Chapter 1727: Uncovering the Veil of the Floating Island Fortress

Around the sea area where the floating island fortress was built in the Persian Gulf, a large number of ships began to evacuate the area. A Nighthawk helicopter appeared above the sea area where the floating island fortress was built. on the film.

The film covering an area of ​​200 square kilometers is as small as a Nighthawk helicopter, just like an elephant is compared to an ant.

But as the helicopter rises, the film covering the sea also rises as a whole. It looks huge, but it's actually as light as a feather.

When the mysterious veil of the floating island fortress was finally slowly revealed, the membrane hoisted by the Nighthawk helicopter, like a deflated balloon, shrunk rapidly in the air, and soon became a mere 5 meters. round ball.

Inflatable barriers, similar to the principle of balloons, are a technology that will be widely used in the field of space exploration to save transportation space and weight and maximize site coverage.

However, people's eyes were not on this layer of film, but all fell on the floating island fortress in the sea.

The floating island fortress, which is truly like an island, finally revealed its huge body in front of the eyes of the whole world.

On the eight-kilometer-long floating island fortress, there is even a hill nearly 500 meters high, but this hill-shaped object is not really a rock structure, but a ship island made of superalloys. It is also the highest command center and central control organization of the entire floating island fortress.

The height of 500 meters is not very high for the floating island fortress with a length of 8,000 meters, but the proportion is very perfect. It is shaped like a pyramid and painted with the camouflage color of mountains, rocks and green trees. In the past, it was really like an original ecological island.

The other facilities and installations on the floating island fortress were all unveiled one by one. The road around the island, as well as large buildings, airports, military camps, farms and pastures, looked very professional.

If not everyone knew about it, no one would have dared to imagine that this thing was actually built artificially, an artificial island that can move in the sea, and it only took a little over a year.

The doubts and doubts in everyone's hearts were all self-defeating. The moment the floating island fortress appeared, it only brought a deep shock to the whole world.

At this moment on the floating island fortress, there are already a large number of people active, and the power equipment has been fully connected. In the dusk that is about to fall, the lights on the island are lit up one by one. The street lights and several hundred-meter-high lighthouses make the entire island Become the most dazzling existence on the sea.

On the surface of the sea, a huge fleet slowly approached the floating island fortress, two nautical miles away. At this moment, on the 500-meter-high Jiandao mountain of the floating island fortress, a huge signal light flickered. Get out of the way of the boat ahead.

After the lights flickered for a full ten minutes, the huge floating island fortress slowly moved, and the surrounding sea water was squeezed away, forming huge outward waves on both sides.

The most attractive floating island fortress, under countless eyes, finally moved at a very slow speed. That's because it was in the Persian Gulf. If the speed increased all at once, it would be difficult for a small bay to accommodate such a huge bulk.

One, two, three...

The speed of the floating island fortress slowly increased, and soon approached eight knots. At this speed, it was already the limit of the Persian Gulf's allowable navigation.

After all, there are still a large number of ships in the Persian Gulf, which are extremely busy, and the speed of the floating island fortress is greatly restricted.

And the speed of eight knots is almost the same as the speed of those super freighters in the bay.

The only difference from those super freighters is that all the floating island fortresses need to rely on their own power to move forward. Tugboats simply cannot tow such a huge monster. Unless it is a short-distance transfer, a large number of ships will be used to slowly dragging.

Compared with such a huge floating island, it is already quite scary to be able to reach a speed of eight knots.

On the march, all the waters of the bay,

The calmness was completely lost, and the long water belt left behind might not be able to completely dissipate for several days.

This is also the biggest flaw of the floating island fortress. During the sea movement, it will leave too large traces, and it is difficult to disappear in a short time. This allows the enemy to use satellites or aerial reconnaissance to find the location of the floating island fortress. Location.

However, for such a huge floating island fortress, it is difficult to completely hide it. Therefore, the various defense mechanisms on the island are very complete, and they are also ready to face various attacks at any time.

Therefore, this defect is only a relatively imperfect place for the floating island fortress, and it will not affect its use and safety.

At dusk, the huge figure of the floating island fortress, like a gigantic ocean monster, crossed the bay and sailed directly towards the Strait of Hormuz.

At this moment, the strait has been completely blocked, and the blockage time is five hours, because it takes at least four hours for the floating island fortress to pass through the strait smoothly.

