Chapter 109

At the moment of entering No. 81 steel plant, Chu Guang felt that the temperature around him had risen several degrees, so that he even felt a little hot in a deer skin coat.

Looking forward, I saw two large and small stoves in the middle of the workshop.

The shell of these furnaces is cast by molds, and the inside is covered with silica and other refractory materials as acid furnace lining.

One blast furnace with a blower is responsible for heating the scrap steel stuffed into the furnace to 1300 degrees and melting it into molten iron, while the other converter, which is erected by the concrete base and has six air inlets at the bottom, is responsible for blowing and refining the 1300 degrees molten iron into qualified molten steel.

This process does not require reheating.

The heat released in the oxidation process is enough to raise the molten steel in the furnace from 1300 ° C to 1600 ~ 1700 ° C, add a certain amount of chromium in a specific proportion, dump the converter after smelting, inject the molten steel into the mold made of refractory materials, and roll it repeatedly by a pair of rollers.

In order to facilitate operation, they installed many pulleys and slings on the ceiling. Many of these materials were removed from the waste tire factory, and the quality is still very reliable.

At present, No. 81 iron and steel plant is only a small workshop, and there is no condition to accurately measure the carbon content in the converter. The technical principle used is only the acid bottom blown converter steelmaking method improved by "modern" experience in the middle of the 19th century.

Chu Guang didn't know much about steelmaking, but his intuition told him that this thing was more professional than the local blast furnace that Lao Bai had made before.

Especially the pair of rolls, and the simple motor wound with copper wire connected next to the rolls, even his layman thinks it is OK.

At least it looks more reliable than rolling with a hammer.

It seems that there is a lack of stamping machine and can't make seamless steel pipe, but if you work hard, the problem should not be big!

Brother Levin quickly closed the door of the factory and took the manager to their workbench to show their achievements these days.

"20mm arc armor, made according to your size! This removable steel plate can be perfectly connected to the front of KV-1 exoskeleton, and provide a large armor inclination for your heart and other key parts to avoid fatal injury. In addition, at your request, we have designed two special keels for this armor, which can be quickly disassembled and replaced even if the armor is completely scrapped New armor! "

"According to our performance test, this steel plate can perfectly defend against 5mm, 7mm, 9mm and other caliber rifles and pistol bullets fired from any distance! As long as you hang it on your chest, you can retreat calmly even in the face of a hail of bullets!"

Chu Guang took the curved steel plate in his hand and weighed it. It was estimated that it weighed 50 or 60 kilograms.

It's just an armor.

If the back is also equipped with arc-shaped steel plates of similar size, the armor of the whole upper body may weigh 100 kilograms.

Without an exoskeleton, it's not that easy to wear this thing. Even in the middle ages, the whole body plate armor was only 25 ~ 30 kg in fact, and it was difficult to exceed 45 kg with horse harness.

And this is just a breastplate.

"What about the other parts?"

The toilet rope brother standing on one side immediately interrupted.

"It's all here! In addition to the front armor, we also designed corresponding rear armor and bulletproof lining to protect your torso! But for your safety, we still don't recommend you to stand in the front line of the battlefield. After all, such windy armor will certainly become the target of face-to-face fire collection."

Chu Guang smiled.

Jokes.

Even you can think of it. I can't think of it?

So far, Chu Guang will go up to pick up a head and show the players a "plot animation" when the victory or defeat has been divided.

As for the charge, how did he steal the limelight from the players?

It's enough to whistle at the right time.

However, it seems that this armor can not only be used by yourself, but it should also be very easy to use for the meat mountain steamed bun and the garbage gentleman.

Their panel properties are very good. Their initial strength value is close to 10. They can carry it by a few levels.

Since there is a parallel foot debuff, it is difficult to operate complex machines, and can't do the work of living professional players. It happens to be used as a tank.

A burly white bear or lizard man charging in heavy armor is shocking just imagine.

