Chapter 140 Impressive Manager

  【Type 20 "Needle" Gauss Rifle】

[Explanation: As the standard anti-equipment equipment of the orbital paratroopers, the Type 20 "Needle" Gauss rifle adopts a barrelless design and a hollowed-out magnetic guide. Its standard ammunition is a 9mm caliber and a mass of 100g "spike" fin-stabilized bullets . 】

  【When shooting with standard ammunition, the theoretical exit speed can reach Mach 5, and the muzzle kinetic energy is 144755 joules. Taking into account the special combat environment of the Orbital Airborne Forces, the Type 20 "Needle" Gauss rifle is designed to be able to launch conductive working fluid through side loading, such as truncated iron nails and steel balls, even if it does not have standard ammunition. However, it should be noted that when firing non-standard ammunition, the stability and accuracy of shooting cannot be guaranteed. Please refer to the manual for careful selection. 】

  144755 joules of muzzle kinetic energy!

  When Chu Guang saw this number for the first time, he thought he had made a mistake.

   If I remember correctly, the 20mm caliber M61 aviation cannon on the F16 fighter jet has a single engine energy of only about 50,000 joules.

  The muzzle kinetic energy exceeds 140,000 joules, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of a machine gun!

  Can this be called a gun? ? ?

  But if you only look at the caliber, there is nothing wrong with calling it a gun.

   Picking up the terrifyingly powerful Gauss rifle from the conveyor belt, Chu Guang held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then took off the heavy magazine.

  The bullet stuffed in the magazine is very long, and its shape is more like a long shuttle than a spike. The pattern on the tail is probably its "stabilizing tail", which allows the bullet to maintain a stable trajectory during flight.

  The Gauss rifle used by Lujan and his team members seems to adopt another technical route, that is, a fully enclosed magnetic track, and a rifled barrel is added in the middle of the magnetic track.

  Chu Guang noticed when he watched the screen through the drone before that their Gauss rifles needed to actively replace the overheated barrels after continuous shooting.

  Intuition tells Chu Guang that the barrelless design may have higher technical content, but the maintenance cost and use cost are hard to say.

   "I'm afraid the recoil is not small... Without an exoskeleton or power armor, it may not be able to control it."

   "There is also ammunition, 10 bullets are too few."

   "I don't know if it will work to make a bullet of a similar shape with tungsten steel."

  With the production conditions of the outpost base, it is impossible to expect the materials to be exactly the same, but it should not be a big problem to make bullets with similar shapes according to the gourd painting.

   These 10 "original bullets" Chu Guang intends to save some and save them for valuable targets. To deal with ordinary aliens, some imitation ammunition is almost enough.

  In addition, the optical sight on the gun body is also a good thing, with a maximum magnification of 12 times.

   It’s just that, perhaps because all the luck was spent on the advanced blind boxes, 11 junior blind boxes actually released 11 lollipops in a row.

   And it's all chocolate flavor.

  However, Chu Guang was in a good mood. Instead of raising his blood pressure, he gave each of Xia Yan and Xiao Yu a lollipop, sharing the joy in his heart at the moment.

  A cannon and a piece of armor.

   This wave is more than blood money.

   It's a fortune!

  …

  The next day was a rare sunny day.

  There is not a single cloud in the cloudless sky.

  However, the snow last night was very heavy. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers floated all night. When the day dawned, the thickest part of the snow did not even reach the knees.

   Still hired two nomads to clean.

   After inspecting the training of the guards, Chu Guang found Old Luca.

   "I've given you a task, and the details have been updated on your VM. Now go to the brick factory and pick two smarter survivors to be your assistants."

   "In a while, our allies will send people to us to register the list of labor dispatch, and then you can follow what I explained on the VM and take them away."

  Old Luca nodded respectfully.

   "Yes, my lord."

  Old Luca went in the direction of the brick factory not long after.

  Chu Guang soon saw through the drone in the sky that an off-road vehicle with big tires drove over from the north through the snow.

  There were 4 people in the car.

  Except for the driver in the car and the bodyguard sitting in the co-pilot wearing an exoskeleton with light weapons hanging on his body, the two people in the back row are not even equipped with an exoskeleton and only wear a uniform gray coat. They are probably civilians.

