Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 179 25mm Grenade, Personnel Arrangement

Lin Feng first clicked on the bullet production machine. Now it was more important than the two cannons. After all, it involved a large arms deal and determined whether the profits could be maximized.

As his eyes flashed, the attribute data of the lv21 bullet production machine was also called out:
"Ammunition Production Machine Level 21, Orange Quality, Branded"

「基础属性：自动化度7/10；耐久度10/10；目前可生产25毫米口径以下弹药；可消耗十点生命值进行升级」

「额外属性：弹药生产(原料充足时，9mm子弹3600/h，7.62mm子弹3000/h，12.7mm子弹600/h，25mm榴弹300/h)」

"Note: This has become a branded equipment. Next time you upgrade, you can choose to enhance the following areas: automation level, production efficiency, product caliber, etc."

After branding, it was really powerful, directly breaking through the original production limit of 20 mm, and the degree of automation was further improved. Now only three people are needed to start production.

Moreover, as the upper limit was broken, the name of the equipment was changed from the previous bullet production machine to an ammunition production machine, which can produce bullets of different calibers and small grenades at the same time.

Lin Feng then went to the transport vehicle behind him and checked the upgraded level 21 ammunition production machine.

I quickly found the production data sheet displayed on the side.

The list lists the different specifications of ammunition, the materials required for production, and the power of the finished product after firing:
9mm pistol submachine gun bullet, 10g metal, 5g gunpowder; effective range 150 meters, damage 20 points

"7.62mm rifle bullet, 10g metal, 10g gunpowder; effective range 600 meters, damage 40 points"

"12.7mm heavy bullet, 60g metal, 60g gunpowder; effective range 1500 meters, damage 60 points"

"25mm small-caliber grenade, 100g metal, 100g gunpowder; effective range 500 meters, killing radius: 1 meter, damage 80 points"

A 25mm caliber grenade has a damage of up to points and can easily kill a first-level early-stage evolver with one shot.

The maximum health value of an early-stage evolver, a level 13 evolver, is only 90 points. Add to that the one-meter killing range, and as long as the target is hit, no matter where it is, it can cause instant severe damage or kill directly.

The upper limit of mid-stage evolvers is level 16, and their health points are only 120 points. A 25mm grenade is enough to kill them.

But if you want to deal with late-stage evolvers, the current 80 points of damage can only cause limited damage after the armor blocks it.

So Lin Feng did not hesitate too much and directly started further upgrading the equipment, choosing to continue expanding the caliber of the finished ammunition.

If the caliber is larger and the power is stronger, it can also pose a direct threat to the lives of late first-stage evolvers.

However, the power should not be too great, at least it should not be able to break through the defense of the tanks under his command and the upgraded power armor.

In this way, we can safely sell the produced artillery shells in exchange for a large amount of needed supplies.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

There are also several tanks and heavy-duty transport trucks, as well as four sets of armor that need to be upgraded. Each set will consume several kilograms of evolutionary meat.

With the current reserves, it is really not enough.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, checked the ammunition production equipment, then turned around to check the two weapons on his waist.

Their power is the key to determining whether or not to continue absorbing source matter and improve the level of evolution.

As the data of the two artillery pieces appeared before his eyes, Lin Feng's eyes widened:

"Armor-piercing cannon level 21, orange quality, brand"

"Basic Attributes: Damage 250, Effective Range 3km, Damage Coverage 15m, Remaining Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing 100; Can be upgraded at a cost of HP."

「额外属性：备弹回复1/1h；空间弹匣100枚；范围杀伤(覆盖半径16米，中心3米伤害250)；火力覆盖(一秒六发持续五秒)；狼牙穿甲炮弹(穿甲能力提升100%，伤害+75)」

"Note: When upgrading, it incorporates the lv23 fine steel wolf fang, increasing the armor penetration damage by an additional 25, for a total of 75. It can penetrate the defense level of the initial stage of the second stage."

[Note: You can switch back to level 19 armor-piercing cannon or level 9 precision pistol freely]

The basic damage has been increased to 250, and with the improvement brought by the integration of fine steel wolf fangs, the current maximum damage of a shell has reached 325 points.

Moreover, these wolf fangs have armor-piercing properties, which are designed to break through the defenses of herbivorous wild beasts. They also greatly enhance the armor-piercing ability of artillery shells.

All evolvers in the early second stage can be easily dealt with, even if they are wearing power armor or rock horse armor.

Lin Feng then looked at the rapid-fire cannon on the right side of his waist:
[High-Explosive Rapid-Fire Cannon lv21, Orange Quality, Branded]

"Basic Attributes: Damage 180, Effective Range 5km, Damage Coverage 10m, 1200 High-Explosive Rounds Remaining; Upgrades cost HP."