20mm steel plate is enough for the two monsters to rush into the back of the enemy's bunker before their armor is broken by light weapons.

Chu Guang checked the protective equipment of other parts, including the helmet, which can basically cover more than 90% of the parts in front of him and 100% of the key points.

With a nitrogen powered hammer, he doesn't need to rush against fierce fire. He just needs to be prepared for a sneak attack at a critical time.

"The total weight of armor is 220 kg, exceeding 20 kg, but it's not a big problem," Chu Guang put down his armor and looked at the two players. "Can I have a try?"

Brother Levin and brother toilet rope nodded together with an excited expression on their faces.

"Of course! We're ready!"

"Please be sure to try!"

What's the point if you don't try the equipment?

With that, brother Levin and brother toilet rope struggled to carry a 100 kilogram breastplate, put it on a wooden pile as a target, and then quickly hid to one side to avoid accidental injury by stray bullets.

Chu Guang looked at the distance, about 30 meters. Then he pulled out the 10mm silver revolver from his waist and shot at the breastplate.

Bang -!

The roar of thunder reverberated in the factory building, and the muzzle of the gun was like electricity. I saw the breastplate hanging on the stake, as if it had been struck by lightning, and overturned back with the stake.

I didn't expect this gun to be so powerful!

The two players widened their eyes and hurriedly gathered together to see. When they saw the bullet embedded in the steel plate, they were relieved.

"Yes, but not completely!"

"This warhead is good, but it didn't bounce off. It's just that the bullets are flattened... Hiss, so hot." brother Levin reached out to touch the warhead and pulled back his fingers like an electric shock.

It doesn't hurt, but it seems to blister.

He walked over and took a look at the armor plate lying on the ground. Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

"You did a good job. It seems that your steel plant has been on the right track. The reward for completing the task has been distributed to the enterprise account of No. 81 steel plant, a total of 200 silver coins!"

"In addition, for your excellent personal performance, I will reward you with an additional 20 silver coins and 200 contributions in the name of the manager."

After listening to the manager's words, the faces of the two players were filled with joy and excitement.

I didn't expect that there would be additional rewards for completing this task!

"Thank you, manager!!"

"We must continue to work hard! Carry forward and strengthen No. 81 iron and steel plant!"

"Very good, very ambitious!" Chu Guang coughed, looked slightly neat, and continued seriously. "Next, I have two important tasks to give you."

"At present, the outpost lacks heavy armor and seamless steel for the production of gun barrel. I need you to produce 10 sets of chest armor with a weight of less than 30kg. It is required that the residents of the standard shape shelter can wear normally, mainly for the residents of the power department."

"In addition, I also need you to produce 10 seamless steel pipes with a diameter of 7mm, which are required to be able to withstand the chamber pressure produced by rifle bullets."

"The task details and rewards have been updated in your VM. Please check them in time."

After hearing this, brother Sisuo and brother Levin immediately stood up straight and shouted in high morale.

"Guarantee to complete the task!"

Good.

Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction and finally asked them to say something like "pay attention to production safety".

Then he put on his fully protected and improved exoskeleton and left the furnace like steel plant with a sledgehammer on his back.

Outside the plant.

The heavy snow stopped for a while, and the sky in the distance gradually deepened.

It's time for the NPCs to rest. The arms store at the outpost has been closed.

With today's salary, Xia Yan from the weapons store walked curiously to the North Gate market with a crutch.

Looking at the variety of goods on the stall, she widened her eyes in surprise.

Of course, the most surprised is the players.

They have never seen boss Xia leave his weapons shop, let alone come to the market at the north gate.

"Shit, the landlady of the weapons store came out?"

"Awesome! Now NPCs can buy players' things!?"

"Wait, isn't the manager buying all the time? I saw him steal food here long ago!"

"Can that be the same? Manager, that's the son of planning! Besides, didn't you listen to planning? The codes of other NPCs are based on their source codes. Obviously, his AI has evolved, and other NPCs have become smarter! Maybe all NPCs can buy our things in the future!"

