MTL - Pretend To Be a Boss-Chapter 73 Hidden legends in the world of weapons
Chapter 73 Hidden Legends in the Weapon World
The fifty-six fortresses of Huaxia Kingdom, the main source of the economy comes from the miners at the bottom.
They take the lowest remuneration and create the greatest value.
But no one will complain, because talent determines everything in this era. Mining at the bottom is the way for non-talented people to survive as abandoned people.
Although the underlying operations are the same, each bastion actually has its own tilt in certain areas.
For example, Fortress Thirty-Nine pays attention to comprehensiveness and comprehensive development. The second bastion is devoted to the tertiary service industry.
The Fifty-One Fortress that Tang Xian and his party are about to go to is a heavy industry fortress.
Except for the first floor, which is similar with minor differences, from the second floor to the fourth floor, most of the street industries in Fort 51 are weapon processing.
This is also the reason why the best weapon designers all want to go to Fort 51.
Because this represents the acme of this field.
On the way to Fort 51, Tang Xian silently calculated the design of the next weapon.
And Li Zheng is a chatterbox, constantly looking for topics. For example, the **** Akas' back, who is the masked chopper man, etc.
Thanks to Li Xiaoyu's secrecy work, only Li Xiaoyu and Eve know that Tang Xian has the power to surpass Eve.
In Li Zheng's eyes, Tang Xian is the brain and eyes of a team.
Akas is an assassin, and Masked Chopper is a warrior.
Regarding the tragedy that happened in the evolution zone of the second fortress, all the surveillance videos were destroyed, so the members of the Qi family and Li Zheng went to investigate the incident, and they could only get some confessions.
Provided by the guards from the evolution area. Most of the experimental subjects were crazy, their confessions were not credible, and the confessions of the guards were surprisingly consistent.
Li Zheng and Qi Xun were convinced that everything was done by Masked Chopper Man, Akas and Subject No. 19.
It can also be seen from the blood on Akas that he has gone through a big battle.
Among all the confessions, the strongest monster is the Masked Chopper, which made Li Zheng even more interested. The topic has been drawn to this person.
Tang Xian's answer is I don't know, I don't know this person.
Akas also kept silent.
Li Zheng made fun of himself, and found that the two men's mouths were tight, so they couldn't ask anything.
However, Li Zheng was convinced that it was not a collision of large numbers of people, but a small team battle.
Such a team, no high-level fortress will refuse. Li Zheng's attitude towards Akas has always been kind.
Akas has always been cold, as the rumors say, a silver-haired **** of death.
Tang Xian stared out the window.
He has only seen the scene outside the vehicle once, and he still has a great sense of novelty.
The wreckage of an entire city after it was torn apart, revealing the desolation of the doomsday.
Huge iron towers, rail trains covered with plants, congested and dead streets, and huge billboards whose handwriting is no longer recognizable.
The building still maintains its original square shape, like coffins erected one after another.
Tang Xian knew that there were no human beings outside, and those plants were growing uncontrollably. He was very curious. Hundreds of years have passed, is there still no way to survive outside the pyramid?
Seeing that Tang Xian was in a daze, Li Zheng said:
"The place we are flying over now is a city called Xianghai. Speaking of which, this city is also the first to respond to the catastrophe."
Tang Xian nodded and followed Li Zheng's words:
"They have already established refuges underground. A large number of refuges make this city last the longest. There is also a network of channels between refuges. They were the first to suppress the chaos brought about by the catastrophe. After the pyramid appeared However, the people who are most against entering the pyramid are also the people of this city.
But staying in the pyramid is the general trend. Although the shelter has escaped the disaster on the ground, it cannot change the fact that food is stored.
There is a large amount of food reserves in the pyramid, just like the initial supplies for the development of human civilization, very much like a game called Age of Empires.
And the food in the shelter lasted for three to five years, how could it last for ten or eight years? In the end, because of the food, chaos broke out several times. After the chaos, people didn't want to live too savagely, so they could only enter the pyramid.
History’s records outside the pyramid end here. They are the last group of humans outside the pyramid, and finally entered the pyramid. "
Li Zheng didn't expect Tang Xian to know so much about history.
"Do you know anything about the catastrophe itself?" Tang Xian asked.
"It's really impossible to know. I was as curious as you, but let alone me, the elders in my family don't know." Li Zheng shook his head.
Tang Xian was not surprised.
