I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland

About an hour after Rosen entered the high-end private room.

The auction finally officially started.

Holographic projection gathers hundreds of thousands of light points into an image and projects it on the table in front.

The person in charge of the auction was a middle-aged man wearing a mechanical helmet.

He was not at the venue, but in a studio several kilometers away.

The process of placing an order and bidding is simple.

A personal terminal can be used to connect to the LAN of the auction house.

Place bids in the bidding session after the introduction.

Participation is anonymous throughout the process, and each bidder will receive a random code name within the system.

This can prevent a lot of bad things.

It also allows everyone to spend money without any worries.

At the same time, in order to enhance competition, a bidding list was created with a code name.

During the real-time bidding process, the highest bid in the same round will be placed at the top of the system.

After successful bidding, a specialist will conduct capital verification.

Of course, you can also deposit a sum of dark crystals in advance into a mortgage bank opened by one of the twelve committee members.

Directly use the mortgage amount to participate in the deduction after the auction.

This can be regarded as an alternative electronic currency.

Also in the capital verification process, the advantage of spending tens of thousands more Anjing to book a private room comes.

Being in a private room, even capital verification will not be noticed by anyone.

But it would be different in the hall.

Although the auction still has some small measures to deal with this, it cannot completely eliminate hidden dangers.

Therefore, people who intend to bid for more items will choose to open a private room.

It is no accident that Stellar Auction has established a reputation.

If the lot is hijacked within 24 hours of delivery or within 300 kilometers around Jiangcheng.

Unless the opponent leaves no one alive, as long as one person returns to the auction house alive, he can apply for the issuance of a stellar arrest warrant and request the dispatch of a stellar mercenary group to deal with it.

Once upon a time, a small leader of the camp forces hijacked an auctioneer outside Jiangcheng.

Afterwards, he was hit mercilessly by Stellar Auction.

There are many examples like this.

This is where word of mouth comes from.

It's a pity that even if this is achieved, occasional bad hijacking incidents cannot be completely avoided.

Those gangsters who came well prepared would not leave any traces or survivors alive.

Then the investigation of the Stellar Auction would be impossible.

The reason Rosen had no scruples was because he could still rely on the power of the Rampage Oil Group to protect himself on the return trip.

Secondly, he can also choose to put things into the [consciousness space].

As his spiritual cultivation reached the third level, the mysterious space in the sea of ​​consciousness also expanded a lot.

And he has no worries about consumption.

As the champion of the E-class group, just by betting on himself and adding the event bonus, his income can easily exceed tens of millions of dark crystals.

It is normal to have money to spend money, but it is wrong to have no money.

The old god was sitting on the soft and comfortable sofa.

At his feet were several small suitcases filled with source crystals.

In the holographic projection on the table, the host was already introducing it passionately.

The first lot is also known as the appetizer.

Although not as good as those final products, they are often things that have certain advantages.

I saw the host on the projection lifting the curtain.

"First lot!"

"HCG-2063 Gauss Rapid Fire Rifle!"

"It is the first electromagnetic rapid-fire rifle that was approved by the Pan-Asia Federation in 2057 and mass-produced in 2063!"

"Like the classic Type 055 Gauss rifle, it also fires 10g quality bullets. By replacing some accessories, it can be compatible with up to 18g quality bullets."

"In terms of firing rate, the maximum firing speed of HCG-2063 can reach 92 rounds per minute."

"It is a huge improvement compared to the 20 rounds per minute of Type 055."

"Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages."

"Rapid fire can certainly increase firepower, but it also increases the wear and tear on components."

"On average, the electromagnetic components need to be replaced every 650 rounds fired."

"..."

The presentation is the highlight of any auction.

Auction houses that pride themselves on their credibility will try their best to provide impartial presentations.

After all, there are only a few rookies who can participate in the auction.

The melting pot of the apocalypse is itself a sieve.

But in many cases, the photographer still needs to have enough vision and understanding.

There are countless cases that have proven that items purchased through passionate bidding may not be suitable for you.

Rosen squinted his eyes and pondered.

He was not familiar with the HCG-2063 Gauss rapid-fire rifle.

There are only a few vague memories in my mind.

When this rifle was confirmed for mass production, it had not been many years since the Great Destruction.

Therefore, it is not as popular as those old equipment.

Skip the introduction with a high-pitched voice.

