The celebration lasted until the second half of the night.
On the last night of the Great Desert, if Chu Guang had not set up a limited-time unboxing event on the official website in a hurry, those noisy little players would have been happy in the game until dawn.
These guys really want to live in the game world...
The next day, Chu Guang got up a morning bed.
While yawning, he lifted the curtain and just stepped out of the tent, he saw Rama wearing a ten-style exoskeleton standing at the door.
This exoskeleton was seized from the Enlightenment Society. The model belongs to the standard equipment of the People's Federation Army. Compared with the police-style five-type light cavalry, it emphasizes the defense of rifle bullets and explosion fragments.
After the alliance repaired it, it painted a layer of cement ash and pasted it with the enemy identification logo, which was considered the alliance's equipment.
In order to become familiar with the usage of exoskeletons as soon as possible, she has almost worn it on her body when she sleeps.
Seeing Chu Guang walk out of the camp, Lu Bei, who was guarding the door, immediately stepped forward and saluted him and reported.
Sir, she stood here at dawn.
Chu Guang nodded, looked at Rama standing at the door, and said in a gentle tone.
Is there anything wrong?
As Lu Bei looked like he put his right fist on his chest, Rama lowered his head and said respectfully.
You told me last night that I will arrange my future work this morning.
It seems that this is indeed true.
Chu Guang originally planned to ask Captain Adria what was wrong with him last night, but thinking that the big nose had probably not got up yet, he looked at Rama and said.
Since you have put on this armor, I must have realized it in my heart, so I won’t talk much nonsense.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
Come with me, I will introduce you to me.
who?
Your future partner.
partner?
Rama was stunned for a moment, but saw Chu Guang passing by her and walking towards the other side of the camp, so he followed closely.
The group came to a camp.
It happened that the curtain of the tent was lifted up, and a fair and beautiful face came into Rama's eyes.
It was a dignified woman with long light blonde hair and a high ponytail with a simple hairband.
When he first reacted when he saw her, Rama had a thought in his mind that the man and himself were completely different from him.
Even if she was wearing only a very ordinary coat and dirty jeans, it was difficult to completely cover up the elegance of her every move.
A distant concept came to Rama's mind, and the man was like the ladies of the big landlords, but not so much.
Dear administrator...good morning.When he saw the manager, there was a look of surprise on Teresa's face and she said with a slight bow.
The same goes for you, good morning.
After saying hello briefly, Chu Guang looked at Rama beside him and introduced, "This is the girl I mentioned to you on the phone."
Hearing this, Teresa's eyes lit up and she looked at the lady wearing an exoskeleton.
You are Ms. Rama?
Rama responded embarrassingly.
Yes, it's me...who are you?
Theresa said happily, curling her lips.
My name is Teresa, a resident from the Alliance... But it may be a bit strange to say that, from now on, this will be one of the restoration areas of the Alliance.
She was once one of the princesses of the Falcon Kingdom, but now she has given up on this identity and is now a resident of the Alliance.
Looking at Rama who was confused, Chu Guang briefly introduced Teresa's past and continued.
At first, she worked as a chore and bookkeeping work in the refugee home. After the establishment of the Luoye City, she followed the Expeditionary Force through the Lion Kingdom and arrived at the Honey Badger Kingdom, responsible for coordinating the management of rescue supplies, some post-war reconstruction work, and rescuing local survivors.
According to her former boss, Ma Ban, the city lord of Luoye City, and her former partner Yad Miebadger, she has performed outstandingly in her work, so I plan to appoint her as the city lord of Kaituo City to be responsible for the administrative and management affairs of this settlement.
Like several other survivor settlements, the first lord of Kaituo City was still appointed by the alliance.
Chu Guang needs a candidate who has sufficient management experience and practical experience, has done specific survivor rescue work, and can understand the alliance's creed.
As for identity.
This has never been a problem in the league.
His chief of staff was the surrendered Willant officer. The lord of Dawn City was once just a serf, and the lord of Dawn City was once a refugee who was deserted and disaster.
As for Rama, he has no management experience, and he himself prefers to be a warrior rather than sitting in the office to process documents.
