Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 365 Eagle Strikes the Sky
Aynak, northeastern Afghanistan.

It is the world's second largest copper mine and the world's largest open-pit copper mine.

Its mining process is far more violent and shocking than that of underground mines.

Looking from afar.

At the foot of the vast mountain, two crawler-wheel bucket miners purchased by CITIC, manufactured by Sanyuan Heavy Industries, and assembled by Sanyuan Construction are 105 meters high, 62 meters wide, 248 meters long, and weigh about 1.5 tons. They are like giants holding grinding wheels, cutting the earth day and night.

At the front end, 48 sets of buckets rotate in turns and can excavate 60 cubic meters of soil and rock every day.

At their tails, there are mine carts with wheels as big as houses. They only need to stay at the end of the conveyor belt for a dozen seconds to transport nearly 200 tons of simply screened sulfide ore.

Around the mine, there are many factories, with crushing area, grinding area, screening area, refining area, water purification area, nuclear power generation area...
If we refer to the 1.35% copper grade of the rich ore in Aynak, this copper mine invested by CITIC can produce 8000 tons of copper concentrate per day.

Far exceeded the expected annual output of 2 tons.

But it also requires paying more for electricity, water, transportation, security, and environmental protection...
Well, environmental fees.

After all, this is not the East, but the Afghanistan region.

The local forces occupying Aynak say that you are polluting the environment and must pay a fine. What can you do?
Fortunately, they took the money and really did the job.

Not only did they clear out the ruthless gangs around the mine, they also built an airport, watchtowers, bunkers, and barbed wire around Aynak, turning Aynak into a battle fortress.

Noon on September 1th.

When the person in charge of the mining area received the news that the temporary railway was destroyed by an unknown helicopter, he quickly found Baturu, the leader of the cavalry recommended by Yu Sanyuan and a descendant of Genghis Khan.

The latter was actually a spearman, and had already known about this through the watchtowers scattered throughout the WaH Corridor and Aynak.

"As the saying goes, wars are fought with logistics. The enemy destroyed the temporary railway in winter. They must be planning to use the heavy snow to block the mountains and prevent Sanyuan Agriculture from supporting us, and then take the opportunity to seize Aynak."

"So what should we do?"

“Use the mined mines to grow crops.”

"Farming?"

"We grow vegetables, fruits, and grains, and we also raise chickens, ducks, pigs, and cattle. We are prepared for a protracted war."

"···"

At this time, a melodious air raid alarm sounded from the southwest of the mine.

The two came to the window.

In the distance, countless lines of fire mixed with tracer bullets were seen shooting out from the ground.

They intertwined with each other in the sky and released clusters of fireworks at the end.

Enduring.

At the same time, hundreds of flying monkeys rose from the plains, hills and slopes of Aynak.

They were like combs, dragging their tails across the blue sky, leaving trails of white smoke, and then colliding with their peers flying from the southeast.

The dense mid-air explosions were like the fireworks set off during the Spring Festival.

It is both beautiful and spectacular, but also terrifying.

in silence.

The emergency contactor suddenly rang.

The mine manager pressed the answer button, "Hello, this is Aynak 030 mine."

“Turn off all electrical equipment, including mining machines and mining carts.”

"Got it, got it."

next moment.

In the direction of Aynak Airport, 35 black fighter planes took off into the sky.

···
The North American Ranger special forces lurking near Aynak immediately reported the situation:
"Mig!"

"It's MiG!"

Northern Afghanistan.

The head of the North American theater in Afghanistan frowned as he looked at the combat command system.

"The MiGs are already in the air. Have you spotted the Vertibirds? Where are they?"

"There were five of them overhead, but we could only 'see' them using the Keyhole satellites, and the Theta satellite (signal tower) they launched was using its thrusters and was close to the Keyhole."

"We must get rid of Asuka-I as soon as possible!"

"I'll think of another way."

"Report, according to calculations, the MiGs are approaching our camp, but we are unable to detect them."

"The Sixth and Eighth Flight Groups take off!"

Following the order, 24 improved F15 heavy air superiority fighters and 24 improved F16 multi-purpose light fighters took off from the Northern Alliance airport.

After Sanyuan Agriculture developed carbon nanomaterials, North America began to focus on research on anti-interference and anti-magnetic storms, and re-sealed radars, antennas, and wires for a number of fighter jets and warships to avoid exposing metal pipes and being hit by EMP.

After the Moscow airport incident, North America even equipped some F15 and F16 models with "electromagnetic countermeasure pods" to greatly enhance the survivability of combat units in electromagnetic environments.

Three minutes later.

North American radar system, "Report, still no MiGs found."

"Sixth and Eighth Flight Groups reporting!"

"Target not found."

"Be vigilant."

