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 is not worried about any accidents he will encounter.

   Of course, Chu Guang had no plans to make trouble for himself.

   invited Lu Yang to the reception room of the sanatorium. Chu Guang wanted to bring something to entertain him, but when he took out the wine glass, Lu Yang hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

   "I appreciate your kindness! But I'm still on a mission and can't drink."

   "What about the milk?"

   "It's really not necessary. Our armor has reserves of fresh water and liquid food. During the mission, we can only eat our own food. This is discipline."

   "That stool—"

   "No need, it will collapse."

"All right."

   I didn’t expect to encounter disciplined troops in the wasteland.

   Of course, perhaps out of prudence.

  Chu Guang did not insist any longer and put away the things.

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

  Lu Yang nodded.

"No problem at all."

   said, he reached out and lighted on the helmet, the button-sized integrated light at the neckline cast a beam of light on the burning brazier.

   Looking carefully, the light consisted of many light beams as thin as cilia, and soon those "cilia" swayed gently, interweaving a transparent three-dimensional holographic image above the flame.

"Holographic projection?"

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

   Four crawlers nearly 20 meters long, carrying a square platform with a length and width of 50 meters. On the platform are stacked blocks of cuboid modules, which are spliced ​​and stacked like containers. From a distance, they look like jagged Rubik’s cubes or three-dimensional mosaics.

   And the same platform has a total of four, which are distributed in the four corners in a matrix, and are connected by pipelines in the middle, and it seems that they can be separated.

   is not so much a cruiser on land.

   Rather, it is a four-legged fortress!

   "It's grand enough...is there a picture? I mean, that kind of photograph, not this skeleton-like hologram."

  Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

   "Photo? Is there any... I can send it to your VM if you need it."

   "Please send me one!"

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

   Hiding the joy on his face, Chu Guang coughed lightly, looked at Lu Yang with a serious expression and continued.

   "Thank you, you've helped me a lot. Besides, I have a general understanding of your demands. To put it simply...you need a hundred laborers to work on resource collection and material handling, right?"

  Lu Yang nodded seriously.

"Yes, it would be better if there were more people! We need a lot of people to collect car wreckage and other metal waste, drag it to our production workshop to be reheated, remelted, and produce the steel and other alloys we need. Material."

   "As for the technical problems, you don't have to worry about them, our engineers will be responsible for solving them! Your people only need to do some simple work."

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

  Chu Guang asked.

   "What is CR?"

"...I almost forgot, this is it!" Lu Yang patted his head, took out a 100CR banknote from his waist, showed it to Chu Guang, and explained with a smile, "The bonds issued by the company also serve as a Currency, the full name is Credit Points, or CR for short! You can use it to buy anything you want in any Survivor stronghold on the East Coast... as long as they have it."

"In addition, all the caravans from the east coast recognize its value, and you can exchange this note for everything in their hands. A note like this is enough for a company employee for a week's expenses, save some money Two weeks is enough!"

  Chu Guang laughed and joked.

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

   "We don't have a minimum wage, but basic manual labor is the same price. 1CR per hour for 12 hours a day is 12CR, isn't it enough? We will provide your workers with room and board!"

   "This is the Valley Province, not the East Coast. Well, do you have any chips?"

  Lu Yang looked blank.

   "... chips?"

"Yes, this generation of Qingquan City mainly uses this kind of plastic sheet as currency. The businessmen who come here know it. I thought you knew a little bit." After speaking, Chu Guang took out a white chip from his pocket and placed it in Lu. Yang shook slightly in front of him.

The anti-counterfeiting lacquer surface printed on the    chips has not faded even after two centuries, as if it is integrated with the material itself.

  Lu Yang's face was a little embarrassed.

"It's a pity we're not businessmen... Frankly speaking, we're going to the west to carry out a very important mission, which is related to the fate of everyone on this planet. For the sake of the future of civilization, can you be accommodating? As far as I know, the River Valley Province is also within the business scope of the company, and I use my credit score to assure you that these banknotes can be used!"

   "For the future of civilization, it was chewed up a century ago. It's already the 211 year of the Wasteland Era, and nothing has changed."

   put away the chips in his hand, Chu Guang looked at Lu Yang and continued.

"You should always have something to trade, right? Are you all living on the air? Whether it's food, weapons, or production tools and methods, we all need it here. You give me this There is no point in planting pieces of paper. God knows when your caravan on the east coast will pass by us. And what's the use of just being able to use it. Even if 100CR can buy a set of power armor on the east coast, it may not be able to buy it here. The next cow!"

   Even in a civilized society with convenient logistics, the purchasing power of different currencies in different regions is different, not to mention wasteland.

  A caravan arrived here across the actual distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, just to exchange the goods in hand for a pile of paper that can’t be spent locally?

   They are doing business, not express delivery.

   Gotta bring something back!

Lu Yang coughed lightly and said, "...No matter where it is, it is impossible for 100CR 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. Is it right?"

"Very correct!" Chu Guang looked at him with bright eyes and continued, "If you want to hire my people, you have to give them silver and copper coins. If you want silver coins, exchange them for what we need! "

  Lu Yang nodded.

"Understood, this is a reasonable request. But I'm not good at this. I'll ask someone from the logistics department to come over and talk to you about the transaction. He will arrive here tomorrow morning. In addition, if it's convenient, I hope to be here with you. Set up an office to facilitate our timely communication. The scale of this office will not be very large, and the staffing should be only two people, how?"

