With Longmen Town's current productivity, being able to manufacture mechanical exoskeletons and Power Armor is already quite difficult.
It's impossible to produce a quantum communication tower in a short period of time.
Gu Yaoyao directly informed Feng Jun of the current situation.
Although Longmen Town seems to be thriving, with production lines for Power Armor and mechanical exoskeletons, and even capable of producing some light armored vehicles, most of these are based on appropriation.
For example, 80% of the raw materials for manufacturing these weapons come from various materials collected by scavengers from Shangqing City.
Although Feng Jun and several bigwigs in Huaicheng District are involved in high-level businesses—Feng Jun sells grain, the Zhu Hong Business Association controls Huai City's arms trade, the Blackwater Merchant Guild operates alcohol sales and narcotics, and the Blood Bell Gang sells slaves—these are all highly profitable industries in the wasteland, but they all have to deal with scavenger groups.
Every day, large and small scavenger groups come to Longmen Town or Huai City to exchange the parts and supplies they've collected for grain or weapons.
"Don't expect to build a quantum communication tower yet, with your current industrial output.
It would probably take a month to build ten T800 robots.
And that's with sufficient supplies," Gu Yaoyao said directly.
"Instead of building a more difficult quantum communication tower, it would be better to improve your productivity and find a production line capable of producing robots."
Compared to building a quantum communication tower, finding a production line that can produce robots is relatively easier.
Before the war, Shangqing City had many factories engaged in the production of various civilian robots.
If a complete production line could be found and then modified, it would quickly be able to produce robots that meet standards.
"I'll handle that.
Your task now is to design the robot blueprints for me," Feng Jun said in a commanding tone.
"If you do well, you'll get double snacks and drinks for a month.
If you can't do it, you won't get any snacks for a month."
Upon hearing the word "snacks," a sharp glint flashed in Gu Yaoyao's eyes.
She immediately ran over, pulled Gu Yunyun, and walked into the room.
It seemed she was ready to work.
Whenever food was mentioned, she was even more energetic than her sister.
After arranging for the two of them, Feng Jun also had serious business to attend to.
Just as Gu Yunyun had said, although Longmen Town had the ability to manufacture its own weapons and equipment, the raw materials depended on transactions with scavengers.
However, the materials brought by scavengers for trade were often inconsistent.
Take the Power Armor currently equipped by Longmen Town, for example; the most common Power Armor comes in two models: the Assault P4 Power Armor and the Centurion 6 Power Armor.
The production lines for these two Power Armors came from a transaction with the Zhu Hong Business Association, and because they are relatively simple to manufacture, and the Ming Empire army heavily equipped these two Power Armors before the war, their parts are relatively easy to acquire.
Therefore, most wasteland factions are equipped with this type of Power Armor.
These two types of Power Armor are further divided into two kinds: one is Power Armor produced before the war, which is not only more robust and of better quality, but also has internal electronic and weapon systems that are easier and more convenient to operate, and more comfortable to wear.
The other kind is Power Armor produced by people in the Doomsday after it occurred; these Power Armors might not differ much in defense from pre-war Power Armor, but their internal electronic and weapon systems are inconsistent, and the wearing experience is very poor.
Feng Jun had tried on the Power Armor produced by his own factory, and he could clearly feel the difference from the pre-war version.
Due to the inconsistent supply of materials, some control systems in the Power Armor clearly had many bugs.
Previously, Feng Jun was very concerned about this, but after asking Song Peng, he understood that this was a common problem; even the Power Armor produced by Huai City itself had such issues, not because of the workers or the production line, but because of the inconsistent supply chain.
Afterward, Feng Jun didn't take this matter to heart, but now he had to re-emphasize it.
In the past, when encountering such matters, Feng Jun would go to Song Peng for discussion, but this time he directly found Li Lu and told her all the difficulties he encountered.
"Robots? From movies.
You brought back movies from your world and didn't even let me watch them!
You truly forgot your old love for a new one."
It must be said that women view problems differently; she immediately found where Feng Jun had erred.
"It's not that I forgot; I'll go get it and we can watch it together."
Feng Jun was about to go downstairs to get his Coarse Grain tablet when he remembered that his tablet had already been disassembled into parts by Gu Yaoyao.
"Even if you bring it, I won't care to watch it anymore," Li Lu pouted, looking unhappy.
Helpless, Feng Jun stepped forward and embraced Li Lu, talking until his lips were raw, and only after saying all the good things did Li Lu finally cheer up.
After listening to Feng Jun's description, Li Lu pondered for a while, and soon she remembered something.
After searching for a while on the holographic map, Li Lu pointed to a Harbor along the coast and said, "It's here, the 'Bowu Manufacturing' company's Harbor.
There, you should be able to find what you need: a complete robot production line, and perhaps even opto-crystalline chips for manufacturing a quantum communication tower.
However, that place is very dangerous."
Bowu Manufacturing Company was a low-key yet influential company in the Former Ming Empire before the war, because the company's founder was the younger brother of the Emperor's wife.
According to the address, he should be respectfully called the 'National Uncle,' and such a company naturally had a deep background with the imperial government.
Before the war broke out, this company was a renowned communication service contractor within the Ming Empire and also had a certain influence in the field of robot automation.
"I went there two years ago.
There was a large area of warehouses near the Harbor that hadn't been affected much by the war.
There should be quite a few opto-crystalline communication chips inside, and perhaps even a semi-finished quantum communication tower.
However, because several powerful Mutants were entrenched there, my teammates and I at the time could only turn back and didn't retrieve anything valuable," Li Lu said.
Feng Jun looked towards where Li Lu was pointing; the location was directly east of Shangqing City, a place bordering the Harbor.
There were two ways to get there: either directly cross the entire ruins of Shangqing City, or detour from the north and south sides.
Distance was not too big of a problem for Feng Jun; the White Egret Drone's endurance could easily make several round trips.
As for the Mutants Li Lu mentioned, Feng Jun wasn't worried.
Although Anti-corpse liquid wasn't mass-produced, it was possible to get some experimental samples for use, and Feng Jun also needed to find gene seeds to complete the task issued by the storage space.