「额外属性：备弹回复1/h；空间弹匣1200枚；范围杀伤(覆盖半径10米，中心2米伤害180)；极速追击(开启自动模式每秒十发)」

「Note: You can switch back to lv19 rapid-fire cannon or lv9 fine AK freely」

The improvement of the rapid-fire cannon is not that strong, because the direction of Lin Feng's mark is the amount of ammunition.

Low recoil, fast firing rate, and easy to hold.

Its main function is to provide fire coverage and long-range suppression, rather than a one-shot kill.

Therefore, this upgrade directly increased the spare ammunition by 105. This is a rapid-fire cannon with a power comparable to that of a mm howitzer, capable of tearing apart any defensive armor within the first level.

It is enough to kill two hundred first-stage late-stage evolvers, or more than ten second-stage early-stage evolvers.

The current reserve of ammunition has reached 1,200 rounds.

In comparison, the fifty spare shells added by the armor-piercing gun upgrade seem insignificant, but its enhancement direction is damage, so having fewer spare shells is not a big deal.

After all, it is impossible to face dozens of second-level strongmen at the same time. The armor-piercing cannon only needs to kill several of the same level to complete its mission.

As for the more powerful second-stage mid-to-late stage evolvers, they have to rely on the second-stage new function of the branding power:

Incredibly powerful assembly and synthesis.

The last time I synthesized a level 25 rapid-fire armor-piercing cannon, which has a damage of up to 550. It can also be turned on in automatic mode, firing madly at ten rounds per second.

It can be called a 120mm anti-aircraft gun.

One shot can destroy an entire basketball court.

With the addition of a thousand terrifying ammunition, the power is as great as thousands of rockets, providing direct fire coverage.

If both guns are upgraded to the next level, the combined weapon will be even more powerful.

However, the only drawback is that each synthesis consumes ten health points and can only last for ten minutes. If it is not a combat situation, Lin Feng is really reluctant to do so.

After all, ten health points are enough to upgrade a second-level weapon or equipment.

So Lin Feng decided to further upgrade the armor-piercing cannon and rapid-fire cannon first. After they were all upgraded to the current upper limit of level 22, he would choose a time to assemble and synthesize them to test his maximum output.

By the way, scare the villains in the dark.

At the same time, it can also make the ammunition produced by itself more popular.

After all, forced buying and selling, and paying for peace of mind, have existed since ancient times.

If these customers are willing to offer their utmost sincerity, Lin Feng will naturally be happy to provide them with shelter.

Especially when his strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage or even late-stage second-level evolver, even a promise of just one word can be worth a thousand gold.

Lin Feng then took out a few fine steel wolf fangs and consumed another twenty health points to upgrade two level 21 branded weapons. After completing everything, Lin Feng glanced at his attribute panel. After three consecutive upgrades, his health points had dropped to 270 points, and he suddenly felt weak.

The comfortable feeling of having just eaten is gone, hunger comes back, and I want to replenish my energy with food.

After locking the door of the transport vehicle, Lin Feng returned to the Yanma chariot and took out most of the level 20 evolutionary meat, which was just enough to restore 30 health points.

Reserves are tight right now, so we can't waste anything.

While all the weapons and equipment were being upgraded, Lin Feng sat by the window, eating meat to recover while looking out the window.

A Ming and Liu Qian were giving a lecture and explaining the rules to the eight new members.

Seven men and one woman stood outside two ordinary transport vehicles, all with serious expressions, but their eyes were full of hope.

They were dressed neatly and appropriately, not like the ragged clothes of the lowest class of savages. Although their faces were dark and weathered, they were muscular and in good shape.

Similar to the hunting team led by Li Hu, they are the top-notch existence among the 50,000 to 60,000 wastelanders.

As the leader or captain of these teams, they are even richer than some of the poor fifth-level residents.

Of course, they can't be compared with the Duncan team. After all, although they are just a hunting team on the surface, they are actually a stronghold set up by the Salvation Army to monitor Oasis Town and keep in touch with the Hunting Guild.

However, although Li Hu and others have limited strength, they have struggled in the wasteland for many years and have rich survival experience. Even if they are taken into the desert, there will not be too many non-combat casualties.

This is exactly the kind of subordinate Lin Feng needs.

Although it lacks a certain degree of loyalty and sense of belonging compared to training from the bottom, it is at least easier to manage and control than those evolvers with their own ulterior motives.

Lin Feng was a little troubled about the selection of candidates.

Although the captain positions of A-Lian and Ma Chenfeng have been confirmed, there are not enough candidates for captains of the lower-level teams.

After some arrangements, Lin Feng discovered that although A Lian managed the formal members, she no longer had many people under her.

