NO.157 Star City

?

> Carl believes that today must be his lucky day. He walked into this town with infinite hope. The first thing he saw was the neatly planned houses and wide roads, unlike the Diamond City. The pile is a tattered combination of iron and wood, but like the city wall, it is made of that kind of bright metal, which emits a cool and dazzling light in the hot sun.

Moreover, the road in the town is not the most primitive dirt road, but a solid concrete road. The term 'concrete' is what he heard from other companions. It is said that before the beginning of the wasteland century, humans built the Magic material for buildings.

The town's pavement was expansive, at least thirty feet wide, and Carl had never seen ground so clean and tidy, almost spotless. Not only that, but Carl even saw the luxury of sewers, which ensured that the town would not be overwhelmed by standing water on rainy days.

Also, the farther you go to the center of the town, the higher the surrounding buildings are. From the edge, the most central part turns out to be a huge fortress that is at least 50 meters high and covers an area of ​​10,000 square meters! There are even many wide platforms on the fort, where you can see powerful artillery and bird helicopters!

This is a well-armed city that can withstand the baptism of war!

The eagerness in Carl's eyes became stronger, but when he thought of his wife and children at home, he still forced himself to withdraw his eager eyes and turned around on the street. He needed to find a grocery store first and sell his hands without even himself. Know what the wreckage is.

It seems that because the town just opened, he found that the flow of people on the street was extremely sparse, but there were often teams of soldiers in large armor patrolling by to maintain law and order in the town.

Not only that, there are many shops along the street in the town, so many that Carl is almost dazzled, but they are all closed, obviously because there is no operator.

If you can own a shop in this town, then you will no longer need to run around for survival and food, right?

A look of longing flashed in Carl's eyes before he shook his head, throwing this unrealistic fantasy out of his mind.

.

Until finally, Carl walked to the center of the town and finally saw an open grocery store on the edge of the fort.

Carl ran over with joy and saw only a very clean woman sitting in the center of the counter in the store. The woman looked ordinary, but compared to the unkempt woman living in the wasteland world, she was as beautiful as a fairy.

swallowed,

Carl asked nervously, "Excuse me, do you buy wasteland garbage here?"

"Everything is accepted here, what do you have?" The woman raised her head flatly and walked out of the counter. Carl seemed to be a little inferior and took a few steps back quickly, for fear that the other party would smell the bad smell on his body.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The woman shook her head, no sorrow or joy in her eyes.

"That's it." Carl blushed then, stretched out his hand and quickly handed the wreckage to the other party, then quickly took two steps back and murmured with his head lowered.

"It turned out to be a nuclear fusion core of a power armor. Your luck is very good." The woman said calmly, "It's just that the power core of this energy core is not much, and the shell is a little damaged. I will give you an estimate of the value. coins, do you want cash or something else?"

Carl couldn't help frowning, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I want to ask, isn't the currency in circulation here bottle caps?"

"No, this is Stellar City, and the currency in circulation here is only Stellar coin." The woman said in a very ordinary tone, "And soon, the entire Boston and even the entire Federation will have only this currency in circulation."

Carl couldn't help but take a breath, this eternal city, such a big ambition!

But these are not what Carl cares about. He just said a little nervously, "Then I don't want money, can I want food?"

"Okay." The woman didn't say much, just pointed to the food on the counter, "These foods are priced in stars, you can choose what you need."

Carl nodded and glanced at the woman with some embarrassment. He needs food very much now, and he won't sell each other's face because of a woman, even if the other person is a beauty he has never seen before. Besides, he will not keep the currency of a force that will perish at some point in time. In the wasteland, only Nuka-Cola bottle caps are the only hard currency.

Carl calmed his mind and looked at the food on the counter. Just now, he was a little nervous and didn't pay attention to the food. Until this time, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of shock!

I saw a variety of foods on the glass counters on both sides of the store, among which the rye bread that I could usually eat was just the cheapest one, with a kilogram of rye bread on it. , it only sells 1 star!

