Description: As the standard anti-material equipment of the orbital airborne troops, the Type 20 "Stinger" Gauss rifle adopts a barrelless design and a hollow magnetic guide. Its standard ammunition is a 9mm caliber, "spike" tail-stabilized bullet with a mass of 100g.
When shooting with standard ammunition, the theoretical muzzle velocity can reach Mach 5 and the muzzle kinetic energy is 144,755 Joules. Taking into account the special combat environment of the orbital airborne troops, the Type 20 "Stinger" Gauss rifle is designed to pass through the side even without standard ammunition.
Load and fire conductive working materials, such as cut-off iron nails and steel balls. However, it is important to note that when firing non-standard ammunition, the stability and accuracy of shooting cannot be guaranteed. Please refer to the user manual to make careful choices.
144755 joules of muzzle kinetic energy!
When he first saw this number, Chu Guang thought he had made a mistake.
If I remember correctly, the 20mm caliber M61 aviation cannon on the F16 fighter jet has a single firing power of only about 50,000 joules.
The muzzle kinetic energy exceeds 140,000 joules, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of a machine gun!
Can this be called a gun?
But if you just look at the caliber, there's nothing wrong with calling it a gun.
Picking up this terrifyingly powerful Gauss rifle from the conveyor belt, Chu Guang held it in his hand for a while and took off the heavy magazine.
The bullet stuffed in the magazine is very long, and its shape is more like a long shuttle than a spike. The threads on the tail are probably its "stabilizing tail", which allows the bullet to spin stably during flight.
The Gauss rifle used by Lu Yang and his team members seems to adopt another technical route, that is, a fully enclosed magnetic track, and a rifled barrel is added in the middle of the magnetic track.
When Chu Guang took a peek at the drone screen before, he noticed that their Gauss rifle needed to actively replace the overheated barrel after continuous shooting.
Intuition tells Chu Guang that the barrelless design may have higher technical content, but the maintenance and use costs are hard to tell.
"I'm afraid the recoil is quite big... Without an exoskeleton or powered armor, it's really impossible to control it."
"There is also ammunition, 10 bullets are too few."
"I wonder if it would be possible to make a similar-shaped bullet out of tungsten steel."
Given the production conditions of the outpost, it is impossible to expect the materials to be exactly the same, but it should not be a big problem to follow the pattern and make a bullet with a similar shape.
Chu Guang plans to save some of these 10 "original bullets" and reserve them for valuable targets. To deal with ordinary alien species, some imitation ammunition is almost enough.
In addition, the optical sight on the gun is also a good thing, with a maximum magnification of 12 times.
However, perhaps because I spent all my luck on the high-end blind boxes, 11 lollipops were actually opened in the 11 junior blind boxes.
And it's all chocolate flavored.
However, Chu Guang was in a good mood. Instead of his blood pressure rising, he gave Xia Yan and Xiaoyu a lollipop, sharing the joy in his heart at this moment.
One cannon and one piece of armor.
This wave is more than just blood money.
It’s like getting rich!
…
The next day was a rare sunny day.
There was not a single cloud in the cloudless sky.
However, the snow was very heavy last night, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers drifted all night. When daybreak, the thickest part of the snow even reached the knees.
Two nomads were still hired to clean it.
After inspecting the training of the guard, Chu Guang found old Luca.
"I'm going to give you a task. The details are already on your vm. Now you go to the brick factory and pick two smarter survivors to be your assistants."
"In a while, our allies will send people to us to register the list of labor dispatch. After that, you can take them out according to what I explained on the vm."
Old Luca nodded respectfully.
"As you command, my lord."
It didn't take long for Old Luca to head towards the brick factory.
Chu Guang soon saw through the drone in the sky that an off-road vehicle with large tires broke through the snow and drove from the north.
There were 4 people sitting in the car.
Except for the driver and the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat who were wearing exoskeletons and carrying light weapons, the two people in the back were not even equipped with exoskeletons and only wore uniform gray coats. They were probably civilian personnel.
