Chapter 1753 Joint Defense Plan
Shattered Dome!
As the Mecha Hunter's logistics maintenance and supply base, its construction specifications are naturally very high. It integrates the world's top technologies. It can be said that it is the largest in the world and has the highest technological content. Naturally, its cost is also very high. Same as usual.
Not to mention other things, the most important crane is a bridge crane specially designed and manufactured by Zhenhua Heavy Industries for mecha hunters. The maximum lifting weight reaches 10,000 tons, so that it can be lifted The assembled Mecha Hunter allows repairs, maintenance and even deployment to be carried out quickly.
The Bald Eagle took out the giant crawler technology originally used to transport spacecraft and rocket assemblies. Based on this technology, it designed a 30-meter-long and 20-meter-wide vehicle specifically for mecha hunters. , a ten-meter-tall giant transport vehicle with a total of eight tracks, each of which weighs one ton. The whole vehicle can withstand a maximum weight of 10,000 tons. It is an important means of transport for short-distance transport of mecha hunters.
There are as many similar technologies as there are stars, and they are all the top technologies of various countries. Together they hold up the Broken Sky, making the Broken Sky the most brilliant star of human civilization, shining and dazzling.
In its heyday, eighteen Broken Skyes were distributed around the world, guarding the coastline of mankind and protecting bustling cities. As a result, mecha pilots became the most respected 'stars', with all kinds of honors In addition, he is comparable to an astronaut before monsters appeared frequently.
What a pity, as the mecha hunters failed more and more, the status of Shattered Sky also declined. Top technology was no longer sent in, and lost the full support of various countries. The original top technology The Broken Sky is also slowly falling behind.
To this day, only eight bases are still operating normally. The other bases were either destroyed by monster attacks or had to be merged with other bases due to insufficient numbers of mechas. The relocated base was sold in exchange for funds to maintain the operations of the Earth Defense Force.
Just like the Xiangjiang Base in front of us, in the past ten years, it has merged with Dongjing Base and Fushan Base to become the largest mecha maintenance base in the Asia-Pacific region.
The reason why the Broken Sky in these two places is suspended has a lot to do with the overall situation of the global economy.
Dongjing Base was first attacked by monsters, and then suffered a nuclear explosion from Tango Wolf. It can be said that misfortune never comes singly, adding insult to injury. Neon, which had just been hit hard, was already in a mess just by the Dongjing nuclear explosion. They are so overwhelmed that they still have the energy and financial resources to rebuild a broken sky, leaving the Earth Defense Force to evacuate and relocate.
As for Nanbang, due to the significant reduction in global trade and the continued decline of the domestic economy, not only the people are in dire straits, but it is almost the same. If it is no longer able to support Shattered Sky, it can only let the Earth Defense Force and its mechas Hunters move away.
It can be seen from this that monster disasters have had a great impact on some small countries that originally relied on global trade to develop.
Originally, these countries relied on trade and finance to develop their economies rapidly and entered the developed sequence. However, they succeeded or failed. When global trade slumped, such countries were equivalent to being sucked away. When the bones are broken, the economy immediately becomes weak, and it is difficult to maintain the domestic people's livelihood, let alone other things.
After the merger of the Ax Mountain Base, the Xiangjiang Base will have six mecha hunters that can be used for combat, becoming the world's largest mecha hunter maintenance base, and will be responsible for the defense of the entire East Asia region. The Ford team's visit today is based on In the name of the visit, the issue of joint defense was discussed.
In the eyes of most people, the once glorious Earth Defense Force is now in decline and on the verge of disbandment. By then, everyone will have to clear their doors. Small countries with few people and poor economies will either wait to die or die. Hug your thighs.
Although the bald eagle is always the father, it is far away from the Pacific Ocean after all. By the time the support arrives, the day lilies here are so moldy that they have grown hair, so I can only hug the rabbit legs next to me.
This is also the only choice in East Asia and even Asia, and the rabbit obviously wants to protect the poor people in the world.
After merging the Ax Mountain Base, the Xiangjiang Base will have six Mecha Hunters, becoming the largest Mecha Hunter maintenance base in the world. However, the fourth phase of the project has also been launched to expand two more Gnakus. Let Xiangjiang base have eight mecha hunters.
