Chapter 951 The production line opens, the first mass-produced rifle!
Although this album was newly printed today, it still smells like ink.
But compare with the pictures that come with the product.
Some of the products in front are obviously processed pictures, pictures of exoskeletons
Why do they look so newly taken?
It's obviously not the same painting style, okay?
"Ahem, that's it." Walter coughed lightly and explained slightly awkwardly: "Some of the previous products were brought out from the foundation, so the pictures and introductions are the same as before. The latter are obtained from occasional transactions during our travels, but please don’t worry, as long as the goods are sold by our foundation’s caravan, there will be quality assurance”
“And you can also see the price. It’s very low, it’s like we’re on clearance.”
To sum it up, what kind of bike do you want at this price?
Even if there is really a problem with this mechanical exoskeleton, someone will come to the door and push it on the head of the Foundation's caravan.
The price of things is so cheap, it’s very conscientious to share some risks if you want to buy them.
Sumo, who had roughly guessed the source of this thing, showed an uncertain smile on his face, nodded slightly and said:
"Well, these clearance items are exactly what we need."
It seems that the Red Spider Caravan did not suppress its loneliness last night and participated in the disputes in the western suburbs?
The skills of this group of people are really impressive. They were able to obtain a complete exoskeleton armor from Pingtan Shelter.
Seeing that Sumo didn't intend to continue asking, Walter breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously:
"Manager, if you are still satisfied with these products, I wonder if we can start negotiating specific ones." Have you cooperated? "
Although this manager of Tianyuan Shelter is not as difficult to deal with as expected, he is much easier to get along with than the managers of several large shelters that he has negotiated with before.
But for some reason, Walter always felt like he was being seen through.
This is simply too weird.
"Of course, this is what we are going to talk about next." Sumo nodded and continued: "Captain Sean reached a preliminary agreement with me yesterday. To put it simply, you need a lot of basic materials and some labor. Go to Qinggang City to help recycle that moss, right?”
Walter nodded seriously.
“Yes, we may need fifty male workers to enter Qinggang City for collection work. Each person will be paid at the rate of two commercial coupons per day. In addition, we will be responsible for their daily needs during the work period. , such as food and accommodation, there is enough space on the Red Spider Chariot.”
“As for the price of materials, Captain Sean said that you don’t want to use commercial coupons to settle the bill, and you want to directly exchange the materials on our list. Items, that’s fine too, but we still need to find a relay to anchor the value. Do you think we should use our coupons or your shelter’s currency?”
The foundation’s caravan has already been used. I haven't worried about trading items for a long time.
Whether you go to a pre-war city or a gathering place built after the war, coupons are always hard currency.
This is the first time since the establishment of the Red Spider Caravan that commercial coupons are used to exchange local currency.
However, it was somewhat different from what Walter had expected. This kind-hearted manager didn’t seem to like this approach.
“Relay?”
Sumo shook his head with a smile.
"This is too troublesome. With relays, we have to agree on the corresponding value of each item. In the end, don't I exchange the materials for your coupons, and then use the coupons for consumption?"
< br> "Do you think this works? Let's just talk about an overall number. What is the specific number of materials required by the Red Spider Caravan, and what is your ideal price? If the price multiplied by the two can be Once it's settled, you don't have to worry about subsequent transactions anymore. "
"And you also know that the coupons you give to my residents will still be in my hands in the end, and I can use them to buy them. Your products. How about you just package everyone’s salary and living costs together and give them to me. You don’t have to worry about their food and daily life. How about I add the money to the price of the material packaging and purchase it together. ?”
When he heard the words “too troublesome,” Walter still had a twitching expression on his face.
But after hearing Soma’s explanation later, he said thoughtfully:
"Do you want to use postpaid?"
Sumo was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face.
This Walter is really a smart man, and he immediately heard the deeper meaning of his words.
When dealing with such people, there is no need to be secretive.
“Of course, I can’t escape my shelter here. As long as we reach a cooperation agreement and the Red Spider Caravan can ensure that we can deliver enough materials, why not use it first, right? ?”
