Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Due to the impact of the natural disaster, the original railway transportation system was seriously damaged. Although the railway line has been restored to operation after the disaster regardless of the cost, the original electric locomotive is obviously unable to run. After all, most of the high-voltage power supply network along the line has been destroyed. of previous fires and shocks.

So now the railways of the Yan Kingdom are all old-fashioned steam locomotives.

Although the speed is not as fast as that of electric locomotives, in the current situation, this old-fashioned coal-burning locomotive is much more reliable than electric locomotives, and steam locomotives can run around with a coal locomotive attached, without the need for Supported by the high-voltage power supply network along the line, the maintenance requirements are also much smaller.

The railway does not mean that the track is laid and it is finished. The smooth transportation of the railway is very dependent on the maintenance of the railway. Now it is not as much as before the disaster. It is much more troublesome to maintain the normal use of the railway track than before. It can ensure the supply of important materials. Shipping has been difficult.

Hearing the roar of the train, Li Tou and the person in charge of the city government hurriedly adjusted themselves. One hurriedly finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, threw the cigarette butt to receive supplies, and the other signaled to his subordinates to let They are more vigilant.

With the sound of the train wheels, "What's more," a locomotive spewing white steam appeared from the darkness like a monster, the driver blew his whistle, and the harsh sound cut through the night sky, like the sound of some kind of giant beast. roar.

What came out of the darkness was indeed a monster. It was a giant beast wrapped in steel. The front of the car was sprayed with rich white steam, which filled the entire platform with white fog, and all of a sudden, the line of sight changed. got blurry.

And behind the front of the car spewing white steam, there are sections of steel behemoth "body". These carriages are covered with heavy metal armor and are full of shooting holes. There are also turrets on some of the carriages. In the fog, if a shadow appears, it is quite ferocious.

"Is this an armored train?" Li Tou was quite knowledgeable, so he naturally knew this kind of thing he had only seen in war movies.

This is something that appeared in World War I and World War II. Armed with armor and cannons, the train is used as a mobile fortress and firepower base. Relying on the mobility of the train, it can indeed effectively ensure the safety along the railway during the war. Used to transport important supplies as they are now.

But this armored train also has a big drawback, that is, it is extremely dependent on railways. As long as the rails are destroyed, although this armored train is powerful, it is not indestructible.

However, in the current situation, this armored train can be very useful for transporting important materials, and it can indeed effectively ensure the safety of materials.

"Really... Where is this old antique dragged out?" Li Tou looked at the armored train slowly entering the platform, and couldn't help but spit out a sentence, although he could see that it should be a new build, but the armored train itself, It can really be described as an antique.

The person in charge of the city government also felt that he could not bear the scene in front of him. He had also come to the railway station to receive supplies several times before, but those times were ordinary coal trucks and trucks, not as exaggerated as armored trains.

Looking at the turrets and shooting holes on those armored carriages, he couldn't help feeling a little horrified, and at the same time, he was shocked by the momentum displayed by this steel monster.

Compared to Li Tou and the person in charge of the city government who were shocked by the armored train, Qin Lan only felt a sense of magic when he looked at the steel monster driving out of the darkness.

"Is this the steampunk that Ah Xin used to talk about?" Qin Lan couldn't help muttering, and the sight in front of her made her only think of this adjective.

In the apocalypse without the sun, an armored train spitting steam and wrapped in steel, if it weren't for the reality after the apocalypse, Qin Lan would really think that this was a scene from a movie before the disaster.

But unfortunately, this kind of scene that can only be seen in movies or historical documentaries has become a reality in this post-apocalyptic world.

In the weather now that the temperature is gradually decreasing, and June is comparable to December, steam locomotives are indeed much more practical than electric locomotives in some ways, especially now that the railway's electric system has basically been reimbursed.

At present, in all parts of the Yan Kingdom, except for a few electric locomotives on railway lines that can still run, most of them have been replaced by steam locomotives.

As for why the armored train is pulled out again, on the one hand, it is to ensure the safety of important materials to be transported, and on the other hand, it is also to deter some people who feel that the times have changed, and we can carry forward the traditional art of railway guerrilla warfare. Don't take risks if you can.

So far, the destruction of railways and the looting of material transport trains have actually occurred in various places. It is also a practical need to use armored trains to transport these important materials.

Most of these people came from villages and towns. Before the disaster, they relied on village and town shelters to escape disaster. After the disaster, in order to obtain supplies, it is not impossible for groups to destroy railways and intercept trains.

Most of these village and town shelters were temporarily built three months before the disaster, and the people living in them were basically people from a village or neighboring villages. Most of them were relatives, and gang crimes were not uncommon.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the Yan Kingdom in the past. Private road cards were set up on the highway to block tolls, causing accidents to cause trucks to overturn and snatch the goods...

Usually the crime is committed in the whole village, relying on the law to not blame the public, even if the police go to many places, it will be of no use.

As for the conflict with the police, the overturning of the police car is not too many, but it is not a case.

Before the disaster, of course, these people did not dare to destroy the railway to derail the train, but for the train parked on the railway, these people never gave up the idea of ​​stealing from the train.

This was the case before the disaster. After the disaster, these people became more unscrupulous. So it is no wonder that the government of the Yan Kingdom will use armored trains to escort important supplies. After all, every vehicle is loaded with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives. equipment.

Under such a heavy responsibility, all these armored trains received military orders, and the people who performed the tasks were also soldiers.

The heavy armored train made a harsh braking sound and stopped on the platform.

The door of the car opened, and a group of soldiers with live ammunition came down first. After quickly forming a team on the platform to guard, an officer with a document in his hand walked out of the car.

Seeing the officer appearing, the person in charge of the city government hurriedly greeted him.

I have seen a TV series about army logistics before. In it, when an army train stopped in a certain mountain and waited to pass, a farmer knocked on the door of the carriage with a basket and asked the PLA who was escorting it if he wanted to buy something. Just pry the door and go up to steal things. As for the truth of this matter, I heard from friends on the railway that the case of trucks being stolen is very young these days, and it was not uncommon before.
