Chapter 1717 Miscellaneous 3/3

Dressed neatly and refreshed, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't see Hao'er after all. He saw Zhang Huaian and Wang Le waiting for the door just as he walked out. Seeing him coming out, he immediately surrounded him, nodded in greeting, and looked at the two old men in front of him. Zhang Xiaoqiang Shaking his head helplessly, returning to the base not only feels the warmth of home, but also has the responsibility of taking care of the 100,000 survivors. Although helpless, Zhang Xiaoqiang followed Wang Le and Zhang Huai'an to inspect the military factory inside the base.

The cockroach base is not as narrow as the hot spring base. It is composed of mountains and valleys. If you want to go from the beginning to the end, you need a vehicle. It takes more than half an hour to get there for tens of kilometers. Zhang Xiaoqiang, who is sitting in a military vehicle, observes the road In the fields on both sides, busy people are everywhere in the field. After he got angry about the food problem, the fat cook made great efforts to rectify it. It is not too late to make up for it. Although he said the best time to sow seeds, the last days are miracles. In this era, as long as the seeds germinate, some dealers can always be harvested.

There are traces of battle everywhere, and there are still large areas of scorching in some places. Some white bone ginseng can be vaguely seen in the black ashes, and weeds growing wildly on the roadside can be seen from time to time. The location, various rock crevices, roadside drainage ditches, and some rock gullies where there is no soil.

"It's strange to say that as long as there are dead zombies, the weeds will grow wildly. I saw that many weeds are only a little soil the size of a fingernail. If the water source can be guaranteed, it can grow more than ten catties. If these It would be great if the weeds were all food, we don’t have many livestock, and we can’t run out of the fodder, and we have to send people to cut it down, which is a waste of time..."

Zhang Huaian pointed to the weeds outside and said this to Zhang Xiaoqiang in a gossip tone. When he said this, Zhang Xiaoqiang frowned immediately, which made Zhang Huaian feel guilty, thinking that he had said something wrong, but Zhang Xiaoqiang did not blame Zhang Huaian , but thinking about the prairie army, the corpse fluid of zombies has a catalytic effect on the growth of plants and farmers. Why doesn't the Hubei base know the role of corpse fluid? You know, the Prairie Army can easily feed more than a million people, that is, they restore a large amount of farmland and have zombies as resources to continuously produce food hoards. Even if it is conservatively estimated, only the Yellow River irrigation area in Yinchuan area is at least eight Within a month, the food that can satisfy the consumption of three million people for a year was produced, not to mention the research on various new mutant plants.

"The perilla wood pulp I made with just now tastes good, how many people in the base can drink it?"

Perilla wood pulp is produced from mutated plants. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn’t know that the base’s research work on mutated plants had reached such a level. The perilla wood pulp that can replace milk is obviously the best nutrient. If it can be provided in large quantities, it will not only benefit the army There are benefits, and the benefits for those minors are even greater. Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's inquiry, Zhang Huai'an smiled wryly:

"That thing can be counted as a luxury item now. There are very few perilla trees nearby. We sent a large number of people to find only a hundred or so. These perilla trees are large and small. The larger ones can produce a cup a day. The smaller ones are only more than a dozen milliliters, and the total daily production is less than 5,000 milliliters. In addition to satisfying Mu Peipei and Haoer, it can also satisfy Keer and the others. As for the others, they just taste it every now and then. Taste..."

Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded to show that he knew. It seems that the Prairie Army did not share the results. Although he did not know whether it was deliberate or unintentional, Zhang Xiaoqiang disliked this approach very much. Even if the Prairie Army had no bad intentions, it was enough to explain the faction. As he guessed before, if he is gone, all the forces established in his hands will immediately collapse. Except for the Hubei base that can obey orders, the other forces will at most maintain their face, but they will never obey orders With the management of the Hubei base.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaoqiang found that he had no good solution, not only the grassland army, even Song Kunhai in the underground city, the forces of Zhuo Mingyue, and the Russian subordinates on Longhua Island would not obey orders. They could obey Zhang Xiaoqiang, But he would never obey other people. If Zhang Xiaoqiang was them, he would probably do the same. At this moment, he understood why the founding emperor always liked to slaughter heroes. Or let them enjoy the title of title, be intoxicated by wine and beauties, or give them money and brocade so that they can return to their hometown. To put it bluntly, this is the situation Zhang Xiaoqiang faces. Time is a blessing rather than a curse.