  Chu Guang nodded happily.

   "That's what I expected!"

   Lu Yang's face finally stretched a smile.

   Communicating with civilized people is always more refreshing than communicating with indigenous people. Although the transaction is a bit of a hassle, it's enough to leave it to the people in the logistics department to give it a headache.

  The Pioneer has no shortage of food and fresh water, and can also produce daily necessities by itself. What is lacking is only mines and electricity. With the labor at work, the problem of the mine has been solved, and now there is one last problem left.

   "...Then it's the guide's business next."

  Chu Guang looked at him and said, "No problem, my people know this area very well. The key is what you are looking for."

Lu Yang: "Controlled fusion fuel rods! Of course, I'm not talking about the kind of fusion cells for power armor, tanks or small workshops, but the helium-3 reserve exceeds 5 kg and the output power is between 100MW and 1GW. The fuel rods that make the Trailblazers move! The fuel rods are a bit of a peculiar type, but our people can recognize them."

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

  Lu Yang nodded confidently.

"Of course, according to our analysis of pre-war map data, there is a carbon dioxide collection station located near the Fifth Ring Road in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. This kind of public facility is very common in densely populated cities. The carbon dioxide in the urban agglomeration, that is, maintaining the so-called carbon balance.”

"The backup generators in the carbon dioxide collection station, the fuel rods are similar in type to ours, but the more troublesome thing is that they are usually not marked on the civilian map separately, but are combined with some high-rise buildings such as office buildings and apartments. At the same time, it is usually located between the 20th and 30th floors, and we can only speculate about its approximate location based on limited information."

   Hearing this, Chu Guang couldn't help interrupting him.

   "Are you sure it hasn't been searched there?"

   "We're not sure, so we need a local guide to work with our marines to find what hasn't been raided."

   paused for a moment, Lu Yang put forward the conditions of exchange.

"If you're lucky enough to find it, we just want the controlled fusion fuel rods there, and as for the other by-products, like long-chain alkanes, alkenes, or things like ketones and esters, you can take whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you take them Use it as firewood, or make it into something else.”

   It shouldn't be burned.

  Chu Guang felt that he should not do that kind of cruel thing.

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

  Chuguang remembered that the old Luca once said that every year a caravan from Boulder City would come to Brown Farm to buy the oil and resin produced by the Kam tree.

   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!"

   held his outstretched right hand and shook it, Chu Guang also had a smile on his face.

   "Happy cooperation!"

  …

   Looking at the captain who came out of the fence, the nervousness of the few marines standing at the north gate finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   Curious glances around them made them feel uncomfortable.

   Have these hillbillies never seen power armor?

  Fortunately, these people were still restrained and did not come up to do anything.

   "It's getting late, let's go back first!" He stopped beside his teammates, Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and said with a smile, "Our people will come tomorrow!"

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Then I won't send you."

  Lu Yang took his subordinates and prepared to leave.

   However, at this moment, the voice of a teammate came from the communication channel.

   "Captain, there are explosions of fire and gunfire to the east of you... I don't have a good view here, but it looks like there is an exchange of fire."

  Lu Yang was slightly taken aback, looked at Chu Guang and asked.

   "You are fighting?"

   Guessing that the big brother they stayed outside saw it, Chu Guang said calmly.

   "You mean east? If that counts as a war, our people are indeed fighting mutants."

   "Mutants?" Lu Yang's face changed slightly, "Are there mutants here?"

"Where isn't there? Those green-skinned guys are everywhere," Chu Guang smiled. "Of course, I'm not sure if the mutants in the River Valley Province are the same as your mutants on the east coast. I heard that deep Green and light green are not the same."

   "No matter what kind they are, they are a bunch of disgusting guys! These dog-like beasts are like tumors, and they can't be killed no matter what. They are the cancer of civilization!"

  Lu Yang gritted his teeth and said, with a look of hatred and hatred on his face, Chu Guang always felt that there was 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 future of civilization."

  Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said.

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

   If he gets involved in the disputes of the local people, troubles will come one after another. He is too experienced in this.

   It’s okay not to get involved in the disputes of the locals.

  Why didn't you say that when you asked us for help?

   "A mutated person can't be considered a human," Chu Guang said patiently, without giving up, "and you are actually helping yourselves by extending a helping hand to us."

  Luyan: "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? I promise you, as long as you solve the troubles of mutants for us, we can support yours. The number of laborers has been doubled...that's two hundred people. Is it a violation of your discipline for a reasonable transaction?"

   Two hundred workers...

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

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

   There are limited-time activities in the closed beta stage, 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 own conscience.

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

   Two hundred people? !

   Are there two hundred people in this survivor settlement? ?

   If you include the outside village, maybe there should be, but what he needs is the able-bodied laborers, not the old and weak women and children.

   But it's also possible that there are still people who didn't come up from the ground.

   After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Lu Yang finally nodded reluctantly.

   "I hope you keep your word."

   With a little more help, their progress will be faster. If he could, he didn't want to waste too much time here. After entering the river valley province, they walked slowly enough!

   "Of course, I am the most trustworthy person!"

When    said this, Chu Guang smiled brightly.

he knows.

  From the moment the man in front of him lowered his head, those mutants who stayed on 76th Street were already dead...
