Chapter 598 Station Setting
Upon hearing this, all the tech hunters subconsciously sat up straight, showing a different level of importance than they did at the beginning.

After some communication, they almost all recognized Lu Beiyou as one of their own...the proportion was at least over 80%.

The only thing missing.

After all, the other party is not a member of the Tech Hunter.

Although this is also an essential difference.

But to listen to a Silver Card owner's conversation, these details can be completely ignored.

"Mr. Lu, please speak." Romi, the second team leader, spoke.

He could hear a hint of request in the other person's tone.

"Then I won't hide it." Lu Meng smiled, "After entering the border for a few days, everyone should have seen the scenery of Shandi. I wonder what you think..."

"Is it possible for Tech Hunter to set up a relay station in our Flash Land?"

Hearing this, Romi suddenly realized: "Relay station..."

Relay stations are sites set up by technology hunters across the continent for rest and supply. The largest ones also serve as trade, diplomatic and even military fortresses.

Being able to set up a large relay station often means that the technology hunter has control over the local area, or has close cooperation with local forces.

For example, the current headquarters of the Tech Hunters, Black Scratch Town, was once developed from a relay station, and its remains can still be found in the town.

The Depression Lake Town, which they purchased cheaply from the United City, can be considered a large relay station for them to some extent.

Lu Meng mentioned at this time that what was naturally needed was not an ordinary rest stop, but a large relay station like the latter that could establish contact with technology hunters at any time, exchange technology, and facilitate trade procurement.

In the territory of the Shek Kingdom, under the promotion of Bayan, the technology hunters set up a large relay station in the Stan Desert. Lu Meng originally went to one of their branch bases.

It can be said that communication with technology hunters is one of the important factors in promoting the development of the New Deal and allowing the Shek Kingdom to catch up in the field of technology.

Now, excluding the top black technologies such as the research results from the intelligent core, the infrastructure of the swamp and the flash land under Lu Meng's control is still behind that of the Shek Kingdom, so much so that they need to use food exports in exchange for the other party's replacement of obsolete mechanical equipment... Instead of doing this, why not go directly to their superiors - the technology hunters?
Even if the technology hunter can set up a station in the flash land.

It can also solve or at least alleviate the Cult of Embers' demand for mid-range mechanical prostheses...

Romi and Liu Si looked at each other.

To be honest, setting up such a relay station is a big deal, and it is necessary to fully consider the local political, economic, security and location factors.

Or, the area is particularly dangerous and there are many ruins waiting to be explored, which require relay stations to protect, such as the relay stations they set up in the Valley of Vengeance and Stober Gardens, or the relay station in Arak, which was now destroyed by the Insect Lord and turned into a throne.

Otherwise, we have to cooperate with local forces, and they cannot be ordinary forces, but at least the three major countries... There is no hope for the Holy Kingdom, but the remaining Shek Kingdom, United Cities, and Technology Hunters all have stations.

As for the rest, they will also set up some at transportation hubs, which will be much smaller in scale and only used for transit, and require a safe environment.

There are no relics worth exploring in Shandi, and all you can see are endless grasslands and barren mountains. It does meet the requirement of being a transportation hub... But beast disasters were rampant in the past. The technological hunters are powerful but not stupid. They don't want to fight with beaked beasts from time to time, so they never planned to set up a station here.

"Mr. Lu... Your Excellency the Red King, this is not something we can decide." Luo Mi took a sip of the wine on the table. The White Eyebrow Liquor was spicy, but he smiled and said, "But we will definitely bring your suggestions to the headquarters, and we brothers are willing to be your sponsors."

Liu Si on the side nodded and said:
"Although I can't guarantee it 100%...but from my point of view, the probability of headquarters approving it is very high."

It’s different in the past.

Today's Shandi is very different from before. The Great Wall has been erected to block the long-necked beasts and lurking enemies from entering the area, ensuring safety. The wandering tribes are united under the Red King, and the interactive trade support with the swamp has enabled the two places to develop by leaps and bounds.

Construction is also in full swing.

It can be said that the conditions for the technology hunters to set up a relay station here have been fully met.

It is profitable for them too.

The sponsorship that Romi and Lius mentioned is based on this, to help the headquarters to set up a large cooperation station here, such as the Stan Desert Relay Station or the Gray Relay Station.

This is a treatment only available in the three major countries.

——It’s not that the two high-level technology hunter leaders have such a big face.

It’s that they recognize the potential here.

Especially after meeting the Red King, his strength, governance, animal training... and even his knowledge and accomplishments were enough to convince them, as well as the Black Scratch headquarters and even the inner ring bosses behind them.

Both are silver card owners.

As long as the conditions are met, even if there may be internal disagreements, Romi believes that the watchers as a whole will not mind giving them a favor.

It is precisely for this reason that, even though being a sponsor would involve great risks, the two are still willing to help advance the process... maybe it's actually them who are being done a favor?

"That's the best," Lu Meng said with a heartfelt smile, raising his glass: "Thank you both."

For him, once the plan to set up the relay station is established, there will be another short-term benefit that cannot be ignored -

If the technology hunter decides to set up a station.

All the expenses during this period were fully funded by themselves, without requiring any local forces to contribute a penny.

This is the wealth and absolute confidence of the mechanics behind them... Of course, you can also say that from their perspective, this is a manifestation of distrust of outsiders and not wanting anyone to interfere.

They are two sides of one body.

But in this process, when technology hunters build relay stations, they will inevitably have to hire local workers, purchase materials, and spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation... All these things will drive the revenue and profits of the entire industrial chain.

Finally a relay station was built.

It will also bring long-lasting benefits.

It can be said that once the plan to build the relay station is launched, the entire process will be like "windfall", with huge profits... Even if there are some disadvantages, compared with the benefits that can be obtained, the merits definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

But correspondingly, the Black Scratch headquarters will also consider very carefully when deciding to set up a station - it can be said that such benefits cannot be begged for, and local conditions must be met first.

Even if you are a silver card holder, it won’t work. Face can’t be exchanged for so much real money.

This is also the reason why Lu Meng never tried to actively contact the Technology Hunter Headquarters in the past, but instead developed the Flash Land on his own.

When the time is right, just give it a push.

Nature will take its course.
