Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

When Chen Xin was thinking about whether he could build himself a land-ship as his "special car", the land-ship sent by the military to investigate in the Middle East had already arrived at its destination.

Unlike the domestic situation, the Middle East is still in the dark like Europe.

This provides a good cover for the reconnaissance mission of the land carrier, but also adds a certain degree of difficulty to the mission.

After all, in the daytime, optical investigation can intuitively see the required information, and in the dark environment, it needs the assistance of various instruments and equipment.

Fortunately, this land cruiser is a special type of reconnaissance, not only equipped with a large number of instruments and equipment, but also equipped with reconnaissance aircraft and reconnaissance drones on board.

The people on board who were in charge of carrying out this reconnaissance mission were also elite military personnel. With the cooperation of the two, the mission went smoothly.

However, the Middle East is still so big. Although the Land Cruiser released the reconnaissance drone after entering the range of the Middle East, and began to conduct a large-scale search, they only have one ship and they want to scout the entire Middle East. It will take some time.

"Captain, I suggest that we should change the way of investigation and go directly to the Mediterranean coast to conduct investigations instead of the current drag-and-net investigation, which is too inefficient." Inside the bridge, a staff officer accompanying the ship pointed to the Long made his own suggestion.

Regarding the suggestion of the staff officer, the captain did not agree immediately, but after thinking carefully for a while, he said: "It is true that going straight to the Mediterranean can save time, but our task is to find out the overall situation in the Middle East and figure out the situation outside the country. Whether the star organisms have launched a large-scale invasion of the Middle East requires a full investigation.

And if we go straight into the Mediterranean Sea, we are just a scout ship with limited armaments. If we encounter alien creatures, we may be in danger, so it's better to be on the safe side. "

As a captain, you have to be responsible for everyone on and off the ship, and at the same time ensure that you fulfill your missions and tasks. Naturally, you must act cautiously.

Although it is not impossible to take risks, he must comprehensively consider the proportional balance between the risks borne by the risks and the possible gains, instead of being indecisive when things happen.

Hearing that the captain said to pursue safety, the staff officer did not express any objection. His duty was only to put forward his own suggestions and help the captain to check for omissions, rather than to interfere with the captain's decision when the captain made no obvious mistakes.

Seeing that the captain did not agree with his suggestion, the staff officer just frowned and said, "But the efficiency of our current investigation method is really too low! It has been such a blanket search, and the workload of investigating the entire Middle East is really heavy." too big."

Speaking of this, the staff officer did not forget to add: "It is true that our reconnaissance ship is nuclear-powered, but the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft we carry still burn heavy fuel oil. Such large-scale reconnaissance every day consumes fuel very quickly. !"

The issue of fuel consumption mentioned by the staff made the captain slightly frowned, and asked the first officer beside him, "How much fuel do we have left?"

"When we came out, we brought a total of 20 tons of heavy fuel oil. So far, we have consumed almost 30% of it." The first officer answered the captain's question, and at the same time reminded the captain: "But so far, we have The scanned area only accounts for 17% of the entire Middle East, and they are all distributed in the Iranian plateau.

Considering the purpose of our reconnaissance mission, I also suggest that the ship go out to the Mesopotamian plains, and then conduct targeted reconnaissance to the Red Sea and the Aleppo area of ​​Syria, which is better than the carpet search we are doing now. Much more effective. "

The chief officer's words were actually a kind of support for the staff's suggestion, but the reasons and suggestions he gave were more comprehensive and secure than the staff's previous suggestions, so after some consideration, the captain still adopted the chief officer's suggestion. Suggestion: "In this case, let's go out of the Mesopotamia and advance to the location of the ancient city of Babylon. If there are still people living there, we can also learn about the situation."

"Locals? It's unlikely that there are still locals alive, right?" The staff officer on the side obviously didn't expect much from this,

During this period of time, they searched most of the Iranian plateau in a blanket manner. Of course, the areas that originally had cities were the key search targets, but obviously all the cities were empty.

It is not surprising to have such a result. After all, this area has been war-torn all year round. Although the people's livelihood is not in decline, it is not an economically developed area.

Although several oil-producing countries have money, the money is mainly concentrated in the hands of the royal families and high-level officials. The gap between the living standards of the people at the bottom and that of the rich is astonishingly wide.

How much such a country can respond to global disasters is really a difficult question to answer.

The rich have no problem surviving, but ordinary people may not be able to withstand the initial disaster.

Moreover, the basic living materials in this area, from fresh water to food, are basically in short supply. In the past, it was fine to rely on imports for money. Now where do they import them under this situation?

After a few years, even if there are survivors, they are among the very few lucky ones.

"Anyway, let's go and have a look. Babylon is one of the oldest cities in this land, and it's also the capital of a country. There shouldn't be any living people." The captain shook his head, although he didn't have any expectations. , but decided to check it out anyway.

After all, in his view, although the environment in the Middle East is harsh, the temperature is not as low as in China. After all, it is a tropical area, and some people should be able to survive.

The captain made a decision, and the staff and first officer had no other opinions, so the scout ship began to adjust its course and headed towards the ancient city of Babylon.

At the same time, the unmanned reconnaissance plane released also changed its flight route and changed the direction of reconnaissance.

"Speaking of which, do you think the Red Sea or Aleppo, which place will be the focus of the invasion of alien creatures?" After issuing the order to adjust the course, the captain looked at the map in front of him, and suddenly asked the first officer and the staff officer a new question. question.

Regarding this question, the staff officer thought for a while and said: "I think it is Aleppo. The Arabian Plateau is a highland on the side close to the Red Sea. From the perspective of terrain, it is not suitable for large-scale military offensives. The entire Middle East can be said to be Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the only flat land is the Mesopotamian Plain, and the Aleppo area is the only 'gap' in the direction of the Mesopotamian Plain facing the Mediterranean Sea. Invasion of the Middle East, this place is the most suitable place to attack."
