Rise of the Wasteland

Three Hundred and Eighty Fifth Chapter No Way

In a warehouse in the port of Nassau, a high-pressure boiler sits quietly among a pile of debris. Next to the boiler are a large number of accessories, and there are several rusty oil tanks, which contain kerosene.

An engineer from the Newport News Shipyard was very puzzled after inspection, "These oil tanks seem to have been here for decades, it doesn't seem like it has been shipped for a long time. The kerosene in the tank has a lot of dross, The quality is poor, but can be used to spray coal to increase the combustion value.

And that boiler is even more amazing. Although it looks old, there is still some fresh circulating water in the boiler, as if it has just been repaired. All parts are lubricated and function well.

Oh... and speaking of lubrication. I also found a large amount of lubricating butter in the boiler. The packaging is also an old product that has been stored for decades, but it can basically be used, but the appearance is not very good. It can be said that the things here are exactly what we need now, and all our problems are perfectly solved, which is simply amazing! "

It was really amazing. This scene made a bunch of engineers who came to check the situation stupefied. Everyone was thinking to themselves: Why such a coincidence? Everything we want is here, it is simply a blessing from God!

"Hahaha..., this is just a coincidence, I found it just by looking around. If it works, just ship it away immediately." Zhou Qingfeng swaggered out of the warehouse with a relaxed pace.

Dr. Lei Zuo didn't have time to investigate the reasons. Now that the battleship assembly was in a hurry, he quickly dispatched cranes and trailers to transport all the equipment here to the ship repair yard. Before obtaining a stable fuel supply, the ship repair yard is the only unit that can use internal combustion engine vehicles at will.

After Zhou Qingfeng settled the matter of the high-pressure boiler, he reported it to Lena Fox on the radio. The understatement of "get it done" made the little fox laugh like he stole a chicken.

But the matter of the boiler reminded Zhou Qingfeng that what he can get from the real world is not just some old clothes, he can definitely get some waste industrial products.

There are too few skilled workers in the Nassau ship repair yard, and the industrial equipment is not complete. It may be okay to do some repairs. If you really want to mass-produce certain equipment, you may continue to encounter problems such as the inability to weld high-pressure boilers.

And the machine repair shop that Zhou Qingfeng just visited in reality has a lot of rusty equipment and supplies that no one wants, and if they get waste soil, they can be of great use. We must know that there are too many things missing in the wasteland. Sometimes it is necessary to solve the need first, and the technology does not need to be too advanced.

The boiler adjustment, re-testing, and final outfitting work are also going on day and night. This situation has not been publicized, Mr. Wade as '007' is a worker who controls the rolling mill, and he doesn't even know about it, let alone inform 'Enclave' of the follow-up situation.

However, as the current controller of the waters of Cuba and the Bahamas, Mr. George, the military adviser, does not want to see the possibility of the warships of the "Aurora Legion" continuing to improve and launch. Although he is arrogant, he also knows that he cannot let his opponent continue to develop.

Now that the opponent's boiler has a problem, then we must take this opportunity to completely destroy the opponent's dream of conquering the ocean - destroying the ship repair yard of the "Aurora Legion" in Nassau is the best way.

"Let's go, let's go to Nassau, and teach that yellow-skinned monkey a lesson. Let him know that the ocean does not belong to the inferior yellow race, but to our noble white people." George encouraged the eight armed speedboats under his command before the battle. A fleet that weighs less than a thousand tons is currently the king of the Caribbean Sea.

But before departure, George's fleet was not without trouble, "It takes more than a thousand nautical miles to and from Nassau, we need to prepare more diesel."

Armed speedboats are originally used for offshore patrols, and their range is limited and they cannot run too far. For them, going from Havana to Nassau is simply an expedition. To fill the fuel tanks of the George Fleet requires hundreds of tons of diesel.

As far as the limited capacity of the Havana refinery is concerned, the deployment of hundreds of tons of diesel oil requires the consent of many people. And this information was quickly passed to the ears of Lena Fox, who was sitting in Matanzas, by someone with a heart.

"Miss Fox, a smuggler named Korma sent us a message saying that the entire George Fleet in Havana was dispatched. Not only did they fill up the fuel tanks, but they also came with a lot of oil drums," the assistant reported.

"There are a lot of oil drums attached to the whole dispatch?" Lena Fox frowned. The attack on Matanzas from Havana was not far away, and no extra fuel was needed, which indicated that George's fleet must be going further afield. "Inform Nassau that the Enclave's small fleet should be heading in their direction."

"It will take about a day to cover a distance of 500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 24 knots." Zhou Qingfeng, who got the news in Nassau, only glanced at the map to know when the enemy would arrive.

However, according to Dr. Lei Zuo's report, even if a suitable high-pressure boiler is obtained, it will take two days to complete the transformation and testing of the entire warship. In other words, it will take at least two days before the steam battleship can be launched to scare people, and the actual combat effectiveness is still a question.

"We can't let the enemy get close to the Nassau ship repair yard these two days." What Zhou Qingfeng can do is try his best to stop it.

Is AC-130U dispatched? This kind of trump card is easy to use, but it is an authentic oil tiger. After using it, the oil depot in Nassau will cry. It is better not to use this thing unless it is absolutely necessary.

A suicide drone? It turns out that slow-moving drones are easy to shoot down with machine guns unless they are taken by surprise. Doing so will just waste precious drones.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Qingfeng didn't come up with a good idea, and finally he could only come up with a non-solution - to install rapid-fire guns and 'Javelin' missiles on more than a dozen small steamers, and arrange them near Nassau port and ship repair yards as Floating turrets prevent enemies from approaching their vital points.

"Floating turret? Is this thing useful or not?" Katerina is in Nassau, and is responsible for training the army and police with Minsk. When she heard that there was an enemy attack, she naturally wanted to come to Zhou Qingfeng to discuss it.

"Our small steamer can't run fast and has no armor. We can only anchor at the harbor and wait for the opponent to attack. The only way is to equip it with better weapons. We can't beat it, we can't drive it away, we must defend it anyway Stay."

This kind of passive defense completely lost its flexibility, it was purely a posture of waiting to be beaten. But even so, Katerina had to remind Zhou Qingfeng: "The stock of the 'Javelin' missiles we brought out from New York is running out, so save some time."

Alas..., if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive the firewood is. As the head of the army, Zhou Qingfeng has to find ways to maintain this group. It's really hard work! Now..., by the way, the enemy wouldn't be so stupid and directly hit Lao Tzu's fire circle, right? (To be continued.)
