Recapture Wanghai City from the aliens
I have to say that this proposal is very tempting, and now it seems that NAC does have this ability.
Before the war, Wanghai City was not only an economic center for Pan-Asian cooperation, but also an industrial base with high-tech industries as its core. If the entire Wanghai City 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 subcrystals they provide are also the cornerstone of the survivors' industrial development. The power station in Block 6 requires subcrystal, as do the fuel rods for everything from cars to power armor. The survivors who were unable to obtain helium-4 from the moon to produce nuclear fusion batteries could only rely on fuel rods made from subcrystals of the same specifications to power pre-war equipment.
For example, this type of fuel rod is currently used in Vault 27.
The economic source of the Sixth District relies on Wanghai City as a hunting ground. If the alien species in this steel and concrete forest are cleared away, the hunting groups that rely on it for a living will have to go further to obtain prey.
However, Jiang Chen only hesitated for two minutes before making his choice.
Recover Wanghai City.
The reason is simple. From hunting to farming, it is the only way from barbarism to civilization. And this first step towards civilization is what NAC must take one day. Jiang Chen can't always provide food here. The total population of NAC is only tens of thousands now. What if it becomes hundreds of thousands in the future? How about millions
As for the problem of farming, if you are willing to bear the cost, there is actually a way to solve it. The Eden Project controlled by Lin Ling, with NAC's current productivity, is not impossible to establish a closed biosphere in the suburbs of Wanghai City.
As for the source of the sub-crystal, Jiang Chen actually had another idea in mind, but if he wanted to turn it into 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 interesting to say. I saw this guy playing with a wrench and wandering around the M-21 rocket launcher Jiang Chen bought. This picture is like a modern rocket expert from the 21st century, tinkering around a "Flying Crow" from the Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers on the side were looking at Jiang Lin nervously, fearing that he would dismantle the thing.
He doesn't care about scientific research or not. As the gunner responsible for launching rockets, he only knew that this thing killed zombies and alien species in half the city. The whining power was still fresh in his memory even though two days had passed.
"Do you see something interesting?" Jiang Chen asked casually as he walked next to him.
While nodding. Jiang Lin sighed: "The design is very simple, and can even be described as primitive, whether it is the directional tube or the ignition system. The rocket that occurred did not add any guidance function, and purely suppressed the target through saturation coverage. In conjunction with the solidified vapor There is indeed nothing more suitable for dealing with zombies and alien species than oil bombs, which are magical weapons that can kill biological targets. But this thing will probably put a lot of pressure on logistics, right?"
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and did not answer his question.
Are you kidding me? Is logistics a problem to me
"The logistical pressure is indeed there, but it is not unsolvable. I need you to help me design a similar cluster rocket launcher. It does not require any extraordinary guidance ability. I only need to send more than 30 kilograms of combat parts to a few 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 easy. You just need to modify the components of the propulsion fuel and explosives. The problem lies in the materials. It is harder to find some oil in the wasteland than anything else. If the problem of raw materials can be solved, it will be possible to produce such a luxury weapon and It's not a difficult task." Jiang Lin nodded. After a moment of pause, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does the Dolphin-10 ballistic missile still need to be built?"
"Of course. I have other uses for nuclear bombs." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Jiang Lin scratched the back of his head and said helplessly: "Okay. If you insist."
With the rockets arranged, 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 27. When Jiang Chen came out of the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, the convoy of the Second Corps was already lined up at the door. Waiting for Wang Zhaowu to give the order to set off.
"Marshal." After seeing Jiang Chen, Wang Zhaowu gave a military salute.
"No need to be polite. Are you ready to leave for Camp 27 now?"
"Yes, our soldiers are ready." Wang Zhaowu said.
"Then take me for a ride by the way. I happen to be going there too," Jiang Chen said.
"Okay!" Wang Zhaowu nodded and immediately went to arrange a place for Jiang Chen.
About ten minutes passed, and the convoy of the First Corps finally completed loading supplies. As the base door opens. Under the watch of the survivors, the convoy began to slowly set off on the road.
Burnt corpses were everywhere along the way. Halfway through the convoy, Jiang Chen saw a mountain of meat kneeling in the middle of the road. Its face is ferocious, and its whole body is darker than that of a black man. Seeing that it was blocking the way of the convoy, the Raider infantry vehicle Jiang Chen was sitting on turned the top machine gun and fired a few rounds lightly. The black coal-like meat mountain shattered into carbon blocks like honeycomb briquettes.
After running over the "cinder", the convoy continued to move forward. The tragic scenes along the way are indeed a bit nauseating, but for the determined apocalypse people, it is just an ordinary sight.
Jiang Chen, who was sitting in the car, turned off the lens of the observation port, leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
After about an hour's drive, the team finally arrived at the gate of Camp 27. When setting up the land washing, the First Corps did not miss this blind spot, so at this moment, the entire Camp 27 was dark, looking like it was on fire. However, the materials on the surface have basically been moved underground, and it doesn't matter if the remaining cement is burned casually.
The door opened, and it was also a mess inside.
Zombies that smell the breath of the living will not let go of this place because of the evacuation of the Second Corps. A high wall of more than ten meters is just a matter of thousands and hundreds of zombie flesh 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 cleared away the charcoal ash piled at the entrance of the elevator.
"Fuck, the people from the First Corps are really ruthless." Wang Zhaowu got out of the car with Jiang Chen, grinning and couldn't help laughing and cursing.
"We have to be cruel, otherwise we will have to face a group of zombies climbing over the wall when we come back." Jiang Chen joked.
"That's true. But the engineers responsible for cleaning the battlefield are in trouble." 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 fixed weapons immediately. During the evacuation, the machine guns and electromagnetic guns on the wall were pulled back to the Fishbone Base, and now that they have been pulled back, they naturally need to be reinstalled.
At the same time, the current bird-like appearance in the camp is obviously uninhabitable unless it is cleaned up.
Without disturbing the work of the Second Corps, Jiang Chen walked directly towards the elevator of the shelter. (.)
