"Rat Er, how much does this railway cost?" When everyone was discussing, Meng Xiang just listened quietly and listened to the opinions of others. Everyone also knows that this is only the initial discussion, after ventilation, everyone needs to go back and think about it, and then conduct a second discussion to determine, generally this procedure is not more than three times. When everyone finished discussing and went back, Meng Xiang suddenly asked the rat. After listening to Li Shuchun's explanation, Meng Xiang also felt that it seemed that it would be better to have a railway. For the transportation of large quantities of goods, railways have a great advantage over roads. It seems that there was also a railway from Laiwu to Qidu in later generations, but it was a line to Linzi.

"The normal cost of a railway is about 6 to 90,000 silver dollars per kilometer, because the geography from Boshan to Laiwu is more complicated, which makes the cost increase, at least 100,000 silver dollars per kilometer. The cost of the whole project is not less than 10 million yuan. "But all Meng Xiang's questions, Rat Er can basically answer them in a timely manner, and if they can't answer, they always collect relevant information and answers at the first time.

"Ten million?" Meng Xiang calculated in his heart that the cost of materials such as rails and sleepers would be deducted in time, and other expenses such as opening mountains and repairing roads might also cost five million. According to the two-year construction period, it is still acceptable, after all, the money is not taken out all at once. And with the construction machinery and blasting of the base engineer battalion, this cost will be reduced a little more.

"Make a detailed budget list and show it to me." Meng Xiang instructed the rat to say that he remembered clearly the words of "if you want to get rich, build roads first", "By the way, a traffic plan will be issued, including road planning in the city." ”

The important surname of transportation is the link that maintains the whole site. At this time, the Jixia School Palace was already three palaces and twelve colleges, and the School of Transportation, the School of Geology, and the School of Chemical Engineering were newly added. Some time ago, a group of students of the 38th class of Tangshan Jiaotong College, led by several teachers, fled to the territory of the vanguard army and made up the first batch of students of the Jiaotong College.

At the suggestion of Fan Xudong, the School of Chemical Engineering was added, and the School of Geology was also added under the proposal of Zhu Kezhen and Xie Jiarong. There are other subjects, because there are not enough teachers, they need to be added slowly, and then they will be slowly expanded.

"Go to Proving Ground 2!" Sitting in the car, Meng Xiang shook his somewhat confused head and instructed Mao Shidao. Now Mao 18 can't help but be a secretary and his full-time driver.

"This is the Paris Cannon?" In the remote valley of the No. 2 test site, Meng Xiang couldn't help but marvel at the cannon barrel that towered over the top of the hillside. The barrel of the Paris cannon alone is more than 36.1 meters long, about 12 stories high, and the caliber is only 210 millimeters, so it looks extraordinarily slender, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

Withdrawn from the Jiaodong Peninsula, Meng Xiang always felt regretful. The shore fire cannon system was too expensive and not half completed, which made Meng Xiang temporarily give up control of Qingdao and Yantai, and only strictly guard the Shouguang area. Moreover, in the face of the bombing of aircraft carriers and the inability to hit aircraft carriers and aircraft, the weakness of the coastal defense artillery became obvious. This couldn't help but remind Meng Xiang of the ultra-long-range French cannon.

"If it's a French cannon, how far can it hit?" Meng Xiang remembered the firing range of more than 100 kilometers of the Paris cannon, the prototype of the French giant cannon, and couldn't help but feel eagerness in his heart.

In the past, he also thought about producing French cannons, but the cost of the prototype Paris cannon was too high, so he directly gave it up. But now that he has money, Meng Xiang produced one without hesitation. The production is very simple, as long as there is money, but the system weighing more than 300 tons took a lot of effort to move to this No. 2 experimental site against the dark of night.

"Try it with a shot! Do a good job of all kinds of data. Meng Xiang said with some anticipation.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, although Meng Xiang's ears were already blocked with earplugs, but they still shook violently, making his body shake when he was far away, and listening to the sound for a long time was not the original feeling.

"Boom" Every once in a while, another cannon rang out. After six sounds, it finally calmed down.

"How?" Meng Xiang looked at a bunch of sorted out data tables and asked the rat directly.

"The maximum range reached 129 km, but the deviation from the target has already exceeded a kilometer. Within 40 km, the accuracy rate is acceptable. But the power of the 210 mm caliber was somewhat weak, and it was not powerful enough to deal with some fortresses. Rat Er said directly. Because the range of the Paris cannon was very long, this time the target was set in the sparsely populated Dongying area. Flew directly from the No. 2 experimental site near the main base to the mouth of the Yellow River a hundred kilometers away.

