When taking a bath, leave a single bathroom for Johnny, and use high-speed water mist to clean in the most water-saving way.

Therefore, Johnny Boy spent his first lunar night on the floor wearing an extravehicular suit, because the oxygen cycle machine had not been installed, and the cabin was still in a vacuum state, unable to breathe, but the temperature had gradually begun to improve.

For this old man who needs to survive on the moon, installing all the equipment is only the first step. The second step is that he must find lunar ice within 30 days. If there is no hydroponic planting, that is to say He would starve to death on the moon.

The third step is to look for various minerals brought by meteorites, including phosphorus, sulfur, iron, etc., as well as the most critical carbon. Otherwise, organic matter cannot be synthesized, nutrient solution and material consumption for crop growth cannot be supplemented, and the carbon cycle cannot be expanded. , which means that his greenhouse ecology will collapse at an alarming rate.

Then there is mining of minerals, using military manufacturing equipment to expand the drone chain, and building solar cell arrays to supply energy, forming a small but complete cycle, otherwise it will be a dead end if the fuel that comes with it runs out.

And he hardly needs to expect Lao Xia to send him a new rocket from the planet, without an engine for interstellar flight, Lao Xia can't send heavy enough cargo to the moon, maybe wait for him to build some super mass launcher After the device is installed, it can be loaded directly into the cargo box, but that kind of thing is not expected in five or six years.

While Johnny was having a headache facing thousands of pages of assembly instructions and a lot of parts of communication equipment, nothing major happened on Lao Xia's side, or nothing that required him to handle it himself.

The operation of the group is quite good, probably because of the very high profitability and the relatively small number of personnel with high loyalty. Although the little tiger said that he would find a way to help him get some investment, after all, he still needs to first It is necessary to reserve enough working capital. After all, the appetite of those nobles is not so easy to estimate.

The Amiya logistics temporary supply station near Longmen, this temporary supply station composed of tents and crates is responsible for the rest and supply of the convoy on the transportation route.To expand business to Kazdel, there must be someone who is familiar with Kazdel to investigate the situation and select an initial breakthrough point, that is, Lao Xia needs to send a capable team.

However, it is not only difficult to choose candidates now, it can even be said that there are almost no suitable candidates. If he needs someone to kidnap and do things, then he has at least two professional mercenaries available.

But now what he needs are skilled lobbyists, exploration experts who are familiar with agriculture and geography, and business investigators who understand the power of business and money.

Whether it's Muyan, W or Skadi, they are all capable. Although the little killer whale doesn't want to go out to work, she is ordered to stay by Lao Xia's side and wait for further notice from the captain. If it is not necessary, she will not leave of.

There is no need to worry too much about the selection of candidates for the time being. After all, because W "supposedly" killed Teresis, now the entire Sarkaz near-unified forces have dissipated again. There is no ability but a popular demon king and ability Strong but unorthodox regents are gone.

If you use an old Chinese saying that "Qin loses its deer, the world chases it together", for the forces in the feudal era, death and the country's destruction is almost a certainty, especially when there is no qualified heir.

Therefore, the civil war in Sarkaz, which was gradually becoming more heated, has also stopped. This is not a good thing. It became full of gunpowder before because Teresi has accumulated considerable strength and is ready to start to unify Sarkaz. , and these battles are tentative outposts.

But now that Tracys is gone, the big nobles who originally supported him and his subordinates simply split up. This is not surprising. After all, reality is not a game or a "rational person" who only exists in fantasy—the most rational way It is to elect a new leader, which everyone can think of.

But who to choose?I really thought it was a matter of selecting the best and appointing the best, who has the ability to choose whom?What a joke, of course, the emperor is a strong soldier, and the abdication system of choosing the virtuous to abdicate has been dead for many years.

The current temporary cessation means that everyone is unwilling to compromise their own strength too much for the position of leader, and is waiting and watching, and trying to embezzle the political resources left by Tracys as much as possible.

