Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 440 The Wind Rises

50 million people may seem like a small number, but if you think about the Three Kingdoms period, the total population was only 22 million, but they dominated the entire continent at that time. Doesn't it seem even more sparse? 50 million people live in 18 conventional cities.

In the two special cities, there are still a lot of people, and the lively streets are no different from before the apocalypse. People walk side by side, restoring the bustling scene of the pedestrian streets before the apocalypse.

But if you think about it carefully, 50 million people is indeed a little less. Think about the former S city, which had nearly 13 million people, not to mention that it is now divided into 20 cities. On average, each city is only

It has a population of 2.5 million. Taking city No. 7 as an example, the streets are still a little deserted, with not many pedestrians on the streets.

After the work of the Chamber of Commerce, after wiping out the surviving populations of neighboring countries, although the integration has been somewhat smooth, no one dares to relax, because if the ethnic groups between countries want to truly integrate, it cannot be done in just half a year.

It may take several years, or even more than ten years, to achieve true integration. Therefore, controlling the systems of these five emerging cities is the top priority of the Chamber of Commerce.

There are a large number of soldiers stationed in five emerging cities, and there are walls surrounding the cities. Their function is not only to resist zombies, but also to prevent chaos within the city, and to control the entire city.

Purpose. The weapons installed on the city wall are all 360-degree rotating types. There is no blind spot, which can better defend the entire city both inside and outside.

High concentration of population has both advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage lies in having the largest resources in the last days in hand. And in the short term, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

In the offshore area of ​​City No. 1, Zhou Yuanqiang was rarely free. He was driving a luxury yacht with Ren Xinyun, Jia Keer and Shui Mulian, enjoying the fun of surfing outside the port. Due to the Chamber of Commerce

All transportation methods in China are dominated by railways and airships. Maritime transportation, an industry that used to occupy the most important transportation market, has become withered. In the port that used to be huge, except for people playing, there is no trace of cargo ships at all.

.

There may be another reason, that is, due to the chaos of the end of the world, foreign shipping routes have long ceased to exist. The main target of shipping is international shipping, followed by domestic shipping. Nowadays, there are almost no foreign countries, and the situation is unknown.

, naturally there can be no mention of sea transportation.

After being busy for more than half a year, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't need to worry about his body at all. The only thing that made him feel that he should relax was his spirit. After this series of actions of the Chamber of Commerce, every step was executed carefully.

It's not that he's afraid, but he doesn't want to cause any trouble in this bone eye, because the huge forces on the other side of the Pacific are always reminding Zhou Yuanqiang that this is still the end of the world where people cannibalize people.

Now that everything is going well, Zhou Yuanqiang naturally wants to hire three women to relax. After all, he is so busy that he has no time to accompany them.

Sometimes Zhou Yuanqiang can't figure out whether he has feelings or physical needs for the three of them. Zhou Yuanqiang is very confused about this issue. In his heart, Zhou Yuanqiang knows that he has more of a love for them.

It's just a physical need, because he can't do the same for them as he does for Yan Yuhe. It's really good to be in love for a long time, whether it's love or lust, at least Zhou Yuanqiang thinks that he still has feelings for the three of them.

Of the three women, to be honest, Jia Ke'er is the most beautiful one. She is also a star, and her charm is far beyond what Ren Xinyun and Shui Mulian can compare with. But Ren Xinyun belongs to the already-actressed stream and has a different flavor. And Shui Mulian

, she used to be a rich lady, and she has the flamboyance of other ladies in her personality. If you choose one alone, Jia Keer is the most satisfactory, but if you can choose three, Zhou Yuanqiang knows that these are three women with different styles.

You can find a different flavor in everyone.

"this is life!"

Zhou Yuanqiang looked at the three women in bikinis and smiled. Luxurious boats and women were things that he did not dare to think about before, but now he has them easily. In the Chamber of Commerce, as long as he needs them, everything will be available to him.

It is no longer a problem. Whatever is left in this world, you can take it by yourself.

Driving a yacht is indeed a bit exciting, but after playing for a long time, it becomes boring, so now the yachts are driven by guards. Zhou Yuanqiang was sitting on the deck, wearing big pants, lying on a chair,

While drinking ice-cold wine, I admired the three women having fun in the yacht swimming pool, enjoying this rare peace.

However, Zhou Yuanqiang knew that his so-called peace was actually coming to an end soon.

After this relaxing trip, when Zhou Yuanqiang returned to the chamber of commerce headquarters, Xu Yuhai was already waiting in the rest area of ​​the office. After seeing Zhou Yuanqiang come back, a rare smile appeared on his cold face and he said: "Boss,

Did you enjoy your trip?"

Zhou Yuanqiang was a little weird and said: "You are very strange today. You actually smiled." He smelled it with his sensitive nose and immediately smelled the fragrance of Xu Yuhai. He looked like he suddenly understood and said: "It seems that everyone is happy.

I am in high spirits, and even our intelligence chief is beginning to have good luck."

