Unfettered technology is dangerous, even more so than zombies and xenomorphs. On this planet surrounded by radioactive dust, Jiang Chen had reason to believe that it was impossible for the deformed seeds to sprout only in Wanghai City.

Mutants, cannibals, marauders, zombies, xenomorphs, unfettered artificial intelligence......

In the final analysis, these monsters are the product of the over-expansion of technology and the deformed growth of civilization.

They should be corrected.

Wherever the NAC Iron Boots tread, all heresy will be removed!

This slogan was printed on the gate of the Sixth Block, and it was viewed by all the business and tourist who entered and exited the Sixth Block.

After the large-scale xenomorph eradication operation, the sixth block has become a place that the survivors of Suzhou and Hangzhou Province and even the entire Pan-Asian China District yearn for. The Merchant and the Wanderer have taken the legend and banner of the NAC even further, and that powerful and stable force is trying to achieve something that the world's coalition governments have not been able to achieve.

Restore order.

“…… They can't do it, not because they don't have that ability, it's just because they lack the courage to take responsibility and face reality. Think about it from another perspective, would you rather face a bombed world and be devastated or would you rather arrive in a new world and start over? Sitting in the marshal's office in the parliament building in the sixth block, Jiang Chen lit the cigarette butts between his fingers at the ashtray and talked to Zhao Chenwu, who was sitting on the sofa opposite.

"Very novel point of view. Zhao Chenwu shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of the teacup in front of the table. smashed his mouth and sighed, "Good tea." Speaking of which. Did Mr. Marshal invite me here just for a tea party?"

"Of course not," Jiang Chen smiled and leaned back in his chair, "You are the speaker of the parliament, and I hope to send a signal to the parliament through you." ”

"What signal?" Zhao Chenwu put down his teacup. I sit down a little way.

"The situation in Wanghai City has stabilized, and NAC will not consider using troops for a period of time in the future, and now is a good time for the development of the sixth block. ”

That is to say. Will the military orders from NAC be reduced?" Regarding Jiang Chen's words, Zhao Chenwu's reaction was not very enthusiastic. After all, he has now completely withdrawn from the arms business, and as early as half a year ago, he disposed of the loss-making military factory to NAC.

"Of course, but that's not what I'm going to say. Jiang Chen paused. "I want you to use the influence you built up as a layman in the NAC's Dominion. Collect pre-war technical documents, scientific research equipment, high-precision instruments scattered outside Wanghai City. We will offer you a reasonable purchase price for what you recycle. ”

For the vast majority of small and medium-sized survivor organizations in the wasteland, that technology and equipment are worthless. After all, even if a village with only a few dozen people gets the design drawings of the electromagnetic cannon, it is difficult for them to build an electromagnetic cannon without 3D printing equipment or production tools.

Many ignorant survivors even mix up those precious documents with discarded books. It is used as a fuel for the winter. Parts such as sensors and graphene circuit boards were removed from the quantum computer and used on self-controlled sentry machine guns.

And Jiang Chen needs these merchants who have footprints all over the wasteland to do. It is to collect these "treasures" mixed with garbage. It is better for the merchants to do this, as their strength does not cause alarm among the local survivor groups, and it is much easier to communicate with the locals than with the NAC soldiers armed with rifles.

"No problem, I will inform my colleagues and pay more attention to this aspect when doing business in other places...... Do you only inform the members of the parliament? There are quite a few chambers of commerce in the sixth district that do business outside the province, such as those caravans from Hangzhou. Zhao Chenwu asked.

"There is no need to inform them, the caravan in Hangzhou City is an outsider. As for those small chambers of commerce, they are too numerous to control, and they are easy to act as spoilers. Jiang Chen shook his head, "This task is very important, NAC needs these technologies to rebuild this ruin, so I leave it to you to do." ”

"Thank you for your trust. Zhao Chenwu bowed slightly, then raised his head, and asked with a smile, "What are the specific technologies, or rather, what kind of technologies is NAC willing to pay a high price for?"

Profit is the focus of businessmen, and how many credits NAC is willing to pay for it determines how passionate these businessmen are about technology recycling efforts. Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't be unaware of this.

"More advanced 3D printing equipment or technical literature, civilian-grade or experimental-grade quantum computers, all equipment and papers related to aerospace science and technology, these technologies are the focus of our recycling at this stage. As for other aspects of technology, we will also pay you a reasonable remuneration based on its practical value. Jiang Chen smiled.

Zhao Chenwu nodded.

"Got it, is that about it?"

"One more thing, I heard that your Zhao Group has imported a batch of production drones from Wushi, right?" Jiang Chen asked.

"That's right, the 'worker ant drone' can't escape your eyes with anything. Zhao Chenwu teased, "Is there any problem?"

"Is that thing any good?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It worked very well. It can be used to harvest crops, collect resin, or even perform simple assembly line work in place of workers, in short, it is a very interesting gadget. Zhao Chenwu said.

As per capita income in the Sixth Block has risen, most of the survivors would rather "pick up garbage" than do low-paid farm work, with the exception of slaves and displaced people who are willing to work in farming and planting industries. In order to solve the labor force of the farm, Zhao Chenwu simply ordered a batch of "worker ant" drones from Wushi to replace manual production.

"Can you provide us with a couple of samples? Of course, we'll pay for it. Jiang Chen said.

"No problem. That thing doesn't really cost much, so I'll give you a few of them. Zhao Chenwu said generously. "If you succeed in dissecting their technology, remember to sell us a little. ”

"Thank you very much. Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Speaking of which, what is the strength of the survivors over there in Wu City?"

"Strength, how do you say that...... In the south, the survivor groups along the Yangtze River are mostly farmers, and the same is true of Wushi. Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain, survivor groups are clustered around the fertile soil of the suburbs. Perhaps they inherited some of the pre-war production technology, but in general their mechanical manufacturing capabilities were not bad.

Similar to Wanghai two years ago, the local survivors have also been infested by mutant and marauder settlements, so the population density has not been high. The economy relies heavily on the export of agricultural products such as bullet shell grains, kamut resin, and mutated fruits, and occasionally sells their handmade robots and drones to passing merchants. Is there any problem?" asked Zhao Chenwu.

"Nothing, just asking. By the way, I'll give you one more task. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhao Chenwu looked at Jiang Chen.

"When you're doing business, remember to pay attention to the information of the local survivor forces. For example, population, economic status, military power, settlement distribution. ”

"Didn't you say that the NAC has no plans for military operations in the near future?" asked Zhao Chenwu.

"It doesn't necessarily mean that intelligence is needed when there is a military operation. Jiang Chen crossed his fingers on his knees and said with a smile, "In peacetime, we can study where to fight first." (To be continued.) )
