Hundreds of meters in the sky, the NAC flag fluttered.
The sky turned white, and the brilliance of the morning light illuminated the side of the steel behemoth.
[Order number]
These three large white-painted characters were firmly engraved on the shiny steel.
It was a giant beast that conquered the sky. The steel chimney on its back breathed out white mist, and the super-long barrel on its belly pointed straight ahead ferociously!
Named "Order Hammer", this is an electromagnetic gun specially developed for this Order. It can launch mass projectiles up to level 1, the shooting depression angle can reach up to -70°, and the suppression radius can reach a terrifying 350 kilometers!
As the ultra-long-range main battle weapon of Order!
There is a honeycomb-shaped "Fireball-1" launcher suspended from the bottom, which can pour 200 rockets in one minute, devastatingly suppressing long-distance ground targets and making your own logistics cry. Four 12.76mm anti-aircraft machine guns make up for the airship's shortcomings in close defense. Two laser anti-missile devices can accurately intercept most soil-guided missiles.
The above is all the weapons of Order.
Due to many factors such as its large size, poor maneuverability, and lack of cover in the air, Order can only provide limited fire support to ground units far away from the battlefield. But compared to fire support, the battlefield positioning of this steel behemoth is long-distance transportation, air aircraft carrier, and helping the army to deploy quickly.
In this land full of dangers, there is no unit more suitable for long-distance travel than this kind of unit that flies above the clouds.
Powered armor, mechanical exoskeletons, rifles, rocket launchers, ammunition…
Batches of war equipment were pulled up on the belly of the giant beast by slings to complete preparations for war.
In order to save space, the only supplies on the airship are liquid food. These nutritional mixtures are produced on Anga Island. Both in terms of nutrition and taste, they are far superior to those made from "zombie juice" and mutant fruits in the Sixth District.
"Be careful! What you have is an incendiary bomb! If it breaks, I guarantee you won't even be able to fish out the dregs!" The supervisor wearing an officer's hat stood beside the elevator and shouted, commanding several slaves. Attach the rocket rack to the sling and secure it, then press the bell.
Along with the faint sound of electricity, the sling was pulled onto the airship.
Standing on the observation tower of Camp 27, looking at the scene under the airship from a distance. Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Why not use robots?"
Standing next to Jiang Chen was Wang Zhaowu. Hearing the marshal's question, he immediately answered.
"In Wang Qing's words... In order to avoid trouble, we have to find some work for these slaves."
Jiang Chen nodded.
makes sense.
It's just that compared to the rapid development over there in the present world, there is a lot of high technology here in the apocalypse, but it cannot be realized into production capacity. From those who use their muscles to move supplies. It's hard to even give people the feeling that this is the 22nd century.
For example, with the continuous infusion of resources from Mindanao and New Matteo, the robot assembly factory on Anga Island can produce 500,000 robots in a month. Although the technological content of these housekeeping robots is "not very high", compared with the fake and real service robots in the Sixth Street, they can even be said to be just toys with a "single function".
However, if the factory in Block 6 were to produce these robots, it would be impossible to achieve the terrifying output of 500,000 units.
The same goes for the Phantom Helmet.
If we don’t use 3D printing technology regardless of the cost, we can produce 1 million units in a month, but the actual production capacity there is 20 times that of here!
But similarly, T-series power armor and K1-type mechanical exoskeleton cannot be produced with today's technology. The production capacity here in Doomsday is low, but the production process and production technology are incredibly high.
"How are you preparing for the expedition?" Jiang Chen asked.
"You can leave at any time." Wang Zhaowu stood at attention and said.
Jiang Chen nodded again.
He is very satisfied with Wang Zhaowu's work. He was also quite relieved about this expedition.
Since the beginning of this year, the NAC has conducted a spring recruitment, and the original establishment of each corps has been expanded from 2,000 to 5,000. The entire NAC's military strength has expanded to 15,000, becoming a strength that cannot be underestimated in the entire Asia region.
After returning this time, he made some adjustments to the deployment of the three major corps.
From the Sixth Street District to Shenxiang Town, the defense of the entire Wanghai City area is unified by the First Corps led by Cheng Weiguo. Cheng Weiguo was one of the earliest survivors who followed him, from the position of militia training at the Fish Bone Base to the current corps commander.
Jiang Chen was relieved to leave his hometown to him to garrison.
The Third Corps is led by Zhao Gang, a survivor who followed Jiang Chen in his early years. He doesn't talk much. Jiang Chen was kind to him because he valued friendship and loyalty. He had been loyal to him since he followed Jiang Chen. After this adjustment, he was stationed in Jia City. Guard the gateway to the southwest of Wanghai City and protect the important trade routes south of Dianshan Lake.
The Second Corps was responsible for this expedition.
Although the net load of 500 tons is not small, the transport capacity required for each soldier is close to 200 kilograms. This includes the equipment, ammunition, supplies, etc. that a soldier needs to fight, and is not just as simple as a person's weight.
In order to maximize its combat capabilities, this giant airship is equipped with only 400 combat personnel. 50 flight attendants and 20 support staff. At the same time, the steel airship will be supplied by unarmed small airbag airships.
All the soldiers selected to participate in the expedition are the elite of the Third Corps. They had participated in the breakout of the insect wave, rescued the Fishbone Base, and counterattacked the city center. They were out-and-out veterans. Armed to the teeth with mechanical exoskeletons, they are impeccable both in terms of equipment and fighting will.
Jiang Chen personally serves as the captain, and Wang Zhaowu serves as the deputy captain.
After the expedition is over, the next captain and deputy captain will be selected based on military merit. At the same time, the airship will be retained as a separate combat unit from now on, independent of the three major corps like the Hunter Corps.
Looking at the rising morning light and the airship being prepared, Jiang Chen squinted his eyes, letting the feeling in his chest surge, and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Please ask the marshal to review the soldiers." Wang Zhaowu nodded.
Jiang Chen nodded for the third time.
Turning around, I faced the uniform military uniforms in the square of Camp No. 27, as well as the raised heads...
He closed his eyes gently and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
Let the surging blood in his chest be released with the roar.
"Gentlemen!"
"I love war!"
There were no unnecessary words, no impassioned declarations, the prelude to the expedition was simply and violently opened.
Bring civilization to those ruins!
Bring the yoke of order to the barbarians there!
Use the guns in your hands to plant the NAC flag into the hinterland of the wasteland!
And what responded to Jiang Chen was the same earth-shaking shouts and the raised rifle!
"war!"(.)