Holding Rama's hands, Teresa stared at the girl's simple eyes intently and said in a serious tone.
I have heard your story. I am deeply moved by your determination to stay for those who have not been saved. I also want to do something for you through my own efforts... Please lend me the strength to me in the future!
Being stared at those hot gazes, Rama's expression became more and more embarrassing, and his voice unconsciously hesitated a little.
I, I'm actually just determined to become a soldier. I may not be very skilled in shooting, and may not be as reliable as you imagine...
What's going on?
Theresa said softly, bent her lips.
Everyone has never been able to know. What is more important than the result is courage and determination. In my opinion, you are the most reliable candidate.
Before joining the alliance, I was just a vase placed in the palace. It was not until I met many people that I gradually realized that in addition to the designed part, the meaning of life can also have many more worth pursuing things... Compared to me who knew it later, you who dared to take the initiative to stand up and face the barbaric on the wasteland.
Rama's tense expression couldn't help but feel a little loose, and her deep eyes were unconsciously red.
Chu Guang glanced at Theresa slightly unexpectedly.
I haven't met for a while, and this guy has really grown a lot.
He had seen some politicians in her, but some places were not very mature.
Kaitao City will be a challenge for her.
There are not many people in this survivor settlement, but in the future, many survivors from the Great Desert will be accepted.Among them are wastelanders, blue jackets, and even old popsicles from two hundred years ago.
How to deal with the relationship between different groups, use limited resources to solve the needs of each group, and let people unite rather than internally smear in contradictions... The problems she needs to solve will be as high as a hill.
However, Chu Guang is quite confident in this guy.
Putting aside her resume, Debuff, who can pass the copy of Honey Badger City with her blood, can basically graduate from herself.
But whenever Chu Guang thought of this, he couldn't help but wonder.
Lu Bei, a fool, has been with him for so long and is so close. Logically speaking, he should have gained some knowledge, but he still looks the same.
Apart from admiring himself more than before, this young man had no change at all.
Chu Guang does not hate this loyal young man. Loyalty is a valuable quality, but it is a pity that he still has a long way to go before becoming a pillar of his own.
Originally, Chu Guang wanted to release him as the commander of the Third Corps of the Alliance, but now it seems that the Guards are more suitable for him.
Retracting his gaze from Teresa, Chu Guang looked at Rama.
I said that today I will explain your specific work.
The alliance intends to establish a new corps, which is mainly engaged in search and reconnaissance tasks, and is positioned as special operations. It will be stationed in the Great Desert area for a long time and take the city to explore as a stronghold.
You will be the leader of this corps.Your mission is not just to search for survivors in the ruins and to wipe out mutant tribes, but also to recruit reliable partners from rescued survivors, teach them how to use weapons, and encourage them to join your cause.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
As Teresa said, not being proficient is never a problem for me, people never come to know... I hope to wait until this time next year, I will see an excellent corps commander and a group of experienced soldiers.
Rama said with a solemn expression as he hit his right fist on his chest.
I will not let you down!
Chu Guang smiled, looked at the brave girl and nodded, then turned his eyes to the tents of the survivors in the distance.
Those people choose to stay with you.
Just don't let their expectations down.
……
Regarding the name of this newly established corps, Chu Guang originally planned to seek Rama's own opinion, but he himself looked confused and couldn't make up his mind.
In the end, the troublesome job of naming a name was thrown back to Chu Guang's hands.
He really had no good ideas and didn't want to waste time on the details. He simply opened a voting post on the forum to solicit the opinions of players.
What surprised Chu Guang was that the players were enthusiastic about the troublesome things he thought were troublesome and started to make suggestions for him.
But this name is diverse.
What the 11th Space Marine Corps and the Combat Sisters Cult have emerged... What do these guys regard the alliance as?
In the end, Chu Guang picked a slightly reliable and easy-to-remember name and simplified it with the names of other corpses of the alliance.
...How about the Thorn Corps?
Thorn Corps...
After repeatedly chanting the name in his mouth, Rama suddenly seemed to have obtained some inexplicable revelation or inspiration.
She pressed her right fist against her chest and said in a solemn voice.
Thanks to the manager for giving the name.