After a full two or three minutes, the host announced the quotation and other details.

"This time, our auction house has prepared a total of 70 boxes of HCG-2063 Gauss rapid-fire rifles!"

"Each box contains 30 pcs and 180 sets of replacement electromagnetic components."

"Auction in boxes, the starting price of each box is 68,000 dark crystals!"

"A single price increase must not be less than 500 dark crystals!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a new push to the bidding program in Rosen's terminal.

There are 70 numbered bidding pools.

Each number represents a box of Gauss rifles along with spare components.

This price is really not cheap anymore.

According to the bidding rules, the transaction price can usually reach about twice the starting price.

This means that including components, the cost of a single HCG-2063 is close to 4500 dark crystals.

This price can almost transform two armed Xiaowei No. 1, or a small and medium-sized spider robot.

Whether it's a good deal or not depends on the individual.

There is no doubt about the power of the Gauss Rifle.

Even a 10g mass bullet can penetrate powered armor.

The premise is that the target power armor does not have a nitrogen shield or energy shield.

However, even with a shield, the energy of the protective equipment will be quickly exhausted if it can withstand the strike of a Gauss rifle.

So after much deliberation, Rosen still participated in the bidding.

Finally, at the price of 412,500 dark crystals, I got three boxes of HCG-2063, which can arm two platoons of troops, and there is still a certain amount left to take to the Eight Desolations Realm or the Evil Disaster Realm for use.

Within half a minute after winning the first round, a specialist verified the capital and registered.

The goods will be arranged to the auction house's warehouse or shipped to a location designated by Rosen.

Now Rosen only needs to pay half of it upfront.

The warm-up of the first shot completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

The second lot is a collection of high-quality slaves with different origins and backgrounds.

The number was huge, with a total size of nearly 9,000 people.

This is a very rare act of generosity.

Rosen was intrigued.

He ignored the apricot slaves sold as playthings.

Focus on war slaves and talent slaves.

The average quality of this batch of slaves appearing in Stellar Auction is better than that of Free Paradise.

There are many B+ to A-level technical talents among them.

The types of technologies involved are relatively complex.

Talents in the fields of biology, chemistry and mechanical manufacturing are the most expensive.

Followed by bionic engineering, information hackers and pilots.

In the slave auction, Rosen spent at least 1.5 million Dark Crystals.

Normally, the price of a labor slave is 400~600 dark crystals.

The auction will be conducted in groups, and the prices of each group are different, but they are generally within this range.

The price of high-quality war slaves is three to five times that of labor slaves.

Especially those born from professional soldiers who were captured in factional wars.

They all belong to the category of high-quality war slaves.

Because they generally have E-level enhancements, no matter in terms of physical fitness, survivability or actual combat experience, those recruits cannot compare.

In the wasteland, population has always been a valuable resource.

Except for those predators who gradually turned into cannibals.

In most wars between forces, population itself is also an extremely important prize.

For captured warriors, local forces will choose to accept some of them to supplement war losses.

The rest will be sold as high-level slaves and will not be accepted in full.

The reason is also very simple. It is very expensive to maintain normal military strength.

As long as it can meet the demand for force, it is enough. Raising too many soldiers will easily make logistics cumbersome.

Rosen has no worries about this, at least not yet.

With his current ability to attract money, there is no problem in maintaining a legion of 3,000 to 5,000 people.

It doesn't matter even if this kind of cultivation method is a complete loss.

In his camp, the ratio of retired soldiers to the total population has long been out of balance.

It was almost impossible to feed the soldiers on the produce of the camp.

Unless the current military strength remains unchanged and the total population increases tenfold.

But for Rosen, the relationship of support has always existed.

It's just that he doesn't rely on the productivity and population of the wasteland to feed his army.

It's a different world where he can travel through time and space.

This time he added 420 high-quality war slaves, with a total price of more than 750,000 dark crystals.

1,000 labor slaves, with a basically balanced male-to-female ratio, cost about half a million dark crystals.

Technical slaves are more complicated.

There are 97 people in total, including a B+ brain controller, who has a level of mental power that is different from ordinary people, and the total cost is more than 300,000 dark crystals.

With the addition of this group of talents.

The machinery workshop and the ordnance production line that will be taken over from Ottok in the future can be initially put into operation.

In addition, the drug laboratory in charge of Xiao Yunli and the weapons maintenance and modification workshop in charge of Tang Jing will also receive more manpower.

