Chapter 96 New Gun
Qin Xiaochuan took Ah Hai to search for farther islands, one to collect more resources and also to open more treasure chests. Now, as soon as the weekly island survival competition is opened, his technological gap has been instantly narrowed a lot. He must unlock more technology to ensure his advantages.
The gunboat sailed on the sea for a day and a night, and Qin Xiaochuan sailed eastward for two hundred nautical miles, and finally found the supplies he wanted on several large islands.
On the slope of a large island, Qin Xiaochuan used his watch to find a large piece of rubber tree. He pulled a knife with a diagonal hole and immediately saw a large amount of latex seeped out. Qin Xiaochuan used an iron barrel to hold it, and each barrel could hold five portions.
Qin Xiaochuan also found rosin, colored cotton and quartz mines on several other islands, which are materials used to make chemical fibers and glass.
It took two days for Qin Xiaochuan to return to the island with five groups of materials each.
The materials in the chemical laboratory are manufactured one to one, and the manufacturing time is one hour. Latex is synthesized into rubber through smelting, while rosin and colored cotton are made into chemical fibers through spinning. Quartz ore is directly ground and mixed limestone is calcined.
"It's still a shortage of polymer coating..." Qin Xiaochuan opened his watch and searched. It turned out that jellyfish, sharks, and some large animals on land could extract animal glue.
"Jellyfish is simple!"
Every time the tide is high, Qin Xiaochuan will see some jellyfish with a light purple color and soft and sticky body near the beach and reef. However, that thing is not easy to work with, and you will be injured if you are not careful.
Qin Xiaochuan immediately ran to the beach with an iron bucket and a shovel, and indeed saw several. He put all these jellyfish into the bucket and sent them to the chemical laboratory. One jellyfish can extract an animal rubber, and once combined with rubber, it can make a polymer coating.
Qin Xiaochuan plans to make an M416 first. Although this gun is not as damaged as AK, its recoil and range are better than AK.
Thirty hours of manufacturing time are in the laboratory, and the old Mark and his title bonus can be made in just four and a half hours.
Qin Xiaochuan asked Wu Tiegang and Torre to cooperate with Lao Mark to create the M416. He wanted to increase the level of the M416, sell it to a higher price, and accumulate funds in a short period of time.
Since buying the Qianbird drone last time, Qin Xiaochuan has not only destroyed the Red Moon Pirates' Group branch, but also won the championship of this island survival competition, which makes him look forward to the second piece of technological equipment unlocked by Qingmangxing Technology.
The second piece of Qingmangxing's scientific equipment is called the Seal Patrol Boat. The seal patrol boat has a total length of 16 meters, a width of 3 meters, a height of 1.65 meters, a draft of 0.65 meters, a displacement of 8.5 tons, and a durability of 70,000. It has a range of 350 nautical miles, can withstand level 6 winds and waves, and a maximum speed of 60 knots, which means sailing 112 kilometers per hour. This patrol boat carries a double-mounted 12.7mm heavy machine gun, using standard machine gun bullets, and a single shot damage of 60 points.
Qin Xiaochuan didn't like anything else, but he just looked at the speed of the ship. The speed of 60 knots was twice that of Qin Xiaochuan's current gunboat. It took him eight or nine hours to travel to Nask Port 200 nautical miles. If he used this high-speed patrol boat to get there in about three hours in good weather. Such high speed was extremely beneficial for him to quickly search the major islands around him, but the price was quite touching, with two thousand gold coins, which was one thousand more expensive than the Thousand Bird drone.
While waiting for the birth of the first M416, Qin Xiaochuan took the time to look at the fishing ground built on the north of the exclusive island. The fishing ground used driftwood to float in shallow sea areas. The fine fishing nets made of ropes were kept in captivity, and the floating box was fixed under the seabed with bulky iron blocks, ensuring the stability under ordinary wind and waves.
There are not many fryes in the fishing ground at present. He has asked Buge to put the fry in when collecting the fish cage every day. He doesn't know what it can grow.
During the two days Qin Xiaochuan went to sea, the construction workshop and equipment workshop were also built one after another. He went to the construction workshop to check the manufacturing conditions of the protective wall. Each protective wall requires ten parts of steel bars and ten parts of concrete, and the manufacturing time is 1 hour.
In addition to the troublesome spots of steel bars, concrete is easy to solve. The steel bars are each for twenty minutes, and the Torre bonus is sixteen minutes.
Currently, all buildings are serving M416. Qin Xiaochuan temporarily puts the manufacturing of protective walls on the ground, but the time will not be delayed for too long. He plans to lay this kind of protective wall around the island, which can withstand storms and players' attacks to a certain extent, making the island safer.
However, this is a big project. Qin Xiaochuan had to do it himself when steel bars were not popular. It would not be completed in less than two or three months.
After lunch, the first M416 was born. Qin Xiaochuan took the black paint on the body from Mark's hand, and the butt stock and heat sink tube were bright silver assault rifles, and a delicate sense of technology arose naturally.
M416 [F-class assault rifle]: a conventional standard automatic rifle, with high accuracy and long range, and can be matched with a variety of accessories.
Damage: 32
Range: effective range 500 meters
Massage: 30
Mode: Single-shot/full-automatic
Durability: 100
Features: Extended plug-in bit 0/4
The power of the assault rifle's single-shot is almost approaching the Desert Eagle. The watch guide says that it can greatly improve stability and accuracy after being equipped with excellent components. In the single-shot mode, the accuracy can be compared with ordinary light sniper rifles.
This data is almost the same as the M416 currently sold in the market, which was produced in the Isle of Island Survival Competition. If there is no accessory bonus, it is probably difficult to sell at the price.
The AK and M416 on the market and some niche rifles have only been sold for two or three gold coins. The second week of the Isle of Island Survival Competition is about to begin. The price of the rifle is expected to fall, so he is only considering building a high-level assault rifle faster.
Qin Xiaochuan gave the rifle directly to Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao and several people in the tribe failed to survive the first round in the game last week. Ye Yuqiu survived to the second round. Lao Zhao's current technological development is relatively backward. He has been busy with his own affairs during this period, but he ignored him. Qin Xiaochuan is indeed very guilty.
"Old Qin, I thought you would abandon me when you took off!" Lao Zhao cursed, but he kept supporting himself in his heart. In the tribe, Ye Fanxing recruited several players with good technology and strength that he had just come in, but Lao Zhao used his vocal skills and got along with them in a few days.
Qin Xiaochuan said embarrassedly: "Old Zhao, I'm under great pressure now. Don't look at my technology point that is almost over 2,000, and it's more than 1,000 points higher than the second-place Shuhe, but the actual technology level has not been much distance. I have been looking for breakthrough points during this period, and it depends on you for the tribe."
