Chapter 62: Making "Weapons"

The big hat of "grass and human life" was buttoned down, and the already crowded venue added fuel to the fire. Some people joined in the denunciation of Bi Shengke, and the officers and sergeants of the rescue team all overwhelmingly supported Bi Shengke, and several young people who particularly admired Bi Shengke's kung fu spontaneously started a debate with those who denounced Bi Shengke.

"Be quiet, be quiet!" Wei Bozhi saw that the scene was a little out of control, and slapped the table hard, "Let Zhang Pan finish his words and then speak, what kind of noisy noise is like!" ”

The noisy voice slowly became quieter, Wei Bozhi looked at Bi Shengke and said, "Comrade Bi Shengke, now tell me your thoughts in detail!" ”

"My idea is very simple, it is to use the ancient cold weapon war to defend the city to strengthen the defense of the security zone." Zhang Pan no longer pretended to be mysterious, and directly clarified his thoughts.

"Tell me about it!" Wei Bozhi showed an interested expression, while the others also had different expressions, some suddenly realized, some thoughtful, and some still confused.

"Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, 'know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not lose a hundred battles', the mutant body is strong, the skin is thick and thick, not afraid of pain, the temperament is brutal, bloodthirsty, after these months of fighting with mutants, everyone should know the characteristics of mutants very well, I won't say more. I'm just going to talk about how mutants attack. The mutant's weapon is its body, its hands, feet, head, and even teeth can be used to attack, and its body is flexible and agile, if we use cold weapons in the general sense, such as broadswords and spears, of course it is not its opponent. However, if we only defend the base, we can play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and not fight hand-to-hand with mutants. In fact, our base is similar to the ancient city, with city gates, city towers, city walls, arrow towers, and battlements, and it is completely possible to copy the ancient methods of defending the city. Our firearms are equivalent to the bows and arrows of the ancients, and the Molotov cocktails are equivalent to the boiling oil and gold juice used by the ancients when defending the city. Speaking of this, Bi Shengke raised his right hand and stretched out four fingers, "First, these instruments can attack from a high position, only we can attack mutants, but mutants can't hurt us; Second, the lethal power is powerful, no matter how powerful the mutant is, it is also composed of carbohydrates, and it is smashed into meat sauce like hundreds of kilograms of metal plates; Thirdly, these things are also very simple to operate, as long as some pulley sets can be controlled; Fourth, these equipment are also very simple to make, and can be made by yourself using the tools and materials of the hotel engineering department. After a long speech, Bishengke's mouth was dry, and looking at the people who were a little dizzy from the passage, he finished his speech and sat down.

Even if you haven't seen the real thing, you have seen most of the ancient war movies and television dramas, and after listening to Bi Shengke's plan, most people can't help but start imagining the scene of these big guys dealing with mutants.

Wei Bozhi searched with his eyes, found Zhao Chen, the head of the engineering department and the foreman of the former hotel electrician class, who was sitting in the front row, and asked: "Director Zhao, you are an expert in this area, do you think this method is feasible?" ”

Zhao Chen thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "As far as the materials and manufacturing process are concerned, we may only need to use steel plates and pipes, cutting machines, electric welding machines and grinding wheel mills, so theoretically, we can make these things." As for how effective it is in actual combat, I am not a layman to comment. ”

"Then you can make a few samples first, and then decide after testing the effect!" Wu Yizhi, who had not spoken for a long time, said that the dominance of the meeting had always been controlled by the soldiers, and he was a little dissatisfied, and he wanted to compete for the right to speak at every opportunity, even if he was unsuccessful, he could show everyone his existence.

Wei Bozhi didn't care about the small actions of the deputy director of the management committee, maybe he was disdainful, he said in a flat tone: "Comrade Bi Shengke has made a good start, everyone has come to give advice and brainstorm!" Let's talk about it next! Any good suggestions?! ”

Bishengke's proposal opened up everyone's thinking, and all kinds of wonderful ideas emerged. Some people proposed to equip those militiamen with bows and crossbows, because before the PLA rescue team arrived, Wei Bozhi collected some bows and crossbows from an arms shop to withstand the attack of the mutants, which is why he became an instructor and had a certain prestige in the security zone, and now there are hundreds of bows and crossbows in the hotel; Some people proposed to add an additional shooting platform and arrow tower, so that the militia could throw gasoline bottles from it, after all, there is a height of nearly ten meters, even throwing a brick will have good lethality; Some people have proposed to install barbed wire at the top of the outer wall, and even electricity if necessary, although the mutant has thick skin and thick flesh, but it is not cast in copper and iron, and hundreds of volts of voltage can paralyze its heart...... Of course, not everyone's proposals are so reliable, at least some have proposed that the idea of using a gas canister as a flamethrower is fanciful.

