It's seven o'clock in the evening.

The night is dark.

Next to the towering steel fortress, a heavy truck stopped steadily.

Compared with the driver who jumped out of the car, the size of the car can be described by the word "magnificent".

However, if it is placed with the steel platform and track beside it, the majestic figure will appear a little small.

From a distance, it looks like a small insect crawling beside her shoes.

The driver who got out of the car used a flat panel to operate the automated loading and unloading platform and unloaded cubes of metal from the truck.

These metal blocks are made of recycled garbage, and their specifications are cubes with length, width and height, with density ranging from 6 to 7g/cm3.

There are car doors, hoods, and various metal parts inside, all of which are firmly pressed together, making it difficult to tell what they were before.

It has to be said that the residents of those shelters are really capable. They are not only physically strong, but also have a high enthusiasm for work, and almost scraped off all the recyclable things.

The only point of complaint is that things that cannot be recycled seem to be stuffed into them...

But it's harmless.

These metal blocks will be sent to a specialized processing workshop later, running from one module to another, going through a series of automated production processes, and eventually becoming what they need.

Waste that cannot be used will be automatically removed from the production line during the production process.

The engineer wearing a thick protective suit and a hard hat unfolded the flexible screen of the tablet while walking towards Li De who was standing next to the temporary warehouse.

Today's collection volume is 112 tons of scrap steel. I will send them to the production line later and I will start replacing the track tomorrow.

Li De: How much steel do we need in total?I mean, that kind of garbage.

Engineer: At least 3,000 tons... Maybe it may be 5,000 tons.

Li De frowned.

Why is the error so big?

The engineer said helplessly.

There is no way, the steel quality of those civilian vehicles is too poor. It is estimated that it is to save costs and weight. It is filled with a large amount of carbon-based copolymers that cannot be recycled. In addition, the oxidized part is basically a ton of scrap steel that can be recycled 400 kilograms.

I have to say that we need not only steel, but also rare metals... I don't expect to get titanium or uranium in this ghost place, but tungsten is the bottom line.Otherwise, we will push west at most 500 kilometers and we will have to break down again.

Tracks and wheel hubs are the hardest hit areas of loss.

Mechanical structures such as bearings and transmission wheels are not as serious as track losses, regular replacement is necessary.

In fact, in theory, in the underground garage that has not been soaked in water, the recycling value of abandoned vehicles is relatively high, and the recycling rate can reach almost 40% or even 50%.

If it is a scrap car exposed to wilderness or unmanned roads, the recycling rate may be 30% bad.

After all, rainwater is weakly acidic under natural conditions. No matter how acidic the carbonic acid is, for two consecutive centuries of pickling, no matter how advanced the material technology is, it will be lost.

Moreover, pickling is more fatal than oxidation. Oxidation is just rust. The frame may collapse, but the metal elements are still there and will not run away.

If it is pickling, the ionized cations will be brought into the soil by rainwater, and it will be really impossible to find them.

Li De's brows frowned even more, and he carefully planned what the engineer said to him.

500 kilometers of anchor again...

According to the route they planned on the map, it may not be possible to leave the river valley province for 500 kilometers.

If you break down in the wilderness, you will be the end of it.

I understand the situation and I will ask the people from the Land Warfare Department to send a search team to focus on searching for rare metal materials in this area.

The engineer shook his head and said.

It is difficult to find this area, so I suggest searching near the fifth ring road of Qingquan City.The most basic common sense is that the more dense the civilized activities, the higher the macro utilization rate of rare metals.Especially those magnetic levitation vehicles, whether they are magnetic generation devices on the vehicle, tall buildings along the way and magnetic levitation roadbed buried under the road, contain what we need... These cannot be found in suburbs without a three-dimensional highway network.

Also, the work of finding a controllable fusion fuel rod must be launched soon. The fuel rod we are currently using only 8% of the fusion fuel left. Even if our tracks do not break down, we may have to find a place to stop and solve this problem.

Li De: How long is the remaining energy sufficient?

Engineer: It's enough for us to use it for a long time, but you know, we can't stay here all the time.

If it's just that little production consumption, this 8% energy is enough for them to use until next year.

But as his engineers said, they couldn't stay here all the time.

The most energy-consuming place of this land fortress is not the production workshops on it, but its four-seater engine.

Pushing a fortress of tens of thousands of tons to advance smoothly on land. If converted into a diesel engine, it would probably take several tons of oil if one kilometer is missing, which is equivalent to 1 to 2 armored divisions marching on off-road terrain.

Li De: The contact point for shelter No. 404 has just been built, and their people are helping us find a guide. We should be able to set out within two days at the earliest, so there should be no big problem.

