Chapter 230 Spring Thunder

  New Industrial Zone.

  Goblin technology workshop.

  In the factory building where various parts are piled up, there is a punk three-wheeled motorcycle parked.

  Different from ordinary motorcycles, this thing not only has tires that are half the height of a person, but also the engine that drives the tires is ridiculously large. Since the height of the engine exceeds the seat cushion, it has to be installed on the side of the motorcycle and carried by an extra wheel, which looks like a three-jump with a front and a rear.

  The shape of the engine is also quite unique. It is shaped like a stove for burning sweet potatoes, with a round feeding port on the top. It is easy to be used as an outdoor trash can if it is placed alone on the side of the road.

   But in fact, the overly spacious feed inlet is deliberately designed to facilitate the driver to add firewood inside.

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

   "This is a firewood engine specially designed for the terrain near Qingquan City!"

"After some simple improvements, it is now more adaptable to the bumpy environment than before. Even if it is jumping up and down in the mud pit, it can ensure that the engine will not stop accidentally. Our soldiers no longer need to hold the **** of the gun to resist The wood in the feed port is gone!"

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

   "How about it? Doesn't it look cool?"

   In a sense, it's really cool.

   It's just that Chu Guang felt that the name was a bit unlucky, as if the person sitting on it was destined to disappear forever.

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

  The trash can-shaped feeding port is connected with iron-drum-like devices and pipes. After the wood is fed into the feed port, it is dried in the process of slow sedimentation, then cracked by the internal heat, and incompletely burned in limited oxygen. The carbon on the surface reacts with water and oxygen to generate hydrogen and methane. , carbon monoxide mixture, and finally through the metal condensation tube and then into the engine.

  The principle after this is almost the same as other natural gas engines, including piston and cylinder structures and so on.

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

   After all, the most indispensable thing in this wasteland is wood.

   In fact, this thing is not a recent invention of Mosquito, after all, he used to vaporize firewood long ago in the woodworking hut.

  The incendiary bottles used by the players in the early days, as well as the flamethrower he himself used, were all made of the by-products of the vaporization of firewood.

   After carefully studying this unique motorcycle for a while, Chu Guang looked at the mosquito and continued to ask.

   "What is the fastest speed of this motorcycle?"

   Mosquito said in a positive tone.

   "There is no problem with 100 yards! But I don't recommend driving so fast. Given the road conditions outside, I'm afraid a bump can make it fly."

  Chu Guang nodded, expressing his understanding.

  Although he has never ridden a motorcycle, he has ridden a battery scooter, and he can imagine that scene with a little imagination.

"good."

  “Although there are still many areas for improvement, it is good to be able to do this.”

   "With this thing, our mobility on the battlefield will increase a lot. Thank you for your contribution to the revival of the People's Federation."

   Didn't expect his invention to get such a high evaluation from the leader of the faction, Mosquito suddenly showed a flattered expression on his face.

  Restraining the excitement in his heart, he said excitedly.

   "It is my honor to share your worries!"

Order!

  Silver coins!

  The most important thing is that my invention has been recognized!

  When he thought of his favorite work, which could be put on the NPC store and picked by the players of the whole server, Mosquito couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement.

   Who else dares to say that his invention is useless?

   Who else dares to say that his creation is superfluous?

Um?

   Just ask who else!

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

   "Is this kind of engine troublesome to make? And that... uh, 'Death Breath' motorcycle, how much can you produce in a month?"

   Mosquito said with a smile.

   "No trouble! As long as the supply of materials is sufficient and the order from the steel factory can be arranged, there is no problem in assembling one in three days! If it is quick, two days will do!"

  Three days.

   a little slower.

   I'm afraid I have to miss the current battle.

   But Chu Guang also knew that there was no other way.

   Large-scale production needs to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and currently 80% of the resources in the new industrial zone are concentrated in the production of weapons and ammunition. No matter how mobilized, it is impossible to conjure something that does not exist out of thin air.

  As for the vehicle, it can only be placed as the second priority for the time being.

  However, to Chu Guang's relief, Mosquito seems to have gotten the hang of it recently, and finally began to consider abandoning the production mode of small workshops, adapting to the needs of "versions", hiring other players and aborigines, and learning from Factory 81 to become bigger and stronger.

   This is undoubtedly a good start.

  …

   Issued an order to Goblin Technology through VM.

