I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 395 Logistics Support
Hearing this, the whole hall suddenly became chaotic, some people panicked and started queuing up, and some people who were not in this hall started running to the hall they were in.

Kevin also hurriedly hugged Jeffrey and ran towards his own terminal. He also ran over and "drew through the door".

Seeing this chaotic scene, the lieutenant colonel frowned, and added loudly: "Line up within 10 minutes! Board the ship sequentially within half an hour! The spaceship will take off in one hour, and those who have not boarded the ship will be treated as deserters." !"

Similar scenes were staged in every waiting hall of this space port. These recruits who knew nothing about war did not know that they had actually started their recruit training from this moment.

The star ring alliance has a very large shortage of soldiers, and there are still a large number of newly built spaceships waiting to be filled. There is not much time left for recruits to train. They even have less than five months of training time. After that, they will be assigned to their respective teams. Serving on the spaceship to which he belongs, more training can only be carried out by relying on actual combat.

……

Not only the Star Ring Alliance is frantically increasing its troops, but almost every force, big or small, has launched its own compulsory conscription plan.Perhaps only the steel torrent, which has been prepared for a long time, is slightly better, but judging from the current developments, the scale of the war will definitely increase further, and the steel torrent will also usher in further conscription plans.

The only news reported by the media of many forces during this time is the war that has almost swept across the entire Star Ring Starfield.Some media have already referred to this war as the First World War of the Star Ring Star Field.

The scope of this war ranges from the inner ring to the outer ring of the star ring star field, from the bustling star field near the three major forces to the free people star field on the edge. So far, more than 1000 large and small forces and tens of billions of people have been involved. When entering the war, the combat area spans the entire asteroid belt of 2 astronomical units.

Jeffrey was reassigned to the S10117 material transport ship of the third column as the maintenance chief of the fusion engine.In the past peaceful years, it was hard to imagine that a recruit in less than a year could hold such an important position. At this time, his military rank was already a lieutenant.

Before that, he served on two frigates successively, the first of which was damaged by being hit in the power room. Fortunately, he was not on duty in the power room at that time.

The second ship was successfully attacked by the enemy's small spacecraft in a large-scale battle, and was destroyed by multiple power nozzles, resulting in a loss of power.Fortunately, the Star Ring Alliance was the winning side in that battle, otherwise he and his comrades on the same ship would have been captured.

In fact, in the cosmic war in the star ring star field, it is difficult for the spaceship to completely destroy the opponent in an instant. After all, the 30-ton spaceship actually does not have a big target in the universe, except for light-speed weapons such as laser cannons. Electromagnetic guns with a speed of more than [-] times the speed of sound can obtain very loose maneuvering and dodging time at ultra-long distances.However, limited to technical capabilities, although light-speed weapons can quickly and accurately hit the target, their lethality is somewhat insufficient.Therefore, most of the long-range attacks in one-on-one or encounters with a small number of troops on both sides can only damage the opponent's spaceship, and it is difficult to keep the opponent.

What really caused a large number of casualties was actually the dense saturation attacks of both sides in large-scale battles, as well as various ambushes and sneak attacks such as space mines and small spaceships hidden behind meteorites.

Since Jeffrey is already a "veteran" who has experienced two battles, and participated in a large-scale battle for the second time, he was assigned to the spaceship for logistics support.

When many recruits heard about the logistics support spaceship, they thought it would be a safer position not to go to the front line, but as a "veteran" Jeffrey knew that was not the case at all.

Since the ancient times when humans used swords and spears in wars, the attack on logistics support has been the highest priority option in wars.

Logistical support is the decisive factor in maintaining the combat power of an army. Even a spaceship like a three-level unit frigate that can support hundreds of people for a year in food consumption cannot maintain its firepower for a year.In wars, ammunition is consumed faster than expected, and the ammunition of a third-tier frigate in some fierce battles can be consumed in just a few days.A frigate without ammunition is just a coffin floating in the universe, a living target for the enemy.

The fusion engine compartment is different from what many people imagined. It is not the kind of place full of mechanical roar, but very quiet.

The technology of controllable nuclear fusion is very mature for human beings, and it has developed to the third generation of fusion reactors in the era of the solar system.

The algebra of a fusion reactor represents the elements it can fuse to the maximum. For example, the first-generation fusion reactor can only fuse two elements, hydrogen and helium, while the second-generation fusion reactor can continue to increase the temperature and pressure to ignite carbon after fusing hydrogen and helium. The fusion reaction of neon elements can be ignited by the third-generation fusion reactor.

The reason for this design is not to define three generations of fusion reactors in the order of the periodic table of elements.It is because the hydrogen fusion product is helium, and the helium fusion product is carbon and oxygen, and the fusion products of carbon are a little more, which are oxygen, neon, sodium, and magnesium.The elements in the fusion reactor are generated in large quantities in this order. Of course, there will be various reasons such as neutron capture, and the fusion of heavy elements and light elements to produce other elements. However, due to the relationship between fusion products, the production ratio of carbon, oxygen, and neon will vary. bigger.

Since the raw material for the next step of fusion can be produced by itself, the elements that are easier to fuse are used as the algebraic division standard of the fusion reactor.

So the fusion engine of this mature technology is actually very quiet. The man-made composite shell uses a strong magnetic field to restrain the violent plasma inside. Jeffrey is responsible for maintaining such a device.

It is said that maintenance is actually mainly a daily inspection of its working status. If a problem is found, report it in time, and replace it with spare parts in case of emergency.If the failure of a core component requires shutdown and disassembly, Jeffrey cannot handle it.

Jeffrey's 30-ton cargo spaceship formed a supply fleet with [-] other spaceships of the same level.Of course, there are hundreds of third-class frigates and a thousand or so small armed spaceships as escorts.

What they undertook was the supply task of the third column on the front line. This time they were fully loaded with 500 million tons of ammunition and 100 million tons of other munitions, and drove to the front line.

The third column they were in was a new team that was confronting the torrent of steel on the battlefield. Except for the command system, almost all the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level were recruits, and only a few key positions were equipped with some original professional soldiers.

Although it is a newly recruited team, their team has a good record. At least they can fight back and forth with each other on the frontal battlefield, forming a tug-of-war.

The spaceship team departed from the Starlink Alliance's front-line industrial base and headed for the deployment site of the third column. Along the way, they could see a large number of abandoned asteroids that were originally inhabited.
