"MMP!"
The alloy door panel shook for a while. Chu Guang couldn't help cursing as he looked at the things lying on the conveyor belt.
33 primary blind boxes, but 22 lollipops were opened. He almost got angry.
Fortunately, half of these lollipops can add BUFF, so his little players will probably pay for them. It's a loss but not a complete loss.
In addition, there are 3 cans, 2 buckets of instant noodles, 1 pack of compressed biscuits and other reserve food, 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 from the blind box.
Do you still need to eat canned food?
With those stupid players, why not just tell them what you want to eat.
The only thing that made his eyes light up was the palm-sized, vacuum-packed transparent packaging bag at the back.
It looks like it contains seeds?
"What is this?"
Chu Guang picked up the packet of seeds and just as he looked at it curiously in his hand 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, this variety has a larger yield per plant and a shorter growth cycle. Traditional soil planting cannot highlight the advantages of genetic improvement. It is recommended to use soilless cultivation technology for concentrated planting to ensure seed purity. ]
Okay, it turns out to be cotton seeds.
Although it is questionable whether this thing can be considered food, these cotton seeds are still very useful for Shelter No. 404.
I heard that cotton can be harvested once a year and it takes several months to mature.
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 warmth and economy.
Especially, cotton has a large enough output, stable output, and a wide range of uses. It can be used for weaving and as a filler.
In the case of being unable to produce artificial fibers on a large scale, cotton can at least solve the clothing needs of some players.
After all, the number of blue jackets is limited, and players cannot always wear them.
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."
I opened so many cans of pork. It would be great if I could open a pig someday.
If it doesn't work, chickens and ducks are also OK.
Milk is occasionally drunk. Chu Guang hasn't eaten eggs for a long time.
If you don't count bird eggs.
…
Around 5 pm.
The Marines led by Lu Yang returned from the south and arrived at the outpost almost at the same time as the two light trucks escorting the machine tools.
At the same time, the good news that "the fuel rods have been found" also arrived.
Lu Yang, wearing a power armor, walked in front of Chu Guang, tapped the side of the helmet with his index finger, removed the mask, and said with a hearty smile.
"...Thanks to the guide you recommended to us, we finally found the fuel rods we need. There is still 93% energy left, which is quite considerable and will be enough for a long time!"
To be honest, this may be good news for the Pioneer, but for Chu Guang, it is not something to be happy about.
After all, for the current Shelter No. 404, the Pioneer is like a thigh. In theory, the longer they stay, the more beneficial it will be for them.
However, looking at the hearty smile on Captain Lu's face, Chu Guang still felt happy for him sincerely.
"Congratulations! We finally found it after searching for so long."
"Yes, it was not easy." Lu Yang said with a complex tone, "We thought we could find it in two or three days, but it took so long."
In fact, about three days ago, they had found a pre-war carbon dioxide collector on the 25th floor of a hotel.
However, unfortunately, after they took the target with great difficulty, they found that someone had taken it there many years ago.
Not only were the fuel rods that should have been inserted into the generator empty, but even the recyclable materials inside were looted.
All signs indicate that a group of survivors once lived there between 0 and 10 years of the Wasteland Era. They stayed in the hotel for a short time and spent a hard time using the glucose, starch and other resources produced by the carbon dioxide collector.
After the CO2 collector stopped working due to the CO2 concentration dropping to the threshold, they unplugged the fuel rods of the backup generator to power the hotel facilities, and finally left after the fuel rods were completely exhausted, and their life and death are unknown.
This is also very normal.
After all, it is now the 211th year of the Wasteland Era, and the garbage they can pick up is nothing more than what others have left, missed, or what they could not pick up at the time because of their lack of strength and conditions.
It still takes a little luck to survive in this world.
Not to mention picking up garbage?
Chu Guang: "Are you leaving?"
Lu Yang nodded and said.
"Well, we have been here for half a month. 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."
All good things must come to an end. The Pioneer has traveled so far, not to help the poor, they have a more important mission to complete.
With nuclear fuel and sufficient resources, this journey is estimated to be very far.
If the situation is optimistic, there should be no need to stop in the second half.
Hearing the expected answer, Chu Guang sighed.
"Although it is a short period of time, I still can't bear to leave you."
