Chapter 162

[full service announcement: the outpost has obtained a "magnetic confinement plasma processing machine tool" with durability of 99% and industrial index of + 100]

[Note 1: the machine tool can produce metal parts with arbitrary geometry. Now players can submit relevant drawings to the manager assistant, explain the purpose, and obtain the quotation and material demand. The drawings can be drawn in the game or submitted in electronic files through the personal page of the official website.]

[Note 2: the processing equipment can only change the geometric shape of the material, not the properties of the material itself, and the cutting process will produce waste. If you want to process the steel ingot into steel pipe, please preprocess it and process it into rod shape or similar rod shape. If you want to process the copper ingot into copper wire, please use the wire drawing machine instead of occupying valuable machine tool resources.]

[Note 3: the specification of input processing materials is limited to 1x1x1m, and the materials beyond the specification cannot be processed.]

The announcement was made at 6 p.m.

This point is just the peak for players to go online and offline.

Whether it's the brick moving players who go to the north town to pick up garbage or the hunter players who fight wild in elmu District, most of them have returned to the action camp.

Looking at the announcement jumping out of the VM, the little players' faces showed surprised expressions.

"Magnetically confined plasma machine tool?"

"Or CNC?"

"What kind of sewing monster is this? How come I've never heard of it?"

"If you've heard of it, it's a coincidence. In reality, one minute can be regarded as' high constraint 'and' long pulse '. Do you understand what it means? Forget it, you don't understand it."

"Hey, these people who play games have big brain holes and don't make drafts when they boast!"

Although Chu Guang wanted to share this joy with them, people's joys and sorrows were different.

The vast majority of players do not know how hard this machine tool has been won, let alone how many sacrifices have been made by small players who can't go online because of bugs.

They just think that boss Xia has another workbench. Now he can not only punch weapons, but also give weapons inscriptions?

Anyway, they are all redundant functions!

Smart little players are associated with the update of alpha version 0.8.

The industrial index of outposts increased by 100 points from 150 points to 250 points... That is, an increase of 250%?

Doesn't that mean the weapons store is going to be new!?

Some small players, who are relatively criminal and just in the outpost base, excitedly took steel ingots and went to the manager's assistant for inquiry according to the instructions on the announcement.

Some wanted to make an axe, others wanted to make steel ingots into rifles, but in the end most of them left swearing.

Why?

Because it's not worth it!

The start-up fee of the machine tool is as high as 100 silver, and the processing quotation of an axe is as high as 100 silver, which adds up to 200 silver.

With this money, you can buy twenty axes! If it is wholesale from No. 81 steel plant, it is estimated that there will be some left.

As for rifles, the price for processing a rifled barrel is 200 silver, and players have to provide rod-shaped steel.

If not, plasma thermal welding is also required for operation, and the quotation is doubled directly.

With this money, it's enough to buy two at the weapons store!

But think about it, an ordinary rifle doesn't need such an advanced machine tool. It's completely uneconomical in cost.

At this time, No. 81 steel plant.

Sitting on the small bench [ya'er, I want to go to the toilet cable], he touched his chin in one hand and held the steel ingot in the other hand. After staring and thinking for a long time, he choked out a word.

"I speculate that the machine tool should be used to make production tools!"

His good friend [Ward's beriberi] rolled his eyes.

"It's no use talking about it! Take tens of millions of CNC machine tools in the laboratory to mill seamless steel pipes. If your boss hammers or not, you'll be finished."

Brother toilet rope: "er... I think he'll be scared to call the police and send me in."

Brother Levin: "the cost of this machine tool is really a little high. I don't think it's for individual players at all. The startup fee alone is 100 silver coins. Unless it's an enterprise sponsored by the shelter, it's enough for ordinary self-employed!"

Brother toilet rope: "that's not necessarily, mosquito man must be enough!"

Brother Levin: "he won't say it. That guy says punishment to everyone. By the way, how much money do we have in our account?"

Brother miansuo: "4000 silver... The new couple came in and bought a lot of axes and arrows. Why? They want to pay dividends?"

Brother Levin: "Damn it! This money is enough for wool. I'm going to get out the hot piercer. This machine tool should be able to process those parts that can't be made before. When we have the piercer, we can make seamless steel pipes!"

Hearing this, brother zisuo's eyes lit up.

"Cow, brother! I want to go together!"

Brother Levin rolled his eyes: "don't be a cow. I'll be offline soon. You go and upload the drawings. Let's get a simpler one. I guess it won't be too expensive."

Brother zisuo smiled.

"OK, brother, I just did this!"

……

Just as brother Levin and brother toilet cable were discussing how to expand and strengthen the seamless steel pipe industry and create brilliance on the waste soil, on the third floor of the sanatorium not far away, Xiao Qi raised the camera and looked at Chu Guang standing aside, whispering.

"Master, is the price you set too expensive?"

