Chapter 831 Unexpected degree of development (two-in-one chapter)
(This chapter is still about the apocalyptic world, you can skip it if you don’t like it)
Zhongzhou Port is actually the port next to the former Yangshan Island and the settlement of Zhongzhou tribe.
Over the past few years, after Hu Biao and Tu Tumen continued to dredge the channel, build berths, and install related facilities, it has become a large port.
It can barely dock a giant ship of more than 50,000 tons, and has corresponding rapid loading and unloading capabilities.
In the surrounding area of the terminal, there is also a professional port with ship repair, shipbuilding, warehouse storage, and many other supporting facilities and capabilities.
Now it is classified as a dual-use area for both military and civilian use, which can be regarded as half of the area divided into one system.
Today is also here at Zhongzhou Port. The exploration fleet of the Zhongzhou tribe will officially set off. It can be regarded as the first time to go to sea for the first time and begin to explore the former surrounding Guojia.
Rather than just moving around domestic regions like before.
It is precisely for such a reason, and it also represents the great significance of the force that one belongs to, finally going out of the country.
This time, so many people from all over the Central Continent team came to see them off.
As soon as he arrived here, Zhan Ge hugged an old SLR camera and kept taking photos of the photographer as souvenirs.
After all, he has a hobby of taking pictures.
On the other hand, he was thinking about photographing the changes little by little in the development process of the tribe, so that they would become some important historical documents in the future.
Although in such a process, once the team members enter the camera, they will subconsciously make a majestic posture with their chests raised and their abdomens drawn back.
Or maybe he made a scissor hand gesture, which was very deliberately pretentious...
The absolute protagonist in today's series of filming of "War Song" is undoubtedly the small fleet in the middle of the huge port.
There is no way! With the help of the Rabbit family in the modern plane, they can come up with the most appropriate power in a short period of time.
It's not that they don't have better warships, nor that they are reluctant to give them to Hu Biao and the others, but that some of the warships are too advanced to be inferior to ultra-low-value items and cannot be brought over at all.
Think about it, given how wealthy the Rabbit family is today, now even the maritime private sector and the fishery administration department have replaced them with the early models of the phased out Type 054.
With the importance shown by Hu Biao and others, there is absolutely no problem in getting two ships.
It's a pity that even if you get it, you can't bring it with you.
What we can currently count on are the Type 065 Jiangnan class frigates and the early models in the huge 053 class frigate series.
In addition! The scale of the fleet is limited, which is also related to the manpower.
Even though the surface power of the Zhongzhou Tribe has been in operation for several years, they have also trained a lot of barely qualified crew members.
But these qualified crew members can’t all be stuffed into the fleet, right?
A considerable part should always be retained to patrol the territory, transport materials, and continue to maintain the production and life of the entire tribe.
Therefore, even for these small ships sealed by the PLA, Hu Biao does not want a large number. The main reason is that he knows that so far, he can only operate so many of them.
But then again, the scale is smaller.
But this exploration fleet of the Central Continent tribe is not weak at all in terms of strength in this year.
First of all, the main combat power of the fleet is a total of 4 Type 037 hunting submarines. Although this guy is not big in tonnage, the PLA achieved a lot of results with this thing when it was in dire straits.
The main reason is that this thing has two twin 57mm cannons, which not only have an effective range of 6 kilometers on land and sea.
It can also shoot up to 70 rounds per minute, which has a rate of fire similar to that of an assault rifle; once it takes action, it will rain bullets all over your face.
Because there are old-fashioned search and gun aiming radars on the ship, the accuracy of bombardment is also good.
In addition, considering that in the near future, the Central Continent team will not need to face any submarines.
Therefore, before taking over, PLA helped make certain modifications; specifically, it weakened part of the anti-submarine capabilities and modified four of the rocket depth charge launchers into the correct type of 107 mm rockets.
In addition, some high-level two-fire heavy machine guns and 23mm cannons are added to the ship.
Therefore, although this little guy has a small tonnage, it is completely a firepower hedgehog; indeed in the modern dimension, it is jokingly called by many military fans: Yellow Water Battleship, Offshore Iowa.
In addition, a total of 4 067 landing craft were obtained from PLA, and all of them were dispatched this time.
Each of the three ships was equipped with a platoon of troops, and when added together, it happened to be the strength of a marine company.
The remaining ship was loaded with company headquarters and their related equipment.
Each of this type 067 landing craft is equipped with four 25mm anti-aircraft guns. These can also attack the ground, so the firepower is actually quite powerful.
The final composition of the exploration fleet is three cargo ships of 1,200 tons, 1,400 tons, and 2,000 tons respectively.
But there was only one 2,000-ton cargo ship inside, which was a supply ship for the exploration fleet.
The remaining two ships carry almost 150 armed personnel, as well as some living supplies and tools; they are planned to be halfway on the way, which is about a thousand kilometers away from Yangshan.
