Chapter 176 Forming the ODST
The long line of troop carriers meandered on the Gobi desert in western Xinjiang. The scorching sun scorched the barren sand and stone fragments, and even the metal of the car body shell was roasted hot.
A [-]-kilometer radius here has been classified as a military restricted area. The sparsely populated residents in the surrounding area have all been relocated and resettled after the swarms began to attack sporadically. The desert Gobi area has become a natural unmanned experimental area.
The sources of this convoy of fighters belong to a very mixed group of units, ranging from the old main force of the 70th to 80th group army, to the newly formed 106th group army fighters, there are a mixture of recruits and veterans.
There is no public or semi-public selection process for this troop transfer. It is mainly organized by company or even battalion-level unit. With a single order, these soldiers were transferred to the Gobi Desert, just like their predecessors half a century ago, they came here Open up a new battlefield.
"Don't ask what you're doing, don't ask where you're going."
This is the marching discipline of the army, which is constantly conveyed verbally on the communication channel and among comrades-in-arms with various accents from all over the world, but the transmission is extremely accurate and efficient, which is the embodiment of the steel-like discipline of the army.
In a desolate place that was no different from other places, the convoy gradually stopped. Under the unified command, the whole army got out of the car neatly and quickly, sorting out their equipment and carrying equipment.
This temporary unit did not carry much combat equipment. Except for the exoskeleton and supporting individual firearms, it did not even bring the soldiers' favorite barrels and pistol sticky grenades.It's not that they are at the current level of technology, and they still can't deal with reliable new energy vehicles in harsh environments. They just live thriftyly and live at home. These old equipment can continue to be used as long as they can use their waste heat, which just matches the remnants of the withdrawal of old industries.
As far as the eye can see, first of all, several temporary camp tents and modular command cabins have been built. A large number of military camp construction modules and various base construction materials are now being air-dropped by Raven transport planes. Starting from the place of production, it was thrown into this barren land.A large number of engineering troops and unmanned machines are busy on the construction site, and a large-scale war training base is taking shape.
After the troops got off the car, they formed a very fast and concise team, and stood in a quiet and silent square according to their new troop numbers. After the sound of the boots stamping on the ground and the counting ended, there was no unnecessary noise except the wind in the desert. .
"Reporting to the commander, Li Zhiling, battalion commander and interim political commissar of the first phase of the Planetary Orbital Airborne Commando Training Battalion, is reporting to you. There should be 3430 people, but 3430 people actually arrived. All are in place, please give instructions."
The person Li Zhiling reported was a peculiar white-haired major general officer. Years of aggressiveness and training gave her a capable aura. Already has the temperament of a high-ranking officer.
"Take a break."
"Have you done all the mobilization?"
"Report to the commander, it has been done."
"Okay, then don't dry out, arrange a camp to assist in the construction, and start combat training as soon as possible."
Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, also known as ODST, is a special unit that descends from space to the ground in an attack cabin to launch an attack. Nodes implement three-dimensional strikes from orbit to achieve physical destruction.
In short, it can play a strategic role similar to the airdrop used by the Zerg during the German campaign.
This deployment method is very fast. The ships in charge of the deployment mission can quickly pass over the planet and drop hundreds of airdrop pods to escape quickly, or they can take the lead in dispatching frigates to infiltrate the star surface through the gap in the defense line during a frontal battle, and carry out countermeasures. The destruction of the ground strategic system thus plays an auxiliary role in frontal orbital warfare.At the same time, ODSTs use the unique deployment method of drop-shaped individual airborne pods. Compared with the loss of a whole ship of soldiers when a troop carrier is hit by anti-aircraft fire, even if the ODSTs are hit, they only lose one person.
The airdrop capsule used is called "Personnel Delivery Vehicle", abbreviated as HEV in English, it is a teardrop-shaped airdrop capsule made of A-grade titanium alloy, superconducting alloy, and ceramics. It is considered to be very dangerous because of the high temperature and G-force impact on people when re-entering the atmosphere.