The road conditions in the wasteland are very poor, especially in urban areas. There can even be ten uneven folds on a road. Some of the wider cracks even leak out the pipelines buried underneath, and the width difference is even more.
meters and above.
Let alone cars, even people and animals have difficulty passing through. They can only walk around the ruins with deep foundations on the street.
The road along the remains of the elevated highway out of the city was not smooth, and many pits were buried by the snow.
Chu Guang watched from the sky, and he and Xiao Qi guessed when the car would break down. In the end, Xiao Qi guessed correctly. About 1 kilometer away from the wetland park, the front wheel of the off-road vehicle
It fell directly into the ditch.
The snow foam was swept up into the sky, but no matter how much the tire was idling in the pit, it could not be plowed up.
The co-pilot and driver could only get out of the car, grab the wheel hub with both hands, and rely on the brute force of the exoskeleton to lift the front of the car out of the ditch.
Chu Guang originally planned to find two strength players to help him, but when he saw this scene, he immediately gave up the idea.
"The power of technology is still strong."
When can I get a complete set for each of my cute little players?
Isn't it very fast to move bricks?
With a sigh in his heart, Chu Guang looked at the group of people who got in the car again and drove to the north gate of the Wetland Park. He turned off the vm screen and went downstairs to wait at the north gate.
…
The off-road vehicle could not enter the wetland park, so the driver and the vehicle stayed in front of the north gate of the park waiting, while the other three people got out of the car and continued moving forward.
The group quickly arrived at the outpost, met the manager at the north gate, and went to the reception room at his invitation.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Li De from the Logistics Section of the First Development Corps of the Silver Wing Group to which the company belongs. The person behind me is Luo Hua, a colleague from our Logistics Section, who is the person in charge of the temporary office of your camp.
He is responsible for liaison and communication matters, and the other one is Ai Si from the security department, who is mainly responsible for his safety."
"Hello, Mr. Manager." The man named Luo Hua wore glasses and looked a bit polite.
The heroic female bodyguard just nodded to him without any words or participation in the conversation, as if she didn't exist.
Taking Li De's extended right hand and shaking it, Chu Guang had a spring-breathing smile on his face.
"Chu Guang, the manager of Shelter 404, is honored to cooperate with you. Please take a seat."
A handsome face always makes people feel good.
Even though his facial muscles were stiffened by the north wind, after seeing Chu Guang's smile, Li De squeezed out an equally friendly smile on his face.
It is so comfortable to communicate with civilized people.
It doesn't matter if you are poor, at least you can communicate.
The native people Li De met along the way really made him fed up, and he was completely unable to communicate in a civilized way.
Except for the bodyguard standing at the door, the three people in the room took their seats one after another.
Li De didn't go around in circles. After sitting down, he went straight to the topic and took out a tablet computer from his bag.
"Then let's get started. I've provided a list here of what we can provide you. The price we offer to each labor force is still 1R per hour, 200 people work 10 hours a day, and the daily salary is
The total expenditure is 2000R...this is our budget.”
Chu Guang took the tablet from his hand, traced the screen with his index finger, and glanced at the list on it.
Overall, the purchasing power of R is still very strong.
Perhaps because the production line is mounted on caterpillar tracks, the prices on the list are closer to the local standards on the East Coast than those of the merchants who don't know where they come from. It even feels cheaper than the local survivor strongholds on the East Coast.
1R can wholesale a lot of bulk commodities.
But Chu Guang was stunned when he saw one kilogram of starch, one kilogram of glucose, one kilogram of sucrose, one kilogram of amino acids (lysine, tryptophan, etc. 30 kinds)... these strange trading varieties.
one time.
Can the product be broken down into molecules and sold?
Of course, in addition to these too hard-core varieties, there are also normal trading varieties.
For example, rice, wheat and corn, the price of these agricultural products is 2R per kilogram.
Chu Guang remembered that the starch content of rice is only 75%, so buying rice will be more expensive than buying starch?
In addition, there are also plant-based meat patties or minced meat, which are also only 2R per kilogram, which is actually the same price as rice and wheat.
In any survivor gathering place in Qingquan City, it is impossible to sell meat at the same price as things grown in the ground!
