Recently, the Niuma airship departing from Shuguang City successfully arrived in the eastern part of the Baiyue Strait and established an outpost on the north shore to explore the Baiyue Province."
"There are currently more than 300 residents of Vault 404 stationed at the outpost. The local construction team has used a one-meter-wide trench and a three-meter-high earthen wall to circle the outline of the camp, and in various sections of the wall
Guard towers and machine gun fire points were established to ensure the safety of the camp."
"In addition, the area of activity of the search team formed by the residents of the shelter has been expanded from five kilometers to ten kilometers on the shore, and the "Old Site of Shilong City" adjacent to the coastline has been included in the search scope to look for possible shelters or survivors.
community.”
"Residents of Vault 404 stated in interviews that they will search for survivors and relics of the pre-war era locally, and radiate from the shore outpost to the surrounding areas to restore local civilization and order."
"If all goes well, this will be the first restoration area of the "United Front for Human Renaissance" in Baiyue Province. The managers highly appreciate this and will dispatch the Jungle Corps and the Burning Corps to support local restoration and construction work."
"At the same time, following a unanimous vote of explorers, the outpost was named Chip Harbor."
"The Federation of the Southern Islands, located in the southern seas, sent us a congratulatory message. While extending sincere greetings to the administrators of the alliance, President Mongo of the Federation of the Southern Islands also sincerely expressed the hope that the alliance can build more ports and settlements there.
"Residents of French Potato Port said they will not let down the expectations of their neighbors!"
"·.····Shuguang City TV station will broadcast it for you!"
Just three days after the Presidential Palace of the Southern Islands Federation responded to the telegram from Friesport, the telegram returned to Dawn City along with the returning Niuma airship.
At this moment, people were coming and going in the waiting hall of Shuguang City Railway Station, and the eight o'clock news that morning was playing on the TV hanging in the corner of the hall.
A group of passengers carrying suitcases gathered in front of the TV and watched the announcer's news of the day, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
The Alliance has added another settlement!
And it’s still more than 2,000 kilometers away in Baiyue Province!
Although players have been discussing this matter on the forum for several days, it is still big news to the residents of Dawn City.
Especially those survivors who had just returned from other settlements started gossiping with other travelers around them. "French chips port?"
"Are they the chips sold with Coke?"
"Incredible... Baiyue Province, I remembered correctly that it is a tropical jungle!"
"you've been to?"
"No... I just passed by there on a boat once."
"Good guy, some people have really been to places that far away!" "I was going to Borneo Province to purchase spices and animal skins, intending to transport them to the settlements along the coast of Yunjian Province. If I took the land route, I would have to pass through a large wasteland.
, so we contacted the merchant ships in Silver Moon Bay and took the sea route... In short, merchant ships traveling in the east-west direction will pass through that waterway."
“There is no settlement in such a good location.”
"A settlement? Haha, let alone a settlement, you can't even see a living person there.
"The entire Baiyue Province is an uninhabited land, and the nearest settlement is the southern sea or Haiya Province. Speaking of which, there were some settlements of survivors on the Death Coast before, but since the Torch Church arrived in Haiya Province,
I rarely hear from them."
Upon hearing the name of the Torch Church, many tourists who were originally very interested showed expressions of taboo or even fear on their faces.
Many residents of the Alliance have fled from Jinchuan Province. In particular, some merchants who have done business in Jinchuan Province have seen with their own eyes the countless crimes committed by the Torch Church in various dioceses.
If the average predator is just plain bad, those guys are bad and have a crazy sense of mission. Few people can really understand what they want to do, and by the time they wake up, they have become their
fertilizer.
Baiyue Province is really too close to the Torch Church's sphere of influence.
If the Torch Church plans to take action against Potato Chips Port, it may be too late for the Alliance to support the survivors there. However, despite safety concerns, most merchants are still very optimistic about the economic value behind Potato Chips Port.
of.
I heard that the industrial zones in Shuguang City, Dawn City, and Boulder City have all made a lot of money from the orders of Niu Ma Group. The tank chassis of Factory No. 81 is made by removing the armor plate and welding the robot arm of Jushi Military Industry.
An excavator that excavates earth. Goblin Technology inserted two floats next to the bomb launcher of the -2 attack aircraft, and it became a seaplane that can take off on the sea.
These items are sold well in French Fries Port.
In addition to these large-scale equipment, there are also engineering shovels for digging earth, fishing nets for fishing, oxygen bottles for diving, etc.
