Heavy Armoured Truck In Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 15: A grumpy plastic bunny

Views:

The chelicerae of the digger resemble a sickle, with long palms and not sharp to the touch. However, once the activity is injected, it can barely achieve the effect of cutting iron like mud. It can cut a hole in a steel plate by chopping hard.

Fortunately, the digging bug probably didn't use the activity at that time, so when it bit the iron hook, its chelicerae had no effect.

However, driven by instinct, mutant monsters will sooner or later learn to take advantage of their activity and become more difficult to deal with.

"The chelicerae are only as long as a palm, so they are too small to make a machete, and the fangs are too redundant to make a dagger."

After thinking about the chelicerae of the ground-burrowing insect, Shen Cong felt that there was no suitable modification plan.

Set aside for now.

He then grabbed the two incisors of the big-toothed rat. The incisors were shaped like straight watermelon knives, one and a half fingers long, slightly flat and curved, with an obvious cut at the tip. This shape would be more suitable to be transformed into military spurs, but compared to the sharp wolf fangs, the big-toothed rat incisors are not a very good material.

"It would be a good choice to make a small pickaxe."

Shen Cong was not in a hurry to use the pickaxe, so Shen Cong chose to put his front teeth aside.

As a result, only eleven fangs are available for use. For Yalang's fangs, the best thing Shen Cong thought of was to make a dagger. The previous fang dagger was very handy. However, there is no need to do too much with the fang dagger. The fangs are very strong and durable and will not be easily worn out.

"It can be used as a javelin, but it has some bends and needs to be polished."

The power of the javelin is still very great. With Shen Cong's half strength, injected with activity and thrown out, I believe that even the monster suspected of being a prehistoric giant crocodile will be hit hard.

He needs such a deterrent heavy weapon.

The tusks are curved, and the javelin has good requirements for the tip. The curved tusks have greater wind resistance and the flight trajectory is also unstable. Therefore, the curved front end of the fang needs to be ground into a straight tip.

Shen Cong gestured with a ruler and found that he needed to grind off about two knuckles.

"If the length of these two knuckles is cut off with a saw and then used as waste, they can be used to make arrowheads. Crossbows and bows will definitely be more lethal if they are replaced with arrows with this active core."

After conceiving the idea, Shen Cong immediately decided to build eight javelins and eight arrows.

The remaining three fangs are left for the transformation of Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor. With the fangs as the active core of the armor, the use efficiency is greatly improved. Shen Cong hopes to make the transformation more perfect. This is also the reason why he originally named the active armor Optimus Prime 1.0.

With Optimus Prime 1.0, it means that there will be upgraded versions of Optimus Prime 1.1, Optimus Prime 1.5, Optimus Prime 2.0 and so on.

The upgrade of active armor involves many ideas and needs to be carefully considered and can be postponed.

Shen Cong first polished the javelin tip and arrowheads.

As a folk expert who can even DIY a doomsday chariot, Shen Cong picked up the electric grinder and immediately started cutting the first fang steadily. The fangs without activity were roughly the same hardness as carbon steel. Under the constant friction of the grinding wheel, countless pieces of powder flew away.

Wearing an eye patch, Shen Cong, with very steady hands, cut off the front of the fangs bit by bit along the drawn cutting line.

After cutting it off, the two-finger-long tip was set aside and the fangs began to be sharpened. Grinding shapes with an electric grinder is a technical job. If you don't work with it all year round, there is no way to grind it into an ideal shape. Shen Cong is an experienced driver. He has been doing DIY for six years and has honed all his repairman skills to the top level.

After grinding it into a standard spike shape, then polishing it, and then cutting half of the root along the center line, the javelin tip is completed.

The handle of the gun is easy to handle. It is a piece of steel bar. The front end is also cut in half along the center line, and then polished to match the shape of the gun tip.

Fasten it, make two holes, pass the steel wire through it, and then wrap the steel wire around it. Then use electric welding to melt away the steel wire, melt it into a circle of iron sheet, and wrap the snap connection. A simple javelin is now made.

Of course, this javelin has not been calibrated yet and needs to be finely polished. It is best to open a few blood grooves on it to make it more lethal.

I looked at the time and saw that an hour of rest time passed before I knew it.

Shen Cong moved his body, put down the javelin, walked to the cab, and began the nine-hour work of repairing the King Kong every day. All work is secondary, and repairing the King Kong is the priority. If his energy was not limited, he even hoped to spend 24 hours a day repairing it.

Part of the power system has been repaired, the main frame structure has been repaired, and the external armor has been repaired. In the next step, Shen Cong plans to repair the power system.

Another day has passed, July 23, 2022 AD.

The regular and monotonous life that was supposed to continue was suddenly changed. The plastic rabbit raised by Shen Cong, who ate, drank, pooped and continued to eat and drink all day, began to act abnormally.

At first, he kept circling the cage and roaring. Shen Cong didn't pay attention and just threw in a piece of rotting big-toothed rat meat.

But the plastic rabbit, which usually eats the mutated meat crazily when it sees it, turned a blind eye to the big-toothed rat meat this time and remained irritable in the cage.

"A**?"

Shen Cong made a malicious guess and then studied for a while, but found no useful information.

Compared with a real scientist, Shen Cong can only simply record and analyze, and there is not much information that can be researched. He wants to dissect the plastic rabbit and carefully look for the active core.

Resisting this thought, Shen Cong didn't care whether the plastic rabbit had sex or not.

But in the afternoon, it was hard for Shen Cong not to pay attention. The plastic rabbit was no longer satisfied with spinning in circles. It started banging its head on the iron cage and biting the steel bars with its teeth. It seemed that it was eager to leave the cage. This had not happened before. Pass. The plastic rabbit in the cage will always be quiet as long as it is satisfied with food and drink.

Shen Cong speculates that the plastic rabbit may be a mutation of artificially raised domestic rabbits, and its personality will be slightly docile.

Now it is clear that the Plastic Rabbit has become red-eyed.

"There shouldn't be such a big movement." Shen Cong frowned and thought. He didn't know much about animal behavior, let alone mutated animals.

But after observing for three minutes, he keenly discovered a phenomenon. The direction in which the plastic rabbit hit the iron cage was in the same place, close to the wall of the carriage.

Shen Cong thought that the Plastic Rabbit's IQ had risen and he needed to specialize.

So he quickly lifted the iron cage and turned it around, trying to interfere with the plastic rabbit's sense of direction - although the plastic rabbit without many signs of mutation could not cause damage to the iron cage at all.

The plastic rabbit spun around in a circle, and as expected, there was an error in judgment. He once again hit a place close to the carriage wall, but it was no longer the original side.

"Um?"

This was supposed to be a funny thing, but Shen Cong didn't laugh because he realized that his judgment just now was wrong. Plastic Rabbit didn't want to specialize in a little bit and then escape from prison.

The plastic rabbit is always rushing in one direction, northwest by north.

Shen Cong rotated the cage repeatedly, and the impact direction of the plastic rabbit was always north-northwest.

It's like there's something in the north-northwest that's attracting the plastic rabbit, and it's a very strong attraction. The head of the plastic rabbit had been bruised and bloody, but it was still banging relentlessly.
