Chapter 923: Crazy Demand, Domestic Demand Explosion!

"Fuck, they're selling long-range weapons. I thought they were machetes, spears, and the like! Firepower is awesome!"

"With this thing in hand, I'm not afraid of mutants.

"Wow, the original price is only four copper coins? Boss, are you sure you won't lose money at this price?"

"If everyone has one of these crossbows, and a team of six people can form a complete firepower coverage, it's too powerful!"

"Unfortunately, the price of this arrow is 5 iron coins, which is still a bit unaffordable."

"Be more confident, maybe a few arrows will go and today's income will go down the drain. ”

The benefit that a long-range weapon brings to humans is a complete change from 0 to 1.

Even though most people no longer lack the courage to fight in close combat, the psychological advantage at a distance is still irreplaceable.

As for the price of ammunition

When the people who had arranged to show their support hadn't asked yet, the villagers who squeezed in in the first wave asked in cooperation.

The Fire King was overjoyed, but his face remained normal as he quickly replied:

"Don't worry, considering everyone's ammunition consumption, I have already greeted the current steel workshop in the village in advance, and also signed a letter of intent with the new steel plant to be established. ”

"Although the cost of a crossbow arrow is five iron coins now, it will definitely decrease as the demand increases in the later period. At the same time, I can guarantee you here.

After using each crossbow arrow, once it is damaged, we will recycle it at 80% of the retained weight, that is, as long as you can bring back all the fragments of the crossbow arrow, you can exchange it for 4 iron coins, or add 1 iron coin to buy a new arrow! "

The words of the Fire King were tongue-twisting and fast.

Many people were still hesitating, but a few villagers who understood had already acted quickly!

"Boss, hurry up, give me a whole gun, and five arrows!"

"Yes, I want one too, no, I want two!"

"I have twelve copper coins here, sell me four, I don't want crossbows!"

Since crossbows can be recycled, one copper coin can ideally shoot 6-8 times.

This price is too good, even if the territory really starts selling guns in the later stage.

I believe that many people will continue to choose to use wolf crossbows in daily life in exchange for more economical costs.

In this case, the production capacity of the Fire Weapon Shop will definitely not keep up with the needs of the villagers at this stage.

If you can stock up a few guns at this time, you may be able to make a fortune as a second-hand dealer.

But unfortunately

Scanning the enthusiastic and excited faces in front of the counter, the Fire King smiled and said something.

"Everyone, I'm sorry. If we want to buy weapons in Tianyuan Territory, we must register, and if we buy again, we must either hand in the damaged weapons or give sufficient reasons. "

"This is the Lord's intention. I hope you won't make it difficult for me."

One person only sells one?

Are you crazy? Don't you want to make money?

At first, the villagers in the front row were a little surprised when they heard the explanation of Youyou Fire King.

But after hearing that this was the Lord's arrangement, these people couldn't help but remain silent.

Weapons bring powerful self-protection capabilities, but they also bring corresponding risks.

Especially in the extremely unstable wasteland environment, once a conflict breaks out between each other, it is easy to turn into a full-scale fight because of the heat of the mind.

"You must abide by the rules after buying. The details of the use of weapons should be announced in the afternoon. You must consider it carefully. If you violate the rules, you will be banned from buying weapons for life at the least, and directly expelled from the territory at the worst."

Youyou Fire King knocked on the counter and looked at the crowd behind who were still trying to squeeze in. The meaning was self-evident.

"I will buy it!"

"I will buy it too!"

"Give me one too. ”

The low price, as long as the surplus of four days of work can buy one, makes this wolf crossbow very cost-effective.

Except for the two people who did not save up three coppers and just came in to watch the fun, the other eight of the first ten people who came in all bought the first batch of "fine" wolf crossbows.

For the sake of word of mouth and reputation, Youyou Firepower King boldly shouted out the slogan of three-month warranty. During this period, if there are any quality problems, they can come and replace them at will without any charge.

Such generous conditions, just when these people left the door, the people behind them squeezed in like crazy, waving banknotes one by one, and looked like they wanted to rush into the store to grab the remaining goods.

Of course, although Youyou Firepower King and his old carpenter father have been working at full capacity to manufacture, there are only 26 in stock after three days.

