Chapter 963 Cotton Business, Fear of Insufficient Firepower!

Free thoughts can never grow in a cage.

Only when they go to the wild can they take root, break through the soil, and eventually grow into a towering tree.

Originally, the two planned to dig out the passage and then go back to pretend nothing happened to cover up the news.

Wait until the recent storm is over, or wait until the meeting between the major forces in Qinggang City is over.

Then go and make a deal with the mysterious Tianyuan Shelter.

But just lying in the rain, receiving this "bath" from head to toe like a baptism.

Involuntarily, Liu Lu and Lao Lu's thoughts changed at the same time.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

"I thought the Pingtan Army would strictly guard the interior, but I didn't expect them to not care at all. A large number of people were deployed near the Fifth Ring Road. They were definitely afraid that the Harbor Shelter would break the rules and launch a surprise attack like last time."

"If the two shelters reach a settlement or even cooperation in a few days, it would be easier for us to be monitored when we trade."

"And now, it's the time when everyone is least paying attention to us."

After leaving the shelter, Liu Lu's brain worked much better.

Seeing that it was past four o'clock, the two strolled in the nearby streets for a while, and then returned to the Pingtan Shelter.

Of course, they didn't forget to pass on the message.

In a hidden ruin agreed by both sides, Liu Lu left the transaction information.

Not just cotton, not just those abandoned industrial products.

Counting it, this should be the first formal transaction between the two sides.

Perhaps it was because of the continuous oppression from Jin Dafa and Jin Dazhi in recent times, or perhaps it was because of the unreasonable strength of the tiger hunters and the abnormal rules of the Pingtan Shelter.

Now he no longer wanted the materials for completing the mission on the seventh floor and some necessities for survival in the shelter.

"All we want is to keep our lives in our own hands and not be controlled by others."

"As long as you don't continue to force me, I won't take this road unless it's absolutely necessary."

He sat down in the office on the seventh floor and took off his muddy work clothes.

Liu Lu took a long breath and his eyes became more resolute than ever before.

September 8th of the last year of the calendar.

This is the first heavy rain in the entire New World since September.

The rain was heavy and continued until noon.

Because of the large amount of water under the abandoned bridge, Darren went to explore it and came back with a sigh.

In the current situation, don't think about taking a shortcut through this road for at least three days.

But if you take a detour through another small road in the western suburbs, the time you have to travel is nearly ten kilometers.

It sounds like this journey is not long, and it will only take more than an hour in the wilderness.

But in the complex terrain of Qinggang City, even if you set out in the morning, you may not be able to get there smoothly in the evening.

In addition, the longer the battle line is, the more difficult it is to achieve security issues.

After calculating the risks, today's collection location is still back to the unexplored place in the western suburbs.

But according to the engineers from the Red Spider Caravan who came to buy extra meals separately.

They will soon use the ready-made materials and accessories to make a temporary amphibious vehicle to pass through the riverbed.

This time will not be too long, and it will be completed by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

So after the plan to explore the second floor of Triumph Hospital was shelved, the harmonious atmosphere was not affected much.

However, the sight turned back to Hope Village.

Compared with the previous few days, the atmosphere here is much more lively.

Early in the morning, tens of thousands of people gathered in the square in front of the villagers, chattering and waiting to receive the corresponding equipment.

"Come to think of it, I haven't done mining yet, why am I a little excited?"

"Boy, I think you are excited because mining is the job that gives the most contribution points in the reproduction operation?"

"Hahaha, who says it's not? 3 contribution points a day, and 25 iron coins, I will go all out for this mining!"

"If you ask me, the best thing is to join the Tianyuan Army. Although there are no fixed contribution points, as long as you participate in the battle, you may be able to receive a hundred or eighty contribution points at a time if you win."

"That makes sense, but I faint when I see blood. It seems that I will never go to the battlefield in this life."

"Do you think we are going to fight with Qinggang City recently? The scavenger team didn't say anything last night, why do I feel a little panicked?"

"What are you afraid of? We have the lord here, so why are we afraid of some natives?"

