Qilu Starry Sky

Chapter 19 Waiting for the battle
In front of Wang Yufei were two whole casting lines. They were originally used to cast mechanical parts and could produce seven different types of parts at the same time. However, they were small equipment and could not cast large parts.

But there are some things that must be solved from scratch first. It is somewhat unrealistic to build a Land Dominator tank right from the start, so Wang Yufei’s idea is to use these two production lines to build guns first.

And it is the most primitive gunpowder kinetic energy gun. Not to mention the low technical content, sometimes the most suitable product has stronger adaptability and praise rate than the best product. Anyway, as far as fighting is concerned, gunpowder weapons are sufficient in the atmosphere. , and we don’t expect it to destroy cities or attack armored equipment. The killing effect on personnel is not much worse than that of electromagnetic weapons and laser weapons. Instead, it has the advantages of easy maintenance and high versatility, coupled with low cost of manufacturing Simple is naturally the best choice in the current situation.

After the transformation of these two pieces of equipment is completed, the daily production capacity is about two hundred standard weapons. However, if metal bullets are used, the material consumption will be relatively large, which is a headache. Now we can't find a suitable and reliable one. source of materials.

Wang Yufei's plan was to have two production lines, one to produce militia equipment and one to produce automatic turrets. He roughly calculated that if he wanted to cover the entire small village, it would cost a total of about 750. A small automatic fort can be installed to buy the people here time to escape even if something goes wrong.

Each of these 750 automatic turrets requires about [-] rounds of shells. Even if one shell is only [-] mm, this does not add up to a small number.

So materials have become an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

"Sister Hong." Wang Yufei was squatting on the ground while renovating the assembly line. He raised his head and asked Sister Hong, who was helping to tighten the screws next to him: "We need a lot of metal materials now. Where can we get them quickly? It's not that easy." Attractive.”

Sister Hong wiped her face with the back of her hand, but there was still a black mark on her face. She stood up, and her clothes were soaked with sweat. The cave was already humid, and now with the two The smelting furnace was even more stuffy and hot, making it difficult to breathe.

This makes Sister Hong have to admire Wang Yufei. He lives here for a month and works here unless necessary. He has never complained about such a difficult environment. No wonder he has such spirit and will. You can become such a powerful engineer.

"I'm really not sure about this. I might need to ask Zhuang Yan about this."

"Well, don't ask that profiteer about this."

Wang Yufei's head hurts when he mentions Zhuang Yan now. That profiteer is really terrible. The moisture in the raw materials itself is very deep, and there is no way to obtain it from regular official channels, so if he takes the route of that black intermediary, he is sure The little money Sister Hong had was not enough to put her teeth between her teeth.

"I have an idea."

At this time, 2πr suddenly spoke. He sat back with a recovery lunch in his hand: "In this situation, it is actually very difficult to simply order materials. First of all, import and export controls will be very strict, and now almost all The minerals are all in the stage of sealing and inventorying, and the minerals have to be counted and used as compensation to the aliens. So now the price of raw materials on the market has skyrocketed, and the industry has almost been abandoned. But there is one place that is not subject to any restrictions."

"Don't be so pretentious, just tell me." Wang Yufei yelled, "It's really annoying when you intellectuals talk."

2πr smiled and said: "Don't worry. There are major weapons dismantling sites. As the defeated side, the Earth Federation needs to dismantle a large number of weapons, including three starships being maintained at the port. These dismantling works may last ten years, and The plates used in these weapons cannot be used by ordinary processing plants, so there is almost no demand for them. However, this problem is not a particularly big problem here. It only needs multi-catalysis twice before it can be reused, and these plates They will all be the best raw materials in the world, and we don’t even need to build separate ore and metal refineries in the early stage.”

Wang Yufei was immediately enlightened when he heard this: "And the prices of these things are very cheap, they are all the price of scrap metal!"

"Not only the price of scrap iron, but if you are willing to pay a little more to give the people at the disassembly plant a little bonus, they may secretly give us some complete parts." 2πr took a sip of the drink, leaned on the chair and said: " I checked and found that the nearest disassembly factory is only 120 kilometers away from us, which is responsible for dismantling space station and space base supplies, as well as some scattered small space war machines. We can go there to try our luck."

Really, if we can eat that dismantling factory, we really don’t have to worry about future materials. The alien Taijun prohibits earthlings from getting involved in all extra-atmospheric technology. Even the communication satellites are arranged with the help of the alien Taijun. Okay, so as long as you eat this line in the future, you don’t even have to worry about many things.

