Chapter 76 Base Defense Measures
Thursday, May 15th.
The Lishan Science and Technology Field Base is under construction in full swing.
The current construction is mainly divided into two aspects. The first is to continue to build more barracks and space-time particle collection sites on the surface, and the second is to continue to expand the underground space through shield machines.
After the destruction of the Fujitang Group's field base, Chen She could see from the pendulum that the risk of attention was greatly reduced. Therefore, the field base of Lishan Technology no longer needed to be concealed and could be built openly.
The barracks were built to transfer more resistance fighters to the wilderness. After all, the original headquarters of the Chen Group was in a satellite city, which was too conspicuous and posed a certain risk of exposure.
Chen She's goal is to transfer most of the resistance forces to the wilderness, especially to complete all businesses such as OEM factories in the wilderness, while the Chen Group headquarters will only retain some industries that are closely related to Dawn City, such as Mewtwo research and development and product distribution.
At this time, Chen She was in the conference room of the field base, discussing the future construction plan of the base with several key senior rebel leaders.
"My current plans focus on three aspects: the daily production operations of the base, the perimeter defense of the base, and the daily training of the resistance fighters."
"The first is the daily production operations of the base."
"In addition to continuing to build space-time particle collection sites in the surrounding area, we will also try our best to transfer all foundry business to the wilderness."
"Although collecting space-time particles will definitely not recover the cost of building a collection site in the short term, it will definitely be useful in the long run. In addition, we will also build a factory here and move all the current production lines to the wilderness."
"At the Chen Group headquarters, we will try to keep only those businesses that have frequent dealings with Dawn City, such as Mewtwo R&D and various publicity and distribution departments."
"After all, we will continue to go further down the manufacturing path, and it is likely that we will be involved in military production in the future. It will be safer for us to move all production to the wilderness as soon as possible. Although it will become more difficult to obtain raw materials, I think it is necessary."
"Of course, we will also symbolically retain a few production lines in the original foundry."
"What I'm thinking about is to establish a well-defined system for recruiting soldiers, so that we can safely select suitable candidates from the lower-class people in Dawn City to strengthen the resistance army. Of course, this selection must be done with great care."
"The first step is to recruit homeless people, hooligans and other unemployed people to our foundry in the satellite city. Although they also have to undertake certain production tasks, they are not skilled workers and their production efficiency will definitely not be very high. This is not a problem, because we keep this foundry mainly to screen and absorb a large number of qualified people."
"These people are all dissatisfied with the status quo, and their fates are somewhat similar. We don't need to forcefully instill anything in them. We just need to let them empathize with each other's fate and share the same hatred for the enemy in their daily communication."
"After comprehensive investigation, we can recruit those people with tragic backgrounds and strong hatred towards the big chaebols into the foundry in the wilderness to produce higher-grade products."
"Step 2: In the foundry in the wilderness, we organized people to educate and train them, and provide them with basic knowledge and basic education after work. This will further strengthen their hatred for the big chaebols."
"Step 3: On this basis, we will provide these people with daily basic combat training. On the surface, it is to screen and train corporate soldiers, but in fact, it is to absorb them into the ranks of the resistance army."
"We didn't confront them until we were sure that they had highly identified with our ideas and had formed an inseparable bond with us. We told them that you are now a glorious rebel. Let's work together to overthrow the big chaebols and transform the entire old land."
Of course, there is one thing Chen She did not say explicitly, which is that in this process he would also use the special abilities of the Curse Scholar to screen at every stage and eliminate those who are hostile or suspected to be traitors.
Zhang Sirui raised his hand and asked, "Captain, I have a question."
"If some of these people are stubborn and refuse to change their ways, or if they have other ideas after knowing some of our secrets, how should we deal with them?"
The other responsible persons also nodded , and it was obvious that Zhang Sirui's concerns were justified.
It's not so bad for the homeless, after all, they are marginalized people in the world. Those with simple minds and stuttering will be more grateful, but many of them are stubborn and stubborn. Even in the foundry, they are always thinking about how to slip away. It is almost impossible to reform such people through subtle influence.
Moreover, all the big chaebols have given very generous rewards to those who report the rebels. Many times, some people suddenly change their minds and want to report after learning the secrets of the rebels at the last step. It is not impossible for this to happen.
Chen She said: "It's very simple. Before these people come to the wild base, if they are stubborn, we will drive them away and let them fend for themselves. After these people come to the wild base, they will have no say."
