Now that Chu Jun is under his command, in addition to Fang Ren, there are 7 more explorers, 5 men and 2 women. Chu Jungui designated four forward defensive positions for them, in groups of two. They usually had food and accommodation in the positions, and were strictly prohibited from entering the base. But even if they were brave enough, they wouldn't dare to break into the base. After all, the two mobile crossbows on the city wall had killed at least 30 people in the past two nights.
After allocating the positions, Chu Jungui gave each of them a blueprint, which detailed how to build a warning position. Except for Fang Ren, the other explorers were a little dumbfounded when they saw the beautifully printed blueprint. Industrial printing seems simple, but in fact it involves a huge industrial chain. If you don't want to set up an industrial base, you must at least have a fully functional manufacturing machine.
While everyone was getting familiar with the blueprint, Chu Jungui and Hathaway moved out four more large boxes, assigning one to each person. . Inside the box are basic tools such as shovels, picks, and axes, as well as a precision tool box. The rest are modular building materials and fasteners. Everyone was a little numb and received the equipment silently.
Fang Ren had long been familiar with Chu Jungui's style, so he didn't say much and just carried the material box behind his back. The person assigned to him was a female explorer who was quite petite, so he did the rough work without any hesitation.
Chu Jungui gave everyone a rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition. Now that biomass gunpowder can be mass-produced, rifles and bullets are easy to produce. Originally, explorers had a variety of weapons in their hands, with everything they could use. Now that they have a unified rifle, it looks like that.
After distributing the supplies, Chu Jun returned and said: "There is only one discipline tonight. No matter what happens, no matter how many enemies appear in front of you, you are not allowed to leave the position! Even if you die, you must die on the position! Anyone who leaves the position 30 meters will bear the consequences. .”
With that said, Chu Jungui pointed to the two crossbows on the camp wall. This thing has a shooting range of up to 2,000 meters, and explorers will never be able to escape its pursuit.
After assigning the tasks, Chu Jungui waved his hand and asked these explorers to go to work in their positions.
Fang Ren carried the box back to his position, and the female explorer consciously helped him carry it along the way to lighten the burden. After returning to the position and comparing it with the blueprint, Fang Ren started digging. First, he had to dig the position trench to a depth of two meters, then add pads at the bottom and set up fenders on both sides. The shooting position should be paved with water-permeable and heat-insulating pads, and armor plates with protective functions should be placed on both sides. In addition to the combat position, a 1.5-meter-high, 4-square-meter rest room and warehouse must be dug and fixed with building materials.
The whole project took about 4 hours. While Fang Ren was working, the female explorer was checking the rifle that was issued, and then took a look in the direction of the base.
Seeing her actions, Fang Ren immediately said: "What do you want to do?"
She said a little nonchalantly: "Just trying the gun. This gun is good!"
She put down her rifle, picked up the prefabricated board, and started working with Fang Ren. She asked while working: "You arrived earlier than us, so you should know him better. Do you think he is stupid for giving us such a good gun? If we have other ideas, give him a shot." , isn’t he looking for death?”
Fang Ren pointed to his head and said: "The brain is a good thing, you deserve it. I don't think about it, if this thing can kill him, then he will give us one? Besides, how many people will there be after the world changes? People died in his hands, have you seen him die?"
"Didn't you say that the first time he went in, he died in 3 minutes?"
Fang Ren coughed a few times and said: "That was an accident, an accident! Besides, so what if you succeed in the sneak attack, can you still be able to gain a foothold in the Department in the future? It would be strange if the doctor didn't throw you into prison immediately."
The woman shrugged and said, "You can get 10 billion after a few years in prison. It's worth it."
Fang Ren said: "The bounty is just talk. It is not certain whether it is real. If you want to kill that person, the chance is so small that it can be ignored. Rather than taking huge risks to fight for such a slim opportunity, it is better to follow him steadily. , wouldn’t it be nice to get salary funds? There will also be a lot of subsidies when you retire.”
"How many can there be?"
"How much?" Fang Ren smashed the prefabricated panels next to him with his fist and said, "If nothing else, have you seen this thing here before? I don't know what else is in that base! I have a hunch that this man It's going to take us to incredible new heights. You know, it's money."
The female explorer stopped talking and began to concentrate on her work.
The interior of the base is not as high-end and grand as the explorers imagined, but is extremely crowded, with massive materials filling every inch of space. The passages are so narrow that only one person can pass sideways, and he cannot be fat or strong. Hathaway was a little reluctant to pass through. Originally, Chu Jungui could not get through, but he exhaled and his body became 20 centimeters thinner, and he easily followed Hathaway through the passage.
Unexpectedly, at the exit of the passage, the little princess suddenly stopped and Chu Jungui almost bumped into her. He was about to retreat, but the little princess grabbed him, then stood on tiptoes and pecked him on the lips.
After the strong attack was successful, the little princess smiled softly and walked out of the passage. Then a light flashed in front of her eyes and she saw Lin Xi falling from the sky!
The little princess was so frightened that she subconsciously stepped back, only to bump into Chu Jungui's arms.
