  Chapter 109 Nomads from the Wilderness    At the moment of entering the No. 81 Steel Plant, Chu Guang feels The surrounding temperature rose several degrees in an instant, so that he even felt a little hot in his deerskin coat.

Lifting my eyes and looking forward, I saw two one big and one small furnaces in the center of the factory building.

The outer shells of these furnaces are cast by molds, and are covered with refractory materials such as silica as acid linings.

One of the blast furnaces with a blower is responsible for heating the scrap steel stuffed into the furnace to 1,300 degrees to melt it into molten iron, and the other is a converter with six air inlets at the bottom, which is erected by a concrete base. , It is responsible for converting the 1300-degree molten iron into qualified molten steel.

This process does not need to be heated again.

The heat released during the oxidation process is enough to make the molten steel in the furnace rise from 1300 degrees to 1600~1700 degrees, and a certain proportion of chromium is added to it. After the smelting is completed, the converter is dumped and the molten steel is injected into the refractory material. In the produced mold, a pair of rollers are repeatedly rolled.

In order to facilitate the operation, the two of them installed a lot of pulleys and slings on the ceiling. Many of these are materials removed from the waste tire factory, and the quality is still very reliable.

At present, the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant is still a small workshop, and there is no condition to accurately measure the carbon content in the converter. The technical principle used is only the acidity of the mid-nineteenth century modified by "modern" experience. Bottom-blowing converter steelmaking method.

Although Chu Guang doesn't know much about steelmaking, he intuitively tells him that this thing is much more professional than the soil blast furnace that Old Bai got before.

Especially the pair of rolls, and the simple motor made of copper wire that is connected to the side of the rolls, even a layman like him is fine.

At least it looks more reliable than using a hammer.

It seems that there is a lack of a punching machine to make seamless steel pipes, but if you work hard, the problem should not be big!

Brother Levine quickly closed the door of the factory building and brought the manager to their workbench to show their achievements these days.

"The 20mm arc armor is built according to the size you provide! This detachable steel plate can be perfectly connected to the front of the skeleton outside the KV-1, and provides a comparison for your heart and other vital parts. Large armor inclination to avoid fatal injuries. In addition, at your request, we designed two special keels for this armor. Even if the armor is completely scrapped, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced with new armor pieces!"

"According to our performance test, this steel plate can perfectly defend against rifles and pistol bullets of various calibers such as 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, etc., fired at any distance! As long as it is hung in front of your chest, even in the face of gunfire, You can also retreat calmly!"

Chu Guang took the curved steel plate in his hand and weighed it. It is estimated that it weighs a fifty-sixty kg.

This is just a piece of armor.

If the arc steel plate of the same size is also installed on the back, the armor of the entire upper body may weigh a hundred kg.

Without a skeleton, it’s really not that easy to want to wear this stuff. Even the full-body plate armor in the Middle Ages is actually only 25-30kg, and it is difficult to exceed 45kg even with horse gear.

And this is just a breastplate.

"What about the other parts?"

Brother Suo Suo, who was standing by, immediately interjected.

"It's all here! In addition to the front armor, we have also designed the corresponding rear armor for you, as well as bulletproof linings to protect the torso! But for your safety, we still do not recommend you Standing on the front line of the battlefield. After all, such a windy armor will definitely become the target of the enemy's fire."

Chu Guang laughed.

A joke.

Even you can think of it, but would you not think of it?    So far, Chu Guang will only go up to pick up personal heads and show the players a "story animation" when the outcome is almost divided.

As for the matter of charging into the battlefield, why is he embarrassed to steal the limelight from the players? It   is enough to blow a whistle when you are responsible for the timing.

However, this armor suit does not only seem to be usable by itself, but it should also work well for the Roshan Momo and Jun Jun.

Both of their panel attributes are pretty good, the initial strength value is close to 10, a few levels up, it can be carried.

Since it has a debuff, it is difficult to operate complex machines, and it can't do the work of professional players in life. It just happens to be a tank.

A burly white bear or lizardmen charged in heavy armor, the picture is shocking just to imagine.

