The reason for getting up in such a hurry is very simple. Another batch of airdrop supplies has arrived. In this batch of airdrops, there are urgently needed standard supply stations.
Not only that, the armored bunker also suffered a raid. Two pieces of titanium steel alloy external armor were severely corroded and needed to be re-welded.
By the time Fang Linyan arrived at the construction site, Stassen seemed to have been here for a long time and would give him pointers in his spare time while working.
Under Stassen's guidance, Fang Linyan also gained a lot. This guy didn't talk much, but he could get to the point in every sentence.
To put it in Stassen's words: A welder can't do well just by being able to hold a welding gun and follow the instructions, especially in military welding, which is related to the life and death of soldiers. Without rich practical experience, it will never be possible to achieve a decent success.
The supply station is different from the bunker, which only requires argon-fluorine welding. In addition to considering the firmness between the solder joints, we must also pay attention to its ductility.
The supply station built by Stassen and Fang Linyan was the crystallization of the empire's newly developed high-tech wisdom. In addition to having conventional functions, the supply station also had a lifting function.
As the name suggests, a supply depot is a warehouse that stores supplies. Unlike civilian warehouses, not only the safety of ammunition must be considered, but also its concealment to avoid becoming the enemy's primary attack target.
That's why federal scientists invented this supply station that can be lifted up and down.
The supply station is small, resembling a 4-meter-by-4-meter-by-10-meter iron box. It is equipped with a ventilation system on the top, two fans hovering above it, and two closable entrances and exits at the front and rear.
The steel plate is made of 150 mm thick alloy carbon steel, which cannot be penetrated even by heavy machine gun bullets with a firing speed of up to 800 meters per second.
In order to withstand air strikes, the wartime supply depot can be lowered underground when necessary, and is then covered and protected by two thickened hinged bulletproof doors.
At the same time, this supply station is also multi-functional. It is not only equipped with ammunition storage equipment, but also equipped with field beds for 15 soldiers to rest here.
Welding at the supply station requires some skills, because comfort and practicality must be taken into consideration. Under Stason's guidance, Fang Linyan has a deeper understanding of fusion welding, sub-welding, brazing, and gas welding.
It can be said that it has benefited a lot.
Soon, the entire camp was almost completed, so Fang Linyan went to chat with Stassen. His casual remarks made Lin Yan's eyes light up.
And Stassen is a person who doesn't drink or have fun, so of course there is a drinking bureau wherever he is.
Federal officers also have the habit of drinking two drinks to relax after work, so Lin Yan also became familiar with Jason, the combat commander in the base, and his subordinates. They recognized Lin Yan's welding skills, and both parties
The relationship quickly warmed up.

However, just when the drinking was in full swing, an orderly next to him immediately ran over and said:
"Engineer Stassen, Deputy Commander Hank requested to speak to you."
After Stassen heard the news, he simply cursed and said:
"What the hell, I hate it when people bother me when I'm drinking!"
Then he turned around and left. After a while, he heard a series of shouts and curses coming from inside.
After a while, Stassen came out with a dark face, then pointed at Fang Linyan and said:
"Boy, come with me. I was asked to work as a coolie just now. I happened to be short of manpower here, so I recruited you directly."
Fang Linyan said simply:
"No problem, but my two friends have to follow me."
Stassen snorted coldly and said:
"I'll give you fifteen minutes to pack your luggage. The shuttle that will pick me up will arrive in twenty minutes. When the shuttle arrives, I want you to wait for me at the landing site with your luggage on your back."
So half an hour later, Fang Linyan and the others were already on their way back to New Watch Castle.
Before leaving, the quartermaster had already evaluated their efforts in establishing the sentry. Fang Linyan received 50 platinum points, and Vulture and Goat received 30 points as his deputies.
Stassen was still a very talkative person along the way, and he was always chatting and joking with the co-pilot who came randomly.
The two of them should be very familiar with each other, so the first officer mentioned one thing during the chat, that is, the mechanic who worked for them yesterday was an idiot, and there was a problem with the circulation system installation at the supply station.
.
Statham said:
"This is the most common mistake for novices. When installing the circulation system of the supply station, the transmission systems on the exhaust valve and the intake valve are exactly the same. It is easy to install them backwards, but once they are installed backwards, the system will be damaged.
