This Game is Too Real

Chapter 162: The name of the gun is Scythe

   Chapter 162 The name of this gun is Sickle

  【Full Server Announcement: Outpost has obtained a "Magnetic Confinement Plasma Machining Machine", with a durability of 99% and an industrial index of +100]

  【Note 1: This machine tool can make metal parts of any geometric shape. Now players can submit relevant drawings to the manager assistant, explain the use, and obtain quotations and material requirements. Drawings can be drawn in the game, or electronic files can be submitted through the personal page of the official website. 】

  【Note 2: The processing equipment can only change the geometry of the material, not the properties of the material itself, and the cutting process will generate waste. To process ingots into steel tubes, pre-process them into rods or near rods. If you want to process copper ingots into copper wire, please use a wire drawing machine instead of taking up valuable machine tool resources. 】

  【Note 3: The specification of the input processing material is limited to 1X1X1m, and the material beyond the specification cannot be processed. 】

The    announcement was made at 6pm.

   This point happens to be the peak of players going online and offline.

   Whether it was a brick mover who went to the northern town to pick up garbage, or a hunter player who was hunting in the Elm area, most of them returned to the action camp.

   Looking at the announcement that popped up on the VM, the faces of the little players invariably showed surprised expressions.

   "Magnetically Confinement Plasma Machine Tool?"

   "Or CNC?"

   "What kind of suture monster is this, how come I've never heard of it?"

   "If you've heard of it, it's a coincidence. In reality, 1 minute can be regarded as 'high constraint' and 'long pulse'. Do you understand what it means? Forget it, you don't understand it."

   "Hey, these guys still have big brains in making games, and they don't even make drafts when they brag!"

  Although Chu Guang wanted to share this joy with them, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

  The vast majority of players don’t know how hard-earned this machine is, let alone how much sacrifices are made by those little players who can’t go online because of bugs.

   They just thought that Boss Xia had another workbench. Now he can not only punch holes for weapons, but also inscribe them?

  It’s all superfluous functions anyway!

   The smarter little players think of the Alpha0.8 update.

   The industrial index of the outpost has increased by 100 points on the basis of 150 points, and it has become 250 points... That is to say, an increase of 166%?

   Doesn't that mean the weapon shop is getting a new one! ?

   Some small players who were relatively punished and happened to be at the outpost, excitedly took the steel ingots and went to the manager's assistant to inquire about the price according to the instructions on the announcement.

  Some wanted to make an axe, and some wanted to make a steel ingot look like a rifle, but in the end, most of them walked away cursing.

Why?

   Because it's not worth it at all!

   The startup cost of the machine tool is as high as 100 silver, and the processing price of an axe is as high as 100 silver, which adds up to 200 silver.

   With this money, it is enough to buy twenty axes! If it was wholesaled from the No. 81 steel mill, it is estimated that there is still some left.

   As for the rifle, the price of processing a rifled barrel is 200 silver, and the player must provide the rod-shaped steel.

  If not, plasma thermal welding is also required for operation, and the quotation is doubled directly.

   With this money, it is enough to buy two at the weapon store!

   But think about it, how can an ordinary rifle not use such an advanced machine tool, and the cost is completely uneconomical.

   At this time, in the No. 81 Steel Plant.

  【Aer, I want to use the toilet cable】, who was sitting on the small bench, touched his chin with one hand and held the steel ingot with the other, stared and pondered for a long time before he could say a word.

   "I speculate, that machine tool should be used to make production tools!"

   His good friend [Ward's athlete who Laiwen] rolled his eyes.

   "You still have to say that! Take tens of millions of CNC machine tools in the laboratory to mill seamless steel pipes. You can see that if your boss hammers you, you will be finished."

   Brother Toilet Suo: "Uh... I think he'll be frightened to call the police and send me in."

Brother Levine: "The cost of using this machine is a bit high. I don't think it is for individual players at all. The startup fee is 100 silver coins. Unless it is a company sponsored by the Refuge, the average self-employed is not enough! "

   Brother Toilet Susuo: "That's not necessarily, Brother Mosquito must be enough!"

