Military industry is originally the lifeblood of a territory.
No lord would outsource such an important industry to individuals in the territory for control.
Before setting up the Madman Weapons Factory, the Doomsday Madman just wanted to do it on a small scale to see if he could get investment in the territory.
Now with this machine tool, I can still own 10% of the shares of the weapons factory.
Don't think about it.
In the future, the income of weapons factories will exceed that of steel factories, which is just around the corner!
"If you want money, apply with me. If you want people, go directly to post a job."
"Build our production line as soon as possible and produce a batch of weapons first."
After giving the top order, Sumo left with satisfaction.
With the weapons production line that does not rely on games, the territory's combat capabilities will undoubtedly usher in a qualitative change.
Of course, finding the raw materials for bullet production is still a big problem.
However, Su Mo felt that this worry should be unnecessary. After all, as long as Liu Lu took care of Jin Dafa's "future affairs", the two parties would soon be able to establish a solid trading relationship.
No cotton?
nonexistent!
Let's rely on the Pingtan Shelter for some support first. As long as the current shortage of ammunition is over, the specially separated cotton planting areas in the territory will immediately be able to continuously provide manufacturing raw materials.
[Position: Corporate Employee (Madman Weapons Factory)]
[Job details: Kuangren Weapon Factory already has its own production line for manufacturing thermal weapons. It is now urgently recruiting ten skilled workers with relevant machinery manufacturing experience. They will be given favorable treatment and can sign a formal contract.]
[Work remuneration: 22 iron coins/day (salary is adjusted once a month based on the performance of the weapons factory)]
[Contract length: starting from one year]
[Other requirements: No part-time job is allowed during work (except for territory contribution tasks)]
At noon.
On the notice board at the door of the General Work Administration, a line marked "New" attracted the attention of many villagers who came to look for jobs.
"Damn it, am I blinded? Why does the Madman Weapons Factory have a thermal weapons production line?"
"Is it a wrong label? Didn't Lianmeng Steel Factory cooperate with the Fire Weapons Store two days ago to launch the second generation of the powerful series of crossbows?"
"Gan, it's true or not, I just spent a lot of money to buy a powerful wolf crossbow."
"If you want to be fair, even if you can buy a gun, the bullets can't be recovered like crossbow arrows, right?"
"I made up my mind and paid NT$22 a day for a one-year contract. It's so cool!"
"Quickly, sign up for me, I'm going to give it a try."
"."
Doomsday Madman does not restrict specific routes in its recruitment conditions.
certainly.
No restrictions are needed either.
After the route version has been launched for nearly a month, almost all players have discovered its importance.
Whether it's attribute bonuses that can grow, or weird special abilities.
In the future, players with higher route improvements will naturally have a greater chance of survival.
As of the afternoon, about 600 villagers who chose the mechanical apprenticeship route had signed up for the job election.
After conducting interviews one by one, we selected ten villagers who may not be the best, but have down-to-earth personalities and are willing to work hard.
The Madman Weapons Factory, which divided one-third of the area of the Farm Tool Center, was finally no longer the bare headquarters of the Madman in the end, and entered the pre-production stage.
In the next ten days or so, a large amount of materials will be given priority to supply the needs of the weapons factory, and a batch of samples will be produced as quickly as possible.
On the other side, in the supplies department of Hope Village.
Sumo found Shen Ke and asked her to make a simple check and statistics on the expenditure materials and inventory throughout August.
For the Materials Department, which has been spared the big problem of managing task rewards, statistics are no longer as difficult as before. Shen Ke quickly put together the daily statistics of the ledgers and took Sumo there. The underground warehouse where supplies are stored was checked.
"As of August 1st of this month, our total grain inventory still has 345,000 kilograms of food, including 81,000 kilograms of various coarse and fine flours, 42,000 kilograms of rice, 51,500 kilograms of potatoes, 69,500 kilograms of corn, and various wild vegetables. 12,500 kilograms. As well as 40,000 kilograms of dried meat, and 48,500 kilograms of some wasteland specialty plant fruits."
"Based on the current statistics of 560g per capita, these supplies can last about 58 days."
These large and small underground warehouses are all underground shelters expanded from the shelter core.
It is divided into categories and the quantity is easy to count.
