Chapter 155: Traction Plan (3rd update, seeking monthly votes)

~10 min read 1,933 words

"What?!"

"Send everyone up, what does that mean, no need to queue?"

"Two hours, really??"

Lin Xian's words were like a heavy bomb exploding in the crowd. It immediately boiled over. Everyone looked at Lin Xian anxiously. At this moment, his words seemed to give everyone a boost of spirit.

Zhang Dingzhong looked at him with a slight frown: "What plan, speak your mind."

"Lin Dui, two hours, don't we need to overwrite the system?" Wei Kexue was nervous and urgent at this moment, but looking at Lin Xian, his heart skipped a beat. His subconscious told him that Lin Xian might really have a way.

Lin Xian said without hesitation: "If we overwrite the system, the power can only support the anti-aircraft system and the electromagnetic acceleration system. If we supply the climbing elevator, even if it can run, the transport volume won't be high. It might even be slower than before. In that case, the time will be more than 5 hours, and the anti-aircraft system will be affected. Now that there are more and more monsters, according to the set time, we definitely won't finish."

"Yes." Wei Kexue nodded: "The power consumption of the climbing elevator is the largest, after all..."

Lin Xian didn't have time to explain in detail and interrupted him directly: "There is another problem. The more people who leave, the fewer people who resist. Once the airport defense line is lost, the subsequent people definitely won't be able to go up. Therefore, the best way is for everyone to go together!"

There was one point Lin Xian didn't say to their faces, and that was order. When the outer defense collapsed, the convoys queuing at the back would be the first to suffer. When large-scale chaos occurred, the situation would be uncontrollable.

"No, there are thousands of cars here, tens of thousands of people, how can we go together when the airport power supply is insufficient?" Shi Diyuan asked suspiciously.

"The method is not complicated!"

Lin Xian spoke loudly. He waved his hand, and fluorescence flickered in his palm. A microscopic metal model of the climbing elevator was manufactured by him.

On it were four simulated metal trains, representing the four trains currently docked at the airport.

Immediately, he looked at Jian Xuwei and Shi Diyuan and said quickly:

"Longshan No. 1 and the Iron Guard Brigade's trains are both intercontinental-class trains, with engine power exceeding 150,000 kilowatts, while the Silver Star, as an eternal-class train, has an operating power of at least over 200,000 kilowatts, right."

"220,000." Jian Xuwei's voice was proud.

Lin Xian nodded: "Plus my Infinite, it also exceeds 100,000 kilowatts of power. The total power of the 4 trains exceeds 600,000 kilowatts. And since everyone wants to enter the circumstellar orbit, I believe these trains must also have horizon gateways, just to deal with rushing up the climbing channel and entering the oceanic orbit without traction. If we let all the cars board the climbing traction device and use mechanical tractors to drive them, and then use steel cables to connect our 4 trains, in this way, we can completely drag the more than two thousand cars here directly onto the high-altitude corridor without a climbing elevator."

"We can completely supply the power mainly to the anti-aircraft system and electromagnetic acceleration, and we will climb up the climbing elevator ourselves!"

As soon as Lin Xian's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone's expressions gradually changed from confusion to shock.

Using trains to pull thousands of cars onto a high-altitude corridor 4,800 meters above the ground, this sounds simply crazy!

Bai Shuang looked at Lin Xian in surprise, and then she looked at Wei Kexue, who was also stunned: "Engineer Wei, this... is it feasible?"

Wei Kexue opened his mouth, his eyes changing constantly: "This... this..."

He used the computer to calculate quickly:

"The total length of the climbing channel is 7,250 meters, the slope is 90%, the vertical height is 4,806 meters. There are 2,696 cars in the current queuing sequence. Assuming all cars plus trucks are 10,000 tons, the train rushes up at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. Under the conditions of having horizon gateways and mechanical traction, after three-stage track acceleration, this... this requires the instantaneous traction power to reach at least... 408,000 kilowatts. From... theoretically speaking, this is feasible, and the speed can even be faster, but this traction steel cable..."

Clang, clang, clang!

Fluorescence appeared in Lin Xian's hand. A high-carbon alloy steel cable with a diameter of 10 centimeters was manufactured by Lin Xian and fell to the ground, making a dull metallic sound.

Lin Xian took a deep breath: "The train only needs to be connected to the traction device. After rushing onto the high-altitude corridor, all cars can use the high-speed traction device to enter the electromagnetic acceleration channel, and other trains use track acceleration. This can also avoid the chaos inside the channel."

"Good guy, I can't believe you thought of this. Pulling thousands of cars onto the high-altitude corridor, you've got guts!" Shi Diyuan widened his eyes. The engineers around him were also constantly calculating, but looking at it, it seemed to be about the same as Wei Kexue's conclusion.

On the other side, countless engineers of the Silver Star were also brainstorming crazily, providing the calculated information to Jian Xuwei.

Zhang Dingzhong swept his gaze, saw a burst of noise, and then landed his gaze on Lin Xian, his eyes carrying a bit of deep meaning.

