Opening the armored door at the rear of the infantry fighting vehicle, Xia Yu found the fairly spacious infantry compartment filled with battery packs, which he used to build the vehicle's energy storage matrix.
The diesel generator sets, as well as the photovoltaic systems ordered from China that have already arrived at the port, will all be connected to this energy storage system to ensure a continuous power supply for the parking lot and hangar.
The photovoltaic panels were stored in two 10-ton stainless steel water tanks ordered by Xia Yu, which also filled a 20-foot container.
He has to drive a trailer to the port tomorrow. It will take about a week to install the entire water and electricity system, but this job will be more fulfilling than decorating a wedding room.
Entryway, kitchen, living room—these all sound daunting. This cold, industrial cement style suits him best.
After moving the battery packs to the basement and connecting them to the lighting system, the dimly lit parking lot was finally brightened up.
With water and electricity, and internet access via satellite dish, Xia Yu even considered staying here tonight. But there's plenty of time, so for now, he'll let Duomi stay here to watch his car.
Domi was stunned when he saw the two steel behemoths with different styles. His boss had always said he would teach him how to drive a tank, but he had only seen tanks on TV. Now he was actually standing in front of a tank.
"Domi, learn to drive a tank, and I'll give you an extra 500 yuan driving allowance."
Xia Yu said magnanimously.
This is much higher than his old allowance. You wouldn't find a contractor as generous to his employees as Xia Yu out of a hundred.
"Sir, I will try my best!"
Domi stood with his legs together, chest out, giving a perfect salute.
"Good, you're in high spirits. Tonight you'll sleep in the cockpit and have a good chat with this girl named T-64B1M."
This was Xia Yu's first lesson for Domi. As a former ace tank driver, he had the privilege of experiencing the state of man and machine becoming one with the system. He hoped that his employee No. 001 could reach half of his level as soon as possible.
After having an early dinner, Domi rolled up his bedding, got into the car, and closed his eyes inside the belly of this beast.
Feeling the spirit of the machine is a lie; getting familiar with the combat environment as quickly as possible is the real goal. There are no hotels to rest in when you get to Panaka; sleeping in your vehicle is the norm.
Experienced drivers like Xia Yu can stay in their vehicles for a week during drills and field exercises, eating, drinking, and relieving themselves in that narrow, dark space.
I've come to Afica today, and it feels like stepping back in time to a time of bugle calls and endless camps. It really brings back some memories!
After turning off the lights and locking the door, Xia Yu passed by the hangar next to him. Due to budget constraints and the nature of the building, only one aerial bomb was needed to destroy the hangar and the helicopter inside.
However, unless one offends one of the Five Great Philanthropists, things generally won't escalate to this extent.
Finally, he kicked the helipad marked with an "h" under his feet. Old Li's team didn't have the qualifications to build this thing, but as long as they followed the construction plan, there shouldn't be any problems.
Xia Yu is a large helipad that can accommodate helicopters weighing 10-20 tons for takeoff and landing. Heavy-duty helipads with a capacity of 20 tons or more are not necessary.
Only heavy-duty vehicles like the Mi-12 and Mi-26 are needed; the Mi-24 is just an airborne infantry fighting vehicle responsible for attack and transport, and is quite lightweight.
Going back to the beginning, Lao Yu's sour soup with shredded tripe noodles is ready. The sour and spicy flavor, along with the crisp and chewy texture, makes this rainy season much more bearable. Indeed, good food can heal the soul.
Oh, and air conditioning too.
This is the real lifesaver. Xia Yu's own room still has the old Gree air conditioner, while Zhou Bo and the others' dormitory has all new units installed, with excellent cooling performance.
The pressure on electricity also increased immediately. Fortunately, the entire country has abundant solar energy resources. The photovoltaic panels ordered by Xia Yu are not only for the parking lot, but also for suitable rooftops in the village.
After taking a shower, Xia Yu crawled into the air-conditioned room, where the temperature had been lowered, and fell asleep in the constant 26°C.
Similarly, Domi, who had a racial advantage, slept soundly in the 36C tank, but he dreamed of the fiery grasslands, not the T-girl the boss had mentioned.
Nothing happened that night, and Xia Yu had soy milk for breakfast.
It's not made from those high-tech powders, but from soybeans that have been soaked overnight, ground by machine, and then boiled to make fresh soy milk.
Pair it with two freshly made red bean buns, and it's so comforting; you'd think you were back in China.
Of course, I still can't accept douzhi (fermented mung bean juice); I don't like that kind of thing.
After breakfast, seeing that there was still plenty of soy milk left, Xia Yu poured a cup and forced it down Duomi's throat. The young man had absolutely no resistance to soy milk with added sugar.
"Sir, what kind of milk is this? It tastes completely different from cow's milk."
Domi said, savoring the moment.
"This isn't milk, it's soy milk. You can go to the kitchen to see how to make it. Now let's go to the port."
Xia Yu gestured for Domi to get in the car, as today might be even busier than yesterday.
He drove his old MAN truck to the port, first went to the garage to collect three BTR-80s for preparation, and then went to the container yard behind the container yard to pick up the containers.
After checking the customs declaration, a total of 10 containers arrived at the port. Since online shopping is not available in Afica, Xia Yu can only buy more at once.
They selected the two highest priority containers for pickup, but Xia Yu only had one vehicle.
The solution is to add a trailer to the rear trailer, which can then carry two trailers at once, but this requires a high level of driver skill.
Without the system, Xia Yu might not be able to handle it, after all, he wasn't a soldier in the trucking industry and had never worked in the freight industry.
"Sir, can this car transport Miss T?"
Domi can already drive a small car, but this kind of big car is still an unknown world for him.
"This truck was originally designed to haul tanks. The two containers in the back combined don't even weigh as much as your Miss T."
"Is Miss T that heavy?"
Otherwise, why would you say press F to enter the tank mode? If the tracks aren't properly sealed, you'll crush even the best roads.
"When we get to Panaka, we'll need to transport the tank to the front lines by vehicle. Both the tank and Ms. Huang are important assets of our company. We'll decide which vehicle to use based on the specific mission."
Troop deployment is difficult during the rainy season, and both sides are preparing for battle; a fierce battle is inevitable.
Xia Yu was very much looking forward to this, because as long as Panaka's rebels were defeated, most of the country could be stabilized.
A stable environment is essential for a prosperous economy, which will attract more compatriots to develop in the country, allowing Xia Yu's company to ride the fast track of development.
There's a saying that goes something like this: the martial arts world isn't all about fighting and killing, and those in the PMC circle don't just fight with guns from beginning to end. Only the lowest-level mercenaries do that.
Developing according to the company's structure will inevitably expand the sources of revenue and the sustainable investment of profits.
Taking the white top hat as an example again, their provision of armed security at sea is an expansion of their revenue sources, and their acquisition and development of numerous mines is a sustainable investment in profits.
Xia Yu's target is companies like this. Even if his engineering team only has two people for the time being, it is still better than those mercenary groups with seven or eight or a dozen people.
Why? Because he controlled the means of production.
Most mercenary groups are equipped with at most a few heavy machine guns, a few rocket launchers, and maybe an armed pickup truck. They simply can't afford to maintain infantry fighting vehicles, let alone tanks.
Xia Yu, who possesses a system, has all of these.
