Chapter 825 - Support
The continent of Africa and the desert peninsula are actually not too far away, almost facing each other across the sea, so the sudden transfer order did not surprise anyone, or it could be said that they had been mentally prepared for it. .
Flying over the not-so-wide but extremely busy Red Sea, the khaki arid land quickly turned into endless sand dunes, giving people the illusion that they were back on the continent of Africa.
It’s just that today’s desert peninsula is no longer a complete desert.
The large-scale seawater desalination project has built many sedimentation tanks on the coastline, and continuously transported the desalinated water suitable for irrigation into the inland through special pipelines, establishing many green-themed planting areas. .
Sometimes high-level magicians are hired to control the wind and rain and create artificial rainfall as an important supplement to desalination.
“There are so many planting areas for ‘Oil Aloe’!”
Yan Ling seemed to be full. She was holding a cup of tea to digest her food and looking at the scenery on the ground. There were many things in her field of vision. It is an endless stretch of sand dunes.
As a person with capabilities at the level of sovereign strategic power, there are usually few opportunities to leave the homeland.
This participation in the Global Joint Defense Committee is to a large extent not to perform tasks, but to relax.
If an S-class superpower is required to appear, it will definitely be a huge event, and the price to be paid will also be extraordinary.
Pieces of "oases" with sharp edges are distributed in the desert, neatly arranged with each other, and they must be the areas where desalination water pipelines pass. Sparkling waves are visible in the open channels, and there are sparse water nearby. There are vegetation and grass squares, and in the distance there are still undulating sand dunes.
Green plants are changing the desert environment little by little, making it full of life again.
Blue Star’s first sovereign has successfully eliminated most of the deserts in the mainland, leaving only a few small deserts as geographical sample protection areas. Other sovereigns who want to control deserts and land desertification only need to copy their homework. Just do it.
If you can’t even copy the homework well, or even don’t want to copy it, then there is really nothing you can do.
The "oil guys" of the past have now become "fuel guys". The focus of the oil mining industry has shifted to the oil plant "aloe vera" planting industry. The refining and chemical industry can continue to use it with slight technological transformation.
The "fuel guys" still control a relatively large amount of fuel oil supply on the entire planet. The entire desert peninsula is still an important producer of fuel oil in the world, but it has been moved from the underground to the surface.
Compared to the underground oil layer that will be drained out at some point, the sustainable income brought by the "oil aloe vera" that can be continuously produced is more in line with the future interests of the sovereigns of the desert peninsula.
Although "fuel guys" like to spend money like water, they are not stupid when they have money. Twenty years of continuous investment have finally paid off in huge ways.
In the entire desert peninsula planting area, in addition to food crops, the specially grown oil plant "Oil Aloe" is mainly divided into two types. One is with yellow leaf edges and can be used to extract light fuel. The golden aloe vera with oil has slender leaves, and the adult plant is five meters high. The other is the moonlight aloe vera with silver leaf margins, which is specially used to extract heavy fuel oil. The leaves are wide and thick, and the adult plant is two meters high.
Fuel oil can be extracted from the leaves, flowers, fruits, stems and roots of the two types of "oil aloe vera", but the yield rates are different. The fuel oil yield of the entire plant is extremely high, although it is not as good as that of self-spouting oil wells that work day and night. The spewing has stopped, but the annual yield per acre is still considerable. If planted properly, it will be endless year after year.
“It is expected that in 50 years, the desert will disappear from the peninsula, and continuous planting areas will be seen.”
Sanhaoxuesen is not only a sinister person, but also has a profound influence on the world’s humanities and geography. He also knows everything about the current situation on the peninsula at his fingertips.
The desert peninsula has no shortage of land and light for planting, and now there is a sufficient supply of desalinated water. The "fuel guys" are very generous and determined to plant "oil aloe vera" in every inch of sand. , the desert peninsula may be a rare place to see desert.
“Arrived in half an hour!”
Chen Fei glanced at the flight path of the airship formation. He followed the planned route and turned the dotted line into a solid line little by little. The final destination pointed directly at the location of the "wormhole cloud", close to the coastline of the Persian Gulf.
Aloe vera planting bases have already suffered disasters in the planting areas there. For natural disasters invaded by foreign forces, the almost unarmed planting areas are often less capable than economic zones, industrial zones and other exclusive functional planning areas. .
