Chapter 939: Sunny Harbor Secret, Deal Done!

In the dark and lonely misty ruins.

With his powerful eyesight, Su Mo saw Liu Lu sitting at the wellhead from a distance.

Of course, he didn't need to see it, because the number zero in his pocket had already reported the surrounding situation.

Eighteen people were ambushed, and four of them were wearing exoskeleton armor, each within a range of about 300 meters.

Once the battle broke out, these people could rush over to join the battle within ten seconds.

And behind Liu Lu, there was a wellhead passage leading to the underground.

As long as he leaned back slightly, he could enter here and escape.

"Very careful"

Su Mo raised his hand to signal, and the convoy transporting food in the rear slowly stopped.

According to the agreement reached by the two parties.

A total of five tons of food, two tons on the car, as a deposit.

And the other party will also transport out a basically broken tool machine as a token of surrender.

"I have already transported the food you want, you can send someone to see the quality."

"Where is the thing I want?"

Stepping into the encirclement that was swept away in the ruins, Su Mo raised his head and said loudly.

"Of course I brought the things."

I realized that the other party dared to come alone in such an unfamiliar environment, and walked into the open space separated from the ruins alone.

Liu Lu narrowed his eyes, and his tense body gradually relaxed.

Through the mist, he glanced back and forth at the man who was talking opposite, trying to capture more information that would be helpful for the next conversation.

Hmm.

He was not tall, and there were no defensive tactical movements while walking, so he should not be a combatant.

Wearing a neat black windbreaker and shiny leather boots, he looked like a big shot.

Add to that face that looked immature but was actually calm.

Liu Lu came to the first conclusion.

It seems that even if the other party did not send the highest-level boss, this person should be able to speak.

"Since we have brought what the other party wants, let's start the transaction?"

"Okay."

Liu Lu was concise and knew in his heart that the basis for the next conversation was that the transaction could be successfully concluded.

He clapped his hands, and three carts were pushed out in the mist by Lao Lu and his men.

On them were the parts of the smallest of the three damaged machine tools on the B-7 floor.

In the Pingtan Shelter, damaged machine tools are divided into two categories.

The first category is that if the machine tool cannot be used because of some damaged parts, it can be repaired by purchasing it from the residents with scientific research capabilities below.

Because it is a strategic material, the probability of this type of machine tool being strictly guarded is greater than that of a complete machine tool, and the difficulty of transporting it out is daunting.

The second category is that the machine tool has reached the end of its service life and the various parts inside have reached the limit of aging.

In any case, the value after the damage is equivalent to a pile of scrap metal.

Although it is still not allowed to be traded externally in name, there are actually many people who buy and sell it secretly.

Taking advantage of the night, it is not difficult for Liu Lu, who controls most of the defense forces on the B-7 floor, to transport the machine on the cart out.

"Very good." Su Mo looked normal after glancing at the machine tool parts on the cart, but a touch of surprise appeared in his heart.

As expected, Blue Star, which has developed two hundred years more than Earth and has a highly integrated automated industry.

The sophistication of the machine tools they produce is indeed much higher than the industrial level of Earth!

Even if you don't look closely, you can find the difference through some exposed details.

And although the machine on the cart is damaged.

But with the system to repair it

This deal is really a big profit!

"Feng Long, take the goods to trade with them."

The food and supplies transported out for trading are naturally not the rice and flour stored in the territory before.

Most of them are potatoes, corn, and rye looted from the dwarf camp.

However, for the not picky eater, such things are completely enough, and they are much more delicious than the disgusting nutritional paste.

After carefully checking the food pulled on the three carts, Lao Lu nodded and indicated that the trade could be made.

"Switch the car, or unload it and we'll load it for you?"

"We need the car."

Rejecting Feng Long's proposal, Lao Lu and several old engineers began to unload the goods.

The machine tool looked heavy, but it was actually much lighter than expected.

After installing slide rails on both sides of the cart and gently pulling it down, it landed smoothly on the ground.

Obviously, at the beginning of the design, the machine tool had already taken into account the trouble of moving it later.

