Chapter 978

"It is definitely impossible to manufacture exoskeletons with the few low-precision machine tools provided by the weapon factory, and the third-generation strong iron does not have sufficient protection capabilities..."

"You said that you want to set up a machinery factory. I will go down and study this matter, and I will tell you when I find a suitable candidate."

Lu Kuan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was the most important thing to make some exoskeleton armor to improve combat effectiveness.

After all, the next natural disaster is imminent, and there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.

"It's easy to choose a candidate. I asked Chen Shen to collect some data. You can read it first and then decide."

From the desk pocket under the desk, Su Mo took out some papers and handed them over.

I have to say that the decision to rob a group of talents with the Tundra Refuge at that time was absolutely correct.

Those with high-tech reserves, without the corresponding manufacturing machinery in ordinary territories, naturally cannot play the slightest role. At best, they can only be regarded as ordinary people with a little stronger hands-on ability.

But with the tools in hand, their potential is instantly available.

"Well, can build helicopters, major in aerospace... not bad."

"Hey, this one is actually a major in heavy machinery and electrical. This is also a good seed."

"..."

Flipping through the information recorded on the paper, Lu Kuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Burying talents in repetitive physical labor is something that cannot be done in difficult times.

Now the Tianyuan Territory gradually got rid of the most basic food resource needs, and began to take root in this strange land.

As long as these talents can be arranged in the right position, they can play a great role.

Coupled with the help of the route, basically as long as you are willing to work hard, it is a bright road to progress.

The most typical representative of them is Spicy Hammer. After this guy chooses a mechanical apprentice, as long as it is steel and tools produced by the Dream Iron and Steel Plant, he can gain a little bit of experience from it.

And although this experience is not like several other routes, which can suddenly increase a person's level by several levels in a short period of time, as the number of output increases over time, his mechanical apprentice level has now reached Lv4, even about to touch LV5, is already a player at the top of the route.

The attribute points given by the upgrade give Spicy Hammer stronger thinking ability and physical fitness.

And after the route level is increased, those weird abilities that may be born are also one of the important indicators to measure a player's strength.

After explaining to Lu Kuan that he must screen out the candidates for the machinery factory as soon as possible and build the first integrated "mother of industry" in the territory, Su Mo found Su Deben with the plan in hand.

The previous restructuring reduced the number of Tianyuan Army to just over a hundred people.

After experiencing a battle and seeing the rapid growth rate of reserve soldiers in the war, Su Mo decided to raise the number again, adding it to 350.

In this way, counting the manpower of the security department in the village, the total number of standing combatants in the territory reached 700.

According to the current population ratio, it has exceeded 5%, which is considered a relatively high level.

...

Plans related to defense have been deployed.

In time for the best light at noon, Sumo came to the sixteenth plantation area.

Starting five kilometers northwest of Hope Village, the stretch of green land becomes the only color between heaven and earth.

Walking through the mist, the villagers who chose the farmer's route are busy walking around, taking care of the status of each plant.

It stands to reason that as long as the crops are planted, their vitality should be very tenacious.

But in the wasteland, no one knows what will happen.

In order to prevent accidents with this life-saving food, there are people guarding it almost 24 hours a day.

Armed Hope Village Guards also patrol the perimeter of the plantation, making sure as much as possible that no outsiders can break into it.

"Plantation No. 1 will reach maturity in at most two months, which is much faster than we expected."

With a naked upper body, "Chicken Blood Surging", who won the bid for the No. 1 plantation qualification, walked to the field and reported to Sumo in detail the latest situation of the planting area.

"At first, we thought that this fog cut off the sunlight, which would cause the plants to dry up, and the whole roots would be gradually corrupted by microorganisms and lose their vitality. But in fact, after a long period of observation, we found that the impact of this thousand phantom fog is actually It's not big, it's almost as if it doesn't exist."

"On the contrary, the growth rate of crops will increase to a certain extent under such humid and low-heat conditions."

