Chapter 917 Countless opportunities, the first village shop!
"I, a principled person, am very particular."
"Your words are useful and there will be rewards."
Looking at the information compiled on the table , Chen Shen spoke a half-baked Chinese couplet and kept praising the wild wolf for his honesty like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
In fact, this was his first time doing an interrogation, but he didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. The other party seemed to have been brainwashed, fearing that what he said was not clear enough.
There are so many details that everyone completely believes that even the editor cannot compile them so completely, not to mention that after finishing speaking, the other party will be able to answer them randomly during a random check.
"Professor Lu, do you have anything else to ask him?"
Turning to look at Lu Kuan in the corner, Chen Shen asked softly.
The latter was slightly absent-minded. He didn't react until he asked the question for the second time and quickly shook his head.
"Well, let someone take him down to rest first."
The wild wolf was taken down.
Until the intelligence is verified, he will temporarily stay here as a hostage.
Of course, Wild Wolf himself didn’t want to leave right away. The meal he had just a few hours ago made him extremely comfortable, and he wished he could stay for a few more days.
“In the first year of the Renlian Calendar, Blue Star discovered the space-time singularity that meets the extraterrestrial universe, and has since started continuous output for nearly a hundred years.”
“Due to a large amount of labor, With the outflow of the population and the increasing demand for war, the demand for automated product lines naturally began to be taken seriously, and development hastily entered a new stage without complete preparation, from the most basic automated acquisition of various resources to. All kinds of industrial supplies are becoming unmanned, and most industries are beginning to be taken over by programs and corresponding intelligent machines. Work that might have required hundreds of people can now be completed by only three to five people, which is extremely efficient."
"Human society is highly dependent on the Intelligent Network, and every aspect of life has become inseparable from it. If it hadn't been for the sudden war that broke out later, perhaps in a few hundred years, Butterfly Universe Blue Star would have embarked on the road to the development of intelligent life, and social productivity An increase of hundreds to thousands of times.”
When his eyes stopped at the description of intelligent life in Delang’s confession, Sumo had a strange expression on his face.
At that time, after the Singularity disappeared, Blue Star had become highly centralized and its resources were far from being completely exhausted. Therefore, the turmoil as imagined did not break out. Instead, an inexplicable panic broke out. path to faster development.
The results of various types of intelligent life research have begun to explode. Basic industrial research that has lasted for a century has begun to spring up like mushrooms after a rain. More and more industries no longer require human intervention. Everything looks like it has entered a world. new era.
However, under such circumstances, no one expected that in the 240th year of the Lunar calendar, there would be a terrorist war that would affect the entire planet.
Due to the highly concentrated resources of the Federation, there are no longer distinctions between countries and conflicts of interest. The developing federation has almost no changes in weapons, and the most powerful weapons are still high-yield nuclear weapons.
Faced with the turbulent rebels, the People's Federation's counterattack seemed a bit weak. First, the factory manufacturing Zhilian machinery was destroyed, and then major strongholds were occupied. More and more cities fell and entered a state of disorder. in the chaos.
By October 240, when the first nuclear weapons fell on the rebel positions.
In just two months, Blue Star turned into a sea of war, with most places turned into ruins. Horrible explosions and radiation killed more than 80% of the human population, and the nascent development of intelligence also The flying ashes are annihilated.
To be honest, this story sounds a bit cliché. The banner of the rebels is that intelligent life will eventually control mankind out of control, and they demand that the AFC stop continuing to dehumanize.
But the final outcome was somewhat unexpected.
“Intelligent machines did not disappear due to the destruction of infrastructure after the war. Instead, they became the only hope for survivors. Those pre-war machines that were originally used for various purposes were transformed into murder weapons. The chaos is still continuing.”
It has been nearly three hundred years from 240 to 512.
Blue Star did not restore order under the chaos. Instead, the chaos never stopped due to the discovery of more and more pre-war treasures.
Coupled with the survival pressure brought by the terrifying mutant monsters that appeared due to radiation, the gap between education and civilization has become increasingly obvious.
Soma now somewhat understands the contingency and necessity in the development of civilization.
"Speaking of which, the game issued me a zero number and arranged for the entire Qinggang City to appear next to the territory. Is it because I chose to continue to develop technology?"