The whole moving process is closely watched by the outside world, and the Future Technology Group is also recording the whole process.

Several groups of reporters from the future media company also boarded the floating island fortress and began to conduct a comprehensive interview with the floating island fortress.

The control room of the floating island fortress also appeared in the live broadcast of the future media company.

The entire control room is like a star warship operating room in a sci-fi movie. There is almost no fixed operating hardware in it. A large number of operations are completed in the projection. The operation device is similar to the lever to operate.

All the pictures around the island are displayed in detail in the control room. The large-scale micron-wave phased array radar built at the highest point has an astonishing warning distance of thousands of nautical miles to the sea surface, and the air search has reached an astonishing Eight thousand kilometers.

In other words, if the floating island fortress is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it can monitor not only the west coast of the United States, but also Japan and Australia.

Compared with the monitoring range of the X-band radar in the United States, it is 2,000 kilometers farther.

And this data is the data that the future media company interviewed the young captain of the floating island fortress, and this data alone is enough to make many countries feel uneasy.

With such a huge fortress and a radar with such long-distance detection capabilities, it can monitor any country close to it, which directly threatens the basic security of countries in the region.

Therefore, the place where the floating island fortress passes must arouse the high vigilance of all countries.

On the floating island fortress moving in the Persian Gulf, after a brief interview with the media, the senior generals in the control room all dressed up and lined up on the helicopter take-off and landing platform outside the control room of Jiandao Mountain.

A few minutes later, a special peacekeeping plane painted in blue and white appeared on the top of the floating island fortress, and landed slowly.

The hatch opened, and Cai Ruichen took the senior generals of the Red Police Corps and the leaders of the member states of the Middle East Federation out of the special plane and officially set foot on the floating island fortress.

Qi Jingjing (guest star of the book friend's real name), the captain of the Floating Island Fortress, is a young female vice admiral.

"Your Excellency Commander is welcome to Floating Island Fortress No. 1. Captain Qi Jingjing is here to report to you." Qi Jingjing, dressed in the uniform of a vice-admiral, stood in front of the welcoming team, saluted Cai Ruichen, and then turned to face the person next to Cai Ruichen. Tan Ya saluted and said, "The student has met the teacher."

Tanya nodded to Qi Jingjing, showing a slight smile, but did not speak.

Cai Ruichen also nodded at Qi Jingjing, and walked towards the passage to the control room.

"How is the current operation of the floating island fortress?" Cai Ruichen asked Qi Jingjing on the way to the control room.

"Reporting to the commander, the current operation of the floating island fortress is normal, and the data of all equipment is in normal operation. The subsequent testing of the extreme conditions of various hardware will be carried out in the Indian Ocean." Qi Jingjing reported.

"Although you are a navy, the Floating Island Fortress is not a simple battle equipment. There will be a large number of residents on it. The military and civilians will be thoroughly integrated here. The reason why I chose you as the captain is because of A girl has a delicate mind and handles problems meticulously, I hope you will not disappoint my expectations of you." Cai Ruichen nodded and said.

"Thank you Commander for your trust, Qi Jingjing will definitely not let you and the teacher down." Qi Jingjing immediately stood at attention and promised.

The work on the floating island fortress is definitely more difficult than commanding a fleet to go out to fight. The entire fortress can be regarded as a city, and it is a very complicated city. All decisions and decisions rest with the captain. , especially in wartime, will be more complicated.

And Cai Ruichen did not let Qi Jingjing, a woman, be responsible for everything in the entire floating island fortress. He also specially assigned Qi Jingjing two deputies, one is a major general of the air force, and the other is a major general of the army, both of whom are logistics professionals. , and also responsible for all logistical needs of the air force and army on the fortress.

Therefore, there is no need for Qi Jingjing to worry about these, as long as the three of them can cooperate closely in common matters, there will be no problems in the operation of the floating island fortress.

"During this sea trial, the first batch of residents will follow the troops and begin to move in. There will be 200,000 troops and 350,000 family members. I will send a special person to manage the work and urban living arrangements. You only need to Responsible for the overall operation, reasonable and planned management." Cai Ruichen ordered again.

After all, the floating island fortress is not a real civilian facility, and it is not currently open to the public. In the future, some tourism projects may be opened to increase income, but such a plan can only be shelved.