Carl's heart was like lightning and thunder, and the cold sweat on his forehead was pouring out. At this time, he realized what the so-called core he got, and how valuable it was!

You must know that a kilogram of bread is already his usual income from scavenging for a week. It is only worth 1 star here, but the core he picked up is worth tens of thousands of stars. It's also a good thing that he didn't bring this thing directly back to Diamond City, otherwise, relying on the security of Diamond City, if you take out items of that kind of value, there is only a dead end!

Thinking of this, Carl only felt very emotional. He had an intuition. Only in front of this woman who had no feelings at all, he didn't have to worry about his belongings being swallowed up, and he didn't have to worry that the other party would give him less food because he didn't know the goods.

Thinking of this, Carl suddenly had a bold idea, an opportunity to completely get rid of his humble status as a scavenger.

! His heart was beating violently, and his whole body could not help shaking with excitement!

"Please, may I ask, can Stellar Coins buy a shop here?"

"Sorry, Eternal City doesn't have a project to sell shops." However, the woman shook her head. Just when Carl was disappointed, the woman said again, "However, there is a project of renting a shop. The price of leasing a shop is between 1,000 stellar lumens and stellar lumens, depending on the location. The closer to the town center, the more expensive the shop. "

"Do you need to rent?"

...

After more than a month of maintenance, 90% of the college's various instruments and circuits have been repaired, including the college's quantum computer Alpha, and the remaining 10% are difficult to repair or too damaged to be damaged. Repaired instrument.

Although it is a pity, if he chooses again, Zhang Heng will still use the extremely simple method of dropping electromagnetic bombs to break through the academy.

The building materials that Zhang Heng brought from reality were all used in the new city above the college, including concrete floors, aluminum alloy houses, and reinforced concrete castles.

The new city, which Zhang Heng named Star City, contains residential areas, commercial areas and entertainment areas. He wants to gather a group of aborigines here to exchange food and daily necessities for the world's rich resources and development. technology, and eventually rule the entire Federation.

With the labor force of synthetics, the speed of construction of new cities is extremely fast, and even before other forces have recovered, the prototype of the city has been built. Coupled with the more than 200 clone fighters and thirteen tyrants brought by Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng almost has the strength to sweep the Federation!

At this moment, Zhang Heng was standing at the top of the fortress, looking at the town under his feet. Suddenly, he saw an aboriginal in rags. The aboriginal walked out of the clone shop arranged by Zhang Heng with a happy face, and then two A clone fighter directly drove out a chariot and took him out of the city.

"What's going on?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Sir, it's just a lucky nouveau riche." A male voice sounded out of thin air in the room. If you listen carefully, you can tell that this voice is electronically synthesized, but it seems to have feelings, with a human tone. .

"This lucky gentleman picked up a nuclear fusion core and exchanged it for 10,000 stars. He rented a shop for 1,000, and then rented two soldiers for 4,000 to protect him for 24 hours. I heard that he was going back to Boston to pick him up. My wife and son." After saying this, a 3D picture flashed in Zhang Heng's room, with countless tiny lights intertwined, forming the appearance of a crab in mid-air.

"Sure enough, he is a very lucky guy." Zhang Heng nodded and ignored the topic. "Alpha, have you completed all the technical materials listed by Yuehua? I'm ready to leave."

"Okay sir, I have supplemented the technologies listed by Yue Hualuo and restored them to the most basic data." It turned out that this voice came from the quantum supercomputer in the academy: Alpha, Radiation Plane Artificial intelligence has been developed for a long time, and the Alpha is one of the best. Although it is far from being comparable to Yuehua, it also has a good ability.

"Very well, I grant Adam and Gu Zhan the highest authority. After I leave, they will fully manage the academy and Xingxing City." Zhang Heng nodded.

However, just as Zhang Heng was about to leave, the 3D image of the Alpha flashed twice in mid-air, and he asked hesitantly, "Sir, can you really help me introduce the man named Yuehua? Computer?" (To be continued.)