"From now on, set up a plant research center as a first-level confidential unit, find a canyon that can be closed in the nearby mountainous area, and send the most loyal team to take over the defense. No one is allowed to enter or leave easily, and mobilize materials in Wuhan to ensure maximum protection The consumption of the research center, and then record all the mutated plants found, let Xu Jing come back to preside over the research center..."

Talking about Xu Jing, Zhang Xiaoqiang remembered the previous battle briefing. The Hubei base fought against the zombies in Wuhan. The early stage was arduous and excellent, and the form went from bad to bad. In the end, the entire cockroach base was about to be destroyed. The troops were unable to cope, so they had to turn to the Yangtze River Fleet for help. At the last moment, Zhao Deyi's troops rescued by the Yangtze River Fleet regained the outer wall and cut off the zombies' retreat. In the air battle to kill the New Era Penetrators, Z2 Zombies in the Zombie Sea were discovered, and smart bombs were dropped, and the final victory was achieved. On the basis of this victory, the role of the eclipse source is the most important, if it weren't for this thing Let alone whether the corpses of the zombies can be disposed of as quickly as possible, whether Zhao Deyi's elite commando can occupy the wall is a problem.

Xu Jing is a high-tech military engineer bought by Zhang Xiaoqiang. He thought it was just a waste at first, but finally made a giant chain saw to solve the problem of the confidant. The d3 zombies in the gathering place, it can be said that without Xu Jing, the blocking battle at the gathering place that day did not know what it would have been like. There is no doubt that Xu Jing's achievements saved tens of thousands of survivors and thousands of survivors. soldiers.

Zhang Huaian didn't ask what the Plant Research Center does, as long as Zhang Xiaoqiang ordered him to complete it unconditionally, but when Wang Le heard Xu Jing come back, he lowered his head and thought about something, Xu Jing is the treasure of the Hubei base, Zhang Xiaoqiang let Xu Jing Coming back may mean that something will happen. Wang Le has great expectations for this. Wang Bing is his godson. He has cooperated with Xu Jing in the gathering place. The two are very close now. Xu Jing is almost the same. It can be said that she is his daughter-in-law, but Xu Jing has another identity. Zhang Xiaoqiang bought Xu Jing at the beginning, and Xu Jing needs Zhang Xiaoqiang's consent to be with Wang Bing. How to get Zhang Xiaoqiang to agree? , at least Wang Le felt sleepy.

"How many zombies were caught?"

If you want to develop a plant research center, you must have fertilizer. Zombies are the best fertilizer. Zhang Xiaoqiang's inquiry made Zhang Huai'an sluggish. Although there were hundreds of thousands of zombies left in the base after the z2 zombies died, these zombies were all in the army. In the encirclement and suppression, all the dead were wiped out. If the number was scattered, elite soldiers would be sent to shoot at close range. If there were a large number, they would be corroded with corrosion sources.

Zhang Huai'an's silence Zhang Xiaoqiang understands clearly, since the Hubei base doesn't know the potential of zombies, and won't have the habit of keeping zombies, he couldn't help reminding:

"Order Zhao Deyi's troops to capture zombies as much as possible, starting from evolutionary zombies. The higher the level, the greater the credit, and increase the reward base. Let them capture more than 3,000 evolutionary zombies and more than 300 Type 2 zombies for the cockroach base. From now on, these zombies will be one of our most precious resources... Also, when cleaning up the battlefield, all undead zombies are not allowed to be killed, and all of them are brought back..."

The zombie incident came to an end. Zhang Xiaoqiang, Wang Le and others entered the arsenal of the cockroach base together. As soon as they entered, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw rows of neat machines roaring, processing various raw materials and parts. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked around , I saw thousands of barrels lined up on the wooden frame in the corner, each barrel was black and shiny, and the blue of the barrels reflected the luster faintly under the natural light.

