460 Preparations for Evacuation
This large-scale military building plan was put on the agenda as early as when Zhong Mingzhao led his team back to the underground base.
After returning to the base until one month after the Republic was officially established, the plan had moved from paper to reality.
The grand underground dock group was restored, and the worn-out hulls were dismembered and then re-smelted and forged into qualified military steel.
Citizens of the underground base perform their duties and are already preparing in advance for their future journey. Every day, a large number of canned foods are taken off the production line, and various spare parts are slowly filling the warehouse.
The base's current living supplies have been under control, in order to save surplus grain for future days as planned.
After the resumption of production, the dock was the first to repair and upgrade the existing fleet, and the old ships were assigned to the second and third fleets for daily training and base defense.
The Yellow River was also started at the same time, which was confirmed, which is also the reason for the objective progress of the mothership.
Then the construction of a large number of various types of Shenzhou carriers were started. Whether it was the standing army or the immigrant freight, the demand for such transport warships was in short supply.
And how much base can be moved in the end depends on the Republic's capacity at that time, not to mention that Zhong Mingzhao is still worried about the millions of people.
Do you really need to use a carrier to bring 50,000 people like canned food?
How can everyone bear such a long road!
Still not enough transportation capacity...
...
In this way, two more months passed in a flash, and it was three months after the Battle of Hell Gate.
While some forces are still enjoying the peace brought by the Zerg being repelled, the Republic of China has been operating under high pressure for three months, and its results can be described as horror.
First of all, the second, and all the third fleets have been formed, and whether they are existing warships or newly-appointed armed carriers, they can already meet the needs of war.
There are more than 100 conventional battleships and more than 400 small and medium-sized ships after the new construction has been repaired and upgraded;
30 military-type carriers and 20 freight carriers;
50,000 Xuanwu Type 4, 10,000 Xuanwu Type 5 power armor, 2,000 round-spotted Viper Armed Gunboats...
This is the total number of ships in the two legions. The number is not large, even nearly twice the number of ships in the heyday of the joint fleet.
However, this elite military policy can save a lot of base production capacity, improve the efficiency of troops' execution, and avoid bloated teams.
Such a configuration is enough for the second and third legion to independently perform conventional operations. The combat effectiveness of the mobile infantry with up to 60,000 people and the main fleet will not be much worse than before.
Secondly, the Yellow River mothership has entered the final stage and is expected to be fully completed in another month.
All kinds of production lines on the ship have been completed and are currently under debugging and installation. All 500 advanced fighter jets have been in place, just before Wang Fei's last batch of students graduated.
At the same time, the production of the Shenzhou carrier has never stopped. Because it has been producing military versions, the production progress of the civil version has been significantly behind.
Based on current capacity estimates, it is estimated that nearly half of the refugees will not be able to board the ship, not to mention that more refugees may join on the way.
To this end, Zhong Mingzhao focused on base production on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also working hard to optimize various proportions and seeking more means of transportation.
...
However, just as everything was steadily advancing and the expedition plan was about to be realized, the Zerg, who had been dormant for three months, suddenly rose up and instantly swallowed up the outer settlement north of the Destiny Desert. At the same time, the underground base of the Destiny Desert immediately lost contact.
The Zerg's new offensive has arrived.
On that day, Wang Fei had just completed the graduation ceremony of the last batch of flight students and was given away by a group of students.
After coming out, Wang Fei was called away by Zhong Mingzhao. After some secret talks, his [Nether Fleet] received his first mission since its establishment.
Find ways to find a ship for the Republic that can increase its capacity!
Wang Fei happily accepted the order and set off with his crew on the brand new hairy crabs that day.
Zhong Mingzhao means that the Zerg is about to arrive, and the Republic will never come to the Battle of Hell again, so it must be opened in advance.
The vast majority of people in the base cannot abandon them, so they must find a way to bring them with them.
There are only two ways to increase capacity: one is to build your own ship, and the other is to go out and grab the ship.
The ship and the base are already being built, but not enough.
Captain Wang has a brilliant record in stealing ships, so he was entrusted with important tasks by Zhong Mingzhao and started his old job of stealing ships.
When Wang Fei learned about it, he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would exceed the task, provided that he would take Xu Pi away.
Zhong Mingzhao weighed the pros and consequently approved Wang Fei's request. The base that has already been on track has greatly reduced the demand for advanced AI, which can be maintained by low-level AI. As for the research institute, it can only be slowed down temporarily.
...
After leaving, the crew members who re-boarded the Hairy Crab Crab Crab were all extremely excited because after three months, the Hairy Crab Crab Crab was finally fully in full force.
At the beginning, time was urgent, and the inside of the Hairy Crab, which was urgently sailing, was chaotic, just like the demolition site. Later, after two shots from the insects, the ship became even more chaotic, and everyone was not in the mood to have a good tour.
After returning, Wang Fei immediately threw the hairy crab into the dock for overhaul. During this period, no one on the boat could enter and exit. All the engineering robots in and out were restless engineering robots, which made the crew members feel itchy.
Now, this domestic warship has finally been reborn from the ashes, how can it not excite the crew?
"Hmph, there is still some time on the road. I'll give you an hour to get familiar with the environment inside the ship and return to the bridge to report in an hour!"
Wang Fei snorted proudly and waved his hand to let go of the curious crew members. He was very confident about his ship.
The crew immediately dispersed. Several girls with beautiful smiles deliberately made a few faces when passing by Wang Fei, and then disappeared outside the bridge with a smile.
The newly renovated hairy crab has a simple and soft interior decoration, and the tones are also warm, making people feel particularly comfortable.
If you only visit the boat, it will even make people feel like you are in a cruise ship, not a cold warship.
Because time is limited, the crew members basically only visited the inside of the ship island and the crew living area below, and accepted their respective living pods.
The island is an activity area for the core crew members, and the living facilities inside are complete, but there is one that is not as good as the living area for ordinary crew members downstairs.
That is the huge ship-in-ship ecological park.
At this time, the ecological park that had been cultivated was covered with green trees and gurgling water, which made people feel very happy after seeing it, and temporarily forgot the raging wind and sand outside.
After returning to the bridge, everyone returned to their seats, but Su Xiaoyi landed behind and finally stopped in front of Wang Fei.
"Where is my cabin?"
Su Xiaoyi glared at Wang Fei and asked viciously.
"Your cabin?"
Wang Fei pretended to behave for a while, and finally pretended to realize it:
"Hey, I forgot to tell you!
For safety considerations, the captain's office and the deputy captain's office are a group of large suites, which share a defense system and access control.
When you see the door with the captain's room sign hanging, just push it open~”
After hearing this, Su Xiaoyi's pretty face turned red and she couldn't help but kick Wang Fei hard.
"Safety question, ha?"
"That's right, it's just a safety consideration! After all, the captain's room is the safest area in the island, so I have to be responsible for the safety of the deputy captain~"
Wang Fei rubbed his calf and explained seriously.
"Tsk, I believe you! Let me see if I will let you in the door in the future!"
Su Xiaoyi gave Wang Fei a big roll of his eyes, snorted and entered the cic.
Wang Fei smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the screen in front of him, and a huge and compact steel city appeared on it.
"Hey, I'll choose you~"
Chapter completed!
