Regardless of whether Lao Bai was bragging or not.
After hearing his words, Brother Levin immediately turned back to the next workshop and pushed out a 20mm machine gun that had just been assembled with a cart.
He returned to Lao Bai excitedly, and said with shining eyes.
"Brother, let's try it."
"If you can really carry this thing and fire a round, we will try to make the thing you said!"
There is no point in making a weapon that most people can't use. It is impossible for Steel Plant No. 81 to open a separate production line for a certain player.
But on the other hand, if this outrageous weapon can be used, it will make a lot of money!
20mm gun barrels and ammunition are ready.
The rotating bolt locking is not very difficult. Just modify the receiver of the Arbiter I bolt-action rifle to make an enlarged version!
There are at least two or three hundred strength players in the server, and at least half of them will be awakened in another month.
What a huge market that is!
When he thought of this, Brother Levin was excited.
Hearing Brother Levin's proposal, Lao Bai thought it made sense, so he readily agreed.
"Okay!"
After saying that, Lao Bai didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and picked up the machine gun weighing nearly 50 kilograms, and walked out with big strides.
The might of the power system is indeed not exaggerated. In his hand, the machine gun is as light as a baseball bat.
Brother Levin and Brother Ceso brought a few test ammunition, and Fang Chang and Midnight Killing Chicken also followed curiously.
The group soon arrived at the Goblin Technology Rocket Test Site on the edge of the industrial zone.
There were concrete slags everywhere, and a five-meter-high building had been blown to pieces by continuous explosions.
When they arrived, Mosquito, carrying half of the rocket tail, was walking out of the ruins.
Seeing this large group of people, Mosquito was stunned.
"What are you doing here?"
Lao Bai said with a chuckle.
"Brother, can you lend me the space?"
In this winter, all the aliens are hiding in the house. It's not easy to find a target on the street.
But Mosquito has enough targets here.
In order to ensure the killing effect of the rocket, Mosquito made dummies with wood, and many of them were hung with steel plates to simulate the armor of the Predator and Mutant styles.
Since he was a carpenter, Mosquito was very good at doing these jobs. He even improved the tools and made a nail gun, which benefited the carpenters in the entire industrial zone.
Although he was very dissatisfied with these people interfering with his experiments, Mosquito was also curious about the power of the big guy in Lao Bai's hand, so he didn't say anything and stood aside to watch.
"How about using a 20mm thick steel plate directly? See if you can penetrate it." Glancing at Brother Levin next to him, Mosquito's heart moved and he muttered loudly.
"Isn't that nonsense?" Brother Levin rolled his eyes when he heard the nonsense of Mosquito.
Brother Ceso, who was standing aside to help Lao Bai adjust the weapon, couldn't help but complain.
"That's right! If you can't even penetrate a 20mm steel plate, what kind of cannon is that!"
Mosquito laughed and asked curiously.
"Then tell me, how deep is your penetration?"
Brother Levin laughed and spread his five fingers.
"Within 100 meters, 50mm, 500 meters, 20mm."
"Tsk, brag!" Mosquito rolled his eyes, with an expression of "I don't believe you", "This is more powerful than Barrett!"
Brother Levin continued to laugh.
"Nonsense! I said it's a cannon, don't you see how long our rifling is, how long our bullet is, and how much powder is charged!"
"How much?"
Brother Levin shut up and stopped talking.
He felt that this guy was trying to get their business secrets.
That was the charge ratio they had wasted a lot of budget to figure out.
If you want it, bring the money!
Mosquito saw that he couldn't get any words out of him, and looked regretful.
At this time, Lao Bai had already mastered the trick of using this machine gun. He put the magazine protruding backwards on his shoulder and confirmed with Brother Ce Suo next to him.
"Is it already set to single-shot mode?"
Brother Ce Suo said as he stepped back.
"It's set. Pick a target and shoot it and you'll know!"
"Okay."
Lao Bai excitedly raised the long barrel and aimed the mechanical sight at the dummy about 100 meters away from him.
The dummy had a 20mm thick steel plate hanging on its chest. Its physique imitated that of a 1.8-meter-tall strong man, and the shape was done quite well.
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Lao Bai tightened his muscles all over his body, prepared to deal with the recoil, and pulled the trigger in his hand at the same time.
Bang!
A thunderous sound exploded.
A half-meter-long fire snake shot out from the muzzle, and the recoil that followed spread throughout the body and instantly rushed to the soles of the feet.
I saw a piece of snow foam at the heel of Lao Bai, spreading backwards and flying, splashing on the faces of Mosquito and Brother Levin.
The ground trembled!
