Chapter 779 Mass Production
Wang Tao personally tested this simple power armor.
Although compared with the power armor of the previous life, this power armor is far inferior to the maneuverability, defense, or battery life. But it was just the original prototype and has not been mass-produced yet. It's already very good to have this effect!
"very nice!"
Wang Tao walked out of the power armor and then put forward some targeted suggestions based on his driving experience in his previous life.
The main problem now is that the power is not good. Although the crystal nucleus is used as energy, the energy of the first-order crystal nucleus can only be extracted at present. There is still some loss during the extraction process, so the effect is natural and average.
If you extract third-level or even fourth-level crystal cores, then this power armor will be really done.
Of course, this power armor can be used now. After all, it is an iron lump, and the human body cannot compare with it, and it is even stronger than some superpowers.
"Mr. Wang, judging from the current research progress, I think we can make a mass-produced version of power armor at most two weeks or as little as one week!"
Luo Xing spoke excitedly.
He didn't expect that the design that only exists in his mind would really come to reality. The surprise came too suddenly, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
"I'm looking forward to it! Come on!"
Wang Tao patted Luo Xing's shoulder with a smile.
At this time, Luo Xing frowned again and said:
"But there is one problem. We currently have two development ideas. One is to focus on quantity. The mass-produced version of the power armor may be very similar to the current prototype, both of which look relatively simple. This advantage is that it can be widely popularized on a large scale. , but the individual combat power is relatively average. The other is to focus on quality, and the combat power of power armor will reach the third or even fourth level! But such power armor cannot be popularized on a large scale, at least based on the current situation , there is no way to popularize..."
"Can't you want both?"
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
The power armor of the previous life took the elite route, focusing on quality, strong individual combat effectiveness, but not high output. But since you have lived for a lifetime, can't you want them all?
"Uh, in theory, you can all do it, but the problem is that we don't have enough manpower. After all, others have other research tasks to complete. If we develop these two routes at the same time, we may not be able to create either in a short period of time. ""
Luo Xing naturally wanted to have everything, but his strength did not allow it. After all, this is scientific research, and it cannot be done with just talking.
"So there are not enough people, so it's easy to say! I'll help you find some people in the next two days!"
Wang Tao immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was just a lack of manpower, not a technical issue.
He doesn't understand the technology, but there is no problem with manpower. He is going to save people himself. Whether in this life or the previous life, he knew the addresses of many research institutions. Although there must be some fallen, it is impossible that they will all fallen. As long as these people are brought over, there is no need to worry about insufficient staff.
He had saved many scientific researchers before, but they were all closer to the Changhe Base, and those a little farther away had not had time to save them.
"Huh~ That's good, as long as you know it! Then we start both solutions at the same time? I'll leave the manpower problem to you!"
Luo Xing spoke with some excitement.
"Okay, you guys go and do it."
Wang Tao nodded.
After Luo Xing left with the power armor prototype, Wang Tao immediately went to the city hall, checked the relevant information, compared it with his memories of his previous life, and found places where scientific researchers were most likely to survive.
After spending some time, Wang marked many locations on the map, and then took the golden eagle, lightning and snow to fly out of the Long River Base.
Now there are no fifth-level zombies, and he can't save the fifth-level crystal core. The blood volume provided by the blood beads has reached the upper limit... Wang Tao's current strength is basically unable to improve, so it's better to take advantage of the large-scale appearance of the fifth-level zombies , go and save some people and come back.
The place Wang Tao went this time was far away from the Changhe Base, but with the Golden Eagle there, you don’t have to worry about the endurance issue, just go there.
So, in the next few days, Wang Tao almost became the busiest person in the entire base.
Someone who is accused of recording the number of times the golden eagle appears. At the most, you can see the golden eagle fly back six times in one day!
This means that Wang Tao has rescued six batches of survivors, and they are all talented in scientific research. I hope the institute is ready to start expansion!
