Chapter 994 Reciprocate, the gopher market is coming!
Wasteland calendar year September 27th, Wednesday.
When the first ray of sunlight fell on the ground through the mist, the sleeping Hope Village also quietly woke up.
Logically speaking, the recent continuous high-pressure work is a double test both mentally and physically. During this long-lost holiday, many people should sleep until noon.
But in fact, the hands of the clock had just crossed seven o'clock, and the doors of the prefabricated houses were pushed open.
The excited villagers walked out of it, open their arms freely, and breathed in the fresh air.
Compared with a few days ago, the current Hope Village has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Since the market at the entrance of the village contributes daily management fee income and regular taxes for several factories.
I hope that the public accounts of the village will no longer be in short supply as it was a few months ago, and the wealth will increase day by day.
With money, Chen Shen, who is in charge of the village's development planning, was not stingy, and took the initiative to place orders for several large-scale infrastructure projects.
up to now.
The original gravel paths in the village have all been replaced with clean and tidy hardened concrete roads, and tall black columnar street lights have been set up on both sides with a boundary of 25 meters.
The two-story small bungalows made of reinforced concrete began to take shape, and they were neatly arranged in a row, and the number was no less than twenty.
Walking along the road into the village, there is a circular open space.
The statue of Oreo is placed in the center of the arena, surrounded by a man-high iron fence, which looks quite solemn.
Looking up and looking further away, it is the second phase of the Hope Village construction project that is under construction.
The buildings here are mainly one-story bungalow courtyards, which are residential areas to be established soon.
Following the architectural style of those in the western suburbs, each bungalow is not tightly attached to each other, but has a distance of more than ten meters.
So although the density is still not small, it doesn't look so depressing.
It won't take long, even if all the villagers still can't get enough points to move into the dungeon.
Here, you can also have your own independent space at a lower and more affordable price.
Of course, if there are residential areas, there will naturally be supporting commercial areas.
After every 200 bungalows, a commercial complex of about 2,000 square meters will be planned.
According to the construction standard of 1,000 rooms, there will be at least 10,000 square meters of commercial space here.
If it can be built according to Chen Shen's plan, Hope Village will no longer be at the level of a village, but will be changed into a town in a dignified manner, becoming the first collection of towns in the territory.
At this time, a few kilometers away from the village.
More than 20 humans in the standard gopher costumes and two quadricycles loaded with goods are slowly approaching.
Perhaps it was the first time they went to the world outside Qinggang City, and they were extremely curious.
Even the ordinary soil under the feet feels novel. From time to time, someone will lower their body and hold a handful, lovingly sniffing the special smell coming from it.
Next to the group, more than a dozen border guards with live ammunition followed.
However, neither party had any further contact, and the distance between them was about 50 meters, which looked more like an escort.
Go all the way, through the soft dirt road.
Looking at the "big construction site" gradually appearing in the dense fog ahead, Wang Qian's eyes widened, almost thinking that she was hallucinating.
"This is the Tianyuan Refuge?"
In my impression, there are very few shelters that expand their sphere of influence to the ground to form a scale.
With such a large site in Qinggang City, there are dozens of gophers, and only Qinggang Refuge has the strength to build a large-scale industrial zone on the ground.
But now, Wang Qian has to add one to this list.
In the village in the distance, although their outer walls are not as tall as the Lightning Wall, there is only one person at the highest point.
The roads in the village also look ordinary, without any sense of high technology.
Including those neat concrete houses and colorful tin houses, they also seem a little fragile.
But there is no denying that they do live above ground.
A completely different road from the gopher guy, this place is more like a large gathering place where stragglers gather and set up!
"Aren't they afraid of war?"
Thinking of Alder's instructions before leaving, Wang Qian became more and more curious.
Liehu wanted him to take this opportunity of coming to visit to investigate the other party's details.
Especially the defensive layout of this strange shelter, the strength of the soldiers, the industrial base and other factors that can determine the strength of the two shelters.
In the end, who would have thought that the other party would build the gathering place on the ground just like the Clear Harbor Refuge, and the scale had already reached thousands of people.
This is not the slightest bit of envy for the gopher who lacks a sense of security.
Especially on such a large plain that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, if troops come from all directions, the people inside will be trapped to death in this small area.
If you can't reach the level where Heqinggang Refuge can break the situation with hard power, you can only die slowly.
