Although Yang Yi and the others actively asked for the battle, Karl did not immediately arrange a task for them, but instead tuned out all the information related to the battle and asked them to figure out the battlefield situation first.
After reading it patiently, Yang Yi and others knew it well.
Three days ago, the Simei Alliance fleet suddenly appeared. Before the garrison took action, it blocked Prometheus with thunder and shot down several reconnaissance ships sent by the garrison. After sending out the call for help, Colonel Carl immediately carried out military deployment in accordance with the plan.
In the defensive deployment of Prometheus, the garrison base called the "Polaris" and the mercenary base called the "South Pole Star" are two supporting points, and they have irreplaceable value. Simply put, these two bases are indispensable, and the fall of any base will make the defense deployment of the garrison a decoration.
Here, it involves a secret in the first theater.
Thousands of years ago, after the occupation of Prometheus, the first theater formulated an extremely magnificent construction plan to make Prometheus a fortress. It's a pity that the ensuing armistice agreement made this dream come to nothing, but Marshal Sean, the commander of the first theater, did not give up on Prometheus. What happened after that was related to this, but it was not that simple.
According to Sean’s vision, Prometheus will be completely rebuilt in the first theater of war and will be completely rebuilt in accordance with the standards of the space fortress. The most important thing here is to install an SSS-class primordial energy converter in the center of the planet Prometheus, making it an energy source for the entire military fortress. If this plan is successfully completed, then as early as hundreds of years ago, Prometheus star was built into a space fortress.
Although limited by the armistice agreement, Sean’s grand vision did not become a reality, but before the operation to transform Prometheus stopped, the military bases in the north and south poles had been planned and construction began. In the defensive deployment of Prometheus, these two military bases are of vital value. This is, through the two military bases, the energy provided by the original energy converter will create a strong geomagnetic field for Prometheus star, and the geomagnetic field will protect Prometheus star and change Prometheus star at the same time. environment of. If a war breaks out, the geomagnetic field can be transformed into an energy barrier by enhancing energy.
It can be seen that if Sean’s plan becomes a reality, Prometheus will become a super space fortress like Kuhn-Barion.
Although it did not become a reality, the construction of the two military bases has been completed successively.
Hundreds of years later, the S-class proto-energy converter removed from the scrapped warship was sent to Prometheus in the first theater of war and installed in two military bases. In addition, after several generations of efforts, the geocentric tunnel connecting the two military bases was also penetrated.
Although there is a big departure from Marshal Sean's vision, Prometheus's defensive deployment has begun to take shape.
This is, the use of two S-class primordial energy converters can create a slightly weaker geomagnetic field, thereby providing the most basic defense for ground bases.
However, in the past hundreds of years, these two original energy converters have never been operated at full power, and the equipment used to create the geomagnetic field has not been used.
In Carl's words, whether the equipment that makes the geomagnetic field can be used normally is still a problem, but it is necessary to open a tunnel in the center of the earth and connect the two military bases in order to activate the equipment. Only when this set of equipment is activated can enemies from outer space be blocked.
Carl thought of this when the enemy launched an attack.
Unfortunately, the liaison officer he sent to the "South Pole Star" base never came back, and shortly after the enemy landed on Prometheus, the tunnel train used to transport personnel and supplies was destroyed. For three days, Carl knew nothing about the situation at the South Pole Star base.
In order to prevent the enemy from launching an attack from the ground, Karl has ordered the tunnel to be blocked.
Obviously, this is not a long-term solution.
"The attack came too suddenly. Although we acted immediately, within less than four hours, the enemy landed on Prometheus and surrounded the base. None of the scouts I sent came back alive, even if they Still alive, I’m afraid it’s too bad.” Carl sighed and said, “Although it’s not clear what the enemy is doing, the destruction of the tunnel train in the center of the earth must be the enemy. So far, the enemy has launched more than 20 in total. In this attack, although a lot of troops were invested each time, we never sent out the fortified troops, otherwise we would not be able to hold on for that long. According to my guess, the enemy must have focused on the south."
"Concentrated forces to attack the South Pole Star Base?"
Carl nodded and said, "Anyway, we are a regular army. We have enough ammunition and supplies. We have all received strict military training. Even if we are under siege, we can hold on. The interstellar mercenaries guard the NJ Star base, although some of them are Retired soldiers are not inferior to ours, but most of them are desperadoes. Even if their individual combat effectiveness is strong, they cannot fight collectively like a regular army."
