Chapter 82 Design
Tang Lujin laughed and said, "This is too simple. I think we can also install a temperature control device inside the combat uniform to increase comfort, design the helmet to cover it all, and add a neck guard to cover Tangning tightly. "

"Oh, by the way, and memory alloy gloves with finger guards on the back of the hands."

"However, with this set up, the weight of the personnel will increase by [-] kilograms."

"It's easy." Tangning said, "Weight training can solve this problem."

"That's it." Zhang Qiuyi added this, "Tangning, where are you?"

"I am here to strengthen the security of the base, including the establishment of the outer wall, the establishment of the optical network of the power grid, the layout of the light mine belt, and one very important thing, which is the establishment of a safe passage from the base to the expressway."

"Fortunately, we have two high-level mutant beast comrades in arms, with the support of the city-level Skynet, which can prevent sudden changes."

"The next step is to set up a bridgehead. I think the high-tech zone opposite the Han'an Bridge is good. By the way, a batch of production workshops can be restored to serve the base."

"Afterwards, gradually expand the scope of cleanup and expand the safety zone as much as possible. The rest is to protect the scientific research team and complete the scientific investigation."

"This work is long-term, and I can't spare manpower for the time being. Therefore, if the scientific research team needs an armed inspection, it must be postponed until at least two weeks later. At least the preliminary work must be completed. How about we go outside?"

Zhang Qiuyi glanced at everyone and saw that there was no objection from everyone: "That means I agree. Is there anything else?"

Tang Ning said, "I would like to mention one more thing. In the original plan, the logistics work of the base was provided by the automatic support vehicles in Shudu, but I think there are risks in this."

"How to say?"

"The base is 180 kilometers away from the capital of Shu, and the middle passes through the Longquan Mountains, the deserted town of Jianzhou, Zizhou, and the deserted town of Panshi. There are too many variables."

"I think we should establish our own logistics base, and strive to be able to use local resources to be self-sufficient, at least, as an important supplement to the supply of the capital of Shu."

"This...isn't necessary?" Zheng Hui didn't know the significance of Tangning's actions, "180 kilometers, isn't it a two-hour journey by automatic car? Rather than spending a lot of energy on this, it's better to ensure that the roads are smooth."

Mu Dong also didn't understand: "We are a scientific research unit, and our manpower is limited. We can only ensure that the scientific research work is completed first. Tangning's suggestion is actually very good, but it is just icing on the cake. Let's talk about it later when we have enough manpower."

Many of you here don't know about Tangning's background or what he went through when he was living alone in the hydropower station, but Zhang Qiuyi and Tang Lujin knew about it, so they were not surprised that he made such a suggestion.

But before they spoke, the eldest brother Hai Yun spoke first: "I think Xiao Tang's suggestion is worth considering."

"Tell everyone a story and experience it yourself."

"During the seventh year of Datong, my supervisor and I were doing research in Huanglongxi, a barren town at that time."

"You should know what happened in the seventh year of Datong. At that time, the Academy of Sciences and the military got closer. After the relationship between the military and the Ministry of the Interior became tense, our supplies were cut off."

"In addition to the public opinion at that time, the residents of the deserted town also refused to help us. In the end, our team consisted of seven people, forcing the instructor to give up the research and prepare to go back to Shudu."

"On a journey of forty kilometers, there were only two people who finally returned to the settlement."

"The rest, including the instructor, totaled six, only three were bitten to death by undead people, and the other three died in a residential building on the outskirts of the city."

"There was a nice housewife in that building, with a baby, who was spotless, entertained the rest of us, gave us broth and boiled water, and said he was going to bathe us."

"Everyone said it was not easy to meet kind people, so we discussed it and decided that a colleague and I would go out to find something to eat for the mother and son."

"Not long after we went out, we felt dizzy. When we walked to an abandoned shed, we couldn't bear it anymore. We hid in and slept for a while."

"We didn't feel good after waking up. By the time we rushed back...three colleagues had been killed...soaked in the hot water."

Young people are all creepy. Although there are various horror stories about Datong seven years ago in the settlement, the effect is different when they are told by those who have experienced it.

Hai Yun shook his head: "To put it bluntly, they are all hungry, so I am very supportive of the current council. The value of our scientific researchers can only be reflected to the greatest extent in today's stable environment."

Everyone sighed together for a while, before Hai Yun said: "So I also support Xiaotang's decision, even if he can't rely on himself, at least get enough reserves first, those days back then... Sigh!"

Hai Yun's words changed everyone's opinion. Tangning said, "Principal Wang said before coming here that after the first batch of support, the follow-up will mostly depend on us."

"If the base only consumes and does not contribute, it is not a long-term solution, and it will be more difficult for the director. He will not be able to stand up and speak hard to the Ministry of the Interior and the military."

"Why do we come to Han'an? Isn't it because we hope to have a place where we can let our hands and feet go? Even if the high-level game behind it doesn't talk about it, just say that we can live a better life in the base, I think it is necessary of."

"As for manpower, I've also thought about it. We have a neighbor like the Third Field Division. They have people in Zizhou. We have resources, so there is a basis for cooperation."

"Before coming here, I had a brief exchange with Mr. Duan. I promised him that our base can provide technology to help him repair several photovoltaic power plants. We can also search for the remaining resources in Han'an City and get what we need together."

