Chapter 216 Where to Go

On the other side, Captain Lu and others were not far from Xincheng.

In the base

There was peace.

But in this peace, Li Yu was also thinking about how the base should develop in the future.

In this doomsday, being weak is the original sin, and being strong is the hard truth.

No one will talk to you about morality, rule of law, and relationships. Only if your fists are strong enough can you have confidence.

The connections, power, and money before the end of the world have become useless at this moment.

The communication between people has become more realistic, a little cold, but the dialogue is very efficient.

No one talks about ideals and freedom, no one talks about dreams and the future, because in this doomsday, it is a blessing to be able to live to tomorrow and have a full meal.

There are now 70 people in the base, and there are more than 60 people who can fight, both men and women.

This number has roughly reached the scale expected by Li Yu.

He had also thought about expanding the number of people, but before his rebirth, he had seen too many large gathering places, because of food problems, internal conflicts broke out in the end, and management was extremely difficult, and finally fell apart.

In the fifth year before his rebirth, there were basically few large gathering places because they could not afford to support them.

Under the dual threats of natural disasters and zombies, there were all kinds of uncertainties.

He had personally experienced a gathering place that seemed extremely powerful, with tens of thousands of people!

But because of a blizzard, the crops froze to death under the freezing, followed by heavy rain and zombie tides.

Food crisis, too many people inside, extremely difficult to manage, different people's hearts, and finally, it collapsed!

When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs be intact?

That time, he almost died.

Later, he did not join a large gathering place, because a large gathering place, although it means more powerful, but it also means that if there is a problem, but it cannot be solved, it will be more tragic.

However.

If the base is not expanded, it also means that the number of people is small. Maybe with the advantage of the first mover advantage, some guns will be snatched, but the bullets will run out after all. It is not a long-term solution.

However, if the scale of the group is to be expanded, it also faces a biggest problem: food!

He also thought about forming a strong team, recruiting talents, building factories, and developing technology. But to do these things, people are needed, and these people need to be found.

This is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Let's take the simplest example. To make firearms and bullets, the bullets alone are enough.

The manufacture of bullets is stamping, which requires a large number of molds. The specific dimensions of the molds are confidential, and generally speaking, workshops do not have such conditions. If you want to make bullets yourself, you must overcome the mold size control.

Let's talk about guns!

The structure of a firearm can be specifically disassembled into a buttstock, a gun case, a barrel, a magazine, a piston, a bolt, a firing pin, a sight, a front sight, a trigger, a receiver, a grip, a gun rod, a recoil spring, a piston cylinder, a gas port, a trigger sear, a bullet in the chamber, a muzzle brake, a magazine card, and a safety sear!

Among them, the most difficult part is the "gun barrel"!

As an important component of a firearm, the gun barrel goes straight through the chamber.

On the battlefield, when a bullet is fired, the expanding gas generated by the explosion of gunpowder or air pressure will push the bullet through the barrel, becoming a high-speed projectile that ultimately strikes the enemy.

If the high-energy bullet cannot slide out of the barrel smoothly after pulling the trigger, it will cause "barrel explosion", which is potentially fatal!

In order to ensure good hardenability, hardenability and processing performance, the material grain size must reach level 4-6 and the organization must be uniform!

After solving the material problem, you still need to face the fine and rigorous manufacturing process test of the barrel! Not only do you need to consider a lot of details such as the firing pin and the linkage fit point, but you also have to pull out fine rifling on the inner wall of the barrel, which is already very thin.

The rifling can be said to be the soul of the barrel! Because it is it that gives the bullet rotation force, so that after the bullet leaves the barrel, it can still maintain the established direction and hit the target!

If you just make some simple ones, it will also require a lot of processes. Before the end of the world, you may be able to assemble them by purchasing some parts.

But now in the end of the world, it is a wasteland, there are no complete parts, and you can only make them yourself. It's too difficult.

To make these things, you must have professional talents, and the number of people will inevitably increase.

Only when the scale is presented can you support it and do this. Some people are needed for protection, some people for planting crops, and some people for scientific research and production.

But it fell into a vicious circle again.

Too many people - natural disasters, zombie tides, various accidents, insufficient food, easy to cause collapse.

Too few people - unable to form a scale effect, few talents, not enough strength to resist.

Whether there are many or few people, it seems that they will eventually go to extinction.

This doomsday is too unfriendly to humans.

This doomsday is not just as simple as zombies, and the only advantage he has is the skill of rebirth, which brings the prophetic advantage.

There are no superpowers, no systems, but he is fierce enough!

Kill to stop killing! Killing!

However, as time goes by, not only he is cruel enough, but also the people who survived are all cruel characters.

This problem still bothers Li Yu.

Originally, he did not want too many people at the beginning, but later he planted farmland in the base and found that it could support more people, so he took in more people later.

These people were allowed to join after many inspections.

After the current contact, these people who joined still satisfied Li Yu.

Standing on the wall of the base, looking at the distant mountains, Li Yu felt that the heat was gradually getting less.

A breeze blew over, and Li Yu heard footsteps beside him.

It was the second uncle.

The second uncle glanced at him, then stood beside him, and neither of them spoke.

He lit a cigarette.

After taking a puff, he let the wind blow the smoke for a while.

The second uncle said: "Xiao Yu, sometimes you can share your thoughts or concerns with us, don't keep them to yourself."

Li Yu nodded silently, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "The base must have been exposed now. I have no regrets for killing people, but I have always been worried about the development of the base. With more people, management is bound to be difficult, and food has become the biggest problem. But with fewer people, it is also difficult to survive in this doomsday."

The second uncle pondered for a while and said directly: "What's there to worry about? Then carefully select partners and control a certain number of people. Isn't it okay within a range that we can bear?"

When Li Yu heard these words, he felt like the fog had been cleared. The person in charge was confused, and the problem that he was always entangled with seemed not to be a big problem after the second uncle said it.

Yes! Since it is difficult to manage a large number of people and can't afford to support them, then carefully select useful people and let them join, isn't it okay?
