Chapter 88: Unexpected Visitors
After dozens of Federation fighters joined, ten workbenches were clearly not enough. Lin Xi simply expanded his production capacity again and built twenty new Alien Advanced Workbenches in one go. In the end, there was still a surplus of one workbench per person.
With the workbench, the number of separators and editors of various alien versions has also increased by tens or hundreds, and as for the refining furnace, a hundred have been built in one go.
After experiencing the battle of life and death, not only Chu Jungui, but Lin Xi also seemed to suffer from a phobia of insufficient firepower, and she also had a symptom of a phobia of insufficient productivity.
In order to feed these 100 refining furnaces, it is no longer enough to rely on manual power drilling and digging for soil and rock. A large excavator and crusher had to be built to keep the furnace working.
The new facility required a lot of energy, and dozens of new pulp powered furnaces were built for this purpose. Fortunately, there is no end to the double-leaf trees on Planet 4, and there is no need to worry about energy supply at all.
The base metal production capacity of 100 refining furnaces reached tens of tons per hour, plus the alloy obtained from dismantling the combat vehicles, and soon Lin Xi rebuilt an armed version of the mobile base.
The Horizon No. 2 base has also risen from the ground, from the original 2 meters high to 2 meters of one floor, a total of three layers of structure, the base radius of 50 meters, surrounded by a number of individual fire positions, 30 remote control improved version of the third generation of mechanical keyboards around the distribution, half of which are placed on the top floor. Basically, no matter which direction the enemy attacks from, they will face more than 10 mechanical keyboards covered by fire.
Several simple houses and production bases have been moved into the center of the fortress and protected, but the space of the fortress is limited, and so many equipment are crowded inside, which is quite a sense of the interior of a nuclear submarine in the home star era.
After the fortress was basically completed, Lin Xi laid three alloy wire nets on the periphery. With a lot of firepower, this handy and inexpensive sluggish trap works exceptionally well.
The design of the entire fortress firepower is quite versatile, anyway, no matter what comes, just blow it up. However, Chu Jungui still felt uneasy, and built three remote-controlled machine gun towers in the center of the top of the fortress.
As soon as these three machine gun towers were built, the idea of the entire fortress was very clear, and the main target was the beast tide.
Chu Jungui hadn't slept for dozens of hours, constantly debugging one remote-controlled turret after another until each one passed the test. Fortunately, although the performance of the alien version of the chip is not very good, the reliability is still quite good, and it is completely worthy of the words "durable".
It's not that the test subject can't build more remote-controlled turrets, but because the Alien version of the chip has a communication distance of only fifty meters, the base can't be built larger. Now all that's left is to make ammunition with all your might, dozens of remote-controlled turrets plus 20 Federation prisoners, and it's not a small amount if it really takes to fight.
At the beginning of the mass production of ammunition, it turned out that there were not enough materials. It won't take long for the small herd to be consumed.
Federation fighters also have personal chips, and Roland's is more advanced. Although their chips and personal terminals are not as good as those of agents, they are no worse than those of the officers of the Tang Dynasty. Chu Jungui didn't intend to let these chips be idle, so he equipped each person with an organic matter detector to slowly analyze all kinds of substances on this planet.
Anyway, there are thousands of items that need to be tested, and even the organic matter that has been tested has many unknown areas that can be further explored. Lin Xi and Chu Jungui were not in a hurry, they just did it slowly.
Chu Jungui here is desperately increasing his firepower, and Lin Xi is holding a freshly baked biochip over there, and gradually has a new idea.
She pulled ten workbenches and arranged 50 biochip production tasks in one go. While waiting for the chip to come out, Lin Xi began to design a new central processing machine.
The processor is a very old design, and it didn't take long to complete the blueprints. It looks like an ordinary iron cabinet, with rows of compartments and slots, each corresponding to a biochip.
With this ancient, simple and crude design, Lin Xi integrates multiple biochips to improve the overall processing speed and capacity. As for what the processor can do, she hasn't thought about it yet, and is going to install it on the mobile base first. With a processor controlling the operating attitude and speed of the mobile base, autonomous driving can be realized to a large extent, thereby saving valuable manpower.
At the same time, Lin Xi also saw that those remote-controlled turrets built by Chu Jun would become automatic turrets if they were controlled by a processor. It's just that the performance of the biochip is really average, and the production speed is very limited, and one processor can control up to 2 automatic turrets at the same time.
The most common automatic weapon station controller in the Tang Dynasty was nothing more than the size of a fingernail, as thin as a piece of paper. The top-of-the-line controller is invisible to the naked eye, but can control hundreds or thousands of weapon stations.
But on Planet Four, naturally there are no such conditions, and even if they do, they cannot operate here. The finer the controller, the faster it will break.
The Federation fighters were also busy in their respective positions, with several fighters lined up on the edge of the distant forest, learning how to operate biomass automatic rifles and machine guns. Horizon 2 is no Shadow Fortress, and without an endless supply of modern weapons and ammunition, everything is just local sources.
Fortunately, they are all elite lancers, and alien survival is considered basic training, and they can both fight and build, so it is difficult to find more qualified coolies.
Thanks to their efforts, Base 2 has gradually taken shape, and at least a shell has been built.
With the lessons learned from previous sneak attacks, there are now at least two people on guard at all times, and one is fixed and one is swimming.
At this time, it was the colonel himself who was serving as a mobile sentinel, and he carried a gun and walked along the perimeter of the base without sparing the slightest abnormality.
Rounding the corner, the colonel suddenly shook his whole body, and subconsciously raised his gun and aimed it at the red in the distance.
It was a man in a red trench coat, and the roses on the black mask stood out.
But this time Rose came alone, with only one locomotive, no troops behind her, and no chariot mech.
Rose drove the locomotive, rushed to a close place and stopped, then jumped out of the car and walked straight to the colonel.
"Roland, looks like you're doing well. ”
The colonel subconsciously took a step back, and then realized the fear in his subconscious, smiled reluctantly, and asked, "My lord, why are you here?"
"I'm here to ......" Rose was halfway through her words, when she suddenly shook her whole body, as if she had encountered a natural enemy, and instantly retreated a few meters away.
Roland was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw the base behind him, and he couldn't even see a figure, and he didn't understand what Rose was afraid of.
Rose stared at the base. Just now he had the illusion that all the turrets were turning their heads to 'look' at him at the same time. But now, when he looked back, the turrets all turned back, looking motionless into the distance, as if nothing had been done.
