Chapter 134 Setting the Mountain on Fire

As Yin Yan said, rats have entered the Wooden Age and started using tools.

This is just the beginning.

What is certain is that the mouse will give him more "surprises" in the future.

Although Zhou You didn't want this so-called "surprise", the matter obviously would not change due to his personal will.

There are rats in far more than just Lelai and Kangyue counties around the world.

Zhou You even speculated in his mind that maybe the rats in neighboring countries in South Asia had entered the Stone Age, or even started the agricultural age.

In today's world, no matter how bizarre a development is, it seems reasonable.

Before this, Zhou You had imagined many times that the so-called fire-raiser would appear among the mice.

He knew this day would come sooner or later.

He has also been doing psychological construction for this.

But even though he told himself countless times in his heart that I was ready, when the day finally came and a mouse using self-modified tools with obvious civilized characteristics appeared within the scope of his cognition, wandering around

There is still a lingering strong throbbing in my heart.

Now, you no longer need to go to the front to explore in person to know how the base of the high-voltage power tower moves.

Obviously, the mouse has known the significance and value of high-voltage power towers to humans early on, and has always wanted to get rid of this thing.

However, due to the characteristics of the UHV power transmission network, it is unrealistic for rats to try to cause a ground short circuit with their own animal bodies and then stop the power grid.

After all, the power tower is so high, and at the same time it needs to maintain a large enough amount of electricity for a long time, rather than being burned and carbonized by the ultra-high voltage electricity, and then immediately stopping the short circuit.

So if you want to use your body to destroy an ultra-high-voltage line, I'm afraid dozens or millions of rats will die at one time, and you may not be able to succeed.

Even though mice are capable of reproducing, they simply cannot withstand such consumption.

At present, the mouse may not have grasped the principle of metal conduction. Of course, it may also be that the mouse has not been able to find it for a while, or it may have thought of attaching a long enough piece of metal to a high-voltage wire to lead the current directly to the ground.

In short, the rats in Kangyue County adopted a seemingly clumsy method.

That is to use the natural burrowing ability of rats to hollow out the soil under the base of high-voltage electricity towers.

Then, naturally, the hated electric tower can be allowed to fall down on its own.

But it was precisely because of this stupid method that these mice figured out a wooden pull cart, a tool that could take them officially on the road to civilization.

Perhaps during the process of digging a hole, or perhaps when the Rat King first ordered to dig a hole, the rat realized that it was too inefficient to transport soil with its mouth alone.

At this time, it may be the Rat King, or it may be some "inventor" among ordinary rats, who thought of using the method of dragging wooden boards to increase the amount of soil that each mouse can move when entering and exiting the mouse hole.

Then, this wooden cart may have gone through some iterations and became what it is today.

Fortunately, the mouse has not yet realized the principle of circular rolling, or it may be that the bearing has not been manufactured for the time being. Otherwise, if the mouse now learns to add wheels to the bottom of the flatbed truck, the team led by Zhou You and Deng Tao will collapse.

A few people were lost.

"Oh my god! I feel like the base moved downwards just now. It might really fall over!"

Yin Yan's startled shouting came again from the intercom.

Zhou You turned to look at Deng Tao, about to ask him where exactly this high-voltage transmission line controlled the power supply.

At this time, Shen Moxin guessed Zhou You's idea and said proactively: "This line is the backbone network. In addition to managing the power supply in Lelai County, there are also power supply centers for several counties and prefecture-level cities going forward. It has something to do with it. This is what Shen Ling’s mother told me.”

Shen Ling's mother, Lin Youli, originally worked as an engineer at Fanyang City Thermal Power Station, so it made sense that she was familiar with the line network.

Lin Youli usually talks about work matters with her husband at home after work, probably because of Shen Shen's new personal hobby. Sometimes Lin Youli encounters some small troubles at work. This snake oil electronics enthusiast also Can give some reliable suggestions.

In short, after being reminded by Silence Xin, Zhou You and Deng Tao only thought about it for less than ten seconds and immediately made a new decision.

"Lao Gao, please stop the convoy."

Zhou You gave the order immediately.

Gao Zhanying immediately raised the red flag, turned on the intercom at the same time, and issued a parking order in the fleet command system.

On the other side, Yin Yan originally wanted to descend further to see the situation, but she finally attracted the attention of the mouse below.

The mouse pulling the cart looked up at Yin Yan's drone above and let out a squeak.

The next moment, a bunch of rats swarmed out from the upper area.

Yin Yan discovered that the heads of some of the rats were actually covered with large helmets that looked like wooden boards.

This large helmet has two holes for the eyes, and there is a wooden thorn protruding from the top of the helmet, which is about half a decimeter away from the front of the mice's heads.

