Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Not to mention, once the beast swarm broke out, the advanced base on land would be easily overwhelmed by the overwhelming beast swarm. Whether it was desperate resistance or trying to rescue the staff trapped inside, it was very difficult.

Therefore, some people have long thought about the "air forward base" plan.

That is to further upgrade the mature armored airship technology, adopt a modular design, combine dozens or even hundreds of armored airships together to form a large-scale air fortress, and fly directly to the place where humans want to set up an advanced base. Go to the sky above the coordinates.

Compared with ground forward bases, this kind of aerial fortress has incomparable advantages.

First of all, it is extremely passable and almost unaffected by the ground environment.

Whether it is a deep jungle, a rugged mountain, or a fragmented canyon, a wetland with dense water networks, or even a swamp filled with poisonous fog, the depth of which is unknown, all kinds of terrains that require a hundred times the price to pass from the ground, are very important to the sky fortress. In other words, they can easily cross the past.

Secondly, the vast majority of monsters do not have the ability to fly or fight in the air. No matter how amazing the jumping ability of a monster is, it is the limit to be able to threaten the height of 100 meters.

As long as the cruising altitude of the sky fortress is set above 300 meters, almost 90% of monster threats can be avoided.

As for the threat of monsters in the sky, of course it still exists.

However, even an advanced base on the ground would still be threatened by aerial monsters, condescending, and dive-bombing.

To deal with flying monsters in the air, at least they can pull each other to the same height, and then use the fierce human firepower to finish each other.

On the other hand, in the war between human beings against monsters, or earthlings against aliens, the greatest advantage of human beings is not the fierce firepower.

It is a highly informationized battlefield data link system, which brings global perception and control capabilities.

Through the tactical data link, every armored vehicle, every power armor, every soldier, and even every citizen are organically combined.

Then use a supercomputer that can perform billions or even tens of billions of calculations per second to split the strategic goals into tactical goals, and then split the tactical goals into specific instructions, and distribute them to each combat unit and even individual units through the network. on the communicator of the individual soldier.

In this way, the entire human civilization has become an indomitable giant, able to mobilize and use 100% of its own power.

In this process, the importance of information network is self-evident.

If the advance base is set up on the ground, no matter the wired network or wireless communication, it is easy to be interfered or even blocked by monsters and foreign natives.

The air fortress is located at an altitude of hundreds of meters or even nearly a thousand meters. It originally has the advantage of being condescending. It can easily be transformed into a super-large signal relay station, so that humans within a hundred miles can share combat information and send out calls for help. Signals to transmit various instructions.

In addition, conventional ground forward bases are often difficult to move and cannot be used again.

With the passage of the battle front and the continuous expansion of Dragon City's control area, many advance bases that were originally located on the front line often become located in the rear of mankind within three to five years or even less, losing their original functions. .

In this case, whether it is demolished, transformed, or discarded, a lot of precious resources will be consumed or even wasted.

Of course, the ground advance base can also adopt a modular design. When necessary, various modules are disassembled, transported to a more front-line place, and reassembled.

The problem is, considering the power of the beast swarm, most forward bases have extremely high requirements for defense. Many modules are deeply embedded in the ground and welded tightly with the surrounding modules.

Not to mention the cost of re-disassembly and assembly.

In other words, after repeated disassembly, transportation, and assembly, the durability and defense of some modules have been greatly reduced, making the entire forward base no longer meet the acceptance standards, which is very troublesome.

And all these problems do not exist for air forward bases.

After all, the air forward base originally had the ability to ignore the terrain, fly freely, and deploy at will.

It can even move forward several kilometers every day as the front advances, constantly spreading the light of human civilization to farther places.

And because the air forward base is composed of countless armored airships.

Its size can also be adjusted at will.

If the strategic value of a certain place is extremely high, or the threat of the enemy is extremely high, the air forward base can be formed by connecting hundreds of armored airships end to end, three-dimensionally connected, and become a strategic fortress high above and suppressing everything.

If the strategic value of a certain place is not high, or the combat readiness level is low, or the enemy's situation is unknown, and only long-term observation is needed, then a small air fortress composed of ten or twenty armored airships is also sufficient for most routine operations.

Based on these advantages, plus some companies in the nine super enterprises, they already have quite deep technology accumulation in the field of armored airship research and development.

Therefore, when the situation of the monster war eased slightly and Dragon City was able to gather more strategic resources, the "Air Advance Base Project" began to advance at full speed with the support of more than half of the council members.

The Red Dragon Army originally also supported the "Air Forward Base Project".

After all, the Red Dragon Army at that time did not have too much combat power and too much right to speak. It only existed as a transcendent, mainly a vassal of the peerless powerhouses of the nine super companies.

However, as the war continued, the Red Dragon Army cultivated more and more masters of its own, and after they gradually matured, they discovered that the "air advance base project" might not meet their own needs.

After all, the carrying capacity of an armored airship has a limit no matter how high it is.

The nine super companies mainly rely on superhumans to fight.

The armored airship is more than enough to transport the Transcendent, various equipment of the Transcendent, and provide logistical support.

However, the steel torrent of the Red Dragon Army, hundreds of thousands of troops, and train guns weighing dozens or even hundreds of tons are difficult to transport by armored airships and stay on the sky fortress for a long time.

Just at this time, humans excavated the remains of the ancient teleportation array from the ancient ruins.

Using this as a blueprint, the "planetary surface short-distance jumping system" belonging to human beings was reproduced.

After careful consideration, the Red Dragon Army decided to invest most of its resources in the teleportation array technology, and rely on the teleportation array technology to recreate strategies, tactics, and corresponding equipment that are more suitable for the Red Dragon Army.

So far, the Red Dragon Army and the nine super enterprises have parted ways in terms of strategic development direction and methods.

The "air advance base project" also fell 100% into the hands of the nine super companies.
