For some unknown reason, the ghosts did not come back to cause trouble to Wang Qi and others.

This also saves you a lot of trouble, so you can concentrate on running the RV.

All the RVs in the city ran away when they were evacuated. After all, they are advantageous resources when running away, and they cannot be discarded like ordinary vehicles.

However, even if the RVs still exist, it is useless. Compared with the current demand, they are still a big waste.

There will be kitchen stoves in RVs in the industrial era. Whether indoor or outdoor kitchens, they are now as useless as the fuel tank pipelines.

What's more important is defense. Unless it is a customized product, the RVs sold normally will not have a bulletproof design. The materials from the outside to the inside are iron sheets plus light steel frames, lightweight insulation layers (some do not have them at all), and interior materials.

The surface is fine if a person hits it, but if a two- to three-hundred-kilogram thing like a mantis rushes up, a sickle can tear open a huge hole.

As for the more reliable camps on the southward migration route, at least their defenses should be a little higher, and they still have attack holes for crossbows and spears, which need to be redesigned.

I'm not very professional, but you can give it a try.

The basic idea is to add wood to a steel frame. Of course, wood is not stronger than modern vehicles, but it is easier to repair. If the reform-through-labor prisoners are more honest, they can add steel plates after adding attributes.

In order to improve the passability, suspension is also needed. Just use the leaf spring suspension on some medium-sized vehicles. This old-fashioned suspension has a simple structure and basically does not require maintenance. The wheel axles are also removed from the medium-sized vehicles.

The wheels need to be reworked.

Four widened wooden wheels are not impossible to support a RV weighing several tons, but if the road conditions are poor, frequent repairs may be needed, and ways to upgrade must also be found.

Wang Qi’s idea is to directly use the tires of discarded medium-sized cars, retain the wheel hubs and tires, use wood as the tire core, and wrap it with artificial sponge and rubber tires... It is a solid wheel. Although the rubber is very aging, it may not be able to travel ten kilometers.

It has to be broken into pieces, but it's better than wood wrapped in iron.

At Elena's house, Kai's carpentry is better, so I asked him for consultation, and he also thought that solid tires are feasible, but if we set out in the summer, wooden cores need to be made now.

Wang Qi himself also planned to start the construction in winter. One winter of the large oak as the main material would definitely not be enough to inactivate all the fibers. Manual intervention was necessary. First, it was cut into different types and placed in lying or standing positions, so that it could be deformed at any time.

And use clamps or heavy objects to apply pressure and correct it, so that it can be used in two or three months.

Not in a hurry, Wang Qi finished painting the entire RV in the past few days, took out the steel frame and chassis parts and consulted a blacksmith.

Timovich looked at the drawings, then looked at the handsome face more than ten meters away and Anna next to him, frowning.

Wang Qi thought there was something wrong with the drawing: "Is it difficult to make it?"

"Yes... it's a bit difficult, but it can be done."

The drawings have been considered very carefully. All structural parts are fixed with fasteners and bolts, and do not require direct welding. The blacksmith's main task is to make fasteners on both ends of the steel workpiece (heating and hammering to shape), drilling holes and finding

Get a sufficient number of spring washers to ensure a long-term, stable connection.

Timovich is actually still embarrassing Anna about moving south. Seeing this blueprint, it feels a bit reliable, and Anna seems to have gone a little further.

"Give me a price, I only have dried meat and garbage from the city."

"You have to find two hundred kilograms of dried meat, three kilograms of salt, and steel yourself. I don't have that much."

Two hundred kilograms of dried meat is equivalent to almost half a ton of fresh meat. Even the bandits would not be able to take it out for a while, but Timovich did not raise the price randomly because the steel material is too long and it is difficult to heat it in the furnace. The whole thing is too big and can only be put in.

When assembling outdoors, two or three people are simply not enough. There is no electricity, and drilling holes for the angle steel is also a very complicated task. If it is not done well, the strength of the angle steel will be affected. Add in the safety risks and the man-hour quotation will have to be so much.

Wang Qi was very calm. He was mentally prepared. There was so much dried meat that he couldn't get out now. He had to kill almost four mantis monsters temporarily. He was afraid that they wouldn't survive the winter and wait until spring.

"If you help me collect the steel material, how much meat will be added?"

Timovich quickly refused: "I can't accept it. It will take at least a year to receive so much designated steel. You can't wait that long."

Anna, who was standing next to him, explained to the other party: "The materials you used are too big. Normally, deserters would not try to collect such heavy things. He must first publish the collection information before anyone will look for it. The price is high and it is very slow."

She still has me in her heart! Timovich is having fun.

Wang Qi was right. In order to enhance the defense, most of his drawings marked angle steel with a side width of 70 millimeters and a thickness of 7 millimeters.

Even though it is already the lightest choice with both defense and defense, this thing weighs more than 6.2 kilograms per meter long. The minimum length in the transportation state is four meters, and the transportation vehicle is long enough to reach more than ten meters. Refer to its state before winter, remove all kinds of

The survival props, weapons, and remaining weight are not enough to carry the shortest one. If it is too long, it will hit the floor and make a loud noise when dragged by a cart, and no one will take the initiative to touch it.

"Anna, do you have any search point information for these materials?"

If not, you have to buy this information, the blacksmith should have it.

Anna: "There are several places you can look for."

Save it.

"Okay, at the price you said, I'll go find the steel materials. You can start doing the preparatory work. How long will it take?" The preparatory work is naturally small things such as bolts and washers.

"Two and a half months after the steel materials are in place." When facing a large customer, even if he feels embarrassed, he has to explain, "The deserters need to do a lot of things in the spring, and I can't spend all my time on this."

The chassis and frame are the main body, followed by carpentry and debugging. If the departure date is placed in the summer, there will be at least five months left, which is plenty of time.

Wang Qi didn't care much if the wasteland people's things were to jump in line. Everyone had to rely on tools to survive, so it was inevitable to take care of their priorities. It was good to have the spare capacity to build such a big thing.

Wang Qi came down and was about to leave, but Timovich shouted: "Wait! Those flying noodles, I want to try them first."

Looking back at the blacksmith, is it time to make a decision?

If you add points to him, what if he doesn't go in the end? As a blacksmith, this person is of certain importance to this area. Because of the professional benefits, the possibility of becoming a bandit is smaller than that of a precarious survivor.

After thinking about it, I decided to give him a chance.

Nodding: "Come here."

Timovich lingered, afraid of being beaten, and wondering if there really were miracles.

He waited for more than ten meters and didn't arrive for half a minute. Anna became impatient: "If you want to try, come here quickly, it's a waste of everyone's time!"

Her words worked, and Timovich took a breath and walked over in a few steps, separated by the wrought iron door.

Wang Qi didn't try to open the door, so he put his hand on him through the door handle.

[Egor Timovich, age 23, strength 7, agility 3, constitution 5]

It's a bit surprising that the blacksmith is three years younger than Anna. Can he get gold bricks if he explodes them?

Seven points of strength is quite suitable for the identity of the blacksmith, which is unexpectedly high. In addition, the blacksmith is the first survivor Wang Qi found to have a physical constitution of 5. Varya initially only had 4. This body is stronger than that of his younger brothers. It is not in vain.

.

If you add strength once, you won't need the resistance. It would be a waste not to go south to add it.

Said the doctor's advice: "Eat more and sleep for a while. It will take effect. It will take some time for it to take effect completely, ramen."

"ramen?" He was quite curious.

"You don't have to understand, I don't accept followers either."

Got it, it’s a prayer word, right?

"If it helps, I will go with you, I promise." He looked at Anna as he spoke.

"You should tell the king."
