Chapter 111 Raid Extinction Luna
April 16th.
At noon.
The city of Lima where the space gate is located.
Looking down at this city that escaped being submerged due to its high altitude, the only thing that catches the eye are the "ruins" shrouded in thick clouds.
But if you look at the perspective of about 400 meters above the ground, the city of Lima under the luminous camouflage canopy has been rebuilt to a certain extent.
With the Space Gate as the core, Atlas' engineering department continued to expand and improve the scale of the frontline base. After more than two months, it became an industrialized town that could accommodate 60,000 people.
A large number of Hex machines are scattered in the ruins around the forward base, shuttling between the base and the recycling factory, responsible for sorting, sorting and reusing waste to assist in the continued production of the 3D printing factory.
At the same time, a fully automated mechanical transportation system connects the ruins base of the main universe and the frontline base of Universe 06 through the space door, realizing the rapid unmanned transportation of living supplies, weapons and equipment, and vehicle components.
The size of the hangar built beneath the surface has more than quadrupled compared to two months ago.
But the changes in the hangar are not the most important point, because there are a large number of fully armed ARS, AECS and clones wearing breathing masks. Just a rough calculation, the number has exceeded 20,000.
Among all infantry units, there are many heavily armed soldiers equipped with heavy mechanical skeletons, as well as combat mechas driven by professionals. The organization can be distinguished by black, dark green, and dark gray combat uniforms. Then among every ten people, ARS, AECS, and clones The ratio of humans is roughly 1:3:6.
And all clones accompany the AECS tactical team in action and accept on-site command from the team leader.
Followed by two main battle tanks with a total of more than 100 vehicles.
The appearance of Titan and Slayer has not changed much. They still use a variable structure with four pairs of tracks, as well as double-barreled cannons and magnetic levitation power.
However, the barrel caliber of Titan and Slayer is significantly "narrower", while the length of the barrel is slightly increased, which should be due to the replacement of the latest fire control system.
After Atlas's infantry units completed their assembly, a small number began to follow their respective platoons to the designated parking platform and board the Herring Gull, which can carry 36 people.
As for most of them, they are operating as a company, and they are also going to the designated lifting and parking platform. However, they will be riding a medium-sized transport boat that is much larger than the Herring Gull——
Luna medium transport boat (Luna).
The Luna transport boat is also a next-generation troop carrier.
In the face of traditional atmospheric transport vehicles, they cannot meet the rapid deployment requirements of the company's armed department, so Atlas is in urgent need of a "medium-sized" troop carrier.
After all, the Herring Gull has a limited capacity and can be used for some general transportation services or special missions of infiltration behind enemy lines, but it is not capable of large-scale infantry transfers.
So in mid-1997, the aviation research and development department under the Ministry of Scientific Research temporarily borrowed a production line in the Accra Park to successfully manufacture and assemble the first prototype of a medium-sized transport boat.
After another two months of intense testing, debugging and production, the first batch of five transport boats was finally delivered to AECS on October 21, 1997.
In addition, at the press conference that year, the company officially proposed concepts such as "Moon City" and "Making Earth-Moon Navigation as Convenient as Traveling" to the society of the main universe. The aviation R&D department gave the new transport boat a A nickname related to the moon, namely "Luna", the moon goddess.
The airship has a maximum capacity of 182 people.
If only the infantry seats on the second deck are retained and the entire area on the first deck is connected, it can barely accommodate 2 Titan main battle tanks or 1 Slayer hover tank, and it can also accommodate 40 full-platform soldiers. Armed infantry unit.
Therefore, the AECS and clones assembled in the underground hangar, as well as the armored units composed of Titans and Slayers, will be taken care of by more than two hundred Luna transport boats with more powerful carrying capacity.
In addition, twenty Phantom fighter jets with vertical take-off and landing capabilities are located at the eastern end of the hangar. They have completed the loading process and are undergoing a comprehensive inspection by logistics personnel.
Leave the underground and come to the surface.
Two Xunying assault boats with a length of nearly 100 meters also completed the reloading process, and turned on the nuclear fusion engine and magnetic levitation function in advance, hovering at low altitude above the simple apron of the frontline base and waiting.
Judging from this posture, Atlas is planning to launch a large-scale orbital assault on the steel capital of Antarctica.
In the command center at this moment;
"The boarding progress of all infantry and armor units is 75% and is expected to be completed in five minutes."
"The air formation transporting BOW (biological weapons) is about to arrive at the designated sea area and is expected to be dropped in two minutes to implement the pioneer extermination plan."
"Ernio 006 has arrived over North America and is preparing to launch a strategic hydrogen bomb in synchronization with the Extinction Plan. After completing the delivery mission, it will immediately move to the Antarctic to closely monitor the Steel City. If the rescue operation of the company branch is blocked, It will directly provide fire support and ODST orbital airdrops.”
The various consoles were filled with corresponding employees, and some even raised their voices to give real-time reports.
Sui Yang stood by the center console as usual, but his eyes were looking through the sealed window at the two Swift Shadow assault boats in a hovering state.
Two days ago, Magnus said that the situation in the Iron City was complicated, especially in the face of the possibility that all conservatives would rebel, so he chose to ask the company for full assistance.
The request included rescuing the PPDC generals who were framed, and then, with the advantage of the company's orbital transportation capabilities, let the main force bypass the plasma pulse cannon defense line of the Iron City, quickly break into the city, and purge the rebellious members of the conservatives.
In this regard, Sui Yang chose to support and approve it, not to mention that Atlas has been operating in the dark for the past two months since entering the Zero Six Universe, which is enough to catch the traitors off guard.
In addition, the extinction virus and BOW, which serves as a transmission channel, are also ready, so Sui Yang plans to use the "fireworks show" of nuclearizing North America to kick off the full-scale raid, and also build momentum for Magnus and others.
Since the smooth path is blocked, let's do it hard.
After counting silently for seventy-five seconds, Sui Yang stopped looking out the window and turned to face the central console with many holographic screens, and called up the monitor screen installed inside the eyeball of the Homelander.
The screen was dark at first, and after waiting for a moment, it showed him the interior of the first cargo hold of the Luna transport boat. At the same time, he also used the Homelander's vision to see the large "container" waiting to be dropped.
