Entering the production area, Chu Jungui understood why the entire base was dark.

There are less than 50 basic construction machines still in operation in the production area, and the number of refining furnaces, organic matter separators, organic matter editors, etc., is about the same. It looks like there are less than 100 staff members, and it looks like a lonely person in the huge production area.

The vast majority of construction machines are used to produce ammunition, and only a small percentage are used to produce food and other raw materials. The food that came out of the builder was packed box by box. Chu Jungui picked up a box and looked at it, the lid of the box was printed with the words synthetic food, but other than that, it was blank.

The box is made of synthetic paper, and the lid is sealed in one go. Chu Jungui tore open the lid of the box and saw that it was a dark purple paste like tofu. He picked up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, it didn't have any texture, it tasted very strange, with a lingering sourness, and it was hard to swallow.

Chu Jungui swallowed it in one gulp and analyzed the ingredients in his stomach. This is the most basic nutritional paste, which is high in calories, but it is not good for anything else. And the lunch box is significantly smaller than the normal size, only half the standard size.

"Two boxes per meal?" Chu Jungui asked.

"No, one box, there are only two boxes on front-line duty. ”

Chu Jungui was very surprised, "What does this mean? Can't even eat enough?"

Le Mans smiled wryly, "It can be understood, but there is no way to do it." ”

"There are so many organic matter resources on this planet, aren't all beast tides sending meat?"

Le Mans stammered, unable to answer. Roland's voice sounded next to him: "I'll answer." We don't have enough capacity, and we must produce enough ammo before the next beast tide, or we'll all die. All available capacity is used for the production of ammunition, and only a small part is maintained for the production of essential goods, but only at the level of minimum requirements. In order to reduce food consumption and relieve discomfort, we arrange for at least 500 people to lie still in bed every day. Those who have their turn to lie still can only be allocated one box of food a day. ”

Chu Jun returned: "I remember that ammunition was never a problem when I left. ”

"That's you, no one will be able to control the weapon station like you after you're gone, and fighting a battle consumes ten times more ammunition than it used to be. And that's just barely fending off the tide of beasts. ”

After looking at the production area, Chu Jungui checked the defense facilities again. The turrets are mostly in good condition, and even the idle turrets are well maintained. In total, more than 300 turrets were placed along the outer walls, and the remaining firepower gaps were filled by manned fire points.

After all, the steering and tracking of the turret is not as fast as manpower, and ordinary people do not have Chu Jungui's prediction, so it is very difficult to manipulate the turret, and the efficiency is not high. Therefore, after Chu Jun returned to Lin Xi and left, the people who stayed behind took up their arms again, and the turret was only used as a fulcrum for fire.

The only good news is that ammunition is plentiful.

After seeing the entire base, Chu Jungui knew it in his heart. He summoned the generals back to the conference room and began to question in detail about the attack by the federal forces.

Roland and the others are all from the federal army, and they are naturally very familiar with the federation. They have long concluded that within 300 kilometers of the base, federal forces have created a new one. It's just that because of the frequent beast tides, they are too busy to take care of themselves, so they only attack tentatively once. The target of that attack was obvious, it was aimed at the Cambrian mastermind. The Lancers were the first troops to establish a base on the planet's surface, and naturally knew the importance of the base mastermind, even if it was an outdated one like the Cambrian.

After the Cambrian was destroyed, most of the base was paralyzed. No matter how good Roland and Wilson were, they could barely hold on.

At this time, what supported the operation of the entire base was a generation of Tinder biochip mastermind left by Chu Jungui at the beginning. This Tinder uses a simplified version of the Prometheus architecture, which is limited by the number and performance of biochips, and the computing power is very limited. With the Cambrian hashrate index of 10,000, then the tinder is 70, which may be less than a little. This performance is still because of the advanced Prometheus architecture.

At present, 91% of the base's production capacity is in the production of ammunition and related raw materials, 6% of the production capacity is in the production of food and fuel, and less than 3% of the mobile production capacity needs to cope with the repair and construction of the entire base. The so-called 3% production capacity is just 2 construction machines at the moment.

Fortunately, all the blueprints of the preliminary basic research are stored in the agent chip, and there is no need for secondary research and development. Chu Jungui's third-order special chip has strong performance, with a computing power index of 12,000 alone, which has surpassed Cambrian, and has many functions that Cambrian does not have, and the actual performance is far above the surface computing power.

Chu Jungui connected the personal terminal and the tinder together and began to redistribute the tasks of the entire base.

The first thing is to activate the full reserve power of the base and wake up the 500 people who are still lying still. That's 500 laborers, but 500 men, along with their armor, will deplete the base's power reserves in 12 hours. At that time, the whole base will return to the era of pure craftsmanship.

However, Chu Jungui naturally knew this, and he immediately stopped the production of all ammunition and turned to the production of fuel and raw materials for equipment parts. There are only two power furnaces in the base now, and they cannot run at full power, so Chu Jungui plans to build two new Le Mans crystal power furnaces. Chu Jungui made minor revisions to the design, greatly simplifying the structure and speeding up the construction while reducing the power.

The end result is a 5-metre-tall behemoth, but it takes half the time to build, it's more stable, and it's mostly made of the ubiquitous material of reinforced steel.

Chu Jungui reconnected part of the automatic turret to the tinder. Controlling an automatic turret consumes 1 computing power, and a fire can do nothing, and 80 turrets must be controlled in a simple way. Chu Jungui left half of the computing power to maintain the normal operation of the base, and then connected the remaining 100 turrets to his personal chip for direct control.

As soon as the reclassification was completed, an alarm sounded on the watchtower. A loud warrior roared, "The beast tide is coming!!"

Even with the help of the sound playback function of the battle armor, it is not easy for this person to cover the entire base. Chu Jun glanced at Wilson and Roland beside him, and said, "You have lived to the 18th century!"

ridicule is ridicule, Chu Jungui quickly climbed the city wall and looked at the beast tide.

At this time, the Beast Tide Striker was only 1500 meters away from the fortress, and the reaction time left for the fortress was very limited. Originally, the forward reconnaissance system established by Chu Jungui seemed to have completely failed, and the entire base could only rely on the primitive means of lookout to maintain vigilance.

Looking at the familiar beast tide, Chu Jungui smiled slightly, and said to the left and right: "There is meat to eat at night." ”
