Chapter 652 North Sea Oilfield
The North Sea is a sea area located between England and Nordic countries, with a size of about the same as that of England.
This was once an important fishery resource source in Europe, one of the world's four largest fishing grounds, and also an important oil and natural gas resource source in Europe and the ninth largest oil field in the world.
In the past, the North Sea undoubtedly had a very important position and value to Europe. The fishery resources, oil and natural gas resources it produces have very important significance to Europe, and it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as one of the pillars of the European economy.
The vast majority of this sea area is about 100 meters deep, and it is also one of the world's famous shallow seas, which also makes it very difficult to exploit the marine resources under the sea in the North Sea.
So before the disaster, the oil and natural gas resources in this sea area were divided up by neighboring countries, and a large number of oil and natural gas extraction platforms were built after World War II.
However, when the disaster came, all the mining platforms here were shut down and everyone was removed. In the subsequent disasters, most of the mining platforms were swallowed up by rising sea levels, and some were damaged by various disasters.
This also led to almost no one found when the first industrial ship that had been manufactured arrived in this sea area and searched for the mining platform according to the map given by the English.
"It seems that the situation is worse than expected!" On the bridge of the escort ship, Chen Xin raised his telescope and looked at a drilling platform outside that was almost completely frozen on the ice, and couldn't help but sigh.
Because he wanted to ensure his safety, when Chen Xin proposed to come to the Beihai side with the industrial ship to complete the mission of opening up the sub-base, the guard land cruising ship naturally followed. The captain and the political cadres who followed Chen Xin also forced him to stay on the guard land cruising ship, rather than on the industrial ship as he hoped.
This made Chen Xin feel helpless and funny, but also deeply felt the country's attention to him, so he did not insist on saying anything like "no need for the protection of the frigate", but stayed on the frigate in a very good manner.
As for whether there is a suspicion of wasting combat power when dispatching land escort ships and industrial ships to the North Sea together, this is not a problem.
On the one hand, this escort land cruising ship was specially sent to Europe to protect Chen Xincai. Wherever Chen Xin is, the frigate should be where to ensure his safety. Naturally, there is no problem of waste.
On the other hand, frigates can also protect industrial ships by acting together with industrial ships.
After all, industrial ships are logistics units and have no combat effectiveness. In today's European situation, the protection of frigates can greatly improve safety.
Although Chen Xin installed defensive weapons such as machine guns on the industrial ships in order to improve the survivability of industrial ships and to deal with some possible emergencies.
But after all, it is not a professional counterpart combat unit. These weapons only play a role in self-defense. You can take it off when necessary and gain time to let the industrial ships take off and escape.
Although no traces of alien creatures have been found in the Beihai so far, no one can guarantee that these alien creatures that are comparable to cockroaches have no traces of existence elsewhere.
After all, seeing one person means having a nest of guys, no one dares to promise that there is no one.
Especially in Europe, there are also flying units in addition to land units. No one dares to say that no alien creature's flying unit has broken through the defense line.
What's more, now it's just Europe that blocks alien creatures, and Africa... I'm afraid the African continent has become a playground for alien creatures, right?
Chen Xin felt the vibration caused by the landing ship landing and shook his head helplessly.
Humans really have no advantage over alien creatures now. Although the Yan Kingdom and Lucia have joined forces in Asia to stabilize the situation, and the scale of alien creature invasion is not large, the situation between the two countries is quite reasonable and they have spare time to support the European battlefield, the situation in Europe is not optimistic.
The countries obviously did not work together, but each had their own plans.
The countries ahead may not have time to think about it under the pressure of survival, but in the face of huge casualties, it is still an unknown number to see whether they will retreat.
The countries responsible for the production and supply in the latter part also have their own plans. Everyone knows how the Federation started its business through two wars. Now it is its turn. Can't it take this opportunity to rise?
Germany has such ideas, but other countries may not have them.
Even the two countries can really work together?
Even if we put aside these problems, whether humans can really gather all their strength, work together to face crises and difficulties, and gather the forces of various countries to fight against the invasion of alien creatures, is still between the two possible reasons.
Now the only two parts of human territory remain in the Eurasian continent. Because the American continent was the direct position of the meteorite impact, the strongest military force of the Blue Star no longer exists.
The African continent has no power to fight against the invasion of alien creatures at all. Chen Xin even doubts whether they could withstand natural disasters at the beginning. Now the African continent can almost be considered completely occupied by alien creatures.
Under such circumstances, with the reproduction rate of alien creatures, humans are really not sure to completely eliminate them.
Of course, the situation is not as pessimistic as it needs to be.
With human tenacity, such a disaster of global destruction cannot extinct human civilization. What can alien invasion be considered?
This is just another test faced by human beings.
Perhaps many people will die and sacrifice, but just like those who were killed in disasters before, they may be eliminated, but those who survive will not give up hope.
As long as we are still alive, human beings will not stop moving forward.
As long as you keep moving forward, new paths will be continuously created.
Moreover, for humans, the system that Chen Xin masters is a trump card and advantage with great potential.
As long as we can continuously upgrade and enhance human war potential, so that humans can persist in this war against alien creatures, continuously expand productivity and accumulate advantages, then in the end, when humans defeat alien creatures, they will open up a new chapter in the development of human civilization.
Chen Xin has reason to believe that it will be a new era for humans to step into the sea of stars.
