The one hour break is over.
The "trial run" predicted by Lieutenant Dongye did not come. Perhaps it was canceled directly according to the "back door" reserved before; it may also be replaced by the on-site inspection by Colonel Fang Shu.
Without giving the Fifth Mobile Company any extra time, a new mission has been assigned.
In fact, there is no need for specific orders. The dull vibration and roar that can be felt here at the temporary station is clearer and more intense than during the previous glacier avalanche; and the "Xuanjing Array" that spans 700 kilometers from the main base is transmitted to everyone. "The power of blessing and the dazzling trajectory formed by it are declaring:
A more tragic war began.
As the chief officer of the fifth mobile company, Ronan immediately accepted the instructions from his superiors, and based on his own understanding and brief communication on the discussion channel, he conveyed to all the personnel of the fifth company:
"According to the requirements of the brigade headquarters, in the next two days and twenty hours, we will advance the 'extension' of the infrastructure module 150 kilometers... to here."
Ronan identified a point on the projected three-dimensional battlefield map of the asteroid area: it had already passed far beyond the glacier blocking the road ahead and reached a large crustal fracture zone.
There was a slight commotion in the temporary residence.
The current standard infrastructure modules produced and delivered by the Asteroid Battlefield are two kilometers in length. They used to routinely install the upper and lower layers in parallel. In other words, in the next twenty hours, they will complete the installation and connection of 150 standard infrastructure modules and perform corresponding maintenance work.
Even if the initial installation is completed by a "positioning vehicle" dispatched by the "Basic Module Catalytic Library", the frontline engineer brigade is only responsible for the division of "worker grids" and equipment installation in the connecting section and reserved tunnels. The problem is that the current flow of freezing air and ice rushing down from the "Glacier Fortress" has a corrosive effect on the basic building blocks, and maintenance may be ten times more difficult than installation.
This is simply an impossible task.
But then Ronan said: "Before the operation, we must seal up all the installation and maintenance data, including the 'Zeng-124 module', and hand it over to the response force. After that, every two modules installed will be handed over in the same way." ……quartermaster."
Master Lu Yi straightened his body.
Ronan said: "You are specifically responsible for the confirmation, preservation, verification and handover of all data. Each handover must be signed by you, Chief Lezuo and me, and ensure that the responding troops sign for it accordingly. If the war is fierce, If relevant personnel are absent, they will be filled in according to the preset sequence.”
Master Lu Yi could only respond. After sitting down, he looked at each other in confusion with the others.
At this time, a new group of blessing power passed through the temporary station area, forming a dazzling "light track" on the edge of the cave wall, and reflected jumping light waves on everyone's double-layered armor.
Ronan didn't mention the difficulty of the mission, but what he said clearly meant that they would not care about maintenance at all and would focus on moving forward.
This style of conduct is very different from the previous step-by-step model, but it does simplify many problems.
As for what to do if the lines of the underlying infrastructure module are cut off, and how to deal with issues such as being strangled face to face with the Glacier Fortress and the Vicious Living Body, it is not that no one has thought about it, and it is not that no one is worried. However, when various task arrangements are released intensively, they are quickly fragmented by a large amount of information.
Ronan looked at the table and said: "The master chief will arrange the distribution and sequence of the array personnel. Time is tight. Those whose names are called will be in place immediately. We will arrange the specific tasks on the road."
Chief Lezuo almost stopped at the end of Ronan's words and loudly named him:
"Single farmer."
"yes."
"Left endpoint, sequence 1."
Sergeant Shannong, who had been prepared for a long time, still took a deep breath, saluted Ronan and Le Zuo at the front, and walked straight out.
The companions on both sides reached out and slapped various parts of his armor with their armor-covered palms.
As Sergeant Shannong walked out of the temporary station, the heating equipment was already heating up outside, and new noise was aroused in an area.
Master Chief LeZo continued to name names:
"Bao Long."
"have!"
In fact, Sergeant Bao Long, who had just returned not long ago, stood up reflexively. The double-layered armor had been cleaned and maintained in an emergency. Except for a slight hissing sound at the joints, there was no other noise.
"Two columns from the left, sequence 1."
Bao Long responded loudly, then grinned, stretched out his hands to both sides, lightly collided with the metal forearms extended by others around him, and then walked out without looking back.
"Jiaoyan."
"Hong Lu."
"Lei Xian."
…
Names, positions, sequences, and all the "Fixed Formation" information have actually been sent to everyone through the mission channel. The requirements and information contained in them are much richer and more detailed than what Chief Lezuo said. According to Ronan's wishes, everyone should just follow the relevant information and go to their respective places.
However, medical officer Tao Xian suggested that he do a simple roll call, saying it would have a more "ceremonial feel." And Master Chief Lezo, who has always been highly pragmatic, actually agreed very much.
This is probably the usual practice in the Tianyuan Army, and Ronan followed his lead.