In the current situation where there is no way to drink water in the territory, the main crops of this plantation are wheat and corn.

It has been about two months since the planting, and the green wheat is already as high as a human calf.

And those corns have already grown thick tangerines with dark blue tassels on them.

"Thank you for your hard work. Your efforts during this period will be rewarded when the harvest comes."

To be honest, Sumo couldn't suppress his emotions the first time he saw the vast farmland that couldn't be covered by the fog.

The starch manufacturing machine and the protein reaction machine have indeed brought human productivity to a level, and no longer rely so much on the right time and place to obtain sufficient food from the land.

But as long as a disaster suddenly falls in the game, the "energy" of all the aborigines will be discounted.

It is enough to foresee what kind of challenges those aborigines who have long lost their farming skills will encounter.

Feeling that Su Mo's expression had some extra meaning, he paused for a while, then changed his words with a smile:

"My lord, this is what we should do. After all, even if people in other places want to farm like us, they don't have such a stable time and space to do so."

"In addition, we are ready to fight against foreign enemies. If someone dares to destroy our plantation, everyone here will fight them to the end!"

Players of the farmer route want to upgrade, they can only gain experience from the land through the continuous planting process.

Among them, the experience gained is far greater than all the previous steps.

If someone destroys the farmland, it is against all farmers and kills their way to upgrade.

Su Mo nodded.

"During this time, I will send people to strengthen the patrol strength in this area to ensure that no accidents will happen."

"Thank you Lord!"

"Don't worry, the second planting area I contracted has already started supplying the village."

Ji Xue Pao scratched his head, and took out a palm-sized white square plant from his trouser pocket.

This is a special variety that was plundered by the dwarves before, and it tastes a bit like a human radish.

But in terms of specific taste, this white square is much hotter than radish.

If the red spider caravan could leave two days later, this thing might be able to replace the wild vegetables collected before and become the main force of the new kimchi.

"I named this thing: Fang Caitou, would you like to try it?"

Su Mo took it, wiped the dirt on it, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

hiss.

It's a bit spicy, but it's surprisingly full of moisture.

After eating it whole, the pungent taste rushed down the throat.

After about half a minute, the burning sensation gradually subsided.

"If this thing can be made into kimchi, it should be very good to eat with dry food."

"It can be a variety of points, we regard it as a reserve material."

Facts have proved that unless this thing is poisonous, there is no way to eat it that humans cannot develop.

Leaving the first two plantations where blood was surging, Sumo inspected the next fourteen in turn.

Overall, the growth is gratifying.

The current potential value of the Tianyuan Territory has skyrocketed to 69 after spending hundreds of points in total.

Compared with 3925, which ranked first, there is still a huge gap, but it is more than a little better than when it first arrived.

In addition, the fertile land is now the first crop to grow, and the fertility in it is still abundant.

"As long as we can persist for two months, it will definitely be no problem to pile up those granaries with the harvested grain!"

With food in hand, don't panic.

With more grain reserves, more currency can be issued to stimulate the market economy.

And wait until the machinery factory is completed, and the energy stone engine can be mass-produced.

Sumo intends to make a batch of vehicles, expand the scanning radius of the territory as much as possible, and search for and bring back more players to join the territory.

Of course, in order to prevent the villagers from having too much currency in their hands, causing malicious inflation in the prices in the territory, Zero, as a data monitor, will still use 48 hours as a period to calculate the consumption rate of materials and the productivity ratio, and convert the currency The expansion rate is controlled within a reasonable specific gravity.

As for the fact that some people obtained the total amount of currency enough to hit the market through some means, Sumo also reserved a solution.

The Tianyuan Dungeon is still empty up to now.

Tens of thousands of people want to be the first to move into it, and they can use some value-added services to hedge the excess currency.

As for more...

Just let go of restrictions on personal bullet purchases and develop access to explore beyond your territory.

These consumables will also offset part of the impact of inflation, and continue to drive the economy of the entire territory to flourish.

