Chapter 963: Cotton business, fear of insufficient firepower!
Free thoughts can never grow in a cage of imprisonment.
Only when it goes to the wild can it successfully take root, break through the soil, and eventually grow into a towering tree.
Originally, the two people’s plan for this trip was just to dig out the passage, and then they hurried back and pretended to be nonchalant to cover up the news.
Wait until the recent trend has passed, or until the meeting between the major forces in Qinggang City ends.
Then go and make a deal with the mysterious Tianyuan Refuge.
But I just lay down in the rain and received this baptism-like "bath" from head to toe.
Involuntarily, Liu Lu and Lao Lu's thoughts changed at the same time.
As for the reason, it is also very simple.
“I originally thought that the Pingtan Army would strictly monitor the interior, but I didn’t expect that they didn’t care at all. A large number of manpower were deployed near the Fifth Ring Road. This is definitely because they are afraid that the harbor shelter will be the same as last time. , don’t follow the rules and make a surprise attack.”
"According to this situation, if a settlement or even cooperation is reached between the two shelters, it will be easier for us to be monitored for clues during our transactions."
"And now, everyone happens to be It’s the time when you least pay attention to us.”
After leaving the shelter, Liu Lu’s mind became much easier to use.
Seeing that the time passed four o'clock, the two wandered around the nearby neighborhood for a while, and then returned to the Pingtan Shelter.
Of course, they didn't forget to pass on the message.
In a hidden ruins agreed upon by both parties, Liu Lu left the transaction information.
Not just cotton, not just those discarded industrial products.
In total, this should be the first official transaction between the two parties.
Perhaps it is because of the continuous oppression from Jin Dafa and Jin Dazhi in the recent period, or perhaps it is because of the unreasonable strength of Hunter Tiger and the perverted rules of Pingtan Sanctuary.
What he wants now is no longer the supplies to complete the mission on the seventh floor, as well as some necessities for survival in the shelter.
"All we ask for is to keep our lives in our own hands and not be manipulated by others."
"As long as I don't continue to be forced, I will not take this road unless I have to."
Go back to the office on the seventh floor and sit down, taking off your work clothes that are full of mud and water.
Liu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes became firmer than ever before.
The last day of the calendar year is September 8th.
This is the first heavy rain in the entire New World since September.
It rained heavily and it lasted until noon.
Because there was a lot of water under the abandoned bridge, Darren went to investigate and rushed back with a sigh.
Given the current situation, don’t even think about taking a shortcut through this road for at least three days.
But if we take a detour and take another small road in the western suburbs, the journey time will be close to ten kilometers.
It doesn't sound like a long journey, just over an hour in the wilderness.
You can switch to Qinggang City with complex terrain. Even if you set off in the morning, you may not be able to get through smoothly in the evening.
In addition, the longer the front line is, the more difficult it will be to deal with security issues.
After summing up the risks, today’s collection location returned to an unexplored place in the western suburbs.
But according to the engineers from the Red Spider Caravan who came over and wanted to buy extra meals separately.
They will soon use readily available materials and accessories to build a makeshift amphibious vehicle to pass through the river bed.
This won’t take too long and it will be completed tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
So after the plan to explore the second floor of Triumph Hospital was shelved, the harmonious atmosphere was not affected much.
However, the sight turned back to Hope Village.
Compared with the previous few days, the atmosphere here is much more lively.
Early in the morning, tens of thousands of people gathered in the square in front of the villagers, chatting and waiting to receive the corresponding equipment.
“Speaking of which, I’ve never done mining before, so why are you a little excited?”
“You kid, I think you’re excited because mining is about reproduction. Action gives the job that contributes the most points, right?”
“Hahaha, who says it’s not the case? With 3 contribution points a day and 25 iron coins, I’ll be so excited about this mining!”
“If you ask me, the best thing is to join the Tianyuan Army. Although there are no fixed contribution points, as long as you participate in the battle, you may be able to receive a hundred and eighty contribution points at once if you win.”
< br>
"That makes sense, but I faint at the sight of blood. It seems that I have no chance of going to the battlefield in this life."
"Do you think there will be a war with Qinggang City recently? Yesterday The scavenger team didn’t say anything at night, why do I feel a little panicked?”