Lin Xi protected the important parts with her hands, gritted her teeth and glared at the little princess, saying, "Why is it like this inside? Where are my clothes?"
"I'll get it." As soon as the little princess spoke, she was interrupted by Lin Xi: "You stay, I'll go back!"
Chu Jun Gui Yiyan got into the room and went to get Lin Xi's clothes and armor. The little princess was so frightened that she looked at Lin Xi's figure with a smile. Lin Xi gritted his teeth in anger and said, "I'll give you a few returns! You go back quickly, and then come back!"
The little princess smiled and said: "I don't have your ability to shine. Wouldn't that be an advantage for Chu Jungui?"
Lin Xi thought about it, and had nothing to say for a moment. At this time, a large ball of armor fell from the sky. It turned out to be Chu Jungui throwing the object over a tall wall of building materials.
Lin Xi quickly put on her clothes and then breathed a sigh of relief. She walked to Chu Jungui and said softly: "I have something to tell you."
After entering the room, Lin Xi closed the door and told the whole story about the transaction with Lin Xuandao. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry."
Chu Jungui laughed and said, "It's just two places, what's the big deal."
"And Lin Ya..."
"We'll wait until she can be found. It's not difficult to protect someone."
"I'm a little worried about her character..."
Chu Jungui said: "Aren't you able to handle someone like Hathaway obediently? What else is there to be afraid of?"
"She?? Forget it, it's strange that she would obey me. She is just honest on the surface, not necessarily what she is doing behind my back!"
Chu Jungui's heart suddenly trembled, and he changed the subject calmly: "Regardless of the quota or Lin Ya, it is a trivial matter. We have even dealt with 500,000 federal troops, but we can't deal with a little girl from the family? Let's go and work. We have to expand the base today, and it’s really too crowded here.”
Lin Xi nodded and followed Chu Jun back out of the room.
Taking advantage of dawn, Chu Jungui's plan was to double the area of the camp. For the convenience of construction, a new self-fixing foundation module was specially manufactured.
Carrying a standard one-square-meter foundation module in one hand and a 100kg hammer in the other, Chu Jungui came outside the camp and put down the foundation module next to the wall. After placing it, he knocked on the module and heard a muffled sound, and then white smoke came out from around the foundation module. Under the power of gunpowder, the pile foundations under the foundation modules have been driven deeply into the soil.
Chu Jungui then used a heavy hammer to drive down the long nails protruding from the four corners, and the foundation was fixed. It took a total of 15 seconds. Chu Jungui laid down the second foundation and followed the same method, but this time there was an extra step, which was to use fasteners to firmly fix the two foundations together. The fasteners are already installed in the foundation module, just align the two modules and tighten in their respective bolt holes.
Originally, tightening fasteners was a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, but in Chu Jungui's hands, the rocker wrench was like a windmill, able to strengthen a foundation in just a few seconds.
The little princess and Lin Xi worked tirelessly, both doing the same thing. The three people moved like flying, each module flew to the designated position and fixed at a speed visible from breathing. A new camp area rose from the ground. The camp walls were also five meters high, and tracks were laid for the movement of crossbows.
By nightfall, the new camp area has been built, and the mountains of materials that were originally piled up have been almost consumed. At this time, two of the four forward positions were not yet completed. Chu Jungui did not rush. The explorers were not children. They knew very well what a perfect position meant.
At this moment, a few lights appeared on the distant horizon, and a small group of explorers appeared on the high slopes in the distance. They saw the camp from a distance and immediately walked straight towards the base.
Seeing these three people walking into the range of the crossbows, none of them crawling or making tactical maneuvers, Kaitian muttered: "We are here to take refuge again." Then the two crossbows moved away and returned to to the north.
The three explorers walked straight towards the camp, and Chu Jungui greeted them and stopped them outside the camp. At this time, night had just fallen, and under the light of the torches on the camp wall, the surrounding area of the camp was illuminated as if it were daytime.
The one in the middle of these three explorers is a beautiful girl who is full of heroic spirit, with picturesque features and undisguised unruliness. The explorers on her left and right all looked quite young and didn't have much experience at first glance.
The girl bit a grass stalk in her mouth. She looked at Chu Jungui first, then at the camp. She spat out the grass stalk and said, "Are you Chu Jungui? I'm Lin Ya. There should be someone following you." I've said hello, and I'll hang out with you in the next few days. Show me where my room is. Also prepare some food for me, I'm actually hungry here, it's really a ghost."
As she spoke, she walked straight into the camp. Chu Jungui stopped her, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Are you looking for a place to live?"
"if not?"
Chu Jungui made a gesture to the camp wall and pointed outside. A crossbow arrow was immediately shot from the camp wall. It exploded violently after landing, directly blasting a large hole in the ground.
As soon as Lin Ya was startled, Chu Jungui grabbed her by the back of the neck and threw her lightly for a hundred meters, landing right in the pit where the gunpowder smoke was not gone.
"You can sleep there tonight!" Chu Jun returned.