The engineer sighed.

I hope, in fact, compared to the collection work, recycling the nuclear fuel rod is not that urgent, as long as it can be found before departure.Speaking of this, I have to praise the blue jackets, their high work efficiency was beyond my expectations.What benefits did you promise them?I see that their enthusiasm for work is like a drug.

When he said the second half, the engineer looked at his boss with an incredible expression on his face.

Li De's face also had complicated expressions, and he seemed to not know how to answer this question.

To be honest, when he saw the results of today's resource collection, he was also very surprised.

According to their past experience, it is good to hire local survivors to help pick up garbage. It is already good to collect 300 kilograms of garbage every day. After all, cutting, handling and compacting takes time. The natives are stupid and are slow to do all kinds of work, which makes people's blood pressure soar.

However, these blue jackets actually took only one afternoon to collect more than 500 kilograms!It achieved 200% of what they expected!

If they were given a whole day, wouldn’t the per capita scavenger production capacity be more than one ton?

This work enthusiasm is simply no one else!

Although it has nothing to do with him, Li De couldn't help but wonder how much salary their managers paid them to make them motivated like this.

Where are they?

Already back and now cooking in the camp.

Li De nodded.

It’s good that Ping An is back.

At this time, a staff member from the logistics department suddenly walked from the side.

Section Chief, you have your phone number.

The communication is forwarded to me.

Take out the toothpick box-sized earphones from your pocket and hung them next to your ears. Li De stretched out his index finger and tapped on the white earphones.

The dark green beam projected forward, and soon a three-dimensional holographic image was woven directly in front of him, showing the outline of the other person's facial features and bust.

Your holographic communication system is good, how much does it cost?

Looking at Chu Guang who was curious about the large number of people on the left and right, Li De coughed gently.

...We haven't considered selling this for the time being.

All right.

Chu Guang in the holographic image nodded, as if expressing understanding, Li De hoped that he really understood.

Li De continued to squeeze a smile out of his face.

Is there anything wrong?

Chu Guang did not answer this question directly, but looked at him and smiled, saying in a relaxed tone.

There is nothing special, I just want to ask, how efficient do you think of the work efficiency of our workers?

Very... quite good.Li De originally wanted to say it was very good, but suddenly he realized that the old fox in front of him was a good at disguise, so he immediately changed his mind temporarily.

Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have captured the change in his expression on his face, and a not-so-obvious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li De suddenly felt a little regretful.

Or you shouldn't have used this set of holographic image communication equipment.

The original intention of this thing is to make communication more convenient.

But now it seems that there is only one person who is convenient.

I'm glad to get such a high rating from you!

Well, it's not as high as you think, but it's not bad.I have to admit that your workers are very dedicated, which is very valuable.

Then let’s talk about the cost issue!

Hearing this sentence, Li De's expression changed instantly.Although it is far from turning aside, it is still somewhat unfavorable.

My friend, haven’t the salary matter been negotiated?Temporary price increases are not a sign of keeping your promise.

Please don’t be nervous. My friend, Chu Guang smiled in a gentle atmosphere, signaled him to relax and continued, "What I want to talk about is not the salary issue, but about... well, value-added services."

Value-added service?Li De was stunned for a moment, and his tense expression subconsciously relaxed a little.

This was the first time he heard such a strange word.

Chu Guang continued with a smile: Yes, when you want to improve the efficiency of workers, you have to stuff money into their pockets and bribe them to work harder instead of paying them a dead salary... or to put it more euphemistically, you have to give them a commission so that they can feel the joy of growth from the production process.Want to know how I did it?

Li De wanted to say that he didn't want to know, but he always felt that no matter what he said, this guy would find an excuse to follow the topic, so he simply stopped talking.

Sure enough, the manager of the blue jacket in front of him did not disappoint him.This guy didn't even give him time to answer the conversation, and continued to talk to himself without pause for a second.

In addition to the specified hourly wages, I will give them a sum of money for every kilogram of scrap steel they collect, so they will work hard.The numbers you see now on the production list are not because of how courage and strength they have and what you say about dedication, but because I spent money.

Li De didn't want to listen anymore.

It actually means one thing to go around.

He said with a straight face.

How much do you want?

Chu Guang said with a smile.

Not much, because of our close relationship, every ton...well, how about 5CR?For you, it’s just a few extra buckets of instant noodles.

Although he wouldn't use the money to buy instant noodles.

After hearing Chu Guang's request, Li De did not make a statement immediately, but silently settled the calculation in his heart.

If the daily capacity is 200 tons, it means they will spend an additional 1,000 CR.

How to say it?

This number just stuck in a very ambiguous range.

