New Industrial Zone.

Goblin Tech's workshop.

In the factory with various parts stacked, a rather punk-shaped three-wheeled motorcycle is parked.

Unlike ordinary motorcycles, this thing not only has half-human-high tires, but the engine that drives the tires is even more outrageous. Because the engine was taller than the saddle, it had to be mounted on the side of the motorcycle, carried on an extra wheel, and from a distance it looked like a triple jumper with a convex and backward tilt.

The shape of the engine is also quite chic, the shape is like a sweet potato stove, and there is a round feed port at the top, which can easily be used as an outdoor trash can when placed on the side of the road.

But in fact, the overly spacious inlet was deliberately designed like that to make it easier for the driver to add firewood to it.

Walking next to the manager, Mosquito excitedly introduced his new invention to him.

"This is our engine modeled on the regimental standard light truck, a firewood engine designed for the terrain around Qingquan City!"

"With a few simple improvements, it's now more resilient to bumpy conditions than before, even jumping up and down in mud pits without accidentally stalling the engine. Our soldiers no longer have to hold the butts of their guns against the wood in the inlet! ”

"And this motorcycle is also a masterpiece of our goblin technology, which I call - 'Death Breath'!"

"How? Doesn't it look cool? ”

In a sense, it's pretty cool.

It's just that Chu Guang feels that this name is somewhat unlucky, as if the person sitting on it is destined to be gone.

But aside from that, this thing is still quite interesting, and the principle of that engine is probably similar to that of the pot camel machine.

The inlet in the shape of a garbage bin is connected to a drum-like device and a pipe. After the wood is fed into the feed inlet, it is dried in a slow sedimentation process, then cracked by the internal heat, incompletely burned in a limited amount of oxygen, and the carbon on the surface reacts with water and oxygen to produce a mixed gas containing hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, and finally through a metal condenser tube and then introduced into the engine.

After that, the principle is similar to that of other natural gas engines, including piston and cylinder structures, etc.

Three kilograms of wood is equivalent to a liter of gasoline, which is enough for this motorcycle to run 20 kilometers, which is equivalent to 15 kilograms of wood for 100 kilometers, which is not only easy to use but also cheap.

After all, the last thing that is lacking in this wasteland is wood.

In fact, this thing is not the latest invention of the mosquito, after all, he had poured firewood vaporization in the carpentry hut a long time ago.

The Molotov cocktails used by the players in the early days, as well as the flamethrowers he used himself, were made from the by-products of firewood vaporization.

After carefully examining this uniquely shaped motorcycle for a while, Chu Guang looked at the mosquito and continued to ask.

"What is the fastest speed this motorcycle can reach?"

Mosquito said in the affirmative.

"No problem with 100 yards! But I don't recommend driving that fast, I'm afraid that a bump in the road conditions outside will make it fly. ”

Chu Guang nodded, indicating understanding.

Although he has never ridden a motorcycle, he has ridden a battery car, and he can make up that picture in his brain with a little imagination.

"Not bad."

"There's a lot to be improved, but it's good to be able to do this."

"With this thing, our mobility on the battlefield will be greatly improved, thank you for your contribution to the revival of the People's Federation."

Unexpectedly, his invention was so highly praised by the faction leader, and the mosquito's face suddenly showed a flattered expression.

Restraining the excitement in his heart, he said in an excited tone.

"It's my pleasure to share your worries!"

Orders!

Silver coin!

The most important thing is that his invention is recognized!

As soon as he thought of his proud work, the store that could be put on the shelves of NPCs, and was selected by players on all servers, Mosquito couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement.

Who else dares to say that his invention is useless?

Who else dares to say that his creation is superfluous?

Well?

Just ask who else!

Chu Guang glanced at the mosquito who was suddenly agitated strangely, but he didn't say anything, but continued to ask about the production aspect.

"Isn't this kind of engine a hassle to make? And that ...... Uh, how much can a 'Death Breath' motorcycle produce in a month? ”

Mosquito said with a smile.

"No trouble! As long as the supply of materials is sufficient and the orders from the steel plant can be arranged, there is no problem in assembling one in three days! If it's fast, it's going to be two days! ”

Three days.

It's a little slower.

I'm afraid I'll have to miss the battle at hand.

However, Chu Guang also knew that this was also something that could not be helped.

Large-scale production requires a lot of manpower and physical consumption, and at present, 80 percent of the manpower and material resources of the new industrial zone are concentrated on the production of weapons, equipment, and ammunition. No matter how much you mobilize, you can't conjure up something out of thin air.

As for vehicles, they can only be given second priority for the time being.

However, to Chu Guang's relief, Mosquito seems to have opened up recently, and finally began to consider abandoning the production model of small workshops, adapting to the needs of the "version", employing other players and aborigines, and learning from Factory 81 to become bigger and stronger.

