Chapter 220: Discover New Resources
After He Hao completely wiped out the other party's members, he looked for the energy crystallization beads in the flesh of the zombies again. Thanks to his survey vision, picking is quick and easy, and nothing is missed.
Nearly 100 high-level zombies produced 120g of crystals, and after He Hao absorbed most of them, the energy of the robotic arm recovered by 12.15%. After that, he left another 20g as a strategic reserve to stay in case of emergency.
The rest of the work was to search for the corpses of that team.
4 pistols of the 4.45mm class. One of them is a bomb booster model. Except for the increase in ammunition capacity, there is nothing unusual.
5 pistols of the 5.56mm category. Three of them are short-range models that can replace armor-piercing shells. Although the range is low, it is more lethal. The other 2 are shotguns. Burst 3 shots. In close combat, it has more powerful firepower.
In addition to the pistol, 1 Twilight Rush Gun and 1 Vintage Sniper Rifle were also obtained.
The sniper rifle is the same as the puff, with a medium range and slightly lower accuracy. It is a defective model among sniper rifles. Unless the user is excellent at shooting, it will not be effective.
The Twilight Rush Gun is a boutique model of miniature submachine guns, with large ammunition capacity and strong stability. No more advantages.
As for the bullets, there were more than 70 rounds in total.
In fact, the Brilliant Base has reached the level of equipping people with one gun, and there is no need for He Hao to continue to seize these weapons. But he took into account that the automatic production line has a breakdown; Remodel; production capacity, so these non-model weapons still have a collection value - to make the variety of weapons in the base more abundant.
The food that this team carries is protein blocks. Like this tasteless food, He Hao did not take it. But the biggest gain is an ID card with a tin chip. This is a proof of identity that only has reached the intermediate team.
With this ID card. He Hao can take the identity of the deceased and enter the distribution city of the Daybreak Base!
"Cheng Borui. Intermediate team in the line of fire. There are 12 people in total. Blue Alert Clearance. After He Hao wrote down this new identity, he put this important ID card into the inner pocket of Motu's long coat.
As for the supplies in the supermarket, there is nothing left, except for moldy and spoiled fruit and meat. It's just a broken tool and garbage everywhere. The survivors who often come here to collect supplies did not even leave a roll of paper behind......
A fierce battle consumed a lot of physical strength from He Hao, coupled with the damage of the vehicle's heavy machine gun and the consumption of high-explosive grenades, so he had no idea of continuing to hunt zombies.
Two trailer slings were found among the scrapped vehicles on the block, and two vans loaded with ore were tandem to the rear of the armored vehicle, and then left Liuzhuang and returned to the Brilliant Base......
Because of the heavy load, when the armored car returned, it was already close to dusk. It happened to meet the old king head who was returning from procurement. After the fully loaded convoy drove back to the base, everyone was already eating dinner in front of the campfire.
Lao Jiu saw that the armored car was covered with blood, and only Xia Xue herself was left among the toothpicks accompanying him. And her face was extremely ugly, so she came to He Hao's side and whispered: "What happened!" Did you encounter a group of corpses or the military? Why is Xia Xue herself left, what about the toothpicks? He's dead? ”
The series of questions made He Hao too lazy to answer them one by one. He responded: "It's a long story, but it's okay." I mortgaged them. If you're lucky, you'll be able to come back tomorrow. ”
Not to mention Lao Jiu, even the obedient bystanders around him were stunned, He Hao actually mortgaged them? It's hard to believe. Out of awe of He Hao, everyone didn't dare to ask again.
Watching Xia Xue alone, sitting in the corner of the tent with her legs crossed and wiping her tears, is indeed a little worrying.
But He Hao didn't care about that—he couldn't care about it.
"Old man, how are the supplies going?" He Hao asked with a straight call at the old king's head.
The old king pulled the instant meal in his hand and replied vaguely: "I have bought all the things I wanted." There is nothing left to spend the money. ”
"Good." He Hao nodded approvingly, thinking that this old man's ability to do things was indeed possible. In this way, greenhouses can be built and food can be grown without soil. Not only that, but half of the R&D resource needs of "Super Era Technology" have been met, and the rest is energy crystallization.