The 20mm steel plate is enough for these two rare beasts to rush into the enemy's bunker before the armor is broken to pieces by light weapons.

Chu Guang checked other parts of the protective gear including the helmet, which basically covered more than 90% of his body and 100% of the vitals.

With a nitrogen-powered hammer, he does not need to charge with fierce firepower, he only needs to guard against a sneak attack at a critical time.

"The total armor weight is 220kg, which is 20kg over the standard, but the problem is not big." Chu Guang put down the protective gear in his hand and looked towards the two players, "Can I give it a try?"

p>

Brother Levin and Brother Toilet Suo were nodded by appointment, with excited expressions on their faces.

"Of course! We are already ready!"

"Please give it a try!"

Don’t try the equipment you make. What's the point?    Speaking, Brother Levin and Brother Toilet Suo struggled to carry a 100kg breastplate, put it on a wooden stake that served as a target, and then quickly hid aside to avoid being injured by stray bullets.

Chu Guang glanced at the distance, which was about 30 meters, then pulled out the 10mm-caliber silver revolver from his waist and fired a shot at the breastplate.

Bang——!   The loud thunder-like noise reverberated in the factory building, and the muzzle was like electricity. I saw that the breastplate hung on the wooden stake, as if it had been struck by lightning, and fell back together with the stake.

didn't expect this gun is so huge might!

The two players stared wide-eyed and quickly leaned over to take a look. And when they saw the bullet embedded in the steel plate, it was finally relaxed.

"I wore it, but I didn't wear it completely!"

"This bullet can be made, but it didn't bounce off. It's just that the bullet is deflated... hiss, ok Hot." Brother Levine, who reached out to touch the bullet, took his finger back like an electric shock.

It doesn't hurt, but it seems to be blistering.

Walking over and taking a look at the armor piece lying on the ground, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

"You are doing a good job. It seems that your steel plant is on the right track. The reward for completing the task has been distributed to the corporate account of No. 81 Steel Plant, a total of 200 Silver Coins!"

"Apart from this, for your outstanding personal performance, I will reward you with 20 Silver Coin and 200 contributions in the name of the manager."

After listening to the manager, the faces of the two players An expression of joy and excitement appeared in an instant.

didn't expect there are extra rewards for completing this task!    "Thank you, Mr. Manager!!"

"We must continue to work hard! Carry forward the No. 81 Steel Plant, make it bigger and stronger!"

"Very good, very ambitious !" Chu Guang lightly coughed, with a slight expression, continued solemnly, "Next, I have two important tasks to give you."

"Currently, the outpost lacks heavy armor and production The seamless steel needed for the barrel. I need you to produce 10 sets of breastplates weighing less than 30kg. Residents of standard shelters are required to wear them normally, mainly for residents of the strength department."

"apart From this, I also need you to produce 10 seamless steel tubes of 7mm caliber, which can withstand the pressure generated by rifle bullets."

"The task details and rewards have been updated in your VM , Please check it in time."

After listening to this, Brother Suo Suo and Brother Levin stood up straight and shouted with high morale.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Very good.

Chu Guang was satisfied with nodded, and finally asked the two of them to "pay attention to production safety".

Then, he put on a fully-protected and improved outer skeleton, carrying a sledgehammer and leaving the furnace-like steel factory.

Outside the factory building.

The heavy snow stopped for a while, and the sky in the distance gradually deepened.

Now is the rest time for the NPCs, and the weapon shop at the outpost has closed its doors.

With today’s daily salary, Xia Yan from the weapon shop took a walking stick and wandered curiously to the North Gate Market.

Seeing myriad's merchandise on the stall, she stared in surprise.

Of course, the players are the most surprised.

They have never seen Xia Boss leave their weapon shop, nor have they seen her wandering around the market at the north gate.

"Damn, is the weapon shop Lady Boss coming out?"

"Awesome! Now NPC can buy things from players!?"

"Wait , Isn’t the manager always buying? I saw him coming here to steal food a long time ago!"

"Can that be the same? The manager is the pro-son of the planner! Besides, you didn’t listen to the planner. Say? The codes of other NPCs are based on his source code. Obviously, his AI has evolved, and other NPCs have also become smarter! Maybe in the future, all NPCs will be able to buy our things. !"

