After Fu Xixi joined the base, she also held the same position as the group leader, so Wei Lun specially arranged a room on the second floor for her.
Everyone else lived in tents, but Fu Xixi lived in the same room as the guard team leader, which fully demonstrated the base's and Wei Lun's trust and support for her.
To their surprise,
At Welshman's base, every meal included pork trotter rice. Although the boxed meals were cold, you could easily heat them up yourself.
Most importantly, the three meals a day here were something they could never have imagined. In the apocalypse, who doesn't go hungry? Three meals a day is unbelievable, which means that everyone in the base can truly live like a human being.
Life here is very similar to before the disaster. The lake water behind the houses is filtered and can be used for washing. Fresh boxed meals are available every day. There are special guard uniforms, which are also supplies that Boss Wei Lun put in the warehouse. Although many supplies can only be used by the managers, everyone is completely content.
This place is just like the world people dream of; in the apocalypse, it's practically paradise.
Of course, there is an ironclad rule at the base: absolute loyalty to the boss is mandatory. Everything here—food, clothing, shelter, and transportation—is provided by the boss, and only by obeying the boss's orders can everyone maintain this comfortable life.
While Fu Xixi was busy with production, she used her creativity to combine the functions of the production line and actually developed a real laser weapon.
Previously, Zeng Guangtian and others had developed a lightsaber, but no new discoveries have been made since.
Fu Xixi's research has now led to the successful discovery that the production line has the potential to manufacture both laser guns and laser cannons.
But for now, we can only try to produce laser guns first.
Inside the production plant, Fu Xixi discovered through research on the production line that the biggest difference between a laser gun and a laser sword is that a laser gun is a long-range assault weapon, and its main function is energy conversion.
After 24 hours of deliberation, Fu Xixi finally accomplished her first feat since arriving at the base.
The first laser gun has been successfully developed.
A futuristic-looking weapon without a magazine, but with particle-based energy conversion capabilities and extremely high durability.
It can sustain continuous combat for several days, after which only minor maintenance is required.
The most distinctive feature of laser guns is their ability to quickly destroy enemies, and nothing, regardless of its material composition, can stop their fire.
If a zombie is hit, it will immediately lose its fighting ability and collapse.
Unlike automatic rifles, which rely on bullets, laser weapons are far less powerful.
With this latest laser gun, the base will likely become a place feared by everyone in the vicinity.
Wei Lun hadn't left these past few days, spending most of his time with Qin Mutong. Sometimes they would cook together, and other times they would share their innermost feelings.
On this day
As soon as Wei Lun left the room on the third floor, he heard shouts from below.
Upon arriving on the first floor, Wei Lun looked at Fu Xixi with great confusion.
"What's wrong? You look travel-worn. Did you not sleep well during your labor these past few days?"
Wei Lun said jokingly, but he hit the nail on the head. Fu Xixi really hadn't slept for days.
To prove their worth, Fu Xixi and her team worked tirelessly after joining the production line. They worked day and night to improve production efficiency.
"Boss Wei, we've developed a laser gun. Are you sure you're not interested?"
As Fu Xixi spoke, she prepared to lead Wei Lun out to check. Since the experimental site needed to be located outside the base, she did not bring him in directly.
"A laser gun? Really? Quick, take me to see it!"
When Wei Lun heard about laser guns, he was incredibly excited. He had only heard of them before, but had never actually seen one.
The greatest challenge in using laser guns lies in their endurance and the ultra-high-tech ability to shrink them, technologies that are difficult to achieve in modern times but are possible in the post-apocalyptic world.
Once outside the courtyard, Fu Xixi took out a laser gun from inside the factory.
Weren stared intently at the laser gun. Its milky-white construction, accented with black and red parts, made it look like a weapon from Star Wars.
The laser gun is a size larger than an automatic rifle, but despite its size, it is actually lighter overall.
"Fu Xixi, is this the laser gun you were talking about? I wonder how powerful it is?"
Wei Lun asked with a smile. Although he liked it very much, he still had to pretend to be indifferent, which made things difficult for him.
"Boss, look at that tree in the distance, I'll shoot it for you!"
As Fu Xixi spoke, she aimed at the tree, and Wei Lun also stared at the tree.
"call out……"
A flash of crimson light streaked across the sky, and then the tree was seen snapped in two, as if struck by lightning.
As the tree was hit, the entire tree fell to the ground.
The loud crashing sound and the dust kicked up filled the sky.
Looking at the laser weapon, Wei Lun's heart instantly became excited. With the laser gun, they would truly have a secret weapon to eliminate zombies in the future!
"I'll take care of this laser gun. You get to work on producing it and get it to the guards as soon as possible!"
As Wei Lun spoke, he took the laser gun, examining it closely and handling it with obvious delight.
Qin Jiayou, Zeng Guangtian, Lei Long, Du Kun, Zhu Guanjun, and others, hearing the sound of trees falling and the sharp whistling of laser weapons cutting through the air, quickly gathered around.
Upon seeing the laser gun in Wei Lun's hand, they all began to excitedly discuss it.
"Boss, I also want a laser gun. We need this weapon the most when we're patrolling the front lines!"
Lei Long said with a smile, his eyes fixed on the laser gun in Wei Lun's hand.
"Lei Long, what nonsense are you talking about? The boss will naturally take first place, so don't get any funny ideas!"
Qin Jiayou cursed angrily. Of course he knew that Wei Lun wanted the first laser weapon because he was interested in it. The most powerful weapon in the base was the laser gun, so naturally the boss would have it.
"In my opinion, we can all equip ourselves with this in the future, but it's very troublesome to maintain and not suitable for mass deployment!"
Zhu Guanjun frowned and hit the nail on the head: "Laser weapons are very powerful, but they can only be equipped by one guard unit at most, similar to a special forces unit. If the entire guard unit is equipped with them, even maintenance may become a problem."
If a laser weapon were to lose its maintenance, it would be no different from a toy gun. Therefore, automatic rifles still have certain advantages: they are easier to maintain and have a continuous supply of ammunition.
"No problem, we'll set up a dedicated weapons maintenance station in the future, and then we can equip them in large quantities!"
Du Kun also started talking in his sleep, and while they only had one laser gun, they immediately started imagining a future armed force of hundreds of people.
While everyone was discussing, Wei Lun secretly stored the laser gun in the jade pendant space. In fact, the reason Wei Lun left the laser gun was to prevent any unforeseen circumstances and increase his safety in the apocalypse. Who knows if a level 3 zombie will suddenly appear in the next second?
