Wang Jie immediately hooked up with Tony, and the communication was like an old friend who had known each other for a long time, "Brother Wang, I'm going to get busy first, contact me if there is anything." ”

"Okay! Brother, go get busy! ”

Chen Qiang carefully looked at this wharf, this is an independent wharf, there are more than 10 rooms in the wharf, all of them are independent and there is a living room, it can be regarded as a mini stronghold! This should only be something that a businessman like Chen Qiang would have! And the fees are all free, of course, you must trade the goods in the Fort of Dawn, otherwise there is still a fee, and the cost is reasonable that is, a light-colored energy bar for 1 day.

You don't know how much energy a ship consumes on a daily basis.

Civilization is a general term for the precipitation and accumulation of historical development, which is in line with the spiritual wealth and science and technology pursued by mankind and accepted by most people.

There is indeed a human civilization in Fort Dawn, but it is only relatively deformed.

You can see mercenaries with various weapons on their waists, electronic cigarettes in a daze in the mercenary union, and you can also see various merchants holding instruments to count various goods.

There are many people who lack arms and legs, some on crutches, and some with various mechanical prostheses.

Scrawny men and women were everywhere, uniformed soldiers patrolling the streets in groups of ten, carrying laser guns on their backs.

The laws here are simple: murder and theft are punishable, those who fail to pay taxes are enslaved, and those who deliberately injure are imprisoned.

The environment here is very harsh.

The slums are dirty and messy, the markets on the outskirts are slightly better, and caught thieves or unsightly criminals are shot to death, dragged away by professional robots, and sold as unknown food in black workshops.

The inner circle is actually the main body of the ship, of course, it is a bad environment for the upper class to live, and the public security and health will be relatively better.

At the gate of the market, Chen Qiang saw the two bargaining fiercely, and finally reached a consensus, under the fair manager of the market, the two exchanged goods and signed an agreement, one side took out a box and counted the pills from it, and the other party moved out of the cage ten ragged women.

Each woman is skinny with an electronic collar around her neck and a dull gaze, and these women are not bad.

After both sides counted the goods, one took out another small pile of pills and handed them to the manager, and the other also counted the pills and handed them to the manager.

The two parties left satisfied, and as for the woman, the man handed the rope to the robot, and the robot led her like an animal.

Chen Qiang shuddered, and seemed to be able to imagine what fate those expressionless women would face.

Fortunately, Chen Qiang has also experienced a similar scene, in his own time and space, the environment is not better than here to go there, the only thing he didn't expect was that the society after a thousand years would still be so cruel, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

"If Brother Qiang's women don't take this road, it is estimated that they will be starved to death, rather than starving to death, it is better to do it, and they can still eat enough, you must know that everyone will be valuable, slave owners will not let them die, and the population in the water world is also an important strategic material, especially women."

Listening to Wang Jie's introduction on the side, as a ranger, he also knows some things that ordinary people don't know.

Lao Zhao said: "Brother Qiang's society today is even more cruel than our time, in our era, as long as you are diligent and go outside to find scrap metal, you can always get food, now hey!" ”

As he spoke, the group walked to the door of a shop.

The entrance of the shop is very neat, and there are many guards at the door.

This is the purchasing station on the outskirts of Fort Dawn, which is responsible for valuing and purchasing goods that are in demand.

While things like food and energy could be used directly as currency, those trading rules clearly didn't apply to the long-term development of Auroville.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a credible organization to promote a unified currency, and at the same time, it is easier to collect taxes.

To put it bluntly, it is easier to exploit civilians at the trading point, which is generally not obvious in small forces, and will only be used by the bottom line of large forces, such as the North-South Alliance, where the trading points of each force are different.

It's a bit like the various copper coins of the Warring States period.

Chen Qiang has 10,000 trading points in his hands, which is worth a few packs of nutritional mixture at best.

Nutrient mixture is a variety of fish biological protein as raw materials to make things, the taste of fishy smell, under normal circumstances, people in the water world can eat nutritional mixture every day is already a well-off family.

Most people in the slums use an inferior nutritional mixture, which is unhygienic, and most of the raw materials are made from cockroaches, fish intestines, and other organisms that are readily available, and some black-hearted merchants will also add corpses.

This kind of has no outer packaging at all, and the finished product is a bit like jelly, because the price is low, and the poor people who can't eat the dead are popular.

Chen Qiang and a few people entered the store.

A good-looking salesman greeted him at the door and smiled at Chen Qiang.

This kind of salesman is specially trained, and everyone in Chen Qiang and his party is protecting Chen Qiang, intentionally or unintentionally.

Moreover, Chen Qiang and the others are well-equipped, and they also have a special bracelet made by the trading station, this kind of bracelet is not something that ordinary merchants can have, only a powerful caravan will be given a bracelet by Fort Dawn.

"Distinguished sir, please come with me, please come to the VIP to trade, there will be a special trader to serve you."

