He has never heard of this. If he had heard of it, he would not dare to work here. The reason he just wanted to persuade his boss to give up the mass production of mechanical exoskeletons was just because he was worried about the time he would spend researching rockets.
Being squeezed.
"Regret that you came here?" Zhu Tian looked at Kong Jie's uncertain face and asked after smiling.
Kong Jie swallowed, looked aside and said, "I don't dare."
"Don't be afraid, and your heart rate has already told me that you regret it." Zhu Tian smiled and patted his shoulder, but did not accuse him of being timid: "It's normal to be afraid. Everyone is afraid of death. If you are afraid,
Then do as I say."
"I heard that there are thousands of mutants in No. 5." Kong Jie said with difficulty.
"To be precise, it's five thousand, maybe a little more, but that's not something you need to worry about. The mechanical exoskeleton must be mass-produced. No matter how many energy crystals you spend, you must get it for me before January next year.
Five hundred sets come out." Zhu Tian said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Even if one set has 900 energy points, five hundred sets will only cost 450,000 energy points. It is much cheaper than the ones in the Shuttle Gate Mall. Besides, the current Daming Base is not short of money, and the wealth accumulated in the early stage has been cashed in.
It's time to fight.
Swallowing again, Kong Jie looked at the serious look in his boss's eyes and nodded with difficulty.
"I try my best...but it's impossible for me to do it alone. I need assistants."
"How much do you want, just tell me."
"Let me think about it... it takes 10 people to hand-build the metal skeleton, 4 people to weld the chips, 8 people to draw the circuit, and modify the power system... A rough estimate is that at least 40 workers are needed.
Complete an assembly line. In this case, we should barely be able to complete 500 sets of mechanical exoskeletons before January next year." Kong Jie said with a wry smile.
The total population of the base, not counting the clone soldiers, is only over 200. Besides, everyone has a job. There is no way these 40 people can be spared.
However, what Zhu Tian said next made him stunned.
"Give you 80 people, can you double the output?"
"Yes, yes, but are there so many idle people in the base?" Kong Jie couldn't help but asked doubtfully.
"You don't need to worry about this, it will be available soon. From now on, you only need to study how to design this production line, how to train your assistants, and what materials need to be purchased. All personnel will be in place in five days." Zhu
Tianhaha laughed.
There are not that many people in the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base, but there are in Donggou Town!
More than 700 survivors were captured by mutants. All we have to do is get these people back.
As for whether they will be obedient...
In the wasteland, there is actually no essential difference between being rescued and being captured.
If they want to survive, they must obey.
...
After coming out of Kong Jie's laboratory, Zhu Tian went to the community center and found Wang Qing, who managed the base warehouse.
When he came to the office, the girl with freckles was checking the warehouse's account books as usual. When she saw Zhu Tianhou, her eyes lit up, she immediately put down her work, stood up and came over.
"I'm just here to check on the material situation at the base. Don't be so nervous." Zhu Tian smiled gently and joked.
Wang Qing's face blushed in embarrassment, she pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, took out the tablet terminal from the table, and began to show Zhu Tian the statistical data.
The first is the energy crystal.
After several trade accumulations, the stock of energy crystals in the Ming Dynasty survivor base has reached a terrifying 1.5 million. Due to the addition of many production lines, the energy crystal consumption last month reached 50,000. This includes
The procurement of raw materials and the direct consumption of energy by industrial production.
Zhu Tian asked Wang Qing to set aside 500,000 energy crystals as working capital for the acquisition of shares in the soon-to-be-established Tianyuan Base Bank. The other 500,000 energy crystals were used as production expenses. Even if a mechanical exoskeleton production line is added, it will be maintained until January next year.
More than enough.
The other thing is the arms reserve.
There are currently 200,000 rounds of ammunition in the base, 60% of which are produced in the military factory in the base. Since acquiring the bullet production line of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, the Ming Survivor Base has begun to provide self-produced arms.
The direction has developed.