Because Wang Tao went to many scientific research institutions in order to find the ancestor virus in his previous life, he subconsciously went to these familiar places in this life, and really rescued many people. Many of these survivors have studied the ancestor virus. , so they can provide a lot of help in making serum for Qu Shilin!
Even though I got the zombie virus serum formula from my previous life, due to different timelines and different evolutionary speeds of zombie viruses, the serum suitable for people today can not be produced in a short time.
But with the addition of these people, not only has the research progress of crystal energy extraction and power armor accelerated, but also has accelerated the progress of research on serum. According to Qu Shilin, the zombie virus serum can be produced in just one month at the latest!
It’s not the kind of vaccine that prevents in advance and has time-efficient vaccines, but the serum that can truly remove zombie viruses!
Even though Wang Tao has seen a lot of storms, he is still a little excited to hear this news. After all, it took nearly two years to create the zombie virus serum in the last life, and now, it is less than two months away from the end of the world!
Many people did die in the end of the world, and most of them died when the zombie virus broke out. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, many people still survived tenaciously. However, as time went on, these people slowly died in the mouths of zombies. In the end, there were only a few super-large bases with living people.
In other words, there are still many survivors in the world now!
If they can get the zombie virus serum, not to mention the end of the world, at least the probability of survival can be increased several times! With this increase and decrease, humans really have a chance to counterattack the end of the world!
"Good, good, good!"
Wang Tao felt that his hard work was not in vain. He asked Qu Shilin, Luo Xing and others to concentrate on research, and he continued to go out to find trapped scientific researchers. His goal this time is no longer just the western region, but the entire country. As long as there is talent, he will not let it go.
Just when Wang Tao brought a group of scientific researchers back to Changhe Base, Luo Xing, who had been waiting for him for a long time, ran over excitedly.
"Mr. Wang, the mass-produced version of the power armor has been manufactured! There are two models in total. Please come and give me some guidance!"
"So fast!"
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
But if you calculate the time, it seems to be about the same. Last time, Luo Xing said that if he had one to two weeks, he would be able to manufacture a mass-produced version of the power armor. Now it seems that a week has passed since he said this.
Wang Tao and Luo Xing came to the test site, and Ding Yuqin, Wei Zhenguo, Bai Hao, Gu Yun and others were there. After all, this is a mass-produced version of the power armor. If there is no problem with the test, the overall strength of the Changhe Base will definitely increase several times!
When everyone saw Wang Tao, they simply greeted him, and then they all focused their attention on the two power armors, one large and one small, in the center of the site.
The first power armor looks relatively simple, similar to the previous prototype, but the prototype is like a large mechanical exoskeleton, and although this machine is a little thin, it is indeed more like a power armor.
"This A-series power armor may not have such outstanding individual combat power, but its manufacturing cost is very low and can be mass-produced! Of course, this "not so outstanding" is compared with another power armor. In fact, its combat power is not weak, at least not weaker than most superpowers..."
While introducing, Luo Xing opened the hatch and got in himself.
Buzz——
The power armor vibrated, its eyes glowed blue, and it was activated instantly. Then Luo Xing began to perform.
Compared with the previous prototype, it gave Wang Tao the biggest feeling of flexibility. Although it is a lump of iron, its flexibility is not inferior to many humans. In addition to its characteristics of being fully armored, carrying weapons, and using crystal core energy, Luo Xing, an ordinary person, showed combat power that was no less than that of a second-level superpower after wearing it!
If a battle-hardened soldier or a professionally trained person were to drive it, it would not be a problem to reach the combat effectiveness of a third-level mutant!
Although the combat effectiveness of a third-level mutant does not sound high, after all, Wang Tao is already at the fifth level, and fourth-level zombies are not uncommon now. But you have to know that the manufacturing cost of this type of power armor is very low and can be mass-produced! The power armor in the previous life could not be mass-produced!
