Entering the production area, Chu Jungui understood why the entire base was dark.
There are less than 50 basic construction machines still working in the production area, and there are almost the same number of various refining furnaces, organic matter separators, organic matter editors, etc. There seemed to be less than 100 workers, and they seemed alone in the huge production area.
The vast majority of construction machines produce ammunition, with only a small percentage producing food and other raw materials. The food that comes out of the construction machine is packed in boxes. Chu Jungui picked up a box and looked at it. The words "synthetic food" were printed on the lid, but otherwise it was blank.
The packaging box is made of synthetic paper material, and the lid is disposable and sealed. Chu Jungui tore open the lid and saw a deep purple paste like tofu inside. He picked up a spoonful and put it in his mouth. This thing didn't have much texture. It tasted very strange, with a lingering sourness, and it was difficult to swallow.
Chu Jungui swallowed it in one gulp and analyzed the ingredients in his stomach. This is a basic nutritional cream, high in calories but good for nothing else. Moreover, the lunch box is obviously much smaller than the normal size, only half the standard size.
"Two boxes per meal?" Chu Jungui asked.
"No, one box. Only front-line workers have two boxes."
Chu Jungui was very surprised, "What does this mean? Don't you even have enough to eat?"
Le Mans smiled bitterly, "It's understandable, but there's nothing we can do about it."
"There are so many organic resources on this planet. Aren't the beasts bringing meat to them?"
Le Mans was speechless and couldn't answer. Roland's voice sounded next to him: "Let me answer. We don't have enough production capacity. We must produce enough ammunition before the next beast wave comes, otherwise everyone will die. All available production capacity is used to produce ammunition. Only A small part of the production of necessary necessities is maintained, but only at the level of minimum demand. In order to reduce food consumption and relieve discomfort, we arrange for at least 500 people to lie still on the bed every day. Those who have their turn to lie still can only be allocated one bed a day. Box of food.”
Chu Jun returned: "I remember that ammunition was never a problem when I left."
"That's because you are here. After you leave, no one can control the weapons station like you. The ammunition consumption for a battle is ten times that of the past. This is just to barely resist the beast tide."
After looking at the production area, Chu Jungui checked the defense facilities again. Most of the turrets are in good condition, and even the idle turrets are well maintained. A total of more than 300 turrets were arranged along the outer wall, and the remaining firepower gaps were filled by manned firepower points.
After all, the steering and tracking of the turret are not as fast as human hands. Ordinary people do not have the foresight of Chu Jungui. It is very difficult to operate the turret and the efficiency is not high. Therefore, after Chu Jungui and Lin Xi left, the people who stayed behind picked up their weapons again, and the turret was only used as a fulcrum of firepower.
The only good news is that there is plenty of ammunition.
After seeing the entire base, Chu Jungui knew what was going on. He summoned his generals back to the conference room and began questioning the Union troops in detail about the attack.
Roland and others are all from the federal army, so they are naturally very familiar with the federation. They had long concluded that federal forces had established a new base within 300 kilometers of the base. It was just that because of the frequent beast tides, they had too much time to take care of themselves, so they only made a tentative attack once. The target of that attack was obvious, it was aimed at the Cambrian mastermind. The Lancers were the first troops to establish bases on the planet's surface, so they naturally knew the importance of the base's mastermind, even an outdated mastermind like the Cambrian.
After the Cambrian was destroyed, most of the base was paralyzed. No matter how adept Roland and Wilson were at directing, they could only barely support it.
At this time, what supports the operation of the entire base is the first-generation Fire biochip master brain left behind by Chu Jungui. This Tinder uses a simplified version of the Prometheus architecture, which is limited to the number and performance of biochips, and its computing power is very limited. If the computing power index of the Cambrian is 10,000, then Tinder is 70, which may be less than a little. This performance is due to the advanced architecture of Prometheus.
Currently, 91% of the production capacity of the base is in the production of ammunition and related raw materials, 6% of the production capacity is in the production of food and fuel, and less than 3% of the mobile production capacity needs to cope with the repair and construction of the entire base. The so-called 3% production capacity is just two construction machines at the moment.
Fortunately, all the blueprints of the early basic research are stored in the agent chip, and there is no need for secondary research and development. Chu Jungui's third-level special chip has powerful performance. The computing power index alone reaches 12,000, which has exceeded the Cambrian. It also has many functions that the Cambrian does not have. The actual performance is far above the surface computing power.
Chu Jungui connected his personal terminal with Tinder and began to redistribute the tasks of the entire base.
The first thing is to activate all the reserve power of the base and wake up the 500 people who are still lying still. This is a labor force of 500, but 500 people together with their armor will consume the base's power reserve within 12 hours. At that time, the entire base will return to the era of pure manual work.
However, Chu Jungui naturally knew it, and he immediately stopped the production of all ammunition and turned to the production of fuel and equipment parts and raw materials. The base currently only has two power furnaces, which cannot operate at full power. Chu Jungui plans to build two new Le Mans crystal power furnaces. Chu Jungui made minor revisions to the design, greatly simplifying the structure while reducing the power, and accelerated the construction speed.
The final product is a behemoth with a height of 5 meters, but the construction time is shortened by half, and it is more stable, and mostly uses widely available materials such as reinforced steel.
Chu Jungui reconnected part of the automatic turret to the fire. Controlling an automatic turret consumes 1 computing power. Even if one fire type does nothing, 80 turrets need to be controlled directly. Chu Jungui left half of the computing power to maintain the normal operation of the base, and then connected the remaining 100 turrets to his personal chip for direct control.
As soon as the re-zoning was completed, an alarm sounded on the observation tower. A warrior with a loud voice shouted: "The beast tide is coming!!"
Even with the help of the voice amplification function of the armor, it is not easy for this person to cover the entire base with his voice. Chu Jun glanced at Wilson and Roland beside him and said, "You have lived into the 18th century!"
After teasing, Chu Jungui quickly climbed up the city wall and looked at the beast tide.
At this time, the frontline of the beast tide was only 1,500 meters away from the fortress, leaving the fortress with very limited reaction time. The forward reconnaissance system originally established by Chu Jungui seemed to have completely failed. The entire base could only rely on primitive means such as lookouts to maintain vigilance.
Looking at the familiar tide of beasts, Chu Jungui smiled slightly and said to his left and right: "There will be meat to eat tonight."