  The road conditions on the wasteland are very poor, especially in urban areas, where there can even be ten uneven folds on a single road. Some of the cracks were relatively wide, and even the buried pipelines leaked out, and the width difference was more than two meters.

   Not to mention that cars cannot pass, even people and animals are difficult to pass, so they can only walk around the ruins with deep enough foundations on the street.

  The road along the wreckage of the elevated road out of the city is not smooth, and many pits are buried by snow.

  Chu Guang watched from the sky, and Xiao Qi guessed when the car would break down. In the end, Xiao Qi guessed it right. About 1 kilometer away from the Wetland Park, the front wheel of the off-road vehicle fell directly into the ditch.

  Snow foam was rolled up to the sky, but no matter how the tire was embedded in the hole and idling, it just couldn't go up.

  The co-pilot and the driver could only get out of the car, holding the wheels with both hands, and lifted the front of the car out of the dark ditch with the brute force of the exoskeleton.

  Chu Guang originally planned to ask two power players to help him, but seeing this scene, he immediately gave up the idea.

   "The power of technology is still strong."

  When can I give my cute little players a whole set.

   Isn’t it fast to move bricks?

   With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Chu Guang looked at the group of people who got back into the car and drove to the north gate of Wetland Park, turned off the VM screen, went downstairs to the north gate and waited.

  …

  The off-road vehicle could not enter the Wetland Park, so the driver and the vehicle waited in front of the north gate of the park, while the other three got off the vehicle and continued on.

  The group arrived at the outpost quickly, met the manager at the north gate, and came to the reception room at his invitation.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Li De from the logistics department of the First Pioneering Corps of the Silver Wing Group affiliated to the company. Behind me is our colleague Luo Hua from the logistics department, who is in charge of the temporary office of your camp. Responsible for liaison and communication, and the other is Ace from the security department, who is mainly responsible for his safety."

   "Hello, Mr. Manager." The man named Luo Hua wore glasses and looked somewhat refined.

  The heroic female bodyguard just nodded to him, without saying anything, and did not participate in the topic, as if there was no atmosphere.

  Holding Li Deshen's right hand and shaking it, Chu Guang had a spring-like smile on his face.

   "Chu Guang, manager of Shelter 404, it's a great honor to cooperate with you. Please sit down."

  Handsome faces always make people feel good.

   Even though his facial muscles were stiffened by the north wind, after seeing Chu Guang's smile, Li De squeezed out an equally friendly smile from his face.

  It is much more comfortable to communicate with civilized people.

  It doesn't matter if you are poor, at least you can communicate.

  The natives that Li De met along the way really made him fed up, and he couldn't communicate in a civilized way at all.

   Except for the bodyguard standing at the door on duty, the three people in the room sat down one after another.

   Li De didn't go around in circles either. After sitting down, he went straight to the topic and took out a tablet computer from his bag.

"So let's get started, I've provided a list here of what we can offer you. We're still charging 1CR per hour for each labor force, 200 people working 10 hours a day, and a daily wage The total expenditure is 2000CR...this is our budget."

  Chu Guang took the tablet from his hand, swiped his index finger across the screen, and glanced at the list above.

  In general, the purchasing power of CR is still very strong.

  Perhaps because the production line was carried on the track, the prices on the list are closer to the local level of the East Coast than those who don’t know where they come from, and even feel cheaper than the local survivors’ strongholds on the East Coast.

  1CR can wholesale many commodities.

It's just that when he saw one kilogram of starch, one kilogram of glucose, one kilogram of sucrose, one kilogram of amino acids (30 kinds of lysine, tryptophan, etc.)... these strange trading varieties, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment .

   Can you disassemble the product into molecules and sell it?

  Of course, in addition to these too hard-core varieties, there are also normal trading varieties.

   Such as rice, wheat and corn, the price of these agricultural products is 2CR per kilogram.

  Chu Guang remembers that the starch content of rice is only 75%, so buying rice will be more expensive than buying starch?

   In addition, there are meatloaf or minced meat of plant meat, which only costs 2CR per kilogram, which is actually the same price as rice and wheat.

