Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's discouraging words, Lorraine waved her hand dismissively.

"It's alright, just take care of what you can manage. When the time comes, I'll set up a temporary prison with sandbags and barbed wire, and throw all these people in there as test subjects."

Seeing Ethan's instantly sour expression, Lorraine knew he had misunderstood.

"I don't conduct biological experiments; I'm just using them to test the still-developing riot control robots."

After all, in the post-apocalyptic environment, these riot control robots not only have to deal with rioting criminals, but also have the ability to handle a small number of zombies.

Lorraine already has ideas about the weapon configuration for the riot control robots; now all that's needed is to test the appropriate coil output.

Suddenly, Lorraine scratched her chin and looked at Ethan expectantly.

"I have two more questions to ask."

"Please speak."

"First of all, are all your pioneering teams, sentries, and farmers proficient in operating agricultural machinery?"

Do you know of any other survivor camps nearby?

Ethan frowned and thought for a while before answering Lorraine's question.

"I remember they usually use some basic agricultural machinery, but among these people, not only do they grow wheat, but some also grow fruit."

"As for the survivor camp..."

He frowned and thought for a long time before giving a vague answer.

"There's a small mine to the north; there might be some survivors there."

"So how did you manage to get here from the towns outside the city?"

However, this question is somewhat of a rhetorical one.

"About a year after the apocalypse, the moon suddenly turned red. After that, the zombies' aggression dropped sharply. The day after the blood moon ended, we only brought some essential items and crossed the city during the day to get here."

Having received the answer, the exchange came to an end. Lorraine waved, indicating that he could return to his camp first.

Before leaving the cabin, Ethan inexplicably turned around and asked a question.

"Could you provide us with some food?"

The amount of food stored in the camp had already been determined after the raid in the early morning, and the remaining food was enough to feed the remaining 200-plus people in the camp for a long time.

After a moment's thought, Lorraine agreed to his request and decided to replenish their supplies with canned meat regularly.

After hearing that Lorraine had agreed to his request, he bowed deeply, then turned around, got into his off-road vehicle, and left.

When he returned to the camp, he saw an aircraft equipped with four large ducted fans parked outside the camp. Then two assault robots appeared and led them to unload the supplies stored in the prototype's cabin.

Inside the command center, after assigning the construction tasks for the prison, Lorraine discussed the surrounding situation with Parkinson.

At this moment, the Stealth Eagle drone had already transmitted the surrounding situation back to the command center.

The situation in the surrounding area is not optimistic.

A military base located in the south of the city, about 70 kilometers from the front lines and only 23 kilometers from the coastline.

Inside it is a large zombie nest.

Moreover, it was surrounded by mutated zombies.

From the most common quadrupedal crawlers and acid-spitting fat zombies to the recently killed skeletal zombies and slow-moving six-armed zombies.

The outermost perimeter even contains a massive horde of animal zombies, which, according to Cleveland's analysis, likely possess an extremely high reproductive capacity.

"Hiss, this zombie still remembers to eat meat."

However, to command these zombies, a leader is needed. Based on the current situation, this leader is either the lair itself or hidden within the lair.

Although the nest was within range of 76mm rapid-fire naval guns and 130mm electromagnetic railguns, Lorraine did not rush to attack it.

He feared that the carbon-based biota active in the surrounding mines had not yet been fully explored, and that a large-yield explosive detonation in the area would attract too much attention.

Information obtained through the intelligence system shows that the nearest of these six silicon-based biomes is only 76 kilometers from the port, while the furthest is more than 500 kilometers away.

To prevent the various silicon-based biomes from supporting each other and scattering, Lorraine needs to launch a devastating attack on all silicon-based biomes simultaneously.

During the seven days he spent at that small naval base, Lorraine made some simple adjustments to the main guns of the three destroyers, installing electromagnetic coils on them.

This allows it to achieve a range of 40 kilometers when firing conventional shells and a range of 95 kilometers when firing rocket-assisted guided shells.

This is because the Lorraine modified its rocket-assisted projectiles by eliminating the propellant, but at the cost of reducing the rate of fire of the ship's guns to 20 rounds per minute when firing this type of projectile, and only the three-coordinate search radar and the close-in weapon system at the bow can function normally.

Before launching an attack on the silicon-based creatures, Lorraine needs to restore the operation of all the military factories in the city to provide manpower to eliminate the two silicon-based creature swarms that are outside the range of the Sea Knight's main guns.

Relying on a large number of unmanned combat units, Lorraine quickly cleared all the zombies from the area and installed barbed wire around it.

Meanwhile, a Vanguard-class high-speed transport ship equipped with 10 sets of small floating power generation systems and energy storage devices has set off and is rushing to the shallows under the escort of three unmanned boats. It is expected to land on the shoal in about 4 hours.

The following morning, with the help of engineering robots, unmanned trailers, and transport vehicles, the power system had been set up, and the four small military factories in the area were able to start operating at full speed.

Led by two patrol teams, several large transport vehicles have gone to a small mine 4 kilometers away from the flagship to collect raw materials.

Using the floating power generation system, these raw materials were quickly processed into finished steel, which was then put into these four small military factories.

Another day passed, and it was now the third day since Lorraine and his team landed on the shallows. Sixty riot control robots of various models had been put into use.

The outermost perimeter guard and surveillance missions are carried out by the Hound Multi-Purpose Combat Platform and the smart turret.

The inner patrols are carried out by 6 optimized initial-version heavy-armored robots leading 60 riot control robots.

The 60 riot control robots consist of 30 robotic dogs, 20 billiard-ball robots, and 10 riot control drones equipped with four ducted fans.

These 30 robotic dogs are similar to the previous Patrol Type 1, except that their ammunition has changed from lead bullets to rubber bullets with steel cores.

Those 10 drones with 4-duct fans were Ouyang Nian's experimental products.