When the HEV airdrop pod is 3000 feet above the ground, the computer system will automatically pop up the tail parachute to slow down the speed and keep the airdrop pod in the correct posture. When it reaches 50 meters from the ground, the computer will ignite the rocket braking system of the airdrop pod to further reduce the falling speed of the airdrop pod until it is airborne Finish.But sometimes these braking systems will fail due to violent shaking when entering the atmosphere and being hit by anti-aircraft fire, causing the airdrop pod to hit the ground at full speed and cause the death of the occupants.
HEVs are also used to carry weapons, food, ammunition, radios, and even small bedrooms for temporary shelter.
The establishment of ODST is an urgent and important military construction task at present, and it is considered by the company to be more important than the training of fleet crews.
Due to the high-tech characteristics of giant war vehicles, the fleet can be operated by Cortana and the ship's mother, so there may be no combat power if there are few people or even no one.But as long as they don't plan to directly smash Mars, the swarm deploys various defensive facilities on the ground. With the current orbital firepower, there is really no way to wipe them all out. Then it is necessary to send ground troops, and there is no way at this time. , must have an elite galaxy land combat force.
The main body of land combat forces headed by the fleet is now being formed, and this elite force for orbital deployment and orbital airdrops needs to be cultivated as early as possible, and try to develop various tactics and improve various unreasonable places during the campaign.
The troops plan to participate in battles on the earth now, try to get used to this fighting style, and improve their actual combat capabilities. Then, the lunar battle that is being intensively prepared will be the first test of their honor.
The current ODST organization is organized into one division, numbered 200 divisions, but the actual number of personnel in the first phase is only 3000, and it is estimated that less than half of them can finally pass the training and assessment and become an army.Of course, the second and third phases of training are already under preparation, and with the experience of the first phase of training, the scale will be even larger.
This division is currently attached to the Enterprise's New Era-class aircraft carrier strike group.Although this ship has not been materialized at present, there is no means of maintenance after all, but a Paris-class frigate has now been exchanged, and will perform their carrying and various training tasks.
At the same time, the country's own capital ship building plan has also been launched. With physical reference and current technology accumulation, the most complex and huge nuclear fusion power unit has been prepared when manufacturing the Bismarck hull, and a set of technology has been cultivated. The system and personnel team, I believe that the research and actual manufacturing of the hull will not wait for a long time.
Of course, considering the resource consumption of its own approaching 200 million metric tons, the current ability to build horses is still a bit urgent.
Nowadays, the construction cycle of surface ships has been due to the leap of science and technology. In the past, the capital ships, including the large ships of the [-]-ton main aircraft carrier, did not take more than half a year. If it is really necessary to explode the ship production, there is no technical problem. There has been no large-scale shipbuilding. Give resources to starships in the province.
But at present, it seems that the resource devouring ability of Starfleet is still underestimated.If it wasn't for the fact that Pioneer sent a strike group and had to build it on its own, the domestic strike group would be enough to handle it.
Moreover, the manufacturing cycle of these interstellar ships has also come back all of a sudden. Just like the manufacture of surface ships for several years to build an aircraft carrier, it still takes time to manufacture ships with the same level of technology.With the current domestic industrial capacity, the "small man" of the Paris class needs a starship factory with full power for a year and a half before it is basically formed, various sea trials, habitat installations, troubleshooting, etc., The period for the actual formation of combat effectiveness is similar to that of the previous 055 from the start of construction to the final entry into service.
Of course, it’s still the same sentence. The problem is really not the technology, but the ship and others.
Recently, the company has been busy building this fleet that is already worthy of a battle. From the ship personnel to the ODST, she is in charge of everything. With the help of Cortana, she is generally in good order. The training over the years is still a lot. Those who are motivated are qualified as a manager.As a commander, as well as the status of a fighter, how much progress has been made needs to be further tested in the future.
PS: This is the Charon-class light frigate. The size of the hull looks smaller than the Paris-class, but there are obvious differences in armor, firepower, and tonnage. After all, it is the difference between light and heavy.