With 200,000 garrisons and 350,000 military dependents, the Floating Island Fortress is far from being fully staffed.

If a floating island fortress is truly full, it can accommodate at least 1.5 million people, and it doesn't matter if all of them are troops, or all of them are residents, it just depends on the needs.

The 200,000 troops dispatched to the floating island fortress are from various units of the Red Police Corps, including the Navy, Air Force, Missile Force and part of the Aerospace Force.

The relatives who entered the floating island fortress were all the family members of these soldiers.

According to the regulations of the Red Police Corps on rotation and rest, soldiers will have two months of rest after ten months of continuous service.

The same is true for the floating island fortress. During the two months of rest, soldiers can stay on the floating island fortress for vacation, or they can bring their families back to the federation for vacation.

This is also to allow soldiers to have more time to spend with their families, and if soldiers are performing missions in dangerous combat environments, they have four consecutive months of vacation each year.

Just like the current Red Police Corps garrison in Somalia, they have four months of vacation every year.

Many regulations and regulations also take into account the spiritual life of the soldiers. In this regard, Cai Ruichen has always taken care of the sergeants under his command as much as possible, so as to prevent them from staying in a high-pressure environment. Only by proper rest and adjustment can they Maintain long-term combat capability.

Being with your family can also relieve all kinds of negative emotions on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the fact that the floating island fortress really needed a lot of people to maintain the ecological cycle, Cai Ruichen didn't want to arrange for military members to live in it.

Because no matter what you say about the floating island fortress, it can't change the nature of a combat platform. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the floating island fortress is not absolutely safe, and it will be the target of the enemy's key attack. Every city is dangerous.

But when these military families heard that they wanted to settle in the floating island fortress, they all agreed without hesitation even if they didn't have any extra benefits.

Cai Ruichen also didn't want to refuse the time when the soldiers and their families could be reunited all the time, so there were arrangements for this at the Floating Island Fortress.

If there is really a high-intensity battle, the enemy's capabilities can completely threaten the safety of the floating island fortress, and an emergency plan will be activated at that time to transfer all non-military personnel on the island as much as possible.

This kind of immigration plan, which can be called immigration, has been prepared since a year ago. All the troops stationed in the floating island fortress and all their families have also prepared for a year. In the following time, they will take transport planes, Go directly to the floating island fortress and settle down.

The life here will start a new life for every soldier and family member of the Red Police Corps, and the rhythm will become very fast in the environment of the floating island fortress.

But what Cai Ruichen really cares about is that the large number of construction units on the floating island fortress, the Korean base vehicle deployed on the floating island fortress will also become the first mobile sub-base vehicle, and the first mobile weather controller will also It is under construction in the fifth floor cabin of the floating island fortress.

Putting a super weapon on top of another super weapon will increase the combat power. It will not be as simple as one plus one, especially the super weapon such as the weather control device, which can be called a perfect match with the mobile fortress.

Because the weather controller is restricted by the base construction rules, it can only be built within the range that the base can build. In addition, it is very unsafe if it is built outside through the technology expansion station.

Therefore, the scope of use of the weather controller has always been limited by coordinates and locations, and it can only control the weather within 3,000 kilometers around.

Putting the weather control device on the floating island fortress means that from this moment on, the weather control device will be able to work anywhere in the world, as long as the floating island fortress is sent there.

This will greatly expand the lethality and scope of the weather controller. At this point, it can almost be said that the floating island fortress has saved the status of the weather controller.

Of course, the floating island fortress also needs a weather controller. The powerful weather control ability of the weather controller is equivalent to giving the floating island fortress a powerful trump card, especially in the ocean, where nature is terrible. the deepest nightmare.

On the floating island fortress, there are not only weather control devices, but also nuclear bomb silos. Nuclear bomb silos are also super weapons.

Although the super unit of the nuclear bomb is very general and belongs to a complete series of nuclear weapons, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, the tonnage and power of the intercontinental nuclear bomb that comes with the nuclear bomb silo are quite shocking.

The most terrifying nuclear bomb recognized in the world is the Satan of the former Soviet Union, and it is also the largest intercontinental nuclear missile in the world. The nuclear bomb after the base nuclear bomb silo is built is not only far more advanced than all current missiles, but also carries warheads and strikes The distance can cover almost every corner of the world.

Placing nuclear weapons on movable floating island fortresses is also to ensure the safety of a comprehensive nuclear counterattack strategy as much as possible.

