Raise the route level to level 10 and pass the game's evolution test.
After acquiring the ability of ‘structural vision’, this was the first time Fan Fuzheng encountered a situation where his ability failed.
Looking up at the nearby villages still has the effect.
Turning around to look back at the dungeon ahead, there was still no reaction.
“This is really my first time encountering it.”
Fan Fuzheng was curious, but he couldn't directly ask the guard captain next to him.
He can probably guess the reason.
If structural vision can decipher the structure of the underground city from such a distance, then the security of the underground city is too poor.
If the surveyor is the enemy, it is easy to imprint the structure of the dungeon and then formulate a targeted attack plan.
Of course, it is also possible that the current structural visual level is not enough, or that the dungeon has been equipped with special protection measures.
With full curiosity, the two of them entered the first floor of the dungeon one after another.
To be honest, it looks ordinary from a distance, but it is still ordinary inside.
The structural style of the first floor of the underground city is somewhat like a shopping mall on the earth. The facades of each room are separated and have signboards with different words on them.
The storefront doesn’t look like a serious business, it’s more like a product display.
“Why are these signature names stranger than each other?”
Fan Fu was looking back and forth, feeling a little unaccustomed to these slightly middle-class names on the sign.
Not to mention the Imperial Building Materials Factory, the Future Cannery Factory, the Star Chariot Factory, the Dream Steel Factory, etc.
These factories actually have branch factories.
For example, the Star Chariot Factory has four branches, namely:
Satellite Agricultural Machinery Factory.
Planetary transport plant.
Star Engineering Factory.
Nebula Special Factory.
Different classifications include almost all types of vehicles.
At this time, it is not yet noon.
Fan Fuzheng glanced around and found that there were only a few people discussing in the shop with the signboard of 'Satellite Agricultural Machinery Factory'.
He walked sideways and listened secretly to the conversation inside:
"Director Song Yanhua, our Black Stone definitely comes here with sincerity this time. Look at the previous prices. Can you give us some more discounts?”
The Blue Star man sitting in the guest seat spoke in a half-baked Chinese dialect.
The middle-aged man facing him should be the so-called 'Director Song'.
"Mr. Walsh, it's not that we don't want to give you discounts, it's really the cost."
"You three brothers' shelter combined only needs five excavators in total. The demand is It’s not big, we might still lose money when we start the production line.”
Song Yanhua was full of energy, with a smile on his round face.
Obviously it was a rejection, but when I heard it, I couldn't bear the slightest trace of anger.
“But. Here we are.”
"If there are any difficulties, intuitively speaking, we can be considered acquaintances."
"That's good." Walsh gritted his teeth: "I heard that the alliance has now opened a special support construction loan, as long as it can prove the purchase If the property is used for urban construction, you can take out a mortgage and repay it slowly over twelve months.”
“We want to see if we can apply for it and guarantee the repayment on time!”
Black stone, black iron, black soil.
Three small shelters are connected with each other and set up in the northern area of the southern suburbs.
The location is close to the Clear Harbor Refuge, and like the Harbor Refuge, it is relatively close to the seaside.
As the city passes through, the former sea disappears and turns into large expanses of exposed wasteland.
As the saying goes, increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
The managers of the three major shelters together plan to follow the example of the Alliance and open up land for planting outside.
Even if the harvest is not as good as expected, it will still be a stable income in the long run.
It's just that compared to those large and luxurious shelters, the trading items they can offer are really pitiful.
The previous waves of purchases have basically exhausted the foreign exchange savings.
Now I want to buy another batch of agricultural machinery, but it suddenly seems a bit stretched.
“Special support loan?”
Song Yanhua paused slightly and winked to the side.
Immediately, a staff member pulled out a few pieces of paper from the folder on the desk, with dense text recorded on them.
After reading for a while, Song Yanhua raised his head and confirmed:
"That's what happened!"
"But even if you can prove that these machines are used in cities Construction, if you want to be approved for a loan, you still have to provide collateral ”
“Clear, we know clearly”
Upon hearing about the game, Walsh nodded quickly, indicating that he had read the document carefully.
“We don’t have the core technology ourselves and cannot meet the alliance’s demand conditions.”
“In terms of materials, we have alliances that have them, and the prices are higher than what we paid for them at the time. Cheap”
“However, we can provide population, we can use population as collateral!”
Construction loans, three different pledges.
Technology, materials, population.
