Chapter 66: Steampunk armored train

Due to the impact of natural disasters, the original railway transportation system was severely damaged. Although the railway line has been restored to operation after the disaster, regardless of the cost, the original electric locomotive is obviously unable to run. After all, the high-voltage power supply network along the line is mostly destroyed. In the previous fire and impact.
　　 So now all the old steam locomotives running on the railways of Yan country.
Although the speed is not as fast as an electric locomotive, under the current circumstances, this old coal-burning locomotive is much more reliable than an electric locomotive, and the steam locomotive can run around with a coal car attached to it. With the support of the high-voltage power supply network along the line, the maintenance requirements are much smaller.
The railway does not mean that the railroad tracks are finished. The smooth flow of railway transportation is very dependent on the maintenance of the railway. Now it is no better than before the disaster. The normal use of the railroad tracks is much more troublesome than before, and the important materials can be guaranteed. Transportation is no longer easy.
Hearing the rumbling of the train, Li Tou and the person in charge of the city government hurriedly adjusted themselves. One hurriedly drew out the cigarette in his hand and threw away the cigarette to receive supplies, and the other signaled his own men to let him They are more vigilant.
Along with the sound of train wheels "not to mention", a locomotive spewing white steam emerged from the darkness like a monster. The driver rang the whistle, and the harsh sound pierced the night sky, like a behemoth. Roar.
It was indeed a monster that drove out of the darkness. It was a behemoth wrapped in steel. The front of the car was sprayed with strong white steam, which made the entire platform filled with white mist and suddenly changed the line of sight. It must be blurred.
Behind the white steam-spitting car head, there are sections of steel behemoth "body". These cars are wrapped in heavy metal armor and are full of shooting holes. Not to mention, some of the cars have turrets. If shadows appeared in the mist, it was quite hideous.
　　 "Is this an armored train?" Li Tou is quite knowledgeable, and he naturally knows this kind of thing only seen in war movies.
This is something that appeared during the First World War and the Second World War. The train was armed with armor and artillery and used as a mobile fortress and firebase. Relying on the maneuverability of the train, it can indeed effectively ensure the safety along the railway during the war. Used to transport important materials like now.
　　 But this type of armored train also has a big drawback, that is, it is extremely dependent on railways. As long as the tracks are destroyed, this type of armored train is powerful, but it is not indestructible.
　　 But in the current situation, this type of armored train can be very useful for transporting important materials, and it can indeed effectively ensure the safety of materials.
"Really...Where is this old antique?" Li Tou looked at the armored train slowly entering the platform, and couldn't help but vomit. Although he could also see that this should be a new build, the armored train itself, It can be described as old antique.
　　 The person in charge of the municipal government also felt that there were some unbearable scenes. He had come to the railway station to receive supplies several times before, but those times were ordinary coal carts and trucks, not as exaggerated as armored trains.
　　 Looking at the turrets and shooting holes on the armored carriages, he couldn't help feeling a little horrified. At the same time, he was shocked by the aura of the steel monster.
　　 Compared to Li Tou and the head of the city government being frightened by the armored train, Qin Lan looked at this steel monster driving out of the darkness and felt only a sense of magic.
　　 "Is this the steampunk that Ah Xin used to talk about before?" Qin Lan couldn't help but mutter, and the scene in front of her made her only think of this adjective.
　　The end of the world without the sun, an armored train spewing out steam and wrapped in steel, if it weren't for the reality after the end, Qin Lan would really think this was a scene in a movie before the disaster.
　　 But unfortunately, this kind of scene that would only be seen in movies or historical documentaries has become a reality in this post-apocalyptic world.
　　 In the current temperature is gradually lowering, in June comparable to December weather, steam locomotives are indeed much more practical than electric locomotives in some aspects, especially when the railway power system is basically reimbursed.
　　 At present, except for a few electric locomotives running on railway lines, most of them have been replaced by steam locomotives.
As for why the armored train was pulled out of history, on the one hand, it is to ensure the safety of important materials for transportation, and on the other hand, it is also to deter some people who feel that the times have changed and can carry forward the traditional art of railway guerrilla. Don't take risks if you can.
　　 So far, railroads have actually been destroyed, and material transport trains have been robbed. It is also a practical need to use armored trains to transport these important materials. UU reading www. uukahnshu.com
　　 Most of these people came from villages and towns. Before the disaster, they had escaped by the village shelters. After the disaster, in order to obtain supplies, it was not impossible for groups to destroy the railway to intercept the train.
　　 Most of these village and town shelters were temporarily constructed three months before the disaster. Most of the people who lived in were from the same village or neighboring villages, and most of them had relatives. Gangs commit crimes frequently.
　　 This kind of thing was not uncommon in Yan country in the past. Private road cards were set up on the highway to block road tolls, and accidents caused trucks to overturn and grab goods...
　　 Usually the whole village commits crimes, and the law does not blame the public. In many places, even if the police go there, it will be of no use.
　　 As for the conflict with the police, although the incident of overturning the police car is not too much, it is not an isolated case.
　　Before the disaster, these people certainly did not dare to destroy the railway and derail the train, but for the train that stopped on the railway, these people never gave up the idea of ​​stealing from the train.
This was the case before the disaster. After the disaster, these people were even more unscrupulous. So it's no wonder that the Yan Guo government would use armored trains to important supplies. After all, every car is loaded with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives. equipment.
　　 Under such an important task, these armored trains received military orders, and they were all soldiers performing their tasks. The military orders also meant that someone would die but they would really kill them.
　　 The heavy armored train made a harsh brake sound and stopped on the platform.
　　 The door of the car opened, and a group of soldiers with live ammunition came down first. After the team quickly set up on the platform for alert, an officer with a document in his hand came out of the car.
　　 Seeing the officer appear, the person in charge of the city government hurriedly greeted him.
