Chapter 140 Impressive Managers

  【Type 20 "Thorn" Gauss Rifle】

[Note: As the standard anti-material equipment of the orbital airborne troops, the Type 20 "Thorn" Gauss Rifle adopts a barrelless design and a hollow magnetic guide. Its standard ammunition is a "spike" tail stabilized bullet with a caliber of 9mm and a mass of 100g. . 】

  [When shooting with standard ammunition, the theoretical discharge speed can reach Mach 5, and the kinetic energy of the muzzle is 144755 joules. Taking into account the special combat environment of orbital airborne troops, the Type 20 "Thorn" Gaussian rifle is designed to fire conductive media, such as truncated iron nails and steel balls, through side loading even without 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 user manual to choose carefully. 】

   144755 joules of muzzle kinetic energy!

   When he saw this number for the first time, Chu Guang thought he had read it wrong.

  If I remember correctly, the 20mm caliber M61 aviation cannon on the F16 fighter jet can only be about 50,000 joules per engine.

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

   Can this be called a gun? ? ?

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

   Picked up this terrifying Gauss rifle from the conveyor belt, Chu Guang held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then took off the cumbersome 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 can keep the bullet stable during flight.

The Gauss rifle used by   Luyan and his team 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 peeping through the drone before that their Gauss rifle needs to actively replace the overheated barrel after continuous shooting.

   Intuition tells Chu Guang that the design without a barrel may be more technical, but the maintenance cost and use cost are difficult to say.

   "I'm afraid this recoil is not small... Without an exoskeleton or power armor, it's really impossible to control it."

   "And ammunition, 10 bullets is too little."

   "I don't know if I can make a similar-shaped bullet with tungsten steel."

  In the production conditions of the outpost, it is impossible to expect to be completely the same in material, but it should not be a problem to make a bullet with a similar shape.

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

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

  It's just that maybe all the luck was spent on the advanced blind box, and 11 junior blind boxes actually opened 11 lollipops.

   And it's all chocolate flavored.

   But Chu Guang was in a good mood. Not only did his blood pressure not rise, but instead he sent a lollipop to Xia Yan and Xiaoyu each, sharing the joy in his heart at the moment.

   A cannon and a piece of armor.

   This wave is more than a **** profit.

   is simply a fortune!

  …

   The next day was a rare sunny day.

  There is not a single cloud in the cloudless sky.

   But there was a lot of snow last night, and snowflakes the size of goose feathers floated all night. When the sun came up, 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'll give you a task, the details have been updated on your VM, you go to the brick factory and pick two clever survivors as your assistants."

   "After a while, our allies will send people to register with us for the list of labor dispatches. After that, you can set off with them according to what I explained on the VM."

   Old Luca nodded respectfully.

   "As you order, my lord."

  Old Luca went in the direction of the brick factory for a while.

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

   There were 4 people in the car.

  Except for the driver and the bodyguard sitting in the co-pilot who were wearing exoskeletons with small weapons, the two people in the back row were not even equipped with exoskeletons and only wore uniform gray coats, probably civilians.

  The road condition on the wasteland is very poor, especially in the urban area, a road can even count ten uneven pleats. Some of the relatively wide cracks even leaked out of the buried pipeline, and the difference in width was more than two meters.

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

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

  Chu Guang watched from the sky and guessed with Xiao Qi when the car would break down. In the end, it was Xiao Qi's guess. About 1 kilometer away from the wetland park, the front wheel of the off-road vehicle was planted directly in the ditch.

  The snow foam was rolled up into the sky, but no matter how the tires were embedded in the pit and idling, they couldn't get up.

  The co-pilot and driver could only get out of the car, grabbing the wheel hub with both hands, and using the brute force of the exoskeleton to lift the front of the car out of the gutter.

  Chu Guang originally planned to ask two power-type players to come over to help, but seeing this scene immediately dismissed the idea.

   "The power of technology is still strong."

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

   Isn't it quick to move bricks?

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

  …

   The off-road vehicle could not drive into the wetland park. The driver and the car stayed in front of the north gate of the park and waited, while the other three got off the car and continued to move forward.

