Three power armors remained at the north gate.
As for their captain Lu Yang, he followed Chu Guang into the outpost.
It can be seen that he is very confident in his strength and is not worried about any accidents he will encounter.
Of course, Chu Guang had no intention of causing trouble for himself.
When Lu Yang was invited to the reception room of the sanatorium, Chu Guang wanted to bring something to entertain him, but when he took out the wine glass, Lu Yang quickly waved his hand to stop him.
I appreciate your kindness!But I am still on a mission and can’t drink.
What about milk?
It really doesn't need to be. Our armor has fresh water and liquid food reserves. During the mission, we can only eat our own things. This is discipline.
That stool
No need, it will fall.
All right.
Unexpectedly, I could still encounter disciplined troops in the wasteland.
Of course, it may be out of caution.
Chu Guang stopped insisting and put away the things.
Speaking of which, I am a little curious about what your SC-500 track transportation platform looks like, and what does it mean to put it together... Can it satisfy my curiosity?
Lu Yang nodded.
Of course no problem.
As he said that, he reached out and lit the helmet, and the button-sized integrated light at the collar cast a beam of light on the burning brazier.
Looking closely, the light consists of many beams of light as thin as cilia. Soon the cilia swing gently, and a transparent three-dimensional holographic image was intertwined above the flame.
Holographic projection?
Yes, Lu Yang nodded with pride on his face, this is our Trail Blazer!Isn't it very grand?
Four tracks nearly twenty meters long carry square platforms with a length and width of 50 meters.
There are rectangular modules stacked on the platform, which are spliced and stacked like containers, and from a distance they look like uneven Rubik's cubes or three-dimensional mosaics.
There are four platforms in total, distributed in four corners in matrix, connected by pipelines in the middle, which seems to be able to be separated.
It's not just a cruiser driving on land.
It's better to say it is a four-legged fortress!
It's really grand enough... are there any photos?I mean, that kind of photography is not a skeleton-like holographic image.
Lu Yang was stunned for a moment and nodded.
photo?There is, there is...If you need it, I can send it to your VM.
Please send me one!
Although he was confused about the use of Chu Guang's photo, Lu Yang still picked a less sensitive photo and sent it to him.
Hiding the joy on his face, Chu Guang coughed gently, looking at Lu Yang with a serious expression and continued.
Thanks, I've helped a lot.In addition, I have a rough understanding of your demands. Simply put,... you need a hundred workers to engage in resource collection and material handling, right?
Lu Yang nodded seriously.
That's right, it would be better if there were more people!We need a lot of manpower to collect vehicle wreckage and other metal waste, drag them to our production workshop for re-furnace, re-smelting, and producing them into the steel and other alloy materials we need.
As for technical issues, you don’t have to worry about them, our engineers will be responsible for solving them!Your people just need to do some simple jobs.
And as a reward, we are willing to provide food and accommodation for every worker and pay them a 1CR hourly salary, which is settled on a daily basis.
Chu Guang asked.
What is 10CR?
...I almost forgot, this is it!Lu Yang slapped his head and pulled out a banknote with a face value of 100CR from his waist, showed it to Chu Guang, and explained with a smile that the bonds issued by the company are also used as currency, and the full name is credit point, referred to as CR!You can use it at any survivor stronghold on the East Coast to buy whatever you want… as long as they have it.
Plus, all caravans from the East Coast recognize its value, and you can trade this bill for everything in their hands.A piece of paper money like this is enough for a corporate employee to spend a week, and it is enough to save some money for two weeks!
Chu Guang quipped with a smile.
So the hourly wage of 1CR is the minimum wage for the enterprise?
We don’t have the minimum wage, but the basic manual labor is the same price. A 1CR hourly wage of 12 hours a day is 12CR. Isn’t that enough?We will provide food and accommodation for your workers!
This is a river valley province, not an east coast.Well, do you have any bargaining chips?
Lu Yang looked confused.
...Bargo chips?
Yes, Qingquan City mainly uses this kind of plastic sheet as currency this generation. All merchants here know it, and I think you are a little clearer.As he said that, Chu Guang took out a white chip from his pocket and shook it gently in front of Lu Yang.