Find a suitable location to build a transit and supply port.
It can be regarded as an important stronghold for controlling the surrounding sea areas in the future.
So on those two ships, there is food, clothing, supplies, seeds and weapons, you can name it. As long as the local environment is not too bad, they can gradually develop.
Finally, at 8:08 in the morning, Husky set off with an exploration fleet of more than 700 people.
This time, he needs to stay in the doomsday world for 3 months; during this period, as the first commander of the fleet, he has been bringing out the rookies in his fleet.
At the moment they set sail, there were a total of 6 122-caliber howitzers on the shore.
Each of them fired three rounds in succession, a total of 18 rounds of blank ammunition, as a farewell salute to the Husky.
It should be noted that these 122mm caliber howitzers and the blank ammunition fired are the latest products produced by Zhongzhou Tribe First Heavy Industry.
Technically, it is completely processed and produced based on the Rabbit Type 54 122mm howitzer.
In addition to these, such as the Type 59 130 mm caliber cannon and the Type 66 152 caliber howitzer, after the hydraulic press of the First Heavy Industry was officially installed.
In the following period, imitations were also produced one by one.
The only pity is that Xu's indigenous technicians and workers are still a little behind in the relevant craftsmanship.
For example, a slightly smaller barrel with a caliber of 122 mm is better; but the life of the 152 mm barrel is limited, and the barrel is often replaced after 300 rounds...
*******
In this way, Hu Biao and the others sent Husky away.
Of course! Literally, it just sent him off with his fleet.
In the following time, Hu Biao began to seize the time and began to inspect the territory; during this process, he helplessly discovered that the development progress of this doomsday world was definitely affected.
Because most members of the team have recently put a large part of their energy into establishing the 'Tribal Discipline Department'.
Inevitably, all kinds of work will be affected to a certain extent.
After all, the 'Ministry of Discipline' is a double-edged sword. It operates independently of the civil affairs and military systems; if supervision is not effective during this period, it may develop into a cancer.
So before it was established, everyone was very cautious.
We invested considerable energy and after repeated discussions, we formulated some rules and regulations and internal supervision systems.
And even after it was established, there were so many reports all of a sudden that Bai Xiang could not handle it alone. It was not because many people from the team came to help that we achieved such great results in a short period of time.
Otherwise? There is no way Bai Xiang can handle the task of arresting, interrogating, and collecting evidence and materials of more than 80 people.
It was not the leadership of many members of the team that achieved such an effect.
However, even before taking action, Hu Biao knew that it would be affected and that the level of development in this apocalyptic world might not be satisfactory, the 'Tribal Discipline Department' would still be established on time.
This thing is like discovering an abscess on the body, squeezing it out in time and applying medicine.
It may be very painful at first and even work may be affected, but it can prevent the situation from getting worse.
As for the time wasted and the development progress dropped during this process, we just need to work harder in the future and continue to catch up.
In addition, during the last day of inspection, Hu Biao still found something to be happy about.
For example, through Baixiang's channel in Shanying's family and the inventory of Rabbit's family, we obtained a batch of fifth-level and sixth-level jet fighters, as well as some JJ-6 and K8 trainer aircraft.
But except for the beginner's guide 6 of the propeller, the indigenous airmen used it quite smoothly.
Among other jet aircraft, even professional trainers like the K8 fly very hard.
Fortunately, Mad Dog used the book "Elementary Aircraft Piloting Mastery" and became as good as a second-generation ace pilot. Fundamental changes immediately occurred after coming here this time.
Even when he was the busiest, Hu Biao did not dispatch Mad Dog to work, and always stayed in the air force as an instructor.
As a result, after 15 days, Yan Qiao and five or six other seed pilots had basically mastered the flying of the K8, with Mad Dog personally taking the flight.
With these seeds, it will become easier for the air force to develop from propellers to jets in the future...
While busy, Hu Biao and others arrived at 11:36 in the evening.
It is the last moment for such a system to allow everyone to stay within the normal 15-day period.
When the green portal showed up again, most of Hu Biao's people in the civil war team, including Hu Biao, walked directly into it and decisively returned to the modern plane. Only a very few people stayed behind.
The main reason is that the next system task may be very difficult and requires a large number of system points.
When they left this time, only a total of five people were left in the Zhongzhou team.
They were Husky, Mad Dog, White Elephant, Lao Yang and Xufeng. Hu Biao had carefully considered the matters that allowed these four people to stay.
Letting Huskies stay for three months has been mentioned above.
The exploration of the fleet is the top priority, and these 4500 points cannot be saved at all.
Mad Dog had to stay for a month. That was because the Sky Tribe was training on jet aircraft, and Hu Biao was still not at ease; it was just an extra insurance policy.