"I spotted it, above the clouds, but I couldn't lock on, couldn't track it, did it fire blanks? Oh, shit, it messed up my windshield..."

Inside the command post.

A staff officer stood up suddenly, "It's a graphite bullet, a nano-grade graphite bullet!"

The Afghan war zone leader suddenly remembered something, "Be careful of EMP!"

Along with the warning, there were lightning and thunder in the sky.

More than 30 F15s and F16s fell to the ground quickly like dumplings.

Soon, white flowers bloomed in the sky.

That was the pilot who ejected.

The command post suddenly fell silent.

Graphite bombs release large amounts of graphite fibers into the target area, allowing these fibers to float into electronic equipment. The conductivity of graphite is then used to cause a short circuit in power facilities, paralyzing the power system.

An electromagnetic pulse is the release of a large amount of electromagnetic energy to a target area, using electronic overload to disrupt or destroy electronic equipment.

Both types of decoy bombs can be protected individually.

For example, improving the sealing of power facilities to prevent graphite fibers from entering.

For example, strengthening the insulation of power facilities to prevent the penetration of electromagnetic energy.

And the graphite fibers must enter the interior of electronic devices and come into contact with electricity to be effective.

Electromagnetic energy lasts for a maximum of 0.1 seconds in the air, and then completely loses its effectiveness within 1 to 5 seconds.

Therefore, the North American Air Force is fully confident that it can defend against Sanyuan Agriculture’s graphite bombs and EMP.

What no one expected was that the other party would first spread graphite fibers in the air, allowing the F15 and F16 with good sealing properties to absorb it, and even suck it into the engine through the air intake.

The melting point of graphite is as high as 3600℃, and the maximum temperature in the combustion chamber of a fighter jet is 1900℃, which obviously cannot melt graphite.

At this time, a few oversized electromagnetic pulse bombs will be fired to charge the graphite fibers and cause them to be overloaded with electrons. In an instant, not to mention the electronic equipment of the fighter plane, even the turbine blades inside the fighter plane's engine may be bent, smashed, or even collapsed by the "electricity"...

After all, if a bird flies into the engine, it may destroy the entire fighter plane.

Once a fighter jet is damaged, the violent electromagnetic energy will find a breakthrough and destroy the fighter jet's electronic equipment within milliseconds.

Moreover, the graphite fibers floating in the air, when charged by the electromagnetic pulse bomb, will form an "electrical grid" in the air, covering an airspace of tens of thousands of square meters.

When a high-speed fighter enters here, regardless of whether it breaks through the hypersonic speed, as long as it hits "this net", the radio and communication waves will be forcibly interfered with. Boom boom boom~~~
Suddenly, accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, the command post began to shake violently.

If we lose air superiority, we will definitely be bombed.

Fortunately, in order to drive Sanyuan Agriculture out of Aynak, federal capital only used one twentieth of its strength in this attempt.

With the Aynak mine losing its supplies and North America blockading the southern waters and airspace, the Aynak defenders' weapons will become less and less, and they will eventually become trapped.

boom!
There was a sudden loud bang and the power to the command post was cut off.

"Commander, we seem to be trapped."

"···"

Two hours later.

Wait until things outside calm down.

The soldiers in the command post used a cutting machine to open the deformed protective door and looked outside.

On the devastated land, there were countless white silk threads floating around, similar to spider silk but finer than spider silk.

When you touch it gently with your hand, it crackles and a large ball of sparks explodes.

The vehicles, barracks, and airports in the distance have all been razed to the ground.

Obviously, in this camp that was exposed first, only the personnel in the command post survived.

But the war did not stop.

Another command post seemed to have locked onto the Vertibird-I.

Continuously launch dozens of Maverick missiles redesigned using graphene.

Just for a moment.

Several bright lights flashed in the sky, but it was impossible to determine whether they hit the target.

Then, the command post was flooded by thousands of missiles...
···
Aynak - Frontline outpost.

Sanyuan Agriculture's perception combat system requires the support of three things: a sentry tower, a Feynman I reconnaissance aircraft, and a central processing unit.

The sentry tower is a building unit in the center of the town, and its alarm function can only be used by system personnel. Therefore, the trade hall and Xintai Data Center have arranged tens of thousands of sisters-in-law who have learned to operate electronic equipment to receive alarm information and import the information into computers.

At the same time, the sentry tower is equipped with non-standard high-frequency signal transceivers developed by Hong Kong Sanyuan Technology Group to form the Sanyuan communication network.

The warning signals that the sisters-in-law entered into the computer were transmitted to the central processor of the three-series industrial zone through the three-yuan communication network.

After receiving the data, the central processor can directly provide combat information with the help of professional war models.

But this is only within the coverage area of ​​the sentry tower.

If you want to obtain information from the outside world, you also need to use the Fenyx I reconnaissance aircraft to scan the external geographical information.

