Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 77 Strange Weapons

[Calculation complete.]

[The remaining quantities of carbon fiber are estimated at 11 units, grade 1 steel at 5 units, and copper at 17 units.]

[It is recommended to use an air rifle as the modification material.]

Lorraine, who hadn't finished moving all the planned supplies, saw the news from Cleveland. After all the supplies were loaded into the containers, Lorraine scanned the inventory in the warehouse.

"Where did you get so much shooting-related sports equipment?"

The air rifles that Lorraine took accounted for only 10% of the total warehouse stock, and the composite bows were even less.

However, during this time Lorraine discovered a problem: the size of the warehouse seemed a bit off.

So he called on Ouyang Nian, and together they began to measure the size of the warehouse.

"No need to measure, it's definitely small, but it seems excessively small here?"

When they discovered the warehouse, Lorraine and Platinum didn't thoroughly inspect it because of the presence of zombies. After confirming that there were no zombies in their field of vision, they locked the warehouse door and hurriedly left.

Ouyang Nian had Di Ting run back and forth along the long side of the warehouse next door and recorded the time it took.

Subsequently, Di Ting completed a round trip in the warehouse in just half the time.

Seeing this, Lorraine took out a shotgun from the driver's seat, and Ouyang Nian raised his shield, preparing to investigate under the protection of Tiangou.

The two approached the partitions inside the warehouse, searching for the doors leading to the cubicles.

Because the warehouse was somewhat dark, it took the two of them some effort to find the hidden door behind the gun case.

To make passage easier, the two moved the somewhat obstructive gun cases to an empty shelf near the warehouse entrance.

Then, Lorraine stood on the side away from the hidden door, swung his fist and smashed it into the iron partition, creating a loud noise to attract the zombies inside.

Taking advantage of the sound Lorraine made, Ouyang Nian took out a spray can and began cutting the door lock.

Ouyang Nian cut the lock and opened the bolt.

"Clatter." The sound of the bolt being opened was still drowned out by the huge noise Lorraine had created.

Ouyang Nian waved to Luo Lin, signaling that he could stop.

Lorraine stopped smashing the wall and quietly moved closer, while Ouyang Nian listened intently to the sounds coming from inside the cubicle.

Is there any movement inside?

Lorraine leaned close to Ouyang Nian and asked in a low voice.

Ouyang Nian silently shook his head, raised his shield, and prepared to push the door open and enter.

Lorraine slung the shotgun behind his back, pulled out a pistol, and stood behind Ouyang Nian. He put one hand on Ouyang Nian's shoulder and raised the pistol with the other, aiming it forward.

Then, Lorraine patted Ouyang Nian, indicating that she was ready and could enter.

Ouyang Nian drew his pistol, released the safety and unlocked it, and gently rammed the door open with his shield.

The two stood at the door, remaining vigilant, waiting for their eyes to adjust to the dim environment inside the cubicle.

Thirty seconds later, the two adjusted to the dim environment of the cubicle and saw a large number of dark green wooden crates.

"arms???"

The two exchanged a glance, preparing to immediately open a box to see what was inside.

Ouyang Nian released the safety of his pistol, put it back in its holster, and reached out to open the wooden box.

"No, we can't pry this box open. We'll probably need a crowbar."

Ouyang Nian immediately knew that the box was secured with nails, so she stopped trying and instead searched for a crowbar with Lorraine in the warehouse compartment.

Fortunately, the bright red crowbar was very conspicuous, and Lorraine saw it as soon as she turned around.

"There's not enough space here, let's move this box out first."

Ouyang Nian took the crowbar and tried it out, then placed it on the box and reached out to start moving it.

The two of them spent some time moving the box out of the warehouse. Under the sunlight, Ouyang Nian picked up a crowbar and pried open the box.

With a "creak," Ouyang Nian successfully opened the box using a crowbar.

What came into view was a piece of yellow and black oilcloth.

"Could it really be weapons?"

Lorraine stepped forward and lifted the tarpaulin, revealing a firearm wrapped in a pale yellow film.

Lorraine casually picked up a well-packaged long gun that resembled an AK and began to examine it carefully.

"It has safety features, but no ejection system, no rifling..."

After the examination, Lorraine was still somewhat puzzled.

"This isn't a weapon, is it?"

Lorraine looked back at the remaining space in the container and figured there was enough room for three more of these boxes.

"Ouyang Nian, should we go and bring out two more boxes? Is there any information on these boxes?"

Lorraine watched as Ouyang Nian repeatedly rubbed the top of the box.

"There seems to be a raised mark here, which may only be visible under certain lighting conditions."

Ouyang Nian pointed to a wooden board on top of the box and said.

"Never mind the writing for now. Try weighing the whole box, and we'll go back and bring out another one."

"What do you want to do?"

Ouyang Nian was somewhat puzzled by Lorraine's suggestion.

"I want to see what else is inside these boxes."

Ouyang Nian gestured for Luo Lin to put the spear back in the box, and then tested the weight of the entire box.

"Let's go."

The two returned to the cubicle, and Ouyang Nian tried out all the movable boxes in front of him.

"Take this one; its center of gravity and weight are different from the other boxes."

"OK."

After the two moved the boxes out of the cubicle, Ouyang Nian locked the hidden door leading to the cubicle.

The two then received a message from Platinum while loading the truck.

"Commander, I estimate the loading will be completed in about 20 minutes. How's it going on your end?"

Lorraine glanced down at the box in her hand and estimated the time.

"Ouyang Nian and I expect to arrive at the dock in 10 minutes and complete the loading process in 15 minutes."

"receive."

After packing was complete, Ouyang Nian locked the warehouse door and returned to the dock with Luo Lin.

After the containers were loaded onto the cargo ship, Lorraine sent Ouyang Nian back to the flagship, while he drove a truck to assist Platinum.

"Commander, both containers are completely filled."

"On the return trip, I'll go first and you'll go behind, with the robotic dogs on either side, surrounding the porters in the middle."

"no problem."

Lorraine boarded the truck loaded with goods and drove off first, followed closely by the porters and the robotic dog.

At 1 p.m., Lorraine returned to the shipyard with the supplies. Taking advantage of the early hour, Lorraine called over Guo Zhiwei, the worker representative, and asked him how many workers at the shipyard were available to start work.

Guo Zhiwei quickly recalled the data and then gave a rough estimate.

"After deducting the number of people in the security department, there are 195 people who can be put into production now. It is expected that all the young employees will be able to put into production work in a week, and the middle-aged employees will be able to gradually put into production in three to four weeks. The condition of the older employees is relatively poor."
