Chapter 479 Saleh's Advice

"Vote?"

After realizing that Saleh couldn't pick up the gag, Amber coughed awkwardly and continued, "Ahem. I mean it's approved. We'll expand and optimize based on this plan."

"So straightforward?" Saleh was stunned. She thought Amber would make some suggestions.

"What else? At least your current design does meet my current needs. After all, I'm not a professional ship designer. There's no need to make any unreliable suggestions. Anyway, the people from the Atlas ship design team will come to meet you at that time. With the two professionals from both of you, I'm quite relieved~"

Amber's tone was relaxed. It was obvious that Saleh had thought about the solution to the "rapid deployment of a large number of ground forces" before.

The psychic's ability to make up for the deep development of the brain has become extremely strong, which also allowed him to quickly imagine the scene of using the "planetary landing fortress" in the future.

At present, whether it is the Federation or the Star Dragon Empire, there is actually no good solution for the large-scale deployment of ground forces.

Although orbital paratroopers can be deployed directly, the size and load limit of the airdrop capsule mean that no matter how many times the orbital paratroopers are deployed, they are only a light infantry tactical unit.

In most cases, when combat commanders choose to use orbital paratroopers, they are all for some tactical purposes, such as occupying key nodes, decapitating high-value targets, or intercepting evacuated enemy troops.

Conventional ground forces that require a large number of combat vehicles and technical weapons support are obviously unable to be deployed through airdrop capsules, so in addition to using space elevators for delivery, there is only one option left, which is the aerospace transport fleet.

However, both options have a prerequisite without exception, that is, the fleet in orbit must obtain the right to control the sky, so that it can control the space elevator or suppress the enemy's air defense units when the aerospace transport fleet descends.

When launching a planetary landing battle or when it is necessary to deploy troops quickly, although the aerospace transport fleet can also force a breakthrough, the huge losses that follow are not something that every commander can bear or accept.

This is why Amber has been asking the think tank deacon to help design and develop a planetary landing vehicle after she "picked up" Saleh and obtained the gravity control technology of the Forerunner.

Now the "planetary landing fortress" that the other party has taken out, except for the temporary lack of the ability to take off again from the surface of the planet, can be said to fully meet Atlas' current needs in other aspects.

Imagine that one day in the future, Atlas needs to quickly deploy an army-level ground force to a planet to support the "friendly targets" on the planet.

However, due to the presence of an enemy fleet in the planet's orbit, the window period for large-scale airborne landings becomes extremely short.

So the 10 planetary landing fortresses loaded with an army's strength, after the combat fleet entangled the enemy's garrison fleet, began to forcefully break into the planet's atmosphere through a round of orbital strikes launched by the escort fleet on the surface "landing site".

The enemy air defense units that survived the orbital strike immediately organized their forces to intercept, but when the planetary landing fortress broke through the atmosphere, a layer of high-temperature plasma wrapped on the outside greatly reduced the attack effect of charged particles such as heavy particle cannons and charged particle cannons.

The specially strengthened bottom armor plate not only isolates the high temperature generated by atmospheric friction, but also has a strong protection against high-energy laser beams or live ammunition attacks.

With the escort warships staying in low orbit constantly suppressing ground air defense units through their main guns, the 10 planetary landing fortresses successfully passed the most dangerous breakthrough link.

At the same time, with the help of the gravity control unit, the fortress also entered the final landing stage at a relatively slow speed.

When the 10 fortresses maintained a distance of about 10-20 kilometers and landed on the ground in a ring, the area circled in the middle naturally became a sufficiently safe "large landing site".

The 10 fortresses will also release troops ready for battle one after another. These ground troops will advance outward and clear out the remaining enemies in the fortress-controlled area under the cover of large-caliber electromagnetic guns, missile launch arrays, high-energy laser turrets and other weapons carried by the fortresses.

So far, a ground force of a reorganized army and the "ground fortress group" as an attack support point have been deployed on the surface of the planet in a short period of time.

Coupled with the subsequent deployment of the Hive Core and the backup forces, the Atlas Group can use this powerful force to carry out armed intervention on the planet.

However, after staring at the design drawings that Saleh had rubbed out at light speed for a long time, he still pointed at the "half-buried" jump engine and asked:

"Is it really okay to put this thing here? Isn't it too simple?"

"Don't worry, Amber. For us Jeram people, the "external" jump engine is a fairly conventional design. Besides, this thing is originally our technology. Are you afraid that I can't handle it?"

When it comes to technical issues, Saleh, the deacon of the think tank, can't help but become full of confidence. In her opinion, the advantage in technology may be the only thing that allows her to "hold her head high" in front of Amber.

After the two continued to communicate for a while, Saleh suddenly stared at Amber and asked, "Amber, you are in a hurry to get this thing out. Does it mean that the Atlas Group will officially start armed intervention abroad?"

"In fact, it cannot be called 'armed intervention'. Your wording and description are not quite accurate. To be precise, 'planetary landing fortress' is to facilitate our ground forces to quickly carry out business."

Amber corrected Saleh's statement, and then continued: "You know, our Atlas Group also provides military contracting services."

"Do you still need to say this to me?"

Listening to Amber's words, Saleh rolled her eyes unhappily. This is the way she recently learned from humans to express speechlessness.

Then, she controlled her expression and said in a relatively serious tone: "In fact, I strongly support and suggest that Amber use force to 'unite' the entire human race, and even the elves."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I said before that the arrival of 'bad news' can no longer be hindered or corrected, so now there is only one remaining means of response, that is to unite all the forces that can be united and make the final struggle."

There was no joking in Saleh's words. This was the first time Amber saw this pioneer say this to her so seriously.

After a while, Amber said, "Why do I feel that the 'unity' you mentioned is different from the unity I understand? And in the current situation, uniting the entire human society alone can be regarded as a 'great cause', not to mention the stronger elves."

Salih: "So my suggestion is to do it at all costs, even by force."

"."

Seeing that Amber did not speak, Salih continued to say seriously: "Amber, in fact, you are now in conflict with the Federation, and I believe that with the continuous development of the Atlas Group, it is only a matter of time before you and the Star Dragon Empire come into conflict. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. When you become threatening enough, other forces can no longer communicate with you in a peaceful way."

Salih's words silenced Amber. He admitted that what the pioneer said was not wrong, and what she said was exactly what he had been thinking about.

With the continuous expansion of Atlas, direct conflict with the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire can be said to be a foregone conclusion.

Even if there are conflicts with the elves of the Thousand Star Empire due to various interests in the future, Amber will not be surprised.

"So?"

"Since you have come this far, why not just go a little further?"