One thing to say, on the picture where the fire was fired, I noticed that the ship logo is a five-pointed star, which is quite good, adding some elements is almost the same_(:з」∠)_
Chapter 177 The Kitchen Goddess
The ODST base in the Western Xinjiang Desert has been rapidly formed. The troops have already started theoretical study and some initial physical training. A large number of Raven transport planes above the base are still busy. Later, they will take them for airborne training in the upper atmosphere, and then Get into track training.
However, the country is now somewhat dissatisfied with the Raven transport aircraft. After all, this transport ship is not bad in the earth's atmosphere and low-Earth orbit, but it is not an interstellar transport aircraft after all. If you want to go to the moon, Mars or even exoplanets, the Raven The performance has been unable to keep up.
Similar to this situation, various early counterfeit UNSC equipment equipped in China now also need to be formally upgraded, and strive to reproduce the original performance.For example, the long-coveted A-level titanium alloy armor plate has been unlocked. With them, the survivability of various ground vehicles will be improved, and the main hull materials of the future self-built Starfleet Also grade A titanium alloy.
At present, military war equipment such as the Pelican transport plane, the Scorpio tank body and various derivative models, and the unmanned transport system have already been approved.In the new five-year plan put forward by the central government, we will strive to realize the basic "futurization" of military equipment as soon as possible. To some extent, it can actually be understood as "halo".
Of course, things like Thor's Hammer armor are really flashy for the current Republic. They don't have the resources and financial resources to do it, and then the body modification technology is a big hurdle. Otherwise, no one will wear it. It doesn't make sense.
Hmm, maybe the ship girl can try it?Spartan ship girl warrior?But that would not be able to use the ship equipment, and it belongs to throwing watermelon for sesame seeds.After all, Thor's Hammer armor is individual equipment. Its defensive power is comparable to that of a ship's A-grade titanium alloy armor with a thickness of several meters, and even the energy shield module of future ships is indeed incomparable. , There is no comparison between the projection ability of an individual soldier and the main gun of a battleship.
However, developing new equipment in an all-round way does not mean completely copying UNSC stuff.Based on the many situations faced on the actual battlefield, the use habits of the troops themselves, as well as the war experience and war theories formed in the past, the Republic has its own needs.
For example, large-scale unmanned and intelligent military construction is different from UNSC, and has even been tested in some special forces. Each soldier is equipped with several small and medium-sized unmanned platforms ranging from reconnaissance to firepower output. The team can hit the firepower density of more than one platoon in the past, and the loss of personnel is greatly reduced.The idea is similar to the Air Force's manned and unmanned aircraft formation, but it is really easy to use. Under the circumstances that today's technology can be realized, it can maximize the grassroots combat effectiveness.
Another example is the use of large-scale exoskeletons. As early as the last five-year plan, the first batch of exoskeletons was urgently deployed to the entire army. Later, following the troops on various battlefields, they all proved their actual value.Soldiers run faster, jump higher, have stronger endurance, carry more weight, and have stronger battlefield information perception capabilities and individual combat effectiveness, which can effectively improve combat effectiveness and reduce casualties.
Otherwise, the United States will rely on mechas and Zerg's heavy armored troops, and if its own soldiers do not have these exoskeletons, the caliber and density of firepower that can be projected will drop by a whole level. Then in the Southeast Asian battlefield, the current loss of personnel is very likely increased badly.
However, the army is still very interested in UNSC's liquid gunpowder. This black-tech liquid gunpowder called "octanitrocubane" has an explosive power of more than 10 tons of TNT equivalent in a small cube.There are also some derivatives, such as the high-energy shaped explosive numbered C12, which is 4X4X4 inches in size and can instantly flatten heavy buildings with more than five floors. It is very useful for military blasting explosives or barrier-breaking weapon fillings.
It's just that the current production cost is still too high, and there are still a series of industrial technical problems to be solved before mass production. It is not as good as the electromagnetic firearms that can be produced by ourselves.
For example, the current perfectly reproduced ARC-920 rail gun is an artifact for grassroots troops to deal with Zerg heavy armored ground units. It is the same as the attack and defense of tanks and anti-tank weapons on the Soviet-German battlefield. It tore apart the flanks of thousands of hunters. rear armor.
