Homo sapiens.

Following the signing of the agreement, both parties announced the matter on television.

The whole world is surprised by this.

Although Bor explained the reason on TV, saying that Boni's oil and gas resources have been exhausted and it is no longer possible to maintain the high welfare life of the people. For the sake of the public, he can only "reluctantly" sell Boni to Homo sapiens.

But America doesn't care. The New York Times immediately published an article with the title: [Evil Giants Swallow Boni, Who Will Be Next? ]

Then the major media and Internet giants in Europe and the United States stepped down one after another, hyping up the ambitions and evils of Homo sapiens.

Not to be outdone, the Homo sapiens Entertainment Department led a large number of Internet trolls to fight with European and American media on the Internet.

The Boer family who left the scene quietly arranged for some members to go to Xiangjiang to buy real estate, preparing to form the Boer Group and the Boer Foundation, completely ignoring the confrontation between Sapiens and America.

Chapter 411 Feathered Snake

9 month 11 day.

The turmoil from the outside world did not affect Li Qingye's daily work.

He is currently in the Hugang Basin of the Hongshawadi Branch.

It is one of the five space cities invested by Homo Sapien.

Compared with the other four aerospace cities, the military style here is stronger.

Wu Feng, who was in charge of the Longerang Mountain Base before, has recently been transferred here to be responsible for the management of this space city.

In addition, people from the space business department and the external security business department also appeared here.

Mang Qingshan, dispatched by the External Security Division, explained to him: "Chairman, this is the Feathered Snake Corps we recently formed."

"How do you train?" Li Qingye was a little curious. He knew about the formation of the Feathered Serpent Corps by the External Security Department. After all, such a major event must have his approval.

Mang Qingshan is the person in charge of the corps. When he heard the question, he quickly replied: "We have cooperated with the space business department and borrowed part of the astronaut training facilities. As for the actual combat training, there is no way yet."

"I heard that the External Security Department is revising the previous plan recently?"

Mang Qingshan nodded: "Yes, it is due to the emergence of new technologies and technical adjustments."

"Which part was adjusted?"

"Before we planned to use the space shuttle to take off on the ground, but now we have changed it to take off at a position of 3 meters in the stratosphere."

Li Qingye's eyes flashed with clarity: "A vacuum airship platform?"

"Yes, taking off in the middle of the stratosphere, the atmospheric resistance will drop by about 15 times, and the distance from the Karman line is only 7 meters, which can satisfy the space shuttle with a large load to enter and exit the atmosphere."

Li Qingye touched the stubble on his chin, and then ordered: "Take a look at the plan of the External Security Division."

"Please wait a moment, I will arrange it right away."

After a while, Mang Qingshan pulled out an internal planning document of the External Security Division and projected it on the holographic device.

There are not only various planning schemes on it, but also many conceptual models and scenarios.

Specifically, it is to build an airship platform that is about the size of a dandelion airship, but with double the vacuum volume. The platform will have a vacuum volume of 40 billion cubic meters.

At an altitude of 3 meters, the airship will have 4 tons of buoyancy, minus the weight of 1 tons of supporting facilities, and the remaining 3 tons of buoyancy will be used to carry the space shuttle.

To be precise, it is not a space shuttle, but an aerospace fighter and an aerospace transport aircraft.

The Feathered Serpent Legion is the department responsible for managing the space carrier, and it is also a special security force, because the Feathered Serpent Legion has three orbital airborne regiments, which can drop into any area of ​​the earth from suborbital.

As for why it is unnecessary.

The reason for the External Security Division is to avoid the airspace of other regions.

Airspace in the usual sense refers to the airspace below the Karman Line, and the suborbital and low-Earth orbits above the Karman Line are all international public areas, which can pass freely without the permission of other forces.

In other words, those inland areas actually have a "coastline", and that coastline is the Karman Line at a height of 100 kilometers.

If the Homo sapiens company wants to enter the Mobei region for "investment", if it follows the traditional mode of transportation, it must pass through the territory of Lucia or the Far East.

But if the suborbital route is adopted, Homo sapiens does not need to pass through the territory of Lucia and the Far East, and naturally does not need the permission of the other party.

