Seeing this new building, Ye Fan knew that it was something that appeared after the system upgrade.

In the original Red Alert game, there was no such building as a military train station.

No wonder Nana said this vehicle was almost unstoppable; it turns out to be an armored train, which indeed is invincible.

However, there is no train station in Dawn City, and the nearest one at Kao Mountain Town is dozens of kilometers away. He doesn't know how this train station will connect through.

Ye Fan immediately asked Nana, "Can the military train station lead to Dawn City?"

Ye Fan's Dawn City now has more than 200,000 people, making the idea of train access quite feasible.

Even if it's not open to the public temporarily, it can still be used for military purposes.

When the time comes, traveling from Dawn City to Coal City, Ice City, Oil City, Crane City, etc., would be very convenient.

Nana immediately explained to Ye Fan, "Sir, the train station can connect to Dawn City, but you need to pay additional construction fees for the railway. Of course, you can also have Engineers and Engineer troops construct it."

Ye Fan felt it would be better to use the Engineers for construction because the cost of railway construction is high, and spending money would be unpredictable.

There's also a lot of survivor labor, with nothing much to do, so they can start working when spring comes.

That's a problem for later; Ye Fan wants to understand the current issue first.

"So what should I do now if I want to build a train station?"

"Sir, if you build the station here, the train can only reach Kao Mountain Town. After all, there are currently no trains running on the national railway network, so the armored train can move smoothly."

Ye Fan nodded; it seems very feasible.

As long as the armored train is built, he can have it move, and even if occasionally another train blocks the railway, Ye Fan can produce Engineer troops to clear it off.

Most importantly, Ye Fan can deploy troops here.

The number of troops depends on how many the train can transport; he could bring all the deployed soldiers back to Dawn City.

Even a Level 3 Mutated Zombie wouldn't dare to block the high-speed armored train.

Ye Fan immediately started examining this armored train.

Armored Train: Special combat unit of the Red Alert.

The entire vehicle is coated in Composite Armor, with two engines and eight carriages, including four troop transport cars and four flatbed cars, capable of carrying two thousand soldiers and sixteen heavy vehicles.

The Commander can add four additional carriages as needed, with each carriage requiring an extra fifteen thousand Gold.

The train uses dual side diesel engines, with a maximum speed of 220 kilometers per hour.

The two engines are equipped with 155mm tank main turrets, four grenade launchers, eight anti-tank missiles, and eight Red Banner anti-aircraft missiles.

It is also equipped with six 30mm autocannons and eight 14.5mm heavy machine guns.

Maximum endurance of 4500 kilometers.

Seeing these magnificent specifications, Ye Fan immediately thought of his airborne gunship.

This beast has more firepower than a gunship and also boasts an impressive carrying capacity that the gunship lacks.

The cost is 300,000, plus the four additional carriages making it 360,000.

Although the cost is high, Ye Fan believes it's worth it.

This one vehicle can transport three thousand soldiers and twenty-four heavy vehicles, such as tanks.

If they squeeze a bit, currently the entire Dawn Army, except for some vehicles, could board this train.

He couldn't wait to have such a mighty unit, leading the troops to shuttle in the city, fighting wherever they went.

If they encounter any supplies, they could easily load them without worrying about space.

However, Ye Fan still had a nagging issue, which was where to build his train station.

It must be on the railway, but the problem is, he currently doesn't have a base vehicle, so all buildings must be placed within the radar range of the base vehicle, and this place is far beyond the Dawn Army's radar range.

Does this mean he has to return to Dawn City to build a repair factory and then produce a base vehicle to bring over?

Ye Fan instinctively shook his head; that's simply unrealistic with such a long journey, it can't be done on impulse.

As he pondered, Nana spoke up with a reminder.

"Sir, please don't forget that you don't necessarily need a base vehicle to place buildings. As long as there's a system building nearby, you can place the train station around it."

"I know that, but how do I get the first building?"

"In the game, by using Engineers to occupy a building like an airport or oil rig, you can place other buildings around it. Similarly, in reality, if you find a building with resources or military value, you can occupy it and use it the same way."

Nana's words caught Ye Fan off guard, then it suddenly reminded him.

In the game, Engineers can capture buildings.

But this doesn't include ordinary buildings, only oil rigs, airports, and enemy Barracks, Tank Factories, base vehicles, and such can be captured.

Using the Red Alert System in the real world for so long, Ye Fan almost forgot how to play the game.

