On the morning of the next day, the base command center was packed with seats. The fleet leaders headed by Zhuang Bo and the mid-level and senior base officers were all gathered together. Dozens of staff were seated throughout the command center, constantly summarizing information from all aspects.
After overnight efforts by technical staff, the base command center has achieved data exchange with the US military base. Zhuang Bo and others can obtain various information from the front without leaving home.
On the large screen directly in front of the command center, the situation at the US military airport is being broadcast live. Troops from various countries have gathered in a corner of the airport, and US personnel are distributing transport planes.
The troops who had received the order had already begun to board the plane. Looking around, there were majestic-looking American powered armors and matching armored support vehicles everywhere.
The main screen is a panoramic picture taken by a wide-angle lens, and the screens in the corners are pictures taken from various angles, some from power armor, some from armored vehicles, and some from transport aircraft.
The pictures from the combat platform are relatively stable, but the pictures from the power armor always jump around, which makes people feel sick after watching them for a long time.
However, the principle of this physiological reaction is similar to that of seasickness. However, most of the people sitting in the command center are navy, and only a few are uncomfortable.
The multinational forces on the screen quickly allocated the transport aircraft and boarded the designated aircraft one after another.
Ye Han originally thought that all the planes were used to transport people, but in fact less than half of the planes were filled with people. The remaining planes were filled with all kinds of military supplies, including food, medicine, weapons and ammunition, and even some that only needed a few
A portable fortress that can be deployed in just a few steps.
This thing was specially designed by the US military to deal with giant insects. It is an inconspicuous car in its marching state. When unfolded, it becomes a bunker close to the ground, which can provide a certain degree of protection for those hiding inside.
Like power armor, this thing has little effect in human wars, but it can be regarded as a powerful weapon against giant insects.
There are many similar pieces of equipment, some of which Ye Han has heard of, some of which he has never even heard of, and even if he sees them, he doesn’t know what they are used for.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the multinational forces were ready to go, and dozens of C-17 transport planes were parked staggered left and right on the airport runway.
With an order from the U.S. military base, all transport aircraft started their engines. After a brief taxi, the fleet gradually left the ground and flew westward in a neat formation.
Most of the several screens in the command center show the situation inside the cabin, and only a few screens show images from outside the aircraft, including the blue sky and white clouds looking straight up, and the yellow earth looking down.
The fleet shuttled between the clouds, with criss-crossing mountains and sand dunes below. After more than twenty minutes, dots of green began to appear on the ground. After a while, the originally mainly yellow tones were replaced by vast green fields.
If you look carefully you may even be able to distinguish the individual tree trunks.
Ye Han's impression of Africa, except for the Sahara, is that of endless withered yellow grasslands, with herds of wildebeests that can't be seen running across the land like locusts, and the green land turned into a wasteland in an instant.
There were either grass growing everywhere or no trees. On the only big tree in sight was a leopard with a wide mouth and panting endlessly.
But what he saw now was countless towering trees. Ye Han suddenly realized that the dense forest on the screen was the tropical rainforest known as the lungs of the earth.
It is said that the tropical rainforest has the richest biological resources on earth, but the current rainforest probably only has one kind of creature, giant ants.
Ever since green entered the screen, it never left. It wasn't until more than two hours later that the alternation of dark green and light green appeared.
If you look carefully, the dark green is still the original forest, while the light green is the grassland. There is me in the grassland and you in the forest. Looking down from the air, it looks like the cerebral cortex outlined with green paint.
There was a screen in the command center dedicated to displaying satellite images. Ye Han couldn't help but move over and look at it carefully for a while, and found that this kind of alternating grassland and forest was very common.
If you zoom in on the satellite image of the grassland, you can even see countless giant ants scattered on the grassland, dividing the grassland into two colors: green and dark brown.
Ye Han could completely imagine what it would be like when the aircraft flew over the ant colony and countless giant ants turned their eyes to the sky. However, considering that the hearing and vision of the giant ants were not very good, it was probably unreasonable for the aircraft to fly over the ant colony at ultra-low altitude.
Without the interest of the giant ants, the scene of countless giant ants raising their heads together would be impossible to appear.
At about 11 noon, everyone went to the canteen in batches to eat. When Ye Han came back from lunch, it was already close to 12 noon. According to the data from the US military base, the aircraft fleet was about to arrive over Morobeda.
A few minutes later, the departing personnel basically returned to the command center, and the fleet also sent a signal that it had arrived at the target.
Looking down from the perspective of the fleet, the virgin forest that lasted for more than two hours on the screen was suddenly replaced by buildings, and then a city occupied the entire screen.
The shape of the city is very irregular, and it is difficult to describe it accurately in words. The target of the fleet is located in the southwest corner of the city, where there is an airstrip.
Ye Han could also understand what the Americans were doing. It wasn't that they didn't want to find a better place, but that in Africa, the road network and railway network were not very developed. It was simply impossible to find a war-ready road to take off and land planes.
occur.
The C-17's take-off and landing capabilities are extremely good, but it cannot take off and land anywhere like the aircraft of World War II. It must have a flat sandy runway anyway.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of airports here, but most of the airports here are super simple airports that can be opened for business by just setting up a few sheds and a relatively flat runway. The only heavy transport aircraft in the world, including the C-17, are
Only a few heavy transport aircraft in China are capable of taking off and landing at this kind of airport.
It is the ability of light aircraft to land on any flat ground. If a heavy transport aircraft dares to land on that kind of ground, it is almost like smashing eggs on the ground.
The fleet of aircraft began to circle over the airport, and the camera installed on the aircraft faithfully sent the situation on the ground back to the command center. Through the camera, you could see that two groups of giant ants were fighting in the airport, and the runway was full of biting ants.
Giant ants.
No one finds it strange.
The Chinese giant ant population can continue to this day, on the one hand, it benefits from extensive artificial breeding; on the other hand, the wolfworms that came to Siberia provide enough food for the ant colony.
In recent years, the number of ant colonies in Beibang has dropped sharply due to lack of food. If the number of other types of giant insects had not re-emerged, the ant colonies in Beibang would have been on the verge of extinction.