Regarding the lack of records in history, the antecedents and process of the catastrophe, as Li Xiaoyu said, it must be found in a higher level of the pyramid.
…
…
The fifth floor of Fortress Fifty-One, the House of Daedalus.
The best treatment a weapon designer can seek is to be able to work in the House of Daedalus.
The weapons designed here are all respected and recognized by hunters and regular soldiers.
Most of the Daedalus House is full of old scholars, and there are some young people, but there are only a few people like Ke Ye who are twenty-four years old.
In the long-table meeting room, Ke Ye and several of his peers were sitting relatively at the back.
At the forefront is Li Zhenjiang, the biggest veteran in the weapon design industry, known as the father of post-modern weapons.
Many weapon designers have their own works in the design of firearms, swords, etc., but without exception, they made micro-innovations from Li Zhenjiang's works.
also includes Ke Ye.
But Li Zhenjiang still admires Ke Ye very much. The shape design of the weapon is already difficult to be detached. The biggest change, of course, is to seek breakthroughs and innovations in materials.
Ke Ye submitted a new proposal this time.
It is also based on the excellent performance of this new alloy formula, which shocked a group of veterans.
These newborn calves are going to set off a revolution in the weapons industry.
At this moment, a group of people are discussing whether to make this formula public.
"I don't agree with open source. These recipes should be for my own use in the fifty-one fortress. Now that various fortresses are competing, everyone wants to break through the seventh floor as soon as possible. We have the advantage of weapons, which is the most likely. After the Li family, the Song family, and the Qi family After the fortress, break through the seventh floor."
The first speaker was an old scholar in the weapons industry, named Wang Qi, sixty-two years old, who had devoted his whole life to casting.
It's just that in the past, he looked down on young people. Although Ke Ye brought a revolutionary formula today, he still tried his best to criticize it.
Li Zhenjiang looked at the younger group again.
The group of Ke Ye did not speak, but Zhang An, who supervised the manufacture of weapons, spoke.
As a peacemaker, his remarks today are different from those in the past.
"I want to ask, Xiao Ke, did you come up with this recipe yourself? Any reform should be done slowly. Do you have a better plan?"
The young people like Ke Ye, although they are all the top weapons designers in the country, they rarely have the right to speak in the House of Daedalus in terms of seniority.
At this moment, his eyes were focused on this young man, and Ke Ye said:
"This alloy formula is not what I thought. The reason why I announced it is to improve the strength of the human camp as much as possible before the battle on the Jopela Plain. Every improvement can reduce human casualties. Since it is The joint development of all mankind, I think at this time, there is no need to hide it."
Zhang An thought it was reasonable, but still said:
"Haha, it's not easy for young people to be open-minded, but I only agree with half of this. Let me tell you my opinion. Over the past few years, Fort Lincoln, as well as the twelve forts headed by the Castle Tower in Japan, each have their own ulterior motives. , They all master the technology of each company.
For example, in the line of armor, the armor of the castle tower fortress is much better than ours in terms of lightness and defensive performance. In terms of thermal weapons, Fort Lincoln is much stronger than us.
People’s hearts are not ancient, and it is difficult to achieve absolute consistency even with the outside world. This formula technology can allow our hunters to be an era ahead of them in terms of weapons and equipment, and make up for some gaps. It should be implemented throughout the country, but it should not be spread to other countries. "
The meeting is roughly like this, with radicals, conservatives, and compromises. In the end, it was up to Li Zhenjiang to make up his mind.
At this moment, Ke Ye said:
"We are Fortress 51. The weapons we produce are the best in the world. It is true that the industries of Fort Lincoln and Castle Tower are not weak, but how can they compare with us? They have mastered this formula, and we will make it again. Wouldn't it be better?"
There was an uproar, these words were too arrogant. Li Zhenjiang didn't speak, Ke Ye continued:
"This formula was just given to me by a friend. I asked him what he meant, and he let me dispose of it as I wish. Since it is up to me, it should be done according to my ideas."
Ke Ye didn’t back down. Although even the younger generation didn’t fully agree with his ideas, the group of self-righteous old scholars made them instinctively support Ke Ye.
Wang Qi sneered:
"I think you designed it yourself, so arrogant. The design of weapons is the same as the use of weapons. There are people outside the world, and since this formula didn't come from you, then invite that senior, you brat, What right do you have to talk nonsense?"
