Chapter 5: Humanity is Progressing

"It's not D.C.'s biggest plant."

"It's only medium-sized, and we've built 57 factories like this in a month."

"Bigger factories than here are inland. Every day, they remove war machinery from the shelves and are shipped to various parts of the country. ”

"We combined the energy system of the Void Race, and analyzed their system ...... of electronic control, firepower, propulsion, etc."

The group left by helicopter from the base, not from Washington State, but to a nearby industrial base.

Since it was night, it was not clear that the old factory was rebuilt or built from scratch, but it was a huge area of the factory.

They were led to a workshop.

Inside the workshop is a full set of intelligent production lines, and they happened to start from scratch and visited the entire production process of a spider-style self-propelled cannon.

The so-called spider self-propelled cannon refers to the fact that the chassis is no longer a crawler type, but a mobile system with six mechanical legs as the chassis, carrying a flat fuselage. It has a more obvious main gun and a secondary gun, as well as some built-in missile launchers and machine guns.

"Borrowing from the Void's large vehicle appearance, but our 'Katibo' far outperforms them in terms of firepower."

Katibo is of course the name of a spider, and the female Katibo is extremely venomous, but shy and extremely sensitive.

"You've seen it. It is 4.1 yards long and 2.7 yards wide, with a minimum of 2.4 yards and a height of 6.6 yards. It is much smaller than the main battle tank and only slightly larger than an armored vehicle. ”

The length calculation unit used by the Americans is yards, which is 3.8 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, with a minimum of 2.2 meters and a maximum of 6 meters.

"The most important thing is that they can fly!"

"The maneuverability is better than that of the AH-64 (Apache), and the new technology combined with the Void Energy Technology allows for longer working hours!"

The people who visited the whole manufacturing process just now saw the process of installing the propeller, and immediately listened to the explanation.

No one asks why it's not jet propulsion, the knowledgeable know that the establishment concept represents an adaptive tactic, and the ignorant don't even have questions.

"We named its official service model the A1 type. There is also the smaller B3 type, the only difference is that the main gun is not housed. ”

"The main cannon is also borrowed from the technology of the Void Clan. Looking at its appearance, is it different from the traditional gun barrel? ”

Everyone's attention was attracted to the past, the main cannon of "Latibo" is indeed not a traditional barrel type, it is a hollow ear state, and it looks like it is not firing a physical cannonball, it should be an energy weapon.

"This factory removes 500 units of A1 'Katibo' every day!"

"We're not just producing this type of vehicle!"

"The efforts we have put in and the results we have achieved are far beyond your imagination!"

There were already cheers and cheers for how strong USA was.

"Captain." Peters asked curiously, "Are they all producing new weapons?" Are our original weapons not enough to deal with the next war? ”

What I was explaining to them just now was a captain of this military factory, whose name was Bell. Dales. Apparently aware of who Peters was, he replied, "We don't know what kind of enemy we're going to face next, wouldn't it be nice to be able to use more advanced and powerful weapons?" ”

Of course, human weapons are not useless, but we have to admit that some weapons do seem to be a little behind, especially in terms of energy systems.

"Now we are in an awkward situation." Dales smiled bitterly and said: "We once thought that stealth technology would master the battlefield of the future, and we spent too much energy and money on stealth technology. Now we have to think about whether stealth is effective for aliens. ”

Admittedly, a lot of technology in the United States is leading the way, but that's relative to the internal forces of the planet.

Now that the world is changing dramatically, and there are invaders from space or stranger places at any time, no one can be sure what route should be taken, and the development route is facing new explorations.

"Until everything is known, it would be a good choice to pursue quantity and firepower." Dales looked at the crowd and smiled, "I'm only in charge of this factory, but I know something else. The technologies that we are proud of are also being completely updated, and they will not be abandoned. ”

Melly from the Cleveland Consortium. Eaton, she said meaningfully, "We have 13 of the 57 new factories that have been put into production. ”

Dales just glanced at Eaton without saying anything.

"Times are changing, and seizing opportunities is equivalent to seizing the future." Eaton looked around at everyone, especially on Lin Bin and Peters: "Only smart people can go further." ”

The group stayed at the factory for less than two hours before leaving by car.

"That 'Katibo' A1 looks more powerful than the Void's large vehicles. One factory produces 500 units a day, and 100 factories produce 50,000 units a day. Julia took a breath of cold air and exclaimed, "Is this to arm all of humanity?" ”

"Don't be stupid." Peters said with some heartlessness: "Not everyone can be a fighter. ”

Lin Bin, Maggie and Peters, Julia, in addition to the driver, there are three other people who are not so familiar with each other are in the same car.

There are nearly fifty armed armored vehicles in their convoy, and I heard that the energy system has been replaced with energy products borrowed from the Void Clan, that is, ordinary water is used, no longer gasoline or the like.

The huge convoy was heading towards the city, and according to the tour leader's introduction, it was going to be taken into the city, probably to see the scene after the invasion?

It took about an hour and ten minutes before the convoy paused a little at a certain level, and then the number of people around it began to increase.

As a city on the coast, the District of Columbia (D.C.) is also the center of justice, and when the Void invaded, they invested far more troops than Los Angeles.

If Los Angeles can still have intact urban areas after the invasion, even if it is a mushroom bomb, then there is no so-called intact urban area on the D.C side.

They got out of the car, and there were enough lights in the night that the whole city seemed to be wiped out at a glance, unless it was a building that had been rebuilt after the end of the Great Fall, or there was not a single building that could survive the war.

In the war-torn city, you can see the ruins everywhere, and some areas still have obvious traces of burning.

It may be that the exchange of fire is extremely intense, and the ground is full of potholes, which are obviously blasted out by high-powered weapons.

I don't know if it's because the people are too slow to clean up, or what's the situation, you can still see human destroyed tanks, armored vehicles, jets, helicopters and other war vehicles everywhere, but the things that are invaders are cleaned up.

They were led to some cleared squares, where they saw one body bag after another.

I heard that the bodies found earlier had been transported away in batches, and those that were parked in place had just been found from the ruins. ID checks will be carried out, waiting for someone to claim it or bury it in a unified manner.

If Unit "X" wanted them to see the misery of the war and provoke their anger, it can be said that it was done for many people.

"What's going on over there?"

"Which side?"

"Those who are in line."

"I guess I'm receiving relief."

Soon someone came to explain the situation, and the queue was not to receive handouts, but to sign up for the army.

It's 10:21 p.m., and looking at the number of people who signed up for the army on the spot, there should be about 5,000 people.

There were media working at the scene to record the registration, and they found that a special group of people came over, hula and surrounded them.

"Arnold. Wait a minute, you speak to them, do you have any questions? ”

"Me? No problem! ”
