Chapter 174 Out of Stock?

If the power armor is the full body plate armor of the heavy cavalry, then the mechanical exoskeleton is the chain armor of the light infantry. Fastest chapter update

The total weight is less than 10kg, and the front polyethylene armor can defend against direct fire from 7-12 rounds of rifle bullets. If it's a rifle from the world, don't even think about piercing its armor.

After equipment, the maximum load of a single soldier will rise to 300 kg.

The power source is two fist-sized energy-concentrating batteries attached to the upper part of the pelvis. After a full charge, the wearer can be guaranteed to run for an hour with a 300kg weight at a speed of 12km/h, or continue to fight for 12 hours in a normal environment. After the power is exhausted, it can be charged through the solar charger, or it can be charged instantly through the sub-crystal.

It can be said that in addition to the aerospace technology that has not yet seen results, another major reason for Jiang Chen to recruit Jiang Lin is for the mechanical exoskeleton technology of the prosthetic leg boutique. Although he failed to inherit his father's career, he still learned some related techniques under the coercion of his father.

After personally experiencing the power of the K1-type mechanical exoskeleton, Jiang Chen immediately raised the question of whether the army could be deployed.

"Mass production for the army?" Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard Jiang Chen's question, and then a strange expression appeared on his face, "Do you know the cost and time of producing such a mechanical exoskeleton?"

"How much?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.

"According to the market price of the sixth block, the cost of this suit you are wearing now is about 900 sub-crystals. For 900 sub-crystals, you can buy a dozen slaves and give them a rifle. No matter what kind of super soldier, it is impossible. You can win more than a dozen guns." With a sigh, Jiang Lin gave Jiang Chen an economic account.

"But now the sixth block is no longer selling people."

Press it down on the metal sheet on the back of the neck. A slight electric current sounded, and Jiang Chen took off the mechanical exoskeleton he was wearing.

"The sixth block does not sell people, but other places sell it. For example, Suzhou City, where there is the largest slave market in Suzhou and Hangzhou, they will come to the sixth block next spring—" Jiang Lin tried to convince his boss.

"However, we can't wait until next spring." Jiang Chen smiled and shoved the mechanical exoskeleton into his hand. "When the snow melts next year, the mutants will march to Qingpu from Land No. 7. As the only survivor force here, we will bear the brunt of the pressure of the mutants."

Hearing this, Jiang Lin's face turned pale in an instant.

He had never heard of it, and if he had heard of it, he wouldn't dare to come to work here if he was beaten to death. The reason why he just wanted to convince the boss to give up mass production of mechanical exoskeletons.

It's just out of fear that his time to study rockets will be squeezed.

"Do you regret coming here?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Jiang Lin swallowed and spit, looked to the side ideally and said, "Don't dare."

"Don't be afraid, and your heart rate has already told me your regrets." Jiang Chen patted his shoulder with a smile, without accusing him of being timid. "It's normal to be afraid. Everyone is afraid of death. If you're afraid, then do as I say."

"I heard that the mutants on the seventh land use thousands." Jiang Lin said with difficulty.

"Three thousand to be exact, maybe a little more, but that's not something you need to worry about. The mechanical exoskeleton must be mass-produced. No matter how many sub-crystals you spend, you must get it for me by January next year. Come out 50 sets." Jiang Chen said in an unquestionable tone.

Even if a set of 900 sub-crystals, 50 sets are only 45,000 sub-crystals. The fish bone base is not bad for the money. The wealth accumulated in the early stage has come to be realized into combat power.

After swallowing again, Jiang Lin looked at the serious look in the boss's eyes and nodded with difficulty.

"I try...but I can't do it alone. I need helpers."

"As much as you want, just say."

"I think about it... 10 people are needed to build the metal skeleton by hand, 4 people are needed to solder the chips, 8 people are needed to draw the circuit, and the power system is modified... Roughly estimated, at least 40 workers are needed to Complete an assembly line. In this case, it should barely be able to complete 50 sets of mechanical exoskeletons by January next year." Jiang Lin said with a wry smile.

The total population of the base is just over 200, and everyone has a job. There is simply no way to get these 40 people out.

However, Jiang Chen's next words left him stunned.

"Give you 80. Can you double the output?"

"Yes, yes, but are there so many idlers in the base?" Jiang Lin couldn't help but say.

"You don't need to worry about this, it will be there right away. From now on, you only need to study how to design this production line, how to train your assistants, and what materials you need to purchase. The personnel will be in place in 5 days." Jiang Chen haha laughed.

There are not so many people at the Fishbone Base, but there are in Shenxiang Town.

More than seven hundred survivors were captured by mutants, and it was enough to bring them back.

As for whether they will obey?

In the wasteland, there is no essential difference between being rescued and being captured.

If they want to survive, they have to be obedient.

......

After leaving Jiang Lin's laboratory, Jiang Chen went to the community center and found Wang Qing, who was managing the warehouse at the base.

