Hundreds of meters in the air, the flag of the NAC fluttered.
The sky turned white and the light of dawn illuminated the side of the steel behemoth.
The three words painted in white were firmly engraved on the shiny steel.
It was a giant beast that conquered the sky. The steel chimney on its back breathed out white mist and the long cannon on its abdomen ferociously pointed forward!
It was called the "Hammer of Order". It was an electromagnetic pulse cannon specially developed for AS ORDER. The projectile mass could reach 100kg with a maximum angle of -70 ° and a suppression radius of up to 350 kilometers!
It was AS ORDER's super long range main weapon!
At the bottom hung a honeycomb-shaped "Fireball-1" launcher that could unleash 200 rockets in one minute. It could suppress long-range ground targets and make the logistics team cry. Four 12.76mm anti-air machine guns made up for the airship's lack of close range defense. Two laser anti-missile devices could accurately intercept most home-made missiles.
These were all of AS ORDER's weapons.
Because of its large size, low mobility, and lack of cover in the air, AS ORDER could only provide limited firepower support to ground units far from the battlefield. But compared to firepower support, the steel behemoth's battlefield positioning was more for long-distance transportation, aerial aircraft carrier, and rapid deployment of land forces.
In this dangerous land, there was no unit more suitable for long-distance travel than flying above the clouds.
Power armors, kinetic skeletons, rifles, rocket launchers, ammunition …
Batches of war equipment were pulled up to the belly of the giant beast to complete the preparation for war.
Due to the consideration of space conservation, the supplies on the airship were only liquid food. The nutrient supply was produced on Ange Island. Whether in terms of nutrition or taste, it was far superior to the "zombie juice" and mutated fruit from the Sixth Street.
"Be careful! You're holding incendiary bombs! If it's damaged, I promise you won't even be able to scoop out a single piece! " The supervisor wearing a military cap stood next to the elevator and shouted. He directed a few slaves to install the rocket launcher on the cable and then pressed the bell.
Followed by the faint sound of electricity, the cable was pulled up to the airship.
Standing on the watchtower of Camp 27, Jiang Chen watched the scene below the airship from afar and narrowed his eyes.
"Why not use robots?"
Wang Zhaowu stood next to Jiang Chen. Hearing the Marshal's question, he immediately answered.
"In Wang Qin's words … in order to avoid trouble, we have to find some work for these slaves."
Jiang Chen nodded.
That's true.
However, compared to the rapid development of the modern world, the apocalypse only had high technology, but it was unable to turn it into production capacity. It was hard to imagine that this was the 22nd century from the people who used their muscles to carry the goods.
For example, with the continuous resource transfusion from MLL Island and the New Malaysia Special District, the robot assembly plant on Ange Island could produce 500,000 robots a month. Although the technology of these housekeeping robots was "not high" compared to the service robots in the Sixth Street, it was more like a "single-function" toy.
But if the Sixth Street factories were to produce these robots, it would be impossible to produce 500,000 units.
It was the same for the Phantom Helmet.
If they did not use 3D printing technology, they would be able to produce 1 million units a month at most. However, the production capacity in the real world was 20 times that here!
But at the same time, the technology in the modern world would not be able to produce the T-series power armor and the K1 kinetic skeleton. The production capacity in the apocalypse was low, but the production process and technology were ridiculously high.
"How's the preparation for the expedition?" Jiang Chen asked.
"We can depart at any time." Wang Zhaowu stood at attention.
Jiang Chen nodded again.
He was satisfied with Wang Zhaowu's work, and he was more reassured about the expedition.
Starting from the beginning of the year, NAC conducted a spring recruitment. The original divisions expanded from 2000 to 5000 people. The entire NAC force expanded to 15,000 people, becoming a force to be reckoned with in the entire Asia region.
After he returned, he made some adjustments to the deployment of the three divisions.
From the Sixth Street to Shenxiang, the defense of the entire Wanghai area was under the responsibility of the First Division led by Cheng Weiguo. Cheng Weiguo was one of the earliest survivors who followed him. From the militia training position at the Fishbone base to the current division commander.
Jiang Chen was reassured to let him guard his hometown.
The Third Division was led by Zhao Gang, a survivor who followed Jiang Chen in the early years. He was a man of few words, and he was loyal to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had helped him before, and he had been loyal ever since he started following Jiang Chen. After this adjustment, they were stationed in Zajia to guard the gateway to the southwest of Wanghai and protect the important trade route south of Dianshan Lake.
The expedition this time was under the responsibility of the Second Division.
Even though the net load of 500 tons wasn't small, the transport capacity needed to carry each soldier was close to 200 kilograms. This included the equipment, ammunition, and supplies needed by a soldier. It was not as simple as a person's weight.
To maximize the combat capability, the giant airship was only equipped with 400 combat personnel, 50 flight attendants, and 20 logistics personnel. At the same time, the supplies of the steel airship would be provided by the unarmed small airship.
All the soldiers selected to participate in the expedition were the elites of the Third Division. They participated in the insect wave breakout, rescued the Fishbone base, and counterattacked the city center. They were all veterans. They were armed to the teeth with kinetic skeletons. Their equipment and fighting spirit were impeccable.
Jiang Chen would be the captain, and Wang Zhaowu would be the vice captain.
After the expedition, the next captain and vice captain would be selected based on their achievements. At the same time, the airship would be kept as an independent combat unit, independent of the three divisions like the Hunter Division.
Jiang Chen gazed at the rising sun and the airship in preparation. He squinted his eyes as he allowed his emotions to surge. A curvature appeared on his face.
"General, please inspect the soldiers." Wang Zhaowu nodded.
Jiang Chen nodded for the third time.
He turned around and looked at the neat military uniforms on the square of Camp 27, as well as the heads that were raised up high …
He gently closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
The boiling blood in his chest was released along with the roar.
"Everyone!"
"I like war!"
Without extra words, without an impassioned declaration, the prelude to the expedition was simply and crudely opened.
Bring civilization to the wasteland!
Bring the shackles of order to the barbarians there!
Use the guns in their hands to plant the flag of the NAC into the heart of the wasteland!
And what responded to Jiang Chen was the same earth-shattering roar and the raised rifles!
"War-!"