According to From past experience, every choice in the game is not aimless, and there are certain reasons for it.
Thinking about those treasures before the war, Sumo couldn't help but have a hint of fantasy.
If we can dig up some of this kind of uncontrolled intelligent machinery, Zero will no longer be a simple server, and will directly complete the path that Blue Star has not been able to take for hundreds of years.
"It seems that the villagers working as scavengers in the village are quite busy."
Suma turned down the page.
I saw Delang's description of the power of the entire Qingang City.
Its interior is complex, with various factions and groups standing in large numbers, occupying the few living spaces.
If the game will drop these so-called "aboriginals" next, then before the people inside discover the changes and find the village
"Strike first will lead to strength, but those who strike later will suffer disaster."
"Set a small goal first and build up the defense line of Qinggang City near the village!"
It only took a few seconds. After a few minutes, Sumo made a judgment. He opened the game panel, edited a few new tasks and sent them to Chen Kai.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
As the morning bell rang in the center of the village, the village gradually became lively.
But in the past, there would be long queues to wash the mouth, but today there were suddenly a lot less people, and some wealthy villagers even enjoyed the long-lost alone time.
The cafeteria that will be the second stop is also a little deserted. The window where the meal is usually served no longer has any eager faces. There are only unhurried people sitting inside and eating breakfast.
Looking down from a high altitude, the General Work Office and the Logistics Office located at the back of the village are now full of people, blocking the alley directly to the main street. The guards deployed to maintain order are constantly shouting, Watch out for stampedes.
The dust is billowing and the fog is filling the air.
After just half a day of trial operation and one night of thinking, most people began to realize the advantages of the new system and the better life that hard work may bring.
Those who did not receive tasks yesterday, air force scavengers, and even people who had spent the night hungry, almost all gathered here today, waiting expectantly for the General Administration of Work to open the door and release tasks to collect money.
Compared to the predators who lived in the sewers and plotted against each other according to the Wild Wolf, they were like the rising sun in the sky waiting to regain its light and heat, young and full of hope.
Finally, at nine o'clock, the door of the General Work Administration opened from the inside.
It is still the seven wooden signs that were put out yesterday, which list the exclusive jobs for the other six routes except for scavengers, as well as the public jobs that everyone in the territory can take.
Because advance news has been released, most people have made plans.
Soon, people began to receive their jobs and leave, setting foot on their posts.
It can be noticed that almost everyone's expressions were very happy when they left, and they were not as depressed and tired as they imagined when they went to work.
The reason is not difficult to understand. Most people's work on earth is not a reflection of their self-worth, but an act of labor they have to perform in order to survive. Those meager rewards, in addition to meeting the needs of life, cannot make people fall in love with this job from the bottom of their hearts. Work.
But the wasteland is different, at least Hope Village is different.
After distinguishing the routes, the chat channels belonging to different routes almost never stopped, and people were discussing and chatting in them all the time.
Those ordinary middle-aged people who have worked hard in the fields for half a lifetime and will disappear immediately if thrown into the crowd, now they only need to shout "I have been farming for most of my life" on the channel, and they will immediately disappear. Countless newbies who have chosen the farmer route post here, pouring tea and water before and after the run, and humbly ask for tips.
Those academic research dogs who only want to graduate and get a good job now only need to say in the channel: "I went to XX University and what major I studied" and they will be immediately dismissed. He is regarded as the boss of the channel and entrusted with important responsibilities.
There are also those construction workers who are inconspicuous on the construction site. They are the bottom of the civilized era. They have never enjoyed the gaze of the spotlight, nor have they enjoyed the trust and admiration of their peers.
But now, in the construction apprenticeship channel, these workers have been dubbed "masters" by Mengxin and have become the mainstay of the route.
A very strange feeling.
Obviously, we are still working for survival just like in the civilized era, but in addition to the most basic materials, we have obtained many more things.
There is recognition and expectation.
There is a spontaneous urge to work hard, and there are also moments of extreme satisfaction.
It’s hard to imagine that they actually got the highest level of Maslow’s five levels of needs. Even though these jobs and routes are only based on the lowest level of survival, they now bring the highest level of spirit. Pleasure.
At the end of the day, the performance of the villagers did not disappoint.
