Chapter 234 Project Construction, Ready to Go



Therefore, the combination of barbed wire fences and infrared early warning radar used along the border forms a three-dimensional defense system.

To be honest, the targets targeted by the concentrated fire defense were no pushovers. While preventing unauthorized personnel from entering, we also need to guard against them coming to cause sabotage.

Previously, the only thing to do was to guard the area around Bogo Village, but now that the museum is about to open, the entire area must be brought under surveillance.

Once a suspected heat source is identified, the newly expanded armed village protection team will respond immediately and send personnel to the scene to investigate.

Not many of them had military experience, but their instructors were amazing!

Any one of the combat employees in the concentrated fire defense team could be brought to a qualitative change.

During their rest and recuperation period in the village, they took turns teaching. Leaving aside the various subjects they taught, the number of bullets they fired in a week was more than most regular black soldiers fired in a year.

When the company undertakes a mission involving land-based vehicle equipment transportation, in addition to full-time employees, about 10 additional people will be drawn from among them to act as escorts.

They were responsible for the cleanup work after the attack; moving bodies was nothing to them. Almost everyone there had seen blood, and with a monthly salary of $400, they were truly daring and aggressive.

Terrorists and rebel remnants who want to attack the company headquarters and museum will have to get past them first.

In the future, when Xia Yu officially begins mining the uranium mine under his name, he will likely select 20 to 30 people from the armed village protection team to form an armed mine protection team.

One or two combat employees are enough to be in charge; any who are not careful will be physically eliminated. Safety in production is paramount.

After watching for a while, Xia Yu called for Domi to drive.

The museum is built on a large tract of wasteland between two villages. This area was previously a field training ground for concentrated fire defense. It was here that two vehicle crews, together with two digital teams that served as mechanized infantry squads, fully integrated and formed combat capability.

Before the museum opened, the instructors also familiarized themselves with this combat mode.

However, they only step in when there is a shortage of manpower; otherwise, they mainly focus on special operations, since they have to be worthy of the higher salary offered by Xia Yu.

Panhardvbl bypassed the main building of the museum and continued driving for less than 2 kilometers until they arrived at a village that was smaller than Bogo.

Wani Village, a neighbor of Bogo Village, was originally wealthier than Bogo, but it was left far behind after Jihuo Defense moved in.

After Xia Yu decided to invest in building a museum, he finally caught the wave of opportunity.

Because the company headquarters is in Bogo village, the fighter jets, helicopters, anti-aircraft missiles, and the main equipment in the vehicle yard are all very sensitive.

The museum's amenities were therefore located on the Wani village side.

After the basic roads were paved, Xia Yu built a row of indigenous villas around the village and planted a large number of mosquito-repelling plants at intervals to provide food and accommodation for VIP customers.

Of course, not having enough money, in addition to the two existing hotels in town, Old Anka also invested in a new hotel.

There are still not enough rooms available. There are even more hotels in the city center of Kongluga, after all, it is the second largest city in the country, with a population of over one million!

As soon as I got out of the car and entered the villa area, the head of the museum's catering and accommodation department greeted me.

They originally worked in the hotel industry, so there was no difference for them when they arrived in Afica.

No, there's a difference. You have to carry a gun when you go out here. All employees are issued handguns.

Although Anka has been cracking down on security in Konluga since becoming a member of parliament, it would be better for them, as employees of a subsidiary of a PMC company, to carry guns in case of emergencies.

How's it going?

Xia Yu asked the two people in front of him.

"The well has been drilled, and the water pumped up can be used as domestic water without filtration. The drinking water has been connected to the water purifier."

Hydropower and water supply are indispensable to modern life.

If the well can't pump out groundwater, Xia Yu has to fill it with seawater.

Fortunately, the water resources in the Konglujia area are still adequate. The so-called water shortage is a lack of clean water, since river water is easily polluted, and the city's water treatment plant has limited capacity. Even though the town has running water, it is often cut off every few days.

The village didn't have running water, so it didn't. Drilling a well would solve the problem. But before the fire brigade arrived, the surrounding villages mainly relied on streams and rivers for drinking water.

This is also why the frogmen in white top hats were able to get in. After testing the water quality during the rainy and dry seasons, Xia Yu simply spent money to buy a set of second-hand well-drilling equipment.

Yes, it's vehicle-mounted. We'll get it ready and start working.

If it were just for personal use, it wouldn't seem necessary to go to such lengths to drill a few wells. But Xia Yu learned it from the Chinese Blue Helmet Army. He had met Lao Zeng and his men on the border before. In addition to excavators, they also had well drilling machines, which they used to help the local black villagers drill wells for free.

