  Chapter 136 Can that be called labor dispatch? That's a limited time event!   Three power armors remained at the north gate.

As for their Captain Lu Yang, he followed Chu Guang into the outpost.

It can be seen that he is very confident in his own strength, and he does not worry about any accidents he will encounter.

Of course, Chu Guang didn't plan to make trouble for himself.

Lu Yang was invited to the reception room of the nursing home. Chu Guang wanted to entertain him with something, but when he took out the wine glass, Lu Yang waved his hand to stop him.

"I appreciate your kindness! But I am still on my mission and cannot drink alcohol."

"What about the milk?"

"Really No, our armor has reserves of fresh water and liquid food. During the mission, we can only eat our own things. This is discipline."

"That stool--"

"No, I'll sit down."

"Okay."

didn't expect to encounter disciplined troops on the wasteland.

Of course, maybe out of caution.

Chu Guang didn't insist anymore and put his things away.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious about what your SC-500 tracked transport platform looks like, and what does it mean to put it together...Can you satisfy my curiosity?"

Lu Yang nodded.

"Of course no problem."

As he said, he reached out and clicked on the helmet. The button-sized integrated lamp at the neckline cast a beam of rays on the burning brazier. of light.

Looking closely, the rays of light consisted of many beams that were as slender as cilia. Soon those "cilia" swayed gently, intertwining a transparent three-dimensional holographic image above the flame.

"Holographic projection?"

"Yes," Lu Yang nodded, with pride on his face, "This is our pioneer number! Isn't it magnificent?"

Four tracks of nearly 20 meters long carry a square platform with a length of 50 meters each. On the platform are piles of rectangular modules, which are spliced ​​and piled up like containers, looking like an even Rubik’s Cube or a three-dimensional mosaic from a distance.

The same platform has a total of four, distributed in a matrix at the four corners, connected by a pipeline in the middle, which seems to be separable.

It's not so much a cruiser on land.

It's better to say it's a four-legged fortress!    "It's really magnificent... Is there a photo? I mean, that kind of photographic photo, not this kind of skeleton-like holographic image."

Lu Yang froze for a moment, nodded.

"A photo? Is there any... If you need it, I can send it to your VM."

"Please send me one!"

Although Chu Guang was confused about the use of photos, Lu Yang chose a less sensitive photo and passed it to him.

Hiding the joy on his face, Chu Guang coughed slightly, watching Lu Yang with a serious expression and continued.

"Thank you, I have been very helpful. In addition, I understand your request. In short...you need a hundred laborers to do resource collection and material handling, right?"

Lu Yang seriously nodded.

"Yes, it would be better if there were more people! We need a lot of manpower to collect vehicle wrecks and other metal garbage, drag them to our production workshop, re-smelt, and produce The steel and other alloy materials we need."

"As for the technical problems, you don’t have to worry about them, our engineers will take care of them! Your people only need to do some simple tasks."

>

"As remuneration, we are willing to provide food and accommodation for each worker, and pay them an hourly salary of 1CR, which is settled on a daily basis."

asked Chu Guang.

"What is CR?"

"...I almost forgot, this is it!" Lu Yang slapped his head, took out a 100CR banknote from his waist and gave it to Chu Guang showed it and explained with a smile, “The bonds issued by enterprises are also used as currency. The full name is Credit Point, or CR for short! You can use it at any survivor’s stronghold on the Eastern Sea shore to buy what you want. Anything... as long as they have it."

"In addition, all caravans from the Eastern Sea shore recognize its value. You can exchange this banknote for all the goods in their hands. Like this one Banknotes are enough for an employee of an enterprise to spend a week, and it’s enough to save a little for two weeks!"

Chu Guang smiled and jokingly said.

"So the hourly wage of 1CR is the minimum wage of the enterprise?"

"We don't have a minimum wage, but the basic manual labor is at this price, the hourly wage of 1CR A 12-hour work day is 12CR. Isn’t that enough? We will provide food and lodging for your workers!"

"This is a river valley province, not an Eastern Sea shore. Well, you have a bargaining chip. Is it?"

Lu Yang looked blank.

"... a bargaining chip?"

"Yes, this generation in Qingquan City mainly uses this kind of plastic sheet as currency. Businessmen who come here know it, I think you know how much One point." After speaking, Chu Guang took out a white chip from his pocket and shook it lightly in front of Lu Yang.