The woman that Xu Yuhai likes is generally known to the senior leaders of the chamber of commerce. She is a very ordinary girl. And Xu Yuhai is also interesting. He just uses his ordinary identity to contact her, and does not use his evil name as the intelligence chief of the chamber of commerce at all. In Xu Yuhai's words

, because of his identity, he is destined to find women, and they can only be ordinary women, because as long as he follows him, he is destined not to have a glorious life like others.

Since he can't give her a life of glory, why would he give up his identity as the intelligence minister?

When Zhou Yuanqiang heard Xu Yuhai's words, he was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and patted Xu Yuhai's shoulder without saying a word. However, a group of old buddies who came together stopped laughing and joking. On this point, they admired Xu Yuhai very much.

At least they can't be so selfless.

When Zhou Yuanqiang said this, Xu Yuhai just laughed for a while, then his face suddenly faded, and he returned to his ruthless intelligence chief state, saying: "Boss, judging from the collected intelligence, we are developing, and other countries are not either.

It may stop. The current intelligence level has risen to the yellow level. I believe it will not take long before it breaks through to the red level." He took out the intelligence he had prepared and handed it to Zhou Yuanqiang.

How could Zhou Yuanqiang not know what Xu Yuhai said? It’s just that there are more than 31 million unstable factors in the Chamber of Commerce. If they are not digested, they will still have a great impact on the next move of the Chamber of Commerce. As Xu Yuhai said, develop yourself

, others are also developing, and the Chamber of Commerce currently has advantages, but if this advantage is not turned into results, it will not take long for this advantage to be gradually drawn closer to others, and finally disappear.

He carefully looked at the intelligence in Xu Yuhai's hand, and his brows became more and more knitted, because the intelligence all showed that a new regime in the United States was developing at an unprecedented speed. They were conquering industry.

Chongshi once again obtained the huge weapons base of the former US military, especially the five aircraft carriers, whose combat effectiveness was astonishing.

Not only that, judging from the captured intelligence, this force originally called the Laboratory has a very terrifying warrior, which is the biochemical warrior. In terms of capabilities, they are even more ferocious than the crystal warriors. They

They are not afraid of virus infection at all. Every time they fight, they always rush to the front line and tear zombies alive. It is just the most common thing. From the satellite pictures, their speed is very fast, far ahead of the crystal warriors.

Maybe the other party also realized that all the satellites in the sky were destroyed, and there were satellites that could detect their every move, so they used high-power signal jammers. In some important areas, satellites could no longer capture any information.

Under the interference, everything looks like a snowflake.

This kind of thing that is out of the control of the Chamber of Commerce is certainly not something Xu Yuhai can tolerate, so after mobilizing more satellites to conduct all-round reconnaissance, he plans to send reconnaissance troops and transport them to the mainland of the United States on warships to obtain more information.

Detailed intelligence. Regarding intelligence work, Xu Yuhai did not dare to be careless at all. After all, the good things left by the original United States were far more than what the Chamber of Commerce has currently obtained. If the local forces obtain it, what will happen if there is no order?

It's hard to say.

After reading the information in Xu Yuhai's hands, Zhou Yuanqiang fell silent for a while.

Xu Yuhai said: "Boss, the more I lose control, the more panic I feel. Through our analysis of intelligence and the data of several ministers, the United States has built a

The large number of underground fortifications ensured that when an infection broke out, not as many people were infected as expected. According to our analysis, we finally concluded that the final surviving population in the United States was around 20 million."

In the apocalypse, a population of 20 million means too many things. You must know that the entire continent has a population of 1.5 billion, but only more than 30 million survived. After civil strife, the people who were eventually ruled by the Chamber of Commerce were just over 20 million.

If it were not for the action of the National People's Congress from abroad, I am afraid that in terms of population, the two sides would still be on the same starting line.

I didn’t know before without analyzing it, but now after a lot of intelligence analysis, I was shocked for a moment. Zhou Yuanqiang never thought that before the end of the world, the opponent had a population of only 400 million, but there would be such a high-level survivor. It’s conceivable.

You know how much pressure this number puts on the Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why America is really not unified is that there are dozens of forces among them. After nearly ten years of annexation, that is, in the middle of the last decade, there is only one force left in the entire America. This is the Laboratory. The entire America has been unified.

Judging from the intelligence obtained, the local laboratory has established a new regime. It has also used biological and chemical warriors to conquer cities in the hands of zombies. In terms of supplies, it has a larger reserve than the Chamber of Commerce.

Another aspect is that the new U.S. government, which possesses advanced weapons, has begun to field a large number of troops. In terms of armament, except for the giant steel ships, the Chamber of Commerce is lagging behind its opponent. If the opponent's number is around 20 million,

In terms of military strength, it is impossible to be inferior to the Chamber of Commerce.

The most powerful enemy in the Doomsday Chamber of Commerce, no need to guess, is the new US government in America.

Because of their small size and complicated power, Western countries did not extend their tentacles so quickly under disputes. From the intelligence, there are historical problems between Western countries. In this end of the world, both sides are

We were so angry that we couldn't sit together. Now it seems like a piece of loose sand.

