Chapter 333 The basis of war "VGU Multifunctional Infrastructure Unit"

From the big to the bottom, the first antique restored by Movi and the others is a land-based base called "VGU Multifunctional Infrastructure Unit". In the era of planetary warfare, this type of military camp that can deploy quickly is generally Called "VGU".

VGU is an abbreviation of English compound words, followed by Chinese is explanatory, it is used to annotate this ancient equipment to modern people, after all, the history is a bit too long.Because in addition to VGU, there are a bunch of other English abbreviations "infrastructure unit", still just calling VGU will make modern people confused.

Just like rat whiskers and wolf hairs, people who only say wolf hairs should still know that it is a writing brush, but if rat whiskers are not explained by a writing brush, it is hard to think of ordinary people who have not been in contact with them. I have to talk about a kind of brush, but in ancient times, there is no problem at all when talking about rat whiskers.

This is a kind of evolution of writing and language. Qiu Fenglie encountered this serious problem when he first crossed. Fortunately, Chinese is the lingua franca of the Galaxy Empire. Although the spoken pronunciation becomes a bit strange and unintelligible I got it, but I still knew the words I saw, which made him master the pronunciation of "Modern Interstellar Common Language" with ease.

Later, I complained about the time travel films that Moviy watched. They were all fake. The Galactic Empire traveled back to the Three Kingdoms Era, and unified the world led the earth people into the solar system five thousand years earlier. They actually spoke with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun in a modern interstellar language. Being able to communicate naturally without hindrance, using advanced sociological theories to convince the two of them to sit on the right arm...

At that time there were basically two languages, OK, don’t look at the ideograms and think that the upper and lower lines are in the same line. Many ancient pronunciations are not available in modern times, such as tremolo, tongue, and similar pronunciations in Russian. It is inevitable that rhyming is not very fluent. This involves phonology.

In the era of war for hegemony, Chinese is not the overwhelming master. Many things are more popular with English abbreviations. In VGU, V means vanguard, which means pioneer and avant-garde, and G means galleon, but in the 15th century it refers to Spanish galleons. U is the unit unit, which means it is an independent component of its own system in the entire military system.

Back then, this kind of mobile base was all the rage on the battlefield, and it effectively compensated for the problem that after the war distance was expanded to the solar system, but the speed still remained at a relatively primitive level, the logistics supply capacity could not keep up, and it was widely used by all sides. Used on the battlefield of the moon, Mars, and Titan.

The original intention of its design is to be an outpost that can operate independently and fully satisfy the military operations of a small-scale advance force.

Powerful non-boiler turbine-type nuclear power provides sufficient energy. The atmospheric differences of different planets and even the vacuum environment of space make steam thermal energy work extremely complicated, so new energy generators have become a prerequisite.Then came weapons and equipment. Although there were no environmental protection requirements at that time, as Moweii showed now, even light weapons would not explode bullets with gunpowder.

However, the bullet charge must have its own oxidizer, so that it is under great pressure to replenish it and increase the burden.So at that time I started to use electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons. I don’t want to be like this. The Golden Knights are restricted by legal provisions and forced to use electromagnetic weapons... So it’s not that Moweiyi deliberately wanted to engage in these. It is a very science fiction energy weapon.

Mowei, who knows and is convinced of Qiu Fenglie’s identity as an ancient traverser, actually seriously considered using gunpowder weapons to please his sweetheart. Thinking that Qiu Fenglie, who was born as a soldier, would be happy to see familiar weapons... So when she first demonstrated the electromagnetic weapon, she had been very careful about Qiu Fenglie's reaction.

The use of gunpowder does not mean that weapons are powerful. The main reason is that the battlefield environment has changed. Gravity and air resistance have been weakened, which has increased the power of weapons. After VGU has energy as its foundation, it can easily develop artificial soil and sunlight. Cultivate crops, followed by weapons supplies.

The self-contained excavation equipment can draw materials on the spot, and there is no need to find metal-rich mines. There is sand to produce silicon alloy electromagnetic weapon projectiles, which is equivalent to unlimited materials-unlimited follow-up supplies are the most important thing in the war. , From a pistol to the entire base is a self-sufficient system, this is its strength.

