Chapter 947
No one expected that this kind of thing would happen when the Red Spider Caravan took over the largest order since its establishment.
The three of them felt a little heavy, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Every industrial core is a treasure of human wisdom integrated in the pre-war era.
Its function is somewhat similar to that of a modular device. After the industrial manufacturing level reaches a certain level, the tasks that should have been completed by several devices are concentrated on one machine.
The operation method is also simple, according to the core requirements, input materials foolishly, connect the energy source, and wait for a while to take out the finished product.
However, the difference is that the modular device is more advanced. Even if some modules are damaged, the functions of other modules will not be affected, and tasks can still be performed. And once there is a problem inside the industrial core, even if a small part is damaged, it will cause the entire process to stop and it can no longer be used.
Of course, compared to the complete inability to repair the damaged modules, or even disassembly, the industrial core has considered subsequent maintenance issues from the very beginning, and has set up an excellent self-inspection system.
When internal damage occurs, the self-inspection program will not only mark the specific location, but also give the corresponding different maintenance methods for the user's reference.
Therefore, the industrial core is also divided into several standard grades in Blue Star.
Not much to say about the integrity.
Those with a damage degree of less than 30% are called semi-abandoned, and have a very high repair value.
If the damage degree is higher than 50%, it is called a completely abandoned state, and the difficulty of maintenance can be called rebuilding one.
The Red Spider caravan traveled with a large sum of money this time, and before they set off, they specially purchased two Red Spider chariots and installed combination modules to strengthen their transportation and defense capabilities. The long-standing semi-abandoned industrial core.
In the past two years, they have collected the purchase channels for replacement parts in advance, and also purchased a piece of land around the foundation.
You only need to go back to the Foundation headquarters, purchase parts and repair this industrial core.
The Red Spider caravan can gradually transform from a wandering land caravan to a semi-industrial caravan, relying on the core products to obtain a steady stream of income.
But now, that dream seems to be shattered.
Coming to this strange world, it is still unclear how much of the previously negotiated channels can be retained.
But what is certain is that this semi-abandoned industrial core will definitely become a hot potato right now.
Take it out and sell it?
According to the foundation's acquisition standards, at least two-thirds of the blood loss was invested, which is equivalent to the caravan working for nothing a few years ago.
Why don't you take it out and sell it?
It cannot be repaired in your hand, and you have to bear the risk of being watched in vain.
Rainy night.
Sometimes silence is the best language.
Sean took out his hand that was under the table, and gently placed it on the car window, moving down following the trajectory of the raindrops.
Snapped.
Snapped.
The wind blew and the raindrops slapped randomly.
Just like his mood, it was also volatile like this raindrop.
After a long while, Xiao En didn't know what he had figured out, and his free eyes suddenly became firm.
He turned his head to look at Luke and Joseph who were still outside the fugue, and said firmly:
"The industrial core cannot be sold for the time being. This is our re-emerging capital, no matter whether it can be repaired or not."
"In addition, even if the channels collected before are gone now, we can continue to collect, at most it will take some time."
"But... if we want to collect parts, isn't that the same as telling others that we have a core?" Joseph said with a slightly hesitant expression, and couldn't help but glanced at the patrol team passing by not far from the car window.
It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Compared with the lazy guards of the caravan, they all retracted into the car to rest when it rained.
The soldiers in this strange refuge are simply dedicated and perverted, and they are still meticulously patrolling the border.
If the weapons in their hands were not too backward, the gap between the two sides would be huge.
The Josephs asked themselves, absolutely unable to maintain the current attitude towards strangers wandering around the caravan.
"Don't worry, didn't we always do this when we inquired about channels?"
"Besides, compared with other caravans this time, we are not unlucky."
"At least before we set off, we upgraded all our weapons and prepared enough armaments and logistics for several tough battles."
Sean's tone was mixed with comfort, but his attitude was still firm.
"We can go to gathering places like Tianyuan Refuge and ask them to help find them. They don't know the industrial core, and they don't know the purpose of our search for repair parts."
"Go to a few more places, and there will always be gains."
"I wish."
Seeing that Xiao En had said so, Joseph stopped expressing contradictory opinions and made a gesture of support.