"Is there an instruction manual? This thing looks weird."

A soldier wanted to inspect the goods in a serious manner, but after touching the machine tool and looking at the corners that he didn't know how to start, he could only smile awkwardly and asked.

"No, the operation of the machine tool is completely automatic. Everything can be operated just by following its prompts."

"In addition, this machine is completely broken. Even the Foundation can't repair it. If you don't want to waste time, it is recommended not to pay too much attention to it."

Although the other party's accent was a bit strange, as if he had just learned to speak.

But in the end, Lao Lu still chose to give a piece of advice.

“It’s a pity that such a perfect industrial machine broke down like this.

Feng Long nodded with a smile, and signaled the soldiers behind him to help move the food onto the other party's cart.

"Thank you."

For old guys like them, it is naturally comfortable not to have to load the food by themselves.

Accepting the other party's kindness, Lao Lu stood cautiously beside the car and opened the bags one by one to check.

Fortunately.

It seems that the other party is indeed not an ordinary wastelander, and did not do anything to the food.

The quality of these they traded is exactly the same as those purchased from the foundation.

No water was added, and no debris was added.

After checking for a while, Lao Lu was relieved and handed the follow-up work to other engineers for further inspection.

He walked to Feng Long and tried to ask softly:

"Sir, it sounds like you are very interested in this broken machine tool?"

"Of course, my biggest hobby is to collect these pre-war civilization treasures." Feng Long nodded repeatedly, stroking the surface of the machine tool like a pervert: "Look, they are so perfect, natural!"

"Do you also like to collect things from the pre-war era?"

Lao Lu looked weird.

Collecting is not a rare hobby in the wasteland.

Even he likes to collect some magazines from the pre-war era to imagine the prosperous past.

"Yes, I like machinery, and the more sophisticated the machinery, the more I like it."

"If you still have something like this, I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."

"Even if it is completely broken?"

Lao Lu tried to ask, but the uncontrollable smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed his true thoughts at this time.

Before coming, Liu Lu asked him to find a way to collect the other party's hobbies to see if he could open a breakthrough in future cooperation.

Half an hour ago, he was still worried about this matter, and he didn't know how to start a trial.

Now, I didn't expect that it would be so easy to get useful information.

Like sophisticated machinery?

Isn't this easy to do?

There are too many industrial wastes accumulated in the Pingtan Shelter for two hundred years. If it weren't for the strict prohibition of external transactions in the management regulations, no one would tolerate freeing up a large space on the living floor to install these things.

In addition, although external transactions are prohibited, no one said that internal transactions are prohibited.

The lower floors were hoping that someone could take these waste products away and free up some space for other purposes.

If they could really exchange for "fresh" materials from the other party, it would be a zero-cost deal, much better than taking the risk to trade with the harbor shelter!

The only question is whether the other party can accept broken things and how much they can accept.

"Broken ones are definitely okay."

Feng Long showed a look of disappointment: "Friend, broken machinery is more valuable for collection than good ones. Through their damaged parts, I seem to see how hard it worked in those years."

"This is simply the most beautiful thing!"

"In addition, I am not the only one in our tribe who likes to collect. They also like to collect this kind of stuff."

"They?" Lao Lu turned his head and looked to the side in astonishment.

Good guy.

Not only did the few soldiers who were carrying materials nod, but more than a dozen people behind Feng Long also nodded in unison.

So many people like to collect broken industrial waste?

Lao Lu was shocked and questioned his hobby for a while.

Could it be that this thing is really as good as they say, and I just didn't find its collection value?

After being surprised for a few seconds, he came back to his senses and nodded quickly: "I know, if we continue to trade next time, maybe I can bring you some small gifts."

"Thank you so much, don't worry, we are willing to pay equal materials for exchange."

Feng Long put his hands together and expressed his gratitude.

In a harmonious and tacit trading atmosphere, Lao Lu left with three carts full of food.

On the other side, Liu Lu also received the message in the communication headset at the same time.

According to the plan discussed before.

