Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 311 Mechanical Engineering Airship

"There is no danger around, you can land, you can land!"

The scout held up the telescope and repeatedly confirmed that there were no zombies in the mountains before calling the mechanical engineering airship to slowly land from an altitude of 3,000 meters.

Today's airships have developed to the point where they are no longer a single type of transportation, but are developing towards comprehensive utilization. The airship design bureau has become increasingly mature, and the airships they designed have even surpassed the modern concept of airships in use. Especially

The launch of mechanical engineering airships has brought the use of airships to its peak.

The mechanical engineering airship is a combination of various types of machinery in a gondola. It can carry out aerial operations, sea operations, land operations, mountains, canyons and other terrain operations. It is the most important maintenance and construction force of the Chamber of Commerce and is responsible for large-scale construction.

The important task of building the building.

When the mechanical engineering airship in the sky landed next to the railway that had been abandoned for several years, it was an abandoned field with overgrown weeds as tall as a man, and part of it was gradually turning yellow in the September sky.

There are more than ten levels of mechanical engineering airships in size. This one is of the same level as a military airship. It has a huge body and is also a mechanical engineering airship for outdoor operations. When it landed in this patch of weeds, the door of the pod

After opening it, a dozen soldiers rushed out first, half on guard and half pulling out the ropes hidden at the bottom of the pod, looking for trees where the airship could be fixed.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no danger, more than 20 maintenance engineers wearing blue work clothes and blue helmets walked out of the airship. They carried tool boxes and, escorted by soldiers, quickly cut open the railway.

The low bushes on the side lead to the railway line.

Because it had not been used for several years, the railway tracks were covered with rust, and a large number of weeds grew on the gravel-covered railway, almost covering it up.

Of course, for trains, weeds will not affect their normal operation, and they are not the real reason for the arrival of engineers. What affects the trains are the broken trees on both sides of the railway, and the long-term loss of trees.

Without care, some places collapsed under the wash of rain.

What's more serious is that the rails are missing and displaced...

Since the Chamber of Commerce proposed to resume railway transportation, the railway from Qingyuan City to Qaidam Basin and to Lenghu has been repaired by the Chamber of Commerce. If there are no accidents, the railway will also become the most important link between Lenghu and Tianzhou City.

One way is to completely solve the problem of people having difficulty traveling and having to rely on airships.

However, the railway has not been used in the past six and a half years, and various problems have arisen, which require the Chamber of Commerce to spend a lot of time and manpower to repair them.

And there is another problem. When the railway is put into use, the area it passes through is very large, and it will pass through some cities, towns, counties, mountains, etc. The large number of zombies has become an important resistance to the use of the railway. Perhaps the only thing that is fortunate

Yes, this section of railway leading to Cold Lake is completely within the detection range of the Chamber of Commerce, and the environment here is sparsely populated, so there is no need to worry about zombies.

The Chamber of Commerce dispatched a total of ten mechanical engineering airships and a large number of personnel to be responsible for the maintenance of the entire railway.

The current ship is just one of the ten ships. They are composed of soldiers, crew members, maintenance engineers, and scouts, working together to deal with a series of problems encountered along the railway.

In fact, many road sections have minor problems, but for trains, any minor problems may cause fatal danger. This also increases the workload of maintenance engineers. Mechanical engineering airships are almost stop-and-go.

, up, up, down, down.

The problem with this section of the railway is not that big. The main problem is that a slope where the railway passes has slipped and the debris needs to be cleared away.

The popularity of communicators allowed the maintenance engineers who found the problem to quickly call the mechanical engineering airship parked nearby. After it took off, it sailed at a low altitude to this slope.

The machine started, and amid the roar, one of the excavation arms was activated.

The crew members who control the mechanical engineering airship all have rich experience in airship driving. Under their control, the mechanical engineering airship can accurately land to the height they want and carry out operations. The flexible excavation arm can move a large number of objects below.

The soil is dug up, and under the work of a dozen small propellers distributed around the mechanical engineering airship, it can be flexibly moved forward, backward, left, and right, and finally the mud and rocks are moved to the wasteland next to it.

After most of the mud and rocks are cleaned, the detailed steps can only be completed manually.

After clearing all the debris, the engineers tested the normal problems of the rails. After confirming that they met the railway standards and could pass the train normally, they packed everything up and returned to the mechanical engineering airship. They took off again and slowly moved along the

Continue to move forward along the railway.

Before the end of the world, there were still a large number of trains running on the railway, so inevitably, after traveling along the road for more than an hour, the machine-gun engineering airship finally saw a half-derailed train, with its front end and half of its carriages stuck.

In the fields next to it, over the years, the green paint on the carriages has peeled off, revealing the rust inside that bloomed like flowers.

Over the past few years, some of the people who died on the train turned into zombies and did not leave here, but wandered around nearby.

Maybe it's because they are surrounded by wilderness. They almost look like clay figures because their bodies are covered with mud and there is some moss growing on them.

