In the next week, the 7th Marine Corps fought steadily, with restraint in its fierce offensive. It advanced step by step and advanced another 3,500 kilometers. Counting the more than 2,000 kilometers advanced in the previous three days, it was now only a few kilometers away from Chu Jungui's new base.
There are 5,000 kilometers left.
The reason why the distance is not much closer is simple: the direction of advancement is a bit off.
Chu Jungui had tried to fight with the 7th Army more than ten times, using various tactics, and even the super-sized sea urchin appeared once. However, this time the sea urchin failed to make any achievements again, and the 7th Army did not act like
The last time Morgan used anti-matter bombs like that, he directly called in 500 assault boats. After a burst of extremely fierce firepower... Chu Jungui had to make another earth escape.
Although in terms of military expenditure, the loss ratio of both sides in this wave reached 1:60. After all, the assault boats cost money every minute and every second. But under normal circumstances, Chu Jungui would definitely not be able to consume the Federation, even 1:600.
.
Deep underground, Zhizhe and Kaitian were carrying Chu Jungui through quickly while complaining unwillingly: "What's so great about it is that there are so many people! It's like we can't do it."
The wise man made a small stab in a sad manner: "If Brother Dao is willing to eat well, of course we can. But now..."
Kaitian said: "We have to rely on that bald man to do this. He has to work harder."
The wise man said: "I think the direction of his research is a bit biased. It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not, as long as he can gain weight. Really, that bald man talks all about humanitarianism. In my opinion, if Brother Dao cannot be humane, it is the greatest
of humanity!”
"That's right, wasn't this the same idea in the past when raising chickens and feeding pigs?"
Chu Jungui lay quietly on the two little guys, thinking alone. In fact, his injury this time was not serious, but his speed moving underground was far inferior to Kaitian and Wise Man. These two guys borrowed human technology.
, now it is completely a molecular-level underground boring machine, the kind that integrates excavation, fixation, and storage.
It has been 10 days since the 7th Marine Corps landed. They laid down the shadow of doomsday the next day. Of course, what they acquired was only an empty city. In the successive battles, Lightyear lost a total of 1,200 tanks and 30 machines.
A, there were more than 200 casualties, and the rest of the losses were combat beasts. The 7th Army only lost 300 tanks and 20 assault boats, and the loss of mechas was only single digits. Of course, from the perspective of military expenditure, then
That’s not how it works anymore.
Since the founding of Lightyear, this was the first time that Chu Junhui had a head-on battle with the federal ace force. After ten days of fighting, except for the troops directly controlled by the wise men and Kaitian who had the upper hand, the human warriors of Lightyear and the land warriors had the upper hand.
Compared with the Seventh Army, they are actually at a disadvantage across the board.
The lack of individual combat power is largely made up for by unparalleled tactical command. It takes light years to fight with the 7th Army. And the commander of the 7th Army is not an ordinary person. He will do it almost every day.
After adjusting and improving tactics, the combat effectiveness of the entire 7th Army has been raised to a higher level. Such an opponent can no longer be described as an ordinary famous general.
Half a day later, Chu Jungui returned to the Ark, which was used as a temporary command base, and his body had been repaired. After coming out of the medical cabin, Chu Jungui came to the map.
His position is now 1,000 kilometers away from the vanguard of the 7th Army and 4,500 kilometers away from the energy base. Chu Jungui raised his hand and the map switched to the area where the new energy base is located. It can be seen that on the edge of the map, a total of 20 Arks are moving
They go hand in hand and slowly push over a small hill. Wherever they pass, the ground altitude will drop by 5 meters. They can go back and forth several times a day, and a small hill with a height of 100 meters will disappear.
Countless amounts of earth have been dumped into Ark-type refining furnaces. These refining furnaces are 10 times larger than the largest refining furnaces in the past. An Ark is a refining furnace, and each furnace can process thousands of tons of raw materials at a time. To put it bluntly,
, that is, it can refine thousands of tons of soil and turn it into various raw materials within half an hour. Currently, three million-ton refining furnaces have been built, and three more are under construction.
Chu Jungui looked at a completed design drawing and another design drawing that was only 20% complete. He finally made a decision and directly arranged the completed design drawing for production.
Two giant manufacturing machines began to lay down materials layer by layer to print the latest designed tanks. The only difference from the past was that this manufacturing machine could print 9 tanks at the same time.
The newly designed tank is not much different from the previous one, except that the human driver is removed and all is operated by combat beasts. The tank's defense is increased by half, its firepower is increased by half, and its overall combat power is equivalent to that of the 7th Army tank.
80%, but the cost has not increased much.
The design of the new tank has a disposable flavor everywhere. Except for the replaceable battery, other parts are basically disposable. For convenience, some parts are simply fixed and packaged directly in the body. This is a great improvement.
The defense of the tank also greatly reduces the difficulty of manufacturing.
