Chapter 938: Seeking skin from a tiger, a powerful muzzleloader!(1/2)
"What do you mean, they are willing to meet with us?"
Liu Lu shivered and quickly stood up beside the bed, a glimmer of hope rising on his decadent face.
Over the long years, Pingtan Shelter has gradually moved from a free management structure to a rigid family model.
Although the manager who founded the shelter more than two hundred years ago had already set up the continuous downward progression in advance.
One is to prevent the problem of deformed offspring due to incest marriages within the entire shelter.
The second is to prevent similar families from supporting each other and turning the shelter into a privatized product.
But there is no way, human nature is like this.
The total population of Pingtan Shelter now totals 64,000, and they are basically related to each other.
Jin Dafa's uncle is the material manager on the B-14 floor.
If the source of supplies cannot be found as soon as possible, once this guy and his uncle ask for help, it will be too easy to support a month's worth of tasks given the abundance of supplies on each level below.
They must collect the supplies in advance before they are ready, in order to win this cruel battle for status!
"They are willing to agree with us on a time and the location. They are more sincere than before."
"In addition, they agreed to the conditions we proposed before, but they hope"
"We can fulfill it as quickly as possible."
"accepted?"
Liu Lu touched the back of his head in confusion.
Five tons of food can not only complete the mission requirements for the next month, but even the next month is not a problem.
Where did such a group of bold and mysterious people come from in Qinggang City?
Could it be that people from other shelters want to infiltrate themselves into the Pingtan shelter?
All kinds of thoughts popped up in Liu Lu's mind, making him suddenly at a loss.
But no matter what, the other party has indeed agreed to fulfill my request, including making it clear during the meeting that I can decide the time and place.
In the post-war world, this was the greatest sincerity, and it was almost impossible to show it between strangers.
"Then meet them!"
Liu Lu gritted his teeth and touched the pistol hanging on his waist.
"What about what they want?" Lao Lu nodded and brought the topic back.
"Last time we went to B-5 and B-6 to steal. Well, we went to borrow their materials. If we weren't lucky, we almost got caught. This time we are going to the B-8 floor to borrow their machine tools. These people
I won’t agree to it casually.”
“No, we don’t borrow their machine tools”
Liu Lu shook his head slightly.
"Aren't our machine tools empty? Let's find a way to trade with them."
"Are you crazy?"
Lao Lu's eyes widened.
Each floor of the Pingtan Shelter has certain industrial and agricultural capabilities. Based on the flow and accumulation of people, the lower the floor, the deeper the accumulation.
Over the long years, there are only three machine tools on the B-7 floor, two of which are still broken. Only the last one is left that can manufacture parts for repairing exoskeleton guns and a small number of tools.
If this thing is traded, wouldn't it mean that the next floor B-7 can only buy it from other floors?
In addition, the machine tools are the common property of all residents on the entire seventh floor.
If someone discovers it, the consequences will be much more serious than stealing from other floors!
"Lao Lu, you know."
"As long as I can win this game and become the floor leader, no one on the entire seventh floor will know that we lost a machine tool. We will have a long time to find opportunities to fill this vacancy."
"If I can't win, leave it to Jin Dafa?"
Liu Lu paused and repeated what he said before.
"Meet them tonight, the location is set."
Looking at the surrounding map hanging on the wall, Liu Lu focused his attention on a hidden building ruins in the western suburbs.
This was a place he often went to play when he was a child. The pipelines under the ruins were intricately distributed.
If the other party gets angry, he is absolutely confident that he can escape!
"Come and live! Come and live!"
"I can finally go out and fight. I haven't been on the battlefield yet!"
"Gan! Why are you so excited? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
"I'm afraid of a hammer. It's not like I've never killed a foreigner before. Those things are quite stupid."
"But Captain Feng didn't say he was going to fight aliens?"
"Not an alien race? Wouldn't it be simpler? There are human groups in this wasteland that are more powerful than us?"
"That's right"
Inside the restructured Tianyuan Military Camp.
More than a hundred people were quickly checking their equipment and weapons and putting on equipment for night combat.
The lively look didn't make it look like he was going out to fight with people, but more like he was going to participate in some activity.
In particular, there were a few special torturers who took out a lot of hand-processed gadgets from their own small warehouse and put them all in their backpacks, planning to verify their power at night.
I don’t know where the doomsday madman heard the news about the military operation that night.
At the entrance of the military camp, a large vehicle mounted on a cart was pushed in.
"Holy shit! Is this a muzzleloader?"
A knowledgeable soldier opened his eyes wide and was stunned when he looked at the thick barrel of the car.
The muzzle-loading gun was the main artillery of the black powder period. From its invention in the mid-16th century to the mid-19th century, it played a vital role in the history of world wars.
The shape of the entire gun is a cone, which gradually becomes thicker from the muzzle to the breech. The barrel is cylindrical and consists of accessories such as lugs and tail buttons.
This kind of big thing that is inconvenient to move is usually pulled by a special gun truck and fired using a fire gate ignition method.
First, the powder package is sent from the muzzle to the bottom of the breech. The gunner then uses a sharp object such as a wire to pierce the medicine package in the barrel from the fire door, pours the ignition powder from the fire door, and finally ignites and fires.
In terms of power, although the muzzleloader cannon is not as good as those modern large-caliber cannons, it can flatten hundreds of square meters with one shot.
But at this time, looking at the solid iron ball cannonball on the car behind me that is bigger than a human head
"Can this thing destroy an entire bungalow?"
Upon hearing this, the apocalyptic madman was immediately overjoyed and clung to him as if he had found a close friend.
"Brother, do you know your stuff?"
"I understand a little bit." The nuclear rifle shook his head humbly, his eyes still fixed on this powerful cannon.
"To be honest, I haven't tested the power of this thing very much. The previous few shots were all used to hit open areas. How about you help me test the power tonight?"
"let me try?"
The nuclear rifle's eyes widened, with a look of surprise on his face.
However, before he could continue, Feng Tianmin followed the sound and walked over, and was also startled.
"Damn it, since when did the territory have cannons?"
"Ah, it's the Feng Brigade!" The doomsday madman scratched his head and quickly took out a piece of paper from his arms: "This is the test order that the village chief and I applied for. Our first-generation powerful cannon has passed the basic test. Next, we need to
See its power on the battlefield."
"I was wondering if there was something going on tonight, so I just took it out."
"What are you taking? We're just going to Zhuangzhuang tonight. We're not really going to fight with anyone tonight. Let's take this thing back first." Feng Tianmin almost leaked the plan and quickly changed his words:
"And the director also said that we can't cause any noise tonight. If this guy really fires, I'm afraid it can be heard clearly for several kilometers."
"Just bring it with you, what if something happens?"
The doomsday madman still persuaded with some reluctance.
But no one noticed that a group of people walking past from a distance had frightened expressions on their faces when they saw this.
"What are they going to do?"
"Cannon! That's a cannon!"
"There are people who are willing to provoke these lunatics. I'm really tired of living."
"Who are they going to fight? Qinggang City? Have looters discovered Hope Village?"
Looking at the military camp from a distance, Huang Xiong showed a hint of fear on his face.