"Me too," looking at Chu Guang, Lu Yang said sincerely, "I have learned a lot from you, including your noble qualities, which shocked me greatly."
"Mutual!" Chu Guang said with a smile, "Your technology also impressed us! Let's leave the farewell until the day you set off. This day worth celebrating, don't make the atmosphere so sad."
Lu Yang also smiled.
"By the way, there are still a lot of interesting things left in the carbon dioxide collector we found. I will send you the coordinates later. If you are interested, you can go and recycle it."
Chu Guang asked subconsciously.
"What's there?"
Lu Yang smiled mysteriously and didn't answer him directly.
"If I tell you, won't it make the unboxing less fun?"
Looking at Captain Lu who was keeping things a secret, Chu Guang had a helpless expression on his face.
Another blind box?
He opened so many blind boxes 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 a lot of good things there.
This guy probably wanted to give him a surprise.
"Okay, wait until tomorrow morning, I'll take two people to take a look."
...
The Pioneer will set off within three days.
After exchanging a few words with Chu Guang, Captain Lu took the Marines back on the road and escorted the fuel rods back to the Pioneer.
Old Luca, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the manager had finished his work, so he walked over from the direction of the truck and looked at him respectfully and said.
"Sir, your goods have been delivered. Where do you want to unload them?"
Chu Guang looked around and finally landed on the main building of the sanatorium. After several renovations, the quality of the room there is still quite good.
At least it is much better than the newly built brick house outside.
"Put it on the first floor of the sanatorium first. Find a bigger room to put it. I'll go over and take a look later."
Old Luca nodded respectfully.
"Yes, sir."
The machine tool is very large and heavy.
Out of caution, Old Luca first asked the players in the carpenter's hut to make several unloading brackets and arranged four strength players before successfully unloading it from the truck.
There was also a small episode here.
Since the machine tool had been assembled when it was delivered, the whole machine could not pass through the gate of the sanatorium. Chu Guang had no choice but to choose a room near the outside and have half of the wall removed, so that the machine tool could be carried in.
The silver metallic paint surface and the square, angular shell looked like a large freezer from a distance. However, its internal structure was far from as simple as it looked on the surface. It could be said that it was a different world.
Chu Guang simply glanced at the instruction manual.
The processing chamber has a volume of 1.5 cubic meters, and can process materials with a maximum size of 1X1X1m.
Due to the particularity of magnetic confinement plasma processing, the device has very high requirements for the processing environment and requires a near-vacuum environment. Therefore, after the device is sent to the feed port, it will first enter the buffer chamber between the two airlocks to inject protective gas, evacuate to a near-vacuum, and then send it to the processing room.
The operation process is quite rigorous and even cumbersome.
However, relatively speaking, this device has no requirements for its own environment. It can be used as long as it is plugged in, and Chu Guang does not need to build a dust-free workshop to serve it.
Looking at the high-tech machine tool behind the broken arms and ruins, Chu Guang couldn't help asking Xiao Qi to take a picture of it.
This is very wasteland!
The device was deployed, and then it was powered on.
Chu Guang carefully checked the rated power of the device. When he saw the unit clearly, he once doubted whether he had seen it wrong.
"Megawatt?! Damn... Is the power consumption so high?"
According to the information Chu Guang found on the Internet, the power consumption of general machine tools is only at the KW level.
However, for such a device that occupies an area of less than 3 square meters, the power consumption has reached the MW level!
But after thinking about it, Chu Guang was relieved.
After all, this thing operates plasma of hundreds of millions of degrees. Not only does it need to generate a magnetic field to constrain them, but it also needs to accurately arrange them into a single atomic knife that can cut materials.
Such a terrifying control power, let alone making machine tools, is enough to ignite a fusion reactor. If you think about it this way, it can be considered relatively energy-saving if it does not reach the GW level of power.
Chu Guang even suspected that if this thing is slightly modified and the working gas is replaced with helium or hydrogen isotopes, it might really be used as a nuclear reactor.
However, if it is used in that way, it is somewhat a waste of time...
In short, fortunately, Captain Lu gave him two cold fusion batteries before.