At least a dozen people inquired just now, but as soon as they heard that the startup fee was 100 silver coins, they were immediately frightened and turned around and left.

It costs 100 silver to start. It's money!

Hearing Xiao Qi's suggestion, Chu Guang didn't think so.

"It's not expensive at all. I even think it's cheap. They think it's expensive just because they don't have a deep understanding of the version, which means they're not our target customers at all. If there's no threshold, God knows what drawings they'll get. Do you want to make a pile of broken javelins and axes with that?"

Find boss Xia for such a thing!

Her two worktables, one DIY and the other picked up, can do this thing.

Xiao Qi seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand. In its view, if it is not allowed to be used to produce those things, will it be OK to directly stipulate that it is not allowed to be used?

Why go around in a circle and use the "threshold" to limit it.

Chu Guang does not intend to explain his intention and the difference between human behavior logic and AI algorithm.

I don't know.

Chu Guang doesn't object to players playing some strange ideas, but he needs to pass the restrictions of rules to let players consider whether it's worth it before they play their ideas.

As Xiao Qi said, this machine tool is not used to produce those rough things at all.

Take the AK47 he made earlier as an example. 6kg of steel made 3kg of workpieces, half of which were cut into bizarre steel waste, which could only be sent back to the steelmaking plant.

In addition, there are electricity consumed and inert gases naturally lost in use. These are visible costs, not to mention invisible hidden costs.

The real purpose of this thing is to produce "tools for production", or to process some high-precision and cutting-edge equipment with "high-tech added value" when materials are available.

The latter is not considered for the time being, and the former is the main goal at this stage.

Chu Guang plans to come step by step. First, let his small players get a hot punch out and solve the problem of the barrel.

Regardless of the complex technologies of three roll continuous rolling and centering straightening, one piercer is enough for the simple production of seamless steel pipe.

Whether we can produce in batches, with high efficiency, quality and quantity is the next thing. We must have the production capacity before we can find a way to optimize it.

For a long time in the future, seamless steel pipe will become the most important pillar industry of No. 404 shelter.

As for the process of gearbox.

Chu Guang hesitated between the milling gearbox and the stamping gearbox for a while, and finally chose the latter.

Although the milling gearbox is more modern and has higher precision, the disadvantages are also obvious. It not only wastes materials, but also has high requirements for personnel and equipment, and the production efficiency is even lower.

For example, the AK47 he previously made with a machine tool, strictly speaking, is milling the gearbox, and even the barrel and rifling in the barrel are cut by a single atom knife.

The stamping gearbox is different. In addition to the difficulty of making molds, the whole production process has almost no technical content, and the efficiency of mass production is especially high.

The only disadvantage is poor accuracy, but compared with its two advantages of cheapness and durability, this disadvantage is not a disadvantage at all, but a small defect at most.

After all, in this environment on the waste soil, the average combat distance is less than 100 meters. No matter how accurate the shooting is, it is not as fast and stable as shooting.

Based on the stamping process, Chu Guang plans to design a 7mm caliber rifle directly following AK's gearbox.

Compared with the upper and lower casing design and seven protruding bamboo shoots locking of AR series rifles, the U-shaped casing and two protruding bamboo shoots locking design of AK are more than twice as difficult in production, and the mold can even be directly punched out with a whole piece of steel.

What's the concept of being able to punch out with a whole piece of steel?

It can be mass produced like ink paper under the printer, and can be used with gun barrel and solid wood butt, which perfectly meets the operational requirements in the waste soil environment.

There is no reason why this thing sells well in the third world.

Especially in places where human life is worthless, guns must be as cheap as possible.

How wasteful it is not to die?

……

The next day.

The door of the weapons store was crowded. Last night, many small players ran back from the action camp, waiting for the weapons store to open.

Boss Xia, yawning, has long been used to it.

As usual, she opened the store on time. She moved out the two samples that Chu Guang asked her to make yesterday and hung them on the semi open window.

Those are two solid wood and pure steel rifles.

One of them has a compact layout. The butt and magazine are standard assault rifle shapes. The sight can be installed on the top guide rail, and the grip can be installed under the barrel.

The other has a significantly longer barrel and gearbox. The magazine embedded in the gun body only shows a triangular outline and looks slightly wider.

What they have in common is that they both have rough appearance and atmospheric lines, and their appearance is very similar, like a good brother on and off an assembly line. Not only the appearance is similar, the names of the two guns are also very similar. The long one is called ld-47s and the short one is called ld-47.

Besides, they have a coquettish nickname——

Sickle!

"Lying trough, today's weapons store is really new! Elder brother Fang is awesome!"

"I understand this! Ld-47s should be a sniper!"

"I see! It's 98K!"

"98K a ghost! It's obviously a sniper!"

"Wait, that short... How can I look more like AK?"

"Be confident and get rid of the doubt. The operator is lazy again. It's probably copying the CF skin directly!"