The wooden dummy in the distance seemed to be hit by a truck. With a bang, it exploded into shattered wood chips, and the steel plate that was hit flew out, and fell to the ground in an unrecognizable shape.
"Fuck! This power is quite strong!" Mosquito's eyes were straight, and he forgot to wipe the snow off his face.
Just now he was a little unconvinced, this broken thing can penetrate 50mm at a hundred meters, but now he is a little convinced!
Lao Bai, who was carrying a machine gun, and Fang Chang and Midnight Killing Chicken who were watching on the side, were also dumbfounded.
This power is too strong!
The two factory managers of the No. 81 Steel Plant laughed, their faces full of pride.
"You're kidding! I told you this thing is a cannon! Do you know what a cannon is?"
"That's right! Do you think the X-4 fiber's explosive velocity bonus is a joke?"
Originally, he was still very proud, but when he heard his teammate leak the secret, Brother Levin suddenly shuddered and reached out to cover Brother Ceso's mouth.
"Okay, stop talking!"
"Woo woo woo!"
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, it's the information publicly available on the official website.
They just referred to the information that can be found in reality and figured out a more reliable ratio, which allows the barrel to withstand the chamber pressure while making the initial velocity of the shell close to the maximum.
Mosquito swallowed his saliva.
Although he had heard that X-4 fiber can replace ordinary plant fiber to make nitrocellulose to obtain "explosive velocity bonus", he had never really tried it.
After all, this is a bit contrary to his common sense.
But I didn't expect it to be true?
Not far away, Old White had already taken off his exoskeleton.
The previous shell gave him a rough idea of the recoil of this weapon.
Next, he was going to try to shoot naked while standing!
Everyone around him stopped talking and looked at him.
There was another thunderous bang!
With the machine gun on his shoulder, Old White's body swayed back suddenly, but he still managed to hold on with the strength of his muscles.
"Hiss, the recoil is a bit strong..."
"But I can hold on!"
Old White put down the machine gun, opened his collar and took a look at his right chest.
There was a red mark as big as a shoe sole, but there was no bruise or other injury.
His current level is LV12, with 19 points of strength, and one point short of muscle strength, which is equivalent to four times that of an ordinary person!
With such terrifying muscle strength, it is no exaggeration to say that he is now half a mutant.
And it's the kind whose skin hasn't turned green!
If "Boundary Breakthrough" was turned on, the body probably wouldn't have shaken at all just now.
Fang Chang couldn't help but sigh.
"You are worthy of being the best man in the server. I will call you the strongest one in the future!"
Lao Bai chuckled.
"Thank you, thank you."
Midnight Killer Chicken walked forward with envy, stretched out his hand to touch the machine gun that was placed on the ground, and the barrel burned the snow and produced white steam.
After weighing it, it was not too heavy.
Midnight Killer Chicken looked back.
"Can I try it?"
Brother Levin nodded excitedly and said generously.
"Try it, you're welcome!"
I didn't expect "Awakening" to be so awesome.
If players of the power system can withstand the recoil after awakening, wouldn't their weapons be sold like crazy? !
This makes much more money than selling axes!
As expected.
The eternal god of the power system!
After getting permission from Brother Levin, Midnight Chicken Killer also tried a shot.
However, his situation was a little more embarrassing than that of Old White. Not only was the barrel of the gun lifted up by the recoil, but his body also staggered backwards and almost fell.
After all, he had just awakened. LV10 usually only had 17 points of strength, which was not as good as Old White who was already level 12.
Without these 2 points of strength, he really couldn't bear it without opening the talent.
From this, it can be inferred that the best use attribute of this weapon should be 20 strength and 10 constitution. Or as a fixed weapon, everyone should be able to use it.
"Good stuff!"
Midnight Chicken Killer was excited, but soon calmed down, shook his head, and put down the machine gun.
"It's a pity that with such a large recoil, it is definitely impossible to hold it and fire continuously."
"It's even more impossible to hold it and rush forward."
It's strong.
But it doesn't match the "Berserker" talent he unlocked!
Hearing his words, Brother Levin almost couldn't help but spray.
"What's the point of you charging forward with such a big thing? The barrel is poking people in the face."
Brother Ce Suo couldn't help but complain.
"That's right! You don't understand art, you should just play with your axe!"
Midnight Killing Chicken: "..."
Damn!
What's wrong with playing with an axe?
Look down on melee players?
Come and show me if you can!
Lao Bai and Fang Chang walked over and looked at the two factory managers of the No. 81 Steel Plant.
"How is it? Is it OK?"
"Can you change the machine gun to a single shot?"
The two factory managers looked at each other.
"It's changed to a single shot, so why call it a machine gun."