"Ahem. Floor chief, their industrial area is actually built on the ground."
The new deputy chief who was following Wang Qian coughed and pointed to the industrial zone that had been opened up next to the village.
over there.
Billowing black smoke that is not environmentally friendly is rising into the sky, mixing with the white mist like black snakes hiding in the water.
The rumbling sound, mixed with the blowing of the wind, was melodious and long like a horn.
Occasionally, a burst of white water vapor will be discharged to the side, as if it is working at a high temperature inside.
Wang Qian stood there staring blankly, and more than a dozen guards not far away also stopped.
For those who have lived in the three-dimensional underground for a long time, it is difficult to form this kind of planar concept in their minds.
From birth, most people accept the concept of a small room of 20 square meters, spiral upward and downward stairs, and an activity space of no more than 100 square meters.
Except for combatants, as long as ordinary civilians are not too unlucky, they may not have the opportunity to go to the ground until they become adults, to see the environment in which human beings originally lived and the dangers passed on by word of mouth.
Wang Qian still remembers the first time he went to the ground when he was eleven years old.
Following behind his father's broad back, he saw with his own eyes the dangerous aboveground world that everyone said.
There is an untouchable sky, and an invisible land.
There are towering buildings and buildings, and a wide river beside the Fifth Ring Road!
And from that day on, the longing for the world outside the shelter has taken root in his heart like a seed.
After returning to the ground, Wang Qian finally couldn't help telling his father what he thought.
Surprisingly, Wang's father, who was only a commoner at the time, did not refuse, but happily found a friend on another level.
At that time, Liu Li, who was already the deputy manager of the B-7 floor, and Liu Lu's father, asked him to find someone to help with the training.
Later, in the long five years.
From the most basic physical training, to the training of willpower, and then to learning the killing skills and marksmanship for fighting.
Finally, when the Pingtan shelter was in turmoil more than ten years ago, Wang Qian succeeded in taking the position by force and firmly secured the position of deputy director of the B-9 floor.
At this time, seeing the industrial zone on the ground in the distance, more and more memories began to flood in my mind.
After staying in place for several minutes, Wang Qian came back to his senses and let out a long sigh.
"How happy are the people who live here?"
The small underground cannot accommodate too many dreams and ambitions.
Countless potentialities and geniuses live in it, die in it, and spend their entire lives submerged in barren basic needs.
Before coming here, he had thought that this was also an equally powerful underground shelter.
But now, a trace of melancholy and happiness appeared in Wang Qian's heart at the same time.
Fortunately, in order to repay Liu Li's favor, Liu Lv was reminded at a critical moment.
The other party then reciprocated and sent an opportunity to help him deal with the layer chief of the B-9 floor last night.
And find a way to operate, so that he became the person who went to Tianyuan Refuge for diplomacy this time.
This is a force that can be deeply friends!
With an idea secretly in her heart, the resistance in Wang Qian's heart began to quickly disappear for Liu Lu's previous introductions and recommendations that sounded unreliable.
Indeed, this place is much more civilized than the Flat Beach Refuge.
They can at least allow residents to freely come to the ground for activities, life, and production.
It is not necessary to forcibly allocate 14 hours of time within 24 hours a day to perform repetitive tasks that are meaningless and just to kill energy.
It might be a good choice to join Liu Lu's team and set his back lane here.
With this in mind, the team moved on.
About a few hundred meters away, the villagers in the village also found a strange visitor.
What surprised Wang Qian was that he didn't see the slightest look of vigilance on the faces of these people, nor did he see any resistance.
Even... many people were surprised and cheered.
"Holy shit, Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, the market for this gopher guy is really here??!"
"Look at their two cars, are they carrying any souvenirs?"
"I heard that these aborigines have a lot of high-tech gadgets. It would be great if I could exchange a few of them back."
"Ahem, restrain yourself, don't scare others."
"Afraid of a hammer, and they can't understand what we say."
"Hurry up and open up the stalls, this is our best chance to sell products!"
A language with a completely different pronunciation from the Blue Star language was heard, and Wang Qian was a little confused.
But judging by their excited looks, they seem to be welcoming?
The residents of the shelter actually welcome outsiders who don't know the details and have no dealings with them?
