Chapter 27, Take my wallet away
This was the Wasted Cave Club as Denison Henry had never seen it before. He never imagined that such earth-shaking changes would occur after just one month of absence.
He comes from Garbage Town and is a businessman. He was the one who purchased the ore that was once produced by the Huidong Society, and then sold it to Junk Town, where it was initially processed into useful pig iron and then sold.
He had heard before that a group of robbers were targeting the Wasted Dong Society. He originally thought that the Wasted Dong Society was doomed, so he silently prayed for these poor people. By the way, it was a pity that he had lost a cheap resource import place and would make less money.
Unexpectedly, the Wasted Dong Society not only survived, but also received help from the planet's governor.
Isn't this a blessing in disguise?
In Wastedong Society, Henry saw acres of factory buildings and erected smelting furnaces emitting white smoke, which represented the power of industry;
He saw the residential area built next to him, and at meal time, he could see the smoke from the cooking stoves. The quality of food eaten by the residents of Feidongshe was actually better than that of the garbage town where he came from.
He also saw the soldiers standing guard. Those servitors were wearing combat uniforms and bulletproof vests. They had been transformed into mechanical left eyes and glowed with cold blue light. They looked very elite at first glance.
His expression was clearly visible to Patel next to him.
The surprised look of this 'old friend' gave Patel great inner satisfaction.
He really likes to see others surprised. It will make him further confirm from the bottom of his heart that it was the right thing to completely accept the governor and become his subject.
He patted Henry on the shoulder and said: "Don't be in a daze, let's go, there are more good things to see."
Retracting his gaze, Henry turned to Patel: "Are you...the Governor really so generous?"
Patel looked pious: "Yes, and this is just the beginning. I believe that under the rule of the Governor, we will live better and better! To be honest, otherwise you go back and tell your bosses too Said, let them join the governor as soon as possible.”
When this topic was mentioned, Henry calmed down a little: "We were originally under the rule of the governor, and we were also a member of the alliance."
Patel could hear the perfunctory tone.
He was a little disappointed. He really felt that Garbage Town could join in and contribute to the Governor's cause.
Of course, he also knew that his old friend Henry was just an ordinary businessman in Junk Town, and his status was just like that. Garbage Town has a population of over 100,000 and is also a large-scale settlement. The ones who keep their word are people called ‘agents’. Agents, large and small, determine the direction of the entire garbage town.
Henry is just a businessman, and he is still fighting for even the smallest qualification as an agent, so talking in the garbage town does not count.
Patel simply hoped that Henry could go back and persuade the agents.
But it seems that he is indeed naive.
Those agents are making money from raw materials and energy, as well as from scavengers and adventurers. They are so full of food that they can give up so easily.
Unless they have witnessed the majesty of the Governor with their own eyes.
Withdrawing his thoughts on this aspect, Patel put a smile on his face again.
He took Henry and showed him some good things.
That is the alloy plastic steel product produced by the Wastedong Society.
Seeing the neatly stacked plastic steel, Henry was once again stunned.
"This... is alloy plastic steel? Can you make such a thing?"
He really didn't expect it.
When he looked at those smelting furnaces before, he thought that if they could only produce steel, they would be great. He was already thinking that in the future, it would be much more cost-effective to transport the raw materials from Junk Town, have them produced by the Wastedong Society, and then transport them to Fuxing City for sale than reselling mineral resources. What's unexpected is that what Huidongshe produces is not steel, but alloy plastic steel!
The performance of this thing is much better than that of steel! With different formulas, it can not only show strong compressive and tensile strength, but also have strong plasticity.
Judging from the acumen of a businessman, its selling price will of course be higher than steel, but in fact there is a limit to how high it can be. Mainly those manufacturers, whether they use alloy plastic steel to make arms, machine manufacturing, or building materials, many low-end product lines with high demand are very cost-sensitive. If the cost of alloy plastic steel is much higher than that of steel, then people would rather continue to use cheaper steel.
Of course, if there are some alloy plastic steel materials with very special properties, then they will definitely be valuable in some special instruments, such as making better barrels and stronger mechanical structures, and using them in some high value-added production. , and can be sold at particularly high prices.
But even though ordinary alloy plastic steel materials cannot be sold at particularly high prices, as long as there is a reasonable pricing strategy, this thing has no worries about sales.
At the same time, it seems that there are very few forces in the entire wasteland that have the ability to produce alloy plastic steel. Maybe Blackbird Heavy Industry Group has this ability, but their production capacity is not enough for their own consumption. I have never seen them selling this kind of material.
From this perspective, the alloy plastic steel produced by Huidong Society can almost be regarded as a separate business.
In addition to making money, this represents a huge amount of influence.
Denison Henry can’t wait!
"How much do these cost? Sell them to me!" he said, rubbing his hands.
"Don't worry yet." Patel laughed and led Henry to another place.
Here, there are some finished products made of alloy plastic steel - individual armor vests and helmets.
Patel proudly introduced: "Look at these things, the iron tube rifle can only leave a mark when hit!"
After saying that, he was afraid that Henry wouldn't believe it, so he actually took out an iron pipe rifle.
This thing looks simple, but it is a very common firearm in the wasteland. A simple iron pipe with a wooden handle tied to it has the simplest launching device that can fire gunpowder bullets. Since there is no craftsmanship at all, its power is very metaphysical, and its accuracy is even more metaphysical. If you do it well, it may be so-so, but if you do it poorly, it's just a fire stick. Whether you can hit the target or not depends entirely on fate.
There are hundreds of guns in the hands of the Feidong Society, which were seized from the hands of the robbers after the 'Prisoners' were annihilated. The Governor looked down upon these rags and gave them as self-defense weapons.
The armored vest was put on a target. Patel pulled the bolt of the gun and fired more than a dozen bullets at it from a distance of more than ten meters.
After he was done, Henry came up to take a look.
There were still bullet marks, but none of them could penetrate the individual vest. The target behind was shaken a little crookedly, but there was really no damage.
This defense is enough.
Henry even tried it on himself and found that the weight was completely within the acceptable range. Alloy plastic steel can maintain sufficient strength and toughness while ensuring lightweight.
This thing is a big killer in the wasteland. As long as such a set of equipment is provided, the most common iron tube rifle in the wasteland will really become a fire stick.
He could already imagine how enthusiastically these scavengers and adventurers would be enthusiastically sought after by taking this kind of single-soldier vest to the garbage town.
This is all money!
"Stop talking! I'll buy it! Take my wallet away!"