"If these people know our secrets but don't want to cooperate, we also have special ways to transform them."
"We need to set up a reformation unit in the base. These people must continue to work and receive ideological education until their minds are transformed. Of course, if some people can really persist for a long time under such circumstances, we can only ask for mercy. We will destroy his spirit and let his body make the final contribution to the resistance."
"After all, we are the resistance army. We are engaged in a brutal battle with the big capitalists. We are not a charity organization. For the stubborn enemies, we will either reform their minds or eliminate them physically."
For Chen She, if there really is such a person who is still stubborn after repeated transformation, then there is really no better way. It would be a bit of a waste to kill him directly. Fortunately, there are still many resistance fighters waiting in line in the other side, waiting for new bodies in reality.
The current recruitment system of the Chen Group mainly recruits people from the lower classes of society in the first step, most of whom live in poverty. The possibility of successful transformation is very high.
The number of people who really need to be physically eliminated can only be very small.
Of course, even if there are only a few, they have to plan ahead and be prepared for this. Otherwise, if a traitor appears at that time, the resistance may fail.
Chen She continued, "In addition, we can also recruit some homeless orphans from society. If we let these orphans wander around the streets, the best outcome for them is to become beggars on the street or gang members. Worse still, they might freeze to death on the street on a cold night."
"We took these orphans directly to the camp, and assigned special personnel to provide them with daily education and training. Compared with adult street thugs and vagrants, these orphans are obviously better candidates for training. Growing up in the environment of the resistance army, they will definitely identify more with the resistance army."
The responsible persons nodded one after another without any objection. It was obvious that Chen She's plan was relatively comprehensive and feasible.
The source of soldiers for the rebels has been a problem that has troubled everyone for a long time. If no new soldiers are recruited, the rebels will only have so many soldiers, and if one is sacrificed, there will be one less. If we continue to fight like this, there will definitely not be a very optimistic result.
However, recruiting new members might lead to the disclosure of secrets and retaliation from the corporate alliance. If there is only one traitor, the consequences will be disastrous.
The ice crew recruitment system built by Chen She is divided into many levels. People are selected from the bottom of society, and after layers of screening, safety can be ensured to the greatest extent possible.
Moreover, the recruits first entered the foundry to work, ensuring the daily operation of Lishan Technology, and then gradually developed into resistance fighters. Not only did they have a natural cover, but they could also maintain the daily operation of the entire company.
Chen She continued: "The second is the outer defense of the base."
"This field base is extremely important to us. Once the secret is leaked or other big chaebols attack, this base will be our last fortress."
"So we must build a strong outer defense and rely on field bases to fight in extreme situations so that we will not be at a disadvantage."
"But an overly high-spec perimeter defense may also attract the attention and vigilance of other large financial groups, so I want to build a very low-key but extremely powerful three-dimensional defense system."
The responsible persons looked at each other. They understood what Chen She said very well, but they could not form a clear concept in their minds about his so-called very low-key yet extremely powerful three-dimensional defense system.
From a security perspective, the more comprehensive and powerful the base's defense measures are, the better. However, the problem is that some super-standard security measures will arouse suspicion.
At present, Lishan Technology is just a new super dream company. For a normal super dream company, they don’t have a very urgent demand to build a base in the wild. Even if there are some security needs, most super dream companies will directly choose to purchase the security services of the Icefield Defense Group.
In other words, the company pays the money, and the Icefield Defense Group provides mercenaries and equipment to protect their safety.
After all, not all chaebols in this world are large comprehensive chaebols. Some chaebols have only achieved a monopoly in a specific cultural or economic field, but they do not want to spend precious money and resources on the military industry, so purchasing security services has become their most cost-effective option.
It is already a bit strange that Lishan Technology is building a base in the wild. If it builds an outer defense position that is stronger than the Fujido Group's outdoor base, other large conglomerates will definitely be suspicious of it.
Aren't you a dream company? What's the point of having so many large defense equipment in the field base? What are you defending against?
Someone would definitely think that there must be something shady and extremely confidential in this field base, so it is necessary to build such a strong outer defense position.
Once the big capitalists or other organizations pay attention to this, the defense measures of the entire base will not be safe no matter how powerful they are.
Just like the Fujido Group's field base, in order to protect the results of the Naraku Project, they did build a very strong outer defense position, but they eventually lost it. The reason was that the confidentiality measures were not in place, which attracted too much attention.
