① Mammoth Siege Tank.

(Schematic)

Unit: m.

Length: 68.

Width: 33.

Height: 27.

The Mammoth is a six-wheeled giant siege tank that requires four people to drive and operate, and is equipped with a 220mm Gauss cannon on the top.

The Mammoth can also accommodate 30 to 80 fully armed combat personnel, and can operate a .50 caliber heavy machine gun or an 18mm caliber rotating gun inside the tank.

The built-in garage on the ground floor can store four airtight special off-road vehicles, or hold 50 combat personnel wearing mechanical skeletons.

The Mammoth is a giant siege tank produced specifically to deal with low-pressure, low-oxygen, and low-gravity environments outside the earth.

And the production line is located in the arsenal on the outskirts of Hafa City. The first batch of 4 vehicles were delivered to Mars to enhance the firepower output of the'fortress' base.

.

Note: The cost of the Gauss gun is one-fourth of the ship-borne electromagnetic railgun, and one-fifth of the special sniper gun for the "God Body".

The successful development of the Gauss Cannon also provided valuable experience for the standard weapons dedicated to the "God Body".

It is expected that before January 2010, 14 "divine bodies" will be equipped with 140mm Gauss burst guns to enhance the output firepower of the "divine bodies".

.

②Vulture air support boat.

(Schematic)

Unit: m.

Length: 35.

Width: 12.

High: 7.

The Vulture air support boat is operated by two pilots and four gunners.

The Vulture is also an air support boat developed to deal with the environment outside the earth, and its status is similar to the AC-130 that is still in service.

However, with four hydrogen engines, the flying capability of the Vulture is only slightly lower than that of the Pelican, and it has the function of hovering in the air.

And far beyond the AC-130 in firepower.

The Vulture has an eight-seat vertical missile launch system, carrying at least 48 ground-to-surface missiles.

Four GAU-23 chainless 20mm cannons.

And 8 tactical missiles code-named "Phoenix", used to eliminate "deep-rooted" targets.

The first six were also delivered to Mars to ensure the safety of Umbrella’s largest colony.

"..."

William, who was at the forefront with Victor, looked at the neatly parked Mammoth and Vulture, and his inner satisfaction greatly increased.

That's right.

Have entered the interstellar age, use a fart M1A1'Abrams'.

The Mammoth’s 220mm Gauss cannon can counter spaceships. If it hits M1A1...

Even the dross will not be left.

Big!

It is the last word.

After admiring the dazzling array of weapons in the warehouse, William, led by Victor, entered the passage inside the fortress.

And Sparta and a group of lieutenants followed them to the command center of the fort.

"Eh, that's right." William praised Victor beside him as if thinking of something:

"Your brother Michelle, who performed well in the containment operation in Utah, is a very good paratrooper."

"Hey, that brat is just a novice! Obviously, he was only involved in a containment operation that was not challenging, and he almost made his tail up to the sky."

Despite Victor's tone of disdain and denial, the proud smile on his face betrayed the colonel's thoughts.

"Haha." William also smiled and said:

"Michelle is on the Phantom, serving as the commander of my direct underworld paratroopers. Would you like to let your brothers meet?"

"After you have introduced the situation of Mars to the boss, I will see that stinky boy again." Victor shook his head.

"Alright." William nodded and said, "I haven't seen it since the fortress was built, so Colonel, please continue to show me around."

"No problem, boss."

———————

The interior facilities of the fort are spacious and bright, with red and white umbrella logos printed on the reflective floor, typical Umbrella style.

In the command center in the center of the fort, there are hundreds of technicians working here, responsible for contacting and commanding all the colonies in the asteroid belt.

It shows that Mars is definitely a'heavy town' in the colonization plan.

And Umbrella's first fleet has been formed, and its goal is to defend the home planet of mankind, the earth.

As a result, the Ares and Hades staying on Mars became a bit embarrassing, after all, these two heavy frigates belonged to the First Fleet.

Fortunately, the speed of Delphi Shipyard is not slow.

The second fleet is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2010 and will remain near Mars.

At that time, the earth will have double protection.

The construction of the Third Fleet is also on the agenda. It is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2012 and deployed near Jupiter's satellite constellation as the third line of defense.

However, that will be two years from now.

Under the leadership of Victor and a group of lieutenants, it only took more than half an hour for William to visit the interior of the fortress.

Immediately after.

Victor led the crowd to the'station' located in the southernmost part of the fort.

There are ten tracks and corresponding platforms. The top and walls are made of thickened, reinforced and radiation-proof glass.

Through the glass wall.

In addition to enjoying the dry scenery of Mars, you can also faintly see the Martian city not far to the south and the tunnel connected to the orbit.

As for the personnel on the platform, most of them are soldiers wearing military uniforms and carrying travel bags ready for vacation.

Among the 1.3 million colonial population, many were relatives and friends of Umbrella soldiers who followed the soldiers to emigrate here.

Its function is simple and clear, and that is to alleviate the psychological and physical needs of soldiers.

"Boss." Victor led William to the first platform and said:

"The command center of the fortress still needs me to sit in. As for the relevant information of Mars City, I also let my subordinates upload it to the company network. Serena should be able to act as a Mars guide."

"I believe she can, and thanks to your hard work, Colonel." William said.

"Hi." Victor waved his hand indifferently and said, "What can be the hard work of this, the train to Mars City will arrive soon."

Then we go first, boss."

When the lieutenants and Victor just left the platform, a shuttle-shaped high-speed train also arrived at the platform.

The side door of the carriage opened, and after the technicians and soldiers on vacation got off, William led the three Spartans on the train.

As soon as he sat down, William heard Serena in his ear, saying in the tone of the tour guide:

"Mr. Russell, please sit down and take a seat. The next attraction we will visit is the most modern colonial city. The estimated time of arrival is three minutes."

While Serena was making fun of it, the shuttle train had already left the fortress platform and was moving fast through the tubular transparent tunnel.

Three minutes passed in a flash.

William, John and others finally came to a city with a large population and assembled Umbrella's latest technology.

Mars City.