Luke, who was injured, had no other opinions. Besides, he was already so sleepy that his scalp was numb to survive the gunshot wound.
The three of them hastily agreed on the deployment situation for the next few days, and then went back to their respective bedrooms to sleep deeply.
...
the next day.
After a rainy night, a rare sunny day.
Of course, with the presence of the Myriad Illusory Fog that spread throughout the New World, the presence of the sun just raised the temperature a bit.
In terms of body feeling, it is still sticky.
The efficiency of the Red Spider Caravan was very high, and they quickly sent someone to send a list, which was filled with items that could be traded.
The person in charge of negotiating with the refuge is Walter, the purchasing manager of the Red Spider Caravan.
He is not tall, just over 1.6 meters.
But the figure is close to 180 kilograms, walking on the road like a round ball.
"Dear Tianyuan manager, this is all the goods that our caravan can sell to the outside world at present."
"Don't worry about the price, you won't be able to find anything cheaper than ours in the entire wasteland."
Walter smiled modestly, and took out an A4-sized album from his purse.
"There are so many?"
Su Mo took it in surprise, and found that there were more than 20 pages in the booklet that recorded the items, and his eyes stared straight away.
Open it and read it.
Each product on the catalog has basic text introduction and illustrations.
Probably the other party discovered that the weapons in Tianyuan Territory are very "old", and also confirmed that the surrounding environment has changed, and weapons and equipment will be the next hot item.
The first few pages of the album turned out to be full of ammunition!
From the most basic pistols, submachine guns, rifles, to enhanced machine guns, sniper rifles, and grenade guns.
From shoulder-resistant RPGs to anti-aircraft artillery that can be installed on the ground.
Under the words Rare, Su Mo even saw an electromagnetic rifle shining with silver light!
It's not cheap though.
The string of "9" numbers was obviously released by this group of people to make him greedy.
But this red spider caravan is like a walking arsenal. Even when the Tianyuan Territory had the largest ammunition reserves before, it was not more than one-tenth of the amount that could be traded in this atlas.
but...
"Only weapons, no ammunition?"
"Yes, we can sell a batch of weapons to your shelter, but ammunition is currently in short supply, and you need to solve it yourself."
Walter explained sternly:
"Because we are still not sure how long it will take to return to the Foundation headquarters, so in order to prevent possible risks on the way back, we have to prepare more ammunition with us, please understand."
"But as long as we can go back successfully, you can rest assured that we will definitely bring sufficient ammunition next time."
Good guy.
The pancake was well drawn too.
If there is ammunition to buy, Sumo would like to exchange all the materials that can be traded in the territory now, and then let the madman weapon factory run at full capacity to arm the militia in the territory as much as possible.
but no ammo...
Isn't it equivalent to a fire stick when you buy these guns?
Wanting Tianyuan Territory to exchange existing resources for something that is not needed, does the Red Spider Caravan think his head is stupid?
Skipping these "useless" things, Su Mo continued to look back patiently.
Enter the daily necessities food category.
Perhaps the automatic reaction furnace on the Starscream Chariot can be manufactured locally, and the prices of daily necessities on the list can be regarded as affordable in terms of the laborers' daily income.
There are not many commodities that can be exchanged for the purchasing power of a mere commodity certificate.
It can be exchanged for a top and trousers made of polyester fiber, or a dozen ten-packs of Band-aids.
You can buy some basic condiments, such as salt, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, chicken essence, etc.
You can also buy some delicate small items, such as screwdrivers, facial swabs, thermos cups, sewing boxes, sockets and so on.
And on to the food item.
Seeing the several best-selling items highlighted on the first page, Su Mo couldn't help being taken aback.
"Wait, do you have the technology to synthesize starch, protein, and glucose?"
on the list.
A commercial coupon can actually buy a full 600g of starch, which is equivalent to about 800g based on the composition of rice.
And the item of protein is even more outrageous. Can you buy 300g with one coupon?
What is this concept?
The protein content of chicken is only about 20%, and 100g can extract 20g of protein.
According to the salary of two commercial coupons per person per day, the protein that can be bought is equivalent to extracting 3kg of chicken.
At this price, if it was directly extracted from meat, the Red Spider Caravan might lose money.
