82: The strategic transfer was successful, Fang Le materialized the military base!!!

After arriving at Alice Springs, the large force of over ten thousand people did not stop but passed through the town, then made a slight detour to the west and entered a canyon, causing many in Fang Le's large force to feel confused.

Could this truly be the final destination of the army?

But here, it seemed there was almost nothing but red rock.

However, this guess was confirmed.

Because the order from above was for the large force to set up a temporary camp.

After the collective encampment was completed, Fang Le gathered high-ranking military officials like Yue Hanshan and Zhao Gang for a small meeting.

"I believe everyone knows the reason I ordered the troops to abandon Alice Springs and arrive here."

"Although Alice Springs has undergone basic development, its military value is not that high."

"And the MacDonnell Ranges, where we are currently located, is the best development base in central Australia."

"This mountain range is 650 kilometers long in total, with an average height of over one thousand meters. The main body of the range consists of several east-west trending mountains, and we are currently in the gap between two of these mountain ranges."

"This allows us to easily defend against attacks from the south and north, leaving only defense on the east and west sides. In the not-too-wide canyon terrain, it is much easier to resist American military attacks."

Yue Hanshan and the others nodded; they had long shared this consensus with Fang Le.

Fang Le: "However, this mountain range is vast, and the most suitable location for building a base still needs careful exploration."

"Therefore, I ask the scouts and engineers under your command to be dispatched in the coming days to extensively explore the terrain and geography of this mountain range. The more detailed, the better. Although high-altitude satellites can provide basic intelligence, there are many places satellites cannot see."

"Alright, meeting adjourned."

Afterward, Yue Hanshan and the others dispersed.

Fang Le, meanwhile, sat in an off-road military vehicle, with Ouyang, the head of the guard regiment, as the driver, and Yan Ruyu as a bodyguard, inspecting the roads between the mountains.

Amidst the bumps, he looked out of the car.

It had to be said, these mountains were truly barren.

All that met his eyes were dark red rocks, low shrubs, sparse wilderness, at most some drought-resistant eucalyptus trees, and occasionally small animals, staring with innocent big eyes at the massive military vehicle.

"Stop—"

Fang Le ordered the vehicle to stop.

He got out of the car, stepped on the uneven ground, and made a strange gesture.

He closed his eyes, extended one arm forward, and silently recited in his mind:

"System, determine if this location is suitable for manifestation."

The system responded immediately.

In Fang Le's mind, a three-dimensional simplified map of the local terrain and geography appeared, and in the palm of his outstretched hand, a miniature structural diagram of a special building emerged, moving with the movement of his palm.

At this moment, the miniature diagram in his palm was red.

Red indicated that it was not suitable for manifestation here.

Fang Le turned his palm to point in other directions, but it still showed red.

Reluctantly, he opened his eyes, sighed, and thought, 'It won't work.'

How to put it, his function was somewhat similar to the operation in some wilderness survival games when one wants to place a constructible building: if a place is not suitable for placing a building, it shows red; if it is suitable, it shows green.

And whether it is suitable or not requires the system to make a comprehensive judgment based on the overall geography, terrain, geological structure, and so on.

The system's buildings have very high safety requirements.

This means that on the surface, any randomly chosen place, no matter how flat or solid the ground, is not suitable for settlement.

The buildings favored by the system are all built underground, with the parts above ground providing protection, so under a mountain is the most suitable location for manifestation.

When Fang Le first arrived in Australia, he checked in and activated a series of large gift packages, many of which contained military-related buildings. He had also tried to find suitable places to manifest system buildings in Darwin City, but found almost none.

He initially thought the system was being overly critical, but it wasn't until the U.S. Military dropped a GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator that he understood the system's painstaking efforts.

He led his large army to the MacDonnell Ranges in central Australia, also judging that only mountainous terrain was most suitable for system building manifestation.

Now, since the system judged the location unsuitable, it meant either the mountain body here was not thick enough, providing insufficient concealment, or the mountain structure was unstable, etc.—in short, these factors.

Fang Le got back into the car and continued to drive for a while amidst the bumps, testing some other seemingly good locations, but they all remained red.

Further ahead, due to the lack of existing roads, it was completely unsuitable for off-roading, so the military vehicle had to turn back.

Hmm, it seems that the best place to put system buildings can only be chosen after the complete topographical and geographical map of the region is produced.

When Fang Le and his group returned to the camp, they found a large area of temporary tents had already been set up.

At this moment, dusk was approaching.

No choice, let's talk about other things tomorrow.

While the Anti-War Army was settling in, the global netizens were restless with curiosity.

For some unknown reason, the Anti-War Army stopped its global migration live stream when it reached outside Alice Springs.

Where the Anti-War Army went next, or whether they had already settled in Alice Springs, netizens had no idea.

Some netizens cleverly speculated: "Haha, why did the Anti-War Army stop the live stream? The reason is simple: they want to occupy Alice Springs, which will inevitably lead to conflicts with the local residents of Alice Springs, and even gunfire and deaths. This certainly doesn't fit the glorious and righteous image the Anti-War Army has built for itself. The Anti-War Army simply doesn't dare to let the world know about its illegal actions!"

Netizens sympathetic to the Anti-War Army retorted: "Don't talk nonsense. Violently seizing others' territory is what you American military and your masters, the Jews, love most. The Anti-War Army is not like that... They stopped the live stream certainly for secrecy, after all, anything further would involve the Anti-War Army's specific military deployment."

Someone egged on: "Are there any netizens from Alice Springs, Australia? Can you secretly post a video, or even start a live stream? We want to know what's happening with the Anti-War Army in Alice Springs?"

Then, a netizen whose ID was marked as Alice Springs indeed started a video live stream, showing the current state of Alice Springs.

In the video, Alice Springs was as it was, with no trace of the Anti-War Army visible on the streets.

This left the watching netizens puzzled.

"Where's the Anti-War Army?"

"Could they have been blocked outside the town by the self-organized armed resident militias of Alice Springs?"

The live streamer responded: "No, in fact, the Anti-War Army just passed through Alice Springs and did not stay here at all. As for where they ultimately went, we don't know either; they disappeared not too long after leaving the town."

Ah?

If they continued south after leaving Alice Springs, were there still places suitable for settlement?

Or did the Anti-War Army simply choose a wilderness area and make it their new base?

What a joke?!

How could one survive in the wilderness?