However, the company is not in the mood to think about the relationship between Jianniang and Thor's Hammer, because she has gained a new important partner in this ODST training base.
After a lapse of several years, scientific research resources finally had a certain amount of spare time, so the company finally invested the resources that had been prepared in the fleet roulette in the spare time of the establishment of ODST.
The previous technology roulette is so lucky, and the company plans to take advantage of its own good luck.Although the two "character pools" and "weapon pools" may not be related, and even have a negative correlation according to the law of conservation of luck, but metaphysics highlights an aura. If you feel discouraged when you come up, and feel that you are going to sink, then you will probably die.
At least as far as Bai Mao's own experience is concerned, this statement is very reasonable.
"I am the Vesta who is in charge of maintenance full-time. If you feel uncomfortable, please ask me. However, if you think I am a logistics officer and underestimate me, you will suffer a loss."
The newly appeared young girl with big breasts, but full of the feeling of a big sister and even a wife, expressed her identity as soon as she came up.
The enterprise looked at the kitchen god, and said something, and suddenly a strange idea popped up in his mind-could it be that this pioneer is Baimaokong?
Whether it's me, Befa, or the Vesta, they are all standard white hair. Bismarck is a special case who got mixed up halfway and doesn't even have a hull.
However, when the enterprise rubbed its chin and frowned while thinking about this serious and nonsense question, the girl opposite her was more surprised than her.
"Commander, you..." The Kitchen Goddess was going to say hello normally, she was familiar with this Commander who had a good impression but had never met in person, then she looked up and saw a figure she was very familiar with and liked.
"Huh? Commander? You?!"
She was startled, if it wasn't for the soul connection telling her that the person in front of her was indeed the commander, she even thought that the company that came out first was teasing herself.
Well, although she doesn't seem to be such a leisurely person, but she is a woman, who can say for sure?
"Me? What's wrong with me?"
Enterprise subconsciously looked down at himself, except for the new general uniform, it seemed that nothing was different from before.
If I have to say it, I feel...Compared to before, I can't see my toes a bit?
"It's broken. Is it possible that I'm fat? The ship's mother shouldn't grow any longer, right?"
Before she finished muttering, she felt that her arms were suddenly filled with a warm body, and when she looked up in surprise, she found a very satisfied girl's big face up close.
"The commander is actually Miss Enterprise, this is simply double happiness!"
"Wait...don't..."
"Don't move! Let me rub!"
"...err...you please please..."
In a strange place, the suddenly tough female kitchen god catches Baimao off guard, so she has to make her mess around.There is one thing to say, but fortunately, the appearance of the female kitchen god is relatively young, she looks like a younger sister acting like a baby.Otherwise, if you imagine Bismarck hugging yourself like this, the picture might be a bit...
PS: ARC-920 rail gun reference picture.There is no need to refer to the picture for the female kitchen god o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o
Chapter 178 Fleet Building and the German Civil War
I thought it would be a battle ship girl, but I didn't expect an assistant to come. Of course, it doesn't mean that this is not good, because unlike Bai Mao, these real ship girls have skills.
For example, Vesta brings her own two skills of damage control and regular maintenance, as well as a special passive that has some bonuses to the fleet.
On battleship girls like Beifa and Bismarck, these skills are actually not very useful, because the technological weapons provided for them are too powerful. To have power, to have range, to have range, to be accurate, to be defensive, to be defensive, It doesn't make much sense to increase it a little more, but increasing the penetration will also cause over-penetration.
But on the auxiliary ship girl, this meaning is different, comparable to Minsk's magic damage control.
Imagine that two main fleets are fighting, and both sides are in a mess. At this time, one side gives itself a buff of unknown principle, and the fleet status recovers. Then the war situation is basically doomed.
However, it should be noted that these damage management and maintenance skills of the Kitchen Goddess are temporary.That is to say, although the damaged hull can be blocked by certain substances with unknown principles for a period of time, it still has to return to the port for repairs after the skill takes effect.
Damage control, after all, is a temporary solution, there is no problem with that.