Clap clap clap——
Everyone applauded.
This effect has obviously exceeded many people's psychological expectations, especially its manufacturing cost is surprising. There are many soldiers in the Changhe base. If every soldier can wear this, then the end of the world does not seem so scary!
Luo Xing was naturally very excited to receive everyone's affirmation, but he did not get carried away. He still talked about the shortcomings of this A-series power armor, such as endurance and explosive power, but in terms of the two advantages of low cost and large-scale mass production, these shortcomings are not a problem.
After introducing this A-series power armor, Luo Xing came to the second larger power armor and introduced it with excitement:
"This is a T-series power armor. Unlike the A-series, its manufacturing cost is very high and it will be difficult to mass-produce it. It can only be mass-produced on a small scale for the time being, but its combat effectiveness is much stronger than the A-series! Ordinary people can easily have the combat effectiveness of the third level when wearing it. If a superpower with good physical fitness wears it, they can even have the combat effectiveness of the fourth level!"
"Fourth-level combat effectiveness!"
Although this result was expected a long time ago, when Luo Xing said it himself, everyone was still a little dazed.
You must know that at present, in the entire Changhe base, not counting Wang Tao, only those around Wang Tao have been promoted to the fourth level, and they have been promoted in the past two days, and they have all received Wang Tao's help, otherwise it would not be possible to be promoted so quickly.
Except for Wang Tao and his group, the other strongest people are only at the third level.
And this power armor can directly give people the combat effectiveness of the fourth level, how can it not make people excited? After all, the difference between the fourth level and the third level is not just the difference between the first level, but the difference between the awakened and the superpowered!
Luo Xing opened the hatch and went in to demonstrate it himself.
Compared with the A series power armor just now, this T series power armor is larger and looks more cumbersome, but in fact it is more flexible and more like a human!
And its speed, power, defense, endurance and other data are all in all aspects to beat the A series power armor. Although the combat level displayed by Luo Xing, an ordinary person, is not at the fourth level, it is definitely the top level of the third level.
Others couldn't help it. After Luo Xing finished the test, many people tried it. They are superpowers themselves, with strong physical fitness, and can fully exert the potential of power armor.
However, unlike humans who will gain an awakening ability after being promoted to the fourth level, the fourth level combat power displayed by this T series power armor is actually not much different from the third level combat power. It is nothing more than faster speed, greater power, and faster reaction, just like a fourth-level system awakener!
"But it also has disadvantages. In addition to the high cost and difficulty in large-scale mass production, its consumption is also relatively large, much larger than the A series..."
Speaking of this, Luo Xing scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
He naturally wanted to make energy-saving power armor, but there was no way at present. In order to obtain strong combat power, in addition to materials and design, energy is also a top priority. As long as the power armor and the operator can bear it, then try to provide as much energy as possible, and what we want is a miracle with great effort!
For example, although the first and second order crystal cores can activate this T series power armor, if it is used for combat, at least the third order crystal core is required, and the fourth order crystal core is better. This kind of consumption, even if ordinary people have T series power armor, they can't afford it...
But this is not a problem for Changhe Base. After all, the T series cannot be mass-produced for the time being, and Changhe Base can still afford it if it is only produced on a small scale.
"Well done, you will be credited with the first merit this time!"
Wang Tao smiled and patted Luo Xing on the shoulder.
"This is not my own credit, but the result of everyone's joint efforts! Everyone is indispensable!"
Luo Xing waved his hands repeatedly. He was very satisfied that he could make what he imagined. As for the credit, he didn't care much, because he knew that Changhe Base would never treat him unfairly.
Wang Tao smiled and didn't say much. They all had merits, and Changhe Base would naturally not neglect them.
After the test, Wang Tao and others confirmed that there was no problem with the two power armors and they could be put into mass production.
The production lines in the base were started one after another, and one after another sci-fi power armors appeared in front of countless survivors.