   In any of the survivor gathering places in Qingquan City, it is impossible to sell meat at the same price as what grows in the ground!

   In addition, processed foods are also on the list.

  A type C nutrition package with a net content of 430g requires 1CR, which contains a normal diet that is sufficient to maintain a person’s daily meal needs of carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and other mineral nutrients. However, there seems to be a bit of water in it, and a Type A nutrition package with a net content of 800g actually costs 8CR.

  Is this a family bucket?

  The food that can be traded is basically these. Starting from 10CR, the trading varieties have become some daily necessities and industrial products.

  For example, the price of one kilogram of sulfur soap is exactly 10CR, and 10 pieces can be cut out according to the net content of 100 grams, which is equivalent to one piece of 1CR.

   Another example is salt. They only sell refined salt, or pure sodium chloride, which also only costs 10CR per kilogram.

   It is very interesting that their salt price is equivalent to 10 times that of grain and 10 times that of meat. Chu Guang couldn't decide for a moment whether it was cheap or expensive.

   Anyway, at his place, salt is sold by "two".

   Then starting from the 100CR gear, some good things will appear.

  For example, a submachine gun that sells for 200CR, and an assault rifle that sells for 300CR. There is also a bulletproof vest for 100CR and a heavy full protection body armor for 300CR.

   Bullets are very cheap, you can buy three bullets in 1CR, which is equivalent to a catty of rice.

   "Why no Gauss rifles?"

  Chu Guang directly pulled the list to the bottom, but he found some production tools that he might use, but he didn't find the power armor and Gauss rifle he wanted more.

   Li Deban said with a positive expression.

   "Sorry, Mr. Manager, our power armor and Gauss rifles are the lives of soldiers, and this cannot be sold."

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Understood, I took the liberty."

understood.

  It seems that it is not easy for you to produce that thing, at least not to the extent that you have a set of people.

  In Chu Guang’s impression, although the principle of the coil gun is very simple, it is actually a very costly technology. The money was spent so much that the Americans installed the guns on the ship, and then dismantled them after defrauding military expenses.

   Think about it too, how cheap is traditional artillery?

  It is easy to maintain, one shot will blow up, and if the barrel is broken, replace it and continue firing.

  Chu Guang studied all night yesterday, but he didn't figure out what material was used for the magnetic rail of the Type 20 "Needle" Gauss rifle, and he didn't dare to take it off to have a look.

  He is not stupid.

  What if the magnetic track is filled with metal hydrogen?

   That’s not going to blow up directly.

  Studying black technology is more exciting than opening a blind box. After thinking about it, Chu Guang decided not to bother, let alone understanding it may not be possible, because there is no equipment and preconditions to understand it.

  Any small breakthrough is the accumulation of thousands of subjects and tens of thousands of experimental results. The equivalent change has accumulated into a qualitative change, which is specific to a certain mature technology, which contains tens of thousands of tiny breakthroughs.

  So let’s open the blind box.

  At least the things that come out of the blind box can be used immediately.

  With guns, there will be food, with food, there will be people, and with talents, industry will be developed, territory will be expanded, and garbage will be picked up farther away. When the food, electricity and mines are all in operation, and the production capacity has also increased, then we can talk about technology trees.

  Otherwise, it will not work for anyone.

  Chu Guang: "There is no problem with the treatment. Here we need...well, 10 copper coins for one kilogram of rice. So in conversion, I think the reasonable exchange rate is 1CR for 5 copper coins."

  Chu Guang originally wanted to say that 2CR was exchanged for 1 silver coin.

  But after thinking about it, I changed the term "high EQ".

  However, I didn't expect that this quartermaster friend didn't appreciate it at all, and shook his head and said.

   "Mr. Manager, my words may be a bit straightforward. Our captain is a rough man and really doesn't understand these things, but do you think I don't understand either?"

"Let's not make such a hassle, and it's meaningless to exchange each other's money. We can't stay here forever. We will pay you all the money directly according to the hourly salary standard of 1CR. As for what you plan to give How much silver coins your residents pay is your internal issue, and we will not interfere."