In addition, processed and mature foods are also on the list.
A quasi-nutrition meal with a net content of 430g requires 1R, which contains a normal diet that is enough to sustain the carbohydrates, fiber, protein and other mineral nutrients required by a person for a meal. However, the water content seems to be a bit large, with a net content of 800g.
A type of nutrition package actually costs 8R.
Is this a Family Bucket sold?
This is basically the food that can be traded. Starting from 10R, the traded items become some daily necessities and industrial products.
For example, one kilogram of sulfur soap sells for exactly 10R. According to the net content of 100 grams, 10 pieces can be cut, which is equivalent to one piece of 1R.
Another example is salt. They only sell refined salt, or pure sodium chloride, which costs only R10 per kilogram.
What is very interesting is that their salt price is equivalent to 10 times that of grains and 10 times that of meat. Chu Guang was not sure for a while whether this was considered cheap or expensive.
Anyway, here, salt is sold by "liang".
Then starting from the 100R level, some good things will appear.
For example, there are submachine guns priced at 200R and assault rifles priced at 300R. There are also bulletproof vests priced at 100R and heavy-duty full-protection bulletproof armor priced at 300R.
Bullets are very cheap. You can buy three bullets for 1R, which is equivalent to a pound of rice.
"Why no gauss rifles?"
Chu Guang scrolled down the list to the bottom and found some production tools that he might use, but did not find the power armor and Gauss rifle that he wanted more.
Li De said with a serious expression.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Manager, our power armor and Gauss rifle are the lives of soldiers, and they cannot be sold."
Chu Guang nodded.
"Understood, I took the liberty."
understood.
It seems that it is not easy for you to produce that thing, at least not to the extent that everyone has one set.
In Chu Guang's impression, although the principle of the coil gun is very simple, it is actually a very expensive technology. It cost so much money that the Americans installed all the cannons on the ship and then dismantled them after defrauding the military expenses.
Think about it, how cheap are traditional artillery pieces?
It is easy to maintain. It explodes every time you fire it. If the barrel is broken, replace it with a new one and continue firing.
Chu Guang studied all night yesterday, but he still couldn't figure out what material the magnetic track of the Type 20 "Stinger" Gauss rifle was made of, and he didn't even dare to dismantle it and take a look.
He's not stupid.
What if the magnetic track is filled with metallic hydrogen?
Then it will explode directly.
Researching black technology is simply more exciting than opening a blind box. After thinking about it, Chu Guang decided not to put in the effort. Not to mention that it may not be possible to do it if he understands it. He simply doesn’t have the equipment and prerequisites to understand it.
Any small breakthrough is the result of hundreds of projects and tens of thousands of experimental results. And when quantitative changes accumulate into qualitative changes, when it comes to a certain mature technology, it contains hundreds of research results.
Thousands of tiny breakthroughs.
So let’s open the blind box.
At least what comes out of the blind box can be used immediately.
Only with guns can we have food, with food can we have people, and with people can we develop industry, expand our territory, and pick up garbage from farther away. Only when food, electricity, and mines are all activated and production capacity has increased, can we talk about technology trees.
.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for anyone to come.
Chu Guang: "There is no problem in terms of treatment. One kilogram of rice here costs...well, 10 copper coins. So after conversion, I think the reasonable exchange rate is 1R for 5 copper coins."
Chu Guang originally wanted to exchange 2R for 1 silver coin.
But then I thought about it and changed the term to high emotional intelligence.
However, I didn't expect that my quartermaster friend didn't appreciate it at all, so he shook his head and said.
"Mr. Manager, my words may be a bit direct. Our captain is a rough man and he really doesn't understand this, but do you think I don't understand it either?"
"Let's not go to such trouble. Besides, it's meaningless to exchange each other's money. We can't stay here forever. We will pay you all the money directly according to the 1R hourly wage standard. As for what you plan to give
How much silver coins your residents pay is your internal issue and we will not interfere."
"As for the problem you raised that R cannot be circulated normally, we have solved it for you. The list in your hand was summarized by our colleagues in the logistics department overnight. I believe that the materials listed above are definitely better than what you have in
It’s richer than any caravan I’ve ever seen here, what do you think?”
