Armor Frenzy

After the convoy entered the Qingtang boundary for more than 100 kilometers, a neat building finally appeared at the end of the horizon.

At this time, there was only a trace of afterglow left in the sun, and the sunset glowed obliquely, reflecting the green pond in front of it in a fiery red.

Xiao Yuan stood up with a flick of his body and looked at the buildings in front of him: "It's finally here!"

Ye Han chuckled and looked towards Qingtang City. He unexpectedly found that the end of the pasture was a building complex. He unexpectedly found that Qingtang did not have a retaining wall!

The retaining wall is not a city wall, it can also be a layer of barbed wire, or a trench with a span of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, etc. In short, the retaining wall is the first line of defense for the city to defend against giant insects, as long as it can play this role. , can be regarded as a retaining wall.

But there is nothing like it outside Qingtang urban area. There are only a few isolated machine gun towers on the edge of the city, and behind the machine gun towers is the urban area.

In Ye Han's impression, major cities across the country have long rebuilt protective walls. Qingtang is the largest human gathering area in the west. Isn't the biggest feature of the city's high walls and thick walls?

However, after a second thought in my mind, I figured it out. Qingtang is located in the west, with a vast area and sparse population. The natural resources are relatively poor. There are not many giant insects that can survive here. The possibility of large-scale insect swarms is very small. And small-scale insect swarms are not a climate at all, and the city defense system can handle it!

Having said that, I have to talk about the current urban defense system. If the military's previous operational policy was to actively defend against the enemy, then the current policy is to preserve strength by replacing offense with defense.

As early as the beginning of the outbreak of the insect plague, Beidu gradually established multiple core cities to gather a large number of people and avoid unnecessary losses caused by excessive population dispersion.

Since then, the architectural style of the city has made a 180-degree turn. Whether it was originally refined and graceful or magnificent, it has all turned to be robust and durable.

To put it simply, it is to build thicker walls and make windows smaller, so that insects cannot dig through and get in.

Such a building is definitely not as comfortable as living in before the war, but it is worse than safety. Even the interior of the building is designed with necessary separation. Once the insect swarms attack on a large scale, every building can be transformed into a bunker, like a mainstay against insects. group.

Even the buildings before the insect disaster have undergone a comprehensive transformation, not to mention the buildings after the insect disaster. They are completely fortified at all, so they are officially called fortress buildings!

As for the folk names, there are many names. In some places, they are directly called gun towers, watchtowers, or fort towers because of their functions; in some places, they are called pigeon towers because of their narrowness, and they are called tube towers because of their height, and gray towers because of their color. Yes, there are many kinds, all kinds.

Right now, Ye Han and others can only see the periphery of Qingtang. All the buildings are fortresses. They are of the same height, similar in length and width. The surface of the unadorned concrete is rough but very strong, and the windows are as small as shooting holes.

To put it badly, this thing is indeed not much different from a real fortress. Just find a window and put a machine gun on it, and you can block the street; if you put machine guns on several windows at the same time, you can form crossfire.

The firepower of the fortress is naturally more than that. Generally, it is a bottom-level machine gun, a middle-level support firepower, a top-level anti-aircraft firepower, a combination of far, middle and near, and a complete range of low, medium and high levels. It is not generally easy to use against insect swarms.

With the scale of Qingtang, without its 1.8 million giant insects, it is impossible to break through the city, and it makes no difference whether or not to protect the wall.

There are dozens or hundreds of such cities in the country, and each city uses its strong arms to protect human beings.

However, such a city is only available in China, which is known as an infrastructure maniac. Foreign countries do not have such sufficient building materials, nor do they have such a rapid construction speed. According to the authoritative records of Beidu, a 30-story fortress building is built from foundation to completion. The shortest construction period is only nine days, the longest is only fourteen days, and the average is only twelve days!

This achievement is a miracle created by engineers working in three shifts day and night. In other words, as long as the building materials are available, an engineering team can build 30 standard fortress buildings a year, with 24 households per floor. Calculated with four people per household, each building can accommodate 720 households and 2,880 people.

Due to the large population and shortage of materials, the distribution of fort buildings by household is rare. In most cases, people are stuffed into the buildings as much as possible like the military barracks. The average number of people in each building is no less than 4,000.

Of course, in Beidu, it’s not like just stuffing people into the building and everything will be fine. With so many people crowded into a limited space, it doesn’t matter if the time is short. If the time is long, there will be various conflicts and conflicts, various management systems, and materials. Supply, environmental sanitation, entertainment and punishment measures must all be kept up in time. Any shortcoming will cause unpredictable consequences.

There have been problems in personnel management in major cities. After years of experience and lessons, an effective management plan has been formed.

While thinking about it, the convoy approached Qingtang, and the road passed directly between the two fortress buildings. The width of the road and the building were basically the same.

Ye Han was surprised again here, because there were no roadblocks at the intersection, but a registration office sign was hung on the first floor of the left fort building, and several people dressed as civilians were waiting in line outside the registration office.

Seeing the convoy approaching, the individual looked over involuntarily. Everyone's expressions were different, some were envious, some were apprehensive, and some were longing.

Ye Hanchong the registration office Nunuzui: "What is this place registered for?"

Xiao Yuan smirked: "It's definitely not marriage!"

"Let's go, I didn't ask you!" Ye Han reprimanded angrily.

Gu Cheng said: "It should be the out-of-city registration office. After registering here, you can leave the city~www.readwn.com~ and change weapons and equipment from the military."

"It's that simple?" Ye Han was astonished. Shouldn't the registration of mercenaries be subject to strict approval and political review?

"How complicated can it be?" Gu Cheng was also surprised, "Is it necessary to check the eight generations of the ancestors?"

Ye Hanxin said that when the military is on trial, it is the eighth generation of the ancestors: "That can't be such a child's play, right?"

"There must be a basic review, but that is to check whether there is a criminal record or something." Gu Cheng said.

Ye Han immediately became interested: "What if you have a criminal record? What if you don't?"

"If you have a criminal record, you must strictly review it, and you can pass it if you correct yourself. If you don't have a criminal record, you must be persuaded again. If you really can't persuade, the registration office can help you find a senior mercenary to lead the way."

Ye Han was shocked, didn't he just register as a mercenary? And this kind of operation? Aren't they letting people out of the city just to ease the population pressure? This is really just to train mercenaries on purpose, okay? u