"Shit, when you say that, how do I feel like a game?"

"Emmmm... Do you develop managers? It seems that there is nothing wrong with him. After all, he is so smart now, at least half of our credit."

“……”

Sometimes Chu Guang really hopes his ears are not so sharp, or someone will misunderstand him that he is small-minded.

Heaven and earth conscience, isn't he not selfless enough?

A man of principle like him has almost disappeared from the wasteland!

"Here you are."

The voice that suddenly floated in his ear interrupted Chu Guang's thoughts.

Looking sideways, I saw Xia Yan with a crutch between his elbows and a string of roast deer leg meat in one hand.

"Last time, you invited me to have soup, this time I invited you to eat roast deer legs!"

With a crutch between his elbows and Kadeer leg meat in his hand, this action is somewhat funny.

Chu Guang smiled and took over the deer leg.

"You're welcome. However, as your boss, I'd like to remind you that you'd better save some money on your salary."

Xia Yan bit the barbecue and blinked.

"What is saving flowers?"

"Don't you have the habit of saving?"

"Saving?"

"Forget it," Chu Guang said slowly after blowing the hot deer leg, gently tearing off a small piece with his teeth, chewing it carefully and swallowing it, "when I didn't say."

Xia Yan: "

After such a long time of ease, he almost forgot his time on Bette street.

The vast majority of people on the waste land count day by day. How can there be the concept of saving?

I don't know which day the chips saved will become something in others' pockets. It's better to spend every day happily.

At this time, a player suddenly ran from a distance, shouting excitedly while running.

"There are a lot of people coming from the North! There are about fifty or sixty of them moving south along the exit viaduct... Maybe sixty or seventy, and holding a few camels and cattle! I'm not sure who they are!"

The small players at the entrance of the market immediately talked one after another.

"Is it a caravan?"

"I'm GIAO, a businessman again!"

"Didn't you say the last wave of winter?"

"I don't know. Strictly speaking, last time should be the last wave, but then there was another wave? No wonder!"

Looking at the "players" who were talking about it, Xia Yan glanced at VM and saw that there was no movement. He glanced at the expression on Chu Guang's face and found that his expression was gradually dignified.

Even if she didn't know how to observe words and expressions, she guessed that something bad must have happened.

So the speed of light finished half of the roast deer leg in his hand. Xia Yan grabbed the crutch and asked in a low voice.

"What happened?"

"Eighty percent are nomads."

"Nomads?! what are they doing in Qingquan city at this time? It's snowing so hard." Xia Yan was surprised.

She has heard rumors about nomads, although they are not very good rumors.

"I don't know. This year's snow is very sudden, more than a month earlier than in previous years. War, famine and wave... These are not unique to Qingquan City, and Mainland China is not just a river valley province."

Nomads on the waste land do not refer to those herders, but those who have lost their homes, are forced to wander, and make a living by hunting and scavenging.

They usually represent disaster, chaos and ominous, but they do not burn, kill and loot as blatantly as marauders.

Maybe one day they found a suitable home, settled down and embarked on the road of order.

It is also possible to suddenly find a lot of weapons, evil to the side of courage, break through the moral bottom line, and completely fall into the chaotic and evil camp.

Of course, this possibility is actually very small, just like buying lottery tickets. Maybe only one or two of 10000 samples won the prize.

Before, Liu Zhengyue of brown farm misunderstood that Chu Guang brought a lot of dried meat to Trade grain, and they were nomads wandering in this area.

I didn't expect to meet you this time

"You go back to the shelter first."

If they continue to move forward, they will certainly find the brick factory in the northwest corner of Linghu Wetland Park.

Without nonsense and Xia Yan's explanation, Chu Guang looked at the players at the entrance of the market and raised the volume.

"Everyone gather."

"Take your weapons and meet them with me!"
