Chapter 370: Own Territory
Penglai!
It is a very oriental name, and very metaphysical.
But this mobile sea city, which is isolated overseas like a paradise, is inexplicably quite appropriate to the name.
Almost the entire splicing process was broadcast live, and after the complete video appeared, someone sped up the editing to make the picture smoother, and everyone truly felt the charm of this maritime city.
At the same time, by zooming in with the drone lens and comparing the smallness of yachts and helicopters in front of this maritime city, you can truly feel its grandeur!
What does the tonnage of two hundred aircraft carriers mean?
It’s totally unimaginable that this is thousands of meters deep in the Pacific Ocean!
Some large cargo ships that had been docked in the nearby waters also docked towards the city's dock and transported some materials that had been prepared long ago.
There is also fuel to ensure the operation of urban machinery.
The platform's robotic arm began to operate, and in fully automatic unloading mode, boxes of containers were moved into the city, and fuel was also pumped through pipelines...
While everyone is paying close attention to and expressing shock at the largest industrial creation at sea in human history , many forces and countries are also conducting internal assessments.
In an office in Da Piaoliang, many faces seen in the news gathered together, as well as many staff members offering advice.
They seemed to be sitting quite loosely, and it didn't look like a formal meeting. However, the more this was the case, the more private the meeting was.
"It's really connected. It seems that they do have a connection technology. It should be related to 'magic', but it has not been made public."
"They have so many things to hide, I said we should just take ruthless action. I don't believe they dare to spread the virus and really die together."
"Don't take any risks, but what is the estimated defense of this platform? How much force will it take if we want to occupy and inspect it?"
"It's made of a platform for all people, it's just sheer size. They transported a lot of things up there, but we're not sure what they're going to do with it yet. But the top level should be preparing to build an airport, whether it's for civilian use or not. Anyway, as long as the airport is built, we'll have an excuse."
"The guns on their helicopters are more than enough to take down a destroyer. Even if they use some means to force a connection, they are still barely put together. It's good enough that they can withstand the waves. It's easy to break them up."
"But this thing is really too big. It will take quite a few people to land on it. If they use the terrain to fight in street battles, it will be troublesome. Given their personalities, they will probably resist."
“…”
As they explored, they came to their own conclusions.
Umbrella should be prepared to invest heavily here. With the specifications of Penglai City, if the surface is built into an airplane runway, the carrying capacity will be quite strong!
This made them quite excited.
With such a large scale, it can be used as an overseas base even if the space utilization efficiency is poor.
There is an airport above and ammunition stored below. Apart from the inconvenience in movement, the number of carrier-based aircraft on it is much greater than that of an aircraft carrier!
It is easy and simple to find an excuse to occupy something like this that is difficult to move. The only trouble is the landing and street fighting after getting on it.
"Although it is on the high seas, once their runway construction is completed, we can find any excuse to go aboard and search them, saying that we suspect they have contraband."
"The key is if they really have it, will they be desperate and do something desperate if they are so tough?"
"It is intolerable that our safety is endangered. We will not attack Mexico at the same time. We will only target this city, which means we need to check it. It is nothing. I don't believe they will react violently just because of this."
The hawkish general who spoke was full of arrogance. In fact, he wanted to be more radical. He had never trusted a single company, so how could it dare to make such a threat.
But there are too many cowards here, and they are all afraid of breaking their own bottles and jars, so they have to settle for the next best thing and give it a try.
They are quite familiar with cutting meat with a blunt knife. They always test the bottom line and squeeze it.
The Russian bear is as old as heaven and earth, and is also very tough, but they still dare to keep encroaching and testing us.
Anyway, I will comfort you after I take the first step, and then take the next step after you get used to and accept the new status quo!
If I leave you a breath and give you some hope, you won't take the last step and linger on!
Everyone is afraid of death!
Moreover, even if we take a step back and really face extreme conditions, they are still confident that they can survive!
As for the idea of nuclear bombs destroying the world, that was something they made up themselves.
All a global nuclear bomb can do is actually destroy all major industrial areas and cities, which would be a catastrophic consequence. But for someone in their position, it would be no problem to find enough shelter to survive.
The same is true for Umbrella's weapons!
