Chapter 47 - Controlling 13th and 15th (3)

"Elder Lucas, let's start with your side first for our Friday Meeting. Is there anything of concern?" Zhang Qin Feng allowed his Scraps Exchange Company to take the lead today.

"Subordinate indeed here today with good news. Please allow me to introduces our three skillful representatives in this meeting," Elder Lucas stands with the three people behind him followed.

"James, Charles, and Johannes," Elder Lucas pointed at the two men and a woman.

At first, only Elder Lucas and James representing his Scraps Exchange Company. One took the convoy up north, to 13th Zone, and another heading to the south, 17th Zone.

But today, they're proudly introducing two additional members to the company, Charles and Johannes.

Charles came from Captain Guo's family, who moved into the Azure Wind Base not too long ago. As for Johannes, she's recently joined the base as a member of the Tianyuan Gang.

Since the 13th Zone Iron Gang and Tianyuan Gang is no more, Johannes has to look for an alternative to show her worth. As the sole representative leading the trade between Tianyuan Gang and Azure Wind Base before this, James' comment is full of praises when it comes to Johannes.

And right here, with her leading their 4th trading convoy, the Scraps Exchange Company would only grow further. Even James personally vouched on her ability.

While in performances, their result is not shabby at all.

The four of them brought back over 12-tonne of vehicle-related scraps back to the base. In the afternoon, when Zhang Qin Feng came to the apocalypse, the workers have already started to deposit the pieces into his store's recycler.

The moment Elder Lucas' presentation ended, Zhang Qin Feng transferred a file into their independent tablet computer. It was a digital image of a Supply Vehicle, which is yet to be named.

If the APV is counted as a 16x2 wheeler vehicle, then this Supply Vehicle can be recognized with its 6x2 wheeler.

From the digital image, it is about half the size of an APV, which is between 7 to 8 meters in length. On the back is a 15-tonne compartment space, which can be reshaped with a push of a button.

The driving mechanism is inspired by the simplicity of the APV but comes with fewer switches. And because it was a supply vehicle design, there's an additional driver's wheel to control the back wheel's direction during All-Wheel Drive Mode.

Of course, that's not all.

The convoys came back with 12-tonne of technology scraps after all. Zhang Qin Feng transferred the second digital image to their tablet computer, bringing further surprises to everyone present in this room.

It was another vehicle with the same length, but focusing more on transferring soldiers and their equipment. Also similar is the 6x2 wheeler design, driving system, but without the All-Wheel Drive function.

And instead of a front and back compartment, the soldiers-vehicle comes in a more slender one-piece body. On top of the ride is an attachment of Lightning Bolt Rifle with a driver's controlled Hailstorm.

It is also capable of handling eight personnel along with their BSV package, including the driver.

Allowing the Scraps Exchange Company to start first brought them enough respect. Being able to bring back valuable technology like these two vehicles are counted as a distinguished contribution to the Azure Wind Base.

"Let's get to the Union's report. Who's going to start first between all of you?" Zhang Qin Feng waved his hand over to Dan Mi, Guo Fu, and their assistants.

The two seem to be giving the chances to each other to start, which shows Zhang Qin Feng their friendliness between two unions. To him, that's important because Workers and Residents relying on each other, while the Military protects them.

"Then, I won't be courteous with you. Please allow me, Guo Fu, to start first," he cupped his hand together to shows Dan Mi sufficient respect. Without wasting everyone's time any longer, Guo Fu took the opportunity to continue their meeting.

"Worker's Union successfully covered the electricity grid all around the two streets. I dare to tell everyone here that as long the base produces sufficient energy, we will not have a moment of darkness in our daily life!" Guo Fu's announcement received clapping from everyone present, including Zhang Qin Feng.

"At the same time, please allow me to continue this a little longer. Right now, with the help of new family members, such as those from Tianyuan, Iron, and others, we've now had ten Material Stations standing and running!"

A chain of good news made everyone happier in this room. Power grid completed, printing station working and ready, there's only good news in his report.

"Of course, good news will only stay if we're prepared." Guo Fu's expression gets more serious after sharing with them all his positivity.

"The Worker's Union requested that we'll be allowed to turn a special power production design into a reality!" Guo Fu's sentence followed with an assistant standing up from his seat. Within his hand is a hologram device for presentation purposes.

"Sir?" Guo Fu asked for Zhang Qin Feng's approval to continue.

"Go ahead," Zhang Qin Feng nodded.

Placing the device on the table, a project of reinforcing the high-rise building is on display.

"This planning involving the 66 floors tall building on the second main street. By reinforcing the inner and outer structure using Moly-Titanium Alloy, it will be capable of handling over ten thousand Alexis Powercell Rods." Guo Fu started his presentation using the hologram.

The building inside the hologram shows how the reinforcing procedure will be conducted. After patiently watching it for about 5 minutes, the attachment of Steel Rods is added outside of the building before numbers appeared on the hologram.

100 rods each side, multiplied by 4.

Then, 400 rods per level is multiplied with 67, which includes the roof.

In total, 26,800 rods with Alexis Powercell covering the entire building from the first floor onwards. Through the regular output of 1,000 kW per power cell, that's a whopping 26,800 megawatts per day.

Based on their current usage of 3,000 megawatts per day, a day of charging from the power cell is enough to support the base for an entire week. But to make this project a success, the number of resources required is not small.

Only in titanium metal itself is already 107.2 tonne. If including all other resources, Zhang Qin Feng needs to prepare close to 500 tonnes of metal resources for them to bring this project into living.

But Zhang Qin Feng's assumption cames too early.

He's underestimated the ability that came from 2,100 people in his Azure Wind Base.

Guo Fu took a step back, allowing his assistant to continue.

"My name is Chen Feng. I am here on behalf of both Stein Tech Research Department and Worker's Union," he said.

"Chen Feng, go ahead." Zhang Qin Feng nodded as he speaks.

"Continuing from where Union Director stops, everything I'm going to say here is still in our research phase. Up to date, the Worker's side in Stein Tech Research Department has found the way to double the production rate of Alexis Air-Type Powercell."

[Toot!]

[Toooooooooooooooooooooooooot!]

Unexpected to Zhang Qin Feng, Chen Feng's word actually made Mother-Key reacts!

Although the production is going to be somehow harder based on our Printer's ability and the cost of the resource is going to be higher as well..."

"The Alexis Tower is expected to generate close to 53,600 megawatts daily, without fail." Chen Feng let go of a deep breath after he finished his second sentence.

But he's not finished yet!

"With an energy supply this much, we could force half of the printing station to collect enough software experience to print an upgraded version of Material Printer parts."

"This way... We'll be able to get our hand into a Material Printer closer to what privatized company use, I guess?"
