Chapter 23 1.23 Preparation of the Maximum Surplus
Facing the supplies on the list, Wei Keng suddenly felt that his previous plan could be torn up and started over.
For example, in terms of weapons and equipment, Wei Keng originally wanted to replace all the equipment, but after seeing the supplies on the list,
Wei Keng found that after he chose to exchange at the cost of 300 days, in dealing with the threat of Ji'an City, it was no longer a single option of "launching a high-intensity blocking war in a short period of time". Instead, he could carry out long-term attrition operations to counter the invasion of the enemy.
If we simply start from the goal of defending the base area, rather than destroying the enemy's living forces, guerrilla warfare can reduce casualties.
So the weapons and equipment must be reselected.
First of all, heavy firepower must be available, and eight 60-caliber mortar tubes must be available-this demand remains unchanged. This is what Wei Keng had to choose from the beginning. Without this, Wei Keng would have to make a conscienceless cannon. In terms of light machine guns, three are equipped. Because there are some difficulties in replenishing bullets, it is useless to have more, just to solve the problem of whether there is any.
But then, the plan of hundreds of assault rifles was directly cut off, and replaced by fewer and finer equipment.
Guerrilla warfare requires night operations, so 50 sets of infrared night vision goggles, a set of solar charging panels, and a small boiler generator set weighing one ton, and a series of power transformation equipment are attached.
As for the main weapon, 40 high-precision snipers are matched with 40,000 special bullets and spare barrels. The barrel life of the sniper rifle is 2,000 rounds according to the factory standard.
It seems that it is almost enough.
…
As for other carrying capacity, it is actually to prepare for further insurance for survival.
Chemical equipment must be replaced. The chemical reactor assembled by Wei Keng himself can only produce more than 20 kilograms of nitric acid a day, and the smell is too strong. Some joint gaps can only be blocked for a short time by sealing with clay gum.
Now we have to import a set of standardized small equipment, that is, modern technology and traditional equipment, with thermometers and pressure gauges.
In addition, it is too labor-intensive to continuously extract plant ash to obtain alkali, so we also asked for a set of ammonia production equipment and a set of simple Hou's alkali production facilities.
The next step is to get a gas generator, a small steelmaking furnace, a better bullet molder, and steel rolling equipment.
Wei Keng is still thinking about the steel on the rails outside. Although the focus of guerrilla warfare is the forty high-precision sniper rifles, these weapons and equipment are constantly rotated by the front.
But in fact, it is still necessary for everyone to be equipped with a gun. What if there is a possibility of large-scale combat? With a gun in hand, you don't panic. Now the living place is all earthen walls and fortifications. Hearing the movement outside, the difference in mentality between having a gun and not having a gun, Wei Keng knows himself in the production team best.
As for the remaining space carrying capacity, Wei Keng asked for a full four thousand bearing rings, as well as large and small core parts of steam engines.
The combination of production equipment, personnel, and basic transportation construction is considered production.
Wei Keng knew the small mines in the nearby area, so what he lacked was transportation capacity. Wei Keng in this plane tried to carry it with a shoulder pole. He felt that his shoulders were about to break after carrying about 50 kilograms of goods for one kilometer. Later, a wheelbarrow was used to transport 200 kilograms of goods five kilometers away. The wheelbarrow has no bearing ring, and the friction between the wheel and the front axle will make a very loud creaking sound when it rotates. When Wei Keng pushed this thing, he began to miss the construction site cart that he used to disdain.
The wheel represents transportation power, and the parts that can withstand the friction when the wheel rotates are strategic parts of the transportation industry. But the two concave steel rings and steel balls look simple, but only modern industry can make them.
With transportation power, the excavated soil blocks can be easily moved, and the brine production along the coast does not need to be boiled in a simple iron pot. The efficiency is improved by a hundred times.
With transportation power, dozens of tons of bricks can be transported from the ruins of the city to the river near the settlement, together with the wood transported by water in the jungle, to form a charcoal burning site and a lime kiln.
With transportation power, animals killed in the jungle do not need to be disassembled on the spot and carried down the mountain in a backpack, but can be sent directly to the foot of the mountain, the fur is washed, pickled, the meat is salted and air-dried, the internal organs are boiled, and the scraps are composted. Cleaner processing.
After Wei Keng selected the things.
After the system confirmed, it was immediately teleported.
In the central field, as Wei Keng piled a large amount of wood in the center of the field, the atmospheric charge in the sky began to condense around a point, and soon gathered into a ball lightning. However, smoke appeared on the wood and suddenly a blazing flame appeared. However, the heat energy of the flame did not jump upward with the flow of air, but focused on the ball lightning.
The greater the energy in the center of the ball lightning, the more the space began to distort, as if it was constantly absorbing everything around it. Wei Keng also felt the suction, but something flashed in his consciousness and he could not feel the suction. In this process, it seemed that his body was originally a magnet feeling the magnetic force, and suddenly it became a copper block and could not feel the magnetic force.