"Indeed."
Not caring about such trivial issues, Lao Bai said with a hearty smile.
"What do you think it should be called?"
Brother Levin thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly fell on the modified chest armor of Lao Bai's exoskeleton, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Cavalry Lance!"
Looking at Brother Ce Suo standing aside, Brother Levin continued with a sharp look in his eyes.
"How about calling it the 'Cavalry Lance' anti-tank rifle?"
He estimated that the cost was about 900 silver, and the selling price could be set at 1,000 or 950.
The ammunition is the same as the machine gun, and there is no need to modify it.
When the number of awakened players increases, this equipment will definitely sell like crazy!
The brain waves quickly matched, and Brother Ce Suo excitedly raised his thumb.
"Okay, brother, I think it's okay! But it's 20mm, so it should be considered a cannon, right?"
"Tsk, stop nitpicking, just be cool!"
Looking at the two men, Mosquito standing next to them was envious.
Obviously, he also saw the commercial potential of this thing.
Damn it!
They are all making a fortune from arms!
It seems that he has to work harder.
…
As the end of December approaches, the "Wartime Regulations" have entered the 25th day after implementation.
If there is no extension, this regulation has already gone through less than half of the time.
In the past 25 days, the steel production capacity and the number of workers who can read have doubled in the new industrial zone.
Thanks to the night school and study group system implemented in the new industrial zone, after 12 hours of work, the foremen in the factory will organize the workers to learn literacy, arithmetic, and geometric drawing.
Especially literacy.
According to the regulations of the new industrial zone, knowing basic characters is one of the main assessment criteria for promotion from apprentice to formal worker.
Once promoted to formal worker, not only will the salary double, the daily wage will increase from two silver coins to four silver coins, and you can also sign a long-term and stable labor contract with the factory, and even have the hope of becoming a foreman directly employed by the shelter.
Those foremen with VMs are so enviable. Not only can they chat and laugh with the blue jackets, but I heard that their daily wages have risen to 5 silver coins!
Therefore, the workers are very enthusiastic about learning, especially the refugees from afar.
They are the ones who are most eager to stay.
They are also the ones who are most eager to gain the recognition of the "indigenous people" of this territory, the blue jackets!
In addition to the development of the industrial zone, what makes Chu Guang most gratified is his little players.
So far, 13 players have awakened.
Among them, 5 are strength, 3 are agility, and there are 2 perception, 2 physique and 1 intelligence.
This includes the player who often walks on the edge of life and death and becomes the second awakened perception player in the whole server after Ye Shi.
The talents unlocked by the two are pretty good. With their personal playing styles, they should be able to play a lot of cool operations.
Then there is the elf king Fugui who is keen on hunting, the editor of "Mole Daily" Canyon Runaway Mole, the physical system cabinet tomato scrambled eggs who always rushes to the front, and Lao Na who practices internal skills.
These are the players who entered the game early, two agility systems and two physical systems.
A group of players who entered the game later also reached LV9, which is close to the edge of breakthrough. It is expected that they will break through one after another within a month.
However, the intelligence system is different from the other systems. The polarization is quite serious, and there is even a clear fault in the advanced area.
So far, among all the intelligence system players, only Kuangfeng has reached LV10.
Among the remaining intelligence system players, there is not even a LV9, but some are at the peak of LV8.
In addition, what surprised Chu Guang was that the life profession players of the intelligence system seemed to upgrade faster than the combat profession.
For example, Teng Teng has been at LV8 for a while, and the breakthrough is just around the corner according to the progress bar.
Maybe the first awakened intelligence type will be a life-professional player who doesn't go to the front line or fight monsters?
Players on the official forum have argued a lot about whether this is reasonable.
Especially Brother Mole, who opened a special post for this matter.
"Some thoughts on the Intelligence system, written on the eve of Alpha 1.0"
"Hello, everyone. I am your big-nosed mole. What I write today is not a strategy guide, but a little experience and understanding."
"As more and more players awaken, the Strength system has once again become the planner's favorite son and the undisputed son of the version."
"And the Intelligence system, as always, has been sitting on the bench without any surprises, becoming the only sequence that has been weak from beginning to end since the closed beta of the game, and has become the dear younger brother of the Alpha closed beta version."
"I have predicted the rise of the Intelligence system more than once, and have been ruthlessly slapped in the face by the planning boss more than once. From the arrival of the Pioneer to the appearance of the scientific expedition team's gameplay, the seemingly rising opportunities time and time again did not benefit all players in the end, and only a few European emperors got the advantage. And even the European emperors of the Intelligence system need to spend a hundred times more effort to barely catch up with the taillights of the other sequences."
