Chapter 923 Frenzy demand, domestic demand explosion!


Chapter 923: Fanatic demand, domestic demand explodes!

“Damn it, they are selling long-range weapons. I thought they were machetes, spears or something like that! The firepower guy is awesome!”

“With this thing in hand, I still I'm afraid of a mutated creature with a hammer."

"Good guy, the original price is only four copper coins? Are you sure you won't lose money at this price?"

"If you have one, This crossbow, with six people in a team, can completely form a fire coverage, it is too powerful!”

"It's a pity that the price of this arrow is only 5 iron coins, which is still a bit unaffordable."

"Be more confident, maybe if you shoot a few arrows, today's income will be in vain."
< br>The benefit a long-range weapon brings to humans is a complete change from 0 to 1.

Even though most people no longer lack the courage to fight in close combat, the psychological advantage at long range is still irreplaceable.

As for the price of ammunition

After hearing that the people he had arranged to support had not yet asked, the first wave of villagers who squeezed in asked in cooperation.

Yuyou Fire King was overjoyed, but his expression remained as usual and he quickly replied:

"Don't worry, considering everyone's ammunition consumption problem, I have already informed the current steel workshop in the village in advance. , and also signed an agreement of intent with the new steel plant that is about to be established. "

"Although the cost of a crossbow arrow is five iron coins, it will definitely decrease as the demand increases in the future. , I can guarantee you here.

Once every crossbow arrow is damaged after use, we will recycle it at a price of 80% of the remaining weight, that is, as long as we can bring back all the fragments of the crossbow arrow, You can exchange it for 4 iron coins, or add 1 iron coin to buy new arrows! ”

The Yoyo Fire King spoke in a convoluted way and very fast.

Many people are still hesitating, but a few villagers who understand have already taken action quickly!

"Boss, hurry up, give me a handful and five more arrows!"

"Yes, I want one too, no, I want two!"

“I have twelve copper coins here, you sell me four of them, I don’t want crossbow arrows!”

Since the crossbow arrows can be recycled, one copper coin can ideally be fired 6-8 times.

The price is simply too good, even if the territory does start selling guns in the later period.

I believe that many people will continue to choose to use wolf crossbows in exchange for a more economical cost.

In this case, the production capacity of the fire weapon shop will definitely not be able to keep up with the needs of the villagers at this stage.

If you can stock up on a few at this time, you might be able to make a fortune as a second-hand dealer.

But it's a pity.

Looking at the enthusiastic and excited faces in front of the counter, Youyou Fire King smiled and said something from his mouth.

"Everyone, I'm sorry. We in Tianyuan Territory must register if we want to purchase weapons, and for repeated purchases, we must either hand in the damaged weapons or state sufficient reasons."

"This is what the lord means. , I hope you won’t embarrass me.”

Only one sale per person?

Crazy? Don't you want to make money anymore?

At first hearing Youyou Fire King’s explanation, the villagers gathered in the front row were a little surprised.

But after hearing later that this was the lord's arrangement, these people couldn't help but remain silent.

Weapons bring powerful self-protection capabilities, but they also bring corresponding risks.

Especially in the extremely unstable wasteland environment, once a conflict breaks out between each other, it can easily turn into an all-out armed conflict due to hot-headedness.

"You must abide by the rules when you buy them. The details about the use of weapons will be announced in the afternoon. You should think carefully. If you violate the rules, you will be banned from purchasing weapons for life, or you will be expelled from the territory directly."
< br>Youyou Fire King knocked on the counter and looked at the crowd behind who were still trying to squeeze in. The meaning was self-evident.

“I will buy it!”

“I will buy it too!”

“Give me one too.”

The price is so low that you can buy one with just four days of work, making this wolf crossbow very cost-effective.

Except for the first ten people who came in, two people did not save enough three coppers and just came in to watch the fun, the other eight people all purchased the first batch of "high-quality" wolf crossbows.

For the sake of word of mouth and reputation, YoYo Fire King boldly shouted out the slogan of three-month warranty. During this period, if there are any quality problems, you can come and replace them at will without any charge.

With such generous conditions, as soon as these people walked out of the house, the people behind them crowded up like crazy, waving their banknotes one after another. It looked like they wanted to rush into the store and give them to leftovers. Grab all the goods.

Of course, even though Yoyo Fire King and his old carpenter father have been working at full capacity, there are only twenty-six in stock after three days.