To sum up, you can't fool me.
You can pay whatever hourly rate you like to the person you love. Anyway, that's all we give you.
Everything is sold to you at cost price, which is conscientious enough.
Chu Guang, who had been in sales for so many years, could certainly understand what he meant, and he had an embarrassed smile on his face.
"That's okay too."
Originally, he wanted to say that the minimum hourly wage for his players (players) is 1 silver coin, which should be 2R when converted. But he didn't expect that they are quite smart and don't want his money at all.
Seeing Chu Guang's positive attitude, Li De looked at him cautiously and said.
"So do I take it that we have reached a consensus?"
Yesterday, Lu Yang also bragged to him, saying that the manager of Vault 404 was a very cheerful person, and it only took them less than ten minutes to reach a consensus.
Now it seems that it's not that this guy is so cheerful, but that their captain is too cheerful...
"Half achieved," Chu Guang nodded and continued, "Your captain promised me that he would provide food and accommodation for our people. After all, there is a distance of 10 kilometers from us to you, and our people cannot
Wasted so much time on the road every day and eating, this is also a big problem."
When he heard the first part of the sentence, "Half achieved," Li De was still looking for blood pressure lowering medicine in his pocket, but he relaxed his nerves when he heard the second part of the sentence.
This is a reasonable request.
"Don't worry, we have built a temporary camp for your workers. Although it is not as comfortable as the shelter, it is windproof and warm without any problems. As for meals, don't worry, we will prepare a mobile kitchen for you.
Three meals a day are provided according to the standard of 1R per meal.”
Chu Guang nodded, thoughtfully.
"Each meal is 1R, so a day is 3R, right?"
Li De was stunned for a moment and nodded cautiously.
"Uh, yes sir."
Chu Guang had a smile on his face.
"According to the standard of 3R per person per day, you can pay us directly. We will purchase it centrally and prepare our own food. This way you don't need to prepare a mobile kitchen, just give us some pots and pans for cooking.
,What do you think?"
Li De looked confused.
This works too???
However, he did not express his opinion immediately, but silently calculated the cost in his mind.
If a mobile kitchen were to be deployed in these workers' camps, the actual cost would be at least 1,000R per day, and you would still have to worry about it if you ran out of food.
Similar problems occurred when they worked with indigenous people in the past.
According to the standard of 3R per person per day, 200 people are paid 600R, the cost is directly cut by 40%, and the risk is eliminated.
Li De nodded decisively and agreed.
"OK!"
Chu Guang also reached out his right hand decisively.
"make a deal!"
…
After reaching a consensus, both parties quickly drew up a contract in black and white, signed their names on it, and pressed their fingerprints in place of the official seal.
At this moment, Li De finally realized the captain's "refreshing" evaluation of the manager.
really.
His efficiency is impressive.
It's really humiliating to stay here...
Luo Hua, who was the head of the office, stayed, while Li De set off under the escort of Aisi and returned to the bus stop at the entrance of the Wetland Park.
After that, she would return to the outpost, and Luo Hua and she would use the materials they brought to build a simple barracks as an office location.
"The conditions here are too crude... They are actually still using primitive steelmaking methods to produce steel." Looking at the big chimney in the south, Luo Hua couldn't help but sigh.
Aisi did not comment on these facilities, he just said after being silent for a while.
"That man is very strong."
"Strong?"
"Well, it's an awakened person, and there is probably a first stage."
"Which one?" Luo Hua looked up curiously and found that there were quite a few shelter residents around.
These people also looked at them curiously, not knowing what they were looking at.
"The one who talked to you before."
"You mean their managers?" Luo Hua looked surprised, "But I remember that awakening is not necessary."
"Having gone through countless tests of life and death, at least once I have passed through the gate of hell."
Ai Si's face still had an expressionless expression, but there was a hint of caution in her pupils, and she rarely said another word.
It seems that the captain's assessment is correct.
"That man is very strong." -
(Sorry, it's a little late, I just fell asleep on the table...QaQ)