Responding to the ship's mother, it's probably like a temporary bandage or something to deal with the battlefield.
Regarding the distribution of the Vesta God, it is still planned to use the steel on the blade and put it in the strike group of the New Era-class aircraft carrier. After all, the Republic's space force has just started construction, and it is not complete in all aspects, including the damage management and maintenance system.If there is an emergency battle and damage occurs, it is really difficult to deal with it at present. If there is a female Vesta, it can provide part of this ability.
Of course, the Kitchen Goddess is very satisfied with this, after all, she can rub the white hair, the so-called rubbing the white hair makes life more fun.She has a good personality and is very innocent and cute. Her only hobby is rubbing white hair balls. As the commander of the fleet and the commander of the ship's mother, it's okay to ask her to rub it. This can probably be regarded as a mobilization for combat. part of the job?
The only good news is that Miss Kitchen God is still very considerate of the majesty of her commander as the commander of the fleet, and she still gives the commander face in front of the soldiers every day, otherwise the capable temperament that Baimao has finally formed over the years I am afraid that the majesty of the officers and officers will be gone again.
In general, apart from her role as an auxiliary ship girl, she can probably be regarded as a clingy big sister, even though she looks relatively criminal.
However, the company and the Vesta will not be alone for too long. After the affairs of the ODST training base are on the right track, the company will go back to work on the fleet.Including the inspection of several large-scale starship manufacturing plants that are currently kept secret, I have to take a trip, mainly to help solve some technical problems. If there is a problem with the coordination of the ongoing battle, it is best to bring it up as soon as possible.Because the starship shipyard is already full of orders, after the ship is out of the dock, it will be very troublesome to come back to modify it.
At present, the self-built ships of the Republic are mainly "small" frigates. The weight of a ship with a length of one kilometer often starts at several million tons. At present, there are many technical difficulties in building on the ground. It is better to directly build a space dock.As the backbone of the fleet, cruisers of one or two kilometers are still very important.
The navy's current plan for the fleet is to use the Paris-class frigates as the main body of the fleet, not counting the existing ones. The first batch of 8 ships were built at the same time. The main flagship is currently centered on the new era-class aircraft carrier that the company will own, and the construction of a space dry dock After that, the construction of cruisers and destroyers will begin. As for super capital ships above battleships, that is not considered for the time being. After two more five-year plans, they may barely have this strength, but when the resource gap and war need battleships at that time, Still a problem.
At present, there are three fleet factories in the first batch, and the second phase plans to expand four more in the central and western provinces, basically distributed in the provincial capitals or industrial cities of each province, so that the annual production of more than 4 Paris-class frigates can be achieved.Of course, this is incomparable to the real UNSC. After the war, they were beaten into cripples, and they can casually explode hundreds of capital ships a year, which is even more incomparable with the heyday of hundreds of colonial galaxies. It is a huge gap in the stock of industrial base, not a gap that can be caught up with technology.
At the same time, the construction of the space dock is also planned to start, but before that, the low-orbit airspace needs to be cleaned up again to ensure the safety of the construction activities and the subsequent safe operation, otherwise it is to insert eyes in other people's springs. The food was delivered.
This can only be said to be a somewhat cumbersome but not difficult and dangerous task. It is very suitable for the current junior fleet to carry out, and to accumulate some valuable actual combat experience in low-intensity battles. No matter how good the construction is, it is still a subjective thing that has not been tested. Whether it is correct or not has to be tested in actual combat.
The battle is expected to start on August 8th. The relatively well-trained crew of the Roman Dagger Fleet will participate in the actual battle. The other ships are basically replaced by artificial intelligence. The level of training is too poor, and the complicated ship equipment system has not yet been figured out. Well, of course, don't even think about actual combat.Now if one ship is damaged or even sank, it will be very painful for the entire navy.
After all, a Paris-class frigate is more than 500 meters long. The 005-ton aircraft carrier on the surface of the earth is only about [-] meters long. The width and height are incomparable. The cost of the entire project is at least higher than that of building a [-] Two grades, it would be heartache to lose one.