This is enough for them to shoulder a certain amount of production tasks.

Gradually get rid of the original small workshop model.

If the bidding for slaves hadn't been fierce, Rosen would have wanted to buy more.

He took a sip of the clean water provided at the auction.

The quality of the purified water here is pretty good, much better than the purified water in bars.

The third round of lots includes several sets of special equipment for making coatings.

Rosen did not participate, because there are many workshops in the Iron Tomb Camp that can process this thing.

There was no need for him to be self-sufficient.

If the peripheral supply chain can satisfy it, we should deal with it first. After all, coating is not a high-consumption necessity.

The performance improvement brought by coating is very limited.

And the first thing to be exploded in the battle is the coating.

Leaning gently on the sofa, Rosen narrowed his eyes and patiently participated in the bidding.

…

Time passes minute by minute.

On average, each item takes 10 to 15 minutes to end the bidding.

This makes the normal auction process very lengthy.

Many people chose to leave after taking photos of their favorite items.

There are not many participants like Rosen who are willing to complete the marathon.

As per procedure, the auction will end in the evening.

During this period, the venue can provide paid meals, and filming will be stopped for half an hour every two hours.

The private room is equipped with an oil folding bed and bathroom.

Available for washing and toileting needs.

It was a rare occasion to attend an auction, and Rosen naturally did not intend to miss it.

In addition to participating in the auction, he also had the idea of ​​​​increasing his knowledge.

Fortunately, he has nothing to do today.

He also changed the meeting time with Qi Mu from morning to evening during the banquet last night.

During this period, he intermittently took photos of a lot of useful equipment and supplies.

The T-32 "Turnover" power armor that Rosen is looking forward to will be a popular auction item.

So the appearance is relatively late.

Rosen left a reserve of four to five million dark crystals specifically for bidding on power armor and several subsequent heavy weapons auctions.

Such as the rare plasma bombs and gravity bombs.

There are also a number of L series exoskeletons with excellent performance.

This is a true military exoskeleton, and the style is very close to Noah’s all-inclusive exoskeleton.

It looks like a miniature, compliant version of power armor.

It also has good three-defense capabilities and has reserved interfaces for various components.

The starting price reached 3500 Dark Crystal.

The transaction price is at least 7,000 dark crystals, or even higher.

This high-quality exoskeleton is also an alternative target for many wastelanders.

Looking at the price, this one is worth dozens or twenty of Z2 exoskeletons.

The gap between equipment and equipment is sometimes greater than the gap between people and dogs.

Whether to seek quantity or refinement is the question.

Rosen chose to do both.

The elite troops use heavy-duty power armor as a node and match it with high-quality L1 exoskeleton.

The second-line troops use the medium-sized firepower modified version of the power armor as the node, and match it with the cheap and easy-to-use Z2 and Z3 exoskeletons.

In addition, light power armor, aircraft, and drones are integrated into rangers.

Then mix the three.

This is a preliminary plan in Rosen's mind.

Including this new slave army, he also thought about how to divide the organization.

Winter is coming soon.

He must complete the initial expansion of his territory before the temperature drops off the cliff.

There is no doubt that when he returns from Jiangcheng during this trip, the development level of the camp will surely reach a higher level.

The total population is expected to surpass the Iron Grave Camp.

It's just that due to the imbalance of industrial development, it is definitely not meaningful in terms of background.

In the next stage, the expansion of the territory will slow down.

Because the current strength is enough to meet Rosen's requirements.

Amid his expectations, the much-anticipated Power Armor film finally started filming.

On the holographic projection, there was a hydraulic flat cart next to the host.

The truck body was covered with a tarpaulin, and the outline of the power armor could be vaguely seen.

“The next lot is the most anticipated lot in this auction!”

"T-32 'Turnover' powered armor!"

"There are 32 aircraft to be auctioned this time, and each aircraft will come with two sets of 20CM diameter nuclear fusion cores, but weapon modules are not included!"

"If a single person takes more than 10 photos, the consignor will also receive a matrix system as a gift."

"The starting price is 75,000 dark crystals per frame, and a single price increase must not be less than 2,000 dark crystals."

"Every two is a group and must be packaged for bidding!"

The auction items are not entirely self-operated, and quite a few are commissioned auctions.

Such as these T-32.