In this case, Homo sapiens can use the concept of "cosmic sea" to radiate its influence to a number of inland areas and carry out various "investments".

Li Qingye looked at the cost again.

Among them, the total cost of the Aircraft Carrier 2 is estimated to be 5.2 million gold dollars a piece.

750 million gold dollars for an aerospace fighter.

An aerospace transport aircraft costs 3860 million gold dollars.

A set of orbital airborne armor is 8 gold.

In terms of operating costs, the space carrier uses nuclear reactors, and the energy consumption cost is 50 million gold dollars for 600 years.

Aerospace fighters and aerospace transport aircraft use methane liquid oxygen engines, and the fuel cost of a single flight is only about one-thirtieth of that of a ground launch.

Li Qingye saw five aerospace planes jointly designed by the External Security Department and the Space Department.

One of the aerospace transport aircraft with a payload of 2000 tons has a dead weight of 1200 tons, but only 3000 tons of methane and liquid oxygen.

If it is launched on the ground, at least 6 tons of methane and liquid oxygen are needed to send a load of 3200 tons to suborbital orbit.

Launching at high altitude can indeed save a lot of fuel and effectively reduce operating costs.

As long as it enters the suborbital area, it can easily fly over the target and then drop 2000 tons of payload.

This 2000-ton payload will land using a method similar to launch vehicle recovery technology. It can be a special empty container, or it can carry a special airborne force, or it can be a lot of bombs.

In fact, solid-fuel rockets launched in suborbital orbits can easily reach more than ten times the speed of sound under the blessing of gravitational acceleration.

Even the electromagnetic gun can be used directly to launch tungsten steel rods to the target ground.

In the condescending situation, there are too many methods that can be used. Even throwing a steel ball down is as powerful as a bullet.

The purpose of the establishment of the Feathered Serpent Corps is to enhance the mobile security force of Sapiens Corporation in suborbital orbits, and at the same time, it is also taking advantage of the existing rules to exploit loopholes.

The cost of launching a 2000-ton load to suborbit is actually 3000 tons of methane and liquid oxygen. The cost is about 4 gold dollars, and the average transportation cost is 50 gold dollars per ton of load.

The cost is not too high, but it is not cheap either.

But for some closed inland areas, the transportation cost of 50 gold yuan per ton is also acceptable.

For example, transporting some emergency supplies, special equipment, important items, etc., can be quickly put in place in this way.

Li Qingye understood the thinking of the External Security Department.

They should have considered that Homo sapiens will go to "open branches" in other regions in the future, and they don't want to waste their words with other forces along the way, so they promoted suborbital transportation and suborbital airborne.

After all, the relationship between Homo sapiens and many regions is not very good now.

Even parties in Africa, South America, and West Asia that cooperate with Homo sapiens on the surface are secretly very vigilant about the various investments made by Homo sapiens companies in their territories.

This is mainly because Homo sapiens has a criminal record and forcibly established full-authority branches in some areas. This behavior is obviously unacceptable to most forces.

If Homo sapiens were not strong enough, the great powers would have formed a coalition to clean up Homo sapiens company.

Therefore, it will definitely not be so easy to pass through the airspace of other regions in the future, and the forces along the way will definitely be very vigilant about the air force of Homo sapiens entering its territory.

You can't fight all the way, can you?If you really do this, you will make a special meal of dumplings for a plate of vinegar, which is not worth the candle.

Li Qingye didn't say anything about it. It's a good thing that the External Security Division has this kind of strategic thinking.

The development and progress of technology will inevitably lead to the innovation of tactics and strategy.

There is no need for the External Security Department to follow the rules too much, just like when America developed information warfare, it was because of the military changes brought about by the development of information technology.

Now Homo sapiens is also exploring new tactical strategies to take full advantage of the advantages brought by new technologies.

Suborbital, a special interstellar public area, was previously unreachable by technology, and many forces had no way to use it, so they could only do some theoretical research.

Homo sapiens is now leading the times and developing a new model.

He finished reading the internal documents of the External Security Division: "Wu Feng, put it away! Let's go to the training base to have a look."

