Two beast tides brought a large amount of organic raw materials to the base, which is the main source of biomass gunpowder and survival-grade composite materials. One means firepower, the other means defense.
With firepower and defense already in place, Chu Jungui thought of mobility. But this is not a particularly necessary ability at the moment. In most cases, just dig around the base and the minerals will be there. Because of the Cambrian period during the Lancers' period, they had a very clear understanding of the geological structure within tens of kilometers and hundreds of meters underground, and several small veins were also discovered. The surrounding area is mainly copper, tin, nickel, cobalt and other minerals.
Chu Jungui dug out the information left by the Lancers, and after reviewing it, he took a fancy to a copper vein less than 300 meters away from the base. The vein is not big, and the advantage is that it is less than a hundred meters from the surface.
On the eighth day after Chu Jungui returned to Planet 4, a new refining furnace was built, and the base's metal processing capacity reached 500 tons, which was equivalent to half of the past production. At the same time, the output of survival-grade composite materials has reached half of the past. In terms of overall organic matter processing, the base can process all the materials for a C-grade beast tide in two days.
The only thing that's a bit troublesome is the bileaf wood. During the Lancers' period, in order to facilitate defense, the Doomsday Shadow Fortress directly blew up all the forests within a kilometer radius, so that now logging has to go one kilometer away. This distance is nothing in normal times, but when a tide of beasts may appear at any time, it can be fatal. Humans cannot outrun the menacing beasts.
To reduce risks, shorten logging time and increase defensive firepower.
Chu Jungui reassigned the research tasks to the chip, and also assigned the task of designing a new logging truck to the engineers, mechanics and electrical scientists in the base.
For the first time, the scientists at the base felt that they had something to offer. They no longer had to guard the refining furnace every day, and they felt refreshed. They immediately called a meeting and came up with a design within an hour. It is not easy to come up with a mature plan so quickly without the help of the mastermind. All scientists rely on the poor computing power of personal terminals and personal chips to support the huge model computing needs. The ability to provide results so quickly is the result of repeated optimization of the model.
This design plan has reached the blueprint stage, which means it can be directly used for production.
It only took Chu Jungui's chip 10 minutes to produce the blueprint, and then Chu Jungui waited for the scientists for 50 minutes.
The plan proposed by scientists and engineers is to equip two engineering vehicles. One is an all-terrain, large-load transport vehicle with a fully enclosed compartment. The cockpit can accommodate 4 people and has an airtight door. While driving, you can also charge the armor and replenish oxygen. The cargo hold is also airtight and can be stored at low temperatures and corrosive gases can be separated to ensure the integrity of the materials. The transport vehicle is equipped with three pairs of drive and all-steer tires and can travel at a speed of 40 kilometers on complex terrain in the wild.
Matching the transport vehicle is the collection vehicle. This vehicle has a semi-automatic cutting tool that can cut down trees by driving, and then process them into pieces of standard volume raw materials in the processing cabin in the rear compartment, and then transport them away by the transport vehicle.
Both vehicles are well designed, with all performance indicators balanced and excellent, and even the industrial design is impeccable. These two engineering vehicles are full of post-modern minimalist metal fantasy style, and people will believe in any brand they put on them.
In the conference room, after the chief engineer introduced the blueprints of the two vehicles, he couldn't help but look proud. Being able to complete such an outstanding design in such a short period of time under such simple conditions, in addition to his own design genius, team coordination and project management also reflect the master level.
Then Chu Jungui came up with his own design. To be more precise, it was the design of the chip. The artistic components also contributed to the appearance design.
This set of designs consists of three functional vehicles. The appearance combines heavy metal punk with a minimalist style. Looking at it, it can be summarized as a board, a piece and a hedgehog.
The board is a carrier vehicle, which takes minimalism to the extreme. To put it simply, it is a flat plate with five pairs of wheels, and a cab is attached to it. According to the instructions, this pallet truck is responsible for transporting felled wood. Maybe he felt that the materials used were too economical, so Chu Jungui was able to add an anti-gravity engine to it. As a result, the actual carrying capacity of the vehicle exceeded 150 tons, and it could also travel all-terrain at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. Judging from this performance alone, it is already a bit close to the modified heavy-duty vehicle of an industrial madman from the home planet era.
The block is a large square box with a cab attached to it.
Chu Jungui's cab is really a cab for driving. There is no airtightness or air conditioning. The roof seems to be just to keep out wind and rain. If the weather on Planet 4 were better, maybe even the roof of the test body would be removed.
The large box below is actually a passenger and cargo cabin. It is divided into two layers and can accommodate hundreds of people. The free space can be used to stuff personal equipment. The chip has also specially designed a logging chainsaw, which can be controlled by two people. The tree cutting efficiency is not much slower than that of a harvesting machine. Moreover, because of the large number of people, the overall tree cutting efficiency of a bicycle is even much higher than that of a specially designed harvesting vehicle.
Finally, there is the hedgehog, or to put it more figuratively, half a sea urchin on wheels. This is an armed escort vehicle. It is divided into three floors and equipped with ten weapon stations. Most of them are manually controlled. The only function of this escort vehicle is to resist sudden attacks by small-scale animal herds and cover the retreat of engineering vehicles transporting people.
The only ones that can catch up are the alien beasts, and there are not many alien beasts that can't deal with this multi-turret version of the God's Cult on Planet 4.
Although the chip design adds a functional car, each design is extremely simple and practical. The functions that are not available are completely eliminated, the materials used are extremely economical, and the efficiency is greatly improved. The main thing is to change the main force of tree felling from engineering vehicles to people. Two people work together to lift a chainsaw, and they can scatter hundreds of chainsaws at once, which is much faster than a specialized engineering vehicle.
More importantly, none of these people want money.
Due to the economical use of materials and single functions, these three types of vehicles are very easy to produce. However, the armed escort vehicle is more troublesome. It takes two days to build one, but building one is enough. The rest of the RVs and trailers can be built in two hours. But according to the scientists' design, it would take three days to build one.
Comparing the two solutions, the results are self-evident.
Le Mans still couldn't change his old habit of being outspoken. After seeing the design of the chip, he felt like his breath was stuck in his chest and he couldn't lift it up. After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to say: "You are too... frugal."
After all, Le Mans understood some flexibility and did not say the word out, but replaced it with economy.