“We are afraid of Hammer, we have the lord here, why are we afraid of some aboriginal people?”
“Um, too? Ouch.”
The sudden launch of the reproduction plan last night disrupted the arrangements of all the villagers.
The infrastructure construction that was just on the fast track was forced to stop, and everyone temporarily lost their "freedom."
From now until the next disaster comes.
Everyone must complete certain contribution tasks within the deadline.
Or go to the mine in the territory, join in the mining work, and dig out the maximum amount of minerals.
Or bring the tools issued by the Ministry of Construction, form a team as required, and go to the designated location to build defense facilities.
Or join the newly formed transport team to transport large quantities of supplies to the territory's borders.
Or join the Tianyuan Army, get full-time training, and be ready to fight on the battlefield at any time.
If it were in peaceful times, it would be very difficult to implement such a plan, and you would definitely encounter all kinds of resistance.
But in the wasteland, in a world full of dangers, natural disasters can strike at any time.
The reaction of the villagers was very real.
No one protested, almost as soon as the plan was issued.
Everyone’s focus is no longer on losing their “freedom”, but on the contribution points rewarded by each task.
From the lowest 1 point, to 2 points, to the highest 3 points, and tasks with no upper limit.
If you accumulate points at this rate, you will be able to accumulate 500 points in less than half a year.
Good guy.
This is a requirement for staying in the dungeon.
Be able to have a small area of your own in the wasteland, even if it is only ten square meters.
Not to mention these tasks that pay higher than normal jobs, just go out and fight with people right away.
I believe that many people will take up arms and resolutely go to the battlefield.
The gathering time was not too long, and soon tens of thousands of people chose their favorite tasks and left in all directions.
The water on the ground has not completely subsided, leaving dense footprints on the unhardened ground in front of the village gate. "Lord Manager, we have prepared the supplies that the other party needs."
The fiery apocalyptic madman walked in from the open door, his face still unfinished. Oil stains.
On his back was a Wolf Fang rifle newly produced by the weapons factory. On his left waist were two decent-looking grenades, and on his right trouser leg were two tactical weapons with a flashing black light. The dagger looks more and more like those lawless "cowboys" in Qinggang City.
However, the cowboys do not have as sophisticated equipment as he does.
From the smell coming from the air far away, Sumo immediately determined that this rifle, which was exactly the same as an AK, was named Wolf Fang by the doomsday madman. So far, it had not fired a single shot.
Out of bullets, it is indeed an embarrassing thing for a weapons factory whose firearms production line has reached a stable production of about fifteen guns per day.
Enemies are everywhere, and the remaining bullets must be used at the most critical moment.
A few days ago, the apocalyptic madman borrowed five rounds of bullets from the military camp after all the hard talking, and installed them on the improved M-1 rifle to test the posture of the gun body.
But now, he is very excited.
Just this morning, the border guards who routinely went to a hidden ruins in the western suburbs to check for news finally brought back good news.
Right away, the raw material cotton used to make nitrocellulose will be in place!
Seeing him nod, Sumo put down his pen and felt confused.
“It’s not yet night, will they be able to trade with us now?”
“Yes, the senior officer Liu Lu who left the message made an agreement with us The time is five o'clock in the afternoon. You are suspicious."
"It's okay, they don't dare to fish for law enforcement. Since it can be transported out, it's a good time for us to trade now."
"Wait for me."
After saying that, Sumo got up and returned to the partition Behind, open the Sun Chaser box placed in the corner.
Buzz.
Under the induction of the Key of Creation, all the parts were quickly put together.
After putting on this outfit, Sumo thought for a while and hung the folding alloy gun in the corner based on the second-generation Dali platform made by the steel factory in the buckle ring on his back.
The length of the gun body is one meter and eighty meters, and it naturally stands up toward the sky behind its back.
Looking at Sumo walking out in this outfit, the doomsday madman, who was still excited about replenishing ammunition, his eyes widened instantly.
“Damn it. This is so handsome.”
Dark red painted armor, a triangular helmet that sits low on the breastplate.
Two dark red narrow eyes, and a thick and powerful pneumatic connecting rod at each joint combination.
