Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 176 Bullets and Cannonballs, Evolution and Wolf Armor Chariots

The bullet production machine was quietly placed in front of him.

Lin Feng then began to think about the future production plan.

The dies carried are 9mm and 7.62mm. The former is mostly used for pistols and submachine guns, and the latter is ammunition for rifles and light machine guns.

In addition, there are 12.7mm large-caliber bullets, which are mostly used for anti-material attacks or heavy machine guns on vehicles.

As for the 5.56mm small-caliber bullet, it was eliminated during the Cataclysm because its performance in killing mutant beasts was too poor, far inferior to the 7.62mm.

The beast's mutation and evolution, the strength of its muscles and the thickness of its armor can withstand most small-caliber bullets.

In comparison, the defensive capabilities of human evolutionists are much worse.

To deal with a first-level evolver, only a 7.62mm full-power bullet is needed.

Even a late-stage evolver with eight or nine tons of strength would not be able to withstand the penetration of a steel-core bullet in his skull.

After all, the upper limit of carbon-based life is there. No matter how much the strength and density of bones are improved, they cannot withstand the bombardment of metal jets unless they are replaced with titanium alloy bones.

Even for giant land beasts like elephants, as long as you lock onto their brains and shoot them in the head, it only takes one shot to kill them.

But the problem is that human evolutionists are not empty-handed.

Just like the evolved wild beasts today, which have evolved into a body of rock armor or fine steel, the evolvers can also wear full body armor to resist attacks.

After entering combat mode, it can be called a human tank.

Even wanderers like Ma Chenfeng can put on simple iron armor by welding themselves to withstand bullet fire. The armor equipped by the evolvers in the oasis will only have stronger and more comprehensive defense.

The 7.62mm bullet can still cause certain damage to armored early-stage evolvers by aiming at vulnerable defensive areas such as joints and necks.

The first-stage mid-stage evolvers, wearing thicker armor, can ignore the strafing of medium-caliber bullets. Large-caliber bullets, such as 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets, combined with special armor-piercing warheads, can break through defenses and cause casualties.

This caliber is also used in anti-material sniper rifles and even some machine guns.

Barely killed the fully armed mid-stage evolver.

As for the stronger late-stage first-level evolvers and second-level strongmen, apart from the powerful artillery shells, the damage caused by bullets below 20 mm is very limited.

The battle armor or power armor they wear is made entirely of titanium alloy, with a thickness ranging from 20 to 50 mm. The total weight is over one ton, and it can launch a lightning charge against small-caliber artillery shells.

Become a true human tank.

Therefore, the bullets we have now can only be used as consumables for export, and our own people can hardly use them.

However, for most permanent residents and scavengers, the real danger during the turmoil does not come from the top strongmen, but from the people around them who are not much different in strength.

For example, the looting of early evolutionists, or the mutual harm among the lower-class people.

At this time, the demand for two different caliber bullets, 7.62mm and 12.7mm, will increase exponentially.

But these are just extras.

The original price was five bullets for one point. Even if the current price is two bullets for one point, the 200,000 bullets that can be produced by two tons of gunpowder only cost 100,000 points.

The lower class people may not have the purchasing power and cannot afford to buy so many bullets.

The benefits brought by bullets are not even as good as an ordinary second-level life essence.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng quickly rejected the simple bullet production plan.

Turn to consider the other direction.

For example, the more scarce artillery shells!

If they could be made into more powerful shells, the price would be completely different.

This is a prohibited item for sale by the Holy Spring Cult and the Hunting Guild.

But Lin Feng knew that the guild must have private collections, and banned items simply couldn't be sold. For large forces, they were not scarce internally.

By exploring and occupying the ruins of a certain shelter, you can obtain a complete set of firepower equipment, not to mention some mining and metallurgical towns, such as the sulfur and gunpowder in Benniu Town, which are still supplying production raw materials in a steady stream.

Lin Feng had no doubt that the guild must have a batch of artillery reserves to be used as a final response trump card.

But this is not necessarily the case for other families.

The church can tolerate the Li family's open provocation, but if they dare to stockpile artillery, the Holy City will definitely respond.

Now that unrest is imminent, nothing can bring a greater sense of security than a small-caliber artillery piece, apart from one's own strength.

Lin Feng then reached out and touched the equipment production line in front of him, checking its attribute data:
"Bullet Production Machine lv20, Orange Quality"

「基础属性：自动化度6/10；耐久度8/10；目前可生产20毫米口径以下子弹；已升级至宿主等级上限」

「额外属性：子弹生产(原料充足时，9mm子弹3600/h，7.62mm子弹3000/h，12.7mm子弹600/h)」

Evaluation: This production line has a low level of integration, requiring four employees to assist in production, including raw material delivery, rate regulation, powder quantity control, and product verification. However, it has a high degree of automation, which can speed up bullet production. This is highly integrated military equipment, but it only produces the most basic bullets. Upgrades can be made to expand its production potential and product range.

"Note: Branding is possible. Once branded, you can choose to upgrade your equipment in areas such as automation, production efficiency, and product caliber."

