Mobile City Travel Guide
Chapter 12 The Daily Giants
With a soft rumble, the crane on the deck of the Xinghuo started up, lifting a metal component from the front of the locomotive and steadily transporting it onto the deck. A group of people who had been waiting immediately surrounded it with tools and began to disassemble it on the spot to extract the copper wires and various alloys.
On the other side, a robotic arm equipped with a cutting device had already cut off a large piece of the engine hood, ready to be transported into the city's furnace to be smelted into iron ingots.
Lu Chen and his group then used their work claws to cut and remove the leather from the seats, as well as the sponge used as filling.
Li Xin himself wasn't idle either. After a lot of effort, he finally managed to insert a pipe from the Xinghuo into the car's fuel tank opening.
Under his expectant gaze, a pale yellow liquid gushed out from the translucent tube.
"There really is!" he exclaimed in surprise.
As time went on, copper wire, various alloys, leather, and sponge had piled up into small mountains on the deck, and the smelted iron ingots had filled the warehouses. As for the gasoline drawn from the fuel tanks, it was not only enough to supply the vehicles, but also enough to power the Xinghuo for two or three hundred kilometers.
Looking at the abundant harvest before him, Li Xin couldn't help but grin. Having lived a hard life in the barren wasteland for so long, suddenly obtaining so many supplies so easily was quite unusual.
This world of giants may be dangerous, but its resources are also enormous and easy to obtain.
In the following time, Li Xin brought a batch of iron ingots to the production workshop, intending to make some things.
After the evolution was completed, the old and dilapidated production workshop has been completely transformed and even has an integrated manufacturing platform.
As a new iron ingot was thrown in, a low, rhythmic hum filled the production workshop, and soon a large pile of brand-new bullets came out with a whooshing sound.
Teacups, scissors, bowls... He quickly tried various things. Since the raw material was iron ingots, the items produced were all made of iron and were very sturdy and neat.
"Is it that easy to use?" he asked in surprise.
Then, on a whim, he entered "fully automatic rifle" in the crafting field.
Considering that raw materials like iron ingots alone were clearly not enough, Li Xin also used some alloys and leather that he had just obtained from cars, as well as some timber stored in the warehouse.
A low rumble echoed through the production workshop again, and this time the sound lasted a little longer than before.
A moment later, a brand-new automatic rifle slid out of the exit.
The gun has a solid weight and a perfect center of gravity; the wooden stock has a clear and smooth texture; the leather sling is soft and neatly stitched; and all the parts are clearly and neatly arranged... Li Xin held it and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't find a single flaw.
After this experience, he became bolder and entered heavy machine guns and cannons into the crafting menu.
Like rifles, the heavy machine guns and artillery produced were also standardized, neat, and angular, in no way inferior to the standard equipment produced in arsenals.
As for the cannonballs needed, Li Xin was too lazy to search for saltpeter and gunpowder, so he directly put in iron ingots to make solid cannonballs—this stuff might be even more powerful.
After all that, Li Xin took stock of what he had gained.
First, he manufactured a batch of heavy machine guns and cannons, as well as a large number of bullets and shells, replenishing and even enhancing the firepower of the Starfire.
Secondly, he used the leather and some leftover fabric from the warehouse to make a batch of new clothes for himself and everyone else.
Finally, there were daily necessities: pots and pans, tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets—whatever was needed, we made.
During this time, he became completely absorbed in it. It felt like playing a DIY game; you could input whatever you wanted and create it.
However, when he entered the car name, he was unable to click "OK".
The reason is simple: manufacturing a car requires hundreds or thousands of different materials, as well as a complete set of design drawings.
After a moment of stunned silence, Li Xin scratched his head.
That's enough for now.
When he came up to the deck, he found his companions all gathered together, looking at something curiously.
It turned out that when Lu Chen and his men were retrieving the leather from the car, they also unexpectedly found a folded newspaper on the passenger seat.
The newspaper was made of new material; it was obviously recent.
Li Xin suddenly became interested.
"Let me see too!"
Since his arrival in this world of giants, he has been very curious about it, and the newspapers have provided him with a lot of key information.
This newspaper was also ridiculously large, measuring over twenty meters in length and width, almost covering half of the Xinghuo satellite.
Just moving it from the co-pilot's seat to the deck required a crane and several people working together to open it.
After unfolding the newspaper and spreading it on the deck, Li Xin slowly walked up to it and began to examine it carefully.
The layout of this giant newspaper was similar to that of human civilization, with the same headlines, pictures, titles, and text, while the characters used by the giants resembled a long string of crooked worms.
Because he didn't understand the giants' language, he could only barely grasp the meaning through the pictures accompanying the text.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge picture.
The picture shows a giant reporter in a suit with an extremely enthusiastic expression. He holds a microphone in one hand and makes a forceful gesture with the other, as if he is reporting on something.
The distant view behind him completely stunned Li Xin.
It was a towering launch platform, on which sat a huge rocket, its nozzle billowing thick smoke and flickering flames, clearly indicating that it had already begun ignition and liftoff.
For a fleeting moment, time seemed to stand still as I experienced this new sensation, and I could even clearly hear my own heartbeat.
Giants... they've actually developed rockets?
Although he knew that the technology of the giant civilization was not low, the fact that they had rockets really surprised him.
Where exactly have these giants progressed in the field of space exploration?
Is it just getting started, only able to launch a few satellites? Or has it already achieved manned spaceflight, established a space station, and even landed on the moon?
In an instant, countless questions flooded his mind.
Not only him, but Lu Chen and his companions were also dumbfounded.
"Can you translate the text in this newspaper, Yunzhi?" Lu Chen asked casually.
"I'm sorry, my current technical skills are completely incapable of doing that," Yun Zhi replied. "My suggestion is to complete the technical upgrade as soon as possible."
After regaining his senses, Li Xin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This is undoubtedly a major discovery.
At this rate, the giant civilization will be able to enter the modern era in just a few decades.
As he continued looking, he discovered many more interesting pictures.
