Chapter 821: Heavy soldiers gathered
Renault's so-called "preparation" is essentially an increase in troops.
At noon that day, two Air Force Silver Goose transport planes roared and flew over Hell Island.
"Buzz..."
Accompanied by the vibration of the magic motive, the back door of the transport plane was slowly lowered.
An officer pointed to the 24 "pillars of heaven" that were very eye-catching ahead, and shouted in the communication channel:
"Everyone, because the Hell Island is shrouded in heavy fog and the visibility is extremely low, please remember that you must land within the scope of the'pillar of heaven'. If you accidentally fly to the area outside the beam of light, please fly back as soon as possible... …Otherwise, accidents may occur, because other areas have not been cleared, and the ground lacks landing signs..."
"understand!"
"To understanding!"
There was a sonorous response from the airborne troops on the channel.
"well!"
The officer made a gesture and shouted a command:
"Start airborne!"
An airborne soldier approaching the cabin door immediately activated the jetpack, and at the same time ran a few steps forward, jumped up, jumped out of the cabin, and fell down.
Behind him, the soldiers of the Airborne Corps jumped out of the transport plane like dumplings.
After the paratroopers finished the jump, it was the turn of 2 Barren Bull armored combat vehicles.
"Kakaka...Kakaka..."
The metal track crushed the metal floor, making a dull knocking sound.
On both sides of each tank, there is a "jet reducer" fixed on each side, and there are two extraordinary winds floating, they will help the tank land in the target area.
The moment the first tank left the cabin and fell downward, a roar sounded in the channel:
"Start the'jet reducer'..."
"Huh...huh..."
The whistling sound of the sharp air current tore the air, and the descent speed of the tank suddenly slowed down. The two extraordinary winds who followed quickly leaned against the tank, manipulating the extraordinary power of the wind, and joined forces to bring this Dozens of tons of steel monsters pushed toward the ring of light beams.
And in the landing field below, which is the area that inspired the "pillar of heaven", black shadows quickly passed through the mist layer of hundreds of meters, "swishing" from the sky.
The flying skills of paratroopers are generally very superb. Many people did not adjust the jet pack jet power to the maximum during the descent process to speed up the landing speed.
It wasn't until the "River of Lights" on the ground was faintly in sight that they suddenly increased their power, adjusted their flight direction, and dashed forward, tracing a perfect arc in the air.
When the paratroopers descended to a height of more than 20 meters on the ground, their speed dropped to within 5 meters per second. Then they chose a safe area and slowly landed on the ground.
A person on duty near the "Pillar of Heaven" system saw the hordes of soldiers "swish" landing on the landing field and marching out of the landing site, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
When several heavy armored tanks crashed to the ground, when the "rumble" came out, he finally murmured:
"God, is **** island going to fight?"
...
"Sirs, please erect these stringers...Please be careful...slow down a little bit...Others, hold on to the lower end of the stringers, and cooperate with the sires..."
Three extraordinary winds, each pulling a rope, respectively hoisted three alloy metal beams of more than 20 meters high, and with the assistance of ground construction personnel, they were put up into a "tripod" shape.
Subsequently, an extraordinary man with a metal control system was hoisted to the top of the "tripod". He used his metal control ability to integrate the three longitudinal beams into one.
Then, in the same way, the beams were welded on, and the metal plates were installed.
Finally, there are four "Metal Smashers" six-barreled heavy machine guns, more than ten heavy ammunition boxes, and a searchlight system.
At this point, a steel guard tower armed to the teeth has been built.
The whole process takes no more than 15 minutes.
Several workers working by the magic smelting furnace saw a group of soldiers quickly build a 30-meter-high metal tower in a short period of time like building blocks, and they were all dumbfounded.
A worker swallowed and asked in a dry voice:
"Guys, this is the sea monster in the sea of mist. Will it attack Hell Island? Will we be in danger?"
Another worker asked curiously:
"Labrador, how do you know that it is a monster from the sea of mist, not the flame monster that emerged from the gate of hell?"
The worker called "Labrador" rolled his eyes upon hearing this:
"Corgi, don't you have bad eyes? Didn't you notice that the muzzle of the magic firearm on the sentry tower is all pointed to the outside?"
Corgi chuckled a few times.
Another worker suddenly inserted:
"Guys, I don't think there are any monsters that can defeat our ocean-lord army... Don't be afraid, just work as usual... If there is any danger, the copper smelter will definitely be evacuated... "
This sentence immediately aroused a voice of dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Doberman, who is scared?"
"Doberman, don't slander people at will..."
Although the workers acted fearlessly, but seeing the army look like an enemy, who is not worried?
...
Hell copper mine.
The so-called "Hell Copper Mine" is exactly the copper mine with magic silver that Renault discovered when he led his team to explore the Sea of Misty.
Because of its very harsh environment, close to several lava islands, if the wind is slightly stronger, you can even smell the sulphur scent from the lava river, like hell, so Renault gave it this domineering name.
"Lord Lord, it seems that'Hell Copper Mine' is not an easy-to-defend position..."
Moose, in full uniform, looked at the peaks of copper ore, shrouded in the mist, and said:
"This mining area is too close to the sea. The straight-line distance is no more than 500 meters. There is not enough buffer area... If I am to command the servant army of the Void Demon Race, I will definitely attack the mining area first."
"With the huge size of the sea monsters, as long as the number is slightly larger, it is very possible to invade the mining area...At that time, the mining of copper ore will definitely be affected, and the supply of magic silver will be directly interrupted."
"In addition, the distance from the mining area to the gate of **** is more than 15 kilometers, and there is still a sea area in between... Once the Demon servants attack, the transportation of copper ore will definitely be cut off..."
The Sea of Misty is so close to the core territory. After realizing the crisis, Renault immediately transferred Moos over and let him take full responsibility for clearing the Demon Servant Army of the Sea of Misty.
Renault nodded and asked:
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Moose replied immediately:
"For the transportation of copper ore, I personally suggest that you directly abandon land transportation and let the airship transport copper ore by air... Otherwise, there are too many positions to defend, and it is difficult for the army to guarantee that there will be no problems... As for technical issues, I think the Rune Research Institute should have a solution..."
Renault pondered for a moment and approved this plan:
"This is a feasible solution, and the technical difficulty is not too great... Just build a 30-meter-high hoisting tower in the mining area, and then use the conveyor belt to send the copper ore up... The airship does not even need to land, and hover in the air. , You can load the ore directly, which also saves the time of taking off and landing, and the transportation efficiency is higher...
He asked again:
"So, what about the problem of the mining area being too close to the sea?"
A sharp look flashed across Moose's old face. He organized the language and slowly said:
"Lord Lord, I have a way...It may cost a little bit more, but I can guarantee that the effect will be very good..."
