Back at the base, Valia compared the map and introduced a building materials supermarket in the eastern suburbs of the city.
From the next day, Varya was hired to help at the old price to haul things to the building materials warehouse.
The other party didn't want to receive wages, but was deceived by Wang Qi's talk.
If the materials and labor required for RV manufacturing were shared equally among everyone, it would be a very heavy burden on Elena's family. Wang Qi was different, so he took Li Xiang with him, because nocturnal ghosts did not need lighting or collecting resources to make torches, so they could concentrate more on raising supplies for the RV.
From this point of view, it may be better to form a team, but after the team is combined, Wang Qi will find it more difficult when supplies are relatively scarce.
After all, the productivity is still insufficient. When Valia, Shana and Kai can also hunt mantis monsters in the spring, the situation will improve.
While walking on the road, I discovered that it turned out that Varya himself had not been there, and most likely got the information from others.
Fortunately, the building materials supermarket is big enough, so it's not hard to find.
The building materials supermarket did not disappoint. It was a warehouse-like market with an area of nearly 20,000 square meters. Even though it had been plundered countless times by survivors, there was still a large amount of building materials that were difficult for ordinary people to transport.
Prestressed steel strands for concrete, ceramic tiles, slates, profiles of various materials and specifications, etc., the architects feel like they are at home when they come here. If it were not impossible, they would really want to pack all these things.
But even if I can't take them all, there are so many useful things, and there are still many things I want.
The first one is the 7x7 steel strand.
7x7 means that every seven strands are twisted into one strand, and all seven strands are twisted together again. In terms of performance, the same material is made of 7x7 with a total diameter of 5 mm, which is much softer than 1x7 of 5 mm, and has better resistance to repeated bending.
In other words, it is very suitable for use as a crane's sling and a tow truck's traction rope. It was originally used for outdoor suspension and load-bearing. The surface is galvanized and has no rust.
These steel strands are in whole trays, and all the tools in the market have been taken away, and they have to go back to get hydraulic shears.
Wang Qi thought about it,
It's just a trip anyway, so I might as well just take it all away, it won't weigh much.
According to the label specifications, I chose a plate with a diameter of 6 mm and a load capacity of 350 kilograms per 100 meters. It may sell better, or it may have been cut many times by other survivors. The remaining length of the whole plate is more than 200 meters. I don’t want a wooden plate. , the total weight is about sixty kilograms.
The other part of the crane is also made of aluminum alloy profiles. Use these two materials to make a small crane. The length of the boom is two meters, and more than 200 meters of slings are used. The total weight will not exceed one hundred kilograms, which is better than a wooden boom. Strong... not necessarily, but it is more important to be lightweight when taking it on the road.
Elena didn't remind him when she saw him painting a wooden crane... Maybe she didn't care about this kind of supermarket before the disaster, and didn't even know where it was.
It seems that small oak wood can only be used as accessories for RVs, otherwise they should be made into ax handles.
Get two good things, don't leave in a hurry.
Since there is such a good place, we must squeeze out the value.
The RV might be able to make some light-weight considerations.
In the past, angle steel was used as the main structure because it is very common and ordinary aluminum profiles cannot achieve similar strength. However, the situation is different in building materials supermarkets.
In addition to the materials, the defensive power of RVs is also affected by the structure of the materials used. For example, U-shaped profiles are definitely more suitable for defensive structures than plates. Supermarkets have more complete material categories, making it possible to find suitable aluminum alloy profiles in batches.
There were cardboard boxes on site, and he used Valia's fire to burn dead branches as charcoal. Wang Qi wrote down the labels and inventory quantities of all the aluminum alloy profiles before bringing back some target angle steel.
The RV structure needs to be readjusted.
Wang Qi did another lot of calculations and reconstructed the frame structure taking into account the craftsmanship mastered by the blacksmith.
The weight has basically remained unchanged, but I-beam aluminum is used to construct more X-shaped support structures, and the protection against side and top impacts has been enhanced to a certain extent.
