Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1791: Building Manpower and Transforming Vehicles

"City Lord, people from the Military Research Institute and the Mechanical Repair Factory are here."

Just when Li Yu was almost done communicating with his uncle, Bai Jie walked in and said.

Outside the door, there were a dozen or so core military and industrial personnel following in a large crowd.

Such as He Bing, Lao Zhou, Xue Zhihua, Qin Feng, Ding Zhao, as well as Lao Dong and Zhang San who are responsible for power equipment.

These are the core personnel in the machinery R&D and manufacturing of the entire Dazhangshu base.

The base is equipped with zombie generators, super electric cars, giant electric permanent endurance versions, 2500-kilometer endurance electric trucks, RV permanent endurance versions, self-heating one-piece clothing, ultraviolet light helmets, and so on.

These inventions are the results of these two institutes.

Their inventions are very effective in dealing with various complex environments such as natural disasters.

"Let them in." Li Yu said, raising his head.

Bai Jie walked to the door and let He Bing and others in.

He Bing and others didn't know the purpose of Li Yu calling them over. They walked in confused and looked at Li Yu curiously.

Li Yu said to Bai Jie, "Bai Jie, synchronize what I just said with them."

"Okay, City Lord."

Li Hang next to her pushed the computer in front of Bai Jie. Bai Jie explained the information in the computer to everyone sitting in the conference room.

"Anyway, that's the general situation."

After listening to this, He Bing's eyes sparkled and he said:

"So what do we need to do?"

He probably had some guesses in his mind that with the outdoor temperature at minus eighty degrees, the helicopter could not fly.

There was only one purpose for sending them here, which was to develop a large snowmobile that could go to Palau.

He likes the challenge of this kind of task.

After hearing He Bing's question, Li Yu said:
"I called you here to let you evaluate whether the vehicles we currently have at the base can drive to Palau and return."

He Bing heard this and thought to himself, As expected!

He immediately replied:

"City Lord, I think it's possible, but it will definitely require modifications to the existing vehicles."

“There are two problems at the heart of snowmobiling.”

"The first is the energy issue. If we rely on traditional fuel vehicles, we have to carry a lot of fuel, which will increase the weight. Our large vehicles weigh tens or even hundreds of tons. For a round trip of 6000 kilometers, the amount of fuel required is astronomical.

but.

Our RV has a permanent endurance version, which can ignore the problem of carrying fuel. The zombie generator inside can continuously provide electricity, with enough horsepower to completely reach Palau from the Big Camphor Tree Base and return. "

"In addition, our electric vehicles are extremely well sealed, the battery is placed inside the vehicle, and the temperature inside the vehicle is set at more than 20 degrees, so the battery performance can be maintained and the heating can also be guaranteed."

"This problem can be solved by our existing electric vehicles."

"The second problem is to adapt to the snowy environment and the problem of passability."

"We need to conduct field tests on this issue, but I have a few ideas. One is to remove the tracks of the tank and install them on the electric vehicle. The tracked design has good performance."

"The second is a screw-type propulsion vehicle, which drives the vehicle by rotating the pipe. This type of vehicle cannot travel on hard roads, but is suitable for snowy swamps and can even travel freely in water."

Li Yu's eyes lit up when he heard what he said about the spiral propeller.

If this is true, they will still be able to sail back across the ocean even after the snow melts.

but
Li Yu thought about it carefully and still felt that it was not a good idea. Once the snow melted, no matter how powerful the car was, it would be attacked by the zombie animals and zombies in the ocean.

It's definitely over.

Therefore, the convoy must return to the Dazhangshu base before the snow melts.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yu asked:
“When can it be manufactured?”

He Bing did not answer Li Yu immediately, but turned to look at Lao Zhou.

When Lao Zhou was in the army, he specialized in repairing tanks and armored vehicles, and he knows tracked vehicles best.

"Old Zhou, how many days do you think it will take to replace the tracked chassis?" asked He Bing.

Lao Zhou frowned and said, "That depends on how many cars you modify."

"One, no, two. At least two cars." Li Yu said.

After all, we are just going there to investigate and confirm whether a giant meteorite has fallen there, so not many people are needed.

But a car is still not safe. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome if you don’t have a replacement.

Two cars can ensure that if one of the cars breaks down, there will be a replacement.