This is undoubtedly a good start.

……

An order was placed with Goblin Technology via VM.

After leaving Goblin Technology, Chu Guang went to the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant for a turn, and then returned to the outpost.

However, shortly after he returned to the base, he saw the wrench walking towards him with a serious expression.

"My lord! Your patrol deployed to the northeast has received word that they have witnessed a large number of marauders in the area from the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base to Camp Winterwillow. ”

"They should be from the southern suburbs of Tianshui City!"

Is it finally here?

For some reason, after hearing the news, Chu Guang's heart was not only a little nervous, but relieved.

It would be better for Black Snake to attack at this time than to delay it until a month later, and he and Vanus had expected them to do it earlier.

It seems that the marauders wanted to spend the winter in their cells.

Very good.

Chu Guang looked at the wrench and calmly ordered.

"Mobilize all the soldiers."

"Deploy according to the plan made the night before!"

The wrench looked solemn and said.

"Yes! My lord. ”

……

Northeast of Qingquan City.

A convoy of twenty light trucks, eight armored pickups, and one tank was now wriggling crookedly through a vast expanse of white snow, slowly wriggling forward.

In addition to the vehicles, hundreds of marauders were scattered on the two wings of the convoy, as well as nearly a thousand slaves in leg cuffs.

With all their possessions with them, they marched slowly.

From time to time, trucks would get stuck in the snow due to poor road conditions, or get stuck in the terrain and have to be carried by slaves.

So much so that the marauders walking next to them had to slow down and wait for these big and bulky guys.

Sitting in the back seat of an armored pickup truck, the expression on the black snake's face was a little impatient, and he couldn't help but ask the driver.

"How long will it take for us to get there?"

The driver, holding the steering wheel, replied nervously.

"You should be there before dark, my lord."

Before dark......

Looks like we'll have to spend the night in the snow tonight.

Knowing that it was useless to urge, the black snake cursed a few words in his heart, and continued to wait patiently.

The night before, the scouts he had sent south had spotted a fierce battle in the direction of Long Farm, during which he had seen a flare rise into the night sky.

Although he did not see the exact details of the battle, his scouts reported that at least 300 or more people were exchanging fire at the sound of gunfire.

Two or three teams of hundreds.

It seems that his old friend Lionya saw his thoughts, and this time he was determined to get ahead of them, and advance his troops 20 kilometers south before the snow melted, and directly eat a large area of land in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

Black Snake knew he had to make a move.

If you continue to wait until the spring, I am afraid that you will not even have to drink the soup.

Sitting next to the Black Snake, Vides said cautiously.

"It's not a good idea to march in the snow, our armored units simply can't play a mobile advantage in a half-meter-thick snowdrift."

Whether it's an armored pickup or a tank, or two 100mm howitzers towed by a truck.

The slightest mistake in these heavy pieces of equipment can get stuck in the snow, and if they break down in an inopportune place, they are likely to become live targets.

However, Black Snake didn't care, or didn't take this warning to heart at all.

Judging from the strength shown by the survivors of the northern suburbs in the first two battles, it is only the level of the two hundred-man teams that survived the death.

And there were four of them next to him alone, and six more had already set out first, exploring the way in front of the large army.

Can't take advantage of mobility?

Joke.

Does he need that?

In the face of absolute power, he only needs to slam the muzzle of the cannon in their faces, and they will naturally surrender with their armor thrown away.

"The blizzard has stopped, the most difficult times have passed, and our infantry will clear the obstacles ahead, and our armored forces and supply baggage will follow. If the situation is optimistic, we will be able to move into their house tomorrow night and sleep under their bed. ”

Vides asked.

"What if the situation is not optimistic?"

"Then the day after tomorrow," Black Snake patted Vides on the shoulder, a happy expression on his face, "Don't worry, my friend, I know you like careful planning, but sometimes the ability to improvise is important. ”

Vides shook his head and said.

"It's not a war, it's a gamble."

"Gambling? I don't hate that word. ”

Black Snake continued with a smile.

"I know what you're worried about, if our front-line troops are attacked, our tanks won't be able to rush up, right?"

Vides: "......"

Without waiting for the staff officer to speak, Black continued with self-questioning.

"This concern is completely unfounded, and it is not only us who are suffering from heavy snowfall, but they are also the same. No matter how long my battle line is, it is within the range of artillery fire. Without vehicles, they will be crushed to the ground by our artillery like grasshoppers stuck in the snow! ”

"What if they choose to attack our rear?" Vides couldn't help but say, "If I were them, I would never be stupid enough to rush up from the front." ”

A hint of displeasure appeared on the black snake's face.

Although the staff officer was occasionally able to offer some constructive advice, sometimes it was not good.

In particular, he did not think that attacking his own rear was a good idea.

