Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 181: Inferior tanks and heavy trucks, arrangements
Looking at the two light tanks and two heavy trucks in front of him, Lin Feng was filled with anger.

With cannons in hand, no one can defeat him.

A-Lian, who was still quite sober, quickly spoke out:
"Actually, it's not Shuguang Village's fault. Something went wrong with the Wasteland Hunter Guild."

At this time, Lin Feng had already walked to the front of the light tank and frowned slightly as he looked at the follower evolver who was driving the car.

The two tanks are of similar shape and have the same high chassis, which is 70 to 80 centimeters off the ground, so the tires are also large, with deep grooves and excellent elasticity.

Most tires are made of natural rubber, and the raw materials come from plantations in other towns. Just like the photovoltaic panel industry built by Oasis Town using wildebeest breeding, the division of labor is clear.

Modified tanks must use this kind of good tires to ensure their off-road performance.

Other ordinary trams are all second-hand goods, and some are even melted down from waste tires and scrap materials, and cannot be used for a long time.

But there is not much problem when driving on a smooth global route, such as Oasis Avenue.

In addition to the tires, the powertrain that Lin Feng was most concerned about was indeed problematic, and the data appeared before his eyes:

Light off-road vehicle level 17, red quality

「基础属性：防御80；伤害60；耐久度7/10；最高速时50km；可消耗五点生命值进行升级」

Additional Attributes: Extreme Off-Roading (Adaptable to complex off-road terrain, with a maximum speed of 50-80 km/h, sustained for three hours), Firepower (Equipped with a general-purpose machine gun under the window, 7.62mm caliber, 40 damage, and 200 rounds of ammunition)

Note: Due to insufficient motor power for extreme off-road performance, the maximum speed is reduced to 50km/h.

Evaluation: A light tank with excellent off-road capabilities, sacrificing defensive capabilities for this. Its top speed is 80 kilometers per hour, but due to the aging of its motor, it needs a new one to reach that top speed.

After reading the introduction, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

The idea behind modifying the tank is to trade defense for absolute performance. Its defense is only eighty, and it can be directly destroyed using a small 25mm grenade.

It can only defend against small and medium caliber bullets, but large caliber bullets like 12.7mm can also cause damage to it.

The level of defense is roughly equivalent to that of the light infantry fighting vehicles of the old Earth. It can withstand rifle bullets, but it can be dealt with by using heavy machine guns or anti-material heavy sniper rifles.

But this can only be applied to some low-intensity battles. If the enemy has heavy firepower or is a fully armed first-stage mid-stage evolver, they will not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, its design concept is to win by relying on the absolute speed advantage. The speed of 80 kilometers per hour is equivalent to more than 22 meters per second.

This speed is actually not that fast. According to the professional evaluation standards of the old era, some level nine enhanced people can burst out at such a speed.

It is even more common for evolvers.

According to the data calculated that year, the early, middle and late stages of the first stage are evolvers, with upper speed limits of around 30-60-90 meters per second respectively.

That is, the limit values ​​of 100 kilometers, 200 kilometers, and 300 kilometers, far exceeding all living things, and can be called a little superman.

But being able to run at such a speed does not mean that you can maintain it.

Not to mention that the original speed would be greatly reduced under the heavy armor, and it could only move slowly. In addition, with the physical limitations, even if it exerted all its strength, it would be exhausted in less than half an hour.

No one can fight tirelessly unless they are willing to burn their vitality and overdraw their evolutionary potential.

Especially in the wasteland battle, there are three days of scorching sun overhead. With a temperature of 40 degrees, the rubber of the tires is at risk of melting if exposed to the sun for a long time, not to mention organic life forms.

Even though the physical fitness of the evolvers has increased exponentially, there are still some impacts. The upper limit and duration of burst are far lower than the limit values ​​in a comfortable environment.

Moreover, the extreme level can only be maintained for a dozen seconds, just like the fastest speed of a sprinter, there is only that brief moment of peak speed, and then the athlete will quickly become exhausted.

In this way, an off-road vehicle capable of running at 80 mph could adapt to the complex terrain of the wasteland, crossing mountains and hills, and easily traversing the rocky surface...

Whether chasing or escaping, it is the best choice for the evolvers!
But now the most important feature, the performance of the tank, is difficult to achieve due to motor problems...

What’s the difference between that and buying an ordinary tram?
At most, the tires are better and the battery life is longer, but the space and comfort are far inferior to ordinary active trams. At least the latter have air conditioning and beds, or carriages for carrying supplies.

After reading the property introduction, Lin Feng took a deep breath and then asked A Lian about the transaction.

He sent Chen Shanshan and the other two. Chen Shanshan mainly represented his will, Liu Mingfei was responsible for checking the vehicle condition, and A Lian was a little more flexible in mind, so she could respond in time in case of any accidents.

Now that the unexpected has happened, it's natural to hear her opinion.