There are also 5-kilogram mass bombs, which are the standard ammunition for the Type 50 electromagnetic gun. With the release of five Hunter Tigers converted from trucks, the production capacity of the military factory has also begun to tilt towards mass bombs. The current reserves are two
Hundreds of rounds are being replenished at a production rate of fifty rounds per day.
Then there are grain reserves.
After a period of consumption and a large amount of replenishment during the last return, the base currently has 80 tons of rice, 20 tons of potatoes, and some easy-to-preserve vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, carrots, and celery, totaling 5 tons. Sausages,
5 tons of pickled products such as bacon.
Ever since Zhu Tian discovered that buying canned goods is not as cheap as buying fresh goods, the canteen of the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base no longer provides canned food. All canned goods are only for sale or to reward survivors with meritorious services.
According to the calculation of one pound of rice per person per day, this food is more than enough to support a thousand people for two years. Considering that more than 700 survivors are about to join, the food consumption rate is bound to accelerate. But even so, this batch of food supports
Still no problem after half a year.
"By the way, the base is planning to add a new mechanical exoskeleton production line. Kong Jie will send the purchase list over in a moment. Send someone to Tianyuan Base to purchase it."
"Yes." Wang Qing nodded seriously, and then wrote down Zhu Tian's words on the tablet.
As the amount of materials in the base increased, one warehouse manager was obviously not enough. After consulting Wang Qing, Zhu Tian came to
A logistics department has been added to the administrative department of the base to manage warehouse materials, daily expenses and trade-related matters.
Originally, Li Xinran was in charge of the trade, and Chen Lan was in charge of the warehouse. However, after becoming his own woman, Chen Lan stopped taking care of things and instead focused on serving Zhu Tian, cooking for him, and taking care of the family. And Li Xinran is now also in charge.
It was a headache to worry about these trivial matters, so this task was left to the logistics department.
Wang Qing naturally serves as the head of the logistics department, and the number of people in the department has increased to 5, managing a total of 6 warehouses.
"I told you not to be so nervous." Seeing the little girl taking notes seriously, Zhu Tian couldn't help but smile.
Although this little girl has matured a lot compared to when she first came to the base, her blushing characteristic seems to have not changed at all.
"By the way, how is the situation of the pub opened by Chow Tai Fook in Tianyuan Base?"
Slightly regaining her previous composure, Wang Qing pushed up her glasses and said seriously: "I consumed 4,000 cans of beer in October and made a total profit of more than 40,000 energy points."
Hearing this, Zhu Tian nodded.
He doesn't care about the profitability of the tavern. What he cares about is how much useful information Chow Tai Fook can use the tavern's traffic to bring him. Anyway, those beers only cost three to five yuan a can in this world. If you wholesale them, the price is not bad.
Cheaper.
Of course, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. This income is not bad.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Seeing that Zhu Tian seemed to be in a good mood, Wang Qing hesitated and said.
"Um?"
"The raw material for plastics required for the base's production of automatic rifles and Hummingbird drones, namely Dum resin... is out of stock."
"Out of stock?" Zhu Tian was stunned and frowned slightly.
This is a big problem.
The threat of mutants is approaching. The arms factory in the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base is almost working in shifts to produce arms and supplies. However, now the Dam Resin is out of stock!
"The plantation that originally supplied us with dam resin terminated the contract and paid us a penalty of 1,000 energy points." Wang Qing said helplessly.
"reason!"
"With the increase in industrial volume in Tianyuan base, the price of Dam resin has increased by 20%, which is significantly higher than the price when we signed the contract. In addition, other companies have signed large long-term orders with them, so they
The contract was terminated suddenly and shamelessly." Wang Qing looked at Zhu Tian and said angrily.
"How much Damu resin is left in the base now?" Zhu Tian said in a deep voice.
"There are still 2 tons left, which is enough to maintain the base's production for a month."
"Well, I'll take care of this matter." Zhu Tian nodded.
Since Tianyuan Base cannot supply it, then the Ming Survivor Base can produce it on its own.