Hao Mei on the side took the initiative to say: "The defensive fence of the base has been repaired and reinforced. A number of wooden ramparts were built outside the fence. It can form a perimeter defense line, which can effectively slow down the movement of enemies and zombies, and can even lead a part of it to the gate. Hao Mei said, then pointed to a newly built watchtower and said, "The second watchtower has also been built." Each tower can accommodate 3 people. Condescendingly, it can form an angle of observation and firepower. Superior ability to defend against zombies. ”
He Hao followed Hao Mei's guidance, although it was almost dusk and his vision became not very clear, but after the survey. He could still see the full view of the watchtower—
The overall height of the watchtower is 4 meters. The balcony is 2 meters above the ground. It is supported diagonally by 4 logs, and each log is held in place by X-shaped timber and steel bars. Make him incredibly reliable. The ladder leading to the platform was not built, only a soft ladder woven of rattan was left for people to climb. Once the garrison personnel are in place, the soft ladder is collected. Then it is difficult for not only zombies, but also humans to attack it.
The only drawback is that it is very poorly defended, and the wooden bunker is difficult to defend against bullets. If you add steel plate auxiliary protection, its ability to resist enemies can be qualitatively changed.
"Two watchtowers......" He Hao muttered not very satisfied, he felt that the number of watchtowers was too small. At least 6 base fences are required in the shape of a convex zigzag. In order to form a lookout without surveillance blind spots.
Hao Mei noticed that He Hao was not very satisfied, and hurriedly said: "The high-intensity workload of one day and one night has made the students a little unbearable. I can build 2 seats. It's not easy, and I hope you give everyone more time, Chief......"
"I know. I don't mean to accuse you, don't think too much. He Hao said to soothe the panicked crowd.
This made them breathe a sigh of relief, and felt that He Hao was not so unkind......
Tan Tan then reported: "The land has been cleared, and when the land is irrigated with water tomorrow, wheat and corn can be planted." Then the well-behaved girl pointed to the area enclosed by branches under the fence and said, "The bread tree has been planted in the soil." It belongs to the long-term preparation of food. I will pay more attention to it when I am growing up. ”
"How about growing vegetables in the wetlands?" He Hao is very concerned about this food with a short growth cycle.
"It's all done. After about 4 months, you can harvest a lot of tomatoes and peppers. Tan Tan's answer made He Hao nod. It seems that the planting is on track, and in half a year, the brilliant base will usher in the first season of food harvest......
As the saying goes, there are joys and sorrows, and nothing is smooth sailing. Professor Chan reported on a worrying problem – the increasing pollution of water sources.
After the nuclear winter of the black winter, a large amount of radioactive materials has been replaced by the ecology of nature, and the pollution has changed from regional pollution to national pollution. The levels of radioactivity and bacteria detected in the two water sources on Tenglong Mountain are getting higher and higher. Even chemical distillation is not sufficient for purification.
So, higher-end equipment has to work. Then the solution of the energy problem is imminent. He Hao has already prepared a plan to seize the cable with the Bear Kids Gang tomorrow. If nothing else, within 3 days, this fatal problem can be solved.
In short, the construction of the base in all aspects is being carried out in an orderly manner.
Just as everyone was about to finish their meal, He Hao suddenly remembered the matter of the ore. He called Professor Chen alone to accompany him to identify what the ore was.
Professor Chen's expression changed abruptly after looking at the two truckloads full of ore.
One of the ores is light yellow in color and has a soft texture, and when you rub it by hand, a large amount of fine powder will be scattered. Professor Chan held it in front of his nose and sniffed it. Then he pointed excitedly and said, "Brimstone! It's brimstone! ”
He Hao didn't know what there was to be excited about the sulfur, so he raised his head and asked, "What about the other car?" ”
Professor Chen took out a piece of each hand and looked through it carefully—another type of ore was a colorless crystal. Although there are a lot of impurities such as dirt inside, the color is bright. Moreover, the appearance is slippery and contains moisture.
"Saltpeter! I'm sure it's absolutely saltpeter! Professor Chen's face turned red with excitement.
"Brimstone? Saltpeter? He Hao muttered to himself, and then asked, "Do these two ores have any special use?" ”
Professor Chen touched the two carts of ore like a pet and said, "These two things are crushed and ground, mixed with charcoal, and after a little processing, it is gunpowder!" ”
"Gunpowder!" When He Hao heard this word, he was like thunder! What it means in the last days is self-evident. For an individual or a small team, it is not as good as food and medicine. But for large groups or the military with production capacity, it will become a ghost card!
"Chief! You got it from there! Professor Chen knew that the ore had not been completely dried, and that there was a lot of moisture from the groundwater, which was definitely mined on the same day, which meant that it came from the mine. Depending on how large the ore is scattered. The mineral content in the mine is definitely not low!
