The first transfer station is a thousand kilometers away from the border of the human-controlled area. It takes more than three hours for combat helicopters, more than four hours for transport helicopters, and even longer for civilian helicopters and micro-helicopters. This distance is already the limit for the current aviation capabilities of Hope Island.
At this distance, those small helicopters cannot fly back without refueling at the end. If a war breaks out between flying monsters on the way, even the combat helicopters with the strongest flying capabilities will not have the ability to return home.
However, because there are fighter jets cruising around, flying mutant beasts are generally unable to approach the helicopter formation. Unless some of the flying demon races try their best to come together and take advantage of the fact that the fighter jets are too fast to return in time to rush over.
However, after calculation, this possibility is not high, because even the mutant beasts have basic concepts of interests, not to mention that now the mutant beasts have lost their high IQ, and they will come together as a family to fight with humans without hindering them. The possibility is not great. There are fighter jets responsible for driving away those scattered flying monsters, and it is completely possible to prevent them from getting close to the helicopter formation.
For the sake of safety, Gong Yun ordered the fighter jets to mainly drive them away. As long as they did not hinder the helicopter formation, there was no need to kill them. Otherwise, it would be difficult to kill a relative of the Beast King. After all, the target of this operation is an aircraft cemetery and not for hunting.
The actions of the helicopter formation and fighter formation really caused a lot of panic among the mutant beasts. The mutated beasts along the way fled to both sides. They knew that human beings were very difficult to mess with.
This phenomenon was beyond Gong Yun's expectation. It was equivalent to opening up a ground passage for humans. However, after discussion, the plan of transporting via land was rejected by Xinghai and Liu Qisheng.
The reason is very simple. The terrain on the ground is too complicated. When the plan was originally formulated, it was based on the flight route and did not take into account ground factors. Therefore, most of the land passed along the way is an area where it is difficult for vehicles to travel.
If you go on the ground, you have to go through the process of road construction. In addition, the third transfer base also requires air transportation. So the helicopter still has to fly there, so the ground route is meaningless. .
These base stations are all temporary. In the past, some of the aircraft samples collected and shipped back were useless. You can still plan for a permanent base station, but temporary ones are not necessary.
Gong Yun did not go to the battlefield in person during this operation. Firstly, this was because the special operations group was already a veteran team with extremely rich experience, and its combat effectiveness was unquestionable. Secondly, as the leader of Hope Island, it is not appropriate to always be present on the battlefield. It is much more efficient to execute many orders if he issues them personally.
Because in this way, the performance of each group of the special battle group is directly fed back to the hands of the ultimate person in power, without the headquarters. It avoids the disadvantages that even the top management doesn't know about whether the fight is good or not, which has a great effect on the motivation for fighting.
Besides, if you can do everything by yourself, then why do you need so many troops and special operations groups? However, Zuo Zuoteng and Huo Yuan were sent away by Gong Yun.
Gong Yun did not insist, because he also knew that if human beings want to develop, they cannot rely solely on themselves. No matter how powerful a person is, he is still just one person and must make the whole stronger.
This operation can be said to be a major operation that attracted much attention on Hope Island, and it was broadcast live to all people. This has a great effect on increasing people's enthusiasm for construction. A few years ago, humans on Hope Island were still huddled in Hope Island struggling to survive. In just ten years, they have begun large-scale exploration of the depths of the mainland. This is absolutely It's something to be proud of.
Nowadays, even the four major bases no longer point fingers at Hope Island's behavior, because Hope Island now doesn't take the opinions of the four major bases seriously at all.
The Black Sea base has also become quite low-key and no longer makes any remarks at joint meetings. Some political suggestions for Hope Island will also be actively adopted and implemented.
The Red Sea Base, Bashan Base, and Xiangdao Base rarely mention the Black Sea Base, and they seem to have acquiesced in the alliance between the Black Sea Base and Hope Island.
But both sides know that the next key point is not what Hope Island has done or is doing. How much development Hope Island has received, the most critical thing is the Black Sea Rescue Plan.
In other words, if Hope Island's rescue operation against the Black Sea Base is finally successful, then the influence of Hope Island Base will be greatly improved, and it may even become the leader of mankind. After all, Hope Island can influence the situation of the Black Sea base, which means it can affect any base.
The decision-makers of Hope Island all know that it is not only the people of Hope Island who are extremely concerned about this operation, but also many satellites in space are watching here. Because once this operation is successful, the aviation technology of Hope Island will be directly upgraded to a height that all human bases look up to, and it is also possible to annex the Black Sea base. In that case, Hope Island's overall strength will not only improve its aviation capabilities.
No matter how the Black Sea base declines, its foundation cannot be ignored. Its technology is still there, but it has just lost its ability to execute.
The first base setting point was set up by Rong Ran and Qin Yao very uniquely. Its location avoided the activity area of mutant beasts and was located on an island inside a swamp lake.
There are no large mutant beasts on this island except for some amphibious mutant beasts that live in the swamp. Because of their weight, they simply cannot cross the swamp area to invade the first base, and their bodies will get stuck in the swamp and cannot escape.
Therefore, the special operations team only needs to clean up the amphibious mutant beasts on the island, and then just ensure that the construction department is not attacked.
Therefore, the construction of the first base went very smoothly. After the first batch of one thousand special operators landed, they immediately started a clearing operation. The second batch landed the next day, and the cleanup accelerated again. After the members of the Thousand Lives Special Forces landed on the third day, the mutant beasts entrenched on the island began to flee.
Gong Yun ordered to temporarily stop the transportation of the special battle group and start the transportation of construction personnel. At the same time, the transportation of materials and construction materials was also carried out.
Because it is a very small island, the total area is only 0.5 kilometers. Therefore, there cannot be any ready-made building materials on it, not even a few ordinary stones.
Therefore, all the materials were transported by helicopter, and the first arriving construction crews only had to level the land.
Some machinery was dismantled and transported to be reassembled, and then work began day and night.
The first step went well. Xinghai left his seat and moved his waist in the office with a smile on his face. Since quelling the chaos caused by institutional changes on the island. Xinghai's image has changed somewhat towards that of Liu Qisheng. He is always smiling and no longer always worried.
He is still the owner of the island in name, but he no longer has the main idea on many important decisions. The power of the entire Hope Island base has been completely passed on to Gong Yun. Because he knew that once he intervened, he would never be able to get rid of it. Now he is only responsible for some routine issues.
However, Gong Yun did not let him go, even if he was old, he would squeeze out the last bit of oil and water, and passed the day-to-day responsibility of the City of Hope to Xinghai. He knew that Xinghai was tired of dealing with those officials for so many years and didn't want to be the same as before.
