Chapter 613: Clouds of War
After Lin Wen's unremitting efforts, everything in Changshan County was back on track.
The huge income from the Internet industry supported all the military expansion expenses of Changshan County.
The production line of exoskeleton powered armor has finally stabilized at a relatively high level, and can successfully produce armor at a cost not exceeding 10% of the theoretical cost. The daily output has reached 1,200 sets, with a yield rate of up to 98%.
Production will be even higher in the future.
The Mecha Academy finally completed compiling the main body of the textbooks, improved the teaching system, and began large-scale enrollment.
There is no need to worry about the size of the college campus. County Governor Lin just waves his hand, and the Java Engineering Team can double the size of the college within three days.
The number of students skyrocketed and soon expanded to 80,000.
Many graduates returned to join the academy and became instructors.
The armored corps of Changshan County has begun to be formed.
A large-scale combat system of soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor is under research.
The future vision may be to appear in the form of a squad, with a captain leading three soldiers as a combat unit.
Hundreds of combat units form a battle group, and hundreds of battle groups form a combat group, all under the unified command of the headquarters.
This structure is more reasonable and the command is more flexible.
The individual combat capabilities of soldiers wearing power armor are very strong, and they can fully apply the combat mode of quasi-special combat bodies.
However, large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands of special forces have never occurred in the empire, and all theories and systems have to be rebuilt.
To this end, Changshan County conducts actual combat exercises almost every day to test the rationality of various tactics and improve the combat system.
More weapons and equipment suitable for use with power armor are also being developed at a rapid pace.
After all, power armor is not used for close combat. Using high-powered weapons for long-range attacks is their main method of combat.
Lin Wen's summary was deeply recognized by everyone.
“It’s like a tank with legs.”
Hearing this, Fang Dashan climaxed on the spot.
"That's right! It has heavy artillery and a vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun. The armor is a bit thinner, but it's more flexible, faster, can travel on all terrains, and can find cover to hide in. Isn't this a tank with legs? We can completely use the armored group's combat plan!"
The officers who were troubled about what kind of combat system to adopt for this unprecedented legion suddenly woke up.
"Yes, the Armored Group's battle plan is ready-made. We can definitely refer to it."
"Add our unique characteristics to this, and that's our battle plan, right?"
"Hahaha, that's right, a tank that can cross mountains and ridges, a tank that can pass through forests and cross rivers and lakes..."
"And I can masturbate."
Haidamo, who was developing special weapons for power armor, interrupted.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Yeah, yeah, you can even masturbate."
Chengli said excitedly: "We can do what the Armored Group can do, and we can also do what the Armored Group cannot do."
Qin Luoshuang thought more deeply: "We can also achieve mobile penetration and large-scale mobile operations."
When this was mentioned, Fang Dashan, Wang Zhengwu and He Shangsheng all became excited.
In the past, infantry was used in interspersed combat, which was particularly limited by marching speed and supplies, and there was a severe lack of heavy firepower.
Now, mechas are used in interspersed combat, with an average speed of 70-80 yards per hour, can carry a lot of supplies, and are heavy firepower in themselves.
The three of them looked at each other, and in that instant it seemed as if a new world had opened up.
Everyone started a heated discussion, and the prototype of a new combat system soon emerged.
Lin Wen watched all this with a smile.
This is exactly what he dreamed of. He only needs to provide an idea, and the many generals like Crouching Dragon, Phoenix and Five Tiger Generals will solve the problem on their own.
He doesn't need to use his brain or get involved in these complicated worldly affairs.
Qin Luoshuang also has some tendencies to transform in this direction.
As a backup, she is even more qualified.
You are worthy of being my daughter, Lin Wen smiled and touched her head.
Qin Luoshuang gave him a dissatisfied look and whispered, "Stop it! We're in a meeting."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Wen quickly put down his hand.
This darling daughter, who I finally got, must not be betrayed. This is already the final stage. All that is left is this final push, and the mission will be accomplished. The matter has been settled.
If he fails at this moment, Lin Wen will definitely kill himself.
Many generals looked at each other with their eyes and hearts, pretending not to see anything.
Only the blond man Fili was not very happy. You already have a princess, yet you still come to snatch the chief of staff. Are you a human being?
Seeing Qin Luoshuang's face slightly red, Lin Wen quickly brought up a new topic to attract attention.
