Chapter 265: Big Ore Vein

Moving slowly, toward the coordinates of the settlement that had been recorded earlier.

The second-generation reconnaissance airship has been out of the scope of the reconnaissance airship, and its design concept is somewhat similar to that of an aircraft carrier, but the reconnaissance airship is more deserving than an aircraft carrier. The huge body of the child is far from being comparable to the first-generation reconnaissance airship, and it has almost reached the same huge body as a military airship.

Its airbag shape is also detached from the narrow cigar shape of an ordinary airship, but adopts a flat shape, which looks like a narrow flying saucer from a distance.

It's not that the airship factory is a spoof, but a shape that's been finalized according to its needs. The flying saucer shape can increase the construction area of the pod, so that the pod can be built more flat. Because this is a reconnaissance airship carrying three unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the entire pod has been converted into a small runway that allows unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to land and take off.

In this way, the reconnaissance airship can act as a temporary information processing center, and the reconnaissance range can be too wide.

In other words, it is a mobile reconnaissance platform, which can collect more and farther intelligence, and the efficiency is even more sensitive.

The designer of the Zimu reconnaissance airship, many people could not have imagined that the slaughter of the Xi1 is airship department was moving slowly, moving towards the coordinates of the settlement recorded in the early days.

In this way, the reconnaissance airship can act as a temporary information processing center, and the reconnaissance range can be too wide.

In other words, it is a mobile reconnaissance platform, which can collect more and farther intelligence, and the efficiency is even more sensitive.

The designer of the Zimu reconnaissance airship, many people can't imagine that Xi 1 is the dragon slayer of the airship department.

In fact, this design is just a small design evolved from the strategic-class airship that he is about to complete, in order to give the Chamber of Commerce a preventive shot. As long as the design of the reconnaissance airship is passed and manufactured, after that...... Dragon Slayer is already laughing evilly, the Chamber of Commerce with mental preparation should be much more lenient in the review of the approval of its own strategic-level airship, right?

Of course, the people in the airship factory would not have thought of the secret intentions of Dragon Slayer, especially after Xu Yuhai knew about this kind of reconnaissance airship, he insisted on grinding Zhou Yuanqiang to approve the construction.

Indeed, the performance of this kind of reconnaissance airship is very good, and it uses a large number of various reconnaissance technologies, and it is also equipped with the function of relay communication, and the combination of several is that as long as the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in its pod is dispatched, the reconnaissance degree can not only be increased exponentially, but also the reconnaissance range will be expanded by more than ten times, which can be regarded as a mobile reconnaissance platform.

At present, the number of sub-mother reconnaissance airships is not very large, only four, respectively arranged in the southeast, northwest and four directions, this unmanned reconnaissance aircraft appeared at this time, is specially designed for the sub-mother reconnaissance airship and the hummingbird-class unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, its body is smaller than the ordinary unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the motive factory also specially designed a new motive for this hummingbird-class unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, so that its propulsion is stronger, the degree is faster.

If we talk about the shortcomings of the Hummingbird-class unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, it may be that its range is very short, the maximum range is only a mile kilometer, and the specially designed external auxiliary fuel can increase the range of Yuli in an emergency.

The Hummingbird-class unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is very fast, coupled with its small size, almost silent motive soundproofing technology, allowing it to fly lightly in the sky without attracting the attention of the people below. In particular, its manual control function can appear at any time in the mountains, forests and valleys for low-altitude reconnaissance.

The reconnaissance plane, which was now the O77 transport airship, quickly returned the message to the reconnaissance mothership and then back to the Chamber of Commerce. This process is only a matter of seconds.

The unmanned reconnaissance plane did not stop, but flew directly over the side of the transport airship, and because the degree was too fast, the people on the airship only heard a small sound of cutting through the air, and the reconnaissance plane was already far away, turning into a pawn √ point. After the reconnaissance plane arrived at the coordinates, the engine was turned off and it taxied with the momentum it had just had.

With switching to manual control, the Hummingbird-class reconnaissance plane plunged headlong and swept low over the mountains and forests below, the powerful air currents even blowing the branches below. This lightness, as well as the arbitrary low-altitude nature, is also incomparable with other unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. Like other unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, they will only fly along a cruising route, take some blurry pictures, and then analyze them by experts. The Hummingbird-class reconnaissance aircraft, on the other hand, do not need to be so troublesome.

Manual control, human reflexes and so on, of course, will not be too fast.

However, for this large mountain, the Hummingbird-class reconnaissance plane was a little unscrupulous, and it had clearly confirmed that there was a settlement below, but it did not dodge, but swept over the cultivated land at a low altitude, swept over the heads of stunned people, and appeared on the roofs of the houses in the settlement, faithfully recording everything.

Zhao Lishu pointed to the hummingbird-class reconnaissance plane that flew away like an elf, and chased it in amazement, new events could always arouse his curiosity.