In an instant, the doomsday madman felt that the gun in his hand was no longer good.
When the two went outside, some villagers who had not completely walked away also let out similar sighs.
“Damn, is that a lord? This damn guy is so awesome!”
“This is the Power Armor, this is the power they brag about every day on the World Channel Battle Armor.”
"Why don't you open a screenshot in the game? Oh no, why don't you open a camera function? If this suit of armor can be uploaded to the world channel, it won't be much more handsome than the power suit that those people say."
"Gan! It would be great if the contribution points can be used to exchange for this armor."
"Stop dreaming, at least wait until the Tianyuan Army is ready, then we will be able to purchase it, right?"
"No. , What are you thinking? Is this something that our shabby weapons factory can make?” Isn’t it? When he tried the gun before, the barrel almost exploded.”
"."
Listening to the villagers' lowered voices, the doomsday madman's face turned dark.
Damn it, it’s true that good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Isn’t it normal for something to go wrong with a work of art like a modified M-1 rifle?
Besides, it was just jammed. Why did it explode after being passed around?
Also, build such a battle armor.
Don’t they know that materials come first?
The Dream Steel Factory cannot make materials that are strong enough to withstand the frontal impact of bullets, so what if it can reproduce the armor.
It's just a humanoid self-propelled coffin. It's used as a target and only one round of shooting is over.
"Speaking of which, I haven't visited your place in the past few days. That machine tool is not bad. How is the progress?"
As a competent manager, Sumo suppressed his smile and changed the topic after hearing the discussion of the surrounding villagers.
In fact, in his opinion, the progress of the weapons factory is already extremely fast.
Although the repaired machine tool is powerful, it is not omnipotent in actual use.
First of all, although it integrates a large number of features of industrial manufacturing equipment, it has functions such as punching, pressing, cutting, and chipping.
But to use it, you need to input special design drawings in Blue Star language and according to specific program specifications.
This step is difficult for people without language talent.
Secondly, the more delicate things are made, the slower the machine tool becomes.
After all, it can only perform one job per unit of time and cannot use all functions at the same time.
With these restrictions, the doomsday madman can create a gun from scratch in less than ten days.
In his spare time, he also used it to build two simple machine tools and a thermal punching machine for making gun barrels.
This progress can fully illustrate his talent and talent.
“The progress is very good. After using this machine tool, it is easier to use than I imagined. For example, now, making cheap products like Wolf fang rifles that do not require high precision, according to my According to the plan, the gun production line is estimated to be able to operate independently in another half month, freeing up this Baruch F-325 micro-intelligent industrial machine tool."
"In addition, I have also prepared manufacturing in advance. The bullet's four-punch stamping machine has also produced a batch of experimental equipment for the toxic chemical factory. As long as the raw materials are in place, it can guarantee a daily production rate of at least two thousand rounds!"
"Iron Hammer's Steel Factory wants to Try to use the one-tank steelmaking process to purify better Dali iron ore. Recently, they also need me to use machine tools to help them make some high-sealing process tanks, and the schedule is still very tight.”
On the way to the trading location, the doomsday madman introduced the recent development of the industrial area in detail.
From the initial technical climb to the current preparation for trial production.
Not only have the steel mills and weapons factories achieved stable output, but several other erected factories have also improved.
A large number of orders have been backlogged to Lianmeng Steel Factory. As long as the equipment is available, we can try to start work immediately.
"The progress is very good. After waiting for this period of time, I will give you rewards individually."
As a player with a severe phobia of insufficient firepower, Su was worried about the empty weapons arsenal in the territory. It would be a lie if Mo said he was not in a hurry.
Last night, for some reason, little guy Zero suddenly ran out after the people in Qinggang Shelter left and predicted the winning rate of Tianyuan Territory after a wave of wars.
According to his prediction, if a war starts between Tianyuan Shelter and Pingtan Shelter or Harbor Shelter now.
The probability of winning is only a pitiful 3%, of which 2.5% still takes into account Sumo himself who is wearing the Sun Chaser Armor.
In other words, the winning rates of both sides are now truly 0.5% versus 99.5%.
This feeling is simply terrible!
