Chapter 641 (1/2)

Airship is a good thing.

When we saw NAC's steel airship, and the supply airship, which was delivering ammunition 600 kilometers away, all the businessmen travelling around the sixth block were keenly aware of this.

It is more than 600 kilometers to transport goods from Hongcheng to Wanghai City, and the road, whether it is predators or other species, will cause great losses to the past caravan. Considering the road conditions of the waste soil, the cost of anything from Hongcheng to Wanghai has to be doubled at least.

But if there is such a thing as airship, the situation is very different!

Some businessmen are even considering ordering a few private airships to a military factory on the sixth block. Steel airship they don't have the money, but it's OK to get an ordinary airbags airship.

However, the only difficult thing to do is helium. Although it was not in short supply before the war because of the nuclear fusion power station, it is more difficult to get a little helium now than to go to the sky after the war. Helium is not available, and hydrogen airships are too dangerous, so the idea has to be abandoned.

In NAC, helium is a strategic reserve resource.

Fortunately, the U.S. is selling helium.

As the strategic reserve of airship, the helium storage tank built by the United States in 1925 accounts for 30% of the world's helium reserves. However, with the airship almost out of military use, the depot consumed a lot of maintenance money every year, so Congress decided to sell all helium 15 years ago. And the resolution also makes helium extremely cheap on the international market. It is more than 20 times lower than its actual value.

As a result, Jiang Chen can easily get a large amount of helium to subsidize the production in the end of the world.

But if we open up the production of civil airships, the liquid helium that he brought from this world is not enough. At present, there are more than 500 chambers of commerce with long-distance transportation business in the sixth block. If the number of these hundreds of airships is maintained. The helium gas consumed every day can be used to build an airship.

Before solving the problem of helium production, Jiang Chen has no plans to release helium resources for the time being.

However, after discussion with Chunan, NAC decided to set up two air transport flights between Wanghai city and Hongcheng City, and build two new 300 ton large air bag airships for flight operation. This route will supplement the land commercial route and provide paid freight service for several large chambers of Commerce.

At the same time, it also provides paid direct passenger service for survivors from both places.

……

Five days have passed since the end of the Gru tribe.

The Federation and the Empire on both sides of the Ganjiang River maintained a posture of confrontation. The uprisings in Donggang plantation suffered under the siege of the imperial regular army.

Because of the arrival of NAC, the whole Hongcheng is in a mess.

However, in contrast to the hot water of the Empire, NAC's control area was the only one with the best scenery. Farming has been restored to the jinxihu farm, where survivors, once slaves of mutants, have become masters and built houses in the residential area designated by NAC.

On the farm, we can occasionally see businessmen in suits and shoes. In the company of several mercenaries to walk around. Most of them are sixth block investors, lucky enough to buy land from the bank. Almost as soon as they got the land certificate, these merchants could not wait to board the new airship flight and arrived at Hongcheng, 600 kilometers away.

Also brought here are cement, steel, graphene tube and other building materials. The fence of jinxihu farm has been re reinforced, and a small market has sprung up. The seeds of order have been sown. I believe that it will not be long before the germination of prosperity will come back here.

While the farm of Jinxi lake was being rebuilt, the overburdened empire finally sent envoys to Jiang Chen to express the emperor's desire for peace. However, where will Jiang Chen, who is in an advantageous position, agree?

”Let your emperor come to see me. Maybe I can keep his palace and let him continue to be his native emperor in that stadium. Otherwise, let him seek his own fortune. ” In the face of the emissary kneeling on one knee, Jiang Chen said.

If the emperor of the empire is wise enough. It's OK to promise to join NAC's flag voluntarily and let him continue to be the emperor. Although we can't enjoy the treatment of more than 10000 people as before, it's no problem to spend the rest of my life safely and steadily.

However, it is a pity that both the Senate and the emperor were extremely angry at Marshal NAC's ”arrogance”.

”These rats are really deceiving people
