Chapter 218 The recoil is huge! But it’s also very strong!
Regardless of whether Lao Bai is bragging or not.
After listening to what he said, Brother Levin immediately turned back to the next door workshop and pushed out a 20mm cannon on a cart that had just been assembled.
Returning to Lao Bai excitedly, he said with shining eyes.
"Brother, let's go try it."
"If you can really carry this thing and shoot it, we will try to make the thing you mentioned!"
There is no point in making a weapon that most people cannot use. It is impossible for No. 81 Steel Factory to open a separate production line specifically for a certain player.
But on the other hand, if this outrageous weapon can be used, it will make a lot of money!
The 20mm barrel and ammunition are readily available.
It’s not difficult to create a rotary bolt lock. Just follow the receiver of the Arbiter I bolt-action rifle and make an enlarged version!
There are at least two to three hundred power-type players in the server, and in another month at least half of them will be awakened.
What a big market that must be!
When he thought of this, Brother Levin became excited.
After hearing Brother Levin's proposal, Lao Bai thought it made sense, so he readily agreed.
"okay!"
Having said that, Lao Bai didn't hesitate, he reached out and picked up the machine gun, which weighed nearly fifty kilograms, and strode outside.
The power 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 Wusuo brought a few ammunition for testing, and Fang Chang and Midnight Shaji followed curiously.
The group soon arrived at the Goblin Technology Rocket Test Range located on the edge of the industrial zone.
There is concrete waste everywhere, and a five-meter-high building has been blown to pieces by continuous blasting.
When they arrived, Mosquito was walking out of the ruins carrying half of the rocket tail.
Seeing this large group of people, Mosquito was stunned for a moment.
"What are you doing here?"
Lao Bai said with a smile.
"Brother, please borrow the venue for use!"
In this winter, all the alien species are hiding in the house. It’s not easy to find a target on the street.
But there are enough targets for mosquitoes here.
In order to ensure the killing effect of the rocket, Brother Mosquito made dummies out of wood. Many of the dummies were also hung with steel plates to simulate predator and mutant-style armor.
Since he was a carpenter, Mosquito was very good at doing these jobs. He even improved the tools and made a nail gun, which also benefited the craftsmen doing carpentry work in the entire industrial area.
Although he was dissatisfied with these people interfering with his experiment, Mosquito was also curious about the power of the big rod in Lao Bai's hand, so he said nothing and stood aside to watch.
"How about directly attaching a 20mm thick steel plate? Try to see if it can be penetrated." Glancing at Brother Levin next to him, Mosquito's heart moved and he muttered in a low voice.
"Isn't this nonsense?" Brother Levin rolled his eyes when he heard Mosquito's nonsense.
Brother Tousuo, who was standing aside to help Lao Bai debug the weapon, couldn't help but complain.
"That's right! It can't penetrate a 20mm steel plate, so why call it a hammer cannon!"
Mosquito was happy and asked curiously.
"Then tell me, how deep are you wearing it?"
Brother Levin chuckled and spread his five fingers.
"Within 100 meters, 50mm, 500 meters, 20mm."
"Hey, blow it!" Mosquito rolled his eyes with an expression that said, "I believe you, this damn guy is even more powerful than Barrett!"
Brother Levin continues to laugh.
"Nonsense! We said it's a cannon, but don't you look at how long our rifling is, how long our bullets are, and how much powder we charge!"
"How many?"
Brother Levin shut his mouth and stopped talking.
He felt like this guy was trying to steal their trade secrets.
That was the charge ratio that they wasted a lot of budget on.
Bring the money if you want!
Seeing that he had no idea, the mosquito said nothing, with a regretful expression on his face.
At this time, Lao Bai had already mastered the trick of using this machine gun. He put the magazine protruding backward on his shoulder and confirmed with Brother Tousuo next to him.
"Has it been set to single-shot mode?"
Brother Tousuo said while stepping back.
"It's adjusted, just pick a target and shoot it once, you'll know!"
"okay."
Lao Bai excitedly raised the long barrel and pointed the mechanical sight at the dummy about 100 meters away from him.
The dummy has a 20 mm thick steel plate hanging on its chest. Its physique is modeled after that of a 1.8 meter strong man, and its shape is quite impressive.
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Lao Bai tensed up all the muscles in his body, prepared to deal with the recoil, and at the same time pulled the trigger in his hand.
boom!
There was a thunderous sound.