The group of    quickly arrived at the outpost, met the manager here at the north gate, and went 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, which belongs to the company. Behind me is Luo Hua, a colleague of our logistics department, who is in charge of the temporary office of your camp. Responsible for liaison and communication, and the other is Ace of the Security Section, who is mainly responsible for his safety."

   "Hello, Mr. Manager." The man named Luo Hua wore glasses and looked a little gentle.

  The heroic female bodyguard just nodded to him without any words or participation in the topic, as if there was no air.

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

   "Chu Guang, the manager of Vault 404, is honored to be working 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 an equally friendly smile from his face.

   It is very comfortable to communicate with civilized people.

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

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

   Aside from the bodyguards who were on duty at the door, 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 from the bag he was carrying.

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

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

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

  Perhaps because the production line is carried on the crawler, the prices on the list are closer to the local East Coast standard than those who do not know where they come from, and even feel cheaper than the local survivor strongholds on the East Coast.

  1CR has a lot of bulk commodities that can be wholesaled.

Just looking back at one kilogram of starch, one kilogram of glucose, one kilogram of sucrose, one kilogram of amino acids (30 kinds of lysine, tryptophan, etc.)... When these strange trading varieties, Chu Guang was stunned. a bit.

   Can you dismantle 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 and wheat and corn, the price of these agricultural products is 2CR per kilo.

  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 vegetable meat patties or minced meat, which is also only 2CR per kilogram, which is actually the same price as rice and wheat.

   In any survivor gathering place in Qingquan City, it is impossible for meat to be sold for the same price as what grows in the ground!

   In addition, processed foods are also on the list.

   A C nutrition package with a net content of 430g requires 1CR, which contains a normal diet that is sufficient to maintain the carbohydrate, fiber, protein and other mineral nutrients required for a meal. However, there seems to be a lot of water in it, and a class A nutrition package with a net content of 800g actually costs 8CR.

  Is this a family barrel?

   These are basically the foods that can be traded. Starting from 10CR, the traded varieties have become some daily necessities and industrial products.

   For example, a kilogram of sulfur soap is priced at exactly 10CR. According to the net content of 100 grams, 10 pieces can be cut, which is equivalent to 1CR.

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

   Interestingly, their salt is 10 times as much as grains and 10 times as expensive as meat. Chu Guang was not sure for a while, whether this was cheap or expensive.

   Anyway, with him, salt is sold in taels.

   And then from the 100CR gear, there will be some good things.

   For example, a submachine gun that sells for 200CR, and an assault rifle that sells for 300CR. There are also bulletproof vests priced at 100CR and heavy-duty full-protection bulletproof armor priced at 300CR.

   Bullets are very cheap, 1CR can buy three, which is equivalent to a pound of rice.

   "Why no Gaussian rifle?"

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

  Li Deban said with a positive expression.

   "Sorry, Mr. Superintendent, our power armor and Gaussian rifles are the lives of our soldiers and 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 can do it by hand.

   In Chu Guang's impression, although the principle of the coil gun is very simple, it is actually a very expensive technology. After burning money, the Americans installed the guns on the ship, and after defrauding the military, they dismantled them.

   Think about it too, how cheap is traditional artillery?

   It is easy to maintain, one shot is fired and one shot is fired, and the gun barrel is broken and replaced.

  Chu Guang studied it all night yesterday, but he didn't figure out what material the magnetic rail of the Type 20 "Thorn Needle" Gauss Rifle was made of, and he didn't even dare to take it down to take a look.

   He is not stupid.

  What if the magnetic track is filled with metallic hydrogen?

   That doesn't blow up directly.

   Studying black technology is more exciting than opening a blind box. After thinking about it, Chu Guang decided not to work hard, not to mention that if you understand it, you may not be able to do it. There is no equipment and preconditions to understand at all.

  Any small breakthrough is the accumulation of tens of thousands of experimental results on hundreds of subjects. And the equivalent change accumulates into a qualitative change, which is specific to a mature technology, which contains tens of thousands of small breakthroughs.