This version will not be changed, otherwise it will not be easy to get it from the blacksmith.
The total weight of the RV including basic internal furniture, excluding material storage, is 3.6 tons, which is very heavy, but for the sake of safety and keeping warm in winter, it cannot be lighter. Add in the several hundred kilograms of large reserves that were previously planned to be transported on pallets, plus two idlers, one large and one small, and six reform-through-labor prisoners may not be enough.
If Wang Qi doesn't tow the truck himself, at most one person from Elena's family can pull the truck, and the others have to do reconnaissance, guarding, and take turns.
Without adding attributes and being a non-Hercules, the limit of a human-pulled four-wheeled vehicle can reach 500 to 800 kilograms per person. Six people can drag a five-ton object to death. The moving distance can only be calculated as a hundred meters. Add one Ai. Lina's family also has a heavy burden and needs frequent breaks.
...It might as well be eight.
Of course, he can add attributes to the reform-through-labor prisoners, but it is impossible to add them all at once, because just adding resistance to them will take some time. At most, he can add them once to let them experience the effect of the physical or strength bonus, and then use it as a comparison. Hard-to-obtain performance rewards can also reduce the possibility of reform-through-labor prisoners escaping from prison and continuing to commit crimes.
After completing the renovation design, I continued to pull materials.
In fact, the frame material doesn't weigh much at all, less than 800 kilograms, and it only weighs one ton with the two leaf springs for a medium-sized car.
Leaf springs are easy to obtain. This thing is heavier and no one wants it. Even if its properties are very suitable for use as cold weapons, you still have to be able to take it apart and take it away. It would be easier to do it like Wang Qi who overturned the car and then dismantled it. and safe points.
Before sending the materials to the blacksmith, Wang Qi also hand-drawn a few sheets of aluminum profile processing precautions to prevent the young blacksmith from burning all the good materials.
Frame materials were shipped to the blacksmith, who began working on the large oak logs at home.
Wang Qi has no confidence in his carpentry, so he can only leave this work to Waliya and Kai.
I made another trip for tools, and spent some money to borrow a two-man saw from a homeless family that made furniture.
In order to ensure that the defense, load-bearing and dead weight all meet the design requirements when completed, sufficient margin is left when sawing the wood. For example, if the RV floor needs to be made of seven-centimetre-thick wood boards, cut the boards at eight-centimeter thicknesses to ensure that they will be seven centimeters thick after the deformation is repaired and polished in two to three months.
The thickness of the wooden boards on the sides and top is thin, only five centimeters after completion.
Wang Qi also wanted to use seven centimeters, and the large oak wood was enough to process that many boards. But adding two centimeters to the thickness would increase the weight of the vehicle by more than 800 kilograms!
We cannot increase the number of prison inmates indefinitely, otherwise management and food problems will arise again, and compromises must be made.
With a thickness of five centimeters, uu reads that even the hard oak is still a bit thin, and some triangular support structures are not enough to withstand excessively strong impacts. In the early stage, the main defense is mainly provided by the frame. When the prisoners are trained to a certain extent, Then consider adding steel plates three to five millimeters thick.
The amount of the project was relatively large, and Wang Qi, who planned to finance it on his own, did not have enough meat to pay wages, so he could only work hard on reptiles for a while, and took time to kill a mantis monster.
In order to ensure that the insect swarm can still provide enough food after the beginning of spring, Wang Qi and Li Xiang rested for a few days after this hunting, and wandered around the stadium for a few days.
The purpose is not to continue killing, but to count the frequency of mantis monsters' movements to determine how much remaining combat power the insect nest has and whether it can survive the winter.
The mantis monster's activity range has shrunk due to the reduction of reptile sentinels, but it still responds to external alarms, indicating that the impact on the guard force in the stadium is limited.
Maybe I have to thank the ghosts nearby who come up from time to time to provide free food for the small amount of food provided in winter.
Wang Qi decided to investigate again next month. If the insect nest failed, he would cut the last crop himself. If he could withstand the pressure from all sides, he would wait until spring.
