Chapter 148 Repair
Chapter 148 Repair (ask for monthly ticket!)
"Team Leader Bai, Captain Lin has successfully repaired the maintenance robot. The estimated repair time for the climbing elevator is reduced to one hour."
Bang bang bang!
There was fierce fighting going on around the entire airport platform, like a large battlefield.
In each area, hundreds of thousands of zombies were climbing upwards frantically, flames were raging, explosions were constant, and the barrels of the fully automatic machine guns were even burning red. Every fire and explosion would reflect the dense army of zombies pouring in on the city roads.
All kinds of weird insects, zombies, tall white monsters, black insects were mixed in there. When the 1130's firepower line swept across an area, it turned into blood and flesh. The Iron Guard Brigade responsible for supplying ammunition below had to use trucks to deliver ammunition chains from the airport military warehouse.
In the tower, Bai Shuang was discussing the evacuation plan with the emergency team. When he heard Wei Kexue's voice on the intercom, he was immediately shocked.
"Okay! The radar detected a huge strange object in the sky. It should be the S-level atmospheric mica. It has not appeared yet. You must pay attention to safety!"
Boom!
A dazzling blue beam of light exploded as the electromagnetic railgun cut through the night sky and headed straight for an approaching sky jellyfish, immediately piercing its center. Dozens of jellyfish fell to the ground in response.
Ang hum~~!!
A strange buzzing sound was heard, and many resisting soldiers and survivors felt their hair stand on end when they saw the huge shadow in the sky!
"All parameters for launching the Night Falcon 12 air defense missile are ready!"
sieve! sieve!
The anti-aircraft missile launcher of the Iron Guard Brigade slowly rose up, and two small air-launched missiles flew out, leaving a rapid white mist and exploded on the edge of the umbrella of the jellyfish in the sky.
Bang, bang, bang! On the ground, an Iron Guard Brigade was marching quickly. Leading them was a middle-aged man in military uniform who looked to be in his forties. He had a stern face and a serious look, and he exuded the aura of a veteran on the battlefield.
"General, Team Leader Bai just informed us that the climbing elevator will take another hour to repair."
The adjutant followed beside him and reported urgently.
"Let the convoy on the square move back to the harbor. The threat can already reach inside." Zhang Dingzhong kept walking and pointed at the rail platform. "Let Bai Shuang make arrangements and move everyone to the rail platform."
Most of the survivors took up their guns and began to help the Iron Guard Brigade resist. Most of the remaining people in the thousands of survivors' escape vehicles were the elderly, the weak, women and children.
"Where are the guards? Why aren't they coming to support us?"
"The FBI team hasn't left yet. They even contacted us and said they want us to provide them with airspace escort before they leave."
"What, escort?!" Zhang Dingzhong stopped and snorted coldly, "Ma Xiaotang, go tell that Taylor that I don't care which congressman's father or which president's son is on her plane, I only give her 20 minutes to get out of here, or she will never leave!"
"Yes!" the adjutant responded immediately.
"General, a small-scale earthquake was detected in the southwest direction, which may be related to the strange entity." Another officer ran forward and reported hurriedly.
"How much time do we have left to evacuate?"
"According to the emergency response team's estimate, after the climbing elevator is repaired, it will take about five hours to complete the transfer of all personnel at the airport."
"5 hours..."
Zhang Dingzhong looked up at the sky above his head. The darkness of the night sky made the entire airport feel suffocated, as if a huge skynet was gradually converging here.
In the port, more and more survivors' vehicles were destroyed by the strange bodies, many survivors who participated in the resistance died, the howling of corpses and the crying of women continued to be heard, and many survivors lost their vehicles and support.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Dingzhong said decisively, "Follow my orders, unload the equipment of the artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft battalion, and let the logistics team be responsible for transferring the wounded and those who are alone in the port to the transport train of the Iron Guard Brigade! Inform all battalions and units to prepare for comprehensive defense. The remaining aircraft of the Airship Team 52 and Team will all take off to guard against high-altitude creatures that may destroy the climbing elevator!" "Yes!" The non-commissioned officers of Iron Guard responded in unison.