Just after receiving three batches of customers, the door of the firepower weapon store hung a closing sign.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry. ”

“Our weapon shop can produce about 6-8 weapons per day now. Today’s stock has been sold out. I can only say sorry here for those who didn’t get one. At the same time, I would like to advertise again. The weapon shop is currently recruiting apprentices, signing a formal work agreement, and the daily salary is 25 iron coins a day. ”

“If you are willing to join, you can go to the General Work Department to check the specific requirements.”

The apology of the Fire King Youyou did not satisfy everyone, but the generous conditions he offered later made many villagers who chose the handicraft enthusiast route shine.

Not to mention the generous income that broke through the highest daily salary in the territory.

If handicraft enthusiasts want to upgrade, they have to make things for other players to use in order to accumulate experience.

The wolf crossbow produced by this firepower weapon shop obviously has no shortage of sales. If you can take this opportunity to add it

Damn, this is a great opportunity to brush experience!

Just looking at the performance of the people outside, the demand for wolf crossbows is simply fanatical to an exaggerated degree.

The more you make, the more people use it, and the faster the experience will increase. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×

And some people will hesitate when it comes to making money, but upgrading their route level will gain more powerful abilities.

Immediately, dozens of people in the crowded crowd hurried away, and the route was obviously to the village work headquarters.

Watching these people leave, the corners of the mouth of the Youyou Fire King couldn't help but reveal a snicker.

He is not stupid, why would he offer the highest daily wage job in the village?

The bet is that these apprentices who join the weapon shop will join the work with a desperate spirit, trying to make the most wolf crossbows in the shortest time to sell, so as to gain more experience.

As long as it can go according to expectations, compared with the productivity they pay, this 25 iron coins daily salary is not high, and on average it is not even as comfortable as ordinary jobs.

At the same time, the firepower weapon shop can also quickly accumulate reputation and funds in the initial stage, and invest in subsequent research and development, always maintaining an absolute advantage over the weapon shops that open later.

This wave, a win-win situation.

No, it should be said that he won.

The newly opened Dream Refining Steel Plant promised in the letter of intent that as long as the weapon shop needs more than 10,000 crossbows at a time, the cost will be reduced by an additional 1.

According to the price difference, the fixed income alone starts at 100 coppers.

In the future, even if the weapon shop only sells crossbows, it can make considerable profits.

"But the simple wolf crossbow is just the first step. I dare not study these things on Earth, and no one cares about me in the wasteland."

As long as the battle does not reach the stage of artillery bombardment, the crossbow will always be useful.

Not to mention the various crossbows with various functions, just the transformation of the crossbow has countless inspirations in the mind of the Fire King.

Besides, as long as there is a steady stream of capital injection and continuous demand, research and development is still a thing.

Looking at the disappointed crowd below, he silently made up his mind.

Only by mastering the source of development can he always stay in the first echelon.

It is too difficult for him to get a loan to open a precision manufacturing plant, but as long as the firepower weapon shop can quickly accumulate enough funds.

Gather good talents, the manufacturing plant can be built at any time!

Western suburbs of Qinggang City.

In the outermost bungalow area, a team of seven people carefully followed the arrow formation and searched along the foggy streets.

Su Mo, wearing the Sun Chaser armor, walked behind, always monitoring the changes around.

At the same time, a small cube was being held in his hand, constantly emitting blue rays that could not be observed by the naked eye.

"Master, according to the comparison of yesterday's traces, new human footprints appeared within a hundred meters around."

Zero connected to the central system of the armor, and the voice was directly transmitted to the inside of the helmet.

Limited by the strange blue-purple fungal blanket, as soon as its detection range extends out, the information wave will be absorbed and neutralized by the colony, which will not only waste energy but also cause signal disorder.

There is no other way, Su Mo can only narrow the range to 100 meters, and use his feet as much as possible to carry it to the place where he stayed yesterday for detection.

And this test really found the problem.

The western suburbs of Qinggang City have already landed with the indigenous people, but they are temporarily unknown where they are hiding.

"Can you detect which direction they went?"

"There are three footprints, each leading to a different direction, but according to the inclination and depth of their footprints, and the degree of wear on their heels, the final direction should be northeast 37."

What the hell?

Even if it is divided into three directions, it can't be separated from the detection and calculation of Zero?

For the first time, Su Mo raised his hand and had a deeper understanding of this little thing, and also understood the obsession of the human beings left on Blue Star with the research of intelligent life.

