Chapter 12 Preparation for the Crossing 1
The discussion in the forum shifted from trading commodities to preparing for the crossing, and it was definitely not easy to transport a large number of industrial raw materials and industrial equipment, and even power generation equipment and fuel oil reserves. With a car, this proposal was shot first, and after crossing the past in the first place, there was simply no suitable road to carry a truck to drive and stop. With so many cars transporting supplies to a new time and space, driving back is a big problem, and if you don't drive back, then you have to buy these cars directly, so it is completely unnecessary to increase the cost of crossing for no reason. Even if you drive back, the wormhole has begun to fluctuate with insufficient energy in the last few crossings, and it is not certain whether you can pass through the entire long queue of cars through it, let alone open the wormhole and pass it back, if the wormhole loses energy when it is halfway through, it will be a tragic loss for the traversers.
Trains are even more impossible, the laying of train tracks is an extremely troublesome thing, not to mention that the people who can drive trains are in the system, and it is absolutely impossible to hide from the train driver who drives the train. In addition, domestic railways are basically running at full capacity, and a large number of goods and personnel are often stuffed with all the wagons, and it is definitely not easy to free up a whole train to transport people and materials that pass through. The most important thing is that domestic trains are basically electric locomotives, and it is not easy to find a diesel locomotive nowadays.
The only remaining mode of transportation is shipping – shipping. The tonnage of modern transport freighters is seven or eight thousand tons, and it is not difficult to come to 50,000 tons, and there are quite a lot of 10,000-ton freighters on domestic routes.
A freighter is actually equivalent to a small city, with water and electricity on it, with kitchens, cold storage, medical facilities and entertainment facilities, enough for hundreds of people to survive, and it is not limited by road conditions and railway tracks, as long as the water depth is satisfied, it can sail at will. The cargo carried by the freighter can also be placed as required, whether in bulk, containers or liquid tanks, which can be easily achieved by crane. The most exciting thing for the crossing people is that the cargo ship generally has its own crane, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of cargo loading and unloading.
"Yes, freighters are the best option."
"Freighters?" Someone asked, "Is there a mistake?" If you want to build a freighter, it is better to get a decommissioned warship, at least there are weapons on it. ”
"You think beautifully, where are there still weapons on modern decommissioned warships? All weapons were dismantled. At most, you can find a kitchen knife in the kitchen. ”
"Hahaha, that's right, the weapons on retired warships can only be retired from active service after they are dismantled, and even if they are mothballed, the weapons are not ready to be opened."
"Yes, there is also a great trouble for warships, that is, the number of personnel occupied is very large, a battleship needs at least a few hundred people to start normally, and all the personnel need to go through a very long time to complete the run-in and skillfully operate the entire battleship, if we want to start crossing preparations, we must complete the procurement and preparation in the shortest possible time, and leave as soon as possible."
"Why is that? So what are you doing in a hurry? ”
"It's very simple, it won't be long before you'll be discovered and tracked down by powerful departments, maybe it won't be long before you'll be investigated, and soon you'll have to blow the light and pull out the wax through the plan."
"There is no crime, all we have prepared are industrial equipment, all of which are purchased domestically, and when the time comes, it will be solved by reporting a warm supply to the underdeveloped countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America?"
"To put it simply, where are we going? Do you have an idea? ”
"What place? Isn't it antiquity? ”
"yes, what kind of world was it in ancient times? Even if there were laws, it was an era of the jungle, and in such a place, if you want to develop your own industry and agriculture, you must be able to protect yourself. ”
"Self-preservation? Who will come and rob it? ”
"That era was the standard law of the jungle, you have no problem if you have money, but you have to have enough strength to protect yourself, only if you can protect yourself, can you continue to be rich. Just like Huangshi, who does business with us, he has his own stockade and his own village. Otherwise, this time it will be directly looted by pirates, or why do you think Master Huang is eager to buy the fireworks and pulley bows we provide? ”
"Shall we prepare some fireworks and pulley bows?" Immediately, someone in the group said, "Fireworks and pulley bows are not prohibited by the imperial court, so we won't be tracked down by powerful departments because of controlled weapons." ”
"You're right, but it's not realistic."
"How unrealistic?"
"It's very simple, the trajectory of fireworks is not reliable, it is also easy to dumb fire, and it is easy to get damp and cause some other unexpected accidents, everyone shoots fireworks in the sky to see the excitement and joy is no problem, it is simply unrealistic to use it as a military weapon."
