In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

Li Ming hurriedly took the information to the light weapons laboratory and quickly found an expert. This expert was a system reward, surnamed Zhu, and Li Ming called him Old Zhu.

"Old Zhu, take a look at this information. If this alloy steel is used to manufacture a 12.7 heavy machine gun, what kind of performance can it achieve?" Li Ming asked.

Old Zhu adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and carefully examined the information. After reading it, Old Zhu began to calculate with pen and paper.

About 10 minutes later, Old Zhu said, "Commander, I have roughly calculated that if this x alloy steel is used to build a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, according to the latest design of our laboratory, the weight of this heavy machine gun can be compressed to about 18 kilograms!"

Li Ming's eyes lit up. "18 kilograms including the gun mount and the gun body?"

"Yes! This material is really too useful. We are currently developing a new type of 12.7 heavy machine gun that is intended to be mobile with the infantry. The original design was to use titanium alloy to manufacture some parts to reduce the weight, which could compress the total weight to about 23 kilograms."

"However, the cost of titanium alloy is a bit high, so we have not been able to mass-produce it. Now with this x alloy steel, not only is the cost lower, but the performance in all aspects will be greatly improved. I just calculated that it can be compressed to 18 kilograms, and the shooting accuracy is much higher than that of old antiques like the M2."

"According to our calculations, in this case, a machine gun squad attached to our company can carry three to four 12.7mm heavy machine guns, or maintain two heavy machine guns while carrying more ammunition."

Li Ming nodded. "The original plan was for a machine gun squad to have 2 heavy machine guns plus 400 rounds of machine gun ammunition?"

"Yes, the original machine gun squad had 9 people, two 12.7 machine guns, two carrying the machine guns, two carrying the tripod and ammunition boxes and their own rifles, and five carrying rifles and helping to carry ammunition."

"If heavy machine guns are made of x alloy steel, the soldiers carrying the heavy machine guns can carry all the parts of the heavy machine gun plus 100 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition by themselves. The remaining soldiers, in addition to their own assault rifles and rifle ammunition, can also help carry a lot of machine gun ammunition."

"It can be said that no matter which plan, the combat effectiveness and firepower will be greatly improved. If the soldiers' rifles are also made of this alloy, there will be more weight available!"

After listening to Old Zhu's words, Li Ming was excited. As the saying goes, all your insecurity comes from insufficient firepower!

Wouldn't it be possible to directly strengthen the firepower? Moreover, this thing can not only be used to produce guns, but also to manufacture artillery.

Using this thing to produce a 52-caliber 152 howitzer can be directly hoisted by a heavy helicopter, or it can be modified into a truck gun, which is possible.

It can even be used to make mortars, which will increase the combat effectiveness of the troops anyway.

Li Ming thought of many things in a very short period of time. After exchanging opinions with Old Zhu, Old Zhu quickly came up with relevant plans, and then entered the trial production stage, followed by weapon testing.

While Li Ming was busy producing new equipment and transforming existing weapons and equipment, the rest of the survivors were not idle either.

After experiencing the panic of the early days of the apocalypse, everyone gradually began to adapt to the rhythm of the apocalypse.

Of course, this is a good thing, and it is also a bad thing.

The good thing is that everyone's survival ability has been improved. The bad thing is that almost a month after the apocalypse, social security has deteriorated sharply.

Various bad things continue to happen, especially to women, and the results are quite tragic.

The apocalypse has inspired the demonic side of countless people's hearts. Some people directly began to do things that they usually wanted to do in their hearts but never dared to do, with the mentality of enjoying themselves before they die.

Some people released all the demons in their hearts and began to enslave others.

There are also some bad seeds who form relatively large-scale black forces and start to do whatever they want in the entire community. Anyway, there are no imperial laws and imperial violent machines to suppress them, and this group of people can really do whatever they want.

In the recent transactions between Li Ming and Old Zhang, he sent others to go. Several more transactions of weapons and antiques were carried out.

I have to say that Old Zhang and the others also have certain strength and reputation. Not only is their strength relatively strong in the recent communities, but their reputation is also good. They never rely on their strength to bully the weak.

Survivors in nearby areas began to be unable to endure the oppression of the evil forces and chose to go to Old Zhang's community to seek shelter.

Old Zhang and the others also began to expand their sphere of influence. In the apocalypse, it is all about who is ruthless enough and whose heart is dark enough!

After several transactions with Li Ming, Old Zhang and the others even had 5 bulletproof shields, 30 crossbows, 1,500 crossbow arrows, 50 horizontal knives, 10 riot shields, and 25 anti-cut and stab-resistant suits and helmets.

Of course, they also paid a lot of antiques, trading nearly a thousand antiques, but Captain Wu and Old Zhang both felt that this deal was too profitable.

Their community soon came into conflict with the evil forces in those communities because they sheltered some survivors in nearby communities. Captain Wu decisively decided to take action to completely solve the evil forces in this community.

He mobilized more than 60 people, all of whom were strong and strong. The five assault boats in front were guarded by five people holding bulletproof shields and horizontal knives, each assault boat had 4 crossbowmen, plus 4 security team members wearing anti-cut and stab-resistant suits and holding horizontal knives, some of whom were also holding riot shields, and set off in a mighty manner in 7 assault boats.

This battle attracted the attention of many people. A veteran who had served in the army was responsible for commanding and began to advance towards that community. A group of strong men gathered at the entrance of that community on assault boats, and each one looked like a gangster.

One side had more than 60 people, and the other side had about 70 people, but it was hard to say what would happen if they really fought.

Soon the group of evil forces saw Old Zhang and his party. The two sides were about 100 meters apart. A leading man smiled and said, "Brothers, we have two pistols, what are we afraid of? Charge!"

Then this group of strong men began to wave the machetes and steel pipes in their hands and let out ghosts and wolves, and rushed up in assault boats.

The veteran in charge of commanding on Old Zhang's side immediately shouted, "Stop the boat, put the bulletproof shields in front, shoot with hand crossbows, two people shoot at the other side's assault boat and two people shoot at the people on it, get ready!"

"Release the arrows!"

"Swish, swish, swish!" Under the shooting of the crossbows, 20 arrows went straight to the evil forces' assault boats and the people on the boats at a very high initial velocity.