A half-meter-long fire snake sprang out from the muzzle, and the recoil that followed spread throughout the body and rushed to the soles of the feet in an instant.
I saw a cloud of snow foam swaying from Lao Bai's heel, flying backwards and smacking the mosquito and Brother Levin in the face.
The ground trembled!
The wooden dummy in the distance seemed to have been hit by a truck. It exploded with a loud bang and shattered wood chips flew out together with the hit steel plate, and collapsed on the ground in a human shape.
"Damn it! This is a bit powerful!" The mosquito's eyes were so straight that he forgot to wipe the snow off his face.
Just now, he still didn't believe it. This piece of shit can penetrate up to 50mm per 100 meters. Now he is a little bit convinced!
Lao Bai, who was carrying the machine gun, and Fang Chang and Midnight Shaji, who were watching from the side, were also dumbfounded.
This power is also extremely powerful!
The two directors 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 speed bonus is a joke?"
He was still looking proud at first, but when he heard that his teammates had leaked the secret, Brother Levin suddenly became excited and reached out to cover Brother Wusuo's mouth.
"Okay, stop talking!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. It is originally public information on the official website.
They just referred to the information that could be found in reality and figured out a relatively reliable ratio. While allowing the barrel to withstand the chamber pressure, the muzzle velocity of the cannonball was close to the maximum.
The mosquito swallowed its saliva.
Although he had heard that X-4 fiber could replace ordinary plant fiber and the nitrocellulose produced could obtain an "explosion speed bonus", he had never actually tried it.
After all, this goes against the common sense he knows.
But I didn’t expect it to be true?
Not far away, Lao Bai has taken off his exoskeleton.
The previous shell gave him a rough understanding of the recoil of the weapon.
Next he wants to try naked standing shooting!
Everyone around him stopped talking and looked at him.
Just hear another loud thunder-like noise!
Lao Bai, who put the cannon on his shoulder, swayed back suddenly, but he still managed to carry it down with the strength of his muscles.
"Hiss, the recoil is a bit fierce..."
"But I can hold on!"
Lao Bai put down the machine gun, opened his collar and took a look at his right breast.
There was a red mark as big as the sole of a shoe that was flushed out by the recoil, but there were no bruises or other injuries.
His current level is LV12, with 19 points of strength. He is still 1 point short of having muscle strength 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 the skin doesn’t turn green!
If "Boundary Breakthrough" was enabled, the body would probably not have swayed at all just now.
Fang Chang couldn't help but sigh.
"You are worthy of being the strongest man in the entire server. I am willing to call you the strongest when I come to Japan!"
Lao Bai chuckled.
"Thank you, thank you."
Midnight Killer stepped forward with an envious look on his face, stretched out his hand and touched the machine gun that was lying on the ground, its barrel burning the snow to create a sizzling white air.
After weighing it, I found it was not too heavy.
Killing the chicken at midnight and looking 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 in the power system could withstand the recoil after awakening, wouldn't their weapons be sold like crazy?!
This is much more profitable than selling axes!
Knew it.
The eternal god of power!
After getting Brother Levin's permission, I also tried killing chickens at midnight.
However, his situation was a little more embarrassing than that of Lao Bai. Not only was the barrel of the gun raised by the recoil, but he also stumbled backward and almost fell.
After all, he has just awakened, and LV10 usually only has 17 points of power, which is not as good as Lao Bai who is already level 12.
Without these two points of strength, I really can’t handle it without opening up my talents.
It can be deduced from this that the best attributes of this weapon should be 20 strength and 10 constitution. Or as a fixed weapon, it should be usable by everyone.
"nice one!"
Midnight Killer looked excited, but he quickly calmed down, shook his head, and lowered the cannon.
"It's a pity that with such a huge recoil, it's definitely not possible to hold a burst of fire."
"It's even more impossible to hold it and rush forward."
Strong is strong.
But it doesn’t match the “Berserker” talent he unlocked!
Hearing his words, Brother Levin almost couldn't help but burst into tears.
"It's useless for you to rush forward with such a big thing, the barrel of the gun will poke into the face."
Brother Tousuo couldn't help but complain.
"That's right! If you don't understand art, you should just play with your axe!"
Kill the chicken at midnight: "..."
Gan!
What happened to playing with axes?
Look down on melee players?
If you have the ability to make gestures!
Lao Bai and Fang Chang came over and looked at the two directors of the No. 81 Steel Plant.
