Chapter 951 The Production Line Is Open, the First Mass-Produced Rifle!

Although this album is a new product that was just printed today, it still smells like ink.

But compared to the pictures that come with the product.

Some of the previous products are obviously processed pictures, pictures for exoskeletons.

Why does it look so newly photographed?

It's obviously not the same painting style, okay?

"Ahem, that's it." Walter coughed lightly and explained slightly awkwardly: "Some of the products in front were brought out by us from the foundation, so the pictures and introductions are the same as before. The latter ones are what we have brought from the foundation. Occasionally obtained from transactions during the journey, but please rest assured that as long as the goods are sold by our foundation caravan, there will be quality assurance."

"And as you can see, his price is very low, which is equivalent to us clearing out the stock."

To sum it up, what kind of bike do you want at this price?

Even if there is something wrong with this mechanical exoskeleton, someone will come to the door and push it on the head of the Foundation's caravan.

The prices of things are so cheap, it’s very conscientious to share some risks when buying them.

Su Mo, who had roughly guessed the source of this thing, showed an uncertain smile on his face, nodded slightly and said:

"Well, these clearance items are exactly what we need."

It seems that the Red Spider Caravan did not suppress its loneliness last night and participated in the disputes in the western suburbs?

This group of people's methods are really impressive. They were able to obtain a complete exoskeleton armor from Pingtan Shelter.

Seeing that Sumo was not planning to continue asking, Walter breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously:

"Master Manager, if you are still satisfied with these products, I wonder if we can start discussing specific cooperation?"

Although the manager of Tianyuan Shelter is not as difficult to deal with as expected, he is much easier to get along with than the managers of several large shelters that he has dealt with before.

But for some reason, Walter always felt like he was being seen through.

This is simply too weird.

"Of course, this is what we are going to talk about next." Sumo nodded and continued: "Captain Sean reached a preliminary agreement with me yesterday. To put it simply, you need a lot of basic materials and some labor. Go Are you going to help recycle that moss in Qinggang City?”

Walter nodded seriously.

"Yes, we may need fifty male workers to enter Qinggang City for collection work. Each person will be paid at the rate of two commercial coupons per day. In addition, during the work period, we will be responsible for their daily needs, such as food and accommodation. There's plenty of room on the Red Spider chariot."

"As for the price of the materials, Captain Sean said that you don't want to use coupons to settle the bill. You want to directly exchange the materials for the items on our list, which is fine. But we also need to find a relay to serve as a value anchor. You see "Use our coupons or your refuge's currency?"

The Foundation's caravan has not had to worry about trading items for a long time.

Whether you go to a pre-war city or a gathering place built after the war, coupons are always hard currency.

This is the first time since the establishment of the Red Spider Caravan that commercial coupons are exchanged for local currency.

However, it was somewhat different from what Walter expected. This kind-faced manager didn't seem to like this approach.

"Relay?"

Sumo smiled and shook his head.

"This is too troublesome. With the relay, we have to agree on the corresponding value of each item. In the end, don't I exchange the materials for your coupons, and then use the coupons for consumption?"

"Do you think this is okay? Let's just talk about the overall number. What is the specific number of materials required by the Red Spider Caravan, and what is your ideal price? If the price multiplied by the two can be negotiated, Then you don’t have to worry about subsequent transactions.”

"And you also know that the commercial coupons you issue to the residents under my command will still end up in my hands, and then I will use them to buy your goods. It would be better for you to just package everyone's salary and living costs together and pay them together. Give it to me, you don’t have to worry about their food and daily life, how about I add the money to the price of the material packaging and do the purchasing together?”

When he heard the words "too troublesome", Walter's face was still a little twitchy.

But after hearing Soma's explanation later, he said thoughtfully:

"Do you want to use postpaid?"

Sumo was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face.

This Walter was really a smart man, and he immediately understood the deeper meaning of his words.

When dealing with such people, there is no need to be secretive.

"Of course, I can't escape my shelter here. As long as we reach a cooperation agreement and the Red Spider Caravan can ensure that we can deliver enough materials, why can't we use it first, right?"

