Chapter 191 Launching (two-in-one chapter)
Several old retired mechas that were originally sealed were quickly unblocked. With the situation of putting together, General Bode took three old first- or second-generation mechas and a group of logistics troops to N City.
Together with the hunter organization led by General Bode, a construction team of volunteers from multiple countries was assisted by the hunter organization to quickly gain a foothold in N City and build a military fortress.
Country M, which has the most overseas wealth in AO continent, has become the most ideal place for survivors in AO continent, and Country M has quickly announced measures to accept survivors.
These AO continent survivors can enter the emergency shelter procedure set by Country M by simply registering their identity, wealth, professional skills and other information.
Then the transport aircraft troops advanced by Country M will pick up the surviving politicians, wealthy and scientists in the AO continent first, and the remaining refugees will screen the evacuation batches based on their professional skills.
Although AO Island is not a country with a large population, the number of survivors who were lucky enough to survive in the shelter of N City was only hundreds of thousands, most of whom were originally residents of N City.
When the new hunter organization led by General Bode and subsequent supplies arrived in AO continent, several mechas that participated in the battle also hit N City.
The wormholes in the inland have been closed, and dedicated armed unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have established a dense surveillance network in the inland AO continent.
The war ended temporarily at the cost of a continent becoming a barren land. The four mechas participating in the war temporarily stopped going out to do some rest on the one hand, and on the other hand, they prevented the monsters from being counterattacked before the hunter organization gained a foothold.
Fortunately, no monsters came to harass me during the Hunter organization's efforts to establish the N City Military Fortress.
The first step to evacuate was the Bear Hunter. After the first mecha "Anger" in the Hunter Organization sequence arrived, the Bear Hunter returned to the nuclear submarine and left the war zone under the order of Country R.
Immediately after the refugee receiving fleet in Country M arrived in City N, the Enterprise also took a transport ship and left with the fleet, so as to prevent the fleet from being attacked at sea.
The Chitu was the most severely damaged. After careful consideration, Country H decided to leave the Chitu to the hunter base. Although it could not be repaired to a state of free movement with the ability of the Hunter Base, as long as it was slightly repaired, the remaining body of the Chitu was still a steel fortress that was enough to protect the safety of the base, and the pilot of the Chitu returned to the country by plane.
Julia was originally a famous combat hero of the Hunter Organization. Before receiving the retreat order, she happened to help the Hunter Organization train the mecha pilot for a period of time.
After the Hunter Base basically had the ability to control the situation, it was not until the forward base issued a recall order to it.
Then Julia drove the Counterattack to return to the base from the sea.
When Julia left, General Bode and the mecha pilots from the Hunter Base stood on the platform and watched the mecha enter the sea.
"General, Julia is a combat hero, the billions of fathers and sons of the Bear Hunter were also combat heroes of the Hunter organization, and the Wang brothers of the Red Rabbit...
Why are these heroes no longer staying in the Hunter organization, and why are we now able to take on defense in one place?”
The new mecha driver Black asked sadly that in the past he was just a little fan who looked up to the heroes, but as the talents passed, he had to stand up and become a mecha driver.
But if it weren't for the help of new synesthesia technology, which greatly lowered the threshold for driving mechas, it would be difficult for him and his companions to even allow an old second-generation mecha to show enough combat power.
"Young man, although they no longer belong to the same sequence as us, they are always fighting the same war with us.
They have been on the front line of fighting monster invasions, and some of them will even go further.
The heroes of the past must continue to achieve greater glory, and you young people must also begin to take responsibility and become new heroes.
Our hunter organization has ups and downs. Although we have lost a lot of things, today we are not here to be declining, but to fight.
Although the first battle to confront each other ended, our victory was even too optimistic.
A land that was once suitable for human habitation, possessed rich mineral resources, and was of great importance in the global economic cycle has become a barren land that we can no longer use.
Even the transformed environment here is more suitable for the survival of monsters. Perhaps they will try to reproduce and thrive here and use it as their advance base to further attack the human world.
We are now going to make a nail, nailing the monsters to the point of humanity, which means huge risks and sacrifices.”
As he said that, the general led everyone to change directions, with the sea behind him, and the polluted land ahead, and whether in front of him or behind him, it may become a battlefield for their bloody battle.
Even though the location of the construction base was not directly polluted by monsters, the pollution in other places had begun to migrate and affect the places that were not directly targeted by monsters. The air in N City was already filled with a strange smell, and there was acid rain in the sky from time to time.
Both the combatants and the construction workers who came to participate in the construction of the base had to wear thick three-defense clothes and use corrosion-resistant materials to fight against the increasingly harsh environment.
Various heavy construction machinery are constantly busy, and as almost all survivors leave, the port of N City becomes deserted, and only ships that transport materials will occasionally arrive at the port.
"Kids, keep here, we will definitely win!"
———
Several planes set off from Country M and flew towards the location of the Pacific Wormhole and the Atlantic Wormhole that had been discovered.
They will deploy a large number of detectors to conduct detailed and meticulous detection of the situation around the wormhole as the preliminary work of the expedition plan.
The development of this work also represents the entry of the expedition plan into a new stage and is about to kick off the real expedition.
In the base, Lu Yu nervously presided over the finishing work of the Expedition base ship. General Hughes led his men to conduct the last screening of the base personnel.
Although there are not many people in the base, this time it is an unprecedented operation, even more avant-garde than humans conducting manned space engineering, and it is directly a cross-space trip.
Even if the military operation goal is successfully completed, it is still unknown whether the base ship has sufficient ability to return to the earth.
Most of the people who had family members to take care of were kept, and most of the people were not qualified to participate in the expedition in the end.