After hearing that two cars needed to be modified, Lao Zhou thought for a moment and said:

"Within a week, it should be fine within a week."

“In addition to modifying the tracked chassis, I think the permanent endurance version of the RV should also be modified to better adapt to extremely low temperature environments.”

"One week."

He Bing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he came up with two plans.

One is a screw-type propulsion vehicle, and the other is a crawler modification.

He actually didn't know which of these two options would be more suitable for the current outdoor environment.

Only after manufacturing the hollow spiral tube and installing it under the electric RV and comparing it with the RV equipped with a tracked chassis can we know which one is more suitable.

So he said to Li Yu:

"City Lord, give us a week. We will make a screw-propelled RV and a crawler RV, and then compare them to see which one is more suitable.

What do you think? "

Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

The old boss, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"City Lord."

"Hmm? You say." Li Yu looked at the old boss.

Lao Dong is the head of the Electric Power Research Institute and the leader in the electrification of vehicles at the Dazhangshu base.

The old boss said softly:

"City Lord, I think the giant vehicle placed in the Oil City can carry out this mission."

"Although the behemoth is large in size and heavy in weight, it has strong power, and is equipped with solid giant tires. It is equipped with snow-clearing equipment on the front of the car, so it can be used as a road-clearing vehicle."

“And the car has been in practice for so many years, which is enough to prove its stability.”

"In today's snowpack that is more than ten meters thick, this behemoth can compact the floating snow on the surface and shovel away the snow in front, making it easier for vehicles behind to pass."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows, he almost forgot about the behemoth.

That behemoth is the largest vehicle ever built at their Camphor Tree Base.

25 meters long, 8 meters wide and 8 meters high.

I had climbed the steep slope of Jigong Mountain before without any problem.

The vehicle is fully armored and heated, and is equipped with rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, light machine guns and other weapons.

Moreover, before, on Jigong Mountain, he was surrounded by a group of zombies, but he was still able to escape easily.

A fierce batch.

"It is possible, but I don't know if it can be driven on snow." Li Yu expressed his concerns.

Old Dong said confidently: "City Lord, just let them try and you will know."

"Okay, Uncle San, you heard what I just talked about with them, why not give it a try?" Li Yu looked at the radio station.

Uncle San was silent for a long time.

After a while, he said:

"Sure, but the snow in the buffer city has not been cleared yet. The gate of the trading market is blocked by the snow and it will take some time to clear." "Also, a mission of 6,000 kilometers round trip requires high-quality personnel. I have performed a mission near Palau before. When the time comes, I will ask my team members who are willing to go. It will also be a good opportunity to drive the Big Mac back to the headquarters base."

When Li Yu heard that his uncle was planning to let his teammates go, he instantly became more reliable.

He was just struggling over who to let lead the team, because this mission was too dangerous and the journey was long, so they would definitely encounter various accidents on the way, so the person leading the team would need to have extremely strong comprehensive qualities.

If the Judge and his men were to go, he would undoubtedly be the leader.

In addition, I heard from my uncle that they had been to Palau to carry out a mission, so they are more familiar with the place than others.

"Okay, Uncle San, I'll leave it to you."

"Well, the snow is so thick right now. Even if the Big Mac can drive on the snow, its speed will definitely not be very fast. It is estimated to be only 30 kilometers per kilometer."

Uncle San calculated in his mind, "We should be able to reach the headquarters base within a week."

If we calculate that the Big Mac travels at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour in the snow, and travels for ten hours a day, that would be kilometers, so it should be able to reach its destination in three or four days.

The premise is that everything goes smoothly.

"Okay, I'll select some more personnel." Li Yu replied.

"Row."

After communicating with his uncle, Li Yu raised his head and looked at He Bing and others.

"Let's start preparing for the transformation. Put aside other things for the time being and focus on completing the vehicle transformation."

"Okay, City Lord." He Bing and others said in unison.

"The meeting is adjourned." Li Yu stood up and left, and Li Hang followed him out of the meeting room.

The conference room suddenly became noisy after Li Yu left.

"Oh my God, 6000 kilometers, this is just the straight-line driving distance. If we have to take a detour, it will definitely be more than tens of thousands of kilometers." Qin Feng exclaimed.

He Bing's eyes sparkled.

"Don't you think it's a challenge? Come on, let's go to the mechanical maintenance factory and discuss it carefully."

"We need to consider warmth, defense, and stopping."

