Chapter 335 [Planet Orbit Airborne Assault Force]

The project on the back of the moon is being carried out in an orderly manner. The third batch of materials is ready. This batch of materials with a mass of [-] tons is engineering equipment and factory engineering materials. The fourth batch of materials is to transport a batch of lunar engineering vehicles. The first batch of materials is living supplies, and the sixth batch of materials is chemical equipment and refining equipment.

After the sixth batch of materials is delivered to the far side of the moon, Gu Cheng will own a small-scale manufacturing factory. At that time, there will be about 300 people on the moon.

After the delivery of the seventh to No.11 batches of materials is completed, the collection of ice materials from the Shackleton impact crater will also enter the sequence, and the ice materials will be continuously transported to the general base of the Mendeleev impact crater .

At that time, the lunar factory that has begun to take shape will start to operate. Once it starts, the production efficiency will increase exponentially. It will not be as slow as it is now, and the delivery of materials will continue to decrease. will be the main consumable.

But before that, the factory will not be the first to build an engineering robot production line, but to help Laomei extract 10 tons of helium three substances. After all, there is a delivery deadline. Yuemeng, take the money to do things, Gu Cheng is still very honest, as long as the three don't yell and go to Hengyin District, everything is easy to talk about.

All of this is progressing steadily according to the established plan, and will usher in a big explosion by the end of next year.

……

In an instant, the time came to 2022.

Gu Cheng's focus of work has been separated from the "Stars Project". This long-term space engineering project cannot be completed overnight, but right now, receiving the military's procurement order is the top priority.

On January 2022, 1, a certain military base.

Gu Cheng left Shangdu the morning before yesterday, and took a plane from the air force base on Chongming Island to a military base in the mainland. He didn't know how far he flew, but when he got off the plane, he saw that the surrounding area was surrounded by hills. Guess it's in the south.

"We have finally invited our national treasure-level genius, Mr. Gu, do you want to take a break from the long journey?" He was received by the base's supreme commander, Colonel Yue Bowen.

"What do you mean, it's okay to be tired after taking a flight?" Gu Cheng said with a smile.

"Haha, okay, then I'll invite you to the staff headquarters and we're discussing it." Yue Bowen said with a smile.

A few minutes later, Gu Cheng was invited to the interior of the base. Several other officers and staff were sitting together, getting to know each other, and after a brief exchange of greetings, they got to the point.

"Thanks to Mr. Gu's leading technology, our country has mastered the world's leading space technology. The military is considering setting up a planetary orbital airborne assault force in space. With armed intervention, the planetary orbital airborne troops can be dispatched for a quick counterattack." Yue Bowen opened the chatter box and began to speak freely.

Finally, the colonel's eyes fell on Gu Cheng who was sitting in the headquarters, and said: "To build such an army is not cheap at all, it requires a huge amount of money, but it is more expensive than the old American army with more than 400 bases all over the world." It is much more economical and economical to form a formation with an aircraft carrier, and the speed and efficiency of intervention are faster."

A staff officer attending the meeting nodded and said: "Yes, when our army has a quick response to planetary orbital airborne assaults, it can greatly make up for the serious shortage of our overseas military bases, and there is no need to go overseas to establish military bases. Once necessary, we can still achieve the same ability as the Americans to intervene in hotspots anywhere in the world, providing a strong backing for our country's legitimate interests abroad not to be violated."

A Skyblade fighter jet or a military-grade Skyblade transport plane has a unit price of 300 billion, which is so expensive that it makes people want to scold their mothers. Quite affordable and economical.

The U.S. imperialists want to maintain the deployment of hundreds of bases and aircraft carrier formations around the world, and spend 7000 billion U.S. dollars in military expenditures every year. It cannot maintain the normal operation of global military deployment.

The U.S. has established hundreds of bases around the world, giving it a powerful ability to quickly intervene in hotspots, but at the same time, it is not without cost, and the cost is quite heavy.

The first is the heavy economic burden, and the second is that the spread of the battle is too large, which also means that the defense area is also large. Once the iron plate is kicked, it is easy to ignore the head and the tail.

After a while, after everyone stopped, Gu Cheng spoke. He said: "When the military gave me the purchase order, it had already stated that it would build this orbital airborne force. Frankly speaking, this kind of low-earth orbital airborne assault is weak. The link is also too obvious, and it is easy to be attacked by base weapons, such as high-energy laser weapons deployed on the ground, directed energy weapons, and even interception by conventional air defense missiles."

Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed, Yue Bowen laughed and said: "Mr. Gu is also right, but the military has already thought of these problems. There is no absolutely perfect weapon or tactic in the world. Planetary low-earth orbit airborne assault The weak link is obvious, as you said, but the military still insists on doing it because it can have an absolute advantage in an asymmetric war."

Speaking of this, Yue Bowen looked at Gu Cheng again, and added: "There is only one situation that can cause the danger to the orbital airborne assault force as you said, and that is when it is delivered to the North American mainland. As for other countries, they basically do not have this interception capability, and once they reach that point, it will basically be an all-out war."

"Whether it is the current orbital airborne or traditional airborne operations, for paratroopers, it is to go deep into the enemy's rear, into the caves of dragons and tigers, and perform the most dangerous, craziest, and even suicide missions. To fight, there must be sacrifices. Sacrifice is unavoidable when necessary, kindness does not command soldiers."

After Yue Bowen finished speaking, another staff officer spoke immediately: "The military has also done some extreme simulations, not to mention intervening in asymmetrical hotspots. Even if the enemy's strength is comparable to our army, this deployment method is extremely fast. The aerospace transport aircraft responsible for the deployment mission can quickly skim the air defense network on the surface in outer space orbit, drop the airdrop pod vehicle in low-earth orbit and run away directly."

"After the airdrop cabin enters the high-altitude atmosphere, the paratroopers are ejected directly and continue to airborne. Compared with the traditional airdrop deployment method, if the enemy's anti-aircraft fire is concentrated, the entire transport aircraft and the soldiers in the cabin will be lost. The hit is only one person. It greatly increases the enemy's strike cost, and also greatly improves the survival probability and assault capability of our soldiers."

Gu Cheng couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. In this situation, it was almost a life-and-death bloody battle. An orbital airdrop dropped a division's troops, and tens of thousands of people were distributed on the spatial coordinates. Rabbits can really do this kind of thing.

In this case, no matter how powerful the air defense network is, it will be dumbfounded. This has broken through the critical value of air defense firepower. If the air defense missile is used, even if it hits 100%, it will have to launch more than 1 missiles. No country in the world has the ability to keep stock With tens of thousands of anti-aircraft missiles, what if three divisions are airborne in a row?It is impossible to stop it.

However, this situation is quite an extreme scenario. The possibility of a third world war breaking out is much smaller now, especially since the age of space exploration has begun. There are many territories and resources outside the earth, unless even the solar system Only when all the resources in the territory have been taken up will there be a possibility of a fight.

But for the military, it doesn't care when the fight will start. It only considers what can be fought and how to fight when the fight really happens.

"What about the airborne capsule? Who will provide it? Tianqing Technology Group has not started to develop the technology of the orbital airborne capsule at present." Gu Cheng asked suddenly.

"You don't have to worry about this. The National Academy of Space Technology will provide technical support for the airborne capsule, and the Aerospace Science and Technology Group will undertake the manufacturing task." Yue Bowen immediately answered him.

Gu Cheng nodded in amazement. The Academy of Space Technology provides airborne cabin technology, so it is based on the upgraded version of the Shenzhou series orbital cabin technology.
