Chapter 409 Industrial Foundation
The actions of the cleaners and the men in gray are no longer in the category of refusing to save humanity. They are still plunged into a situation of destruction by mankind, but they still refuse to come up with the vaccine they have already mastered to save mankind.
The Orochi people had conducted experiments before releasing the virus on a large scale, which gave humans some time to react. The cleaners, or the men in gray, must have obtained the virus samples immediately and quickly used the Holy Cabinet.
A vaccine was developed.
Because if the cleaners don't have the vaccine until after Orochi releases the virus around the world, they won't have time to vaccinate their own people.
Gao Yuan's impression of these prisoners immediately became extremely bad.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little solemn, because a vaccine that can be 100% immune to zombie viruses is of great significance to human beings.
First, humans can gain time.
Gao Yuan still doesn't know how the Holy Ark works, but he knows that as long as it is a vaccine, it can be copied, so as long as the cleaners take out the vaccine samples, humans can copy the vaccine on a large scale. In this case, alien attacks will be eliminated.
Lost its power.
Although he clearly holds humanity's biggest asset in fighting against aliens, the cleaner refuses to use it because of his own selfish interests. Gao Yuan knew before that the purpose of his trip was to seize the Holy Ark, but he could never intuitively realize the value of the Holy Ark.
location.
But now, Gao Yuan really understands that for a 100% effective vaccine, based on this alone, the Holy Ark must be in the hands of the government responsible for all mankind.
Soult stabbed the knife in a little further, and then he couldn't help but twist the blade slightly, and said sternly: "Say! Where is your holy cabinet! Where is it!"
Surt also knows about the Holy Ark. This is not surprising, because since Knight has a close relationship with Ram and Poseidon, then of course he knows these things.
Francois shouted in pain: "Stop! Stop! How could I know where the holy cabinet is! I don't know!"
In fact, Gao Yuan knew where the Holy Ark was.
"Ask him, what do they produce in their factory in Malakal?"
Now this is an issue that Gao Yuan is more concerned about, because there is almost no industry and no infrastructure here. The cleaners went to this remote place. If it is just to survive longer, then they obviously have no need to build a factory.
"Tell me, what is produced here!"
Soult asked angrily, Francois took a few quick breaths and said: "Cannons, tanks, some weapons, I don't know what they are, but there must be a very basic factory. They originally
We started producing simple tanks, but now the production of tanks has been suspended because there are so many tanks, so now we mainly produce consumables such as shells and bullets."
Can cannons, tanks, bullets and artillery shells be produced by anyone who wants to?
The answer is of course impossible. Guns are okay, but few countries in the world can produce cannons. To produce cannons, you must be an industrial country, or at least have industrial capabilities.
A cannon may seem to have little technical content, but this low-tech weapon tests a country's industrial base in all aspects.
Starting from the most basic, cannons are made of steel, so how about mining the iron ore, smelting the iron ore into steel, and then smelting the steel into gun steel that meets the needs, and then think of gun steel?
Stretch a long rod, and then drill holes from the long rod to make a gun barrel. When the main core component of the gun barrel can be built, other supporting facilities will have production significance.
It was just a cannon that tested the three fundamentals of iron ore mining, smelting, and mechanical processing.
Gao Yuan knew that the cleaners had a complete production line, but that was just a production line. If a complete production line could be moved to a certain place to produce qualified cannons and qualified shells, then what else would be needed for an industrial base?
Just having a production line is definitely not enough, so the cleaners also had basic industrial capabilities and were established on the grassland in the Malakal area. To achieve this level, it is far from a problem that money can solve.
Gao Yuan said worriedly: "Ask them how they did it. What factories are there here?"
Francois spread his hands and said: "There are steel mills, chemical plants, machinery processing plants, and precision machinery processing plants here in Malakal. They can do everything from fraud to fuses. This is a large arsenal complex. Now they
It can produce two kinds of artillery shells, one kind of rifle shells, and... grenades. The technical level is at the level from the end of World War II to the beginning of the Cold War. The bullets are M43 intermediate rounds, the tanks are simplified versions of T55, and the turrets are cast, but I don't
It may enter the factory, so I don’t know how strong the production capacity is, but I think it should be no problem to produce dozens of vehicles a month.”
After Francois finished speaking, he realized that as long as he was talking and what he said was meaningful, he would not be abused for the time being, so he continued: "But now the arsenal here does not actually need to produce too many weapons.
Ammunition, in fact, the existence of the tank factory is a bit embarrassing, because our tanks are not at all...not..."
"Nothing!"
"They are no match for Solar System Company. They have a large number of anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers, so the tanks do not play their role. Also, we have too many tanks and armored vehicles now, but there is a serious shortage of drivers.
.”
Gao Yuan and Li Jingang looked at each other, but Surte nodded and said, "You have a lot of tanks?"
Francois smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, we have seized more than three thousand tanks from Eji, more than three thousand tanks! Up to now, as long as we need it, there is a steady stream of tanks that can be transported from Eji to the ones we need.
There are 800 T55 tanks here now, 600 of which were sent from Eji. Why are they all T55? Because there will definitely be no shortage of shells."
Sirte took a breath of air and said, "Why do you know so clearly?"
"Due to the lack of tank troops, a large number of tanks are parked in the city. They are placed endlessly, and there are also cannons. But there are about 500 artillery pieces here, all of 122 mm and 152 mm calibers. Why are they all of these two types?
caliber, because you can make cannonballs here, and there are endless cannonballs to shoot."
After Francois finished speaking, he thought for a while and continued: "Do you know how many troops the Aegis have? Do you know how much equipment they have? It all belongs to us now, because the aliens are coming and the Aegis cannot resist.
Their cities and population are all concentrated in the Nile Delta. Once the virus breaks out, everyone will be wiped out. There is no way to resist. Large numbers of tanks and artillery are thrown everywhere. We just need to move them and use them. Why do I know this? Because I
Was in the fight against Edge, so I know it."