   So let's open the blind box.

   At least what comes out of the blind box can be used immediately.

  With guns and guns, there will be food, with food, there will be people, and with people, we will develop industry, expand our territory, and pick up garbage farther away. When the grain and electricity mines are fully alive and the production capacity has gone up, it is time to talk about the technology tree.

  Otherwise, it will be difficult for anyone to come.

  Chu Guang: "There is no problem in terms of treatment. We need... um, 10 copper coins for one kilogram of rice here. So, I think a reasonable exchange rate is 1CR for 5 copper coins."

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

   But after thinking about it, I changed the expression of high emotional intelligence.

   However, he didn't expect that the quartermaster's friend didn't appreciate it at all, he shook his head and said.

   "Mr. Manager, my words may be a bit direct. Our captain is a rude person. I really don't understand this, but do you think I don't understand either?"

"Let's not make so much trouble, and it's pointless to exchange each other's money, we can't stay here forever. We pay all the money directly to you according to the 1CR hourly wage standard, as for what you plan to give How much silver your residents pay is your internal issue, and we won't interfere."

"As for the problem you raised about the inability of CR to circulate normally, we have solved it for you. The list in your hands was summed up overnight by our logistics department colleagues. I believe that the materials listed above are definitely better than those in your Any caravan you've seen here is richer, don't you think?"

   To sum up in one sentence, you cannot fool Lao Tzu.

   Love pays your people as much as you want. Anyway, that's all we give.

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

   Chu Guang, who has been in sales for so many years, can of course understand what he means, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

   "That's fine too."

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

   Seeing Chu Guang expressing a positive attitude, Li De looked at him cautiously and said.

   "Then may I think that we have a consensus?"

   Yesterday, Lu Yang bragged with him that the manager of Vault 404 was a very cheerful 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...

"Half of it," 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 you, so it is impossible for our people Wasting so much time on the road every day. And eating, which is also a big problem.”

   When he heard the previous sentence "Half achieved", Li De was still groping for the blood pressure lowering medicine in his pocket, but he relaxed his nerves when he heard the second half of the sentence.

   This is a reasonable request.

"You can rest assured, we have built a temporary camp for your workers. Although it is not as comfortable and comfortable as the shelter, there is no problem with wind protection and warmth. For meals, please rest assured, we will prepare a mobile kitchen for you. Three meals a day are provided according to the standard of 1CR per meal.”

  Chu Guang nodded, thoughtfully.

   "1CR per meal, 3CR a day, right?"

  Li De was stunned for a moment, then nodded cautiously.

   "Uh, yes sir."

  Chu Guang showed a smile on his face.

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

  Li De was stunned.

   Does this work too? ? ?

   However, instead of expressing his opinion immediately, he silently calculated the cost in his mind.

   If you want to deploy mobile kitchens in the camps of these workers, the actual cost per day is at least 1000CR.

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

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

  Li De nodded decisively in agreement.

"Row!"

  Chu Guang also resolutely stretched out 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 that the captain's "sweet" evaluation of the manager.

really.

   His efficiency is impressive.

  It's a shame to stay here...

   Luo Hua, the head of the office, stayed, while Li De set off under the **** of Ai Si and returned to the bus stop at the entrance of the Wetland Park.

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

   "The conditions here are too rudimentary... They are still using primitive steelmaking methods to produce steel." Looking at the big chimney to the south, Luo Hua couldn't help but sigh.

  Ace did not comment on these facilities, but said after being silent for a while.

   "That person is very strong."

   "Strong?"

   "Well, it's the Awakened, probably the first stage."

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

   These people looked at them curiously, not knowing what they were looking at.

   "The one I talked to you earlier."

   "You mean their manager?" Luo Hua looked surprised, "But I remember that awakening doesn't have to—"

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

  Ace still had an expressionless expression on his face, but there was a hint of caution in his pupils, and he rarely said one more sentence.

   It seems that the captain's evaluation is correct.

   "That person is very strong."
