Chapter 160: This is probably the most expensive AK in the world

“MMP!”

The alloy door panel shook for a while, looking at the things lying on the conveyor belt, Chu Guang couldn't help but curse.

Of the 33 primary blind boxes, 22 lollipops were opened, and he almost didn't get his nose crooked.

Fortunately, half of these lollipops can be buffed, and his little players will probably pay for it, and they lose but not completely.

In addition, there are 3 cans, 2 buckets of instant noodles, 1 pack of compressed biscuits and other reserve grains, as well as 2 bottles of soy sauce and 2 bottles of vinegar.

To be honest, since the Pioneer came here, Chu Guang has not been so interested in the food drawn out of the blind box.

Do you still need to eat canned food?

There are those sand sculpture players, and you can just indicate what you want to eat.

The only thing that lit up his eyes was the palm-sized, vacuum-pumped transparent bag at the back.

Looks like it's filled with seeds?

"What is this?"

Chu Guang picked up the bag of seeds, and just as he curiously held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, a light blue label floated out from the side.

[β-712 Cotton Seeds: As the name suggests, these seeds can grow cotton. After genetic engineering design, the yield per plant of this variety is larger, and the growth cycle is shorter, and the traditional soil planting can not highlight the advantages of genetic improvement, so it is recommended to use soilless cultivation technology to concentrate planting to ensure the purity of seeds. 】

Well, it turned out to be cotton seeds.

It's questionable whether this thing can be considered food, but the cotton seeds are useful for Vault 404.

I heard that cotton can be harvested once a year, and it takes several months to ripen.

I don't know how long it will take for these seeds drawn from the blind box to mature, Chu Guang plans to find a little player who loves farming and throw the seeds to him to try.

Although the outpost now has devil silk, cotton still has its irreplaceable role in terms of warmth and economy.

In particular, the yield of cotton is large enough, the output is stable, and it is versatile, both for weaving and as a filler.

In the case that man-made fibers cannot be prepared on a large scale, the availability of cotton can solve at least some of the players' clothing needs.

After all, there are only a limited number of blue coats, and players can't always wear them.

For example, when hunting or going out to do tasks, most players will change their clothes while changing their equipment.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if this intermediate blind box can open a living thing."

With so many cans of pork, it would be nice to have a pig when it could be opened.

Not really, chickens and ducks can too.

Milk is occasionally drunk, and Chu Guang has not eaten such a thing as eggs for a long time.

If you don't count the eggs.

……

Around 5 p.m.

Lujan's Marines returned from the south and arrived at the outpost at about the same time as the two light trucks escorting the machines.

At the same time, the good news that "the fuel rods have been found" arrived.

Lu Yang, who was wearing power armor, walked up to Chu Guang, tapped his index finger on the side of the helmet, lifted the mask, and said with a hearty smile.

“…… Thanks to the guide you referred us, we finally found the fuel rods we needed. There is still 93% of the energy left, which is quite considerable, enough for a long time! ”

To be honest, this may be good news for the Trailblazer, but for Chu Guang, it is not something to be happy about.

After all, for the current Vault 404, the Trailblazer is like a thigh, and theoretically the longer they stay, the better it will be for them.

However, looking at the hearty smile on Captain Lu's face, Chu Guang was still sincerely happy for him.

"Congratulations! I've been looking for so long, but I can be considered to have found it. ”

"yes, it's not easy." Lu Yang said with emotion on his face, and said in a complicated tone, "We thought that we would be able to find it in two or three days if it was fast, but we didn't expect it to drag on for so long." ”

In fact, about three days ago, they had already found a carbon dioxide trap from the pre-war era – on the twenty-fifth floor of a hotel.

Sadly, however, when they had worked so hard to get their goal down, they found that it had already been taken many years earlier.

Not only were the fuel rods that should have been plugged into the generator empty, but even the recyclable materials inside were looted.

There are various indications that it was about 0~10 years of the Wasteland Era, and a group of survivors lived there. They spent a short time in the hotel and spent a hard time using the glucose, starch and other resources produced by the carbon dioxide trap.

After the CO2 trap stopped working due to the carbon dioxide concentration dropping to a threshold, they unplugged the fuel rods from the backup generator to power the hotel facilities, and eventually left after the fuel rods were completely depleted, with no fate unknown.

This is also a very normal thing.

After all, it is now the year 211 of the Wasteland Era, and the garbage they can pick up is nothing more than what others picked leftovers, missed, or their strength and conditions did not allow them to pick up at that time.

It takes a little luck to survive in this world.

Not to mention picking up trash?

Chu Guang: "Are you leaving?" ”

Lu Yang nodded and said.