"Do you think I didn't take this into account? Otherwise, why would I have to leave four centurions behind? Even with ten thousand steps back, they miraculously bypassed our troops in front of us and appeared in our rear, and these four hundred-man teams were enough to overwhelm them. ”

Besides, it's impossible.

This winter is equal for all.

It is impossible for a man to fall from the sky.

If they wanted to bypass the six hundred-man teams that were searching for them, they could only go around from the east, and they had to make a big circle.

It is conservatively estimated that their march will extend to thirty kilometers, during which time they will pass through vast expanses of snow, as well as scattered forests and ruins.

By the time they had to make that effort to get around to the rear, maybe their armored forces would have already driven into the city of Qingquan City!

And even if they take 10,000 steps back, it doesn't matter if they really touch the back.

Even if the tank gets stuck in the snow, at most it will jam its tracks, and it will not affect its turret.

With the cooperation of four centurians, a dense stream of bullets and shells will swatt that damn bed bug swarm to death in the snow like flies!

He has been waiting for this day for more than a month!

After listening to Black Snake's words, Vides chose to remain silent, because he really didn't know what to say.

Not sending everyone to the front only shows that he is not stupid, but it does not mean that it was a smart enough decision.

If this guy is allowed to be the commander of the expeditionary force, I am afraid that they will not be able to last even a week, and they will be able to wipe out a million troops in three days.

Vides sighed silently in his heart, and now he could only pray that there was also a group of laymen on the other side.

Yet for some reason.

Whenever he thought about it, he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

It was an instinct he had honed while fighting the people of the Great Rift Valley on the Northern Front, and that instinct had helped him dodge danger countless times.

Will it really go so well?

……

At this moment, neither Vides, nor the Black Snake, nor the patrol team following the convoy, no one noticed that a pair of eyes were staring intently at them on the snowy slope 3 kilometers to the east.

With gauze in front of the telescope, Ye Shi, who was lying in the snowdrift, restrained the excitement in his heart, stretched out his frozen index finger and pressed it on the chic headphones.

"Attention squad leaders! The target has passed through the A marked area and is moving towards the C area of the map...... They should want to go to the interprovincial highway. ”

"You're not going to let this big fish pass, are you?"

In the sleeping bag not far away, there was a wind that was sleeping and lying offline, and he had to go offline to call the wind up after a while.

It's been two days since they've been on shift here.

In the past two days and two nights, they have not returned to the base once.

Ye Shi didn't know how he persevered!

The voices of the squad leaders can be heard in the communication channel.

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Gan! Didn't you go from me! ”

Midnight Kill: "Come to work, brothers!" ”

In the snowfield, which was 5 kilometers away from the target, the commander of the spring water, who was standing next to the truck, returned to the passenger seat and pushed the battlefield atmosphere group sitting in the driver's seat.

"By car, let's go to Area C. After a while, don't go up when you see someone and stop the car before fighting. ”

"Coming? Damn, this mission is really long enough...... I almost dropped. The Battlefield shook his head and started his engine.

The Commander ignored him, his index finger pressed on the headset.

"Shifting deployment, target C region...... Call the fringe team, and they're heading straight in your direction, and you're probably leading the way this time. ”

Next to the interprovincial highway 4 km away from the target.

A team of players in white camouflage crawls through the snow with a forest behind them and a gentle slope ahead.

This is the closest road to the interprovincial highway.

Edge paddling reached out and pressed it on the headphones, calmly answering.

"Roger."

After ending the communication, he looked at the eager comrades behind him, slowly took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression.

"Brothers, the enemy is moving in a straight line towards us, and only the last 4 kilometers remain."

"This will be the very center of the battlefield."

After speaking, he looked at the construction site boy and the brick.

“…… Brother Brick, you aim at the tracks of the tank for a while, whether you hit or not, change positions immediately after firing a shot. If the track is broken, leave it alone and leave it to Big Eye. ”

There was a nearly two-meter-long "riding spear" in front of him, and the construction site boy and brick said excitedly.

"Leave it to me!"

"+1," Debt Big Eye took out the little robot from his backpack, and after confirming that the explosives were tied, hehe laughed and continued, "Anyway, isn't it open this time?" I'm bet—"

"Get out!"

"Bet on you crow's mouth! As long as you talk too much, hurry up and put the robot in front! ”

Seeing that it caused public outrage, the debt big eyes coughed dryly.

"I'm just kidding."

It's going to be an uphill battle.

The enemies they will face will be several times greater than the last time.

No one is afraid, though.

I can feel the light flashing in the double pupils next to me, and the courage to see death as if it were home.

They're going to keep the robbers out of here.

Want to get in the past?

Then give it a try!

Edge glanced at the VM on her arm.

I saw a line of pale blue text appear on the screen.

[Mission: Operation Codename "Spring Thunder"]

This thunder.

Will shatter all the darkness!