They ask for nothing in return, but Xia Yu has the ability to win people's hearts!

Wherever the firefighting team goes, they dig wells along the way, remembering those who dug the well when they have the water. This approach is far more effective than humanitarian medical aid that cannot be sustained once the team leaves.

They also need water themselves. Bottled water is for drinking, and they use bottled water for daily life. Only the old magnesium's overseas bases are so luxurious.

Even if Xia Yu could print bottled water, she wouldn't let the company get into that mess, since she's been taught to conserve water since she was little.

However, the fleet of transport vehicles will carry more and more belongings in the future; that's how it is when a company expands.

"The same goes for electricity. Once connected to the museum's power supply, it can power all the appliances in the villas to operate at full capacity."

The town installed a power line, but it was as unreliable as tap water. So Xia Yu installed a photovoltaic system on the roof of the museum, and there was also a backup diesel generator and a 1,000 kWh energy storage matrix in the basement.

It's enough for both emergency use and saving on electricity costs.

Xia Yu installed the same system at the cave branch base. It worked perfectly fine for daily use, but its output, which could only power dozens of air conditioners at full capacity, was simply not enough to support a tunnel boring machine that was equivalent to tens of thousands of household air conditioners running at the same time.

Only an aircraft carrier-class engine capable of powering the equivalent of a small city could undertake this task, and the São Paulo, which used two sets of Parsons geared steam turbines, could output 126,000 shaft horsepower.

Remember, this is shaft horsepower, which is the output after conversion. The thermal power of the main unit is much higher than this number.

Therefore, Xia Yu only needs to dismantle one main unit, and the Bella, with its own auxiliary generator, can continue to tunnel with a total installed capacity of less than 10,000 kilowatts.

The fuel consumption is also quite high, and Xia Yu feels that his stockpile of a thousand tons of heavy fuel oil may not last long.

Thinking of this, as he left the villa area, he couldn't help but look towards the museum's gas station.

With its operational tank museum and the consumption of concentrated fire defense, Xia Yu is definitely a major oil consumer.

The few oil tankers and mobile oil storage tanks he had were definitely not enough, so during the construction of the museum, he also built a supporting gas station.

There are a total of 6 oil storage tanks buried below, each with a capacity of 50 cubic meters. Two of them contain diesel, two contain aviation kerosene, and two contain gasoline.

There was no other way; apart from the Soviet-era tanks, most of the old tank engines were gasoline engines, and their octane ratings were all different. Xia Yu's solution was to add additives.

If you're running a tank museum, fuel additives can be somewhat useful, since they can increase the octane rating.

Tanks like the Churchill tanks require gasoline with an octane rating of at least 75, so the tank crews of the Su Lian tanks added aviation additives to regular gasoline.

As for the carburetor fuel used by Chinese people, it is not even regular gasoline. It is all synthetic fuel produced by chemical processes from hard coal and lignite, with an octane rating of around 72.

This fuel is usable, but it thickens and solidifies as soon as the temperature drops to minus 20 degrees Celsius. This is the real reason why they were defeated by General Winter.

Military uniforms may look cool but not keep you warm, so we can use newspapers as a makeshift pad!

If the fuel tank freezes, you're really stuck. You can light a fire to warm up your car, but you can't build a fire for every vehicle!

More than 70 years later, these old friends are finally living a good life with Xia Yu. They can drink all-natural, pollution-free gasoline without any hesitation. The more they drink, the more money he makes.

A cunning merchant is a cunning merchant; his true colors are now showing.

"Honey Badger, let's go refuel."

As soon as he got into the car, Xia Yu called out to Domi.

Panhard VBL drove into the gas station, and Xiao Hei, who was in charge of refueling, immediately stepped forward and filled the tank with No. 0 diesel.

urea

What is urea?

They don't charge you after you fill up the tank; Domi just signs the receipt.

Of course, there are no car wash coupons or bottled water, since it's just an internal gas station.

The gas station was placed between the accommodation area and the main building of the museum, mainly to show tourists the refueling process of tanks and tracked vehicles, which has piqued the curiosity of many people.

"Let's go to the shooting range!"

Xia Yu, sitting in the back seat, leaned out of the sunroof and patted the roof of the car as he spoke.

"Yes, boss!"

Domi stepped on the gas and arrived at the shooting range.

This area is primarily used for shooting rifles and light and heavy machine guns, and is located further inside the field training area. There is also an artillery firing range.

