In the center of the Weeping Basin, a huge building rose from the ground.
Although no special construction equipment was brought, the construction became a bit cumbersome, but there are ships in the fleet dedicated to transporting equipment, and with the powerful strength of the Lei Ling clan, a fortress level was built on this devastated planet. The barracks are obviously not difficult.
If there are special construction equipment, the progress of the project can be speeded up a lot, and the construction of the camp will be stronger.
Just, why do you want to build a camp here
Carlson didn't know, he just acted according to the order issued by the commander of the fleet, and as the person in charge of the project, he didn't need to know why.
In any fleet of the Lei Ling tribe, there is an engineering leader like Carlson.
This is not only the tradition of the Leiling clan, but also has a very important significance. When coming to the Southern Alpha Galaxy and launching a war against indigenous civilizations, each of the Lei Ling tribe’s troops had personnel responsible for engineering construction. Just like this, the Lei Ling clan's legion is invincible. Although the combat effectiveness of the engineers is not very good, the barracks and defense lines created by the engineers played a vital role in the fierce battle. In the past thousands of years, the military engineers of the Leiling tribe have created many miracles. For example, during the First Greenwich War, the military engineers of the Lei Ling tribe transformed an asteroid into a space fortress in just one month, and blocked the pace of the Silicon Charm army for other civilizations in the Galactic Alliance. After winning the time to complete the war mobilization, other civilizations formed more legions, and only then did they have the subsequent strategic counterattack and the final victory.
Obviously, building a fortress-level barracks here is nothing at all.
Although the resources on the Slag Star have long been mined and abandoned for thousands of years, there are still many materials that can be used on this planet. Of course, the most material needed to build a camp is everywhere, that is, the rock that exists on any solid planet, to be precise, it is silica. After simple processing of the rock, it can be used to build various infrastructures with plasticity.
For example, that huge command tower.
"Command tower" is just a colloquial term, but in fact it is the core of the barracks. Subsequently, engineers will install a large primary energy converter to maintain the entire camp, as well as convert the primary energy into other energy sources, and transmit the obtained energy to the various equipment and pipelines of the camp. Install an ecosystem that can maintain the entire barracks and completely change the environment inside the barracks.
After the engineers have completed these tasks, the corps can be stationed.
According to the standards of the Leiling Clan Corps, even without any preparation, engineers can use the engineering equipment carried by the Corps to build a barracks large enough to accommodate the entire Corps in one day. If there is enough equipment, especially heavy equipment, an engineering unit can build a fortress-level barracks that can accommodate a hundred legions and has complete protective facilities within ten days.
As long as the barracks are completed, the Lei Ling Clan Corps will be invincible.
Although the Lei Ling Clan has the strongest military strength of the Galactic Alliance, the Lei Ling Clan Legion is not good at offense, but defense. In contrast, the Star Weaver Clan Legion is better at offensive. In the past thousands of years, the major victories achieved by the Lei Ling Clan Army have been almost all obtained through defense. To put it simply, as long as the Lei Ling Clan Legion has a firm foothold on the battlefield, it is to build a solid fortress and defense line. Even the Silicon Charm army commanded by the War Emperor himself may not be able to break it, and the Lei Ling Clan Legion is very Few have been defeated by the enemy in a defensive battle. The most important support for the Lei Ling Clan Corps in defensive operations is the unbreakable barracks.
Relying on the fortifications with military camps as the core, the Lei Ling Clan Corps can block ten or even a hundred times stronger enemies.
In the "Battle of Solomon" in the First Greenwich War, the Lei Ling Clan Corps relied on temporary fortresses and used ten legions to resist the attacks of nearly a thousand Silicon Charm Corps on the Solomon asteroid. Years, until reinforcements arrived. This classic battle, which has been recorded in military textbooks by all civilizations, has achieved the reputation of the Leiling tribe and at the same time made the Leiling tribe legion famous.
It is also good at defense, so in the previous Greenwich Wars, the Lei Ling Clan Army was the mainstay on the battlefield. In several Greenwich wars, the main task of the Railing Clan Corps was to build, guard, and control the forward base, while other civilized legions were responsible for offensive. The most representative one is the Third Greenwich War. With the support and assistance of the Lei Ling Clan Legion, the offensive strength of the Star Weaver Clan Legion can be fully utilized. As a result, when other civilized legions arrive on the battlefield, the Simei Legion has already Was defeated. To put it simply, the Lei Ling Clan and the Star Weaver Clan defended and attacked, and under close cooperation they defeated the Silicon Charm army commanded by the War Emperor himself.
This is the glorious history of the Lei Ling Clan Army, and Carlson certainly knows it.