After receiving the account book handed over by Shen Ke, Sumo flipped through it while secretly calling for No. 0 to review it.
Soon, after analyzing the scan data of No. 0, the exact answer was given.
No problem, no one who dares to enrich their own pockets has appeared in Tianyuan Territory yet.
Every item of material expenditure is counted in great detail, down to the individual level.
In fact, it is indeed difficult to make such problem-free accounts using manual ledgers.
But being able to reach this point shows that the materials department managed by Shen Ke is indeed strict.
"In addition to food, what about our mineral reserves and other valuable material reserves?"
"There are records, but there are no such detailed records as for food."
Shen Ke immediately gave a definite answer.
"Generally, the General Administration of Work issues tasks for minerals, and then organizes villagers to go mining. Each specific item is reported directly by the General Administration of Work. We make statistics and check the quantities and record them in the database. But those companies in the territory take When using minerals, you get them directly through the logistics office, which reports the accounts about once a week for us to check."
"Currently, because there are no trading channels, important materials are stored in the territory's important materials room and are protected by specialized guards. Therefore, our Materials Department will not audit the items every day. We will record and verify the quantities every ten days or so."
Sumo nodded.
This method is considered a relatively good management model at this stage.
Because there are no external trading partners and the market is relatively closed, it is useless even if someone secretly hides the mined ore.
If everyone eats and lives together, it will be easy for others around them to find out the clues.
In addition, there is no need to think about using some ore to mint Tianyuan coins. Anyone who has this idea and plans to take action will give up on their own as long as they calculate the expenses and rewards of this round.
If you make less, you will not only have to bear the manufacturing cost that is higher than the value of the currency itself, but also risk losing your head at any time. In the end, you will not be able to spend it with peace of mind.
There are a lot of them produced, so "money laundering" is a big problem.
After all, the territory's monetary policy has only been issued for such a short period of time. If we really want to calculate it, it can be as detailed as a person's entire income.
Perhaps in the future, as the territory gradually opens up trading channels with the outside world, the review in this area will be stricter.
But at this stage, there is no problem with the Materials Department’s approach.
"Food is our top priority and every expenditure must be ensured before the next harvest."
"In addition, these other supplies."
After putting down the account book, Sumo was about to let Shen Ke take him to the warehouse where important supplies were stored, when Feng Tianmin, who was currently in charge of border defense, ran over from a distance.
From afar, he shouted loudly:
"Director, there is a group of strangers coming around the territory, and they are being stopped by us!"
"They have a large number of people, very sophisticated weapons, and they also drive several large vehicles."
"Oh? Aborigines?" Su Mo frowned and immediately thought of Pingtan Shelter.
Could it be that last night's actions attracted the attention of the "hunting tiger" and he sent someone to test it?
Or is it that this kid Liu Lu chose to sell out his teammates when he returned to the shelter and honestly confessed his mistake?
its not right.
The soldiers cleaned up the traces of last night's battle for more than two hours.
Zero has analyzed it from many aspects, and no one will be able to trace the direction of the territory in a short period of time.
According to the management regulations of Pingtan Shelter, Liu Lu would have absolutely no chance of surviving if he really dared to admit his mistakes and collaborate with outsiders to murder his companions in the shelter.
What awaits him will be inhuman torture a hundred times more terrifying than the death penalty!
"Yes, they said they were a land caravan from the Foundation. They got lost after the heavy fog came. They wanted to replenish supplies at our place before leaving."
"foundation?"
Sumo looked a little surprised.
According to the recent understanding of Blue Star, the Foundation can be regarded as an old-school organization that spans the entire Blue Star.
They possess a large amount of pre-war technology and production materials, and the products they produce are sold throughout Blue Star, and can be exchanged for various raw materials and valuables.
And their philosophy is relatively decent, mainly recycling pre-war science and technology and eliminating mutant creatures in the wasteland.
They have their own rules and generally do not have disputes with local aborigines.
But if someone dares to bring predatory attention to them, they will definitely be greeted by a terrifying counterattack.
"Since he is from the foundation, then maybe we can try to get in touch with him."
Having seen the machine tools manufactured by Blue Star Technology, Sumo couldn't help but be very interested in the foundation holding pre-war technology.
If we can get some good things from these people, it will be of great help to the future development.
The west side of the territory.
