Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

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

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

    This provides good cover for the land craft's reconnaissance mission, and also adds a certain degree of difficulty to the mission.

    After all, in the daytime, optical reconnaissance can intuitively see the required information. In a dark environment, you need the assistance of various instruments and equipment.

    Fortunately, this land cruiser is specialized in reconnaissance. Not only is it equipped with a large number of instruments and equipment, it is also equipped with reconnaissance aircraft and reconnaissance drones.

    The people on board responsible for carrying out this reconnaissance mission were also elites from the military. With the cooperation of the two, it can be said that the mission went smoothly.

    However, the Middle East is still so big. Although the land craft released reconnaissance drones after entering the Middle East and began a large-scale search, they only had one ship and wanted to survey the entire Middle East.  It will take some time.

    "Captain, I suggest that we change the method of investigation and go directly to the Mediterranean coast for investigation, instead of the current drag-net investigation, which is too inefficient." In the bridge, a staff officer accompanying the ship said to the ship  The chief made his own suggestions.

    The captain did not immediately agree to the staff officer's suggestion. Instead, he thought carefully for a while and then said: "It can indeed save time to go straight into the Mediterranean, but our task is to understand the overall situation in the Middle East and understand the external situation."  Whether alien creatures have launched a large-scale invasion of the Middle East requires a comprehensive investigation.

    ¡°And if we head straight into the Mediterranean, we are just a reconnaissance ship with limited armament. If we encounter alien creatures, we may be in danger, so it¡¯s better to be safe.  "

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

    Although it is not impossible to take risks, he must comprehensively consider the balance between the risks he takes and the possible gains, rather than acting recklessly when encountering difficulties.

    Hearing the captain say that he wanted to pursue safety, the staff officer did not express any objection. His duty was only to make his own suggestions and help the captain check for leaks and fill in the gaps, not to interfere with the captain's decision when the captain had not obviously made any mistakes.

    So seeing that the captain did not agree with his suggestion, the staff officer just frowned and said: "But our current investigation method is too inefficient! If we keep searching like this, it will be too much work to investigate the entire Middle East.  too big."

    Having said this, the staff officer did not forget to add: "Our reconnaissance ship is nuclear-powered, but the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft we carry still burn heavy oil. With such large-scale reconnaissance every day, the fuel consumption is very fast.  !¡±

    The captain frowned slightly when the staff officer mentioned the fuel consumption issue, and asked the first mate on the side: "How much fuel do we have left?"

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

    Taking into account the purpose of our reconnaissance mission, I also suggest that our ship go out to the Mesopotamian plains, and then conduct targeted reconnaissance to the Red Sea and the Aleppo area of ????Syria, rather than the blanket search we are doing now.  Much more effective.  "

    The first mate's words were actually a kind of support for the staff's suggestions, but the reasons and suggestions he gave were more comprehensive and reliable than the staff's previous suggestions. Therefore, after some consideration, the captain adopted the first mate's advice.  Suggestion: "In this case, let's go out of the Mesopotamia and go to the location of the ancient city of Babylon. If there are still people living there, we can also understand the situation."

    "Locals? It's unlikely that there are any locals alive, right?" The staff officer on the side obviously had no expectations for this.

    During this period, they searched most of the Iranian plateau in a carpet-like manner. Of course, the areas where there were cities were the focus of the search, but obviously all the cities were empty.

    Such a result is not surprising. After all, this area has experienced wars for many years. 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 senior officials of each country. The gap between the living standards of the people at the bottom and the rich is astonishingly wide.

    It is really a question of how much such a country can respond to a global disaster.Questions that can be answered.

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

    And in this area, from fresh water to food, these basic living supplies are basically in short supply. In the past, it was okay to rely on imports to make money. Now, where do they import from?

    After a few years, even if there are survivors, they will be among the lucky few.

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

    After all, in his opinion, 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 mate 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 released unmanned reconnaissance aircraft also changed its flight route and the direction of its investigation.

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

    Regarding this issue, the staff thought for a while and said: "I think it is Aleppo. The Arabian Plateau is highland on the side close to the Red Sea. From a terrain perspective, it is not suitable for large-scale military attacks. It can be said that the entire Middle East region  It is surrounded by mountains. The only flat land is the Mesopotamian Plain, and the Aleppo area is the only 'gap' in the Mesopotamian Plain facing the Mediterranean. If you want to go from the Mediterranean to  For an invasion in the Middle East, this place is the most suitable for attack.¡±
