Chapter 332 Mineral Resources Distribution Map
The three of them came to the slave trading area in the outer ring together. After Jiang Chen paid 20,000 sub crystals, the thousand slaves were transferred to his name. Led by the fishbone soldiers, these ragged slaves walked towards the underground passage.
They will be taken to Fishbone Base, where they will receive three months of military training. If they pass the assessment, they will get rid of their status as slaves and become inferior citizens and join the army. As for those who fail the assessment, they will be sent to the colony for production.
After receiving the crystal, Hu Youde bowed exaggeratedly to Jiang Chen, then walked away with his waist hooked.
"I bought this thing in a shop in the sixth street...do you know the origin of this thing?" Pulling Zhao Chenwu aside, Jiang Chen took out the bag of bullet shells and asked straight to the point.
"Shell Valley? I know this stuff. It wasn't until my caravan left Suhang Province that I realized that this wasteland is bigger than we imagined. In the land of Jingchu 600 kilometers away, the survivors there They are all planting this kind of grain. It was also recently that this kind of grain came here along the trade route." Looking at the grain the size of a bullet casing, Zhao Chenwu smiled wryly.
"How's the output of this thing?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.
"The yield is very objective, but the soil quality requirements are very strict. Only those with pollution degree and radiation value below 20 can be planted. There is basically no such soil in Wanghai City. Even in the Jingchu area, this kind of soil can be planted." There are not many farms for crops. Although it can be grown with CNC planting towers, the cost will be high.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Chenwu paused, stretched out his hand and grabbed a few bullet shells from the valley.
"This kind of shell grain starch is mixed with several special vegetable proteins, so the structure is relatively tight. If it is steamed into rice, the outside is usually rotten, but the inside may still be raw. So this kind of shell grain is generally It is ground into flour, and then mixed with butter refined from a different kind of meat to make bread or biscuits, or simply used to make wine. My caravan has seen these things in Wushi, and when I saw that they can produce food. ...To be honest. I was surprised. I originally thought that only the Northern Union and some shelters could produce food. But I didn’t expect that someone would discover this edible mutant crop.”
Radiation has brought too many surprises to this land, just like no one knows what monsters will come out of the nuclear bomb crater, and no one knows what treasures may be hidden inside. When the plants of the old world cannot grow on this soil, there will inevitably be plants of the new world to replace them.
"Won't this mutated crop accumulate toxins?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
In his impression. Most of the plants on the wasteland cannot be used, the main reason is that the toxins in the soil will accumulate in the plants. This is why the mutated fruit cannot be eaten. The reason why it can only be used as the raw material of nutrition mixture.
"This shell valley is very special,
The toxins are basically accumulated in the chaff, so it can be eaten directly without throwing it into an organic conversion furnace. "Zhao Chenwu said with a sigh.
This is not good news. This kind of rice spread to Wanghai City along the trade route, and it is bound to have an impact on the grain business jointly monopolized by the Fishbone Base and the Zhao Group. Although this kind of thing is not as good as white rice in terms of texture and taste. But for the poor who cannot afford rice, it is still an option that can be used as a substitute.
Seeing Jiang Chen fell silent, Zhao Chenwu tentatively suggested.
"I once suggested that Chu Nan increase the tax rate of Shell Valley."
"Oh? His answer is?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Free trade." Zhao Chenwu spread his hands helplessly.
"His thoughts are the same as mine." Jiang Chen laughed.
"Alright then. After all, this is your business too." Seeing that Jiang Chen was not moved, Zhao Chenwu sighed. I didn't insist anymore.
Protective taxation is meaningless except to make the poor unable to eat this kind of shell valley. Even if they can't afford the shell grain, they may not necessarily consume food that they can't afford at all.
Objectively speaking. This kind of shell valley appeared in the sixth block, which was of great help to the growth of the population. Only enough food can feed more people. In the long run, the emergence of this shell valley will do more good than harm.
…
After bidding farewell to Zhao Chenwu, seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chen went to Paradise Island Hotel to rest for the night.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Chen returned to the Fishbone base by helicopter.
In front of the square in the community center, under the statue of the Mother of Death Claw, a thousand slaves stood in a dark crowd. The clothes on these slaves have been uniformly replaced with the military uniforms of the Fishbone Base. Although they feel a little uneasy about what is about to happen, they obviously have no room for resistance at gunpoint.
Cheng Weiguo was standing on the temporary inspection stand, giving lectures to these recruits, and announcing the rules of the Fishbone Base and the training plan for the next three months.
After bypassing the square, Jiang Chen went straight back to the villa, and then went to Yao Yao's room.
The bedroom door was open, and when Jiang Chen walked in, the little loli was sitting at the table tinkering with a mechanical helmet.
"Ah, big brother is here, what's the matter?" Yao Yao's eyes lit up when he noticed Jiang Chen, he took off the welding mask he was wearing on his face, and turned around happily.
The lotus root seems to be dangling on the edge of the chair with its calves, and the pale pink skirt is quite soft.
"Well, there's something wrong. What is it?" Jiang Chen said with a smile as he stepped forward to rub her little head.
"Brain wave nerve signal conversion device, if sister Xiaorou wears it, she will be able to walk without a wheelchair." Yao Yao said happily, squinting her long eyelashes in satisfaction.
"Really? That's really thanks to Yao Yao."
A shy blush appeared on Yao Yao's cheeks, and Yao Yao smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, it's mainly due to Lin Ling, I'm just in charge of processing the database and chips."
Lin Ling? I didn't expect that guy to be surprisingly considerate of others. Jiang Chen thought with some relief.
"Speaking of which, does Big Brother need Yao Yao's help?" Yao Yao blinked, looking up at Jiang Chen's face and asked.
"Well. Last time, Sun Jiao copied all the library databases to you, right? Can you check for me, and see if there is a map of mineral resources in it."
"Mineral resource distribution map? I'll look for it... fuck."
The little feet wrapped in white silk reached the slippers on the ground, Yao Yao slid on the computer chair to another computer desk, and quickly pressed a few buttons on the touchpad. A blue reading bar appeared in the center of the screen.
After half a minute, 37 search results popped up.
Jiang Chen stood behind Yao Yao, checking the pictures one by one, but he didn't see what he wanted.
"Why is it all regional output data...is there no specific information on the location of the deposit?" Jiang Chen smiled wryly.
"Woo...I'm sorry, I couldn't help you." Yao Yao lowered his head in frustration.
"No, it's not Yao Yao's fault. It may be that this kind of geological information is too sensitive and not included in the database of the city library." Jiang Chen hurriedly comforted him.
Think about it too, how could such critical material appear in a library that is open to everyone.
"...If the library doesn't have it, will the Wanghai City Geological Bureau have it?" Yao Yao suggested unwillingly.
Geological Bureau? That's a good idea.
"Can you find the location of the Geological Bureau before the war on your computer?" Jiang Chen asked.
The map in the EP is just an outline map, which can only identify floating train stations, airports, hospitals or more obvious landmarks.
"No problem, leave it to Yao Yao! There is a pre-war city map in the library's database...that's it." Saying that, Yao Yao had already pulled out the map and presented it on Jiang in front of Chen.
"Is it outside the city center?"
Looking at the red dot on the map, Jiang Chen faintly frowned. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