The enlarged meeting lasted for more than two hours, and after a heated discussion, three points of consensus were finally reached on the basis of Bishengke's proposal: the first point was to install some ancient city defense equipment on the "city wall" to increase defense; The second point is to make some Molotov cocktails to test the effect, and if the effect is good, make it in large quantities; The third point is to equip the militia with projection cold weapons, mainly bows and crossbows, supplemented by spears, shields, broadswords, and flails. Although Battalion Commander H and Wu Yizhi were both dissatisfied, they had no way to oppose the opinions of the vast majority of people, so they had to accept this result.

After a night of silence, early the next morning, a vigorous "large-scale weapons production campaign" was first launched in the engineering department. As soon as Zhao Chen arrived at the engineering department at eight o'clock, he summoned several main technical personnel to start arranging work. Last night, through a few ancient war enthusiasts on the computer, Zhao Chen found a few pictures of wolf tooth slapping and yaksha beating, and after printing them out, he handed them over to Zhang Xiaofan, who had just turned 22 years old and was still a year away from graduating from Tsinghua University's mechanical major. As a mechanical student, mechanical drawing is the basic skill, and drawing structural drawings for these antiques from hundreds of years ago is not pediatric!

Because of the shortage of electricity and because he couldn't waste time, Zhang Xiaofan had to pick up the pencil again. Although I used computer software to make drawings for a long time, I didn't return all the things I learned to the teacher. I saw that he was flying like a pen, and after a while, the three-view structure of two ancient machines was well drawn. The next thing is the choice of materials, to do the wolf tooth paddle first need a large wooden board, there are a lot of Indonesian iron knife wood in the engineering department, Zhao Chen found a 150cm long, 80cm wide, five cm thick wenge wood board, all of which are spliced with heartwood, thick and strong, and it is very suitable for making wolf tooth paddles. Two 2mm steel plates of the same size as the wooden board are cut out with a cutting machine, and then fixed on the wooden board by drilling and riveting, and then the wooden board is edged with a 2cm angle iron to make an iron-clad plate like an ancient city gate. As for the material of the wolf's tooth nail, it is a 16mm diameter screwed steel bar, cut into a small section of 10cm long, one end is sharpened with a grinding wheel mill, and the other end is fixed on the steel plate with electric welding. At a distance of 10cm between each spike, a total of 78 wolf tooth spikes are neatly arranged on the steel plate, shining with cold light, looking at the people.

After the wolf tooth nail board was ready, Zhao Chen found two six-meter-long I-beams as the racket rod, and welded one on each of the nail plates, and the wolf tooth nail board was done. In the end, how to install it on the fence wall also made everyone very nervous. Zhang Xiaofan compared the diagram for a long time and drew several schematic diagrams before he solved this problem.

The specific method is to build a high platform that is more than four meters higher above the scaffolding behind the wall, the second half of the wolf's tooth racket rod is made of a connecting rod with a water pipe, the wolf's tooth racket is installed in the middle of the high platform by using the lever principle, a set of pulleys are installed on the top of the high platform, two wire ropes are tied to the front part of the wolf's tooth racket, and the wolf's tooth racket is pulled up high with a pulley. When a mutant tries to climb the wall, let go of the wire rope, and the wolf's tooth slap will slam down because of its top-heavy. Under the strong impact of speed and weight, even if the mutant is copper-skinned and iron-clad, it will become crushed.

It took more than three hours to finally complete the installation of a wolf tooth shoot by the gate, and Zhao Chen specially found a dummy model from the clothing store across the street to experiment. When the nail slapped down, only a violent cracking sound was heard, and the dummy was shattered. The onlookers were amazed and amazed, and they all agreed that it was a big killer against mutants.