Strike after one hour of work.”
The first officer said:
"I don't know much about the cause of the failure, but it is a fact that the toilet failed."
"Then when this guy came to troubleshoot the problem, he went out to poop because he didn't like the toilet being too dirty. As a result, he was bitten on the balls by a poisonous mosquito!"
"The doctor's advice now is to cut off the thing on his crotch that has swollen to the size of an apple and is beginning to rot and ooze black water..."
Statham took out the wine bottle and took a sip, laughing and cursing:
"Hell, I believe that if he knew there would be such consequences, that unlucky guy would definitely choose to stay in that toilet for a day."
After hearing this conversation, the three of them looked at each other and felt a chill in each other's eyes.
Although this is a small probability event, it is enough to show that this place is dangerous and makes people feel shuddering, so act with caution.
This is not a safe metropolis, but a cruel environment where the weak and the strong prey on the strong. The bloody facts around them, even if it is just a joke, remind them that this place is very, very, very dangerous!
When the shuttle landed at New Watchfort, Stassen was notified that he was summoned back urgently. It was indeed very important.
But it is because the communication system of the command center of the New Watch Fort has malfunctioned. The sensors show that there should be a problem with the external line or relay station. Therefore, it is impossible to contact the mothership Laksha, so it must be dealt with as soon as possible.
.
But now after two hours of repairs, not only has the connection with the mothership not been restored, but even the connection with other sentry camps and military bases has gradually begun to be lost.
In this era, this is a very fatal thing!
So before the communication was completely interrupted, New Watchfort recalled all the scattered mechanical engineers to solve the immediate problems first. Stassen was the first one to come back.
After clarifying the problem, Stassen motioned to Fang Linyan to follow him.
Because at this time, he was asked to accompany him to the command center to read the code of this fault. With the fault code, he could know the specific approximate area where the fault occurred, the cause of the fault, etc.
The command center was established forty hours ago. It is located in the center of the new Watchfort. It looks like a giant hamburger, round at the top and flat at the bottom.
Different from bunkers, air defense towers and other facilities, the command center is made up of six giant components dropped from the mother ship. It has its own flight function and can also be understood as a movable fortress. Its chassis has as many as sixteen variables.
thrusters, which allow it to take off and land vertically, or fly slowly at a speed of six miles per hour.
The bottom area of the command center is about 6,000 square meters, which is almost the same area as a football field. It is more than 20 meters high and is divided into three floors.
In addition to sixteen plasma deflection thrusters, the bottom area also has two large warehouses, which usually contain twenty SCIs and four "Leopard" armored personnel carriers, which are used to build defense facilities and collect resources.
, and can also provide basic defensive power.
The middle floor is used as the headquarters, and the upper floor is the radar communication room, responsible for receiving and issuing various combat deployments.
On the top of the command center, 19 UYK-7 optical computers and 20 UYK-20 intelligent computers are integrated, as well as 22 tactical three-dimensional displays. These things together form the "Hermes Battlefield Operations" that the Starry Sky Foundation is proud of.
system."
This thing is like the brain of the entire command center.
At the same time, an AN/SPY-1 multifunctional phased array high-power radar is enough to meet any needs of the commander. Its role is also irreplaceable, serving as the eyes and ears of the entire command center.
In addition, there is a heavy-duty 320mm ultra-high pulse cannon on the top of the command center. The longest range of this thing can reach 40 kilometers. With its own fire control system, it can accurately hit any target within the range.
At the same time, if covering suppressive firepower is needed, it can be replaced with a Krupp heavy gun with a diameter of 400 mm in five minutes!
It can fire X-M185 remote sensing special artillery shells at a rate of twenty seconds.
After the X M185 remote sensing artillery shell is launched with a muzzle velocity of 692 meters/second, it will go straight into the air 500 meters away from the target location.
Then the built-in parachute opens, and the information sensor inside the missile starts working, relying on the small internal radar to search for the target.
Once the target is locked, the magazine of the X M185 remote-sensing artillery shell is opened directly, and as many as 45 burning bullets pour downward, turning a full two square kilometers into a sea of fire.