Li Zhenjiang also said:
"Comrade Xiao Ke, you said that this alloy formula was a gift from a friend. Judging from the formula, his understanding of the metal industry is quite high. Who is the master? This can be regarded as a hidden legend in the weapon world. "
Ke Ye wanted to laugh a little, Wang Qi, the old man, usually looks down on young people the most, and always thinks young people are impetuous.
I always use the tone of someone who has experienced it, saying, 90 today, why can't it work. Today's post-00s are so bad, and today's post-10s are so useless.
There have always been people like this. I don't know how he will react when he sees Tang Xian.
Ke Ye said:
"So, what I say doesn't count, but what the owner of the formula says counts?"
Wang Qi said:
"You might as well call this senior to the Daedalus House. I believe he can't be as naive as you young people. How can good things be given to outsiders!"
Li Zhenjiang shook his head and said:
"Since the expert has said that everything is left to Xiao Ke to arrange, it should be arranged by Xiao Ke, but if possible, Xiao Ke, I also hope that you can remind the expert to let him understand that this formula is important for the future weapon industry. And even the impact on the balance of power among countries."
Ke Ye still obeyed Li Zhenjiang, Zhang An also agreed, Wang Qi had nothing to say,
Ke Ye nodded and said: "He will arrive at Fort Fifty-one in the afternoon, and I will bring him to see you tomorrow."
Everyone was overjoyed, they had been working **** weapons for a long time, and naturally they wanted to get to know these people, so the meeting came to an end.
The rest gradually left, Ke Ye tidied up the notes on the table, Zhang An said at this time:
"Xiao Ke, do I take care of you on weekdays?"
"Brother Zhang, do you want to ask if the formula has been revealed?"
Zhang An was taken aback, Ke Ye is quite smart.
"Come on, talk while walking, tell me the truth, is there any possibility of further improvement of this formula?"
Ke Ye thought about it, this group of people is actually for the sake of the national interest, and people in the weapons supervision department have to deal with it frequently, so it is best to make friends, so he said:
"To tell you the truth, this is a confession, but it doesn't count."
"What's the meaning?"
"The formula is indeed the best alloy formula I can master so far. I don't have any reservations, and I don't have any private goods in my hand. All of them are disclosed."
Zhang An asked:
"Then why don't you say it's not a confession?"
"Because my friend can think of things that I can't think of. He must have a stronger alloy making formula in his hand."
"There are such strange people in our circle?"
"He doesn't make weapons. Part-time jobs don't even count. It's just because of his interest. I don't know what his job is. Let's just treat it as a mining man. You will know tomorrow."
Ke Ye smiled, always felt that saying that this might be someone’s casually thought up formula for killing pigs would hurt them too much, so he left without saying more.
Leaving Zhang An with an unbelievable expression under the tree.
…
…
Ke Ye was right. In a sense, Tang Xian was a low-level employee who didn't even receive a diploma.
After arriving at Fort 51, Tang Xian did not delay, he had already contacted Ke Ye. Little things have been taken care of.
Accompanied by Li Zheng, the group entered the fifth floor without encountering obstacles.
After passing through countless weapon houses whose scale and technology far surpassed Liu Lang's blacksmith shop, Tang Xian met Ke Ye.
He is 1.7 meters tall, with a slight rickety at a young age. The skin is also darker than before, not so fair anymore. Not as cowardly as before, but with a little perseverance.
Tang Xian thinks it's pretty good, this is a trace of a person's growth.
Ke Ye really wanted to say something, but after seeing Tang Xian's faint smile, he couldn't say a word.
Showing off, complaining, and having extramarital affairs have become the labels of many alumni associations.
Ke Ye never participated in the class reunion. For six years, he has been concentrating on making weapons. It also stems from the fact that there is no one like Tang Xian in the list of each class reunion.
True bosom friends, meeting after many years, just a momentary exchange of eyes, can bring more emotion and satisfaction than a whole class reunion.
Ke Ye thought so, but fortunately Tang Xian is a person who doesn't understand style, otherwise at this time, the two big men would inevitably hug each other and feel emotional.
Ke Ye was thinking about how to invite Tang Xian to the House of Daedalus
Tang Xian said bluntly:
"What's the matter? During the operation, my friend is still being located, and there is still a bomb hidden in the spine. Don't delay, prepare the props and start directly."
"Now? You really haven't changed at all." Ke Ye smiled wryly.
(Taking up some official chapter resources, from writing the story to now, I have never asked for any reward, only for subscription, because for readers and authors, subscription is a fair transaction, I have to ask for it with confidence, new book The grades are bad.