"What did the guild say? Our order should have been obtained directly from the guild. Why do we have to go to Dawn Village to get all the parts at the last minute?"

Lin Feng asked slowly. After reading the vehicle's attribute introduction and calming down, he also thought of this.

A-Lian sighed softly and shrugged helplessly:

"Aside from the three heavy trucks the guild has on hand, which are used to transport cargo, the remaining empty trucks are in rotation and rest."

"They are mainly used by pilgrims. The round trip to the holy city is tens of thousands of kilometers, and they need maintenance and rotation every time they come back."

"Also, running empty vehicles will cause wear and tear over time, and the guild can't afford a professional repair team. So, a while ago, they started restoring specialized vehicles like tanks and heavy-duty trucks."

"That means it doesn't need a lot of power when operating in Oasis Village 5. A maximum speed of ten kilometers per hour is sufficient."

"So their parts were disassembled and sent to Shuguang Village, especially the advanced photovoltaic panels and brushless motors."

"Dawn Village will be responsible for using these parts to repair and replace the guild's pilgrim caravans, and will also perform routine maintenance and repairs on the parts."

"And the association only needs to pay a maintenance fee to ensure the normal operation of the pilgrim caravan."

"Vice President Xu said that the pilgrim caravan maintains the trade route. We ask the leader to be more patient. They are already negotiating with Shuguang Village."

Lin Feng frowned even tighter:

"What did Shuguang Village say? They simply refused to give it?"

A-Lian shook her head:
"Not really. After all, it's nominally a guild asset. It's just that the current situation is turbulent..."

"They said it hasn't been repaired yet. During the last attack on the pilgrim convoy, although only the farm village suffered heavy losses, the guild's convoy was also affected. Gunfire is indiscriminate, and some motors were hit by stray bullets. It'll take some time to repair."

As she spoke, A-Lian opened the door of the tank and moved the machine gun between the back seats to the top of the window.
"This machine gun and the spare ammunition were given to us free of charge by Vice President Xu as a token of apology."

Lin Feng sneered:
"Have you given a clear answer? Time waits for no one."

A Lian hesitated and looked at Chen Shanshan beside her.

The latter came out, opened the door and replied:
"Right now, the motors for the four cars were all removed from other cars. Vice President Xu knows we have urgent needs right now, so he promised us they would be delivered within three days at the latest."

Three days later?
It is now the eighth day, and in three days it will be the eleventh day. There are only four days left until the fork in the road where we will pass the next Holy Spring Day.

The Li family will definitely take action then.

If Shuguang Village was attacked and looted, where would I find intact spare parts and equipment?

Without these features, how can the convoy keep up with the speed of the pilgrim convoy and reach the holy city smoothly?
In short, if you take one step slowly, every step will be slow.

Lin Feng was not one to sit and wait for death, and now was not the time to delay. If he continued to play along, the enemy would probably see it as a sign of weakness.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng regained his composure, looked up at the eyes watching from afar, then looked down at the people in front of him:

"Are Ding Yi and the others still recruiting?"

A-Lian nodded.

"Alian, go back and tell Vice President Xu to bring ten Level 10 Evolution Agents and five hundred kilograms of Level 9 Enhanced Meat. This will serve as compensation for the mismatch between the goods and the order."

Ten portions of level ten evolution agents only equal ten thousand points. Given the current situation, it is difficult to get a pound of evolution meat, so Lin Feng can only settle for the next best thing and strengthen the meat.

One kilogram is estimated to be sold for ten points.

Five hundred kilograms is equivalent to ten thousand points, which is nothing and can barely meet the daily needs of an early-stage evolver.

Originally, Lin Feng planned to exchange it with grenades, but now it seems that there is no need.

A Lian nodded. The leader's request was only worth 20,000 points. Although it seemed like a lot, the transaction amount this time reached 120,000 points.

It’s okay to have a tank, after all, it’s only 5,000 points per tank, which is nothing.

However, the heavy-duty truck, as the 100-ton king of the wasteland, is the core of the fleet, costing 50,000 points per truck. Now that it lacks the matching motor and photovoltaic panels, its maneuverability will definitely be greatly reduced...

The leader was very kind to only charge 20,000 points as compensation.

After explaining this matter, Lin Feng first walked to the heavy truck at the rear to check the situation.

This car is a modified version of the previous heavy truck.

Lin Feng once saw this in the early morning when he was a child. There was so much traffic that it couldn't fit at a traffic light intersection. The entire area was nearly 30 meters long, with more than eight pairs of wheels in front and back, three in front and five in the back.

Today, this modified version of the 100-ton king is even more exaggerated, reaching 32 meters from front to back, and 5 meters high and wide. The front part alone is as long as an ordinary tram.

The tires are one meter high, with four in the front and six in the rear. Even if three or four tires burst in succession, it will not affect its driving.