Close to the direction of Qinggang City.
Six vehicles that were as wide as cargo trucks and shaped like spiders were crawling on the ground.
On the surface of the vehicle, there is a hollow gold coin pattern printed on it, with the three characters "Foundation" written in Blue Star language next to it.
Filing out of the vehicle, more than forty humans wearing standard uniforms were standing curiously on the ground, trying to look into the distance through the fog.
Compared with the aboriginal people in Qinggang City, their behavior and posture are very calm, and there is no sign of panic about environmental changes.
Even though there were twelve armed guards standing across from them at this time, this group of people was not afraid at all.
Of course, the source of their confidence is not entirely due to the fund’s name.
Surrounding the vehicle, there were twenty-four humans in black armor standing by.
Compared with the close-fitting Sun Chaser armor, the armor worn by these people is obviously more bulky, somewhat similar to the Hulkbuster armor.
Thick protective plates cover the whole body, and the welding seams in the middle are clearly visible, covering every weak point of human defense.
On the armored arm, two welded machine guns were clearly visible, and the ferocious muzzles emitted a cold light.
This thing is simply a walking tank for close combat. Small-caliber bullets hitting it will hardly leave any marks.
The vigilant soldiers in the distance even doubted that the rifles in their hands could not break through the defense of this thing.
Fortunately, these people don't seem to have any hostility.
The two sides stood far away, looking at each other, but there was no special communication.
"When did the surrounding areas of Qinggang City become like this? It's really strange."
"Not only have there been changes here, but our routes have also changed along the way."
"They still speak the old pre-war language."
"I hope this group of people are not refugees, otherwise it will be difficult for us to rest here."
"Fortunately, judging from the weapons in their hands, they should have basic industrial capabilities."
"I hope."
The caravan members gathered in front of the vehicle were chattering and discussing, and seemed to have some inextricable obsession with resting.
As the captain of the caravan, Sean frowned and repeatedly checked the records about Qinggang City in his hand.
According to the foundation's internal information, Qinggang City is a secondary trading point second only to special grade and first grade.
There is a special kind of moss here, from which a stable neutralizing hormone can be extracted.
This neutralizer has a wide range of uses. When added to any reagent or device that may produce violent reactions, it can greatly reduce the frequency and amplitude of reactions.
Therefore, about once every six months, the foundation's merchant ships will come here to make a purchase, trading in a large amount of neutralizing elements with very low-cost low-end industrial products.
But after this strange fog passed, Blue Star seemed to have changed.
After traveling thousands of kilometers along the way, the terrain on the road has completely changed, and all the topographical signs have disappeared without a trace.
If it weren't for the foundation's special signal towers placed in every city, which could regularly release positioning sources to the surrounding areas, otherwise they wouldn't have known that they had reached the boundaries of Qinggang City.
As for why you didn’t enter Qinggang City to search for the forces recorded in the foundation’s entries, but stopped here to seek help from this group of strangers.
the reason is simple.
The changes caused by the heavy fog have already given Sean some premonitions.
Facing the large forces in Qinggang City, if they are not afraid of the foundation's reputation, the current strength of the caravan cannot absolutely crush this group of people.
There are transaction risks.
This has a clear solution in the hedging manual issued by the foundation.
Don’t take the initiative to enter, don’t take the initiative to contact, look for small forces to repair, and return to the nearest gathering point as soon as possible.
"Captain, there is an external signal wave scanning us."
A man with glasses emerged from the spider-shaped vehicle, pointed in the direction of Tianyuan territory, and said with a slightly interested tone.
"A detection method that mixes a variety of waveforms. If it is allowed to detect, it should be able to collect our basic information and monitor and eavesdrop on our conversations."
"Well, this method is a bit like some kind of antique produced by the academy more than a hundred years ago."
After saying that, the bespectacled man smiled at Sean and said, "Boss, do you need me to give them some perspective? Let the other side know that snooping on others is so rude, but it is a very offensive behavior."
"Need not."
Sean put down the information in his hand and smiled at the fog in front of him.
"Unfamiliar friends, we are the Foundation's fifth-level land caravan from the K-2 area of Blue Star. We have no malicious intentions. We just want to stop and resupply around your tribe and find out what happened recently."
"I don't know, is it convenient?"
