"Make ten bombs, and they must have a power equivalent to at least one kilogram of TNT?"
After reading the task details, Xu Zhengyang felt overwhelmed.
This time, the task was one that would be easier to complete in a post-apocalyptic world than in the current one.
If it were in the apocalypse, with so many resources in his shelter, finding someone to trade for a few bombs would be as easy as going to the supermarket to buy a bottle of cola.
But now...
"I can't possibly go to Siam to ask Yan Xiaowei for help again, can I?" Xu Zhengyang frowned.
Just as Xu Zhengyang was feeling troubled, suddenly, an idea struck him. He remembered a book he had read out of boredom some time ago.
This book was printed during a sensitive period in the last century to prepare for a potential outbreak of full-scale nuclear war.
It not only recorded various military skills but also included instructions on how to manufacture some simple weapons.
At that time, Xu Zhengyang hadn't thought about making bombs, so he had only skimmed through it and moved on.
But now...
Recalling this, Xu Zhengyang hurried to the library to search for that book.
...
Ten minutes later.
"Fertilizer, diesel, white sugar..."
Xu Zhengyang stared at the bomb-making steps recorded in the book, dumbfounded.
He never expected that the materials needed to make a bomb were so common, basically everyday items that were easily accessible! (Details can't be elaborated here; interested readers can search for themselves; the materials are indeed readily available.) "Although the power of this homemade bomb might not be impressive, the system only requires power, not size.
In that case, if the quality isn't enough, I'll just compensate with quantity! Miracles come from hard work!"
With that, Xu Zhengyang excitedly rushed out of the shelter!
*Generally, if someone goes to a gas station with a gas can to buy gasoline, they are unlikely to be sold any. But if they go with a gas can to buy diesel, no one will give them a hard time.
Under normal pressure and temperature, even if you directly try to ignite diesel with a lighter, it won't catch fire.
Because diesel is relatively safe, Xu Zhengyang faced no difficulties at the gas station and successfully bought the diesel he needed.
As for the other materials, Xu Zhengyang already had them stocked in his supplies.
So, once he returned to the shelter, Xu Zhengyang used a remote control to operate the GX-1 Engineering Robot, bringing all the materials to the old red brick building at the lumber yard to start making bombs!...
The process of making bombs wasn't particularly difficult.
However, Xu Zhengyang's makeshift workshop was quite dangerous, with the potential for accidents at any moment.
But since he wasn't doing it himself, he wasn't too worried.
As for the Engineering Robot...
With its thick armor, it should be able to withstand the impact of an explosion, right?...
Half an hour later.
After Xu Zhengyang mixed the various materials in the correct proportions, he packed them into a PVC pipe with a diameter of three centimeters and a length of ten centimeters.
Next, he attached a fuse and sealed the end with clay.
After completing all this, Xu Zhengyang eagerly opened his task list:
[0/10]
Seeing that the task list hadn't changed, Xu Zhengyang thought he had failed. So, he operated the Engineering Robot to ignite it and immediately threw the bomb over the courtyard wall.
"Boom!!!"
With a loud bang, the courtyard wall of the lumber yard shook!
Such a loud noise startled even Xu Zhengyang below! Fortunately, no one lived in the northern suburbs now; otherwise, with that noise, the police would definitely come to investigate! "Did it really explode successfully? Why isn't the task progress reflecting?" Xu Zhengyang scratched his head in confusion.
Soon, he realized that the power of the bomb he made wasn't enough to meet the one-kilogram TNT standard! "Since the quality is lacking, I'll just pile on the quantity!"
Xu Zhengyang said, remotely controlling the Engineering Robot to reload the explosives! Originally, he had used a three-centimeter diameter, ten-centimeter long PVC pipe to hold the explosives.
Since one wasn't enough, he would string together ten PVC pipes of the same specifications!...
Moments later, after Xu Zhengyang finished assembling the new bomb group, he checked again.
Sure enough!
His task list changed from [0/10] to [1/10]! Seeing that his homemade bomb indeed met the task requirements, even Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but feel a bit excited!
So he didn't waste any time and quickly assembled the second bomb!...
Half an hour later.
Under the operation of the Engineering Robot, Xu Zhengyang's main task was finally completed successfully, and the familiar system subtitles appeared before him: [Main Task: Bomb (Completed)]
[Reward: QA-3 Military Combat Suit]
...
[QA-3 Military Combat Suit]
[Skills]
(Tactical Helmet: After equipping the combat suit, you can switch between normal vision/night vision/thermal imaging at any time) (Composite Fiber Fabric: After equipping the combat suit, your defense is greatly enhanced, even allowing immunity to blade attacks)
[Note: The composite fiber fabric has three built-in bulletproof plate slots] (Exoskeleton Armor: After equipping the combat suit, your strength +2, agility +1)
(Optical Camouflage: After equipping the combat suit, you can enter optical camouflage at any time)
[Evaluation: Standard combat suit for the 22nd Century Longfeng Special Forces]
After seeing the attributes of the combat suit with Detection, Xu Zhengyang's eyes widened! "Tactical helmet!"
"Composite fiber!"
"Optical camouflage!"
"Exoskeleton armor!"
Each of these four items, taken individually, was remarkable! Together, they formed a powerful combination.
"What a great item!"
Xu Zhengyang couldn't wait to put on the combat suit, then followed the operating instructions to try out each function of the suit!...
After a long time.
Once Xu Zhengyang had enough fun, he reluctantly took off the combat suit.
After personally using it, Xu Zhengyang confirmed that with this combat suit, along with his Detection and Total Concentration, two god-tier skills, even if negotiations with Yan Xiaowei in Siam fell through, he could still deal with the Yan family's bodyguards and leave calmly!
After removing the combat suit, Xu Zhengyang had grasped the performance of the QA-3 Military Combat Suit:
"This combat suit is great in every way, but to keep it lightweight, the battery isn't very large, so the endurance isn't great.
The tactical helmet doesn't require much power; even if used continuously, it can last for 24 hours;
But if the optical camouflage function is activated, it can only be used for three hours;
If the exoskeleton armor is fully activated, the combat suit's power will be depleted in a maximum of forty-five minutes."
At this point, Xu Zhengyang felt relieved, "Fortunately, the designer of the combat suit considered that soldiers couldn't always be in a safe rear area to recharge the suit.
So the charging protocol for this combat suit is very well adapted.
No matter the current or voltage, this combat suit can perfectly adapt, which makes things much more convenient for me."