It seems that she is very satisfied with the name.
Chu Guang nodded and said happily.
Then that's the decision.
In this way, the Thorn Corps was officially established.
From the wilderness they will pick like-minded partners from the rescued survivors.
Of course, like other NPC corps, players who are interested in the Great Desert are also welcome to join.
……
Shortly after Chu Guang assigned the specific work of the Thorn Corps to Rama, Captain Adria finally woke up from a slumber.
Shaking his head with a split headache, Adria grabbed his personal guard and said with a swift spitting star.
...Where is Chu Guang?The administrator of the alliance... If you go and call him, just say I have something important to discuss with him!
Looking at the commander who had not yet sobered up, the guard said with laughter and cry.
Sir, the Alliance's airship is ready to close its anchor. I saw their manager next to the pod... If you sleep for a while, you will probably not be able to see him.
Upon hearing this, Adria suddenly shuddered and woke up instantly.
Retract the anchor?
The guard nodded.
Well... I heard they were planning to go back to the River Valley Province.
Take me there quickly!
Looking at Adria who turned over and got out of bed, the guard was stunned for two seconds and quickly responded.
yes!
Without having to wash up, Adria put on her coat and went out, trotting all the way, and finally found Chu Guang before Heart of Steel put away the anchor chain.
This guy drank a lot yesterday, and a strong smell of alcohol was emitting all over his body, which made Chu Guang frown and take a step back.
By the way, this guy is very nervous. He dared to get drunk in the enemy camp less than half a month after signing the ceasefire agreement.
He was busy explaining the work of the new settlement and the corps just now, and he almost forgot about this guy.
Thank you for your entertainment. After rubbing your swollen eyes, Adria barely cheered up. In order to make herself look less sloppy, she then cleared her throat hard. Next time I have the chance, I will treat you two drinks.
Looking at this guy's drunken look, Chu Guang teased.
You're welcome, as long as you don't feel embarrassed, you can stay here tonight.
After all, I still felt embarrassed. Adria coughed dryly with her old face and continued, "I have an offer."
Chu Guang: Let’s talk about it.
Adria said quickly.
Your camp is so big, and now there are a group of people leaving. So many barracks are empty, so why not lend us a few rooms?
Before, the soldiers of the alliance have been expanding the camp, and many of the barracks were left there without caring about them. Not to mention how complete the living facilities are, but at least there is water and electricity, it is definitely much more comfortable to live in than the broken tents they carry on the airship.
It is November now, and the northern hemisphere has begun to winter. Even if this year is a warm winter, it will snow in December at the latest.
Especially considering the specific heat capacity of sand, the temperature in the desert at night is as low as minus ten degrees Celsius. If you live in a linen tent, you may freeze to death...
Looking at Captain Adria with a embarrassed look, Chu Guang didn't make things difficult for him and asked casually.
How much do you want?
One hundred rooms...
Seeing Chu Guang's eyes gradually becoming weird, Adria quickly explained, of course, I won't borrow your house in vain... I will pay!How to pay with dinar?
Looking at Adria who was explaining in a hurry, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little funny.
If it were ordinary wastelanders or smaller survivors' settlements, these big-nosed people might have already taken it and snatched it, so where would they discuss paying it?
This bargaining look is really not like those officers who are soaring into the sky.
Pay?What's the use of me wanting dinar?
Looking at Captain Adria who was still trying to fight for it, Chu Guang suddenly felt a move in his heart and continued, "Let your governor talk to me, I can't explain it clearly to you."
Seeing that things were turning around, Adria, who had just fallen to the bottom of the valley, was immediately delighted and said immediately.
good!You wait for me!
You'd better hurry up, Chu Guang took a look at the time on the VM and said briefly, we are planning to set off at noon.
……
Without staying in the Alliance camp for too long, Captain Adria immediately returned to the camp next to the airship of the Decider and contacted Governor Cohen, who was awakened from a luxurious bedroom of 100 square meters through the correspondent of the boat, and reported on his difficulties with the officers.
To sum it up in a simple sentence, the ruling number has a large fault and it takes a lot of time to completely repair it.If nothing unexpected happens, more than a thousand people will have to spend the winter in the desert.