The list of finals was set up to 338, including 30 mecha drivers, 81 base ship crew members, 130 factory production personnel, 72 military auxiliary personnel, and 25 other small-class personnel.
The list was confirmed and then the procedure for personnel to board the ship began. Even though everyone was used to hard work and hard, they were not careless on board the expedition. Without a period of adaptation, seasickness alone may cause a sharp decline in combat effectiveness.
The first step for preparing the base ship that meets navigation conditions is to sneak into the sea through the base's drainage channel. This passage has undergone a series of construction in advance and directly leads to the level of diving and sailing of the base ship.
The actual construction of the Expedition will have an underwater draft of more than 9,000 tons. After carrying four giant mechas, the draft tonnage alone will reach more than 15,000 tons.
This is already the premise that the base ship is highly automated and must be considered for lightweight design, otherwise the tonnage of the Expedition will only be even worse.
Since the number of personnel in this expedition plan is not large, the base ship has little logistical pressure on personnel. The stored supplies and some survival devices are theoretically enough for the crew to use for several years.
As a combat plan to counter the monsters, the Expedition was to sneak into the battle quietly. Of course, Lu Yu also passed the mentality of being very happy with the excellence, so there was no lively ceremony before the base ship was launched.
The Expedition did not put all the personnel on the base ship.
Although it has been thoroughly designed and precisely constructed, no one is sure whether there will be an accident with a very small probability.
Except for the necessary personnel, everyone else is temporarily on standby in the base.
Feng Ting has removed many social positions and officially returned to the forward base. According to the results of Lu Yu's discussion with him, Feng Ting will be the captain of the Expedition to direct the main operations of the Expedition.
This is to give full play to Feng Ting's special ability as a "leader" as much as possible, and to facilitate the convenience of Lu Yu to concentrate on dealing with the technical and production problems that need to be solved in the pioneer field.
Although most people were asked to stand by at the base, Feng Ting and Lu Yu boarded the Expedition.
Feng Ting entered the command room, sat in the captain's position, and began to perform the responsibility of a captain to command the expedition.
Lu Yu monitored all data of the base ship in the core control room of the Expedition.
"Open the fog of war." Feng Ting issued an order.
"The fog of war is opened and the system is operating normally." The staff member replied.
"Connect the sewer track and check all data."
"The track has been mechanically connected, and all data are normal."
“Start the drainage procedure.”
The command cabin was carried out step by step, and General Hughes also monitored the entire process with the staff in the command room in the base.
The launch of the Expedition is the most critical and basic step for the entire combat plan, and everyone must not be nervous and cautious.
However, Lu Yu, who monitored data in the control room, was feeling relatively relaxed. He had enough shipbuilding experience in the previous copy, and it was basically impossible for the Expedition to have any major problems in the earth's environment.
However, the real challenge is the beginning of the future when sailing to the pioneer field.
Julia was eating apples in the base preparation room and said on her private encrypted channel with Lu Yu: "Are you really worried that the ship will sink? I won't let us get on the ship."
"My aunt, this is more than this accident. Not to mention whether something will happen to the ship, but if the monster suddenly appears in the waters outside City M, we have to deal with it carefully."
Lu Yu checked several weak error signals casually, and he did not need to go to check by himself or engineers. The robots in the relevant area would start the self-test program and give feedback quickly.
After a few seconds, Lu Yu got enough information. The problem was that several small parts were short-circuited, which would not affect normal navigation under sufficient redundant design, but if discovered, it would be convenient to repair and replace them as soon as possible.
With the squeaking metal friction, the Expedition Base ship entered a downward track and slid at a constant speed towards the ocean.
Julia, who was repeatedly emphasized by Lu Yu, threw away the apple core and changed into a mecha combat suit and was ready to attack at any time.
Seeing that there was no problem with the operation of the Expedition, General Hughes focused on defending the monsters. The matter of M Country's advancement base is already known to the world. Who knows whether the monster will launch any retaliatory actions here?
Xiaopang did not come to participate in the expedition to launch the expedition today, because the launch of the expedition also reminded him that the advance base that could have protected Country M would also become an empty shell.
No one knows how long this expedition will take, but as the king of M country in fact and nominally, he must be responsible for the people of M country.
On the one hand, the royal family has invested in an immigration plan for a period of time, allowing more people from M countries to immigrate to countries and regions with a higher safety factor as much as possible.
Due to the decline of global maritime trade, the economy of M country has plummeted, and this action has successfully sent nearly one-third of the population of M country abroad.
However, most of the people who can immigrate smoothly are the backbone of Country M. The skilled workers, doctors, etc. are also more likely to be accepted by other countries.
The top rich people in Country M, before Xiaopang's arrangements, fled to a place with a higher safety factor with a large amount of wealth.
Brother Xiaopang didn't care about these details. With Lu Yu's help, Brother Xiaopang had already earned enough funds with Lu Yu's ability.
Now that the days of leaving are getting closer, Xiaopang Brother has begun to use various means to move as many citizens as possible to other places.
Under a series of tough measures, nearly one-third of the population of Country M is still unwilling to leave its homeland, although compared with the population base of Country M, which is only a hundred thousand people.
But Xiaopang still has to do something for them. Taking advantage of the incense with the Hunter Organization, Xiaopang contacted several Mediterranean coastal countries that lack protection to establish a foundation, and asked the rebuilt Hunter Organization to deploy new bases in the Mediterranean region to protect these vulnerable people.
For this reason, Xiaopang brother was sincerely traveling around, using the dignity and wealth of his king to exchange for the support of these people for their survival.
Fortunately, both Xiaopang’s plan to protect the people and the launch process of the Expedition were smooth enough.