"Yeah, that's right."

The reproduction plan that was suddenly launched last night disrupted the arrangements of all the villagers.

The infrastructure that had just entered the fast lane was forced to stop, and everyone temporarily lost their "freedom".

From now on, until the next disaster comes.

Everyone must complete a certain contribution task within the deadline.

Or go to the mine in the territory, join the mining work, and dig up enough minerals.

Or take the tools issued by the Ministry of Construction, form a team according to the requirements, and go to the designated location to build defense facilities.

Or join the newly established transport team to transport a large amount of supplies to the border of the territory.

Or join the Tianyuan Army, take off-duty training, and be ready to fight on the battlefield at any time.

If it were in peacetime, it would be very difficult to implement such a plan, and there would definitely be all kinds of resistance.

But in the wasteland, in this world full of dangers and natural disasters at any time.

The villagers' reaction was very real.

No one protested, almost when the plan was issued.

Everyone's focus was no longer on losing their "freedom", but on the contribution points rewarded for each task.

From the lowest 1 point, to 2 points, to the highest 3 points, and tasks with no upper limit.

If you accumulate points at this rate, you can accumulate 500 points in less than half a year.

Good guy.

This is the requirement for living in the dungeon.

You can have a small area of ​​your own in the wasteland, even if it is only ten square meters.

Let alone these tasks with higher salaries than normal work, just go out and fight with others immediately.

I believe that many people will pick up weapons and resolutely go to the battlefield.

The gathering time was not too long, and soon tens of thousands of people chose their favorite tasks and left in all directions.

The accumulated water on the ground had not completely receded, and dense footprints were left on the unhardened ground in front of the village gate.

"Master, we have prepared the supplies that the other party needs."

The madman of the end of the world walked in from the open door, with oil stains on his face.

He carried a wolf tooth rifle, the latest product of the weapons factory, on his back, two decent grenades on his left waist, and two tactical daggers flashing black light on his right trouser leg. He looked more and more like the lawless "cowboys" in Qinggang City.

However, the cowboys did not have such sophisticated equipment as him.

Su Mo immediately judged from the smell coming from the air from a long distance that this rifle, which looked exactly like the AK but was named wolf tooth by the madman of the end of the world, had not fired a single shot so far.

No bullets was indeed an embarrassing thing for the weapons factory whose gun production line could reach a stable daily output of about 15.

Surrounded by powerful enemies, the remaining bullets must be used at the most critical moment.

A few days ago, the doomsday madman had to persuade and persuade him to borrow five bullets from the barracks, and installed them on the modified M-1 rifle to test the gun body posture.

But now, he is very excited.

Just this morning, the border guards who went to a hidden ruin in the western suburbs to investigate the news as usual finally brought back good news.

Soon, the raw material cotton for making nitrocellulose will be in place!

Seeing him nod, Su Mo put down the pen and was a little confused.

"It's not even night yet, can they trade with us now?"

"Yes, the head of the law department, Liu, who left the message, agreed with us at 5 pm. You are suspicious..."

"It's okay, they dare not fish for law enforcement. Since it can be transported out, it's just right for us to trade now."

"Wait for me."

After speaking, Su Mo got up and went back to the back of the partition, and opened the box of the Sun Chaser Armor placed in the corner.

Buzz

Under the induction of the Key of Creation, all the parts were quickly assembled together.

After putting on this outfit, Su Mo thought for a moment, and then hung the folding alloy gun made by the steel factory based on the second-generation Dali platform in the corner on the buckle ring on his back.

The gun body was 1.8 meters long and naturally stood up to the sky behind his back.

Seeing Su Mo walk out in this outfit, the doomsday madman, who was still excited about the upcoming replenishment of ammunition, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Fuck, this is too cool."

The dark red painted armor, the triangular helmet that was low on the chest armor.

Two dark red narrow eyes, and the thick and powerful pneumatic connecting rods at each joint combination.

Instantly, the doomsday madman felt that the gun in his hand was not fragrant.

When the two went out, some villagers who had not completely left also made similar exclamations.