"If it's not number zero, it would be a bit of a headache for me to regulate the economy alone."

After touching the naughty little cube in his pocket, Su Mo went home and returned to his office in the dungeon.

The projection of No. 0 mapped dense data on the wall, and by the way, it also predicted the next development trend.

In general, the current development of the territory has temporarily entered a bottleneck period.

All agricultural production has also reached the stage of grinding time, and it takes about two months to wait for it to enter the mature stage.

All industrial manufacturing has gone through the initial difficult stage, with basic production capacity, but the total volume has not completely crossed over to the semi-assembly line mechanical production mode, and a large amount of basic equipment is urgently needed to meet the demand.

There are more and more metal materials piled up behind the village. Even if a lot is supplied to the red spider caravan, the continuous consumption can no longer keep up with the speed of collection.

Coupled with the diverse life needs of the villagers, such as new clothes, new bedding, more delicious food, more powerful weapons, etc...

In this case, Zero gave a suggestion that was not a suggestion.

Stablize.

In its view, the best way is to stabilize the situation and avoid major changes.

External conflicts should be dealt with coldly if possible, and it is best to put them aside temporarily for later.

Even if the other party really wants to erupt a conflict, it can be delayed as long as it can, and it must not be erupted in the current time period.

However, after looking at the disaster countdown on the upper right corner of the game panel, Su Mo sighed slightly.

The idea of ​​number zero is good.

But the game has already calculated everything.

In less than forty-eight hours, the return of all things disaster for the Aboriginal people will arrive.

Located near Sunny Harbor City, I want to stay out of the...

How easy is it?

...

Two days later.

boom.

The muffled sound of thunder echoed on the wasteland, accompanied by sporadic raindrops that sprinkled mist and moistened the soil.

Some terrified radiation creatures hide in all directions in fear, guarding against possible dangers that may erupt around them.

Qinggang City, the northern suburbs.

In front of the dilapidated industrial park, the lightning wall that was blasted away was not repaired immediately.

After judging the difficulty of the restoration, the engineers at Sunny Harbor Sanctuary chose to clean up only the debris that had fallen on the ground, casually revealing a large, unsightly gap.

The reason is very simple. The most important reason for building this wall is to prevent those big forces in the neighboring city.

Now that the world has changed, Qinggang City is alone, and ninety-nine percent of threats are gone.

Naturally, there is no need to repair this wall immediately. The most important task at present is to use the only materials to restore production in the industrial area behind.

The muffled thunder rang a few more times, and as the rain began to intensify.

In the industrial area behind the gap, people began to line up to go out to the simple tents in the open space outside the wall.

With heavy shackles on their feet, they were in groups of eight, with a pitiful distance of less than one meter.

Some people walk fast, some people walk slowly.

Those who are slow will be staggered involuntarily and fall to the ground in a daze.

And around these teams, the soldiers of Sunshine Harbor Refuge, armed with live ammunition and wearing exoskeleton armor, were watching coldly.

Occasionally, a few teams walked slowly, and they strode forward and smashed the butts of their guns on the leader's back.

"Damn pigs, quickly lift your right foot and go back to the tent."

"If someone gets sick from the rain, we won't pay you even a little bit of medicine."

"Before paying all the debts to those damn looters."

"The lives of all of you are the private property of our Clear Harbor Sanctuary!"

He kicked a middle-aged man bitterly, and looked at the terrified eyes of a half-grown child behind him.

The exoskeleton soldier laughed happily, and the irritability of being scolded for several days in a row could not help but subside.

"Go away now?!"

Seeing that the soldier was about to kick again, the middle-aged man was writhing and trying to get up from the ground.

But what surprised him was that the moment his palm touched the ground, obvious vibrations seemed to be continuously coming from the ground.

?

earthquake?

Feeling the direction of the vibration, the man raised his head dully and looked into the distance.

In the thick fog, he seemed to see black lines appearing rapidly.

And as the magnitude of the vibration increases, it becomes more and more obvious.

That is...

...