"And this deep-level cooperative relationship will greatly increase the friendship between us. Tianyuan Sanctuary will remember the help of the Red Spider Caravan, and we will be your trading partners forever in the future."
If It's on Blue Star, and the friendship of the gathering place is nothing compared to the Foundation's caravan.
But here, Sean gave special instructions before coming here.
Even if the selling price is lowered, the friendship between the two parties must be maintained as much as possible.
After thinking about it in his mind, Walter smiled.
"Okay, that's as you wish."
Suma stretched out his right hand and the two held it together.
“Thank you!”
After drawing everything together and calculating the price, the Red Spider Caravan quickly calculated the amount of materials.
The first is steel, which requires at least twenty tons. The Red Spider Chariot must reserve a lot of repair materials in advance for the harsh terrain it may encounter next, and prepare several tracks for replacement.
Secondly, other alloy materials, including the rarer tungsten, are also needed in large quantities.
Packaging these things together, Walter gave a very sincere price.
Twenty thousand commercial coupons.
Three technologies to choose from.
Five hundred daily necessities to choose from.
Ten tons of starch and ten tons of protein are mixed into a nutritional paste that can feed two thousand people for a month.
Those coupons can be used to purchase goods according to the prices in the trading album.
For example, that exoskeleton armor only costs 750 coupons, and a total of eleven units is completely within the budget.
"On behalf of the Tianyuan Territory, I accept the offer from the Red Spider Caravan."
Having met his psychological expectations, Sumo was not greedy and immediately drew up a proposal in accordance with the foundation's standards. contract.
The signing process was very simple, and the only witnesses throughout the process were Chen Shen and another staff member of the caravan, but the whole process made people feel a solemn atmosphere that can only be found in the civilized era.
Indeed.
If you want to restore civilization in this strange land, a sense of ritual is still needed.
It is these seemingly cumbersome things that subtly create a huge and well-regulated market environment.
With the signed contract in hand, Walter was satisfied and took his people back to resume his life.
Two days later, with the first batch of materials delivered by Tianyuan Territory, the Red Spider Caravan will transport most of the trading goods in advance, as if the two parties have made friends.
"This manager is really refreshing and much easier to negotiate than we expected." As soon as he left the dungeon, Walter couldn't help but sigh.
Joseph, who was pretending to be a staff member next to him, was calm and still stared at the new industrial zone.
“The feeling here is a little different to me.”
“Different?”
"I have traveled far and wide, so I can have a rough idea of what kind of gathering place and where I will end up."
"But Tianyuan Shelter is a little different. Maybe it's another place." A Buck!"
"Buck?" Walter looked surprised: "There is potential in the Holy City, right?"
The famous one on Blue Star? The holy city of Burke.
At first it was just a small gathering place with only more than 20 people. But in just thirty years, they had gathered a population of more than one million people from scratch and built a super-large city that covered an area no less than that of the pre-war era.
It is rumored that the level of technology within it has completely surpassed the peak of mankind and is developing towards another stage.
The famous academy is the largest force in the city controlled by Bucklow.
For a new gathering place, the highest praise is the four words "Bokeluozhi".
“Taking the road of self-developed industry and relying on finished machines are two completely different difficulties. The former requires tens of thousands of times the effort of the latter. Blue Star has almost no No gathering place would do such a thankless job.”
"When I was young, I also thought about setting up an industrial factory so that I would no longer live such an unstable life."
There seemed to be a trace of yearning on Joseph's face, but soon he was distracted by it. Pressed down.
“But who can say for sure, maybe they gave up before they had time.”
“Hey, it seems that the manager went to the industrial area, we Why don't you go and take a look?"
Suddenly he saw Somo leaving the shelter and walking briskly towards the industrial area, Walter suggested.
"Forget it, Sean is still waiting for our good news."
"Okay then."
Although I really want to see what Joseph said about Buck Russell's potential. What kind of goods are there in this gathering place?
But having said that, Walter could only follow Joseph towards the direction of the caravan camp.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the village, Sumo also arrived in front of the new industrial zone.
Here, it is now completely independent from the village.
Based on the original farm tool center, eight pieces of land were spawned nearby.
