Chapter 1107: Wanderer Tavern, Reluctant New Town Residents!

Big surprise?

When Lü Kuan came to the manager's office with a trace of suspicion, the big guy inside did not disappoint him.

"Is this an industrial core?"

Lü Kuan's face was full of amazement, and he was somewhat shocked that the Blue Star had developed such a monster after he left.

This seemingly bulky core.

It is nothing less than a combination of cutting-edge technology and top manufacturing, which fully demonstrates human wisdom.

It is even okay to regard this core as a pre-skill tree for modular technology.

Except for the poor maintainability that cannot be described in words, other conveniences are almost exactly the same.

"When you left, there was no news about the core research and development?"

"Of course not, this is already a product of the next generation." Lü Kuan shook his head honestly, and did not forget to add: "And don't forget, it took a full three hundred years from the time we set out to the time this thing was developed. You can try to go back three hundred years from the modern history of your Earth, and you will understand how I felt after seeing this thing."

Three hundred years before the modern history of the Earth

According to 2000, that is 1700, when the Ming Dynasty was still in power.

After Lu Kuan made this analogy, Su Mo immediately understood the relationship between the core and his era.

It can be said that there is no relationship.

At that time, he didn't know what direction the technology tree was heading, so how could he be specific about such cutting-edge technology? Perhaps even the idea was not completed, and it was only proposed after the technology level was reached step by step.

However, you don't need to know too much to use the industrial core, which is almost the same as the use of modular technology.

You just need to unfold this industrial core, and then invest materials and a large amount of energy according to the requirements above.

It can automatically produce inside and finally output a brand new "nuclear motor".

"It's a pity that our research on nuclear fusion is still in the initial stage. Even if we get the manufactured nuclear motor now, it is estimated that we can't decipher much of the underlying technology."

Let's not talk about the resources needed to produce nuclear motors. Even if you can't find them around the territory, neighbors, and allies, you can go to the company's Hulai City to see if you can buy some.

In comparison, Lu Kuan is more concerned about technical inspiration.

But there is no way. The energy direction of the territory is still accelerating on the "energy stone" technology tree for the time being.

The information inspired by the blood soil is still sealed in the archives.

Although it has not reached the stage of "it is difficult to turn around", according to optimistic estimates.

If you want to self-study on the road of nuclear fusion and eventually develop to the same level as the current energy stone technology.

It will take at least ten years.

Obviously, Tianyuan Territory does not have ten years to develop this technology.

What's more, the technology developed is already owned by others, which is even more unnecessary.

"The current research direction of our territory is still energy stone. After all, this is something unique to us. It is hard to say how much worse its potential will be than nuclear fusion in the future."

After speaking, Su Mo looked at the industrial core on the ground and continued to give instructions.

"I have removed the signal tracking of this core. Now as long as the news is not leaked, no one knows that we have this thing. You will arrange personnel to study it. We need to accumulate the resources it needs as soon as possible to build a nuclear power plant."

"Do you have a project that requires a lot of energy?"

Lu Kuan is not stupid. Seeing Su Mo's reaction, he had already guessed something and showed a serious expression on his face.

"This matter will be kept secret for the time being, but it's not that I can't tell you."

"Well, come with me!"

Originally, he wanted to hide the current super-realistic technology of the B6 layer from Lu Kuan, but after thinking about it, Su Mo decided to tell it.

It's not that it's very uncomfortable to keep this secret in his heart.

It's that the emergence of new cutting-edge technology will give these scientific researchers in the territory a sense of continuous progress.

As for whether they can accept the impact it brings, Su Mo is not worried about this.

Old antiques like Lu Kuan, who have been resurrected from a brain, have strong psychological stress resistance.

Especially after being "poisoned" by the game for so long, it shouldn't be too difficult to accept the portal.

The floating clouds are dispersing.

The cold rain is slightly stopped.

As the first small rain in early winter has passed, the temperature that has dropped to below zero has slightly risen.