You must know that although Rabbit has a long coastline, its land area is extremely vast. Four Mecha Hunters are enough. But now they want to double the number of Mecha Hunters, and there are plans to build a second base in Hainan. Letting the number of mecha hunters exceed double digits is obviously an attempt to bring other countries into the scope of protection.
But protection is never free, and once someone wants to protect you for free, what the other party is planning must be more expensive than the protection fee.
So, as a representative, the Ford team came to make contact first to understand what the conditions are, and then make plans.
Shao Liwen, the secretary-general of the Xiangjiang Base, warmly received the five members of the Ford team and introduced in detail the current situation of the Xiangjiang Base and its brilliant achievements.
"Storm Red is currently the only three-arm mecha hunter in the world. It uses a triple empathy operating system. The GO cockpit on the head has a telephoto zoom function, which can provide a wide range of views in battle. field of view, the mutually resisting piston in the neck has a higher Flexibility, the magnetorheological dampers equipped on the feet, with the assistance of the intelligent system, can make fine adjustments thousands of times per second, and can adapt to a variety of terrains. Coupled with the three auxiliary thrusters on the back, it can make the storm Chihong performs somersaults, high kicks and other difficult moves.
Among the three arms, the left hand is equipped with a newly developed plasma cannon, which is powerful enough to fuse the bones of fifth-generation monsters. The right arm has two. The additional armor allows the two arms to fight together, using eight alloy flywheels to attack the monster at close range. "The Cutting of Distance"
Secretary Shao eloquently introduced Xiangjiang Base's meritorious mecha hunter - Storm Red, the only three-arm mecha hunter in the world driven by triplets. After that, he destroyed ten monsters and ranked at the top of the mecha hunter kill list. He was the absolute ace of the Xiangjiang base. He was originally a fourth-generation mecha hunter. He underwent a fifth-generation modification three years ago and is planning a sixth-generation upgrade. It has become five and a half generations
This is also the limit of Storm Red. After all, the foundation is here, just like a house, it is only a two-story structure. No matter how the foundation and beams are reinforced in the later stage, it cannot be built according to the weight. High.
In fact, when deciding to build this three-arm mecha, the Xiangjiang base took a big risk, because although there are many multiple births on the earth, only the three brothers of the Tang Sect can survive the test with synaesthesia. This means that once something goes wrong with the three of them, even if the mecha can be repaired, no one will be able to drive it. They can only make major changes to turn it into a two-person driving mecha. .
Chiba Cheng stood at the feet of Baofeng Crimson, looking up at the seventy-six-meter-high mecha. Although it had undergone a fifth-generation modification, it was still based on a fourth-generation machine. It weighed only six thousand tons, and its arm muscles were still used. The diesel engine is used as the driving force, and the power furnace on the chest is also old-fashioned, but it is ready to be replaced with the power furnace of the sixth-generation machine. By then, the power will be more powerful, and the power of the plasma cannon on the hand will be even higher.
"It's really mighty!"
Chiba Makoto murmured to himself, especially the sharp saw wheel on his arm, which must resonate with Ace. As a giant, he should saw people.
The three mechas we visited after that were more conventional. Even the fifth-generation mecha, the Shaolin Ranger, looked ordinary in appearance, unlike Storm Crimson, which can be seen at first glance. Make a lasting impression. As for the other two mechas, they are still at the Ax Mountain base and have not yet been shipped. The main issue is that joint defense is still being discussed and has not been signed yet.
After closing the Ax Mountain Base, Nanbang is preparing to reconstruct the Ax Mountain Base and deploy super-large-caliber heavy artillery and surface-to-surface anti-monster missiles, with a range enough to cover a country as big as sesame seeds. The defense gap left after the Mecha Hunters moved away.
This is also the 'economic' solution promoted by small countries in recent years. If they cannot afford expensive mecha hunters, they can buy affordable super cannons, plus super anti-monster shells, as well as the anti-monster currently used by the mainstream mecha hunters. Missiles and high-explosive armor-piercing bombs, use positional warfare to deal with the monsters that come ashore.
Although doing this requires deploying many fortresses and even building large-scale fortress groups in key areas for key defense, it is generally more economical than mecha hunters.
If the mecha hunter is a maritime aircraft carrier, its main focus is active attack, then the fortress plan is equivalent to a land-based airport, which is passive defense.
