I'm starting a revolution in Terra

Crosshair observed the opposing army and found that the shield guards protected the people behind them very well, so he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.

After all, although the sniper rifle is quite powerful, it is still too difficult for ordinary bullets to penetrate the shield of the shield guard.

Although etched bullets can be used, they are too expensive. In addition, there are many shield guards. Even if one shield guard is killed, another will immediately replace him. It is still a bit of a loss to use etched bullets to exchange for shield guards.

Although his shooting skills are accurate, it is still difficult to kill the enemy with one shot, especially when one of the opponents dies, they will soon become alert, which makes his sniping even more difficult. At that time, let alone one shot, he may not be able to kill anyone even with several shots.

It would be easy to deal with ordinary shield guards, but some of the shield guards seen by the crosshairs had shields different from those of other shield guards.

The crosshairs also had some guesses about this. The shields held by these shield guards should be mixed with D32 steel. This material is difficult to penetrate even with etched bullets.

So the crosshairs gave up attacking the shield guards and instead prepared to find an opportunity to kill the generals inside when they were too busy to take care of other things. As long as he could kill the leader, he would make a profit.

W wanted to laugh when he saw the opposing army searching for mines everywhere. It seemed that they were scared by the previous mines. They did not rush in to attack as soon as they got here, but instead cleared the mines first.

............

At this time, the general of the opposing team suddenly felt that the effect of slowly searching for and removing mines was too slow. After all, not all mines can be found and removed. Some mines are controlled by the opponent. Even if they find them, they cannot remove them because the switch is in the opponent's hands.

So the generals came up with a new idea, which was to use bombs to blow up the area. The energy generated by the explosion of the bombs could be used to detonate the mines buried in the area, so they didn't have to clear them slowly.

Under the general's order, a bomb was thrown into the abandoned area. As the explosion sounded, the mines buried underground were quickly detonated by the exploding bomb. For a while, explosions were heard from time to time in the abandoned area.

The original houses were shattered by the explosion and turned into ruins.

When the crosshairs saw this, he frowned. He didn't expect that the opponent could come up with such a way to break the situation.

You know, because of the bombs dropped by the opposite side, a lot of mines in the abandoned area were detonated, which made the mines buried by many people ineffective.

Zhunxing quickly passed the news here to Su Xing, hoping that the marshal could find a way to solve it.

After Su Xing received the message, he just told them to sit back and wait. He didn't believe that the other side could detonate all the mines and bombs in the abandoned area. After all, these bombs were used against them.

It's enough to use some to clear mines and bombs. If you use them again, aren't you afraid that you won't have bombs to use when you encounter soldiers?

Chapter 38 Evacuation

Su Xing also didn't think that the enemy army could carry many bombs. After all, although bombs are powerful, they are not cheap.

Su Xing is rich now that he controls the entire Chernobyl, right? But he has to be careful when producing mines and bombs, because if he makes too many, it will affect the economy.

The other side spent about a dozen bombs, and then they stopped throwing.

The opposing general obviously knew that he didn't have many bombs, and if he threw more, they might not be enough to deal with the enemy's soldiers.

After putting away the bomb, the opponent began to use shield guards to clear the way and continued to move forward.

As the shield guards advanced, they passed through areas that had been bombed, but when they reached the new area, the sound of the explosion filled everyone's mind.

The shield guard in front was seriously injured by the buried mine, and the same was true for the shield guards around him. Apparently they had stepped on the mines again.

The general on the opposite side was very annoyed and continued to order the use of bombs to clear the way.

Explosions began to sound, buried mines began to be detonated by bombs, and the shield guards were also advancing rapidly.

As the enemy advanced, the soldiers from Qiecheng and others began to pick up the mines and bombs in their hands and throw them.

This time, even if the opponent had shield guards to defend themselves, there was no way. A huge explosion sounded, and the shield on the shield guard in front was directly shattered, and the shield guard behind was directly killed.

By the time the enemy switched to special shield guards for defense, the soldiers had already evacuated. Before evacuating, they had thrown a lot of bombs and mines, which were triggered instantly, leaving them no time to dismantle them.

The special shield guard's shield is indeed made of D32 steel. Even mines and bombs cannot break the shield's defense.

However, the huge impact force still caused some minor injuries to these shield guards, and it was difficult for them to chase the enemy when they encountered them while holding shields. After all, carrying a shield would greatly affect their mobility.

The opposing general did not waste time this time, but directly let this special shield guard lead the way. He didn't believe that the opponent could have anything to fight against the shield mixed with D32 steel?

However, the opponent obviously overestimated the defensive power of the shield. After all, the triggered mine exploded under the feet, not in front of them. Even if the special shield guard's shield can defend against the thrown bombs, how can they defend against the mines and bombs exploding under their feet?