Wu Feng quickly turned off the projector, and ordered his assistant to clean up the traces of that document.

He took Li Qingye to the training base of the suborbital paratroopers.

Chapter 412 Test

Come to the training base.

Thousands of new human security guards are undergoing scientific and rigorous training here, and they carry out various projects in batches.

"This is a quasi-weightless pool... Over there is a centrifugal force anti-load machine..." Mang Qingshan introduced them to him one by one.

Li Qingye didn't go directly into the training ground, but in the hanging corridor on the edge, he looked at nearly a quarter of the female security guards, turned his head and asked, "Why is the proportion of female security guards so high?"

"The female security guards are mainly responsible for medical treatment, communication, kitchen, and sundries. Most of them are auxiliary. This is also to reduce some psychological problems." In the end, Mang Qingshan was somewhat embarrassed.

Of course Li Qingye knew what the so-called "psychological problems" were.

For young and strong youths, the physiological needs must be very strong, and it is not an option to keep suppressing, so female security guards are needed.

Of course, Homo Sapiens pays attention to free love within the company, and only opposes special behaviors before marriage. There is no difference in status between male and female employees. They usually have contact with each other for a period of time. If they are suitable, they will get married, and if they are not suitable, they will break up peacefully.

Moreover, female security guards have a relatively high degree of freedom, and can apply to transfer to other departments, or to other branches or subsidiaries at any time.

For many married security guards, the husband and wife usually work in the same large department or in supporting agencies.

In this way, the psychological problems of security personnel are greatly reduced.

Li Qingye reminded: "The principle should be voluntary, and more consideration should be given to other needs of security guards."

"Subordinates must follow the chairman's instruction." Mang Qingshan hurriedly replied.

It took more than an hour to walk around the training base, but Li Qingye didn't have much opinion on the training content. After all, this is the training plan of the space business department borrowed from the big powers, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

In addition, Homo sapiens has bio-based armor, which can provide security guards with a special liquid environment to resist sudden acceleration.

The load of the aerospace plane is really trivial in the face of the anti-gravity system of the bio-based armor.

Unless it is the load of the Longerang cannon, the bio-based armor will not be able to bear it.

After visiting the training base, Mang Qingshan took him to another base.

After taking the subway for half an hour, they finally came to this base located inside the mountain. The group took the elevator to a secret observation deck on the top of the mountain.

"Chairman, this is the experimental model of the dead light cannon." Mang Qingshan pointed to the halfway up the mountain in the holographic projection map, where there was an inconspicuous bulge, which was a specially camouflaged fort.

Li Qingye waved his hand: "Then let's start the experiment!"

"Yes."

Soon the experiments began.

The cobalt-60 rods at the core of the gamma-ray excitation are quickly combined under the control of the mechanical device, and the gamma-ray density released by it rises linearly.

In a small airport about 57 kilometers away from the base, more than a dozen drones soared into the sky and quickly approached the base.

In Mang Qingshan's holographic projection, there is a picture of the fort control room.

"Magnetic radar detected enemy aircraft, target 15, speed 427 kilometers per hour, locked..."

"emission……"

Under the aid of supercomputer calculations, the dead light cannon quickly adjusted its position.

In an instant, the lead plate barrier opened, and a beam of gamma rays shot straight out at the speed of light.

The fleet of drones was still accelerating, and suddenly the electronic control equipment of one of the drones smoked directly, and then lost control and fell to the jungle below.

The other drones quickly stopped accelerating and began to maneuver and propel in a snaking maneuver.

However, in the eyes of ordinary pilots, these excellent positions and maneuvers did not prevent their demise.

No matter how powerful the maneuver is, there is no way to avoid the gamma ray attack at the speed of light.

As long as the gamma ray cannon is continuously irradiated for 2 to 3 seconds, the drone's flight control system, positioning system, guidance system, communication system, and fuselage sensors will be scrapped.

If the drone loses a system such as flight control, it can basically be sentenced to death.

first round.

15 drones were wiped out within 2.7 minutes by the death beam cannon.

"Chairman, next is a special anti-radiation drone."