However, the flow of ground materials continued, and a large number of fine particles gathered towards the center of the ball lightning from a few hundred meters, and a large amount of gasified materials rose close to the ground.
Twenty seconds later, the ball lightning separated a light surface and printed around a piece of three-dimensional space. Soon, the prototype of the equipment appeared in the repeated sweeps of this energy.
This is "teleportation".
Wei Keng: So I sent it this way, um, printed it out?
…
In the dimension.
After Bai Linglu obtained the list of supplies needed by Wei Keng, he controlled the "teleportation" while reporting to the top.
Superior space department: "Does he know about this arrangement?"
Bai Linglu: "Weikeng Shuttle is currently undergoing intensive development work. I will describe the relevant reports to him in accordance with the regulations."
Supervisor Bai Hengqian: "You should inform him now."
Bai Linglu: "During this shuttle trip, he had a crisis of trust in me - he had negative feelings of resistance to my assignment. If I interfere with my opinions, it will affect his work attitude."
From all aspects, Wei Keng's current work plan is very beautiful. He talks about staying here for a while before leaving, but in the eyes of the monitor, what Wei Keng is currently building on the target plane , which is preparation for long-term stationing.
From accommodation, water, food reserves, ammunition production, and road smoothing.
No matter how you look at it, it's not just a one-year stay, it's more like maintaining a lasting intervention force here.
From Wei Keng's personal thinking, there is a possibility that his return may be interfered with, so in order to prepare for the worst case scenario, long-term planning is done as much as possible.
The longer Wei Keng's preparations are, the more Bai Linglu in the space bubble can't help but want to promote this mission in the long term. And some of her thoughts still have to wait for the decision of the Space-Time Administration.
In the eyes of the Space-Time Management Bureau, the combination of Wei Keng and Bai Linglu is a bit weird among the plane exploration team. One of them is so busy that he and his partner can't say more than three sentences. The other one was just making guesses and making plans for plane exploration. Now, he was even hiding a little bit.
Call it a conflict, there is no conflict between the two parties. There is no situation where the time traveler and the supervisor in some teams are not at odds with each other and they are replaced directly. I would like to say that it is a pleasure to cooperate with both parties! Many time travelers and supervisors have friendships that go beyond colleagues. Wei and Bai are completely ordinary netizens.
After reviewing the situation in the Pandora plane again, the superior space sent a message to Bai Linglu after a serious discussion: "Observe his losses in this battle. If the battle losses exceed one-tenth of his total, then arrange for him immediately return."
One-tenth is very light. In the process of increasing consciousness of Wei Keng, only one-third of the casualties can be considered as damage. The Space and Time Administration has been very conservative towards Wei Keng.
Bai Linglu: "Received, but if his loss is extremely low? Then is it okay..."
Superior space: "Observe first, and we will make arrangements for the follow-up matters."
For example, in the conversation between Bai Linglu and the superior space, in fact, there is no such thing as delaying the return after transferring materials. Wei Keng will be able to return early in another ten days.
The current delivery facility is not actually an inter-dimensional transport. Wei Keng’s consciousness has calibrated the properties of all the material particles here after living here for more than 80 days. With these calibrations, the material transport just now was directly printed using the energy of this plane. . No need to consume much information enthalpy.
This is equivalent to the initial moon landing, sending a water bottle consumes a lot of fuel and the life of the transmitter. However, after the moon landing, after completing the construction of the station on it, the properties of the lunar soil are detected, and bricks are directly kneaded on it. For solidification in a solar furnace, there is no need for any spacecraft to transmit it.
120 tons of materials is not a transmission limit, but the information enthalpy printing range that Bai Linglu can mobilize within his authority.
This, in some special missions of plane exploration missions, the supervisor can theoretically announce the battle mode and assign tasks to the traversers.
…
On the earth's side, in East Asia's No. 14 gravity well, it is in the interdimensional space opened up by a high-energy state.
Yuan Yue asked Luo Hongxing, another veteran time traveler: "What do you think of this situation?" The situation here refers to the fact that Wei and Bai showed signs of a "two-headed dragon" in their decision-making to open up the Pandora plane. .
Luo Hongxing: "Currently, we are in the midst of a war. The problem with the new team is not serious. After this conflict, we will try to replace him with a supervisor."
Yuan Yue said: "To be honest, we watched Wei Qiang, Lao Wei's child, grow up. And this Wei Qiang, hey, I thought he was a bit boring when he was a child."
Luo Hongxing pointed out the situation on the Pandora plane: "He is also very lazy in exploring and doing things in this plane. So, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different, but after all, they are born from the dragon, not from the mouse. A nest of”
Yuan Yue laughed but stopped discussing the issue with him. Instead, he said: "Go down and be careful."
Luo Hongxing: "Don't worry, I have been to the Pandora plane. As long as the life radiation there is controlled, there is basically no danger." Having said this, he once again looked at Wei Keng's current living situation: "I After going down, the passage to the war zone will be opened.”
