Chapter 160: New Defense Construction in the Wasteland
PS: In order to thank everyone for their efforts, this book has finally been on the list, and the ten more that we promised to do so will also be sent today.
This is the first chapter, and there are nine more chapters to follow, and the ten chapters of the plan started at twenty-two o'clock yesterday and will be completed at ten o'clock this morning.
――――
The sky in the wasteland was still so vast, and after a week of heavy rain, there was a damp smell of earth everywhere.
A lot of things are approaching in this world, and Cai Ruichen occasionally takes the time to come to the wasteland to have a look.
After all, the current wasteland has become the main source of funds for the base, and the construction of the technology expansion station has not yet been completed, so the resource extraction work of the wasteland world has not begun.
This is not good news for an upcoming fight.
The minerals in Mozabi are only enough to consume the technology expansion station, and there is simply no extra money to serve the war effort.
At present, it is only 30,000 yuan a day to provide consumption, and there is less than 500,000 reserve funds to support.
In terms of currency, due to the gold collected from the wasteland world and the electricity bills paid by the Iraqi government from now on, Cai Ruichen also decisively stopped arms sales.
It's not that he's afraid that the arms he sells will come back and pose a threat to the Red Guard, and he doesn't have any such concerns at all.
Because even if you don't sell them, there are many arms dealers operating in Iraq, and others can't buy your weapons and ammunition, so you can buy someone else's.
The reason for stopping the sale of arms and ammunition is that there is only one purpose, to save money and prepare for war.
In the future, when the troops participate in the war, the ammunition consumption will definitely be a lot, and it will be able to save a little bit.
Then there are such small-scale arms sales. For Cai Ruichen. It's just a drop in the bucket. Or maybe the scale is just not enough.
His vision is big and grandiose, and there is no need to compete with those international arms dealers for any market.
After all, those arms dealers are also supported by the officials of various countries. Coupled with petty fights, it is not Cai Ruichen's style at all.
Therefore, the trade and sale of arms was simply stopped.
As for whether the outside world will think of anything because of this, it is not something that Cai Ruichen can control.
Maybe some sensitive people will think of Idris in Marin Town as a new move?
But for Cai Ruichen, it doesn't matter. Anyway, there are many places where the outside world conjectures about him, and he doesn't care about this.
The wasteland world is still the same, and the engineers with the survivors have begun to dig into the heart of the mountain again.
The discovery of some construction vehicles in Mozabi has increased the efficiency of land reclamation, but it will take a month or two to dig up the new copper and iron ore inside.
And Cai Ruichen has already begun to plan, as long as the mobile platform of the technology expansion station is completed. Immediately build an ore refining plant and ore extractor in Valley No. 1 to increase the daily income as soon as possible.
As for large-scale mining in the future. After the engineering troops have built the road in, there will be a natural way.
What he needs to do now is to strive to increase the income of the fund to about 500,000 yuan in a short period of time.
However, due to the fact that the construction units of the main base can only be built one at a time, the technology expansion station that takes a week is already in production, and all subsequent plans can only be postponed.
Fortunately, a week has passed, and those minerals that are easy to mine will soon be put to good use.
However, some minerals are too far away from the base, and safety issues will become critical.
At present, due to the beginning of preparations for the battle of Samarra in the present world, almost all the soldiers recruited are carried out in the barracks of the present world, and it is not the turn of the wasteland for the time being.
And it is possible that as the battle for Samarra begins, it will also need to be replenished.
For this reason, Cai Ruichen also focused on defense construction in the wasteland world.
Since the number of troops cannot be increased, the construction of defensive units should be increased.
The construction range with a radius of 100 meters not only completely covers Erbil, but also has a surplus.
This time, Cai Ruichen also learned the lesson of the last time, and directly built a wall to surround the entire Erbil.
That's right, it is to use the wall to directly enclose the entire city, and once the metropolis is successfully occupied in the future, the outer wall can also be used as a defensive wall.
As for now, it's a giant cage that encloses the entire city.
And this time, in the face of those mutants who can jump up to six floors, Cai Ruichen also made a lot of money.
It is planned that over the next two months, 8 million dollars will be spent on the construction of a wall, not only to enclose Erbil, but also to build a double wall.
Taking advantage of the superimposable nature of the wall, if you build a wall directly on the wall, the height of the wall will become 40 meters high, which is almost the height of a 12-story building, and the width will remain at 20 meters wide.
And on the basis of these walls, large-scale construction of defensive weapons, among which the Sentinel Cannon will be built on a large scale.
Although Cai Ruichen really doesn't want to destroy such a prosperous metropolis, when necessary, the sacrifice still has to be sacrificed.
A section of the wall, two sentry guns, and a sentry cannon will be built on the wall, which is definitely the configuration of local tyrant players if it is replaced by a game.
Of course, Cai Ruichen also has some regrets, at present, only the sentry cannon can be used, otherwise he would be more willing to build a magnetic storm coil or Guangling Tower.
Fortunately, the low-profile red police also have a certain amount of gameplay, and the power of the sentry cannon is enough for those mutants.
Naturally, Cai Ruichen is not really eager to have the luxury of those stronger defensive units.
After all, there are some things that can't be forced, and now that the Sentinel Cannon is available, there will be more powerful defensive weapons in the future.
It's just that the size of the 2,000 troops that still remains in the wasteland world is starting to stretch a little as the wall continues to expand and build.
For this reason, Cai Ruichen can only hope that this situation can be changed in the construction plan next month.
At present, he can only strengthen the combat effectiveness of the 2,000-strong troops, and the scale of artillery and rocket launchers is also expanding.
With the mobilization of more than 2,000 third-level elites, the combat effectiveness is still very good.
Moreover, with the cooperation of a large number of military dogs and war eagles, the safety of the wasteland world has actually been increasing.
Especially the giant eagle, which was arranged by Cai Ruichen in the wasteland, this thing is almost invisible every day, and one party is flying everywhere when he goes out.
The twenty ordinary war eagles that were recruited were all like this, every day they were like birds flying away, and their shadows could not be seen.
However, the base can always show the images seen by these war eagles, and these aerial eagles patrol the perimeter of the base every day, monitoring everything on the ground and in the air.
This is much more effective than a simple passive defense of the base. The combination of the two is even more powerful.
In just a few days, Cai Ruichen got a map of the distribution of forces within a radius of 200 kilometers from the base. (To be continued......)