"And this deep-level cooperative relationship will greatly increase the friendship between us. Tianyuan Sanctuary will remember the help of the Red Spider Caravan, and we will be your forever trading partners in the future."

If it were on Blue Star, the friendship in the gathering place would be nothing to mention in the Foundation's caravan.

But here, Sean had specifically warned me before coming here.

Even if the selling price is lowered, the friendship between the two parties must be maintained as much as possible.

After making a mental calculation, Walter smiled.

"Okay, that's as you wish."

Soma stretched out his right hand and the two held it together.

"grateful!"

After putting all the items together and calculating the price, the Red Spider Caravan quickly calculated the amount of materials needed.

First of all, steel, at least 20 tons are needed. The Red Spider Chariot must reserve more repair materials in advance for the harsh terrain that may be encountered next, and also prepare several tracks for replacement.

Secondly, other alloy materials, including the relatively rare tungsten, are also needed in large quantities.

Packing these things together, Walter gave a very sincere price.

20,000 business coupons.

Three technologies to choose from.

500 daily necessities to choose from.

A nutritional paste made of ten tons of starch and ten tons of protein can be fed to two thousand people for a month.

Among them, the business coupons can be used to purchase goods according to the prices on the trading atlas.

For example, the exoskeleton armor only requires 750 business coupons for one unit, and a total of eleven units are completely within the budget.

"On behalf of Tianyuan Territory, I accept the offer of the Red Spider Caravan."

Having achieved his psychological expectations, Su Mo was not greedy and immediately drafted a contract according to the standards of the foundation.

The signing process was very simple, with only Chen Shen and another member of the caravan as witnesses, but the whole process made people feel a solemn atmosphere that only exists in the civilized era.

Indeed.

If you want to restore civilization on this strange land, a little sense of ceremony is still needed.

It is these seemingly cumbersome things that have subtly created a huge and regular market environment.

With the signed contract, Walter took his people back to report with satisfaction.

Two days later, as the Tianyuan Territory delivered the first batch of materials, the Red Spider Caravan will transport most of the traded goods in advance, just as the two parties make friends.

"This manager is really straightforward, much easier to negotiate than we expected." Walter couldn't help but sigh as soon as he left the underground city.

Joseph, who was disguised as a staff member beside him, was calm, and his eyes were still fixed on the new industrial zone.

"This place gives me a different feeling."

"Different?"

"I've traveled a lot, and I can roughly guess what kind of gathering place it is and where it will eventually go."

"But this Tianyuan Shelter is a little different. Maybe it's another Bokelozhi!"

"Bokelozhi?!" Walter was surprised: "This place has the potential to be a holy city, impossible?"

The famous holy city of Bokelozhi on Blue Star.

At first, it was just a small gathering place with only more than 20 people.

But in just 30 years, they have gathered more than a million people from scratch and built a super-large city with an area no less than that of the pre-war era.

It is rumored that the level of technology in it has completely surpassed the peak of mankind and is developing towards another stage.

The famous academy is the largest force in the city of Bokelozhi.

For a new gathering place, the highest praise is the four words "Bokelozhi".

"Taking the road of self-developed industry and relying on finished machines are two completely different difficulties. The former requires thousands of times more effort than the latter. Except for Bokelozhi, almost no gathering place on Blue Star will do such a thankless task."

"When I was young, I also thought about setting up an industrial factory and no longer living such a precarious life."

A trace of yearning seemed to appear on Joseph's face, but soon, he suppressed it again.

"But who can say for sure, maybe they gave up decisively."

"Hey, that manager seems to have gone to the industrial zone, why don't we follow him to see?"

Suddenly seeing Su Mo leave the shelter and walk briskly towards the industrial zone, Walter suggested.

"Forget it, Sean is still waiting for our good news."

"Okay then."

Although I really want to see what the gathering place with Bokelozhi potential mentioned by Joseph has.

But having said that, Walter can only follow Joseph to the direction of the caravan camp.

When the two of them just walked out of the village, Su Mo also came to the gate of the new industrial zone.

This place is now completely independent outside the village.

Relying on the original farm tool center, eight plots of land have been derived nearby.

Because the factory building has not been fully built yet, the Dream Refining Steel Plant and the Madman Weapon Factory are still crowded together.

