It’s January 4th, Year 2 of the Wasteland Calendar, four days have passed since the New Year encounter.

During this period, Qinggang Shelter did not send anyone over, as if they had forgotten that there were still a group of prisoners who had not yet been ransomed.

Faced with this performance, both Yehu and Aldrich breathed a sigh of relief.

The Western Suburbs Alliance has started a rapid exchange of supplies, and we can see a steady stream of transportation vehicles coming and going every day.

Tianyuan Territory Research Institute.

After upgrading the territory, it looks significantly different from the buildings in other places.

It’s not that the design is too advanced, but it feels like it’s integrated with nature.

How to describe it?

At a glance, you can tell that other buildings are newly built, with obvious signs of groundbreaking and construction.

But here, whether it is the green avenue at the door or the buildings behind, there is a natural feeling.

It's like they were already here decades ago.

At this time, two transport vehicles, code-named "Star Boats", slowly drove up in the fog not far from the boulevard.

Its shape is similar to that of a van, with two seats in the front and a box-type locker in the back that is closed to the front row.

In fact, the shape of the first version of the starship was an open-top design, similar to that of a dump truck, but in the end it was considered unsafe to be exposed and transported in the wasteland, and it was canceled because it was more convenient to transport large items on a pallet truck.

But despite this, the maximum loading weight of the 'Star Boat' produced by the Star Chariot Factory still reached a terrifying sixteen tons.

A version of the 'Meteor Type-1 Stone Power Machine' that is similar to a commuter car, it can firmly maintain the cruising speed at 80 yards when fully loaded.

In the current harsh transportation environment, there is no performance anxiety.

Of course, Star Boat's shortcomings are quite obvious.

This domineering-sounding van has a measly 80-kilometer maximum range when fully loaded. It can't even go back and forth across the territorial border.

Although you can manually replace the 'energy stone' when it runs out of power, the replacement process is actually not simple. You need to disassemble the energy machine to operate it. It takes at least half an hour for a skilled worker to do it every time.

As a result, the residents gave Xingzhou a nickname very affectionately.

A lamp a hundred miles away.

The so-called "lights" are actually found in every high-end car. There are fog-penetrating lights hung at the front of the car to indicate the outline.

But because only the star boat would frequently appear in the village for transportation, it formed a memory anchor.

After all, as long as you see a light shining in the village fog, it means that the star boat is about to arrive.

And Baili.

Just don’t mention it!

Drop, drop.

As soon as the star boat entered the tree-lined path, a slightly harsh beeping sound suddenly sounded.

I saw eight armed guards coming out of nowhere on both sides of the road, four in front and four behind, surrounding the two star boats.

"Why is Baili Deng here? I remember it's not delivery time yet?"

"It hasn't arrived yet. It happens once every three days. The last record was the afternoon of the day before yesterday."

"Is it possible that special materials have been sent? According to the regulations, we have to check the pass issued by the village."

"Stop the car first! Don't let them pass!"

The guard captain who was in charge of guarding the institute today just said, "Let's go to the dock and order some French fries."

Since successfully receiving the Harvest Tribe who migrated from the deep sea last time, Li Hu has promoted his position to the level of squad leader.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the registration book handed over by the team members, Xiao Yang coughed lightly and stopped in front of the first star boat.

"Get out of the car and get checked!"

After a large-scale invasion broke out in the territory on the first day of the new year, the security department was fully mobilized.

Not only have defenses been strengthened at the border, but manpower has also been added near important buildings in the territory.

Although the enemy is unlikely to break through the frontline defenses and invade the hinterland silently.

But considering the importance of the institute, a guard team is still stationed here.

"Brother French fries, it's me!"

A middle-aged man with an unshaven beard poked his head out of the right side window of Xingzhou.

Xiao Yang tilted his head, and after the two looked at each other, they said in surprise:

"Mr. Wu, why are you here?"

Midnight Plane, Zhang Guangheng.

The heavyweight boss of the Heavy Industry Pioneer Channel is also the director of the Star Chariot Factory.

If it was a few days ago, this face might still be a bit unfamiliar.

But since the Star Chariot Factory was founded and began exporting vehicles to the outside world, middle-aged people quickly became guests of various major departments.

The day before yesterday, Xiao Yang saw Li Hu affectionately pulling the midnight plane and repeatedly telling him to produce the Guard's "patrol car" as soon as possible. Naturally, this was no stranger to him.

"I'm here to deliver Professor Lu's urgently needed supplies. This is the pass issued by the lord."

"So urgent?"

Xiao Yang clicked his tongue and took a look at the pass. Sure enough, the seal on it was Somo's exclusive seal.

In addition, the seal of the village chief Chen Shen was stamped next to it, which is enough to show the importance of this batch of supplies.

"Is there a big shipment coming out?"

"Not sure, but it should be good news."

"Midnight Plane" revealed the story without any airs, with unconcealable excitement on his face.

In the civilized era, his true identity was not high-ranking, nor did he have any impressive experience that could be boasted to outsiders.

As a middle-aged man who is over forty years old, he is just an ordinary maintenance engineer director in an outsourcing company, earning a salary that is enough to support a family in a first-tier city.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the company's repair scope is very extensive.

They range from civilian airships, gliders, rotor helicopters, drones, ground effect aircraft, etc.

They range from retired reconnaissance aircraft, fighter jets, transport aircraft and combat helicopters.

In his maintenance career of more than 20 years, Zhang Guangheng has touched hundreds and nearly a thousand different aircraft, and also experienced the feeling of flying these vehicles in the sky.

The reason why I gave myself the ID "Midnight Plane".

The reason is simple.

Only in quiet nights could he have time alone with the aircraft that embodies the crystallization of human wisdom.

Feel the charm brought by industry and enjoy the beauty brought by machinery.

The rest of the time, he is just an ordinary person working hard for a salary.

Of course, now he has found a new goal and meaning in life.

With the support of the lords, he became the director of the ‘Star Chariot Factory’ and manufactured vehicles that were urgently needed in various territories.

By the way, when the tank factory's capabilities are sufficient, I can satisfy my dream a little bit.

Own a fighter jet and fly in the sky!

"Although it is hard to imagine that Professor Lu just slept and solved the big problem that has troubled us for three months in his dream."

"But if we can really break through, the shameful name of Baili Deng can finally be changed."

Midnight Plane smiled and held the pass that Xiao Yang handed back in his hand.

When he received this big news in the morning, he was stunned for a few minutes before he realized what was happening.

It is not difficult to understand why he is still excited even now.

If the Dianlang low-power energy machine can be successfully developed, the cruising range of the Starship will be increased to thousands of kilometers.

But for a trip to and from the territorial border, it is no problem to have a range of close to or even more than 300 kilometers.

After replacing the battery once, you can go directly to Qinggang Shelter and Giant City Shelter to transport supplies once. It is no longer as troublesome as having to replace the battery five times to complete the task!

"I don't know much about this, but"

"Good luck to you!"

Xiao Yang chuckled and acted exactly as optimistic as when he got his ID and said, "Let's go to the pier and order French fries."

The two capable vehicles passed the checkpoint and continued inside, soon arriving in front of the large iron gate of the research institute.

The guard in the guard room manually opened the iron door, and several workers jumped out of the car and began to move the supplies.

As for Midnight Plane, he quickly went through the security check and hurriedly rushed into the door of the research room.

"Professor Lu, Professor Lu!"
