dawn effect

Chapter 107
Tangning was thinking about another question, "The mutant creature Liangzhou encountered is too powerful. If such a creature appears in the waterways of our settlement, how should we deal with it?"

"By the way, Xiaozhi, is the light that Liangzhou found a signal?"

"Yes. After comparison, I found that the light sign is a piece of programming language, and after compilation it is a piece of audio."

"Broadcast it."

"...If someone later sees Liangzhou, I hope you can collect this light signal."

"Today is March 18th, 25. Liangzhou was completely destroyed by monsters in the Han River. Mutant beasts finally invaded the city. After the power wireless transmission tower was knocked down, we completely lost hope."

"We have persisted for 14 years and [-] days, and now it is the last moment."

"What we want you to know is that we didn't bow to fate, we just fought it to the death."

The voice is calm, as if describing a simple fact.

Everyone was silent, and Zhang Qiuyi's eyes were full of tears.

"They are all well-deserved heroes." Chief Vanke said.

"Do we need to send this audio to Sichuan?" Director Zhao hesitated: "Will it... affect morale?"

"I think the people in the settlements have the right to know." Zhang Qiuyi said: "The settlements are full of optimism now, and we should let everyone know that the situation is still very serious."

"But the Secretary-General just delivered a speech..."

"I don't think there is a problem. At least we have made significant progress in our work of trying to contact the outside world. After all, we know that humans are in Qinzhou, Jincheng, and there are bases."

"While inspiring people, it should also let everyone see the situation clearly and prepare quickly."

"We will report our opinions to the Academy of Sciences. As for the Ministry of the Interior and the military, you can decide for yourself."

Director Zhao discussed with the two section chiefs: "Then let's report collectively in the name of our joint working group."

……

……

On the eve of New Year's Day in the 25th year of Datong, the United Council notified all residents of the major progress in foreign exploration.

Under the aerial photography, people saw Qinzhou at 20 degrees north latitude and Jincheng at 34 degrees 36 years later for the first time.

The short speeches of the leaders of the two places to the people of Shuzhou were also broadcast, which made the residents feel very excited; and the dilapidated city of Liangzhou and the language of the light signals left behind also made the residents cherish the present day even more.

Qinzhou and Jincheng have uploaded a lot of information. Before Datong, Qinzhou had a population of 600 million, and Jincheng had a population of 1000 to 150 million. Now Qinzhou has 400 million and Jincheng has [-] million.

The population of the two places is not large, so the disaster of undead and mutants is much lighter than that of Sichuan. The problem they face is not to "clear and suppress", but to find them in a vast land with few people.

Qinzhou is located at the western end of the Qinling Mountains and the middle reaches of the Weihe River. The problems faced by the residents are more from the various mutant beasts in the Qinling Mountains. Judging from the uploaded albums, some of them are the same as those in Central Shu, and they also have many of their own characteristics.

For example, the "Yellow Dragon" in the Han River is strange, but fortunately, the current water depth of the big river is not enough to allow that kind of disaster to go up to Qinzhou.

In order to fight against the mutant beasts, Qinzhou built a thick city wall similar to that of ancient times. The city wall was full of bastions, and the weapons used were conventional thermal weapons.

Jincheng is located in the northwest, and the precipitation was scarce in the past, but now it is just right and more suitable for human habitation.

However, the southwestern part will also face the harassment of plateau migratory mutant creatures, the Qilian Mountains animal swarms often occur in the northwest, and the pests, rats, birds, and wolves often occur in the northeast.

But even so, a triangular area with Jincheng as the center and Qinzhou in the southeast, Liangzhou in the northwest, and Tongcheng in the northeast as the outer corners has developed there.

Now it is continuing to develop along the ancient road connecting the northwest since ancient times.

Because of the rich mineral deposits, excellent sunshine conditions, and flat terrain, the ancient means of transportation, the automated railway, has been restored between the four local cities.

Inside the heavy-duty steel rails are communication cables, on which run super-power ion-powered locomotives, and which pull thick armored deck carriages. This method realizes urban management and transportation across cities.

Different from Shuzhong's high-tech development route, Jincheng relies on its own advantages to develop the steel industry and automated agriculture.

They have also developed their own armed system, mainly conventional weapons, and the top weapons are bionic mechs, orbital heavy artillery, and heavy tanks.

Because the population is too small, both men and women have to serve long-term military service.

As for whether the yellow dragon that appeared in Liangzhou will appear near Meizhou and Shudu, the Academy of Sciences also gave an explanation. , is not enough to allow giant aquatic creatures to swim upstream.

However, the Tuojiang and Minjiang Rivers during the flood season do have such risks. Therefore, Han'an and Zizhou along the Tuojiang River, Meizhou along the Minjiang River, and even the weir mouths all have the risk of giant aquatic organisms attacking.

Fortunately, the giant underwater light mine has been successfully developed, and it has been deployed at the most important weirs. The rest of the cities will also be deployed one after another to strengthen their defense functions.

