Chapter 710 Second visit to Hope City, Baoyu Heavy Industry!
It is June 12, the eighth year of the last calendar year, and there are only three days left before the start of the summer harvest.
I found that the basic business of Zizai Liangfang was completely on track and no management was needed.
And the materials for the Daily War Armor were not in place, and no work could continue.
Sumo no longer wanted to stay and kill time, so he asked for a day off for the first time. After breakfast, he was ready to go to the city.
It has been less than half a month since I arrived in Tianyuan Territory.
The last time he went to the city, he only came and left in a hurry. He didn't get to know what this city, which was ranked among the top ten in the wasteland, really had to do with it.
This time, I went to the city to find someone to customize a harvester specially designed to deal with Spark 3, so I had time to visit Hope City.
"Xiaojuan, do you want to go to the city?"
"Ah?" Huang Xiaojuan, who was still washing the iron pot, heard this unexpectedly and was immediately startled.
"Brother Zong, are you going to the city?"
"Well, I'm going to the city to do some errands. It just so happens that we've been in the territory for so long and haven't had a good stroll yet."
After promising his original body to take good care of Huang Xiaojuan, Su Mo didn't want to fool around with her.
soon.
As Huang Xiaojuan ran to the room with joy and started packing her clothes, before nine o'clock, the two of them had everything ready, locked the door and were ready to go.
"Hey, Youzong, are you going to the city?"
Seeing the two of them going out, Wang Qian, who was lying in the yard basking in the sun, stood up and asked pretending to be curious.
"Well, I've been in the territory for so long and I haven't gone shopping yet. I just have some free time today."
"Yes, I really should go shopping. I hope the city is much grander than the small Sangtian Town." He smiled and exchanged a few words.
Until he watched the two figures slowly go away and completely disappeared from sight.
Wang Qian stood up lazily and took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket.
"The target goes to Hope City and sends four people to follow him."
"In addition, if the inspection team follows, please remember not to conflict with them and just keep a good distance."
After saying that, just when he heard the reply from the intercom, Wang Qian lay down lazily like a deflated ball.
"Captain, the sealed team requires our personal protection. We are here now"
A team member holding a broom approached, hesitating a little.
"What are you protecting?" Wang Qian waved his hands helplessly and changed into a comfortable posture:
"This Su Youzong flies to and from get off work every day. It's not like you've never seen someone parkour in an unfinished building. He's very powerful."
"Besides, now that the inspector is following you, are you still worried that something will happen?"
"Ke Yuren and Chen's side."
"Okay, leave these two alone. As long as the inspectors are here, even if you give them a thousand or ten thousand courages, they won't dare to do anything."
"Besides, don't look at Su Youzong being stupid. In fact, people know it. The identities of all of us, including us, have probably been figured out a long time ago."
"Ah? We've been figured out? No way?"
Too lazy to answer the team members' questions, Wang Qian paused as he watched Oreo jump out of the wall and disappear into the depths of the alley, with an elusive look on his face.
At first, when he first received the mission from Feng Tianmin, he was a little strange.
These people, from the Northern War Zone, have managed to lurk in Hope City over the years.
The purpose is to have the ability to counterattack at critical moments.
But this time, for the safety of Su Youzong, Feng Tianmin directly asked everyone to come out, even if he risked being exposed, he would protect it to the death.
This abnormality directly shows that in Feng Tianmin's eyes, Su Youzong may be more important than the entire Hope City.
What is this concept?
Wang Qian couldn't figure it out at first.
But as time went on, in the entire Tianyuan territory, all the five forces in the Tianyuan territory, except for the seven-day Sifang of the Academy of Sciences, began to follow Sumo.
The fact forced him to think carefully about what kind of charm Su Youzong had that deserved the territory's attention.
"Hello, there are two of us. Let's go to the XC area, right? It's four o'clock."
Get in a capable car.
In Huang Xiaojuan's distressed eyes, Sumo generously opened the game panel and turned over the points.
Things are different now. He is no longer the poor man who only had a few hundred points left and wanted to break a penny in half to spend it.
When he asked for leave from Zhang Bowen in the morning, he used his status as a shareholder of Zizai Liangfang to withdraw 20,000 points of dividends in advance.
