Adequate food, clean clothes, and comfortable shelter were all provided by the Legion. He returned to an environment where he could gain dignity and wealth by relying on his professional knowledge, and his traumatized nerves could finally have a place to rest.
Aurora Corps transports huge amounts of goods into or out of North America, which requires a data center to allocate inventory, transportation capacity, distribution and other logistics systems. Otherwise, tens of thousands of goods shipped to thousands of locations in units of tens of thousands of tons would be
It will become a mess.
Logan is engaged in database development and has experience in supercomputing operation and maintenance. He directly became a small supervisor of the Legion's data center in Salt Lake City, and started working with seven or eight subordinates.
The hardware equipment of the data center is ready-made. Although Salt Lake City has also suffered a nuclear bomb, some equipment from the University of Utah and the city government can still be used. The Legion also obtained some hosts and servers from other cities. Problems in this area
Not big.
The data network is a little more miserable. The original system has been destroyed to a great extent. At first glance, it seems quite complete, but there are always various problems in the details. Repairing this network requires a lot of skilled workers.
It's too troublesome, so give up for now.
"Fortunately, we can launch satellites." The data center where Logan is located has erected a large satellite receiving antenna and uses communication satellites to replace wired networks.
The Aurora Corps is currently launching high-intensity communication satellites continuously. Several of the early launches have completed measurement, control and debugging and have entered working status. Regardless of civilian use, they can still be used to serve the military and government agencies.
After the data center was established, logistics personnel all over the country released huge amounts of data. The data was sent to satellites through personal handheld devices, and then transmitted to Logan in Salt Lake City.
After the data from various places are summarized and analyzed by the software, they are projected on a huge virtual screen. Logan's current daily job is to ensure the normal operation of this data processing system. He can see what goods are being processed with just a tap of his finger.
It's so convenient to ship to anywhere.
"It feels great to be in control of the overall situation." Logan leaned back on his office chair with great satisfaction. The data in front of him was the situation in the Western Region of the Brotherhood. The main port is Seattle. In addition, the Legion also has another branch in Washington, DC.
A data center at work.
"Another large container ship docked in Seattle. Most of the more than 10,000 containers are clothes, shoes and hats." Logan could see the customs clearance information refreshing on the screen in front of him. Currently, the Brotherhood of Steel imports the most
It's textiles.
"The big guys in the fraternity are going to make a lot of money." The data in front of Logan could easily be tens of millions of shirts or underwear, or millions of pairs of shoes and socks. He looked at his two hands leaning on his desk.
This is also how his shoes and socks come from.
In addition, freighters also continue to transport various industrial parts and construction materials. These items arrive in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands tons each time, and dozens of large freighters dock in Seattle every day.
Because the port's management and staff have not yet fully recovered, there are now so many cargoes that the port's throughput capacity is approaching its limit.
However, free trade is not really free, because the Legion adopts an agent system, and all goods are only sold to a specific official. If officials want to do business, they must provide benefits to the Legion. For example, several bishops of the Mormon Church provide minerals
In exchange for product quota.
This kind of monopoly business will quickly concentrate wealth into the hands of a few people. Some people will be extremely rich, while most people can only choose to rely on the powerful. This is why Logan laments.
Bang..., while Logan was leisurely watching the data changes, he opened a bottle of Coke at hand - Nuka-Cola, produced by Legion. The color of this drink is very special, as if it emits some kind of fluorescence.
This kind of Coke is considered a high-end product. The Legion itself invested in building a factory in Salt Lake City and hired workers to produce it. The taste is much better than the church's own brand. Logan likes the random slogans on this Coke, such as the bottle in his hand.
It says 'I'm poor, it must be the world's fault.'
Hahaha..., Logan laughed happily. He is in such a good mood every day now, as if he is in heaven.
"Logan, there's something you should probably take a look at." Just when Logan was immersed in the wonderful life, one of his subordinates came up mysteriously.
"What happened?"
"I think there's something wrong with the legion's cargo."
Logan was immediately startled. He sat up straight and looked serious. His job is to ensure the normal operation of the logistics system, and any problems are his responsibility.
The subordinate continued: "I discovered that the Legion is constantly collecting all kinds of supercomputers. Those in universities, research institutions, and government systems are all included.
In addition to supercomputers, the Legion also doesn’t let go of even equipment with average performance. They are very interested in these electronic products, and they buy them by plundering at high prices.”
Before the Wasteland Catastrophe, personal electronic products had become very popular. In terms of technical level, there was a technological gap of more than two or three generations compared to Zhou Qingfeng's real world. Although these things have often lost their effect in the current environment, Zhou Qingfeng still tried his best.
Way to buy them.
Anyway, one piece of clothing can be exchanged for a mobile phone that transcends the times. Why not buy it? Many people have discovered the business opportunities in this and are cooperating with Legion.
"The Legion has purchased many things privately, such as high-energy batteries used in cars and certain heavy-duty trucks. The freighters leaving Seattle recently were all fully loaded with this type of cargo," the subordinate continued.
High-energy batteries are an epoch-making product and a revolutionary technological advancement. Human beings have been working hard in the field of batteries for hundreds of years to obtain them. When trucks with dozens or hundreds of tons can be driven by batteries, the progress of power systems has brought great benefits to society.
Earth-shaking changes.
Zhou Qingfeng doesn't want these good things to be scattered everywhere, so he has the obligation to collect them. Even if he doesn't need them, he won't give them to others.
"Not just high-energy batteries, the Legion actually demolished the Boeing factory in Seattle. Although the factory was almost completely destroyed by the nuclear bomb, the Legion still found a lot of good things from the ruins.
Logan, these are high-tech products that will not be rebuilt in the next ten or twenty years. Isn't there anyone who will stand up to stop this plunder?" The subordinate looked worried and patriotic.
But Logan shook his head and asked, "Who do you think should stand up and stop it?"
The subordinates were speechless….
"The people who sell these things are the high-ranking officials of the Brotherhood. Those rags are of no use to them. And collecting scattered high-tech equipment can also provide a job for the people at the bottom. Why do you want to stop it?"
Logan's words made his subordinate sigh again... The other party obviously knew this, but he just couldn't accept it. Logan raised his arm and said, "Have you seen the suit I'm wearing? I used to wear handmade suits.
, now there is only this kind of machine-made suit, but I am very satisfied with it.
The Brotherhood didn't care about my life or death at all before. Almost all of my colleagues were dead, and no one came to help. It's not easy for me to survive until now, do you understand?
I can live with dignity in the Legion without having to worry about daily accommodation and food. I don’t want to leave the data center now because it’s too dangerous for me outside. Who knows what those villains who only kill people and set fire and have no jobs will
How to treat me?
Whatever the legion wants, let it move away. This is a formal transaction, what's the reason to stop it? I advise you to just take care of yourself, so that you can live a happier life."
The subordinate sighed, "Logan, you are right. But what about America?"
"What does America have to do with you? You have no right to decide its future. You are just a small person, don't take yourself too seriously. Now I am your boss, you have to listen to me and go to work." Logan
Wave your hands, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle.
