Chapter 73: The Hidden Legend of the Weapons World(1/2)
The main economy of the fifty-six fortresses in China comes from the miners at the bottom.
They take the lowest reward and create the greatest value.
But no one has any complaints, because talent in this era determines everything. When mining at the bottom, the right and wrong talents can survive as abandoned people.
Although the operation of the bottom layer is the same, each fortress actually has its own tilt in certain areas.
For example, the Thirty-Nine Fortress emphasizes comprehensiveness and comprehensive development. The Second Fortress is committed to the third service industry.
The Fifty-first Fortress that Tang Xian and his party were about to go to was the Heavy Industry Fortress.
Except for the similar first floor, from the second floor to the fourth floor, most street industries in the Fortress are weapons processing.
This is also why the best weapon designers want to go to Fort Fifty-one.
Because this represents the ultimate of this field.
On the way to Fort Fifty-one, Tang Xian silently calculated the design of the next weapon.
Li Zheng was a chatterbox and kept looking for topics. For example, the girl Akas was carrying, such as who is the masked swordsman.
Thanks to Li Xiaoyu's confidentiality work, Tang Xian has the power to surpass Eve, and only Li Xiaoyu and Eve know about it.
In Li Zheng's eyes, Tang Xian is the intelligent brain and eyes of a team.
Akas is an assassin, and the masked swordsman is a warrior.
Regarding the tragic situation that occurred in the evolutionary area of the Second Fortress, since all the surveillance videos were destroyed, the Qi family and Li Zheng investigated the whole story and could only learn some confessions.
The experiments provided by the guards from the evolutionary zone are mostly crazy and their confessions are unreliable, while the guards' confessions are surprisingly consistent.
Li Zheng and Qi Xun were convinced that everything was done by Mask Cookie and Akas and the No. 19 experimental subject.
It can also be seen from the blood stains on Akas' body that he experienced a great battle.
Among everyone's confession, the strongest monster was the masked swordsman, which made Li Zheng even more interested. The topic kept raising the topic on this person.
Tang Xian’s answer was that I don’t know, I don’t know this person.
Akas kept silent.
Li Zheng was bored and found that the two of them had a tight mouth, so they couldn't ask anything.
However, Li Zheng has already confirmed that the incident of falling into the evolution zone is not a large-scale collision of people, but a small team battle.
No top leaders of such a team would refuse. Li Zheng's attitude towards Acas is always kind.
Akas was always cold, as the rumor said, silver-haired god of death.
Tang Xian stared out the window.
He only saw the scene outside the vehicle once, but it still had a great sense of novelty.
The wreckage of the entire city is shattered, exuding the desolation of the doomsday.
The huge iron tower, the track trains covered with plants, the congested and dead streets are no longer able to identify the huge billboards with handwriting.
The building still maintains its original square shape, like erected coffins.
Tang Xian knew that there were no humans outside and those plants were growing wildly. He was very curious. Hundreds of years have passed, but can't survive outside the pyramid?
Seeing that Tang Xian was a little confused, Li Zheng said:
"The place we flew by now is a city called Xianghai. Speaking of which, this city is the first to respond to the catastrophe."
Tang Xian nodded and said in accordance with Li Zheng's words:
"They had already established refuges underground. The large number of refuges have allowed the city to persist for the longest time. There is also a network of passages between the refuges and the refuges. They were the first to suppress the chaos caused by the catastrophe. After the pyramid appeared, the people who most resisted entering the pyramid were also the people who came into the pyramid.
But staying in the pyramid is the general trend. Although shelter has escaped disasters on the ground, it cannot change a fact, food reserves.
There is a large amount of food reserves in the pyramid, just like the initial supplies for human civilization to develop, like a game called the Age of Empires.
As for the food in the shelter, how can we persist in living for ten or eight years? In the end, because of the food, several chaos broke out. After the chaos, people were unwilling to live too barbaric and could only enter the pyramid.
History records outside the pyramids, and finally here, they were the last group of humans outside the pyramids and eventually entered the pyramids."
Li Zheng didn't expect Tang Xian to know so much about history.
"Do you know anything about the catastrophe itself?" Tang Xian asked.
"I really can't know this. I've been as curious as you, but don't talk about me, my old people don't know it in the rest of their lives." Li Zheng shook his head.
Tang Xian was not surprised.
Regarding the records of missing history, the causes and processes of the catastrophe, I think it is true that Li Xiaoyu said, and I have to look for it at a higher level in the pyramid.
...
...
Fifth floor of Fortress, House of Daedalus.
The best treatment that weapons designers pursue is to be able to work in the House of Daedalus.
All the weapons designed here are praised and recognized by hunters and regular soldiers.
