Wasteland Code Survival

"Yes, if you need it, we can also expand the production line. Based on the current remaining space in the base, it can be expanded to 96 production lines at most."

"96 production lines, which is four times the output, that is equal to 17,280 units per day..."

"However, in this case, the resources that need to be consumed are also an astronomical number. Steel, a relatively easy-to-obtain resource, is okay. As for those rarer resources, it is more troublesome. Moreover, we must open up several new ones. Channels, the existing channels alone cannot meet the resource throughput."

"Well, this is not in a hurry. Take it slowly. The existing 24 production lines will be enough for a long time in the future." Qi Lin naturally understood the reason why he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he played RTS instant Similar to a strategy game, even if a large number of barracks are built, without the support of sufficient resources, the explosives are nothing but a joke.

Led by Cooper's virtual image, Qi Lin bypassed the four mechanical corps factories and came to a large circular pit with a diameter of more than 100 meters.

This big hole was not absent when Qi Lin left last time. It was apparently newly dug up by Cooper in the past few months.

The four walls of the pit are all covered with metal plates, and two towering cooling towers stand on the side of the pit. From time to time, a large amount of white mist is ejected from the top of the cooling tower, and then it is sucked away by the blower.

"This is a'melting furnace'. We throw in the collected waste metals and separate them according to the melting points of different metals. There is a filtering device at the bottom of the melting furnace, and the molten steel will enter the processing directly along the pipe trough. In the factory, the remaining residues are collected and sent out of the base by garbage trucks."

"Then how many steel reserves do we have now?"

"Zero. The two cooling towers are only undergoing routine maintenance, and the melting furnace body is in a closed state."

"...In other words, as long as I throw in the rubbish in the ruins of the city, I can get high-purity steel, right?"

"It is best to carry out the preliminary sorting process first. If it is thrown directly into the furnace, too much impurities will increase the load of the furnace, consume more energy, and lose more than the gain." Cooper said seriously.

"On the opposite side of the melting pot is the weapon processing plant. Due to the lack of copper and lead, we are now using steel to make warheads and cartridge cases. Although this will wear out the barrel more severely than using copper cartridge cases, the penetration power can also be obtained. A certain degree of improvement."

In fact, before the war, most of the rifle bullets used by the Chinese army were steel-cored and steel-shelled. Compared with the copper-shelled lead-cored bullets, the biggest drawback of this type of bullet was its poor accuracy when firing at long distances. And after hitting the target, the stop function is not as good as the lead bullet.

However, in the wasteland environment, these two shortcomings are completely negligible-weapons like assault rifles pursue flexible mobility and continuous firepower, and the requirements for range and accuracy are not so high. The bullets of a sniper rifle will naturally not be the same as an assault rifle. As for the issue of stopping the function, let alone the problem of power armor and thick-skinned mutant creatures, if even the opponent’s armor or skin is If it can't be penetrated, don't talk about stopping the effect...

"By the way, Cooper, since the living quarters of base 404 have been demolished before, how many people can the entire base 404 now feed if people are to live?" Qi Lin asked.

Judging from the current situation in the wasteland world, it is very likely that there will be violent turbulence in the near future, and even a small steel city may be involved in this chaos sweeping the entire wasteland. There are too many people in the Mutual Aid Society, Qi Lin can't help everyone, but he can't just watch his friends and the Iron Cross hunting group fall into desperation and ignore them.

"I have reserved 15% of the residential area on the original basis. These areas can accommodate 200 people according to pre-war standards. If you are willing to squeeze, you can live with a thousand people.

"What about food supplies?"

"There are cloning laboratories, breeding farms, seed banks, and fungus cultivation factories in the base. The normal output can supply the consumption of less than 1,500 people, and each person can get 200 grams of fresh fruits and vegetables and 300 Kefei synthetic meat.” Cooper replied.

"Does this mean being completely cut off from the outside world?"

"Yes, but this state can only be maintained for 6 months. At this consumption rate, there will be some problems in the supply chain after six months. According to my calculations, after six months, only the supply of each person can be reduced to 100 Seventy percent, the weekly supply of vegetables, fruits and meat is changed to 50 grams and 100 grams. However, under this supply standard, the residents in the base must take synthetic preparations regularly to ensure that there will be no damage caused by malnutrition. Series of questions."

"This is already pretty good... at least, compared to... compared to the food served somewhere, these things can be regarded as plentiful." Qi Lin originally wanted to talk about the shelter, but thought of the Cooper meeting. Directly ignoring the refuge in the real world and preventing obstacles in communication with Cooper, Qi Lin simply referred to "somewhere" directly.

"However, even if the standards are compressed, it will not be possible to be completely self-sufficient. At most one year, the entire base's material reserves will be exhausted."

"If I want to use base 404 as a refuge, I can feed more than 1,000 people for a year and a half with only the available supplies, right?"

"To be precise, it can feed 1,500 people for one and a half years. If there are fewer than 1,500 people, it can be extended for a period of time."

"Enough, completely enough." After knowing those things, Qi Lin already understood that the conflict between humans and the mastermind is inevitable, and neither the organization nor the mastermind can drag on for another year. In other words, the lifespan of this game is likely to be less than one year, and within this year, the doors of the refuges around the world to the ground will also be opened in advance.

As long as it can last until that time, it will be enough...

The 404 base is a solid backing for Qi Lin, as well as a reliable retreat. Once something major happens in the wasteland world, Qi Lin can completely transform the 404 base into a "404 refuge" ".