Thousands of VGUs form a big whole. A whole is an army. On average, a VGU has a total of 100 pure military personnel. One side of the battlefield basically invests a million troops.By the end of the war, the entire alien battlefield was full of VGU... Some people say that this is the unique romance of the battle for the border of the surface land.

Both V and U are well understood. So why is there a G in the middle? First of all, it has the symbolic meaning of being attached by people. The crew of a large sailing ship is usually about 100 people. The manufacturer finally named this name because of its appearance in the mobile mode. It looks like a Spanish galleon—all kinds of tall antennas are plugged everywhere, like a mast.

In those days, communications still needed these antennas for signal enhancement reception...

Now Qiu Fenglie is visiting the VGU in mobile mode. The appearance is huge, and the space for internal personnel activities is very narrow. It feels like a space project in the past. When moving inside, you have to shrink your body and go sideways when doing anything...but This kind of environment is inexplicably like a children's playground, the kind of children's climbing frame playground that can drill everywhere, and Qiu Fenglie, who has become a little man, is naturally happy when he looks at this environment... …She only went to play in places like her childhood.

Although it is a virtual holographic visit, you can't actually climb and walk with your feet, but you can go anywhere more flexibly and quickly by adjusting the stretched perspective.

Seeing that Qiu Fenglie was happy, Moweiyi became happy, and then he became a travel guide next to him, and began to introduce the whole life process of a VGU to his sweetheart——

The construction is completed in the space station and the space dock, and then several groups, usually sixteen front and back rings are stringed on a large specialized carrier rocket, and then the space fleet is escorted to the battle planet.

When it reaches the planetary orbit, the launch vehicle becomes a space station weapon. The process of dropping a VGU on the ground itself is equivalent to launching a kinetic energy weapon. The lunar battlefield is not obvious. On the Mars battlefield, each VGU is equivalent to at least one. A nuclear bomb of ten million equivalents.

This brings us to the problem of soldiers in the VGU. Soldiers generally live in the VGU to which they are attached. When it is necessary to throw the VGU directly on the enemy's head, the soldiers must take the "nuclear bomb." The inside came out, there was no power suit to provide protection from naked atmospheric penetration at that time. The soldiers needed to enter the rescue capsule prepared by the launch vehicle for all personnel, and then land through the rescue capsule to the ground that had been cleaned by VGU.

The so-called rescue capsule is actually the technology of the space shuttle, but it has been made bigger and can take off and land in the atmosphere.

Therefore, VGU is a strategic weapon in various senses, and the orbital competition is very fierce. Therefore, in general, it is difficult for VGU to be directly thrown on the enemy. Moreover, no matter how tightly VGU is made, its interior cannot be like modern It becomes solid, too large, and easily intercepted by the ballistic defense system, which is too expensive compared to a simple tungsten rod of the same tonnage.

Therefore, unless the circumstances are exceptional and the conditions are excellent, VGU has no chance of being dropped as a nuclear bomb. Generally, when the carrier rocket reaches its goal, it picks up a piece of space rock on the road, drags it to the orbit and then throws it on the enemy as a meteorite. , Open the circuit for VGU.

Then the VGU reaches the ground. When it is not used as a nuclear bomb, it has a series of deceleration devices that allow the crew and soldiers to stay in the VGU and reach the ground theater together.Landing is not a simple task. For the next combat needs, the commander on the VGU needs to control the landing posture of the VGU in seconds to prepare for the subsequent deformation, and also use a limited vector to decelerate. The device adjusts the corner coordinates and moves to the most resource-rich and strategic location.

After landing, the first thing is to deploy the antenna to report the situation and accept the order. The second step is to start the transformation into a land-based base, a fortress, a military fortress...

After asking Qiu Fenglie if he had played enough inside, Moweiyi began to let the VGU of the holographic projection perform the unfolding action-this kind of unfolding Qiu Fenglie has seen a real object once, but it is completely incomparable in terms of size. It is the military school canyon paraglider. Brigade, the camping carriage bought by the same-born friends of Shekran, some people just sat in it when they came, and when they got to the ground, they opened a three-dimensional box on each side, turning it into a flat surface. The mutually staggered supporting structure becomes the cabinets on the foundation, fixed tables and chairs, etc. Everyone’s salutes and flight equipment are in these cabinets.

