After the battle, Lin Xi cleaned up the battlefield as usual while taking inventory of gains and losses. This battle seemed to be won easily, but in fact the victory was based on the large mines she laid and Chu Jungui's crazy shooting. Although this base
It looks simple, but in fact its defense is no worse than that of a small military stronghold.
In the entire battle, 70% of the more than 300 various landmines laid by Lin Xi were triggered. It was relying on the sea of mines that he wiped out the entire Thornback beast herd in one fell swoop, and killed nearly half of the alien beast herd, as well as the entire army.
Sneak attack troops.
Chu Jungui said that the results of the battle were much worse. He continued to shoot, but he only wiped out a small group of semi-alien beasts and all the strange birds. Now Lin Xi named these strange birds as winged beasts to distinguish them.
What makes Chu Jun Gui Xiaoyou regretful is that he could not capture the messenger alive, otherwise he might have learned a lot from him.
The price for these results was that Chu Jungui emptied a total of 12 magazines, and the ammunition reserve dropped by half in an instant. Lin Xi still had a lot of sniper bullets on hand, so he didn't have to worry about supply for the time being.
At this moment, in the distant valley, there are nearly a hundred more stone platforms, and the black shadow in the center seems to be larger, so that although there are many flashing light spots, they appear sparse.
Most of the stone platforms were concentrated in the battle for that fortress. The fierce battle seemed to be endless, but the result of the continuous fierce attacks was not to uproot the fortress, but to make the scale of the fortress bigger and bigger.
A mobile fortress-style base has already passed through the beast tide and established a satellite stronghold two kilometers away from the fortress. The stronghold is within the coverage of the fortress' artillery fire. Using this cover, various buildings inside the stronghold are rising rapidly.
The firepower of the stronghold itself was also very fierce, and it withstood the attack of the beast tide.
Two transport ships broke through the ion storm layer one after another and landed in the fortress. Numerous soldiers and equipment poured out of the transport ships. At the same time, a large number of engineering machinery appeared in the fortress, and the transport ships were directly dismantled and used to supplement supplies. It seems that
The Federation also increased its support for the fortress.
In the valley, the black shadow had been attacking the fortress according to its usual rhythm. Suddenly it stretched out a vague giant claw, picked up nearly a hundred stone platforms with one claw, and smashed them all on the satellite stronghold.
After a while, the number of beasts around the satellite stronghold increased, and the offensive became more and more fierce. Even if the base was desperately covered with artillery fire, it was of no avail. As a section of the outer wall of the stronghold collapsed, countless war beasts poured into the stronghold, and in the blink of an eye it was
This satellite was razed to the ground. The nearly a thousand soldiers stationed in the stronghold were turned into food for the beast tide.
After razing the satellite stronghold, the beast tide and the base fell into a stalemate again.
At this time, a messenger flew around the black shadow several times, and finally succeeded in attracting its attention. The messenger flew back to his own platform, and jumped to an adjacent platform. What was displayed on that stone platform was
Chu Jungui's small base, and the herd of beast troops ready to go.
The picture stayed here and never moved again.
The black shadow made an indistinct voice, "Didn't... come back?"
The messenger said this was indeed the case.
A few glances from the black shadow swept around, but they found that most of the surrounding stone platforms were empty. Those who originally had troops had just been snatched away by it and thrown into the attack on the satellite stronghold. The ones that were still lit at the moment,
There are only two stone platforms.
The black shadow had no choice. He picked up the light and shadow of the two stone platforms and cast them towards Chu Jungui, then fixed his gaze on the messenger.
The messenger accepted the new mission, rose into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
In the base, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi each dragged four strange beasts back and threw them on the already piled high pile of beasts. Chu Jungui saw that an organic matter detector had completed the analysis, so he picked up a volume.
The animal skin was stuffed in.
Lin Xi gasped slightly and said, "This won't work. We have to make some tools."
"Indeed." Chu Jungui felt the same. Half of his armor's auxiliary power was damaged, and it was more difficult for him to move things than Lin Xi.
Moreover, there are four giant rhinoceros beasts that look like small mountains placed there in the distance and cannot be moved.
Chu Jungui sorted out his current work and formulated his priorities. He first made two small polymer batteries, and then used a workbench to build a hand-held drill and a hand-held electric saw.
The drill can drill holes in the ground and break stones, and is an indispensable tool for Lin Xi Brai. In addition to cutting down trees, the electric saw can also be used to cut up corpses.
Having these two tools certainly does not mean entering mechanization, but it can allow two people to reach the ultimate level of manual operation.
After Chu Jungui looked at all the transportation vehicles, he felt unsatisfied, so on the one hand, he handed it over to the chip design, and on the other hand, he chose the simplest design drawing and modified it manually.
The wheeled structure has proven its superiority on countless planets, second only to the towing platform using an anti-gravity engine. Chu Jungui is still unable to build an anti-gravity engine, so he honestly returns to the wheeled structure.
Chu Jungui chose a design in which each single wheel has its own drive structure. When the drive structure is driven by the simplest motor, the workbench can produce a single wheel structure at one time.
Then Chu Jungui chose a simple steering, shock-absorbing device, a connecting structure, and wooden boards on top, and it became the simplest self-propelled transport vehicle.
However, tire materials are a bit troublesome. Chu Jungui still needs to build an organic matter editor first, and then use animal skins as raw materials to create tires with better performance than rubber.
Now that there are enough materials on hand, it is only a matter of time before the organic matter editor becomes available. Before long, there is an editor similar to a washing machine in the work area outside the cockpit.
Chu Jungui entered the detection data of the exotic animal skins into the editor, and then entered the required performance, and the editor automatically gave several options. Now that he had enough animal skins on hand, Chu Jungui chose the fastest option.
, and then start the editor.
Rolls of animal hides were swallowed by the editor, and a new piece of material displayed on the virtual display gradually accumulated.
Chu Jungui did not wait, but nailed several wooden frames, put the newly made axles on them, and then used alloy profiles to weld the front and rear axles together.
Chu Jungui installed additional shock absorbers on both ends of the axle, and then installed the self-driving wheel structure made on the workbench. After the four wheel structures were installed, the prototype of the chassis was formed.
At this time, the editor had completed the first batch of products. Chu Jungui took a piece of dusty material and threw it into the workbench. A moment later, an off-road tire came out.
Chu Jungui held the tires and installed them on the wheels one by one. Although many parts were still missing, the general appearance was already there.
The two of them are about to say goodbye to their push-and-pull life and can start driving soon. .m.
