Nine Hundred Fifty-Seven Self-Reliance
After Ye Han was settled, Qiao Wei found Bian Ge without stopping.
The reason why they didn't look for it together was because they were afraid that these two people would help each other, and it would be much easier to deal with them if they looked for each other one by one.
Don't look at Qiao Wei's straight-forward appearance on the surface, but in fact he has a lot of eyes! To put it bluntly, if you can climb to the rank of major general, you won't give anyone for nothing.
However, Bian Ge's reaction was much more intense than Ye Han's, and he almost turned the table with Qiao Wei.
The reason is simple. At present, the basic organization of the airborne division is a nine-man infantry squad. It takes 240 to 50 people to fill a battalion. At present, there are only 300 to 400 people who have completed chip implantation. In a word, more than half of them have been transferred. It's like taking more than half of Bian Ge's old subordinates, so it's no wonder Bian Ge is happy.
It's not that Bian Ge is engaging in mountainism, but that these people have fought with him for at least a few years. Everyone's characteristics are very familiar, and they are easy to use on the battlefield.
Would he dare to use it casually if he changed a few people who didn't know the basics?
Qiao Wei also understood Bian Ge's concerns, directly copied the previous conditions, and solemnly promised to transfer people back before the fleet set off, and finally persuaded Bian Ge.
In the next few days, the Airborne Division began frequent personnel adjustments, and finally filled the gap in the teaching camp before the deadline.
On the morning of October 1, 2029, all the commanders and fighters of the teaching battalion took off in a spacecraft, docked with Tiangong, and then transferred to Express 4, which temporarily docked with Tiangong, to officially fly to Europa.
This day happened to be the 70th anniversary of the National Day, but the years of war had exhausted the whole country, so Beidu didn't even hold a military parade, only a small celebration ceremony.
It is said that someone in Beidu proposed to make a big fuss on the National Day. Even if the traditional military parade is not held, at least the Beiyuezhou Fleet should be displayed to cheer up the morale of the army and the people. This proposal has also won the support of many people.
But Zhong Nanhai finally rejected this proposal. Legend has it that Brother Yi's original words were that instead of wasting manpower and material resources on useless ceremonies, it is more exciting to win a hearty victory.
Hmm... With the current situation, no one knows whether engaging in those vain things can inspire people's hearts, and they definitely didn't run away after being scolded by the common people.
The airborne division was very calm for the next period of time, Qiao Wei was very peaceful, Ye Han and Bian Ge were also very self-disciplined, the chip implantation was orderly, and the training level was rising steadily.
Although the daily training is very hard, all the paratroopers are veterans who have been on the battlefield. Their common feeling is to enjoy the time when they don't have to fight to the death, and don't have to work hard with the enemy.
But Ye Han never forgot to care about the outside world.
On October 6th, all the small warships belonging to Beiyuezhou left the port, set off for the low-altitude orbit of the earth, and circled the earth again and again, and there was no sign of withdrawing for several days.
The military did not intentionally keep this matter secret, but it also did not intend to publicize it. Based on the analysis of various signs, the mission of this batch of spacecraft is likely to clean up space junk and prepare for the placement of orbital elevators.
On October 16th, Express 4 arrived at Europa, and the teaching battalion was stationed at the advance base. The advance base, which had been understaffed, was immediately full.
There are three tasks on the surface of the teaching camp, one is to teach the aliens firearms, the other is to teach various coordination tactics, and the third task, which is also the most important task, is to teach the aliens to use tactical sign language!
Whether it is impossible for aliens to learn human languages on a large scale or for humans to learn alien languages on a large scale, sign language can effectively avoid this problem, and it can be called the best means of communication between two civilizations.
Secretly, the training battalion also has a secret mission, which is to protect the production line of bullets arriving at Europa... er, actually to protect the special metals transported from the center of the earth.
After these special metals are transported to the advanced base, they must go through preliminary treatment, and then send them on the space train without telling the aliens, and send them out little by little like ants moving house.
In fact, the bullet production line has never been touched, and all the bullets that leave the factory are shipped from the earth.
Due to the limited transportation capacity, the bullets arriving at Io Zero have been unable to make ends meet. In order to cover up this problem, the forward base declared that Io Zero lacked several necessary raw materials. Until the resistance organization finds these raw materials or other substitutes, the production line can only produce in limited quantities. .
The resistance organization's response method is very strange. After they asked what they were missing, they went back and studied several kinds of bugs. The mucus secreted by one of the bugs could become a very good primer after simple drying; The excrement of the gun can replace the propellant.
This is not a big deal. Later, even warhead shells can be produced with bugs. They are all made of the same material as bug shells. In terms of hardness and strength, they are completely qualified. However, bullet shells have relatively high requirements for shape, and insect products cannot achieve such high precision. , must be re-polished on the production line before it can be used.
The resistance organization improved it several times, but failed to produce a suitable bug, so it had to give up the idea in the end.
Out of curiosity and in order to further understand the production level of the resistance organization, the forward base used these substitutes to assemble a batch of bullets. Only the metal used in the primer of this batch of bullets is made by humans, and the other parts are all from bugs.
Experiments have found that these bullets are slightly less powerful, but there is absolutely no problem penetrating the carapace of aliens or giant insects, and they can be used in actual combat.
The self-reliance of the resistance organization shocked the eyeballs all over the place, and everyone who knew about it felt a little bit terrified.
Bullets are an important means used by Beidu to control the resistance organization. If these aliens come up with their own bullets, what will happen?
Beidu had to change its previous policy and doubled the total amount of ammunition provided to the resistance organization, which finally met the training needs of the aliens.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and at the end of November, the cable for the earth orbit elevator was finally completed in Beiyuezhou. It was more than 38,000 kilometers long, much longer, thicker and heavier than the cable on Europa. .
Assembling the cable began as soon as it was completed, and it was sent by tugboat to Earth later that day.
On December 2, the installation project of the orbital elevator was officially launched. After more than seven hours of intensive construction, the ground station of the orbital elevator was settled in Tidao, and the earth finally had the first orbital elevator.
When the news came out, not only the country was full of jubilation, but also various celebrations abroad.
No way, the high cost of spaceflight has always been the fundamental problem restricting human spaceflight, and the orbital elevator means efficient, fast and cheap. For any country that intends to join the space club, the landing of the orbital elevator It's good news to celebrate.
Cough, since this chapter was written, the book review area has become more and more deserted!
Let me tell you something, I can't reply in this chapter, so I can only respond here.
