Chapter 171 Global heat, the bullet is finally ready!
The wind was still blowing and the snow was still falling. Sitting in the wind and snow, Sumo could see more and more things that he had forgotten because of the rush for many days.
For example, there are three sets of brand new cotton-padded clothes in the storage space.
Another example is that the snowflakes, clouds and strong wind in the sky all play their own roles without interfering with each other, forming an extremely strange climate.
Of course there are also reflections from reviewing other lone wolf shelters.
At present, all "lone wolves", including the number one shelter, rely on terrain to build shelters.
Few, or perhaps more and more, people are choosing to abandon the houses created using game panels and build their own shelters instead.
“In addition to chatting and trading secret realms, most people have begun to find ways to get rid of the game panel.”
“But this is also right. If humans put all their focus on the game, they will always Your neck will be stuck!”
Abandoning the shelter built by the game panel not only means losing the functions of “upgrade”, “extraordinary blessing”, “scalability” and so on.
At the same time, some modular technologies that may be touched upon in the future will also be restricted, seriously affecting the speed of development.
This is why even large shelters should maintain several playhouses.
The first update has cut off the production system and added most restrictions, including paid use of production.
There are also payment restrictions on private message chats.
It is precisely because of this update that most people have lost confidence in the game panel and choose to try to get rid of the control of the game.
After all, if one day the shelter you upgraded is recycled, wouldn't it be a sudden death!
Even Sumo didn't think much about this, but now it has become more and more exaggerated in the mouths of some "conspiracy theorists".
"Game, system, individual, race"
Carefully figure out the connection between these terms, try to think of possible points that may be involved, and wait until my stomach growls at noon. , Sumo realized that so much time had passed.
The "storm" during the day is not strong, which also gives all the creatures living on this land a chance to breathe.
Seeing that Oreo was still sleeping in his arms, Somo simply walked down the hillside, returned to the tool table, took out a few wooden boards, and built a small nest large enough to accommodate Oreo at the entrance of the garage.
The Big and Little Sparks also followed up with a coo at this time. Seeing Oreo lying motionless on the ground, they trotted over anxiously, lying next to Oreo and calling.
"It's okay, you two watch it, just call me if anything happens!"
The temperature on the first floor of the shelter has been frighteningly low, especially when opening the garage door, the cold wind After pouring it in, even with a combat uniform, Somo was shivering from the cold.
It wasn’t until I returned to the second floor, took out all the brand new cotton clothes and trousers, put them on, and turned on the heater around my waist that I felt much more comfortable.
Oreo needed to be cold. Sitting in the base, Sumo couldn't turn on the air conditioner and heat it up. He could only sit in front of the workbench and forcefully concentrate on continuing to study the technology tree for upgrading weapons and ammunition.
The prepared nitrocellulose, also known as nitrocellulose, is extremely safe when placed in the storage space.
After nearly a day of collecting and knocking out the ethylene from the well, Sumo began to think of ways to make the last two important items -
Ethanol and ether!
The production of ethanol was developed on the basis of wine making.
As far back as ancient times, people have been fermenting starchy substances to make wine. When wine was distilled in the 12th century, alcohol was separated from wine for the first time.
Until the 1930s, fermentation was the only industrial production method for ethanol.
Until about 1930, Union Carbide established the first industrial device that used ethylene, a by-product of thermal cracking of petroleum, as raw material, and then absorbed and hydrolyzed it with sulfuric acid to produce ethanol.
This famous indirect hydration method of ethylene is convenient and simple, and has significant advantages. Once it appeared, it became the best method for preparing ethanol.
There was a large amount of high-purity sulfuric acid in the shelter, and it was impossible to go out on a snowy day. After eating some pancakes to regain his strength, Sumo began to concentrate on making them.
It didn't take long for a large amount of ethanol to be prepared.
As for making ether, it is even simpler. According to the reaction formula, if you want to prepare ether, you only need to break one O-H bond and one C-O bond.
With a large number of experimental instruments and the path trodden by predecessors, the biggest difficulty in smokeless gunpowder is actually just the right "cotton".
As for diphenylamine, which is used to prepare stabilizers, it only takes up a small amount in smokeless gunpowder.
After some research, he found that the system was not expensive. With a wave of his hand, Sumo bought enough to prepare 20,000 rounds of bullets for only 20 survival points.
"Press into tablets. Cut into strips, dry and harden"
Step by step, Somo worked extremely patiently and completely followed the scientific preparation concept. By the evening, all the collodion was finally completed!
The smokeless gunpowder neatly cut into strips is placed on the workbench. No matter which angle you look at it, it has a different kind of beauty.
After working hard for many days, Sumo's hands have become slightly rough.
Especially when touching smokeless gunpowder, the feeling of friction is even stronger.
"Smokeless gunpowder! It's something that hasn't been researched for centuries, but it only took me one day from preparation to completion!" Standing on the shoulders of giants and looking at the world, at this moment, Sumo was extremely lucky to be there. The knowledge received intentionally or unintentionally in peaceful times.