Therefore, once the Fenyx I reconnaissance aircraft was shot down, and there was no black fat man to provide vision from the outside world, it would lose perception of the outside world.

Fortunately, the signal tower was sent into space some time ago. With the help of the Long March series operating rocket and 24 unused thrusters tied to it, it can be changed to the sky over West Asia.

However, Sanyuan Agriculture's defense system is not omnipotent due to lack of experience in war.

Under the attack of the North American missile cluster, a large number of watchtowers were destroyed and a large number of fortifications were damaged.

The retired general of the Air Force who was in charge of commanding the operation, after experiencing the disparity in firepower between the two sides, believed that passive defense was too disadvantageous, so he simply dispatched all the fighter planes to seize air supremacy in one fell swoop.

Soon, 35 high-performance MiG-25s and 20 J11Bs took off at the same time.

···
North America, Pentagon.

The first battle with Sanyuan Agriculture put a lot of pressure on the generals.

First, in terms of firepower, capitalism is indeed inferior to collectivism.

Because capitalist missiles cost money to buy.

Just build the missile of collectivism.

So in the first round of mutual display of strength, Sanyuan Agriculture’s missiles and guided missiles were five times as many as North America.

As a result, the two command posts were destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Second, Sanyuan Agriculture’s application of graphite decoy bombs and electromagnetic pulse bombs is simply superb.

Because a graphite bomb can only cover 15 square meters at most, which may seem large, but when placed in the air, it is almost negligible compared to the flight surface of F16 and F.

However, Sanyuan Agriculture's perception combat system can accurately calculate the flight trajectory of the F15 and F16 and detonate the ambush in advance.

Such powerful computing and inference capabilities are almost at the quantum level.

It also made the North American Pentagon seriously suspect that Sanyuan Agriculture had created the AI ​​fabricated by the Pingdong Science and Technology Bureau.

Yet the war still has to be fought.

Aynak still wanted to rob.

A senior executive of the North American military consultant RAND Corporation analyzed: "It is certain that all the Flying Bird I reconnaissance aircraft were shot down, and there were no new takeoffs in the Aynak area."

Rumsfeld: "What is supporting their perception system?"

"It should be a satellite. Their West Tower (signal tower) satellite has changed its orbit and appeared over West Asia."

"Can we take it down?"

After Rumsfeld finished speaking, he saw the full picture of the "Theta Satellite" pushed by his assistant.

It was an iron lump similar to the Eiffel Tower, with a carrier rocket tied to the back, and it was difficult to see where the core part was.

And this big guy is running rampant in low-Earth orbit.

After all, it is a sophisticated satellite and no one can hit it.

Rumsfeld was silent for a moment. "What the hell is this?"

"Maybe it's a launch pad, maybe a new rocket, or maybe the frame of a space station."

Rand Corporation still has something. It immediately took out the plan for the first launch of the signal tower by the Bashu Civilian Space Center. "I prefer the space station because Sanyuan Agriculture needs the space station for breeding experiments."

"It's a terrifying growth rate," Rumsfeld said, rubbing his temple. "What's the best plan we can implement now?"

"Air combat, seize air supremacy."

"But it is difficult for us to deal with graphite bombs + electromagnetic pulses. This is a war we have never faced before."

"But we must seize air superiority, otherwise all our command posts will be hit with precision, leading to our ultimate failure."

Hearing this, Rumsfeld thought of the F15s and F16s that were like dumplings falling from the sky, and shook his head in denial, "Aynak has already lost its logistical supplies. What I hope is to consume them and force Sanyuan Agriculture to retreat, rather than compete with them in losses."

"Then we can only let the Northern Alliance and the Southern Alliance, one in the west and one in the south, use crowd tactics to attack Aynak. When the Aynak mine is almost exhausted, we will send out elite troops."

"You can try it."

···
Aynak, the front line sentry.

Thanks to the MiGs and J11Bs that had just been deployed, the attacking side's heavy weapons were destroyed, and inflicted countless casualties on the other side.

The 20,000 combat units crawling in the bunkers faced no pressure at all against the ragtag armies of the Northern Alliance and the Southern Alliance.

Even some of the fat black men who were in charge of controlling the missiles simply put on armor, picked up spears, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

After all, hand-to-hand combat can best reflect the willpower of an army.

The same is true.

The harvesting by machine gun fire made it difficult for the charging ragtag troops to feel the threat of death.

But a fat black man with flesh and internal organs all over his body charging towards them could make the ragtag soldiers forget the guns in their hands and subconsciously raise their hands to block.

I do not know how long it has been.

Perhaps the air battle affected the clouds, or perhaps the weather in West Asia is just like this.

The originally clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily.

After their offensive was thwarted, the ragtag armies of the Confederacy and the Union finally began to retreat on a large scale.
