Chapter 974: Future Cannery, Homeless Riot!
After the trial, the two machines were brought out together.
The generous Sean did not give the option of choosing one of the two, but "borrowed" all of them to Tianyuan Shelter for use.
According to him, the machine can be paid for when Tianyuan Shelter has enough funds in the future.
However, judging from the attitude that he has not even signed a contract, 99% of them are intended to be directly given to the shelter as a deposit.
From the side, it can also be seen that his obsession with cooperation is indeed quite deep.
Of course, Su Mo did not continue to greedily demand other conditions.
After inviting Sean to the reception room built by the temporary team, Su Mo cleared his throat and reminded him secretly according to the maximum limit tested many times in the ruins:
"Sir Sean, if you want to return to the foundation headquarters, you may have to speed up a bit."
"Based on our experience living on this land, it won't be long before a disaster that ordinary people can't imagine will break out here."
"Believe me, he will give you a subversive understanding of this world."
Don't say what will happen specifically, don't say the specific time, and the scope of the disaster.
This is the biggest limitation of the game on words.
And unlike Peng Qiu's confidence, probably because of a trip in the mountains, Sean is much more cautious in this regard.
"Disaster? Can you tell me what will happen specifically?"
"No, it's not that I don't want to say it, but the rules of operation here are not as simple as you think."
"Then there is no more detailed information?"
"Yes, even if you meet someone like me again, they can't tell you more detailed information."
"Okay."
I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected news.
Sean seemed a little hesitant, but after a while, he nodded silently and did not ask any more questions.
"Speaking of which, I have also sent people to observe and collect general information about this land and analyze the soil structure during this period. The soil here is very strange. It was born in less than a year, but it has constructed such incredible terrain and landforms. This is simply contrary to scientific common sense."
"In addition, the purity of the land here is beyond our imagination. There is no trace of heavy metal impurities in it. If there is no nuclear war again, this will be the best opportunity for us humans on Blue Star to return to the ground."
"Maybe, but it is also possible that more people will move underground after a while."
Su Mo smiled and joked.
"I will arrange more people to provide you with materials as soon as possible. If you have any other needs, please tell me as well.
"No problem." After getting along for a while, Sean also figured out the character of the man in front of him. A happy smile appeared on his face and he stretched out his right hand, "I wish our food plan will be implemented smoothly!"
"Happy cooperation! ”
The scavengers who went to Qinggang City to collect calm powder have not returned yet. This outpost camp built on the border of the territory is empty and a little deserted.
After leaving here, Su Mo quickly returned to the village and went to the food processing and manufacturing factory that had already grown in size.
This was the project he approved in the first wave of six contracts.
At that time, it was still for the purpose of better storing village resources and making them into diversified foods for use in different scenarios.
Now, the first big order actually came from the Red Spider Caravan.
Canned food.
This thing really has no technical content.
A large part of the three-no foods on Earth in the 1990s came from Canned food.
Anyway, the Red Spider Chariot can be refrigerated at ultra-low temperatures, so it only needs to be sterilized and sealed.
Not long after, when Su Mo arrived at the gate of the factory called "Super-Time and Space Food Processing Base".
The low-key factory director "Lonely Root Three" had been waiting behind the gate in advance.
He was not tall, only about 1.6 meters, and his face was full of wrinkles left by forty years.
But looking at the name of this food factory and his showy channel nickname, you can tell.
This guy has a younger mentality than young people!
"Lord, you are finally here. In a few days, our factory will be officially put into operation." Root Three smiled and said, "We have customized several packaging machines from the weapons factory, and we can definitely complete the task you assigned. "
Customizing machines with weapons factories, why does this sound weirder and weirder?
Su Mo secretly took note of it, but didn't say much, and his expression didn't change at all.
It seems that after the machine tool for producing guns is manufactured, it is time to separate the machine tool from it and set up an independent machinery factory to meet the diversified needs of the future territory.
As for the factory director, the doomsday madman is idle anyway, so let him take over first and look for candidates later.
They walked into the factory area covering an area of about 150 acres.
The two factory buildings built with cement concrete and steel frames are all the assets of the entire processing plant.
"Because of the long-distance transportation, even if we use the manufacturing machines provided by the weapons factory, it is completely unable to meet the high sealing standards. In addition, the steel plant does not have enough production capacity to provide us with a large number of iron cans, so we can only use glass or ceramics for loading and transportation.
"As for glass, the Empire Building Materials Factory does not have enough production capacity to provide it, so only ceramics are left."
In the factory on the left, workers are already building the furnace needed to mass-produce ceramics.
Next to the furnace, there is a standard mold.
It looks very rough, just a narrow-mouthed bottle in the shape of a vase. After the inside of the bottle is vacuumed by a machine, it is sealed with oil or water to ensure airtightness.
For now, when the sealing standard of iron cans cannot be met, this method is the most cost-effective and the most practical one.
"In addition, since we don't know how many days it will take to arrive, we can no longer use taste as a hard standard for food selection. For example, cooking, even if we use vacuum transportation, once it exceeds fourteen days, it will definitely become corrupt due to the self-reaction inside the dish, greatly affecting the taste."
"Steamed buns and pastries can be stored for a longer time, but the taste is much lighter. After a long time, the taste inside will slowly dissipate, and it will not achieve the effect you want, lord."
From receiving the notice last night to this afternoon.
In less than a day, the professional ability of Root Three has been highlighted. The market research is very clear, and the advantages and disadvantages of canning food are analyzed.
"If we can't bring either of these, then won't our choice be very passive?"
Su Mo frowned. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
The route of chef apprentice is not a rare route.
Among the many human territories that have chosen the main route of scientific and technological civilization, the probability of being drawn is very high.