The anti-counterfeiting paint printed on the chips still has no trace of fading even after two centuries, as if it is integrated with the material itself.
Lu Yang's face looked a little embarrassed.
It’s a pity that we are not businessmen… To be honest, we are going to the west to perform very important tasks, which is related to the fate of everyone on this planet.Can we make it easier for us to make peace for the future of civilization?As far as I know, the River Valley Province is also within the business scope of the company. I guarantee you with my reputation score that these banknotes can be used!
For the future of civilization, this was chewed a century ago.It is now 211 years old, nothing has changed.
After putting away the chips in his hand, Chu Guang continued to look at Lu Yang.
You should have something to trade, right?Do you live on air all the way?Whether it is food, weapons, production tools and methods, we need it very much.It doesn't make any sense to give me such piece of paper. God knows when your East Coast caravan will pass by us.And what's the use of it? Even if 100CR can buy a set of power armor on the East Coast, you may not be able to buy a cow here!
Even in a civilized society where logistics is convenient, the purchasing power of different currencies in different regions is different, let alone wasteland.
A caravan arrived here across a real distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, just to exchange the goods in his hand for a pile of paper that could not be spent in the local area?
They do business, not express delivery.
You have to ship something back!
Lu Yang coughed lightly and said: ...No matter where it is, 100CR cannot buy a power armor, even if it is scrapped.But I probably understand what you mean. Are you needing food, weapons and production tools?
Very correct!Chu Guang looked at him with bright eyes and continued, if you want to hire me, you have to give them silver coins and copper coins.If you want silver coins, you can exchange them for what we need!
Lu Yang nodded.
I understand, this is a reasonable demand.But I am not good at this. I will ask the logistics department to come and talk to you about transactions, and he will arrive here tomorrow morning.In addition, if it is convenient, I hope to set up an office here to facilitate our timely communication.The scale of this office will not be very large, and the staffing should be only two people. How about it?
Chu Guang nodded happily.
This is exactly what I expected!
Lu Yang finally stretched out a smile on his face.
Communicating with civilized people is always much more refreshing than communicating with indigenous people.Although the transaction is a bit troublesome, it is enough to throw it to the logistics department for a headache.
The Trailblazers are not short of food and fresh water, and they can also produce daily necessities themselves, but only minerals and electricity are lacking.With the laborers working, the mine problem has been solved, and there is still one last problem left.
...Then the next thing is the guide.
Chu Guang looked at him and said: No problem, my people know this area very well, the key is what you are looking for.
Lu Yang: A fuel rod with controllable fusion!Of course, what I am talking about is not the kind of fusion battery for power armor, tanks or small workshops, but the fuel rod with Helium reserves exceeding 5 kg and output power between 100MW and 1GW, which can make the Trail Blazer move!The model of this fuel rod is a bit special, but we can recognize it.
Chu Guang: Then do you know where to go to find this thing?
Lu Yang nodded confidently.
Of course, according to our analysis of pre-war map data, there is a carbon dioxide collection station located near the Fifth Ring Road in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.This kind of public facilities is very common in densely populated cities. The main function is to use electricity during the low peak period to absorb carbon dioxide accumulated in urban agglomerations, that is, maintain the so-called carbon balance.
The fuel rod models of spare generators in carbon dioxide collection stations are similar to ours, but what is more troublesome is that they are usually not marked separately on civil maps, but are merged with some high-rise buildings such as office buildings and apartments, usually located between the 20th and 30th floors. We can only speculate on their rough location based on limited information.
Hearing this, Chu Guang couldn't help but interrupt him.
Are you sure there hasn't been searched?
We weren't sure, so we needed a local guide to cooperate with our Marines to find those that have not been plundered.
After a pause, Lu Yang proposed the conditions for the exchange.
If you are lucky enough to find it, we only need the controllable fusion fuel rods there, and as for other by-products, such as long-chain alkanes, olefins, or ketones and fats, you can take them away as you like.Whether you use them as firewood or make them into something else.
It shouldn't be burned.
Chu Guang felt that he should not do such a waste of resources.
This high-quality industrial raw material can be sold even if it is not used for the time being.Survivor strongholds like Borussia City with industrial capabilities should be happy to buy them.