The reason for installing so many tires is to solve the load-bearing problem.

The 540-meter carriage is meters high and meters wide. The rated load is tons, and the actual load is over tons. As long as it can be loaded, it can be loaded.

It's nothing more than a matter of adding more tires and increasing power.

If the old diesel engine is used, it has sufficient power and can even pull seven or eight carriages in a row, and the 100-ton king can be driven as a train.

We don’t have the resources right now, so we can only use multiple electric motors. However, the power of electric motors is actually stronger than that of internal combustion engines. Many mine transport vehicles are driven by electric motors and use fuel to provide energy.

It’s a pity that we don’t have the resources right now.

Unless battery replacement stations are set up along the migration route, even if large motors are installed, there will not be sufficient power input. The performance limitation is not in the motors, but in energy collection and storage.

At present, the two heavy trucks are also facing these problems:

Heavy truck transport vehicle level 20, orange quality

「基础属性：防御150；伤害100；耐久度8/10；最高速时20km；可消耗十点生命值进行升级」

Additional attributes: Super load; Long-distance transport; Iron head impact

"Super Payload: It has an ultimate load of thousands of tons; due to performance degradation, it currently only has a rated load of 50 tons. When fully loaded, the speed drops by %, to kilometers per hour.

Long-distance transport: Equipped with a five-ton high-density battery, it can continuously provide energy for twelve hours to support long-distance transport. However, the battery is seriously aged, and the battery life is halved. Low-quality photovoltaic power generation is halved every hour, and the time required to fully charge is extended from twelve hours to twenty hours, and the overall performance is only 25%.
Iron Head Impact: The huge load brings high impact damage, but due to the significant reduction in vehicle performance, the damage has dropped from the original 200 points to 100 points.

Note: As the motor ages and the vehicle's performance deteriorates, the maximum speed will be reduced from 50 kilometers per hour to 20 kilometers per hour.

Evaluation: This is a low-performance heavy-duty truck. Due to the reduced quality of key components like photovoltaic panels, energy storage batteries, and drive motors, its overall performance has been significantly reduced. It needs to be equipped with matching equipment to be capable of long-distance transport. Otherwise, it is only suitable for short- and medium-distance transport within a thousand-kilometer radius.

Only 25% of its original performance remains. The high-energy battery that once lasted for twelve hours now has only half of its storage capacity, and photovoltaic power generation cannot keep up. It needs more than twenty hours to recharge...

Lin Feng took a deep breath.

The power generation of the heavy-duty truck is the key to running the ammunition production machine. Without it, the production equipment in your hands is just decoration.

Unable to transform raw materials into high-value-added shells, and wantonly harvesting oasis resources.

After reading the detailed introduction of the heavy-duty truck, Lin Feng looked unhappy.

I already had a rough idea of ​​the purpose of this trip to Shuguang Village.

Then he turned around and looked at the members of the team present, and then said:

"The Dawn Village is going too far. I plan to use my latest harvest to challenge them and see if their camp's defenses can withstand the artillery barrage."

Having said that, Lin Feng continued to make arrangements:
"Alian, go to the guild and explain my attitude and needs to Xu Wanshuang. After that, stay there and wait for me to come."

After receiving the order, A Lian put on her armor and drove away in a chariot.

Only Chen Shanshan was left looking at Lin Feng.

It was obvious that he wanted to follow Lin Feng to Shuguang Village to have a good talk.

However, Lin Feng had other considerations and said:

"You stay here. The convoy cannot be left without someone in charge. Otherwise, it will be easy for someone to attack you."

"You and A-Lian have already shown yourselves. The enemy knows your strength. Naturally, they won't dare to act rashly until they see you leave."

"You come with me first."

After explaining half of it, Lin Feng, who couldn't wait any longer, took Chen Shanshan back to the chariot.

He took out a second-level pure source essence from the freezer and handed it to Chen Shanshan, who had just reached level 19, along with a level 19 evolutionary meat.
"I'll be back soon. It won't take long."

"You prepare yourself here. When I come back, you will start your leapfrog evolution and become a second-level expert."

As he spoke, Lin Feng took out two more sets of power armor:

"You will wear it after I leave. With the power armor, even if the enemy comes to test us, we can easily deal with it."

Chen Shanshan took a deep breath:
"Then you have to wear it too."

Lin Feng nodded:
"Don't worry. Thanks to my harvest from the fifth floor of the ruins, I've already reached the twenty-second level of Evolver. Ordinary early second-level enemies are no match for me. Even if Li Hao, the head of the Li family, comes in person, I can still deal with him in power armor."

Feeling Lin Feng's aura, which suddenly became stronger, Chen Shanshan temporarily felt relieved:
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon. Leave the camp to me."

After putting on the power armor for Lin Feng, he watched him take a batch of small artillery shells from the transport vehicle, drive another off-road vehicle, and speed towards the Shuguang Village behind him.