White Elephant needs to stay for two months, which is at least this long, in order to initially complete the first anti-corruption and malfeasance operation.
Lao Yang needs to stay for three months, which means he needs to continue exploring the Uzang area.
Half a year ago, the group of personnel who stayed at the branch base in Changnan did not have anything to do but put in a lot of work and hard work.
After a long journey, they explored a large area around them.
Finally, traces of the existence of a force were discovered on the Uzang Plateau, which should be the former LZD area, where there was an astonishing number of mutated creatures.
However, people from this force are very xenophobic. Once they approach the area where they operate, they will start fighting as soon as they meet, without giving any outsiders a chance to communicate.
As a last resort, the people at the Changnan branch base had no choice but to retreat.
Wait for Lao Yang, the local leader, to come over before we make any further calculations.
Today, Lao Yang appeared in the procession of seeing off the fleet. In fact, he had just gotten off the plane; he was coming back and was preparing to bring more elite forces and equipment to assist him in his operations.
Anyway, in the next three months, they wanted to figure out where the Rabbit family's organizational power went in the apocalyptic world of the past.
As for Xu Feng, he also needs to stay for three months.
What needs to be explained is that Xu Feng took the initiative to stay for three months because he planned to spend more time with Li Qun, who was pregnant with twins.
Because in terms of time, he couldn't be by Li Qun's side during her due date, so he could only compensate her a little in this way.
Hu Biao still agreed to Yu Xufeng's request from a group of four people.
The reason why Li Qun became pregnant was actually a small aspect; the main reason was that after Xu Feng stayed, it still played a big role.
That is to lead a group of people to carry out a huge transformation of the current power line network of Zhongzhou City.
When the power line network was laid out in the past, on the one hand, everyone's skills were limited, and on the other hand, money was too tight, so a lot of old wires were used.
Taken together, it can only be regarded as solving the basic problem of power supply.
As the scale of Zhongzhou City becomes larger and larger, the demand for electricity becomes more and more alarming, and these old power lines are overwhelmed.
Often some problems will arise every three days.
Even though they are just minor problems, when put together, they still have a great impact on production and life.
So taking advantage of the modern dimension of Xufeng, the professionals from the electric power company stayed, so that they could carry out the last line reconstruction, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone...
After returning to the modern plane, as expected, he was in a warehouse.
Secretary Liu prepared another large table of takeout and was waiting for the return of Hu Biao and others.
Hu Biao and Lang Qing, after washing themselves for a while, began to eat and drink while waiting for the system to announce the latest development ranking of the doomsday world.
I want to see if the ranking of the Zhongzhou team has dropped out of the top three after being affected this time.
Thanks to the astonishing difference in time flow between the two planes, Hu Biao didn't even have time to finish the large glass of cold beer in his hand when the system's icy sound began to sound.
But the content surprised Hu Biao and Lang Qing:
"We are now announcing the latest development progress of all system teams in the apocalyptic world; please keep up the leading teams, and please continue to work hard for the lagging teams.
Because the price of failure in this competition will ultimately be unimaginable to you.
First place, the Nordic team’s current development rate is 23.72%~
In second place, Team Maozi’s current development rate is 22.96%~
In third place, Zhongzhou Team’s current development rate is 22.81%~
Fourth place, the Persian team’s current development rate is 19.78%~
Ninth place, Uncle Sam’s team’s current development rate is 14.72%~
The 21st place, Minibus Team’s current development rate is 8.11%~
No. 71, Annan team’s current development level is 1.29%~
Number 125, the current development level of the island country team is 0%..."
After hastily listening to the above statement, the first reaction that came to Hu Biao and others' minds was:
Where is the miscalculation? Why not only did Zhongzhou Team's development rate not drop this time, but it increased a lot, almost catching up with the second-ranked Maozi Team.
Some of the subsequent reactions were that Uncle Sam's family has been developing quite rapidly recently, with one person rising.
He remembered that the Annan team was ranked 51st last time, and its development level was still in the early 20s. Why did it drop so much this time instead of rising?
As for the island country team, Hu Biao, who knew that he was still in the probationary period and was not even qualified to go to the doomsday world, didn't care at all.
Later, after the five stranded people returned, they reported their work to Hu Biao one by one.
Hu Biao finally understood why the above development rate was so strange.
It was in the third month of the stay that the exploration fleet led by Husky finally arrived at Guo Jia's territory in Annan.
After discovering a territory that was suspected to be run by the Annan team, the Huskies were not polite at all.
Taking advantage of one night, they launched a surprise attack. When no one from Annan's team was left behind, they first used naval guns and rocket launchers to clear the ground, knocking out some of their limited heavy firepower.
Then, the Marines came ashore under the cover of fleet fire. After seizing the opportunity to grab a batch of supplies, they set a fire on the rest.
In the end, the loss of the Annan team led to the huge gains of the Zhongzhou team...