"The dark cloud over the intelligence system has never dissipated. Even if one or two players occasionally unlock different ways of playing, their experience cannot be applied to others."
"All the common sense or conventions about MMRPG seem to be invalid for the intelligence system. It is like an abandoned sequence, and perhaps the planner did not intend to let it play a role at all."
"After all, its role is indeed difficult to reflect intuitively, and the gameplay that can be expanded is not as rich as that of other sequences."
"I thought so at first, but then I gradually began to realize that maybe it was not that the planner deliberately ignored the intelligence system, but that this sequence was designed like this."
"Fighting monsters and upgrading is not all about the game, just like life is not just about going to school and getting promoted... From the moment you enter the game, you can feel from many places that the game operator is deliberately creating this atmosphere."
"They made "Wasteland OL" into a nearly real world, making NPCs like people, and in addition to elements about violence and destruction, it also provides its players with a completely different path, that is, creation."
"Use your creativity and wisdom to change this declining planet and plant the flag of the Human Union on the edge of the Kuiper Belt."
"Perhaps, this is the answer to the version that belongs to the intelligence department."
"It is also the Easter egg left for us by the game producer."

After reading the post from beginning to end, Chu Guang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Talent..."
To be honest, he hadn't thought about it so much.
But there seems to be nothing wrong with this interpretation.
Chu Guang added a highlight to the post and continued to scroll down in the forum.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a post that was completely different from the current hot topic in the forum.
"New Year's Day is coming soon, where do you plan to celebrate the holiday?"
The post was posted by Yaya.
Since the beginning of winter, this guy has been very active on the forum. After all, for her who is not good at fighting and only good at giving away for free, there are too few things to do in the game.
New Year's Day...
Looking at the post, Chu Guang's face suddenly showed some melancholy.
This is an important holiday.
He still remembers that he died in March, came to this world in April, and found Shelter 404 in September.
A year is about to pass...
He has no relatives worth remembering, his life is very hurried, and his friends are basically on the Internet, so after crossing here, he didn't even think about finding a way home.
What to do back?
At least in the shelter, he collects rent from others.
Drag the mouse to scroll down, and someone in the post said that he planned to OB for a day to spend time with his family, and some people said it didn't matter, anyway, the time in the game did not conflict with real life, at most he would go online a little later.
Chu Guang stared at the post for a while, and suddenly spoke.
"Xiao Qi."
Xiao Qi's voice floated gently from the side.
"I'm here, master."
Chu Guang thought for a while and said.
"New Year's Day is coming soon. Do you think we should hold an event in the game... such as celebrating a festival or something?"
Xiao Qi: "Eh? The same celebration as before? But Master... we don't seem to have enough food."
"I know," Chu Guang sighed softly, "but we have to commemorate the passing of the 211th year of the Wasteland Era... Is there any cheaper way to celebrate?"
I heard that there were many festivals in the pre-war society. After all, the average working time per person was less than 300 hours a year.
Coupled with the dual prosperity of culture and technology, there was a festival almost every two days.
But there is no such good thing after the Wasteland Era.
There is no good day to celebrate here, and even the climate is often messed up.
Coupled with the cultural gap, many people know nothing about the Human Union except using the Human Union language. They only know that if they don't work, they will have no food to eat, and if they don't pick up garbage, they will die.
Some small and medium-sized survivor settlements that mainly rely on farming have selectively retained some festivals to celebrate this year's harvest and pray for a good harvest next year, but this obviously does not include Beth Street, where scavenging and hunting are the main livelihoods, and Brown Farm, where most people are serfs.
It just so happens that the survivor settlements in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City are basically these two types, with at most one post-style settlement that does business with merchants.
Chu Guang has been in the wasteland for so long, and he has never seen the scavengers in Beth Street have any festivals.
But if there is a festival, it will not only boost people's morale, but also increase people's sense of belonging and cultural identity.
After all, in addition to players, there are refugees from all directions in his territory.
There must be a way to unite them.
Festivals and celebrations are perfect.
Xiaoqi was silent for a while, and I don't know whether he went to use the search tool or was thinking about this problem seriously.
After a long time, the well-behaved voice floated back weakly.
"Xiao Qi thinks that since this is a wasteland... there is no need to completely refer to the festivals on Earth."
"How about... just take the opportunity of celebration to encourage everyone to try some new food?"
"Then in the name of the event, give an award to the most creative recipe or something."
Try some new food?
Give an award to the most creative recipe?
Chu Guang was slightly stunned.
For a moment, he even changed his evaluation of Xiao Qi.
This guy...
Maybe he is a genius! ?
