Compared with the arrogant and unreasonable domineering style of the academy and the staggeringly complicated rules of the foundation, the enterprise is indeed like a clean stream among the three major forces.
But this is also relative.
After all, as a large force at the head, no matter how few rules it has, it cannot be easily compared to the large forces below.
At this moment, Tianyuan temporary dock.
Five huge ships were moored quietly on the river, like majestic behemoths, standing in the sparkling river water, quietly looking down at the world below with that aloof attitude.
The midday sun shines on the boat, reflecting the shimmering golden light, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling.
It is obvious that these ships are not only means of transportation, but also a symbol of corporate strength and majesty.
Hundreds of people gathered around the edge of the pier to look up and chatter about the company's origins.
"I don't know where the boat came from, but it actually came all the way upstream to us. It's really strange!"
"There's nothing strange about this. It's rare, but it's strange. Haven't the academy and the foundation been in contact with us before?"
"Indeed, the Foundation's red spider caravan just left two days ago. You didn't see it when it left. It was eager to stuff our goods under the bed and under the table. Some people even put pickle jars
Move it to the corner of the bed and sleep outside by yourself, hahaha."
"Tsk, tsk, I'm afraid that's a lot of money. It's a pity that these people are gone. Their spending power is so strong."
"It's not okay if I don't leave. I seem to have stayed here for more than a month this time. It's a caravan after all."
"It's okay. Isn't this company connected again? I don't know how many people will come off these five ships to consume."
"Let's take a look at the situation first. If this group of people has strong spending power, I will ask my mother-in-law to set up a food stall when I go back. It will make money."
""
Previously, they only knew from the information disclosed in the territory that the enterprise was a large Blue Star force on par with the academy and the foundation, and in terms of influence alone, it was even vaguely ranked first among the three major forces.
Now I can really see that it is exactly the same as the rumors.
These five large ships are much more impressive than the chariots of the Red Spider Caravan.
Of course, this is also due to the rapid development of light industry in the Tianyuan Territory. According to the latest statistics, the number of large and small vehicles in the territory has exceeded 2,000, and trucks carrying dozens of tons have recently begun to be put into production.
Even if the Red Spider Caravan's chariot looks larger and more advanced, in everyone's eyes it is only a matter of time before it can be built.
Unlike the large ships of the enterprise, one look at the assembly process and know that it will be difficult to achieve in a short time.
On the other side, more than a hundred large and small fishing boats operating on the river also stopped what they were doing and gathered around them out of curiosity.
Thanks to the excavation of river channels and the recent intentional nesting in the territory, the number of fish gathering in the rivers around the territory is increasing day by day.
The source of protein cannot be produced by just a few machines. If you eat too much fake meat, you will inevitably want to eat real meat.
Naturally, the number of fishing boats also increased.
But at this stage, no one has the money to buy a boat, so they have signed an agreement to lease it directly from the factory.
The rent is paid on a weekly basis. If someone can no longer bear the hardship of drifting on the river, he can always come out and replace him.
Surrounded by a crowd of fishing boats, the five corporate ships didn't pay attention at first, just standing upright on the river and waiting.
Based on past experiences, they know that as long as these people can understand the company's logo, it won't be long before someone comes to negotiate.
But what’s surprising is that we haven’t waited yet
When the other party came to negotiate first, chaos arose on the company's ship first.
The silver-white ship in the center.
Captain's interior.
A group of people wearing the standard corporate expedition uniforms gathered in front of the screen, looking at the captured images and data in amazement.
Perhaps because the company has always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile and not publicized to the outside world, most people have little idea of its true strength.
In the general perception of Blue Star people, the academy is always regarded as the most technologically powerful among the three major forces, while the enterprise is regarded as the relatively weak one among the three.
However, the truth is far from that.
Only the three major forces themselves know that although the college's cutting-edge technology is indeed far ahead of the other two, its technological coverage is far from being comparable to that of enterprises.
Taking Qinggang City as an example, 80% of the machines used in the Big and Small Gopher Shelters are produced by companies. They only use the patents of the college and are labeled with the college's label.