  Brother Levin: "He won't say anything. Anyone who sees it will punish him. By the way, how much money do we have in our account?"

   Brother Toilet Susuo: "4000 silver...Before the newcomer came in and bought a lot of axes and arrows, why? Are you going to pay dividends?"

Brother Levine: "Spoiler! That's enough money to divide a yarn. I'm going to get a hot punching machine out. Those parts that couldn't be made before should be able to be machined with this machine. Wait for the punching. machine, we can make seamless steel pipes!”

   Hearing this, Brother Toilet Suo's eyes suddenly lit up.

   "Brother Niu! Let's go together!"

  Brother Levin rolled his eyes: "Don't be a bully, I'll be offline in a while, you go get the drawings and upload them, let's make it simpler, I guess it shouldn't be too expensive."

   Brother toilet cable hey hey.

   "Okay brother, this is exactly what I did at Bishe!"

  …

Just when Brother Levine and Brother Toilet Suo were discussing big plans, discussing how to make the seamless steel pipe industry bigger and stronger, and create brilliance in the wasteland, on the third floor of the sanatorium not far away, Xiao Qi raised the camera to see. He whispered to Chu Guang who was standing beside him.

   "Master, will the price you set be too expensive?"

   I said that there were more than a dozen individuals inquiring, but when I heard that the start-up fee was 100 silver coins, I was frightened and turned away immediately.

   It will cost 100 silver to start the machine, and this is it!

   Hearing Xiaoqi's suggestion, Chu Guang didn't take it seriously.

"It's not expensive at all, I even think it's cheap. They think it's expensive just because they don't understand the version deeply enough, which means they're not our target customers at all. If there's no threshold at all, God knows what drawings they'll get over here. , Do you want to use that thing to make a bunch of broken javelins and broken axes?"

   Go to Boss Xia for this kind of thing!

   The two workbenches in her place, one DIY and one picked up, can do this stuff.

  Xiaoqi pointed at the camera as if he didn't understand, and seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand. From its point of view, is it alright to not allow those things to be used to produce them, and to directly stipulate that they are not allowed to be used?

  Why go around in a circle and limit it with a "threshold".

  Chu Guang did not intend to explain to AI what he did, and the difference between human behavior logic and AI algorithms.

   What to say.

  Chu Guang doesn’t oppose players to play some bizarre ideas, but he needs to pass the restrictions of the rules, so that players can consider whether it is worthwhile to do so before they develop their ideas.

   As Xiaoqi himself said, this machine is not used to produce those rough things at all.

   Taking the AK47 he made earlier as an example, 6kg of steel made a 3kg workpiece, half of which were scraps of steel that had been cut into strange shapes, and could only be sent to the steel factory for refurbishment.

   In addition to this, there are also the power consumption and the inert gas that is naturally lost in use. These are all visible costs, not to mention those invisible hidden costs.

   The real use of this thing is to produce "tools for production", or to process some "high-tech value-added" high-precision equipment when materials are available.

  The latter is not considered for the time being, and the former is the main goal at this stage.

  Chu Guang planned to go step by step, first let his little players get a hot puncher and solve the problem of the barrel.

   For the time being, regardless of the complicated technologies of three-roll continuous rolling and centering and straightening, a piercing machine is enough to simply produce seamless steel pipes.

  Whether it can be produced in batches, efficiently, with high quality and quantity is something that will come later. You must first have the ability to produce before you can find ways to optimize it.

   In the future, seamless steel pipes will become the most important pillar industry of Vault 404.

   As for the craftsmanship of the receiver.

  Chu Guang hesitated for a while between the milling receiver and the stamping receiver, and finally chose the latter.

  Although the milling casing is more modern and has higher precision, the disadvantages are also obvious. It is a waste of materials, and the requirements for personnel and equipment are also high, and the production efficiency is even lower.