Just after receiving three batches of customers, a closing sign was hung at the door of the fire weapons store.

“Everyone, I’m so sorry.”

“Our weapons store’s current daily production capacity is about 6-8 weapons. Today’s inventory has been sold out. If I can’t get it, I can only buy it at I would like to apologize here. At the same time, I also want to advertise again. The weapon shop is currently recruiting apprentices, and they will sign a formal work agreement, and the daily salary is 25 iron coins a day. "

"If you are willing to join, you can go to the Work Administration. Check the specific requirements. ”

Yuyou Fire King’s apology did not satisfy everyone, but the generous offer he subsequently offered made many villagers who chose the craft enthusiast route shine.

Not to mention this huge income, which exceeded the highest daily salary in the territory.

If craft enthusiasts want to upgrade, they have to make things for other players to use in order to accumulate experience.

There is obviously no shortage of sales for the wolf crossbows produced by this fire weapon shop. If you can take this opportunity to add them...

Damn, this is a great opportunity to gain experience!

Just looking at the performance of outsiders, the demand for wolf crossbows has reached an exaggerated level.

The more you do it and the more people use it, the faster your experience will grow.

And when it comes to making money, some people still hesitate, but upgrade their route level and gain more powerful abilities.

Immediately, dozens of people in the crowded crowd left in a hurry. Looking at the route, it was obvious that they were going to the village work department.

Watching these people leave, Youyou Fire King couldn't help but smile.

He is not stupid, why would he offer the highest daily wage job in the village?

The bet is that these apprentices who join the weapons shop will join the work with a life-threatening spirit, trying to make the most wolf crossbows in the shortest time and sell them, so as to gain more experience.

As long as they can perform as expected, compared to the productivity they pay, the daily salary of 25 iron coins is not to mention high. On average, it is not even as comfortable as ordinary work.

At the same time, the Firepower Weapon Store can also quickly accumulate reputation and funds in the initial stage, invest in subsequent research and development, and always maintain the absolute advantage of opening a weapon store later.

This wave is a win-win situation.

No, it should be said that he won.

The soon-to-be-opened Dreammaking Steel Factory promised in its letter of intent that as long as the weapon shop needs more than 10,000 crossbow arrows at a time, the cost will be reduced by an additional 0.1.

Based on the price difference, the fixed income alone starts at one hundred coppers.

In the future, even if the weapon shop only sells crossbows, it will make considerable profits.

"However, a simple wolf crossbow is just the first step. I don't dare to study these things on earth, and no one cares about me in the wasteland."

As long as the battle does not involve cannons In the confrontation stage, the crossbow will always be useful.

Not to mention the various crossbows with various functions, the firepower king Youyou has countless inspirations in his mind just for the modification of crossbow arrows.

Furthermore, as long as there is a steady flow of capital injection and continuous demand, then research and development will still be nothing.

Looking at the disappointed and dispersed crowd below, he silently made up his mind.

Only by mastering the source of development can we always stay in the first echelon.

With his ability, it is too difficult to get a loan to start a precision manufacturing factory, but as long as the fire weapons shop can quickly accumulate enough funds.

Collect good talents, and a manufacturing plant can be built at any time! The western suburbs of Qinggang City.

In the outermost bungalow area, a team of seven people carefully followed the arrow formation and searched forward along the foggy neighborhood.

Sumo, wearing the sun-chasing armor, was walking behind, always monitoring the changes around him.

At the same time, a small square was being held in his hand, continuously emitting blue rays that were invisible to the naked eye.

"Master, based on comparison of yesterday's traces, new human footprints have appeared within a hundred meters of the surrounding area."

Number Zero is connected to the central system of the armor, and the sound is directly transmitted inside the helmet.

Limited by that strange blue-purple carpet, as soon as its detection range extends out, the information wave will be absorbed and neutralized by the colony, which will waste energy and cause signal disorder. .

There was no other way, so Sumo could only narrow the range to a hundred meters, and use his legs as much as possible to carry him to the place where he stayed yesterday for detection.

As expected, this test revealed a problem.

The western suburbs where Qinggang City has descended have already been followed by aboriginal people, but they don’t know where they are hiding for the time being.

“Can you detect which direction they went?”

“There are three footprints, leading to different directions, but based on the inclination and depth of their footprints, and then based on their Calculating the degree of heel wear, the final direction should be Northeast 37.”

Holy shit?

Even if it is divided into three directions, it cannot be separated from the detection calculation of No. 0?