"These are the barrels we made ourselves. In the past, the barrels of the rifles were the most vulnerable to damage. If they were broken, there was nothing to replace them. Soldiers usually dare not do shooting training for fear of reducing the life of the guns. Before finding the arsenal of the Airborne Army, there was basically no way to deal with damaged weapons, but after finding the machinery of the Hanyang Ordnance Repair Institute, we were able to manufacture the barrels ourselves, and in the future we basically don’t have to worry about anything except ammunition..."

Speaking of gun barrels, Wang Le is very proud. During the sniper battle in the gathering place, 80% of the rifles had problems. In the worst case, almost all the tens of thousands of rifles in the militia's arsenal were destroyed. Once the rifle is damaged, it is not even as good as a fire stick. At a critical moment, the soldiers can only use bayonets and lose hand-to-hand combat. Now that it is better, he has taken over some machinery from the original Hanyang Arsenal, and with the large amount of raw materials that the army hoarded in the Ordnance Factory, they also have The cost that can maintain equipment.

Zhang Xiaoqiang highly appreciates the hoarding of spare barrels. He has always been constrained by the military industry, and the combat effectiveness of the army has not been able to improve quickly. The legacy before the end of the world is rich. Weapons and equipment of various sizes are constantly being discovered, but these Equipment is restricted by logistics, and there is no complete industrial system. No matter how good the weapons are, no matter how much ammunition is, they will only be consumed and cannot be replenished. If soldiers can win every battle on the front line, the biggest project is logistics. , without reloading bullets, without smooth transportation, and it is impossible to have enough squandered ammunition and supplies to provide them with a basis for victory.

In addition to the barrel, 80% of the parts of the rifle can also be manufactured here. These 80% of the parts are enough to assemble a rifle. Except for some parts that require special engineering plastics, there are basically no problems. , and they got a lot of brass and plate rolling machines in Wuhan City. With these things, they can make their own cartridge cases, and they can make bullets as soon as they can make cartridge cases. Although the output is not very large, the monthly output is only three More than 100,000 rounds, but compared to the previous ammunition that can only be rejuvenated, it is already gratifying enough.

"Our next plan is to produce cars, engines, chassis and so on by ourselves. This time, we gained a lot in Wuhan and found a large factory specializing in the production of off-road vehicles. Unfortunately, the original technicians of the factory are no longer there. , We have all the equipment and materials, but no one understands this thing. I heard that there is a guy in Yinchuan who is very powerful and can optimize various equipment and machinery. A horsepower engine...."

Wang Le no longer pays attention to the military industry, and the Wuhan area is doing well. Most of the zombies in the surrounding cities are concentrated in the suburbs and gradually spread to the surrounding fields. It is easier for the search team to find supplies and various firearms than before. In addition, the zombies leave the central area of ​​the city, and some survivors living in every corner can also find Find something to eat before starving to death, so their current focus is no longer on fighting for survival. For the first time, development has surpassed the military. The way of development is the way of transportation. With enough vehicles, the largest increase in transportation capacity, In order to gather the resources and raw materials scattered everywhere, transform them into various finished products, and increase the productivity and development of the supply base, so that they can get rid of the predicament of relying on the legacy of the previous life, and really stand up, even if they can't find those things , they can also create their own.

"Don't aim too high. We have only developed for two years. Now the most important thing is to try our best to gather survivors. The population of Hubei is several times that of the border areas, and the number of survivors is less than one-tenth of that there. This is not good. In order to have sufficient productivity and depth, we must open up connections within several spheres of influence. Only in this way can we have enough confidence to finally defeat all enemies.

For now, the focus is still on stockpiling ammunition and food. After all, we have not yet reached a time when we are completely safe. I passed Shanghai when I came from the coast, and less than 10% of the zombies in the city center were left. The zombies are all out of the city, and the speed of the zombies is far lower than I expected, but they will come one day, don't count too much on the source of eclipse, any accident may happen, we have all kinds of precautions Planning and filing. "
