Chapter 917 Countless Opportunities, the First Villager Shop!

"I am a principled person and very particular.

"Your words are useful and there will be rewards."

Looking at the information sorted out on the table, Chen Shen spoke in a half-baked human language, constantly praising Huanglang's honesty.

In fact, it was also his first time to do this interrogation, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth. The other party seemed to have been brainwashed and was afraid that what he said was not clear enough.

There are so many details that everyone completely believes that even if they are made up, they can't make it so complete, not to mention that after they are finished, they can answer it randomly.

"Professor Lu, do you have anything else to ask him?"

Turning his head to look at Lu Kuan in the corner, Chen Shen asked softly.

The latter was slightly absent-minded, and only reacted when he asked the second time and shook his head.

"Well, someone take him down to rest first. "

Wild Wolf was taken away.

Until the intelligence is verified, he will stay here as a hostage temporarily.

Of course, Wild Wolf himself did not want to leave immediately. The meal a few hours ago made him very comfortable, and he wished he could stay for a few more days.

"In the first year of the Human Union Calendar, Blue Star discovered a space-time singularity that intersects with the extraterrestrial universe, and since then, it has started a continuous output for nearly a hundred years. "

"Due to the outflow of a large number of laborers and the increasing demand for war, the demand for automated product lines naturally began to be valued and developed, and hastily entered a new stage without complete preparation. From the most basic automated acquisition of various resources, to the unmanned operation of various industrial products, and then to most industries being taken over by programs and corresponding intelligent machines. Work that may have required hundreds of people to do can now be completed by only three to five people, with extremely high efficiency. "

"Human society is highly dependent on intelligent networks, and every aspect of life has begun to be inseparable from them. If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war, perhaps a few hundred years later, the Butterfly Universe Blue Star would have embarked on the path of intelligent life development, and social productivity would have increased hundreds or thousands of times. "

When his eyes stopped at the description of intelligent life in the confession of the wild wolf, Su Mo's expression was a little strange.

After the singularity disappeared, the Blue Star at that time did not break out in the imagined turmoil because intelligence was highly concentrated and resources were far from being completely exhausted. Instead, it entered a faster development path because of inexplicable panic.

The results of various intelligent life research began to blow out, and the basic industry research of a hundred years began to emerge like mushrooms after rain. More and more industries no longer needed human intervention, and everything seemed to have entered a new era.

However, it was under such circumstances that no one expected that in the 240th year of the Human Union, there would be a horrific war that affected the entire planet.

Because the resources of the Human Union are highly concentrated, there is no distinction between countries and conflicts of interest. The developing Federation has almost no replacement of weapons, and the most powerful killer is still a large-yield nuclear weapon.

Facing the turbulent rebels , the counterattack of the Human Union seemed a little weak. First, the factory that manufactured intelligent machinery was destroyed, and then the major strongholds were occupied. More and more cities fell and entered a chaotic state of disorder.

In October of the year 240, when the first nuclear weapon fell on the rebels' positions.

In just two months, the blue planet became a sea of ​​war, and most places became ruins. The terrible explosion and radiation killed more than 80% of the human beings, and the intelligent development that had just started was also annihilated.

To be honest, this story sounds a bit clichéd. The banner of the rebels was that intelligent life would eventually lose control and rule over humans, and asked the Human Union to stop continuing to be unmanned.

But the final outcome was a bit unexpected.

"Intelligent machinery did not disappear after the war because of the destruction of infrastructure. Instead, it became the only hope for the survivors. Those pre-war machines that were originally used for various purposes were transformed into killing weapons, and the chaos continued. "

From 240 to 512, nearly three hundred years have passed.

The chaos on Blue Star did not restore order. Instead, the chaos never stopped because of the discovery of more and more pre-war treasures.

Add to that the survival pressure brought by the terrifying mutant monsters caused by radiation, and the increasingly obvious gaps in education and civilization.

Suma now has some understanding of the occasional and inevitable in the development of civilization.

"By the way, the game gave me Zero and arranged for the entire Qinggang City to appear next to the territory. Is it because I chose to continue to develop technology?"