"The risk level is very high, this is a theoretical situation." Jian Xuwei's expression was rational. She looked at Lin Xian and said coldly: "First of all, the weight of all vehicles is estimated and not accurate. There are a large number of heavy trucks and modified cars. Secondly, you only calculated the instantaneous power demand, but the horizon gateway and mechanical traction have not undergone such large-pull material experiments, and there is no guarantee that the expected effect will be achieved. If our horizon gateway is damaged in this process, then not only will all the cars not be able to go up, but our mobile trains that could have gone up will also lose their last chance."

"Exactly!" Jian Zeyang was obviously somewhat resistant to this plan: "This plan simply makes us pull cars, but this has no benefit to us, and it increases our risks. There are 3,219 lives on the Silver Star. Why should we take such a risk!"

He said, sank his breath, and said with flickering eyes: "To put it bluntly, if other channels were opened, we would have rushed up directly. Why would we stay here and wait for death? Now we have already lost quite a few people, at worst..."

"Zeyang!" Jian Xuwei shouted coldly to stop his words.

At this moment, the air seemed to have become frozen.

Zhang Dingzhong looked cold and looked at Bai Shuang: "Team Leader Bai, what do you think of this plan?"

Bai Shuang's expression was complex. She hesitated for a moment and said: "Although there are risks, currently, this plan has the highest feasibility." "We disagree, this plan is just increasing risks for us!" Jian Zeyang protested directly: "Even if it only takes two hours, if all survivors go to load the cars, then who will guard the defense line?? Once the airport is lost, this plan will completely drag us to death. Our Silver Star might as well accept hundreds of survivors on board and let us rush up first!"

Jian Zeyang's words were not unreasonable. He and Jian Xuwei were shouldering more than three thousand lives. If they rushed up directly, the chance of success would be greater.

Boom!!!

At this moment, an explosion sound came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw the airport's anti-aircraft system and electromagnetic railguns firing at full power toward the sky. The large Federal action airship that had just ascended seemed to have encountered some strange attack above the high altitude and exploded in the high clouds. A huge fireball burned, and other small aircraft did not escape the disaster and fell like fallen leaves.

"What is the electromagnetic gun attacking?"

"In the sky, what is there!?" Someone exclaimed!

Everyone looked at the high-altitude night clouds, their expressions solemn.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning exploded, and the clouds were illuminated. In this instant, everyone saw that above the clouds, a magnificent and huge circular black outline was revealed, the umbrella edge like a mountain range edge towering into the clouds, like an alien creature!

It was that atmospheric mica!

In an instant, everyone's expressions changed greatly.

"My god, it's that monster!!"

"It... is above the clouds above our heads!"

!

Hum! Boom! Hum! Boom!

The muzzles of the four electromagnetic railguns all turned straight up and fired toward the sky!

Bai Shuang said with an ugly expression: "Oh no! If we don't attract that big guy with firepower, the high-altitude corridor will be swallowed by it!"

"It seems that we don't have much time left." Zhang Dingzhong's eyes condensed, and he looked at Jian Xuwei and Jian Zeyang: "Then let's follow this plan."

Jian Zeyang's expression was urgent: "But..."

"Ma Xiaotang!" Zhang Dingzhong shouted in a low voice.

"Here!"

Adjutant Ma Xiaotang responded and stepped out.

"Battalion 1 and Battalion 2 artillery battalions guard Area A, Battalion 4 and Battalion 6 armored infantry companies guard Area B, Battalion 7 tank battalion guards Area C, Battalion 5 and Battalion 9 logistics support companies guard Area D, Battalion 8 and the reconnaissance battalion follow me to guard the central Area E. All air units take off to attract that big guy's attention to the front of the airport to protect the climbing elevator and the high-altitude corridor!"

"Yes!" Ma Xiaotang responded.

In an instant, the whole place was silent, and the atmosphere was solemn!

Zhang Dingzhong looked around: "Our Iron Guard Brigade is responsible for guarding these two hours. Does anyone else have any objections?"

As soon as these words came out, Jian Zeyang's side's expressions all changed, and they were speechless. Jian Xuwei stood out decisively: "No objections, we will start arranging immediately."

"We have no objections!" Shi Diyuan also responded loudly.

The appearance of the atmospheric mica completely shrouded despair over the airport, and Zhang Dingzhong led the entire army's firepower to help cover. At this moment, Jian Zeyang could no longer say anything.

"Bai Shuang!" Zhang Dingzhong: "Your emergency team and other wounded all board the Iron Guard Brigade's intercontinental-class train. We, the Iron Guard Brigade, will retreat last."

Bai Shuang nodded with a solemn expression.

"Old Chief..."

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

Zhan Wei walked over with dozens of airport security personnel and said in a low voice: "Our security regiment wants to join the defense line together."

Zhang Dingzhong looked back at him, his eyes changed slightly, and he said in a low voice:

"Not a coward after all."

After speaking, he moved quickly toward the outer defense line. Adjutant Ma Xiaotang and Security Regiment Captain Zhan Wei followed immediately.

In an instant, all the Iron Guard Brigade and Security Regiment personnel were mobilized, and the atmosphere was extremely murderous.

Bai Shuang looked at Lin Xian at this moment and said with a solemn expression:

"Lin Dui, I and the people from each convoy are responsible for sequence scheduling and traction device loading. Then you will be responsible for completing the configuration of the train traction steel cables."

Lin Xian nodded: "No time to lose!"
