While Chen Xin was asking weapons experts to study how to build a frigate that could accompany land-based aircraft carriers, the alien creatures seemed to have finally recovered from the blow caused by the storm and launched another attack on the defense line in the Dongting Lake area.
Of course, this was expected by the top management and the military. The fact that it took so long for the alien creatures to resume their attack was what surprised the military.
After all, although the previous storm caused huge damage to alien creatures, in fact the alien creatures lost were only the combatants that broke through the ground.
Although the number is huge, from the perspective of the military, there is not much difference between the number of combat entities lost by alien creatures during the attack.
Therefore, it took so long for the alien creatures to resume their attack, which really surprised the military. They were quite worried about whether the alien creatures were brewing some conspiracy or other attack plan.
However, under satellite surveillance, no abnormality was found.
Faced with such a situation, the military could only strengthen the defense line and make everyone more vigilant and beware of possible plots by alien creatures.
However, the alien creatures seemed to have just returned to the offensive before the storm, and did not show anything special.
Moreover, the humans they faced had further strengthened all their defense lines during the truce caused by the previous storm. They not only improved the defense lines against the impact of alien creatures, but also installed more weapons. Defense cannon and heavy artillery.
Human beings with satellite surveillance are like having a full map view at this time, and every move of alien creatures can be seen clearly.
Originally, due to insufficient light, artillery firing relied more on pre-calibrated bombardment areas and then blind firing. The bombardment effect and whether it hit or not depended entirely on the feedback from forward observation posts and aerial calibration.
However, both of them were also affected by insufficient light, making the shelling effect not good.
As the light recovers and the satellites come back online, humans can finally resume their original precise artillery strikes and missile attacks.
Use powerful missiles to directly attack the passage exits of alien creatures, cut off their lines of troops, and then use carpet-like artillery fire to annihilate the advancing troops. You don't even need to dispatch the air force for bombing. You only rely on the cooperation of the army and rocket force. , an attack by alien creatures was annihilated.
The large number of cannons in the forward position did not even get many opportunities to shoot, because after the rear line of troops was cut off, the alien creatures could no longer fill the vacancies cleared by the artillery bombardment with a flood of numbers, allowing them to rush to the defense line. There are not many combat sub-bodies in front of it.
As a result, the pressure on the defensive line suddenly seemed to be reduced a lot out of thin air. There was no longer the pressure that seemed to be broken in the next moment.
This situation immediately made the military feel relaxed but also vigilant. No one could guarantee whether this was a plan set by alien creatures.
Although based on the analysis of the current situation, such a result is not surprising, but the victory came so easily, which still made everyone feel incredible.
However, while the military is vigilant, it is also rapidly implementing plans to reinforce the European battlefield.
After having adapted to the driving method of a land-based aircraft carrier and having initially mastered the operation of the anti-gravity device, the land-based aircraft carrier and the mechanized and reinforced infantry regiment it carried were equipped with power armor and were about to set off north to the surface. West Asia and the reinforcements there joined together to gather a brigade of troops to reinforce the European battlefield.
It's just that although this reinforced infantry regiment set off at full strength, and all soldiers had received training in the operation of power armor, they were not equipped with power armor, and even the exoskeletons originally equipped had been removed.
This is not because the military is stingy and is reluctant to even equip them with equipment, but because the military intends to let this unit manufacture equipment along the way and replenish all the equipment on its own as envisioned by Chen Xin.
This is also a test of the 3D printing facilities onboard the land-based aircraft carrier to see whether it can meet the needs of actual use.
As for the required raw materials, they will be provided by the mining areas that the land-based aircraft carrier passes along the way.
There are mines that are still in operation, which can directly provide ores and raw materials, but for some mining areas that have stopped operating, they can only be mined by land-based aircraft carriers.
Neither the military nor Chen Xin himself was very sure about this test. Although calculations showed that Chen Xin's specially made super-large 3D printer mounted on the land-based aircraft carrier could meet the needs of producing so much power armor. But concerns remain about whether they will be able to obtain enough minerals.
In order to prepare for this problem, the country has actually prepared a batch of equipment that is enough to arm this regiment. After they arrive in Europe, make contact with European countries, and establish a stronghold, they will be transported from the country.
For all members of the land-based aircraft carrier, this will be a voyage they have never had before and a huge test for them.
Before they set off, Chen Xin also provided them with another gift as a pre-departure gift, which was the land weapon that he and weapons experts and designers from the Army and Navy had just completed with a lot of energy and effort. The frigate design drawing.
This type of frigate, like the land-based aircraft carrier, is equipped with an anti-gravity device. However, due to the confidentiality of the anti-gravity device, this part was omitted from the drawings given by Chen Xin.
In other words, land-based aircraft carriers can indeed manufacture land-based frigates with anti-gravity functions, but they cannot manufacture anti-gravity devices. Therefore, after the frigates are built, they can only be used on the ground and cannot fly in the air.
However, this does not have a big impact, because the anti-gravity device can be completed domestically and then transported there for installation without any impact.
As for the protection issue on the way to Europe, after equipping the land-based aircraft carrier with carrier-based aircraft, tanks, anti-aircraft guns and other vehicles, it actually has sufficient self-defense capabilities.
Although there may be some problems when facing attacks from alien creatures, if some people with ulterior motives want to cause trouble, there is still no problem at all.
Moreover, Chen Xin did not really let a single ship like a land-based aircraft carrier go to Europe.
Although it is indeed too late to build new frigates, preparing design drawings for land-based aircraft carriers can only be said to be better than nothing. After all, they will not be able to obtain enough materials and have enough time to build frigates until they arrive in Europe, but this does not mean Meaning there is no other way.
