Ye Han really wanted to ask where such a waste of electricity came from!
From where he was, he could see Chibao Town in the distance. The huge town was pitch dark, with no lights visible, indicating that the power supply here was insufficient.
If Bian Ge knew what Ye Han was thinking, he would definitely say with disdain that Ye Han was too idle.
Before Ye Han could figure out the reason, another train passed by at high speed. It wasn't until the fourth train passed by that Chibao Bridge returned to peace.
Bian Ge's voice sounded: "Ye Han, retreat, meet at the north of the bridge."
"Got it, no need to guard the south side?"
"No."
Ye Han immediately directed the troops to cross the bridge, the armored vehicle drove onto the railway track, and its wheels crossed the track and drove to the other side.
The troops were driving in the middle of the bridge. Ye Han looked sideways at the river under the bridge and asked, "Is there a new mission?" The troops withdrew to the north bank instead of returning to the relatively safe south bank. This is very telling.
"The boss gave me the coordinates and ordered us to rush there immediately," Bian Ge said.
"Where's the bridge? Just leave it here and ignore it?"
"At present, the insect swarm cannot threaten here, and our mission target is to the west."
Ye Han was startled when he heard this: "Stop the insect swarm?"
"That's right." Bian Ge said, "Don't worry about it. Brother troops have been arranged to take over."
"I'm just asking." The communication was interrupted, and Ye Han retreated into the car and closed his eyes to rest.
Driving at night must be done at a lower speed to ensure safety, and due to poor road conditions, the convoy’s traveling speed is only half of that during the day.
The road the convoy was traveling on was not far from the railway. For more than an hour, several trains continued to pass by on the railway. At around ten o'clock in the night, the convoy finally arrived near the destination. It was still a few kilometers away from the target. Ye Han
I saw several particularly thick chimneys standing in a brightly lit area, with light white smoke coming out of the chimneys. In the thermal imaging camera mode, both the chimneys and the white smoke showed an unusually bright color, which was obviously because the temperature was not low.
"Power station?" Even if Ye Han couldn't recognize the unique chimney of a power station, he could still see the lights everywhere. Even Beidu didn't dare to act like this at the moment, so only power stations dared to do this.
Why the railways have electricity is also explained.
The convoy continued to drive, but was stopped by a checkpoint as it approached the power station. After identifying itself, it entered the factory and parked in a large parking lot.
Ye Han took a look at the map and found that the location of the power station was almost the center of Shayuan and Chibao. To the southwest of the power station was the Huangsha River, and the straight-line distance was less than one kilometer. However, he did not remember passing by it when he was rushing to the Chibao Bridge.
This place.
"Ye Han, come to my place!" Bian Ge said on the radio.
Ye Han jumped out of the armored vehicle and glanced around to find a few people at the parking lot, including Bian Ge.
After running all the way and getting closer, I saw clearly that there was a senior colonel standing in front of Bian Ge, and several others were also school-level officers.
Ye Han quickly saluted.
Bian Ge introduced: "This is my deputy Ye Han."
The colonel returned the favor: "To make a long story short, I need you to set up defenses on the west side of the power station to buy time for my troops."
"Where is the specific location?" Bian Ge asked.
"Due west!" said the colonel.
"Understood, we will be in position immediately!" Bian Ge agreed happily and turned around and said, "Ye Han, let's arrange three lines of defense. You lead a squadron forward and find a suitable place."
The troops set off again and when they drove out of the power plant, they found a large number of engineering personnel affiliated with the military gathered outside the power plant. Busy engineering personnel were fixing cylindrical steel frames, one every twenty meters.
This thing doesn't look like a machine gun tower, and it's hard to see what purpose it has.
The engineering staff turned a blind eye to the passing armored convoy, which aroused Ye Han's curiosity even more.
The troops found a small plain two kilometers west of the power plant with a wide view and suitable for exerting superior firepower. After arranging the armored vehicles in a line, the position was established.
Ye Han got out of the armored vehicle and looked at the power plant in the distance. He turned on the radio and asked: "Captain Bian, what do you mean by sending us here? The insect swarm is coming soon?"
"The insect swarm is not slow. It will take another three or four hours to get here. The orders from Beidu require us to protect the engineering troops at all costs."
Ye Han snorted disdainfully: "At any cost, can't we get something fresh?"
"Then you might as well hope that the subsequent projects will be completed soon." Bian Ge said with a smile.
"What are you busy with in the evening?" Ye Han poked his head curiously.
"I heard it's some kind of defense net."
"I see there are quite a few machine gun towers in the power plant..." Ye Han stopped himself mid-sentence.
Although there are many machine gun towers in the power plant, the defense limit of the machine gun towers can be roughly judged from the distribution of the machine gun towers. The machine gun towers alone cannot stop the intensive charge of the insect swarm.
But the density of the columns erected by the engineers is not high. Can they block the insect swarm? Or do the engineers have other supporting plans? It can't be to build a power grid outside the power plant, right?
Ye Han couldn't think of an answer, so he retreated into the car and waited for the subsequent project to be completed, and successfully used the satellite to see the location of the insect swarm.
Unexpectedly, the swarm of insects had actually walked two-thirds of the way between the sand source and the power plant. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. These insects attacked the sand source during the day and migrated at night. Don't they need to rest?
At the current speed of the insect swarm, it is estimated that it will take less than three hours to reach the power plant.
Ye Han used the radio to find Bian Ge and explained the situation he had just discovered: "Captain Bian, it is not a good idea to stay here and wait for the insects. I suggest that the troops take the initiative and drag the insect swarms north to buy more time.
.”
If the insect swarm reaches the power plant, the troops can only block the hard-top insect swarm in front of the power plant. Although the wolf insect has nothing to do with the armored vehicle, this kind of battle that an idiot can fight is really stupid, and it also has to bear the possibility of the insect swarm at any time.
Pressure to break through the defense.
On the contrary, taking the initiative can avoid strategic passivity and drag the insect swarm away from the power plant. The insect swarm has no chance of approaching, and naturally there is no breakthrough.
After hearing this, Bian Ge sighed and said after a moment of silence: "That senior colonel is the commander here, and we all have to listen to him."
"Then tell him!" Ye Han said matter-of-factly.
"I'll try." Bian Ge said and started to contact the colonel. More than a minute later, Ye Han heard Bian Ge's voice again, "No, he doesn't agree. He said that there is a chance of failure in taking the initiative, and the nuclear power plant must be foolproof.
No one is allowed to act without authorization..."
"Nuclear power plant?" Ye Han gasped, "You said this place is a nuclear power plant?"
