Chapter 1107 The Wanderer Tavern, the unwilling residents of the new city!
Big surprise?
When Lu Kuan came to the manager's office with a trace of suspicion, the big guys inside did not disappoint him.
“Is this the industrial core?”
Lu Kuan's face was filled with exclamation. He was a little shocked that Lan Xing had developed such a monster after he left.
This looks bulky to the core.
It is nothing less than the combination of cutting-edge technology and top-level manufacturing, which brings human wisdom into full play.
There is no problem even treating this core as the prerequisite skill tree for modular technology.
Except that the maintainability is so bad that it cannot be described in words, other conveniences are almost exactly the same.
"When you left, was there no news about core research and development?"
"Of course not, this is already a product of future generations." Lu Kuan shook his head honestly, and did not forget to add: "And don't forget, there was a gap of three hundred years between when we set out to study this thing.
What about time? You can try to go back three hundred years from the modern history of your earth, and then you can understand how I felt after seeing this thing."
Earth's modern times go forward three hundred years
Calculated based on the year 2000, that would be 1700, an era when the Ming Dynasty was still in power.
Lu Kuan made this analogy, and Sumo immediately understood the relationship between the core and his era.
It can be said that there is no relationship.
He didn't know what direction the technology tree was headed at that time. How could it be specific to such cutting-edge technology? Maybe even the idea was not completed, and it was only proposed after the technological level was reached step by step.
However, you don’t need to know much about using industrial cores, it’s almost the same as using modular technology.
You only need to unfold this industrial core, and then invest materials and a large amount of energy according to the above requirements.
It can automatically carry out production internally and finally output a brand new 'nuclear power plant'.
"It's a pity that our research on nuclear fusion is still in its earliest stages. Even if we get the manufactured nuclear power plant now, we probably won't be able to decipher much of the underlying technology."
Leaving aside the resources needed to produce nuclear power, even if you can't find them around the territory, neighbors, or allies, you can still go to the company's Hu Lai City to see if you can buy some.
In contrast, Lu Kuan is more concerned about technical inspiration.
But there is no way, the energy direction of the territory is still accelerating on the technology tree of 'Power Stone' for the time being.
The information previously inspired by Blood and Soil is still sealed in the archives.
Although it has not reached the stage of "turning around the ship in disaster", according to optimistic estimates.
If you want to research yourself on the road of nuclear fusion, you will eventually develop to the same level as the current energy stone technology.
It will take at least ten years.
Obviously, Tianyuan Territory did not have ten years to develop this technology.
What's more, the technology being developed is already owned by others, so it's even more unnecessary.
"The current research direction in our territory must be energy stone. After all, it is something unique to us. It is hard to say how much worse the potential will be than nuclear fusion in the future."
After speaking, Sumo looked at the industrial core on the ground and continued to give instructions.
"I have removed the signal tracking of this core. Now as long as we don't reveal the news, no one will know that we have this thing. You can arrange manpower to research it. We need to accumulate the resources needed for it as soon as possible to create a nuclear power plant.
."
“Do you have a project that requires a lot of energy?”
Lu Kuan was not stupid. He had already guessed Su Mo's reaction and had a serious expression on his face.
"Is this matter going to be kept secret for the time being? It's not like I can't tell you."
"In this case, you come with me!"
Originally, he wanted to hide the hyper-realistic technology on the B6 floor from Lu Kuan, but after thinking about it, Su Mo decided to speak out.
It's not that I keep this secret in my heart and don't tell anyone, it's very uncomfortable.
Rather, the emergence of new cutting-edge technologies will give these researchers in the territory a head start to move forward.
As for whether he can accept the impact it brings, Sumo is not worried about that.
Lu Kuan, an old antique who has been resurrected from a brain into a human being, has a strong ability to withstand stress.
Especially after being 'poisoned' by the game for so long, it shouldn't be too difficult to accept the portal.
The clouds drift away.
The cold rain takes a break.
As the first light rain in early winter has passed, the temperature that has dropped to subzero has risen slightly.