Although food and drink can be transported from the Falcon Kingdom, safety is a problem that cannot be solved.
Especially the Enlightenment Association is eyeing the dark, and no one can guarantee whether the mice in the gutter will come back.
After listening to Captain Adria's difficulties, Cohen had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Chu Guang for a communication request, expressing his hope to rent some of the barracks in the camp and provide them to the Willant people stranded in the desert.
However, after listening to Chu Guang's offer, Cohen couldn't help but squirt.
100 silver coins per room a day?!Are you crazy?
Looking at Cohen in the holographic image, Chu Guang said without blushing.
The entire Shuguang City is at this price. Of course, if you rent it per month, I can also give you a 10% discount.
This is certainly not the price of Dawn City.
Take the Highway Town Hotel in Shuguang City as an example. The cheapest room costs less than 10 silver coins a day.
However, this did not prevent him from taking the false price and hitting the Willant people with a slap.
Chu Guang knew very well that even if he doubled his offer, it would be more cost-effective than building a camp in the desert themselves.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the problem of fresh water supply, the current situation of the Willant people is almost unsolvable.
If you want to drill wells in the desert to get water, you have to drill at least a 100-meter-deep well. With the current industrial capabilities of the Falcon Kingdom, there is no way to do so unless they transport the drilling equipment from the west of the desert.
Cohen said with a headache after pinching his sore eyebrows.
...Where do I go to get your broken coins... Can't the silver mine bank do it?
That was unnecessary. Chu Guang waved his hand. Although we were using silver coins, it was not the silver standard. Can you understand?
Cohen stared at Chu Guang fiercely and said word by word.
What exactly do you want?At worst, we can't
Chu Guang coughed lightly and interrupted him.
Bister Town needs fresh water, I plan to rent a water supply section from the river embankment nearest there from Oasis No. 2, and then build a water transportation pipeline to Bister Town to solve the problems of local residents' domestic water and industrial water use... The term is ten years, how about one million silver coins?
After a pause, he added a sentence later.
Of course, we can actually dial water from Oasis No. 3, but compared to Oasis No. 2, which is right next to it, the 170-kilometer pipeline is too expensive.Ten years later, we pay you based on the amount of water used. What do you think?
This is the plan he designed with reference to the Petra Fortress.
According to several players of the White Bear Knights, the freshwater resources there are purchased from the nearest river bank and paid according to the water consumption.
However, Cohen didn't understand the market after a new arrival, and he might not know the production capacity of a water supply section. Chu Guang did not talk to him about the amount of water used and rented it according to the time.
In fact, the maximum production capacity of a water supply section can supply one million cubic meters of fresh water a year, which is equivalent to half of the water volume of Poyang Lake.
Ten years have been enough for him to build an underground lake out of thin air in the desert.
As for the remaining energy of the river bank?
That kind of thing knows.
The fresh water produced by the river bank is like the oil buried in the soles of several big dogs over there. It is still very rare to pump every day. Anyway, it will be done when it can be used.
After all, it is also a seawater desalination device that supplies energy to nuclear fusion. In short, it will be endless in just ten years.
As Chu Guang expected, Cohen's focus was not on how much fresh water can be produced in a water supply section.
After staring at Chu Guang for a long time, a most insignificant question suddenly popped out of his mouth.
Do I have to pay for the water pipe repair?
Chu Guang coughed.
That's not to use it.
Just use other people’s faucets at home, but you also have to ask others to help you repair the water pipes. He can’t do such unethical things.
Cohen didn't speak for a long time, but he was thinking in his heart.
ten years……
As soon as the agreement was signed, the supply of fresh water from Bister Town was in his hands. If the league wanted to attack him one day, he just needed to twist the water dragon, and the league would definitely have to surrender.
As for renting a water supply section of one million silver coins, he doesn't care much about whether the price is expensive or cheap.
There are at least eight water supply sections for a river embankment. Even if you rent one to the alliance, it will not be in the way, let alone the assets of the vassal state.
Cohen nodded with a reluctant expression on his face.
make a deal!But I have to declare first that the price of renting camps and other expenses must also be written in this contract!
