Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 96 Key Findings
The freighter entered the port, and the gale of ice and snow subsided.

A huge energy barrier enveloped the port, and also isolated the outside wind and low temperature.The energy barrier is extremely powerful, and the top is covered with tens of meters of snow.The pier where the freighter docked was dug out of the ice, and even inside the port, the temperature was below freezing.

The four escorting warships did not follow up and left after the fleet entered the port.

As the freighter approached the dock, a line of air-cushion trucks controlled by the optical computer drove onto the dock, and the crane began to put the containers in the cargo hold onto the air-cushion truck.The entire unloading process is controlled by the optical brain, fully automatic, and does not require human manipulation. Only a few guards are in a daze at a distance.

Loaded with containers, the convoy leaves the dock and heads for the warehouse area.

The port is so big that you can't see the edge at a glance, but there are very few people in the port.Except for the scattered guards, everyone else is in the transfer center.

Relying on optical brains with elementary artificial intelligence, all dock workers have to do is make arrangements for transportation.

In less than half an hour, all the containers were unloaded from the four freighters that were docked at the dock, and then the other four freighters were able to complete the unloading operation in two hours.

The efficiency is high, even the spaceport of the home galaxy is at this level.

However, the existence of this port is not long.

The pier is formed by digging on the ice, including cranes and air-cushion trucks, all of which are modular equipment that can be self-assembled under the control of the optical computer.Even warehouses, roads, watchtowers for guards, and port dispatch centers are assembled from modular equipment.

All military equipment!

In the previous Greenwich Wars, the number one problem of the Human Federation was not that the enemy was too strong, nor was it that it could not recruit enough soldiers, but that the logistical support could never keep up with the consumption of the battle.It can even be said that how far the legions of the Human Federation can go on the battlefield is determined by logistical support.This is not only a problem unique to the Human Federation, but also a problem for the entire Galactic Federation.For example, at the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Galactic Alliance advanced the battle line to the Northern Alpha Galaxy and won the initiative on the battlefield, but it ceased war with the Silicon Magic Alliance, mainly because the logistics support could not keep up.At that time, Zhan Ruilin still accepted the armistice agreement in a fit of anger, and it was the same.

In order to solve the problem of logistical support, the Human Federation invested a lot of resources and formulated a set of effective regulations and norms.

Among them is the uniform safeguards doctrine.

For example, all the heavy equipment of the Human Federation, including heavy tanks, armored combat vehicles, and air-cushion trucks, have three sizes each in length, width, and height.For another example, all ammunition, including electromagnetic guns and electromagnetic guns, strictly adopts standard calibers.In addition, energy systems and power equipment, and even military rations, all have unified specifications.All of this is to improve the efficiency of logistics support.

The resulting benefits are also obvious.

Take this port as an example, as long as the various functional modules are delivered, the engineering team can complete the basic construction within a few hours and then put it into operation.

In the early stage of the "Dawn of Peace" campaign in the Fifth Greenwich War, the engineering troops of the third war zone even built a warship that could dock hundreds of warships in one day, accommodate millions of officers and soldiers, and support dozens of legions on the front line at the same time. Battlestar Battlestar.

Obviously, it must be the engineering force that can build this port in a short period of time.

Luo Zhenyu is the only one who can mobilize engineering troops in peacetime and build a port on Shennong without telling the theater headquarters.

"This is the last batch, I checked and it's ok."

"Is there an event tonight?"

The tall officer who started to speak said with a wry smile, "What kind of activities can there be in this ghostly place?"

"Yeah, the ghost knows when I can leave here."

"It should be soon."

"Any news?" Another chunky officer asked.

"I've also heard that there seems to be some action on the side of the iron tower. Lin Liexun has gone to the lair of the Special Investigation Brigade. Actions will definitely be taken in the near future."

"So we'll be home soon."

"I hope so." The tall officer stood up and said, "It's not bad today, nothing troublesome, I'll leave the finishing work to you."

"Okay, see you later in the restaurant."

After patting the short and fat officer on the shoulder, the tall officer turned and walked towards the door.

There are a total of six people in the dispatch center, because there are fleets arriving at any time, so the six people are divided into three shifts, and someone is on duty at the dispatch center at any time.

Now, there is still half an hour before the changing of the guard.

Scheduling work is very boring, the main thing is to count and check the goods sent by the fleet, number all the containers, and then record them in the optical brain.As for where these goods will be used and when they will be shipped out, they are all controlled by the optical brain, without the intervention of dispatchers.

In fact, these dispatchers have no idea where the goods are going.