"Blow you! Our fireworks are more lethal than all the military weapons of that era. ”
"Yes, the lethality is just as great for ourselves, and the reliability of fireworks will never be as good as that of regular military weapons, right? You don't want to be the first patriarch on a new plane to be killed by fireworks, do you? ”
There was silence in the group for a while, and after a while, someone spoke again, "If the fireworks are unreliable, we can still use a pulley bow." ”
"In ancient courts, including modern laws, crossbows and bows are forbidden, why? It is because it takes a long time to become proficient in the use of bows and arrows, without exception. How much time do you think we have to spend on training to use bows and arrows? It takes a long time to train the proficiency of this thing, and our base is only leased for about a year, do you think a large group of people practicing archery in a troop barracks to be demolished can not attract the attention of powerful departments? ”
"And what do you suggest?"
"What advice? Buy a gun! ”
Suddenly, the group fell silent again. SC used to be a military arena, and the guys in it who were good at weapons Ye Gong were lamenting every day that they had not been able to catch up with the First and Second World Wars in this life, and suddenly someone said that they would buy guns, and suddenly all the people who participated in the discussion couldn't turn their heads.
"Are you going to go to the north or Changfeng to buy it?" Someone laughed.
"Who said you can only buy Chinese guns?"
"Pull it down! Where else can you buy guns other than Chinese guns? You must know that the weapons in the hands of armed elements in various conflict areas around the world are madeinchina. ”
"That being the case, which of you has the means to buy a gun in the country? Isn't this an old birthday boy who eats arsenic and thinks he's long-lived? ”
"It's easy to say, if you go abroad to buy a gun, even if you buy it, you won't be able to ship it back."
"No one is allowed to talk about guns anymore!" Suddenly, a warning popped up, which was issued by Du Yande. As soon as he opened the chat group, he found that the things discussed above were already seriously discordant, and if he continued to talk about it, he would inevitably be noticed by the relevant departments, and he had to let people who saw it think that this was a black gun gang in the making. "This is a resolution of the Executive Committee, and you should not discuss these serious discordant issues online. Violators are banned for two days, and repeat offenders are directly expelled. ”
Under such a warning, everyone's enthusiasm in this regard was extinguished by cold water. However, another wave of enthusiasm rose, "The following is a notice, anyone who is named is requested to take a ride to XX City, XX Province within ten days." There is only a bus stop in the area, and there will be people picking you up at the gate of the Crossing Trade Fair. ”
The traversal crowd is finally about to begin to assemble.
At this time, the five members of the executive committee have now arrived at the barracks to be demolished. The camp is quite large and the facilities inside are relatively complete. Not only are there bathhouses, canteens, and training grounds, but the barracks are also quite decent. There are more than 10 double-storey barracks, because they are military facilities, they have been relatively intact and protected, and the door glass is still alive, but the beds and lockers inside are a bit old and virtuous, and they need to be repurchased. The Executive Committee temporarily purchased beds and lockers for 600 people.
In the middle of the camp is a three-story office building built in the mid-90s, which not only has offices, but even includes a conference room that can accommodate more than 100 people.
The first batch to report were military backbones, and most of these crossers were veterans and demobilized soldiers. However, at this time, their name is the sports group, and this name seems harmless and healthy whether it is in the public or to the outside, and will not attract unnecessary attention.
Since the camp had been unused for more than a decade, there was no water or electricity, so they managed to turn on water and electricity, and at the same time carried out simple renovations to the houses that needed to be used throughout the camp. Anyway, it will be completely bulldozed after a year, so this kind of decoration is also extremely simple. It's nothing more than replacing some faucets that can't be turned on, and repairing some damaged doors and windows.
This group of traversers who have lived in the army for several years or even more than ten years like this environment very much, as if they have returned to the army of the year, and even early the next morning, they began to exercise.
Here are these dozens of people, and the problem comes, although these guys are all from the army, but there is such a coincidence, there is not even a cooking class. So much so that even if the executive committee purchased kitchen equipment, it could not be used, although the members of this group of military groups barely cooked two meals, but they all ate so that everyone frowned, obviously one or two meals can still deal with the past, if it takes a long time, I am afraid that it will directly affect the great cause of crossing.
This question didn't get any response in the group.,Everyone is determined to participate in the crossing is to engage in industry, agriculture and commerce.,Most of the cooks are very good in this time and space.,Who wants to travel over?
However, this problem was solved that afternoon, and the opportunity to solve it only came from Sun Wenbin's complaint, "This dish ...... Not yet Tang Shuai has done a good job. ”
Tang Shuai is a co-worker of Sun Wenbin, Du Yande and Yang Minghuan, and Du Yande is in the same production workshop, and he is now forty years old, still struggling to support his family. He often complained to Du Yande that he was always dissatisfied with his wife, and the children were too young, and they needed more investment to grow up in the future, and the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.