"Yes, we have a complete set of industrial preparation technology. As long as enough raw materials can be collected and the energy supply is sufficient, basically there is no need to worry about food and drink."
"If you buy these basic ingredients, if the quantity is large, we can also discount on the basis of the purchase."
Walter explained softly.
It is not uncommon to use carbon dioxide hydrogenation to synthesize starch and carbon monoxide to synthesize protein. These technologies can be synthesized through several steps of chemical reactions without using biological systems at all, and only using chemical catalysts.
As early as the Blue Star pre-war era, it has been praised in many places, replacing the ancient agriculture and animal husbandry.
For example, the gopher old shelters in Qinggang City are equipped with similar production machines. Even after more than two hundred years, they can still guarantee the stable consumption of internal residents.
Of course, a premise is very important.
There must be enough energy!
Hydrogen gas in the synthesis of starch is a very high-energy substance, and it takes a lot of energy to extract hydrogen gas from water.
If there is not enough cheap and easy-to-use energy, even if you master this technology, it will be difficult to use it.
By the same token, the energy of carbon monoxide is much higher than that of carbon dioxide, and the production of carbon monoxide also requires a lot of energy.
Moreover, its synthesis method is not purely chemical, but uses biological strains, that is, fermentation. In this process, a sufficiently stable environment is required to ensure the growth of the strains, and the energy consumption is huge.
However, for the foundation that has initially mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, energy can be said to be inexhaustible.
The chariot of the Red Spider Caravan is equipped with a nuclear generator, which contains a 3kg helium tri-fuel rod.
Based on the fact that 1 kilogram of helium-3 can generate 19 megawatts of energy, this thing can output a total of nearly 60,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
It is too much to say that it is open to manufacturing, but at least it is true that there is no need to worry about food and drink.
"If you need more than just these basic ingredients, but the technology to make it, we sell that as well."
"Of course, we don't have any redundant sales of the corresponding production equipment."
"If you can return to the foundation headquarters and you need it again, we can bring it over for the next transaction."
Walter's attitude is very enthusiastic, like those door-to-door salesmen in the civilized age.
In fact, technology is indeed the least valuable thing in Blue Star.
In times of peace and prosperity, knowledge is a valuable means of production, and knowledge can be exchanged for countless money.
But in the wasteland of the last days, for ordinary people, this thing is not as important as a piece of paper to wipe their ass.
Just like jewelry made of gold, what is valuable is not the shape, pattern, or pattern, but the gold itself.
Even in Gopher Old's sanctuary, education is a leisurely luxury enjoyed only by a select few.
For those who don't even have basic theoretical knowledge, even if they are given a detailed explanation of nuclear fusion.
Could it be that these people can really use the pickaxes, axes, and hands in their hands to rub them out?
Don't be funny.
Technical barriers are a naked act of the weak, and they are a means of self-protection for fear that the other party will threaten them.
A powerful foundation does not restrict the outflow of technology from the very beginning, as long as it is a mature technology, it allows caravans to bring it to the outside world for sale.
They only need to sell the corresponding devices, and they can harvest a lot of labor and earn a lot of money.
as he said.
Su Mo continued to scroll down, and finally saw these "techniques" listed in different categories.
The Red Spider Caravan thoughtfully translated the name of the tongue-twister technique, which looks very intuitive.
In addition to the three major synthesis technologies of starch monosaccharide and protein, there are many high-tech technologies that are refreshing when you hear their names.
"Pipeline Capsule Transportation System", "Holographic Projection Assist", "Brain Enhancement Kit", "Individual Anti-Gravity Flight", "Cold Fusion Energy Technology"...
From front to back, dozens of novel technologies combined with text descriptions seem to have knocked on the door of a new world.
Pausing for a moment, Su Mo suppressed the urge to exchange it.
Make bricks without straw.
No matter how mature the technology is for the foundation, it is still a mountain with no top in sight for the Tianyuan Territory, which is still in the Bronze Age.
Just like cold nuclear fusion, even if the principle is known, there are still thousands of problems waiting to be produced to produce the corresponding device.
Instead of exchanging these things now, it is better to exchange for something real.
like...
"Hey, is the exoskeleton armor also for sale?"
"Why does this look familiar?"
...
The three of them felt a little heavy, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