…
In the Pandora plane, Wei Keng gathers with some fireworks. In a large house made of clay, Wei Keng's representatives on various working groups communicate here.
Confirming that conflict was inevitable, Wei Keng began to make up for the various forces in this plane.
In the open space in the center of the gathering place, a sand table made of yellow mud was placed in the center. Here is a topographic map of two hundred kilometers surrounding Zhuhujiao, with 40% of the area passed by Wei Keng's team. Factual corrections were made based on actual observations.
The first group of Wei Keng gathered around this big sand table and analyzed the political situation in this area with the information obtained by the investigators.
Human power is currently declining, and the major city-states are autonomous in various places, no, it should be semi-self-destruction. There are still several hegemonic cities in the entire human world. The East Asian continent seems to be a tribute system. Many secondary cities protect the main cities along the rivers. For example, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River basins maintain this state form.
As for the cities in the Minyue and Zhejiang areas, they actually want to pay tribute. Because the core cities in the river area are the best preserved places for human technology before the Great Destruction, with many more advanced biological and electronic technologies. Paying tribute can obtain these precious technical support. However, the traffic on land and sea is blocked by various gene communities, making it very difficult to pay tribute here.
In addition to technical exchanges and contacts, in terms of culture, cities like Ji'an City also have to be appointed by the internal mayor of the state center, well, appointed. After all, it has only been 150 years since the Pandora Field completely devoured East Asia, and everyone still needs a legal system.
Regional strength relies on legal system, and beastmasters can be recruited. The central city, by giving regional legal system, counts the data of beastmasters outside the actual control area as much as possible.
Wei Keng highlighted a key point in this information.
First: After attacking Ji'an City, the overlord city behind it cannot send forces to interfere. There must be an upper limit for one's own military operations.
Second: Some people in Ji'an City cannot go to other areas to recruit joint forces, so - one's own military operations must also have a certain bottom line, at least the opponent must be exhausted and no longer have any plans for military adventures.
...
Military preparations are being made, and economic research is also being done.
In the newly built "airtight" dark room six hundred meters away, there are grids made of bricks and tiles, and fungal culture media composed of broken wood chips are placed in the grids.
Here, Wei Keng's economic research team looked at these clusters of mushrooms and thought again, can this thing be used as staple food?
This small mushroom is the economic foundation of the current city-state.
Humans are no longer the controllers of the earth's ecological communities in the past. Without vast farmland to supply food, they can only look for other ecological niches.
So eat wood? Of course, you can't eat it directly. In the Pandora field, the variants of fungal organisms can process wood within two to three days. Quickly decompose wood into more easily decomposable organic matter. Humans could not digest fungi before the Pandora era. So, how many meals can you eat with Flammulina velutipes? Such a stinky joke. But humans have a life radiation effect, and under this radiation effect, the bacteria in the human intestine and humans are in a gene community.
In the early days of the catastrophe, when the hungry humans began to dig termite caves for food, they gradually discovered that they could completely digest fungi. This is because the intestinal bacterial community took away the genes of the symbionts of termites.
Today, this type of substance has become the main food for humans in the south of the Yangtze River in East Asia.
More importantly, this kind of food is conducive to storage, and the raw materials are easy to obtain. The city-state's crusher crushed the surrounding trees, and the wood chips mixed with spores waiting to develop were sealed together with quicklime. When they need to be eaten, they are taken out and watered, and fungal spores can grow.
This kind of wood chip block is also called "Jingkuai" because "Jingkuai" will grow "Jingzi".
As for the edible fungus spores mixed in the "Jingkuai", it was discovered by the people of the southwest who had "seen villains" (poisoned) many times and tested it out. This Shennong's behavior is worthy of praise. The so-called "Jingkuai" is homophonic to "Ji" in the southwestern dialect.
When Wei Keng heard that the mushrooms on the Jingkuai had a variety of amino acids and tasted very good, he couldn't help but saliva.
The system quickly reminded: No matter what kind of "Jingzi", it cannot be mixed cold.
Of course, Wei Keng knew very well that the energy density of edible fungi was very low. In addition, under the current productivity, there is a lack of salt in the city, and there is no onion, ginger and garlic. The mushrooms eaten by ordinary people are definitely not as delicious as they think.
As people who grew up in the industrial age, with abundant food and clothing materials, they may regard some foods that people of this era have eaten for a long time as delicacies, while people of this era may just want to boil lard and mix a bowl of rice with the fat that the ladies of the 21st century picked out and discarded in the cafeteria.
At noon, the two research groups each handed in a detailed report plan.
Wei Keng from the kitchen got more than 20 one-pound hairy crabs from the river, as well as three large black fish. According to the distribution system within the Wei Keng group, these things are currently given to me who is the brain.
Of course, the two groups only ate one-third of the crabs, especially the hairy crabs, which only ate the first bite and were not full. So they called Wei Keng from the physical work group, lined up according to the importance of the work, and divided them up.
Eat mushrooms, not cold, and I don't eat mushrooms