"Damn, when you say that, how do I feel like a nurturing game?"

"emmmm...is nurturing a manager? It doesn't seem to be a problem either. After all, he is so smart now, and if you don’t say it, you can get half of the credit."

"..."

Sometimes Chu Guang really hopes that his ears are not that sharp, or there are always people. Misunderstood his small-mindedness.

Heaven and Earth Conscience, isn't he not selfless enough?

People with principles like him are almost extinct in the wasteland!   "Here you are."

The sudden voice in his ear interrupted Chu Guang's thoughts.

Turning his face to look, I saw Xia Yan with a cane in his elbow, holding a bunch of roasted venison in one hand, and generously handed it over.

"Last time, you invited me to drink soup, this time I will invite you to eat roasted deer legs!"

I have a cane between my elbows, and I have roasted deer legs in my hand. Meat, this action is somewhat funny.

Chu Guang smiled and took the deer leg.

"Then I'm not welcome. However, as your boss, I would like to remind you that your salary is best saved."

Xia Yan bites Barbecue, blinked.

"What is saving money?"

"Are you not in the habit of saving?"

"Save?"

"Forget it," Chu Guang blew the hot venison leg, gently tore off a small piece with his teeth, chewed it carefully, and said slowly after swallowing it, "When I didn't say it."

Xia Yan: "?"

After such a long and easy life, he almost forgot the time in Beit Street.

The overwhelming majority in the wasteland are counted as one day by day. How can there be the concept of savings? If you    don't know which day, the chips you save will become something in other people's pockets. It's better to spend every day happily.

At this moment, a player suddenly ran from a distance, shouting excitedly while running.

"Many people came from the north! They walked along the elevated out of the city and headed south. There were probably fifty-sixty... maybe sixty or seventy, with a few camels and cows! Not sure about their identities. !"

The little players at the entrance of the market suddenly began to discuss spiritedly.

"Is it a caravan?"

"I am giao, here is a merchant again?!"

"Isn't it the last wave of good winter? ?"

"I don’t know. Strictly speaking, the last wave should be the last wave, but didn’t it happen again? Not surprising!"

Look Looking at the'players' who were discussing spiritedly, Xia Yan glanced at the VM. Seeing nothing happened, she tilted her head and took a peek at the expression on Chu Guang's face, and found that his expression was gradually serious.

Even if she didn't know how to observe her words, she would guess that something bad must have happened.

So Hikari finished eating half of the roasted deer leg in his hand, Xia Yan grabbed the cane and asked in a low voice.

"What happened?"

"80% are nomads."

"Nomads?! What are they doing in Qingquan at this time? Snow It's already so big." Xia Yan looked surprised.

She has heard the rumors of nomads, although they are not very good rumors.

"I don’t know, this year’s snow is very sudden, more than a month earlier than in previous years. Wars, famines, waves... these are not unique to Qingquan City. Zhongzhou continent is not just the river valley province. A province."

The nomads on the wasteland do not refer to those who graze, but the refugees who have lost their homes, are forced to wander, hunt and scavengers for their livelihoods.

They usually represent disaster, chaos, and ominousness, but they are not as blatantly burned and looted as robber.

Maybe one day they found a suitable home, settled down and embarked on a lawful path.

It is also possible that a large number of weapons have been found suddenly, the evil grows to the guts, the breakthrough moral bottom line, and the chaotic evil camp is completely fallen.

Of course, this probability is actually very small, just like buying a lottery ticket, maybe only one or two wins out of 10,000 samples.

In the past, Liu Zhengyue of Brown Farm, because Chu Guang brought a lot of dried meat to trade food, and misunderstood that they were nomads wandering in this area.

I didn't expect this time I really ran into...

"You go back to the shelter first."

If they keep going , You will definitely find the brick factory in the northwest corner of Linghu Wetland Park.

No nonsense and Xia Yan explanation, Chu Guang looked towards the players at the market entrance and raised the volume.

"Everyone gathers."

"Take your weapons and meet them with me!"
