Fang Linyan stood up and said,
"It's like this, sir, the 3 of us are not airsick, nor do we vomit violently."
Jason stared at Fang Linyan for a few seconds and said,
"I seem to have seen your information somewhere. You have served in the friendly army and held the rank of second lieutenant, right?"
Fang Linyan certainly had the rank of second lieutenant, but it was certified in the space. He didn't expect that it could be used here, so he said,
"Yes, sir, these 2 are the guys I brought."
Jason nodded and said, "Oh, that's right.
"No wonder you are different from these sissies."
After hearing Jason's words, Goat and Vulture immediately said enviously in the team channel,
"Damn, does a regular military rank have such an advantage? It can be directly recognized by the aborigines? "
Fang Linyan didn't expect there to be such a benefit, and he was also a little surprised.
Vulture added,
"If we don't take this medicine, we can put it away. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a long-acting stimulant. In short, it is a new kind of drug."
"The short-term effect is very obvious, but if it is taken for a long time, it will be very harmful to the body. It's just that the army values immediate combat power, so they don't pay attention to this."
Jason waited until everyone finished taking the medicine, then he nodded and said solemnly to the person next to him,
"Let's start."
So the person next to him began to distribute the information, and everyone at the meeting had a copy.
Fang Linyan looked at it carefully and found that the content of this information was very detailed. It was related to a certain area called No. 323.
The information was clearly marked as level 2 confidential. Once it was leaked, it would be submitted to the military court for a special trial! That was not a joke!
This information listed the requirements of the Starry Sky Consortium very clearly, that was, a group of people would land first and clear a safe area.
Then a sentry camp named No. 323 was built on a high ground as a bridgehead and temporary base for subsequent development. In the future, this place might be expanded into a military base.
Jason clicked, and a three-dimensional topographic map formed by the optical computer popped up next to him.
It could be clearly seen that the landing site was a hill made of red sand and stone. The terrain here was relatively high, about only 2 or 3 square kilometers, and the surrounding terrain was the most common terrain on Planet Moston — the endless swamp.
Intuitively speaking, this place was like a small island in the middle of a swamp.
The reason why the military chose to set up camp here was to occupy a strategic location and obtain a tactical fulcrum.
The swamps on Moston were terrifying. The swamps could be entered on foot, but they were dotted with quagmires of varying sizes, ranging from half a meter to a few hundred meters in diameter.
From the outside, there was no obvious difference, but once one fell into a quagmire, it would be very troublesome. Therefore, the exploration of the swamp could only be done on foot. Only when the quagmire areas were marked could they allow mechanical vehicles to pass through.
According to statistics, more than a third of the non-combat casualties were unfortunately killed while exploring the swamp.
In fact, the terrifying creatures in the swamp weren't the most troublesome problem. The most troublesome thing was a giant purple mushroom tree nicknamed "Dalieba" growing in the swamp.
The scientific name of this fungus plant was Austenia mycelium. It was tens of meters tall, and its rhizome was as thick as a giant bucket. It was three to four meters wide.
Every night, the mushroom head at the top of the Austenia mycelium would split into many spores. After the spores left the body, they would rupture and release a hazy mist.
Currently, the specific composition of the mist was still in the process of being analyzed. The only thing they knew was that it contained at least "methamphetamine", "methylfluorophosphate isopropyl" and other terrifying ingredients. Its density was comparable to the morning mist in winter.
However, in the visual effect, there was a beautiful purple light, which would soon cover a large area.
These poisonous spores with strong "hypnotic and hallucinogenic effects" caused a large number of non-combat casualties.
Especially during the first few days of landing on Planet Moston, many mercenaries who attempted to enter the hills at night to search were caught in the mist. They were muddle-headed and fell into the swamp. Without any consciousness to resist, they lost their lives.
They fell into the mist because they trusted the filter masks too much.