Now even at night.

The deserted Qinggang New City is no longer as dead as it was a few days ago, and sporadic wanderers have begun to come out.

Oh, no.

It should be said that the "new city residents" of the Qinggang Shelter.

‘Dear residents of the new city, I am Edmund, the commander of this new city! I am sorry to tell you a bad news. Although the rain has stopped, the winter temperature drop is far from over. The outside temperature is now minus three degrees Celsius. Please do not go out casually to prevent the spread of wind and cold! ’

‘I know this is a very difficult winter. This is the first time we have experienced such a cold test. But please believe that going to the outside world, going to other shelters, and going to any place in this wasteland will not be as safe and warm as Sunny Harbor New City. Please give us some time. The Material Department is trying its best to help everyone prepare cold-resistant supplies, which will be distributed to everyone in time. ’

‘In addition, please do not leave the designated location at will. This is for your safety and the safety of others. In particular, do not go to the west of the city. Our hospital has no extra space to receive patients. ’

The loudspeaker hanging on the lightning wall has begun to make noise, and the annoying voice is repeated over and over again.

For fear that these wanderers will forget their original identity and current situation, Edmund also deliberately emphasized the tone of the residents of the new city and strictly emphasized the distinction between the east and west districts.

On weekdays, wanderers will not be annoyed by this distinction.

After all, it is not only the other party who is uncomfortable to be with the residents of the shelter who have not experienced suffering, but the wanderers themselves also feel extremely aggrieved.

However, now is an extraordinary period.

Not every wanderer is satisfied with his current life, especially the wanderers in the tavern.

"This damn guy, can't he just shut up?"

"How can we get to the West District? The walls there are guards. Do we have to fight our way through?"

"What Qinggang New City is the safest place? I heard that the scattered tribes in the west are distributing cold-resistant supplies for free, including cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, cotton socks, and even cotton gloves."

"We need work, we need pay, and we need supplies to get through this winter, instead of listening to him instilling this meaningless chicken soup for the soul in us through the loudspeaker!"

"Yes, how long do we have to wait to get the supplies? Now there are dozens of people digging in the big pit at the door every day. Who knows if we will be the next one to go in?"

"Protest, no, we have to escape. Even if we escape back to the city's sewers, we are freer than now!"

A group of vagrants who drank too much "horse urine" are a little drunk.

The stimulation of low-quality alcohol, coupled with the recent troubles in life and the hopeless future.

When wandering outside the city, they can still go to the corners of the city to find food every day with full energy.

But after being trapped in this new city, they suddenly found themselves as if they were ‘useless’.

If the other party did not provide them with jobs, they could only stay in the house shivering and wait for the daily relief meal to be distributed.

If the other party provided them with jobs, at best they would have one more relief meal.

Not to mention being full, they could not even eat half full.

How could they survive this winter?

“Are we really going to stay here and wait to die?”

After taking a sip of beer that smelled like earth mixed with mud, a wanderer with only three fingers left on his left hand pounded on the counter with his fist, expressing the thoughts of most people in the tavern.

His name was Adolf.

In the long river of history, this was a name that had been given a lot of great meanings.

For example, a failed art student, and a certain imperial war god.

But in Sunny Harbor New City, in this tavern, he was just an ordinary middle-aged man over 30 years old.

Because he only had three disabled fingers, he had no share in most of the delicate work in the new city.

He was only capable of some physical work.

For example, using manpower to pull a cart to transport construction materials from point A to point B.

This is a job without any future. Even Adolf himself knows that once the new city is built, he will become a useless waste.

But now with the arrival of winter, even this job is gone.

From the day when the light rain began, he has been on the road to unemployment.

And the worse thing is that he has accumulated much less supplies than others.

As for why he can still sit here and drink with other wanderers.

Naturally, it is because

"We need to save ourselves, whether it is to go outside the city or to the wandering tribe in the west."