Most of the Daedalus House are old scholars, and there are some young people, but there are only a few twenty-four-year-olds like Ke Ye.
In the long table conference room, Ke Ye and several of his peers sat in a relatively back seat.
At the forefront is Li Zhenjiang, the largest veteran in the weapon design industry and known as the father of postmodern weapons.
Although many weapon designers have their own works in designing guns, swords, etc., they have made micro-innovations from Li Zhenjiang's works without exception.
Also included Ke Ye.
However, Li Zhenjiang still admires Ke Ye very much. It is difficult to transcend the design of weapons in terms of shape. The biggest change is of course, we still have to seek breakthroughs and innovations in the use of materials.
Ke Ye submitted a new plan this time.
It was also because the performance of this new alloy formula was too excellent, which shocked a group of veterans.
These newborn calves are about to launch a revolution in the weapons world.
At this moment, a group of people are discussing whether to make the recipe public.
"I don't agree with open source. This recipe should be used for my 51 fortresses. Now that each fortress is competing, everyone wants to break through the seventh floor as soon as possible. We have the advantage of weapons, which is the most likely to break through the seventh floor after the fortress of the Li family, Song family and Qi family."
The first speaker was an old scholar in the weapons industry, named Wang Qi, who was 62 years old, and he devoted his life to casting.
But in the past, he looked down on young young people. Although Ke Ye brought revolutionary recipes today, he still tried his best to pick on them.
Li Zhenjiang looked at the younger one again.
Ke Ye and his group didn't speak, but Zhang An, who supervised the manufacturing of weapons.
As a peacemaker, his remarks today are different from those in the past.
"I want to ask, Xiao Ke, did you think of this recipe yourself? Any reform should be done slowly. Do you have a better solution?"
Although young people like Ke Ye are the top weapons designers in the country, they rarely have the power to speak in the House of Daedalus.
At this moment, the eyes were focused on this young man, Ke Ye said:
"This alloy formula is not what I think. The reason why it was announced was to improve the strength of the human camp as much as possible before the battle in the Yopera Plain began. Every point of improvement can reduce human casualties. Since it is a joint development of all mankind, I think there is no need to hide it at this time."
Zhang An felt it was reasonable, but he still said:
"Haha, it's not easy for young people to have a mind, but I only agree with half of this. Let me tell you my opinion. In recent years, there are twelve fortresses in Japan led by Tianshou Pavilion Fortress in Japan, and they all have their own ulterior motives. They all master the technology of each company.
For example, in the armor lineage, the armor of Tianshou Pavilion Fortress is much better than us in terms of lightness and defensive performance. In the thermal weapon lineage, Lincoln Fortress is much stronger than us.
If people's hearts are not as good as the past, it is difficult to achieve absolute consistency even when it comes to external factors. This formula technology can allow our hunters to lead them by an era in weapons and equipment and make up for some gaps. When it is implemented by the whole country, it is not advisable to pass on foreign countries."
The meeting is generally like this, radical, conservative, and each has some compromises. In the end, Li Zhenjiang has to make the decision.
But at this time, Ke Ye said:
"We are the Fifty-One Fortress, and the weapons we produce are the best in the world. It is true that the industries of Lincoln Fortress and Tianshou Pavilion Fortress are not weak, but how can we compare with us? Once they master this recipe, will we make better ones?"
There was an uproar, and this was too arrogant. Li Zhenjiang didn't say anything, Ke Ye continued:
"This recipe was just given to me by a friend. I asked him what he meant. He asked me to deal with it at will. Since it was as good as I could, the bento should follow my thoughts."
Ke Ye did not give in. Although even the younger generation did not agree with his ideas, he confronted those self-righteous old scholars and let them instinctively support Ke Ye.
Wang Qi sneered:
"I think it was designed by you myself, so arrogant. The weapon design is the same as the use of weapons. There are people outside of people and there are people outside of them. Since this formula does not come from you, then I would like to ask that senior, you are a young boy, what qualifications are you to talk nonsense?"
Li Zhenjiang also said:
"Comrade Xiao Ke, you said that this alloy formula was given by a friend. Judging from the formula, he has a high understanding of the metal industry. I wonder which master he is? This can be regarded as a hidden legend in the weapon world."
Ke Ye wanted to laugh a little. The old man Wang Qi looked down on young people the most, and always felt that young people were impetuous.
I always say in a tone of a person who has experienced it, why can’t the 90s do now? What’s the bad thing for the post-00s today? How can the post-00s today be useless?
This kind of person has always been there, and I wonder how he would react after seeing Tang Xian.
Ke Ye said:
"So, what I say doesn't count, it's up to me if the owner of the recipe says?"
