Chapter 91 - MCV Upgrade 3

With this upgrade, the energy Module of the MCV was upgraded to a monstrous level. Now came the Living area. For this Arther didn't want to waste many resources but just increase the area and defensive measures.

Inside the MCV, the diesel engine and the fuel tank were placed just below the two cabins, the number of floors was also increased from two to three for convenience. The lowest and the highest floors were of the same heights while the height of the middle floor was a bid increased.

The living area was as always on the lowest floor, with two single bedrooms, two couple bedrooms, a master bedroom, and two six-bed living quarters. The two quarters were made by Arther for emergency purposes.

While the other rooms were designed according to the demands of everyone. The bedroom for Mey was of modern design and was reduced in size a little bit and a small laboratory was added inside. It was not with many facilities but it was still her private lab. His parent's bedroom was a complete bedroom with a double bed and ordinary decorations. The other two single rooms were with a single bed, and the wall colors and all were customized with the help of the system.

The emergency quarters had their separate washrooms and bathroom. With gray-white walls and six bunk beds. One for males and the other for females.

Then a partition was placed in the rear of the floor creating a room of the same area as the double bedrooms, this was the medical room along with cold storage for medicines. Then a joint washroom and a bathroom were also included.

The master bedroom was a huge one, with its separate luxury washroom and bath. This was obviously for Arther. It also had a path directly to the third floor.

After the basic layout was completed and the design was saved the system automatically designed the electric and water system.

Then he opened the system options to find anything cheap,

[Water Pipe:

It can increase the efficiency of the water system by 10% and reduced water consumption by 20%.]

[Wireless Electric system:

The electric system will be directly inlaid inside the wall and flooring using wires. Until the entire MCV is not destructed the electric system will not fail. Reduce electricity consumption by 10%]

[AI medical table:

It does not require any advanced knowledge to use. The inlaid AI can perform various medical processes. Comes with the inlaid advanced medical operating tool. Increase the electricity by 30%]

[Basic Laboratory:

A basic laboratory for the R&D, it has all the basic required pieces of equipment. And an AI assistance system.]

With this modification, their living conditions can be considered to be the best in the apocalypse. Arther selected the laboratory due to the full set of equipment and tools coming with it and also for future aspects. To develop in the future he will need his own R&D department and this laboratory will be the foundation of it.

The second floor was dedicated to the planting module completely. For this, he didn't want to be frugal and directly chose from the system options.

[Indoor Farm

Level: 1

Area: 3acre

Properties:

Automated Soil fertilizing system

Automated irrigation system

Automated Temperature management system

Automated Moisture retainer

Automated Ploughing machine

Designated 10tons grain storage

Poultry: 10animals

30,000 gallons water tank for farming.]

This was enough for their food consumption for the time being. And he also added another 15,000 gallons of water tank with an inlaid water purifier. This was for their daily consumption and was connected to the water system in the MCV.

The third floor was converted into a war barrack by Arther, the bunkers on the roof were removed and were replaced by automated bunkers. These bunkers were made of reinforced bulletproof glass and had a firing range of 360 degrees, it also with a aiming function for using heavy weapons. While the third floor also had two shooting platforms on both sides, these platforms when turned on can slide out of the MCV body.

This floor was also directly connected to the two cabins. It came with main dimensional storage for arms and ammunitions connected to the auxiliary storages on the platforms, bunkers, and cabins.

Then came the most important and exciting module for Arther, the weapon module. After obtaining the heavy weapons in the warehouse Arther has officially retired the Ballista.

For this, he also took down all the weapons on the vehicles in the parking.

After counting all the weapons he started laying down, it felt like completing a puzzle by adding in the pieces.

He started with the shooting platforms. From inside it looked like a glass cubicle with a fixed rotating chair in the center. He placed a heavy machine in front, then hung a submachine gun on one side and a light machine gun on the other side. He also placed other small arms such as carbine and pistol for an emergency.

The front bunker was fitted with a turret platform and an autocannon with 600round per minute. While the rear bunker was fitted with an anti-tank and anti-aircraft gun, and a fixed grenade launcher.

All these systems were almost manual and only a little assistance is required from the AI.

He then placed a rotary gun on either side of the MCV inlaid in the armor, they were connected to the completely automated system which was placed in the second cabin. There was also an 83mm mortar in the roof armor and an autocannon in the rear.

All these heavy weapons were meant to attack only when necessary as their ammunitions were not much. And they will always be hidden inside the body armor, only when used will they protrude out. The weapons were fully automated and were attached to the AI weapon system in the second cabin. Making the second cabin more like a weapon control room.

After the laying of the weapon module was finished Arther looked at his final showdown baby. The RCV.

He also took down all the tools from the parking garage and created a small space on the third floor to place the RCV and installed all those tools too. When he was thinking about what to do with the RCV the system notified him that it can be attached with the MCV.

When he clicked to accept it a new screen appeared in the combat room, this will show the footage from the cameras on the RCV and other systems on it. After thinking for a small time he installed the mine clearance plug taken from the ESV. Considering the current defense of the MCV it won't be harmed by a land mine but the RCV can be used as an auxiliary support vehicle for road clearance and remote fire support. He also fitted two light machine guns and an anti-tank gun on it.

Looking at the completed design of the MCV in the manual mode Arther didn't think much and presses the confirm option. With a slight buzz all the metals in the MCV storage were consumed at a visible rate and so were the things outside. Even the huge metal door of the parking was slowly eaten up.

Seeing this consumption Arther had a wry smile and then got out of the MCV. There was a small timer on the system pane showing 30hours. This means they will have to wait till the day after tomorrow to leave.

Until then Arther decided to rest and also try to find any other good things in the vicinity.. With this thoughts, he went to his room to sleep.