So the rebels must not make the same mistake.
But the question is how to build a very low-key but extremely powerful three-dimensional defense system?
The responsible persons vaguely guessed that it might be similar to the base vehicle, working on the appearance to hide those powerful defensive weapons. But their imagination was obviously not enough as to how to hide them.
Chen She tapped twice on the bracelet and sent the design plan to the holographic projection device in the center of the conference table.
Everyone looked at it carefully.
The first device was shaped like a very thick and tall pillar, but there was an arc-shaped aperture on the top that seemed to emit light. The lower part of the pillar was extremely thick and had a solid foundation. It seemed to be buried deep in the soil and looked quite solid.
The shape of the second device is much clearer. It looks like a large anti-aircraft gun. The biggest difference between it and other anti-aircraft guns in the field base is probably that its size and caliber are really exaggerated. It feels like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.
The third device looks even simpler. It is a special kind of wall, but it is different from other walls. Anti-aircraft guns can be hidden in the wall. There is a relatively large fortress at intervals. There are shooting holes on it, and some large combat equipment can also be hidden. For example, the anti-aircraft gun of the second equipment can be hidden in the wall and will only be raised when needed.
Zhao Zhen asked with some confusion: "Captain, I can understand the anti-aircraft guns and the walls, what is the first equipment?"
Chen She explained: "It's called an electromagnetic coil, which can also be understood as a street lamp and a wireless power supply station."
"In the daily use of the base, it mainly plays the role of lighting and transmitting electricity. Once the enemy invades, these electromagnetic coils can directly destroy nearby enemy vehicles, interfere with enemy communication equipment, and accurately kill enemy combatants."
"As for this large-caliber anti-aircraft cannon, its biggest function is not to shoot down aircraft and floating fortresses in the sky. I modified its structure so that it can be used for horizontal shooting very effectively."
"As for this wall, which is much wider and thicker than ordinary walls, not only is the outer shell very strong, but the most important thing is that it can hide a lot of equipment, especially these anti-aircraft machine guns. In addition, there are many shooting holes at specific locations on the wall, and we can use these shooting holes to fight back against the enemy."
Everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances at the electromagnetic coil. They obviously didn't expect that this thing actually had three different functions at the same time!
In daily use, it can be responsible for lighting and power transmission.
The high-energy electric field in this world has its own wireless power transmission function, but this transmission is limited by range. When the base is relatively small, it is sufficient to build the space-time particle collection field next to the high-energy electric field. However, if the scope of the base continues to expand, special equipment will be needed for power transmission.
What's more, some weapons, equipment, vehicles or other equipment require electrical energy.
There are many large military equipment in this world, all of which use special fuels. These fuels are added with space-time particles, so they have long endurance and great power. For example, the hovercraft is a model of powerful and special flying, and it can fly in the sky purely by burning money.
Although these devices are more reliable, the problem is that fuel is too expensive. In contrast, electricity is a cheaper and more accessible energy source, so many civilian vehicles and equipment are driven by electricity.
There are charging facilities near the main roads in Liming City. Once you get close, wireless charging can be automatically performed, alleviating range anxiety to the greatest extent.
The same is true for field bases, where there is frequent movement of personnel and transportation of supplies. These internal transportations cannot all be completed using space-time particles, and still require electrical energy.
Therefore, there must be equipment for wirelessly transmitting electrical energy in the base, which can also be understood as the telephone poles in this world.
Chen She's design combines street lights, electric poles and defensive weapons together, which can be said to be quite novel.
If all these defensive weapons can be implemented, then the effect mentioned by Chen She can indeed be achieved, which is both low-key and concealed while also having high security.
Because the electromagnetic coil looks like just a device responsible for lighting and transmitting electrical energy, and large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns are usually hidden in the walls.
In the eyes of other large financial groups, the defense of Lishan Technology's field base is actually only the shooting holes on the wall. When foreign enemies invade, Lishan Technology's corporate army can only send soldiers into the wall and rely on the fortifications of the wall for defense, which is obviously not a big threat.
But if a large consortium or other organization really attacks, then these telephone poles and large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns that can fire horizontally will catch them off guard.
In fact, Chen She had some other ideas, but he only gave these three options. After all, it was impossible to build a field base into an impregnable combat fortress all at once, so he had to put all the current facilities in place before making long-term plans.