  For example, the AK47 he previously made with a machine tool is strictly a milling receiver, and even the barrel and the rifling in the barrel are cut by a single atomic knife.

   The stamping casing is different. Except for the more troublesome production of molds, the entire production process has almost no technical content, and the efficiency of mass production is particularly high.

The only disadvantage of    is the poor accuracy, but compared with its two advantages of cheapness and durability, this disadvantage is not a disadvantage at all, but a small flaw at most.

   After all, in this environment in the wasteland, the average fighting distance is less than 100 meters. No matter how accurate the shot is, it is not as fast and stable as the shot.

   Based on the stamping process, Chu Guang planned to design a 7mm caliber rifle directly by imitating the receiver of the AK.

Compared with the upper and lower receiver design of AR series rifles and the lock with seven shoots, AK's U-shaped receiver and lock with two shoots are more than double the difficulty of production, and the mold can even be directly punched with a whole piece of steel. come out.

  What is the concept of being able to punch out a whole piece of steel?

   It can be mass-produced like ink paper under a printer, and can be used with a barrel and a solid wood stock, which perfectly meets the combat needs in a wasteland environment.

   It's not without reason that this thing sells well in the third world.

  Especially in places where human life is not valuable, guns must be as cheap as possible.

   Would it be a waste to die?

  …

   The next day.

  The door of the weapon store was crowded with people. Last night, many small players ran back from the action camp, waiting for the weapon store to open.

   The yawning boss Xia has long been accustomed to this.

   As usual, she opened the store door on time. She took out the two samples that Chu Guang asked her to make yesterday, and hung them on the semi-open window.

   Those are two solid wood and pure steel rifles.

   One of them has a compact layout, the stock and magazine are standard assault rifle shapes, the top rail can be installed with sights, and the grip can be installed under the barrel.

  The other has a significantly longer barrel and receiver, and the magazine embedded in the gun body only shows a triangular outline, which looks slightly wider.

   What they have in common is that they both have rough appearance and atmospheric lines, and their appearance is extremely similar, like a good brother coming down an assembly line. Not only the appearance is similar, the names of the two guns are also very similar, the long one is called LD-47s, and the short one is called LD-47.

   In addition, they have a very coquettish nickname——

   Scythe!

   "Fuck, the weapon store is really new today! Elder Fang is awesome!"

   "I understand this! LD-47s should be snipers!"

   "Got it! It's 98K!"

   "98k ghosts! It's obviously a sniper!"

   "Wait, that short...how come I look more and more like AK?"

   "Be confident and get rid of your doubts. This operator is lazy again. 80% of them copied CF's skin directly!"

  The price of both guns is very cheap, the long one is 250 silver coins and the short one is 200 silver coins, which is only twice as expensive as the iron-barreled rifle!

   Now as long as you are an old player, who doesn't have two hundred silver coins in his pocket? Especially in the battle with the Legion, the basic income was 150 silver coins!

  Many people are still hesitating, and the fast-eyed tail has already shot.

   "Madam! Give me the whole one! I want the long tail! Sis the short one."

   Glancing at the short-haired female player, Xia Yan yawned and popped a few words out of her mouth.

   "Sample, not for sale. Want to buy, wait two days."

   Hearing this unskilled and standard Mandarin, the surrounding players were instantly stunned.

   I rely on?

  The lady boss not only changed her legs, but also updated the voice pack!

  Epic enhancement!

   When there was a commotion at the door of the weapon store, the industrial area to the south was equally lively.

  A lot of small professional players who have registered as self-employed people just went online and were about to get on a truck to go to the action camp to go to the market, when a bunch of orders popped up from the task bar of the VM.

   Some of them require the production of wooden buttstocks, and some require the production of grips, which are not very difficult, and it can even be said to have a hand.

  The slightly more difficult ones also require grinding lenses and optical sights. The types can be said to be varied.

   These tasks have one thing in common, that is, the rewards are quite generous, and due to the update of the Alpha0.8 version, the order has an additional 10% reward bonus!