In addition, the production model of enterprises is often one city, one enterprise. Even if we encounter an outrageous time travel incident, we can still guarantee most of our industrial strength.
"Oh my God, this must be the most prosperous place we have ever seen along the way."
Savage, the deputy captain of the expedition, opened his eyes wide, his iconic red beard trembling with the rise and fall of his words, and said with a look of amazement.
As soon as the fleet came to a stop, the drone used for exploration took off immediately.
With the support of powerful technology, they can fly unscrupulously on the shore and land, exploring and photographing within fifty kilometers of the surrounding area.
And this range happens to be stuck on the edge of Longteng Village. Under the lens of the drone, the whole picture of the village is vividly displayed.
In the picture, there are many black chimneys reaching into the sky, with thick smoke billowing out from them.
Countless vehicles are as big as ants, busy going back and forth on the road, carrying various supplies.
Although the area of the entire village does not seem large, when you open the comparison scale, it is comparable to many gathering places they saw on the road.
"The area is okay, the construction method looks a bit backward, but the industrial system!"
Captain Ojija also smacked his lips and made a few incoherent comments.
If they are said to be men in their prime in Hu Lai City, then here they are like a newborn baby.
The gap between the two has reached a certain level, and there is no need to compare.
But I have to say that compared to other places, as Savage said, this is the most prosperous place they have seen along the way.
At this moment, several more exclamations sounded in the cabin.
"No, come and take a look at the analysis data. The power method of the ship they drive is so advanced!"
"With such an efficient utilization ratio, what kind of fuel do they use?"
"It's strange that it can be carried on such a small ship, but why does it look so shabby on the outside?"
"The level of external technology and energy supply is at least three hundred years behind!"
Using fusion to obtain energy is nothing new on Blue Star.
A small fuel rod is inserted into the generator to continuously output 500,000 kWh of energy.
But this is only energy output and supply. If you want to use it, you need power conversion.
.
The engine using energy stone is much more convenient than fusion energy in terms of power conversion ratio.
Astonishing pieces of data were captured using detection instruments, and the dozens of expedition members in the cabin suddenly felt a little thirsty.
Such an inconspicuous place uses such high-end goods?
It's quite like visiting a primitive tribe, only to find that the spear in the opponent's hand is actually a super alloy spear.
"It seems we are lucky. This discovery may be rated E-level."
As the leader of the expedition team, Ojija obviously has good business skills and is a good judge of goods.
Looking at the data returned by the drone, he frowned slightly and gave his own evaluation after a while.
As a corporate expedition team, the items or technologies they discover also have an independent set of reward rules.
Starting from level f is the base, and going up are the five levels e, d, c, b, and a.
Each of these five levels is divided into three different levels.
For example, e, e, e level.
At this time, when I heard that this technology could be rated as E-level, a gasp of cold air could be heard in the cabin.
Don't look at it. The E-level is just a small step up from the lowest F-level.
There are currently a total of 120 expedition teams in Hu Lai City. After the sudden changes in the world, the number of people who have received this reward can be counted on both hands.
They took the risk to go upstream this time, but they just had the mentality of accidentally bumping into them, but they didn't expect that they would actually bump into them?
"I'm really lucky. Maybe they have other similar technologies. It would be great if they could get an E-level or E+ level!"
Vice-captain Savage came back to his senses and couldn't help but said excitedly.
As for whether the other party will hand over this technology, this is not within the scope of his consideration.
It’s not that he plans to rob openly, after all, the strict censorship rules in Hu Lai City are not easy to make ends meet.
Once the inspection team catches them snatching technology in the open, their skin will be peeled off even if they don't die.
According to past experience, any gathering place that focuses on industrial development is extremely eager for advanced technology.
Presumably, they only need to leak some technology from their hands to successfully exchange for this new technology.
Furthermore, they are not afraid of the other side's lion asking for more valuable skills.
The world has undergone earth-shaking changes right now.