This was simply too surprising, not only Wang Qian was stunned, but even the other members of the Pingtan Refuge who followed were a little at a loss, and for a while they felt a little "shy".
"The honored guest came to visit, and he never greeted him from afar. It's really rude. I'm rude!"
From a distance in the mist, two silent vehicles drove over.
Chen Shen jumped out of the car, speaking a half-baked Blue Star language, with a friendly smile on his face.
"I am the village head of the village ahead, Chen Shen."
"I really didn't expect you to come here so early. I thought it would be afternoon."
The request to visit Pingtan Shelter was received from the border at five o'clock in the morning.
Liehu's impatient temper did not intend to endure it for a few days at all, and wait until the disaster is completely over.
As soon as Qinggang City calmed down, he hurriedly sent envoys to ask for a visit to discuss cooperation.
Chen Shen originally thought that the so-called "team of envoys" would come back in a day or two.
But who would have thought that it was only ten past eight o'clock in the morning, and this visiting team had already arrived at the village.
It is not difficult to infer that they set off with the messenger.
"The village chief is being polite. We didn't expect Mr. Pingtan to be so anxious and urged us to set off overnight."
Wang Qian smiled quite officially and waved back.
All the dozens of people who came from the Pingtan Refuge bent down at the same time in a very gentlemanly manner.
Then the four people at the rear tensed up and lifted the tarpaulin covering the locomotive to reveal the objects loaded below.
It is somewhat surprising that the two vehicles contained neither food and industrial products, nor weapons and ammunition.
Stacked in the carriage, on the contrary, there are magazines and books that are obviously a bit worn out, and they are colorfully put together, which is strangely beautiful.
"This is."
"Master Pingtan asked me to choose a gift for Tianyuan Territory. I guess Lord Tianyuan must be very curious about the past and culture of our Blue Star, so he took the initiative to apply for these magazines and books from the pre-war era. Don't underestimate them. Each of them has a history of at least two hundred years."
Chen Shen took a deep look at Wang Qian in surprise, and then stepped forward to pick up a thick book with about 300 pages.
Somewhat different from the roughness I imagined, the first touch of this book is actually a little warm, like touching jade.
Reminiscent of the fact that it can be stored for more than two hundred years and still maintain its current appearance, there is a high probability that special technology is used to make paper.
And on the written cover, it is marked in the blue star language
"A Brief Discussion on the Expansion of Intelligent Agriculture"
"Smart agriculture?"
Chen Shen didn't shy away, opened the book curiously and scanned a few pages.
The text inside is very dense, and it is estimated that there are at least eight or nine hundred words on a page.
But the layout of the book is very comfortable, with text descriptions on the left and comic-style illustrations on the right.
"Good things are really good things."
After flipping through more than a dozen pages, Chen Shen's superficial level of Lanxing language is not enough for Chen Shen to understand this book.
But there is no doubt that the information recorded on it has very high value, at least in terms of technological level, it is far ahead of the earth.
Putting down the book, Chen Shen picked up a magazine with dozens of pages.
"Hundred Porn Stars Illustrated Book"
After opening it, there were explicit photos inside.
After taking a few glances this time, Chen Shen blushed, coughed twice and returned to the front of the line.
"Thank you so much, I want to accept... Well, the manager will definitely be satisfied."
"I can rest assured that."
Wang Qian smiled secretly, secretly excited in his heart.
Choosing magazines and books was not his original idea.
After all, in the cooperation between the shelter and the shelter, the first gift is often something that is scarce on the other side.
And according to the reminder given by Liu Lu, the manager of Tianyuan Refuge and his subordinates are very fond of those abandoned industrial products from the pre-war era, and seem to have a great interest in past culture.
Wang Qian thought about it.
Traveling as an official mission, you must not bring these contraband as gifts.
In this way, these cheap books and magazines are left to carry the past culture.
He didn't go to the other floors and the latter was ashamed to borrow it. With only the B-9 floor and the B-7 floor, he easily got two cars out.
From the looks of it now, this gift was indeed the right choice!
Not only the manager of this weird Tianyuan Refuge, but also the people below have the same information as Liu Lu gave.
It is true that ordinary people have an incomprehensible interest in these antiques.
"Welcome, everyone haven't eaten yet."
"It just so happens that it's time for breakfast, so let me entertain you as a landlord."
"How about we go see the manager after we finish eating?"
