Chapter Fifteen Preparing for Battle

  Building Name: War Laboratory

  Construction funds: 5000

  Power demand: 400

  Construction area: 1000 * 1000

  Construction time: 24 hours

  Note: Technology is the primary combat force. Unique buildings are a prerequisite for developing high-tech buildings and technical troops, and they are also the enemy's key strike targets.

  The console transmitted a sly laugh, like Guan Gong warming up wine and beheading Hua Xiong on the stage, with an empty hand stroking his shiny chin, slightly raised little fingers, showing off this guy's inner self-satisfaction.

  Although being promoted to captain did not increase the base's recruitment quota, the emergence of the war laboratory was enough to wipe out any dissatisfaction in Zhong Yi's heart. What kind of laboratory is this? It's the magical Red Boy, Na Zha, and the Golden Horned Shrimp! Especially that sentence "is the premise for developing high-tech buildings and technical troops", which means that engineers and scientists can be recruited; it means that more advanced weapons can be developed independently; it means that there can be mineral refining factories and naval and air force troops.

  "We ordinary people are really happy tonight... Hey, can our base's logistics produce wine?"

  "Reporting officer, the logistics factory has no liquor items available for production. However..."

  "Damn, what a disappointment, but what's up?"

  "Judging from the detection results, there should be many wineries on this continent."

  "Can you determine the location?" Captain Comrade suddenly got drunk today.

  "Reporting officer, no, the base's detection radius is still one hundred kilometers. Within this range, a large number of vineyards have been discovered. The winery should be outside the detection range!"

  "Huh? Bird, what's the requirement for increasing the base control range?"

  "Commander promoted to field-grade officer, base's detection radius can be extended to one thousand kilometers."

  "Depend on...". Zhong Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes, this promotion to captain was really just a stroke of luck. A school-level military rank, who knows what conditions there are! Today's wine is definitely not going to be drunk, forget it, anyway the laboratory construction time is within 24 hours, still early, sleep.

  ……

  Due to the uniqueness of the war laboratory, Zhong Yi did not place it in the desert outside the valley. With its dreamy building shape, even if the enemy didn't know its purpose, they would still prioritize attacking it. Without a strong air force and air defense capabilities, openly placing it outside would be brainless behavior. Fortunately, behind the base's valley lies the Marega Mountains. Although finding a flat square kilometer in the mountains isn't easy, this is Australia - if these mountains were moved to our country, they'd just be a small hill, and even a slightly larger mound would be higher than these mountains. On the holographic map, I searched for a spot between two mountains with flat ground, clicked on the laboratory icon, and confirmed its construction.

  With the expectation that the base can make rapid progress after the completion of the laboratory, even if not a drop of wine was found, Zhong Yi still slept soundly with a happy heart, and this time he was also woken up by the voice of the female anchor.

  "Report, sir. Another group is attempting to approach the base at dawn. Lieutenant Chin Chi-hao has led a guard unit in an armored vehicle to intercept them."

  He stretched his waist, patted his face, and made himself more awake. "Go to the control panel, bird, connect me with the reconnaissance vehicle." The base's communication system was completely controlled by the intelligent system.

  After the "zizi" sound of electricity, before he could sit firmly on his chair, Qian Zhihao's voice came from the control panel: "Boss, it's done. Three horsemen, two were killed and one official was caught. Hey, we're going to have horse meat today."

  "Less nonsense, bury those two corpses well and leave no trace. Then quickly send the living one back. I'd like to see who's behind our troubles."

  "Received, boss. Guaranteed to complete the task."

  "Damn kid!" He shut down the communicator, and Zhong Yi cursed with a smile. Qian Zhihao was an oddity among the Red Alert soldiers. Ever since they had a conversation about their academy days, he got into the habit of calling himself "Old Big Brother". Even though Jiang Yunzhi scolded him several times, he humbly accepted it and refused to change. In fact, Zhong Yi quite enjoyed this feeling, as it allowed him to live with a bit more authenticity in this strange world.

  The wheeled armored personnel carrier driven by the guard squad returned quickly, and its good adaptability made it swim in this desert terrain in Western Australia. If it weren't for the limited reserve of base fuel, I really wanted to build a few more and create a motorized force.

  Qian Zhihao was still very quick-witted and did not bring the captive into the base valley, but instead directly pulled him to the edge of the tank training field. When Zhong Yi arrived, Qian Shaojun was already furious, asking for the reason, and the commanding comrade was also amused. The captured Australian cavalry lieutenant colonel discovered that the soldiers of the guard squad who captured him were also military personnel, and immediately made a fuss, repeatedly demanding equal military rank before accepting interrogation. This made Qian Shaojun feel disrespected, and even when Zhong Yi approached, this guy was still waving his arms and shouting, "NO, NO, your commanding officer is only a senior captain, I demand to be treated as a gentleman...", Qian Zhihao couldn't stand this guy's nonsense anymore, and kicked him to the ground from behind.

  "Hey, our commander is just a lieutenant colonel, what's up with you? You think you can command us as a major general? Don't even mention that you're a major general, even if you were a lieutenant general, you'd still be my prisoner! Behave yourself, and don't try to act so arrogant!"

  Zhong Yi saw this guy crawling up from the ground, muttering to himself, "A group of barbarians, they don't even know what gentlemanly demeanor is." He couldn't help but find it amusing, picked up his yellowish-brown wide-brimmed fur hat, dusted off the dirt, and handed it back to him with a smile, "Gentleman, may I have your name?"

  "Oh, God!" exclaimed the flamboyant expression, "A civilized gentleman has finally appeared! Good day to you, Captain Wayne Rooney, Major of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the British Empire Australian Federation Army. You may address me as Major Rooney!"

  "How dare you! You're still putting on a pretentious face?!" Qian Zhihao got angrier as he listened, and swung his palm again.

  "Oh! Good God, are you people savages? You can't treat a cavalry officer of the British Empire like this, oh!!"

  This time, without using Qian Shaojun's hands, Zhong Yi lifted his leg and kicked him. "Damn it, I'm kicking the British Empire! Honestly, why did you come to spy on our base? You don't have to say, Zhihao, bring two military dogs here!"

  "Alright, let you show off, still British Empire, let the military dog come and discuss with you what is a gentleman."

  "Oh no! You can't treat prisoners of war like this, it's against humanitarianism, it's against the Geneva Convention. Ah, stinky dog, get away from me..."

  No surprise, it turns out that the so-called British gentleman has no bottom line in the face of the military dog's foul-mouthed saliva, saying what should and shouldn't be said, even revealing his secret crush on the farmer's daughter from a nearby farm.

  Holding the soldier's confession, Zhong Yi smiled wryly and asked in a low voice: "Zhihao, do you smell it?"

  "What? Boss, what's that smell?"

  "Fight, the breath of fighting." Zhong Yi muttered to himself.

  "Yes, three days later, that third cavalry division will send someone to attack if they don't receive his reply. But boss, we're not afraid of any enemy, our tanks haven't even tasted the flavor of the enemy yet, let them come, we're ready for battle at any time."

  "Yes, Zhihao, you're right. We are soldiers, Chinese soldiers, we fear no enemy! Great China Base, from now on, prepare for battle!"