……
On the other side, in the maintenance area of the climbing elevator, under Lin Xian's repair, one maintenance robot after another began to take off, and under Wei Kexue's operation, joined the maintenance sequence and flew towards the climbing elevator passage above.
As more and more fault information was eliminated from the system, Wei Kexue's expression relaxed a lot.
"According to the current sequence statistics, if the repair is completed, how long will it take to complete the entire climb and transfer?" In the quiet maintenance area, without artillery fire and gunfire, Lin Xian asked Wei Kexue while repairing the robot.
"The fastest?" Wei Kexue took a deep breath. "It will take at least 5 hours. This is the limit of what we can do."
After saying that, he seemed to have guessed what Lin Xian was thinking, and lowered his head and said, "You are the train team, you want to use the horizon gateway to rush directly up, right?"
Lin Xian didn't say anything, but KIKI next to him said, "Isn't this okay?"
"The risk is huge," Wei Kexue said. "Not just your train, but a total of nine trains have entered the ascending sequence in the past few days. Without a traction platform, the current measures will make it difficult to ensure safety in the high-altitude passage."
The traction platform that Wei Kexue mentioned refers to a device similar to a flatbed trailer, but it is more complicated in terms of safety. This device is directly connected to the track, which is equivalent to a shuttle bus on a track, and is dispatched and electromagnetically launched by the system as a whole. Therefore, cars and trains are on this traction platform during the climbing process and the subsequent acceleration in the negative pressure high-altitude corridor. There is no need for cars and trains to start autonomously. This can not only achieve extremely high transportation efficiency but also realize automated dispatching.
Just like ferries flying high in the sky, cars and trains do not need to worry about driving. At the same time, electromagnetic acceleration technology can be directly applied to the most basic means of transportation to achieve long-distance delivery of vehicles.
If the train does not use the traction platform but directly uses the horizon gate to rush up, then the train will run directly on the track of the high-altitude corridor. If it is separated from the traction platform, it will not be able to achieve electromagnetic acceleration and can only drive forward at high altitude by itself.
This situation can also be achieved through track information scheduling in the early stage of operation, and the speed can be increased to about 500KM, which exceeds the speed of most high-speed railways.
But the problem is that in the current situation, if these doomsday trains are allowed to rush forward, and there are other means of transportation with electromagnetic acceleration behind them, if an accident occurs while running in the high-altitude corridor, it will cause a horrific chain reaction, the degree of the disaster will be unimaginable.
"In fact, we have also thought about increasing the number of one-time transports to improve transfer efficiency, but the same problem still exists..."
"Power shortage?" Lin Xian replied.
Wei Kexue nodded. "In addition to the climbing elevator and electromagnetic acceleration system, we also have to ensure the air defense system of the high-altitude corridor, so the transportation capacity of the climbing channel has been affected."
"In the dark night, there may be fewer strange entities in the sky than on the ground, but they are often more terrifying. Since the Apocalypse, most aircraft, including orbital satellites, have been destroyed. The sky is not safe. Our aerospace city, Qingluan, crashed in the deep sea of the western Pacific the day before yesterday, with 150,000 people on board. The Phoenix Society is still trying its best to rescue them. It is said that something terrible appeared in the deep sea..."
"What?" KIKI frowned when he heard that. "Why is your statement so weird? You clearly said that the strange body was in the sky, how did it become one in the deep sea?"
"Is there any difference?" Wei Kexue raised his glasses and pointed to the sky. "Some things that should exist in the sea also appear in the sky. In the ten thousand meter deep abyss, there must be terrifying existences that we humans cannot deal with at present."
I will continue to update frequently. Today is the middle of the month and I am begging for monthly tickets. Thank you all for your support. I will update more for every 1000 votes.