Although aircraft carriers are good, their technological content and cost are much higher than those of land-based airports. The construction and maintenance costs of aircraft carriers are enough to build dozens or hundreds of land-based airports. Even if they are damaged, they can be repaired. It is also convenient and fast.
Nanbang gave up on the mecha land because of some calculations. With its small territory, at most two fortresses are enough, and the two fortresses combined are not as high as the cost of one mecha.
I learned from Yukino that Neon was actually hesitating between a mecha and a fortress. He wanted to build a mecha to show his strength and longevity, but he was a bit shy about it. He wanted to make a fool of himself but was afraid of pain. .
That’s why Yukino led the team to the Xiangjiang base to make contact and talk to see if they could obtain the protection of the mecha hunters at the Xiangjiang base, so that there would be no need to spend a lot of money to recruit mecha hunters. , and instead built fortresses near some big cities. They did not want to destroy the monsters, but just wanted to drag the mecha hunters to the Xiangjiang base.
In this case, the cost of the fortress can be further reduced.
After all, the difficulty is different between annihilating the enemy and holding the enemy back.
After hearing the 'truth' from Yukino's mouth, Chiba Makoto felt speechless for a while. Sure enough, no matter what time and in which world, the upper level will never change. Let's hang on to the people below first. As for whether to bake it or not, that's another story.
Seemingly seeing the disappointment of 'New Tai', Yukino slowed down and fell behind others, then leaned next to 'New Tai' and whispered: "In fact, the Ministry of Defense prefers a compromise plan, that is, in important cities Build a fortress and prepare two to three mecha hunters at the same time, using high and low matching methods. , to coordinate operations to deal with cities without defensive fortresses. "
"It is indeed a good method." Chiba Cheng nodded in agreement. After all, passive defense is not the answer, no matter how strong it is. The defense line can only stop it for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Defense and attack are complementary to each other, just like rabbits. Even if there are already four Mecha Hunters, and they will soon be upgraded to six, there will be eight Mecha Hunters in a while. However, construction of defensive fortresses is still underway in some major coastal cities.
And Yukino also found out a little bit about it. The best thing is to have two mechas of your own. Of course, you can’t make them yourself, so you can only ask Rabbit to make them. However, this method is a lottery, because You have to bear it all yourself, the cost is quite high;
The second is to use the fortress to delay, waiting for the Xiangjiang base to send mecha hunters to support, but this is also a lottery, because the risk is uncontrollable, and all hopes are pinned on others, and others naturally have to protect themselves first and will provide support if they have spare combat power. other;
The final plan is to rent two mechas and put them on your own site. If you can't build Shattered Sky, then build a secondary one that can be easily maintained. If the mecha is damaged If it is damaged, it will be sent to the Xiangjiang base for repair.
This is the most beneficial to your side. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to build a production line, build a mecha, or build a base. You only need to pay some money and a deposit to get a mecha hunter. But no one is a fool. Especially the politicians who came out with thousands of troops, so they were put at the end.
“But the third plan is unlikely to be agreed upon, so it would be nice to get a mecha. I don’t want the latest one, an abandoned fourth-generation mecha that Xiangjiang Base brought back from the mecha graveyard. The mecha has been modernized and modified, and it is almost complete. Its combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of the fifth generation mecha." Yukino and 'New Tai' whispered that the mecha plan was not a blank promise, but something that was actually done.
Nothing more.
Chiba Cheng was quite speechless when he heard this, and once again felt deeply that everything should be based on the actual object. This sentence is really correct.
The picture was of five mechas, but in reality it was two mechas, but in the end it was one mecha.
This discount is too broken.
After a tour, Yukino and other high-level officials went to the conference room for an initial confrontation, while ‘New Tai’ and other affiliated staff went to other places to actually experience the Mecha Hunter.
After Chiba Makoto followed an official to a nearby control room, he suddenly understood why Yukino had just told him the "confidential" information and almost made it public.
Because through the large glass of the control room, a tall mecha can be clearly seen. The chest is completely opened, revealing a power furnace filled with lines and pipes. Robotic arms are surrounding this mecha." Hands up and down, welding work is being carried out, obviously reaching the final stage.
Although no one said it, this is probably the old mecha that will be sold to the Ford team.
Really.
Chiba Chengzheng was thinking speechlessly. He raised his hand and scratched his back in a normal way, and turned his head to the side. His movements were very normal, but his eyes were It was a quick glance behind him.