The anti-counterfeiting lacquer printed on the chip has no trace of fading even after two centuries, as if fuse together with the material itself.

Lu Yang's face was a little embarrassed.

"It's a pity that we are not businessmen... Frankly speaking, we are going to the west to perform a very important task, which is related to the fate of everyone on this planet. It can be seen that we are for the future of civilization For the sake of accommodation, would you like to accommodate? As far as I know, the River Valley Province is also within the business scope of the enterprise. I will use my credit score to guarantee you that these banknotes are all usable!"

" For the sake of the future of civilization, it was chewed up by people a century ago. It is now 211 of the Wasteland Era, and nothing has changed."

Putting away the bargaining chip in his hand, Chu Guang looked at it. Lu Yang continued.

"You should always have something you can trade? Don’t you live by air along the way? Whether it’s food, weapons, or production tools and methods, we all I really need it. You give me this kind of paper. It doesn’t make any sense. God knows when your caravan from the Eastern Sea coast will pass by us. And what's the use for it, even if 100CR can buy a set on the Eastern Sea coast. Power armor may not be able to buy a cow here!"

Even in a civilized society with convenient logistics, the purchasing power of different currencies in different regions is different, even more how is wasteland.

A caravan arrived here over an actual distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, just to exchange the goods in hand for a pile of paper that cannot be spent locally?   They do business, not express delivery.

Go ahead and ship something back!    Lu Yang lightly coughed said: "...No matter where it is, 100CR is impossible to buy a power armor, even if it is scrapped. But I probably understand what you mean, what you need is food, weapons, and production tools. Right?"

"Very correct!" Chu Guang looked at him with piercing eyes and continued, "If you want to hire my people, you have to send them Silver Coin and Copper Coin. I think. If you want Silver Coin, just exchange it with what we need!"

Lu Yang nodded.

"Understood, this is a reasonable request. But I am not good at this. I will ask the logistics department to talk to you about the transaction. He will arrive here tomorrow morning. In addition, if it is convenient , I hope you can set up an office here to facilitate our timely communication. The size of this office will not be very large, and the staffing should be two people, how about it?"

Chu Guang Xinran nodded.

"This is exactly what I expected!"

Lu Yang's face finally stretched out with a smile.

Communicating with civilized people is, after all, much faster than communicating with indigenous people. Although the transaction is a bit more troublesome, you can just throw it to the people in the logistics department to get a headache.

The Pioneer does not lack food and fresh water, and can produce daily necessities by itself. What it lacks is only mine and electricity. With the workers at work, the mine’s problem has been solved, and now there is one last problem left.

"...Then the next thing is for the guide."

Chu Guang looked at him and said: "No problem, my people know this area well, the key is that you want to What are you looking for?"

Lu Yang: "Controllable fusion fuel rods! Of course, I’m not talking about fusion batteries for power armor, tanks, or small workshops, but helium. Three fuel rods with a reserve of more than 5kg and an output power between 100MW and 1GW that can make the Blazer move up! The model of this fuel rod is a bit special, but our people can recognize it."

Chu Guang: "Then do you know where to find this thing."

Lu Yang confidently nodded.

"Of course, according to our analysis of pre-war map data, there is a carbon dioxide collection station near the Fifth Ring Road in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. This kind of public facility is common in densely populated cities, and its main function is to use low The peak period of electricity can absorb the carbon dioxide accumulated in the urban agglomeration, which is to maintain the so-called carbon balance."

"The backup generator in the carbon dioxide collection station, the fuel rod model is similar to ours, but it is more troublesome. Yes, they are usually not separately marked on civil maps, but are combined with some high-rise buildings such as office buildings and apartments, usually located between the 20th and 30th floors. We can only speculate on it based on limited data. The approximate location of his."

Upon hearing this, Chu Guang couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Are you sure there has not been searched there?"

"We are not sure, so we need a local guide to cooperate with our marines to find it has not been searched I passed."

After a pause, Lu Yang offered the terms of the exchange.

"If you are lucky to find it, we only need the controllable fusion fuel rods there. As for other by-products, such as long-chain alkanes, alkenes, or ketones and esters, you can take them at will Let’s go. Whether you use them as firewood or make them into something else."

