As soon as the heavy battlefield vehicle started moving, the scene outside the window suddenly changed. Wu Qi and his party were already sitting in the two rows of fixed seats on the left and right, watching Ye Zheng operate the complicated console.
The acceleration of the vehicle completely exceeded everyone's expectations. It looked like a heavy-duty truck, but in fact it was not as bulky as a heavy-duty truck. On the contrary, it made people feel that the tires were very "slippery", and they were definitely not the type that easily slides on the legs. of vehicles.
However, the heavy field vehicle seemed to be tamed in Ye Zheng's legs. It was a good horse that would never go wrong. The vehicle suddenly turned and drove out of the parking lot at an extremely fast speed, and then headed towards the east side of the base. The wall moved forward inexorably, maintaining a speed of 180 kilometers per hour all the way, crossing the avenue and passing the plantation, and the distance between it and the high wall quickly shortened.
When passing through the high wall, Ye Zheng controlled the heavy battlefield vehicle to slow down, and then through a beam of blue light released from the front of the vehicle and the high wall misconnection message, a huge door was automatically opened at the bottom of the wall for the heavy battlefield vehicle to drive. Ye Zheng stepped on the accelerator and headed east. The giant tires of the heavy field vehicle set off two plumes of smoke and dust, and rushed out of the range of the high wall.
Is this the first time Wu Qi and others left the base after entering Liming Base? Looking at the familiar wasteland, Wu Qi seemed to understand the significance of heavy field vehicles becoming standard equipment for the army at Liming Base.
The heavy-duty battlefield vehicle is a super tool designed to protect against the tide of plague beasts and various unexpected weather conditions in the wasteland. It is highly safe and suitable for long-distance travel, and can transport ores and other resources. It has extremely high acceleration and can promptly recover from the pursuit of plague beasts. Dongfuge, while having a super-massive and bulky car body, inevitably sacrifices the stability of operation, and the weakened stability requires the driver to make up for it with his own proficiency.
Is it a transportation vehicle specially adapted to occupied areas? It has good performance and value. It would be great if, as soldiers, they could obtain the qualification to drive a heavy field vehicle, or if Gu Changzai learned the relevant knowledge of manufacturing, repairing, and operating heavy field vehicles in the factory.
"Instructor Ye, how can I obtain the qualification to drive a heavy battlefield vehicle?" Wu Qi asked loudly.
"The young man has a very sharp vision. Every heavy-duty field vehicle is manufactured by the base at the expense of precious resources. It is a highly sought-after asset. Soldiers will not be given the right to drive easily. If you want to get in touch with it, you must at least become a special soldier." Ye Zheng looked forward, his legs making precise movements on the console, and said while driving.
"Special soldier..." Wu Qi muttered silently. There is indeed a rule at Liming Base. Zhang Jian once said that the higher the position, the greater the power. The power inside is invisible to their new recruits, and they cannot be known until they reach that level.
Xu Wu Qi's question made Ye Zheng more interested in shutting up. He originally planned to mention it later, but now he said: "The mission location they are about to arrive at, Mining Area 130, is the mining area that produces 'Gaussite'." Gauss Stone is a rare ore. The demand for mutated microorganisms in the environment is very high, and mutations will only occur in rare cases. Its properties are very suitable for making high-tech products, and it can be mixed with existing known ores. Producing various changes that tend to be optimal. The composite metal used to make heavy battlefield vehicles must be mixed with a certain proportion of Gaussian stone before it can be melted and made."
"Is it because of the important role of Gossite in the production of raw materials, its rare quantity and its extremely wide consumption channels, that the production quantity of heavy field vehicles is very limited."
"Minghong, thank you, instructor Ye, for clarifying my doubts," Wu Qi said.
"We now fully understand the critical importance of No. 130 Mining Area. Regarding the development and survival of Dawn Base, soldiers must fully protect the Gauss Stone Mining Area from the plague attack. By then there will be no option to retreat if the mission fails. We must do a good job Be mentally prepared.”
Ye Zheng didn't say much. From the limited information he revealed, Wu Qi and others could tell that the task was important. In the worst case, someone would probably die.
Everyone's expressions gradually became grim. It seemed that the duties of the escort were not as "safe and highly rewarding" as they initially analyzed. Guards guard important areas, and sometimes, Fouqiu puts all his strength and life into guarding them.
The 50-kilometer journey quickly ended on the east side of the heavy field vehicle's tires, and a mountain range stretching toward the northeast appeared at the end of the wasteland. The mountain structure of the mountain range is quite special. There is a steep canyon at the entrance. There is a height difference of about 50 meters between the valley bottom and the valley peak. The canyon walls are criss-crossed with rocks. The valley and peaks are arranged in a mixture of needles and broad widths on the dragon's spine of the mountain range. Forest.
The road at the bottom of the canyon is not smooth, and there are fine gravels everywhere. The giant tires of the Pi Nao heavy field vehicle can minimize the impact of traveling on gravel. Driving more than 600 meters from the canyon toward the depths of the mountain, Wu Qi and others finally saw the mining area.
It was their first time to see what an artificial mining area looked like. Seven or eight heavy mining equipment could be seen everywhere. If Gu Changzai was there, he might be able to explain to them the functions and capabilities of the heavy equipment. Maybe even Gu Changzai didn't have any professional knowledge in mining.
Mining workers are not producers, and Wu Qi and his group of soldiers guard the mining area. The two groups of people have different divisions of labor, but there is no need to understand the work of the other party in depth. Ye Zheng walked straight to the person in charge of the mining area after driving east. After a brief exchange between the two parties, Ye Zheng and the person in charge walked up to Wu Qi and his party.
"The general person in charge of No. 130 Mining Area, super producer Li Fushan, outside of the seven-day mission period, we are all under his control. He is our direct subordinate, and we must abide by Dongda's orders." Ye Zheng said solemnly And said seriously.
Li Fushan is a somewhat stout middle-aged man with a receding hairline. He is a head shorter than Ye Zheng and wears a dark green producer uniform.
When they met for the first time, Li Fushan smiled at Wu Qi and other recruits. He said: "Hello, we will stay there for the next seven days to complete the escort mission and do our best to protect the safety of the mining area. Is it completely safe now, but the mining machines Plague species from the mountains and forests and from outside the canyon will be attracted when the work starts, and they will also be present at night. They have already deployed a 15-person escort team, and we will add exactly 20 people. Let's work together."
"no."
After Ye Zheng handed over Wu Qi and others to Li Fushan, he drove a heavy field vehicle and left the mining area. Before leaving, he said that he would come back to pick them up in seven days.
"Let's go meet the other 15 people first." Wu Qi said calmly, and then led Gao Yuan, Guo Baibo, Chris, and Qiyue, and turned towards a camp outside the mining area where the escort team lived.