Now even if night falls.
The deserted Qinggang New Town was no longer as dead as it was a few days ago, and sporadic wanderers began to come out for activities.
Oh, no.
I should say the ‘New Town Residents’ of Sunny Harbor Refuge.
'Dear residents of the new city, I am Commander Edmund, the person in charge of this new city! I regret to tell you some bad news. Although the rain has stopped, the cooling of this winter is far from over.
The current outside temperature is minus three degrees Celsius. Please do not go out casually to prevent the spread of wind and cold!'
'I know this is a difficult winter, and this is the first time we have experienced such a severe cold test. But please believe that going to the outside world, going to other shelters, and going to any part of this wasteland will not be a problem.
Qinggang New City will not be as safe and warm as Qinggang New City. Please give us some time. The Materials Department is trying its best to help everyone prepare cold-resistant materials, which will be distributed to everyone by then.'
'In addition, infected people are asked not to leave the designated location at will. This is a consideration for your safety and a guarantee for the safety of others. Especially do not go to the west side of the city. Our hospital has no extra space to receive patients.
Already.'
The loudspeaker hanging on the lightning wall has begun to make noise, and the annoying sound is repeated over and over again.
Afraid that these wanderers would forget their original identity and current situation, Edmund also deliberately emphasized his tone on the residents of the new city and strictly emphasized the distinction between east and west areas.
Normally, a wanderer would not be offended by this distinction.
After all, putting them together with shelter residents who have never experienced hardships is not only uncomfortable for them, but also for the homeless themselves.
However, now we have reached an extraordinary period.
Not every wanderer is satisfied with their current life, especially those in the tavern.
"This damn guy, can't he just shut up?"
"How do we get to the West District? The walls there are full of guards. Do we have to fight through them?"
"Why is Qinggang New City the safest place? I heard that the wandering tribes in the west distribute cold-resistant materials for free, including cotton coats, cotton trousers, cotton socks, and even cotton gloves."
"We need jobs, we need pay, we need supplies to get through this winter, instead of listening to him on the loudspeaker instilling this meaningless chicken soup for the soul!"
"Yes, how long do we have to wait before we can receive the supplies? Dozens of people have to fill in the big hole dug at the door every day. Who knows if we will be the next to go in?"
"Protest, no, we have to escape. Even if we escape back to the city's sewer pipes, we will be freer than now!"
A group of homeless people who drank too much horse urine got a little drunk.
The stimulation of low-quality alcohol, coupled with the recent troubles in life, and the lack of hope for the future.
When they were wandering outside the city, they were still able to go to the corners of the city every day to look for food with great energy.
But after being trapped in this new city, they suddenly found that they seemed to be 'wasted'.
If the other party does not provide jobs, they can only stay in the house and shiver, waiting for one daily relief meal to be distributed.
If the other party provides a job, it will only provide an extra relief meal at best.
Not to mention full, not even half full.
How can this survive this winter?
"Are we really just going to stay here and wait to die?"
After taking a sip of beer that smelled like earth mixed with earth, a homeless man with only three fingers left on his left hand punched the counter with his fist and said what most people in the tavern were thinking.
His name is Adolf.
In the long history, this is a name that has been endowed with many great meanings.
For example, a certain art student failed, or a certain imperial war god.
But in Qinggang New City, in this tavern, he is just an ordinary middle-aged man over thirty.
Because only three fingers are disabled, he is unable to do most of the delicate work in Xincheng.
The only thing I can do is some physical work.
For example, manpower pulls a trolley to transport building materials from point A to point B.
This is a job without any future. Even Adolf himself knows that once the construction of the new city is completed, he will become a useless waste.
But now, with the arrival of winter, even this work is no longer necessary.
From the day the light rain started, he was already on the road to unemployment.
What's worse is that the supplies he has accumulated are much less than others.
As for why I can still sit here and drink with other homeless people.
Naturally because.
"We need to save ourselves, whether it's going to places outside the city or to the wandering tribes in the west."