"I really don't know, but I heard that there is a cave in the mountain head south of Liuzhuang." He Hao said unconvinced, he was not yet convinced of a stranger's words.
Professor Chen based on the geographical location of Yangchun City, plus the natural environment. It is believed that minerals such as sulfur and saltpeter are indeed produced in the surrounding area, and it seems that this news is still credible.
"You said that since there are precious minerals, the military will not take over the management. So what qualifies a small mid-level team to get these? He Hao questioned.
"Private mining!" Professor Chen's answer opened up He Hao's thinking.
Indeed, China is a vast land, and in some places there are indeed some local villagers who privately mine stones for profit. If Cheng Borui was a native of Liuzhuang, then he would have heard of local private mining.
"I see." He Hao said to himself excitedly. If this is really the case, then the private mining vein will be the capital guarantee for him to base himself on Tenglong Mountain and devour other independent bases!
"Do you know how to make gunpowder?" He Hao asked.
"It's easy, but it takes a little longer, after all, you still need to burn charcoal and grind and purify the mineral powder." Professor Chan replied.
"Can't wait." He Hao suddenly remembered that there was a device called "Free Disintegrator" in the underground base. It can decompose and purify complex substances. Maybe you can try using it to break down the ore and refine pure sulfur powder and saltpeter powder.
Thinking of this, He Hao said with a wave of his hand: "Everyone assemble and split the vehicle!" ”
The assembled people, according to the command of the old king. With a pickaxe and a logging axe, the two dilapidated vans were dismantled. After leaving some parts such as the engine behind, all the remaining metal fragments and ores were successively loaded into the constellation storage by He Hao, and then went to the engineering exchange station in the underground base......
Sure enough, with the assistance of the Transition Crow-
A large amount of ore was turned into pure sulfur powder and saltpeter powder, and the remains of the car body were turned into steel ingots. After loading these raw materials, they are transported to the energy station. The reserved 20g energy crystal beads are placed into it to supply energy to the production workshop. Then I went to the terminal warehouse and took with me a large amount of wood collected from the previous trip.
By the time I was done, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning. The sleepy He Hao couldn't take care of his exhaustion. He was eager to witness the production of this batch of munitions.
Raven dismantles the 4.45mm and 5.56mm pistols that Howe collected during the day. The overall advantages have designed a new type of pistol that is not available in the outside world - 9mmT.
9mmT semi-automatic pistol, abbreviated as 9T. The whole body is made of steel and has a pale gray color. The shape is simple and not fancy. The internal parts are precise and high-quality. The chamber of the 9T was particularly long, and the rifling was evenly tight. Compared to the styling of an ordinary pistol, it appears to be extraordinarily large, with a full length of the barrel. As a result, the firing range is long, the stability is strong, but the recoil is extremely high. It's hard for women to hold it alone.
The horror of the 9T is that the bullet used is a special armor-piercing steel bullet with a 9.00mm bullet. The effective firing range is up to 400 meters, and the armor-piercing range is 150 meters.
The magazine is a double-row bullet. A total of 24 rounds are available. Reduce the number of reloads and make your combat more durable.
Moreover, the 9T is equipped with a switchable gun body safety, which can be switched from a single shot to 3 shotguns. This makes the 9T nightmarish lethal when fighting at close quarters. Compared to the world's most famous 'Desert Eagle', if it has a risk factor of 5. Then 9T is a perfect score of 10!
With the 9T pistol flashing a metallic color after it was produced. A matching 9mm armor-piercing steel bullet was also produced.
The ethereal sound of work has not subsided for a long time, and the production materials have been invested unprecedentedly. He Hao looked at the piled up ammunition, a little incredulous, and when he asked how many munitions could be produced this time, the raven gave him an accurate answer-
9mmT pistols: 27 pcs.
9mm Armor-Piercing Steel Bullet: 26,140 rounds.
This ammunition ate all of He Hao's steel, wood, and ore reserves. But the value is extraordinary!
Because there are currently conventional weapons as support, He Hao does not plan to put this batch of killing weapons into use, after all, it cannot be controlled by ordinary people, and once it is confiscated again, it will pose a certain threat to himself.
Therefore, this batch of arms was transported by He Hao to the terminal warehouse and hoarded.
"With so much ammunition to support, shouldn't I also develop my own soldiers......" He Hao thought wistfully along the way.
It's a bit of a business to go out today, it's late. But it's also a 4000-word base~
