Chapter 971

After the trial, the two machines were brought out together.

The generous Sean did not give a choice between the two, but "borrowed" all of them for Tianyuan Refuge to use.

According to him, this machine will only pay the corresponding price when Tianyuan Refuge has enough funds in the future.

However, judging from the attitude of not even signing the contract, ninety-nine out of ten plans to directly donate it to the shelter as an earnest money.

And 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 ask for other conditions insatiably.

Inviting Xiao En to the reception room built by the temporary team, Su Mo cleared his throat, and reminded secretly according to the maximum value obtained from repeated tests in the ruins:

"Your Excellency Sean, if you want to return to the headquarters of the foundation, I'm afraid you have to speed up."

"According to our experience living in this land, it won't be long before a disaster beyond the imagination of ordinary people will erupt here."

"Believe me, he will give you a subversive understanding of this world."

It does not say exactly what will happen, does not say the specific time, and the scope of the disaster.

This is the game's biggest limitation on speech.

Unlike Peng Qiu's self-confidence, probably due to his walk in the mountains, Xiao En is much more cautious in this regard.

"Disaster? Can you tell me exactly what will happen?"

"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 won't be able to tell you more detailed information."

"All right."

I didn't expect such unexpected news.

Sean seemed a little hesitant, but after a while, he nodded silently and didn't ask any more questions.

"Speaking of which, during this period of time, I also sent people to observe and collect general information on this land, and analyzed the soil structure. The soil here is very strange. It was born in less than a year, but it has constructed Such unbelievable topography and landforms are simply against 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 breaking out again, this will be the best chance for our Blue Star humans to return to the ground."

"Maybe, but it's also possible that after a while, more people will move underground."

Su Mo joked with a smile.

"I will arrange for more people to provide materials to you as soon as possible. If you have other needs, please let me know."

"No problem." After getting along for a while, Sean also figured out the character of the man in front of him, with a happy smile on his face, and stretched out his right hand, "I wish our food plan a smooth implementation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

...

The scavengers who went to Qinggang City to collect calming powder have not yet returned. This outpost camp established on the border of the territory is empty and a little deserted.

After leaving here, Sumo quickly returned to the village and went to the already large-scale food processing and manufacturing factory.

This is the project he approved in the first wave of six contracts.

At that time, it was to better store village resources and make them into a variety of food for use in different scenarios.

Fortunately, the first big order came from the Red Spider Caravan.

Packaging cans.

This thing really has no technical content.

Most of the three no foods in the 1990s came from the category of canned food.

Anyway, the Starscream Chariot can be refrigerated at ultra-low temperature, so it only needs to be sterilized and sealed in a high-seal package.

Not long after, when Su Mo came to the gate of the factory named "Hyperdimensional Food Processing Base".

The low-key factory manager "Lonely Square Root Three" has already waited behind the gate in advance.

He was not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall, and his face was covered with creases from forty years.

But you can tell by the name of the food factory and the nickname of his showy channel.

This guy has a younger mentality than a young man!

"Lord, you are here, and our factory will be officially put into operation in a few days." Square Root Three smiled and said, "We have already ordered a few units from the weapon factory for packaging. The machine will definitely be able to complete the task you entrusted.”

Customizing the machine with the weapon factory, why does this become more and more strange the more I hear it.

Su Mo secretly wrote it down in his heart, but he didn't say much, and his expression didn't change at all.

It seems that after the machine tool for producing firearms 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 manager, anyway, the maniac of the end of the world is idle, just let him take the lead first, and then look for candidates later.

Walk into this factory area covering an area of ​​about 150 mu.

The two workshops built with cement concrete and steel frames are all assets of the entire processing plant.

"Because of the consideration of long-distance transportation, even if we use the manufacturing machines provided by the weapon factory, they can't meet the high sealing standard at all, and the steel factory doesn't have enough production capacity for us. A large number of iron cans are provided, so glass or ceramics can only be used for loading and transportation.”

"As for glass, the Empire Building Materials Factory doesn't have enough capacity to provide it, so only ceramics are left..."

In the factory building on the left, there are already workers building furnaces required for batch firing of ceramics.

Next to the furnace, there is a mold used as a standard.

The appearance is very rough, it is a vase-shaped narrow-mouth bottle, and then the inside of the bottle is vacuumed by a machine, and an oil seal or water seal is used to ensure airtightness.

For those who cannot meet the sealing standard of iron cans, this method is the most cost-effective and the best one.

"In addition, since we don't know how many days it will take to arrive, the choice of food can no longer be based on taste. For example, stir-fried vegetables, even if we use vacuum transportation for this thing, once it takes more than fourteen days, it will definitely Because the internal self-reaction of the dish produces corruption, which greatly affects the taste."

"Steamed buns and pastries can be stored for a longer period of time, but the taste is much less bland. After a long time, the taste stored inside will gradually dissipate. It will not achieve the effect you want, Lord."

From receiving the notification last night to this afternoon.

In less than a day, root number three's professional ability has been highlighted, the market research is very clear, and the advantages and disadvantages of making food into cans are analyzed.

