Chapter 376: Starry Sky
Chapter 376: Starry Sky
The world is always improving, never expect others to stagnate, every day of life, always full of variables, either you change others, or others change you.
The Chamber of Commerce, which rules most of the continent, also understands this point, and has not relaxed for a moment, from the capture of Shanghai to the two-month-long migration, which has relocated tens of millions of people from a few settlements to the coastal areas, from Guangdong to Shanghai, in the most prosperous cities, each city has a scale of 100 to 2 million people.
It was not until mid-July, when the migration began in early May, that it was finally completed.
The ten most developed coastal cities have once again gained popularity. After being resettled in their assigned homes, people spontaneously took to the streets, washing away the garbage from the streets, as well as the dirt left over from the fighting, helping to clean up piles of cement slag onto trucks, and cleaning up some of the collapsed houses.
Cities are like huge construction sites, and people are all busy. The green belt was trimmed, the chairs in the park and square were reinstalled and repaired, and according to the command of the Chamber of Commerce, materials were carried and some important places were blocked. It helped the Chamber of Commerce to renovate the school and prepare for the children to re-enter the school.
These are just the few parts of the busy process, and there is so much that needs to be done to relocate like this.
The electricity system needs to be repaired, the water supply system needs to be repaired, and the main streets need to be paved in the shortest possible time in the areas that will be destroyed by the shells. It is necessary to move some strategic materials to safe places, and when allocating housing, it is even more complicated, and it is necessary to ensure that the houses allocated to each household are not much different. It is also important to keep the residents of the chamber of commerce from stealing their property and keeping the entire city safe.
The most troublesome thing is the water and electricity system, which are the two most basic things in a city, and you can do anything less, but you can't lack them.
The complexity of the power system cannot be solved in a short time. A large number of personnel can only be sent to repair the damaged transmission line. A large number of engineering airships play a huge role at this moment, they go deep into the places that need to be repaired, carry a large number of high-voltage wires, and make the greatest contribution to the repair of the entire power system.
Because the zombies were cleared, there was no need to worry about the safety of the city and the emergency repair personnel, so the Chamber of Commerce fully devoted itself to the emergency repair of electricity, and more than 100,000 people followed the power transmission network until the power station, and then started the power station. After cutting off the power supply in some areas where there are no human beings, the power supply of a single hydropower station can be used by several cities, which greatly shortens the difficulty of emergency repair.
After the successful restoration of electricity, the water supply system will not be difficult to solve, only need to replace some water pipes that have been unusable for a long time, and repair some areas that have been damaged in the war. As soon as the tap water system was activated, cities entered the era of satisfying hydropower, and there was no longer the same as before, when it was dark, they could only rest, and they still relied on transport airships to drink water.
After the fundamental solution, in order to prevent accidents, a large amount of grain in the Tianzhou Plain was harvested, and the endless arable land was abandoned. Large agricultural machinery was transported by airship to the coastal area, where there is a huge plain area, and the water and soil are fertile, which is more suitable for farming. It is also on the verge of becoming a source of food for humanity, ensuring that more than 10 million people are not affected by hunger.
Considering that one season was missed, but the harvested grain was enough to support the needs of more than 10 million people for a year, the Department of Agriculture of the Chamber of Commerce of course immediately invested a lot of manpower to burn the abandoned fields in these coastal areas and reclaim them into fertile fields to prepare for the sowing of rice in the next season.
Things are far more than that, like the military factories in Qingyuan City and Tianzhou Plain, they will all move to D City next to S City one by one. The Chamber of Commerce has officially determined that City D has become a military city, and people other than the military industry will not be allowed to enter City D without permission, and City D will also be officially listed as a military restricted area.
Along with City D, which is listed as a military restricted area, there is also City G, which is the location of the first military region of the entire Chamber of Commerce, and is stationed with sixty percent of the military forces of the entire Chamber of Commerce. Two air carrier formations, all stationed here. The Second Military Region, which is placed in Ningbo next to Shanghai, is stationed with forty percent of the military forces, and the second brood-class air carrier Sky, after its service, belongs to the command of the Second Military Region.
Not only the former military factories, but also some of the former military industrial enterprises in the recovered areas, which can be moved, will also be relocated to D City, and completely build D City into a huge military industrial city of the Chamber of Commerce, and a large number of military-related factories will also be relocated to form an integrated production area.
In order to ensure that the Chamber of Commerce controls some raw materials along the coast, as the largest transportation volume, the railway also needs to be inspected and repaired. After the threat of zombies is gone, the iron line will be the largest transportation line of the Chamber of Commerce, responsible for transporting countless materials from the cities that have decided to give up to the cities where humans live along the coast.
It is estimated that the area under the control of the Chamber of Commerce is so large that the materials beyond imagination can make the Chamber of Commerce no longer worry about materials for 70 years.
