Chu Jungui stood on the top of the mountain, watching a huge metal pillar slowly erected. This giant pillar, which was one thousand meters long and five meters in diameter, was erected on a small mountain peak one thousand meters above sea level. It was already close to
When the storm cloud is fully erect, the top is less than a hundred meters away from the storm cloud. Any weather change will cause it to insert directly into the storm cloud.
A small base has been built where the long metal poles are erected. Surrounding the base of the giant pillar are circles of energy storage cabinets, more than a thousand in number. Between the inner and outer circles of energy storage cabinets, several
There are thousands of double-leaf trees, and from a distance you can see a ring of woods.
The giant pillar finally stood up, and then the base was closed. After the last self-examination, Chu Jungui nodded, and a slight buzzer sounded from the base. The giant pillar slowly rose, and it went up for more than ten meters before stopping.
Above the giant pillar, the storm clouds were uncharacteristically calm. After a long time, a thin bolt of lightning shot down and carefully struck the top of the giant pillar.
This thin lightning also caused the entire body of the giant column to be filled with electric fire. Then a large number of streamers of electric fire rushed into the base, dispersed along dozens of huge pipe cables with a thickness of half a meter, and poured into the surrounding energy storage cabinets. First
The energy storage cabinets in the back row were all lit up instantly, and then the double-leaf tree behind them suddenly stood tall and straight, its leaves fully opened, and began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. The energy storage cabinets in the back row also began to light up, but the brightness was dimmed, and only the full
Half of the brightness.
Chu Jungui raised his hand and pressed down, and the giant pillar dropped another 10 meters. A moment later, another thin bolt of lightning shot down, and all the energy storage cabinets were full.
After the energy storage cabinets were completely full, the giant pillar began to descend, and it continued to fall for several hundred meters. There was no longer lightning in the storm clouds. A large number of work beasts came forward at this time, removing the fully loaded energy storage cabinets one by one, and then
Replace with new ones.
Now that the data has been summarized at Chu Jungui's place, this energy supply base alone is equivalent to 100 power furnaces running at full power. And this is just a test base, and the number of energy storage cabinets is only one-tenth of the planned plan.
, if it is operated at full power, just one energy supply base can support the energy needs of a city with a population of one million.
Taking energy directly from the storm clouds is indeed much more powerful than the indirect use of energy like a power furnace. But this is also because the behemoth returning to the storm clouds is secretly taking care of it. Otherwise, if you directly penetrate the storm clouds, let alone 5
Meters, even metal pillars with a diameter of 50 meters can be melted instantly, and all man-made structures on the ground can be restored.
The giant pillar rose and fell, and after going back and forth several times, it finally determined the appropriate height and fixed it. Every 10 to 15 minutes, a bolt of lightning would shoot down from the storm clouds. The work beasts began to store energy in the second circle.
More double-leaf trees can be transplanted outside the cabinet. These double-leaf trees absorb energy through energy cables and grow dozens of times faster than normal. Generally, they can be harvested and refined into Le Mans grains within ten days.
.
When the base is fully completed, there will be four circles of energy storage cabinets inside and outside, and more than one million double-leaf trees will be planted, and this is just a base.
Although energy has always been Chu Jungui's fundamental advantage, the sudden expansion made Chu Jungui a little uncomfortable. A base is nothing, but with the current production capacity of light years, it can be built in a few days.
Build an energy supply base. If you build a few more of these bases, there will be so much energy that you can't even use it up for soil refining.
For a moment, even Chu Jungui didn't know how to squander the energy. There are only so many ways to consume energy for the time being. It's like a person trying to eat hundreds of millions no matter how much he eats and drinks.
, it is absolutely impossible to do the same.
The newly added energy did not fundamentally change the situation of the battle, because the enemy he faced was too powerful. After these few days of fighting, Chu Jungui discovered that there were several more Marine Corps numbers on the opposite side, and many more.
The equipment has been equipped with accessories that are more suitable for the environment of Planet 4.
Judging from the troop numbers alone, the number of marine troops deployed by the Federation to the planet has reached 300,000, and it is not ruled out that the number will continue to increase. As for equipment modification, it is expected.
In the days of William's young generals, the main enemy they faced was the beast tide. At that time, the Federation did not have the motivation to develop equipment specifically for this planet, and it was not economically cost-effective. Therefore, the Federation forces were developing a series of indigenous weapons.
Chu Jungui, who used advanced equipment, was defeated again and again.
But now that the Federation has invested hundreds of thousands of ground troops, and even has an entire fleet stationed in outer space, it will naturally develop special equipment for Planet 4. As batches of special equipment are developed and put into use, it is conceivable that
Chu Jungui's equipment advantage will quickly shrink, and the battle will become increasingly difficult to fight.
Fortunately, Brother Dao is fat enough to grow fast as much as he eats, and he can still be cut for a long time.
Chu Jungui did not stay to watch the completion of the energy supply base, and returned to the temporary base. A dozen Arks formed a circle, with the unfolded federal landing ship in the center. This is now the temporary base of Lightyear. Except for three Arks used as
Except for the fire support Ark, the rest have been fully functional and turned into mobile factories. Fortunately, a large number of federal landing ships were captured, which gave Chu Jungui enough carrying capacity to transport the troops from the front base.
Most of the equipment and supplies were shipped out.
Now it only takes half a day for this temporary base to re-enter mobile mode and then transfer in all-terrain mode at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
On one of the arks, there is also a complete set of war beast breeding equipment, which is the kind of equipment that Brother Dao used. This is another gift from the big guy in the storm clouds to Chu Jungui. It is just the same as from the storm.
Compared with directly absorbing energy from the clouds, the significance of this gift is actually very limited.
Nowadays, human beings have actually developed to a very high level in life science and technology. For example, the training equipment used by Chu Jungui to make working beasts is not much worse than the war beast training equipment, and because he has completely mastered the principles, it can be used
Continuously improve and expand the scale at will. Therefore, the equipment used by Brother Dao is actually of no use anymore, but it is another set of systems and principles, which has great reference significance. If it is in a dynasty or a federation, it must be like this
Obtain the treasure, because it is an important tool for studying the ideas of another civilization. But now Chu Jungui must first win this human civil war. Alien races and other things are too far away.
Chu Jungui's thoughts returned to the war itself, and began to spread. Until now, the war can be said to have achieved its original intention, which is equivalent to dragging two and a half front-line armies of the federation on this small planet. Now there is Xianli
, Chu Jungui felt that he needed to think clearly about a question, a question that he had never been willing to think about.
Why is there a war and what does he want to gain from it?