Because the factory buildings have not yet been fully constructed, the Dream Steel Factory and the Kuangren Weapons Factory are still crowded together.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Somo felt a wave of heat hitting his face.
The tinkling sound of iron came from the right side of the farm tool center, and a dozen people inside could be vaguely seen busy refining Dali iron ore.
"Lord, you are here, come and take a look, the first product of our Madman Weapons Factory."
The Doomsday Madman emerged from the yard on the left, knocked on Somo who was standing at the door, and greeted him with a smile on his face. .
In his hand, there is a silver-white rifle that has not been painted.
Looking at the shape of the rifle, it looks a bit like the Territory's M-1 rifle.
It has sharp edges and corners, and has a slender gun body, if not for replacing the original high-strength plastic gun stock with wood.
The similarity between the two should be more than 80%.
“This is an imitation of the M-1 rifle?”
“Yes, it is not actually an imitation. Our current machine tools can completely produce the M-1, but after my research I found that although the M-1 rifle has a cool appearance, it is actually very troublesome to maintain, and it is not as useful as the old guns that have been tested in the market on our planet, so I boldly changed it.”
"Then, I copied five more old guns based on the same-scale drawings."
The two walked inside.
On the table in the middle of the inner courtyard, Sumo saw the so-called five old guns at a glance.
“Good guy, is this an AK-47?”
Sumo’s eyes couldn’t help but light up when he saw the most conspicuous one among the five guns.
The Ak47's leather is durable and has been tested on the battlefield.
Even during continuous shooting or when foreign matter such as dust enters the gun, its mechanical structure can still ensure that it continues to work.
"Actually, I originally wanted to make the 74M model of the AK series, but after thinking about it finally, I asked the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army to do some research. They all thought that accuracy is not that important in the wasteland at the moment. If we really start a war, There is no way to shoot at a distance of 500 meters. The limit is 300 meters, so the accuracy is far less important than shooting fast and shooting steadily."
Apocalyptic Madman. He kept explaining on the sidelines.
“Based on this standard, I came up with these guns, which are”
“SVD sniper rifle, Minimi light M249 machine gun, M1911A1 pistol, and MP5 submachine gun.”
Good guy.
It’s such a punishment to have a classic from each category.
Sumo also did not expect that among the people under his command, there would be someone with such a strong level of arms manufacturing.
No, it should be said to be a copy level.
Although the appearance of these guns is slightly different from real guns, compromises have been made for better maintenance, and some handsome edges and corners have been cut off.
But to be honest, Sumo not only didn’t think there was anything wrong with such a change, but was actually a little relieved.
As for styling, I can’t eat.
Practical, easy to use and durable, these attributes are real.
Every battle in the wasteland is not a drill. Whether the weapons are useful or not is related to the safety of every soldier.
Everything must give way to applicability.
stroking the cold gun body, the apocalyptic madman said regretfully.
"It's a pity that we still can't make bullets. We can only watch this gun after it is made."
Holding the gun in his hand, Sumo also wanted to go out and shoot a few shots to test its performance.
But there is no way, the territory now has only the last 1,200 bullets left in total.
Divided equally into the hands of every soldier, it is impossible to even have a magazine for each person, let alone use bullets with experimental performance.
“Don’t worry about the improved version of M-1 for now, just make these old guns. How much can our current production capacity reach?”
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as there are enough materials, this machine tool can produce at least sixty guns a day." The doomsday madman said with confidence, "And I'm trying to use it to make some parts to see if I can Put together a few more simple machine tools.”
“If we can succeed, our production speed will be faster!”
Holy shit.
It’s okay to use machine tools to produce parts and make a few more.
Worthy of being the mother of industry, this is simply the hen that placed the order.
At this moment, Sumo just felt that the survival points he spent before were not worth it.
"As for guns, there is no rush for now."
"As for the bullet problem, I will find a way to solve the problem of raw materials as soon as possible!"
Already have a gun production line, bullets The importance has once again risen a level.
With a single thought, Soma immediately stopped hesitating.
No matter what, let Liu Lu come up with some first, and he must also get through this wave of raw material shortage!
As for the risks.
With enough guns and ammunition, Sumo is confident that he can take on the gophers, let alone ordinary predators!