For most southern suburban shelters, the only way they can get a loan is through ‘population’.
“We can provide 200 well-trained guards for each family, along with their relatives, adding up to at least 600 people!”
“Three families, that’s at least 1,800 people!”
After laying the groundwork for a long time, Walsh finally revealed the most important purpose of his trip.
But what caught him off guard was that Director Song across from him seemed to have seen through his trick.
A hint of teasing appeared on Chubby's face:
"Wait, isn't it the forty-year-old old guard again?"
"Ah this ." Walsh shook his head quickly, but then he could only nod blankly.
“Don’t worry, I can guarantee that their combat qualities are exactly the same as those of the veterans on the plains, and when we pay back the money, if they don’t want to go back, we won’t force them!”
The managers of the three shelters have very good calculations.
In the past, when the city was in chaos and there were powerful enemies around, every veteran with rich combat experience was a treasure and the anchor of the refuge.
But now, as the world changes, the pattern in the city is gradually becoming clearer.
The battles that happened as frequently as before probably won’t happen anymore.
Veterans over forty have been unable to serve on the battlefield for a few years. If they are injured and survive, they will immediately become idlers who can only eat, and often require several people to support them.
Moreover, most of these people have been living in the shelter for so many years and are already raising families.
To deal with one person is like pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud, and to deal with three or five people at once.
If this group of people can be sent to the Alliance, they can not only obtain a loan, but also solve the bloated population system in the shelter. In the future, they may be able to get closer to the Alliance through veterans.
It’s a win-win-win!
No, they won three times!
"That's it. It's really hard to say. After all, I see that this policy is indeed included in the document."
Song Yanhua looked embarrassed and hesitated for a while before deciding: "If you approve the loan, you have to bring the person here first. Only We can only get the procedures after passing the verification of Tianyuan Army."
"Understood! I will handle it when I get back and try to complete the procedures tomorrow!"
Walsh was overjoyed. There is no trace of disguise on his face.
And this scene also stunned Fan Fuzheng, who was standing not far outside the door.
Loan, population pledge?
Is this definitely a normal construction loan, not some population business under false pretenses?
And looking at the atmosphere in the field, the Blue Star people who sent people out were actually happier?
"Master Fan?"
The guard captain walking in front turned his head and found Fan Fu standing there stunned, and quickly came over.
"Oh, let's go, let's go!"
When he came back to his senses, Fan Fuzheng quickly pulled away his legs.
Just the complicated look on his face betrayed that he was not in a calm mood at this time.
In my impression, compared with the people on Earth, the technology and foundation of the Blue Stars should be better.
But in this scene, the poor Blue Star Sanctuary looks very much like those small marginal countries in ancient times.
Facing the behemoth of the 'Alliance', we can only rely on supplying people in exchange for supplies.
The status of the two is completely reversed, which makes people uneasy. "There is an elevator in front of you. I'll press B6 for you. Someone will guide you when you enter."
The guard captain swiped his ID card, obtained the permission to use the elevator and pressed B6 .
Dang!
With a crisp sound, the gray elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.
Elevator?
Fan Fuzheng felt numb, quickly thanked him and walked in.
Since Blue Star people are willing to exchange their populations to obtain technology and products.
It may not be so difficult to understand that there is an elevator in the dungeon.
Under the cordial wave of the guard captain, the elevator door slowly closed and began to descend vertically.
Fan Fuzheng glanced at the buttons above. The lowest one is currently only B6.
"Is there only six floors in the dungeon?"
As he spoke, he laughed silently.
Building six floors above ground and six floors underground are completely different concepts. The difficulty of the two is very different.
But perhaps it was because I had seen too many incredible things when I came here, but now these six floors seem somewhat normal.
While thinking, the elevator stopped.
As the crisp sound sounded again, a soft but hard-to-look-away light slowly appeared.
The entrance to the eye is a channel composed of seamless high-strength alloy plates, combined into a honeycomb pattern.
A little light shimmers in the gaps between the boards, giving people a feeling of being in the future world.
Taking a step forward, there was a slight warmth under my feet.
Fan Fuzheng lowered his body and touched it in confusion, and found that the ground material was not simple.
“Is this a dungeon?”
The difference between what you see in front of you and the level above is not that big.
Fan Fu was walking along the passage in confusion.
But after taking a few steps, he felt his head suddenly become dizzy, and the colors in front of him began to overlap rapidly.
