Chapter 409: Industrial Base

The practice of the cleaners and the gray men is no longer in the category of seeing death and not saving, they are still in a situation of destruction by humanity, but they still refuse to take out the vaccines they have in their hands to save humanity.

The Great Snake People had conducted experiments before releasing the virus on a large scale, which gave humans a little time to react, and the cleaners, or the Gray Men must have gotten the virus samples as soon as possible, and quickly used the Holy Ark to develop a vaccine.

Because if the cleaners only had a vaccine after the snake people released the virus around the world, they wouldn't have had time to vaccinate their own people.

Gao Yuan's perception of these captives was immediately extremely bad.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little dignified, because the vaccine that can be 100% immune to the zombie virus is of great significance to human beings.

First of all, humans have access to time.

Gao Yuan didn't know how the Ark worked, but he knew that as long as it was a vaccine, it could be replicated, so as long as the cleaner took out a vaccine sample, humans could replicate the vaccine on a large scale, and in this case, the alien attack would lose its power.

Obviously he has the greatest capital of human beings fighting aliens, but the cleaner refuses to take it out because of his own selfishness, before Gao Yuan knew that the purpose of his trip was to seize the Holy Ark, but he has never been able to intuitively realize the value of the Holy Ark.

But now, Gao Yuan really understands that the vaccine is 100% effective, and with this, the holy ark must be in the hands of the Zhengfu, who is responsible for all mankind.

Soult stabbed the knife one more point, and then he couldn't help but twist the blade slightly, and said sharply: "Say!" Where is your holy ark? Where is it! ”

Soult also knew about the Ark, which was not surprising, because since Knight had a close relationship with the Ram and the Poseidon, of course he knew about these things.

François exclaimed, "Stop! Stop it! How could I possibly know where the ark is! I do not know! ”

In fact, Gao Yuan knew where the holy ark was.

"Ask him, what do they produce at their factory in Malakal?"

Now this is a concern for Gao Yuan, because there is hardly any industry here, and there is no infrastructure, and the cleaners come to this remote place, if only to survive longer, then they obviously have no need to build factories.

"Say, what's produced here!"

Sirte asked angrily, François breathed a few sighs of relief, and said: "Cannons, tanks, some weapons, I don't know what they are, but there must be a very rudimentary factory, they originally started to produce simple tanks, but now the production of tanks is suspended, because there are many tanks, so now they mainly produce consumables such as shells and bullets." ”

Cannons, tanks, bullets, shells, is this something that anyone can produce if they want to?

The answer, of course, is impossible, guns are okay, but there are few countries in the world that can produce cannons, and to produce cannons, you have to be an industrial country, at least, you have to have industrial capacity.

A cannon seems to have no technical content, but this kind of weapon, which is not a high-tech weapon, tests a country's industrial base in all aspects.

Starting from the most basic, the cannon is made of steel, so whether to mine the iron ore, and then refine the iron ore into steel, and then smelt from the steel into qualified cannon steel to meet the needs, and then pull the cannon steel into a long rod, and then drill holes from the long rod to make a cannon barrel, when the main core component of the cannon barrel can be built, other supporting facilities have the meaning of production.

It is just a cannon, which tests the three foundations of iron ore mining, smelting, and mechanical processing.

Gao Yuan knew that the cleaners had a complete production line, but it was only a production line, and if a production line could be relocated to one place as a whole to produce qualified cannons and qualified shells, what else would the industrial base do.

It is certainly not enough to have a production line alone, so the cleaners have a basic industrial capacity to be established in the grasslands of the Malakal region, and to this extent, it is far from a problem that money can solve.

Gao Yuan said very worriedly: "Ask how they did it, what factories are here?" ”

François spread his hands and said: "There are steel mills, chemical factories, mechanical processing plants, precision mechanical processing factories in Malacal, everything from fraud to fuses can be done here, this is a large arsenal complex, and now they can produce two kinds of artillery shells, one rifle cartridge, and ...... The grenade, the level of technology is at the level of the end of World War II to the beginning of the Cold War, the bullet is an M43 intermediate bullet, the tank is a simplified version of the T55, the turret is cast, but I can't get into the factory, so I don't know how strong the production capacity is, but I think it should be no problem to produce a few dozen units a month. ”

When François finished speaking, he realized that as long as he was talking, and what he said was meaningful, then he would not be abused for the time being, so he continued: "But now the arsenal here does not actually need to produce too many weapons and ammunition, in fact, the existence of the tank factory is somewhat embarrassing, because our tanks are not ...... at all It's not ......"

"It's nothing!"

"It's not a match for Solar System, they have a lot of anti-tank missiles, and bazookas, so tanks don't play their supposed role, and we have too many tanks and armored vehicles now, but there is a serious shortage of drivers."

Gao Yuan and Li Jingang glanced at each other, but Soule nodded and said, "You have a lot of tanks?" ”

François smiled bitterly: "Yes, we captured more than three thousand tanks from Edge, more than three thousand!" Up to now, as long as we need it, there is a steady stream of tanks that can be transported from Eji to where it is needed, and now there are 800 T55 tanks here, of which 600 are sent from Eji, why are they all T55s, because there will be absolutely no shortage of shells. ”

Soult gasped lightly and said, "Why do you know so clearly?" ”

"Because a large number of tanks that lack tank crews are placed in the city, and there are endless cannons, but there are about 500 artillery pieces here, all of them are 122 mm and 152 mm calibers, why are they all of these two calibers, because you can make shells here, and you can't finish shells."

After François finished speaking, he thought for a moment and continued: "Do you know how many troops Egie has? Do you know how much equipment they have, it's all up to us now, because the aliens are coming, the Eji people can't resist, their cities and populations are all concentrated in the Nile Delta, as soon as the virus breaks out, everyone is gone, there is no way to resist at all, a large number of tanks and artillery are thrown there, we just need to move and use it, why do I know this, because I participated in the battle against Eji, so I know very well. ”

After listening to François, Li Jingang sighed lightly: "I know why the rams use sparrow warfare against the cleaners, because once the cleaners are assembled, it is impossible for them to resist." ”
