The blades on both sides of the train are only slightly higher than the platform, but they are about 1.55 meters above the ground.
When fully deployed, the steel knives spread back a little like wings, and there were about forty or fifty in a row. Let the train at this time look like a ferocious centipede, and instantly become full of evil and hideous.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "This ...... That's an exaggeration. With the speed of the train, and the sharp steel knives, I don't think any creature will be able to get close to the train from the side of the train. I said, Chaogui, did you come up with such a vicious idea? β
"Yes...... Oh, yes! Zhang Zhen couldn't help but feel a chill on his neck, and looked at Wu Chaogui with some fear and asked.
Wu Chaogui smiled and said: "This is the opinion of one of our team members, I think it is good, so I added it." What do you think? β
"I like it!" Chen Yuan couldn't stop nodding his head and said word by word.
Liu Jinlong was also pleasantly surprised by this design, but he also asked worriedly: "Will these blades touch things on the side of the railway when they are deployed, such as tunnel walls, telephone poles, etc.?" β
"Not really." Wu Chaogui explains: "Objects such as telephone poles and tunnel walls on railway lines are generally not too close to the train. And the length of these blades is only half a meter, so they can pass smoothly normally. And just in case, we also made a design that can be put away. If you really encounter a place that you can't get through, you can put the blade away and move forward. β
"That's good. I remember that there was no tunnel to go through from us to Shenwu City. This time, I will check whether the train can pass all the way with the blade deployed. Chen Yuan said affirmatively: "In short, this design is great, which greatly improves the safety of the train." The player who proposes the proposal can be rewarded. β

That night, when I went to Shenwu City to exchange the weapons needed for the armored personnel carrier, I had already begun to load the vehicle overnight. On the second day after the armored train completed the transformation, Chen Yuan and the others set off for Shenwu City in advance.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the train slowly drove out of the Hada Town Railway Station with a long train whistle.
The personnel who accompanied the car to the Shenwuguan settlement included Chen Yuan, Wei Chen, Wang Tieshan, Du Ruhai and Qin Mengyao, commanders of the fourth battalion, the fourth battalion of the field infantry of the Self-Rescue Army, a guard platoon, a sniper squad, a special operations squad, a half-corpse reconnaissance squad, some railway repair personnel, train conductors, turrets, anti-aircraft fire tower operators, and other logistics personnel. There are more than 900 people in total.
The reason why Qin Mengyao was also in the car was to send some follow-up materials back to Shenwu City, and secondly, he originally planned to go back after a few days of inspection in the Iron Castle, but he didn't expect to be stationed for a long time, so he didn't bring a lot of luggage. This time I went back to get some more personal luggage. Anyway, with the train, the transportation is also convenient.
"Captain, this train is amazing! It's the first time I've seen such a domineering and comfortable train. The room was super luxurious too! Hehe, I didn't expect that I would be able to take such a train one day. Great! β
Du Ruhai received an order last night to bring his troops to the train station early in the morning. The first time I saw this armored train, I was as shocked as the soldiers. Until this time, sitting in the living room of car No. 12, I was still excited. It was more exaggerated than the first time he entered the city.
Wang Tieshan is almost the same, sitting on the sofa and constantly touching here and there. echoed: "Hehe, yes, yes, it's too luxurious!" My ancestors have probably never taken such a luxurious train for eight generations. β
In the past, he was a blacksmith, and he had only seen such a luxurious thing on TV. Fortunately, after joining the settlement, his life has been much better than before, and his vision has also improved. Otherwise, with him in the past, it is estimated that he would have begun to feel awkward when he suddenly entered such a luxurious place.
"Hehe, Lao Du, Lao Wang." Wei Chen said with a smile: "This time I can see the world." Let me tell you, follow our Steel Castle, and there will be such surprises and novelties in the future. So you have to stay calm and calm. Do you understand? The whole is like you, and you must not be overly excited! β
The living room of the No. 12 special carriage is also a conference room, and Chen Yuan and the others are gathering here to chat and study the route of the railway.
"Hehe, I'm not happy." Du Ruhai smiled innocently. But if you think this guy is really naΓ―ve and innocent, then you're going to be unlucky. In the previous life, how simple could the people who could lead the survivors to build one of the few giant cities in the world from scratch?
But Chen Yuan dismantled Wei Chen's platform and said disdainfully: "Cut, weren't you as excited when you saw the train yesterday." β
"Castle Chief, you don't bring this, I'll teach newcomers, can you save me some face."
Qin Mengyao touched Daha's supple hair, and said to everyone with a smile: "This train is really good, and it is estimated that only the secret special train of the past chief can compare with this train in China." β
"How?" Chen Yuan asked curiously: "There are still armored trains in China?" β
Qin Mengyao nodded and said, "Yes, I've also been there." It's in a secret base under the northern capital. It's just that it hasn't been used in recent decades. It is not needed at all in peacetime, and it is too conspicuous. It is said that such armored trains were manufactured in many countries during World War II and for some time after World War II. Our country was built during the Cold War, and it has been many years now. β
"Oh!" Chen Yuan couldn't help nodding, looking very moved.
He was thinking about whether to film a half-corpse reconnaissance team to sneak into the Northern Capital and drive the armored train out.
But then I thought about it, and I forgot it. Although it is easy for the half-corpse team to infiltrate the northern capital, it is almost impossible to drive the armored train out surrounded by tens of millions of zombies.
"Castle Chief, you said it would take us a few days to get to the Shenwuguan Settlement this time?" Wei Chen asked.
Chen Yuan thought about it, and said uncertainly: "It should be about three days." The first time the road is not familiar, the train will run a little slower, and the speed will be controlled at about 80 kilometers per hour. And I don't know what to expect on the road, whether it's clearing the obstacles or repairing the railway, it may be a little delayed. However, if this trip goes well, the journey back will be faster, and it is expected to take only 14 hours. β
"14 hours." Wei Chen smacked his lips and said with a smile: "That really saves a lot of time." β

After the train leaves the Hatta Town Railway Station, it heads south. The long train sped through the vast and white plains, and it seemed so lonely. And where the front of the car passed, bursts of crystal snowflakes were raised, as if moving forward in the clouds and mist, breaking through the clouds and breaking out of the general vision.
If there are still lovers of photographic art, such a train will definitely become the most popular photographic object. But apparently, no one is venturing out just for photography at this time. Such a beautiful scenery is only possible for people like Chen Yuan and others to sit in the car and enjoy part of it alone.
Twenty minutes after departure, the train finally arrived in Nenjiang County, the first city it had to pass through.