They only know that there are freighters unloading on the dock at any time, and all the containers are transported to the warehouse, but the warehouse is never full.

Of course, dispatchers don't care where the shipment goes, that's not their concern.

Walking to the door, the tall officer yawned.It is really tiring to work continuously for more than seven hours, and it is repeated, repetitive work without the slightest technical content.In fact, this kind of repetitive work is more suitable for women, after all, men's endurance is not very good.

Opening the door, the tall officer froze as soon as he raised his foot.

"Dude, can you just close the door. How many times have I told you, it's always been like this."

The temperature inside the room was around [-] degrees Celsius, while outside it was below freezing.As soon as the door was opened, the cold air from outside poured in.

The chunky officer muttered and stood up, going to close the door.

However, when he turned around, he also froze.

The door of the room was closed, the tall officer retreated, followed by four people, two men and two women, a man grabbed the tall officer by the neck, a man rushed in front of the short and fat officer, while the two The women each have an activated electromagnetic gun in their hands.

It was none other than Yang Yi, Lin Feng, Jackson and Justin.

No. 11 and No. [-] stayed outside on alert and did not follow up.

After a short shock, the chunky officer put his left hand behind his back.

There is an alarm button under the console, which can sound an alarm after pressing it, and the guards will rush over immediately.If the chunky officer is sitting at this moment, he can press the button immediately.It's just that he has stood up, and he has to sit down or lean on the console to press the button.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do such stupid things."

Before the chunky officer could react, Yang Yi grabbed his arm and pulled his left hand out.

"You... who are you?" As soon as he asked, the short and fat officer fainted.

At this time, Jackson also stunned the tall officer.

Justin stepped forward, operated on the console, and started to look up the cargo entry and exit information.Not being lazy, Jackson extracted the fingerprints and genetic samples of the two dispatchers, analyzed them with an optical brain, and began to inquire about the basic information of the two.On the contrary, Yang Yi and Lin Feng had nothing to do and watched the fun from the sidelines.

"I haven't found their identity information, and they are all three-no persons." Jackson sighed, and said, "Maybe, everyone here has not been registered with the federal authorities."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, although he was a little disappointed, but it was expected.

It is not the mercenary army that occupies the southern continent, but the private armed forces of the Luo family.Luo Zhenyu is shrewd and cunning, obviously he will not arrange legal identities for these cannon fodders.

"found it."

After Justin said something, Yang Yi and the other three immediately surrounded him.

"The port has been in operation for 22 days, which coincides with the arrival of the occupying forces. During this period, a total of 380 million containers have been received, an average of nearly 30 per day, while the warehouse's design inventory is 60, which is almost two unloading volume per day."

"Only two days?"

Justin nodded and pointed at the screen again. "It was written clearly that all containers were sent to the warehouse, but there was no mention of where these containers were going."

"The warehouse is just a transit point, and the containers must have been shipped elsewhere."

Yang Yi glanced at Jackson, and he didn't say what he said.

"If all the food is loaded with staple food, one container can hold about 380 tons, 9000 million containers, or 1 million tons. Even after deducting losses, more than [-] million tons of food will be sent here during this period. Even if There is only this port in the entire southern continent, and there is an astonishing amount of food." Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief and said, "If it is to support the army, it is equivalent to the normal consumption of [-] legions for a year."

"5000?"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "In peacetime, including the Third Fleet, the total strength of the Third War Zone is not so large."

"Also, where did the Luo family recruit so many soldiers?" Jackson was also extremely shocked. "Even if you don't consider whether the Luo family has enough financial resources, it is impossible to recruit so many soldiers in a short period of time. Besides, if the Luo family wanted to recruit soldiers, they would have been discovered long ago."

Yang Yi frowned, he couldn't figure it out either.

At this time, the door was knocked, and No. [-] slipped in sideways.

"Someone is coming, it should be the dispatcher who changed the shift."

Yang Yi looked at No. [-], and suddenly thought of something.

"Let's go, it's useless to stay here, let's go to the warehouse to have a look, maybe we'll find something else." Jackson gave Justin a look and asked her to bring the chunky officer with him.

"Have you thought about it?"

When Lin Feng, Jackson and Justin looked over, Yang Yi said, "Luo Zhenyu doesn't need to recruit troops to expand his private armed forces."

"Then what method?"

Yang Yi didn't answer Jackson's question, but looked towards Number One.

Jackson froze for a moment, and suddenly understood.

Lin Feng and Justin were not stupid either. Seeing No. [-] standing at the door, they also understood what Yang Yi meant.

"Let's go, let's go to the warehouse to have a look."

Everyone left the dispatch center without delay.