And it’s not just these short-term benefits. If the Alliance can open up the maritime trade routes between the east coast and the west coast of Middle-Continent, the economic value behind it cannot be measured in currency!
Currently, there is only one airship flight from Shuguang City to Friesport, operated by Niuma Group. However, the airship-operated route is not very high in terms of capacity or efficiency, and will definitely be replaced by other modes of transportation in the future.
Many active merchants are already thinking about how to open up new trade routes from the Prancing Pony Province in the east or the Luoxia Province in the west.
for example-
Incorporate Oasis IV into the Alliance's rail network.
In this way, the goods produced in Shuguang City Industrial Zone can be loaded at the port of Silver Moon Bay and transported along the west coast of Baiyue Province to the alliance port in Baiyue Strait.
The freight cost of railways and shipping is much smaller than that of airships, and the transportation capacity they can provide is much larger than that of the latter...
While the passengers in the waiting hall were talking a lot, the airship inflatable station located on the outskirts of Shuguang City was also bustling with activity.
A similar situation happened a few days ago.
At that time, the place was crowded with players who bought tickets to go to the new map, and now, a few days later, the place was filled with shouts and shouts of hawkers.
"Take a look, take a look, aquatic products from the Baiyue Strait! Cold chain air transport! Guaranteed freshness!" Not far from the airship unloading point, a player dressed as a fisherman moved a small bench and sat on it to sell, with a
A long row of foam boxes stuffed with ice and seafood.
The pungent fishy smell made passers-by walk around, but there were also many people who just wanted to gather around.
Of course, what the Niuma airship brought back to Dawn City was not only the friendly greetings from the survivors in the southern seas, but also the gifts from the sea and the rare and strange animals on the shore.
Most of the specimens that were caught alive were sent to the zoo in Dawn City or the No. 79 shelter that specializes in studying wasteland species. As for those that were not captured alive or died on the way, they were naturally given to the foodies of Dawn City.
Pulling the second sister Shuangxue, she squeezed to a stall. The little boy Shuangye squatted on the ground curiously, stretched out his index finger and poked the frozen starfish.
"Boss! What is this!"
When he saw a guest coming, the player immediately introduced him enthusiastically.
"Starfish! My brother caught it on a whim!" After hearing this strange-sounding name, Shuang Ye remembered that his uncle always fished on the edge of Linghu Lake, and occasionally distributed the fish he caught to the residents living nearby, so
He raised his head and looked around, but didn't see that person.
"What about uncle, that jerk? Why isn't he here?"
Looking at those big eyes filled with curiosity, the fish seller coughed subtly.
"Well, that guy has gone back to the shelter and won't be able to come out until tomorrow, so he asked me to help him sell it first."
Shuangxue gently tugged on her sister's sleeve and scolded her softly.
"Shuang Ye, don't go around asking about the residents of the shelter. You'll cause trouble for them.
"I'm just curious..."
Shuang Ye puffed up her cheeks and turned away, but she was still very sensible.
The child did not continue to ask, and returned his attention to the starfish, which was the size of a washbasin.
"Is this really edible?"
"Of course! We always let people from the intelligence department try it first, and then we sell it if there is no problem!"
As he said that, the player picked up a starfish that was frozen as hard as a rock, took out a knife and made two strokes on it. "On this position, when it is thawed, use a knife to pull it out. It will be all yellow inside. Dip it in some soy sauce to make it fragrant."
Make a batch! Or make soup!”
"elder sister······"
Facing her sister's longing eyes, Shuangxue made a helpless expression and took out her wallet from her pocket.
"Then... give me one. "Okay! I'll wrap it up for you!"
The player skillfully picked one up from the foam box, weighed it, packed it, and handed it into the hands of the NPC lady in front of him.
"I'll charge you 26 silver!"
26 silver coins is not cheap, but for the residents of Shuguang City who are not under great pressure to survive, there is no problem in buying it for a try.
As early as the beginning of this year, it was impossible to find a job in Dawn City with a monthly salary of less than 1,000 silver coins, let alone working in the Merchant Guild where the income was pretty good.
He counted out 26 silver coins from his wallet and handed it to the stall owner. Looking at Shuang Ye who happily held Starfish in his arms and cheered, Shuang Xue couldn't help but smile and reached out to rub the little guy's head.
"Don't play with the food. Put it away. My sister will go back and make soup for you."
"Well!" Shuangye nodded excitedly, holding his little hands tighter, "I will take good care of Mr. Haixing before I stew him into soup!"