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

  However, not long after he returned to the base, he saw Wrench walking towards him with a serious expression.

   "My lord! The patrol team you deployed in the northeast has received news. They have witnessed a large number of predators in the area from the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experiment Base to the Dongliu camp."

   "They should come from the southern suburbs of TS City!"

   Is it finally here?

  For some reason, after hearing the news, instead of being nervous, Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

  Black Snake chose to launch an attack at this time, which is better than delaying it a month later, and he and Vanus had already expected that they would attack in advance.

  Looks like the marauders want to spend the winter in their cells.

Very good.

   Chu Guang looked at the wrench and ordered calmly.

   "Mobilize all soldiers."

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

  Wrench looked solemn and said in command.

   "Yes! Your Excellency."

  …

  Northeast of Qingquan City.

  A convoy consisting of twenty light trucks, eight armored pickups, and one tank is winding crookedly in a vast expanse of white snow at this moment, slowly creeping forward.

  In addition to the vehicles, there were hundreds of marauders and nearly a thousand slaves in shackles on the two wings of the convoy.

  Because they brought all their belongings, they marched very slowly.

   From time to time, trucks will get stuck in the snow due to bad road conditions, or get stuck by the terrain, and the slaves can only let the trucks be lifted.

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

   Sitting in the back seat of an armored pickup truck, Black Snake had an impatient expression on his face, and he couldn't help urging the driver to ask.

   "How long until we get there."

  The driver holding the steering wheel replied nervously.

   "Should be there before dark, my lord."

  Before dark...

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

  Knowing that it was useless to remind him, Black Snake cursed a few words in his heart, and continued to wait patiently.

  The night before yesterday, the scouts he sent to the south discovered that a fierce battle broke out in the direction of Changjiu Farm, during which a signal flare was also seen rising into the night sky.

  Although he didn't see the specific battle situation clearly, his scouts reported that at least 300 or more people were exchanging fire there when they heard the gunshots.

   Two or three centuries.

  It seems that his old friend Shiya has seen his intentions, and this time he is determined to get ahead of them. Before the snow melts, push the army 20 kilometers south, and directly eat a large area of ​​land in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

  Black Snake knew that he had to act.

  If you continue to wait until spring to start, I'm afraid you won't even have a mouthful of soup.

   Sitting next to the black snake, Vides said cautiously.

   "It's not a good idea to march in heavy snow. Our armored units can't give full play to their maneuverability in half a meter of snowdrifts."

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

  These heavy equipment will get stuck in the snow if they are not careful, and once they anchor in an inappropriate place, they are likely to become living 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 in the northern suburbs in the first two battles, they were only at the level of two centurions.

   And there are four of that kind of thing next to him alone, and six more have already set off 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 put the muzzle on their faces, and they will naturally surrender without armor.

"The blizzard has stopped, and the most difficult time is over. Our infantry will clear the obstacles ahead, and our armored troops and supply trains will follow. If the situation is optimistic, we will be able to live in their houses tomorrow night and sleep with them bed."

  Wades asked.

   "What if the situation is not optimistic?"

"The day after tomorrow," Black Snake patted Vaders on the shoulder, with a happy expression on his face, "Don't worry, my friend, I know you like careful planning, but sometimes the ability to adapt to changing situations is very difficult. important."

  Wades shook his head and said.

   "This is not a war, this is a gamble."

   "Gambling? I don't hate that word."

  Black Snake continued with a smile.

   "I know what you are worried about. If our frontline troops are attacked, our tanks will not be able to rush up, right?"

  Wades: "…"

   Before he could speak, Black Snake continued proudly.

"This worry is completely unnecessary. We are not the only ones who encounter heavy snow, they are the same. No matter how long my battle line is, it is still within the range of artillery fire. Without vehicles, they will be like ants stuck in the snow Like a grasshopper, he was crushed to the ground by our artillery!"

   "What if they choose to attack our rear?" Wilders couldn't help but said, "If I were them, I would definitely not foolishly rush up from the front."

  A trace of displeasure floated on Black Snake's face.

  Although this staff officer can occasionally provide some very constructive suggestions, sometimes the words are really not nice.

   Especially he doesn't think attacking his own rear is a good idea.

"Do you think I didn't consider this situation? Otherwise, why would I leave four centurions behind? Even if they retreated 10,000 steps, they miraculously bypassed the troops in front of us and appeared behind us. Four centuries would be enough to overwhelm them."