So Du Yande called him, and unexpectedly, Tang Shuai took a bus over that day, and to Du Yande's surprise, he even quit his job in the tea oil factory.
"I've thought about it, working over there is work, working here is also work, we don't want five insurances and one housing fund, I'm going to the new world." That's how he patted Du Yande's chest and promised.
"I'll go!" Yang Minghuan on the side was surprised, "We told others that we could pass through, and people didn't believe it very much, and after seeing the wormhole, they were still reluctant, why did you believe it so quickly?" ”
Tang Shuai shook his head as he spoke. "Quite simply, the three of you quit your job not long after that robbery. Then you buy a car, it's very simple, unless you're robbing the money, you can't explain it. But you're not a robber, so after removing all the unreasonable explanations, the wormhole is the only acceptable reason, even though it is the most unreasonable. ”
"Okay, Lao Tang, we have a few things to do," Du Yande was interrupted by Tang Shuai before he finished speaking, "My wife hasn't come yet, I'll make a statement first, I'm here for three wives and four concubines, and when it comes to the new time and space, it's no problem for me to continue cooking, and the wife problem has to be solved for me!" ”
Several people on the side laughed, and soon the newcomers filled out a form, including name, gender, ethnicity, and then various skills, and professional skills need to be certified to count. There are a lot of entries in it, and they are filled out on a computer, which takes a long time for some people who are not familiar with computers.
This computer software is not Yang Minghuan's masterpiece, it was written by a few people in the technical team, and a server has been specially prepared for this purpose to manage these things. The technical team now has six or seven people, and some IT equipment has been procured under the name of Crossing Trade. The team leader is a young man named Li Zhe, a strong man who used to be the technical director of a network company, but he dragged his family, in addition to him and his wife Jiang Yan, he even brought his son and daughter to cross together.
Are there so many people who are dissatisfied with reality? Want to start over in the new world? Du Yande couldn't help but feel strange about this.
Now some members of the medical team have also been put in place, and at the suggestion of the medical team, some portable examination equipment has been purchased to check the health of all the people involved in the crossing.
Because there will be no medical security in the time and space where we are going, medical safety work is put in the first place by the Executive Committee. At this stage, everyone must be vaccinated with most of the vaccines, and those who have been vaccinated must be certified by the local epidemic prevention department. And the most concerned of them is teeth. At this time, Tang Shuai was being pressed to the rocker by a doctor in a white coat to poison him, and he was ordered to clean his teeth because he had deposited a layer of black stuff on his teeth due to chewing betel nut for a long time. The traversers on the side were all stunned and watched Tang Shuai with a mouthful of blood as he was being cleaned his teeth.
Teeth in ancient times did not have professional equipment to diagnose and treat, but it directly affected people's health and quality of life, if there is dental calculus or something, it is best to clean it up in this time and space, and in the new time and space, even if it is with medical equipment, it is not as perfect as this time and space.
According to the procurement list given by the medical team, several people in the executive committee were scared, and the list of things in it exceeded the 100 million yuan mark, and He Yongkang, who was the person in charge of the medical team, even said that there might be something missing, and maybe it needed to be supplemented.
According to the number of 2,000 people, two first-aid kits per person are not to mention, where can I buy this thing for the field hospital now? Even if you ask all the people in the military team, you don't have a clue about the procurement of this thing.
In addition, Du Yande and others looked at the long list and were quite speechless, even if it is a B-ray machine, even if it is a B-ultrasound equipment, it is also necessary, but the equipment of CT machine is too advanced, right? In the new time and space, it is still a big question whether they can provide power in a short period of time, and even if these devices are brought over, whether they can have enough power to drive them is still two theories. Although it is better to have these things, it is not impossible to see a doctor without them. The medical team's gang of traversers are simply making orders in the spirit of preferring to be indiscriminate.
This list has been suppressed for the time being, not to mention whether it is appropriate to use more than 100 million yuan to purchase medical equipment and medical products right now, but to say that these drugs are time-limited, and if they are bought early, they may expire early. It is too sad to travel through the crowd to a strange new time and space, and to dedicate their strength to the rise of a new country, and to use expired medicine. As a result, the priority of medical procurement was placed at the back of the list, and at this time, except for some necessary examination equipment and most of the vaccines that will be administered soon, medical procurement has not begun at all.
As for vaccines, many modern vaccines take up to a year or even two years to administer, so these vaccines must also be injected on the current plane, and some will be taken to the new time and space to be injected at that time.
