After establishing an outer warning circle, Lin Xi went on an adventure.
She suspended the production of all weapons and ammunition, readjusted the entire production line, and greatly increased the production of various construction machinery vehicles, focusing on excavation, logging, and transportation equipment. For a whole day on the home planet, the firepower of Base 2 did not increase at all, but there were nearly 20 more engineering vehicles.
The tractors used by single soldiers have mostly been replaced by heavy-duty carriers with a load capacity of more than 50 tons, and tractors are only needed in individual cases.
The emergence of four excavators has made handheld drills a thing of the past, and the digging efficiency has doubled. The only regret is that so far, only a small iron ore vein has been found around the base, which is of no great use. What the base needs is not basic metals, but various non-ferrous and rare metals.
There are also 6 harvesting machines in logging, and the efficiency has been increased to three times that of the past. It can fully guarantee the base's current supply of raw materials, and there is still a considerable surplus.
Abundant raw materials allow the base to build more large-scale refining, separation and editing equipment. Finally, 40 hours later, the production capacity of Base 2 increased by 50% again. Then restart the weapons production line.
The beast tide did not appear, and Lin Xi's adventure was more than half successful.
At this time, Chu Jungui's cracking progress on his own chip has exceeded 15%, his processing power has become seven times that of the past, and the processing speed of the chip itself is also faster.
Regarding the new research project, Chu Jungui hesitated between the large-scale alien version universal editor and the advanced biomass gunpowder, and finally chose the large-scale alien version universal editor.
This editor is more efficient, can handle more materials, and no longer distinguishes between organic and inorganic matter. It is completely a device within the authority of a fourth-level agent. However, each agent is on a different planet, obtains different data, and designs completely different editors.
Therefore, Chu Jungui had no way to obtain a completed design drawing. He could only design unique equipment based on the existing accumulated data.
Chu Jungui had a vague feeling that the personalized design that appeared when he was a fourth-level agent was perhaps the most important characteristic of an agent. Only in this way can agents better adapt to the alien environment and thus take root and survive.
The large-scale alien editor required a full 30 hours of research time. Chu Jungui was not in a hurry and continued to help improve the construction and defense of the base.
The fifth generation of mechanical keyboards has proven its powerful firepower, but its shortcomings are also obvious. The low rate of fire magnifies the control risks of ordinary warriors. They do not have the abnormal level of accuracy like Chu Jungui. A simple and easy way is to increase the quantity. The air defense towers can be divided into two or even three batches. Chu Jungui can use the gaps in the rate of fire to continuously switch, thus greatly increasing the firepower density.
Another way is to study a machine gun between the fourth and fifth generations to strike a balance between power, range and accurate rate of fire. Such a weapon may seem mediocre, but it can be used by ordinary warriors with ease. The fifth-generation mechanical keyboard was completely tailor-made for Chu Jungui. Except for his own use, it could only be installed on a fixed turret for use.
Chu Jungui has designed several generations of mechanical keyboards and has mastered a lot of data. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to create a new 4.5-generation mechanical keyboard. He does not need a chip and just relies on his own brain.
With the further refinement of the design, the 4.5-generation mechanical keyboard has been divided into three types. One is a 30mm caliber heavy machine gun that conventionally uses a base gun frame, the other is a 14mm caliber full-featured assault rifle, and the third is a 30mm caliber rapid-fire grenade gun, which is designed to provide close fire support in the wild.
With these three types of individual weapons, all three generations of mechanical keyboards in the gun tower have been replaced. Therefore, when night falls on the planet again, the firepower of Base 2 has been increased again, and there is a preliminary two-layer early warning and firepower network.
In the Shadow Fortress, William looked at the order he had just received with a gloomy expression.
Joseph came over, his left hand still hanging in the bandage, and asked, "What's wrong? I haven't seen you look good recently."
William handed the order to Joseph and said, "The Winton family has issued a reward. Anyone with information about Hathaway can get a large reward."
Joseph glanced at it and said, "Is this a good thing? Why do you still have a sour face?"
William crumpled the order into a ball of waste paper and threw it accurately to the waste paper 10 meters away. He said: "The Jolly Roger has just built two landing bases. At present, it can only protect itself. They are far away. Now it has the ability to go We are the only ones looking for Hathaway."
Joseph frowned and said: "We tried it, but the result was that we lost almost all our mobile forces. After three rounds of supplies, our strength has just been restored. Do you want us to go again with the same force? We would be stupid to this extent, specifically Are you going to die?"
William said: "Of course we are not that stupid. The problem is that it was Looney Herman who issued the reward order."
"Looney? The Looney known as the 'Terrain Leveler'?"
"Yes, that's him. He is a branch of the Winton family, and his bloodline is very close to the main line. As for his deeds, I don't need to say more, you should know a lot. This time he is leading the Jolly Roger Corps , In addition, I heard that in the succession sequence of the Winton family, he is only two places lower than Hathaway, currently ranked fifth."
"Does this have anything to do with ranking? It's not the 18th century. Third and fifth have their own allocations, how much difference can they make?" Joseph disagreed.
"It's not even close, let alone a behemoth like Winton? You are the first in line to succeed, so of course you don't think it's important."
Joseph thought thoughtfully, "In other words, this Looney is likely to pretend to be doing all-out search and rescue?"
"It's not possible, but it will definitely happen. He won't just show up, but will try his best. After all, no one is stupid. If you don't try your best, it will be easily exposed. But it is very common for accidents to happen during the rescue process. ”
"No matter what accident happens, as long as Hathaway turns into a corpse, the main responsibility will fall on us, right?"
"It is inevitable that the rescue efforts will not be effective."
Joseph shrugged, "What's the point? I won't be promoted for up to three years."
William said calmly: "It's a three-year freeze on seniority, not simply no promotion. And you can't make mistakes during these three years, otherwise it will be extended for one year."
Joseph's expression changed, "Frozen for three years? We were originally considered the youngest generals. After three years, wouldn't there be many people catching up with us?"
"That is natural, and we will also gain the hatred of many members of the Winton family. Don't forget, Hathaway comes from the most powerful branch in the entire Winton family. She has far more suitors than supporters." William added.
