Chapter 102 Dangerous Environment
Fang Linyan stood up and said:
"That's it, sir, the three of us didn't get airsick or vomit violently."
Jason stared at Fang Linyan for a few seconds and said:
"I seem to have seen your information somewhere. You have served in the friendly army and held the rank of second lieutenant, right?"
Of course, Fang Linyan has the rank of second lieutenant, but he was certified in the space. He didn't expect it to be universal here, so he said:
"Yes, sir, these two are the guys I brought."
Jason nodded suddenly and said:
"No wonder it's different from these sissies."
After hearing Jason's words, Goat and Vulture immediately said in the team channel with envy:
"I'm going, does this regular military rank have such advantages? Can it be directly recognized by the aborigines?"
Fang Linyan did not expect to have such benefits, and was also a little surprised.
Vulture added:
"If we don't take this medicine, we can put it away. If I read it correctly, this thing should be a long-acting stimulant. In short, it's a new type of poison."
"The short-term effect is very obvious, but if you take it for a long time, it will be very harmful to the body. It's just that the military values immediate combat power and does not pay attention to these."
Jason waited until everyone had finished taking the medicine, then nodded and said solemnly to the people next to him:
"let's start."
So the people next to them began to distribute the materials, and everyone who attended the meeting had one copy.
Fang Linyan took a closer look and found that the content of this document was very detailed, and it was related to a certain area called No. 323.
The information is clearly marked as a second-level secret state, and if it is leaked, it will be submitted to a military court for a special trial! That's no joke!
This document will list out the requirements of the Star Consortium very clearly, that is, a group of people will first land and clear a safe area.
Then, a sentry camp named No. 323 was established on a highland as a bridgehead and temporary base for subsequent development. It may be expanded into a military base in the future.
Jason took it easy, and a three-dimensional topographic map formed by the optical brain popped up next to him.
It can be clearly seen from the above that the landing site is a hill made of red sand and gravel. The terrain here is relatively high, only about two or three square kilometers, and the surrounding is the most common terrain on Moston Star-- ---Endless swamp.
Intuitively, it looks like an island in a swampy ocean.
The reason why the military chose to camp here is to occupy key terrain and gain a tactical fulcrum.
The swamps on the planet Moston are terrifying. The swamps can be entered on foot, but there are bits and pieces of quagmire in them, ranging in diameter from half a meter to several hundred meters.
There seems to be no obvious difference from the outside, but it will be very troublesome once it gets stuck in the quagmire, so the survey of the swamp can only be done on foot, and only after the quagmire area is marked, the mechanical vehicles can pass.
According to statistics, more than one-third of the non-combat attritions were killed while exploring the marsh.
In fact, the terrifying creatures in the swamp are not the most troublesome problem. The most troublesome is a huge purple mushroom tree nicknamed "Big Lieba" that grows in it.
The scientific name of this fungus family is called Ostrichia, and its height is tens of meters.
Every night, the mushroom head on the top of the austenitium will split many spores,
The spores break apart when they leave the body, releasing a hazy mist.
At present, the specific components of this fog are still being analyzed, but we only know that the current analysis contains at least "methamphetamine", "meflophos isopropyl ester" and other terrorist components, and its density is comparable to the morning fog in winter.
The visual effect also looks like a beautiful little purple light, which will soon cover a large area. .
This poisonous spore with a strong "hypnotic hallucinogenic effect" caused a large number of non-combat attrition.
Especially in the first few days of landing on the planet of Moston, after many mercenaries who tried to enter the hills at night to carry out search work were recruited, they fell into the swamp in confusion, and died without any sense of resistance. .
They were hit because they believed too much in the filter masks they were carrying.
However, the poisonous mist is not the most dangerous. The spores of the actual bacteria are the best killers that cause death. You don't need to inhale it, as long as it comes into contact with your skin, it will be absorbed.
The unlucky ones who are recruited will fall into a deadly quagmire unknowingly, and then be swallowed by some predators hidden in the quagmire, and the gastric juice will corrode, decompose, and become their nutrients.
And these predators will go to the roots of the austria bacteria to excrete and fertilize. This peculiar ecological cycle is also jaw-dropping.
After learning this information, the purpose of the Star Consortium to build the No. 323 Armed Outpost here is obvious, that is, with this point as the center, to provide a stable rest and supply area for the exploring troops.
In this case, with the armed outpost No. 323 as the center, at least a radius of several hundred square kilometers can be included in the stable exploration area.
Fang Linyan noticed that the tasks received by their group of logistics personnel at this time include but are not limited to:
Build four armored bunkers and three anti-aircraft missile towers in the camp. The material and equipment are of course provided by the Star Consortium.
As for the rest of the facilities in the camp, water towers, supply stations, medical rooms, etc., these facilities do not have much requirements on the strength of defense, but they will be dropped directly by transport planes after the defense facilities are properly constructed.
These conventional buildings have long been produced modularly and can be assembled like building blocks in just an hour or two.
After talking about these things, about an hour has passed, and Jason said simply:
"Now, everyone, stand up and take your backpacks and follow me!"
"Guys, I'm so sorry that you don't have time to visit New Watch Fort. We have to go to Hill 323 to start work immediately, otherwise, the bastard above me will kick my ass."
"And I, who are in a bad mood, will definitely let you all remember this unforgettable time! GOGOGO!"
***
So, less than two hours after leaving the shuttle, Fang Linyan and the others were pushed back into another Unicorn II variant as if they were driving ducks onto the shelves.
Then it formed a formation with the remaining four and took off together.
No one complained. After all, the airsick and vomited guys seemed to be refreshed after taking the medicine.
The flight process this time was a bit tedious. The only bright spot was that about fifteen minutes after takeoff, it encountered a missile attack from the Sidewinder Kai from below.
It was just that the concentrated driver noticed the warning on the radar at the first time, and directly released a jamming bomb, which successfully detonated the missile.
Then the driver controlled the fire control computer modified on the Unicorn II type to open fire violently, and the place where the attackers stayed below became a sea of fire.
After an hour of flight time, finally, the target area was reached.
As the shuttle began to slow down and then circled, everyone began to look at the environment below.
It can be seen from the porthole of the shuttle. It is different from the display picture on the 3D modeling. There are completely bushes, and there are thorns everywhere. After people land, the bushes will even reach the chest and neck. s position.
This is the most daunting question.
Because of this terrain, it means that people's sight will be greatly obstructed, and predators can easily move through the gaps in the bushes below to attack.
The firepower and range advantages that humans have will be suppressed to the limit.
At the same time, such bushes will also cause the ground to be extremely wet, and a large number of alien poisonous insects will breed here. Maybe they will not be fatal in a short time, but they will make people who stay here for a long time to be tortured and exhausted. , excruciating pain.
After witnessing the current state of Hill 323, the crowd roared, as what appeared to be very different from what the 3D modeling showed.
There was even a big flat-headed man who seemed to be a man of temperament, and scolded a swear word directly, and said angrily:
"Damn it, I have to stuff the head of the ass who drew the topographic map down the toilet! This is the so-called bare red wasteland!!?"
His words undoubtedly resonated with the others. Fortunately, at this time, Jason, the leading officer in front, stood up and looked around.
With a burly stature, he put his hand on the gun at his waist, and his gloomy face was very oppressive. As far as his eyes could see, the noise of the drumming suddenly subsided.
