"How's going on with your plans to auction off the Wind Rider Battleboat?" Thinking of the ion cannon, he thought of the loot he got from the Sijing people, and Lin Hai immediately contacted Sun Dahai.

"It's in the final stages." Sun Dahai replied, "The final decision was made at the Obiya base, and several major countries wrote back that they would participate." Now Zhao Wu is doing the final checks, and the official start may be next weekend. ”

"Country Z is also coming?" Lin Hai paused, "Didn't they already have one?" ”

"They're just here to put on a show, to show that they don't have that thing in their hands. At the time of the auction, they will also hold up their cards, but they will not actually auction them, and they will help us raise the price casually, which is probably a gesture of goodwill to us. ”

"It doesn't matter how much this kind of thing is," Lin Hai waved his hand, "I only care about how much money and resources we can get this time." ”

"Please rest assured, we have specially invited a fairly famous auctioneer to preside, and I believe that each wind rider will not be less than 5 billion."

"I'd like to hope that this number will be exceeded, so that the first system of the rail-ion cannon will have enough money to procure manufacturing resources. If we had resources worth 10 billion now, Wang Hammer would be able to complete the first set of ion cannon systems within a month, and launch them into space together with its camouflage system. ”

"Speaking of Wang Hammer, he seems to have a new product that can compete with the Guardian tank of the M people."

"There's no point in getting something new now, the most important thing for us is to send the ion cannon into space as soon as possible. We need the ability to protect ourselves, because I suddenly found that we are in a dangerous situation at the moment, although our relations with country Z are relatively good. But they're already coveting our other advanced technologies. That's not to mention what other countries think of us. If we're not careful, we'll be swallowed up by them. ”

"But we don't have enough money." Sun Dahai reminded, "All our current actions are to collect funds. Wang Hammer's new product, if it can be operated well, may be able to get more funds than Riemanrus. Other than that. If you think we need high-powered weapons to deter, then we may be able to get some nuclear bombs from the people of country E. This is the fastest and most efficient solution. ”

"Nuclear bombs?" Lin Hai hesitated a little, "Will this be counterproductive?" You know, now those countries that have nuclear weapons are the most taboo about the loss of nuclear weapons, if we have the news of nuclear weapons to let people know. Probably be treated as a terrorist......"

"Sir, is there a difference between owning a nuclear bomb and owning an ion cannon?" Zhao Dahai asked, "It's all weapons of mass destruction." Either way, the ultimate goal is to deter others. Then in the eyes of others, both are the same thing. ”

"You're right, I'm having a short circuit in my head." Lin Hai laughed at himself, "Then do as you say." We don't need much, nuclear bombs are for us. After all, it is only a transitional deterrent, and when the orbital ion cannon system is completed, the nuclear bomb will be useless. They are nowhere near as good as space-based orbital weapons that can attack in real time. ”

"Not necessarily, sir." Sun Dahai said, "Even the Global Defense Force has a considerable amount of nuclear weapons in stockpiles. The number and power are also enough to destroy the earth. It's just that with the advent of ion cannons, the Global Defense Force rarely uses nuclear weapons, but it's not that they haven't been used. Not to mention Mars, nuclear weapons are an important weapon for the global defense forces, and the earth alone. There have been seven recorded cases in which the Global Defense Force has used nuclear weapons to eliminate human and robot rebels. Of course, that was when the more extreme situation was when the ion cannon could not be used. ”

"The ion cannon can't be used?" Hearing this, Lin Hai was very surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Why haven't I heard you about this before? ”

"As I said, that's when extreme situations happen. For example, all ion cannons have their own tasks and cannot be supported for a short time; In other words, the ion artillery system is strongly interfered with from the ground and cannot accurately attack ground targets, so it can only use nuclear missiles guided by drone lasers; There were also some things like the ion cannon that provided orbital fire support at the time that was faulty or under maintenance. In any case, the Global Defense Force rarely hesitates to use nuclear weapons. Use it when you need it. ”

"Then they're not afraid to blow up the earth." Hearing that in another parallel space, nuclear bombs could be used casually, and Lin Hai could only roll his eyes.