On the Tianzhou Plain, the usual busy figures are no longer seen here, millions of people, just a week ago, the last group of people arrived on the coast under the transport of a huge transport airship force. At this point, Tianzhou Plain, the largest grain base of the Chamber of Commerce, was announced to be abandoned. On the highways, there are fewer noisy cars and it has become quiet.
If there are still signs of human activity on the entire Tianzhou Plain, it is the special fighter aircraft factory established two years ago.
All the people on the Tianzhou Plain were evacuated, whether it was the Third Aircraft Factory, the Second Armored Factory, or even the Third Airship Factory, all those who could be moved were moved. Now the only thing going down is the special fighter factory.
To be exact, it is not the entire special fighter manufacturing plant, but the general assembly line of the remaining special fighter manufacturing plant. The rest of the factory, the machinery inside, had long since been removed and became empty. They have long settled in City D and are in the process of being formed.
As one of the most mysterious manufacturing factories in the Chamber of Commerce, in the entire Chamber of Commerce, there are only a dozen top leaders of the Chamber of Commerce who know what is made here, except for the people in the manufacturing factory. It is not that the Chamber of Commerce intends to engage in mystery, but the special fighter factory, from the time of its establishment, its starting point is too unbelievable, and the weapons manufactured have been divorced from people's understanding of traditional weapons.
At the largest airfield of the abandoned Tianzhou Plain Military Base, an A380, the largest airliner before the end of the world, is slowly landing.
As the world's largest civil airliner, it was seized at the airport in S City and belonged to China Southern Airlines. It's a pity that in the last days, the area where the Chamber of Commerce goes, and the things in it, all belong to the Chamber of Commerce and belong to Zhou Yuanqiang. Therefore, this giant passenger plane has become one of the many passenger planes of the Chamber of Commerce, shouldering the exclusive passenger plane of the Chamber of Commerce to transport high-level officials.
The purpose of its appearance here is to prepare to use its huge passenger capacity to transport the last engineers and technicians from the special fighter manufacturing plant back to City D.
After the A380 landed, more than a dozen cars were already waiting here. Those who came out of the passenger plane were Zhou Yuanqiang and Xu Dali, as well as a group of guards. Zhou Yuanqiang and Xu Dali arrived here, and in the Chamber of Commerce, not many people know about it. People have long been accustomed to the frequent disappearance of the president, so no one is surprised that he appears here silently.
Waiting in front of more than a dozen cars was an old man with gray hair, who saw Zhou Yuanqiang come down and gave a military salute.
After Zhou Yuanqiang and Xu Dali returned a military salute, they said, "Old Liu, it's hard work." ”
The old man known as Liu Lao, with a smile on his face, said: "After two years, I finally handed over a satisfactory test paper. As the most authoritative master of dynamics before the end of the world, his achievements can be said to be diverse, not only dynamics, but also several disciplines such as aeronautics, he has a deep understanding.
Liu Chuanteng can be said to be the second person in the chamber of commerce who enjoys special power in addition to Wanzhongshan, and his existence is an irreplaceable treasure for the chamber of commerce, responsible for all the work of the special fighter factory, directly responsible for Zhou Yuanqiang, and has the power to mobilize the logistics department.
The group quickly got into the car, and soon after, appeared on the assembly line of the special fighter manufacturing plant.
Although it is not as large as the assembly line of the brood-class air carrier, the assembly line of the special fighter factory is fully enclosed for the open-air assembly line of the air carrier. With a height of up to 100 meters, a length of 500 meters and a width of 300 meters, it is definitely not smaller than the dock where surface carriers are made.
After Zhou Yuanqiang and the others arrived here, they looked at this huge assembly line, and they were so excited that they couldn't describe it in words.
"Almost 800 days and nights, tens of thousands of people were busy, and finally it was made. At first, I thought it was just a dream, but at this moment, I realized that it was not a dream, but a real existence. Liu Chuanteng looked at the final assembly line, where the engineers and technicians were evacuating, and he said: "If our motherland can have it as soon as possible, how can it be the turn of other countries to be arrogant and drive warships to their doorsteps to demonstrate?" ”
Xu Dali, as a top dignitary in the Chamber of Commerce, naturally has the right to know what the big guy here is, he rubbed his hands fiercely, and said: "Okay now, I think that kid who slays the dragon is still arrogant, he thinks his air carrier formation Niu B?" Now it's finally our Air Force's turn to be angry again, hahaha! ”
Zhou Yuanqiang and Liu Chuanteng looked at each other and laughed, Zhou Yuanqiang said: "Old Liu, everything is simple." ”
Liu Chuanteng nodded and said, "Let me first briefly introduce the cloud-class battleship, of course, our battleship does not refer to the warships in the ocean. The reason why it is called a battleship is mainly because of its appearance, which is somewhat similar to a warship. But our Cloud-class battleships are not in the water, but in the sky. To be precise, the Cloud-class battleship, it belongs to the Air Force, but it will not belong to the Air Force if it is needed for future development. ”
"The Cloud-class battleship, with a total length of 288 meters, a width of 67 meters, and a height of 31 meters, uses six crystalline ramjet engines. Note that our engines are not engines in the traditional sense, they have broken people's perception of engines. It was their appearance that led to the emergence of cloud-class warships. In other words, you can also understand that it is a suspension engine. ”
"The Cloud-class battleship uses two super thrusters, which are the same as the propellers of the Brood Air Mothership, which can provide all the propulsion needed by the entire battleship. Preliminary design, it reached a speed of 2300 km / h. Yes, there is no doubt that its huge body, in front of the super thruster, is as light as nothing. ”
"The means of attack it has, because there is no way to break through in terms of weapons, mainly using missile attacks, coupled with powerful bombing capabilities. So another name for it, you can also call it a missile warship, or a bombing fortress. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Chuanteng did not continue to introduce, but said: "Even if I introduce more, it is far better than really forgiving it." You all know what I just said, President, and you have seen the blueprints. But the design drawings, even the renderings, didn't really shock us. ”
This is exactly to say a thousand, ten thousand, it is not as good as witnessing it.
