How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 556: Digging Deep Holes, Hoarding Food, and Storing More Water

After the appointment of the three commander-in-chiefs, the construction plan of the Alien Defense Corps was quickly implemented.

It is mainly divided into two parts, one is to build the space fleet belonging to the Carter civilization, and the other is the ground defense force on Soli.

The task of constructing the space fleet is under the responsibility of Myron of the Odo Empire, and the construction of the ground defense force is handed over to the second commander-in-chief, Stephen. The two most outstanding military experts of the Carter civilization will fight against the incoming amoeba civilization. Do your best.

The plan of the Alien Defense Corps was made public, and the news of the invasion of the amoeba civilization was also made public. All the Carters at the bottom of the civilization panicked, the stock market plummeted, the currency depreciated, prices rose, crime rates, suicide rates soared, etc., Fortunately, the countries that learned of the invasion of the amoeba civilization had already prepared for it, and the chaos subsided in just one year.

If possible, countries do not want to announce the amoeba crisis. This will cause social panic. If it is serious, the Carter civilization may be over before the amoeba comes over.

But there is no way. Only civilization can fight against civilization. The Carter civilization must unite all forces, so that it can fight against the incoming amoeba civilization. Only by letting all the Carter know this crisis can they fully unite their forces.

The power of the Carter civilization as a whole was mobilized as expected. Rockets were launched into the sky one after another. Each rocket was equipped with an industrial machine tool, ranging from rough machining to finishing machining. There were more than 3,000 such rockets in total. The rockets arrived at the Soli orbit and were assembled and connected to each other.

The first real spaceship in the history of the Carters was thus born—it is a spaceship, but it is not wrong to call it a space station. It is a large connecting space station equipped with multiple chemical thrusters. Gas resistance, no need to consider aerodynamics.

In terms of structure, it looks like many sticks tied together, giving people a feeling of 'I don't know when it will fall apart', like a raft tied up with several planks, a small one in the ocean. The wave can smash it to pieces, destroying the ship and killing people.

Obviously, this structure is not suitable for combat, and it is very reluctant to use it for space navigation, and the purpose of the Carters to build this spaceship is not a combat ship on the space battlefield, so there is no need to have a strong enough structure to resist characteristics, and there is no need for a special design for the space battlefield environment.

After launching the rocket at any cost and delivering enough solid hydrogen-oxygen fuel, the spacecraft named Hope, fully loaded with fifty Carters, headed for the asteroid belt near Soli's orbit.

The construction of the ground defense force was not small, and under Stephen's command and planning, it was even bigger than the assembly of the first spaceship.

In the construction of ground defense forces, 'force' is not the whole, its main core lies in the front 'ground defense', considering the orbital bombing that is very likely to occur in future space wars, the construction of dungeons is necessary, thick strata It will be a natural defense barrier, and the Carters on the planet can hide in these underground bunkers when the amoeba strikes.

Then, based on this direction of war construction, Stephen clearly gave two instructions 'dig deep holes', 'stock up food', and 'store more water'. Digging holes is a prerequisite for building an underground city. Dig the hole as deep as possible. big enough.

Deep enough means that the ground protection is thicker, and large enough means that more Carters can hide in the dungeon.

In order to speed up the construction, Stephen obtained a large amount of high-intensity explosives from other big countries for ground blasting. This is a huge global project. With the sound of explosions, hundreds of millions of workers participated.

Stephen hired these workers without giving money. In today's Carter society, even the most credible banknotes have gradually declined in purchasing power, so Stephen used the residence quota in the underground city as compensation. construction, there must be a place in the dungeon that belongs to the workers themselves and their families.

This also allowed all the workers to put all their energy into the construction project, and no one tried to be lazy, because they knew very well that the construction of the dungeon was related to the lives of themselves and their families in the future. , which means that the security will drop, and even if you get a place to live in the dungeon at that time, it will not help.

For a while, workers who were once equated with uneducated actually became the hottest occupation in the Carter civilization. A large number of Carters switched from other industries to become workers and devoted themselves to construction projects.

The construction of the underground city is going on day and night, and the plan to stockpile food has not been implemented. People have to eat, and if they don’t eat, they will die. When all the Carters hide underground, the huge population needs a lot of food reserves to survive .

A large area of ​​land has been restored to arable land. In the face of the imminent amoeba crisis, the Carters are completely crazy. What kind of nature reserves, forestry planting bases, national first-level protected forests, etc., are all places that can be cultivated. Changed into arable land, ravaged like locusts.

No one mentions protecting the natural environment. It is true that there are members of environmental protection organizations among the Carters, but the premise of caring for the environment is that their lives are not in danger. People are always selfish. This is an instinct engraved in their genes. To survive, people can do anything.

The suburbs of many cities have been transformed into farmland, many houses have been demolished, and the concrete floor has been demolished and damaged, revealing that the land below has been converted into cultivated land. It can be seen from space that a large area of ​​Soli's surface has been stained with crops. color.

On the coastline, there are a lot of tall buildings erected there. At the top of these tall buildings, there is a huge concentrating mirror illuminating the water tank at the bottom of the building.

This is to use solar energy to convert sea water into fresh water. In order to solve the domestic water needs of the Carters hiding underground in the future, decades of time are enough for these high-rise buildings to produce a huge amount of fresh water.

Of course, the ground defense is not limited to these, there are also some projects to attack enemies in outer space. Deep pits have been dug out, but the pits are not deep enough to build dungeons. These deep pits are evenly distributed in every corner of the planet. , they are the 'barrels' that throw large quantities of live ammunition out of Sori by using the nuclear weapon as a charge.

In addition to this, is the military training of a large number of mechanized troops for ground combat against the amoeba invaders in the near future.