The deformation of the VGU is much more complicated, and it also has a track extension. After fully unfolding, it occupies an area of ​​four football fields. It is completely impossible to believe that it was originally only the size of a "big" sailing ship.

Important facilities are built on their own metal foundations. On the original sailing walls, such as nuclear power plants, botanical gardens, and dormitories, other facilities will be placed on the ground nearby... These construction projects have to be completed by humans, although they are powered Exoskeleton assistance, and engineering vehicles, but it must not be as efficient as modern full self-discipline.The word "infrastructure" in the Chinese "comment" is for this reason.

If you want to live a good life, you have to lay the foundation and everything yourself. The various areas are connected by rails, and the logistics are very convenient.As for the division of regions, it is also for the purpose of war. It is naturally better to diversify investment than to catch it all at once.

Finally, VGU has three endings. One is naturally destroyed by the enemy. If it wins, the parts that VGU can recover, such as the most expensive nuclear power plants, communication stations, etc., will be packed up and taken away for reuse. The last one ends without being Either the enemy or the enemy is torn down and kept as a permanent fortification, but when peace comes, such a VGU will often eventually develop into a city. Many colonial capitals are predecessor to VGU-there are food and energy, the terrain is good, the war is over Base resources for civilian use are naturally the first choice for immigrants to live in.

And the "multi-function" in the commentary, a base that can farm, mine, or even produce some weapons and equipment by itself is naturally multi-functional.At the end of the war, VGU had a dedicated single function, and it didn’t need to be so comprehensive. Various independent function infrastructure units were developed, and they formed a coordinated system when they arrived on the battlefield.

The main reason is that carrying 16 VGUs at a time expands the imagination of commanders. Of course, those with independent functions can no longer be regarded as independent outposts, so they can no longer be called "VGU"...

"Wow, this base is really beautiful, really interesting, I also want to see it myself." Qiu Fenglie moved into the fixed heavy artillery turret of the base, exclaimed, "Why choose VGU miles? The government provides a stationing location, right? Back then, their own legions were all living in cities. If they were going to fight positional warfare with the flute, wouldn't a base with fortress functions be more suitable?"

Movey: "It was Mug Lihua’s idea. I suggest you take this opportunity to improve your feeling on the battlefield. We think it makes sense, so we decided not to live in the city, but set up camp in the wild to let us come in a peaceful environment. The members of the regiment experienced the hardships of the battlefield firsthand."

The corner of Qiu Fenglie’s mouth twitched twice, and the turret could clearly see the situation inside the base—there was a huge open-air swimming pool under the eyelids—Movie was showing the real thing they were producing. A swimming pool was set up brightly, and there are healing hot springs indoors, and a holographic starry sky ball sports room that simulates a gravity-free environment...

Not to mention the botanical gardens. In the war years, not only did they occupy a small area, but they could only grow a single high-yield genetically modified oatmeal. This is better, everyone prepared a separate farm for the food they like. The fruit trees that can only harvest one are arranged.

This is the "hard" battlefield environment of modern people... Qiu Fenglie felt crazy in his heart... It's just that this is also the inevitable technological advancement-nuclear power generators in space don't need such a huge volume. The location magnifies the favorite facilities of home is a matter of course.

"Actually, I can think that preparing an infrastructure unit is due to the four of Xi Tanle and the others."

Moweiyi’s supplementary explanation aroused the interest of Qiu Fenglie, who was convulsed at the corner of his mouth: "Miles?"

"You should know before you leave. They are doing various kinds of'independence'. After arriving on the Lula Icon, the site is bigger. It is no longer the kind of living area that can be seen at a glance. They are in The Lula Icon is everywhere'building bases'..."

"What will it not affect?"

"The feeling of ants building nests in Xinhanjing... At that time, I felt that they were not efficient with bobo balls, but they enjoyed it, so they let them go... This time Yin Alai The planetary government sent me the site selection for the base to discuss and discuss. Miao Ge Lihua said that we need to train everyone's mentality, and then I think of Xi Tanle and their base..."

It's really a complicated association process, so many things Super Brain did not happen overnight: "Speaking of which, what are Xi Tanle doing now?"

"Why, do you miss everyone? Alyssa's mission briefing has just ended, and she is taking everyone to get familiar with the light equipment... I will show you the heavy equipment and live broadcast what they are doing."