Establish a truly comprehensive and three-dimensional nuclear deterrence system, and the small iron curtain device on the floating island fortress can help the floating island fortress resist a round of nuclear strikes, and the nuclear bomb silos on the floating island fortress can also be calm to carry out a nuclear counterattack.

The defense on the floating island fortress, one of the most important aspects, is the same as any country's aircraft carrier battle group, and the defense against biochemical and nuclear radiation is the top priority.

Otherwise, if a nuclear bomb falls, it will completely destroy the combat capability of the entire fleet, wouldn't it be too fragile.

Similar to the US aircraft carrier, it conducts a high-intensity anti-radiation exercise every month, imprinting some necessary subjects after the nuclear bomb strikes on the minds of every soldier.

The same is true for the floating island fortress. Although there is an iron curtain device, after the iron curtain device, the remnants of nuclear radiation will still bring great harm to the people on the floating island fortress.

Therefore, after the Iron Curtain installation, everyone needs to do a good job of preventing nuclear radiation, and then start to remove all remaining nuclear radiation on the floating island fortress.

The same is true when facing biological and chemical weapons. These are the basic survival guarantees. When the time comes, everyone on the floating island fortress must learn how to protect themselves.

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark. When Cai Ruichen walked into the control room, the Floating Island Fortress was slowly passing through the Strait of Hormuz with the immediate company.

In the control room, Cai Ruichen came in without disturbing the normal working order inside.

Floating Island Fortress is such a huge comprehensive fortress, but there are not even twenty people in the entire control room.

In fact, this is not surprising at all. With the advancement of technology, many operations do not require too many people to operate at all.

Just like the Nimitz aircraft carrier, more than 2,000 people are needed to operate the entire aircraft carrier, but only 1,000 people are needed for the Ford class.

The super aircraft carrier of the Red Police Corps has been reduced to only a few hundred people to operate the entire aircraft carrier and maintain its combat effectiveness at all times.

As for the entire floating island fortress, which is eight kilometers long and two kilometers wide, there are many maintenance engineers. In fact, only twenty people are enough to operate the entire floating island fortress.

The entire floating island fortress is operated and driven by only one person, and the remaining 19 people are all related to information and data, mainly for personnel data analysis.

Radar, weather, ocean climate, and the orderly operation of the floating island fortress all require manual monitoring, and the intelligent system only plays an auxiliary role in these aspects.

Some things are difficult to use fixed programs to compare and calculate data. In many positions, artificial intelligence systems cannot completely replace humans.

From another point of view, artificial intelligence also needs to be controlled by humans, no matter how advanced artificial intelligence is, it is the same. With the current technology, artificial intelligence cannot really have the same comprehensive thinking as human beings, it can only be Determine the results of the analyzed data according to the set procedures.

Even the base is the same, but the reason why the base is not inferior to humans at all is that the data system is relatively comprehensive.

However, as an auxiliary tool, the multiple artificial intelligence at the base can indeed bring great help to the Red Police Corps.

Otherwise, to fully operate the floating island fortress, at least a thousand people would be required to cooperate, which could be reduced to twenty people, saving a lot of labor costs. ,

And in terms of overall operability, it is definitely more convenient and smooth to operate by only one person than by a thousand people.

The control room is the core of the entire floating island fortress, which contains the most detailed radar data, marine meteorological data, can connect to every satellite in the sky, has ultra-long wave communication, and can even contact the submarine sitting on the bottom of the sea. The floating island fortress really has the foundation to become a super mobile base at sea.

The equipment on the floating island fortress brings not only the floating island fortress as a mobile platform and logistics platform, but also a command platform.

The Navy of the Red Police Corps has never been equipped with a professional command ship for the fleet. Judging from the development process of the US Navy, there is a big difference.

It's not that Cai Ruichen doesn't know the benefits of the command ship, it's just that the Red Police Corps is completely unnecessary at the moment.

The emergence of the floating island fortress can completely replace the status of the entire command ship. Once a war breaks out in the future, the commander organizations of the major fleets will not be in the fleet, but will be placed directly on the floating island fortress to carry out remote operations. Combat command at a distance.

And on Jiandao Mountain, there is also the most professional command center, which is the most advanced equipment of the Red Police Corps at present, which can fully meet the future command needs of the navy.
