Chapter 53: Coming Soon
At the end of the battle, Lin Xi cleaned up the battlefield as usual while taking stock of the gains and losses. This battle seemed to be an easy victory, but in fact, the victory was based on the large number of mines she had laid and Chu Jungui's frantic strafing. Although this base looks rudimentary, in fact, its defense is no worse than that of a small military stronghold.
In the whole battle, Lin Xi laid a total of more than 300 mines of all kinds were triggered by 70%, and it was by relying on the sea of mines that he wiped out the entire Thornback Beast Group in one fell swoop, and killed nearly half of the alien beast group, as well as the entire sneak attack force.
Chu Jungui said that the results of the battle were much worse, he kept shooting, but he only wiped out the small half-alien beast group, as well as all the strange birds. Now Lin Xi named these strange birds the winged beasts to distinguish them.
It is a pity that Chu Jungui was unable to capture the messenger alive, otherwise he would probably be able to ask a lot of things from it.
The price of these results was that Chu Jungui emptied a total of 12 magazines, and his ammunition reserves were instantly reduced by half. Lin Xi still has a lot of sniper bullets on hand, so he doesn't have to worry about supply for the time being.
At this moment, in the distant valley, the number of stone platforms has increased by nearly a hundred, and the black shadow in the center seems to be even larger, so that although there are many flickering points of light, they appear sparse.
Most of the stone platforms were focused on the battle of that fortress, and the fierce fighting seemed to be endless, but the result of the continuous onslaught did not uplift the fortress, but made the fortress bigger and bigger.
A mobile fortress-style base has rushed through the beast tide, setting up a satellite base two kilometers from the fortress. The stronghold is within the range of the fortress's artillery fire, and under this cover, various buildings inside the stronghold are rapidly rising from the ground. The firepower of the stronghold itself was also very fierce, and it withstood the attack of the beast tide stubbornly.
The two transports broke through the ion storm layer one after the other and landed inside the fortress. A large number of soldiers and equipment poured out of the transport ship, and at the same time, a large number of construction machinery appeared in the fortress, which directly dismantled the transport ship and used it as supplementary supplies. It seems that the Federation has also increased its support for the fortress.
In the valley, the black shadow had been attacking the fortress according to its usual rhythm, and suddenly it reached out with a vague huge claw, and with one claw, it scooped up nearly a hundred stone platforms, all of which smashed on the satellite stronghold.
After a while, there was more and more beast tide around the satellite stronghold, and the offensive became more and more fierce, even if the base was desperately covered with artillery fire. As a section of the outer wall of the colony collapsed, countless war beasts poured into the colony, leveling the satellite in the blink of an eye. The nearly 1,000 warriors stationed in the stronghold were reduced to food for the beast tide.
After razing the satellite stronghold, the beast tide and the base fell into a state of stalemate again.
At this moment, a messenger flew around the shadow several times, and finally managed to attract its attention. The courier flies back to his platform and jumps to an adjacent platform. On that stone platform, what was shown was Chu Jungui's small base and the beast troops that were ready to go.
The picture stands still and never moves again.
The shadow made a muffled voice, "No...... Come back?"
The messenger says it does.
A few glances from the black shadow swept to the left and near, but found that most of the stone platforms around it were empty, and those who originally had troops had just been fished out by it and thrown into the attack on the satellite stronghold. At this moment, there are only two stone platforms that are still lit.
The black shadow had no choice, picked up the light and shadow of the two stone platforms, and threw them on Chu Jungui's side, and then stared at the messenger with a gaze.
The messenger accepted a new mission, soared into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
In the base, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi each dragged four strange beasts back and threw them on the beast pile that had been piled high. Chu Jun returned to see that an organic matter detector had completed the analysis, so he picked up a roll of animal skins and stuffed it in.
Lin Xi gasped slightly and said, "This won't work, we have to make some tools." ”
"Definitely. Chu Jungui deeply felt the same way, half of his armor auxiliary power was damaged, and it was even more difficult to move things than Lin Xi.
And in the distance, there were four giant rhinoceros beasts like hills lying there, and they couldn't carry them.
Chu Jungui sorted out the current work and drew up a priority. He first built two small polymer batteries, then built a hand-held drill rig and a hand-held chainsaw out of a workbench.
The ability of drilling rigs to drill holes and crush gravel in the ground is indispensable for forest mines. In addition to cutting wood, chainsaws can also be used to cut corpses.
Of course, having these two tools is not the same as entering mechanization, but it can allow two people to reach the level of manual operation to the extreme.
After looking at all the means of transportation, Chu Jungui felt not very satisfied, so on the one hand, he handed over the chip design, and on the other hand, he chose the simplest design drawing and modified it manually.
The wheeled structure has proven itself superior on countless planets, second only to towed platforms that use anti-gravity engines. Chu Jungui couldn't build an anti-gravity engine yet, so he honestly returned to the wheeled structure.
Chu Jungui chose the design of each single wheel with its own drive structure, and in the case of the drive structure using the simplest motor drive, the workbench can manufacture a set of single-wheel structure at one time.
Then Chu Jungui chose a simple steering and shock absorption device, coupled with the connection structure, which was covered with wooden planks, which was the simplest self-propelled transport vehicle.
However, the tire material is a little troublesome, Chu Jungui still has to build an organic editor first, and then use animal skin as a raw material to make tires with better performance than rubber.
Now that we have plenty of materials on hand, it's only a matter of time before the organic editor is available. It didn't take long for a washer-like editor to be added to the work area outside the cockpit.
Chu Jungui inputs the detection data of the alien animal skin into the editor, and then enters the required performance, and the editor automatically gives several alternative schemes. Now that he had enough animal skins at hand, Chu Jungui chose the fastest plan and then launched the editor.
Rolls of hides are swallowed by the editor, and a new piece of material appears on the virtual display.
Chu Jungui did not wait, but nailed a few wooden frames, put the axles he had just made, and then welded the front and rear axles together with alloy profiles.
Chu Jungui then installed additional shock absorbers at both ends of the axle, and then installed the self-driving wheel structure made by the workbench. After the four-wheel structure is installed, there is a prototype of the chassis.
At this time, the editor had already completed the first batch of products, Chu Jungui took a piece of dusty material and threw it into the workbench, and a moment later, an off-road tire came out.
Chu Jungui held the tires, and one of them was mounted on the wheel hoops, although there were still many parts missing, but the general appearance had already come out.
The two of them are going to say goodbye to the life of pushing, pulling and dragging, and they will be able to drive immediately.