A small number of monsters luckily reach the planting area through the heavy sand dunes, and can easily cause great damage.
"'Rookie', the coordinates of *** are sent for rescue. The number of monsters is about 17. Can you deal with it?"
The communication officer of the command center sent Come and give the command.
The growers of "Oil Aloe" are crying out loud. The soon-to-be-ripe oil crops have been devoured and destroyed by sudden monsters, and their hard-earned harvest has been wasted.
"I need the airspace to be open, not only for fighter jets, but also for reconnaissance aircraft, and the flight radius should be expanded to 500 kilometers."
Chen Fei was on the phone with the command center while preparing combat units for attack. .
After all, the sovereignty of the desert peninsula is not that of the continent of Africa, which is always lying down and showing off. People are acting away from home, and they have to take into account the opinions of some owners.
The Desert Peninsula holds the pricing power of fuel oil and has many contacts with the First Sovereignty, so it still needs to be given some face.
"Contacting, please wait..."
The correspondent responded again two minutes later.
"If the application is approved, the free flight radius is 500 kilometers, no matter what kind of aircraft."
Anyway, it is already a combat aircraft. As for the type of aircraft, there is no limit.
"Reconnaissance drone team, number 6, take off."
"4 tactical jets and 1 tactical bomber, start loading!"
"1 small landing craft, 50 combat robots, ready to take off."
Chen Fei's hand is on Connecting the dots in front of him, others only saw that the place was empty. Only he could see the operation interface automatically generated by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam", which was both convenient and confidential.
Every time a command is confirmed, the execution process will jump out, including the subtitles of the operation process of units and ammunition. With continuous updates, every link becomes very intuitive.
No need to carry weapons, the lightly armed reconnaissance drone took off first. The hum of the propeller quickly faded away, and the data was transmitted back simultaneously. Various reconnaissance modules scanned the sky and land, constructing a real-time war. map model.
"Targets found, number 19, 11 flying types, 8 land type. One combat aircraft was shot down, the pilot ejected to escape, there are 6 friendly combat aircraft left, 6 are confirmed to have crashed."
Reconnaissance type. The drone's optical module was limited by the distance and could not capture a clear picture, but the radar system had successfully locked on the target. The sovereignty of the desert peninsula did not wait for the support of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee, and was doing its best. to stop those monsters.
But no matter how hard you try, the food is just the food. There is really no reason to explain.
I was born in a comfort zone, and working two hours a day is considered hard work. Emmmm... at least it is much better than those black uncles who only know how to hang out when they are full.
The tactical jet carried missiles and roared out from the left and right take-off and landing channels of the No. 2 flagship. The tail flashed with blue light, and with the shape of a high-imitation crystal energy jet, it looked quite intimidating. , but the actual combat effectiveness is just like that, only about 30% of Chen Xiaoer's level.
If the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" that controls these drones is not a fighter AI, it will have an advantage in this regard. Otherwise, it will only be 10% at most, and this is an optimistic estimate.
A minute later, the tactical bomber, which was four times larger than the tactical jet, took off with a full load.
The tactical bomber does not need to be fast, it only needs to be responsible for holding down the formation and cleaning the battlefield. After the tactical jet that enters the battlefield first has cleared away those flying monsters, then the next step is the performance of this tactical bomber. , No matter how fast you run on the ground, you can't outrun the shock wave.
"'Adam', magnify the image of the 'Wormhole Cloud' eight times, using both AR and reality projection."
Chen Fei sits on the bridge and does not need to personally engage in battle. All you need to do is move your hands and mouth to become familiar with the tactical characteristics of the airship combat cluster.
What you get on paper is shallow, but you know that you have to do it in detail.
If he wants to play with the spaceship combat cluster, it is obviously not enough to rely on personal bravery to fight and kill, so he has to learn. Anyway, the lost combat units can be recovered by storing materials and energy points. , the tuition is still affordable.
The picture of the "wormhole cloud" over the desert peninsula in the bridge immediately zoomed in, showing more details.
Missiles and rockets from far away are constantly pouring under the "wormhole cloud", reducing the number of monsters. The dozen monsters attacking the planting area should have slipped through the net. There are still fish in the desert. There are a small number of mutants wandering around, and those who escape are basically lucky. (End of this chapter)