Old Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought for a moment and said:

"I think we can add a robotic arm. The robotic arm has powerful functions and can play a big role in some special situations."

"For example?" Lao Zhou asked puzzledly.

The old boss smiled and said:

"There are too many ways to do this. For example, if we encounter some emergency and don't want to get out of the car, we can use the robotic arm to move the obstacles in front of us. Even if we really find meteorite fragments, we can also use the robotic arm to grab the roof of the car."

He Bing nodded vigorously. "This robotic arm sounds quite useful. We can do it."

"Any more?"

The old boss shook his head and said, "We need to think about it again."

He Bing looked at everyone and said:

"Then let's go to the mechanical maintenance factory first. Everyone, put down your current tasks today and stay here tonight to perfect the renovation plan. Once we have finalized the renovation plan with the city lord tomorrow morning, we will start the renovation!"

"it is good."

"Row."

Afterwards, He Bing, Lao Zhou and others left the Zombie Research Institute meeting room.

Bai Jie got Li Yu's instruction and handed a copy of the meeting minutes to her second uncle.

And let my second uncle work with me to select suitable candidates for this Palau mission.

Seeing that the meeting was about to start, Second Uncle knew that it seemed necessary to send someone to Palau this time.

Second Uncle sighed. The natural disaster hasn't even passed yet, yet they're sending people to such a far place.

But he also understood Li Yu's idea, after all, from a long-term perspective.

It's a good time to send people to Palau for reconnaissance while the freezing disaster is still going on.

If they wait until the snow on the ocean melts, it will probably be difficult for them to get across.

Second Uncle looked at the list that Bai Jie handed in and took the initiative to sign up, making a tentative list of people going to Palau.

Institute of Natural Disasters, oceanographer, Wu Nianchuan.

Natural Disaster Research Institute, meteorologist, Gao Le.

Institute of Natural Disasters, geologist, Liao Fan.

Zombie Research Institute, Research Institute, Zhao Ke.

Zombie Research Institute, researcher, Wang Yin.

There are still a few people who need to be recruited.

Jiuge, senior automobile maintenance engineer.

Zhang San, power system expert.

The people on the list are either members of the expert inspection team or logistical personnel who ensure the normal operation of the convoy.

In addition to these people, a group of combat personnel will definitely be needed.

Looking through the meeting minutes, he learned that the third brother would ask the judge and others to lead the team.

But the judge alone is definitely not enough, some other elite forces are also needed.

And they are the elite among the elite in the base.

Then there are only commandos.

The combat capability of the members of the commando team is even stronger than that of the personnel in the operations department.

After all, the commandos are elites selected from the combat department.

However, due to the limitation of vehicle loading capacity, even with the behemoth, it can only carry dozens of people at most.

"Okay, I got it. You can go do something else first." Second Uncle looked up at Bai Jie and said.

"Okay, Minister, I'm going down now."

Second Uncle rubbed his brows. A lot of things must be prepared in terms of logistics.

The food must at least last the team two months.

The distance is so far, if they get lost, it would be better to prepare some food for them so that they can hold on until the helicopter comes to rescue them.

Weapons and equipment, guns and ammunition are the most basic, as well as adaptive self-heating clothing that can be used in extreme climates. This type of clothing is not bulky but extremely warm.

Self-rescue equipment: sleds, skis, tow ropes, etc.

By this calculation, there are quite a lot of things to carry.

This is based on the premise that you don't need to carry fuel and heating equipment.

Otherwise, before the end of the world, a journey of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers would be a big hassle just to carry the fuel.

Without saying anything else, let’s just calculate based on the behemoth converted from a loader.

Before the electrification transformation, the loader consumed nearly 20 liters of fuel per kilometer.

10000 kilometers is 20 liters.

粗略计算，1升=1公斤，1000升=1000公斤=1吨，10000升=10000公斤=10吨，100000升=100000公斤=100吨。

20 liters of fuel is 200 tons.

Hundreds of tons of fuel, let alone whether the vehicle can drive while towing such a heavy load of fuel.

Even in these cold temperatures, thawing the fuel is a big hassle.

Thinking of this, the second uncle couldn't help but sigh that electrification is good.

The zombie generator plus electrification is really powerful.

(Asking for monthly tickets, wishing everyone a happy new year in advance, wear more clothes and keep warm, don't catch a cold like me.)