To be honest, watching the people in the temporary camp leaving one by one, fewer and fewer people bumping arms and fists, and the roar of the machines and equipment outside getting louder and louder, he was inevitably a little touched in his heart.
But soon, Ronan lowered his head and checked in the projection work area whether the relevant personnel were in place, whether the sequence of each position was preset thoroughly, and whether they were connected properly to ensure that during the fierce battle, the progress of the operation and the array would not be affected due to casualties. architecture.
In the end, only Ronan, Le Zuo, Tao Xian and Lu Yi were left in the temporary station. They looked at each other and walked out together without saying anything...
Well, Lu Yi raised his hand and then stood awkwardly.
Medical Officer Tao Xian smiled, came back, bumped his fists with him, and pushed him out.
With two soft sounds, Le Zuo patted his head, and Ronan could only pat his butt.
Soon, all four people boarded the confirmed vehicle.
There was no one left at the temporary residence.
Ronan made the final addition before departure on the mission channel: "This phase of the mission is a full-load operation. The Xuanjing array will be supported around the clock, and there will be front-line combat troops to cooperate with the project advancement. To this end, we must have all personnel and equipment at all times to maintain The 'Fixed Formation' array requires that once any decoupling phenomenon is discovered, it must be reported immediately; similarly, if the relevant personnel are absent during intense fighting, they will be filled in according to the preset sequence; if the sequence is interrupted, it will be handled by the nearest personnel..."
Later, Ronan gave an explanation: "What I mean is, if this kind of thing happens around you and you are lucky to be alive, then don't hesitate and take up the vacant position immediately, even if you have no skills in the relevant position." Similarly, if you still have breath and are sure that you can no longer hold on, no matter who is around you, even if it is a combat soldier who knows nothing but shooting and killing people, if you pull him over, you will die at that time. Not too late. In this case, we at least have a chance to rely on dual intervention of human power and artificial intelligence."
A somewhat ridiculous laughter sounded on the channel, and quickly disappeared again.
Ronan thought for a while and added: "I know that your operational capabilities are far better than that of the host machine 700 kilometers away. So, please... let's go!"
The torrent of vehicles and equipment immediately moved forward, and in the discussion channel with only three people, Master Chief Lezuo spoke:
"This is one of the worst pre-war mobilizations I've ever heard, except for the last sentence...it ranks second to last."
Medical officer Tao Xian habitually maintained: "At least the trend is promising."
Ronan hummed: "I hope it will always be like this..."
After a pause, he said again: "Master Chief, it's time to arrange specific tasks."
When the new phase of the mission just started, it was not as turbulent and tragic as imagined, at least on the surface it looked that way.
After going through the initial running-in phase of the "Fixed Formation", Ronan and Master Chief Lezu even had time to find a substitute and find a secluded place to chat - they were wandering on the edge of the code of conduct, on the surface of a simply disguised Observation point to watch the progress of the "Charge" mission phase from a distance.
The "deep grooves" that the "Yingguang Divine Bird" had previously cut and divided the earth's surface have been left far behind by them.
The first wave of twenty groups of infrastructure modules, as well as the "positioning vehicles" carrying them, dropped directly to the "Glacier Fortress" by airdrop according to the preset position. What flew down simultaneously with them was an unprecedented heavy The fire suppression and the strong area coverage of the "Yuguang Divine Bird" almost "submerged" all the glaciers within hundreds of square kilometers.
At the same time, the blessing power of the "Xuanjing Array" guided from the main base is "over-limited and enriched" at infrastructure modules that have encountered targeted erosion such as "Zeng-124". While removing the relevant "toxins", the Maharaja The power of "creation" at the highest level can reconstruct damaged modules and change their properties.
Limited by the current range of perception, Ronan did not know whether this "unlimited enrichment" was only in the front line area where they were located, or whether it covered the entire asteroid. But just from what he saw, it undoubtedly showed the determination of the asteroid regional battlefield command center headed by Lord Chun to complete the "demi-dimensionalization" of the planet at all costs.
This determination is so strong that in the initial stage of the mission, all the frontline engineering troops have to do is to correct the position of each module, guide the "positioning vehicle" to settle at a fixed point, and complete the connection and installation work. There is almost no difference from the previous work - except that the insertion position is particularly forward.
The front-end team had almost passed through the entire "activated fortress" area of the glacier. They were faced with extraterritorial species and vicious living creatures pouring in from all directions. These monsters, whose specific shapes could no longer be seen, struggled under the heavy firepower and the strong light and flames of the "Yuguang Divine Bird". They still attacked repeatedly and tried every means to destroy the huge "positioning vehicle" and the built-in "basic module". ”, almost endlessly.
However, what they encountered was not non-combat engineering teams and engineering equipment, but front-line combat troops that had been airborne and interspersed in place, and the burning steel jungle that followed.
