Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 440 Due Diligence
In the center of the Weeping Basin, a huge building rose from the ground.

Although no special construction equipment was brought, which made the construction a bit troublesome, there are ships in the fleet dedicated to transporting equipment, and with the powerful strength of the Railing clan, a fortress level was built on this devastated planet. The barracks are obviously not difficult.

If there is special construction equipment, the progress of the project can be accelerated a lot, and the camp built is stronger.

Just, why build camp here?
Carlson didn't know, he was only following the orders given by the admiral of the fleet, and as the engineering director, he didn't need to know why.

In any fleet of the Ralink clan there is an engineering chief like Carlson.

This is not only the tradition of the Lei Ling clan, but also has a very important meaning.When they came to the Southern Alpha galaxy and launched a war against the indigenous civilization, each army of the Lei Ling tribe had personnel in charge of engineering and construction.It is precisely because of this that the Legion of the Leiling Clan is invincible.Although the combat effectiveness of the engineers is not very good, the barracks and defense lines built by the engineers played a vital role in the fierce battle.In the past thousands of years, the military engineers of the Leiling tribe have created many miracles.For example, during the first Greenwich War, the military engineers of the Ralink tribe transformed an asteroid into a space fortress in just one month, and blocked the pace of the Silicon Demon army here, providing a new way for other civilizations in the Milky Way Alliance. The time to complete the war mobilization was won, allowing other civilizations to form more legions, and only then did the subsequent strategic counterattack and final victory.

Obviously, building a fortress-level barracks here is nothing at all.

Although the resources on the slag planet have been mined long ago and have been abandoned for thousands of years, there are still many materials that can be used on this planet.Of course, most of the materials needed to build a camp are everywhere, which is the rock on any solid planet, silica to be precise.After simple processing of rocks, making them plastic can be used to build various infrastructures.

For example, that huge command tower.

The "commanding tower" is just a popular name, but it is actually the core of the barracks.Afterwards, the engineering staff will install a large-scale original energy converter to maintain the entire camp, convert the original energy into other energy sources, and transport the obtained energy to the various equipment and pipelines in the camp. Install an ecosystem that can maintain the entire barracks inside, completely changing the environment inside the barracks.

After the engineering staff completes these tasks, the Legion can move in.

According to the standards of the Lei Ling Clan Legion, even without any preparations, the engineering personnel can use the engineering equipment carried by the legion to build a military camp that is large enough to accommodate the entire legion within a day.If there is enough equipment, especially heavy equipment, an engineering unit can build a fort-level barracks that can accommodate a hundred legions and has complete protective facilities within ten days.

As long as the barracks are built, the Leiling clan army will be invincible.

Although the Railing Clan has the strongest military strength in the Galactic Alliance, what the Railing Clan Legion is good at is not offense, but defense.Relatively speaking, on the contrary, the Weaving Star Clan Legion is better at attacking.In the past thousands of years, the major victories won by the Leiling Clan Legion were almost all obtained through defense.To put it simply, as long as the Thunderling Clan Legion has a firm foothold on the battlefield, it means building a solid fortress and defense line. Few have been defeated by the enemy in defensive battles.The most important support of the Leiling clan army in defensive operations is the unbreakable barracks.

Relying on the fortifications with the barracks as the core, the Lei Ling army can block enemies ten times, or even a hundred times stronger than themselves.

In the "Battle of Solomon" in the first Greenwich War, the Thunderling Legion relied on a temporarily built fortress, and used ten legions to resist the attacks of nearly a thousand Silicon Demon legions on the Solomon asteroid. years until reinforcements arrived.This classic battle, which was recorded in the military textbooks of all civilizations, made the reputation of the Leiling tribe, and at the same time made the Leiling tribe's army famous far and wide.

It is also good at defense, so in the previous Greenwich Wars, the Lei Ling army was the mainstay on the battlefield.During the several Greenwich Wars, the main task of the Raling Clan Legion was to build, defend and control forward bases, while legions of other civilizations were responsible for attacking.The most representative one is the third Greenwich War. With the support and assistance of the Thundering Clan Legion, the Weaving Star Clan Legion's offensive strength was fully utilized. As a result, when the legions of other civilizations arrived on the battlefield, the Silicon Charm Legion had already was crushed.To put it simply, the Leiling Clan and the Weaving Star Clan defended and attacked, and with close cooperation, they defeated the army of Silicon Charm, which was personally commanded by the War Emperor.

This is the glorious history of the Leiling Clan Legion, of course Carlson knows it.

However, the current situation is not very ideal.

