing the circulation system of the supply station, the transmission systems on the exhaust valve and the intake valve look exactly the same. It is easy to install them incorrectly. It will shut down the system after running for an hour.”

The co-pilot said,

“I don’t know much about the cause of the failure, but it is a fact that the toilet failed.”

“Then when this guy came to troubleshoot the problem, he went out to poop because he disliked the toilet being too dirty. As a result, he was bitten on the balls by a poisonous mosquito!”

“The doctor’s suggestion now is to cut off the thing on his crotch that has swollen to the size of an apple, and it is beginning to rot and ooze black water…”

Statham took a sip from the wine bottle and cursed with laughter,

“Hell, I believe that if he knew there would be such consequences, that unlucky guy would definitely choose to stay in that toilet for a day.”

After hearing this conversation, the 3 of them looked at each other and saw a chill in each other’s eyes.

Although this was a small probability event, it was enough to show that this place was dangerous.

This was not a safe metropolis, but a cruel environment where the strong prey on the weak. Even if it was a joke, it was still a bloody fact that reminded them that this place was very, very, very dangerous!

After the shuttle landed again at New Watchfort, Stassen was notified that there was an important matter to summon him back urgently

It was because the communication system of New Watchfort’s command center failed. The sensors showed that there should be a problem with the external line or relay station. Therefore, they couldn’t contact Mothership Lakshar. It had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

But now after 2 hours of repairs, not only had the connection with the mothership not been restored, but even the connection with other outpost camps and military bases had gradually been lost.

In this era, this was a very fatal problem!

Before the communication was completely interrupted, New Watchfort recalled all the mechanical engineers out there to solve the immediate problem first. Stassen was the first one to come back.

After clarifying the problem, Stassen motioned to Fang Linyan to follow him.

He asked Fang Linyan to accompany him to the command center to check the code of this fault. With the fault code, he could know the specific area where the fault occurred, the cause of the fault, etc.

The command center was established 40 hours ago. It was located in the center of New Watchfort. It looked like a giant hamburger, round at the top and flat at the bottom.

Different from bunkers, anti-air towers, and other facilities, the command center was made up of 6 giant components dropped from the mothership. It had its own flight function, which could be understood as a movable fortress. Its chassis had 16 variable direction thrusters, which allowed it to take off and land vertically or fly slowly at 6 miles per hour.

The bottom area of ??the command center was about 6,000 square meters, which was almost the same area as a football field. It was more than 20 meters high and was divided into 3 floors.

In addition to 16 plasma variable direction thrusters, the bottom area also had two large warehouses, which usually contained 20 SCIs and 4 “Leopard” armored personnel carriers, which were used to build defense facilities, collect resources, and provide basic defense.

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

On the top of the command center, 19 UYK-7 optical brains and 20 UYK-20 intelligent brains were integrated. There were also 22 tactical three-dimensional displays. These things together form the “Hermes battlefield operation system” that Star Consortium was proud of.

This thing was like the brain of the entire command center.

At the same time, an AN/SPY-1 multifunctional phased array high-power radar was sufficient to meet any needs of the commander. Its role was also irreplaceable, serving as the eyes and ears of the entire command center.

In addition, there was a heavy 320mm ultra-high pulse cannon on the top of the command center. Its longest range could reach 40km. It had its own fire control system that could accurately hit any target within the range.

At the same time, if covering suppressive firepower was needed, it could be replaced with a Krupp heavy cannon with a 400mm diameter in 5 minutes!

It could fire X-M185 remote sensing special artillery shells at a rate of 20 seconds.

After the X-M185 remote sensing artillery shell was launched with a muzzle velocity of 692 meters per second, it would go straight into the air 500 meters away from the target location.

Then the built-in parachute opened, and the information sensor inside the missile would search the target with the small internal radar.

Once the target was locked, the magazine of the X-M185 remote sensing artillery shell opened and poured 45 burning bullets downward, turning an area of 2 square kilometers into a sea of ????fire.