There is currently no stable trade relationship between the two sides, and he does not want him to add zero to the camp rent as soon as he agreed.
Not to mention one million silver coins, even ten million or even one hundred million can’t be resisted.
Chu Guang nodded with a smile.
No problem, but... I have to remind you before signing the contract.
Cohen narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
What to remind you?
The Willant people in our camp must comply with our laws and regulations, including robbery, theft, and…
Seeing that the big nose's face was not good-looking, Chu Guang gave him a little face and said in a very light voice that all behaviors that are not allowed by civilized society are considered a crime in the land of the alliance.If something unpleasant happens, we will not open the net because of your nose, and we will punish criminals according to the laws of the alliance.
So if you don't want diplomatic disputes or even more serious consequences, you'd better spend some time restraining your subordinates.
Cohen stared at Chu Guang with a dark face.
You don’t need to say this, I will do it naturally!
Chu Guang nodded and said with a smile.
That would be better.
On the last night of the Great Desert, if Chu Guang had not set up a limited-time unboxing event on the official website in a hurry, those noisy little players would have been happy in the game until dawn.
These guys really want to live in the game world...
The next day, Chu Guang got up a morning bed.
While yawning, he lifted the curtain and just stepped out of the tent, he saw Rama wearing a ten-style exoskeleton standing at the door.
This exoskeleton was seized from the Enlightenment Society. The model belongs to the standard equipment of the People's Federation Army. Compared with the police-style five-type light cavalry, it emphasizes the defense of rifle bullets and explosion fragments.
After the alliance repaired it, it painted a layer of cement ash and pasted it with the enemy identification logo, which was considered the alliance's equipment.
In order to become familiar with the usage of exoskeletons as soon as possible, she has almost worn it on her body when she sleeps.
Seeing Chu Guang walk out of the camp, Lu Bei, who was guarding the door, immediately stepped forward and saluted him and reported.
Sir, she stood here at dawn.
Chu Guang nodded, looked at Rama standing at the door, and said in a gentle tone.
Is there anything wrong?
As Lu Bei looked like he put his right fist on his chest, Rama lowered his head and said respectfully.
You told me last night that I will arrange my future work this morning.
It seems that this is indeed true.
Chu Guang originally planned to ask Captain Adria what was wrong with him last night, but thinking that the big nose had probably not got up yet, he looked at Rama and said.
Since you have put on this armor, I must have realized it in my heart, so I won’t talk much nonsense.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
Come with me, I will introduce you to me.
who?
Your future partner.
partner?
Rama was stunned for a moment, but saw Chu Guang passing by her and walking towards the other side of the camp, so he followed closely.
The group came to a camp.
It happened that the curtain of the tent was lifted up, and a fair and beautiful face came into Rama's eyes.
It was a dignified woman with long light blonde hair and a high ponytail with a simple hairband.
When he first reacted when he saw her, Rama had a thought in his mind that the man and himself were completely different from him.

After saying hello briefly, Chu Guang looked at Rama beside him and introduced, "This is the girl I mentioned to you on the phone."
Hearing this, Teresa's eyes lit up and she looked at the lady wearing an exoskeleton.
You are Ms. Rama?
Rama responded embarrassingly.

Theresa said happily, curling her lips.

Like several other survivor settlements, the first lord of Kaituo City was still appointed by the alliance.
Chu Guang needs a candidate who has sufficient management experience and practical experience, has done specific survivor rescue work, and can understand the alliance's creed.
As for identity.
This has never been a problem in the league.
His chief of staff was the surrendered Willant officer. The lord of Dawn City was once just a serf, and the lord of Dawn City was once a refugee who was deserted and disaster.
As for Rama, he has no management experience, and he himself prefers to be a warrior rather than sitting in the office to process documents.
Holding Rama's hands, Teresa stared at the girl's simple eyes intently and said in a serious tone.
I have heard your story. I am deeply moved by your determination to stay for those who have not been saved. I also want to do something for you through my own efforts... Please lend me the strength to me in the future!
Being stared at those hot gazes, Rama's expression became more and more embarrassing, and his voice unconsciously hesitated a little.