Next, the conflicts in Sarkaz will become quite frequent, and they will enter the stage of accumulating soldiers, horses and food. During this stage, there must be weaker border nobles who cannot withstand the pressure. At this time, it is Lao Xia and the others. Best time to enter.

Only when the other party grabs the last straw can they get the most benefits at the least cost—and, at that time, it was all a mess, and it was really impossible, and armed intervention was not impossible.

If it wasn't for Terra not having evolved such things as treasury bonds and war bonds, Lao Xia was ready to buy a wave, what, what do you say you can't exchange them if you lose?

That is of course a decisive armed intervention to forcibly win and demand exchange—Wall Street can do it, so why can’t it?

There is still some time before the best period. In contrast, the more urgent thing is to refit the first land cruiser delivered by Victoria.

The modification and construction of large-scale equipment is not within the scope of Lao Xia's professional skills. All he can do is to provide various advanced wet parts and Star Alliance industrial products based on the suggestions made by the professional team recruited through the relationship of the Shihuaiya family.

He also recruited the Iron Triangle of the Rhode Island Engineering Department to serve as a technical consultant. This land-ship named "Arethusa (Goddess of the Forest and Spring)" is a standard Victorian third-generation Originium-powered armed transport ship. .

Six pairs of twelve sets of double crawlers provide support and driving power, with a folding sail stand, which can be accelerated by wind when necessary, and is more suitable for Kazdale and snow fields.

The entrance to the warehouse is located at the front, and the deck is flat, equipped with a large number of lifting and loading equipment. The weapons are two large turrets at the front and the back, loaded with Terra's Origin Stone City anti-aircraft guns, which require a squad of warlocks to operate. kind of stuff.

There are small ballistas on the side, multiple folding platforms for docking and jumping, and a drone take-off and landing platform, which can be said to be very well-designed and advanced equipment.

It is the latest armed land cruiser that is not equipped by the Victoria Fleet Army. However, in this era of "free market economy", this phenomenon is very common. After all, many ships are outdated after completion, and all kinds of weird New technologies emerge in endlessly.

Therefore, no one is surprised that Xia Lin hired a professional shipbuilding team or even hired engineers from the shipyard to consult and refit, because although it is currently the most advanced land cruiser, it is still outdated compared to Rhodes Island. Compared with the No. [-] ship in the Victoria Dockyard, which has just begun to lay its keel, the battleship using the fourth-generation Originium power technology is also outdated.

Originally, this ship was going to be delivered to the Royal Victoria Fleet. Because Lao Xia gave him a lot of money, I gave it to him. The Royal Fleet directly ordered two fourth-generation ships with the money. After the modification is completed, their new ship will arrive there.

"As for the modification plan, according to the requirements you gave...my suggestion is: dismantle it all." The staid Victorian gentleman in front of him said solemnly, "Well, just kidding, at least the warehouse and loading equipment are not damaged. Needs to be disassembled, but the powertrain and driveline improvements are too aggressive, we can't be sure about the reliability of your unit, and there may be some issues with the articulation"

"Honestly, Sir, the Originium Power Engine you use is too old."

"But it is reliable, whether it is in sandstorms, snowstorms, or being attacked by the enemy's jumping gangs and city-breaking ballistas, at most one or two supercharged cylinders will be lost, rather than all blown up."

"Uh...Sir, I have to say one thing, we are an armed civilian ship, not a Victorian warship. What we need is... performance, not reliability." The stranger thought for a while Said that this stubborn old man is not so easy to persuade - because he is the chief designer of this ship.

In the previous discussion or the "heavy debate" that was similar to full martial arts except not taking out the weapons, Sir William White felt that the original weapon set could indeed be replaced after seeing the power of the melta cannon, but he didn't quite understand it. Of course, this part of Lao Xia's electronic transformation plan will be left for later, after all, most of it is concentrated on the superstructure.

