Eti has been pursuing the attack on the floating island on the sea. The people at that time could no longer extract any information. They were just hired to destroy it. It is not clear who ordered it. The noise waveform of the submarines sent to them under the sea looked very similar to the Virginia-class nuclear submarine, but the arrested mercenaries said in unison that it was definitely not the Virginia-class.

Among them, Carbon swears that if it is the Virginia class, their head Alderick will definitely borrow their advanced frogman delivery system, which is a dry micro submarine, which is much more comfortable for frogman than a wet underwater thruster. And if the Virginia class nuclear submarine is dispatched, it means that the US side has been involved in this matter very deeply, which is unlikely to the mercenaries.

Alderick's group of mercenaries is the type that has not transformed in time. Large mercenary groups have now transformed into defense contractors or military contractors, taking on some of the business of each team or occasionally doing something inconvenient to the army. However, in terms of organizational level, former mercenary organizations such as defense contractors are not lower than those of active-duty troops, but they are slightly inferior in scale and support.

For example, most of the US troops stationed in Assyria are actually employees of defense contractors. Their casualties and pensions are not managed by the US Department of Defense, but are directly taken from the company's accounts. The specific settlement will be coordinated by the defense contractor and the Department of Defense. Naturally, there is no need for capitalists to exploit and resist employees. However, the defense contractor is not an ordinary capitalist, and its employees are not an ordinary employee.

There are still many small-scale mercenary organizations like Alderick who stubbornly adhere to the mercenary rules in the world, but the overall environment has changed no longer conducive to their survival. A very simple example. The current war is a three-dimensional war. A mercenary team needs all-round support, quietly carrying transportation vehicles and entering the hinterland, quickly annihilated the target with air support, and then using transportation tools to leave, and even transferring to large-scale transportation vehicles such as ships, transport aircraft, and submarines in the middle.

If the mission is not going well, it may also require heavy firepower to open a breakthrough, or air cover, or ground-to-air protection. If the mission fails, not only will it not be able to get the money, but you may have to throw your life there. At this time, you need to evacuate quickly, and support for various means of transportation and information provision are essential.

All these logistics support systems are by no means affordable by a small mercenary team. They must be highly organized. Large organizations with good income sources can complete such actions. It is very easy for small mercenary organizations to borrow these logistics systems to fight. That is to pay. Usually, half of the money earned by small mercenary organizations must be filled in this support system.

This is also the reason why mercenaries like Alderick feel that life is difficult. Without large organizations behind the support, small-scale mercenaries can only become rich thugs and tools to guard the house. It is impossible to become a sharp sword in the heart of the enemy.

It is precisely for this reason that the surviving mercenaries, including Nathan and Carbon, did not think that this operation would allow the US military to dispatch nuclear submarines to carry them. Their employers were generous this time and paid a lot of money. Of course, these survivors did not know that Alderick had additional hush money. Judging from their past experience, the US-led operations were usually more stingy in terms of funding, but the supplies were still relatively sufficient.

This sneak attack on the floating island on the sea was obviously a case of high rewards, but the supply of materials was insufficient, and many equipment had to be bought by mercenaries themselves, which was inconsistent with the usual style of the US military. The US military was generous to the soldiers of its own army, but deducted defense contractors in every way, let alone overpaid small mercenaries. Moreover, the US military had enough defense contractors to do black work for them, so there was no need to ask a second-rate mercenary organization like Alderick to dispatch.

Before being taken away, Kaben carefully recalled the situation after getting on the submarine. They were taken to a special cabin to rest and some people were sent to eat. The clothes of those submarine personnel did not look like active US military personnel, neither had military rank nor uniform uniforms. Instead, they looked like some military contractor or a super rich man who bought a submarine.

In short, they do not think this is the style of the US military.

Yiti summarized these situations and submitted the report to the acting captain for reading. After reading these materials, Liu Jinpeng felt that he was confused. He felt that this seemed to be falling into the trap of the other party, so he turned to the stakeholder method to list the possible behind the scenes. The one who resented the deepest resentment of the sea floating island should be oil-related stakeholders. The prospect of large-scale utilization of clean energy represented by the sea floating island is naturally touching the oil-related cake.

However, oil-producing countries in the Middle East do not want oil prices to be too high. OPEC is still increasing production, intending to suppress international oil prices. Europe welcomes OPEC's actions, and only the United States has expressed disagreement with this, especially the International Energy Group's reaction is the most intense. And coincidentally, the International Energy Group also sent negotiators to Titanium Star Group to discuss the purchase of a floating island on the sea, and of course they all failed in the end.

Could this be the fuse of all events?