Although the special shield guards did not have to worry about attacks from the front as they cleared the way, the mines and bombs exploding under their feet still caused the special shield guards to start losing money.

The general was very sad, he knew that even if he broke through Chernobyl, he would be punished. Special shield guards were very rare and losing one would be painful.

Not to mention those who were killed by bombs and mines, and some who were directly disabled. I guess their second half of life must not be easy.

As the enemy continued to advance, the People's Liberation Army also began to attack, but they usually harassed secretly and did not launch a formal attack.

Su Xing looked at the opposing army from a high place. Their morale was almost gone. The sacrifice of the shield guards and the ubiquitous mines and bombs had left them with psychological trauma.

The opposing general obviously wanted to end the battle quickly, so he attacked directly whoever appeared. However, the soldiers hid themselves directly based on their familiarity with the place, and occasionally shot the enemy from behind.

The sniper team couldn't bear to use etched bullets, but Su Xing didn't care. The war had already begun, so he had to use etched bullets. He was also ready to end the battle quickly. He was too lazy to continue dragging the battle with the other side.

So Su Xing directly ordered the sniper team to use etched bullets to eliminate the shield guards, and then directly throw bombs and mines, preparing to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop.

Regardless of how many we can kill, at least we have to force these people to retreat.

As Su Xing's order was given, the sniper team, which had been ready for a long time, took out specially etched bullets and began to attack the shield guards.

The appearance of etched bullets completely changed the situation of the battle. The shields that were originally able to block mines and bombs were punctured by etched bullets. More than a dozen etched bullets completely broke the shields of the shield guards, forcing them to shrink their defense lines.

However, the sniper team had no intention of stopping and kept attacking with etched bullets. Several unlucky guys were shot in the head.

When they saw that the shield guard's shield was useless, the morale of the opponents obviously dropped a lot, and some people even wanted to escape.

We didn't see many enemies after arriving here, but our own casualties have been very high. So far, at least thousands of people have died, which is an exaggerated number.

You have to know that the other side has not lost any manpower at all, what can they gain by continuing to fight?

As morale dropped, those who were originally determined to win began to waver. It was obvious that the pressure brought to them by the opposing army was not small.

However, the generals knew that if there was no progress, they would collapse.

As the sniper team increased their offensive power, the opposing army suffered more casualties, and more people began to get scared, fearing that they would die.

As the soldiers became frightened, panic began to spread. Although the generals killed several of those who escaped, they could not stop the army's morale from declining.

In addition, the opponent's attack became more and more aggressive, and the shield guard began to be unable to hold on.

The general looked at the enemy soldiers. Now he had two choices. One was to continue advancing, but he didn't know how many bombs and mines were ahead. In that case, the losses would be very heavy.

One is to retreat immediately, which will at least allow more people to survive.

The general weighed the pros and cons and finally gritted his teeth and issued an order to retreat. After all, if they continued to advance, they would still have to face mines and bombs that were buried somewhere unknown. Retreating now would at least allow them to preserve more strength.

As for the Marquis's punishment, let him punish him. He thinks no one else can do a better job than himself.

"Everyone, retreat."

Following the general's order, those who continued to advance breathed a sigh of relief and then began to retreat without stopping.

Upon seeing this, Su Xing immediately ordered a pursuit, killing as many as possible. After all, no one would refuse to give a drowning dog a beating.

By the time the opposing army evacuated Chernobyl, they left behind dozens of corpses.

Su Xing knew that they could live in peace for a while, but by the time they were ready, they might face a fierce battle.

However, Su Xing didn't care about this at all. When the Industrial Revolution began, Su Xing was confident that he would be able to fight against the army sent by Ursus.

What's more, Su Xing didn't even take out his rifle or Gatling gun in this battle. What if the other side sent troops? Can they withstand my Gatling gun that rotates at 5000 revolutions per second?

After the city gate was repaired, Su Xing came to the abandoned area that was bombed into ruins. It must be said that this place was bombed very thoroughly. The original houses have now become flat ground with only ruins left, saving him the effort of demolishing them.

Chapter 39 Literacy

Next, Su Xing began to order the construction team to begin rebuilding the abandoned area, which will become a new residential area after reconstruction.

In addition to this place, Su Xing plans to demolish all other dangerous and damaged buildings. Chernobyl needs to be rebuilt.

Moreover, infrastructure can boost the economy. Once the construction is completed, Su Xing will prepare to recruit a large number of people. The population required for industrialization is very large, and more than one million people is still too few.

In addition to these, Su Xing also wants to build a crop area, which is where he will improve seeds and vegetables.

If you want to overthrow Ursus, you can do without everything else but food.

The existence of mushrooms means Su Xing doesn't have to worry about not having enough food, but he can't rely solely on mushrooms as other foods are also needed.

Su Xing already had a plan for these things in his mind, and he just needed to follow them step by step.

