At night in New Hefei, it was bustling and noisy, and comrades from the eastern war zone were warmly entertained.
The former Colonel Hu, Commander Hu, and Comrade Hu Ge did not participate in this kind of banquet. The King Kong stopped on the familiar independent high platform that had not been knocked down.
Watching the twinkling lights of buildings in the distance, I cook and eat by myself.
For Shen Cong, this situation was something he couldn't get used to anymore.
In the afternoon, many people who knew Shen Cong had already come over to say hello to him. Wang Yingying, Li Aiping, Zhang Youhai, Zhu Haifeng and so on. However, Shen Cong's attitude was consistent, showing a familiar indifference to them, which also reassured them that Shen Cong was still the same Shen Cong.
Perhaps, in Shen Cong's eyes, there is no concept of friends at all.
Only yourself, past, present and future.
There was a lot of bustle in the distant buildings, and with Shen Cong's ears, he could hear lame jokes. But none of this made him feel any strange.
Shen Cong only ate the food he cooked and enjoyed being so calm alone.
Not long after dinner, Li Aiping came over again and conveyed the news to Shen Cong: "Colonel, Commander Zhao said that he will host a meeting with Political Commissar Zhou at 8:30 in the evening. Please be sure to attend. It is about the Huoshan Oasis."
Shen Cong didn't want to get involved in some so-called important things, but when it came to Huoshan Oasis, he didn't want to miss it, so he nodded and agreed.
After finishing the message, Li Aiping wanted to say something, but she looked at Donkey Kong who closed the car door tightly.
She shook her head and turned away.
She was heartbroken when Shen Cong left without saying goodbye. However, when Shen Cong came back, she found that all the feelings had faded. Time can wither everything, not to mention the person she was not familiar with, or even a complete stranger.
…
Looking at the time, Shen Cong found that there was still an hour until half past eight, so he continued to do his own thing.
He was ready to continue working on something he worked on every day—the Totem Engine.
With the horns of the Hexagonal Dragon, theoretically speaking, it is enough to support the replacement of Donkey Kong's power source, and the totem machine with new power can already be manufactured. But the problem is that the outer gill of the Hexagonal Dragon is two meters and a half long and is a complete horn. When making the totem, it is necessary to ensure that the integrity of the outer gill is not damaged.
This requires the width of the hexagonal totem engine to be at least five meters.
This is more than the width of Donkey Kong.
"The traditional engine position at the front of the car is definitely not able to accommodate such a large Totem engine. Only by moving the engine across from the front of the car and installing it on the chassis of the car can the size of the Totem engine be accommodated."
Shen Cong thought, to install the hexagonal totem engine, it must be installed on the chassis. And this will undoubtedly involve major modifications to the car's chassis, which will require a lot of effort.
"After many changes, the Totem engine is still immature, and the Totem chariot has never been released."
"Now we can only launch the totem generator first."
"There are more powerful motors in the eastern theater. I can spend money to buy them and replace them. I will make a stopgap measure for the time being. Once the hexagonal totem engine is designed, I can find a place to quietly modify it and try to complete the totem chariot."
Putting aside the matter of the totem engine, Shen Cong's eyes fell on the six-barreled rapid-fire machine gun. This small Vulcan cannon is now equipped with thousands of rounds of ammunition and can fire at a slow speed for a minute or two.
Shen Cong planned to install this small Vulcan cannon on the top of Donkey Kong's car.
An automatic loading system and automatic aiming system need to be designed.
It's also quite complicated.
However, the weapons have been obtained, installed and functioning, which is a matter of time or sooner. Now they can be held in their hands and fired.
For Shen Cong, who had the strength of thirty oxen, the recoil of the Vulcan cannon was almost zero, and he didn't even need to press the muzzle.
…
Busy and busy, it’s half past eight.
Putting on his semi-activated armor, Shen Cong rushed to the conference room.
Today, he is still one of the Standing Committee members and deputy commander of New Hefei, so he sits next to leaders Zhao Weiliang, Zhu Li, and Zhou Aoxuan. Shen Cong likes this position. As long as there is a slight change in the conference room, he can immediately control the leader.
The first topic discussed at the meeting was very serious, regarding whether New Hefei should be relocated to the Eastern Theater Command.
Shen Cong was not very concerned about this issue and did not speak.
The final outcome of the discussion was to wait until the Eastern War Zone had cleared out the rat-infested areas before discussing relocation. After all, unless an armored vehicle or a super-large tank like Donkey Kong takes the lead in an area hit hard by ratmen, it will never be possible to rush through. Once you fall into it, you will be in big trouble.
Relocating ordinary survivors is almost empty talk.
Since there is no relocation for the time being, cooperation and exchanges between the two places will be the next topic.
Zhou Aoxuan, representing the Eastern Theater Command, expressed that New Hefei should be included in the integrated military management of the theater. Zhao Weiliang and Zhu Li had no objections to this, especially Zhao Weiliang, who had long wanted to contact the Eastern Theater Command.
Then, we moved on to the last topic, which is the security and defense of New Hefei.
Zhao Weiliang first elaborated on the current safety hazard in New Hefei - Dragon Hornets.
New Hefei has been included in the foraging range of Dragon Hornets. For this reason, several militia teams have accidentally become the prey of Dragon Hornets. Later, smoke was invented to repel bees, which can somewhat resist dragon wasps, but it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. If smoke is not used in time, dragon wasps will still be hunted by dragon hornets.
Especially during the peak hunting period of dragon hornets, people in New Hefei don't even dare to leave the city.
"We are here this time. I heard from Chen...Colonel Hu that he brought sufficient guns and ammunition. We must eliminate all threatening golden beasts around New Hefei." Zhou Aoxuan immediately expressed his position after listening.
After confirming the eradication, the next step is to formulate a plan.
"The biggest threat around New Hefei is the Huoshan Oasis. There are three super-heavy golden beasts in the Huoshan Oasis, the iron-eating beast, the dragon wasp, and the locust swarm. The next-level threat is the four heavyweight golden beasts, the leper fly, the bloody Mosquitoes, tall spiders and huntsman spiders, as well as the newly discovered ornithosaurs.”
"The direct threat is the Dragon Hornet. The Dragon Hornet is located in a ravine in Luoerling Town, Huoshan County. The Mozitan Reservoir to the south is where the iron-eating beast was found, and then came out from the direction of the Longhekou Reservoir. A swarm of locusts.”
A staff officer brought by Zhou Aoxuan circled three places around Huoshan County on the map.
"We can go to Lu'an City first. We will pass through Xinqiao Airport in this picture. We can get rid of the leprosy flies first, and then go to Huoshan County from Jiguang Expressway. Be careful and attack the nest of dragon hornets. We can win quickly and win. Destroy the dragon hornets without being discovered by the iron-eating beasts and locusts."
"If we are discovered by locusts, we should return here immediately to Heishidu Town, and then drive into the river to avoid the locusts. If we are discovered by the iron-eating beast, then... we have drones for reconnaissance, and can be discovered by the iron-eating beast. , consider yourself unlucky."
"As long as the Dragon Hornets are dealt with first, Xinhefei can safely spend the next period of time. After communicating with the war zone, Xinhefei can easily choose whether to leave or stay."
After the staff member finished speaking, Zhou Aoxuan asked Shen Cong: "Colonel Hu, do you have anything to add?"
"No."
"Then we will take a rest tonight, conduct an on-site inspection tomorrow, and start our work the day after tomorrow." (To be continued.)