Based on past experience, every choice in the game is not aimless, and there are certain reasons.

Thinking about those pre-war treasures, Su Mo couldn't help but have a fantasy.

If we can dig up some of this unmanned intelligent machinery, Zero will no longer be a simple server, and will directly go the way that Blue Star has not been able to go for hundreds of years.

"It seems that the villagers who work as scavengers in the village have something to do. "

Su Mo turned the page.

He saw Huang Lang's description of the power of the entire Qinggang City.

Its internal structure is complicated, with various factions and groups occupying the few living spaces.

If the game will release these so-called "indigenous people" next, then before the people inside discover the changes and find the village,

"The first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer."

"Let's set a small goal first, and build a defense line near the village of Qinggang City!"

It took only a few seconds to make a judgment. Su Mo opened the game panel and edited a few new tasks to send to Chen Kai.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

As the morning bell rang in the center of the village, the village gradually became lively.

However, there were long queues for washing and rinsing in the past, but today there were suddenly fewer people. Some wealthy villagers even enjoyed a long-lost time alone.

The canteen, which would become the second stop, was also a little deserted. There were no more anxious faces at the window where people usually served food. There were only some people sitting inside eating breakfast slowly.

Looking down from the sky, the General Work Office and the Logistics Department at the back of the village were now full of people, blocking the small road directly to the main street. The guards who were transferred to maintain order were constantly shouting to prevent stampedes.

Dust rolled and fog filled the air.

After only half a day of trial operation and a night of thinking, most people began to react to the superiority of the new system and the good life that hard work might bring.

Those who didn't get the task yesterday, the scavengers of the air force, and even those who had been hungry all night, almost all gathered here today, waiting for the General Work Office to open the door to release tasks to earn money.

Compared with the predators who lived in the sewers and calculated each other in the mouth of the wild wolf, they were like the rising sun in the sky waiting to restore its light and heat, young and full of hope.

Finally, at nine o'clock, the door of the General Work Office opened from the inside.

It was still the seven wooden signs that were put out yesterday, with the exclusive jobs of the other six routes except the scavengers, and the public jobs that everyone in the territory could take.

Because the news had been released in advance, most people had planned and arranged.

Soon, people began to receive the work and leave, and set foot on the post.

It can be noticed that almost everyone's expression when leaving was very happy, and there was no depression and fatigue as imagined when going to work.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

Most people's work on Earth is not a reflection of their self-worth, but a labor behavior that they have to do in order to survive. Those meager rewards, in addition to satisfying the needs of life, cannot make people fall in love with this job from the bottom of their hearts.

But the wasteland is different, at least Hope Village is different.

After distinguishing the routes, the chat channels belonging to different routes have almost never stopped, and there are people discussing and chatting in them all the time.

Those ordinary middle-aged people who have worked hard in the fields for half their lives and would disappear immediately if thrown into the crowd, now only need to shout in the channel "I have been farming for most of my life", and immediately there will be countless newbies who have chosen the farmer route to post, run around, pour tea and water, and humbly ask for skills.

Those academic research dogs who only want to graduate and get a good job now only need to say in the channel: "I went to XX University and studied what major", and they will immediately be regarded as channel bosses and entrusted with important tasks.

There are also those construction workers who are not noticeable at all on the construction site. They are the bottom of the civilized era. They have never enjoyed the gaze of eyes under the spotlight, nor have they enjoyed the trust and admiration of their peers.

But now, in the construction apprentice channel, these workers have been crowned as "gods" by the newbies and have become the mainstay of the route.

A very strange feeling.

It is still working for survival, just like in the civilized era, but what they get is a lot more than the most basic materials.

There is recognition and expectation.

There is a spontaneous impulse to work hard, and there is also incomparable satisfaction at all times.

It is hard to imagine that they have obtained the highest level of needs among Maslow's five levels of needs. Even if these jobs and routes are only based on the lowest level of survival, they now bring the highest level of spiritual pleasure.

After a day, the performance of the villagers did not disappoint.

Almost everyone completed the work perfectly, even exceeded the target, and received the salary.

