Chapter 362: Escort Mission
As soon as the heavy field vehicle moved, the picture in the window of the car suddenly changed. Wu Qi and his entourage were already sitting on the two rows of fixed seats on the left and right, watching Ye Zheng operate the complex operation table.
The acceleration of this vehicle is completely beyond everyone's expectations, and it looks like a heavy truck, but it is not as bulky as a heavy truck, but it feels like it is "slippery" under the tires, and it is by no means an easy type of vehicle.
However, in Ye Zheng's hands, this heavy battlefield vehicle seemed to be tamed and would never run crooked, the car suddenly turned around, drove out of the parking lot at a very fast speed, and then moved towards the wall on the east side of the base, maintaining a speed of 180 kilometers per hour along the way, crossing the avenue, passing through the plantation, and rapidly closing the distance from the high wall.
When passing through the high wall, Ye Zheng only controlled the heavy battlefield vehicle to slow down, and then through a beam of blue light released from the front of the vehicle and the high wall docking information, a huge door for the heavy battlefield vehicle to drive automatically opened at the bottom of the wall.
This was the first time that Wu Qi and the others had left the base after entering the Dawn Base. Looking at the familiar wasteland, Wu Qi seemed to understand the significance of this heavy battlefield vehicle becoming the standard equipment of the army at the Dawn Base.
The heavy field vehicle is a super vehicle designed to prevent the plague beast tide and various unexpected weather conditions on the wasteland, with high safety, suitable for long-distance travel, and can transport ore and other resources; The acceleration is extremely high, and it can escape from the pursuit of the plague species in time, and at the same time of the super-large mass and volume of the body, it inevitably sacrifices the stability of the operation, and this weakened stability requires the driver to make up for it by his own skill.
This is a traffic vehicle specially adapted to the occupied area, and there is nothing to say about the performance and value of the good. It would be great if they could get a license to drive a heavy field vehicle as soldiers, or if Gu Chang learned how to build, maintain, and operate a heavy field vehicle in a factory.
"Instructor Ye, how can I get the qualification to drive a heavy field vehicle?" Wu Qi asked loudly.
"The young man has a very vicious eye. Each heavy field vehicle is made by the base at the expense of valuable resources, and is an important asset, and it will not be easily granted the right to drive by a soldier, and if you want to reach it, you must at least become a special soldier. Ye Zheng looked ahead, his hands made precise movements on the console, and said while driving.
"Special Soldier......" Wu Qi said silently. There is indeed a rule in the Dawn Base, and Zhang Ji'an also said that the higher the position, the greater the power. The power is invisible to the recruits, and they can't be known until they reach that level.
Xu is Wu Qi's question made Ye Zheng a little more interested in speaking, he originally planned to mention it later, but now he said: "The mission site we are about to arrive, the No. 130 mining area, is the mining area that produces 'Gauss stone'. 'Gaussian stone' is a rare ore that has very high requirements for mutated microorganisms in the environment, and is an ore that will only be produced by mutation under rare circumstances. Its properties are very suitable for high-tech materials, and mixing with existing known ores can produce various changes in tendency. The composite metal material used to make heavy field vehicles must be mixed with a certain percentage of Gaussian stone to be melted. ”
"It is precisely because Gaussian stone plays a pivotal role in the production of raw materials, the scarce quantity and the extremely wide consumption channels that the production of heavy battlefield vehicles is very limited, understand?"
"Understood, thank you Instructor Ye for your doubts." Wu Qi thanked.
"You are now fully aware of the importance of the 130th mining area, for the development and survival of the Dawn Base, the Gauss Stone Mining Area soldiers must be fully guarded, there will be no option to retreat after mission failure, you must be mentally prepared."
Ye Zheng didn't say much, but Wu Qi and the others could see the importance of this task from the limited information he revealed, and probably someone would sacrifice in the worst-case scenario.
The group's expressions gradually became grim, and it seemed that the duties of the escort were not as "safe and rewarding" as they had originally analyzed. Guards guard important areas, and sometimes, they have to fight with all their strength and lives to protect them.
The 50-kilometer journey was quickly completed under the tires of heavy field vehicles, and at the end of the wasteland a mountain range stretched to the northeast. The mountain structure of the mountain range is quite special, there is a steep canyon at the entrance, the height difference between the valley floor and the valley peak is about 50 meters, the canyon rock wall is crisscrossed by rocks, and the valley peak is a mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest arranged in the ridge of the mountain range.
The road at the bottom of the canyon is uneven and littered with fine gravel, but the heavy field vehicle's giant tires minimize the impact of gravel. Driving deeper into the mountain from the canyon to more than 600 meters, Wu Qi and others finally saw the mining area.
It was the first time they had seen an artificially mined area, and there were seven or eight pieces of heavy mining equipment everywhere. If Gu Chang was here, he might be able to answer the question of the functions and performance of these heavy equipment, and maybe even Gu Chang didn't know the expertise in mining.
The mining workers are the producers, and Wu Qi and his party escort the soldiers in the mining area, and the two groups of people have different division of labor, so there is no need to understand each other's work in depth. Ye Zheng got out of the car and walked straight to the person in charge of the mining area, and after a short exchange between the two sides, Ye Zheng and the person in charge walked in front of Wu Qi and his party.
"This is Li Fushan, the general manager of the No. 130 mining area, a special producer, and you are all under his control during the seven-day mission period. He is your immediate superior, and you must obey the orders he has given. Ye Zheng said seriously and seriously.
Li Fushan is a middle-aged man with a little fat and a low hairline, he is a head shorter than Ye Zheng and wears a dark green producer's uniform.
When they met for the first time, Li Fushan smiled at Wu Qi and other recruits, and he said: "Hello, you will stay here for the next 7 days to complete the escort task and make every effort to protect the safety of the mining area." Now it is completely safe here, but when the mining machines are in operation, they attract plagues from the mountains and forests, from the valleys, and at night. We've got a 15-man escort here, and you're just 20 of them. Let's work together. ”
"Yes."
After Ye Zheng handed over Wu Qi and others to Li Fushan, he drove a heavy battlefield vehicle out of the mining area, and before leaving, he said that he would come back to pick them up in seven days.
"Let's go meet the other 15 people first." Wu Qi said lightly, and then led Gao Yuan, Guo Baibai, Krees, and July, and turned around and walked to the outside of the mining area, where the guards lived.
