#1006 - Chapter 1006: Contentment
Super long-distance flight plan!
Just the name sounds extraordinary.
After the apocalypse, transportation is extremely inconvenient, and many areas have gradually become completely disconnected from other cities, becoming isolated islands.
This is very detrimental to the future revival and development of mankind.
To put it bluntly.
It is not conducive to the expansion and development of the Green Source Base.
Therefore, Qin Jin once discussed with the base cadres about finding more ways to travel long distances.
The base did acquire more than a dozen helicopters during this year's major development, but this is only a drop in the bucket for the vast Guangnan Province, not to mention the need to go to more cities outside Guangnan Province in the future.
Now that the apocalypse has been around for more than a year, the remaining helicopters that can fly will definitely become fewer and fewer.
Relying on scavenging is becoming increasingly difficult.
And such sophisticated flight equipment is unlikely to be manufactured by Green Source in a short period.
So Qin Jin asked others to find another type of aerial transport that the base could produce or assemble itself.
"We discussed this a lot, and finally decided that using airships is the most suitable device!"
Li Xu scratched his head and said bluntly.
Indeed.
Compared to other aircraft that require a running start, or more demanding take-off conditions, most flying vehicles are not suitable for the Green Source Base.
The airport being built by Green Source will mainly be used within China in the future. It may not be possible to fly to more distant foreign regions. Even if it can fly there, it will be useless without landing conditions and refueling conditions.
For example, to save Team Leader Li, you need to fly to the United States, tens of thousands of miles away, which is simply impossible for the current Green Source aerial vehicles to reach.
After discussing with other department personnel, Li Xu concluded that the focus should be on airships.
This type of aerial vehicle, which uses light gas to reduce take-off weight and then relies on engines to generate thrust, does have a very long range.
However, the large airship they had last year was destroyed by the people from the Fuhai Base.
Now the Green Source Base only has another small Airship No. 2 left.
Although the range can barely reach nearly 10,000 kilometers, it takes at least 25,000 miles to travel back and forth to the United States!
This does not include the unknown amount of time needed to stay there to carry out the mission.
Conservatively estimated, it needs to have a range of at least 30,000 or even 40,000 miles to be safe!
"The resources within the entire Guangnan Province are basically waiting for us to use. Recently, I have asked Wang Yang to help pay attention to some factories and enterprises that specialize in producing engines, airship-specific gasbags, and other related equipment."
"Many of the required equipment have already been found by our people, and we believe that we will be able to assemble a super behemoth that surpasses the previous Airship No. 1 in size soon!"
"The range will reach at least 40,000 kilometers! The carrying capacity will also reach about 50 tons!"
"Xu Gong is helping to lead this matter, and the items he mentioned are being collected quickly."
Li Xu introduced the progress of the long-range flight equipment work in one breath.
Super airship!
A behemoth that is several levels larger than ordinary airships!
During peacetime, some airlines abroad also manufactured similar flying objects. According to some reports, such behemoths can be used as aerial palaces, allowing wealthy people to work, live, and entertain themselves on them.
Unfortunately, China, as a democratic country, does not have such capitalist products.
After learning that the base had this need, Xu Gong quickly thought of this equipment.
This is an aerial behemoth that is more suitable for long-distance flight than the Hua-28.
The two have their own advantages.
The Hua-28 has high speed and maneuverability, while the super airship has a terrifying range. The disadvantage is that it loses some maneuverability and stealth.
"Build this super airship as soon as possible!"
"Also, after breaking through the technical barriers, you can also find ways to manufacture some small airships. We will never嫌弃 having too many flying vehicles!"
Qin Jin nodded in agreement and added his own opinion.
The behemoth must be built, and the small ones cannot be let go. As long as the base can manufacture flying objects by itself, that is a victory.
As he said, Green Source will not dislike having too many flying equipment.
Compared to the large number of vehicle carriers owned by the base, the number of aerial carriers is far from enough.
The practicality of airplanes in the apocalypse is much more important than vehicles.
Whether in terms of life development or strategically, flying vehicles have unparalleled advantages.
As long as there is even the smallest aerial vehicle, as long as there are enough bombs, most bases and shelters are no match for Green Source!
It's completely a dimensionality reduction strike!
Li Xu nodded in understanding. He naturally knew what the boss wanted.
The two continued to chat for a while before Qin Jin let Li Xu go back to work.
After arranging and understanding the two things he was concerned about, Qin Jin suddenly became idle again.
Some time ago, he ran around catching mutated zombies every day to extend his life, so he handed over most of the work to Zhao Ling and other cadres.
At this time, those cadres have grown up, allowing him, the leader, to fully disengage.
At least when he runs to deal with other things, everyone knows what they should do.
Qin Jin strolled around the base.
He walked on the road of the branch base, watching those who were busy and whose walking speed was much faster than ordinary people, and suddenly felt a little out of place.
Everyone else is busy, but he, the leader, is doing well, acting as a hands-off shopkeeper and only needs to do what he wants to do.
This feeling is pretty good.
Isn't this the original intention of building the base?
Qin Jin never thought of being a slave to power.
As long as it is safe enough and he lives comfortably, anything is fine. He doesn't care too much about other people's opinions.
Fortunately, the staff in the headquarters base roughly know the leader's appearance, and no one ran over to disturb the leisurely walk of the highest authority.
There was no situation where someone didn't know what was good for them and wanted to take down Qin Jin, this "idle" person.
"I didn't expect that the base I created has become so powerful!"
He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the busy scenes.
A sense of complacency welled up from the bottom of his heart.
This is an affirmation of his efforts.
The loved ones he cares about are all living safely by his side, and the circle of life is still expanding. It can be foreseen that in the future, not only Guangnan Province, but also the surrounding provinces will become the Green Source's controlled area.
A true overlord-level base.
"And this power of mine! It's really like a dream."
Qin Jin walked to the wall of the base and looked into the distance, clenched his fists and continued to revel.
In his previous life, even as a leg evolver, his strength was far less than even one-tenth of what it is now.
In this life, his personal strength has reached an unfathomable level.
He had just fought a battle last night, verifying the terrifying power accumulated over so long of training, but he still hadn't fully tested his full strength.
If Qin Jin really let go and attacked the vitals from the beginning, the Black Boss might not have survived ten seconds before becoming a dead man.
"Will I have any opponents in the future? Tsk tsk."
Just as Qin Jin was reveling and sighing, his phone suddenly rang.
A message came from inside that made all his complacency disappear!