The threat comes from across the Pacific.

Zhou Yuanqiang understood the reason for Xu Yuhai's anxiety, because the industrial capabilities of the United States are too strong, especially their research capabilities, which are even more frightening. The Chamber of Commerce's current advantages are crystal warriors and steel giants. If they cannot take advantage of

They have not taken action before developing it. Who knows what kind of terrifying war machine they will create with their capabilities?

Zhou Yuanqiang sighed. In this apocalyptic world, even if the tree wants to be still but the wind is not stopping, it is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Under the gaze of the great powers, how can you develop with peace of mind and live a life like a paradise? Want stability?

To live on earth, only by trampling others under your feet and obliterating the crisis will such a day come to pass.

"Strengthen intelligence work and dispatch special reconnaissance forces when necessary."

Xu Yuhai, who heard Zhou Yuanqiang's order, showed a smile, but it disappeared instantly. He nodded and said: "Boss, I think we should stop the manufacturing of other weapons and go all out to build star-rated battleships. I have a hunch that in the future,

War is the protagonist, and it is the only force we can rely on most."

This does not need Xu Yuhai, Zhou Yuanqiang also deeply agrees.

Now that he had decided, Zhou Yuanqiang went back to his busy work. The first thing he did was hold a military meeting of the Chamber of Commerce's senior leaders and formally put forward his own plan. Needless to say, everyone clearly understood this kind of crisis and did not need to

What Zhou Yuanqiang explained was unanimously approved.

After determining the military strategy of the entire chamber of commerce, Zhou Yuanqiang appeared in the industrial city and personally inspected the manufacturing line of steel battleships.

The Cloud-class battleship can be said to be an experimental product of the Chamber of Commerce. The manufacturing and assembly lines are semi-automatic. But when it has developed into a star-level battleship, the first newly established manufacturing line is fully automated, with intelligent system control and precision.

It is several levels higher than semi-automatic. Only assembly lines will have a small number of workers controlling large machines and manually transporting these huge parts.

If you stand on the manufacturing and assembly line, you will realize how small you are, because every machine here is huge. Especially the lifting machinery on the assembly line is towering into the sky. It is responsible for lifting huge pieces.

The incomparable steel armor is transported to the location, and then the staff controls the robot to assemble it.

Since star battleships are very different from cloud-class battleships, the manufacturing line can only be rebuilt. This has resulted in the current number of star battleships not being very large, and only one can be completed in a month.

From experimentation to final approval for production, there are only five ships so far.

The design of the star battleship is completely sci-fi, with two main guns and twelve secondary guns. In addition, there are more missile launch towers and forest-like anti-aircraft guns.

.This also armed it to the teeth, coupled with its harder armor, the missiles of fighter jets no longer have an effect on the armor of star battleships. It also has the ability to fight in space, which is the Chamber of Commerce's expansion into outer space.

The first battleship developed.

The two main guns of the battleship are placed on the left and right sides of the battleship's belly. It uses the newly developed crystal energy fission technology. After acceleration, once fired, it will be a disaster in the field, and it is completely small-yield.

The power of nuclear bombs. Compared with crystal warheads, it is more powerful and more lethal. It no longer only affects conductive objects. All objects within the explosion range will be destroyed.

The power of the secondary gun is not strong, but it is better than the fast firing speed because its energy storage time is very short. Unlike the main gun, which needs to gather too much crystallized energy, and after preliminary energy fission processing, it is often fired once.

It takes about five minutes.

It is precisely with the existence of crystal energy fission technology that future wars have become large-scale. The human sea tactic is simply unworkable in front of star battleships, because when the main cannon is fired, as long as there are people within the range

, there is absolutely no slag to be found, and it is no less powerful than a small nuclear bomb. Therefore, future war tactics must be changed, but focus on formation and coordination, and the other is the performance of the battleships between the two sides.

Although star battleships will be the main body of future wars, the cloud-class battleships are still in absolute aerial dominance at the current stage, so Zhou Yuanqiang did not order to stop, but went all out to manufacture. Five manufacturing lines were started at the same time, and within a month

, that is, five cloud-class battleships entered service in the army.

In July of the eleventh year of the apocalypse, as the seventh star warship left the assembly line and officially entered service to form the flagship of the Seventh Fleet, Zhou Yuanqiang knew that he had no time to wait any longer. At the same time, he did not want to give the other party too much.

At that time, the two sides were destined from the beginning to be enemies and not friends.

In August, except for the 6th and 7th fleets that stayed behind at the Chamber of Commerce, five fleets from the 1st to 5th formed the Eastern Expeditionary Army and began to slowly leave the Bingcheng Aviation Port to form the largest fleet in the history of the Chamber of Commerce in the air.

, as many as 505 giant steel ships, almost shrouding the entire military city in shadow. Then, they began to fly slowly eastward, passing through the industrial city, passing City No. 1, and entering the vast sky over the Pacific Ocean.