"Damn, is that the Lord? This is fucking awesome!"

"This is the power armor, this is the power armor they brag about every day in the world channel."

"Why doesn't the game have a screenshot function? No, why not turn on a photo function? If this set of armor can be uploaded to the world channel, it will be much cooler than the power armor that those people talk about."

"Fuck! If contribution points can be exchanged for this armor, it will be much better."

"Don't dream, at least wait until the Tianyuan Army has it, then we will be able to open the purchase channel, right?"

"No, what are you thinking, this thing is something that our shabby weapons factory can make?"

"That's right, we still don't expect the Doomsday Madman to be at this level. Did you hear that when he was testing the gun before, the barrel almost exploded."

""

Listening to the villagers' low voices, the Doomsday Madman's face turned black.

This is fucking true. Good news doesn't go out, but bad news spreads a thousand miles.

Isn't it normal for a work of art like the modified M-1 rifle to have some problems?

Besides, it was just a jam, how come it exploded while being passed around?

Also, to build such a battle armor.

Don’t they know that materials are the first priority?

The Dream Refining Steel Factory cannot produce materials that can withstand the frontal impact of bullets, so what if it can replicate the battle armor.

It’s just a humanoid self-propelled coffin. If someone uses it as a target and shoots it once, it’s done.

“Speaking of which, I haven’t been to your place these days. That machine tool is pretty good, right? How’s the progress?”

As a competent manager, Su Mo suppressed his smile and changed the topic after hearing the discussion of the surrounding villagers.

In fact, the progress of the weapons factory was already very fast in his opinion.

Although the repaired machine tool was powerful, it was not omnipotent in actual use.

First of all, although it integrated a lot of industrial manufacturing equipment features and had functions such as punching, pressing, cutting, and shaving.

But to use it, it was necessary to input a special design drawing in the language of Blue Star according to specific program specifications.

This step was difficult for people without language talent.

Secondly, the more sophisticated the manufacturing, the slower the efficiency of the machine tool.

After all, it can only perform one task in a unit of time and cannot use all functions at the same time.

With these restrictions, the doomsday madman was able to create a gun from scratch in less than ten days.

He was also able to use it to rebuild two simple machine tools and a heat perforator for making gun barrels in his spare time.

This progress fully demonstrated his talent and talent.

"The progress is very good. The usability of this machine tool is beyond my imagination. For example, now, the production of cheap goods such as the Wolf Fang rifle that do not require high precision, according to my plan, the production line of guns is estimated to be able to operate independently in half a month, freeing up this Barus F-325 micro-intelligent industrial machine tool."

"In addition, I have also prepared a four-punch stamping machine for making bullets in advance, and also made a batch of experimental equipment for the toxic chemical plant. As long as the raw materials are in place, at least 2,000 rounds can be guaranteed per day!"

"The Iron Hammer Steel Plant wants to try to use the one-can steelmaking process to purify better Dali iron ore. Recently, they also need me to use the machine tool to help them punch some high-sealing process tanks. The progress is still very tight."

On the way to the transaction site, the Doomsday Madman introduced the recent development of the industrial zone in detail.

From the initial technical climb to the current preparation for trial production.

Not only the steel mill and the weapons factory have stable output, but also several other factories have improved.

A large number of orders have been piled up for the Dream Refining Steel Plant. As long as the equipment is ready, they can start working immediately.

"The progress is very good. After this period of time, I will give you a reward separately."

As a player with a serious fear of insufficient firepower, it would be a lie for Su Mo to say that he is not anxious about the empty arsenal in the territory.

Last night, for some reason, after the people in the Qinggang Shelter left, the little thing Zero suddenly ran out to predict the winning rate of Tianyuan Territory after the war came.

According to his prediction, if the Tianyuan Shelter and the Pingtan Shelter or the Harbor Shelter started a war now.

The probability of winning is only a pitiful 3%, of which 5% still takes into account Su Mo himself wearing the Sun Chaser Armor.

In other words, the winning rate of both sides is now 5% to 5%.

This feeling is simply terrible!