After the evacuation of a large number of people inside, Liu Chuanteng took out an instrument similar to a communicator from his pocket, he pressed it on it, and in an instant, the huge top cover on the assembly line made a roaring mechanical sound, like a ground-based missile, slowly opening from both sides.
After a few minutes, the top cover on the entire final assembly line is fully opened.
Of course, from this point of view, it is impossible to see the cloud-level battleship inside, but everyone present knows that as the most powerful force of the Chamber of Commerce, it is inside. It is like a peerless weapon that is about to appear, just by opening the top cover on the assembly line, people feel an inexplicable pressure from the heart.
Although this kind of pressure is not emitted by it, those who have seen its design can feel this pressure from the heart.
After opening the top cover, Liu Chuanteng handed over the controller to Zhou Yuanqiang and said: "President, this controller is the key to start the cloud-class battleship, this historical moment, of course, is completed by you, the president." Rest assured, the Cloud-class battleship uses the most complete intelligent system of the Ministry of Information and can be fully automated. ”
Zhou Yuanqiang didn't refuse, and pressed heavily on one of the red buttons.
Suddenly, a crisp female mechanical voice came from the final assembly line: "Starry Sky is activated, and during testing, the energy system is normal, the thruster system is normal, the stability system is normal, the armor system is normal, and the weapon system is normal...... After the detection is completed, all systems are normal, and the startup countdown begins, 10, 9, 8 ......"
Liu Chuanteng said: "This is the program in the setting, as the first start, just like we use the computer, we need to do our own self-test. In the future, the launch will not be so complicated, because the Star will only carry out a self-test when it is instructed, or every 10th liftoff, a self-test. Of course, this sound is the use of amplification effect, and when the time comes, you can turn this function off and on as needed when you set it. ”
As soon as the countdown of 10 seconds passed, the entire assembly line, suddenly flashed firelight, and a huge roar sounded, like an atomic bomb explosion, and the smoke that rushed out directly submerged the huge assembly line. It was as if there had been an earthquake, and the whole earth was trembling, making people feel like they were going to fall.
Under the huge smoke shroud, a black shadow appeared, which quickly broke away from the smoke and slowly rose vertically upwards.
A moment later, the Starry Sky battleship leaped into everyone's eyes. Its shape is fundamentally derived from the combination of a warship and a spaceship. It has no wings, and the six suspenseful engines under its belly are what keep the Star in the air smoothly. It is made of steel and fibers that are harder than steel, and can withstand the attack of any conventional weapon known to date. Like the main battle tank, it is impossible to penetrate the armor in its weakest point when using armor-piercing shells.
It is no exaggeration to say that under conventional weapons, it is almost invincible, except for the weakness of the engine.
That's right, this is the most powerful weapon of the Chamber of Commerce, which was completed from the set, and the entire manufacturing time, up to two years. From the time the brood-class air carrier was first manufactured, the Star Sky began to be manufactured at the same time. But when the brood carrier was completed, it was only half finished. It was not until the second brood air carrier entered service with the Second Military Region that the Starry Sky underwent final assembly, which took two and two and a half months to complete.
As soon as you see it, people's first impression is that it is a spaceship. There are no wings, the whole body is made of black steel, and on each protruding point, there are anti-aircraft guns, countless missile launch points, all over the body of the battleship, capable of launching thousands of missiles at the same time.
In just three minutes, the Star, which replaced the tank and became a steel behemoth, was lifted into the air at a distance of 2,000 meters. With the activation and ignition of the two super thrusters, it increased its speed to hundreds of kilometers in a matter of seconds, and continued to rush towards the sky at a 45-degree angle.
The appearance of the Starry Sky is indeed changing the future of mankind, it is not just a warship, but more importantly, it opens a door to a wider space for mankind. If you want to get out of the earth like a science fiction movie, although it will take a long time, with the appearance of the Starry Sky, this process will be shortened indefinitely.