I, I'm actually just determined to become a soldier. I may not be very skilled in shooting, and may not be as reliable as you imagine...
What's going on?
Theresa said softly, bent her lips.
Everyone has never been able to know. What is more important than the result is courage and determination. In my opinion, you are the most reliable candidate.
Before joining the alliance, I was just a vase placed in the palace. It was not until I met many people that I gradually realized that in addition to the designed part, the meaning of life can also have many more worth pursuing things... Compared to me who knew it later, you who dared to take the initiative to stand up and face the barbaric on the wasteland.

After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
As Teresa said, not being proficient is never a problem for me, people never come to know... I hope to wait until this time next year, I will see an excellent corps commander and a group of experienced soldiers.
Rama said with a solemn expression as he hit his right fist on his chest.

Then that's the decision.
In this way, the Thorn Corps was officially established.
From the wilderness they will pick like-minded partners from the rescued survivors.
Of course, like other NPC corps, players who are interested in the Great Desert are also welcome to join.
……
Shortly after Chu Guang assigned the specific work of the Thorn Corps to Rama, Captain Adria finally woke up from a slumber.
Shaking his head with a split headache, Adria grabbed his personal guard and said with a swift spitting star.
...Where is Chu Guang?The administrator of the alliance... If you go and call him, just say I have something important to discuss with him!
Looking at the commander who had not yet sobered up, the guard said with laughter and cry.
Sir, the Alliance's airship is ready to close its anchor. I saw their manager next to the pod... If you sleep for a while, you will probably not be able to see him.
Upon hearing this, Adria suddenly shuddered and woke up instantly.
Retract the anchor?
The guard nodded.
Well... I heard they were planning to go back to the River Valley Province.
Take me there quickly!
Looking at Adria who turned over and got out of bed, the guard was stunned for two seconds and quickly responded.
yes!
Without having to wash up, Adria put on her coat and went out, trotting all the way, and finally found Chu Guang before Heart of Steel put away the anchor chain.

One hundred rooms...
Seeing Chu Guang's eyes gradually becoming weird, Adria quickly explained, of course, I won't borrow your house in vain... I will pay!How to pay with dinar?
Looking at Adria who was explaining in a hurry, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little funny.

This bargaining look is really not like those officers who are soaring into the sky.
Pay?What's the use of me wanting dinar?
Looking at Captain Adria who was still trying to fight for it, Chu Guang suddenly felt a move in his heart and continued, "Let your governor talk to me, I can't explain it clearly to you."
Seeing that things were turning around, Adria, who had just fallen to the bottom of the valley, was immediately delighted and said immediately.
good!You wait for me!
You'd better hurry up, Chu Guang took a look at the time on the VM and said briefly, we are planning to set off at noon.
……
Without staying in the Alliance camp for too long, Captain Adria immediately returned to the camp next to the airship of the Decider and contacted Governor Cohen, who was awakened from a luxurious bedroom of 100 square meters through the correspondent of the boat, and reported on his difficulties with the officers.
To sum it up in a simple sentence, the ruling number has a large fault and it takes a lot of time to completely repair it.If nothing unexpected happens, more than a thousand people will have to spend the winter in the desert.
Although food and drink can be transported from the Falcon Kingdom, safety is a problem that cannot be solved.
Especially the Enlightenment Association is eyeing the dark, and no one can guarantee whether the mice in the gutter will come back.
After listening to Captain Adria's difficulties, Cohen had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Chu Guang for a communication request, expressing his hope to rent some of the barracks in the camp and provide them to the Willant people stranded in the desert.
However, after listening to Chu Guang's offer, Cohen couldn't help but squirt.
100 silver coins per room a day?!Are you crazy?
Looking at Cohen in the holographic image, Chu Guang said without blushing.
The entire Shuguang City is at this price. Of course, if you rent it per month, I can also give you a 10% discount.
This is certainly not the price of Dawn City.
Take the Highway Town Hotel in Shuguang City as an example. The cheapest room costs less than 10 silver coins a day.
However, this did not prevent him from taking the false price and hitting the Willant people with a slap.