Even if it takes 15,000 points to pay for the harvesting machine later.
The remaining five thousand points are enough for him not to worry about these small expenses anymore.
Soon, after the car was filled with people, we wandered onto the road to Hope City and headed straight to the XC area.
And this time, Sumo finally had the leisure to take a good look at this strange yet familiar city.
According to the history of the development of the territory.
Four years in the wasteland, under the influence of the horrific earthquake that affected the entire New World.
In the Tianyuan territory, not only have the mountains and rivers undergone earth-shaking changes, with more than a dozen earth-rock mountains appearing, but even the rivers have expanded from just two or three before to more than twenty now.
Correspondingly, the large-scale Hope County was turned into ruins almost overnight.
In order to cope with similar disasters in the future, and to better adapt to the rhythm of the wasteland.
Therefore, the Hope City that can be seen now is not an expansion from the original Hope Village and Hope Town.
Instead, the territory was re-selected and a new city was re-planned in July of the fourth year of the last calendar year.
Today, the terrain of Hope City is scattered and divided into four regions: east, west, north and south.
Within these areas, they are strictly divided according to disaster resistance levels to ensure stronger disaster resistance from the inside to the outside.
For example, the West District, which is now accessible by car, is mainly home to some basic factories and livelihood buildings, and is the outermost part of Hope City.
Ordinary citizens generally live here, which is the cheapest and most prosperous living area.
Going inward, we reach the two northeastern districts, which are the core areas of the territory.
The main scientific research institutions of the territory are stationed in the North District, mainly the Academy of Sciences, with dozens of research institutions radiating outwards.
The territory's precision manufacturing industry is stationed in the East District. Led by the four major companies, hundreds of companies produce a large number of high-tech products for export.
Outside these two areas, ordinary people can go in and take a look.
But similarly, if you go inside, you either have to have a high-price status, or you have to have a pass.
As for the last Southern District, it is the famous "Rich District" in Hope City.
There are basically no buildings higher than three floors in this area, and there are all kinds of small buildings and villas lined up in rows.
It is said to be part of the city, but in fact this eastern district is not open to ordinary people at all.
If you want to enter, you must have more than five million trading points, or you must be a core level figure in the territory.
In the information Sumo obtained, there was basically no introduction to the Southern District.
"Wow, this Hope City is much more prosperous than Qingguo Territory, with so many tall buildings!"
Before entering the West District, Huang Xiaojuan couldn't help but sigh at the outer edge.
The suburbs of Hope City are also the suburbs of the Top 10 cities.
It is far from a small Qingguo territory, or even comparable to Sangtian Town.
Walking on the spacious and clean streets, you can see people everywhere with colorful clothes, rosy and plump skin, and full of energy.
Many capable cars drove in an orderly manner and followed traffic rules, making everything appear to be in order.
Compared with the busy gathering place outside, coming here is like returning to the earth, everything seems friendly and familiar.
After a while, we arrived at the drop-off location and it was noon.
With Huang Xiaojuan in hand, Sumo was not in a hurry to order a harvesting machine, but strolled around the West District, feeling the city's customs and customs.
"Promotion! Freshly baked bread, you can buy a whole loaf for only one yuan!"
"The latest model of portable energy vehicle, the best means of transportation to and from work. It only costs 30 transaction points and you can take it home!"
"For rent! A large room with one bedroom and one living room in Minghua Community, West C District. The monthly rent only costs 300 transaction points. If you are quick, you can get it, but if you are slow, you can get it!"
"Brother, are you looking for a job? I have high-tech jobs here that I can introduce to you. It only requires some agency fees."
"."
There are a lot of people on the street, and there are more advertisements along the way.
Listening to these familiar shouts, Huang Xiaojuan quickened her pace, but Sumo enjoyed it.
The current Hope City has indeed fulfilled his original vision in a sense.
Prosperity, safety and stability.
On the street, Chinese, white, black, brown-eyed, blue-eyed, all kinds of pedestrians came and went.
When it comes to inclusivity, Hope City has done a good job, and no bloody discrimination has occurred.
In the shop signs on both sides of the street, Somo also discovered a full cultural fusion.