If you don't pay this money, the other party probably won't use extra money to subsidize your own labor and stimulate them to improve production.

Even if those blue jackets don’t work hard, it will be difficult for them to work as hard as they are today.

Is it spending an extra budget of nearly 1,000 CR every day to purchase the so-called value-added services?

Or maintain the current fixed expenses and reduce production capacity to normal levels?

Chu Guang did not urge him and waited patiently for the head of the logistics department to think.

His brows were loose and frowned, and he seemed to have made a judgment in his heart. Li De said with a stern face and stared at his holographic image.

What about today’s value-added services?Do I have to pay you an extra amount of money?

Hearing this sentence, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

He has worked in sales and understands this very much.

When the customer keeps asking for prices or picking questions, it means he is hesitating, maybe he will buy, maybe not, the probability will be 50% higher.

When the customer put aside the transaction itself and asked about those irrelevant gifts, the transaction was basically stable.

Next, you just need to make the customer feel that he has taken advantage of it.

That's not to mention that today's 6 hours are the trial period for value-added services, and there is no charge.

Li De smiled.

You taught me a lesson... Are you interested in working in a company? I can write you an introduction letter and recommend you to enter the management level.To be honest, it’s really a pity for you to stay in this ghost place.

Chu Guang said modestly: I dare not, I just want my residents to survive in this tragic world, so I live a more careful life.

I felt a little more comfortable.

Li De sighed lightly, looked at the sky, and slowly pointed his raised head.

make a deal.

……

The budget of an additional expenditure of about 1,000 CR per day is not unacceptable.

After all, no matter what, the labor cost here is much cheaper than the mechanical cost, and the efficiency of the latter may not be higher than the former in complex environments.

1000CR is only 500 kilograms of grain, or a ton of monosaccharides or polysaccharides that can be synthesized by consuming some air.

If they need gunpowder rifles, it would be even better to treat them with scraps left from the processing parts. The cost may be cheaper than crops that require time to cultivate.

At this time, several soldiers, drivers and engineers from the Land Warfare Division were coming back from the shelter camp with their shoulders and backs, talking and laughing.

That mutton horn mash is simply delicious!

How did they come up with it?You can actually cook food with steam!And it's so delicious!

Judging from the information, it seems like this was what people ate 300 years ago.

300 years ago?!That's really long enough.

Yes, it's even longer than the prosperity era... But I doubt that if you only steam, can you really kill the microorganisms in the food?

Look at your inexplicable appearance, the temperature of the steam is much higher than that of boiling water!

The reason is this... Well, the only problem that can be picked is that it consumes more fuel. First boil the water and then heat the food with water steam. It is quite enjoyable for these blue jackets.

Strange knowledge has increased again.

Today's work is over. If there are no emergencies, the rest of the time will belong to them.

The most comfortable enjoyment in life is to get off work on time after a busy day, take a comfortable hot shower, then go to the cafeteria to pick up a cup of synthetic milk or hot cocoa, go to the activity room to play two games of billiards or poker with colleagues, and chat with them by the way.

By the way, I have to share the joy of tasting delicious food with everyone!

You only need a bucket of instant noodles to buy a bowl of fragrant mashed potatoes, which is simply too affordable!

And there is also pine nut fish soup tonight!It seems to be called this name.

I don’t know what ingredients the blue jackets put in the soup, but the mutant catfish that were so fishy that they smelled less smelly. When I bite it, I felt full of collagen, and the taste and taste were amazing!

The food they usually eat is light, with less salt and less oil. Although it is completely nutritious, the taste is always a bit bad.

The canteen of those blue jackets is good everywhere. The only drawback is that you need to bring your own bowls and chopsticks, and there are no disposable bowls.

But this is nothing to them.

The few people first found the engineering brothers in the logistics department to discuss it. They quickly convinced the guy with a bowl of mashed potatoes, asked him to take a flatbed to operate the processing workshop, and gave them a few thin steel bowls like paper, as well as spoons for drinking soup.

These steel bowls are not pure steel, but polymer composite steel. The material is mainly to cut the remaining scraps of steel, and add some cheap synthetic resins, which is very cheap.

They all use disposable dishes and chopsticks, and throw them away after using them, saving even the effort of washing dishes.

...We were busy outside, but the lucky dogs were sitting in the office and blowing hot air. It was so annoying!

Just, if you don’t show off to them, I’m sorry for the Northwest Wind we drank today!

Agree, you must show off!

Hahaha, these dogs are so greedy!

A group of young men reached a consensus and stood on the elevator with a smile. It felt like they had discovered an oasis in the desert.

Li De, who was standing in the distance to count supplies, was confused, as if he understood what they were saying, but he didn't seem to understand.

……?
