Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 56: Motorcycle Village, Level 10 Light Passenger Car (Additional Update)
Unlike the uniform decoration of Shengquan Village, Shuguang Village is well-organized. As the first human gathering place that Lin Feng has ever seen, Motorcycle Village is the same as when he first saw it...

Chaotic, noisy, and passionate.

The sound of metal colliding and knocking could be heard from the village as soon as Lin Feng and his companions approached.

At the end of the advancing convoy, at the entrance to the motorcycle village.

Four guards armed with short-barreled submachine guns pointed their guns at the approaching tricycle.

Chen Shanshan took out the transaction order and explained her purpose. The guard captain lying in the car looked through the most recently reported list, confirmed it, and waved out the window, signaling to let him pass.

Then he drew the curtains and continued to rest.

A guard put away his gun, got on an electric bike, and led everyone into the village.

This was Lin Feng's first time here. He looked outside through the gap in the armored door of the tricycle.

The motorcycle village, with thousands of motorcycles of various models, is more like a mobile automobile repair and modification factory than a village or a fleet.

There is a platform specifically responsible for dismantling, an electrified hydraulic crane, and a large group of welders holding electric welding tongs, who are cutting and welding the frames that have just been put into storage.

At the outermost area, a bunch of heavy trucks were driving around, towing dozens of empty trucks with only frames, chassis and tires left, and photovoltaic panels spread from the front of the trucks to the roofs of the empty trucks.

From a distance, it looks like a hundred-meter-long train that is used to transport cars.

There are no less than twenty heavy trucks like this.

Therefore, among the one thousand vehicles in the motorcycle village, more than half are modified materials and platforms, providing travel services for the other four villages in Oasis Town.

When there is a need for Oasis battleships, the Motorcycle Village will be asked to provide them with services. For example, every Holy Spring Day, the pilgrim convoys that go to the big city to trade supplies are made by this group of vehicle maintenance technicians.

Soon, led by the guards, the group arrived at the order production location.

After hanging the tricycle in the repair garage, everyone got off and saw a long van towing an automatic vehicle. It was originally white-gray, but was painted with gray-yellow paint to conceal its body on the wasteland.

The original six-meter length was lengthened to nearly seven meters after the modification because there was an additional circle of folding iron aisles on both sides and the rear of the car body.

When needed, it can be lowered to form a half-meter wide corridor, especially the trunk, which is lengthened by nearly one meter, and the width of the car is increased from two meters to three meters.

This is equivalent to an extra nine square meters of space.

This design is very common on cars in Oasis Town.

For example, there is such a fixed design on both sides of the hunting guild’s vehicle body, which can be used to accommodate the vehicles of hunters who come to do business, and can also be used for people to walk, which is very convenient.

But for Lin Feng and his team, this design not only provides an aisle, but also space for storing supplies.

It can be used to store the team members' luggage and the prey they hunt when they go out.

Lin Feng was worried about piling the carcasses of wild beasts into the car. The stench of blood and feces and urine was unbearable for human beings.

Now we can directly hang the animal carcasses on the back and sides of the car, dissect them while walking, and put a blood trough underneath, which can automatically drain and collect blood, solving the preservation problem without causing any waste.

It’s really convenient and easy to use.

Lin Feng was very satisfied with this modification.

The assembly master opened the side door and invited Lin Feng and the other two to go inside for a look.

After entering, the car was nearly 1.8 meters high, and the raised chassis was 40 centimeters off the ground. The height of the entire car exceeded 2.2 meters, which was much higher than the original version that Lin Feng drove.

The row of driver's and passenger seats is nearly 1.5 meters wide. By folding down the seat backs, you can use it as a recliner to sleep directly.

The second row of seats has a space of 1.5 meters, and you can stretch your legs out without any problem after sitting down.

Moreover, the backrests of the three seats can be folded flat to form a small bed that is 1.5 meters long and 1.7 meters wide, which is more than enough for two people to sleep sideways.