"There is no doubt that the difficulty of attacking the South Pole Star base is much lower."
"If I were the commander of the Silicon Charm Corps, I would also attack the South Pole Star Base first."
Carl shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "If the South Pole Star base falls, we will not be able to defend here. The enemy will open the tunnel in the center of the earth sooner or later, and it will not take much time. More importantly, as long as the enemy enters the center of the earth, Control the entire Prometheus star."
"control?"
Carl gritted his teeth and said, "Turn Prometheus into something that is not suitable for us to live in, or even to survive here."
"What's the meaning?"
Carl looked a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while before he said: "Although the plan to transform the Prometheus star was invalidated because of the armistice agreement, the transformation has been carried out in secret for the past hundreds of years, but the progress is slow. After all, this is In the focal areas of both parties, any large-scale engineering operations will cause suspicion. So far, the main infrastructure construction of the renovation project has been completed, and what is missing is an SSS-level original energy converter and equipment for manufacturing the geomagnetic field. If our Every move is under the surveillance of the Silicon Magic Alliance, then the enemy can transform Prometheus in the same way, and even change the strength of ground gravity."
Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and the others stared in surprise.
"There is no technical difficulty in changing the strength of gravity by distorting space. Silicon-based life can adapt to a stronger gravity environment. If the surface gravity strength of Prometheus is increased ten times, ordinary soldiers can wear anti-gravity combat. The uniforms cannot survive here, let alone combat. If you increase it a hundred times, let alone me, an eighth-level soldier, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand here.
Yang Yi sighed secretly, Carl was right, there is indeed such a possibility.
"It's a pity that we are now overwhelmed and can't take care of other places. Besides, the base has been completely surrounded by the enemy, not to mention the scouts, even the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can't fly out." Carl sighed. "Before you came, I was almost desperate."
"What do you want us to do?" Lin Feng asked directly.
Carl gritted his teeth and said: "The most important thing is to figure out the situation of the South Pole Star base. If the South Pole Star base has fallen, then there is no point for us to stay here. We have to find a way to break through. If the South Pole Star base has not fallen, we You have to keep fighting."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, showing that he understood Carl's meaning.
"In addition, we must prevent the enemy from entering the center of the earth from other places."
"How to prevent it?"
"Although it is the easiest way to capture the South Pole Star base, using the tunnel in the center of the earth, but the enemy must have made second-hand preparations for the worst case. As long as there is enough time, a dragon can drill a path to the center of the earth. The enemy might have already done so."
Lin Feng's brows jumped a few times, and his expression became gloomy.
"We can use the'Shadow'." Shen Chengwen saw Lin Feng's mind and said, "In addition, we can dispatch scouts."
"Scout?"
Shen Chengwen nodded and said: "Ordinary soldiers can't penetrate the enemy's encirclement, but soldiers can do it, and our people can act alone, up to two people in a team. There are few people and small targets, and it's not easy to be spotted by the enemy. It’s just that we have to find the right direction. Simply put, which place is best for the enemy to make holes. Prometheus is so big that we can’t look around aimlessly.”
"Actually, this is also the enemy's problem." Yang Yi said.
Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, and cast an inquiring look at Yang Yi.
"Prometheus is a planetary object, so big that we can’t hold all places. Obviously, the enemy cannot occupy all places. Although the base is surrounded by the enemy, the enemy’s commander will not be confident enough to think that we can The extent to which we are completely trapped. In other words, if Colonel Carl’s speculation is correct, and the enemy is trying to make a hole, he will definitely send heavy troops to guard. From the perspective of troop conservation, the enemy will choose to be near the place where the troops are assembled. , Which is somewhere near the South Pole or the North Pole." Yang Yi paused for a while, then said, "Obviously, in order to save time, the enemy will choose a lower valley."
Shen Chengwen nodded thoughtfully and looked at Karl.
"Here." Carl pointed to the three-dimensional map. "This grand canyon is about 500 kilometers away from the base. The deepest part of the canyon is about 5,000 meters. It is the deepest canyon within a thousand kilometers, and it is large enough to accommodate large troops, let alone a few earth dragons."
"That said, we already know where to go to detect the enemy."
"It's better to be more careful." Lin Feng glanced at Yang Yi and said, "Let the'Shadow' pass first. After discovering the enemy, it will not be too late for us to pass."
Lin Feng has said so, and Yang Yi is not easy to object, even more so for others.