Chu Guang remembers that Old Luca once said that every year there are caravans from Boulder City coming to Brown Farm to buy oil and resin produced by Cam trees.
Looking at Lu Yang, Chu Guang nodded.
no problem.
I’m glad we reached a consensus, that’s all. Luca showed a happy smile on her face and stretched out her right hand. I wish us a happy cooperation!
He held his right hand and shook it, and Chu Guang's face also had a smile.
Happy cooperation!
……
Looking at the captain coming out of the wall, the Marines standing at the north gate were nervous and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The curious vision around them made them feel uncomfortable.
Haven't these country bumpkins seen power armor before?
Fortunately, these people were quite restrained and didn't come up to touch each other.
It's getting late, so let's go back first!After walking to his teammates, he stopped. Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and said with a smile, "Our people will come tomorrow!"
Chu Guang nodded.
Then I won't give it to you.
Lu Yang took his subordinates to leave.
However, at this moment, the voice of teammates came from the communication channel.
Captain, there are explosions and gunfires in the east of yours... I have a bad view here, but it seems that I am fighting fire.
Lu Yang was slightly stunned and looked at Chu Guang and asked.
Are you fighting?
It was guessed that the big brother they stayed outside saw it, Chu Guang said calmly.
You mean east?If that was considered a war, our people were indeed fighting mutants.
Mutants?Lu Yang's face changed slightly. Are there mutants here?
Where isn't there?Those green-skinned guys were everywhere, Chu Guang smiled. Of course, I'm not sure if the mutants in the Valley Province are the same as your mutants on the East Coast. I heard that dark green and light green are not the same.
Either way, they are a bunch of disgusting guys!These wild beasts that look like dogs are like tumors, and they can’t kill them all. They are simply the cancer of civilization!
Lu Yang said gritting his teeth, with a look of hatred for evil, Chu Guang always felt that there was a story.
Chu Guang looked at him and said.
Then are you willing to help us solve this problem?For the future of civilization.
Lu Yang was stunned for a moment and said.
This...is not very good, our discipline does not allow us to intervene in the disputes of the locals.
If he intervenes in the disputes among the locals, he will have troubles one after another. This is very experienced.
It's okay not to intervene in the disputes among the locals.
Why didn’t you say that when you asked us for help?
But mutant people cannot be considered human beings, Chu Guang did not give up and said patiently, and you extended a helping hand to us, in fact, it is also helping yourself.
Lu Yang: What does this mean...
Chu Guang: Think about it, if we have to deal with the harassment of mutants, how can we do our best to help you?I promise you that as long as you solve the mutant troubles for us, we can double the number of workers who support you...that is, two hundred people.Does a reasonable transaction also violate your discipline?
Two hundred workers...
It seems that the Alpha07 version has to be advanced.
Chu Guang thought in his mind that the new version happened to open a new map and sent players to move bricks.Of course, this cannot be regarded as a labor dispatch in name, but a limited-time event in the game.
There are limited-time activities in the closed beta phase, and you can get rewards without krypton gold. Where can I find such a conscientious game company?
Chu Guang himself was almost moved by his conscience.
But Lu Yang, who was standing opposite him, was stunned.
Two hundred people?!
Are there two hundred people in this survivor settlement??
If the village outside is included, it may be possible, but what he needs is strong labor, not the elderly, weak, women and children.
But it is also possible that there are still people who haven't come up underground.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Lu Yang finally nodded reluctantly.
I hope you keep your promise.
If you have more people to help, their progress will be faster.If he could, he didn't want to waste too long here. They had already walked slowly enough after entering the valley province!
Of course, I am the most trustworthy person!
When he said this, Chu Guang smiled cheerfully.
He knows.
From the moment the man in front of him lowered his head, the mutant people who were reluctant to leave on No. 76 were already dead...
As for their captain Lu Yang, he followed Chu Guang into the outpost.
It can be seen that he is very confident in his strength and is not worried about any accidents he will encounter.
Of course, Chu Guang had no intention of causing trouble for himself.
When Lu Yang was invited to the reception room of the sanatorium, Chu Guang wanted to bring something to entertain him, but when he took out the wine glass, Lu Yang quickly waved his hand to stop him.