Crack.
Take a step forward.
All the overlapping colors disappeared, and the dizzying feeling disappeared.
When the line of sight is clear, you can still see the B6 floor just now.
Wherever you look, there are lush green fields and Qiongqiong Creek flowing through the woods.
In the distance, a vast mountain towers into the sky, surrounded by mist.
This is obviously that place.
Kirishima? !
“I”
Before Fan Fu could say anything, his eyes were spinning again.
However, the dizziness felt this time was not as obvious as before. When he could see again, he had already arrived in front of a small village.
Dozens of figures were standing not far away, discussing intensely.
Materials are flying all over the sky, turning into a hut from time to time, and forming another kind of terrain from time to time.
It is like a scene that can only be seen in a dream, it is so wonderful.
"Hey, Master Fan is here?"
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Fan Fuzheng turned his head nervously subconsciously.
But I saw Sumo appearing at an unknown time, standing beside me with a smile.
"Lord."
"Relax, your heart rate is already up to 170. If it goes up further, I will have to let you out."
Sumo smiled and nodded slightly in the air.
The surrounding space changed again, and the place where the two stood turned into a warm cafe in the blink of an eye.
Sitting across a round table, two cups of fragrant coffee appeared on the table.
"How about it, are you used to staying in the territory these days?"
Picking up the coffee cup, Somo took a sip.
Rich aroma and silky texture.
Since chip manufacturing started, the virtual world’s computing power has increased significantly.
Compared to before, now even he has to understand it carefully before he can tell the slightest difference from reality.
“Get used to it!”
Fan Fuzheng looked extremely embarrassed and could not sit still.
Facing this method that was like a god and a demon, his mind was already in chaos.
"Don't be nervous, this is a technology similar to virtual reality, everything you see is fake."
Sumo tapped his finger, and the TV in the cafe lit up stand up.
A picture appeared inside, it was Fan Fuzheng who was standing against the wall in the passage.
“Your subconscious has been pulled in by the same frequency wave. You can feel all of this, and you can also control your own perception to a certain extent.”
"Is this so magical?"
Explained from a scientific perspective, it is much easier for modern people to understand.
Fan Fuzheng's eyes suddenly lit up, he picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip.
Hiss.
So hot!
The coffee that went down his throat was a little hot, but when Fan Fuzheng tried to hold back and hinted that it wasn't hot, the feeling disappeared.
"Is this a technology we developed ourselves?"
"No, this was taken from the Blue Star people." Sumo nodded slightly, not telling any lies.
Virtual reality is indeed something that Lu Kuan and others spent hundreds of years working on in their brains.
The algorithm is so sophisticated that ordinary professional doctoral students cannot understand it.
Coupled with the subsequent system upgrades twice, the range of capabilities now is even wider.
If it were not for the computing power limitation of the chipset, it would be no problem to cover an entire territory.
"Blue Star Man" Fan Fuzheng murmured, and couldn't help but think of Walsh he saw on the first floor.
Looking at their poor appearance, they actually have such technology?
No, if you have this technology, why do you still need to exchange people for supplies?
"You came just in time. They are discussing the construction of temporary camps in the first few stages."
"It would be great to have you, Master Fan, participating!"
See it Sumo did not choose to answer Fan Fuzheng's doubts, but cleverly changed the subject.
This is a game between upper-level managers.
The Tianyuan Territory needs a group of veterans with combat experience and a large labor force to quickly expand its combat capabilities and develop the territory, so as to gain an advantage in the chaos that is about to break out.
The same is true for those shelters, which need to sacrifice some profits as soon as possible to restore production capacity.
Only when the shelter has production capacity can a good positive cycle be formed.
Of course, there is a big gap between consumption and production.
If it is not handled well, it will become someone else's wedding dress and be annexed.
It is precisely because of this that Qinggang Shelter does not prevent the Alliance from continuously transfusing blood to the southern suburbs.
Because in their view, this is the alliance itself seeking death.
Give large quantities of scarce materials for development to others in exchange for some useless people.
So what if these people can open up more farmland after spring.
When a real war breaks out, it is not quantity but quality that determines the outcome!
But
No one knows that the population brings more benefits to Tianyuan Territory than just the current one.
After introducing Fan Fuzheng to the crowd and helping him participate in the discussion.
Sumo returned to the coffee shop, his eyelids lowered, and an illusory panel gradually took shape in front of him.
