Chapter 37 (1/2)
”This is my arms factory, where hundreds of workers work for me, delivering metal trinkets to good or bad people. We won't go in. The temperature in it is hardly human. ”
Zhao Chenwu pointed to the fiery military factory which seemed to be in operation, and explained to Jiang Chen with pride that it was not much different from those developers in this world.
”And this one, too. But the products here are all exquisite and expensive, such as. 50 caliber fixed sentry ring guns, and the equipment on the inner ring wall is basically from my factory.”
When he came to a factory building which was obviously much smaller than the building just now, Zhao Chenwu pointed to it with his cigarette in it and then said.
The end of the world, of course, will not be short of cigarettes. Wine cannot be produced on a large scale due to food shortage, so tobacco has become a tool for most people to relieve their mental stress. The burning smell of tobacco here has a strong pungent flavor, and not everyone is in the habit of smoking. Radiation has brought uncontrollable mutations to all living things on earth, but not all of them are malignant. For example, this particular tobacco can adapt to the soil quality of waste soil like the mutant plants that can be seen everywhere. It can be planted in large areas without high-end cultivation techniques, which is why cigarettes are not expensive in the end. Many survivors will plant a few plants at their doorstep, which can be used as medicine or as smoke.
Naturally, Jiang Chen couldn't stand the spicy taste. Zhao Chenwu said with a smile that he could use it or not. He couldn't get used to throwing it away. In fact, this is all relative. Zhao Chenwu also felt that the taste was too weak to be enjoyable when he took over the China sent by Jiang Chen.
”Oh? I'm also very interested in this kind of automatic weapon. I don't know if it's convenient for boss Zhao to sell me some? ” Jiang Chen watched an employee in white overalls adjust the half man high machine with a flat panel, control the 360 degree rotating muzzle, aim at the target in the isolation room, and pour out fierce fire.
”Hahaha, of course. However, the production of this thing is really low. Recently, the sixth block is renewing the equipment of the northern checkpoint, and the orders have been arranged for two months. I have to trouble boss Jiang and so on. ”
”No harm, no harm.” Jiang Chen didn't care to smile.
They walked side by side in this high-tech factory. The female secretary named Su Lei followed them, holding Zhao Chenwu's briefcase in her hand. Along the way, people saluted the three people one after another, quite a sense of leadership inspection.
To be honest, Jiang Chen was more and more frightened when he visited the factory. It includes the magnetic levitation UAV the size of a Frisbee, and the 2-meter-high power armor assembled to half of it...
although, as Zhao Chenwu said, the production of these devices is very low, because the facilities such as military factories must be the focus of wartime care. It may be not very difficult to search for civilian level assembly lines from waste soil, but it is difficult to find one A complete military production line. That's a joke.
Including the power armor being built, most of the equipment is handmade. Jiang Chen watched a worker with something like a hammer beating the armor plate in a high temperature state bit by bit, while some workers carefully assembled tiny electronic components into the armor. Perhaps before the war, these processes were completed through high-precision automatic production lines, but in the end, many things had to be done by hand.
Of course, the lack of manufacturing process is for complex equipment. The bullet assembly line and so on, still very good solution.
But even so, there is no doubt about the firepower survivors can have. No matter how hard a zombie's head is, it's just a bullet. Even though the blade of the Talon can tear through the shell of power armor, there are still tanks as its enemies.
So the question is, even with such powerful equipment, can human beings not conquer those bloodthirsty aliens and Zombies?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen can't help being silent. He is curious about what kind of existence exists in the city center.
”Some of this equipment will go into my private arms, and some will be sold to the army on the sixth block or other interested buyers. However, power armor is generally not allowed to be sold outside, and some heavy weapons such as spider tanks are also prohibited. I'm not going to start producing these nasty things until the sixth block Council votes to buy them. ” Zhao Chenwu didn't pay attention to Jiang Chen's meditation, but said it to himself. His words have the meaning of giving Jiang Chen preventive injections. In it, if Jiang Chen wants to buy a power armor, he really can't do it.
”Oh? So boss Zhao is an arms dealer? ” After the morning of the brain smile, cast a question.
”Half of them. I also have a pharmaceutical factory, and I also run some real estate business in the inner circle. If Mr. Jiang Chen is interested in buying a house in the inner circle, you may as well come to me, ha ha. ” Zhao Chenwu took a cigarette and said with a broad smile. He took a ring-shaped armguard from the table and threw it into Jiang Chen's hand.
”Boss Jiang is away all year round. This nitrogen armor should be my gift to you.””Then obedience is better than respect.” Jiang Chen did not refuse. After taking it, he laughed and put it on his hand. Then he looked at Zhao Chenwu with questioning eyes.
How does this work?
Zhao Chenwu's soldier came to the isolation room and waved to the side of the equipment room. The soldier unfolded the nitrogen armor on his hand, and the high-density gas ripple was like a viscous water flow, spreading from the ring in the middle of the arm guard in a bowl shape.
At this time, a heavy machine gun appeared in front of the soldier, and the muzzle of the gun shot out the tongue of fire directly.
Jiang Chen couldn't hear the sound in the isolation room because of the sound insulation effect. However, he was surprised to find that all the bullets were shot around after contacting the nitrogen barrier. The soldiers standing behind the shield still kept a squat posture, even the impact of the bullet did not bear the appearance.
Good guy! It's just a shield?
”Through the vortex effect of inert atoms, nitrogen forms a high-pressure circulation under the traction of the central field... Ha ha, in short, the theoretical things will be left to those experts for headache. I only look at the effect. Is boss Jiang satisfied with this Zhao Chenwu waved, indicating the end of the test, and then the machine gun went down.
”Satisfied, very satisfied. I don't know if there are any restrictions on the use of this device. ” After playing with it for a while, Jiang Chen put it away.
”There is no big limit, but the energy consumption is a little high, and the overheating problem of the central spiral device has not been solved. One subcrystal is about enough to start this thing for one minute, and it will overheat after 10 seconds of continuous use. For a period of time, the consumption of sub crystal is more expensive than the cost of making it. And... It doesn't work well with optical weapons and particle weapons. Of course, it works well with kinetic energy weapons. ” Zhao Chenwu said with a puff of smoke.
”I didn't expect that boss Zhao's military factory also has the ability to develop weapons.” Jiang Chen sighed and said.
”Ha ha, that's natural, but it doesn't sell well. Not many people can afford it. But my scientists are studying how to apply this device to power armor, and see if local armor can make it work... Well, I'll just leave this annoying thing to experts. Haha, I'll just look at the effect. ”