If the researchers on Blue Star could really develop and manufacture a device like Zero at that time, perhaps the war that destroyed civilization would not have happened at all, and the rebels would have been found and eliminated before they even left the house.

And it would not be too easy for an entire planet to supply an energy-consuming monster like Zero.

By then, productivity will enter a new stage, and those seemingly irreconcilable contradictions will immediately disappear invisibly under the explosion of science and technology.

"Adjust direction, go to northeast 37, and enter combat status."

Su Mo gave a command, and the arrow-shaped formation began to change, gradually splitting into two teams to form a triangle to cover each other, while detecting changes in all directions.

Feng Long slowed down his pace, looked around nervously, and returned to the back.

"Director, are there enemies?"

"No one has been found yet, but traces of human activities have been found."

"New." Su Mo's expression was also a little solemn.

"New traces?" Feng Long was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said excitedly: "In the place we searched yesterday?"

Good guy, he was targeted by this group of people yesterday, and he couldn't sleep at night anyway, fearing that the other party would follow the traces to the surrounding area of ​​the village.

Now he has discovered the other party's flaws first

If we can follow the clues and take down their lair.

"Not only in the place we searched, there are also many in other places"

"It seems that the western suburbs of Qinggang City are quite lively?"

Going forward, Zero came up with many new information.

In addition to the three footprints, there are footprints leading to other directions.

This is not good news. It directly confirms Huanglang's description of Qinggang City.

The forces of all sizes are complicated. Some may have only more than ten people, while others may have as many as hundreds of people.

Each force may be separated by a block or a ruins bombed by a bomb.

They either live in dark and damp sewers, abandoned buildings, or start a new life and choose to build shelters and small camps in open areas.

Relying on some pre-war facilities left over, Qinggang City can still support tens of thousands of people.

Now that they have collectively traveled to the wasteland, they have almost become time bombs.

"Direction correction is successful, footprints have gathered, heading to the northeast 33"

"Please pay attention to the north 21 direction 39 meters, there is a danger detection."

Not far away, three shallow footprints from different directions have gathered together.

Indicating everyone to slow down, Su Mo cautiously came to the front and lowered his body.

Between two ordinary stones, there is a silver-white silk thread that is almost invisible to the naked eye lying on the ground.

Especially hidden in the fog, such a trap naturally has a new layer of protection.

If it weren't for Zero's warning, Su Mo had no doubt that the observer Ming Wujing who was walking in front would step on it.

"Director, this is..."

Ming Wujing was shocked and quickly got down and lay on the ground to observe.

On both sides of the silk thread, there were two small glass bottles pulled behind the stone.

The most eye-catching thing in the glass bottle was a ball of black powder, about 100g.

In front of the powder was a broken cylindrical transparent object, which looked a bit like the back end of a gel pen that was cut off by someone. It was equipped with a spring, a ring-mounted pull pin, a one-centimeter-long gray-white thin wire, and some black and red powder.

The white wire lying on the ground just passed through the oil seal at the mouth of the bottle and was fixed on the ring-mounted pull pin.

"It's a trip mine made of black gunpowder!"

Su Mo was not unfamiliar with this thing. It was this good thing that blew up the camp of the dog-headed people at that time.

But it is impossible to kill someone who accidentally stepped on it with just this little bit of black gunpowder. The biggest significance is still early warning and deterrence.

However, time has passed, and it was seen again in this modern ruined city.

A sense of absurdity and reality came from everyone's heart.

"With this thing, it seems that we should have reached the territory of this group of people."

"Stand by here and wait for me."

Su Mo stood up, his eyes flickering slightly.

Ordinary black gunpowder is not worth mentioning. The actual combat value of this thing is simply too low.

Once the explosion can be heard within a few kilometers, it is equivalent to using a loudspeaker to tell others your location.

But the white polyester fiber thread and the gray-white cotton thread in the glass bottle used to ignite the fire.

"Does the other party have a place to produce cotton, or inventory?"

Cotton is one of the important components of smokeless gunpowder.

In the past, when there was a creation function, some survival points could be exchanged for it.

Now that the function has been cancelled, Su Mo has not found the whereabouts of this thing for a long time.

If we could really "borrow" some from this group of people, the ammunition production line might be able to start up, greatly alleviating the current severe shortage of ammunition!