Taking out a coin with Edmund's head, Adolf slapped it heavily on the counter.

"We can raise funds to sponsor some people to go there to explore intelligence. If the wandering tribe is really so generous and kind, why not go there as soon as possible before this winter comes completely?"

"Is there anything worse than staying here?"

Picking up the glass of inferior beer that was served again, seeing that many people were tempted, Adolf drank a sip.

This job is so easy!

Compared to the heavy physical work, it is as easy as picking up a glass and drinking it in the tavern every day to encourage the scattered tribes.

The reward is much more generous, and you can receive five coins every day.

Buying wine can last a whole night.

Buying relief meals can also have two good meals.

Adolf doesn't care whether the scattered tribe is a liar or has other ulterior motives.

The wanderers are already miserable, and they will only be the bottom of the bottom wherever they go.

Even if they go to the scattered tribe to be slaves, what does it matter?

As long as they can really give everyone a set of cold-proof supplies and provide sufficient food supplies.

Survive until this winter is over, and then take the opportunity to escape.

This is not a difficult thing for the wanderers at all. They have been on the road of being oppressed and then escaping all their lives.

"You make it sound simple, old man. We don't even know where the Yousan tribe is. Do we have to walk there?"

"Yes, it's so cold. If we walk for an hour or so, we'll freeze to death. We might even die on the road."

"It's easy to leave this new city, but it's not easy to return to the new city. I heard that new wanderers are no longer allowed to enter, for fear of bringing infectious diseases!"

"We don't have more precise information. If the other party just deceives us like Qinggang New City, it will be all over."

The homeless people who can sit in the tavern and spend money are not ordinary homeless people who hide in their rooms.

Can stand out among tens of thousands of people.

Earning materials for consumption, they are the best in this group.

Either he has a physical advantage, or he is extremely clever and sees opportunities that ordinary wanderers cannot.

It's not easy to trick these people into coming.

However, Adolf seemed to have expected that these people would say this, and shook his head without any anxiety.

"So, the poor 'bedbugs' we gopher guys call us can only and only deserve to stay in this cage-like Qinggang New City, waiting for death to approach step by step."

"That's fine. I've lived for thirty-five years as an old guy, so I've earned a living."

"After spending all the money I have, in a few days I plan to find someone who doesn't want to cheat."

"It's comfortable, and you don't need to carry me over."

An old wanderer, and an old guy with a disability.

As long as the world has not changed, everyone is almost on the verge of death when they are still on Blue Star.

According to the average age of a wanderer, which is thirty-two years old, he even lived for three more years, which is considered to be 'enough'.

However, these words were a bit harsh to the ears of the strong wanderers in their twenties present.

Indeed, this old guy has lived a long life.

But we haven’t yet?

The world has changed. Before, they never dared to think that they would one day become gophers.

But now, all this is really happening.

If they live a few more years, will they also have the opportunity to own their own house, own their own property, and even hire two beautiful maids like those gophers in the city?

Let them wait to die now, to die in this winter?

"But if you want to go, I also have a road map that I managed to get here. Follow the directions on this map to leave the new city. It only takes about two hours to reach the opponent's outpost. Someone will take you there. I went all the way to the wandering tribes, but I just don’t know how authentic it is.”

"If anyone wants it, two coins, and make sure not to pass it on to anyone else."

Adolf didn't go all out with his words, and even set a price for the free road map.

After living for so many years, he knew very well how vigilant the wanderer was.

As for pie-in-the-sky things, even if they really happen in front of these people.

It will take a lot of time to get them to accept it.

But after using this method of both carrot and stick,

really.

"Old guy, give me one. If you forge it yourself, I won't be able to forgive you."

Seeing a strong wanderer stand up from the crowd, Adolf couldn't help but have a smile on his lips.

That’s it.

The road map costs two coins, and the opponent's reward is five coins.

Tomorrow, I will have money to drink again!