As for the power and engineering maintenance system, the two sides have almost no agreement at all. The stranger wants to use his complex transmission system like a clock, but the Jazz thinks it is too unreliable. Once lying down, it is not a Titan chariot. Well, the road wheels of this thing are taller than a three-story building, and it can't be dismantled without heavy equipment.

And Lao Xia is even more aggressive in preparing to use the track equipment of the Star Alliance. Regarding this part, Jazz partly agrees, because the new alloy he provided is indeed...much stronger than Terra's origin stone alloy, but for him Jazz doesn't trust the electromagnetic drive at all.

Victoria is at the forefront of the new discipline of electromagnetism, something he doesn't even know, this guy says it's feasible, isn't that nonsense-although Lao Xia's plan is really feasible.

The largest ground vehicle of the Star Alliance is almost a super aircraft carrier lying on the ground - "Mole-class mobile engineering ship", which is used for planetary transformation, which is almost equivalent to the purpose of a "light industrial mech" in a certain world.

Of course, ground warfare equipment can also be used. After all, there is nothing wrong with the "industrial machinery" used to blow up mountains, flatten hills, evaporate lakes, and blow up rivers to transfer the same effect to cities or fortresses.

In the end, Lao Xia resorted to the great method of transforming the jump engine. The microgravity field reduced the weight of the whole ship by 1/3 before reluctantly agreeing to the redundant improvement plan of Yike. Xia unanimously opposed the "Super Clock Tower" plan of the stranger.

You have the special ability to disintegrate and reassemble in a second, but others don't. What's more, even if it is the origin stone skill of the stranger, with the maximum power increase, it can't move the knife on a complex running mechanism of this level.

The armor part still adopts Lao Xia’s plan, which further reduces the weight of the whole ship. In order to stuff the pile of "leaf cold boxes" and "tower fire tube boilers" into it, the hull has been lengthened a lot. The entire renovation project is almost the biggest test for the Gantry Dock and all heavy industry employees.

Fortunately, most industrial problems can be condensed into three problems, power, materials and money. Lao Xia can solve most of these three problems, and there are no problems left.

"Boss Xia, have you considered serving the Victoria Navy?" After a whole month of quarreling and the almost endless expansion of the team, Jazz looked at the final plan dissatisfied and asked, "Your deflected shield And this suit of armor technology is very...advanced."

"The deflection shield is only one set. Don't ask why, it's an ancient relic." It can't be said that it fell from the spaceship. Besides, it's not the first day that the people of Terra have dug up a mess of relics.

"Armor materials cost 20 Longmen coins per ton. Do you have any money?"

"......Hmm..." Sir William thought for a long time, and seemed to be seriously considering that firing a few generals would be enough to refit the battleship, and finally he sighed.

The Royal Fleet is indeed rich, but there are many ships and generals, and the pressure on the border is also high. This kind of super expensive armor, although with better performance, may not be very convincing to the gentlemen of the Finance Committee.

After all, in Terra, which lacks high-precision rapid-fire large-caliber artillery, the number of ships is more demanding than the quality of armor. After all, no matter how strong the armor is, it cannot withstand a group of hunks.

"Okay, let's finish this project first, shouldn't your second ship also use this set?"

"No, I still use the fourth-generation source stone power, and my power system is not much more advanced than this." Covenant fusion nuclear power.

"But the weapon system and the hull structure system can consider my plan"

"Well, lightweight honeycomb skeleton and inlaid armor structure, but this has great requirements for manufacturing technology and materials."

"I can sell a batch of Longyan cutting machines and hot-melt welding machines as appropriate." Anyway, Victoria got these tools for production, and it is reasonable to help them upgrade the tools when they are expected to be used by the other party's shipyard in the future. .

The final structure is, on the basis of the original, to make the deck shorter, flatter and wider, and at the same time, the bridge is also taller, and the sail frame is canceled, replaced by Lao Xia's electronic system antenna, four or five hemispherical unknown objects Around the superstructure, the number of drone platforms on the side increases to 16.