"You can't bring either of these, so isn't our choice very passive?"

Su Mo frowned, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

The chef's apprentice route is not uncommon.

In many human territories that have chosen the main route of 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 the 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 can click on the cornerstone of the route to activate this special taste ability.

This time will not be too long.

And the gap in the middle is when the Tianyuan Territory takes advantage.

If you can grasp it, then you will continue to form crushing until you establish an insurmountable advantage.

If you can't grasp it, it will definitely be much more difficult to compete in the market in the future than it is now.

"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 prefabricated dishes can only achieve 80% or even less of the taste of food."

"So, I was wondering...since they don't require the type of food, can we make some food that naturally lasts longer."

"for example?"

"pickle!"

Square root raised his eyebrows, and immediately proved his identity: "Lord, my hometown is in the Northeast. Even if we don't store pickles, they can keep their flavor for at least a few months."

"If we adopt vacuum sealing, it will be even better. It can completely preserve 99% of the taste of the food. Even after it is transported there, it may be even more delicious than freshly marinated." Root Number Three patted his chest. Packed the ticket and said: "As long as you are willing to believe in me, I will take out the secret recipe left by my grandma, and I will definitely conquer this group of old folks who have never seen the market."

It's okay to compare the Blue Stars to the village elders.

The technology and weapons possessed by the opponent are terrifying, but only in terms of food, it seems to have stepped into a barren desert.

Think of the scene of transporting pickles to the Foundation headquarters, or other large gathering places.

Su Mo looked at the man in front of him approvingly, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Pickles are indeed a good thing, which can minimize our transportation pressure this time."

"Wait until the production line is more complete in the future, and then consider producing more types to make a name for yourself. It's not bad."

It takes at least three months for the Red Spider caravan to come and go.

For these three months, it is not a problem to rely on the productivity of that machine tool territory to increase to a higher level.

"Let's do it according to this, get through the channels as soon as possible to start the production line, and supply the goods to the Red Spider Caravan as soon as possible."

"Remember, we must guarantee the quality and quantity of the first batch of goods."

He took out a signed "cheque" from his pocket, and Su Mo handed it over.

The square root number three took it over and looked at it, and immediately beamed with joy.

Get rich!

The first order received by the food processing factory was a big one, with a total purchase of 20,000 catties of pickles.

According to the unit price of 8.2 iron coins per catty, including the packaging, Su Mo gave the unit price of ten iron coins...

The income from this order is 20,000 copper coins!

Good guy, even if you leave aside the raw materials and labor costs, as well as the fees paid to the apprentice chef.

The food processing factory can also earn at least 20,000 iron coins, which is already twice the initial loan!

Of course, root number three did not take into account the purchase price of the machine tool, nor did it carefully calculate where the income would eventually flow back.

Walking out of the gate of the factory area, 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 a catty of pickles should only be 6.5 iron coins, and 20,000 catties is a total of 13,000 copper coins. Why did you oversend so much... "

"Haha, don't you understand?"

"Yes, in the logic I have learned, the balance between cost and selling price does not involve this part. It tells me that if you disrupt the market indiscriminately like you for a long time, it will only make the market Pushed to an uncontrollable peak, and then declined heavily."

"Decline? It's rare that you can't understand."

Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, and took Number Zero out of his pocket.

At this time, the small square seemed to be filled with great 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 hyperspace food processing base or the Empire Building Materials Factory next door , As long as it comes to a critical moment, I have the right to withdraw their funds, so there is no possibility of excessive issuance out of control."

"Secondly, as long as we can open up the food trade route of the territory through Xiao En, the processing plant will definitely receive more and more orders in the future. If the scale is not enough by then, it will be equivalent to the ducks in hand flying away. .So I support giving them more funds, and it is also for the sake of the foreign exchange that the territory will receive in the future.”

"Third, the premise of calculating expenses is that we need to calculate income."

The breeding plan has greatly improved the productivity of the territory, and the reserves of resources are doubling almost every day.

Compared with the daily high salary expenditure, those resources recovered from mining 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 overpaid with credit, entering a vicious circle.

Therefore, only by using currency to continuously improve productivity and generate greater demand in the market can the trading environment be pushed into a virtuous circle.

"So your behavior is...inflation to stimulate 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?"

Number Zero rolled over in the palm of his hand half-understood.

As a nascent artificial intelligence, he is now like a blank sheet of paper, and any knowledge can leave a strong mark.

However, it has not waited for it to continue to express its own opinions.

Suddenly, in the sky at the end of the field of vision, there was a faint and violent explosion sound.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the sound, the huge shock wave shattered the thick fog that filled the air.

It's like a human hand stirring in a water tank, and the fog around the belt produces huge ring-shaped ripples that spread out.

"This is..."

Realizing that it was in the direction of Qinggang City, Su Mo showed a look of astonishment on his face.

At the same time, the private message on the game interface suddenly beeped, and a private message from Brother Male Gun came over:

"Lord, it's not good."

"In the direction of the wandering jungle in the eastern suburbs of the city, a nuclear bomb has exploded!"

...
