Chapter 113 (1/2)

In the afternoon, Jiang Chen quietly lies on the couch beside the swimming pool, enjoying the late summer sun.

Although very anxious to go back there to report peace, but due to the jump bracelet is in the ”cooling state”, it is not a matter to be anxious, so he was lucky to have a rest.

The weather has gradually begun to cool, and it should be autumn soon.

In this way, it will soon be winter there.

Because of the radioactive dust, the last winter comes earlier than the present. According to sun Jiao, in the past year, it was almost mid October in Wanghai city.

The last winter can be described as a natural disaster.

The temperature will drop to a few degrees below zero in a short month, and impure snowflakes will fall from the sky, which will dye the whole city unnaturally white. But it's much better than the first few years. According to records, in the years just after the nuclear war, almost the whole earth was in the state of nuclear winter. Only winter, no summer.

For the average survivor, winter is very hard. They often choose to collect and store enough subsistence materials and fuel in the first half of the year. Unless there is an accident, no one will choose to go out in winter.

In the winter, different species also choose to hibernate or move to warm areas, such as abandoned nuclear power plants or geothermal wells.

Only zombies are not affected by the cold. Usually, there is not much water on them to freeze, but they will sleep longer because of less sunlight.

Gazing at the iced orange juice on the table, Jiang Chen is lost in thought.

Enough food, cotton padded clothes, fuel and so on are necessities for winter. But these things are not difficult for him, for the fish bone base, winter should not be very difficult.

There is no shortage of food. Warm clothes are also available on the sixth block, which are much more efficient than cotton padded clothes. Fuel can be replaced by electricity, although considering the decline in power generation in winter, the demand for electricity will also decrease. The outdoor temperature is just a few degrees below zero. Naturally, the refrigeration device and freezer in the basement can be turned off.

What really worries him is the combat effectiveness of the base.

In this battle with mutants, the short board of the fish bone base was exposed.

Money. But the military is too weak.

Power armor may be enough to crush the average survivor group, but if the fish bones want to grow. It is absolutely impossible that the opponent you meet is just a few small survivors. Wanghai city has so many forces. What about outside the city? What about the whole country? What about the unknown species?

Without the support of heavy firepower, they were caught off guard when they met with the slightly larger armed forces of the mutant group. And even worse. If one power armor explodes, there will be one less. This time, four sets were scrapped, and most of the rest were injured. Even if all the mutants have been killed, it will be a big loss for the fish bones.

He didn't expect that a group of mutants would be killed on the way. At that time, he found that the Huigu mercenary group was in trouble, and he was ready to take advantage of the fire. As a result, I didn't expect that the opposite side was not friendly at all, and the people of the Huigu mercenary corps were defeated. Without saying a word, he continued to open fire to Jiang Chen and them.

From the beginning, there was no possibility of reconciliation between normal people and mutants.

Pick up the juice. After biting on the straw and sipping, Jiang Chen looked thoughtfully at Aisha's swimming posture in the swimming pool.

Lack of heavy firepower.

The armed forces of the fish bone base are too dependent on the sixth block, and people will not sell heavy firepower at all. At most, they can sell a heavy machine gun or a rocket launcher. Xiang that high-energy vacuum bombs are useless and have little effect on zombies. They are easy to be intercepted by laser anti missile weapons in the war against people. They belong to the kind of weapons that don't have too big eggs to use. Therefore, they were given to Jiang Chen by Zhao Chenwu at a low price.

Moreover, the use of such things is a little bit less, and the production equipment is basically destroyed in the war. Tactical nuclear bombs, laser cluster bombs and the like are basically collected from the battlefield or semi destroyed arsenals. Generally speaking, the reserve of this ”super weapon” also symbolizes the hard power of a survivor base.

Fish bone base must have its own arms production line, and must start to think of ways to develop heavy firepower. However, what bothers Jiang Chen is that many things have technology but no production conditions.

Apart from the production equipment, there are two reasons restricting the development of fish bone.

One is raw materials, the other is population.

At the end of the century, mining is not necessary. The shallow minerals on the earth have been mined out. Before the war, asteroid collection stations and lunar mining bases, which were the main sources of minerals, were also blasted into space debris.

Although I bought a small amount of construction steel from the sixth block before, after this expedition, I was afraid that their production materials would also be nervous. Where would they sell them to him?

Want to develop industry? First upgrade the recycling process.

Due to the highly developed material science, it is not easy to decompose the material which can be written on several pages by name into pure minerals. Although Jiang Chen doesn't know material science, Zhao Chenwu mentioned that 35% of the industrial capacity of the sixth block is allocated to ”waste recycling”. Although organic materials can alleviate part of the demand, bullets, shells and armor are inseparable from metal.Let's talk about population.

Even if there is no complete production line, it is not impossible to make some equipment by hand through some modified general production equipment. However, it is bound to require a lot of labor.

The spider tank, for example, requires thousands of parts. Just relying on the fish bone base, the population also wants to develop military industry? Zhao Chenwu's military factories are not just his people.

Do you want to process most of the parts that are not difficult to produce in this world, and then assemble them in the end of the world? The world is rich in mineral resources, although ”manufacturing technology is low”, but if we can get some simple production equipment

we can think of this, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed bitterly. He shook his head and gave up the idea.

It's too dangerous.

Certainly not at home. Even if the workers may not know what the parts they produce are, who will not believe in opening a factory that produces products with no meaning? If he was found to have mastered military technology, the picture would be too beautiful. He didn't dare to think about it.

Abroad? Jiang Chen believes that crows are as black as crows. Even if people follow the spirit of the Constitution and the law and act in strict accordance with the law, perhaps the state will not come forward to do anything. But if it comes to the big cake of the military industry, it must be that the big consortia that rose in the second world war will not let go easily. At this time, as long as the state keeps one eye open and one eye closed, the military technology will naturally be in the hands of ”its own people”.

However, with such abundant resources in this part of the world, Jiang Chen can't help feeling a little pity.

At this time, Aisha suddenly emerged from the water. Toss that wet hair, Chong Jiang morning direction smile.

In an instant, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

Well. Of course, it's not because of the island!

”I didn't think of it before.” Jiang Chen patted his head and said with a bitter smile.

What is lacking in the last world is nothing but food, which is not difficult to get anywhere. It doesn't have to be at home! Some things are made in China, and some are tied up. But in a small island country that is both remote and underdeveloped, the situation may be different.

At the same time, if we can have a base in this world, it will undoubtedly help the development of the last world! In this world, there is no need to worry about labor and resources. As long as we can control a small and neutral country far away from international affairs, Jiang Chen's heart can't help but get hot.

He had been looking for a way back.