All in all, the news of the new year is exciting. In any case, this is the first time in 20 years that the residents of Shudu have had contact with the outside world.

The worrisome pessimism has not prevailed in the settlements, and now two hot topics are widely discussed on Skynet: one is how to normalize communication with the Jincheng base; Jincheng, which is [-] kilometers away, what kind of preparations should be done, what kind of training, how to set the itinerary.

There are even some suggestions on the Internet.

This is purely nonsensical, and the Academy of Sciences quickly joined forces with the Wilderness Hunter's Guild to issue a stern warning.

After calculation, relying on the so-called "traversal" plans on the Internet, even with the conventional skills of a wilderness hunter, the possibility of continuously crossing the Daba Mountains and Qinling Mountains and finally reaching Qinzhou is one in 44.

The military and the Ministry of the Interior also jointly released a series of recorded videos of the Longquan Mountain cleanup, including some of the cleanup operations that caused casualties, so that everyone can see the ferocity of the mutant beast.

At the beginning of the year, the military tried to open the Longzhou Passage, and then the incident of being besieged by dire wolves was also brought up again, just to sound the alarm for the residents.

But in any case, the 25th year of Datong has arrived.

Under Xia Xiaoyu's instigation and organization, Han'an Base also held a New Year's Gala.

The reason why it is called a party is mainly because this party also invited the newly appointed officials of the Ministry of the Interior from Zizhou and some commanders and fighters of the third field division.

Duan Lifeng also came, and brought urgently needed fruits such as apples, grapefruits, sugar cane, oranges, pears, green dates, and citrus to the base.

Only then did Tangning realize that the Tuojiang River Basin is a traditional cotton, sugar, and citrus producing area in central Sichuan.

There is also an important reason why Duan Lifeng is so concerned about showing face - Zizhou's Pluto warrior unit has been deployed.

After the training, the armed unit selected by Zizhou to control the soldiers was Duan Lifeng's son Duan Zhao.

Duan Zhao has a fiery temper. When he first arrived at the base, he led the training team from Zizhou and the base armed team led by Tang Lili had a conflict.

In the end Tangning sneered, love to fight, right?Go play in the Skynet game hall, I'll be your referee!
Three races against mutant beasts and three battles against ruins to see who survives to the end.

In the mutant beast match, the base team won all; in the attack and defense of the ruins, Tang Lili was killed bald by Duan Zhao.

Now that both sides know each other's abilities, they are more polite to each other.

Especially when Xia Xiaoyu was watching the excitement, she encouraged Duan Zhao to challenge Tangning. After being killed a few times, she became more honest.

In terms of training, Tangning treated them equally. Not only did she carefully pass on the Weipei team's experience in dealing with mutant beasts, but she also selected a Pluto armed unit team to familiarize them in advance.

So when Duan Lifeng got out of the car, he smiled and squeezed Tangning's shoulders, "Brother Tang, my son who is not up to date has been talking about you all the time, and now he is staying at Rock!"

"I heard that you were injured? How is it, have you recovered?"

"It's not bad luck. The modified gun is of average power, and it didn't hit a vital point. It's almost recovered now."

"That's good." Duan Lifeng said with a smile, "I'm much more relaxed now, brother. Just focus on the military. Come, let me introduce you. This is the new director of the Zizhou takeover committee, Cao Guangyun."

Tangning held out her hand to Cao Guangyun, "Hello Director Cao, welcome."

Cao Guangyun is not too old, he looks in his 30s: "Captain Tang is so young, where is your team leader Zhang?"

"Oh, Commander Zhang was still working in the research room just now. I just found out that you have arrived, and now I am waiting for you at the gate of the base building. Look, you have come out!"

Cao Guangyun smiled and said: "The style of the Academy of Sciences, Director Zhao did not praise it less last time. At that time, I heard Dean Wang said that the information analysis of Qinzhou Jincheng would take two weeks in Shu, but the Secretary-General was in a hurry... Fortunately... Dean Wang also said that if it is handed over to Han'an, it will be very fast."

"Sure enough, the workload of two weeks has been reduced to one day. Captain Tang, you guys are amazing!"

"I don't quite understand these things. It's all thanks to Team Zhang leading the information team to work overtime." Tangning suddenly felt vigilant, "I'll be in charge of their logistics and safety."

"Our small team of 300 people can't be compared with Director Cao's big city that manages a million people!"

The smile on Cao Guangyun's face became stronger, and he asked about the situation of the base with great interest along the way, and soon came to the front of the building.

Zhang Qiuyi and Xia Xiaoyu were waiting here for Cao Guangyun and his party. After greeting and introducing each other, they entered the hotel.

In the current base hotel building, the third basement floor is the virus research room, the second floor is the mutation biology research room, the first floor is not used for the time being, it is counted as an isolation floor, the first floor is the activity hall, the second floor is the command center and the cafeteria, and the third floor is the command center and canteen. The first floor is the virtual ecological cabin hall, and the large conference hall on the fourth floor has never been used. This time it was used as a performance hall by Xia Xiaoyu.