The price of the two guns is very cheap. The long 250 silver coins and the short 200 silver coins are only twice as expensive as the iron tube rifle!

Now as long as it's an old player, who doesn't have two hundred silver coins in his pocket? Especially the game with the Legion, the basic income has 150 silver coins!

Many people are still hesitating. The quick eyed tail has already shot.

"Landlady! Give me a whole tail! The long one! The short one for Sisi."

When the female player with short hair turned white, Xia Yan yawned and jumped out a few words from her mouth.

"Samples, not for sale. If you want to buy, wait two days."

Hearing this unskilled and non-standard Mandarin, the players around were stunned.

holy crap

The landlady not only changed her legs, but also updated her voice package!

Epic enhancement!

Just when there was a commotion at the door of the weapons store, the industrial area in the South was equally busy.

As soon as many self-employed life career small players just went online and were about to take a truck to the action camp to go to the market, a pile of orders came out of the VM's taskbar.

Among them, there are requirements for the production of wooden butt and grip, which are not difficult. It can even be said that it is OK to have hands.

The slightly more difficult ones are those that require grinding lenses and making optical sight, which can be said to be of various types.

These tasks have one thing in common, that is, the rewards are quite rich, and due to the update of alpha version 0.8, there is an additional 10% bonus for orders!

In addition, the top 100 orders of various commodities have additional contribution points, rewards and regional reputation.

If this is missed, it's still human?!

With such a rich reward, many small players who mainly focus on life and career suddenly move high. One or two pick up tools and rush to work in their small workshop. They want to weld their hips on the bench.

Of course, compared with those self-employed people who do manual work, what they really enjoy is a "large producer" with shelter investment.

Early in the morning, the No. 81 steel plant at the outpost received an exclusive order -- [produce 100 boxes and 100 gun barrels for the outpost]

This order has clear requirements for the material, specification, size and even processing accuracy of the product, and the production is not easy.

But it doesn't matter!

Importantly, the wise manager not only offered a generous price of 4000 silver coins, but also paid 50% of the order in advance as an advance payment.

The sudden "windfall" hit brother Lansuo and brother Levin dizzy.

Although the money is in the enterprise account, it is also money!

Stimulated by the order, the two who were still a little hesitant went to the manager's assistant to customize a large number of parts, without saying a word, with a deposit of 4000 silver coins and a large amount of steel in the inventory, and prepared to work hard to complete the punch for punching the barrel and the stamping die for making the casing.

In addition, they had just received the warm advance payment of 2000 silver coins, and they both smashed them in to release the waste collection task and order the raw materials needed for production.

Although there was no money left in the account of the steel plant, they didn't feel anything wrong. Instead, they felt that the future could be expected.

On the surface, in order to complete the order, they not only didn't make money, but also put the money in their pockets.

But can we just look at the surface?

Of course not!

The money spent did not disappear, but changed into a more advanced form and stayed with them forever.

With the punch and stamping die, they will be able to complete more orders, further reduce the production cost, further improve the efficiency and completely roll up the snowball.

This wave is more than good.

It's a win, okay!

Coincidentally, as the major shareholder of the steel plant, the wise and powerful manager also thinks so.

For Chu Guang, whether money or not is a trivial matter. The key is that such a wave of operation has not only greatly improved the production capacity of the steel plant, but also reduced the logistics pressure of the outpost.

What he paid was only a few thousand happy beans.

This wave may not be a win.

It should be said to be win-win!

After all, he won twice.

In addition to the gun itself, Chu Guang plans to put all the wooden butt, three edged bayonet, magazine, drum, bipod, optical sight and other accessories together.

In the future, just by selling accessories and bullets, we can recover a lot of silver coins, and even dump the excess production capacity to the surrounding survivors, and even export it back to Honghe town and Jushi city.

Chu Guang is sure that as long as his weapons are cheap enough, those mercenaries and caravan guards who can't afford too expensive weapons will love themselves.

"But... At that time, it will be impossible to use game currency as currency."

Although the game coins produced in the pre war era have excellent production technology and certain anti-counterfeiting ability, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the number is limited.

Players can use electronic money, but those wasters won't admit what they can't see. They don't even believe in paper money.

Moreover, Chu Guang was not sure whether the dealer named sun Shiqi had left a hand, such as secretly hiding a bag of coins and not selling them to himself.

Such a thing is not impossible.

Looking at the outpost Industrial Zone in full swing and bustling again, Chu Guang silently made up his mind.

"We must launch the second generation currency as soon as possible!"

The work must be finished before the end of winter.

Once winter is over, the trade in the northern suburbs of Qingquan city will become active again. At that time, players will usher in a more open, broader and more challenging world.

At this time, the familiar voice came from behind, pulling Chu Guang's thoughts back to the present from the distance.

The fully armed commander nodded slightly and said respectfully, "Dear manager, we are ready. When will we start?"

Standing up from the chair, Chu Guang held the Warhammer aside and hung it behind his back.

"Now."