"It's enough to deal with the current aircraft carrier and the Izumo!" Meng Xiang looked at the more than 100 kilograms of shells, and with the help of more than 100 kilograms of propelled gunpowder, the potential energy obtained was enough to penetrate the thin armor of the aircraft carrier.

"129 km!" Since the Paris cannon was able to reach this figure, it made no sense that the French cannon couldn't. And under the powerful computing power of the brain, the error will be reduced a lot.

"Little flower, how far can the effective range of the French cannon be?" Meng Xiang asked.

"Not enough to answer!" What responded to him was Xiaohua's cold voice.

"How?" Meng Xiang said angrily, checked the entire interface, and there was still no shadow of the French cannon.

"Think about it, think about it!" Meng Xiang tried to calm himself down, and it was useless to get angry at Zhi Brain.

Meng Xiang, who was calm, suddenly thought of an introduction when he was playing a game, it seemed that the French cannon was related to a kind of turret in the Maginot Line, which was fully mechanically loaded with ammunition without manual labor.

"Is this also one of the conditions?" Meng Xiang guessed.

The defensive fortresses in the base are all based on the in-game mode, and there is no information related to the Maginot Line.

"Rat II, hurry up and investigate the system of fully mechanical loading ammunition on the Maginot Line. It's best to find a few design and manufacturing personnel. Oh, by the way, let's get in touch with the Germans first, they must have information about the Maginot Line! ”

The Red Alert is set in the Cold War, and now it is World War II, and there are many Red Alert weapons that have a better surname than the price ratio that cannot be manufactured. But Meng Xiang has already figured out the pattern, as long as there is a prototype appearing, the menu of this type of red alert weapon will be added to the base.

It's just that very few prototypes are now available.

"Why don't you give the airship a try?" Meng Xiang was very impressed by the Kirov airship. Looks like the Kirov airship has a lot of armor, right? At this time, there were no missiles and jets, and with machine guns and small-caliber cannons, they were not so lethal to thickly armored airships.

"The prototype of the Kirov airship must be an airship, which one? Or is it just a matter of mastering airship technology? Meng Xiang's first thought was the Zeppelin and the Hindenburg.

"I order, produce an L-type airship, and another SL-type airship!" After having the money, Meng Xiang's mind suddenly became much more active, and many ideas that were not qualified to be realized before can now be verified.

Because the Zeppelin was put into military service in World War I, there is a list of such airships in World War I weapons.

The SL type is actually not a model, it is just a wooden keel airship manufactured by the Schutt-Lunze company used by the Luftwaffe at that time, and the service number is SL. However, the German navy rejected this type of airship on the grounds of weight, and adopted an aluminum keel airship manufactured by Zeppelin, which was uniformly numbered L. It can't be said to be one model, there are two or three different models of the Navy number L airship alone. The L-30 to L-34 are the latest. At the beginning, Meng Xiang chose this type of airship with a larger tonnage in the later period according to the year.

Production was carried out in two tank factories together, and the production of airships occupied all the production lines, but the small tonnage of airships slowly solidified their huge bodies in the tank factories at a speed of three tons per hour.

"It's spectacular!" When the airship was raised, Meng Xiang, who had come to visit, couldn't help but be shocked.

The sheer hull of the boat occupies the entire view of the people watching from below.

Led Zeppelin, though huge, is a bit of a strong outsider. The ultimate weapon that the Germans once fantasized about could only become a torch for the gods after the appearance of the British high-explosive and white phosphorus bombs. In World War I, the Germans' battle losses of more than 80 airships seemed somewhat disproportionate to the record of more than 50 sorties in which only more than 1,000 people died.

Its greatest effect was to inflict a terrifying, strategic spiritual blow on the British.

"If there are more isolation cabins and replaced with helium, it seems that the living space of the airship can last for more than ten years, right? Even if it doesn't work, it will be civilian. The carrying capacity of the airship is well suited for long-distance large-tonnage transportation. Meng Xiang himself was pondering, according to the surname of the plane at this time, the two airships could only be dished.

"Now that it has been produced, it is good to use the airship's high-altitude energy for reconnaissance and high-altitude mapping in the base area, so as not to waste it." Meng Xiang comforted himself like this, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to throw it in, but the shadow of the Kirov airship still did not appear.

"Isn't it the right way? Or are the conditions insufficient? Meng Xiang has been pondering, "The Russians have never heard of building a particularly famous airship, but the German airship is more famous, after World War II, the Russians plundered a large amount of information from the Germans, thus improving the ability to manufacture airships." The prototype must still be a German airship. Judging from the example of the alert cannon, it seems that you don't need to make it yourself, you just need to have the prototype yourself. Could it be the Hindenburg? It's a pity that it exploded last year. So ......"

Meng Xiang suddenly thought of the Count Zeppelin, the giant airship that was dismantled by Goering Fat two years later.