Originally, the scouts on the mechanical engineering airship didn't pay attention, thinking they were some mud balls, a little like people. But who knew that when the mechanical engineering airship approached, the sound of the engine seemed to make them feel sad, and one by one they started to move.

It climbed up from the mud, like a clay figure, with teeth and claws.

As for the zombies lying on the railway, covered with small weeds and moss, if they had not been alarmed by the sound and climbed up from the railway, they would not have thought that this pile of moss was a pile of moss in the high altitude, even with a telescope.

Damn, it's going to be a zombie that can deliver a fatal blow, right?

Seeing zombies in this state for the first time really scared everyone on the mechanical engineering airship. They were secretly lucky and allowed the airship to enter an absolutely safe high altitude.

The appearance of bird corpses makes the sky no longer absolutely safe. A mechanical engineering airship sailing alone is still very dangerous. However, the analysis of the intelligence department and the ubiquitous reconnaissance aircraft have long confirmed that birds

There were not many corpses, and there were no bird corpses in this area.

Because they were covered in mud, these zombies instantly had a name that was different from other zombies: mud zombies.

After observing for a while in the sky, there were only about a hundred zombies left in the train below, and they were no different from ordinary zombies. No special infected were found. Their only skills, let's call them skills, were

They use the moss and weeds on their bodies to camouflage themselves, making it easy for people to enter their lurking areas without knowing it.

Hundreds of zombies are a very easy thing for the dozen soldiers equipped on the mechanical engineering airship.

A little further away, a dozen soldiers were put down, and the mechanical engineering airship took off again, hovering over the train that rushed off the track, making a lot of noise to lure out the zombies that might still be lurking.

This effect is really good, a few more zombies crawled out of the broken carriage of the train.

It may be that they were seriously injured when the train derailed. Through the telescope, you can clearly see that they are all mutilated, with some limbs broken. When they climbed out of the carriage, their arms were shaking and there was a little bit of tendon.

Connecting.

Not only these few, but also the people who were thrown out during the derailment and fell into the farmland at that time. After turning into zombies, they actually rolled out of the quagmire with the farmland as a point and lurked in the quagmire. They were in the quagmire.

When I climbed out of the quagmire and struggled to stand, mud was dripping all over my body, and there were thick strips of locusts adhering to it. The rotten flesh, while being covered with mud, turned out and turned white and rotten.

, there were faint white corpse insects moving inside.

This kind of strange zombies is really surprising. They can be said to be natural masters of lurking.

There are also a few rocket launchers and machine guns on the mechanical engineering airship, but you can't use them on the railway, right? Once the rockets hit it, everyone will be busy for most of the day, and it won't be worth it at all.

The soldiers who can be selected are all elites with strong combat effectiveness. Although it is only a guard team of a dozen, their combat effectiveness is not weak. As soon as they got off the airship, they immediately assigned what they should be responsible for and headed towards

Touch this derailed train.

Attracted by the sound of the airship hovering above, the zombies did not pay attention to the ground.

A dozen soldiers found a position, raised their guns and fired a burst. A dozen zombies who were closer to the front fell instantly. Their heads were hit, and mud and moss flew around the holes where the bullets were made.

.Maybe because they have stayed in such a humid place for a long time, their brains still retain a lot of water. When hit, the black liquid suddenly flows out.

Attracted by the gunshots, these mud corpses reacted like they had discovered delicious prey and pounced on them crazily.

A passenger train can carry at least one or two thousand passengers. According to the evolution probability of high-level zombies, there will be at least hundreds of high-level zombies. But I don’t know where these zombies have moved. The remaining zombies have no high-level ones.

There are no zombies or specially infected people. The seemingly mighty charge actually does not pose any threat.

Years of experience in dealing with zombies, as well as having participated in large-scale zombie wars, made these dozen soldiers calm and composed. They mainly used burst shooting to shoot the running zombies one by one, hitting their heads.

The entire battle lasted only about ten minutes, and all the hundreds of zombies fell on the railway tracks.

In order to ensure absolute safety, the soldiers approached carefully and shot each zombie in the head to prevent possible accidents.

This train has 33 carriages. Judging from the number, it should be an ultra-long-distance train that spans three provinces. Half of it derailed, and the other half remained on the track. It is not really confirmed that there are no zombies in the carriages inside.

Under the circumstances, the soldiers did not move forward. Instead, they put some people on alert and began to clean up the corpses on the iron track.

In order not to affect the opening of subsequent trains, it is not enough to just throw the body next to it.

Choose a place that will not affect the railway, dig a big pit, lift and throw the corpses down without even removing the crystals, then cover them with soil, use a piece of wood, and carve them with a knife on top

:The inscription on the cemetery for the victims of train xxx allows them to rest in peace after six and a half years of toil.

After waiting quietly for a while, the soldiers finally approached the train. After searching and finding no more zombies, they sent a signal to the mechanical engineering airship high in the sky.

This train definitely needs to be scrapped. If it is close to Qingyuan City, it can be moved back to provide tens of thousands of tons of steel. However, it is far away from Qingyuan City and has lost its use value. The only option is to move it out.

