    In the small and closed bridge, the operators were sitting in front of the equipment, staring intently at the screens in front of them.

    The officer sitting in the captain's position was a little uncomfortable. Although he had been on the ship for a few days, as an army officer, he was still not used to this kind of naval-style bridge.

    "Navigator, please report our current position." As if to alleviate the discomfort caused by this slight discomfort, the captain asked the navigator who was operating the radar on the side.

    Because the bridge is small, there are not many people on the bridge. In addition to the captain himself, there are only four people: the helmsman, the communications officer, the first mate, and the navigator who was asked by the captain.

    "We are currently at xx degrees east longitude and xx degrees north latitude, and the radar shows everything is normal." The navigator glanced at the radar and informed the captain.

    Listening to the navigator¡¯s answer, the captain nodded clearly and asked: ¡°How far are we from our destination?¡±

    "According to the radar, we are still about 80 kilometers away from our destination. At our current forward speed, we will arrive in six hours." The navigator just measured the distance on the radar and then informed the captain.  gave an accurate reply.

    This made the captain breathe a sigh of relief. He was still a little nervous about performing such a mission for the first time, but now he heard that he would reach the destination in six hours, which made him feel relieved.

    The vehicle, or warship, he was driving was the latest land-speeding ship equipped to the army.

    But this is not a newly built warship, but one that Chen Xin transformed from those warships frozen in the military port.

    Its prototype is an old navy warship. After Chen Xin¡¯s upgrade and transformation, it has now become a land cruiser.

    The hull of the ship has been greatly changed from that of the original naval ship. There are four more tracks under the original hull as a traveling mechanism, and the bow part has also been transformed into a huge dock to accommodate the ship.  Vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles carried on board.

    As for the deck, because the bow does not need to break waves, it has been changed from the original pointed head to a flat head, and the armament has been strengthened.

    The original naval gun on the front deck has been upgraded, and a twin 75mm electromagnetic gun has been installed. The original missile launch port on the deck has been moved to the aft deck. At the same time, the bridge has been shrunk and moved forward to make the deck appear more powerful.  More compact and smaller.

    In addition to the missile launch port, the rear deck also retains the original helicopter hangar and landing platform.

    In addition, two more single-mounted 75mm electromagnetic guns were added to the side, and the original smoke exhaust duct was removed.

    After all, after installing the new nuclear power system, the original huge oil tank and engine room are no longer needed, nor is the huge chimney.

    Therefore, after such transformation, the originally more than 100 meters long hull was shortened a lot, leaving only more than 70 meters, and the hull also became low and compact.

    However, because the original ship type was a destroyer, Chen Xin did not change its purpose after it was converted into a land cruiser. Instead, Chen Xin used it as a small mobile base for border maintenance that he had previously discussed with the military.  implementation plan.

    The original helicopter hangar on the ship is still retained, but Chen Xin also installed 3D printing equipment here.

    Usually this is a hangar for parking helicopters, but when necessary, the helicopter can be moved to the landing platform at the stern of the ship, and then turned into a 3D printing workshop for printing what is needed.

    The reason why the two are combined is to save space. After all, the whole ship is so big. In order to better drive on land, Chen Xin also reduced the volume and length. With limited space, it is indeed impossible.  Then set aside space specifically for 3D printing.

    At the same time, after some upgrades by Chen Xin, the number of pilots required for this land cruiser has also been greatly reduced, and the number of necessary crew members has even been reduced to less than fifty by Chen Xin.

    ¡°However, in accordance with previous military requirements, in addition to the crew, this land cruiser also carries a reinforced mechanized infantry company for border patrols and other combat missions.

    According to the original plan, they will arrive at the border area of ??Inner Mongolia, establish three permanent strongholds in the border area, and resume border patrols, and this land cruiser is their support for executing this plan.

    For the tasks assigned by the military, the captain did not have any other thoughts other than completing the tasks.

    As a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders, not to mention the task of protecting your home and country.

    But the captain still had some doubts about how to better complete this task.Worry.

    After all, whether it was the equipment, the mission, or the environment in which the mission was performed, it was an unprecedented first time for the captain. He really didn¡¯t know how to establish a permanent stronghold in such an icy and snowy environment.

    Although the military equipped the land cruiser with a scientific officer responsible for this matter and an engineering team assigned to the ship before departure, the captain has also had detailed exchanges with the ship in the past few days to understand  The key to completing this mission is to equip them with 3D printing equipment.

    But for the captain, facing a field that he has never been exposed to before, this still makes him feel unsure.

    "As a soldier, shrinking back in the face of difficulties is really not a qualified soldier, so although he has no confidence in his heart, he still firmly believes that the mission will be completed successfully.

    Just when the captain was considering whether to go to the science officer to ask about establishing a permanent base after rotating with the first mate later, the communications officer on the side suddenly reported: "Report to captain, ship No. 2 is sending  Call me and ask if you need to speed up your progress and arrive at your target location earlier."

    Hearing the inquiry from the No. 2 ship, the captain thought about it and then said to the communications officer: "Reply to the No. 2 ship and maintain the current forward speed."

    The captain did not agree to the proposal of the No. 2 ship. Although they were currently moving at cruising speed and could indeed increase to full speed to arrive at the target location about an hour earlier, for the sake of safety, the captain decided to maintain the current speed.  .

    This landspeeder is not advancing alone. There are three other landspeeders around it, but among them, only the No. 2 ship that sent the communication is performing the border garrison mission like this landspeeder.

    The other two land cruisers have different configurations from them and will continue to move forward, chasing the land-based aircraft carrier that has already headed to Lucia, and will go to Europe with it as the aircraft carrier's escort formation.

    Therefore, considering the requirements for the formation to move forward, the captain does not intend to speed up, and everything is safe.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
