Chapter 718 Datong

With the stability of the west coast of America, the continuous arrival of expeditionary force reinforcements has accelerated the federal control of the area.

At this time, the first group in charge of the West Coast region had a total of 150,000 federal local soldiers, plus 870,000 temporary soldiers adapted from the original US Army.

The newly formed second group also has 150,000 local soldiers, plus 280,000 people adapted from the original US army.

The second group quickly entered Arizona from southeastern California, preparing to advance into the Mississippi River Basin.

The third group coming from the mainland is also halfway there. It is estimated that in about 8 days, it will arrive in Seattle, and then push northeastward and enter the Maple Leaf Country.

Right now.

More than 8,000 personnel sent by the federation to handle local civil work also arrived one after another, and began to carry out a comprehensive social reform of the mess that Noah would leave behind.

The so-called social formatting is to completely abandon the previous local society, including rules, currency, production technology, culture and language.

Even as North America is covered in volcanic ash, irreversible mass extinction has occurred, which means that the Federation may need to rebuild the natural ecology of the Americas from beginning to end.

Li Guodong, who is in charge of overall work in the West Coast region, is currently in San Francisco, California. Standing on the top of the temporary civil management center building, he looks at the local people in protective clothing cleaning up the city's debris and garbage on the streets and alleys. .

"The Yellowstone volcano completely destroyed the social system of the Americas. This is a great opportunity for us to reshape American society. We must not betray the trust of the Federation."

Hearing his words, a dozen other department heads also nodded.

Now is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime good time, at least after the collapse of the original old society, the locals have to submit to the federation for a chance of survival.

The Federation can also use strong methods to transform American society into the shape the Federation wants to see.

Li Guodong's first instruction was to eliminate all illegal armed forces in the west coast area and to remove all hot weapons in the hands of locals.

Tom, who had just returned home, heard a knock on the door not more than ten minutes after entering. He carefully looked outside through the peephole.

I found six or seven soldiers standing outside the door, two of whom were federal soldiers wearing exoskeletons, and the rest were temporary soldiers who had been recruited.

One of the temporary soldiers shouted: "Is Tom Gawley home?"

Although Tom was nervous, he still opened the door and asked with a dry smile: "Everyone, what can I do for you?"

The moment he opened the door, he found the soldiers outside the door, who had two completely different reactions. The temporary soldiers stared at Tom nervously, and at the same time, their guns were also aimed at him.

The federal soldiers wearing exoskeletons are much calmer. After all, civilian firearms really pose no threat to the exoskeleton armor that has been upgraded several times.

The temporary soldier who just asked the question took out a leaflet:

"This is a gun ban. Now please cooperate with our work and hand over all the firearms and ammunition held by you and your family to us. As compensation, we will give you a certain amount of compensation."

"Forehead……"

The soldier warned: "Don't take any chances. If you conceal it and fail to hand it over, your temporary citizen status will be revoked once you are discovered. It's best to consider the consequences."

Facing the heavily armed soldiers, Tom obediently handed over another hidden revolver and two boxes of 9mm bullets.

However, the gun surrender team did not completely believe Tom. Instead, they took the detector and carefully scanned the inside and outside of the house.

Suddenly there were bursts of gunfire and some chaotic screams in the community.

Obviously not everyone is willing to cooperate, but in order to completely clean up civilian firearms once and for all, the Federation will never compromise or give in.

Throughout the city of San Francisco, crackling gunshots have been heard from time to time in the past few days.

Tom, who successfully applied for a job as a corpse carrier at the crematorium, was wearing a work exoskeleton and pulling down more than a dozen long black packages from the corpse transport truck.

"It's some guys who don't know how to live or die again." Colleague Old Jack complained while using an iron hook to lift the straps of the body bag.

Tom shrugged awkwardly at Old Jack's complaints.

There are many people who cannot see the situation clearly. In order to make money, Tom applied for a job as a corpse mover with a monthly salary of 4,000 credits. In less than four days of work, he handled more than 300 corpses.

Obviously, the number of resisters brought by the gun ban is not small. In this special period, as long as they resist with guns, they will basically be shot on the spot.

This has become a major focus in the West Coast region in recent times.

the other side.

A large chemical industry base in northern California has also been restarted, and local chemical engineers are modifying some equipment.

In addition, the electrosynthetic equipment shipped from the mainland was placed in a vacant factory building. Li Guodong and the person in charge of the factory watched the production of rapid settling agents.

This is the first chemical plant to produce settling agents locally and can produce about 500 tons of settling agents every day.

About 7 kilometers away is the rocket production factory, where the settling agent will be sent here and filled into the rockets.

These rockets filled with sinking agent will then be transported to the frontline base by transport aircraft or trains.

In order to restore the power supply on the West Coast as soon as possible, the federal government made the Dalian Shipyard work overtime to complete the newly built offshore power station, the Datong, ahead of schedule, and then drove it to the dock in San Francisco and parked it to supply power to nearby areas.

The Datong offshore power generation platform is a very large ship with a full load displacement of about 750,000 tons. It is equipped with the latest generation of nuclear fusion power generation units developed by Suiren.

The maximum output power of this power generation ship is 70,000 to 80,000 megawatts, and it has four Jinwu 4.3 nuclear fusion generator units.

Many of the local electricians who were temporarily recruited to transform California's power grid were busy in the San Francisco port area. Under the leadership of Guodian's power engineers, they changed the power grid's transformer distribution system to a voltage suitable for the local area.

Looking at the giant ship not far away, which was continuously outputting surging electric energy, power engineer Ben Locke smiled bitterly to the old Guodian engineer standing aside:

"Teacher, I didn't expect to see you again in such a way."

The old engineer was Ben Locke's teacher. He went to Guodian to study for about half a year in 2009.

"Ben, times are changing, and each of us has to face reality."

Ben Locke looked at the giant ship and asked with a hint of helplessness: "Is the reactor on this power ship a mature nuclear fusion power generation technology?"

The old engineer didn't answer, just smiled.

As an experienced power engineer, Ben Locke obviously already knew the situation on the Datong. After all, he could not imagine any fission reactor that could produce a nuclear reactor with a power of 70,000 to 80,000 megawatts.

After all, he had participated in the construction of the power system of the Ford aircraft carrier. The two nuclear fission reactors on the Ford had a maximum output of only about 2,000 megawatts.

The maximum output power of the Datong is about 40 times that of the Ford. The two are not of the same order of magnitude at all.

Except for reactors with controllable nuclear fusion, known nuclear fission reactor technology cannot achieve this level.

Thank you for your support (ω｀). I still have more than 70 monthly tickets to reach 2,000. If I reach 2,000, I will add two more tickets tomorrow (ω)hiahiahia
