Long Zhan spoke up as well:
"I've already raised the priority of launching satellites. Drones are limited by their power supply and can't monitor the Demon Clan's movements at long range for extended periods."
"If they hold a grudge and sneak over alone to carry out assassinations, we could suffer major losses!"
"We need satellites to monitor their movements over long periods so we're prepared for any eventuality. The Long March rocket can launch tomorrow at the earliest."
With satellites, many smart weapons would have far more room to shine.
For instance, the intelligent brain could come online, and the soldiers' personal smart terminals would have more uses instead of merely being worn as watches.
Of course, there was also guidance coordination for various weapons, along with long-range communications.
At present, their information-based warfare depended entirely on drones. That came with too many limitations and was genuinely inconvenient.
The two operations staff officers immediately agreed.
"Exactly. With satellites, we'll have our own unique advantage: eyes in the sky."
Naturally, Lin Mo had no objections. He didn't understand warfare, so he could leave those arrangements to the professionals.
Long Zhan continued:
"One more thing. A lot of our weapons and ammunition have lost their originally intended functions on the Terra Continent and need replacing."
"On that point, I propose replacing the explosives in all our artillery shells with more powerful cubic nitrogen and switching all firearms to large calibers, such as 14.5 mm antiaircraft machine guns."
"For the same volume, cubic nitrogen has five times the explosive power of TNT. Later, we can try developing bullets filled with cubic nitrogen, making every round the equivalent of a high-explosive shell."
Lin Mo inwardly marveled as he listened.
That idea was very Long Zhan!
Based on his experience and observations at the front,