The second is the rear compartment of the last row.

According to the request of Lin Feng and others, the remaining three meters of space were converted into a sleeping area.

There are two iron beds on each side, 70 cm wide and 2 meters long, with more than half a meter of space left for the aisle in the middle.

There is 30 centimeters of space under the lower bunk, which can be used to put things. There is 1.5 meters of space above, which is evenly divided between the upper and lower bunks, with a distance of 70 centimeters between them, which is enough to barely straighten the upper body.

Of course, these living areas are not the focus.

The focus is to check the car's power system and the central control system of the front driver's seat to see whether the power is sufficient and whether the button transmission is smooth.

These are the keys to long-term driving of the car.

Fortunately, ordinary trams that do not have energy storage systems installed directly use photovoltaic panels to generate electricity to power the motor. The structure is not complicated, so it can last for more than ten years without breaking down.

Simply replace the aging photovoltaic panels.

Lin Feng didn't have much driving experience, let alone Chen Shanshan, who was only twelve years old in the old Earth and had only touched the steering wheel a few times.

Therefore, the test drive inspection task was assigned to Liu Mingfei, the professional contestant among the three.

As a professional driver with more than ten years of experience, I have been driving taxis for so many years that I am very familiar with the performance of cars. Combined with the auto repair knowledge I just learned, I have made up for the shortcomings in theory...

Liu Mingfei is now considered an expert. He can find many problems just by taking a test drive.

As he sat in the driver's seat, he asked the maintenance technician to unlock the towing chain on the front of the car, then stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel sharply to the left.

Inside the car, an engineer from Shuguang Village, holding the order paper, began to explain the photovoltaic panels and motor power system:
"You've selected the standard package, which includes 20 square meters of standard photovoltaic panels on the rooftop. It's a six-by-three configuration, based on the six-meter-long vehicle body. The last two panels extend out the rear of the vehicle to serve as sunshades for the iron aisle."

"Based on a thrust of 100 kilograms per square meter, it can push a two-ton object at a speed of two kilometers per hour."

"This tram weighs 1.5 tons, and the entire power system, including the photovoltaic panels and motors, weighs 300 kilograms, so it can only carry a maximum of 200 kilograms of cargo."

When Lin Feng and the other two in the car heard this, they frowned.

The Shuguang shop manager seemed to have played a trick by not including the weight of the photovoltaic panels and motor in the maximum thrust. Given the 200 kg per square meter thrust of the premium model and the 500 kg per square meter thrust of the top model, the extra 300 kg wasn't noticeable.

But for ordinary files, it is quite fatal.

The original load surplus was half a ton, but now it has been slashed again to only two hundred kilograms, which can only carry three people at most, not to mention other supplies.

Seeing the customer's bad face and frown...

An engineer from Shuguang Village nearby quickly explained:
"Of course, this is at a speed of two kilometers per hour. After we met with the mechanics at the motorcycle village, we set up a two-speed adjustment. The low speed is one kilometer per hour, which is consistent with the speed of Oasis Town."

"In low gear, coupled with the advanced motor, this tram's thrust can be increased by 50%, which means a maximum load of three tons!"

"After deducting the weight of the vehicle and its power system, there's still 1.2 tons left, or 1,200 kilograms. Even with ten people, let alone the four of us, it could easily move!"

After the explanation, the engineer added:
"It's just that the 2 km/h gear might seem a bit underpowered, only reaching 1.5 km/h at best. But for driving around Village 5 and keeping up with Oasis Town's progress, it's definitely more than enough!"

Lin Feng was not very interested in these things. As long as he confirmed that the car was in good condition, the rest would be left to the item upgrade system.

Lin Feng asked Liu Mingfei, who was in the driving seat, to open the iron aisles on both sides and the rear of the car. He walked outside and began to check the properties of the photovoltaic panels.

