Chapter 125: Bounty Order
After establishing a perimeter cordon, Lin Xi went on an adventure.
She suspended the production of all weapons and ammunition, readjusted the entire production line, and aggressively increased the production of various types of construction machinery vehicles, with a focus on excavation, felling and transportation equipment. For a whole day of the home planet, the firepower of Base 2 did not increase in the slightest, but there were nearly 20 more engineering vehicles.
Tractors used by fighters alone are mostly replaced by heavy carriers with a load of more than 50 tons, and only in exceptional cases are they needed.
The emergence of 4 excavators has made hand-held drilling rigs a thing of the past, and the excavation efficiency has directly doubled in the past. The only regret is that so far, only a small vein of iron ore has been found around the base, which has not been of much use. The base is not needed for base metals, but for a variety of non-ferrous and rare metals.
There are also 6 harvesters, which are three times more efficient than in the past, which can fully ensure the current supply of raw materials at the base, and there is still a considerable surplus.
The abundant raw materials allow the base to build more large-scale refining, separation and editing facilities. Finally, after 40 hours, the production capacity of Base 2 was increased by another 50%. Then restart the weapons production line.
The beast tide did not appear, and Lin Xi's adventure was more than half successful.
At this time, Chu Jungui's cracking progress on his own chip has exceeded 15%, his own processing power has become seven times that of the past, and the processing speed of the chip itself is also faster.
On the new research project, Chu Jungui hesitated between the large Alien version of the general editor and the advanced biomass element gunpowder, and finally chose the large Alien version of the general editor.
This editor is more efficient and can handle more materials, and no longer distinguishes between organic and inorganic matter. It is entirely a device within the purview of Level 4 agents, but each agent is on a different planet, obtains different data, and designs a completely different editor.
Therefore, Chu Jungui has no way to get a completed design drawing, and can only design a unique equipment by himself according to the existing accumulated data.
Chu Jungui faintly felt that the personalized design that appeared when he was a fourth-level agent was perhaps the most important feature of an agent. Only in this way can the agent better adapt to the alien environment and thus take root and survive.
The large Alien Editor required a full 30 hours of research time, and Chu Jungui was not in a hurry, and continued to help improve the construction and defense of the base.
The fifth-generation mechanical keyboard has proven its formidable firepower, but the shortcomings are also obvious. The low rate of fire magnifies the risk of control for ordinary fighters, and they don't have the perverted level of accuracy like Chu Jungui. An easy way to do this is to increase the number. The air defense towers can be divided into two or even three batches, and Chu Jungui can use the gap in the rate of fire to constantly switch, thereby greatly increasing the density of firepower.
Another approach is to study a machine gun that is somewhere between the fourth and fifth generations, striking a balance between power, range, and accuracy rate of fire. Such a weapon may seem mediocre, but it can be used by ordinary warriors. The fifth-generation mechanical keyboard was completely tailor-made by Chu Jungui for himself, except for his own use, it could only be installed on a fixed turret for use.
Chu Jungui has designed several generations of mechanical keyboards and has mastered a lot of data, so the new 4.5 generation mechanical keyboard is not difficult for him at all, he doesn't need a chip, he can rely on his own brain.
With the refinement of the design, the 4.5 generation mechanical keyboard has been divided into three types. One is a 30mm heavy machine gun with a conventional base mount, one is a 14mm full-featured assault rifle, and the third is a 30mm rapid-fire howitzer designed to provide close fire support in the field.
With these three individual weapons, the three generations of mechanical keyboards in the gun tower have all been replaced, so when the planetary night falls again, the firepower of Base 2 will be increased again, and there will be a preliminary 2-layer early warning and fire network.
Shadow Fortress, William looked at the order he had just received, his face gloomy.
Joseph walked over, one of his left hands still in a bandage, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
William handed the order to Joseph and said, "The Winton family has issued a bounty, and as long as there is news about Hathaway, you can get a good reward." ”
Joseph glanced at it and said, "That's a good thing, isn't it?
William crumpled the order into a ball of waste paper, accurately threw it into the waste paper 10 meters away, and said: "The Pirate Banner has just built two landing bases, and at present, they can only protect themselves, and they are far away. We are the only ones who have the ability to find Hathaway now. ”
Joseph frowned and said, "We tried, but the result was that we lost almost all of our mobile forces, and after three rounds of replenishment, our strength has just been restored." Do we want us to go again with the same force? Are we going to be so stupid as to run to our deaths?"
William said: "Of course we are not that stupid, the problem is that it is Looney Herman who gave this bounty order. ”
"Looney, the one known as the 'terrain leveler'?"
"That's right, it's him. He is a side branch of the Winton family, and his bloodline is very close to the main lineage. As for his deeds, I don't need to say more, you should know a lot. This time the Pirate Banner Legion was led by him, and I heard that he was only two places below Hathaway in the succession sequence of the Winton family, and was currently ranked fifth. ”
"Does it have anything to do with rankings? It's not the 18th century. The third and fifth have their own allocations, how much worse?" Joseph disagreed.
"It's almost bad, let alone a behemoth like Winton, you're the first in line, and of course I don't think it matters. ”
Joseph thought for a moment, "In other words, this Looney is likely to pretend to be searching and rescuing with all his might?"
"Not a possibility, but a certainty. He doesn't just do it, he does his best. After all, no one is stupid, and if you don't do your best, it's easy to be exposed. But it is very common for an accident to occur during the rescue. ”
"No matter what happens, as soon as Hathaway turns into a corpse, the main responsibility will fall on us, right?"
"Lack of help, this is inevitable. ”
Joseph shrugged, "What's that, no promotion for three years at most." ”
William said lightly: "It's a three-year freeze on seniority, it's not a simple refusal to be promoted. And there must be no mistakes in these three years, otherwise it will be extended by one year. ”
Joseph's face changed, "Frozen for three years? We were originally the youngest generals, and after three years, wouldn't many people catch up?"
"That's natural, and we're going to reap the hatred of many members of the Winton family. Don't forget, Hathaway is the strongest of all of Winton. She has far more suitors than supporters. William added.
