Global Wasteland: Awaken the Heart of Technology at the beginning

Chapter 63 Making the Goblin Ripper

Wang Teng didn't finish the drawings of the smoothbore cannon and the goblin ripper until after ten o'clock in the evening.

After transferring the two drawings to the mobile phone, Wang Teng with a tired face stood up and stretched.

The work of designing blueprints is still very energy-consuming, and now he just wants to have a good sleep.

"I'm exhausted!" Wang Teng tidied up the things on the research table before dragging his tired body to lie down on the bed.

The next morning, Wang Teng opened the system panel as soon as he woke up. If I remember correctly, today is the day of the lucky draw!

【Ding!Congratulations on winning a Gatling machine gun with 3000 bullets! 】

"Gatling!" Wang Teng took the machine gun out of his backpack in surprise. It was a pure black machine gun with an old style, and it should be an early version.

【Hand-operated Gatling (excellent)】

[Range +8, Damage +10, Fire Rate +15, Penetration +7]

[Description: An ancient Gatling machine gun, which needs to be powered by hand, with a speed of 200 rounds per minute. 】

"It's still hand-cranked." Wang Teng sighed. The machine gun looked very heavy. Even if he was strong enough to carry it while shaking it, he couldn't aim it accurately.

And the system only gave 3000 rounds of ammunition, which means it was finished in 15 minutes.

"No, I have to improve it." Wang Teng stroked his chin and thought about it. Maybe this machine gun can be combined with the Goblin Ripper, and the chain on his left hand can be replaced with this machine gun.

In this case, the Goblin Ripper has a circular saw in melee and a Gatling gun in long-range, which can be said to be quite perfect.

After all, the chain on the left hand does not have much effect, it just pulls oneself towards the enemy to attack, if the operation is not good, it will lead to death.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Wang Teng nodded. This plan is not bad, but the drawn drawings need to be modified.

By the way, put a few transmission gears on the left hand, and it will automatically shake the Gatling gun.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng went into the arsenal and asked the crawler robots here to produce smoothbore guns first.

Since his territory is not very large, Wang Teng planned to build 20 smoothbore guns first, and also equipped with special robots to launch them.

At the same time, Wang Teng also arranged the production tasks of inferior landmines, and he was going to wait for the wind-up doll, because the original wind-up doll was too weak, and he hadn't come up with a suitable improvement plan yet.

After the explanation, Wang Teng came to the robot factory in the back, where many new robots had been piled up, it was time to let them go to work.

"Drip!" Following a series of electronic sounds, two lifting robots and twenty crawler robots slowly drove to the edge of the territory. Their task was to repair the stone wall of the territory and transform it into a city wall.

"There should be nothing missing." Wang Teng walked into the research room quickly, opened the laptop and called up the blueprint of the Goblin Ripper.

Because the changes this time were not very big, it only took Wang Teng an hour to improve the drawings of the Goblin Ripper.

Considering that the Goblin Ripper's zoom-in skill is still useful, Wang Teng changed the position of the chain to the Goblin Ripper's waist, so that he can drive the Goblin Ripper to chase the enemy.

"The drawing problem is solved, and the bullet problem remains." Wang Teng stared at the computer screen and fell into deep thought. He is still using black powder, which will produce a lot of residue after excitation.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary pistol, but it would definitely not work on a Gatling machine gun, and it would jam before firing a few shots.

After opening the technology tree and looking carefully for a while, Wang Teng quickly locked on a smokeless gunpowder called 'nitrocellulose gunpowder'.

Compared with black powder, this smokeless gunpowder has no residue after burning and only produces a small amount of smoke, and its power is several times stronger than black powder!
The method of making nitrocellulose gunpowder is to dissolve nitrocellulose with a mixed solution of ethanol and ether, and then gel it to make colloidal gunpowder.

Wang Teng studied this technology carefully, and the first thing to solve was the production of nitrocellulose.

This requires soaking cotton fibers in a mixed solution of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid for half an hour, and then going through a series of processes to make nitrocellulose.

For nitric acid, he can use saltpeter to get it out, but sulfuric acid is a bit troublesome, and it is estimated that he will have to find a way from the trading platform.

Then there is the issue of ethanol and ether. Ethanol can be extracted from the corn he grows himself. Ether needs to be made by heating ethanol with concentrated sulfuric acid.

So the most critical problem now is that there is no concentrated sulfuric acid. As long as concentrated sulfuric acid can be obtained, he can get out the nitrocellulose gunpowder!

"I can only buy it!" Wang Teng carefully recalled the production method of concentrated sulfuric acid, which needs to use pyrite and alum ore, which are still very rare.

However, the wasteland world is so big that players can recognize almost everything by relying on identification skills. Wang Teng reckons that there may be players who have these two things.

Clicking on the trading platform, Wang Teng quickly searched for a while. The two raw materials have not been sold yet, but there are quite a lot of ready-made concentrated sulfuric acid, which should be brought in during time travel.

After buying all the concentrated sulfuric acid, Wang Teng posted a post on the World Forum, "Purchase a large amount of pyrite and alum ore, and some chatted privately."

I believe that with his reputation, there should be some players looking for him.

However, the concentrated sulfuric acid he has bought so far is enough for him to use for a period of time, and he will just have to figure out a way then.

"First make the Goblin Ripper, and then come back and draw the blueprint of the smokeless gunpowder factory." Wang Teng thought for a while, and the matter of smokeless gunpowder is not in a hurry, anyway, there are still 3000 rounds of ammunition ready-made.

With the newly drawn drawings, Wang Teng rushed directly into the newly built goblin laboratory. He couldn't wait!

Walking into the goblin laboratory, a wild style came over his face, but it was a pity that Wang Teng was human and had no reaction to these.

It took more than ten minutes for Wang Teng to familiarize himself with the equipment in the goblin laboratory.

"It's almost there, the goblin engineer is pretty good." Wang Teng walked to the mecha workbench.

This is a rectangular device whose height can be adjusted freely to produce different kinds of mechs.

Taking out the materials from the backpack, Wang Teng began to operate the mecha workbench to produce the Goblin Ripper!
Because there were a lot of materials needed, Wang Teng carefully carried out every step of the operation, for fear that the first Goblin Ripper he made would be of ordinary quality.

Soon, Wang Teng made the general frame of the Goblin Ripper, which was about 3 meters high.

"Soon, it will be ready in the afternoon at the latest." Wang Teng stuffed the small steam engine in and quickly installed other parts.