Even the "Yoyo Fire King" who left in the early morning brought a surprise and submitted the first version of the mass-produced crossbow.

Based on the manufacturing traces left on the crossbow, Su Mo could roughly judge that this was not the inventory that had been made before, but the result of a whole day today.

The speed is very fast and has the potential for mass production.

As for the experience of using it

After trying to shoot a few arrows, Su Mo put it down with great satisfaction.

Because it is the first version of the weapon for everyone, this wooden crossbow named "Wolf Crossbow" is not very powerful, and can basically only deal with some unarmored humans or animals that have not evolved armor.

Especially the bowstring, because there is no natural material such as fiber material or tendon to replace it, the Fire King chose to use the inferior steel wire produced by the territory, and the probability of damage is not small.

But it is undeniable that it has an irreplaceable advantage.

Cheap!

According to the material price given by the current territory logistics department, the ex-factory price of such a wolf crossbow is only three Tianyuan copper coins.

Based on the current income surplus of ordinary people, it only takes ten days to purchase such a lethal long-range weapon.

And its ammunition is very cheap. When the mold is made, the cost of pouring molten iron for a crossbow arrow is only five iron coins.

As long as the iron smelting in the village can continue to reduce costs, the price can continue to drop.

In short, based on the performance of this wolf crossbow, Youyou Fire King successfully obtained the first internal loan in the territory.

Amount: 800 Tianyuan copper coins, loan period: 3 months.

If Su Mo had not been afraid of rashly issuing a large amount of loans and breaking the rules, he would have even invested three to five thousand yuan to hire some people to increase production.

But considering its impact on other people in the territory and the subsequent rule-making.

In the end, the Fire Power King happily took the agreement and left.

According to his plan, the "Fire Power Weapon Shop" will enter the trial operation state tomorrow, and the initial output can be maintained at 5 per day.

After the subsequent customized tools are in place, this output will not only double, but as long as the manufacturing materials are sufficient, it will not be a problem to double it tenfold.

At the same time, this loan also made him taste the sweetness.

The Fire Power King even planned to find someone to continue investing, reduce the impact of materials on weapons, and make a breakthrough in smelting iron ore as soon as possible, and no longer use this inferior steel wire to ruin the reputation.

"Director, are we sure we want to give him the first golden position at the entrance of the village?" Seeing that when Su Mo was holding the wolf crossbow and shooting for the sixteenth time, the bowstring suddenly exploded into two pieces and almost bounced back to hit someone, Chen Shen was shocked and said hurriedly.

"Of course, this is the first commercial entity built by villagers in the territory, and some publicity is necessary."

"But this thing doesn't look reliable at all."

Chen Shen picked up the wolf crossbow and saw the deep marks left by the steel wire rope rebounding and hitting the wood. He wiped the cold sweat from his head with lingering fear.

The territory has not had the first casualty so far, and he doesn't want to see someone use this to lift into the medical center and achieve a breakthrough from zero to one.

"It's okay, isn't there a market only when there is demand?"

"When someone comes up with the idea of ​​improving this steel wire rope and comes to borrow money, won't we solve another problem and gain new development at the same time?"

Su Mo said with a smile.

"You have to do a good job of publicity tomorrow, and it would be best if you can trick more people into coming to you for loans."

"Especially those S-level talents, send some people to stimulate them, I don't believe they can sit still."

"Then I know."

Chen Shen answered vaguely, and the two turned the topic to Qinggang City.

The wild wolf only saw a rough overview in the air. According to the report of the adventure group that went out to explore, Qinggang City has not yet been fully transmitted.

Nowadays, the closer to the territory, the faster the transmission speed. Many buildings that are about to collapse have formed the upper part, and the lower part is still brewing rapidly in the gray fog.

And the farther away from the territory, the slower the transmission speed, and there are still only gray fogs in many places.

"I will take people to take a look tomorrow. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will let Su Deben supervise and handle it. You just need to concentrate on the development and economy of the village."

"And those scavengers, let them not go outside the territory first to avoid unnecessary risks."