The two of them were planning to go shopping at other stalls to see if there were any other novel gadgets. However, as soon as they took two steps away, they heard a cry from the stall next to the fish-killing stall. "Boss, you are such a fish."
Why is there still a sock in the stomach? The player holding the shoe in his hand also looked puzzled. He scratched the back of his head and threw it in the trash can, and made a casual comment.
"Uh... maybe other fish wear them?" The customers buying seafood around them were shocked. "The fish in the Baiyue Strait still wear socks?
Before the player could say anything, an old man carrying a plastic bag laughed and answered before him. "Yes, at the stall I passed just now, I saw a pair of pants cut out of the fish's belly.
"
The people gathered in front of the stall were amazed and exclaimed that it was unbelievable.
Shuang Ye, who was holding the starfish, had shining eyes, full of curiosity and longing.
"The fish in the sea...are so amazing!"
Shuangxue gently pulled her sister's arm with a subtle expression and led her away from the stall selling aquatic products.
"Let's go look somewhere else."
Just now she thought 26 silver coins was a bit expensive. Now she suddenly felt it was not so expensive anymore...
What is for sale on the open space near the airship inflatable station is not only seafood, but also all kinds of strange underwater salvage items, as well as useless scraps picked up from the old site of Shilong City.
Although the traces of civilization have been completely erased in the Baiyue Province, there are still some unusual things that have survived for various reasons.
These objects are like fossils, recording what happened on that land in the early years of the Wasteland Era. Not only do they have certain research value, but the baptism of time has also given them unusual collection value. Alliance
The scientific expedition team and Camp No. 101 picked a part first, while the remaining part that was not picked was taken to the market and sold by the players.
The average wasteland visitor has little interest in these inedible or usable things. After all, this kind of garbage is everywhere in the wasteland, and it is sold by the kilogram at the scrap collection station.
However, for those extraordinary wastelanders, these garbage in the eyes of ordinary people are nothing special.
For example, those because of the agreement signed between the college and the alliance
Prospectors and researchers who came to Qingquan City under a cooperative research agreement.
In this group of archeology experts
In the eyes of consumers, even if they are the same garbage, garbage picked up in different areas cannot be generalized.
Especially those salvaged from the bottom of the sea.
Considering that the Tianting space station crashed in the southern sea area, the wreckage of the Tianting might be mixed with it! If some aerospace materials related to data loss can be analyzed from it, a paper can be published! Not just those
Knowledgeable experts and some collectors with little knowledge are also full of interest in the salvaged objects.
It is precisely because of this that the stalls selling salvaged goods are even more lively than the stalls selling seafood, packed with customers and onlookers.
Whenever an inconspicuous piece of junk is sold for an outrageous price, it will cause a burst of incredulous exclamations from the crowd. The scene is just like the antique market! A corner of the market.
A tall, thin man stood in front of an inconspicuous stall, picking at a pile of garbage scattered on the stall.
Maybe it's because of the blue coat that marks his status, or maybe it's because of the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looks like a cultural person who knows everything. Maybe he is still serving in the scientific expedition team, so
Behind him were many guys waiting to pick up the leaks.
The guy didn't care that there was a large group of people following behind him, he just kept looking for himself in the stall as if nothing happened.
At this moment, he suddenly frowned, picked up a horseshoe-shaped plastic plate from the stall, played with it with interest for a while, and then looked at the boss behind the stall. "Where did you get this thing from?"
Picked it up?”
Speaking proficiently in Renlian, the player chuckled and said.
"As for the sea area near the port, I don't remember exactly where it is. Why don't you buy it back and find someone to take a look at? What if it's a treasure that fell from the Tianting space station? I think it looks like a spacecraft.
The one who welded the ring was brought back." When they heard that it might be a treasure that fell from the Tianting space station, the collectors following that person suddenly stared straight-eyed.
Especially the researcher in the blue coat, who touched his chin with an undecided look on his face, and directly asked the price without doubting whether it was genuine or not.
"It's interesting... How much does it cost?" the player said cheerfully.
"Looking at your talent, you are a man of culture! I will charge you 1,000 silver coins.
After hearing the offer, the researcher obviously hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and paid for it, buying back the useless piece of junk in front of everyone.
When other players onlookers saw this scene, green light suddenly appeared in their eyes.
Good guy!
A piece of junk can be sold for 1,000 silver coins! This NPC's money is so profitable!