Since the artillery system couldn't be repaired, they bought classic old cannons in good condition. Fortunately, the quantity was small and Xia Yu could afford it.

The ammunition is printed using tank guns of the same caliber, and the price of firing one shot is cheaper than that of firing it on the vehicle.

For example, this Flakvierling 38 20mm quadruple anti-aircraft gun can fire a grenade for only $500.

The price for a single shot isn't high, but this is a quadruple shot! Even the Shilka River would have to call him "Uncle."

The Flakvierling 18 37mm anti-aircraft gun next to it is a single-barreled gun, costing only $1,000 per round. You can buy a dozen or twenty rounds and have a good time firing.

The most satisfying thing is the 88mm anti-aircraft gun with its muzzle lowered. Firing a single shot on a Tiger tank would cost $8,000, but this non-vehicle version is only $5,000.

The 88mm gun that Xia Yu acquired was a later model, and its three-section design increased the barrel life to 10,000 rounds.

Even if it cannot be repaired, its remaining lifespan can still generate millions, or even tens of millions, of dollars in economic value.

Well, it's not a money tree anymore, it's a money-making cannon that represents a fortune!

Xia Yu imported a batch of T-72s from Eastern Europe specifically to enhance the tourist experience.

Even including shipping, each vehicle costs less than $50,000, cheaper than buying a model. These main battle tanks from the last century, which are gradually becoming units of measurement, may not be able to withstand a single Mango shell in their basic armor, but they are not something that old World War II tanks can easily bully.

Using it as a target not only produces fantastic sound and light effects when it hits, but it also has high durability.

He imported ten vehicles this time, which should be enough for the museum to use at full capacity for a whole year.

This is probably a final tribute to the former king of land warfare. After all, it's better to shine in Afica (in a physical sense) than to lie in the tank graveyard slowly rusting away.

The T-72s said: Thank you!

No need for thanks, helping me earn more money is what really matters.

After touring the entire museum, Xia Yu returned to Boge Village.

It's already very late today. Tomorrow, he'll bring back several of the museum's most prized possessions.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Xia Yu drove his little antelope and set off early, arriving at the cave branch base before dawn.

After the power was turned on, spotlights illuminated the entire cave.

War vehicles worth hundreds of millions of dollars were neatly parked on the uneven cave floor, their bodies corroded by the accumulated moisture, but Xia Yu paid no attention to it.

If it gets damaged, just fix it; this kind of loss is exactly what the system likes.

If we want constant temperature and humidity, we'll have to wait until the São Paulo arrives.

Arriving at the tank parking area, ignoring the Leopard 1 family, T-72 family, and Chieftain family, Xia Yu headed straight for the World War II tanks.

The previous ones were all salvaged and prepared by him from scrap. Because the era didn't fit the theme of the tank museum, he put together a Cold War room for himself.

It's neither modern enough nor classic enough, which is why Cold War themes are so awkward.

These tanks and tracked vehicles are fine individually, but when put together, they become a sensitive topic, since museums need to be accessible to the general public.

Museums that house Cold War-themed tanks have almost all been deweaponized, but this has made them lose their unique character.

So Xia Yu would rather enjoy it alone than show it off.

He waved and released three double-trailer trucks. He first collected one truck, number 5, and one, number 6, and placed them on the front and rear trailers in turn.

Xia Yu really wanted to own a Porsche, but Porsche 800s were extremely rare.

He turned around and went to his home base, the two Weasel II tank destroyers, and waved them away one by one.

Because of the large production volume, and because it was originally a product of various sources, Xia Yu was lucky enough to collect the entire weasel family.

Among them are the Marder I, which is based on three chassis: the Lorraine 37L tracked tractor, the FCM36 tank, and the Hotchkiss H39 tank.

There is also the Weasel II, which is modified from the chassis of the Panzer II F and D (E) models.

Finally, there are the Marder III, Marder IIIh, and Marder IIIm, all based on the chassis of the 38t tank.

There are a total of 8, and it feels really rewarding to collect them all.

In addition, it must be said that these little oddities are really something, crispy on the outside but ugly-cute on the inside.

Xia Yu will strive to develop his modern weasel family, just like the original weasel.

This time, the chassis remains the same, but the functions are varied.

With all six slots filled, Xia Yu drove the little antelope directly to the port and drove the heavy truck loaded with two tigers back to the village.

“Calling wolverines, calling wolverines, this is a yellow weasel, bring your camera and come to the parking lot right away.”

Xia Yu called out via radio.

Today, Singles' Day started, and I spent two hours helping my mom buy things. I almost missed the deadline.
