Chapter 137: Preparation

"Bang!" The newly installed electromagnetic kinetic energy cannon on the "Iron Bull" has just been test-firing.

This was a gift from the Mamba after receiving the blueprint for the "Civilian Multi-Purpose Mobile Barrier", and the "Iron Bull" in Area 14 was also equipped with two electromagnetic kinetic energy cannons and two twin Gatling guns.

Seeing that the cannonball accurately hit the target set in the spot next door, Freya was also very excited.

In the past, when they encountered a mechanical convoy, they had to flee from the desert, but now they finally have a powerful weapon in their hands.

However, their "Iron Bull" can only be regarded as a semi-finished product of the Democratic Reform Army, and the big guy next door who is about to be completed is really armed to the teeth.

With eight electromagnetic kinetic cannons, sixteen twin Gatling guns, and reinforced armor, the Iron Bull was like a docile calf in front of the big guy.

Everything is ready, and the newly built "civilian multi-purpose mobile barrier" has already set up all the shelves, just waiting for the machine manufacturing plant to produce the required mechanical vehicles, and then dismantle the Type I fusion energy core and install it.

"Group A car number one calls, group A car number one calls, the rest of the vehicles report their respective locations, and the rest of the vehicles report their respective positions."

Lias pressed the communicator button, he was driving a machine gun car that was speeding around the edge of the spot, and Jim was sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle, and now the reconnaissance team had also stepped into the era of mechanization, and no longer had to run on his legs.

The reply from the same team came from the car communicator:

"Group A No. 2 car replied, we are behind you, and the taillights can be seen clearly!"

"Group A car No. 3 replied, we are about ten meters away from car No. 2, just behind you!"

He was followed by two other vehicles of the reconnaissance team, tasked with patrolling the area around the station.

Lias is still very vigilant against the red "monsters", and although the team's firepower has changed dramatically, the bloody horror has always lingered.

At present, Group A convoys, that is, the reconnaissance teams in the past, basically patrol around the station four to five times a day.

This is a hard standard set by Lias, and the security of the station is the first priority for him.

But now that there are mechanical vehicles, there is no need to run on their legs, and the reconnaissance team can be much easier.

"Jim, I heard Fran say you stole a bottle of wine at dinner yesterday, right? After being caught by her, you trained for an hour? ”

The captain of the second car is the "tourist" Paul, who joined the "Journey to the Underworld" earlier, and has long been in harmony with the core members.

"Jim, you kid is bold enough, you dare to steal Fran's wine? Aren't you afraid of her shackles? ”

Ena's voice came from the communicator, she was the deputy car of car No. 3 and the fulcrum of the mental network of the reconnaissance team.

But now that there is in-vehicle communication, the group can rely on wireless communication, which can save her a lot of trouble.

"Don't talk nonsense, is that called stealing? I panicked after eating the flour barley dumplings, and I just took the wrong bottle when I drank the water. Jim replied with a blushing face.

Paul laughed, "Don't talk about it, you and we are all three-year-olds, by the way, how does the new wine taste?" Fran said that it was not yet a day, and she refused to give it no matter how much she begged. ”

Jim smacked his lips and said, "It does have an astringent taste, but it's many times stronger than the batch we drank before, I don't know how many times stronger, damn, don't talk about it, my saliva is about to flow out." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, you usually have fun, I can say it, it is absolutely forbidden to drink alcohol during the patrol, who dares to drink alcohol to work, be careful that I knock you on the head!" Lias said as he pressed the communicator.

The team leader spoke, and everyone was silent for a moment, but after a while, Lias said again: "Well, when you rest, you can still drink a little, I'll go talk to Fran about this, see when the wine is ready, let's grab his first bottle." ”

"Good, good!" Everyone in the investigation team was bored, and the channel was lively again.

……

Tang Hao is commanding the intelligent adjutant of the base to count all the inventory of the "Journey to the Underworld", seeing that all the convoys are ready, and the "civilian multi-functional mobile barrier" is also nearing completion, the team has been here for more than three months, and it is almost time to march to the upper floor.

"Your Excellency, Commander, all stocks have been counted, and spare ammunition and spare parts have been stored."

"Other supplies are also coming in, and from the current situation, it is enough to ensure that the team can last for four to six months without supplies."

Hide the interface of commonly used materials, and the next thing is the core secret.

The base intelligence lieutenant continued, "The 'αII Photosensitive Nanomachines' have now been bred to the sixth batch, and the total number is at the twelfth power of ten. ”

"This batch of nanomachines can produce about 15 grams of metallic hydrogen per day, and with our existing inventory, it will take a long time before the Type III fusion energy core is manufactured."

"The civilian multi-functional protective suit, which has been manufactured by nanomachinery during this time, now has forty-five pieces in stock, considering the possible loss, it is only enough for the core members of the 'Journey to the Underworld' for the time being."

"This machine suggests that when going to any level of the underground world without clear intelligence, at least the vanguard should be fully protected to avoid accidents."

Tang Hao nodded and said, "Then let the 'αII photosensitive nanomachines' continue to multiply, and use all their production capacity to make multi-functional protective clothing." ”

He looked at the team panel: "There are a total of thirty-eight core members of the 'Journey to the Underworld', including two minors, and the team of workers has forty-nine people...... and fourteen slaves. ”

"There's sixteen more people in Freya, and if they go to the ground with them, they'll have to prepare some for them."

"Counting 50% of the reserves, a total of nearly 200 sets of multi-functional protective clothing are needed, and the number is still a bit far behind."

The adjutant replied, "If the situation is urgent, there is another backup plan for this machine." ”

"Now the two 'civil multi-purpose mobile barriers' have enough internal space for us to transform their internal environment."

"Add air circulation and temperature control so that if the surrounding environment is harsh, other people can stay inside the mobile barrier and avoid being affected by the environment."

Tang Hao nodded and said: "Yes, yes, this is a good way, the mobile barrier is similar to the space station, and the others stay in it and don't come out if they are fine." ”

"I'm going to inform Susie and ask her to put this modification in place, and when everything is ready, we'll set off on the upper floor."
