After hearing Guo Yun's words, Tang Zheng was shocked.
The arsenal drawing is completed!
This can reduce bullet costs.
The high cost of bullets has always been a worry for Tang Zheng, and the soldiers cannot use their full energy in battle.
Although more than a hundred rounds of ammunition per day are definitely enough under normal circumstances, it is enough to fight people, but it is not enough to fight zombies.
There are too many zombies in this world, often numbering in the hundreds of thousands or millions, and no amount of bullets is too many.
So after hearing Guo Yun's words, Tang Zheng took a plane back to Zhuguang City without even having time to see the corpses in Fengcheng.
When he returned to the city, it was already a brightly lit night. Tang Zheng landed directly in the inner city, where Guo Yun was already waiting.
Seeing Tang Zheng arrive, he immediately handed over a drawing as if it were a treasure.
"General, this is the blueprint of the arsenal. After you use it, the building options of the arsenal will be added to the system."
Tang Zheng didn't say much and immediately used the blueprint.
Sure enough, on the system's building page, there was an option for an arsenal.
[Arms Factory: The factory has three bullet production lines, which produce general-purpose bullets for pistols, general-purpose bullets for rifles and light machine guns, and general-purpose bullets for heavy machine guns and sniper rifles. It has artillery shell production lines, rocket launcher production lines, and landmine production lines. 】
[When producing bullets, copper supply can reduce capital costs by 60%, and gunpowder supply can reduce production costs by 30%. 】
[The arsenal has one hundred technical personnel, which does not occupy the army quota, but it does need to provide food and logistical support. The price is fifty thousand gold. 】
After seeing the introduction about the arsenal, Tang Zheng let out a long breath.
Finally, it finally solves the problem of bullet cost.
Now Tang Zheng's pistol bullets cost 0.1 gold per shot, and rifle and light machine gun bullets cost 0.2 gold per shot.
A 12.7mm bullet costs 0.4 gold per round.
This is also the reason why Tang Zheng's battle is too expensive. One shot of a machine gun is worth ten thousand taels of gold.
If enough copper and gunpowder are provided according to the conditions of the system, the cost of bullet production will be directly reduced by 90%.
Even if the purchase of gunpowder itself costs some money, it will reduce the cost by at least 85%.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of Tang Zheng's troops was greatly improved.
Like today's battle, it can be fought almost from morning to night, and the number of zombies annihilated is definitely more than 80,000.
It is possible to get up to 200,000 yuan, and the Peace Bridge can be penetrated in two days.
So even though Tang Zheng currently only had 80,000 gold, he did not hesitate to spend 50,000 to buy the arsenal.
A military important site like an arsenal would naturally be built in the inner city.
Tang Zheng has also planned the inner city area for a long time. Although he only has his official residence and wind power plant here, the basic roads and facilities have been completed.
Arriving at the address he had chosen long ago, Tang Zheng built an arsenal.
After the placement was completed, a factory area appeared.
There are a hundred staff here, so there is no need for Tang Zheng to send people into production.
The production lines, work workshops, storage warehouses, etc. are all here, the personnel are in place, and the electricity is connected, but there is no production because raw materials are needed.
Tang Zheng opened the system again and looked at the resource page.
Although copper has not been a priority purchase before, it is still an important material. Any survivor or adventurer team will bring it back, and Light Chaser City will accept it.
Therefore, Tang Zheng currently has more than 60 tons of copper as a material.
"First put these more than 60 tons to use, and then issue a copper acquisition task on the trading floor."
"Alright general, we are already doing this. Some adventurer teams have already left the city to find copper. We estimate that we will be able to bring some back within a day or two."
"Well, having copper reduces the cost of bullets by 60%, and then only gunpowder is needed."
Tang Zheng purchased another ten thousand gold worth of gunpowder from the system and gave it to the person in charge of the arsenal.
With the raw materials in hand, the arsenal started working overtime overnight.
Tang Zheng watched this process for a while.
The workers were very efficient. Two hours later, the first batch of 20 boxes of 1,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets had been produced.
"General, this bullet can be sent to the resource recycling station for storage, or it can be stored in reality. You can take it out at any time if you use the resource recycling station. In reality, soldiers must carry it."
Tang Zheng nodded: "Then put these in the recycling bin first, and just take them out when I need them."
"Okay General."
A truck came up and started loading bullets.
It was already late at night, and Tang Zheng couldn't rest yet. He let the plane take off again, taking advantage of the darkness and heading straight for Fengcheng.
By the time we arrived near Fengcheng, it was already dawn.
In the dawn light, Tang Zheng finally found the group of corpses.
The group of corpses seems to have grown a little bigger. The exact number is somewhat impossible to count, but it is definitely more than before.
Moreover, the corpse group had now left Fengcheng for more than a hundred kilometers and was heading north.
Looking down vaguely from the plane, Tang Zheng discovered the specific changes in the corpses.
That is, the number of mutant zombies in this group has greatly increased.
Although this zombie group was large before, the number of mutated zombies was only between 1% and 2%.