Choosing to make Indian curry has improved its own products and incorporated them into pancakes and fruits, forming a new type of food called "Curry Rice Buns". There are many people queuing in front of the door and sales are booming.
The hand-made products combine Japanese and German precision craftsmanship concepts. They set up their small stalls next to the street, attracting many people's attention with their regularity and changing the familiarity of being called a "small workshop" before.
Even the intermediary on the roadside can change three or four accents and languages to promote the product.
Wandering along the road and watching.
The two of them found a nice-looking restaurant by the way and solved the lunch problem.
"Xiaojuan, you go shopping around here first, I'm going to order something for the store."
After leading Huang Xiaojuan to a large shopping mall, Sumo opened the game panel and turned a hundred points with a smile.
Small commodities are also developed in Hope City.
There are hundreds of small shops selling all kinds of goods in this street. Given Huang Xiaojuan's personality, she probably won't get tired of shopping there several times.
really.
"Ah, Brother Zong, how can you spend so much?"
"You can just go and go. We want the city to be so safe, but you're still worried that I'll lose it!"
Looking at the skyrocketing balance in her account, Huang Xiaojuan was already smiling from ear to ear. She just said a few polite words and couldn't help but walk inside.
Until Huang Xiaojuan disappeared into the market.
Only then did Sumo retract his eyes and return to the street.
"Brother, you're new here. Do you want me to introduce you to Hope City?" Seeing Somo looking around, a tall and thin man next to him came over immediately.
"I want to go to Baoyu Heavy Industry, how do I get there?" Sumo had already planned his destination clearly before coming.
The manufacturing industry in Tianyuan Territory is currently divided into three levels.
First, for low-level OEMs, the shop codes are different, and they are basically named according to the shop owner’s preference.
This type of factory is generally privately operated and handcrafted, rarely using machine assistance, and can manufacture some products with low precision requirements according to drawings.
Second, mid-level OEM, this kind of store code is usually named after the town in the territory.
For example, the current Baoyu Heavy Industry is a factory funded by Baoyu County in the territory and established in Hope City. It is mainly responsible for sending workers from the county here for further study, and then bringing advanced technology back to the county for secondary use.
develop.
This type of factory has completely gotten rid of the limitations of low-end manual work and has various production instruments with high technical content.
It is enough to produce some products with low technical content.
Third, advanced OEM.
At this level, there are three companies in Tianyuan territory.
They are Hope Heavy Industry, Tianyuan Heavy Industry, and Technology Precision Industry which is not open to the public.
The former two were funded and constructed by Hope City and Tianyuan City, while the latter was supported by the Academy of Sciences.
These three factories all have top-notch technology, a large number of precision instruments, and highly qualified operators.
But in comparison, their asking price is also quite high, up to five times that of the county-owned factory!
"Baoyu Heavy Industry? The price is not worth it. I recommend you go."
"No, I have to go to this place." Before he could finish his words, Sumo interrupted him directly.
Although the harvester he wants to make is simple, it can still be made at the level of these low-level manual shops.
However, if a large number of cuttings are handed over to these shops, I am afraid that it will have to wait until the year of the monkey to get the finished product.
Summer harvest is around the corner, but there is not much time to wait.
"Two yuan coins, I'll drive you there, do you want to go?"
Seeing that Su Mo had made up his mind, the man stopped trying to persuade him and instead began to engage in the business of soliciting people.
"Can"
Taking out two yuan coins from his pocket, Sumo got on the opponent's three-wheeled vehicle.
The tall, thin man was obviously very experienced.
Soon, I turned around one intersection and passed through alleys and streets.
It only took him about half an hour to take a shortcut and stop the car in front of a large factory.
In the West District, this factory occupies an area of about 2,000 square meters, with a barbed wire fence surrounding it.
Before entering, you can hear a lot of welding, cutting, and grinding sounds coming from inside.
In front of the gate, as soon as Sumo got off the car, staff members standing in front of the factory came to greet him.
"This is Baoyu Heavy Industry. Does this customer need something that we can OEM for?"
"Hey, are you from Zizai Liangfang? Please come in, please come in!"
Seeing the sign hanging on Somo's chest, the staff member tilted his head slightly and told him where Somo was from.
The warm-up meeting the day before yesterday.