Otherwise, even the 10kw firewood generator he bought from Lister before, combined with the one seized from the old leech, would not be able to power this power-hungry machine.
Chu Guang fumbled for a while and found the emergency power socket near the wiring port, which was just enough to plug in the universal cold fusion battery.
The power is connected.
The signal light is 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.
"Speaking of which, how do you use this thing?"
There seemed to be an instruction manual on the screen.
Just as Chu Guang was about to click 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."
Hearing the voice from the third floor, Chu Guang looked surprised, walked outside and raised his head to ask.
"Can you use this?"
Xiaoqi: "In theory, it shouldn't be difficult. This machine tool has a high degree of automation. You only need to fill in the preset processing parameters and then put in the materials. You don't have to worry about the rest. I believe that if the master has read the instructions, he will definitely be able to operate it. Xiaoqi just simplifies the process for you... Master, can you take Xiaoqi over to have a look first?"
"Wait a minute, I'll search for a few drawings in the shelter first, you help me try to process them!"
After speaking, Chu Guang turned back to the shelter without waiting for Xiaoqi to speak.
Occasionally, there are some big hands on the official website forum who throw some drawings that they don't know where they got from in the discussion area and argue with others.
Some classic firearms such as AK, Mosin-Nagant, KA, SKS, and Type 56, from GIF animations of internal structures to professional drawings with part sizes, Chu Guang did not add them to the favorites after reading them, but he kept them silently.
His intuition told him that these things would definitely be useful.
And now, this opportunity has come.
After picking up the design of an AK47, Chu Guang went to the warehouse to get a few ingots of suitable size and shape.
Although the quality of steel produced by the No. 81 Steel Plant is very average, these ingots are all reserve materials looted by the Ox-Horse Squad from a private shelter.
It is perfect for processing barrels and receivers!
The gate was closed, and as the material was fed from the feed port into the buffer chamber, the CNC machine tool began to work.
In front of the hot plasma, the solid steel was like a piece of mud, and it was easily broken into pieces.
Chu Guang was surprised to find that this equipment can not only process multiple geometric surfaces of the same part, but also form 8 plasma blades through pre-programmed design, perform cutting of different depths from multiple angles, and even cut multiple parts of different sizes and geometric shapes from the same piece of material, minimizing the remaining scraps!
Since the AK rifle does not require high precision for parts, the processing time is not too long.
Not counting the time for the machine to start, Chu Guang waited for about 10 to 20 minutes, and all the processing procedures were completed.
The finished parts and the cut waste are sent out from the discharge port and placed separately.
Although it is processed by plasma at hundreds of millions of degrees, due to the small amount of working fluid used for cutting, the temperature of the processed workpiece does not rise much, only about 40 to 50 degrees, which minimizes the processing accuracy error caused by temperature changes.
According to the description in the manual, if the precision of the parts is required to be at the nanometer level, the temperature of the finished workpiece can even be made exactly the same as when it is fed into the feed port.
However, the time consumed in that way will also increase exponentially.
Chu Guang assembled the parts according to the drawings, and soon got an AK-47 without a wooden buttstock or handguard.
Considering the production power consumption, materials, and hidden costs converted to technology, this is probably the most expensive AK in the world.
Xiao Qi: "Master."
Chu Guang, who was excited, had no time to pay attention to it, and said perfunctorily.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi always feels... this machine tool doesn't seem to be used to produce such rough things."
Chu Guang said without hesitation: "I know, I just want to try whether this thing is good or not."
If you can make a gun, you can make the tools to produce guns.
When the entire production line is replicated, won't his players have one?
By that time, when the steel production capacity is increased, the rifle production capacity will also increase, and everyone will be a 50-yuan good brother, no, it should be said that the 100-yuan mobilized soldier.
Three days a life, a gun a day, the "bug" that the weapon store cannot replenish 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 it left and right, with an excited expression on his face.
It's a pity that there are no matching bullets.
Otherwise, he really wants to fire two shots to try.
If there is no problem with using it, just throw it in the warehouse and sell it as a limited edition skin. After all, it is a dream linkage with CF. Selling it for 500 silver coins is not too much, right?
Xiao Qi watched quietly from the side, not daring to speak.
I always feel that his master is not very smart.
Fortunately, it is not like this every day...
