Cleaning up the battlefield is always a good job, even on Planet 4. Chu Jungui does not lack energy, metals, or even rare metals. What he lacks most is people.
This time the Knights of the Round Table left nearly a hundred chariots, and most of the crew members were still alive. Moreover, a considerable number of infantrymen who were preparing to clear the battlefield had to surrender because their vehicles were destroyed. On Planet 4, where beasts are everywhere, a person wearing only a suit of armor cannot play any survival game unless he is a test subject.
This roughly calculates that Chu Jungui has more than 800 prisoners of war in total. Various wreckage and remaining weapons and ammunition are also a good resource.
The rough-level tanks that Chu Jungui finally built were beaten down to only 15, but obviously the losses of the Round Table warriors were even more severe.
An unexpected bonus was that they captured another major general this time, the mecha pilot whose leg was broken by Chu Jungui at the beginning. According to his explanation, the current commander of the Round Table Knights is named Gamble. He is a young general of the entire federation. He has outstanding military exploits and is also a war madman.
As for the ground troops being slower than the missiles, the reason is actually the environment of Planet 4. They got lost inexplicably and were delayed for several hours before reaching their position, otherwise they would have appeared as soon as the missiles landed. In that case, Chu Jungui would not have time to ambush the troops, nor would he be able to knock out the opponent's rearguard and personnel carriers with one strike.
Chu Jun was standing at the head of the fortress, chatting wordlessly with the major general prisoner, when he saw Le Mans running over with a piece of armor in his hands. As soon as he came up, he said: "Boss! I have antimony." We have it, we have rhenium, we have everything!”
Chu Jungui took it and looked at it, thinking that this was a common tank armor. Is there anything strange about it? After Le Mans explained it, Chu Jungui realized that this kind of armor was made of a special alloy. In order to enhance its performance, a variety of rare metals were added to it. For the base, this is the source of rare metals. No matter how small the content is in armor pieces, it is still much higher than natural ores.
It is not easy to separate and purify these elements. The most important thing is to consume a lot of energy. But Chu Jungui lacked everything except energy.
None of the tanks previously invested by the Lancers and Jolly Roger have used this armor. It cannot be said that the Knights of the Round Table are more wealthy, but after losing the Shadow of Doom, the Federation really paid attention to the difficulty of the ground battle on Planet 4.
As for the treatment of prisoners, it is the same as before. The so-called old way is to collect everyone's low-level permissions and control personal terminals, which means controlling the armor. Those who are willing to surrender are directly recruited, and those who are unwilling to surrender are sent to work in factories. A few die-hard elements are directly stripped naked and thrown into air-tight rooms. This kind of airtight room is more effective than any other cell. Without a breathing mask, it is exposed to the atmosphere of Planet 4 and its survival time is no more than 2 minutes.
The treatment in the cells is naturally not very good. Although the Doomsday Shadow Fortress is large enough, there is no extra space for the prisoners, so each prisoner is allocated only 0.5 square meters of area.
Following the precedents of Roland and Wilson, most of the captives surrendered happily. They knew that there was little hope of rescue. On the other hand, Chu Jungui's identity as an agent was particularly useful in absorbing prisoners. These are professional soldiers. They cannot be regular soldiers, so they are not bad as mercenaries.
When the final results were tallied, Chu Jungui defeated 300 million federal troops at a cost of roughly 10 million, while also recovering 20 million worth of supplies.
Among the prisoners, 500 surrendered directly, more than 200 were willing to work, and there were only a few dozen die-hard ones. As a result, Chu Jun had to separate an area in the existing cell to meet the per capita standard of 0.5 square meters.
With this group of people, and the continued completion of the newly added power furnace, it is expected that the production capacity of the Doomsday Shadow Fortress will be doubled again in two days.
During this battle, the fortress suffered a lot of powerful missiles and artillery shells, and the main structure was tested again. The results show that the main structure of the fortress is extremely strong, leaving a lot of design redundancy, which is now in use. Chu Jungui estimated that the strength of the main structure can roughly withstand a direct bombardment from a 20,000-ton nuclear bomb.
In this way, Chu Jungui had a difficult choice. The advantage of fortification is that production capacity can be quickly increased, and a large-scale base can be established quickly. And the most important thing is that it can deal with the beast tide.
The bad thing is that the coordinates are determined, which will lead to a large number of attacks. For example, the wave of missile attacks earlier today can come once a day. Federal missiles are not living missiles from the beast horde. They are difficult to intercept, and they cannot always be counted on to miss their mark. Those scientists in the Federation are not vegetarians. Even if their IQ is halved on the surface of the planet, it will not be affected on the orbital station and they will be able to overcome the problem sooner or later.
Looking at the soldiers who were still working hard to clean the battlefield, Chu Jungui repeatedly weighed between fixed and mobile bases, and was a little hesitant. At this time Le Mans came over again. This time, while cleaning the battlefield, I accidentally found the remains of some missile warheads. This is the remains of a navigation component. With Chu Jungui's knowledge base, he could only recognize that it was a primitive inertial navigation device, but he couldn't tell if he went deeper.
Le Mans carefully opened the damaged envelope, pointed to the parts as fine as hair inside, and said: "The cause of the missile's yaw has been found. Some parts in the navigator are magnetized. Logically speaking, this should not be done. Look. The impact of the planet's magnetic field is much greater than expected, and even this half-mechanical and half-electronic product cannot escape."
Chu Jungui felt something in his mind. If even this specially primitiveized missile could not adapt to the environment on the planet's surface, then the progress of federal research would be much slower than expected. In this case, he should still have time.
Chu Jungui built a model and initially predicted that it would take at least ten days for the opponent to solve the gyroscope problem. This is still based on the spacecraft exchanging data twice a day. If the Round Table knights were replenished only once a day according to what the prisoner said, then the research process would have to add an additional two days.
It can take as little as ten days or as long as twelve days. This period of time is enough for Chu Jungui to do many things.
Chu Jungui looked back at the shadow of doom under his feet. The greatest value of this fortress is the huge amount of infrastructure work and material consumption. He himself wanted to build a fully functional fortress that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, which would take several months. In addition, the Lancers chose this place to build a fortress, and terrain factors were also one of them. The terrain around the fortress is flat and there are basically no big obstacles, so defensive firepower can be used freely.
To be honest, it was really difficult for Chu Jungui to give up the Shadow of Doom. If this fortress had been left in peacetime, it would have been sold for one billion or eighty million.
