Where to go

On the other side, Lu captain and others are located, has not far from the letter city.

At base

It's all peaceful.

But in this peace, Li Yu is also thinking about how the base should develop in the future.

In this last age, the weak is the original sin, and the strong is the hard truth.

No one will talk to you about morality, rule of law, relationship, only if the fist is hard enough, you can have confidence.

The pre-apocalyptic set of connections, power, money, has now become useless.

The communication between people has become more realistic, somewhat cold, but the dialogue is very efficient.

No one talks about ideals and freedom, no one talks about dreams and the future, because in this end-time, it is already a blessing to live until tomorrow and to be able to eat a full meal.

There are now 70 men on the base, and there are more than 60 combat-ready men and women.

This figure has roughly reached the expected scale in Li Yu's mind.

He had also thought about expanding the number of people, but before the rebirth, he had seen too many large gatherings, because of food problems, internal conflicts eventually broke out, management was extremely difficult, and finally fell apart.

In the fifth year before he was reborn, there were almost no large gathering places, because he could not afford to keep them.

Under the dual threat of natural disasters and zombies, there are all kinds of uncertainties.

He's been there, and it looks like a very powerful gathering place, tens of thousands of people!

But because of a snowstorm, the freezing, the crops freeze, followed by the storm, the zombie wave.

Food crisis, too many people inside, extremely difficult to manage, different people, and finally, collapse!

There is no complete egg under the nest.

That time, he almost died, too.

Later, he did not join a large gathering place, because a large gathering place, although it means more powerful, but also means that if there is a problem, but can not solve the day, it will be more miserable.

But.

If you don't make the base bigger, it also means that the number of people is small, perhaps with the advantage of the first opportunity, grab some guns, but after all, the bullets will run out. It's not a long-term solution.

However, if we want to expand the group size, we also face the biggest problem: food!

He also thought about building a strong team, recruiting talent, building factories, developing technology. But to do these things, you need people, and you need to find those people.

This is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Let's take the simplest example. Making guns and bullets. Bullets alone are enough.

The manufacture of bullets belongs to stamping, which requires a large number of molds, and the specific size of the molds is confidential, generally speaking, the workshop does not have such conditions. If you want to build your own bullets, you have to overcome the problem of mold size control.

Talk about guns!

The gun structure can be disassembled into the stock, magazine, barrel, magazine, piston, gun, needle, gauge, target, trigger, magazine, grip, gun rod, reentry spring, piston barrel, pilot hole, trigger stop, bullet in the chamber, muzzle brake, magazine kay and safety stop iron and other parts!

Among them, the most difficult is the "gun barrel"!

The barrel, as an important component of the gun, goes straight through the chamber.

On the battlefield, when the bullet is fired, the expanding gas generated by the gunpowder explosion or air pressure will push the bullet through the barrel, becoming a high-speed projectile and finally achieving the target of the enemy.

If the trigger is pulled, the high kinetic energy bullet can not smoothly slide out of the barrel, it will cause a "bore explosion", which is potentially fatal!

In order to ensure good hardenability, hardenability and processing performance, it is also required that the grain size of the material must reach 4-6 and the organization is uniform!

After solving the material problem, we also need to face the fine and strict production process test of the barrel! Not only did a great deal of detail need to be considered, such as firing pins and linkage points, but fine rifling lines had to be pulled out of the inside of the barrel, which was inherently thin.

Rifling, so to speak, is the soul of the barrel! Because it is it that gives the warhead the rotating force, so that after the bullet is out of the chamber, it can still maintain the direction of the target!

If it is only to create some simple, it also needs a lot of processes, before the end of the world may be able to buy some parts, can be assembled.

But now in the last days, it is a wasteland, without complete parts, and it is only made by itself. It's too difficult.

In order to develop these things, we must have professional talents, and the number of them will inevitably increase.

Scale is the only way to stand up and do it. Some people need to protect, some people grow crops, and some people specialize in scientific research and production.

But it's stuck in a loop.

Too many people - natural disasters, zombie waves, all kinds of accidents, insufficient food, easy to lead to collapse.

Too few people - no scale, too few talent, not enough strength to resist.

Whether there are too many people or too few people, it seems that they will eventually perish.

This last age is too unfriendly for mankind.

In this last era, there are not only zombies, but also the advantages he has are the skills of rebirth and the advantages of prophets.

No powers, no systems, yes, he's just fierce enough!

Kill to kill! Awestruck!

However, with the passage of time, not only he is tough enough, the people who survive, which is not a tough role.

This problem still troubles Li Yu.

His original idea was not to have too many people, but he planted farmland in the back base and found that he could support some more people, and then accepted more people in.

These are people who went through a lot of screening before they were admitted.

At present, these people who have joined in are still satisfied with Li Yu.

Standing on the base wall looking at the distant mountain Li Yu, feeling gradually less hot.

A breeze blew and Li Yu heard footsteps next to him.

He's a second uncle.

The second uncle looked at him and then stood beside him without speaking.

Lit a cigarette.

After a puff, let the wind blow smoke, half sound.

Second uncle said: "Xiao Yu, sometimes, you can put your thoughts or concerns, communicate with us more, don't hold it alone."

Li Yu nodded silently and said after a few seconds of silence: "The base is now inevitably exposed." I have no regrets about the people I killed, but the development of the base, I have been worried. With the large number of people, management is necessarily difficult, and food has become a biggest problem. But with few people, it is difficult to survive in these last days."

Second uncle pondered for a while and said directly: "What is there to tangle with, then carefully select partners, control a certain number of people, in a range that we can bear not good?"

Li Yu heard these words, with the feeling of pushing away the clouds, the situation is confused, and he is always entangled in the problem, being said by the second uncle, as if it is not a big problem.

That's right! Since the number of people is not easy to manage, can not afford to support, then carefully select useful people, join the good?
