Chapter 261: Guests From Afar
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Roaring like a titan reverberated in the air, a stone pillar with a net weight of several tons rose gradually, and the Broj who lifted it was bare-chested. &.. Every muscle in his body was sharp and angular like steel, so he carried the stone pillar out of the quarry and walked towards the base. Dozens of soldiers in the back stopped what they were doing, whistled and cheered, and shouted Bloy's name.
"Isn't it just that you have more strength? The big man has taken the limelight, but I, Uncle Willick, am not a vegetarian." Willick yelled, stretched out his hand to grab the boulder on the ground, exhausted all his strength and just pulled it The stone is raised a little.
Allen next to him shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own strengths, why bother to compete with Bloy."
As the ranks rose, the differences between Willick and Bloy became more and more apparent. Bloy, a highlander, has fully demonstrated his strength-focused attacking qualities, while Willick tends to be flexible in fighting and instant explosive power, which can be seen from the path of their development.
Allen and the others had already changed their military uniforms. They were wearing workers' canvas uniforms and safety helmets. They looked like workers working in a quarry. More than two months have passed, they blasted the mountain to quarry stones, and then transported the stones back to the base. Now, the base has taken shape. Officers like Allen also acted as engineers like other soldiers, and even Lucy devoted himself to the deployment of the base's weapon system.
It can be said that this advanced base has condensed the hard work of these people.
In another month, the base will no longer need to mine stone. What is needed at that time is to improve various facilities and strengthen the most important defensive positions.
In the end, Willick gave up competing with Bloy, obediently and Alan, one person and one car, and transported the excavated regular stones back to the base. Outside the quarry is a wasteland. When they first arrived, there were dangerous species everywhere. But now, the road leading to the base is replaced by transport trucks. The outposts along the way ensure that the convoy will not be harassed by dangerous species.
There was no order in the barren land, but after Allen and the others arrived, this order was gradually being established.
The road paved with gravel is definitely not comfortable for trucks to drive on. People in the car will keep bumping along with the car, but there is no road in the first place, this road is completely blasted by engineers in the mountains, and then paved with sand and stones. This is the power of creation. Allen participated in the whole process. The experience of creating something from nothing is still moving when I think about it today.
Now he could feel somewhat of Horne's pride.
With his own strength, he led Beth Kede to push the family's prestige to the peak. The process is like opening the way, it is all about blood, sweat and perseverance.
Build your way to the top from nothing.
At the end of the gravel foot, you can see three defensive walls from low to high appearing on the horizon. There are three layers of defensive walls, so that the setting of firepower points can be denser. Moreover, the distance between the walls can act as a buffer even if the enemy successfully breaks through. Behind the defensive wall are four sentry towers. The sentry towers have just been built not long ago, and it can still be seen that the walls are made of gray and white rough stone. The flag of Leihuo Base is placed on the sentry tower, and the flag will be replaced after the Rose Queen takes over.
When Allen and the others arrived at the defensive outer wall, Lucy was helping to install a heavy artillery turret on the No. 3 high wall. Although the four defensive heavy artillery pieces pulled from the Leihuo base were gunpowder weapons, Lucy readjusted their firing components to increase the firing frequency of the heavy artillery pieces and indirectly increase the power of the heavy artillery pieces.
The truck drove through the three arches and entered the square inside the base. The truck stopped, and its own soldiers were responsible for unloading the stones from the truck. Allen jumped out of the car and looked towards the base. The base was very busy, most of the buildings had already entered the final capping stage, and various engineering equipment was competing to roar, which made the soldiers have to shout loudly so that the other party could hear them.
No matter what the base is, the two basic needs of water and energy must be met, and the energy aspect is easier to solve. With the equipment brought in successively from the Leihuo base, an energy base station has been built in the base, and the laying of various cables has also been completed. When the base facilities are completed, the power can be connected, but the water source is a bit troublesome. There is very little fresh water in the barren land. It took nearly two months before the engineering team found an underground water source hundreds of kilometers away from the base. They wanted to lead the underground fresh water to the water storage unit of the base by laying underground pipes. . After a series of filtering procedures, it can become safe base water.
At present, the underground pipeline has entered the formal construction stage, and it is not a small project to lay nearly 100 kilometers of underground water pipelines. At present, the water supply of the base depends entirely on Leihuo's support and several water trucks continuously transporting water directly from a water source hundreds of miles away.
In fact, during the nearly three months of construction of the advanced base, it was the worst period of time that Allen had spent on Pluto. Among them, Lucy was the one who surprised him the most. The princess of the Idahua family just spent three months with him in this environment. Even though Allen tried his best to arrange her living environment better, it was still a thousand times worse than her life in the royal family. ten thousand times.