   Besides, this is impossible.

  This winter is equal to everyone.

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

   Wanted to bypass the six centurions who were searching and advancing, they could only go around from the east, and they had to go around in a big circle.

  It is conservatively estimated that their marching route will be extended to 30 kilometers, and during this period, they will pass through large areas of snow, as well as scattered forests and ruins.

   Waiting for them to go around to the rear with that effort, maybe their armored troops have already entered the urban area of ​​Qingquan City!

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

  Even if the tank is stuck in the snow, at most it will get stuck on its tracks, and it will not affect its turret.

  With the cooperation of the four centurions, the dense bullets and cannonballs will swatt the damned bedbugs to death on the snow like flies!

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

  After listening to Black Snake's words, Vaders 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 this is a smart enough decision.

  If this guy were to be the commander of the expeditionary force, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to last a week, and they would be able to wipe out a million troops in three days.

  Wides sighed silently in his heart, and now he can only pray that the other side is also a group of laymen.

  However, I don't know why.

   Whenever he thinks this way, he feels restless in his heart.

   This is the intuition he developed when he fought against the people in the Great Rift Valley on the northern front, and this intuition has helped him avoid danger countless times.

  Will it really be so smooth?

  …

  At this moment, neither Wilders nor Black Snake, nor the patrol team following the convoy, noticed a pair of eyes staring intently at them on the snow **** 3 kilometers to the east.

  The front of the telescope was covered with gauze, and 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 uniquely shaped earphones.

   "Attention all the team leaders! The target has passed the marked area A and is moving to the area C on the map... They should want to go to the inter-provincial highway."

   "You're sure you won't let this big fish pass, are you?"

  In the sleeping bag not far away, Gu Feng fell asleep and lay dead offline. After a while, he had to go offline to call Gu Feng up.

  They've been on shift here for two days.

  In the past two days and nights, the two of them never returned to the base.

  Ye Shi himself didn't know how he persisted!

  The voices of the team leaders came from the communication channel.

  The mole on the run in the canyon: "Damn! Why don't you go from me!"

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

  On the snowy field 5 kilometers away from the target, Commander Quanshui, who was standing next to the truck, returned to the co-pilot seat and gave the battlefield atmosphere group who was sitting in the driver's seat a hand.

   "Drive, let's go to area C. Don't go up to people when you see them in a while, stop the car before fighting."

   "Are you coming? Fuck, this mission is really long enough... I almost got disconnected." The warfield guy shook his head and started the engine.

  Commander Quanshui ignored him, and pressed his index finger on the earphone.

  "The deployment is being transferred, the target C area... call the fringe team, those people are going straight in your direction, this time I'm afraid you will take the lead again."

  Beside the inter-provincial highway 4 kilometers away from the target.

  A team of players in white camouflage is crawling in the snow, behind them is a forest, and in front of them is a gentle slope.

   This is the closest road to the inter-provincial highway.

  Drawing water on the edge reached out and pressed it on the earphone, and answered calmly.

"receive."

  Ending the communication, he looked at the comrades behind him who were eager to try, took a deep breath slowly, and said with a serious expression.

   "Brothers, the enemy is heading straight for us, with only the last 4 kilometers left."

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

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

   "...Brother Brick, you aim at the track of the tank for a while, regardless of whether you hit it 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 gun" in front of him, the construction site boy and Brick said excitedly.

   "Leave it to me!"

   "+1," Lian Dayan took out the small robot from his backpack, and after confirming that the explosives were tied, he laughed and continued, "Should we open this time? I bet—"

   "Get out!"

   "I bet you a crow's mouth! You talk too much, hurry up and put the robot in front!"

  Seeing that the public outrage was aroused, Lian Dayan coughed dryly.

   "I was just kidding."

   This is going to be an uphill battle.

  The enemies they will face will be several times that of last time.

   Still, no one is afraid.

  While paddling on the edge of the water, I can feel the twinkling lights in the pupils beside me are excitement and the courage to face death as home.

  They will block all those robbers here.

   Want to pass?

   Then come and try it!

   Edge glanced at VM on his arm.

   A line of light blue text appeared on the screen.

  【Mission: Operation Codename "Spring Thunder"】

   This thunder.

   will shatter all darkness!