It's just because it's not in their own interests that they don't dare to push too hard.
Just because of profit!
They don't even dare to try to retreat even though they have a way out. It can only be said that they care too much about these things. They are 80% sure that the other party doesn't dare to do so!
"Then find a better excuse then."
"Don't worry, we are familiar with this..."
"Let's wait until they finish building the airport. Then we'll have an easier excuse. Haha, what do you want to do with such a big airport parked in the Pacific Ocean..."
…
Neither the heated discussions online nor some evaluations behind the scenes affected Wang Yi.
At this moment, he had already set foot in this city made entirely of steel.
The previously completed reinforcement modules have also been inserted into the slots, completing the overall connection.
Standing in the center on the hollow iron tower that had been built to make room for his own wizard tower, several seagulls kept hovering around him, making unpleasant noises.
Wang Yi looked down at the whole city and expressed his admiration for the fruit of human industry.
“If we didn’t have the global shipyard capacity, it would take us a long time to start from scratch.”
Now Umbrella has just assembled some industrial machine tools, and then it has to slowly build a shipyard. Even if the shipyard is built, the production capacity of a shipyard itself is limited. It is completely different from the current situation of spending money and mobilizing the world's strength to build it in such a short time!
Looking at the cargo ships constantly coming into the port to unload cargo, and the busy figures of many seafarers and workers in the outer area, Wang Yi also jumped down from the central area to the bottom.
The core area is almost entirely filled with their own skeletons and grass-headed god skeletons.
The magic crystals carried by the seabed bone Kun are enough to cover the consumption before the mage tower is built.
Those on outer alert are also the first batch of soldiers who have completed the human body enhancement transformation!
At the same time, Cheng Xue and Mao Li Longyi were in charge with several ordinary resentful spirit employees.
However, the skeletons were still slightly camouflaged, all of them were pinched with silicone and dressed in clothes.
The construction of the mage tower, the construction of the fusion reactor, the pipelines and lines for energy switching, etc. all require new construction and renovation.
At present, all major platforms still rely on burning oil to complete the operation of their machinery, and a quarter of the cargo ships coming here are constantly replenishing fuel.
All of these will need to be completely replaced with your own things later.
And now, I finally have a piece of land that is completely my own.
However, this piece of territory will definitely have to go through the challenge of a monster siege before we can truly gain a foothold!
At present, it has obtained a license from a Mexican military-industrial enterprise and can produce its own "defensive" weapons.
After this batch of magic machine tools that have undergone a new round of processing have been installed and debugged, some of the things on the drawings are almost ready to start production.
Of course, because the main production capacity is placed on urban transformation, fusion reactors, mass launchers, star network satellites and future space elevators, the production capacity that can be allocated to weapons is still limited for the time being.
At present, the main focus is on defense. UAVs, unmanned boats, corresponding signal connection units, armed helicopters, small close-in defense gunboats , close-in defense guns, anti-aircraft guns and missile production lines just need to be improved first.
Industrialization itself does not happen overnight, even if you spend a lot of money and take shortcuts.
If money could really solve everything, the wealthy would have risen up long ago.
Umbrella's current progress can be said to be rapid.
In fact, although Lin Shiqin's body has been moved here for assembly and some accessory modules have been added, there will be some impact due to network signal problems.
Fortunately, with the support of the quantum briefcase and the comprehensive functions of Red Queen on the external network, the impact can be controlled.
Although Penglai City is now near the equator, it is still some distance away from the core area of Dapiaoliang.
But looking at the Pacific Ocean, it seems to be bare, with only Australia and Hawaii.
But in fact, there are still some islands in the Pacific Ocean occupied by the West.
For example, the famous Midway Island and Guam.
In addition, there are Wake Island, Samoa and so on.
Even Gaul is here.
Wang Yi just chose an area that was as far away from the equator as possible.
Stay away from normal shipping routes and fish schools.
It can be said that the ships passing by nearby are those that come specifically for Penglai, making it easier to distinguish them.
The confirmation of the territory and the birth of Penglai City are just the beginning.
Just the city reconstruction alone, even with the configuration of artificial intelligence + skeletons, would take a lot of time...
