    Although Lincoln reminded everyone last night not to think that you are invincible just because you can shoot, and this morning's test also proved that the lethality of firearms against mutant monsters-especially BOSS-level monsters is somewhat insufficient, everyone, including Lincoln himself,  They were very excited when practicing shooting. After all, no matter how weak the power of firearms was, they were still more powerful than their bare hands.  Furthermore, automatic rifle fire can kill ordinary mutant monsters within 50 meters. Just for this reason, shooting practice is very valuable.  What¡¯s more, if my sister, who is extremely athletic, becomes a sharpshooter and even masters the legendary ¡°gun fighting skills¡±, wouldn¡¯t she be even more invincible?  But unfortunately, my sister¡¯s talent in shooting can only be said to be average. The person with the best shooting talent is Chu Dong, but it is not amazing, it is just average and the best.  Because it was impossible for Chu Dong and others to practice shooting every day without doing anything, they stopped practicing and started other work after they became familiar with the entire shooting process and were able to hit the target at a distance of thirty meters.  Since they received supplies from the underground supermarket in the central square, and a batch of military rations were stored in the logistics warehouse of the nuclear submarine base next to them, they no longer had to worry about food for a short period of time; since the mutated monsters were not zombies, there was nothing they could do about it.  Repair the city wall defenses, so they don't have to worry about defense.  However, since the firearms cannot be used in actual combat for the time being, and there is also the problem of not being able to obtain replenishment in a short period of time, we use the bones of ordinary monsters and BOSS-level monsters, evolved trees, and steel bars and steel pipes in the construction site.  As well as various industrial products and semi-finished products with certain lethality, self-made weapons will become an important task for them recently.  ¡ª¡ªAlthough the homemade spear made of ordinary iron pipes in the hands of my sister can even penetrate the bones in the eye sockets of BOSS-level monsters, this is because my sister is strong enough and her fighting skills are high enough. It does not mean that this kind of gun is even crudely made.  Even crude weapons are really so useful.  In fact, it is very difficult to fight BOSS-level monsters with such a "soft" iron pipe. If one accidentally bends the iron pipe, its center of gravity will change, and the user will immediately lose "  "Feel", and even if it happens to poke into the eye of a BOSS-level monster, the bone in the eye socket will only bend it further, making it impossible to penetrate it.  This homemade spear cannot be used to block, chop or sweep. When using it to pick, you must also pay attention to the strength and angle. If you want to penetrate the bones behind the eye sockets, the direction of force must be consistent with the axis of the spear as much as possible, and  Accurately pierce the deepest part of the eye socket So if conditions permit, of course my sister would also like better weapons. The limitations of using a homemade spear made from ordinary iron pipes to fight BOSS-level monsters are too great, and there is always a sense of constraint.  The feeling of being unable to perform.  In addition, the weapon nerd Lincoln also knows that several manufacturing materials are very easy to obtain, but even if he pokes Du Niang, it will only show "good things" that "according to relevant laws, regulations and policies, some search results are not displayed", such as using granulated sugar.  , rubber, gasoline, thermite and other thingsa cocktail of sorts.  In addition to patrolling the territory of the force, destroying invading monsters and making weapons, another task that Chu Dong and the others must perform every day is to take care of various crops in farmland and greenhouses.  When all the plants grew wildly yesterday, the various crops in the farmland and greenhouses also grew a lot taller. The only veteran military doctor in Chu Dong's team with agricultural production experience judged that these crops did not mature in advance, they simply  It's just increased in size, so presumably the fruits they finally produce should also increase in size.  Originally, the old military doctor planned to turn the nearby vacant land used for building buildings into fields, but Zhao Fengheng, the small boss of Baohai, and Wang Liang, the construction team engineer, told him that the vacant land near the seaside was actually created by reclamation.  , the soil on the ground is raw soil that is quite lacking in humus.  So the old military doctor canceled his immediate plan to farm nearby, and planned to plant some fruit trees on nearby hillsides after the territory he could take care of expanded, and then go to several nearby villages to irrigate farmland that is more convenient.  Various grain and oil crops will be replanted, and vegetables may also be planted depending on consumption.  As for the nearby open space, wild plants that can grow in poor soil continue to be "occupied" - those wild plants grow and wither on this land year after year, which will gradually change the humus layer on the surface.  Thick, it plays a role in improving soil fertility.  However, regarding plants, there is still a problem that Chu Dong cannot determine - maybe it is because the mutation rate of plants is very low, maybe it is because plants do not mutate at all, but only evolve. Anyway, in Chu Dong's teamIn the territory, no strange mutant plants have been found yet.  