Chapter 43: The Birth of an Artifact
“…… That, as the leader, am I going to have the full strength to make a decision? I asked tentatively.
"No," said my cousin immediately, "according to the custom of national technology, you only have one veto!" ”
If I want to use the veto power to veto the four of them, it must be a trick, can I be capricious? Of course not! Is it possible to make a personal gain if you have all? Of course, I can't, but, at least I can drive Mr. Xia's Mercedes-Benz Big G into the playground on Monday's Diss mud closing day, I think this matter is already very good!
As the saying goes, Mrs. Qiu Guo accepted the grace of the lord and rode into the palace gate in Pingming.
"Four to four, I think this matter will be discussed in the long run," the cousin stretched, "Or, break the meeting?" ”
"Break up, I'm sleepy." Lian Ye got up directly and went back to the restaurant, and took Dongdong away by the way.
"I'm sorry, brother!" Qian Dazhuang said with a smile and took Qian Duoduo away.
"Brother!" Xiaoxiao was coquettish at me, "I don't want to get scurvy!" ”
"Don't worry, it won't," Su Lingge said coldly, "I didn't tell them just now that there are VC tablets in pharmacies, which can replace fruits and vegetables." ”
"Actually, it's not VC's problem, you know what I mean." I say.
Su Lingge nodded: "Well, I understand what you mean, go to bed early, many things, let it be, it will come naturally, and in a few days, they will naturally agree." ”
That's the truth.
Su Lingge and Xiaoxiao also entered, and in the temporary "conference room", only my brother was left, infinitely lonely.
I dragged a chair to the battlement of the city wall, by the moonlight, I could see a lot of zombies in the playground in the activity, directly below me, there was a second-order zombie, a white-collar worker in a suit, looking quite energetic, it had tried to climb the wall several times before, but it was unsuccessful, and at the moment it was below, tilting its head, staring at me, probably waiting for me to take the initiative to let him bite.
I took a dyeing flask, pulled out the strip of cloth, poured the gasoline inside, and bathed the second-order zombie, it didn't move, but when I took out the lighter, it saw that I was going to do it, and it turned around and ran!
As I deduced, second-order zombies possess intelligence, and sooner or later, they will think of a way to climb the walls and enter the castle.
But at least tonight, they shouldn't be able to get in.
While smoking, I thought, in the case of a power outage, where will be a more suitable place than a castle, not only to consider safety factors, but also to consider survival factors, just now Xiaoxiao mentioned the countryside, I think it is not very reliable, even if there are fruits and vegetables in the countryside, even if there is a vast strategic detour space, but there is no defense, if the zombies invade in the middle of the night, where can we hide? Climb on the roof? We can go up, and so can the zombies.
There has to be a place that meets the following conditions at the same time.
First, there are facilities to protect zombies around, and zombies can't get in without anyone defending them.
Second, the place should have a sufficient land area, fruit trees, vegetable gardens (staple food is not needed, this can be grabbed, rice and flour oil have a long shelf life, of course, it would be better if there is arable land), and be self-sufficient.
Third, it is better to have a separate power generation system, electricity is the most important and convenient energy source for us modern people, and it is certainly no fun to connect to the urban power grid, but we may be able to use natural resources such as wind power and solar energy to maintain the normal operation of the power system.
Fourth, the density of survivors should not be too large, otherwise, the resources are insufficient, disputes are prone to occur, and the battle between the survivors is more brutal than the battle with zombies - this is Cai Mingming's famous sentence before his death, when he said it to me, I didn't take it seriously, and in the past two days, I have a little preliminary understanding of its true meaning.
Where to find such a good place?
I thought about the night sky for a long time, and I didn't think of the right one, no, I still have to find a map to study, my cousin's map is a hotel tourism map of Fairy Tale City, the limitations are too great, and the version is very old, many places are different from reality, and I have to make a new version of a larger range.
Thinking about it, I was a little sleepy, and finally patrolled around the city wall, and after confirming that the second-order zombies could not be attacked, I went back to my room, washed briefly, and prepared to rest.
Two new members were added, and the private room was not enough, so as a man, I had to sleep in the restaurant with Da Zhuang.
In the hot summer, it was very hot, I couldn't sleep, I chatted with Da Zhuang, he was in a good mood, he didn't know that his daughter was ruined by Li Lei, I was the only one who knew about it, and I also planned to bury this secret in the ruins of the city forever.
When two men chat, they won't gossip like girls, they mainly talk about common hobbies, cars, Zhengzhi, Junshi, and when it comes to the five instruments, I began to discuss with Qian Dazhuang, what kind of five instruments are more suitable for dealing with zombies?
