Chapter 368 Captain Hu's Purchase List (1) [Month 5]
After leaving the hardware wholesale market and returning to the rental house.
In the huge depression in his heart, Hu Biao didn't even think about eating lunch; instead, he returned to the computer and took out a small notebook from his trouser pocket.
When Hu Biao opened the notebook, he could immediately see all the contents in it, which were all ghost-like things.
Of course, Hu Biao is not idle, and he will definitely not just scribble in his notebook.
In fact, among the many contents in this notebook are the shopping lists that their Zhongzhou team will need after heading to the doomsday world.
The whole book looks like ghostly drawings, but it is for some confidentiality needs.
For example:
The large door-shaped object with several eggs connected to it and a pipe inserted in it actually represents a high-horsepower tractor.
At the back of the tractor, there are some attached carriages.
The purpose of purchasing such gadgets was entirely out of Hu Biao's need to carry supplies to the doomsday world.
All the supplies, unlike what was said in the article, can be flown over by oneself in a swish, but need to be carried through the portal.
But if you buy a large truck, it is not cheap. The load capacity of a truck is tens or hundreds of tons. How many trucks will it take to pull 3,000 tons of materials?
Therefore, one locomotive pulls many carriages, and that locomotive can come in handy in the doomsday world.
Such an idea seems to be the best choice at present.
I haven’t seen the magical three brothers who are often behind a tractor, dragging a large amount of things in a big bucket, which is a bit scary.
So since the three brothers can do this, they can also use a high-horsepower tractor to drag hundreds of tons of supplies through the portal to the doomsday world at a time.
It's just that in such a process, it's a little slower, less decent, and a little shabby.
In this way, Hu Biao began to write and draw on such a list while biting the tip of his pen.
From time to time, he also pressed an instrument at hand to make it emit some slightly strange female voices. The thing called like this:
"Add 32750 to 635800, add 44432, add~"
Anyway, based on some recent reports from members of the team, we have begun to plan what needs to be adjusted and what needs to be purchased as soon as possible.
What the heck! When I was making plans in the past, it was very easy to make the decision to purchase 3,000 tons with a wave of my hand.
But after I actually bought it, I realized that it was not that easy...
In the first item, Hu Biao put a big check mark on the food purchase item with satisfaction. It was considered that the purchase task of this item was completed.
Among the total of 3,000 tons of supplies this time, a relatively large part is 1,000 tons of grain and food.
The reason is that in the apocalyptic world, if the Zhongzhou tribe's planting goes well, they will produce a large amount of food to meet their own needs.
Hu Biao also strongly requested everyone in the team to purchase so much food at once.
That was because they discovered that after the system had been adjusted and the team was now entering into a fierce competition, their original development plan was too conservative.
What the heck! Other teams’ Doomsday World development levels have reached 5%, but they still can’t even reach single digits.
If we don’t increase the intensity and speed of development and catch up a little bit, even Rexiang won’t be able to take a bite.
And under such expansion, what is the biggest problem? Of course it is the food problem; the natives in the apocalyptic world are very realistic, and as long as they can have enough to eat, they can do anything.
If you can't even fill your stomach, no matter how good you talk, it's all in vain.
Regarding the procurement process of such a thousand tons of grain, it is very easy to solve.
First of all, within the team, Lao Pao’s instant noodle factory directly received an order of 200 tons of ‘King Brand Instant Noodles’.
The only bottom line for this thing is that it can only consume the most undead raw materials, and the final processed price is really relatively cheap.
Specifically, it costs 10,000 yuan per ton, and it cost 2 million here. Even if you buy it, you can use it as a vegetable or as a meal.
A food that is extremely loved by the majority of the natives of the apocalyptic world is finally done.
In addition, I found a relationship with the warehouse manager and bought 50 tons of expired military cans; this stuff was completely sold at the same price; it used to cost dozens of yuan a piece, but now it only costs one or two yuan a piece.
The cost of all 50 tons of cans is not much at all.
After accounting for shipping costs, the total cost was 800,000.
The power of this thing in the apocalyptic world is even greater than that of instant noodles.
A box of cans can make a coolie work hard for you for more than a week while providing food. Can you believe this outrageous thing in the modern world?
In addition to the above two kinds of food, the largest remaining food is a total of 750 tons of grain. This is also the lowest unit price in this purchase and the most difficult to purchase.
Because Hanzi found a friend in charge of the local grain department and successfully purchased 750 tons of expired corn and rice from the grain depot.
At this point in time, these things could only be used to feed pigs in the modern plane.
At a price of only 1,100 per ton, a little over 800,000 is enough to get it.
In other words, Hu Biao and the others spent less than 3.7 million to solve the food procurement problem and completed one-third of the procurement task.
The only troublesome thing is that Hanzi cannot carry such 750 tons of supplies by himself.
Hu Biao arranged for three people, Zhuye, Feifan, and the translator, who were relatively close to the Chinese characters, to go to the city where the Chinese characters were located one day in advance.
The four of them worked together to bring this batch of food over.
After Hu Biao saw the second largest purchase item, he sighed deeply.
The main reason is that the procurement contents of this item are all things needed for the development of industrialization in the apocalyptic world. When buying them, it feels like money is flowing down the drain.
As of now, a large part of it has not been found.
Considering that the current manpower of the Zhongzhou tribe is limited, except for outsiders like them, other indigenous talents are basically non-existent.
Therefore, in terms of industry, Hu Biao and others initially developed five small industries.
Specifically, there are five types: small machinery, small hydropower, small steel, small coal kilns, and small cement.
It can be regarded as replacing the small fertilizers in the five small industries in the modern world with small hydropower. The main reason is that if you want to develop industry, the power of the previous small hydropower station is not even a fraction.
Among them, don't think about the small machines, such as large hydraulic presses, for now, no one will use them even if they are purchased.
Therefore, the contents of this purchase are all old lathes, milling machines, planers, etc., so that the future doomsday world can have certain preliminary machining capabilities.
The premise is that in a mere 15 days, Xi Ling and Bianrou, who were studying manufacturing at the time, trained some makeshift operators.
In terms of chemical fertilizer production, everyone thinks that fertilizers such as urea and ammonium bicarbonate are very rustic.
But if you want to produce these things completely independently, it involves a huge chemical industry category, which is simply not something that the current Zhongzhou tribe can play with.
Instead of trying to forcefully order chemical products, it is better to walk to some hills above the water and transport some bird droppings back.
For example, there is an uninhabited hilltop near Yangshan Mountain. Because it has been home to many waterbirds for a long time, it is said that there is a large amount of guano on it, which can be mined to meet agricultural needs.
The only problem is that this requires some serious ships to continuously transport it back.
The kind of floating island built with bottles, wood, tires and other things is not ugly; even the wooden ones are not very easy to use, they need an iron shell and an engine.
But a boat with an engine needs to burn oil.
With two 20-ton ships, plus 80 tons of diesel and 10 tons of gasoline, these things cost a lot of money.
