Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 181: Inferior Battle Vehicles and Heavy Truck Transporters Arrangements


Looking at the two light combat vehicles and two heavy truck transporters before him, Lin Feng was filled with anger.

With a cannon in hand, no one could disrupt his plans.

Beside him, Ah Lian was somewhat composed and quickly spoke up:

"Actually, it's not the fault of Dawn Village; the Hunting Wilderness Guild made a mistake."

At this point, Lin Feng had already approached the light combat vehicle, looking at the attendant evolver driving it, his brow slightly furrowed.

The two vehicles, similar in shape, shared identical high chassis, standing seventy to eighty centimeters off the ground, so the tires were very large, with deep treads and excellent elasticity.

The majority of the tires were made from natural rubber, sourced from plantations in other towns, just as Oasis Town used Rock-Horned Horse breeding to create the photovoltaic panel industry, with clear division of labor.

For modified combat vehicles, such good tires were necessary to ensure their off-road performance.

Whereas other ordinary electric cars were often second-hand, or even made from re-melted scrap tires and materials, unsuitable for long-term use.

But when cruising on the flat global shipping lanes, it wasn't much of an issue, like Oasis Avenue.

Besides the tires, Lin Feng was most concerned about the power issues, which indeed presented problems; data was already showing:

「Light Off-Road Combat Vehicle Lv17, Red Quality」

「Basic Attributes: Defense 80; Damage 60; Durability 7/10; Top Speed 50 km; Can consume five Life Value points for upgrades」

「Extra Attributes: Extreme Off-Road (adaptable to complex wilderness terrain, top speed 50-80 km, lasting three hours), Firepower Strike (a universal machine gun mounted below the windows, 7.62mm caliber, damage 40, with 200 rounds)」

「Note: Extreme Off-Road attribute has insufficient motor power, reducing top speed to 50 km」

「Evaluation: A light combat vehicle with excellent off-road performance, sacrificing defense for this capability, achieving a top speed of eighty kilometers per hour; however, due to motor aging, a new motor is needed to reach top speed」

After reading the introduction, Lin Feng's brow slightly furrowed.

The combat vehicle's modification strategy was to trade defense for absolute performance, with a defense of only eighty; using 25mm small grenades could directly destroy it.

Only capable of defending against small caliber bullets, like 12.7mm large-caliber bullets that could still cause damage.

The defense level was roughly equivalent to light infantry vehicles of Old Earth, able to resist rifle bullets, but vulnerable to heavy machine guns or anti-material sniper rifles.

This made it only suitable for low-intensity combat, as any enemy with heavy firepower or a fully armed mid-tier one evolver would be unstoppable.

Thus, its design philosophy was to win through absolute speed, achieving eighty kilometers per hour, equating to over twenty-two meters per second.

This speed was not considered fast, according to Old Earth's professional standards, as even Level 9 Enhanced People could achieve such speeds.

It was commonplace for evolvers.

Data from back then showed that Tier One Middle and Late Stages evolvers' speed limits were approximately 30-60-90 meters per second.

In other words, extreme values of one hundred, two hundred, and three hundred kilometers, far surpassing all creatures, resembling little supermen.

But being able to run at such speeds doesn't mean they can maintain it continuously.

Bearing heavy armor drastically reduced speed, allowing only slow progress, and physical limits meant that under maximal effort, exhaustion would occur within half an hour.

No one can keep fighting relentlessly, unless willing to burn Life Force, overdrawing their evolutionary potential.

Especially in wasteland battles, facing the blazing sun overhead with Three Days in the Sky's high temperature exposure. Temperatures of forty degrees, prolonged tire exposure risked rubber dissolution, let alone organic life forms.

Even though evolvers' physical qualities had vastly improved, there were inevitable impacts; their burst limits and duration were well below the extreme values achievable in comfortable conditions.

Moreover, this extreme level could merely be maintained for several seconds, akin to the peak sprinting speed of short-distance runners, followed by rapid exhaustion.

Thus, a vehicle capable of running at eighty kilometers per hour, adapting to complex wasteland terrain, crossing mountains, easily traversing rugged and rocky surfaces...

Whether pursuing or escaping, for evolvers, it was an excellent choice!

But now its most critical feature, the vehicle's performance, was hindered by motor issues, rendering it unattainable...

How is that different from buying a normal electric car?

At best, it had better tires, longer endurance, but its space and comfort were far inferior to standard powered electric cars, at least those had air conditioning and beds, or compartments for carrying goods.

After reading the attribute introductions, Lin Feng took a deep breath, then began inquiring about Ah Lian regarding this transaction.

He dispatched Chen Shanshan and two others, with Chen Shanshan primarily representing his will, Liu Mingfei overseeing vehicle inspections, while Ah Lian, being slightly more astute, could handle emergencies if they arose.

With the change already before them, he naturally needed to hear her opinion.

"What did the guild say? Our order should have come directly from the guild, acquiring the vehicles; why does it need parts temporarily sourced from Dawn Village?"

Lin Feng calmly asked, contemplating this aspect after reviewing the vehicle's attributes.

Ah Lian sighed, shrugging her shoulders helplessly:

"Apart from the three heavy trucks routinely carrying goods, the guild only has idle vehicles in cycling maintenance status."

"Mainly the pilgrimage convoy's vehicles, traveling to and from Holy City over ten thousand kilometers, needing maintenance rotation each return."

"Running empty vehicles leads to wear and tear, and the guild couldn't maintain a professional repair team, so they restored special vehicles like combat and heavy truck transporters long ago."
