"Mr. Commander, in front of you is the Messina Sea-Crossing Bridge." Coco, the female secretary, made a new discovery: "Oh my God, I didn't expect Italy in the 'Many Worlds' to actually complete this feat that spans 2,000 years."
The dream of building a bridge across the Strait of Messina to connect Sicily and the Apennine Peninsula can be traced back to the ancient Romans. According to the records of the ancient Roman writer Pliny the Elder, in 251 BC, A "bridge" composed of ships first connected Sicily to mainland Italy. The Romans transported 140 war elephants captured from the Carthaginians back to the European continent.
Sicily is very close to mainland Italy. In fact, the distance between the Strait of Messina on the Sicilian side and the Italian mainland Reggio di Calabria is only 19 kilometers at its widest point and only 3 kilometers at its shortest point. But this is However, the first cross-sea bridge connecting the European continent and Sicily has not been waiting for a long time.
Two thousand years later, Italy's notorious fascist dictator Mussolini also imagined building a cross-sea bridge in Sicily, but due to the difficulty of construction and the technical conditions of the time, nothing came of it. After World War II, the new Italian government also proposed a plan to build a suspension bridge in the 1990s, but the project has not been started. Finally, in 2006, plans to build the Messina Sea Bridge were canceled due to astronomical budget problems and the government's financial difficulties. It is said that in 2021, the Italian geological community discovered in a scientific study that the seabed of the Strait of Messina is on an earthquake fault. Therefore, the location where the bridge is planned to be built is one of the areas with the highest earthquake risk in Europe. It is undoubtedly a There is a big question mark over whether this ill-fated cross-sea bridge will be built or not.
In fact, this cross-sea bridge cannot be built in two thousand years. In addition to technical reasons, the core difficulty is economic interests. The interests of Sicily are not enough to convince successive Italian governments to spend high budgets to build this cross-sea bridge that is destined to not recover the cost for a long time.
However, with this trans-Mediterranean railway, everything is different. Minerals, crude oil, and labor from North Africa are continuously transported to the Apennine Peninsula via this large railway. When Mexico reached the sea-crossing bridge in Reggio Calabria, it was logically connected by Fat House.
anyway. Taking into account Africa's rich resources, abundant labor force and geographical advantages around the Mediterranean, if this pan-Mediterranean railway can really appear, it will provide a huge impetus for the economic integration of the Eurasian continent. The China-Europe train runs along the Apennine Peninsula, from Sicily to North Africa, connecting Egypt and Libya. Build Eurasian and African railway networks, road networks, electrical networks, and the Internet... Will land power return to the world island?
I have to say that the plot collage of Fat House is full of imagination that only big players can have. In other words, it is not impossible for the infrastructure maniac to build a Messina Cross-Sea Bridge for Italy as a souvenir. It can be seen that the plot collage of Fat House also has certain practical significance.
Wu Chen nodded lightly: "The large railway connecting North Africa from the Apennine Peninsula will definitely pass through Sicily. Then the Messina Cross-Sea Bridge will inevitably exist."
"Everyone, please pay attention, we are facing the next traffic light intersection." Coco's relaxed tone immediately became serious: "After crossing the Messina Cross-Sea Bridge, we will return to the Apennine Peninsula. Perhaps, this is the terminal point of our journey."
"Okay, Coco." The era girls in the car responded in unison. Wu Chen vaguely felt that the time girl's relatives and friends boarded the car, which seemed to have completed the last piece of the puzzle required for "empathy". This is also understandable. Being able to bring the family he cares about most aboard the Fiat to complete the only journey of redemption. Obviously a strong emotional and spiritual support. Girls of the era without "hidden worries" can finally move forward with ease. As a result, the "power of the same mind" began to gather at an accelerated pace. From quantitative change to qualitative change, perhaps there is only one "key plot node" to advance.
Wu Chen and the Times Girls agreed that the Pozzallo Train Station, as the fifth safe stop, was probably the last safe house for this special plan.
"Is there anyone else who hasn't gotten on the bus?" Wu Chen asked in the team's closed-circuit video.
"Mr. Commander, all the relatives and friends we contacted have boarded the train." said Yi Li, a female commentator who was monitoring the closed-circuit video of the entire vehicle in the second "camping carriage" of the Ducato Concept Armored Camper in Section 1 of the Fiat. Sabetta is Wu Chen's second female assistant. At the same time, he is also responsible for operating the "Twin Coaxial Turret" together with the female secretary Coco. The third "troop carriage" and the upper "armored shooting tower" composed of a 5+1 6× reinforced collage are the preparation carriages for the 11 Rocket Girls.
"Okay, Elisabetta." Wu Chen asked again about the construction progress of the jet armed helicopter in the open "multi-functional garage" of the armed expedition yacht "Goddess of Wisdom" in the second section of the Fiat: "Shiben, 7002 is ready. Yet?"
"The engineering progress has been completed and the pilot is being developed for 7002: Catalina gamma (gamma) type."
"Okay, Tokimoto. Officially name the three Catalina sisters (α, β, γ): Alpha, Beta and Gamma."
"Yes, Mr. Commander. The names of the Catalina α service robots, Catalina β transport robots, and Catalina gamma air service robots are: Alpha Catalina, Beta Catalina, and Ga Ma Catalina." Female engineer Shi Ben immediately entered the core instruction set.
"Thank you, Mr. Commander." Having a unique name is actually as important to robots as it is to humans.
The three Catalina sisters who have completed the most advanced mechanical automation of N× collage, each of them is a unique being. When they return to the Broken City and use the biochemical robot technology in the 0326 Star Cube base for a comprehensive upgrade, the three Catalina sisters will also become the right-hand assistants of the housekeeper Ai. In other words, what Wu Chen had to consider was whether he could bring back everyone in the car.
There's one more thing the Rockettes have thought of. That is N× collage enhancement. The reason why the weapons in hand and the armor on the body have powerful attributes that transcend the times is precisely because they have received the same collage reinforcement as the "collage materials". This is also the biggest reason why the train monster can be easily torn apart like paper.
This also means that ordinary ammunition supply cannot bring out the maximum power of the Fiat. The most correct step to obtain "collage materials" is to first splice the vehicle carrying ammunition supplies onto the Fiat, and then perform N× collage to obtain enhanced attributes. And what’s even more amazing is that no matter when you are collaged with the Fiat number, as long as the collage is completed, you will automatically obtain the strongest 5+1 6× enhanced collage of the Fiat number at the moment. Like self-matching mechanical automation and self-extending robotic arm rails.
With a click, the Fiat sailed away from the Messina Cross-Sea Bridge.
The streetscape flows seamlessly into the Apennine peninsula.
Wu Chen subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. The Messina Cross-Sea Bridge in the distance was being dismantled like building blocks and flying into the air piece by piece.
"Mr. Commander, as you said, the battle royale industry has it all." Coco zoomed in on the camera and saw more terrifying details.