Zizailiangfang has been in the limelight, but it has attracted many people's attention to this powerful rising star.
As the nearby Hope City, these factories naturally received the news and knew that such a big company had emerged nearby.
Soon, with this identity alone, Sumo was led to an office in the factory and sat down.
And just as we sat down, the service staff brought us a small fruit plate and a glass of ice-cold sour plum juice.
Not long after.
The office door opened, and a middle-aged man with a general belly and a round forehead opened the door and walked in.
"I, Yan Jianhua, am the business manager of Baoyu Heavy Industry. I heard that your guest wants to build a medium-to-large piece of machinery?"
To get straight to the point, Yan Jianhua had just sat down, then he slightly cupped his hands and pointed to the important point.
Sumo looked this person up and down.
Sure enough, just like the information collected, Baoyu Town has natural geographical advantages and abundant fishery resources. Everyone in the county has a fixed welfare meat quota.
Although Yan Jianhua looks fat, in fact, underneath the fat is muscle, and he is much stronger than ordinary people.
"If your surname is Su, I need to build this thing. How many days will it take to make it?"
Taking out the drawings prepared in his arms, Somo gently placed them on the table and pushed them forward.
Yan Jianhua picked it up and began to browse carefully:
"Well, our Baoyu Heavy Industry ranks among the top three among the county-owned factories. You can rest assured about the speed... It seems that the thing that Boss Su wants to build should be a derivative of the energy stone vehicle, right? Technology is not an issue."
"The casing does not require precision cutting or painting. It only takes us about two days to cut and assemble it. As for the transmission shafts inside, we also have them in stock in the warehouse. As long as the casing comes out, it can be assembled immediately."
"Hey, your machine actually needs 3mm cutting heads. Do you need 258 more?"
"Why, you can't make a 3mm blade? This thing shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Hearing Su Mo's rhetorical question, Yan Jianhua smiled bitterly: "Boss Su, this thing is not difficult. You only need the corresponding machine tool to make it foolproof. But unfortunately, the raw material for making this thing, the first-grade buffer alloy, is just right."
Because of a project at the Academy of Sciences, everyone was transferred away."
"If you are in a hurry, we can buy a second-level buffer alloy, but the cost will have to be 150,000 points."
"So expensive?" Sumo's eyes twitched.
The buffer alloy is the soul of the entire harvester. Only this buffering characteristic can reduce the impact of the cutter head on the wheat straw and preserve the fragile Xinghuo No. 3 wheat as much as possible.
If it were replaced with other alloys, even flexible alloys, it would not be possible to achieve this effect.
"My little knife head only needs two or three kilograms in total. Can you find some other ways for me to do it?"
"Boss Su, I'm not bluffing you. There's really nothing we can do about this." Yan Jianhua shook his head helplessly: "The Academy of Sciences transfer is a military order. Anyone who dares to disobey is violating the territory and will be imprisoned."
"In this case, if you don't rush and wait for ten days, maybe the production capacity here will be available?"
"Ten days?" Hearing this time, Sumo frowned even deeper.
Buffer alloys are used in many places in the territory and have always been supplied in large quantities.
Before coming, Sumo thought that there might be problems, but he didn't expect them to be in this area.
"Looking for Pei Shao?" As soon as this thought arose, Sumo silently dismissed it.
It's okay to go to Pei Shao for high-grade alloys.
If this kind of low-level search causes an accident and prevents the subsequent armor from being produced, it will be considered a loss outweighing the gain.
"Boss Su, how about..." Perhaps seeing Su Mo's hesitation, Yan Jianhua thought for a while and continued: "Every researcher in the Academy of Sciences, including reserve researchers, is allocated a share of research materials."
"They have allocated dozens of tons this time. If you can find an acquaintance as a researcher, it shouldn't be difficult to ask him to give you some evenly?"
Yan Jianhua emphasized the words "looking for an acquaintance."
Obviously, this acquaintance is not an acquaintance of that one, and it is obviously the trading point that cleared the way.
He didn't expect it would be so troublesome. As for the unknown Academy of Sciences, Sumo originally wanted to wait until the armor came out before contacting him.
But right now.
"It seems like this is the only way!"
It has been reviewed and refreshed late. I will send you 800 words directly~
