Chapter 519 Border Outpost
Border garrison outposts, small maintenance ports.
The territory has set up several small temporary outposts in the controlled border areas. These small bases have the most basic floating ship berthing and maintenance capabilities, and are equipped with 75mm fixed artillery that is effective in small-scale conflicts.
The range and power are higher than the general ship-borne 75 guns, and because it is a fixed weapon, its accuracy is also twice as high as the ship-borne version.
The fire projection area of these border outposts forms a mutually nested border line, which can accurately collect distress signals from all directions, so that the traveling ships can also get support from the territory troops within the border line.
The premise is that you can survive until the territory troops come to support, rather than being easily eliminated in a long chase.
"Received a distress signal, the coordinates are 25 degrees east of south, and the distance is estimated to be 10 kilometers."
The patrol outpost checked the airborne signal station. This new radar station can better receive the signals sent by the target and summarize the information into the display tube of the ship.
Of course, there is no need to expect accuracy as always. It is a blessing to be able to receive a rough signal.
Areas beyond the border are not under the jurisdiction of the patrol teams.
"The Peregrine is ready. Ship 701, Ship 702, Ship 703, go to the target location."
Due to its special patrol needs, the border outpost patrol team was equipped with the Peregrine class, a high-speed interceptor ship, before the official aviation force.
The patrol team intercepts at least 30 airships every day and conducts surprise inspections on them.
The monitor quickly pressed the short-range communication channel to prepare the crew playing cards in the dormitory to fight and told them that there was a new trouble.
The engines and weapons of the border outpost patrol team are always on standby. They are the first layer of barrier to the danger of the territory development zone, taking into account the protection of the caravans in the ring area, monitoring the ships coming in and out, and issuing early warnings when the enemy attacks.
Ship 701: "Received, received, the Peregrine Patrol Team received, has left the port... Those guys sank two ships outside last time, and they are troublesome to find us."
Relying on the short-distance communication transmission realized by rune technology, the large ship-borne radio station can allow ships to communicate within a distance of one kilometer.
This allows the fleet to form a formation combat mode.
Ship 703: "If two transport ships had not sunk, I don't know when this batch of new ships would be delivered... It's troublesome to guard this damn place. I have been squatting for a month. Ah, I also want to go back to take turns to rest."
The patrol team is not only responsible for daytime patrols, but also for night patrols, but the shifts will be less than the daytime shifts.
Ship 702: "I want to go back to take turns after only working for a week. The next shift cycle will be two weeks. Eat more canned food!"
There is generally no food supply for the territory at the overseas stations. These soldiers either open up fields on the spot to plant or find passing transport ships to buy some supplies.
Unfortunately, no one would bring fresh fruits and vegetables when traveling long distances. Fresh fruits and vegetables are not valuable. Most of their goods are semi-finished products from the territory.
The semi-finished products from the territory are not monitored, and the price is not high... More importantly, the supply and market are stable. As long as the goods are delivered to the target location for unloading, there will be a dedicated person to connect and purchase them, which is very suitable for these fleets to transport a large amount of goods.
The joke of the captain of the 702 ship made happy laughter ring in the communication channel.
The fleet left the port, adjusted the course, and adjusted the target to the location where the message was sent.

On the other side.
After a short acceleration, the transport ship maintained a safe distance of one kilometer from the hunting Sky Island light floating ship, anxiously waiting for the assistance of the border patrol guards.
The captain of the sub-human, with the transport ship, is engaging in a thrilling car race with the sky pirates.
Even though the speed of both sides was only 10-15km, the tension level was high for both sides.
The captain of the subhuman was the most nervous. If something happened to them, they would really die. The subordinate troops of the lords had the right to resurrect, so they would not be particularly nervous. They even looked forward to the battle.
They would only get nervous when the prey in front of them was about to run away.
The captain of the subhuman shouted loudly: "Turn! Turn! How much energy is left for acceleration!"
The transport ship that was their target was not in such a good mood as it was far away from the Southern Alliance.
They didn't care much about whether they could survive, but if the cargo could not be delivered, their families would not be able to live well.
The first mate responded: "There is still half an hour of energy left. If those people can't come to rescue us in half an hour, we will have to die here!"
The captain of the subhuman continued to shout loudly: "Then you should find a way to speed up again and find out if there is anything that can intercept those XXX things behind."
The first mate glanced at his captain and thought that he had no way to give the engine function. He couldn't throw himself to the engine to burn, right?
Even if you throw it in and burn it, it won't produce much fuel and energy.