Of course, at this stage, few people may choose such a route without combat effectiveness.
After all, not every human territory can be as stable as Tianyuan Territory, so that everyone can develop in the direction they want.
But there will always be a group of people who choose, and they will one day be able to upgrade to Lv2, and the territory will click on the route cornerstone to open this special taste ability.
This time will not be too long.
And this gap in the middle is the time for Tianyuan Territory to play its advantage.
If it can be seized, then it will continue to form a crushing until it establishes an unsurpassable advantage.
If we can't catch it, it will definitely be much more difficult to compete in the market in the future.
"Yes, I have joined the chef apprentice channel and discussed with them. Everyone is not optimistic about the long-distance transportation of food."
"After all, even on Earth, those pre-prepared dishes can only achieve 80% or even less of the taste of food."
"So, I was thinking that since they don't require the type of food, can we make some food that has a longer natural storage time."
"For example?"
"Pickled vegetables!"
Root Three raised his eyebrows and proved his identity at the first time: "Lord, my hometown is in the northeast. Even if we don't store pickled vegetables, they can keep their flavor for at least a few months."
"If we use vacuum sealing, it will be even better. We can completely retain 99% of the taste of the food. Even if it is transported there, it may be more delicious than just pickled." Root Three patted his chest and promised: "As long as you are willing to believe me, I will take out the secret recipe left by my grandmother, and I will definitely conquer these country bumpkins who have never seen the market."
Comparing the Blue Star people to country bumpkins is okay.
The technology and weapons possessed by the other party are terrifyingly powerful, but the only thing about food is that it is like stepping into a barren desert.
When I think of transporting pickles to the headquarters of the foundation, or other large gathering places, that scene.
Su Mo looked at the man in front of him with approval and nodded with satisfaction.
"Pickles are indeed a good thing, which can minimize our transportation pressure this time."
"Wait until the production line is more complete, and then consider producing more varieties to make a name for yourself, not bad."
It takes at least three months for the Red Spider Caravan to go back and forth.
With these three months, it is not a problem to take the productivity of the territory to a higher level with the machine tool.
"Just do it this way, open up the channels as soon as possible to start the production line, and supply the Red Spider Caravan as soon as possible."
"Remember, we must ensure the quality and quantity of the first batch of goods."
Su Mo took out a signed "check" from his arms and handed it over.
Square Root Three took it and looked at it, and his eyebrows were immediately overjoyed.
Get rich!
The first order the food processing plant received was a big one, for a total of 20,000 kilograms of pickles.
Based on the price of 2 iron coins per kilogram, including packaging, Su Mo gave a price of 10 iron coins per kilogram.
The income from this order is 20,000 copper coins!
Good guy, even if the raw materials and labor costs are put aside, as well as the fees paid to the chef apprentice.
The food processing plant can also make a profit of at least 20,000 iron coins, which is already twice the initial loan!
Of course, the square root of three did not calculate the price of the machine tools, nor did it calculate where the income would eventually flow back.
Walking out of the factory gate, Su Mo smiled and pressed the shaking number zero in his pocket.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, master, according to my previous calculations, the cost of producing one kilogram of pickles should only be 5 iron coins, and 20,000 kilograms is a total of 13,000 copper coins. Why did you over-issue so much?"
"Haha, can't you understand?"
"Yes, the logic I learned about the balance between cost and selling price did not involve this part. It tells me that if you disrupt the market for a long time like you do, it will only push the market to an uncontrollable peak and then decline."
"Decline? It's rare that you can't understand."
Su Mo was stunned, then laughed and took the number zero out of his pocket.
At this time, the small square seemed to be full of big doubts.
After a pause, Su Mo said slowly: "First, I am the lord. In a sense, all the assets here belong to me. Whether it is this super-time and space food processing base or the imperial building materials factory next door, as long as it comes to the critical moment, I have the right to withdraw their funds, so there is no possibility of over-issuance and loss of control."
"Second, as long as we can open up the territory's food foreign trade through Sean, the processing plant will definitely receive more and more orders in the future. Once the scale is not enough, it will be equivalent to the duck in hand flying away directly. So I support giving them more funds, also for the sake of the foreign exchange that the territory will receive in the future."
"Third, the premise of calculating expenditure is that we have to calculate income."
The reproduction plan has greatly improved the productivity of the territory, and the reserves of resources are doubling almost every day.
Compared with the high daily salary expenditure, the resources collected are income.
If no one digests these resources and converts the funds on the account into materials, then the wages paid to the villagers can only be over-issued with credit, entering a vicious circle.
Therefore, only by using currency to continuously improve productivity and create greater market demand can the trading environment be pushed into a virtuous cycle.
"So your behavior is inflation stimulating industrial upgrading?"
Zero trembled and suddenly said a very vivid noun phrase.
"Hey, you even know this?"
"This is the information I scanned from Mr. Qiao Yuansheng. Is that what it means?"
Zero turned it over in his palm, not quite understanding it.
As a newborn artificial intelligence, he is now like a blank sheet of paper, and any knowledge can leave a strong and colorful mark.
However, before it can continue to express its own opinions.
Suddenly, at the end of the horizon, a faint and violent explosion sounded.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the sound, the huge shock wave shattered the thick fog in the air.
It's like a person's hand stirring in a water tank, causing the surrounding fog to produce huge ring-shaped ripples that spread outward.
"This is"
Su Mo showed a look of astonishment on his face when he found that it was in the direction of Qinggang City.
At the same time, the private message on the game interface suddenly started to beep. It was from the male gunner:
"Lord, it's bad."
"There's a nuclear bomb explosion in the direction of the wandering jungle in the eastern suburbs of the city!"