On the side of the hull, there are additional rebound support brackets and induction antennas, which are said to be local devices for sensing ground echoes and avoiding sharp origin stone clusters.

The most eye-catching weapon system is a triple fusion in the front, a dual origin stone rail gun in the back, and two electromagnetic rapid-fire crossbows for the rebound gang on the side, Victoria's new technology, and Lao Xia's electromagnetic rapid-fire crossbow. Crossbows are different, they use coil reluctance to accelerate.

However, Lao Xia also left a large number of expansion brackets and plug-ins. Anyway, this era is mainly controlled by gunners, so there is no need to worry about the automatic control of the fire channel. The radar will directly send the involved elements to the belt through the neural processor. Inside the mind of the gunner wearing the Aiming Aid Helmet.

This means that the "nerve tree" wetware core is also a necessary modification product, which needs to be done by Lao Xia and his workers, because...for outsiders, it is too evil and scary, red The nerve bundles are everywhere in the hull, and of course when they are arranged and closed in the light red glue tube, they are no different from ordinary cables.

After that, you can add a rocket launcher. For missiles, if you haven’t found any wet parts that can do the guidance work, maybe you can try it with a pigeon head when you start raising pigeons?

The tower propeller and the W-shaped high-explosive warhead constitute this brand new rocket launcher system and secondary artillery system. Although there is still no way to manufacture gunpowder at low cost, Lao Xia has found a low-cost expansion propellant, which means that conventional Barrel cannons can now be manufactured.

"24 gas-propelled machine gun turrets, not to mention people, even a group of ants don't want to break through the interception fire net!" Due to the need to use a tower fire tube system, it can only be carried on ships, including as a low-cost expansion propellant Those things are all, the volume and ignition device are a bit large, and it is a bit difficult for individual soldiers or even small vehicles, but it is not a problem at all to install on a land cruiser.

"It's a miniature fleet." When six Titan chariots and a land ship stayed in the dock, it looked like a main fleet of Victoria was shrunk down and placed here, "I think this may have already Is it beyond the level of dealing with wild bandits?"

"Because I need to deal with the generals and dukes of Ursus," Old Xia said truthfully, and Sir William White immediately understood, and spat in a low voice, "The gang of northern barbarians and bandits."

Normal wild bandits will not come to rob. This kind of martial arts is enough to "convince people with reason" or even "convince" the teams of some small countries, but it is hard to say that the warlords of Ursus are part-time wild bandits, or part-time It's hard to say about the bandits of General Ursus.

Of course, they won't bite hard, but if you really don't have enough powerful equipment and weapons, you won't be able to scare them away. They don't want to be intimidated by appearance.

Of course, the deterrent power of the Titans is already there. At the cost of a certain Ursus transport team mysteriously disappearing in the wasteland, the moment when the two transport convoys are about to cross each other, perhaps they just exchanged a look, and the two sides reached a certain kind of agreement. consensus.

After some Ursus-style exchanges, there were two more carts of trophies behind the Titan convoy, while the local garrison lost several vehicles and supplies and an old assault boat.

Just like two armed merchant ships meeting in the age of great voyages, the two sides felt that they could test it a little at the first time, and if they were weak, they would immediately transfer to wild bandits. Obviously, the integration movement and The escort team of Amiya Logistics is more skilled-maybe there are actually some "professionals" who have been bandits before.

After the mini-convoy completes the replacement of the desert kit, it will take the "negotiation team" selected by Lao Xia to Kazdel. If all goes well, those dying nobles who only have one life-saving straw will not let go this opportunity.

If it doesn’t go well, it’s not impossible to use armed persuasion—the guillotine in one hand and the liberation of the serfs in the other hand, behind it is a mini land fleet that can actually be exchanged for one with the Victoria fleet. The effect may be higher than negotiation.