   In addition, the first 100 orders of each product will have additional contribution points and regional reputation.

   If this is missed or human? !

   With such a generous reward, many young players who mainly focus on life occupations are instantly high. One by two, they picked up tools and rushed to work in their small workshops, wishing to weld their butts on the bench.

   Of course, compared to those self-employed people who do manual work, what is really cool is a "big producer" who invests in shelters.

   Early in the morning, the No. 81 Iron and Steel Factory in the outpost received an exclusive order - [produce 100 receivers and 100 barrels for the outpost]

  This order has clear requirements for the material, specification, size and even processing accuracy of the product, and the production is not easy.

   But it doesn't matter!

  The important thing is that the manager of Yingming Shenwu not only offered a generous price of 4,000 silver coins, but also paid 50% of the order in advance as a prepayment.

   The sudden "windfall", the smashed toilet cable and Levine brothers were confused.

  Although this money is in the business account, it is also money!

Stimulated by the order, the two of them, who were still a little hesitant, took 4,000 silver coins and a large amount of steel in the inventory, and went to the manager's assistant to customize a large number of parts, ready to go to work, stamping The punching machine for the barrel and the stamping die for making the receiver are finished.

   In addition, the 2,000 silver coins that had just arrived and had not been warmed up were paid in advance, and the two of them also smashed it in to release the scavenger task and order the raw materials needed for production.

  Although the steel mill’s account has not spent a cent left, the two of them didn’t feel anything wrong at all, but felt that the future was promising.

   On the surface, in order to complete this order, not only did they not make any money, but they also put money in their pockets.

   But can we just look at the surface?

   Of course not!

   These spent money did not disappear, but changed to a more advanced form and stayed with them forever.

  With the punching machine and the die for the punching receiver, they will be able to complete more orders, the cost of production will be further reduced, the efficiency will be further improved, and the snowball will be completely rolled.

   This wave is more than a loss.

   It's a win!

   Coincidentally, as the major shareholder of the steel plant, the manager of Yingming Shenwu also felt the same way.

   For Chu Guang, money or money is a trivial matter. The key is that such a wave of operations has not only greatly improved the production capacity of the steel plant, but also reduced the logistical pressure on the outpost.

   And what he paid was just a few thousand happy beans.

   This wave is probably not a win.

   It should be said that it is a win-win situation!

   After all he won twice.

   In addition to the gun itself, there are other accessories such as wooden butt, three-edged bayonet, magazine drum, bipod, optical sight, etc. Chu Guang intends to assemble them all.

   In the future, just by selling accessories and bullets, a lot of silver coins can be recovered, and the excess production capacity can even be dumped to the surrounding survivors, and even exported to Honghe Town and Boulder City.

  Chu Guang can be sure that as long as his weapons are cheap enough, those mercenaries and caravan guards who can't afford expensive weapons will definitely love themselves.

   "But...at that time, it's definitely not enough to use game coins as currency."

  This kind of game currency produced in the pre-war era, although its own production process is excellent and has a certain anti-counterfeiting ability, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the number is limited.

   Players can use electronic money, but those wastelanders don't admit to invisible things, they don't even believe in paper money.

   Besides, Chu Guang was not sure whether the businessman named Sun Shiqi had a hand, such as secretly hiding a bag of coins and not selling it to himself.

   This kind of thing is not impossible.

   Looking at the outpost industrial area that was in full swing and revived again, Chu Guang made up his mind silently in his heart.

   "The second generation of currency must be launched as soon as possible!"

   This work must be done before the end of winter.

  When winter is over, trade in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City will be active again. At that time, players will also usher in a more open, broader, and more challenging world.

   At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind, pulling Chu Guang's thoughts from afar back to the present.

  The fully armed Fang Chang nodded slightly and said respectfully: "Dear Manager, we are ready, when will we leave!"

   stood up from the chair, Chu Guang held the warhammer on the side, and hung it behind his back.

"Now."