After reading the introduction, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. The 12.7mm large-caliber bullet weighs 7.62 grams per bullet, which is six times that of the 80mm bullet. The output is directly reduced by %.

But these are not a problem. As long as the caliber can be continuously enlarged after branding, and the warhead can be loaded with gunpowder and triggered with a fuse, then a small-caliber artillery shell will be made.

Lin Feng estimated that if the price was 7.62 points per piece, countless people would rush to buy it. After all, it could threaten a mid-to-late stage first-level evolver, and the amount of gunpowder in the shell was less than ten times that of mm.

The cost has increased tenfold, but the selling price has increased hundreds of times. The added value brought by the product upgrade far exceeds that of ordinary bullets.

Producing 200,000 bullets earns 100,000 points, while producing 20,000 shells can be sold for a million...

This is more profitable than selling a few high-quality rifles, and you can also match them with some grenade launchers in the future to enhance the firepower of the Evolvers or Hunting Teams.

Not only do several major families need it, but the Hunting Guild as well. Now that they have obtained a large amount of pure source essence, they are more reluctant than anyone else to see the unrest spread and impact the existing order.

After all, we must protect the pure source material at hand.

Therefore, the demand for high-powered weapons will only become stronger.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng decided to first check the guild's material list and the caliber of the standard grenade launcher in order to carry out large-scale reproduction and production.

However, this kind of thing is easy to make, and does not require the accuracy of ordinary firearms, and can be made by hand.

By then everyone will have a gun, so there will be no chaos.
Every family has a cannon, and the neighbors live in harmony.

However, before upgrading, Lin Feng must first raise his own evolution level.

While upgrading the Rock Horse Chariot, taste the level 20 evolution meat and start your next level of evolution.

After checking the future "money printing machine", Lin Feng immediately returned to the Yanma chariot. As his first chariot, it has an extraordinary special significance.

It has been upgraded to level 14 and only needs to spend 25 health points to upgrade to level 19.

The reason why I didn't upgrade the tank before I set out for the Taishan ruins last time was mainly because the mission required entering an underground shelter. The tank was more of a means of transportation and there was no need for surface combat.

Now that the rebellion is approaching, there will definitely be a lot of chases on Oasis Avenue. Moreover, the tanks are ready-made positions and can also be used to form a defensive formation, so they need to be strengthened.

Lin Feng had originally intended to integrate the wolf bones he had harvested into the chariot, but the results showed that the grade of the second-level material was too high and could not be directly integrated unless it was branded.

Moreover, even if it becomes a branded object, premature integration of high-quality materials of too great a difference will cause the performance of the tank to decline.

After all, a tram with only three or four tons of free load can only be equipped with lighter and thinner defensive armor. No one can withstand it if it is suddenly equipped with several tons of fine steel armor.

There was no other way, so Lin Feng had to settle for the next best thing and use half a level 20 fine steel wolf skin and some level 20 alloy wolf bones to improve the chariot's defensive performance.

As for the stronger alloy wolf head, Lin Feng plans to integrate it into the heavy truck chariot, or wait until the Rock Horse chariot is upgraded to level 19 and needs to be upgraded.

Now Lin Feng has become a second-level evolver and can continuously upgrade first-level red-quality items.

After consuming 25 health points and integrating half a wolf skin and some wolf bones, Lin Feng no longer paid attention to the situation of the chariot. Instead, he opened the freezer next to him and reached out to touch the neatly arranged blocks of evolved dried meat.

They are made into palm-sized bricks.

Each piece weighs one kilogram.

Three hundred pieces for the late first stage and three hundred pieces for the evolutionary meat at level 20 are enough for the team members.

Lin Feng picked up a piece of level 20 evolved dried meat, held it in his hand and observed the formation.

It was quite substantial, and compared to the later evolved jerky, it was dark red in color, and the meat fibers were finer. One could feel the rich energy contained within, and even the skin on the palms of hands felt slightly warm.

This is because the epidermal cells smell the scent of food and become greedy and restless, wanting to absorb energy and transform themselves into level 20 cells.

Lin Feng tore off a piece of meat along the edge and stuffed it into his mouth.

An explosive feeling of pleasure spreads from the mouth.

At this moment, the so-called texture and taste of food are no longer important. High-density energy substances, under the digestion of salivary enzymes, explode in the mouth like sugar, awakening the taste cells, transmitting nerve stimulation into the brain, releasing dopamine, and producing extreme pleasure and comfort.

Then, as the food is chewed and swallowed, the stomach's digestive system begins to work, dissolving the meat residue and extracting energy and nutrients.

Lin Feng felt a little weak, but he quickly recovered, feeling full of energy and vitality.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the twenty-five health points consumed by the upgrade were increasing little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Feng then began to eat with relish.

The words "Health +1, Health +1" appeared in front of his eyes, and soon his health points recovered from 175 to 200.

Only then did I eat half of it.

This means that an average of one kilogram of level 20 evolutionary meat can restore 50 health points, which is really impressive.

The level 18 evolutionary meat can only recover 20 points. Lin Feng estimated that the level 17 can recover 15 points, and the level 19 can recover only 20 points at most.