Of course, the cost is also high. After all, the cost of military operations is not generally low when the cannon is fired. The largest bad debt of the group.

However, the arrival of the Arethusa also resolved the biggest difference and gap between the Xia Group and the first-class Terra Group, that is, they do not have their own land fleet and armed warships. Therefore, companies such as Raytheon think that It's just the bottom of the first-rate or the top-notch group of the second-rate.

Chapter 52 Sitting Up in a Dying Sickness

The eastern city of Ursus, Chernobog, deep deck, as an ancient city of Ursas, Chernobog was built entirely on the remains of an ancient mobile city, especially its core area.

Layers upon layers of decks, all kinds of illegal buildings and shacks built indiscriminately over the past century form a labyrinth-like structure. No one knows what it looks like under the upper deck.

Ancient shelters, ancient abandoned cabins, modern slums, modern traffic decks and sewers are scattered and intertwined, piled up in layers, and irregular. Even holding the blueprints of the original city government can't find a way to move forward.

Only those rats who have lived underground all year round understand how to use these roads. On the lowest deck is the power core of Chernobog. No one knows how to maintain that system, and of course, it does not need maintenance.

On the lowest deck, the smell of rotting corpses travels through the pipes like ghosts, and the faint light sprinkled from overhead becomes bright and dark under the ventilation ceiling fan. This is a paradise for "rats", whether they are real rats or they are regarded as rats people.

"I've never been here, I'll feel comfortable here." The operator in snow monster gear clenched the weapon in his hand, "Maliciousness is everywhere."

"Don't talk, pass quietly." The uncle code-named Ace whispered, "We have our mission." A group of people walked through the dark underground passage, and the mice hidden at both ends were staring at them closely.

It seems that the neat and uniform professional equipment made them hesitate, wondering whether they should do it or not. Rats living underground often only have one chance. Once they fail, the only ending is death.

"The elevator is not far away." Kelsey, who was shrouded in a thick cloak, unbuttoned her hat, "Drive these guys away!"

The monster attached to the spine climbed out of the neckline, and the origin stone particles in the air quickly gathered to form a devil-like image, which quickly disappeared into the darkness, and soon the screams and exclamations of the mice came.

The so-called elevator is an ancient elevator with an unknown history. Terra machinery from almost every era can be found on it. Cables are interlaced with ancient gear chains. The latest gadget is a door lock that requires card authentication.

"Drip~" The old ID card was pasted on the machine, and the door opened.

"Hurry up, we don't have much time." The operators filed in, leaving two guards on the spot. It has to be said that Lao Xia equipped the snow monsters with complete equipment. The shadows in the darkness did not dare to show their heads.

No one will think that the strangely shaped firearms in their hands are just toys. In this kind of downtown, no weapon is a toy, and bluffing is useless. The lowest dumping area.

This is where the suspension system near the traveling mechanism of the mobile city is located. As long as the corpse is thrown down, it will disappear between the huge crawlers and the machinery, and then it will be easily run over during the migration and blended into the soil. No one can do it again. Find them out.

The elevator kept going down and soon arrived at the bottom of the entire mobile city. Compared with the filth and chaos above, this place looks relatively clean.

The channel is made of high-strength polymer, although there are still obvious traces of time, the water leaking from it left scorched yellow tear marks on the wall, and the floor is also somewhat potholed, covered with dust and a little moss.

There was silence, no sound, only the crisp sound of Kelsey's high-heeled shoes and the floor, as if walking in a corridor formed by an echoing wall, which seemed a little intrusive invisibly.

"Drip~" The arc-shaped door at the end of the corridor opened, revealing the decontamination channel behind. The ancient machinery had already lost its function. The nozzle on the wall only let out a few difficult roars, and no decontamination liquid was sprayed out.

"Ace" "Understood~" did not execute the decontamination procedure, and the error continued to circulate, causing the door at the end to not open at all, but this did not stop this group of people.