From this analysis, it is found that among all the stakeholders, the International Energy Group is the most suspected. The International Energy Group has controlled most of the energy industry in the United States and has concentrated the interests of several oil families. Their tentacles can even penetrate into major government departments. The Ministry of Defense and the US military are naturally no problem.

It is not difficult for the International Energy Group to buy or use various excuses to call a Virginia-class nuclear submarine to carry out the task of transporting mercenaries. But the only question at present is, why does the International Energy Group not call so many defense contractors to do these things instead of looking for small mercenaries like Alderick?

Yiti's guess is: International Energy Group does not want too many people to know about this plan. After all, the defense contractor is not their own, and they can't trust it. Alderick's team is very small, which is conducive to mixing sand. Not only can he send people to monitor it secretly, but he is even more vicious. It is also possible that they "unfortunately" all died in battle after completing this mission.

After the International Energy Group failed to buy shares in the Ocean Floating Island, it really left after losing its harsh words. No one took it seriously at the time, and now it seems that they really did it.

Liu Jinpeng is not a good person who suffers losses and does not retaliate. Although the floating island on the sea was not under specific threat this time, he felt that he should still retaliate against the International Energy Group. However, the usual retaliation is to attack their oil wells. If it is a terrorist, it will blow up the oil wells to show their muscles. However, Liu Jinpeng doesn't want to do this. On the one hand, it is not fair to fry the oil wells, and it will also push up oil prices; on the other hand, destroying a single oil well is of no point in the energy group.

It takes seven inches to hit a snake. The lifeblood of the International Energy Group is oil. The best revenge is to make oil lose its dominance in the energy field.

Thinking of this, Liu Jinpeng asked Yiti what the result of the launch of the moon's probe. Yiti reported: "The moon probe landed in the Moscow Sea before five Earths. The survey results showed that there were Helium 3 in the nearby soil, which could be fully built for processing bases."

The Moscow Sea is a huge crater in the northern hemisphere on the back of the moon. The crater is deep. Scientists believe that this may be a site after the volcanic eruption. The Moscow Sea is the area discovered by Russian aircraft, so it is named the Moscow Sea. The entire basin has a diameter of 277 kilometers and an area of ​​19,600 square meters.

At present, the sea floating island has begun to transport a large number of fully charged batteries to the Titanium Asterisk. Since the sea floating island core unit is taken over by a robot, and the large suspended transport aircraft is also operated by a robot, high-level bio-cells or iridium batteries can be used in these transportation processes, and there are even a small amount of energy blocks, which is very shockingly loaded.

One of the almost endless electric columns of the Titanium Asterisk was already fully charged, and the second one was almost one-fifth of the charge. Even so, it was still not enough to transmit materials from a long distance to the vicinity of the moon probe. It could only be built temporarily, and first survey the resources near the Moscow Sea to draw a chart.

The lunar probe consists of three components. The first part is the walking part, which can drive the other two parts to walk on the moon; the second is a positioning device, which provides the titanium asterisk with clear enough quantum communication positioning, which can be used for transitional transmission materials and components; the third part is a simple survey device, which can dig out the soil on the surface and shallower places and analyze the components.

Due to the characteristics of the moon, the back of the moon is always inconsistent with the earth, so people on the earth have no other way to observe the back of the moon except to launch probes, which brings enough concealment to the construction of the moon base.

The energy supply of the Titanium Star Moon Retrier also has two parts. One is a solar energy collection device, which has a diameter of about ten meters after it is expanded. When the back of the moon passes through the solar radiation area, sufficient energy can be collected for the detector to move; the second is to use the components in the lunar soil for energy conversion. Due to the simplicity of the equipment, its conversion rate is very low, but it can be used as an energy supplement for the lunar night.

With these five components, the Titanium Asterisk Moon Retrier can reach hundreds of kilometers on the moon, and it lasts very long, and can work uninterrupted throughout the day, providing a lot of direct or indirect help for the later construction of the lunar base.

The simple base that Yiti sent to the past can only combine a more complete analysis equipment and comes with a multi-functional small robot. This small robot can complete the acquisition work like a collection detector. When the detector leaves the base, it can guard the analysis equipment for more scientific analysis.

Yiti's plan was to build a small entrance on the surface and set up most of the bases underground, which was very concealed. Even if the Earth probe flew over the back of the moon, it would be difficult to find a camouflaged lunar base.

The difficulty of this plan is that the underground base requires more engineering equipment. Liu Jinpeng does not agree with this. He feels that the possibility of the moon base being discovered is very low. When the helium 3 is mined and nuclear fusion facilities are activated on the earth, it doesn't matter even if it is exposed.

In the end, Yiti followed the instructions of the acting captain and switched the underground base to the above-ground base in the plan. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