This should be a good thing for all surviving humans. It¡¯s just the woods and flowers on the roadside. If 99% of the various crops in the fields have turned into weird things, humans may just be careful.  Take care of the 1% of crops that have not mutated, and then wait for them to re-seed.  ¡ª¡ªOr, there will be a certain "Shen Nong" in the last days who will risk being poisoned to death to taste herbs and find some new edible plants.  Moreover, because the seeds of plants must have also mutated, the seeds of rice, wheat, corn, cereals, soybeans, peanuts, sesame, rapeseed, etc. that have not lost their ability to develop, such as rice, wheat, corn, cereals, etc., stored in the granary, are shelled, ground, and  Extracting oil and then eating it is also a very risky thing, but there will definitely be many survivors who have not considered this to play the role of Shennong.  In addition, as long as the plant has a chance of mutating, there is a risk in consuming the seeds stored before the red light flashed. Even if the mutation rate of the plant is only one in 10,000 or one in 100,000, the number of mutated seeds hidden in a granary  ¡­ Let¡¯s do some calculations now: Suppose the volume of a grain of rice is ten cubic millimeters, then there are one hundred grains of rice in one cubic centimeter, one hundred thousand grains in one cubic decimeter, and one hundred million grains in one cubic meter.  rice.  Assume that the mutation rate of plants is one in 100,000, then one thousand grains in one cubic meter of rice will mutate.  Finally, assuming that the volume of rice stored in a granary is 20 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 5 meters high - that is, 1,000 cubic meters, then there will be one million mutant rice seeds hidden in this granary!  Even though 99% of these mutant rice seeds that grow strange shapes are actually non-toxic, there are still 10,000 poisonous seeds left, one in every 0.1 cubic meters on average. In addition, it is unclear how strong the toxicity is.  The toxicity of each poisonous mutant seed may not be the same.  The dimensions of a 50-pound rice bag are 0.77 meters long and 0.45 meters wide. Because the bag is sewn together from two pieces of cloth, the circumference of the bag mouth is 0.9 meters.  Put 50 kilograms of rice into it and stretch it into a circular bottom. The circumference of the bag mouth will not change, but the length will decrease. The reduced length is the radius of the bottom surface. Calculate the radius if the circumference of the bottom surface is known. Roughly take the pi ratio of 3, then the radius  The length is 0.15 meters, and the remaining height is about 0.6 meters. Finally, find the volume of the grain bag, which is about 0.04 cubic meters.  Considering the volume lost when rice is shelled and ground into polished rice, the original volume of rice milled is tentatively calculated as 0.05 cubic meters, so on average there is one poisonous rice seed in every two bags of rice.  Next the next step is no longer even. There is only one grain of poisonous rice. Every time you cook, there are only two results: scooping out or not scooping out. The toxins ingested cannot be evenly distributed between two bags of rice totaling 100 kilograms.  It is impossible to distribute it evenly into a 50-pound bag of rice, but it can only be distributed unevenly into the pot of rice from which the poisonous rice was scooped out.  In the toxicity level, the lethal dose of highly toxic substances is less than 5 mg per kilogram, and the lethal dose of extremely toxic substances is 5-50 mg per kilogram. Even if a rice grain with a volume of 10 cubic millimeters is ground into polished rice, the weight should be 10 mg.  Above, a pot of rice for three people is about one kilogram of rice, six people are two kilograms of rice, and nine people are three kilograms of rice.  This also means that if the toxin content of this poisonous rice is high enough, it can poison ten people in Chu Dong's team even if it is not extremely toxic. As for whether it can be poisoned, firstly, it depends on the mutated rice.  How toxic it is depends on how strong the evolved human body is.  But even if the toxins ingested each time are not fatal, worrying about being poisoned every time they eat, and being poisoned once after eating two bags of rice on average is something that no one can accept - unless they have no choice but to accept it.  .  In that case, it should be the only way to test the poison with someoneor an animal every time before eating like the emperors and high-ranking nobles did in the past.  Precisely because he fully considered the dangers of mutated edible plants, Chu Dong was very concerned about checking the crops in farmland and greenhouses. After he explained the rationale in detail to everyone, all crops  The fields where the pre-apocalyptic seeds were planted will be strictly inspected over and over again, and seedlings with strange shapes will be removed immediately.  And everyone unanimously agreed not to eat anything left before the end of the world that might sprout - such as whole corn kernels, beans, peanuts, sesame seeds, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. The staple food should also give priority to various ground foods.  Powdered grain, in case there are still very few rice grains with undamaged germs in the polished rice.  Although this is completely over-cautious, there is no harm in being more careful. Anyway, the existing flour alone is enough for them to eat until they die - what Binhai City's six million people eat every dayThe total amount of flour lost is enough to feed 10,000 people for 600 days. Think carefully about what a huge number this is!  PS: Can you please keep voting for us for the Dream Cup?  The voting page is right at the bottom of the introduction of the book page, which is very eye-catching.