However, the current situation is not very ideal.
Although only ten legions followed the fleet action, the commander of the fleet asked Carlson to build a fortress-class barracks that could accommodate one hundred legions, and it had to be completed within ten days. If there is enough heavy equipment, Carlson doesn't find it challenging. The problem is that there are not enough heavy equipment and not enough manpower. Carlson couldn't understand. There are only ten legions. Why build a fortress-level barracks that can accommodate a hundred legions? However, Carlson knew that the command of the fleet commander was likely to come from the Emperor Wanluo. This means that more legions are definitely coming and will arrive soon.
Wan Luo Battle Emperor mobilized a hundred legions
You know, even in the Fifth Greenwich War a thousand years ago, the Lei Ling tribe had only deployed so many troops in three decisive and key battles. If it is not a decisive battle, such as just defending or consolidating the line of defense, ten legions are enough.
Don't forget, relying on a solid line of defense, ten Lei Ling clan legions are enough to withstand the Silicon Charm army that is ten times larger than yourself.
Besides, the Slag Star is in the central region. Even if it is adjacent to the northern region, it is thousands of light-years away from the northern fourth region. It is difficult for the Silicon Magic army to launch a large-scale attack here, so the possibility of being besieged is very small. Now there are ten legions following the action of the fleet. What reason is there to increase the force, and it is a hundred legions
Carlson didn't understand this kind of strategic problem, and didn't think much about it.
As a grassroots officer, all Carlson has to do is to obey orders and act according to orders. As for why, it is not something he needs to figure out.
Of course, as a veteran who participated in the Fifth Greenwich War, Carlson knew the discipline of the army.
After the command tower of the military barracks was completed, he was not lazy, and now is not the time to be lazy. The control tower is only the core, and a complete military camp requires many other infrastructures. More importantly, what Carlson is building here is a fortress-level barracks, that is, a fortress that can house a large number of legions, and the key to the fortress is a complete defense facility, and a strong peripheral defense line must be constructed.
According to the construction procedure of the legion, when constructing the fortress-level barracks, first complete the command tower, and then the crucial peripheral defense line. The construction of the internal infrastructure can only be started after completing the outer line of defense. Only in this way can the barracks be held in the event of an attack.
The question is, where is the enemy in this ghost place
Although Carlson came to the Slag Star for the first time, he had read relevant information and knew that this planet was abandoned thousands of years ago.
This is a deserted planet, not only is there no one to settle here, even the passing spacecraft are rare.
The enemy of the Silicon Magic Alliance
Obviously impossible, if there is a silicon beast on the Slag Star, it would have been discovered by the fleet long ago.
Carlson still couldn't understand, but still didn't think much.
As a conscientious project leader, after the completion of the control tower, he began to build the perimeter defense line.
Obviously, this is a hard work.
Prior to this, three legions were responsible for the perimeter line of defense. Because it was only a temporary garrison, the army built only temporary fortifications on the periphery of the basin. Next, the engineering unit led by Carlson had to build permanent fortifications on this line of defense and replace the temporary fortifications built by the army one by one. If it is just an ordinary camp, the problem is not too big. However, what Carlson and the others are going to build is a large camp that can accommodate a hundred legions. What’s worse is that there are no residents on the slag star. All supplies have to be transported by spacecraft. It is necessary to set up a space for the spacecraft to take off and land in the camp, as well as warehouses for storing weapons, ammunition and other materials. The situation has doubled, and the perimeter of the camp is longer, and more fortifications need to be built.
Obviously, it is absolutely impossible to complete this fortress-level barracks within ten days.
Fortunately, the fleet commander was reasonable, and after Carlson explained the situation, he also made concessions, requiring only the completion of the outer line of defense within ten days.
Even so, time is still very tight.
You know, the Weeping Plain is a huge crater with a radius of one thousand kilometers, and the length of the outer defense line is more than six thousand kilometers. Even according to the minimum standards, there are more than 600 permanent fortifications to be built every ten kilometers, and about one hundred mobile unit camps are to be built.
Not to mention that Carlson has only three legions of engineering units. Even if all the ten legions of engineering units come, it may not be completed within ten days.
Of course, if the fleet commander thinks Carlsen can do it, Carlsen can only believe that he can do it.
In any case, an order is an order. Even if you don't have much confidence, you should try your best.
It must be admitted that Carlson is a very responsible engineering officer.
After completing the construction of the control tower, he, like his engineering officers and soldiers, went to the periphery of the basin to personally participate in the construction of the outer defense line.
The main reason is that there is not enough manpower, otherwise Carlson will not work so hard.