When Jiang Chen came to the office, this girl with freckles was checking the ledger of the warehouse as always. After seeing Jiang Chen, her eyes lit up, she immediately put down her work, got up and greeted her.

"I'm just here to check the base's supplies, don't be so nervous." Jiang Chen smiled gently and joked.

Wang Qing's face turned red in embarrassment. Pushing the glasses on the bridge of her nose, she took out the tablet terminal from the table and showed Jiang Chen the statistics.

The first is subcrystal.

After several trade accumulations, the sub-crystal stock in the fishbone base has reached a terrifying 790,000. Due to the addition of many production lines, the consumption of sub-crystals last month reached 30,000 sub-crystals. These include the purchase of raw materials, as well as the direct consumption of energy by industrial production.

Jiang Chen asked Wang Qing to set aside 50w of Yajing as working capital to acquire the shares of the upcoming Sixth Block Bank. The other 290,000 sub-crystals are used as production expenses, even if a mechanical exoskeleton production line is added. It's more than enough to last until January next year.

In addition, there is the ammunition reserve.

At present, there are 200,000 rounds of ammunition in the base, 60% of which are produced in the military factories in the base. Since obtaining the bullet production line of the Grey Gu mercenary group, the Fishbone Base has begun to develop in the direction of self-produced ammunition.

There is also a 5kg-quality bullet, which is the standard ammunition for the Type 50 electromagnetic gun. With 5 hunting tigers converted from trucks leaving the factory, the production capacity of the military factory also began to tilt towards the quality bomb. The current reserve is 200 rounds. It is being replenished at a production rate of fifty rounds per day.

Then there is the food supply.

After a period of consumption and a large amount of replenishment during the last return, the base has 8 tons of rice, 2 tons of potatoes, and a total of 5 tons of vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, carrots, and celery that are easy to preserve. 2 tons of pickled products such as sausages and bacon. Since Jiang Chen found out that buying canned food is cheaper than buying fresh food, the canteen at the Fishbone Base no longer provides canned food. All cans are for sale only, or to reward survivors with credit.

According to the algorithm of one kilogram of rice per person per day. These foods are more than enough to support 200 people for two years. Considering that more than 700 survivors will join immediately, the speed of food consumption is bound to accelerate. But even so, there is no problem in supporting this batch of grain for half a year.

"By the way, the base is going to add a new mechanical exoskeleton production line. Jiang Lin will send the purchase list in a while. You can send someone to the sixth block to purchase it."

"Yeah." Wang Qing nodded earnestly, and then wrote Jiang Chen's words on the tablet.

With the increase in the number of materials in the base, one warehouse manager is obviously not enough. After consulting Wang Qing, Jiang Chen added a logistics department to the administrative department of the base to manage warehouse materials, daily expenses, and trade-related matters. Originally, Sun Jiao's little girl was in charge of the trade, but she seemed to have a headache for these "trivial matters", so the job was left to the logistics department.

The head of the logistics department is naturally Wang Qing, and the number of people in the department has increased to five. Manage a total of 6 warehouses.

"Don't be so nervous." Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw the little girl taking notes seriously.

Although this little girl is a lot more mature than when she first came to the base, her blush-loving characteristics seem to have not changed at all.

"By the way. How's the pub opened by Zhou Guoping in the sixth block?"

After regaining her previous composure, Wang Qing pushed her glasses and said seriously. "Consumed 4,000 cans of beer in October, with a total profit of 40,000 sub-crystals."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded.

He didn't care about the profitability of the tavern, what he cared about was how much useful information Zhou Guoping could bring to him with the flow of people in the tavern. Anyway, those beers are only three or five dollars a can in the world. Not worth the money at all.

Of course, mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are. This income is also good.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Seeing that Jiang Chen seemed to be in a good mood, Wang Qing hesitated. opened his mouth.

"Um?"

"The raw material for plastics for the base to produce automatic rifles and hummingbird drones, that is, cam resin...is out of stock."

"Out of stock?" Jiang Chen was stunned, frowning slightly.

This is a big problem.

The threat of mutants is imminent, and the military factory at the fishbone base is almost on the ground in shifts to produce arms supplies, but now the cam resin is out of stock?

"The plantation that originally supplied us with Kamu resin terminated the contract and paid us a penalty of 1,000 sub-crystals." Wang Qing said helplessly.

"reason?"

"With the increase in the industrial volume in the sixth block, the price of kalm resin increased by 20%, which was significantly higher than the price when we signed the contract. In addition, other companies signed large long-term orders with them, so they Shamelessly terminated the contract suddenly." Wang Qing said angrily.

"How much is the stock of Kam resin in the base now?" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"There are 2 tons left, enough to maintain the production of the base for a month."

"Well, I will solve this matter." Jiang Chen nodded.

Since the sixth block can't supply it, the fish bone base can produce it by itself.