What made them even more incredible was what happened next. Shortly after the researcher in the blue coat walked away, the wealthy NPCs rushed to the stalls like crazy and robbed them.
Can the garbage that fell with the Tianting space station be garbage?
It doesn’t matter whether it’s useful or not, just buy it. Anyway, they don’t need the money. It’s not bad to hang it at home as an ornament to brag to others.
In the blink of an eye, all the salvaged items on the stall were sold out, and the stall owner who was counting the banknotes was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Don’t talk about air tickets this time. I’ve earned the money for a hundred air tickets! “You guys... this is a lie.”
Looking at the sold-out stall not far away, Jiang Xuezhou squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Shi aside and couldn't help but complain.
"No matter how you look at it, that thing just now is just a toilet seat!"
How can you use plastic as a welding ring?
This doesn’t require any professional vision. Do these guys really don’t even have a little bit of basic common sense?
"Ahem, how can this be called a lie? At most it's a bit of cleverness... And it's not arranged by us. Don't always tell us what you said. Even if you are also a resident of the shelter, it's the same.
Distinguish between serious people and non-serious people.”
I didn’t expect to see such old-fashioned methods in the 23rd century. Ye Shi also felt that
He felt a little embarrassed, especially being seen by an outsider, so he coughed and explained. At the corner of the market not far from the two of them, he saw the "researcher" who had previously spent a lot of money to buy the toilet seat quickly took off his clothes.
He retrieved the blue coat that marked his identity as a Vault resident and returned the piece of clothing to its true owner.
Although he didn't know the player, he could guess with his toes that this guy and the stall owner were in the same group! Jiang Xuezhou rolled his eyes at Ye Shi and continued walking forward, circling each stall.
I looked around a lot and couldn't find anything worth buying.
Logically speaking this shouldn't be the case.
With so many scraps salvaged from the bottom of the sea, there couldn't be anything worthy of in-depth study, right? She didn't even expect to dig up any treasure that would impress her mentor and make her write a D-level article.
She is very satisfied with a researcher-level paper.
However, after walking around for a while, he found nothing, and Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"How come there's not one?" Ye Shi glanced at her strangely. "There's not one?"
"How come I haven't seen any of the things that are truly valuable for research?" Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help complaining, "How did you manage to avoid all the valuable research projects?
You’re so lucky, right?”
Hearing this low-pitched complaint, Ye Shi immediately understood what she was complaining about, and then smiled heartily and said, "Oh, that's not normal. Things with real research value have long been picked up by people from our scientific expedition team."
Well, aren’t you wasting your time looking for that one?”
Speaking of which, it seems that Yin Fang was also D-level when he left the academy, right?
And that was all a long time ago. So, that guy should be considered her senior brother.
Jiang Xuezhou stopped and stared blankly at Ye Shi for a long time, his cheeks gradually turning red from white to the color of pig liver. "...Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Looking at Jiang Xuezhou who gritted his teeth for a long time before he could say a word, Ye Shi stared at her with a strange expression for a while. "You didn't ask me... I thought you were here to buy souvenirs."
Jiang Xuezhou glared at him fiercely, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of a reason to blame him. He could only stamp his feet angrily, turned around and walked away.
Continuing shopping is a waste of time.
And there were too many routines here, and she didn't want to stay here any longer.
At the same time, Yin, who was tinkering with the scraps he had just picked up from the Niuma airship in the laboratory, suddenly sneezed without warning.
"Ah sneeze!"
"...Who is scolding me?"
Rubbing his sore nose, Yin Fang let out a grunt, then put aside the insignificant matter, and looked at the fragment lying on the instrument again with bright eyes. It was a piece of nothing but a slap.
wreckage of all sizes.
Its surface has a bright metallic luster, and the shiny surface looks like it has been carefully polished with some kind of polisher.
What is surprising is that no one has polished this fragment. When the players of the Cow Horse found it on the seabed, it looked like this.
At present, Yin Fang cannot determine the specific technology used for this material. He can only analyze the element spectrum and find out that it should be some kind of metal-ceramic composite material used on spacecraft.
This material not only has extremely strong heat resistance and hardness, but also has amazing toughness that is not inferior to steel and resistance to mechanical impact.
If he can continue to dig deeper on this piece of material, based on his experience, he can at least recover a C-level material science technology!
This is not the only treasure that the Niuma airship brought back from the southern seas. There are also a lot of interesting samples in the warehouse waiting for him to ponder.
Yin Fang's eyes were filled with enthusiasm and he kept mumbling.
