The smaller one is worth at least fifty thousand points, while the medium-sized one is valued around a hundred thousand. Although not high, these are mostly not for sale.
Even many top-tier forces don't have machine tools, such as Oasis Town.
Apart from industrial cities, weapons production has always been the most scarce industry in the Wasteland, and its value cannot be simply measured with money.
After moving the machine tools, Bai Ye took a searchlight from a subordinate, strapped it to his back, and led Lin Feng further into the darkness.
The pitch-black machines stood on either side.
In the shadows of the light, they resembled rows of silent guards, solemn and waiting for thousands of years.
The space on the eighth underground level was larger, though the area was the same as other floors, the ceiling was much higher.
The upper seven floors were a standard ten meters high, but the eighth underground floor was a full fifteen meters and upwards.
Some large machines and production lines, as well as raw material piles, required more space.
The entire eighth underground level of the shelter served as a weapon production zone. It not only had machine tool areas for direct production but also raw material storage warehouses, finished goods shelves, and so on.
Fortunately, the production area was right at the entrance. Bai Ye led Lin Feng, one in front of the other, for about five hundred meters when they found the ammunition assembly line.
Lin Feng saw the production process of bullets and most small shells.
It started with drilling holes in copper or iron plates, creating circular steel blanks, followed by quenching, stamping, shaping, supporting the middle, evolving from a cap shape to a long strip, then installing the primer at the base...
Thus, the bullet casing part was completed.
The latter half was the formation of the bullet head, using similar copper or iron plates to cut small circles, then quenching and softening them into bullet shapes, followed by injecting steel cores or heavier lead cores into the interior, and thus the bullet head was completed.
The remaining filling of granular gunpowder and bullet head loading was done by a large automatic assembly line machine, a full twenty meters long, divided into five or six modules, requiring the assistance of five people.
But the production volume was also terrifyingly high. Lin Feng looked at the nameplate introduction of this assembly area, producing five 7.62mm standard bullets per second.
With sufficient raw materials and manpower, operating 24/7, four hundred thirty-two thousand rifle bullets could be produced in a day.
Assuming five bullets per point, that's eighty-six thousand four hundred points; even if sold in bulk at half price, ten bullets per point, it's forty-three thousand points.
In just four days, enough points to produce a Tier Two Evolution Agent, similar to a money-printing machine.
Unfortunately, fleshy tendrils grew wildly here, intertwining in a complex network.
Lin Feng and Bai Ye had neither the ability nor means to transport the entire bullet production line outside.
They could only move the stamping and shaping machine for bullet casings on the edge to the surface, providing a preliminary solution to the bullet production problem.
However, this stamping machine was not light, weighing over ten tons. There were various cutting molds and cores of different shapes corresponding to different bullet sizes.
Mainly due to its size, with a three-meter-wide and seven-meter-long base, the middle was all hydraulic cutters and stamping and molding areas, essentially condensing multiple processes into one production line.
Lin Feng and Bai Ye lifted the heavy equipment at either end and steadily walked towards the entrance.
Fortunately, the ten-ton weight didn't pose much pressure on them, especially for Bai Ye at the front. Being a Tier Two Late-Stage Evolution, she could exert a terrifying seventy to eighty tons of power; thus, the ten-ton equipment felt as light as lifting half a water bucket with one hand to her.
So most of Bai Ye's attention was focused on avoiding the fleshy tendrils to prevent the activation of the Mutated Egg, which could attract the birth and pursuit of a Tier Three Distortion King.
The short five-hundred-meter distance, under their cautious advance, took a full ten minutes, requiring several checks on each step for safety assurance.
Successfully moving out a machine, both took a deep breath of relief, and Bai Ye promptly tasked subordinates to quickly transport the bullet stamping machine to the surface.
Then, she led Lin Feng back along their path to move the last machine.
After an hour of searching and transporting, Lin Feng's state gradually declined, not so much in physical strength, but his self-will in the mind felt pressured under mental pollution invasion.
Bai Ye also noticed Lin Feng's state. His hand was trembling slightly, needing to allocate significant attention to suppress the howling whispers to prevent them from being more than just sounds in the mind.
Thus, Lin Feng's reactions and movements became slower, which was not a good sign.
Bai Ye slightly frowned, gesturing in front of the other stamping machine, asking Lin Feng if he could still manage.
Lin Feng nodded softly, signaling Bai Ye to proceed.
The two then lifted the large equipment, intending to return the same way when...
The stamping machine inadvertently snagged a finger-thin fleshy tendril. In an instant, Bai Ye had a strong foreboding!
The next second,
a thud sounded behind the woman!
Then a surge of intense Tier Three aura gushed out!
Bai Ye's hair bristled, blue light floated in her eyes, with her spatial superpower on the verge of erupting.
Meanwhile, a now-alert Lin Feng used his small searchlight to clearly see what suddenly appeared behind Bai Ye.
It was a slender human-like figure, four or five meters tall. Though resembling a Tier Three Distortion King, it was very thin, like an average person stretched out twice as long.
