The output was nearly five times greater than expected—a perfect answer sheet handed in by the Madman Weapon Factory.
At this rate, if the factory's production lines hadn't tripled in size during the disaster, its current output would be fifteen times what it had been before.
Quantified per gun, that meant the production time for each one was only one-fifteenth of what it had been originally.
This was far too exaggerated. It was practically as if the Steam Age had suddenly leaped into the Industrial Age, making tremendous progress overnight.
The first thing Su Mo did was have Zero retrieve the factory's surveillance footage from the previous night, trying to find the reason behind it.
But as the footage played, a look of sudden understanding appeared on his face.
"Looks like my thinking is still constrained by my understanding of modern industry."
A high-precision assembly machine in a modern superfactory could assemble thirty to fifty thousand bullets in an hour.
The crude machine tools of the wasteland couldn't reach that efficiency. They could barely manage even a third of it.
But so what?
If one machine couldn't do it, use two. If two weren't enough, use three or four, until the demand was met! Doomsday Madman had invested the entire production-expansion budget into machine tools.
Previously, the Weapon Factory had at most three machine tools operating simultaneously. But last night, not counting the repaired master machine, Su Mo had seen at least thirty machines running furiously in the factory workshop. Quite a few had even been borrowed from other factories.
Compared with before, the factory's capacity had increased by far more than tenfold.
The insane budget spending had even left the workers' wages unpaid.
Could that have happened in the modern world?
What factory would dare to increase production so