Only Zheng Lu shook his head desperately, although the unmanned reconnaissance plane that was not big was going away quickly, he would not forget the colorful umbrella that appeared under the belly of the plane when it flew overhead. "This should be the reconnaissance plane of the Yuanqiang Chamber of Commerce, right? Now that the reconnaissance plane has arrived, how long will it be before they arrive? ”

There are not many people who really understand this meaning, and more people are full of curiosity about this little thing, such a delicate little plane, who doesn't like it.

With the help of the information obtained by the Hummingbird-class reconnaissance plane, it is constantly transmitted back to the Zimu reconnaissance airship, and then transferred to the Chamber of Commerce, where it is handed over to the intelligence department for analysis and processing, and the results obtained will be transmitted to the military department, which will then deploy and make a dispatch plan based on the intelligence.

It seems that this is very complicated, but it has a complete set of work lines, and the efficiency is very high, and the results obtained by the military department will not take more than five minutes.

It is indeed the first time that a settlement in the mountains has been encountered, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of experience, which is somewhat a problem for the military department. In the mountains, helicopter gunships may be a good choice, but this settlement, which is 700 kilometers away, will definitely make helicopter gunships sigh. If you use fighter jets or bombers, instead of destroying them, it seems that they are of little use.

The only thing left may be a military airship.

It's just that the crew of the military airship is very unsatisfactory, so is it purely to threaten the other party with a military airship?

Like long-distance warfare, the inadequacy of the Chamber of Commerce was exposed in this time, and the lack of transportation capacity was very fatal. At the same time, the military department realized that the time had come to build a forward military base, otherwise it would be too passive for the chamber's strategy.

"This area is one of the most mineralized areas in us, and from the data, the mountains where this settlement is located contain a huge variety of minerals, many of which are covered by a thin layer of soil. From the photographs taken by the reconnaissance plane, our intelligence department has analyzed and confirmed its value, and at the same time, not far from this settlement, there is an open-pit ore vein that has been proven, which is very convenient to mine, and it is one of the strategic storage veins in our country in the past.

Looking at the report, especially at the end, it is pointed out that the mineral deposits of a region are enough for the current scale of the Chamber of Commerce to last for a hundred years, which is what makes Zhou Yuanqiang the most excited.

The Chamber of Commerce's demand for steel has reached a jaw-dropping point, why measure the strength of a country, many times start from the output of steel? Because in modern times, the importance of steel has penetrated into every detail of society. The larger a country's steel production, the higher and faster it develops, and the greater its potential.

In the past six months, the Chamber of Commerce's demand for steel has been increasing every day, and the amount of steel obtained through trade is very small, after all, other settlements do not have the capacity to produce steel.

So, where does steel come from?

The Chamber of Commerce also has a plan for this, which is to send a large number of troops to capture Panzhihua, establish a long-distance settlement, and obtain Panzhihua's huge iron and steel enterprises, which can be started and deliver a large amount of steel to the Chamber of Commerce. With the existence of airships, this kind of long-range, high-load transport airship can just transport steel and will not cause transportation problems.

But in the end, the plan was put on hold.

"Open-pit vein, how could you miss it...... Zhou Yuanqiang had actually considered setting up his own steel department to ensure a stable steel conveyor belt for the Chamber of Commerce. It's just that the detection of ore veins in the wasteland area is really difficult, and now there is a huge open-pit ore vein in front of us, and the previous steel plan can be started.

However, the steel project is to be launched, but the snatching of airships in this settlement is also to be punished.

Thinking of the speculation that there were 60,000 people in this settlement, Zhou Yuanqiang suddenly laughed, and he was also worried about how to draw out a large number of personnel to form the steel department that had been assigned to each department and industry. Isn't the 60,000 people in front of us the best human resources? And it is they who make mistakes before, and they are absolutely justified.

These thoughts flashed through him, and Zhou Yuanqiang took the battle plan submitted by the Military Department, signed his name, and officially agreed to the battle plan of the Military Department.

The mountains are a place with complex terrain, and in the seventies, the United States was strong enough, right? However, in the Vietnam War, it was dragged into the quagmire by Vietnam, and finally had to withdraw its troops. What did Vietnam rely on to defeat the U.S. military? Didn't they rely on their complex terrain to strangle the footsteps of the US military?

As soon as the US troops appeared, one or two rockets often burst out suddenly, destroying one or two armored vehicles or cars, and they immediately retreated and disappeared into the complex mountains and forests, and there was no trace of their real comings and goings.

Of course, the Ministry of Military Affairs will also consider this one, but the question is, do they have the weapons that the Vietnamese countries supported in this settlement?

A heavily armed soldier with full-body armor that some dirt shotgun could not have been able to damage. Powerful military airships are enough to give them endless oppressive power, and two thousand elite soldiers are enough to conquer this settlement.

The military department, which takes all the details into account, will of course also take into account the problem of traps in the mountains and forests, but this time the operation is airborne, directly on the mountains where they live, and the military department does not believe that they will also set traps in these places, don't they themselves go out?

Out of the protection of human resources in the last days, in order to form an absolute oppressive force, the Ministry of Military Affairs sent half of the thirty-seven military airships in one go, and sent the only Hercules transport airship, which carried 1,600 soldiers at the expense of the cargo hold, which would be dropped on the head of the other party's settlement.

