Chapter 42: Chapter 41: Fire Squad First Phase Summary Report
About half a day after the rabbits signed the treaty with Chixian City, Lin Li also brought a report back to the headquarters.
Blood drawing, disinfectant spraying, X-ray scans....
After a series of complex procedures, Lin Li was finally taken to an office.
Looking at the much skinnier Lin Li in front of him, Qin Zhendong couldn’t help but laugh:
"Old Lin, haven’t seen you for a while, you’re almost as thin as a pig liver.
Come, sit down and have some tea."
Lin Li is a nationally renowned authority on biology, a well-respected academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Qin Zhendong had dealt with him many times, so their meeting wasn’t very formal.
Upon hearing this, Lin Li cracked a wry smile, shook his head as he sat down in the chair:
"There’s nothing I can do, the burden is too heavy.
Not trying to boast myself.
The importance of the Fire Camp counts as top-notch in five thousand years of Huaxia’s history.
Every day my hair just keeps falling like crazy.
I can only look forward to the research results on spiritual energy over there, to see if we might salvage something in the future."
Speaking of the camp, Qin Zhendong’s face gradually turned serious:
"Old Lin, I heard you brought back a progress report this time?"
Lin Li nodded and took out a classified dossier:
"The report mainly consists of two parts.
The first part summarizes all the data we’ve collected previously.
The second part is the experimental achievements and our think tank’s speculations."
Qin Zhendong took the dossier, paying special attention to the lock on it, and asked Lin Li:
"Old Lin, this classified dossier wasn’t meddled with on the way, was it?"
Lin Li immediately responded:
"No, I kept it on me the whole time, and during the X-ray scans, it was exchanged between me and Colonel Lin Ziming."
Qin Zhendong nodded:
"That’s good."
Then he pressed a few times on the lock.
With a clicking sound, the latch popped open.
Qin Zhendong took out several documents and started reading them seriously. (Guys, stop asking why it’s just Qin Zhendong, I’ve been warned by the editors several times about the risks; if I go further, this book will be gone.)
Quickly skimming through a few lines of information, Qin Zhendong’s eyes stopped on a line on the first page of the report.
"Huh?"
He looked up at Lin Li:
"Old Lin, has the water resource from the Damo Realm been tested and confirmed drinkable?"
Lin Li replied confidently:
"Our helicopters discovered two rivers during exploration, and multiple wells were found in Chixian City.
According to our sampled analysis, the water temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, permanganate index, COD—which is the biochemical oxygen demand, five-day biochemical oxygen demand of Damo Realm’s water sources are all normal.
Some microorganisms have never been discovered before, but their phenotypic traits have similar referents on Earth, and these microorganisms cannot survive under high temperatures either."
Qin Zhendong, a top university graduate, could barely understand these concepts Lin Li was talking about.
As a frontier commander, he was also acutely aware of the importance of water sources.
From the simplest transport capacity perspective.
Once confirmed that the Damo Realm’s water sources are disinfected and drinkable, the headquarters can relax a bit—it’s no small amount of water consumption for thousands of people in the Fire Camp.
Although there are pipes that can directly channel water outside the light gate, that’s all there is to it.
Transporting a large amount of domestic water from outside to inside through the gate every day isn’t exactly an easy task either.
Not to mention some machinery consumes a lot of water—for instance, pulse water pressure machinery; before confirming whether Damo Realm’s water resources are corrosive and contaminating, who dares to use water from another dimension as industrial water?
Now that it’s confirmed that the quality of Damo Realm’s water resources is normal, some hydraulic equipment can gradually be transported.
Once a water pump station is established, some thousand-ton or even ten-thousand-ton water forging presses can be brought and used immediately.
With this kind of water pressure equipment.
Some machinery that cannot fully pass through the light gate can be disassembled locally and assembled in the other dimension.
For example.....
Fighter jets and large armed helicopters!
It’s somewhat fortunate to say the least.
This time during the beast wave Chixian City encountered, there were no flying demonic beasts.
Otherwise, with the anti-air firepower reserves of Yan Shaohua’s air defense company level.
Victory might still have been possible, but it definitely wouldn’t have been as easy, and it would hardly have been possible to achieve annihilation.
But once fighter jets and large armed helicopters are available.....
The rabbits’ air and space combat capabilities can be increased by several levels.
If conditions allow, they can even stage surprise airborne operations.
Then Qin Zhendong flipped through the report again as he continued to ask:
"By the way, Old Lin, any progress on the missile trajectories in the Damo Realm?"
Lin Li had prepared beforehand for this, so although it’s not his professional area, he reported very fluently:
"The engine optimization is almost done—Damo Realm has a higher oxygen content, making engines prone to overload and overheat.
Fortunately, we have technical reserves in ZC for optimizing equipment in oxygen-rich areas, which we expect to complete within a day or two.
Besides that.
The short-range missiles—those within a 1000-kilometer range—ballistics principles have made breakthrough progress.
Based on simulations from the military supercomputer ’Hou Yi’ used by the Eastern theater.
The trajectory curvature of missiles within 300 kilometers during the active phase is infinitely close to normal values, the deviation of given speed and ballistic instrumentation angle during the re-entry phase is 0.0000014, whereas the allowable deviation for this range of missiles is 0.0000038.
In simple terms, short-range missiles within 300 kilometers have fully met conventional launch indicators.
But beyond 300 kilometers....
Every additional fifty kilometers of range, the deviation of the missile’s approximative curve function will be 1%.
Beyond 800 kilometers, there could even be situations where the velocity vector of the missile’s center of mass separates from the Ox2 axis of the coordinate system.
By then, it’s not just about shooting deviation; the missile could even disintegrate and explode mid-flight.
As for medium-range or even intercontinental missiles that are further.....
Lin Li stopped here, shook his head, and let out a regretful sigh.
In the Damo Realm, some physical constants vary greatly, with some data changes even completely contradicting known physical laws.
So despite numerous military industrial teams and dozens of top supercomputers working day and night, the rabbits can barely push missile range to the threshold of 300 kilometers.
Beyond that, it’s almost impossible to practice.
For rabbits in the late stages of firepower inadequacy phobia, this is practically like sleeping without locking the door.
"It’s okay, step by step, take it slow."
Seeing Lin Li a bit discouraged, Qin Zhendong quickly comforted him:
"Anyway, the constants that needed testing have already been measured, solving it all is just a matter of time.
As my son keeps saying, ’Once the health bar is displayed, even gods can be slaughtered for you to see’."
Lin Li: "...."
Why does that sound so familiar?
Why do I feel an urge to pull out a pen...
Then Qin Zhendong read a few more lines and continued to ask: "Old Lin, what is this ’Damo-Earth Boundaries Combat Power Estimation’?"