"Everyone, I believe that no matter what this system ultimately looks like, it will definitely be a modern system. The greatest advantage of power armor is that it can be equipped with many different modules, making it very convenient to upgrade and expand."
Now it was Haidama's turn to be excited.
He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "That's right, absolutely right! County Governor Lin hit the nail on the head with just one sentence!"
"It's very difficult to improve the power armor itself, but it can carry many advanced devices to make up for the functions it lacks, such as auxiliary positioning modules, independent fire control systems, large-scale long-wave communications, and so on."
"I can also develop many weapons specifically adapted for their use, such as 95mm armor-piercing smoothbore cannons, 70mm Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, and 30mm multi-shot sniper rifles. The standard load capacity of power armor is three tons, which is more than enough to carry enough weapons and equipment."
"You can even choose the appropriate weapons and supplies based on the mission."
Haidamo's words once again triggered a storm of thought among the crowd. In this way, the duties of armored soldiers can be further subdivided. For example, one team is responsible for anti-tank, one team is responsible for air defense, and one team is responsible for carrying supplies and auxiliary work.
The resulting combination of tactics is ever-changing.
In this new world, not only the gate has been opened, but even the steel door has been opened.
The discussion became more heated than ever before. All the generals gave full play to their imagination, equipping the mechas with various weapons and performing various tasks.
The burden of producing these equipment and weapons was given to the great scientist and former chief weapons expert of the empire, Heidarmer.
At present, the production line of power armor has been basically improved, and the remaining issues are long-term and long-term, so he doesn't need to keep an eye on them all the time.
Amidst the heated discussion, Lin Wen quietly walked out of the meeting room.
The Changshan County Headquarters was built on a big mountain. Lin Wen climbed to the top of the mountain and watched the fiery red sunset sink into the magnificent sunset glow. Thousands of golden rays shot down through countless peaks, like countless roads leading to heaven.
This is the Tyndall effect, which gives light its shape.
Lin Wen looked at the beautiful scene and saw the construction workers working in the path of light.
That is a mountain city, and it has been built in such a remote place.
An unprecedented sense of tranquility and beauty surged into his heart, and Lin Wen stretched out his hand towards the light, as if to hold it in his hand.
The light passed through the gaps between the fingers.
But our future.
It is promising.
——
Changshan County ushered in the longest period of peace in its history.
Various industries in Changshan County are booming, just like green grass facing the morning sun.
A business circle centered on the new town was officially established. This city called the town accommodates more than 12 million people and is still developing rapidly.
Changshan County's convenient transportation has brought the dividends of development to every place. After unloading the heavy burden of population, Huaizhen has embarked on a high-end road and gradually become the new commercial and financial center of Changshan County.
Shangxi Town became the standard agricultural and forestry center of Changshan County. Under the leadership of Chen Xingtai and Yun Qingshui, it has reclaimed more than 700,000 hectares of farmland, established more than 100 logging sites, and began to implement conservation logging.
They divided the area into twenty areas, logged one area every year, and then planted trees after logging.
In this way, twenty years later, the trees in the first area also grew up.
Hunting activities are strictly controlled. The hunters' guilds formed by hunters themselves do not allow poaching. Hunters are only allowed to hunt when experts have surveyed and found that a certain prey (such as wild boars, rabbits, etc.) is rampant.
This once deserted ghost town has also embarked on a path of sustained development and prosperity.
The rest of the towns and villages were either incorporated into the new town or replanned based on industry.
In the deep mountains, all the villages and towns that had not seen the sun for many years were dealt with in a unified manner. Yang Shaohu specially established corresponding institutions to help them integrate into the new Changshan County.
The city in the mountains was built quickly, and they were the first group of residents to move in.
Functional buildings on both sides of the east-west road have been completed and are spreading into the mountains. These towns along the road have spawned a large number of industries, almost all of which are related to travel, maintenance, food and accommodation.
All drivers who take this route don’t have to worry about getting lost, running out of gas, not being able to find food, or finding accommodation.
There are parking lots, hotels, restaurants, gas stations and supermarkets everywhere under the highway.
Moreover, the public security is good, the people are simple and honest, and they are warm and hospitable (really).
Therefore, this section of road in Changshan County has become the preferred route for drivers and tourists.
Changshan County's tourism economy has also flourished.
This can be seen from the fact that the queue at the photo spot in Tianmokeng is more than one kilometer long every day.
The sentence "Fifty photos" written by Lin Wen has also become a classic.
The scale of Changshan County's industry has reached a very large level.