So Wang Yufei immediately told Sister Hong about this idea, but Sister Hong was still a little hesitant. She said, "But they are soldiers and we are thieves. Will they do business with us?"

"In troubled times, we are all traitors to the country." Wang Yufei sat on the chair and picked up the water glass with oily hands and took a sip: "The center of the imperial court is okay, but the local government may not be able to afford it anymore. If they want the city to operate normally, they They don’t care who is a soldier and who is a thief, as long as they give money, it’s easy.” Wang Yufei is actually right. Why do local governments acquiesce or even dominate the existence of such a thing as the black market? To put it bluntly, it is the court’s control of local governments The control of the government has weakened, and with the warlords all around, the court is powerless, and the treasury has long been empty, with not even a hair in it, let alone paying wages to local officials. Without wages, there is no control. These local governments will gradually form small courts one by one, and they will be responsible for their own profits and losses.

In this process, they are really willing to sell anything for money. As long as they have money, they don't care about the super rebels on the list, let alone rural guerrillas like Sister Hong.

"Then when are we going to take a look?"

"Wait for a while, at least until Zhuang Yan pays us the balance."

Now let’s talk about Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan is always paying attention to the developments of the northwest warlords. I heard that the imperial court started bombing their second city yesterday, and she doesn’t know what is happening to her treasure now.

In fact, not only Zhuang Yan, but also the frontline generals of the northwest warlords were also murmuring in their hearts. The imperial court had begun the second round of encirclement and suppression against them. Although the imperial court had not been very good in recent years, in the end, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Local warlords like them are still very threatening. Even though the imperial court no longer has the capability of deep space warfare, it is still very fierce in the atmosphere. The resistance army has been suppressed from the front line to their second largest force. The city of Zhuler, and just today, they are about to face a large-scale air raid by the imperial court.

The northwest warlords' ability to resist on the ground is still very strong, but they have no air supremacy at all. This has led to their current overall situation being very bad. The imperial planes can ride on their heads unscrupulously and shit, but now they can only give up hope. Place your trust in this unidentified anti-aircraft gun truck.

The commander at the other end of the court at the moment was Hou Zhenbang, the imperial general who conquered the West. He was sitting in the temporary headquarters with his eyes closed and relaxing. This was his most leisurely moment before the ground troops entered the conflict area.

The northwest rebels are not the strongest or the weakest among the many rebels, but they are the richest. The purpose of the imperial court's counterinsurgency in the northwest is just for the little money they have. As long as they can eat the northwest warlords Next, many problems on the court's side can be temporarily alleviated.

Two groups of bombers were dispatched this time. The purpose was to blast all the rebels in the target city into the sky, eliminate their effective forces as much as possible, and then facilitate the advancement of ground troops.

This mission is extremely simple and does not even require fighter escort, because the northwest rebels do not have any air power at all, and even the poor air defense equipment cannot even touch the butt of a [-]-meter bomber.

Hou Zhenbang was listening to the new album of a famous artist from the capital, enjoying the rare leisurely time with his eyes closed, while the maid gently kneaded his legs and feet, not paying attention to the rough guys from the northwest at all.

The frontline general of the northwest warlords was actually a former Han general named Zhong Kaixuan.My ancestor once served as the governor of Liangjiang, but because he was a Han general, he was not taken seriously by the court. Later, because of a small mistake, he was demoted again and again and was sent to the desert of the northwest. Later, he married here. A wife and a son. After the imperial court was defeated, the northwest region was unable to pay the taxes and fees required by the imperial court, so the feudal officials here directly rebelled. Zhong Kaixuan naturally followed his father-in-law and rebelled against mediocrity and ignorance. of the imperial court.

But the current situation is really not good. If the court moves forward, and if there are no accidents, the Jiu Clan will be waiting for them, and now their only hope is this unknown anti-aircraft vehicle.

"General, there is news from the radar camp that the imperial bombers are coming. They didn't even launch counter-detection, they just rushed over. They are already 170 kilometers away from us."

"The anti-aircraft vehicle is on."

Zhong Kaixuan took a deep breath and then issued the order: "Get ready to engage the enemy!"

The soldiers in the anti-aircraft vehicle obeyed the order to turn on the vehicle, and then switched to station mode.The weapon systems on both sides of the car slowly stretched out, and the laser tower above the head also stood up. The enemy planes on the radar were like snowflakes, which made people's scalp numb...