It may be a novel, it may be a Zhihu answer, or it may even be a marketing account mixed with a lot of useless information.
These information flows constitute the huge knowledge reserve of modern people, which can be quickly transformed into "strength" after arriving in the apocalyptic wasteland!
With modular machine tools, there is no need to wait for all the smokeless powder to be dried and hardened.
3000 rounds of ammunition require 18 units of copper and 2 units of lead.
Currently, there are a lot of copper blocks in the base, which are used to prepare the most important ammunition. Sumo didn't feel bad at all and went directly to the ground to carry enough copper blocks and place them next to the machine tool.
After putting all the smokeless gunpowder and lead blocks into the storage space of the machine tool, Sumo clicked to prepare ammunition with an anxious mood.
The current stored power of the machine tool is 50 kilowatt-hours, and after a day of charging, it has reached the peak value.
Preparing 3,000 rounds of bullets requires 23 kilowatt-hours of electricity. There is not much preparation work. When the green light turns on, with a sacred face, both arms press the manufacturing button at the same time, and the familiar round iron cover appears again!
Knock, knock, knock
Battlings of abnormal noises appeared, and at the same time, the chain in the machine tool began to rotate.
Within two minutes, when a circular incision about the size of a fist appeared on the iron cover, the harvest time had finally arrived!
Bang!
Dang!
A brass-colored bullet was spit out by the machine tool and flew into the steel collection bucket in front of the machine tool, making a "sounding" crisp sound.
Then, just like corn entering a popcorn machine, more and more bullets were spit out, crashed into the barrel, and were automatically arranged into a neat shape by the steel belt inside.
Sitting in front of the collection bucket of the machine tool, Su Mo held his head and quietly looked at the neat 5.56 bullets inside, feeling a wave of happiness in his heart.
If you are poor, you can use tactics to intersperse, if you are rich, you can cover it with firepower!
With these 3,000 bullets, Sumo is confident that he can stop thousands of troops by himself, not to mention kobolds, lions, and tauren, which everyone calls "tiger".
Technology has given individual strength a terrifying improvement that foreigners cannot understand.
Although I don’t know who will be the first to reveal human technological weapons to foreigners, at this moment, Sumo believes that
he is already ahead of everyone in the world !
"A bunch of clowns! How can the honor of being the world's number one man be secured by these little guys?"
While waiting, I opened the live broadcast page and looked at the title of the live broadcast room above, Sumo grinned and sneered twice.
In the morning, only six of the 20 live broadcast rooms had the word "Suma" hanging on them, and they were accompanied by various mocking titles.
By the afternoon, this number had intensified. Between the changes in the list, 14 live broadcast rooms had changed their names, creating a buzz.
Compared to large shelters, these new lone wolves on the list are like upstarts who suddenly won the lottery, trying their best to win the most eyeballs and attention in a limited time.
"Fame is like poison covered with honey. If you are not careful, you will poison yourself if you eat it!"
Shaked his head, just when Sumo was about to quit, But his sharp eyes saw that the live broadcast room ranked fourth looked familiar.
"Feng Mengyue? Why does this name feel so familiar?"
After trying to open the private message panel and searching for it, Sumo finally remembered the relationship between the two of them when they first came to this wasteland. There were also transactions between them.
The rare glass was bought from Feng Mengyue.
Meeting an old acquaintance, Sumo didn't think much about it. He saw the title "The Only Game Refuge" and clicked on it with interest.
As the only game refuge in the top twenty, Feng Mengyue’s live broadcast room naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Moreover, in the attributes in the upper right corner, there are actually 23 people in her refuge. In a live broadcast room with 3-6 people, she feels like she stands out from the crowd.
"What a neat house, with windproof walls built on all sides. No wonder the average temperature is 9 degrees!"
Changing the perspective, looking at the six houses neatly arranged on the ground, And the cave in the middle, Sumo nodded, confirming the strength of his old acquaintance.
The construction of the windbreak wall takes no effort. We mix mud and weeds, bury various large stones into the soil, and smear the gaps. It is very strong and resistant to grooves.
Changing the perspective again and coming to the house near the periphery, Sumo finally saw Feng Mengyue's true appearance for the first time.
"It's a bit strange. There is a big difference between the feeling and the photo!"
Feng Mengyue's photo is the kind of person who looks very heroic at first glance, but the woman sitting in the house at this time can actually I can see the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman.
“I saw a lot of comments asking Sumo. I believe that strength is strength and ranking is ranking. Living a long time in the wasteland with abundant materials is a symbol of strength. Don’t I was misled by those anchors!"
No matter which live broadcast room you are in, no one can get around the word "Suma". After watching it for a while, Su Mo shook his head helplessly and exited the live broadcast room.
"I have supplies, I also have weapons, as for the temperature"
"Sorry, I have one too!"
Watching the last brass bullet jump into the collection bucket and being neatly discharged by the steel belt, in front of the machine tool, he glanced at the air conditioner on the third floor, and Sumo revealed gave a hint of smile.