The lowest grade of the second-level evolved meat is nineteen levels higher than the upper limit of the first level, and the recovery effect is more than doubled.

The only pity is that these dried meats do not contain many mutant cells. They are not rich in source evolution meat, but are taken from higher-level patriarch-level wild beasts.

But think about it, even if you hunt down a second-level wild beast, or cultivate evolutionary meat, it is impossible to attack a level 20 wild beast that has just entered the second level.

Firstly, there is too little evolutionary meat in their bodies. Secondly, they have just achieved cross-level evolution, and the second-level evolution level is not yet stable. They have only broken through the threshold and have not yet become a complete second-level body.

A true second-level evolver should start from the middle stage of the second level, because at this time the evolutionary cells in the body of a second-level strongman have all transformed to above level 20, and his strength will also be greatly improved.

The second-level early-stage evolvers, just like the first-level early-stage evolvers, are still in the exploratory stage of evolution and need a process of adaptation to their own strength and abilities.

For someone like Lin Feng, only some of the superpower cells in his body have evolved to level 20. He still has a long way to go before his entire body can reach the second level and transform into an immortal body.

But this trip to the Taishan ruins allowed Lin Feng to obtain rich rewards that other second-level evolvers had rarely seen in hundreds of years.

Directly complete the entry threshold of level 20, and accumulate quantitative changes to level 23!
With his health fully restored, his physical and mental state reached its peak. Lin Feng no longer hesitated and stuffed the remaining half of the level 20 evolution meat into his mouth. Then he took out two portions of level 20 pure evolution agents and gulped them down!

The next moment, the violent life source exploded in the body, penetrated the cell membrane and capillaries, then circulated through the blood, entered into cells throughout the body, and began to transform the nineteenth-level cells.

However, this feeling has little impact on Lin Feng, who is at level 50. After all, after taking it once, it is like producing antibodies after recovering from an illness. With the painful experience, the symptoms can be reduced by more than % next time.

Even when it evolved to level 23, most of the cells in the body had completed their transformation, and absorbing life essence of the same level was like drinking water, without any feeling.

However, evolution within a small scale not only has limited impact and effect, but also takes a very short time to complete.

In less than fifteen minutes, Lin Feng climbed out of bed and remained awake throughout.

After being promoted to level 21, his three basic attributes were improved again.

At this moment, the muscles all over his body swelled up, the veins popped out, and they contracted and expanded with his breathing.

Lin Feng could feel that in order to adapt to the power of the second-level cells, even the pores of the skin on the surface of the body began to breathe and circulate, providing more oxygen to the muscle cells underneath, and performing high-frequency contraction and relaxation.

This will push the upper limit of this body's strength to a new level.

Taking a long breath, Lin Feng clenched his fists. The circumference of his right arm had exceeded sixty, and his muscle recruitment and bone strength had already exceeded the limit.

This punch can directly shatter a huge piece of hardened rock with a force close to twenty tons.

Lin Feng couldn't imagine how much destructive power could be unleashed when such a terrifying force was combined with power armor or even stronger biological armor.

He's like a little Superman who can't fly.

Reinforced concrete buildings are as fragile as tofu in front of these fists.

At this moment, Lin Feng's peripheral vision also caught the reminder of completing the evolution:
"Lin Feng, lv21/29"

「生命值：250，体质：250，精神：249；lv21各属性上限250」

"Super Power Awakening: The Power of Brand"

"Power of Branding: Exclusive Equipment; Forced Upgrade; Assembly and Synthesis; Accelerated Upgrade"

"Item upgrade limit increased to level 21!"

"You can consume 10 health points to upgrade the lv20 machine gun, lv20 rapid-fire cannon, and lv20 source filter."

After seeing the significant increase in attribute values ​​after evolution, Lin Feng took a deep breath and felt more and more eager for subsequent evolution.

At this moment, a reminder suddenly popped up in front of me.

It was the Rock Horse Chariot under his feet, which had completed this five-level leap upgrade and become a nineteen-level chariot:
"Wolf Armor Chariot lv19, red quality"

「基础属性：防御150；伤害80；耐久度10/10；最高速时60km；已升级至物品潜力上限，可通过烙印继续升级」

Additional attributes: Gear adjustment, wolfskin armor, giant horn front, bio-power generation

"Horse bone armor has been upgraded to wolf hide armor: after integrating the fine steel wolf hide of the chieftain-level steppe wolf, the defense power has been greatly improved, with an additional defense of +40."

Giant Horn Car Head: The giant horn of a male rock wildebeest is metallized and has a top speed of 60 km/h. It can cause 80 points of damage.

"Note: After incorporating refined steel wolf hide and alloy wolf bones, the Wolf Armor Chariot's strength has been greatly enhanced, becoming a chariot with extremely high defensive capabilities."

"Review: A biological chariot made from a fusion of rock wildebeest and steppe wolf materials, it possesses the biological characteristics of both wild beasts. It can withstand a 10-ton impact and withstand attacks from any first-level existence. Enjoy hunting!"