His mind began to race.

"Nana, if I let an Engineer enter the airport here, could I place the train station?"

"Sir, if you want to occupy the airport, you first need to clear out other people inside the airport, and it seems like the airport nearby isn't adjacent to the train station."

This sentence blocked Ye Fan's idea.

It seems that occupying the airport isn't very feasible, so other methods must be considered.

Drilling an oil well, if this thing could be obtained and occupied, would also count as having a building.

Oil isn't produced here, so drilling a well is also not feasible.

"It seems I'll have to let the War Hawk search around and see if there are any buildings with resource value nearby."

Ye Fan started to continue producing War Hawks to scour the area thoroughly.

Once again spending ten thousand gold, he produced twenty War Hawks and began a carpet-style search around the vicinity.

Hard work pays off; by the afternoon, good news finally came.

About three kilometers from the railway line, a water plant was discovered.

This water plant supplies water to the outskirts of Longmen County, and now there is no one there, but there are about hundreds of zombies inside.

In the apocalypse, clean drinking water is also a resource that can be utilized by Ye Fan.

What Ye Fan needs now is a foothold, and this water plant is just right.

With a newly produced company and a platoon, Ye Fan immediately headed straight for the water plant.

Hundreds of zombies were nothing for Ye Fan's over a hundred men; they opened the water plant gates, and the zombies swarmed out.

The strongest among them was an Agile Zombie, which Ye Fan took down first with a single shot.

Red Alert Soldiers began shooting in a fan shape, taking down the zombies one by one at the gate of the water plant.

Flamethrower Warriors started to incinerate the zombie corpses, while Ye Fan produced an Engineer.

Once the Engineer appeared, he reported to Ye Fan, then headed straight to the water purification center of the plant with his toolbox.

That's the core area of the water plant; occupying there means occupying the entire water plant.

Some of the equipment at the water plant was damaged, and the wiring burned out, but the Engineer is adept at fixing these things.

About twenty minutes later, all the water purification equipment here was fully repaired.

The generator started, and with a soft hum, this water plant was even able to be put into use.

From this moment on, this water plant is Ye Fan's occupied property.

"Great! With this location, I can build my station, and even if this water plant falls into disuse again, it won't matter."

Ye Fan first selected the construction of a military train station.

"Confirm the production of the military train station. The cost is two hundred thousand gold, requiring two days. Please be patient, sir."

During the construction process, Ye Fan was not idle; he began looking for a suitable construction site.

This area is seldom visited, it's a suburban area, and there was nothing of value. The water plant couldn't supply drinking water to the Shannan base, so it didn't attract the attention of the Heavy Truck Corps.

This kind of environment was just right for Ye Fan, allowing for peaceful development here.

Arriving at the railway line, Ye Fan found a relatively spacious and flat piece of land.

Then he produced two barrier-breaking vehicles, a versatile type with functions such as bulldozer, excavator, and crane.

He also produced a platoon of Engineers, who hurriedly leveled the land here to lay the foundation for station construction.

Two days quickly passed by.

In these two days, Ye Fan had several soldiers return to Shannan. Their task was to continuously assist the goods brought back by Shen Ruihui and others, transporting them back to the Shannan base for sale.

Ye Fan didn't sell the materials at a low price, as that would be vicious competition.

His method was to purchase a certain amount of materials, after which purchasing firearms from the Dawn Squad was possible.

Ye Fan, after extensive battles, fighting the Survivor Alliance, and incorporating the Crane City Divine Dragon Army, had accumulated a large surplus of weapons and firearms.

Although most were left in Dawn City, Ye Fan still had some on hand.

The 23-type pistol and AK-47 were the weapons he had the most of.

For example, if someone purchased materials worth 200 grams of gold in one go, they would have the right to buy a pistol.

If someone purchased materials worth 1000 grams of gold in one go, they would have the right to buy a rifle.

Once this method was introduced, Ye Fan's booth in Dawn City was exceptionally busy.

On the Heavy Truck Corps' side, weapons were mostly in the hands of regular troops; some units even commonly used crossbow arrows and long spears.

Being able to purchase firearms made everyone eager to empty their savings.

Ye Fan's wealth swiftly accumulated in this way.

In two days, daily sales exceeded fifty thousand gold, and there was a trend of continuing to rise.

On the evening of the second day, when Ye Fan's subordinates closed up their booth, they even received a large order.

Two days later, Ye Fan finally awaited the completion of the station construction.
