On the border of the Eilandhill Empire, on an uninhabited planet that has not yet been named, at the outermost edge of the Higgs region, under the Tree of Life that has taken root, countless puppet robots are carrying dangerous explosions to cars.
Taste.
Not far away, behind the dust rising into the sky was a series of explosions. The whole earth was shaking, and before the shaking had completely stopped, a series of explosions started.
Putting down the telescope, an army commander said with emotion: "The entire planet has to become a preset battlefield. It's really a big deal to be able to block a whole planet."
"Yes, it is simply a crazy behavior. Steel and other strategic materials have been deployed to the universe, and the remaining countless reinforced concrete production has been given to us."
"The problem is, they haven't given us the steel bars yet! Hahaha." The officer smiled, and then asked helplessly: "I still haven't figured out who these are for."
He raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance: "There are three lines of defense. The outermost space defense line is composed of the main fleet of the Space Force, and then the second line of defense is composed of exploration-class destroyers and defensive space stations. There are also
To build an almost useless third line of defense on the surface of the planet..."
As he spoke, the smile on his face became a little bitter: "If an enemy is so powerful that it breaks through the first two lines of defense, how long can our defense lines last?"
"Hold on as long as you can!" An officer with a significantly higher military rank walked over, looked at his two men, and said.
"Long live our Emperor!" When the two officers saw their superior arriving, they immediately stood at attention and saluted and sang loudly.
The officer returned a military salute, then looked at the construction site in the distance: "How is the construction progress?"
"We are building a ring of fortifications around the Tree of Life. According to the order, the fortifications nearby must be built according to the highest level of defense standards." One of the officers immediately replied: "It is planned that in the next six months,
We will build 3 110-meter-deep underground bunkers here, each of which can station a regiment of soldiers. We will build 7 55-meter-deep underground bunkers, including 3 arsenals and 4 barracks, each of which can station 1 troop.
group."
"I know all this. Not only that, you also need to build false targets, missile launch sites, and anti-aircraft bunkers, and use at least seven horizontal trenches to connect these large bunkers with defense facilities." The leading officer waved his hand.
Cut off his introduction.
The officer then spoke: "I am asking, can the construction period and construction speed be guaranteed when there is a lack of steel?"
"Our response is to use a large amount of concrete to reinforce underground defenses. The strength is insufficient and the thickness is increased." The officer who was interrupted in the introduction quickly continued to answer: "The originally designed reinforced concrete structure was 3 meters. We used
7 meters of pure concrete replacement.”
"Although the strength is still not fully up to standard, it can make up for it somewhat in terms of performance..."
"I hope all these efforts are worthwhile..." The leading officer sighed and said.
The Eilanhir Empire rarely builds defense lines, and its military troops always maintain an offensive state. Even if they build defense lines, they have never been so serious.
Now, they are really building a defense line like crazy. All the trenches are being reinforced with concrete. There are bunkers and turrets everywhere, and there are reinforced low walls everywhere. The only thing missing is dense barbed wire.
Further away, the jamming device's huge body like a mountain is being built up little by little. This is to prevent the enemy from having a space jump device and crossing these peripheral defense lines.
The general staff of the Airanhir Empire has been very busy recently. They are simulating the enemy's attack and checking for deficiencies. They hope to think of all the details to help their own troops complete these details and win the war.
It is necessary to ensure that every planet becomes a position that can block the enemy and can be repeatedly contested with the enemy.
The Eilandsil Empire hopes that every border city can block the enemy's attack and turn it into a tomb for the enemy.
Farther away, a mountain peak is being cut off, and countless floating magic arrays are making this mountain peak escape the control of gravity.
Due to the lack of steel, the Elanshir Empire could only rely on this most primitive and stupid method to build the planet's rings or satellites.
These satellites will play a key role in future wars: they can not only serve as defense fortresses in space, but can also be transformed into repair stations to repair damaged spacecraft.
Similar to the shipyard, the star battleships of the Airanshir Empire cannot be returned to the surface of the planet for repairs. Once those warships are damaged, it will obviously be a waste of productivity if they rely entirely on the Halo shipyard.
According to the plan of the Elanthir Empire, all advanced shipyards and production factories on the star ring must serve the production of warships.
Maintenance tasks must be left to similar artificial satellites. This is also a way to save productivity.
Because it is protected by stone and soil, such an artificial "satellite" floating in the universe only needs to dig a cave inside and use concrete and relatively thin metal to complete the sealing. Compared with a space station or satellite made entirely of metal,
, obviously a lot of material needs to be saved.
Just as several officers watched a mountain peak gradually rise and begin to leave the atmosphere, a huge transport spacecraft slowly landed in an open space on the planet.
The huge hull of the ship, which is hundreds of meters long, is all gray and white. Under the hull, which is bigger than a house, the equally huge hatch slowly opens.
One after another, the phalanx of puppet robots walked out of the transport spacecraft. These puppet robots all carried weapons on their backs. They were the core force that wanted to hold on here until the end.
The Airanhir Empire does not have that much population to waste on such border defense battles. Most of the people actually have to join the space fleet.
Therefore, less important ground defense must be left to relatively cheap units such as demons and puppet robots.
"If the enemy occupies outer space, we will only be beaten here..." an officer said reluctantly.
"It is better for us to be beaten here than for our family to be beaten in the rich core galaxy!" The leading officer said firmly: "Even if we hold on for ten or five more minutes, our persistence will be meaningful!"
"As long as we can buy one more minute for His Majesty, we will fight for it with our lives!" On another planet, a demon general clenched his fists and shouted to the officers in front of him.
