Chapter 138: Helicopter Improvements
It's a busy scene inside the base.
So far, not counting the women placed in the "shelter", the population of the base has approached one hundred and fifty, and these people are the backbone of the future fishbone base. Once the walls of the new site have been built and two more apartment buildings have been built, it will be time to start thinking about recruiting outsiders.
The construction side is still in charge of Lu Huasheng. I have to say that this former designer of Huajian Real Estate Development does have a hand. Jiang Chen gave him the opportunity to show his strength, and he did make achievements and planned this base in a good way.
This kind of diligent and honest person is suitable for entrusting this kind of infrastructure task that cannot tolerate sloppiness. Jiang Chen still has some vision for people, and this Lu Huasheng has indeed lived up to his expectations, personally leading the construction team to work the construction site every day, building the wall of the new development area with 120% efficiency.
A person with a strong sense of mission and a high loyalty like Cheng Weiguo was arranged by Jiang Chen to serve as the head of the militia regiment, responsible for the defense of the base and the training of soldiers.
As for Zhou Guoping's sleek and good sycophants, he was naturally arranged by Jiang Chen in the sixth block. On the one hand, it was because he had done things to collect intelligence, and on the other hand, it was because he and Chu Nan had some problems with each other. Although it may not be his Zhou Guoping's pot, how to say that he is also the "goddess" of Chu Nan.
And it seems that in front of him, many times.
For the sake of internal harmony, it is a good choice to place the two people far away from each other.
Walking past the community center, Jiang Chen went straight to the edge of a tin house, which was a temporary hangar, mainly used to park the recovered Yunzhi-51
Walking into the hangar, Jiang Chen found Chu Nan, who was repairing the helicopter.
Although the virtual reality training cabin in the base is equipped with training tutorials for general-purpose weapons, it is also possible to install learning software on general-purpose technologies copied from the city library. However, if a military vehicle like the Yunzhi-51 was classified before the war, it was naturally impossible for it to appear in this kind of equipment used to train militias.
In other words, at present, the only one in the base who can repair and use this Yunzhi-51 is Chu Nan alone.
"How's the situation?" Jiang Chen walked up to him. Asked casually.
"It sucks. Chu Nan didn't look back, just raised his arm and wiped a handful of sweat, continued to fiddle with the messy wires, and grinned.
"Is it well repaired?" glancing at the sci-fi helicopter. Jiang Chen reached out and touched the ring-shaped flanks. He didn't see where the helicopter's rotors were, but intuitively, the helicopter's levitation power was provided by the ring.
Fusiform fuselage with open hatches in the rear. The lettering of the Yunzhi-51 and the PAC symbol have been worn out, and the steel frame of the nose has been dented into it. The bulletproof glass was shattered clean. It did look a bit miserable like this, and Jiang Chen was even a little skeptical about whether this thing would have a chance to fly again.
"It should be fixed. The damage to the shell is nothing, just replace it with steel, the key is the electronic components inside the aircraft. Damn, the engine control system burned out entirely. Can you believe it? On the edge of the city center, we encountered a monster that could put EMP in its mouth. Chu Nan scolded and pulled out a palm-sized box from the side of the fuselage, connected the wire of Guolu to the computer on the side, and knocked down a few parameters with a snap.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression became strange. Because of the kind of monster that can use EMP, it seems that he also encountered it some time ago.
"Are xenomorphs who can use EMP rare?"
Chu Nan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Chen unexpectedly.
"Is it common for xenomorphs to use EMP?"
Jiang Chen was stunned.
Speaking of which. Although he knew that this Chu Nan was displaced in this area because the mission crashed, he never asked him about the details of that mission.
"The mission is to clear out the extremely mutated creatures and then recover the subcrystals. We sent two helicopters, as well as a squad of 12 power armored soldiers. Once at my destination, I hovered the helicopter over the yellow-green floats. Immediately afterwards, our captain called for artillery support. ”
"The shelling exposed the body, the airborne troops parachuted, killed, and recovered the subcrystals. It's all a routine. It's not my first time on a mission, either. ”
"A very beautiful blow, the electromagnetic cannon fired from the town of Liuding hit the building directly, and the cement block collapsed backwards like an avalanche. But just when we thought we were done, we just needed to go down and retrieve the subcrystals and go back. "Speaking of which. Chu Nan paused, smiled mysteriously, and continued.
"The half-building-tall flesh-red barrel shot a crimson beam into the sky, and it didn't hit anything, but the two helicopters were paralyzed in an instant. ”
"Then the monster seems to have blown up. The guy who thought about the Airborne Forces should have succeeded. But who knows?" Chu Nan shrugged his shoulders and stuffed a piece of processor into the fuselage.
"Liuding didn't send someone to save you?"
"No way. Chu Nan pursed his lips, "For Liu Ding Town, pilots are things that can be mass-produced. The only thing of value was the lump, but the crash site was still too far from the port, and I flew almost half the city. ”
Jiang Chen fell silent.
At this point, he suddenly remembered the AI description of the bug that had invaded the shelter when he was in the underground shelter.
[Hehe, don't say it can't be stopped, even if it misses, your iron pimple will have to turn into an iron coffin]
"Crainn particles?" Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
"What's that?" Chu Nan asked confusedly.
"Nothing. After asking Lin Ling about the Crainn particles, Jiang Chen chose to bypass the topic, "By the way, when the helicopter is repaired, you can see if you can make some improvements on this thing." ”
"Improvements?"
"Hmm. For example, add a .50 caliber machine gun to the side, and then weld a gun or something. "Unlike Liuding Town, the Fish Bone Base is based on land, and there is no need for long-range combat. The conversion of this Yunzhi-51 into an aerial gunboat is more in line with the operational needs of the fish bone base.
"Do you think a helicopter is a truck or something? If you want to weld a machine gun or something on it, just take the electric welding and poke it twice?" Chu Nan couldn't help but complain.
"Is there any problem?" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked with a frown.
"It's a big problem," Chu Nan shook his head, ripped the thread off the computer, picked up the screwdriver again, and fiddled with the parts in the fuselage, "Balance is a big problem, and random modifications may cause the helicopter to not be able to fly at all, or fly to a certain height and roll over directly." ”
"Then it's not 'just a random modification'. Jiang Chen smiled and patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, "I'll leave this trouble to you, an expert." Anyway, I need you to add some weapons to this helicopter, the more firepower the better. ”
Hearing Ru Xing's commission, Chu Nan couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed helplessly.
"I try. Weld the machine gun on the side of the fuselage, and then design a new fire control system As for the gun or something, it should be no problem to install it in the rear hatch, just arrange a gunner to operate it manually. But if you change it like this, this luck will become a martial arts, okay?"
Regarding Chu Nan's complaints, Jiang Chen just smiled.
"Just what I wanted. ”-