Although only ten legions followed the fleet, the commander of the fleet asked Carlson to build a fort-level barracks here that could accommodate a hundred legions, and it had to be completed within ten days.With enough heavy equipment, Carlson didn't find it much of a challenge.The problem is, there isn't enough heavy equipment, not even manpower.Carlson couldn't figure it out, there were only ten legions, why build a fort-level barracks that could accommodate a hundred legions?However, Carlson knew that the fleet commander's order most likely came from the Emperor Wanluo.This means that more Legions are definitely on their way and will arrive soon.

Wanluo Warlord mobilized a hundred legions?

You must know that even in the Fifth Greenwich War 1000 years ago, the Lei Ling clan only dispatched so many troops in three decisive key battles.If it is not a decisive battle, such as just holding or strengthening the defense line, ten legions are enough.

Don't forget, relying on a solid line of defense, ten Leiling clan legions are enough to withstand an army of silicon demons ten times their own.

Besides, Slag Star is in the central region, even if it is adjacent to the northern region, it is thousands of light years away from the fourth northern region. It is difficult for the army of silicon demons to launch a large-scale attack here, so the possibility of being besieged is very small.Now there are ten legions following the fleet, why is there any reason to send more troops, and there are one hundred legions?

Carlson couldn't figure out this kind of strategic issue, and didn't think much about it.

As a grassroots officer, all Carlson has to do is obey orders and act according to orders.As for why, it's not something he needs to figure out at all.

Of course, as a veteran of the Fifth Greenwich War, Carlson understood military discipline.

After the command tower of the barracks was completed, he did not slack off, and now is not the time to be slack.The command tower is only the core, and a complete barracks requires many other infrastructures.More importantly, what Carlson built here was a fortress-level barracks, that is, a fortress that could station a large number of legions, and the key to a fortress was a complete defense facility, so a solid outer line of defense had to be built.

According to the legion's construction procedure, when building a fort-level barracks, first complete the command tower, and then the crucial outer line of defense.The internal infrastructure should not be built until the perimeter defenses have been completed.Only in this way can the barracks be defended when attacked.

The question is, where are the enemies in this ghostly place?

Although Carlson came to Slag Planet for the first time, he had read relevant information and knew that this planet was abandoned thousands of years ago.

This is a barren planet, not only is there no one to settle here, even passing spaceships are rare.

Enemies of the Silicon Charm Alliance?
Obviously impossible, if there are silicon beasts on the slag planet, they would have been discovered by the fleet long ago.

Carlson still couldn't figure it out, but he still didn't think much about it.

As a conscientious project leader, after the completion of the command tower, he began to build the outer defense line.

Obviously, this is a chore.

Prior to this, the outer line of defense was in charge of three legions.Because it was only a temporary garrison, the legion built only some temporary fortifications outside the basin.Next, the engineering troops led by Carlson had to build permanent fortifications on this line of defense and replace the temporary fortifications built by the Legion one by one.If it's just an ordinary camp, the problem is not too big.However, what Carlson and the others want to build is a large camp that can accommodate a hundred legions.What's more terrible is that there are no residents on the slag planet, and all supplies have to be transported by spaceship, so it is necessary to set up a space for the spaceship to take off and land in the camp, as well as a warehouse for storing weapons, ammunition and other materials, so the scale of the camp is larger than usual. The situation has doubled, and the camp's outer defense line has become longer, and more fortifications need to be built.

Obviously, it is absolutely impossible to complete this fortress-level barracks within ten days.

Fortunately, the commander of the fleet was reasonable, and after Carlson explained the situation, he also made a concession, only requesting that the outer defense line be completed within ten days.

Even so, time is still very tight.

You know, the Weeping Plain is a huge crater with a radius of one thousand kilometers, and the length of the outer defense line is more than 6000 kilometers.Even according to the minimum standard, there are more than 600 permanent fortifications to be built every ten kilometers, and about [-] mobile force camps must be built.

Not to mention that Carlson only had engineering troops from three legions, even if all the engineering troops from ten legions came, they might not be able to complete the project within ten days.

Of course, the fleet commander thought that Carlson could do it, and Carlson could only believe that he could do it.

In any case, an order is an order, even if you don't have much confidence, you have to do your best, and you can't just slow down because you feel that you can't complete it.

It must be admitted that Carlson was a very responsible engineer officer.

After completing the construction of the command tower, he, like his engineering officers and soldiers, went to the outskirts of the basin and personally participated in the construction of the outer defense line.

The main reason is that there is not enough manpower, otherwise Carlson would not have worked so hard.