Taking out a coin with Edmund's face engraved on it, Adolf slapped it heavily on the counter.
"We can first raise funds to sponsor some people to go there to explore the information. If that wandering tribe is really so generous and kind, why not go there as soon as possible before winter has completely arrived?"
"Is there anything worse than staying here?"
He picked up the low-quality beer that was served again by the wine glass. Seeing that many people were a little moved, Adolf took a nice sip.
This job is great!
Compared with the heavy physical work, advocating for the wandering tribes in the tavern every day is as simple as picking up a wine glass and drinking it.
But the reward is much more generous, and you can receive a full five coins every day.
If you buy wine, you can drink it all night.
If you buy relief meals, you can have two good meals.
Adolf didn't care whether the wandering tribe was a liar or had other ulterior motives.
Wanderers are destined to die, and wherever they go they will always be at the bottom.
So what if I go to that wandering tribe and become a slave?
As long as they can really distribute a set of cold protection materials to each person and provide sufficient food supply.
Just wait until this winter is over, and at worst, just take the opportunity to escape.
This is not a difficult thing for homeless people at all. They have been on the road of being oppressed and then escaping all their lives.
"You old guy makes it simple. We don't know where the wandering tribe is. Do we have to rely on one pair of legs to walk there?"
"Yes, it's such a cold weather. If you go out for an hour and a half, you'll be frozen. I'm afraid you'll die on the road."
"It's easy to get out of this new city, but it's not easy to get back to the new city. I heard that new wanderers are no longer allowed to enter, for fear of bringing infectious diseases!"
"We don't have more accurate information. If the other party just deceives us like Qinggang New City, it will be all over."
The homeless people who can sit in the tavern and spend money are not the ordinary homeless people who hide in their rooms.
Can stand out among tens of thousands of people.
Earning materials for consumption, they are the leaders in this group.
Either he has a physical advantage, or he is extremely clever and sees opportunities that ordinary wanderers cannot.
It's not easy to trick these people into coming.
However, Adolf seemed to have expected that these people would say this, and shook his head without any anxiety.
"So, the poor 'bugs' we gophers call us can only and only deserve to stay in this cage-like Qinggang New City, waiting for death to approach step by step."
"That's fine. I've lived for thirty-five years as an old guy, so I've earned a living."
"After spending the money I have, in a few days I plan to find someone who doesn't want to cheat me."
"It's comfortable, and you don't need to carry me over."
An old wanderer, and an old guy with a disability.
This was assuming that the world had not changed and everyone was almost on the verge of death when they were still on Blue Star.
According to the average age of a homeless person, which is thirty-two years old, he even lived for three more years, which is considered to be "enough".
However, these words were a bit harsh to the ears of the strong wanderers in their twenties present.
Indeed, this old guy has lived a good life.
But we haven’t yet?
The world has changed. Before, they would have never dared to think that they would one day become gophers.
But now, all this is really happening.
If they live a few more years, will they also have the opportunity to own their own house, own their own property, and even hire two beautiful maids like those gophers in the city?
Let them wait to die now and die in this winter?
"But if you want to go, I also have a road map that I managed to get here. Follow the directions on this map to leave the new city. It only takes about two hours to reach the opponent's outpost. Someone will take you there.
I went all the way to the wandering tribes, but I don’t know how authentic it is.”
"If anyone wants it, two coins, and make sure not to pass it on to anyone else."
Adolf didn't go all out with his words, and even offered a price for the free road map.
After living for so many years, he knew very well how vigilant the wanderers were.
As for pie-in-the-sky things, even if they really happen in front of these people.
It will take a lot of time to get them to accept it.
But after using this hard-and-soft approach.
really.
"Old guy, give me one. If you forge it yourself, I won't be able to forgive you."
Seeing a strong wanderer stand up from the crowd, Adolf couldn't help but smile.
That's it.
The road map costs two coins, and the opponent's reward is five coins.
Tomorrow, I will have enough money to drink again!