"How is it? OK or not?"
"Can I change the cannon to a single shot?"
The two factory managers looked at each other.
"How can we call it a machine gun after it has been changed to a single-shot machine?"
"really."
Not caring about such trivial issues, Lao Bai said with a hearty smile.
"Then what do you think it should be called?"
Brother Levin thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly fell on the modified breastplate of Lao Bai's exoskeleton, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Lance!"
Looking at Brother Shisuo on the side, Brother Levin continued with bright eyes.
"How about just calling it a 'Lance' anti-tank rifle?"
He estimated that the cost would be about 900 silver, and the selling price could be set at 1,000 or 950.
The ammunition is directly the same as the cannon, and there is no need to change it.
When the number of awakened players increases, this equipment will definitely sell like crazy!
The brainwaves quickly matched, and Brother Wusuo gave a thumbs up with excitement on his face.
"Okay, brother, I think it's okay! But it's already 20mm, so it should count as a cannon, right?"
"Tsk, stop picking out the words, you'll be fine as long as you're handsome!"
Looking at these two people, Mosquito standing next to him looked envious.
Obviously, he also saw the commercial potential of this thing.
hateful!
They are all making a fortune in arms!
It seems that he has to work harder.
…
As the end of December gets closer and closer, the "Wartime Regulations" have entered the 25th day after their implementation.
If it is not extended, this regulation will have already passed less than half of its time.
In the past 25 days, the new industrial zone's steel production capacity and the number of literate workers have doubled.
Thanks to the night school and study group system implemented in the new industrial zone, after the 12-hour work day, factory foremen will organize 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 full-time worker.
Once you are upgraded to a regular worker, not only will your salary double, your daily salary will change from two silver coins to four silver coins, you will also be able to sign a long-term and stable labor contract with the factory, and you may even hope to become a foreman directly employed by the shelter.
Those foremen with VMs are so enviable. Not only can they chat and laugh with the blue coats, but I heard that their daily salary has been increased to 5 silver coins!
Therefore, the workers are very enthusiastic about learning, especially the refugees from far away.
They are the ones most eager to stay.
He is also the one who is most eager to gain recognition from the "aboriginal people" of this territory, the blue coats!
Apart from 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, 2 are perception, 2 are physical and 1 is intelligence.
This includes often swimming on the edge of life and death. After Ye Shi, he became the second player in the server to awaken to the sensory system.
The talents unlocked by both of them are quite good. With their personal playing styles, they should be able to perform a lot of cool operations.
Then there are the elf Wang Fugui who is keen on hunting, the editor of "Mole Daily" Canyon Mole who is on the run, and the physique type cupboard tomato scrambled eggs who are always at the forefront, and Lao Na who works hard at practicing internal skills.
These are the players who entered the game early, they are two agility types and two constitution types.
A group of players who subsequently entered the game have also reached LV9, and are faintly close to the edge of breakthrough. It is expected that breakthroughs will occur within a month.
However, the intelligence department is different from several other departments. The polarization is quite serious, and there are even obvious fault lines in the high-level areas.
So far, among all intelligence players, only Guang Feng has reached LV10.
There are not even LV9 players among the remaining intelligence players, but there are some who are at the peak of LV8.
What also surprised Chu Guang was that the leveling speed of life professional players in the intelligence department seemed to be faster than that of combat professional players.
For example, Teng Teng has been at LV8 for a while, and his breakthrough is just in front of him when he looks at the progress bar.
Maybe the first intelligence system to awaken will be a professional player who neither goes to the front line nor fights monsters?
Players on the official forum have debated whether this is reasonable or not.
Especially Brother Mole, he even opened a post specifically for this matter.
"Some thoughts on the intelligence department, written on the eve of the Alpha1.0 version"
"Hello, everyone, I am your big-nosed mole. What I am writing today is not a guide, but a little insight."
"As more and more players awaken, the power system has once again confirmed its identity as the mastermind's son and has become the undisputed son of the version."
"As for the intelligence department, it is still sitting on the bench without any surprise. It has become the only sequence that has been weak from beginning to end since the closed beta of the game. It has firmly established itself as the dear younger brother of the Alpha closed beta version."
"I have predicted the rise of the intelligence department more than once, and I have been mercilessly slapped in the face by big planners more than once. From the arrival of the Pioneer to the emergence of the science expedition team, every time there seemed to be an opportunity to rise, in the end
It has not benefited all players, and only a few European emperors have taken advantage. And even the intelligence-based European emperors have to spend a hundred times of effort to barely catch up with the tail lights of other sequences."