In addition to railways, it may not be possible to reuse the steel in it many years later.

A 33-car train is considered a big one. There is no need to worry about the dozen or so cars that have derailed, but the dozen or so cars that are still on the railway must be cleaned up.

If it is artificial, there is indeed nothing that can be done about it, but the emergence of mechanical engineering airships has changed this difficulty. You must know that the load capacity of this mechanical engineering airship is the same as that of a military airship, and it can carry a weight of 125 tons. Naturally,

It can play the important role of a crane.

However, it was impossible to solve more than a dozen carriages at once, so the maintenance engineers could only disconnect the connections between each carriage, and then tied the disconnected carriages with the help of steel wire ropes.

A strong carrying capacity, for an airship, means a strong lift-off capability.

When the steel wire cable was fixed on the pod, the mechanical engineering airship slowly rose up, lifted the carriage bit by bit, got off the rails, moved out to the field next to it, and landed again, lifting the carriage.

The carriage was put down.

A seemingly simple task takes half an hour for each carriage.

It was busy until the afternoon to deal with the dozen or so carriages. The damaged rails were on the mechanical engineering airship. After the damaged ones were removed, it was not very difficult to replace them.

When the mechanical engineering airship took off and left, this section of the damaged railway had been repaired.

Abandoned carriages, more than a dozen that plunged into the fields, a new grave mound nearby, and more than a dozen brand-new railroad tracks prove that changes have taken place here.

With the investment of ten mechanical engineering airships and a large number of personnel, they were divided into ten teams and set off. This repair efficiency is still very satisfactory. They not only repaired some lost mud and stone areas, but also repaired some misaligned railway tracks in the stations.

I also tried my best to connect to the railway to Cold Lake.

While these people were busy, several locomotives parked at the Qingyuan City Railway Station were restored successfully with the efforts of everyone, making the sound of "woo-woo" pumps.

But this does not mean that the railway can be opened and put into use.

In the area where the railway passes, there are still zombies in several counties, and the Chamber of Commerce still needs to send troops to deal with these zombies.

For the chamber of commerce that already has long-range combat capabilities, this is an opportunity to train troops and test its long-range combat capabilities. Among the towns and counties listed, the number of zombies is not very large, and the largest number is only ten.

Around tens of thousands.

The official commissioning of the Bird's Nest aircraft carrier also announced that the development of the Chamber of Commerce's air force has reached a new level. It will also serve as the main force of the Chamber of Commerce's long-range operations. Its first task is to clear out the nests of zombies in some counties that block the operation of the railway.

.

As the smallest airship-type aircraft carrier planned by the Chamber of Commerce, it is a light aircraft carrier. Its number will not be too many. Initially, three ships will be built to form four light aircraft carrier formations, which will be deployed in four directions and will be stationed.

At the chamber of commerce headquarters, Hotianzhou branch and Lenghu branch.

Although the new airship aircraft carrier under construction has not yet been named and classified, there is no doubt that it will belong to the super aircraft carrier.

At the end of September, the Bird's Nest aircraft carrier left Qingyuan City and began to carry out a crime plan along the railway route. It will clear out existing and possible threats on the entire railway within a week, including

Zombies beside and near railways. Some areas where there are main roads leading to railways and may be attracted by the sound of trains are also within the range of their nests.

The dispatch of the Bird's Nest aircraft carrier means that the day when it will be opened to traffic will not be too far away.

The ten returning mechanical engineering airships and all the personnel were naturally warmly welcomed by the Chamber of Commerce. However, they only rested for three days and once again set out on the road to repair the railway. This time their task was even more arduous because they

The railway to be restored is the railway from Qingyuan City to Lanxi Plateau.

Compared with the railway line from Qingyuan City to Lenghu, it is not very long, and the area is not densely populated. However, unlike the railway passing through Lanxi Plateau, the harsh environment is a problem, and several first- and second-tier cities are needed.

existence, as well as crossing some rivers and deserts.

The difficulty is definitely several times that of the Qingleng Railway that has just been repaired, and the risk will be exponentially higher.

However, this railway is of immeasurable value to the importance and strategic planning of the Chamber of Commerce. Its significance is no less than that of the Qingleng Railway. If this railway can be opened to traffic, it means that the Chamber of Commerce's large-scale integration plan can be implemented in advance.

.

You must know that the nearly three million people on the Lanxi Plateau are an irresistible temptation. More importantly, the Chamber of Commerce's influence on the Lanxi Plateau is increasing day by day. In the minds of everyone, the Lanxi Plateau is already regarded as the

It is absolutely impossible for a part of the Chamber of Commerce to be influenced by others.

The rapid development of the Chamber of Commerce requires a large population. In Zhou Yuanqiang's view, the people on the Lanxi Plateau mostly work on cultivated land, which seriously wastes a lot of manpower. It is necessary for him to correct their way of life and let them create

Come out with higher value.