The spikes on the wooden helmets on some of the rats' heads have even been dyed red.

Of course, there are also some mice that are not wearing any equipment.

As soon as these mice appeared, the first action they took was to immediately run towards the big tree next to them, seemingly to gain height and obtain favorable terrain.

Fortunately, Yin Yan reacted in time and immediately raised the height of the drone.

Because just when her drone passed over an upper branch, a rat that had been lying in wait jumped up into the air and tried to hit the drone's rotor with its body.

Seeing this, Yin Yan exclaimed repeatedly, changed directions urgently to barely avoid it, and then quickly raised the height of the drone.

Just a few seconds away, her drone was hit.

On the other side, Zhou You and Deng Tao have returned to the car and are preparing to plan the next attack plan.

Gao Zhanying acted on his own initiative and decided to let Yin Yan continue to rise to the top of the treetops, out of reach of mice. When Yin Yan was safe, Gao Zhanying immediately put his head on the skylight and looked at Zhou Youer inside. people report the situation.

Zhou You and Deng Tao looked at each other and were shocked by the mouse's organization and careful planning.

"Now that our existence has been exposed, the rats will probably speed up their actions! There is no way to plan carefully! We can only set fire to the mountain! Burn all the rats on the hill! We can only pray for high-voltage electricity. Tabie was damaged because of this!”

Deng Tao said this.

Zhou You nodded.

He approved Deng Tao's proposal.

At this point, I can only take a gamble.

If you don't gamble, sooner or later the rats will completely collapse the base. When the electricity tower falls, the result will be the same.

If you choose to burn the mountain, you may be able to burn the "smart rats" who organized the operation inside, which can be regarded as a serious damage to the rats in Kangyue County.

After just ten minutes of emergency preparation, this elite force of 5,000 people immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

Three Langya IVs are deploying airbags on the roof of a box truck, preparing to take off.

Under these cargo cards, there are people one after another putting gasoline into mineral water bottles.

After taking off, there will only be seven to eight combatants on each Langya IV, and the remaining nearly ten kilograms of load will be used to carry gasoline.

The UAV squadron responded faster and had already set off in advance with a small bottle of gasoline.

At this time, the heavy-duty model aircraft helicopter that Silent Xin spent a lot of effort and hard work on and could retract the rotors with a total hoisting load of more than 30 kilograms finally came into use.

Three hundred single-person airships are also being inflated urgently and are taking off one after another from the open top covers of each box-type cargo card.

In addition, ground troops also began to dispatch after a slight integration.

Since there is no usable road from the highway to the hill, all wheeled vehicles cannot be used.

As for the multi-legged robots, after a simple balance, Zhou You and Deng Tao also decided not to dispatch them, and only let these armored vehicles patrol near the convoy, responsible for defense, and prepare to meet the army of rats that might come to dig out their nests.

The core combat power of the ground forces mainly comes from fifty elite troops equipped with deformable individual exoskeletons, as well as the humanoid armored robot used by Zhou You himself.

Of course, there is also the modified flamethrower carried on the back of the Zhouyou robot. The fire-breathing power has been reduced a lot, but the flamethrower can last for several minutes.

Next, the entire army of 3,000 people will be dispatched.

The remaining two thousand people will be responsible for the defense of the convoy.

Since this support force is here to perform combat missions, of course it will not just drive ordinary vehicles that have been simply modified.

The twelve trucks and eight family cars of various types held by this fleet have all undergone complete war modifications.

In addition to the installation of steel plate armor and steel wire mesh on the bottom of the vehicle, air intake grilles, heat dissipation vents and many other locations for sealing purposes, the vehicle itself has also been heavily weaponized.

Take box trucks as an example. These trucks not only serve as fortress motherships, but also have a large number of holes in the carriage. These holes are used for machine gun turrets, howitzer turrets and skirmisher shooting positions.

As for the modifications of those family cars, although they are not so exaggerated, they should not be underestimated.

Especially those hybrid vehicles with strong discharge capabilities use the principle of electromagnetic fly swatters to install electric shock blocking nets on the car body shell, which is definitely enough to give a drink to rats who try to climb onto the car.

Under the ceilings of these family cars, various launch pads and operating platforms are now installed. After lowering the windows to the appropriate position, there are at least three combat positions in each window.

In addition, most of the recruits and reserve members participating in this operation stayed in trucks, and those in these family cars were basically elites from the Zhou family and the county government.

This arrangement certainly has its purpose.

For example, when going to some relatively narrow areas and it is inconvenient for trucks to enter due to width issues, then you have to rely on these relatively low-width small vehicles to go deep into the area.

The combat members in the car should have been more elite.