As soon as he walked into the yard, Su Mo felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

The clanging sound of ironmaking came from the right side of the farm tool center, and it was vaguely seen that more than a dozen people were busy refining the powerful iron ore.

"Lord, you are here, come and see the first product of our Madman Weapon Factory."

The Doomsday Madman came out from the yard on the left, knocked on Su Mo who was standing at the door, and greeted him with a smile.

In his hand, there was a silver-white rifle that had not been painted yet.

Looking at the shape of the rifle, it looks a bit like the M-1 rifle of the territory.

It has clear edges and corners and a slender gun body, if the original high-strength plastic buttstock had not been replaced with wood.

The similarity between the two should be more than 80%.

"Is this a replica of the M-1 rifle?"

"Yes, it's not actually an imitation. Our current machine tools can completely produce the M-1. However, after my research, I found that although the M-1 rifle has a cool appearance, it is actually very troublesome to maintain. It is not as good as ours at all. The old guns on earth that have been tested in the market are easy to use, so I boldly changed them.”

"Then, I copied five more old guns based on the same-scale drawings."

The two of them walked inside.

On the table in the middle of the inner courtyard, Sumo saw the so-called five old guns at a glance.

"Hey guys, is this an AK-47?"

Sumo's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw the most conspicuous one among the five guns.

The Ak47's leather is durable and has been tested on the battlefield.

Even during continuous shooting or when foreign matter such as dust enters the gun, its mechanical structure can still ensure that it continues to work.

"Actually, I originally wanted to make the 74M model of the AK series, but after thinking about it finally, I asked the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army to do some research. They all thought that accuracy is not that important in the wasteland at the moment. If we really start a war, You won’t be able to shoot at a distance of 500 meters. The limit is 300 meters, so accuracy is far less important than shooting fast and stable.”

The doomsday madman kept explaining.

"Based on this standard, I came up with these guns, which are"

"SVD sniper rifle, Minimi light M249 machine gun, M1P5 submachine gun."

Good guy.

It’s such a punishment to have a classic from each category.

Sumo also didn't expect that among the people under his command, there would be someone with such a strong level of arms manufacturing.

No, it should be said to be a copy level.

Although the appearance of these guns is slightly different from real guns, compromises have been made for better maintenance, and some handsome edges and corners have been cut off.

But to be honest, Sumo not only didn't think there was a problem with such changes, but was actually a little relieved.

As for styling, I can’t eat.

Practical, easy to use and durable, these attributes are real.

Every battle in the wasteland is not a drill. Whether the weapons are useful or not is related to the safety of every soldier.

Everything must give way to applicability.

Stroking the cold gun body, the apocalyptic madman said regretfully.

"It's a pity that we still can't make bullets. We can only watch this gun once it is made."

Holding the gun in his hand, Sumo also wanted to go out and shoot a few shots to test its performance.

But there is no way, the territory now has only the last 1,200 bullets left in total.

Evenly divided into the hands of every soldier, it would be impossible to even have a magazine for each person, let alone use bullets with experimental performance.

"Don't worry about the improved version of M-1 for now, just make these old guns. How much can our current production capacity reach?"

"You don't have to worry about this. As long as there are enough materials, this machine tool can produce at least sixty guns a day." The doomsday madman said with confidence, "And I'm trying to use it to make some parts to see if I can We can’t just piece together a few simple machine tools.”

"If it succeeds, our production speed will be faster by then!"

Damn it.

It's okay to use machine tools to produce parts and make a few more.

Worthy of being the mother of industry, this is simply the hen that placed the order.

At this moment, Sumo just felt that the survival points he spent before were not worth it.

"As for the gun, don't worry yet."

"As for the bullet problem, I will find a way to solve the raw material problem as soon as possible!"

There is already a gun production line, and the importance of bullets has once again risen to a higher level.

With a single thought, Soma immediately stopped hesitating.

No matter what, let Liu Lu come up with some first, and he must also get through this wave of raw material shortage!

As for the risks.

With enough guns and ammunition, Sumo was confident that he would encounter not only ordinary predators, but also those gopher guys!