But things are different now. Looking down from a high place, mutated zombies can be seen almost everywhere.
Among the densely packed corpses, there are often some large armored zombies and very fast and agile zombies walking among them. Many of the mutant zombies have even evolved to a certain extent, showing signs of evolving to second-level mutations.
Among the entire zombie group, the proportion of mutated zombies exceeds 5%!
This is a very scary number. If there are one million zombies in this corpse group, the number of mutated zombies will exceed 50,000.
What's more, there are many near-mutated zombies inside. As the battle progresses, many of these things will definitely evolve again.
Moreover, Tang Zheng was still in the team and found a few orangutan zombies and lickers here and there.
Although the number of these two kinds of zombies is very small, the fact that they can be found in such a huge group of corpses proves that these two kinds of zombies are definitely not as simple as one or two.
As for the Corpse King, Tang Zheng has never discovered it. This thing is hidden deep and completely impossible to find.
After watching for a while, Tang Zheng ordered to return.
There won't be any surprises this time. The corpses are heading towards Light Chaser City, and they probably won't stop on the way.
This means that in five days, this terrifying group of corpses will arrive at Chasing Light City.
Before this group of corpses arrived, Tang Zheng still had a lot of things to do.
First of all, he must capture Shuanglin County as soon as possible and obtain funds from the gold store to prepare for war.
Also, he needs to settle matters on the Alliance's side. After all, the Alliance still occupies the south gate of Light Chaser City.
He didn't think about the situation in the alliance for the time being. First, he had to capture Shuanglin County.
After leaving Fengcheng, Tang Zheng, who had barely slept a wink all night, returned to the front line again.
Even if he took a plane, it would be the morning of the next day when he arrived in Shuanglin County again.
After a brief rest, the battle continues the next day.
This time the battle was even more intense compared to the first day.
Because the Light Chasing Army has an arsenal here, the arsenal worked overtime last night and produced a large amount of ammunition.
This immediately relieved Tang Zheng's financial pressure. Thanks to the availability of raw materials, Tang Zheng basically didn't spend a penny today and achieved better results than yesterday.
With sufficient ammunition, most of the soldiers have been upgraded to three stars. Today, from early morning to dusk, the battle lasted for twelve hours!
Compared to yesterday's record of annihilating 80,000 zombies, today they annihilated 180,000 in one fell swoop!
At the end of the battle, the zombie corpses almost blocked the river under the bridge, which forced Tang Zheng to end the battle and send flamethrower warriors to start burning zombie corpses in large numbers.
Thick black smoke burned for almost a night. Later, Tang Zheng simply had people pour gasoline on the body.
After a lot of trouble, the river finally resumed its flow.
This was the most strenuous day, but the results achieved were also significant. The number of corpses on the other side of the river had been significantly reduced.
Almost all the zombies in the area near the new city were attracted, and the remaining zombies were located further away.
The battle on the third day was much easier than the first and second days.
The soldiers took turns to fight and fought all morning. At noon, the ammunition was refreshed. Tang Zheng stopped the cannon bombardment and started firing with guns.
The sporadic zombies died one by one under the shooting of the soldiers, and the riverside gradually became quiet.
When the last zombie was eliminated by a sniper, the battle in Shuanglin County that lasted for half a month finally came to an end.
The cement floor here has turned dark brown, and the dirty blood has seeped into the ground, and it seems that it will not be able to dissipate for a long time.
The funds here are not easy to collect. I didn't have time to collect them on the second day. I did a simple collection on the third day. The cumulative death of almost 300,000 zombies only brought Tang Zheng more than 20,000 gold.
In the river under the bridge, there are still zombies surviving in the shallow water. Half of their bodies are exposed on the water, and they are still roaring feebly.
Those zombies that had been filled with too much water had their bellies bulging like big balloons, as if they were about to explode at any time. Such zombies were basically washed away by the water, and they didn't know where they went.
Tang Zheng had no time to pay attention to the zombies in the water, even if he worked hard there, he could still collect some funds.
His attention was now focused on the gold shop across the bridge.
When the tank drove across the bridge, which was covered with bones and ashes, Tang Zheng finally entered the core area of Shuanglin County for the first time.
Tang Zheng was almost certain that from the beginning of the apocalypse to the present, no civilian survivor had ever done this, that is, marching all the way into the core area of the county.
But he did it!
Tang Zheng came to the door of the gold shop and instinctively touched his back.
Ning Yuwei understood and handed the door-breaking hammer that had been placed on the back seat of the motorcycle into Tang Zheng's hands.
Tang Zheng wanted to retract his hand, but it was too late. He was stunned for a moment, looked at the breaking hammer in his hand, and then looked at the eyes of the thousands of soldiers around him looking at him, and finally got out of the car bravely.
When he came to the door of the gold shop, he picked up the door hammer and smashed the door lock with one hammer, and the door opened!
The surrounding soldiers all showed genuine admiration at this moment.
This admiration is not adulterated at all, because they know that among all the people in the army, there is probably no one who is more proficient in using this sledgehammer than the general.
This is the third update, added for the 50-month ticket.
