Chapter 586 Returning to Fort Watch (Fifth Change)
The reason for getting up in such a hurry is very simple. Another batch of airdropped supplies has arrived. In this batch of airdrops, there are currently urgently needed standard supply stations.

Not only that, but the armored bunker also suffered a surprise attack. Two pieces of titanium steel alloy external armor were severely corroded and needed to be re-welded.

When Fang Linyan arrived at the construction site, Stassen seemed to have been here for a long time, and he would give him pointers when he was free from work.

Under Stassen's guidance, Fang Linyan has gained a lot. This guy doesn't talk much, but he can get to the point in every sentence.

Take Stassen's words: Welders can't do well just by holding a welding torch and following the scriptures. Especially in military welding, it is related to the life and death of soldiers. Without rich practical experience, it will never be possible to do a decent job.

The supply station is different from the welding method of the bunker, which only uses argon-fluorine welding. In addition to considering the firmness of the solder joints, more attention should be paid to its ductility.

The supply station built by Stassen with Fang Linyan is the crystallization of high-tech wisdom newly developed by the empire. In addition to the functions in the conventional sense, the supply station also has the function of lifting.

As the name suggests, the supply station is a warehouse for storing supplies. Unlike civilian warehouses, not only the safety of ammunition must be considered, but also its concealment, so as not to become the enemy's primary attack target.

That's why scientists from the Federation invented this kind of supply station that can be lifted.

The supply station is small, resembling a 4m x 4 x 10 iron box, with a ventilation system on the top, two fans hovering above, and two closable entrances and exits at the front and back.

The steel plate is made of 150 mm thick alloy carbon steel, which cannot penetrate even heavy machine gun bullets with a rate of fire as high as 800 meters per second.

In order to resist air strikes, the wartime supply station can also be lowered to the ground when necessary, and then covered and protected by two thickened hinged bulletproof doors.

At the same time, this kind of supply station is also multi-functional. It is not only equipped with ammunition storage equipment, but also equipped with field beds, which can accommodate 15 soldiers to rest here.

Welding at the supply station requires some skills, because comfort and practicality must be considered. Under the guidance of Stassen, 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, and his casual remarks could make Lin Yan's eyes shine.

And Staton is a person who loves drinking and drinking, and of course there are drinking bureaus wherever he is.

Federal officers also have the habit of drinking two cups to relax after work, so Lin Yan also became acquainted with Jason, the combat commander in the base, and his subordinates. They still recognized Lin Yan's welding level. The relationship quickly warmed up.

***
However, just as the drinking was in full swing, an orderly next to him immediately trotted over and said:
"Engineer Stassen, Second Commander Hank has requested to speak to you."

After Staton heard the news, he simply cursed and said:

"What the hell, I hate it when people interrupt me when I'm drinking!"

Then he turned and left, and after a while, he heard a series of shouts and curses from inside.

After a while, Stassen came out with a dark face, then pointed to Fang Linyan and said:
"Boy, come with me. The higher-ups asked me to do coolies just now. It happened that I was short of manpower, so I recruited you directly."

Fang Linyan said very simply:

"No problem, but my two friends have to follow me."

Statham snorted coldly and said:

"I'll give you 15 minutes to pack your luggage, and the shuttle will arrive in 10 minutes after picking me up. When the shuttle arrives, I want to see you waiting for me at the landing field with your luggage on your back."

So half an hour later, Fang Linyan and the three were already on their way back to New Watch Castle.

Before leaving, the quartermaster had already evaluated them when they set up the sentry. Fang Linyan got 50 platinum coins, and Vulture and Goat got 30 points as his deputy.

Along the way, Staton was still a very talkative person, chatting and joking with the co-pilot who came along randomly.

The two of them seem to be familiar with each other, so the co-pilot mentioned one thing during the chat, that is, the mechanic who worked for them yesterday was an idiot. question.

Statham added:
"This is the most common mistake for novices. When installing the circulation system of the supply station, the transmission system on the exhaust valve and the intake valve look exactly the same. It is easy to install it backwards, but once it is installed backwards, it will cause The system strikes after an hour of work."

The co-pilot said:
"I don't know the cause of the failure, but it is a fact that the toilet is out of order."

"Then when this guy came to troubleshoot, he went out to shit because he hated the toilet being too dirty, and was bitten by a poisonous mosquito somewhere!"

"Now the doctor's suggestion is to cut off his swollen to the size of an apple, which is beginning to rot and flow black water."

Statham took out the jug and took a sip, then laughed and cursed:
"Damn it, I believe that if he knew of the consequences, that unlucky guy would rather choose to stay in that toilet for a day."

Hearing such a conversation, the three of them looked at each other and saw a chill in each other's eyes.

Although this is a small probability event, it is enough to show that this place is dangerous everywhere, which makes people feel shuddering, so proceed with caution.

This is not a safe metropolis, but a cruel environment where the weak 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!
After the shuttle landed again at Fort Newwatch, Staton was notified that he was called back urgently, and that it was indeed a very urgent matter.

But it is because the communication system of the command center of New Watch Fort has failed. According to the sensor, there should be a problem with the external line or the relay station. Therefore, it is impossible to get in touch with the mothership Laksha, so it must be dealt with immediately. .

But now after two hours of restoration, not only has the connection with the mother ship not been restored, but even the connection with the rest of the sentry camps and military bases has gradually lost.

In this day and age, this is a very terrible thing!
Therefore, before the communication was completely interrupted, the New Watch Castle recalled all the scattered mechanical engineers, first to solve the urgent problems, and then, Staton was the first one to come back.

After clarifying the problem, Stassen motioned Fang Linyan to follow him.

Because at this time, he needs to accompany him to the command center to read the code of the fault. With the fault code, he can know the specific area where the fault occurred, the cause of the fault, and so on.

The command center was set up forty hours ago. It is located in the center of the new Fortress. It looks like a giant hamburger with a round top and a flat bottom.

Different from facilities such as bunkers and anti-aircraft towers, the command center is composed of six giant components airborne from the mothership. It has its own flight function, and it can also be understood as a movable fortress. thrusters, which allow it to take off and land vertically, or fly slowly at six miles per hour.

The bottom area of ​​the command center is about 6000 square meters, which is almost the same size as a football field. It is more than 20 meters high and is divided into three floors.

In addition to sixteen plasma redirection thrusters, the ground floor 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 layer is used as the headquarters, and the upper layer is the radar communication room, which is responsible for receiving and issuing various combat deployments.

On the top of the command center, 19 UYK-7 optical brains and 20 UYK-20 intelligent brains are integrated, as well as 22 tactical [-]D displays. 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 sufficient to meet any needs of the commander. Its role is also irreplaceable, and it is the eyes and ears of the entire command center.

In addition, there is a heavy-duty 320mm ultra-high pulse gun on the top of the command center. The longest range of this thing can reach [-] 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 required, it can be replaced with a Krupp heavy gun with a diameter of 5mm within 400 minutes!

It can fire X-M20 remote sensing special shells at a rate of 185 seconds.

After the X M185 remote sensing projectile is launched at a muzzle velocity of 692 m/s, it will come straight to the air 500 meters away from the target location.

Then the built-in parachute opens, and the information sensor in the bomb starts to work, relying on the small radar inside to search for the target.

Once the target is locked, the magazine of the X M185 remote-sensing shell will be opened directly, and as many as 45 incendiary bullets will pour down, turning a full two square kilometers into a sea of ​​flames.