After the transaction is completed, Lao Lu will give three different levels of evaluation: A, B, and C.

Grade A means that the other party is very honest and has no transgressions. It is a partner that can be discussed for cooperation.

Grade B means that the other party has some means, but there is still a basis for cooperation.

Grade C means that the other party is not kind, and the two parties must be very careful when cooperating, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble.

"Captain Liu, S-level."

"S?" Liu Lu was a little confused, and for a moment he couldn't remember what S-level stood for.

But a few seconds later, he suddenly reacted and said with a smile:

"Happy transaction, we have received your deposit, and we will get the goods you need as soon as possible."

S-level does not exist in this cooperation.

But in previous exchanges with the outside world, any S-level means that the other party has huge potential to be tapped, and as long as cooperation is reached, it can make a lot of money.

Is it really a treasure that is lost in the east and gained in the west? !

"Don't worry, I have seen your sincerity. We hope to maintain long-term and stable cooperation, not a one-off deal."

Happy transaction is okay.

Seeing you are so surprised, it seems that Feng Long's plan has been completed.

Su Mo's face was happy, and he couldn't help but turn the topic to cooperation.

The other party used the abandoned machine tool as a token of surrender, which no one had thought of before the plan was completely finalized.

Now that they look indifferent, Feng Long's plan is complete again.

Presumably these people have a lot of good stuff in their hands.

In this way, the value of the machine tool that can still be used is no longer that high.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to collect the broken industrial waste in their hands and use the system to repair it?

"Long-term cooperation?" Liu Lu took a deep breath, but he didn't expect that the other party would bring it up first.

"Since you know our identities, you should know that if we want to cooperate, we must also know the general situation of your tribe, such as where you are from."

"Oh? It seems that you must have guessed that we do not belong to Blue Star?" Sumo looked at him with interest and continued: "Yes, the information told to you by the Harbor Shelter is correct. We are from another Blue Star. ”

"Another Blue Star?" Liu Lu paused, neither choosing to believe nor questioning.

"Then where are we now?"

"In the pre-war era, Blue Star humans opened the singularity of time and space and entered another space." Sumo looked at him and raised his chin: "Where we are now is inside that space."

"I know about extraterritorial space, but we have not entered that singularity, not even us"

"I'm just answering your question, not the reason." Su Mo interrupted: "Whether you want to believe it or not, the area around Qinggang City is no longer the same as it was before. I think you should too after this period of time has passed. Take the initiative to check it out.”

"Um"

Liu Lu's eyes were a little wandering, he pointed to the east and whispered: "So, where are you from?"

"Yes, our tribe is to the east of you. If you are interested, I can take you there to see it on the spot."

"Go and take a look?" Liu Lu had a look of yearning on his face, but then he shook his head violently: "Forget it, Mr. Pingtan strictly prohibits us from leaving Qinggang City. If he finds me going out to check without permission,"

"Okay, since you know the harbor shelter, let me tell you straight. About half a month ago, the long-term deal between our B-7 floor and the harbor shelter was terminated due to some special reasons. Because of the asylum According to the regulations within the institute, we need to complete certain material tasks every month, mainly related to food.

If you are willing, and what you need is something we can provide, then I think we may be able to reach a long-term deal, so that it will be a win-win situation for both your tribe and my residents. "

"Material mission?" Sumo nodded with interest, but did not show his interest on his face.

“I have a question, how many people are there in the Pingtan shelter now?

Of course, you can choose not to answer, or just give a vague number. "

"If we cooperate, this is not a big secret in Qinggang City." Liu Lu nodded and continued: "Except for the 21st floor where the manager lives, there are more than 60,000 people living on the other 20 floors of Pingtan Shelter. . The lower the floors, the fewer people live there. We now have a total of just over 2,000 people on the B-7 floor.”

"Sixty thousand people?" Sumo swallowed calmly.

The population of just one flatbed refuge is six times greater than that of the territory.

This number is much higher than expected.

Based on the current number of bunkers in Qinggang City, wouldn't it be an empty city interior?

At least hundreds of thousands more? !
