Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 66: Steampunk’s armored train
Due to the impact of natural disasters, the original railway transportation system was severely damaged. Although the railway line has been restored to operation after the disaster, regardless of the cost, the original electric locomotive is obviously unable to run. After all, the high-voltage power supply along the line The nets were mostly destroyed by previous fires and shocks.
So now all the old steam locomotives running on the railways in Yanguo.
Although the speed is not as fast as an electric locomotive, under the current circumstances, this old coal-burning locomotive is much more reliable than an electric locomotive, and the steam locomotive can run around with a coal car attached to it. , it does not need the support of the high-voltage power supply network along the line, and the maintenance requirements are also much smaller.
The railway does not mean that the railroad tracks are finished when they are laid. The smooth flow of railway transportation is very dependent on the maintenance of the railway. Now it is no better than before the disaster. The normal use of the railroad tracks is much more troublesome than before. It can be guaranteed. It is not easy to transport important materials.
Hearing the rumbling of the train, Li Tou and the person in charge of the city government hurriedly adjusted themselves. One quickly drew out the cigarette in his hand, threw away the cigarette **** and prepared to receive the supplies, and the other slapped his own subordinates. Signals to make them more vigilant.
With the sound of the train wheels "besides", a locomotive spewing white steam appeared from the darkness like a monster. The driver rang the whistle, and the harsh sound pierced the night sky, like some kind The roar of the behemoth.
It was indeed a monster that drove out of the darkness. It was a giant beast wrapped in steel. The front of the car was sprayed with rich white steam, which made the entire platform filled with white mist, all of a sudden. His vision became blurred.
Behind the white steam-spitting front, there are sections of steel behemoth "body". These cars are wrapped in heavy metal armor and are full of shooting holes. Not to mention, several of the cars have The turret, like a shadow in the fog, is quite hideous.
"Is this an armored train?" Li Tou is fairly knowledgeable, and he naturally knows this kind of thing that has only been seen in war movies.
This is something that appeared during the First World War and the Second World War. The train was armed with armor and cannon, and used as a mobile fortress and firepower base. Relying on the maneuverability of the train, it can effectively ensure the safety along the railway during the war. , can also be used to transport important supplies as it is now.
But this armored train also has a big drawback, that is, it is extremely dependent on railways. As long as the rails are destroyed, although this armored train is powerful, it is not indestructible.
But in the current situation, this type of armored train can be used to transport important materials, and it can indeed effectively ensure the safety of materials.
"Really...Where is this old antique?" Li Tou looked at the armored train slowly entering the platform, and couldn't help but vomit. Although he could see it, this should be new, but the armor The train itself can indeed be described as an antique.
The person in charge of the municipal government also felt that some of the scenes in front of him were unbearable. He had come to the railway station to receive supplies several times before, but those times were ordinary coal trucks and trucks, not as exaggerated as armored trains. .
Looking at the turrets and shooting holes on the armored carriages, he couldn't help feeling a little horrified. At the same time, he was shocked by the aura displayed by this steel monster.
Compared to Li Tou and the head of the city government being frightened by the armored train, Qin Lan looked at this steel monster driving out of the darkness and felt only a sense of magic.
"Is this the steampunk that Ah Xin used to talk about before?" Qin Lan couldn't help muttering, the scene in front of her made her only think of this adjective.
The end of the world without the sun, an armored train spewing out steam and wrapped in steel, if it weren't for the reality after the end, Qin Lan would really think that this was a scene in a movie before the disaster.
But unfortunately, this kind of scene that can only be seen in movies or historical documentaries has become a reality in this post-apocalyptic world.
In the current temperature is gradually lowering, in June comparable to December weather, steam locomotives are indeed much more practical than electric locomotives in some aspects, especially when the railway power system is basically reimbursed.
At present, in all parts of the Yan Kingdom, except for a few electric locomotives on railway lines that can still run, most of them have been replaced by steam locomotives.
As for the reason why the armored train was pulled out from the history, on the one hand, it is to ensure the safety of important materials for transportation, on the other hand, it is also to deter some people who feel that the times have changed, and can carry forward the railway guerrilla. Don't take the risk for a guy who is a traditional performer.
So far, railroads have been destroyed, and material transport trains have been robbed in various places. It is also a practical need to use armored trains to transport these important materials~IndoMTL.com~ Most of these people come from villages and towns, relying on them before the disaster Village and town shelters escaped disaster. In order to obtain supplies after the disaster, it is not impossible for groups to destroy railways and intercept trains.
Most of these village shelters were temporarily built three months before the disaster. Most of the people who lived in were from the same village or neighboring villages, and most of them had relatives. Gang crimes are not uncommon.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in the Yan Kingdom in the past. Private road cards were set up on the highway to block the tolls, causing accidents to cause the truck to overturn and **** the goods...
Usually the crime is committed by the whole village. Relying on the law to not blame the public, even if the police go to many places, it will be of no effect.
As for the conflict with the police, the overturning of the police car is not too many, but it is not a case.
Before the disaster, these people certainly did not dare to destroy the railway and derail the train, but for the train stopped on the railway, these people never gave up the idea of stealing from the train.
This was the case before the disaster. After the disaster, these people became more unscrupulous. So it's no wonder that the Yan Kingdom government would use armored trains to **** important supplies. After all, every car is loaded with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Equipment for human life.
Under such an important task, these armored trains received military orders, and they were all soldiers performing their tasks. The military orders also meant that someone would die but they would really kill them.
The heavy armored train made a harsh brake sound and stopped on the platform.
The door opened, and a group of soldiers with live ammunition came down first. After quickly setting up the team on the platform for alert, an officer with a document in his hand walked out of the car.
Seeing the officer appear, the person in charge of the city government hurriedly greeted him.