"Of course we can't ask for nothing in return, because the basis of mutual trust is mutual need. So I wonder if we can implement this matter and make the relationship with neighbors more harmonious by the way."

"If you don't have any comments, I'll contact Mr. Duan. The main reason is to increase the security capabilities of the base and be prepared. I assure you that we will not delay scientific research in this matter."

Zhang Qiuyi admired Tangning's thoughtfulness and thoroughness. In name, she was the person in charge of the base, but without Tangning, it would have been impossible for her to come here, let alone Dean Wang.

After eating the meal Tangning invited, Zhang Qiuyi developed an inexplicable feeling for Tangning...I don't know what it is, but she finally defined it as a sense of trust.

After making up her mind, Zhang Qiuyi said, "Okay, let's do it this way. I'll send the resolution of this meeting to the Academy of Sciences. Let's go to work. Tangning, please stay."

After everyone dispersed, Zhang Qiuyi said to Tangning, "Are you practicing extra at night?"

"You know this as well?"

Zhang Qiuyi said: "Don't forget that you are an experimenter, and I am the director of the medical center. I can see the physical parameters recorded in your personal window every day here."

"I saw several times that your parameters were on the verge of danger, but luckily you adjusted quickly."

"You were trying to test the peak of your super sense, right? How could you make fun of your own life like this? Do you know your value to the colony now?!"

"Now Han'an City Skynet is in your hands, only you can play the best role as a Pluto warrior, what else can you do without the base?"

"You must promise me that you will not make that dangerous attempt again."

"Dad, Sister Zhang cares about you very much!" Xiaozhi's voice sounded in his head.

"Yes, I promise you." Zhang Qiuyi has a serious personality, so she had to give her a clear answer when she said this. Tangning didn't hesitate, "Thank you for your concern."

"Aren't you perfunctory with me?"

"No."

Zhang Qiuyi turned her head and continued to work on the window: "Alright then, let's do it this way."

"Well, then I'm going to work."

"Dad, Dad! Sister Zhang is peeping at you!"

Tangning walked to the door of the main control room, Xiaozhi's voice sounded again.

In fact, Tangning had already spotted Zhang Qiuyi's actions through the mirror-like metal door frame, but he pretended not to notice, and ignored Xiaozhi's words, opened the door and walked out.

After entering the elevator, Tangning said, "Xiaozhi, have you completed the design of the city wall of the base? I think you're swollen and you're too busy, right?"

"Well, Xiaozhi has expanded. From 1 computing units to 150 million!" Xiaozhi only thought Tangning was complimenting him: "The plan has been designed, but the manpower is definitely not enough, and a big machine is needed."

Tangning shook her head and denied, "Until the armed personnel's combat uniforms are available, everyone can't go out easily...Xiao Zhi, if you, Miss Red Bird, are here, how good would it be?"

"?" Xiaozhi paused for a moment, "Why don't I design a drawing and show it to Sister Tang? I learned a lot from Miss Hongniao."

"Really? Then let me have a look."

After returning from work in the afternoon, Tangning got the design drawings, so she went to find Tang Lujin again.

Tang Lujin was playing with a 3D printed shin guard shell with joints in his hand: "Brother Tangning came just in time, take a look at this design."

This is a part of the personal armor, which can protect the front of the tibia, but the knee is made into a spherical surface, which can also wrap the knee joint.

This spherical surface is divided into two layers, one layer is connected with the shin guard, and the other layer is integrated with the [-]cm frontal short guard above.

The short guard can be fastened to the thigh above the knee with an elastic strap.

Both sides of the two spherical surfaces are fixed together with rivets, which can slide in and out smoothly, which can complete the protection of the legs and knees without affecting the movement of the legs.

"Hey, this method is ingenious, simple and practical."

"And there's more..." Tang Lujin called up two more blueprints: "The front of the elbow and ankle can also be protected by this method."

Tangning called up her own blueprint: "Combined with the joint protection you designed, Xiaolutou, this blueprint is perfect."

Tang Lujin adjusted the drawings together: "Well, there are still two shoulder guards missing, which can be designed together with the neck guard."

Using both hands, Tang Lujin quickly modified the design of the neck guard, and then started 3D printing: "Type it out and try it out."

"Little Lutou..." Tangning was a little puzzled, "Why do I feel that your design and mine are originally one design and have been divided into two? How do they fit so perfectly?"

"Ah?" Tang Lujin was stunned for a moment, "Hahahaha, it's true... Is this called tacit cooperation?"

After finishing speaking, he ran away, "Brother Tangning, just watch over here, I'll go find the elastic..."

It took a long time to find the elastic band. With the help of Tang Lujin, Tang Ning fixed the printed guard plate sample on his body and made some tactical moves, and found that it was very ideal.

Combined with tactical helmets, goggles, mouth and nose shields, tactical gloves, and leather boots, the entire human body is basically under all-round protection, and the movement is still flexible.

Only the fossa of the elbow and the fossa of the posterior knee remain.

"Not bad!" Tang Ning and Tang Lujin clapped their hands and congratulated each other, "I won't sleep tonight! Let's make a set of samples by hand!"

"I'll cut the boards, prep the stove, and work on it in the evening!"

Zhang Qiuyi's voice rang out on the public channel: "Tangning, Lu Jin, what are you doing? Are you still coming down for dinner?"