It shouldn’t be enough if you burn them.

Chu Guang feels that he should not do the kind of reckless waste of natural resources.

This high-quality industrial raw material can be sold even if it is temporarily unavailable. Survivors' strongholds with industrial capabilities like Boulder City should be happy to buy them.

Chu Guang remember that Luca old once said that every year there would be a caravan from Boulder to buy the oil and resin produced by Camu at Brown Farm.

Looking at Lu Yang, Chu Guang nodded.

"No problem."

"I'm glad we reached a consensus, that's all," Lu Yang showed a happy smile on his face and stretched out his right hand." I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Holding his right hand stretched out and shaking it, Chu Guang's face was also smiling.

"Happy cooperation!"

……

Seeing Captain coming out of the wall, several Marines standing nervously at the north gate , Finally relaxed.

The curious sight around them makes them feel uncomfortable.

Have these hillbillies never seen power armor?

Fortunately, these people were restrained and didn't move forward.

"It's late, let's go back first!" Walked to his teammate and stopped, Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and said with a smile, "Tomorrow our people will come again Of!"

Chu Guang nodded.

"Then I won't send you off."

Lu Yang took his men to leave.

But at this moment, the voice of teammates came from the communication channel.

"Captain, there are explosions of fire and gunfire to the east of you... I have a bad view here, but it seems to be an exchange of fire."

Lu Yang was taken aback for a moment. looked towards Chu Guang asked.

"Are you fighting?"

Guessed that the brother they were staying outside saw it, Chu Guang said calmly.

"You mean the east? If that is a war, our people are indeed fighting against mutants."

"Mutants?" Lu Yang's face changed slightly, "Here There are mutants?"

"Where are they? Those green-skinned guys are everywhere," Chu Guang laughed, "Of course, I'm not sure about the mutants in the valley provinces, and you on the shores of the Eastern Sea. Are the mutants the same? I heard that dark green and light green are not the same."

"No matter which one, they are a group of disgusting guys! These wild beasts put on airs It's like a tumor. It can't be killed no matter what. It's the cancer of civilization!" Lu Yang said with gnashing teeth, with an expression of enmity and hatred, Chu Guang always feels that there is a story.

With a move in his heart, Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"Then are you willing to help us solve this trouble? For the sake of a civilized future."

Lu Yang was startled, hesitated for a moment and said.

"This... is not so good, our discipline does not allow us to intervene in the disputes of the locals."

If you intervene in the disputes of the locals, troublesome things will continue. One thing, he is too experienced.

It's okay not to intervene in local disputes.

Why didn’t I see you saying that when I asked us for help?

"Variable races can't be regarded as humans, right?" Chu Guang did not give up, and said patiently, "and if you extend a helping hand to us, you are actually helping yourself."

Lu Yang: "What does this mean..."

Chu Guang: "Think about it, if we have to deal with the harassment of mutants, how can we do our best to help you? You promise that as long as you solve the troubles of mutants for us, we can double the number of laborers that support you...that is, two hundred people. Does a reasonable transaction violate your discipline?"

Two hundred hitters...

It seems that the Alpha0.7 version has to be advanced.

Chu Guang in the heart thought, the new version just opened a new map and sent the players to move bricks. Of course, this is not a "labor dispatch" in name, but a limited time activity in the game.

During the packaging and testing phase, there are limited time activities, and you can get rewards without krypton gold. Where can you find such a conscientious game company?   Chu Guang himself was almost moved by his conscience.

And Lu Yang, who was standing opposite him, was stunned.

Two hundred people? !

Is there two hundred people in this survivor settlement? ?

If you count the village outside, maybe it should be, but what he needs is strong labor, not the old and weak women and children.

But it is also possible that some people have not come up underground.

After weighing the pros and cons in mind, Lu Yang finally barely nodded.

"I hope you keep your promise."

The more people help, and their progress will be faster. If he can, he doesn't want to waste too long here. After entering the section of the road in the valley province, they are already slow enough!   "Of course, I am the most trustworthy person!"

When he said this, Chu Guang smiled very cheerfully.

He knows.

From the moment this man lowered his head, the mutants who stayed on 76th Street were already dead... -   (It’s a little late today, Sorry! I lost my eyes when I looked for typos)