Lucy didn't complain at all, and devoted herself to the deployment of the weapon system in the best condition every day, which also won the respect of the soldiers in the base.
"Alan!"
Peter walked over wearing a hard hat. This lieutenant not only participated in the construction work, but was also responsible for the defense of the base. The workload was far greater than that of Allen. The clothes on his face were dusty, but his lazy smile remained the same. It seems that there is nothing to put on Peter's heart, but the necklace that has been worn by Allen tells him that this man also has another side that is not well known.
Burying the thoughts of home deeply in his heart, Peter worked with the soldiers as if nothing had happened. Only when he was alone, Alan could see his far-reaching gaze, which seemed to have passed through the endless sea of stars and cast on his family members in the distance.
Allen greeted him, and Peter leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Come with me, we seem to have guests."
"Guest?" Allen frowned.
"It's the person who spread the death, hey, I'm not that hospitable, so I need you to greet me." Peter said.
Allen came to the sentry tower facing the direction of Xingxingyuan, and looked through the binoculars. At the other end of Diyuan, two main battle tanks lined up side by side, with the bright muzzle facing the base. The death spread pattern painting on the tank made Allen frowned. At this time, an off-road vehicle began to drive up the trestle bridge, heading towards the base. Allen's gaze moved down and fell on a person in the car.
"It's him?" Allen whispered.
Peter was smoking a cigarette beside him, and asked casually, "Who?"
"Major Luda. A guy who is not very popular." Allen said coldly.
Peter laughed dryly, and he understood something from Allen's tone. The lieutenant took down his cigarette and said, "I'll get someone to prepare it, and greet this senior official well."
Ten minutes later, Allen met Major Luda in a temporary office. The major, who secretly informed Lu Sen of the fire rifle/gun, and later wanted to confiscate the Alan Originator without permission, strode into the office under the escort of two soldiers. He frowned and looked around, covered his nose with a handkerchief and said, "The environment here is really bad."
"Of course it's not as comfortable as Shadow Fortress. It's been a long time. What kind of wind brought Major Luda here?" Allen asked directly.
Luda looked around, his eyes flicked over the faces of Bloy, Willick and others, and finally stopped on Lieutenant Peter. He laughed dryly, then looked at Allen and said: "General Lu Sen heard that our frontier soldiers suddenly ran to the barren land, which made the general very puzzled. The barren land is already far away from the border of our theater In addition, what is even more strange is that it was General Mei Lin who mobilized the Frontier Army. So the general asked me to come. After all, the Frontier Army is a unit of our army. If General Mei Lin needs them to do something, It’s better for us to come forward to supervise, so that these disobedient things won’t spoil General Mei Lin’s affairs.”
"Come forward to supervise." Allen smiled lightly and said, "What kind of supervision law does Major Luda mean?"
"All affairs here, from now on, will naturally be taken over by me. Now I have the highest military rank in the base, and Allen Zhong... oh, no. Now you should be called a second lieutenant, and the second lieutenant must report relevant information to me. After that Well, if you want to stay or leave, it's up to you." Lu Da raised his chin and said.
This is equivalent to months of painstaking efforts by everyone, and nothing is left for the spread of death. Suddenly, except for Alan and Peter, the expressions of the other officers changed. Allen asked unhurriedly: "Is this what Major Luda meant, or was it General Lusen's order?"
Luda turned cold and said, "What do you mean, second lieutenant?"
"First, the construction of the advance base was ordered by General Mei Lin. If the death spread takes over, we have to see the order notice issued by the Queen of Roses. Second, this is what we have spent months building, Luda Do you think we will give it up with just one or two words from you, the major?" Allen stepped forward and said, "So now, I want to invite Major Luda to go back. If you want to take over this base, please invite General Lusen and Rose The queen negotiates, please give the order to General Mei Lin!"
Lu Da's face changed, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous! A mere second lieutenant dares to contradict me. Lieutenant Peter, I order you to disarm these people and detain them all!"
Pete stood there idly and said, "I'm so sorry, sir. I think you're mistaken. This is not where death spreads."
Seeing that Peter was unmoved, Luda surprisingly did not get angry, but calmed down. He nodded with a sneer and said, "You are disobedient. I hope you understand your position and take responsibility for your words and deeds today."
Then he looked at Allen and said, "Second Lieutenant, do you know what you are doing? The rank of the Federation is not a decoration, and I can become a major, not all because of scheming. If you insist on not cooperating, according to the Federal Field Law Article 17, I can put you to death, and then revoke your command!"
"Or, do you think I don't have that ability?"