"Anyway, most of the nuclear weapons are in the hands of the Global Defense Forces, and the number of nuclear bombs in the hands of the rebels has never exceeded ten. As for robots, of course they are capable of making nuclear bombs, after all, they control half of Mars, and there are a lot of materials on Mars to make nuclear weapons, and of course we and them use them casually. But fortunately, we have a strong power to control the universe, so basically most of the nuclear bombs launched by robots can be intercepted by us in the middle, and we counterattack the nuclear bombs of robots, but their countermeasures are very few, most of them rely on the ground defense system to intercept the end, but there are laser weapons in hand, the success rate of their interception is still very high, and the robot manufacturing is not slow to make several degrees, even if there is a nuclear bomb that is not intercepted, they can quickly recover their strength in a short time, That's one of the reasons why we've been able to get rid of those mutinous robots. ”

"The people who live on Mars are really pitiful, and they have to be scared all day long."

"That's it." Sun Dahai scratched his face and said leisurely, "Before we came here, the main inhabitants of Mars were all serious criminals such as death row criminals, as well as clones, and the main industry was also mining. The formerly innocent natural inhabitants have largely returned to Earth. ”

"Then the pressure of life on the earth must be not small?"

"This is natural, and the most direct issue is employment and law and order. The continued existence of human rebels also depends on these problems. ”

"Well, basically I got it. Wait a minute, I will contact Wang Hammer and ask about the situation on his side, Zhao Wu will also handle the auction of Sijingren's equipment, and on your side, in addition to finding a way to get some nuclear bombs, you will continue to supervise the construction of the Antarctic base. If I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be long before it's fully operational? ”

"Half a month, sir." Speaking of the Antarctic base, Sun Dahai's spirit was obviously a little different, a little excited, and even his voice was a little higher, "Now the twelve refineries in the Antarctic base can be used in advance, so in terms of the Antarctic base, there is no need for us to provide resources at present." Oh no, food is still needed, after all, clones are not robots, and they still need to consume food to survive. However, Zhao Wu has helped a lot in this regard, and he has already stockpiled a lot of food for the needs of the army, which is enough for 100,000 people to use for five years. However, because of the trend of the new Cold War, grain is no longer very easy to procure. So we interrupted right near the Obia base and grew our own food. Due to the existence of the Obiya base, the security environment in that area is already quite good, and the number of civilians fleeing the war is also increasing, although the attack of the Sijing people frightened many people before, but at least we won the war, so most people still think that the Obiya area is safe. At present, we plan to organize those civilians to plant food crops and raise livestock nearby, which can reduce the financial pressure on us to purchase food on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to buy the hearts and minds of the locals, in addition to better stabilizing the surrounding environment of the base, and allowing us to maintain our presence in Somalia for a longer time. ”

"That's good!" Lin Hai slapped his face, "This kind of thing should be reported first!" Isn't self-sufficiency what we've always emphasized? ”

"That's true, but it's not easy to execute." Sun Dahai said, "It is because the land near the base is not suitable for growing crops, and further land transformation is needed." But we don't have the expertise to do it, and we don't have the knowledge in our cloned human database. ”

"Then you'll have to find someone." Lin Hai said, "But this is only a small problem, agricultural experts, there are still a lot of people in this world." Anyway, Somalia is said to have more than 8 million hectares of land that can be planted, and the real use of it is only more than 1 million hectares, so it's a big deal that we can change places to plant. But let's turn back to the Antarctic base. I have a question right now. ”

"Sir, please."

"Again, it's about the Antarctic base. Are you saying that in half a month, the Antarctic base will be fully operational? ”

"That's right, at that time, all of our production, command, and training systems will be transferred to Antarctica."

"So, how did you solve the transportation problem?" Lin Hai projected a map of the world and put Antarctica at the maximum, "If we want to transport the things made in the Antarctic base, I mean a large number of heavy equipment and other things, to Asia, Africa, and Europe, how can we transport them, and we can't let others find out?" First of all, if you use a large cargo ship, then it will definitely be very conspicuous, and the ships of human beings in this world to and from Antarctica are basically scientific research ships, and their purpose is very clear. If a large number of large-tonnage transport ships suddenly appear, it will be very conspicuous. Secondly, we don't have submarines either, especially when we need to transport tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, and other big things, and it is known that submarines are not capable of transporting these things. Finally, as in the first case, if you use aircraft, will you be able to interfere with the cover throughout the whole process, as in the Kilimanjaro base? (To be continued.) )