"Ambush the devil dogs wherever they can! Dig tunnels and plant vegetation forests! Even if a hundred devil dogs only exchange one life of the enemy, we will do it!" When he said these words, he finally found the feeling of that year.
That cruel tone when loyal to the origin of magic.
The devil's tactics have always been so cruel. They sacrificed devil dogs, four-legged orangutans and devil bats, even if it only slightly weakens the enemy's combat power, they would not hesitate to invest hundreds of thousands of low-level devils!
Now, it's their turn to fight for the future of the Elanthir Empire. Therefore, the difficult demon has become a solid and reliable ally.
Countless demon dogs rely on the tunnels dug underground to maneuver and can move forward to any location where enemy troops may appear.
These low-level demons can attack intruders from all directions as long as they break out of the ground at a nearby exit.
Coupled with the high-level demonic troops arriving immediately, the opponent will suffer huge losses as soon as they land on the planet.
Like other frontline planets, this planet also has a large number of concrete fortifications. Anyway, cement is not used by the Airanshir Empire to build warships, so it can be used to build defensive positions.
A large number of false targets were placed in places where there were not enough troops to garrison for the time being, including tanks made of cement and cannons camouflaged by cutting down wood.
In short, all planets that are close to the borders of the Elanthir Empire are now desperately building defenses.
The focus of the entire fortification construction was placed near the Higgs area that the opponent had attacked before.
"The concrete defense line composed of high-level demons is being built. We will fight side by side with the puppet troops to block the enemy from the core defense position!" A demon officer reported to the leader of the demon report.
While reporting, he pointed to the location near the Tree of Life. The fortifications there have now begun to take shape, with cement bunkers on the ground one after another, looking like sesame seeds sprinkled on a hamburger.
Depending on the terrain, there will be cross fire between the bunkers. Even the bunker that comes out from the front will be covered by other bunkers or defensive positions on the sides and rear.
Most of the seemingly haphazard fortifications were actually carefully designed. After all, most of the demon generals at this time had been trained by the Airansil Empire army.
Of course, there are still a few people who have learned lessons from being beaten by the Airansil Empire army.
Only the enemy knows you. This principle always applies. After being tortured countless times by the crossfire of the Elanshir Empire, many demons are self-taught and understand this terrible firepower configuration very well.
"In a few weeks, elven magicians will arrive, and they will use magic to expand the vegetation in the entire fortification area. By then, the entire defense area will be lined with green trees, and there will be no traces of it in the sky." That person said.
The devil responsible for building the entire fortification continued proudly.
After being covered with vegetation, the entire defense line will be integrated with nature. At that time, unless the opponent has advanced detection methods, every step forward will cost a heavy price.
With some regret, the demon complained: "Because of the limited materials, we have no way to conduct infrared concealment... This is impossible because our budget is very low and the only material that can be used is concrete."
If you give him more and better materials, or give him more time, maybe this fortress-like defense line will be built more reasonably and powerfully.
Unfortunately, time is limited, everything must be completed within half a year, and then after completion, continue to improve on the basis of the original defense line.
This is also a hopeless solution. No one knows when the enemy will arrive. It is good for the organization of defense to complete the construction first.
The leading demon general pressed the long sword on his waist and reminded. "This is not a reason for you to complain. Even if we have nothing, we will fight for His Majesty until the end!"
"Yes! Sir! Even if we don't have any weapons, we will fight to the end for His Majesty!" the demon officer immediately replied.
"As long as there is one demon alive, the other party will not be able to approach the Tree of Life from the ground!" He raised his chin and promised in a sonorous voice.
The group of people walked along the busy construction site with puppet robots everywhere, and soon a flat facility with a foundation next to it appeared in front of them.
This is a missile position. After it was built, the buildings next to it were used to hide the missile launch vehicles. This flat open space was used to launch missiles.
There are as many as seventy or eighty anti-aircraft missile launch sites like this on the entire defense line. As for whether there are that many anti-aircraft missiles, and whether there will be anti-aircraft missiles, no one knows.
However, according to the design requirements, these facilities must be available. Whether they are used or not is another matter.
"Have you seen the anti-aircraft missile position over there? You are personally responsible for the defense and security there! If an enemy approaches, the anti-aircraft missile position cannot be threatened in any way before you die in battle!" The leading demon general said to a man who was following behind him.
The confidant pointed and commanded.
The demon officer who looked extremely strong knew that his life was linked to the things in front of him.
He stood at attention and saluted, and said in an angry voice: "As you command! Sir! As long as I live, there will not be any threats here! Long live the origin of magic!"
"Long live the Empire!" The leading general waved his hand gently and continued to move forward with the remaining officers.
Along the way, he has left many officers behind, and every officer has to defend a section of the defense line with his life.
As he walked, the leading general said to the remaining officers behind him: "We hold on here, and the Higgs 6 planet behind us will be safe! It is an important steel production base in the Higgs region.
, as long as it is safe there, our ammunition will be continuously supplied!"
Having said this, he looked at an officer responsible for coordinating transportation and supplies: "If the space fleet is damaged and the route is blocked, I want to stockpile weapons and ammunition on the ground that we can consume for a year! Can it be done?
"
"There is a limit to the allocation of supplies. I will try my best to get more ammunition!" the officer said with his chest raised and his head raised.
"Very good!" The leading general didn't know if he was satisfied or not. He nodded and continued to inspect the line of defense: "Before I came here, the order just confirmed by the empire's center... All similar planets are to be fortresses.
Name it! This will be Fortress No. 7 from now on!"——
Suddenly I found it very comfortable to write like this, so I stopped dividing it into chapters, hahahaha.