The dead technology will not appreciate in value even if it is piled up in their hands. Even if it is exchanged for this new technology with an E-level or e+ rated technology, they are extremely willing to do so.
Even as long as this gathering place can show the potential that satisfies them, the expedition team will never be stingy with some common technologies, even if they give some away for free.
The right is to invest in advance to pave the way for the subsequent development of Hu Lai City.
"Take it back. Since you plan to cooperate with the other party, stop prying so unscrupulously."
"Maybe this will become our branch, and we'll have to interact with each other in the future."
Ojija nodded slightly and ordered all the drones just sent to be taken back.
As standard equipment for corporate expedition teams, these little guys are not ordinary items on the market.
Dozens of hummingbird-shaped aircraft screamed and passed by at high altitude, traveling at a speed of nearly 120 kilometers per hour, leaving behind traces of undetectable airflow at an altitude of more than 500 meters.
Even if you look up deliberately, it is difficult to notice that these sesame-sized black spots are moving at high speed.
However, the expedition team did not know this.
At this time, all the drones in the Neng car, about forty kilometers away from the dock, were being monitored and reflected on the screen in front of Sumo.
"Even the company's Thunderbird drone can monitor it, you detection device"
Yehu sat aside and watched in surprise as the light spots moved rapidly on the screen.
He is one of the few people in Qinggang City who knows the goods because he often travels to several nearby cities to catch the autumn wind, and even dares to make plans for the Foundation's caravan.
According to the principle that defense is always easier than offense.
If you want to monitor the Thunderbird drone that comes standard with the adventure team, you must be equipped with at least three generations of detectors.
The cost of a third-generation detector requires at least three tanks of the Red Spider Caravan to purchase it.
I didn't expect that my neighbor, who usually seems to be a quiet person, now even has such good things.
Thinking of this, Xiehu became a little happy again.
Fortunately, he no longer put on airs, and now joined Tianyuan neatly.
Although those idiots in the southern suburbs were usually quite stupid, they were much smarter than him when it came to this kind of hugging.
"It's because they didn't cover it up that I could find these little things."
Sumo didn't turn his head, stared at the screen and replied.
This is of course a modest remark.
There can be no defense around the territory, relying solely on manpower for investigation and defense.
But Longteng Village, which is the most important village, is the industrial lifeline of the territory. How could it be allowed to be investigated by the enemy at will.
Basically, all the technologies that could be piled up were piled up at his command, and all kinds of defense facilities that could be arranged were gathered around for free.
In a sense, the scale of Longteng Village's armed forces is even greater than that of Hope Town and Underground City.
It’s just a third-generation detector.
The one previously seized from the Great Rift Valley Academy base was of the fourth and a half generation, and the cost difference between the two was more than ten times.
The small drone had just approached 20 kilometers away from Longteng Village when it was detected by the detector.
If you don't know that these drones come from companies, and the other party most likely does not have any malicious intentions.
Sumo had already ordered a counterattack to teach these reckless guys a lesson and understand the consequences of exploring without the owner's consent.
"They took it back on their own initiative. They must have detected the value of our cooperation."
Yehu was not stupid. He heard that Sumo didn't want to continue talking, so he changed the subject with a smile.
He had just joined, so asking these things rashly would seem careless.
When he gains Soma's trust in the future, he will naturally know everything he should know.
"Speaking of which, you seem to be very familiar with the company's cooperation model?"
"That's right, I almost led someone to rob him before, and I also led someone to visit the company's expedition team."
He almost let it slip, but Yehu laughed repeatedly and changed his words.
When I was young, I was not afraid of anything. No matter where the power came from, I would dare to test it when my brain got hot.
Now that I have seen more, I also understand the possible consequences of reckless actions.
"As long as you can make the company feel that you are worthy of cooperation, it will be a good opportunity to fall into the sky. This group of people may even give you a large amount of materials and technology for free as an investment."
"But generally speaking, companies will have three cooperation models based on different potentials."
Liehu clasped his fingers and began to speak clearly and logically.