However, the poisonous mist was not the most dangerous. The spores of the Austenia mycelium were the best killers. They did not need to be inhaled. As long as the skin touched it, it would be absorbed.
The unlucky people who were caught in the mist would unknowingly fall into a deadly quagmire, then they would be swallowed by some hunters lurking in the quagmire. Their stomach juice would corrode, decompose, and turn into their nutrients.
These hunters would go to the roots of the Austenia mycelium to excrete and fertilize. This strange ecological cycle was also jaw-dropping.
After learning this information, the purpose of the Starry Sky Consortium to build the No. 323 Armed Outpost here was very obvious. That was, with this point as the center, it would provide a stable rest and supply area for the exploration troops.
In this way, with the No. 323 Armed Outpost as the center, at least a few hundred square kilometers could be included in a stable exploration area.
Fang Linyan noticed that the tasks received by this group of logistics personnel at this time included but were not limited to:
To build four armored bunkers and three air defense missile towers in the camp. The materials and equipment were of course provided by the Starry Sky Consortium.
As for the other facilities in the camp, such as the water tower, supply station, medical room, etc., these facilities did not have much requirement for defensive strength. After the defensive facilities were built, they would be directly airdropped by the transport aircraft.
These conventional buildings had long been modularized. They could be built like building blocks in just an hour or two.
Almost an hour had passed by the time Jason was done talking about these things. Jason said straightforwardly, "That's right.
"Now, everyone stand up, take your backpacks and follow me!"
"Boys, I'm very sorry. You don't have time to sightsee here in the new Overwatch Fort. We have to go to Highland 323 immediately to start work. Otherwise, the bastard above me will kick my ass fiercely."
"And I'm in a bad mood, so I'll definitely make you recall this unforgettable time! GOGOGO！”
***
As a result, less than 2 hours after leaving the shuttle, Fang Linyan's group was forced to board another Uangs Beetle Type II.
Then, they formed a formation with the other four and took off together.
No one complained. After all, those fellas who had suffered from airsickness and vomiting seemed to have regained their vigor after taking the medicine.
The flight process this time was a bit boring. The only bright spot was that about 15 minutes after takeoff, they encountered a modified Sidewinder missile attack from below.
It was just that the pilot who was fully focused noticed the warning on the radar at the first time. He directly released an interference bomb and successfully detonated the missile.
Then the pilot controlled the fire control computer on the modified Uangs II to fire fiercely, turning the place where the attacker stayed into a sea of fire.
After an hour of flight, they finally arrived at the target area.
As the shuttle began to slow down and then hover, everyone began to look at the environment below.
From the porthole of the shuttle, it could be seen that this place was different from the display on the 3D model. It was completely covered with shrubs and thorns everywhere. After people landed, the shrubs would even reach the chest and neck.
This was the most troublesome problem.
Because of this terrain, it meant that people's vision would be greatly obstructed, and predators could easily shuttle through the gaps between the shrubs below and launch attacks.
The firepower and range advantage possessed by humans would be suppressed to the limit.
At the same time, such shrubs would cause the ground to be incomparably damp, and a large number of alien poisonous insects and the like would breed here. Perhaps they wouldn't be fatal in a short period of time, but they would torture people who stayed here for a long time until they were exhausted and in so much pain that they wished they were dead.
After witnessing the current situation of Highland 323, the group of people became noisy because the situation in front of them was completely different from what was shown on the 3D model.
There was even a burly man with a crew cut who seemed to be a hot-tempered person. He directly cursed and said angrily:
"Damn it, I must stuff the head of the idiot who drew the topographic map into the toilet! This is the so-called bare red wasteland!!? "
His sentence undoubtedly resonated with the rest of the people. Fortunately, at this time, the leading officer in front, Jason, stood up and looked around.
He was burly, and his hand was pressed on the gun at his waist. Coupled with his gloomy face, it was very oppressive. As far as his eyes could see, the noise suddenly subsided.
