Chapter 458 More Powerful Cluster Rockets
( ) Recapture Wanghai City from alien species?
I have to say that this proposal is very attractive, and now it seems that it does have this ability.
Before the war, Wanghai City was not only an important economic center for Pan-Asian cooperation, but also an industrial base centered on high-tech industries. If the entire city of Wanghai can be brought under control, the speed of restoring pre-war technology from the ruins will undoubtedly be much faster.
But this involves another issue.
It is true that alien species threaten the lives of survivors, but the sub-crystals they provide are also the cornerstone of survivors' industrial development. The power station on the 6th block needs sub-crystals, as do the fuel rods for everything from cars to power armor. Survivors who were unable to obtain helium-4 from the moon to produce nuclear fusion batteries could only rely on fuel rods of the same specification made from subcrystals to power pre-war equipment.
For example, this kind of fuel rods are now used in shelter 27.
The source of income of the sixth block is precisely relying on the hunting ground of Wanghai City. If the alien species in the steel and concrete forest are cleaned up, the hunting groups that depend on it for a living will have to travel farther to obtain prey.
However, Jiang Chen hesitated for two minutes before making a choice.
Recover Wanghai City.
The reason is simple, from hunting to farming is the only way from barbarism to civilization. And this first step towards civilization must be taken one day. It is impossible for Jiang Chen to provide food for this place all the time. The current total population is only tens of thousands. Will it become hundreds of thousands in the future? How about millions?
As for the problem of farming, if you are willing to pay the cost, there are actually ways to solve it. With the current production capacity of the Eden Project controlled by Lin Ling, it is not impossible to establish a closed biosphere in the suburbs of Wanghai City.
As for the source of sub-crystals, Jiang Chen already had another idea in his mind, but to make it a reality, he still needed to discuss it with the biologists in Vault 27.
After coming out of the community center, Jiang Chen went directly to the open space of the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, where he found Jiang Lin who had just returned to the surface.
It's also interesting to say. I saw that this guy was playing with a wrench while wandering around the bm-21 rocket launcher that Jiang Chen bought. This picture is like a modern rocket expert in the 21st century, fiddling around a "Shenhuo Flying Crow" from the Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers on the side were watching Jiang Lin nervously, for fear that he would tear this thing apart.
He doesn't care about scientific research or non-scientific research. As the gunner in charge of launching the rocket, he only knew that this thing wiped out the zombies and alien species in half the city.
Even after two days had passed, he still had a fresh memory of that humming power.
"See what's going on here?" Jiang Chen asked casually when he walked to his side.
Nodding his head. Jiang Lin sighed: "The design is very simple, and it can even be described as primitive, whether it is a directional tube or an ignition system. The rockets that occurred did not add any guidance function, and they simply suppressed the target in a saturated way. There is indeed nothing more suitable for dealing with zombies and alien species than oil and bombs. But this thing, I’m afraid it will put a lot of pressure on logistics, right?”
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and did not answer his question.
Just kidding, is logistics or something a problem to me, Master?
"There is indeed logistical pressure, but it is not unsolvable. I need you to help me design a similar cluster rocket launcher, which does not require any sky-defying guidance capabilities. It only needs to send more than 30 kilograms of combat components to several Ten kilometers away. The power is greater than this old antique, and the error is smaller than this old antique. Can it be done?"
"It's very easy, you just need to modify the composition of propellant fuel and explosives. The problem lies in the materials. It is more difficult to find some oil in the wasteland. If the problem of raw materials can be solved, the production of this luxury weapon will not be a problem. It's not difficult." Jiang Lin nodded, and after a pause, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does the Dolphin-10 ballistic missile still need to be built?"
"Of course I do. I have other uses for nuclear bombs." Jiang Chen smiled.
Jiang Lin scratched the back of his head and said helplessly, "Okay. Since you insist."
Arrangements for the rockets are over, and the next step is the production of sub-crystals.
The alien tide has ended, and Wang Zhaowu began to prepare to lead the Second Corps back to Camp No. 27. When Jiang Chen came out of the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, the convoy of the Second Corps had already lined up at the gate. Waiting for Wang Zhaowu's order to set off.
"Marshal." After seeing Jiang Chen, Wang Zhaowu gave a military salute.
"No need to be too polite. Are you going to go to Camp 27 now?"
"Yes, our soldiers are ready." Wang Zhaowu said.
"Then take me for a ride, I just happen to be going too." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay!" Wang Zhaowu nodded, and immediately went to arrange a seat for Jiang Chen.
About ten minutes later, the convoy of the First Corps finally finished loading supplies. With the opening of the base gate. Watched by the survivors, the convoy started slowly on the road.
Along the way, there were scorched corpses everywhere. Halfway through the convoy, Jiang Chen saw a mountain of flesh kneeling in the middle of the road. Its complexion is ferocious, and its whole body is darker than blacks. Seeing that it was blocking the way of the convoy, the Assault infantry vehicle Jiang Chen was sitting on turned the top machine gun, and just shot a few lightly, the black coal was like a mountain of meat, and it was broken into carbon blocks like briquettes.
After running over the "cinder", the convoy continued to move forward. The tragic situation along the way really makes people feel a little sick, but for the determined people of the last days, it is just a common sight.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Chen turned off the camera at the viewing port, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
After about an hour's drive, the convoy finally reached the gate of Camp No. 27. When setting up the scrubbing, the First Corps did not let go of this blind spot, so at this moment, the entire Camp No. 27 was in darkness, looking like it was on fire. However, the materials on the surface are basically moved underground, and it doesn't matter if the remaining cement is burned casually.
The door opened, and the inside was also a mess.
Zombies who smelled the breath of the living would not let this place go because of the withdrawal of the Second Corps. The high wall of more than ten meters was just a matter of thousands or hundreds of zombie meat pads.
The corpses were piled up at the entrance of the elevator. The engineers jumped out of the car, put on gas masks, and worked with shovels for a long time. Finally, they cleaned up the ashes piled at the entrance of the elevator.
"Damn, the people from the First Corps are really ruthless." After getting out of the car with Jiang Chen, Wang Zhaowu grinned and couldn't help cursing with a smile.
"I have to be ruthless, or we will have to face a group of zombies climbing over the wall when we come back." Jiang Chen joked.
"It's true. But the engineers responsible for cleaning the battlefield are going to have a big head." After teasing, Wang Zhaowu said goodbye to Jiang Chen and walked to the truck behind the convoy.
He now needed to arrange for the redeployment of stationary weapons immediately. During the evacuation, the machine guns and electromagnetic guns on the fence were pulled back to the fishbone base, and now they have been pulled back, so naturally they need to be reinstalled.
At the same time, the current bird image in the camp is obviously uninhabitable without a thorough cleaning.
Without disturbing the work of the Second Corps, Jiang Chen walked straight to the elevator of the shelter. (To be continued.)