"Well, we've been here for half a month, and now the damaged equipment has been repaired, the fuel rods have been found, and the resource inventory is full...... It's time to get back on the road. ”

There is no banquet in the world, and the Pioneer has traveled so far to alleviate poverty, and they have a more important mission to complete.

With nuclear fuel and abundant resources, this journey is estimated to be a long, long way.

If the situation is optimistic, the second half of the race should not stop.

Hearing the expected answer, Chu Guang sighed lightly.

"It's been a short period of time, but I'm quite reluctant to let you go."

"Me too," looking at Chu Guang, Lu Yang said sincerely, "I have learned a lot from you, including your noble qualities, which shocked me even more. ”

"Let's do each other!" Chu Guang smiled and said, "Your skills are also impressive to us!" If you say goodbye, save it for the day you set off, and don't let the atmosphere be so sad on this day worth celebrating. ”

Lu Yang smiled too.

"By the way, the carbon dioxide trap we found still has a lot of interesting stuff left in it, and I'll send you the coordinates in a moment. If you're interested, you can recycle it. ”

Chu Guang asked subconsciously.

"What's there?"

Lu Yang smiled mysteriously and did not answer him directly.

"If I told you, wouldn't it be less fun to unbox?"

Looking at Captain Lu, who was selling Guanzi, Chu Guang had a helpless expression on his face.

Is it a blind box again?

There are really enough blind boxes he opened today.

However, although Captain Lu didn't say what was there, Chu Guang still guessed a lot of information from his mysterious smile.

There should be quite a few good things to put out there.

This dude probably wanted to surprise him.

"Okay, I'll take two people over early tomorrow morning."

……

The Trailblazer will depart in three days.

After exchanging words with Chu Guang, Captain Lu took the members of the Marine Corps back on the road and escorted the fuel rods back in the direction of the Pioneer.

Old Luca, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the manager was done, so he walked from the direction of the truck, looked at him and said respectfully.

"My lord, your cargo has been delivered, where would you like to unload it?"

Chu Guang glanced left and right, and his gaze finally fell on the main building of the nursing home. After several repairs there, the quality of the rooms is quite good.

At least it's still a lot better than the newly built brick house outside.

"Let's put it on the first floor of the nursing home, you find a bigger room and put it, and I'll go over and take a look later."

Old Lukka nodded respectfully.

"Yes, sir."

The machine is large and heavy.

Out of an abundance of caution, Lukka Sr. first had the carpentry hut players make several unloading brackets and arranged for four power players to successfully unload it from the truck.

There was also a hiccup here.

Since the machine tool had been assembled when it was sent over, the whole machine could not pass through the door of the sanatorium at all, so Chu Guang had no choice but to choose a room close to the outside, and let people tear down half of the wall, so that the machine tool could be lifted in.

The silvery metallic lacquer and boxy, angular shell look like a large freezer from a distance. However, its internal structure is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface, and it can be said that it is unique.

Chu Guang glanced at the instruction manual briefly.

The volume of the processing room is 1.5 cubic meters, and the maximum processing capacity is 1X1X1m.

Due to the particularity of magnetic confinement plasma processing, the device has high requirements for the processing environment, and needs an environment similar to a vacuum, so after the device is fed into the feed port, it will first enter the buffer chamber between the two airlocks to inject protective gas, draw into an approximate vacuum, and then send it into the processing room.

The operation process is quite rigorous, even cumbersome.

However, relatively speaking, this device has no requirements for its own environment, as long as it is plugged in, it can be used, so that there is no need for Chu Guang to get a dust-free workshop to come out and serve it.

Looking at the high-tech machine tool behind the broken arm ruins, Chu Guang couldn't help but ask Xiao Qi to take a photo of it.

It's a wasteland!

Once the unit is deployed, it is powered on.

Chu Guang carefully checked the rated power of this equipment, and when he looked at the unit clearly, he once wondered if he was wrong.

"Megawatts?! Groove ...... Is it so much power-hungry? ”

According to the information found by Chu Guang on the Internet, the power consumption of general machine tools is only KW.

However, with such a device covering an area of less than 3 square meters, the power consumption has actually reached the MW level!

But after thinking about it, Chu Guang was relieved.

After all, this thing operates hundreds of millions of degrees of plasma, and not only does it need to generate a magnetic field that confines them, but it also needs to precisely arrange them into a single-atom knife capable of cutting through materials.

Such terrifying control, let alone making machine tools, is enough to ignite the fusion pile. If you think about it this way, it doesn't reach GW-level power, but it can be regarded as more energy-saving.

Chu Guang even suspected that if he changed this thing a little and replaced the working gas with an isotope of helium or hydrogen, it would be difficult for it to be used as a nuclear reactor.

It's just that if you use it like that, it's a little bit of burning the qin and cooking the crane......