Five days later, the Executive Committee first convened a small meeting of the members of the sports team, which was mainly to discuss the safety work after the crossing.
When the five members of the executive committee walked into the conference room, there were already more than 20 people waiting in the conference room.
Li Jieqi stood up and introduced several key members of the sports team to the executive committee members who came in.
"I'm Li Jieqi, recovered from an infantry unit of a group army, and now I'm the head of the sports group."
Yang Minghuan stepped forward and shook his hand. "Welcome, Comrade Li Jieqi."
At this time, the executive committee had already carried out a division of labor, and because there was no one to manage the logistics, Du Yande took up the logistics affairs, and the procurement and material management matters are now under his management; Sun Wenbin was obsessed with the purchase of crop seeds and farm tools, and had no interest in other aspects at all; At this time, Zhang Yuan was concentrating on sketching the purchase list of industrial equipment, and he was not interested in the chairman of the executive committee at all; At this time, Xiao Jing was completely intoxicated with the great cause of selling a large number of rosewood furniture, and he didn't care about other things at all. Therefore, Yang Minghuan, who was born in IT, was driven out of the duck and became the chairman of the executive committee.
"This is Gu Fulin of the Navy, who once served as a radar officer on a destroyer."
"This is Bu Zhongfu of the Navy's submarine force, who used to work as a sonar in the submarine."
"That's a shame." Li Jieqi introduced such a sentence suddenly. "This is Xiao Mingwei, a regimental-level cadre of the People's Liberation Army, who participated in the counterattack against Vietnam, was the company commander at that time, and also served as the main attacker in the Battle of Lang Son, and won the collective first-class merit."
Xiao Mingwei was an old man in his fifties, sitting in his seat with his waist straight, and his gray hair stopped Li Jieqi's further introduction. "As a soldier, there's nothing to show off about having fought in a war, Xiao Li."
Li Jieqi immediately felt countless depressions in his heart. Since the counterattack against Vietnam, China has always kept its head in obscurity, and has always made a lot of money in response to foreign provocations, but the common people cannot see the actual benefits obtained by the country, and can only see that the country has been violated by neighboring countries countless times in the world, and the accusations against military personnel are also increasing day by day. A large part of the reason why he recovered from the golden age of twenty-seven or eighteen was this. For these soldiers who participated in the war, he is really a little envious, jealous and hateful......
"You're welcome to join us." Du Yande couldn't help but walk up quickly and shook hands with Xiao Mingwei, who stood up.
"This is the northern latitude of the Army Special Forces."
Beiwei nodded with a smile on the side, and then corrected Li Jieqi. "I'm a scout, not a special forces."
Li Jieqi smiled disapprovingly, and then introduced. "This is Zhao Yong of the Armed Police Emergency Detachment, who was a first-class non-commissioned officer when he retired from the army."
…………………………
"As a military group...... Oh no, the head of the PE section, I would like to first report to the Executive Committee on the situation of our PE group. We have 17 people, from all branches of the army, navy and air force, of course, even the air force has no pilots, only ground crew. Li Jieqi smiled self-deprecatingly. However, our ground service comrade Yuan Zhenli taught himself to fly an airplane after retiring from the army, and he also obtained a light aircraft driver's license. ”
Yuan Zhenli, who had very short shaved hair, nodded happily, "Not only is it an airplane driver's license, I also have a solar-powered electric plane, which I brought with me this time, but now it is still on the way to logistics." ”
This sentence startled everyone present. originally thought that the sports group was just a group of muscular men like special forces, but there was actually a strongman who came with a plane.
"Let's not talk about the plane, I'll continue to introduce the situation." Li Jieqi waved his hand and continued after interrupting Yuan Zhenli's intention to introduce his plane. "But the good news is that although the more than 20 of us are only a drop in the ocean among the traversals, there are still many people with actual combat experience in the middle, and if they cross into the new world and encounter armed conflict, at least they will not be helpless. But the disadvantage is that we are too few people, only twenty-seven people, to talk about the protection of the crossing group, even if all of them are Rambo, it is not enough, not to mention that Rambo has a bullet that can't be used to shoot Rambo's gun, we have almost nothing. ”
At this time, a girl came in and whispered inside, "Is Executive Committee Du not there?" Everyone suddenly stopped speaking vigilantly, and their eyes fell on this girl who was still a little shy.
Du Yande hurriedly stood up, "What's the matter?" ”
"I'm Xie Mingfang, I'm from the construction team, I'm here to report." As he spoke, he timidly looked into the room, but this look was captured by Yang Minghuan, which made this guy who didn't even have a girlfriend at this time suddenly feel excited.
