Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 191 A New Source of Power

As Lorraine entered the cargo hold through the bottom hatch, shield in hand, the strange creature that appeared before him utterly shocked him.

"Ugh, this thing looks so abstract!"

At this moment, chasing the unmanned combat unit inside the warehouse is a super-sized stomach that is 3 meters high and 4 meters wide, with 6 slender arms and almost no legs.

If you zoom in a little more, you can see white insects moving around on its body.

When Bai Jin and Ouyang Nian arrived at the warehouse and saw this enormous creature, they immediately turned to look at Lorraine, who was carrying a flamethrower.

Lorraine's lips twitched slightly, but he could only deploy the flamethrower on his back, preparing to step forward and set it ablaze.

He secured the flamethrower to the firing slot on the right side of the shield, then carefully moved forward while holding the shield.

Bai Jin and Ouyang Nian could also hear Lorraine's ramblings through the built-in communication channel.

"I should have brought a grenade launcher. With white phosphorus incendiary bombs, I could have turned the hatch into a giant torch just by standing at the door."

Lorraine silently approached the large zombie, stopping 30 meters away with his legs slightly bent and one in front of the other.

"Clap"

After a gunshot, the shield stood firmly on the ground.

After confirming that the flamethrower was locked in the firing slot, Lorraine tensed up and pulled the trigger of the flamethrower.

"call--"

A raging fire dragon spewed out and rushed towards the zombie 30 meters away.

Lorraine then used the sound pickup system to hear a series of crackling sounds.

Ten seconds later, Lorraine learned from unmanned combat units in different locations that the large zombie was engulfed in flames. Only then did he release the trigger of the flamethrower, raise his shield, and quickly leave the frantically writhing large zombie.

Watching the plumes of black smoke billowing from the burning giant zombie, Lorraine and her two companions were thankful that they had activated the air circulation system the moment they entered the cargo ship.

Two minutes passed, and the large, burning zombie was still writhing wildly, occasionally splattering burning, unidentified objects.

Although there were no other flammable materials in the cargo hold, Lorraine still called the flagship, asking Cleveland to send out several unmanned fire trucks.

Five minutes later, the two sentry robots had finished inspecting the other two cargo holds, several fire trucks had arrived at the scene, and the data panel showed a new kill reward, but the large zombie was still writhing wildly.

Not wanting to waste time here, Lorraine called a robot squad that was on a mission nearby and asked them to come and monitor the large zombie with its extremely tenacious vitality.

While waiting for the robot crew, the mechanical dog team had already located a warehouse that appeared to contain special items.

After leaving the ship, the three quickly rejoined the mechanical dog squad using their own propulsion system.

This warehouse is similar to the warehouse where Lorraine previously discovered the air guns. It has a special compartment inside, but this time the compartment is quite unique, from the walls to the access control.

The exterior walls of this compartment are coated with an ultra-black material with a visible light reflectivity of only 0.32%. To open the compartment door, you need to find a specially designed access control hidden under the exterior wall and use a specially made 11-digit random key. Set this as your homepage to get daily updates on works like "Apocalypse: I Build a Space Fleet".

Of course, Lorraine only learned about the access control system later, since she had not yet discovered any combination lock that could rival Cleveland's decoding capabilities.

Two floors down from the cubicle, Lorraine saw the surprise mentioned in the intelligence system.

That was a pressurized water reactor used on ships.

Once Lorraine entered the space where the pressurized water reactor was stored, he keenly noticed several tracks on the ceiling.

Lorraine used the same trick again, relying on Roy's external power supply to copy all the information in the terminal.

By copying the information, Lorraine learned of a special passageway for transporting the reactor, and at the end of the passageway was a medium-sized submarine used to transport the equipment.

Although Lorraine was very interested in the reactor, he needed to provide temporary power to a part of the dock with Cleveland's cooperation, and he was on his way to the power supply area.

After passing through an arched tunnel, Lorraine arrived below the fuel storage area and saw two large diesel engines.

Since the quality of the fuel in the fuel tanks was unknown, Lorraine chose to use the fuel reserves loaded on the replenishment ship.

With the assistance of engineering robots, the pipeline was properly connected, and the freshly manufactured fuel was poured directly into the engine through the pipeline.

Roy was left there to monitor the engine's operation, while Lorraine and the others returned to the room storing the reactor with the remaining mechanical dogs, preparing to transport the reactor to the end of the tunnel and use the large submarine to transport it out.

As the crane lifted the reactor, the three of them split into two groups. Ouyang Nian stayed by the terminal to control the crane's movement, while Lorraine and Bai Jin went to the end of the tunnel with the reactor.

Although the reactor has been miniaturized and made as lightweight as possible, it still weighs over 600 tons, so how to transport it to the flagship at sea is a question worth considering.

The good news is that after inspecting the submarine, Lorraine discovered that it was a large submarine with a high degree of intelligence, specifically designed for transportation, and that it could operate normally by equipping it with 20 humanoid robots and 60 spider robots.

Although he didn't know why these two things had appeared here, Lorraine decided to put them aside for now and instead focus all his attention on clearing out the zombies in the city.

Lorraine currently has only five wheeled combined arms battalions and two assault battalions at its disposal.

With Lorraine's existing armed forces, they can only proceed cautiously, gradually eroding the zombies in each city.

Back in the cockpit, Lorraine opened the map and, together with Platinum, began searching for their first target.

After searching the map, Lorraine found an arms production area located 35 kilometers south of the port.

The military factories in this region are capable of producing individual weapons and ammunition, light vehicles, and light armored vehicles.

There are several gas stations and large open spaces nearby.

In order to get this arms production area into operation as soon as possible, Lorraine began to calculate the various materials needed.

While calculations were being performed in Lorraine, unmanned combat units at the dock were installing newly produced barbed wire and barricades around the port.

Meanwhile, the Sea Knight and destroyer No. 201 left the port and headed toward the coast 35 kilometers away.