Anyway, fortunately, Captain Lu had given him two cold fusion batteries earlier.

Otherwise, even the 10kw firewood generator he bought from Liszt before, even if it was combined with the old leech, it would not be able to bring this large power consumer.

Chu Guang fumbled for a while, and found the socket of the emergency power supply near the terminal port, which was just enough to plug the general-purpose cold fusion battery into it.

The power is turned on.

The traffic lights are on!

Looking at the touch screen that was gradually lighting up in front of him, Chu Guang touched his chin with interest and looked at it carefully.

"What's the use of this thing?"

There seems to be an instruction manual on the screen.

Just as Chu Guang was about to click on it to take a look, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from upstairs.

"Master, if you don't know how to use it, Xiaoqi can help you do it for you."

Hearing the sound from the 3rd floor, Chu Guang looked surprised, walked outside and raised his head and asked.

"Would you still use this?"

Xiaoqi: "Theoretically, it should not be difficult, this kind of machine tool has a high degree of automation, you only need to fill in the preset processing parameters, and then put in the material, and you don't have to worry about the rest." I believe that if the master reads the manual, he will definitely be able to operate it, Xiaoqi just helps you simplify the process...... Speaking of the master, can you take Xiaoqi over to see it first? ”

"Wait, I'll search for a few drawings first, and you can help me try to process them!"

After speaking, Chu Guang didn't wait for Xiao Qi to speak, so he turned around and went back to the shelter.

Occasionally, there will be some big hands on the official website forum, throwing some drawings that I don't know where to get them in the discussion forum, and arguing with others.

Some classic firearms such as AK, Mosin Nagant, kar98, sks, Type 56 and so on, from GIF animations of internal structures to professional drawings marked with part dimensions, although Chu Guang did not refine them after reading them, they were all silently preserved.

His instincts told him that there would definitely be a chance to use these things.

And now, that opportunity has come.

After picking out a handful of AK47 blueprints, Chu Guang then went to the warehouse to get a few steel ingots of suitable size and shape.

Although the steel produced at SteelWorks 81 was of average quality, the ingots were stockpiles scavenged by the Cattle and Horses squad from a private shelter.

It's perfect for barrels and receivers!

The gate closes and the CNC machine starts working as the material is fed from the feed port into the buffer chamber.

In the face of the scorching plasma, the solid steel was like a piece of mud, which was easily dismantled.

Chu Guang was surprised to find that this machine can not only process multiple geometric surfaces of the same part, but also form 8 plasma blades through pre-programmed design, cut from multiple angles with different depths, and even cut multiple parts of different sizes and geometries from the same piece of material, so as to minimize the remaining leftovers!

Due to the low requirements for the accuracy of the parts of the AK rifle, the processing time is not too long.

Not counting the time it took for the machine to start, Chu Guang waited for about one or twenty minutes, and all the processing procedures were completed.

The finished parts and the scrap that have been cut are sent out of the discharge port and placed separately.

Although it is processed by hundreds of millions of degrees of plasma, because there is very little working fluid used for cutting, the temperature of the processed workpiece does not increase much, only forty or fifty degrees, which minimizes the machining accuracy error caused by temperature changes.

According to the description in the manual, if the accuracy of the part is required to the nanometer level, the temperature of the finished workpiece can be exactly the same as when it is fed into the inlet.

It's just that the time it takes will increase exponentially.

According to the drawings, Chu Guang assembled the parts, and soon got an AK-47 without a wooden butt or handguard.

Considering the power consumption, materials and hidden costs of production, this is probably the most expensive AK in the world.

Xiaoqi: "Master." ”

Chu Guang, who was excited, didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he casually said perfunctory.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi always feels ...... This machine doesn't seem to be used to produce this kind of rough stuff uh. ”

Chu Guang said without hesitation: "I know, I just want to try to see if this thing is good or not." ”

If you can make a gun, you can make a tool to produce a gun.

When the entire production line is reproduced, his players can't have a hand?

At that time, when the production capacity of steel is raised, the production capacity of rifles will also follow, and everyone will be good brothers for 50 yuan - oh no, it should be said that 100 yuan of mobilization.

One life in three days, one gun a day, the "BUG" that the weapon store cannot be restocked in time has been completely fixed, and there is no need to worry about guns being more expensive than people!

Playing with the AK in his hand, Chu Guang touched left and right to look, with an excited expression on his face.

It's a pity that there are no bullets with a matching model.

Otherwise, he'd really want to shoot two shots.

If it's okay to use it, just throw it in the warehouse and sell it as a limited edition skin, after all, it's a dream linkage with CF, and it's not too much to sell it for 500 credits, right?

Xiao Qi watched quietly from the side, not daring to speak.

It always feels like his master is not very smart.

Thankfully, it's not every day......
