"Deal! I'm wondering if I should get a Boeing or an Airbus, so that I can go to Europe, America, or even Africa, and take all the survivors there!"
Sure enough, as soon as Schultz heard that the captain needed to fight wits with others, he immediately stretched out his hand and held Hong Tao tightly. Then he immediately entered the working state and brought up his ideas.
"You are murder! Let's find a suitable piston aircraft. Andre said that soon even this C130 will not be able to fly because there is no aviation kerosene."
Hong Tao quickly withdrew his hand, well, there is something more daring to think than himself. Large passenger planes are not as easy to fly as tactical transport planes and small planes. If you are not careful, you will have to attend a funeral, and there will be no bones left.
"Yeah Fuel is a big problem. Hong, I heard Mr. Randy talk about your idea, it's very good, can you push forward faster, before the energy fails!"
That's what Schultz said. He couldn't even find a qualified co-pilot of a large airliner, so he couldn't talk about long-distance flights. But he is serious about one thing, which is to resume production as soon as possible using existing energy equipment and raw materials.
"People I can't do anything without people. It's been a whole year, and I've only gathered more than a thousand people, and there's still a long way to go before resuming production." Hong Tao could only sigh on this topic, not because he didn't want to, but because cannot.
"Yeah, it's been a year in the blink of an eye, and that day is a miracle when I think about it. My co-pilot was locked out because he went to the bathroom, otherwise the biggest possibility is that we fell from the sky together."
Hearing Hong Tao's emotion, Schultz couldn't help but fell into terrible memories. When the zombie disease broke out, he was flying a passenger plane in the sky, and suddenly lost the guidance of the tower, and the cabin was still in chaos.
But he still found the runway and landed safely by relying on the automatic guidance of the equipment. All of this is extremely lucky. If it happens again, it is very likely that the plane will still crash.
"Don't worry, the situation will get better. There will be a few allies joining before the winter, and your flying brigade can go to Japan and the Korean peninsula to pick up the survivors who are willing to leave there. In this case, by next spring, We may have a scale of two to three thousand people, and we will restore mechanical processing and coal mining on a small scale first, and then we can use steam engines even if there is no oil.¡±
Should it be pessimistic? Hong Tao didn't think it was necessary. Although the progress is not as fast as I expected, it is not too far behind. The population of the revival alliance is indeed not enough. Even if it increases to 3,000 people in spring, it is still far behind.
However, in his long-term plan, the necessary industries in the industrial chain such as steel, energy, machinery manufacturing, chemical industry, medical treatment, agriculture, animal husbandry, transportation, etc. are not independently completed by the Revival Alliance.
Not only the Revival Alliance does not have this strength, but it is impossible for any survivor group in the world to have this strength. To complete the basic industrial layout, several, a dozen, or even dozens of groups in different regions need to work together.
There is coal near your house, well, you don¡¯t have to do anything to dig coal. There is a chemical plant near your home, well, you don¡¯t have to do anything, just find the right people to maintain the plant equipment, and wait for the energy and raw materials to start. There is a steel factory near your house, don't look at it stupidly, go ahead, you will be the steel king in the future.
What? There are no factories near your home, not even minerals! Don't worry, this kind of place is the best place to grow food and raise livestock, let's open up wasteland and farm. People depend on food, no matter what other people have, they will eventually have to eat food and meat. It's not that you don't have everything in your home, it's that you don't lack everything.
If you are not good at mining, steelmaking, chemical raw materials, or farming, or you are not qualified to do it, then you can pick up the original railway, or get two large ships for everyone to run errands and transport the assembly. It is not inferior to others to exchange services for daily necessities and products.
When Hong Tao was fine, he secretly calculated that as long as two or three groups can cooperate on a small scale in the early stage, a simple industrial chain can be restored, such as coal mining, smelting, forging, and machining. Another example is oil extraction, oil refining, petrochemical, pharmaceutical production, or providing raw materials to arsenals.
And every industrial chain will be involved with each other, and more industrial chains will be born, attracting more groups to join, division of labor and cooperation, each of them will have a share, and then the final product will be exchanged.
If it is feasible, Hong Tao feels that some technologies may stay at the level of the 1950s and 1960s, and will not continue to retreat. Some high-tech industries may have regressed a lot, or may not be able to recover at all.
Then it¡¯s out of the question, first ensure the life and development of human beings, and leave the rest to future generations to figure out a way slowly. At best, I just left a kindling, the kindling of the industrial age, and I can't finish it more.
"God?, I will probably have to fly a World War I aircraft with cloth skins again in the future But I like it, that's called flying, that's called air combat, not looking at the radar and pressing buttons, which is very boring. "
After listening to Hong Tao's narration, Schultz was not only not depressed, but also happy. He danced and gesticulated the piloting modes of World War I planes he knew, trying to make Hong Tao understand.
In fact, Hong Tao was still conservative. As soon as the details of this base defense battle were revealed, there was an uproar all over the world.
Million scale! So far, the recorded battles between humans and zombies, that is, the two battles that took place in the United States and Jinan, are all at the six-figure level. This time, the Revival Alliance not only increased the order of magnitude by one, but also won the battle, and its own losses were not large.
What does this mean? Strength, tough strength. Although the final solution to the problem was the helicopter, if the ground troops couldn't stop it, they would have no chance to use the strategy of eliminating living corpses at a fixed point. To be able to withstand the attack of millions of zombies on the ground, in addition to the reasonable combination of weapons, people are also very important.
Many people can understand this truth, so a certain idea naturally arises. For example, weigh whether your team can be firm on the ground and sharp in the air when encountering a zombie attack of this scale.
If you can't, will your life be in danger? If so, where should we go? Rather than panicking and begging to be taken in when you are about to die, it is better to negotiate and join in advance. This is more calm, more dignified, and easier to obtain the maximum benefit.
Since October, the revival alliance has entered the harvest period. The reputation created earlier began to materialize, and wave after wave of defectors continued to pour in from three directions: east, west, north. There are complete groups with an established system, and there are also scattered survivors with a few people and a few vehicles.
Regardless of whether it is a large-scale or an individual, the Renaissance Alliance's attitude is very firm. Let's talk about the rules first, clarify the ugly words and treatment, and welcome those who are willing to abide by it. If it is too embarrassing, let it be.
But there are basically no people who disagree. People who were skeptical about the revival alliance fighting millions of zombies alone, as long as they approach Nancheng and see zombie corpses and bomb craters all over the streets, it is not difficult to imagine It is not difficult to estimate how abnormal the firepower density of the Renaissance Alliance is.
Of course, most of them will not know that those craters are not shells, but mines.
From the South Second Ring Road to the South Fifth Ring Road, except for a few main roads, the rest of the streets have been laid with more than 600,000 infantry mines of various types. So far, this area is also a restricted area, and no one is allowed to Enter.
It is a pity that the truth is often only known to a few people. The personnel of the Logistics Department and the Internal Affairs Department of the Renaissance Alliance who were in charge of the reception were all told not to talk too much about the details of the battle, and they all introduced the survivors who came to defect according to the brochure issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As for the content, it is nothing more than how united and harmonious the Renaissance Alliance is from several perspectives, how fair and efficient the management is, and how brilliant and wise the main leaders are.
This thing was jointly created by several pens. Now the alliance is full of talents. There are three Doctors of Light and more than ten graduate students. Unfortunately, most of them are liberal arts.
They usually don't have much room to play, but this time, they tried their best to complete the words, and some of Hong Tao's old faces were flushed inside. However, the thermal conductivity of his face is extremely poor, the inside is burning red, and the outer layer is only a little hot, and he licked his face and modified it several times.