When the 13 energy bases are fully completed, the daily production capacity of various materials in the new base will exceed 5 million tons, and the production capacity of combat vehicles will exceed 2,000 vehicles.
Firepower is another factor. No matter how high the tank production capacity is, biomass explosives will not be able to keep up. Now tens of thousands of square kilometers around the energy base have turned into desert, and all the woods and grasslands have either been transplanted or dug out for refining.
In terms of quantity, no matter how dense the vegetation is, it is far inferior to the soil and rocks.
Fortunately, this problem was solved a few days ago.
The micro wormhole transmission device that had not been used for a long time suddenly started to move, and Dr. Zero sent over two samples and a design drawing.
The sample is now in Chu Jungui's hand. It is two prismatic crystals, about the size of a little finger. These two crystals are advanced versions of metallic hydrogen. They are special crystalline alloys that consume a lot of energy during the manufacturing process.
, and at the same time, the stable crystal structure will be destroyed under certain conditions, thereby releasing a large amount of energy. In other words, this is an explosive with one level higher energy than biomass explosives. The standard mass of the two crystals is only 100 grams, but the explosion equivalent is
Equivalent to 100 kilograms of high explosives. Their raw materials are not difficult to obtain, and their main consumption is massive energy.
Chu Jungui weighed the crystal in his hand, raised his hand a little, and switched the screen again.
A huge cylindrical machine tens of meters high appeared on the screen, with multiple thick cables one meter in diameter connecting the equipment and the energy base. As terrifying currents poured into the equipment, the raw materials inside melted instantly, and then
It gradually crystallized in the powerful force field, and finally countless crystal pillars poured out from under the device.
Crystal explosives can be detonated with ordinary explosives. That is to say, if crystal pillars are inserted into ordinary warheads and the gaps are filled with biomass explosives, the power of the shells will be increased by more than ten times in an instant. The key is that with nearly unlimited energy
With the supply, the theoretical production capacity of crystal pillar explosives is also unlimited. Now as long as Chu Jungui is given some time, he can give the 7th Marine Corps a taste of what real firepower coverage is.
What Chu Jungui needed now was time, and it didn't take long. He switched back to the defense line of the 7th Army. As soon as he realized, several small-scale troops appeared on the edge of the map and began to harass them.
At the rear base, the wise men were discussing an improved fattening plan with Le Mans. Faced with the 17 improvement plans proposed by the wise men, Le Mans' bald head kept dripping with sweat. However, it will take time to improve the formula, and it can be implemented immediately.
The only solution is to improve breeding methods.
With the mature design drawings in hand, it only took half an hour to complete the entire transformation project. Now the molecularized food is no longer placed, but sprayed. The powerful jet can ensure that the food penetrates two-thirds of Brother Dao's body. Front and back
The difference between the two methods is roughly the difference between natural free-range breeding and stuffing.
At the same time, the rotation speed of the equipment is greatly accelerated, which can ensure that the sprayed food can evenly spread around the body under the action of centrifugal force and come into contact with more body cells. This is equivalent to giving a massage after eating to aid digestion.
Both of these methods are physical. Wise men have also proposed more chemical methods, but further experiments are needed. As for several energy field methods, they need to be further improved.
Wise men believe that humans were able to compress the growth cycle of a chicken from several years to one and a half months in the original home planet era. Now that we are in the 35th century, there is no reason why Brother Dao cannot be twice as fat in half a month.
In contrast, Kaitian's resentment towards Brother Dao is not so deep, and it feels that 20 days is acceptable.
Chu Jungui relied on patience to deal with the 7th Army bit by bit, waiting for the formation of the rear force. At the same time, General Morgan looked at the white map in front of him, and his patience was almost exhausted.
The progress of the 7th Marine Corps was indeed obvious. They explored and occupied millions of square kilometers of area in ten days. But the problem was that the areas they explored were all deserted, and there was no base or artificial activity at all.
Traces. The light-year troops still appear like ghosts from all directions and irregularly. For this reason, Morgan has had several quarrels with the commander of the 7th Army, but to no avail. Sometimes the quarrel is too loud, and the commander
Simply step back and let Morgan choose the direction of exploration. How can Morgan choose? He knew very well that after laying down the shadow of doomsday, the only way to find Chu Jungui's lair was through Meng.
Although this is true, all the funds for the 7th Army are borne by the Morgan family. It is no exaggeration to describe this ace army as a gold-eating beast. Even if it is completely stationary, the daily military expenditure will be 1 billion. So-called
Stillness means that the soldiers do not even eat.
Just when Morgan was in a state of distress, he received another piece of good news and another piece of bad news.
The good news is that the Jolly Roger Corps has arrived in the n7703 system, increasing Morgan's available troops by half.
The bad news is that Jolly Roger only brought 50% of its troops, but brought 200% of its equipment, including three mobile bases.
