There are obviously many secrets hidden in the giant rhinoceros and that obviously intelligent little creature, but now there is no chance to see them display their talents. The body of the giant rhinoceros is still there, not even a scrap of that little creature is left.
Based on the characteristics of the small creature, Lin Xi and Chu Jungui named it the Messenger. Judging from its size, it doesn't look like it's behind the scenes.
Now that the whereabouts of the messenger had been discovered, Chu Jungui knew that difficulty four would appear soon. In the fourth difficulty scenario, air troops will appear. Although it is only a short-range attack and there will be no long-range air combat troops, the appearance of air troops will leave the ground defense facilities completely vacant.
Lin Xi once had questions about the difficulty classification of Chu Jungui. For example, why did the air combat long-range troops in difficulty five not appear in advance?
Chu Jungui's answer was that most of the beasts here evolved naturally, with only vague traces of human adjustments. It was even difficult to determine whether there had been adjustments by human factors.
Among naturally evolved creatures, the ability to fly itself occupies an absolute advantage, and there is generally no need to evolve long-range capabilities. Even for ordinary people in the 35th century, shooting a moving target in the air is still a very difficult task. It must be assisted by a chip or even an automatic aiming system. If a bird without a chip wants to spray something, it must be accurate. It's touchingly low.
Such creatures have probably been eliminated from nature a long time ago.
As for difficulty five, Chu Jungui is already prepared. The optimization of the biomass rifle in the chip has been carried out for 9 hours and will be completed in less than an hour. At this moment, the prototype of the new rifle can be vaguely seen. After Chu Jungui made the final adjustments to the plan, he continued to build fortifications on the roof of the cockpit while waiting for the design optimization to be completed.
He built a man-fortified position on top of the cockpit. The position uses alloy instead of wood as the support, waste bricks as the central armor layer, and two layers of mortar and one layer of bone on the inside and outside. Such a defense can at least make the Thornback Beast 100 meters away unable to do anything. At the same time, Chu Jun also added a bracket with a simple hydraulic retraction device, which allows Lin Xi to automatically return to the original position after shooting, so that he will not be overturned by the recoil.
As for Lin Xi, she continued to do what she liked: laying landmines.
By the time Chu Jungui completed the fortifications, the design of the new biomass rifle was also completed. Like the sniper rifle, this Planet 4 version of the rifle has also been changed beyond recognition. At first glance, it looks like an insect covered with heavy carapace. The curves are so beautiful that it is weird, and the blue and purple tones of the whole body add to the mystery.
The body of the new rifle is close to 1.5 meters, which is not as big as a rifle. The most eye-catching thing is the square magazine below. After Chu Jungui adjusted the design, what came out was no longer an assault rifle, but a real machine gun!
This alien version of the machine gun has a muzzle velocity of 1,200 meters and a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. Although the rate of fire is not outstanding, it is quite amazing for a biomass material weapon. After all, the rate of fire of weapons made of biomaterials is naturally insufficient.
And this rate of fire is close to Chu Jungui's limit. Under full-speed shooting, Chu Jungui was able to aim each bullet at a different target within a certain angle, giving the machine gun the effect of a precision rifle.
This is Chu Jungui's confidence in dealing with the air force. As long as the beasts dare to come, Chu Jungui will let them know what anti-aircraft firepower is.
The new alien version of the machine gun can use ordinary rifle bullets, but its power is limited. It also has specially optimized and designed bullets. Special machine gun bullets are half larger than rifle bullets, and the charge and power are correspondingly increased, but the rate of fire will be reduced, about 450 rounds per minute.
The slightly lower rate of fire is not a big problem, so the power is greatly increased. Two bullets can kill a strange beast if it hits the vital point. Three bursts can destroy the Thornback. However, specially designed bullets cannot be made directly from existing raw materials. They must be processed by an editor before they can be used.
Chu Jungui took stock of the ammunition reserves in his hands. The latest wave of attacks was wiped out by fission bombs, so nearly half of the materials were lost. In the end, only materials equivalent to 80 alien beasts and nearly 200 thorns were harvested. All these materials were used by Chu Jungui to make bullets, and he eventually harvested about 2,000 rounds of bullets and 100 rounds of sniper rifle bullets. Counting the remaining inventory on hand, the two of them had about 2,500 rounds of ammunition and 150 rounds of sniper rounds.
These ammunition reserves can completely launch a medium-sized military operation. After all, Chu Jungui has a machine gun in his hand, and the damage he can cause alone is equivalent to a platoon of precision shooters. Lin Xi didn't exaggerate that much, but in terms of true strength, he was comparable to a squad of elite soldiers.
Chu Jungui built another alien machine gun for Lin Xi to provide continuous firepower. At this time, Lin Xi had already gone back and forth several times and ignored Chu Jungui. As soon as he came back, he went to the workbench and immersed himself in making some weird little things.
Chu Jungui casually asked her how many landmines she had laid, and got a shocking number: 19 types, 210 in total.
After seeing the most basic stabbing thunder and chain cutting thunder, Chu Jungui suddenly felt that these alien beasts were a little sad.
At this time, Lin Xi's chip was still developing the alien version of the organic matter separator, while Chu Jungui continued to build five polymer battery packs. After adding 100kw of energy supply, he began to produce the original version of the organic matter editor.
The organic matter editor can re-edit raw materials to form specific molecular structures to achieve specific properties, which can be physical, such as super hard, super ductile or high temperature resistant, or chemical. Physically common.
The materials Chu Jungui currently has on hand, including mortar, animal bones, and thorns, can all be re-edited to obtain enhanced performance. Material editing also requires design drawings. When Chu Jungui's chip designed the alien version of the sniper rifle and machine gun, he analyzed some of the materials and came up with a plan for editing and improvement.
Chu Jungui input the design drawing of the editor into the workbench. The total manufacturing time was about one hour, and the final power consumption was 40kw.
"There is still enough energy." Chu Jungui thought, and was about to press the button to start manufacturing, when he suddenly remembered something and looked at Lin Xi who was busy not far away.
He sighed secretly, canceled the editor's manufacturing process, and instead manufactured an additional equipment for the refining furnace: the electrolysis module.
The base version of the refining furnace has a total of two expansion ports for installing function enhancement modules, corresponding to more than 20 different functional modules.
The energy consumption of the electrolysis module is about 50kw, and its volume is equivalent to a quarter of a refining furnace, which is about the same size as a dishwasher on the home planet. Chu Jungui installed the electrolysis module on the reserved expansion port of the refining furnace.
There is no oxygen on Planet 4, and there is no water on the surface, but there are a lot of oxides. These oxides can be electrolyzed in refining furnaces, releasing oxygen.
With oxygen, there is water, and the two of them no longer need to live a life of extreme survival.