For the first time, Sumo raised his hand, having a deeper understanding of this little thing, and also understanding of the obsession of humans left behind by Blue Star in the research of intelligent life.

If Blue Star researchers could really develop and manufacture a device like Zero at that time, perhaps the war that destroyed civilization would not have happened at all, and the rebels would have been traced and eliminated before they even left the house.

It shouldn’t be too simple to supply an energy-consuming monster like Zero for an entire planet.

At that time, productivity will enter a new stage, and those seemingly irreconcilable contradictions will soon disappear invisible due to the explosion of technology.

“Adjust direction, go to Northeast 37, and enter combat status.”

Sumo gave the command, and the arrow-shaped formation began to change, gradually dividing into two teams to form a triangle to cover each other, while detecting changes in all directions.

But Feng Long slowed down, looked around nervously, and returned to the rear.

"Director, are there any enemies?"

"We haven't found any yet, but we have found traces of human activities."

"New." Sumo looked confused. Somewhat dignified.

"New traces?" Feng Long was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said excitedly: "In the place we searched yesterday?"

Good guy, he was targeted by this group of people yesterday, and he was still sleeping at night. No, I'm afraid that the other party will follow the traces and reach around the village.

Now they have discovered the other party's flaw first.

If this can lead to their lair.

“Not only in the places we searched, but also in many other places”

"It seems that the western suburbs of Qinggang City are quite lively?"

Moving forward, Number Zero regretted many new messages.

In addition to those three footprints, there were also footprints leading to other directions.

This is not good news. It directly confirms the Wild Wolf's description of Qinggang City from the side.

The large and small forces are complex, some may have only a dozen people, and some may have as many as hundreds.

Each force may be separated by a city block or a ruins blown down by bombs.

They either live in dark, damp sewers or abandoned buildings, or they start from scratch and choose to build bunkers and small camps in open areas.

Relying on some remaining pre-war facilities, Qinggang City can still support tens of thousands of people.

Now that we collectively travel to the wasteland, almost all of them have become time bombs.

"The direction correction is successful, the footprints have been gathered, heading to the direction Northeast 33"

"Please note that there is a danger detection at 39 meters in the north 21st direction."

Not far away, three shallow footprints coming from different directions have gathered together.

Signing everyone to slow down, Somo cautiously came to the front and lowered his body.

Between two ordinary stones, there is a silver-white thread that is almost invisible to the naked eye and runs across the ground.

Especially hidden in heavy fog, such a trap naturally has a new layer of protection.

If it hadn't been for the warning from No. 0, Sumo had no doubt that the observer walking in front of Ming Wu Jing would have stepped on it.

"Director, this is"

Ming Wu Jing was shocked and quickly got down and lay on the ground to observe.

On both sides of the silk thread, pulling behind the stone are two small glass bottles.

The most eye-catching thing in the glass bottle is a ball of black powder, about 100g.

In front of the powder is a broken cylindrical transparent object. It looks like the back end of a gel pen has been cut off. It is equipped with a spring, a ring-mounted pull pin, and a one-centimetre-long gray-white thin wire. And some black and red powder.

The white line lying horizontally on the ground just passes through the oil seal at the mouth of the bottle and is fixed on the ring-mounted pull pin.

"It's a trip mine made of black powder!"

This thing is not unfamiliar to Somo. It was this good thing that blew up the kobold camp.

But it is impossible to kill someone who accidentally steps on it with just this little black powder. The greatest significance is early warning and deterrence.

However, time has passed and I see it again in this modern ruined city.

A ridiculous yet real feeling could not help but spread from everyone's hearts.

"With this thing, it seems that it must have arrived at this group's territory."

"Stay where you are, wait for me here."

Suma He stood up, his eyes twinkling slightly.

The ordinary black powder is not worth mentioning. The actual combat value of this thing is simply too low.

Once the explosion is heard for several kilometers, it is equivalent to using a big speaker to tell others your location.

It is the white polyester fiber thread and the gray-white cotton thread used to start the fire in the glass bottle.

"The other party has a place to produce cotton, or does it have inventory?"

Cotton is one of the important components of smokeless gunpowder.

In the past, when there was a creation function, you could exchange survival points for some.

Now that the function has been cancelled, Sumo has not found the whereabouts of this thing for a long time.

If we can really "borrow" some from this group of people, the ammunition production line may be able to start up, which will greatly alleviate the current tense ammunition shortage!