Together with the carrying personnel of 37 military airships, it will form a ground force with 2,000 soldiers.

It seems that there are very few settlements of 2,000 soldiers facing 60,000 people, but the gap between the two sides is indeed too big, and there are military airships monitoring at high altitude, which can provide fire support at any time, just like a modern mechanic dealing with a cavalry team with cold weapons, there is no comparison at all, and the two sides are alternating between two civilizations.

700 kilometers, the military airship takes six hours to arrive, the entire formation began to rise in the early morning, 37 military airships with Hercules transport airships, absolutely covering the sky and the moon, almost blocking the entire sky and the moon.

Equipped with two engines as propulsion power, the airship has fuel tanks deployed under the pods, and enough fuel is the guarantee that it can sail long distances. And the new military airship uses a hybrid triple power. One is the motor propulsion, the second is the silent motor propulsion, and the third is the natural air propulsion, which is enough to ensure that there is no fuel, and it can also maintain 3D kilometers per hour in the voyage.

This kind of long-distance combat, if the Tianzhou Plain is also counted, is only the second time, and the meaning of the Chamber of Commerce also has the meaning of training troops.

In the last days, when almost no one has air supremacy, airships are absolutely safe. The reason why the Chamber of Commerce built such a large number of military airships was to target the bombardment of zombies. With the number of military airships reaching 60 and the construction of them has begun gradually, the focus has shifted to the future sky of the fighters, which must belong to these eagles, and this is an unavoidable problem. The airship, its history, will continue to play the role of transport, not combat. The Chamber of Commerce is very clear about this, and it is not so fanatical that it thinks that with these big guys, it can dominate the entire blue sky.

"The coordinates are confirmed, and there are still fifty kilometers to ...... destination"

With the report, the entire military airship warship team began to change its flight formation, turning into a scattered form, making the entire formation extremely large, almost covering the entire sky. And the Big Mac, which had been flying behind the military airships, began to take the lead, turning the thirty-seven military airships into the form of guards.

After receiving the order, it had been suspended for a day, and slowly opened the huge pod door, and the two Hummingbird-class unmanned reconnaissance planes rushed out of the short runway and rushed towards the settlement in front of them, doing the final reconnaissance work to ensure that everything was normal at the target.

It was morning, and through the lens of the reconnaissance plane, it was as if the entire Antug settlement had just woken up, and people had come out of their houses to prepare for a new day's work.

In the face of the small plane that appeared yesterday, many people jumped and roared, and the children were even more excited, chasing the reconnaissance plane and running. Some of them were arrogantly scooping out their pistols from their houses and firing at the lightning-fast reconnaissance planes. It's just the degree of the Hummingbird-class unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, how can it be that they can hit it? In the blink of an eye, it was already far away, and the people below hated it so much that they scolded their mothers.

However, yesterday's reconnaissance plane only made a rough reconnaissance and returned home. Today's two reconnaissance planes, as if attracted by something, did not rush to leave, completely like diligent hummingbirds, constantly collecting nectar on flower buds. The difference is that these two reconnaissance planes, their targets are only conducting reconnaissance from positions that may be threatening.

After about ten minutes and the entire Antug settlement was completely transparent, the two reconnaissance planes left satisfied.

For these inexplicable two small planes, many people continue to be busy with their own affairs, and only as the decision-making level of the entire settlement, they finally realize that something is wrong. If yesterday's appearance was accidental, then the small plane that appeared for the second time now, and it is specially circling the settlement, is certainly not an unintentional move.

Thinking of the colorful umbrellas on the transport airship that have been graffiti and are almost unrecognizable, the small planes that have appeared in the past two days seem to be ...... It seems that there is also the same small colorful umbrella.

"You said that the two small planes just now, whose prank was it, and the level of production is really beautiful." A young man with a gun on his back looked a little bored in the direction where the Hummingbird-class unmanned reconnaissance plane had disappeared, and casually pulled out a cigarette rolled out of crisp leaves from his pocket, carefully lit it, and smoked it beautifully.

The companion next to him greedily inhaled the second-hand smoke scattered in the air, shook his head and said: "Who knows, he ***, it's really good, the few boxes of good cigarettes he got didn't even have our share, you know that we also had a share of the airship when we robbed it, didn't we?" We should share the spoils of war. ”

The young man who spoke first spat fiercely and said, "Don't even think about this kind of good thing, we are still only suitable for smoking this kind of wild smoke." ”

"I can't say that, there is no cigarette, I heard that we will get one of the thousands of clothes. Tsk, new clothes, I haven't worn them in years. I really don't know what it's like. The other laughed with satisfaction, but he suddenly felt that the whole sky was darkening, and said dissatisfiedly: "Damn, this ghost weather, it was still cloudless just now, why did the sky suddenly become dark, it seems that there is another rainstorm." ”

But the young man who spoke first, the precious wild smoke in his hand had fallen to the ground in shock, and he opened his mouth wide and looked stupidly at the gloomy sky above his head.