"As for the problem you raised that CR cannot be circulated normally, we have already solved it for you. The list in your hand was summed up overnight by our colleagues in the logistics department. I believe that the materials listed above must be more expensive than yours. Richer than any caravan you've seen here, don't you think?"

  To sum up, you can't fool me.

  You can pay as much hourly salary as you like to the person who loves you, anyway, that's all we give.

  Everything is sold to you at cost price, which is enough conscience.

  Chu Guang, who has been in sales for so many years, of course could understand what he meant, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

   "That's fine."

   Originally, he also wanted to say that the minimum hourly salary of his people (players) is 1 silver coin, which should be 2CR in conversion. But I didn't expect that he was quite smart and didn't want his money at all.

   Seeing Chu Guang expressed his affirmative attitude, Li De looked at him cautiously and said.

   "So can I take it that we have a consensus?"

  Lu Yang bragged to him yesterday, saying that the manager of Vault 404 is a very straightforward person, and they reached a consensus in less than ten minutes.

   Now it seems that it's not that this guy is refreshing, but that their captain is too refreshing...

"It's half done," Chu Guang nodded, and continued, "Your captain promised me that he would provide food and lodging for our people. After all, there is a distance of 10 kilometers from us to your place, and it is impossible for our people to So much time is wasted on the road every day. And eating, which is also a big problem.”

   Li De was still feeling for blood pressure medicine in his pocket when he heard the first sentence "Half achieved", but he relaxed his nerves only after hearing the second half of the sentence.

  This is a reasonable request.

"Don't worry about this. We have built a temporary camp for your workers. Although it is not as comfortable as the shelter, there is no problem with wind and warmth. Don't worry about meals, we will prepare a mobile kitchen for you. Provide three meals a day according to the standard of 1CR per meal."

   Chu Guang nodded, thoughtfully.

   "Each meal is 1CR, so one day is 3CR?"

   Li De froze slightly, then nodded cautiously.

   "Uh, yes sir."

  Chu Guang smiled on his face.

"According to the standard of 3CR per person per day, you can directly send the money to us. We will centrally purchase and prepare our own food. In this way, you don't need to prepare any mobile kitchens, just give us some pots and utensils for cooking. ,What do you think?"

   Li De looked confused.

  Is that okay too? ? ?

  However, he did not express his opinion immediately, but silently calculated the cost in his heart.

  If mobile kitchens are to be deployed in these workers’ camps, the actual cost will be at least 1,000 CR per day, and you will have to wrestle if you eat something bad.

  When they cooperated with indigenous people before, they had similar problems.

   According to the standard of 3CR per person per day, 200 people are 600CR, the cost is directly cut by 40%, and there is no risk.

  Li De nodded decisively in agreement.

"OK!"

  Chu Guang also decisively extended his right hand.

"make a deal!"

  …

  After reaching a consensus, the two parties quickly drew up a contract in black and white, signed their respective names on it, and pressed their fingerprints instead of the official seal.

  At this moment, Li De finally realized the captain's evaluation of the manager as "refreshing".

really.

   His efficiency is impressive.

   It’s a shame to stay here...

  Luo Hua, who was the person in charge of the office, stayed, while Li De set off under the **** of Aisi, and returned to the boarding point at the entrance of the Wetland Park.

  Afterwards, she will return to the outpost, and Luo Hua will use the materials they brought to build a simple barracks as an office location.

   "The conditions here are too crude...they are still using the original steelmaking method to produce steel." Looking at the big chimney to the south, Luo Hua couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  Ace did not comment on these facilities, but said after a while of silence.

   "That person is strong."

   "Strong?"

   "Well, it's an awakened person, probably has the first stage."

   "Which one?" Luo Hua looked up curiously, and found that there were quite a few shelter residents around.

   These people also looked at them curiously, wondering what they were looking at.

   "The one you talked to earlier."

   "You mean their manager?" Luo Hua looked surprised, "But I remember awakening—"

   "Experienced countless trials of life and death, at least once through the gate of hell."

  Ace still had a blank expression on his face, but there was a hint of caution in his pupils, and he rarely said a word.

   It seems that the captain's evaluation is correct.

   "That person is strong."
