#221 - Chapter 221 Charging Cabinet
By the time reinforcements from other military regions arrived, the battle was already over.
In this defensive battle, the advantages demonstrated by the laser guns were unanimously recognized by the military and the resettlement camp.
As for the energy rods required for the laser guns, Huatong Chamber of Commerce installed several large charging cabinets in Baisha Resettlement Camp. As long as the energy rods that need to be charged are inserted into them, they will be fully charged quickly. There are counters next to the cabinets that automatically count the number of charges. The resettlement camp only needs to pay monthly according to the number of charges. This completely dispels everyone's energy concerns.
The installation of the cabinets takes time, which is also the reason for the slight delay in the arrival of Huatong Chamber of Commerce's laser guns.
"How do I use this?" An officer came to Baisha Resettlement Camp to visit the charging cabinet.
"This is the induction area, you need to swipe your card." Mayor Xu said, handing the officer a membership card.
The officer took the card and tapped it on the induction area.
"Ding~, clatter~, please insert the energy rod to be charged." With a prompt sound, a square cabinet grid 10 centimeters wide popped open, just like the lockers for storing items in a supermarket.
The officer took an energy rod that needed to be charged from a team member next to him and inserted it.
The caliber was just right, and there was a groove in one direction, so the direction would never be reversed.
"Energy rod inserted, please close the cabinet door." A prompt sounded from the cabinet.
The officer closed the cabinet door.
"Clatter~, please take the new energy rod." The cabinet prompted.
Another cabinet door opened in response, and a new energy rod popped out of it. The energy rod only popped out about two centimeters, so it would not fall to the ground.
The officer took out the energy rod, which showed 100% energy.
"Please close the cabinet door." The voice continued to prompt.
The officer closed the cabinet door again as prompted.
The operation of replacing the energy rod was completed.
The officer nodded.
With this cabinet, each soldier can be issued several more energy rods, which can completely meet the needs of combat missions.
"How long does it take to fully charge an energy rod?" The officer asked.
"I haven't counted it, but according to Huatong Chamber of Commerce, it won't take more than 10 minutes to fully charge a single energy rod." Mayor Xu replied.
"10 minutes!" The officer exclaimed, 10 minutes would be no problem at all.
As long as a few soldiers are arranged to continuously replace the energy rods, the continuous output of the combat troops can be realized.
"Where does the energy of the cabinet come from? Does it rely on electricity?" The officer continued to ask.
"I don't know. We don't have electricity in our resettlement camp. The people from Huatong Chamber of Commerce said that we don't need to worry about the energy of the cabinet, just pay in time according to the number of charges." Mayor Xu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
The officer continued to nod.
He was already very moved and planned to report to Yan Zhengping after returning, striving to equip the military region as well.
Laser guns are definitely a good alternative to traditional submachine guns.
It's really a bit dramatic that the ordinary security guards in the resettlement camp actually have more advanced equipment than them. Who can they reason with?
… …
Northwest Military Region.
"Councilor Shentu, the Motsang Ark base project cannot be stopped, it concerns the future of the entire China. I hope you don't act on impulse." The Speaker said on the phone.
"Your Excellency Speaker, I have already ordered people to speed up the progress. The 300,000 soldiers of the Central Military Region, plus the 60,000 from the three military regions, plus experts from all walks of life, the total number of people is less than 400,000. According to the current speed of screening more than 1,000 people a day, I estimate that it should be completed in about a year." Shentu Zhenghao replied with a straight face.
This was obviously arguing, a year to screen, by then everything would be too late.
"Commander Shentu, aren't you afraid that I will remove you from your post?" The Speaker was very unhappy.
"Whatever!" Shentu Zhenghao ignored him and hung up the phone.
Of course, he was not afraid of being dismissed, because in that case, the entire Northwest region might be completely chaotic.
He cannot actively mention Yan Zhengping's matter, otherwise his action would be a blatant threat to the parliament, and the nature would change.
The Speaker can only take the initiative to bring up the topic.
As for why Shentu Zhenghao dared to do this, in addition to his stubbornness, there are of course special historical reasons. The Shentu family could be said to be a separatist force entrenched in the Northwest in the past. During the founding of China, through the unremitting efforts of the older generation, peaceful unification was achieved.
Another reason is that Shentu Zhenghao has already discovered the Speaker's abnormality.
When he went to Kyoto to meet the Speaker, he mentioned the word 10 years ago. What exactly happened 10 years ago?
10 years ago was just Shentu Zhenghao saying it casually, and there was no corresponding event.
Shentu Zhenghao asked the Speaker: Do you still remember what happened 10 years ago?
The Speaker's answer was: Of course I remember.
This is very problematic.
He continued to ask: What did you do then?
The Speaker refused to answer.
So he had already concluded at that time: There is something wrong with this Speaker.
Then why did he want to test him?
That was because at the last parliamentary meeting, Shentu Zhenghao noticed a strange thing. Originally, the Speaker had always used his left hand to tap the gavel, but last time he accidentally saw that the gavel was placed on the right.