The most important thing at the moment is literacy. According to the information collected by Lev, less than 10% of people in Chernobyl are literate. This shockingly low literacy rate makes Su Xing speechless.

Although he had long known that Terra was a society similar to the feudal era, Su Xing still overestimated the humanoids in Terra.

The knowledge blockade is too thorough. This is the mobile city of Chernobyl. If it were in the countryside, the literacy rate would be even lower.

Su Xing finally understood why rebellions in feudal society were suppressed so easily. With these people's low literacy rate, they couldn't understand even slightly complicated words, let alone tactics.

In Chernobyl, a mobile city of more than one million people, there are less than tens of thousands of people who can read and write, and most of them are nobles. It is even rarer for civilians to be literate and write.

Seeing this situation, Su Xing couldn't just ignore it. The premise of industrialization is literacy. People who can't read or write can't operate sophisticated machines. Even simple machines are difficult to operate.

Therefore, literacy is a top priority, and infrastructure is a good opportunity to teach those idle people to read and write while giving them work.

Lev and others taught by Su Xing have already mastered a lot of knowledge, and the next step is to set up a school at night.

Su Xing was not planning to teach any advanced knowledge. His main goal now was to make most people literate. The rest of the things would have to wait until they became literate.

Su Xing called Herag and told him that he planned to build houses and teach civilians to read at the same time, because only when there are enough intellectuals can industrialization be smoother.

Herag did not refuse. He also knew that the nobles monopolized the channels for acquiring knowledge. Before, it was a problem for the common people to even have food, let alone learn knowledge.

If Su Xing had not researched the fast-growing fungi, Helag would not have approved of Su Xing's behavior of spreading knowledge, because the premise of allowing civilians to learn knowledge is to free them from the trouble of hunger.

Only when the civilians' food problem is solved will they have the motivation to learn knowledge.

If you can't even get enough food, who has the heart to study? If you are hungry, even if Su Xing is willing to teach civilians, it will be useless, because knowledge cannot fill your stomach.

But there is no need to worry as long as there are mushrooms. The fast-growing mushrooms are enough to save more than one million people in Chernobyl from the worry of hunger.

After giving these instructions, Su Xing prepared to conduct research on the steam engine. Although the Originium system is good, Originium can cause oripathy, so Su Xing was thinking whether there could be other systems to replace the Originium system?

Among them, the steam engine is Su Xing's idea. Although there are more advanced internal combustion engines, Su Xing has never seen the oil needed for internal combustion engines. In the world of Terra, maybe Originium has replaced oil, so there is no such thing as oil.

Because there was no oil, Su Xing could only choose the inferior steam engine.

Because there was coal Terra needed to run the steam engine, and a lot of it.

Although wood, natural gas and oil can all be used as fuel for steam engines, oil can be ruled out. As for wood, very few trees in the snowfield can survive, so using wood is a pure waste.

Like natural gas and oil, Su Xing did not find any, so he ruled it out directly.

The last thing left is coal.

There should be coal on Terra. There is something called carbon in the home infrastructure upgrade. After synthesis, it can be upgraded into carbon and carbon group. This shows that there is indeed coal on Terra.

Although carbon and charcoal are different, their basic elements are the same and both can be used as fuel, but they have some differences in physical and chemical properties.

Su Xing also asked Lev and others to look for coal mines. It would be even better if they could find one.

Su Xing also made a backup plan. Even if there was no coal in Terra, he could use wood instead.

However, before that, the steam engine needs to be manufactured first. As long as the steam engine is successfully manufactured, coupled with the emergence of coal, Su Xing can use this opportunity to start industrialization.

Although industrialization is possible with current equipment, the harm caused by source stone products is too great, which will cause more people to be infected with mineral disease.

Because Su Xing is a pure-blooded human, the oripathy has no effect on him at all. However, during the time Su Xing lived in the slums, he knew the status of the infected in Terra.

It’s not that everyone is condemning him, but it’s almost the same.

Except for a few individuals, civilians were eager to take action when they saw the patrol team.

Su Xing looked at the large group of people outside who had received the news and came to look for jobs. It seemed that quite a few people needed jobs?

While Su Xing was carrying out infrastructure construction, on the other side, the returning generals were also seen with nobles waiting for them.

The nobleman looked unhappy when he learned about the loss of his army. After all, he had boasted to the emperor, but he didn't expect that his generals would fail? How could the nobleman accept this?

But the nobles had no choice. After all, they had already failed. They couldn't give up their own army, right?

According to the information we got from the army, the people who occupied Chernobyl used superb tactics, and the soldiers on the opposite side were no worse than their elite troops.

When the nobles heard these words at first, they sneered. Who could challenge his army?

However, when the nobles asked their own troops, they found out that these things were all true. The soldiers on the opposite side were no worse than their own soldiers in terms of discipline or professionalism.