In fact, L is not a very good weapon, it is okay to use L to deal with ordinary zombies, but if you deal with second-order zombies, because their speed is too fast, sometimes you can use L to aim, you can't keep up with them, and if you can't hit it all at once, it will be easy to be close to zombies, which will be a disaster, so for long-term peace and stability, you must also study melee weapons.
Previously, we have come to a preliminary conclusion: for fighting zombies, blunt weapons > the role of sharp weapons, wrenches, hammers, baseball bats, etc. are very useful, but swords are not.
"I still think that it shouldn't be so absolute," Qian Dazhuang chatted about the rise, got up and used his mobile phone to illuminate, and found paper and pen, "Our ancestors have eighteen kinds of ice weapons, knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, grabs, hammers, sticks, lances, sticks, crutches, meteors, so many five weapons, not only hammers and sticks can fight zombies, right?" ”
As he spoke, he wrote down all the eighteen ice vessels, and he couldn't write in pinyin.
"The Meteor Hammer is definitely fine," I pointed to the last one, "I've seen a traditional martial artist perform on the Internet, stretching freely, throwing out the hammer head, and hitting the watermelon with a hammer, but that thing requires too much skill, if it is not good, it doesn't fight the zombies, and my skull will be opened first." ”
Qian Dazhuang nodded: "That's true, swords, guns and swords...... What about halberds? The kind that Lu Bu used, can it be used to cut off the heads of zombies? It just so happens that we have horses, and maybe, we should develop some long ice machines! ”
I thought for a moment: "It seems like it's okay, let's circle it first." ”
Qian Dazhuang drew a circle on the "halberd": "The axe is also fine, the blade can cut zombies, and the back can smash the head!" ”
"If the axe and the axe are made into ice growers, they are too heavy." I say.
"That's right, whip and hammer...... Doesn't that how you write it? I only know that there is such a thing, I don't know what it looks like. ”
"It's similar to a fork, Yuwen Chengdu in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties used a hammer, a phoenix winged gold hammer," I recalled, "This thing looks good at fighting zombies, with a large cross-sectional area, you can directly poke the zombie's throat, and if the strength is strong enough, you can directly poke its head off - a bit like the shovel of the sand monk." ”
Qian Dazhuang nodded, asked me to draw a simple diagram, and circled it.
Continue to go down, lance, this knows, the advanced version of the spear, Cao Mengde Heng Lance Fu poem.
We have all used sticks, the power is limited, it is a Buddhist ice weapon, the emphasis is on restraint, not killing, but we want to kill.
The abductor is a defensive weapon and is not under discussion.
Synthesizing the characteristics of the various five instruments circled, Qian Dazhuang and I spent another hour to design a new five-instrument, long wooden handle, convenient for cavalry combat use, in front of the wooden handle, install a knife blade about half a meter long, double-sided blade, can be used to chop, the most front, is the shape of a crescent, about ten centimeters wide, the blade, can be used to poke the throat of the zombie, if the force is big enough, it should be able to directly poke the zombie's vertebrae.
This kind of long ice weapon is not suitable for assassination, and it is difficult to cause penetrating damage (penetrating injuries have no meaning to zombies), only two effective attack actions of chopping and shoveling, and the attack parts are all at the neck of the zombie.
The reason why I gave up the attack method of hammering the zombie skull is entirely because there are too many female generals, and the five weapons of the hammer are too heavy (light and useless), which is not suitable for them.
The design weight of the five instruments should not exceed five catties, otherwise it is not flexible to use, I have taken the real hand knife of the Qing Dynasty guard, and it weighs 2 or 3 catties, but it is already quite laborious.
"What should this thing be called?" Qian Dazhuang asked.
"It's called Modao! Anyway, no one knows what the Mo knife looks like. "I said, the Mo knife is a famous long weapon in the Tang Dynasty, a knife down, people and horses are broken, so far there are no unearthed cultural relics.
"Go to sleep, try it tomorrow and see if you can make it." I said that when I went to the factory area to investigate, I found that there were machines for processing hardware, and it didn't matter if there was a power outage, most of the factories had spare three-phase electric diesel-electric engines, but unfortunately they were too big to be transported to the castle.
When I woke up the next morning, my cousin and I made a suggestion to make five instruments, and she agreed, and when it was noon, my cousin and Lianye took off to cover and attract away the zombies, and Qian Dazhuang and I infiltrated the factory area and found a workshop that could process metal, and the diesel generator could be used, but the machine tool was numerical control, which was more difficult to do, including my cousin, and no one had done it.
It wasn't until more than two o'clock in the afternoon that we finally learned simple metal processing, made of high-hardness aluminum alloy materials, scrapped three pieces, the fourth, and finally made a finished product......