"The dark clouds hanging over the intelligence system never dissipate. Even if one or two players occasionally unlock different gameplay methods, their experience cannot be applied to others."
"All the common sense or conventions about MMRPG seem to be invalid in the intelligence department. It seems to be an abandoned sequence. Maybe the planners didn't intend for it to work at all."
"After all, its function is really difficult to intuitively reflect, and the gameplay that can be expanded is not as rich as other sequences."
"I thought so at first, but then I began to gradually discover that maybe it wasn't that the planning deliberately ignored the intelligence department, but that the sequence was originally designed like this."
"Destroying monsters and upgrading are not the whole 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 operators are deliberately creating this atmosphere."
"They have built "Wasteland OL" into an almost real world, making NPCs look like people, and in addition to the elements of violence and destruction, they also provide its players with a completely different path.
create."
"Use your creativity and wisdom to change this declining planet and plant the flag of the People's Federation to the edge of the Kuiper Belt."
"Perhaps, this is the intelligence version of the answer."
"It's also an easter egg left for us by the game producers."

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 that much.
But there seems to be nothing wrong with this interpretation.
After adding some details to the post, Chu Guang continued to scroll through the forum.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a post that was completely different from the current hot topic on the forum.
"New Year's Day is coming soon, where are you planning to spend the holiday?"
The post was posted by Crow Crow.
This guy has been very active on the forum since the beginning of winter. After all, for her who is not good at fighting and is only good at giving things for free, there are too few things that she can do in the game.
New Year's Day...
Looking at the post, Chu Guang suddenly felt a little melancholy on his face.
This is an important holiday.
He still remembered that he died in March, came to this world in April, and discovered Vault 404 in September.
It seems like a year has passed...
He has no relatives worth remembering, lives in a hurry, and most of his friends are online, so that after traveling here, he didn't even think about finding his way home.
What are you going to do when you go back?
At least in the shelter, he collects rent from others.
Dragging the mouse to scroll down, some people in the post said that they planned to OB for a day and spend time with their families. Some people said that it didn't matter. Anyway, the time in the game does not conflict with real life. At most, it will be online later.
Chu Guang stared at the post for a while and suddenly said.
"Xiao Qi."
Xiaoqi's voice floated softly from the side.
"Here you are, 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 holiday or something."
Xiaoqi: "Eh? Is it 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 Wasteland Era 211... Is there any cheaper way to celebrate?"
I heard that there were many festivals in pre-war society. After all, the average working hours per person added up to less than 300 hours a year.
Coupled with the dual prosperity of culture and technology, there is a festival almost every two days.
But this will no longer be a good thing after the Wasteland Era.
There are no good days to celebrate here at all, and even the weather is often chaotic.
Coupled with the cultural gap, many people know nothing about the People's League other than using the People's Lian dialect. They only know that if you don't work, you won't have food, and if you don't pick up garbage, you will die.
Some small and medium-sized survivor settlements based on farming have selectively retained some festivals to celebrate this year's harvest and pray for next year's harvest, but this obviously does not include Beit Street, whose main livelihood is scavenging and hunting, and most people
The Brown Farm where all the serfs lived.
It just so happens that the survivor settlements in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City basically fall into these two categories, plus at most one post-style settlement that does business with merchants.
Chu Guang has been in the wasteland for so long, but he has never seen the scavengers on Beit Street behave in any way.
But if there can be a festival, it will not only boost people's morale, but also increase their sense of belonging and cultural identity.
After all, in addition to players, there are also refugees from all over his territory.
We have to find a way to unite them.
It is perfect for festivals and celebrations.
Xiao Qi was silent for a while, not knowing whether to use the search tool or to think seriously about this problem.
After a long time, that sweet voice came back weakly.
"Xiao Qi thinks it's actually a wasteland... There's no need to refer to the festivals on Earth."
"How about... just take this opportunity to celebrate and encourage everyone to try some new foods?"
"Then in the name of the event, give an award to the most creative recipe or something."
Try some new foods?
Awards for the most creative recipes?
Chu Guang was slightly startled.
For a moment, he even changed his evaluation of Xiao Qi.
This guy……
Maybe he’s a genius!?
(Thanks to the leader of "Longyin" for the reward~)
