Chapter 259 Steam Helicopter
There is a term in sociology called path dependence.
The general meaning is that once people make a choice, the force of inertia will make this choice constantly self-reinforce and will not allow people to walk away from it easily.
For example, if a country is accustomed to purchasing advanced foreign weapons, when its neighboring country has more advanced weapons, the first thing it thinks of is to buy the more advanced ones rather than developing them on its own.
For example, it is better to buy theories than to make them by the government.
For example, the third brother next door.
After Zhang Tuohai gained benefits from breaking walls, now when he encounters a wall, he usually breaks it open directly instead of going around it.
This factory adopts a frame structure. Apart from the main supporting steel frame, there is a layer of iron sheet on the outside, which looks like a plastic greenhouse.
The factory was filled with all kinds of machines. Groups of workers in blue overalls were busy on the production line, and the noisy noise filled the entire factory.
Zhang Tuohai took a quick glance and was startled, then a look of joy appeared on his face.
He discovered that this was actually a steam tank manufacturing factory.
Tracks, gun barrels and armor plates are moved off the production line and assembled into steam tanks.
"If we take this place out, the strength of Gray Rock City will definitely drop significantly!"
Anyway, he and Gray Rock City are now sworn enemies , so he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to weaken Gray Rock City's strength.
Da da da!
Zhang Tuohai operated the steam machine gun and fired several shots into the air.
The workers looked up blankly and looked at the intruder in astonishment.
"I declare that this place has been taken over. If you don't want to die, get out now!"
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Zhang Tuohai pulled the trigger at several similarly assembled steam tanks.
Da da da.
The bullets hit the riveted armor, causing fire to splatter everywhere.
“Run!”
The workers were stunned for a moment, then fled in all directions.
In less than half a minute, the entire factory became empty.
"Sure enough, this thing still speaks tough."
Zhang Tuohai patted the steam machine gun at hand, and then took Xiao Ai to throw anti-tank grenades everywhere.
Blow up all the machines that can be destroyed, and throw a shell into the installed steam tank. Anyway, what Zhang Tuohai has to do is to destroy the factory's production capacity in the shortest time possible.
In addition to these machines, the factory also faces mountains of metal ingots and metal parts.
From level 1 to level 3.
These are the materials used to make steam tanks.
However, now they all belong to Zhang Tuohai.
In the corner of the factory, Zhang Tuohai saw a huge canvas that seemed to cover something.
Out of curiosity
Under the canvas is a metal box. This metal box is very large, about 8 meters long, 6 meters wide and 4 meters high. From the outside, you can see various complex gears hanging on the outside of the metal box.
" What ?"
Out of curiosity, Zhang Tuohai walked around the box and found a small door at one end of the box.
Zhang Tuohai opened the door out of curiosity.
Inside the metal box were also various complex mechanical transmission devices, as well as several things that looked like robotic arms, except that they were loaded with things like screwdrivers and pipe pliers.
What surprised Zhang Tuohai the most was that there was a helicopter inside the metal box!
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a rotorcraft.
This thing looks like a chair with a propeller installed on it, and there are some steam pipes and metal guard plates around the chair. It is so simple that it is outrageous.
The only weapon was a steam machine gun.
It seems that the combat method is similar to that of the aircraft in World War I.
[You have discovered a steam-tech-specific 4th-level auto part: a steam rotorcraft repair factory that is extremely well-matched. You need to open the weird technology tree to install it. The test meets the conditions. Do you want to install it? ]
[Steam Rotorcraft and its supporting repair factory: Steam technology special 4-level auto parts. After loading, the vehicle will have a steam-powered rotorcraft (helicopter), which can be driven manually. It can be used for armed reconnaissance. The hovering time is 2 hours. It can be repaired in the repair factory after damage. Armament: a steam machine gun, ordinary rivet baffle. ]
"Awesome!" Zhang Tuohai's eyes lit up.
With this thing, he has air power, which is very useful for both reconnaissance and attack.
It greatly enriched his combat methods.
It's exciting to think about installing a helicopter on an infantry fighting vehicle .
"Install!" Zhang Tuohai said loudly.
A white light enveloped the metal box and Zhang Tuohai's infantry fighting vehicle.
After a moment, the white light dissipated and the metal box disappeared. Zhang Tuohai felt that the infantry fighting vehicle seemed to be slightly stretched by about half a meter, and there was no other change.
"This thing also uses space expansion technology?"
Zhang Tuohai climbed into the vehicle and found that the steam rotor counterattack and supporting factory had been installed at the rear of the infantry fighting vehicle, separated by a metal door.
Opening the metal door, the steam rotorcraft was parked there quietly, with a hatch and lifting platform complete.
Ready to take off at any time.
Zhang Tuohai happily touched the steam rotorcraft and wished he could fly it out for a spin right now.
However, Xiao Ai interrupted his fantasy.
"Commander, a large group of infantry appeared at the factory gate, and there were also sounds of steam tanks. It is estimated that the enemy will arrive at the battlefield in 30 seconds."
"Use shrapnel to hold back the infantry, then find the abandoned intercity subway tunnel and get out of here."
Zhang Tuohai ordered.
"clear!"
Boom, boom!
Two shrapnel shells were fired, blocking the infantrymen outside the factory gate.
After suffering dozens of casualties, the infantrymen hid behind the bunkers, not daring to come out again, waiting for reinforcements from the steam tanks.
Afterwards, Zhang Tuohai found the entrance to the intercity subway tunnel under the guidance of the prompt system.
The entrance was sealed by a brass door and a complex mechanical lock that required three keys to be inserted simultaneously to open.
However, Zhang Tuohai is not the kind of person who would open the door honestly.
Since the gate is very solid, just go around it.
Zhang Tuohai took a few steps back and then aimed the 75mm cannon at the wall next to the gate.
Boom, boom!
Following a few cannon shots, the brick wall next to the gate collapsed and shattered, revealing the dark intercity subway tunnel.
Because it had been abandoned for a long time, it was dark inside and a damp smell came out.
"That's it, go!"
Zhang Tuohai turned on the headlights and rushed into the tunnel first.
Zhao Wanwan then entered.
After entering, Zhao Wanwan retreated again, made a simple booby trap with an anti-tank grenade at the door, and then chased after Zhang Tuohai.