Unlike Ma Chenfeng, he has his own original team members to seamlessly connect with.

At present, Chen Shanshan follows him, Ding Yi is responsible for the advancement of the biological breeding vehicle, and the ammunition production machine behind it is put into operation, which requires at least two members to operate.

Now, the only official team members left are Liu Mingfei, Liu Qian and his sister, and A Ming.

Lin Feng prefers to let Liu Mingfei be the driver, while Liu Qian and A Ming start production.

It is only responsible for delivering raw materials and checking whether the products are qualified. The equipment is turned on by Lin Feng, and it has achieved integrated and autonomous production.

Having said that, Lin Feng was still a little hesitant about letting a newcomer do the job.

On the one hand, it is a problem of trust, and on the other hand, professional knowledge and literacy are not enough, so the production will be ruined.

But in this way, A Lian became a commander without troops, and all her subordinates were outsiders.

Lin Feng was thinking about this matter when A Ming and Liu Qian, who had just finished their lecture, walked towards the chariot in the distance.

Liu Qian knocked on the door, and after receiving Lin Feng's order, she opened the door and went inside to begin reporting:
"After screening, we have temporarily selected eight qualified recruits and have arranged a transport vehicle for them, which will temporarily serve as a dormitory vehicle."

"The two new vehicles were delivered by the guild. They are both in 90% new condition and have a load capacity of nearly ten tons, capable of transporting ten people plus weapons and equipment."

"The recruitment meeting is currently being hosted by Ding Yi and Ma Chenfeng. Chen Shanshan, A-Lian, and my brother are currently handing over the other four vehicles to the guild for inspection."

Lin Feng nodded, and when he looked at A Ming, he suddenly thought of a solution and asked the two of them:

"When you were still hunters or barren dwellers, if you knew any friends, you could recruit them. Even if they were a little weaker, just entering the late stage of strengthening, that would be fine."

"The only requirements are youth, potential for evolution, and the drive to continue becoming stronger. At the same time, there shouldn't be any major issues with character."

Liu Qian and Amin looked at each other and quickly guessed the leader's intention.

After the expansion, the original seven old members were responsible for their own matters, and a shortage of staff has emerged.

Therefore, some less important things can be done by people who are more trustworthy.

This is an extension of the relationship network.

But Lin Feng had just woken up not long ago, and Ding Yi was in the same situation. Although Chen Shanshan had survived five or six years, she didn't have much of a circle among the lower class.

After her master disappeared from the ruins, she became a destitute and became very quiet and withdrawn.

So Lin Feng placed his hopes on the Liu brothers and sisters, as well as the A Lian sisters.

Unfortunately, after hearing Lin Feng's question, Liu Qian showed a trace of confusion. After thinking for a long time, she finally shook her head:

"I woke up in the wasteland less than half a year ago. I joined a small group of wastelanders whose strength was also average. Since we went our separate ways, we haven't had much contact since then."

“I don’t know anyone I can trust.”

After finishing the explanation, Liu Qian looked at Amin beside her.

She and A Lian used to be the leaders of Li Hu's team. They have been working in the wasteland for many years and are knowledgeable. They must know many wastelanders and level nine enhanced wasteland hunters.

Especially the wild hunter, whose strength is also outstanding among the ninth level, and can hunt the wild beasts that are strengthened in the middle and late stages.

After thinking for a while, Amin nodded:

"There are some people. It depends on the current needs of the fleet. Most of them are not combat personnel. They can only be recruited if they are useful to us."

Lin Feng hummed:
"It's okay if you're not a combatant, but you can be responsible for logistics, such as driving, cooking, cleaning, etc."

"I'll be busy in the future, and many trivial matters will have to be handed over to others. There's no need to do them all myself."

"And even if they were all combat personnel, they couldn't maintain the daily operations of a large convoy."

"Well, in addition to the escort team, I'll give you ten more spots as support personnel. The only requirement is that you're trustworthy and don't cause any trouble."

"At the same time, recruit a few familiar people from the entourage to serve as A-Lian's subordinates."

"There will still be some evolution spots available, which will be awarded to new members so they can prepare. The strongest ones will be given priority."

After receiving the order, the two girls immediately took their leave.

Before leaving, Lin Feng instructed:

"Now, when you go out, bring your guns with you, and preferably wear armor. Although the enemy doesn't dare to attack you openly, they have the guts to attack you who are only at the early stage of the first level."

"When you go back and forth, when you pass through Motorcycle Village and Shuguang Village, you must be careful and alert."

Liu Qian and A Ming took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

Not long after they left, two reminders popped up in the corner of Lin Feng's eyes.

The two cannons were the first to complete the upgrade, becoming powerful weapons of level 22.

Next, we have to start the experiment.

This is my strongest fighting power at the moment!
