Chapter 163: Mobile Base

The problem with such a large tire is that the size of the manufacturing machine must be large enough, at least not the existing manufacturing machine, and even the segmentation of the tire cannot be made.

The solution was ready-made, and the agent's blueprint included a large fabrication machine, and of course, the Alien version needed to be redeveloped.

Lin Xi divided the research task into more than ten sub-parts and distributed them to Chu Jungui, Hathaway and even relevant researchers, and the research and development progress increased greatly, and after ten hours, the design drawings of the alien version of the large-scale joint manufacturing machine were completed.

The large machine is twice as large as the original version, 2 meters wide, 4 meters long and 4 meters high, which allows it to build a third of the giant tires at once and then put them back together. Tires are naturally better to be molded at one time, but the requirements for the manufacturing machine are too high.

The manufacturing speed of large manufacturing machines has also increased, and Lin Xi has planned to move to the base.

The design of the power system and drive mechanism has been completed, then the basic framework of the mobile base is already available. As the original version, Lin Xi planned a ten-wheel structure with 4 front and 6 back, 60 meters long and 30 meters wide, about the size of half a football field.

With the height of the tires and the suspension structure, this big guy can easily pass over obstacles of more than 3 meters. In most areas known, it can be unimpeded.

For the next two home planet days, next to Base 2, a new mobile base frame has emerged. Ten giant tires have been fabricated and placed in their designated locations. Dozens of fighters are welding together structural parts made of heavy alloys, gradually forming a skeleton that connects the tires.

From a distance, the mobile base at this moment looks like a steel bar connected to a tire.

After completing the basic frame, the fighters spread the pre-made alloy plates on the skeleton, which is the floor of the mobile base. The floor is only 3 cm thick, so the defense is naturally insufficient, but as an internal structural part, it is sufficient, and the external defense will be solved with special armor plates.

Chu Jungui put the last piece of floor and fixed it, then stood up straight, looked around, looked at the huge platform that had just seen the beginning, and suddenly felt an indescribable satisfaction. Such a big lump of things, but really made?

In this moment, the subject felt that he had finally understood the sense of accomplishment of the ancient Egyptians in building the pyramids.

It's just that the size of this thing in front of me is still far from the pyramid. And looking at the platform area, I feel that the wheels are still a little small. Fortunately, the platform is built on a higher layer of the keel frame, and the distance from the ground is a full 8 meters, and if you stand on it, you can barely feel a little high and far away.

At this time, several fighters jumped onto the platform with a box of plates on their shoulders. Chu Jungui took over a box, and according to the design drawing, a piece of standard one-square-meter board was installed at the designated position, and the prototype of the functional area of the base was slowly moved.

The exterior of the base is wrapped in heavy alloy armor, and the interior is divided into living quarters, ammunition depots, and production areas, which can take all the people of Base 2 with them.

Powering the mobile base are five die-powered furnaces with a total power of 1 million kW, which is enough to power a small city, and it stands to reason that it is more than enough to drive a mobile base. The area used to store fuel is not large, and most of the consumables stored in it are used to replace the energy displacement part, and there is not much need for real grains.

With two large manufacturing machines, there is only enough space left for the necessary raw material handling and further processing equipment. The two manufacturing machines are basically enough for the base to maintain itself, but it is difficult to meet more requirements.

The living quarters are the areas that occupy the most space, and in an emergency, the mobile base needs to be able to load everyone onto the base and then move it. The living needs of nearly 200 people are not a small number, and Lin Xi specially designed a three-shift sleep and rest system, which also requires more than 70 beds to be enough.

The first and second floors of the mobile base are rectangular in design, while the upper level is an armed zone. In order to take into account the shooting boundary in all directions, Lin Xi designed the base into an elliptical shape, stacked layer by layer like a terrace, until the top roof of the fourth floor.

On each floor of the elliptical shape, there will be weapons stations, and the top roof is all anti-aircraft towers.

In order to install the weapon stations to the maximum, Lin Xi designed the spacing between the weapon stations to be very tight, so close that it would affect the firing boundary between each other.

The final mobile base is the product of the Multi-Turret Divine Cult, but Lin Xi is still a little unsatisfied, after all, there are not more than 200 turrets, and he can't give full play to Chu Jungui's strength at all.

In this way, several days passed, and I don't know whether it was licking the wound or brewing a more fierce attack, and the beast tide never appeared.

Before the beast tide could attack, the preliminarily completed mobile base slowly drove out of the No. 2 base and headed in the direction of the War Beast Valley.

Inside the cab, Hathaway looked at the earth and forest that were slowly receding, and said helplessly: "Lin Xi, can't you design the base better? This thing is really ugly, it's a bit like that, it's still pricked." ”

Lin Xi didn't care and said, "It's easy to use." However, it is indeed a bit slow. ”

"It's not bad for such a big guy to be able to travel more than 40 kilometers per hour, at least faster than the spiny beast and the giant rhinoceros. However, the passability is not enough, and you just set an inclined plane on the front of the car, which has a limited effect. ”

"So what to do?"

"Why don't you add a row of wheels to that incline as well? ”

Lin Xi's eyes lit up and said, "That makes sense!"

At this time, the body suddenly shook, and several anti-aircraft towers on the top opened fire at the same time, and a small black dot in the distance exploded in the air.

"What's going on?"

"The Messenger. Chu Jungui, who had not spoken, replied.

"A courier is also going to use an anti-aircraft tower?"

"The roses are on top. ”

Subject answers questions that are not asked.

The mobile base roared all the way to the Valley of War Beasts, and all the small beast tides encountered along the way were swept away and turned into raw materials and ammunition in the internal space of the base.

After a full day and night, the mobile base slowly stopped. Dozens of pillars protrude from the chassis and insert them into the ground, turning the base into stationary mode, while the entire base slowly lowers in height and stops.

Lin Xi looked at a forest on the left, looked at the open area in front of him and on the right, and then looked at the route that had been thoroughly explored, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's here." ”

Chu Jungui nodded, and after a few clicks on his personal terminal, several reconnaissance missiles took off into the air and flew in the direction of the War Beast Valley.