More than 12 percent of the empire's light industrial products are produced here.
The chemical industry has already climbed more than half of the industrial chain. Jinkela accounts for 50% of the fertilizer market, forcing the entire fertilizer market in the empire to lower prices.
Changshan County has become a price crusher. Whenever it enters an industry, the prices in that industry will collapse.
Among them, the computer market is the worst hit.
The hottest Internet industry in the empire was dominated by Alibaba.
One blockbuster industry after another was launched, one super game after another was launched, and almost all game types were occupied by him.
And if Lin Wen had not restricted the time that the people in the Network Technology Department could use "Zhi Zi", they could have been even faster.
Qi Mu has now fully developed all the postures for using Chieko and can skillfully squeeze out every drop of juice from Chieko, but Lin Wen ruthlessly shortened Chieko's service time to one hour per week.
Qi Mu, who had already tasted the sweetness, rolled around wildly in front of Lin Wen, almost hugging his thighs and calling him daddy. Lin Wen only gave him one extra minute.
Qi Mu was so angry that he almost died.
Of course, this is not because Lin Wen is too stingy, but because his spiritual power is not enough.
Chieko has too many paper figures to consume, and the stock has been completely used up, and it is impossible for Lin Wen to do just this one thing.
If I hadn't used the [Morning Star of Destiny] to strengthen the [Paper Puppet Technique], I wouldn't be able to spare even an hour a week.
Qi Mu made a fuss for a few days but to no avail, so he had no choice but to accept his fate. He planned frantically within a week, sorted out all the essence, and poured it all into this one hour, overloading every second of Zhizi's time to receive customers.
This made Zhizi very dissatisfied, and she complained to Lin Wen that if he didn't give her two more paper talismans every time, she would go on strike.
Lin Wen was really troubled by this.
He was also planning to accumulate more good karma, so that at the critical moment he could have some super luck and shock the entire empire.
This of course cannot be affected. If we fall into a crisis in the future, we still have to rely on it to turn the situation around.
Lin Wen could only scrape together his resources, trying his best to save every bit of his energy and avoid all unnecessary consumption, so that the dragons and phoenixes of Changshan County could put in more effort.
Several months passed like this.
Changshan County's crazy development squeezed the profit margins of all forces and aroused great hatred.
Voices that criticize Changshan County are heard one after another, various articles exposing the "truth" are flying all over the place, and the behavior of demonizing Lin Wen is commonplace.
However, Lin Wen's good fortune continued to increase every month, indicating that Changshan County's development was very effective.
The enemy's roar at the top of their lungs further proved Changshan County's success.
Few people in the empire believed these lies.
This can be seen from the continued rapid population growth in Changshan County.
In the past few months, the population of Changshan County has skyrocketed to 30 million, twice as much as six months ago and twenty times as much as two years ago.
No matter how much they were slandered outside, the people still chose Changshan County with their feet.
After all, in the entire empire, only Changshan County still maintains that carefree atmosphere, a stable and good order, and a fair and open distribution of benefits.
Outside Changshan County, as conflicts intensified, concessions to civilians were gradually shrinking, and all major forces were trying to squeeze out more profits so that they could invest more funds in armaments.
Their true faces, which they had disguised for so long, gradually came to light.
The Lin Yabo Group directly tore off its disguise. They significantly extended working hours, reduced wages, and enacted a law that anyone who caused losses to the factory or project due to resignation would be responsible for compensation.
This bill is called the Lin Bill.
Its implementation is very arbitrary. Compensation depends entirely on the boss's words, the compensation amount is filled in manually, and the scope involved is very wide.
Some employees even died suddenly due to overwork and were sued for compensation. The families of the deceased did not receive any compensation and were faced with huge claims.
After the official joining of Zhao Chong, the commander of the southern region, the sphere of influence of Lin Yabo's group reached eight states. People in these eight states were rapidly lost in a short period of time, but there were still a large number of people who were forced to stay where they were for their livelihoods.
Countless people reported Lin Yabo to the empire for violating imperial laws.
In the eyes of most people, the Supreme Court will still uphold fairness and justice.
In the past, they have indeed fulfilled this responsibility.
However, this time, the Great Elder did not make any move, and the relevant agencies of the empire did not respond at all.
——
Shenjing.
underground.
The secret base of the King's Envoy.
After listening to the report from the Imperial Garrison Commander, the Great Elder said lightly.
"The war is about to begin."