Out of the corner of my eye, results popped up one after another:

"Low-quality photovoltaic panels level 6, white quality"

「基础属性：发电效率10%，24小时发电量1.5度；耐久度：7/10，可消耗一点生命值进行升级」

「Note: Remaining service life is 3 years」

It's the same as the sample I saw in the store, but the durability is a bit lower, and the lifespan isn't as long as they claim, which is one wasteland year, or six years.

And it’s only halfway, with three years left.

Lin Feng felt that this point needed to be discussed.

The load issue of the pushing amount mentioned above can be said to be ambiguous in the wording of the order contract, but the service life is clearly written in black and white.

After a thorough inspection, we found that although they were all low-quality level 6 photovoltaic panels, they had at least half of their lifespan, which was less than five years, and did not reach the six-year warranty stated in the order.

At this time in the locomotive village, Liu Mingfei, who had driven the tram around several times with difficulty, also found many problems.

One is the serious lack of power. The second gear is just like not being in use, and it is less than half the speed of the low gear. When accelerating, it is like a turtle crawling.

The engineers have already explained this.

It’s not the fault of the motorcycle village modification master.

The second problem is that the front wheels are not equipped with suspension and shock absorbers, so any bump will cause severe vibrations, which is not suitable for traveling in the mountains. However, the order package clearly states that both the front and rear wheels will be installed.

Another big problem is the directional transmission between the steering wheel and the axle, which is a bit sluggish, as is the accelerator; the gears in the chassis need fine-tuning, and more lubricant should be added to ensure smooth operation.

As for some other minor problems, Liu Mingfei pointed them all out without missing a single one.

After returning to the maintenance depot, Liu Mingfei talked about the problems with the tram itself, while Lin Feng focused on the quality of the photovoltaic panels and pointed out the problem of aging life.

Finally, the locomotive village agreed to return the vehicle to the factory for repairs.

In Shuguang Village, for the engineers, this batch of goods was already the good quality ones selected from the pile of semi-waste products gathering dust in the warehouse.

It was already reported as scrap, so no matter how much was bought, it would go into the department's slush fund...

I thought that no one among the wasteland residents would know the value of the goods, but I didn't expect that Lin Feng, a man with sharp eyes, would appear and accurately pick out many defective products.

But it is impossible to rework the products, and replacing all of them with defective products will cost more and will also be recorded in the account.

Therefore, the engineer used the assembly molding as an excuse to reject Lin Feng's request for replacement and instead offered a discount as compensation.

If you are willing to give another 200-point discount, after deducting the deposit, you only need to pay 700 points.

By this calculation, the entire power system only cost a total of one thousand points.

It saved a lot of money immediately.

Lin Feng agreed immediately.

Anyway, as long as it is not in a scrapped state, the durability related to the service life is not a problem for him.

In this way, at ten o'clock in the morning, the maintenance technician of the motorcycle village finished his work and finally gave a deduction compensation of fifty points.

Because some minor problems are caused during welding, it is not realistic to dismantle and repair them for products that have already been put on the road.

Anyway, it doesn't affect the performance of the car. Falling off one or two pieces of metal is not a big problem for driving.

Liu Mingfei looked at the problems he had found and found an unexpected surprise, and suddenly felt that all the study of those auto repair books was not in vain.

Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan also looked at him with admiration.

Praise several times in succession.

Just like that, when Liu Mingfei drove the modified Jinbei Haisheng electric car that he had just handed over out of the Fifth Village...

The team actually had an extra 250 points.

After braking all the way, Liu Mingfei arrived at the Fifth Village Hunting Guild and parked the car next to the guild.

Lin Feng got out of the car in a good mood, patted the front of the car, and the attribute data appeared in the corner of his eye:
Light passenger car level 10, red quality

Basic Attributes: Defense 60; Durability 7/10; Top Speed ​​2km

　I caught a cold due to the temperature drop, so I’ll stay up late to update!
