The defense of Jolly Roger's second base is not much better than that of the first base. In Chu Jungui's opinion, it is actually easier to fight because of the precise coordinate data. He can send the warheads to the shooting holes of the rear turrets, instead of using dozens of shells to blast concentratedly like the first base, damaging the internal mechanical structure of the turrets and rendering them useless.
Jack's persuasion to surrender was effective, and the commander of the base surrendered happily.
When Chu Jungui asked about the reason, he realized that it was the same battle that day, and Leitner's example of abandoning the soldiers in the beast tide played a role. In fact, all the real elite soldiers and generals were transferred to the assault force, and most of the remaining ones were considered relatively second-line. Even Chroma and the others could be abandoned, and they even included dozens of mecha pilots who had always been regarded as the pride of heaven. How could these base guard troops compare with them?
The commander of the second base seemed to have a very clear understanding of his own position, carefully evaluated the comparison of combat power between the two sides, and finally made a wise decision to surrender.
The base was well preserved, so Chu Jungui asked Croma to return to Base No. 1, load everything that could be dismantled and moved from Base No. 1 onto a transport ship, and then transport it to the second base. As for the restricted area in the air, if there is a small driver around, you can summon couriers along the way to protect the transport ship, and if you fly conscientiously close to the ground, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Croma took the order and left, while Chu Jungui began to inspect his trophies. This was the first time that he had captured the enemy's forward base intact.
The Jolly Roger's forward base has a complete plan. Underground in the center of the base is the power module, which uses a fully encapsulated old-fashioned fusion power supply module. This kind of module is specially designed to cope with harsh environments. Even the fuel is packaged and is a one-time use consumable.
Once activated, it can be used for up to a year at full power. This module has a single output power of 500,000 KW and a standard size of 2*2*2. At this moment, the Jolly Roger has equipped each forward base with 4 disposable fusion energy modules, which is enough to meet current needs.
What impressed the test subjects was not the technological advancement, but the Jolly Roger's wealth. This kind of disposable fusion module is by no means cheap, and is more than dozens of times more expensive than a normal micro fusion energy station. Jolly Roger actually equips each base with this kind of energy supply module. Just such a module is enough to buy Chu Jungui's entire No. 2 base.
In addition to the energy module, there are also functional areas such as production areas, residential areas, and military areas.
The Jolly Roger's standard ground-firing cannon is a rapid-fire cannon, which uses old-fashioned photoelectric and laser aiming. The self-aiming module is replaced every three days. New modules will be delivered by transport ship. Air defense uses needles and umbrellas to form a double defense network, and uses a laser early warning system to indicate missile defense. Those laser irradiation modules are also replaced every three days.
When he learned that the price of each laser irradiation module exceeded one million federal dollars, Chu Jungui instantly regretted that he had attacked Base No. 1 too wantonly. His barrage of artillery fire plowed through the entire superstructure around the base's city wall. How could a device as sophisticated as the laser detection module withstand such ravage? Hundreds of modules were scrapped. Chu Jungui didn't think much of it at first, but after knowing the price, the thought of hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment being scrapped in his own hands made his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
Fortunately, the second base surrendered peacefully, and all the equipment was completely in the hands of Chu Jungui. That is to say, hundreds of laser detection modules can still be used. In addition, there are 30 spare parts in the warehouse. The test subjects feel better now. A little bit.
It’s just that the lifespan of this laser detection module is very limited. They could have been used for 5 to 10 years in other planets or space environments. However, if they are supported for up to 5 days on Planet 4, the transmitter lens will be corroded to the point of being unusable. To date, the Commonwealth has not developed a high-transmittance anti-corrosion coating that is available.
Chu Jungui immediately ordered, "Remove all laser detection modules and store them in storage."
The former base commander who was following him was startled and said, "This is the key to our air defense! It is the living missile that relies on it to resist the beast tide!"
"I have a way to deal with living missiles, and I will install automatic defense facilities for you right away." The test subjects were taken care of.
"Automatic defense?" The former base commander was doubtful. "Isn't it true that no master brain can be used here? I mean, the miniaturized one."
"That's you. There is nothing wrong with the AI used in our automatic defense facilities." In the eyes of the test subjects, there is nothing wrong with using the intelligence of humans working behind the scenes, also called artificial intelligence. All the turrets are controlled by him behind the scenes, which can certainly be called artificial intelligence.
The base commander could not and did not dare to refute, so he could only sigh secretly.
The test subject does not take care of the prisoner's mood. Now he is standing at the door of the warehouse, watching the airtight door slowly rise. Behind the door is an airtight cabin. After the corrosive air is evacuated and normal air is reinjected, the inner door of the warehouse slowly opens. It's nothing like Base 2, where things and materials are randomly placed, and there are no high-end materials that need to be isolated anyway.
When you walk into the warehouse, you will see several separated areas. Each area is marked by a different color, which are living supplies, ammunition warehouse, material warehouse, equipment warehouse and planetary sample warehouse.
Several major libraries are easy to understand, but what Chu Jungui couldn't figure out was the planetary sample library. Upon entering the warehouse, it turned out that they were sealed samples of the original products of Planet 4. On one side were various types of war beasts, and on the other side were plants and minerals. Many samples are placed in special storage boxes. Through the observation window, it can be seen at a glance that the unique atmospheric environment and temperature of Planet 4 are maintained in the box. Some advanced storage boxes can even simulate day and night changes.
However, this library is basically of no use to Chu Jungui. The test subjects and Lin Xi's research on the native creatures of Planet 4 has far exceeded that of the Jolly Roger. Relatively speaking, it can be said that the Jolly Roger has not even begun research.
This batch of sealed samples was obviously intended to be sent to the space base laboratory in orbit, but it was only until today that there was no transport ship capable of returning to orbit.
Also in the warehouse are two complete disposable fusion energy modules, tens of thousands of rapid-fire cannon shells, various materials for base construction, and enough food and water to support 5,000 people for two months. Especially the water item, it actually includes domestic water for daily washing!
The test subject quietly sent a message to Lin Xi in the communication channel, "Are all the federal legions so rich?"
Lin Xi replied coldly: "Extremely extravagant and lustful! Our Tang family, for example, our Lin family, has never been like this."
"Really? Isn't it really because of poverty?" As soon as the words came out, the test subject felt as if he had said something wrong.