Chu Guang knew very well that even if he doubled his offer, it would be more cost-effective than building a camp in the desert themselves.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the problem of fresh water supply, the current situation of the Willant people is almost unsolvable.
If you want to drill wells in the desert to get water, you have to drill at least a 100-meter-deep well. With the current industrial capabilities of the Falcon Kingdom, there is no way to do so unless they transport the drilling equipment from the west of the desert.
Cohen said with a headache after pinching his sore eyebrows.
...Where do I go to get your broken coins... Can't the silver mine bank do it?
That was unnecessary. Chu Guang waved his hand. Although we were using silver coins, it was not the silver standard. Can you understand?
Cohen stared at Chu Guang fiercely and said word by word.
What exactly do you want?At worst, we can't
Chu Guang coughed lightly and interrupted him.
Bister Town needs fresh water, I plan to rent a water supply section from the river embankment nearest there from Oasis No. 2, and then build a water transportation pipeline to Bister Town to solve the problems of local residents' domestic water and industrial water use... The term is ten years, how about one million silver coins?
After a pause, he added a sentence later.
Of course, we can actually dial water from Oasis No. 3, but compared to Oasis No. 2, which is right next to it, the 170-kilometer pipeline is too expensive.Ten years later, we pay you based on the amount of water used. What do you think?
This is the plan he designed with reference to the Petra Fortress.
According to several players of the White Bear Knights, the freshwater resources there are purchased from the nearest river bank and paid according to the water consumption.
However, Cohen didn't understand the market after a new arrival, and he might not know the production capacity of a water supply section. Chu Guang did not talk to him about the amount of water used and rented it according to the time.
In fact, the maximum production capacity of a water supply section can supply one million cubic meters of fresh water a year, which is equivalent to half of the water volume of Poyang Lake.
Ten years have been enough for him to build an underground lake out of thin air in the desert.
As for the remaining energy of the river bank?
That kind of thing knows.
The fresh water produced by the river bank is like the oil buried in the soles of several big dogs over there. It is still very rare to pump every day. Anyway, it will be done when it can be used.
After all, it is also a seawater desalination device that supplies energy to nuclear fusion. In short, it will be endless in just ten years.
As Chu Guang expected, Cohen's focus was not on how much fresh water can be produced in a water supply section.
After staring at Chu Guang for a long time, a most insignificant question suddenly popped out of his mouth.
Do I have to pay for the water pipe repair?
Chu Guang coughed.
That's not to use it.
Just use other people’s faucets at home, but you also have to ask others to help you repair the water pipes. He can’t do such unethical things.
Cohen didn't speak for a long time, but he was thinking in his heart.
ten years……
As soon as the agreement was signed, the supply of fresh water from Bister Town was in his hands. If the league wanted to attack him one day, he just needed to twist the water dragon, and the league would definitely have to surrender.
As for renting a water supply section of one million silver coins, he doesn't care much about whether the price is expensive or cheap.
There are at least eight water supply sections for a river embankment. Even if you rent one to the alliance, it will not be in the way, let alone the assets of the vassal state.
Cohen nodded with a reluctant expression on his face.
make a deal!But I have to declare first that the price of renting camps and other expenses must also be written in this contract!
There is currently no stable trade relationship between the two sides, and he does not want him to add zero to the camp rent as soon as he agreed.
Not to mention one million silver coins, even ten million or even one hundred million can’t be resisted.
Chu Guang nodded with a smile.
No problem, but... I have to remind you before signing the contract.
Cohen narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
What to remind you?
The Willant people in our camp must comply with our laws and regulations, including robbery, theft, and…
Seeing that the big nose's face was not good-looking, Chu Guang gave him a little face and said in a very light voice that all behaviors that are not allowed by civilized society are considered a crime in the land of the alliance.If something unpleasant happens, we will not open the net because of your nose, and we will punish criminals according to the laws of the alliance.
So if you don't want diplomatic disputes or even more serious consequences, you'd better spend some time restraining your subordinates.
Cohen stared at Chu Guang with a dark face.
You don’t need to say this, I will do it naturally!
Chu Guang nodded and said with a smile.
That would be better.