Almost everyone completed their work perfectly, even exceeded their expectations, and received their salary.
Even the "Yuyou Fire King" who left early in the morning also brought a surprise and submitted the first version of the mass-produced crossbow.
Based on the remaining manufacturing traces on the crossbow, Sumo could roughly tell that this was not a stock that had been prepared before, but the result of the entire day today.
It is fast and has the potential for mass production.
As for the experience
I tried shooting a few arrows, and Sumo put it down with great satisfaction.
Because it is a weapon for everyone in the first version, this wooden crossbow named "Wolf Crossbow" is not very powerful. It can basically only deal with some unarmored humans or those who have not mutated and evolved protective weapons. An animal.
Especially for the bow string, because there are no fiber materials or natural materials such as beef tendons to replace it, Yoyo Fire King chose to use low-quality steel wire produced in the territory, and the probability of damage is not small.
But it is undeniable that it has an irreplaceable advantage.
Cheap!
According to the current material price given by the Territory Logistics Department, such a wolf crossbow can be purchased for only three Tianyuan copper coins at the ex-factory price.
Based on the current income balance of ordinary people, it only takes ten days to purchase such a lethal long-range weapon.
And its ammunition is very cheap. When the mold is made, the cost of pouring molten iron for a crossbow arrow only costs five iron coins.
As long as the iron smelting in the village can continue to reduce costs, the price can continue to drop.
In short, based on the performance of this wolf crossbow, Youyou Firepower King successfully obtained the territory's first internal loan.
Amount: 800 days of copper coins, loan period: 3 months.
If he hadn't been afraid of breaking the rules by issuing a large amount of loans rashly, Sumo would have even thought of investing three to five thousand to hire some people to increase production.
But considering its impact on other people in the territory, and subsequent rule formulation.
In the end, King Yoyo Firepower happily walked away with the agreement.
According to his plan, the "Firepower Weapon Store" will begin trial operation tomorrow, and the initial output can be maintained at 5 weapons per day.
After the subsequent customized tools are in place, let alone doubling the output, as long as the manufacturing materials are enough, even doubling it tenfold is not a problem.
At the same time, this loan also gave him a taste of the sweetness.
Yuyou Fire King even plans to find someone to continue investing, reduce the impact of materials on weapons, make a breakthrough in smelting iron ore as soon as possible, and no longer use such inferior steel wire to ruin the reputation.
"Director, are we sure we want to grant him the first prime location at the entrance of the village?" When I saw Somo holding the wolf crossbow and shooting for the sixteenth time, the bow string suddenly exploded into two pieces and almost When it bounced back and hit someone, Chen Shen was startled and said hurriedly.
"Of course, this is the first commercial establishment built by villagers in the territory, and a certain amount of publicity is necessary."
"But this thing doesn't look reliable at all."
Chen Shen picked up the wolf crossbow and saw the deep marks left on the wood by the rebound of the wire rope. He wiped the cold sweat from his head with lingering fear.
There has not been the first casualty in the territory so far. He does not want to see anyone using this to carry him into the medical center and achieve a breakthrough from zero to one.
“It’s okay, isn’t there a market only if there is demand?”
"When someone comes up with the idea of improving this wire rope and comes to us for a loan, won't we solve another problem and gain new development at the same time?"
Sumo said with a smile.
“We need to promote it well tomorrow. It’s best to trick more people into coming for loans.”
“Especially those S-level assessment talents, please send some people to me. It’s exciting, I don’t believe they can still sit still.”
“Then I know.”
Chen Shen answered vaguely, and the two of them brought the topic back to Qinggang City.
The wild wolf's quick glance in the air only gave him a general idea. According to the reports from the adventure group that went out to explore, Qinggang City has not yet been fully conveyed.
Nowadays, the closer to the territory, the faster the transmission speed. Many buildings that are about to collapse have formed the upper part, and the lower part is still brewing rapidly in the gray fog.
The farther away from the territory, the slower the transmission speed. In many places, there is only gray fog occupying the place.
"Tomorrow I will take someone over to take a look. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will leave it to Su Deben to supervise and handle it. You can just concentrate on the development and economy of the village."
< br>
"There are also those scavengers, let them not go outside the territory first to avoid unnecessary risks."