When the engineering department was busy, the chemical team was not idle. The chemical group is a newly established department for the production of incendiary bottles, and is composed of several people who have worked in the chemical industry: Ni Feng, an otaku who has just graduated from university and came to Dongguan to play and speaks fluent Japanese; Zhou Gongbing, a tall and thin man with a pair of glasses and a hint of bookishness on his face, but who has ten years of grassroots work experience in chemical plants; After graduating from the refining and chemical industry, he mixed into Sinopec, a state-owned enterprise that absorbs people's fat and ointment, and Yang Yu, who is suspected of being an enemy. These three people formed the chemical and explosives department of the safety zone, and today's incendiary flasks are just a small test, and in the future, maybe they will still produce explosives by themselves.

The weather was fine and the light was abundant, and the three of them carried a bucket of gasoline and ten empty B-bottles of Budweiser beer to the lawn by the pool. Then they sat on the lawn and discussed whether to make an ignition type with cotton yarn and a spontaneous combustion type with white phosphorus to ignite the fire.

"There is no doubt that the ignition type is safer than the spontaneous combustion type." Zhou Gongbing took out an empty bottle from the beer crate and poured some gasoline from the oil drum into a large aluminum basin, which was used in the canteen to make noodles, about the size of a baby's bathtub. He first stirred the gasoline in the aluminum basin, then used a plastic funnel to fill the gasoline into the wine bottle, then filled the bottle with some sugar as an accelerant, and finally wrapped some cotton yarn around the mouth of the bottle. "At least the ignition type of Molotov cocktail accidentally falls on the ground and breaks, it will not catch fire, and the spontaneous combustion type needs to use white phosphorus as an ignition agent, white phosphorus has a low ignition point, it is easy to spontaneously combust, and it will catch fire if it is broken, and it will cause a fire if it is not done well."

"But it's not easy to use the ignition type." Yang Yu retorted that most people who work in technology are stubborn and insist that they are right. "If you happen to have no fire on your body when you want to use it, doesn't that mean you have a gun and no bullets? If Dong Cunrui's explosive bag was not ignited with a fire hose, but with a fuse, can you imagine if he hadn't brought a match with him at that time? ”

"Then the People's Liberation Army will have one less martyr and hero!" Ni Feng made such a joke.

Both were amused by Ni Feng's cold jokes, but Zhou Gongbing was not convinced. "The examples you give are isolated and extreme, and they are not comparable to ours. He is single-handed, we are herds; He was attacking in a hail of bullets, and his life was in danger at all times, while we were hiding behind the wall and defending, so we were completely at ease. Seeing that Yang Yu wanted to speak, Zhou Gongbing stretched out his right index finger and shook it to stop him from speaking, "And we are not the same as those soldiers who used Molotov cocktails in World War II, they are going to attack hard targets such as tanks, as long as they smash the bottle hard into the engine shell of the tank, the task will be completed." And although the skin of mutants is harder than that of normal people, it is not a stone in the end, and can only be regarded as a soft target. I don't think a beer bottle would necessarily shatter if it hits its body, in which case the Molotov cocktail won't work, and it probably feels like being hit by a brick. If it is a lit Molotov cocktail, the effect is different, even if it can't burn mutants, it can still play a deterrent role. These words were clear and well-argued, so that Yang Yu couldn't find a reason to refute for a while, although he didn't admit defeat, he was just a dead duck.

When the opinions are agreed, then the official start will begin. Ni Feng called the human resources department to ask for an assistant, and Su Weiwei sent six young and beautiful beauties empatheticly, which greatly stimulated the work enthusiasm of several male creatures. At this point, men are all the same, whether they are otaku or rank enemies. Throughout the day, the "chemists" of the three small universes were very busy, from time to time to show off their "profound" knowledge of chemistry in order to win the adoring eyes of the beautiful girls; Or teach the pretty girl to make a Molotov cocktail, take the opportunity to touch the beautiful girl's little hands, and eat a lot of tender and smooth "tofu". By the end of the afternoon, the task was overfulfilled, and a total of more than 700 Molotov cocktails were made, which once again proved that "men and women match, work without getting tired" is an unbreakable truth.