The nutritionist smiled mysteriously at Chen Qiang, and then turned around and took a graceful catwalk to take Chen Qiang and the others to the VIP private room.

The reason why transactions are carried out in VIP private rooms is also a kind of respect and confidentiality measure for customers like Chen Qiang, how can the value of the bracelet be highlighted if it is handled in the hall.

There are also all kinds of spies in the hall, including pirates and mercenaries.

In the water world, as long as there is an opportunity, no matter what the force, everyone will risk their lives to do it.

Chen Qiang's wandering around Fort Dawn in the past few days has attracted the focus of the major forces.

Who is called Chen Qiang and others, the number is small and well-equipped! Some of the equipment can be made up with cannon fodder, once Chen Qiang and others are taken down, it is enough to live happily for a while.

And there is news that Chen Qiang and others have a large number of medicines, food and energy bars.

The major mercenaries were already frantically inquiring about any news about Chen Qiang like sharks smelling blood.

Retreat to open the door, a faint fragrance comes to the face, the classical wooden table and leather sofa, and the purple clay pot placed in the middle of the tea table show a good elegance.

"Sir, please sit down and I'll make you tea."

A beautiful female trader was slightly possessed, and for some reason, the female trader's eyes made Chen Qiang feel like eating him.

However, Chen Qiang didn't think much about it and said in surprise: "Tea! Do you still have tea here? ”

The beautiful trader looked at Chen Qiang with a little surprise, and out of the habit of professional quality, the beauty explained respectfully.

It turned out to be a kind of green beads, and after soaking it in boiling water for one minute, it will have a faint tea aroma when the boiling water is removed.

As a housekeeper, Lao Zhao stepped forward and handed the tea to Chen Qiang after checking it with an instrument.

Chen Qiang picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, the taste is indeed a bit like tea, but it is too different from real tea, just like the tea that has been drunk more than ten times is tasteless.

Place the teacup on the table.

"Isn't it to your taste?"

"It's too far from real tea."

The beautiful trader was very surprised, the real tea, the customer in front of him actually drank the real tea, this is too shocking, you must know that the real tea is not only available to ordinary forces.

Even the water in the cup full of tea was forgotten, and it was not until Chen Qiang reminded him that he came back to his senses.

The beauties became more and more enthusiastic about Chen Qiang, and kept teasing Chen Qiang.

Experienced female traders will earn tips for special services to improve their lives, while merchants can get "good reviews" from big customers, in a sense, it's the best of both worlds.

If you are lucky enough to meet a big employer, you can become a lover, and those who can enter the VIP room are rich owners.

"Honorable sir, I have a better service that can make you feel comfortable to the bone."

The beautiful trader's words revealed an incomparably coquettish meaning, and the meaning was obvious.

Chen Qiang ignored the seduction of the beautiful trader and directly transferred to the main body: "What products do you have here that can be traded, take them out and let me take a look." ”

The beautiful trader pursed her lips unwillingly, still maintaining a polite smile on her face, took out the trader from under the table without saying a word, and took the initiative to hand it to Chen Qiang enthusiastically.

But he was blocked by Guo Jiamei, and personally borrowed the trader and handed it to Chen Qiang.

The beautiful trader glanced at Guo Jiamei dissatisfied.

However, Guo Jiamei naturally glared unceremoniously.

From the perspective of temperament, the two are very different, one is coquettish, to put it bluntly, she is almost the same as a technical girl, how can she compare with Guo Jiamei's clear eyebrows.

Comparing the two, it seems that there is this young lady here, and the purpose of this beautiful trader is naturally in vain.

I have to hope that Chen Qiang can trade the amount, each transaction amount has a corresponding commission, although it is a transaction point, but it is better than nothing.

Chen Qiang checked the transaction catalog, and there were everything from various machinery and equipment ships to nutritional mixtures.

For Chen Qiang, it is relatively ordinary, and for others, the seabed is very dangerous, but for Chen Qiang, it is still very simple.

After more than 200 years of development, there will be more or less novel products developed by human beings.

For example, the S-type booster can enhance the body's resistance to cold for 24 hours, and the T-type agent can make people not breathe for 7 hours under the sea, etc.

Chen Qiang selectively bought a little bit of everything, planning to study it when he went back.

Chen Qiang handed the trader to Lao Zhao and said: "I have chosen everything I want, you can see what you want, choose for yourself!" ”

Lao Zhao and the others took the trader and chose it.

Guo Jiamei's choice is basically medical equipment, as well as all kinds of women's daily necessities, after all, Chen Qiang's team is full of big men.

Wang Jie chose weapons and equipment, although they were not as powerful as the weapons provided by Chen Qiang, but they were all far from practical.

The two choices of grandparents and grandchildren are very miscellaneous, especially Zhao Kai, the items selected are all strange, and there are many toy robots.

Guo Jiamei handed the trader to the trader, and the trader asked, "May I ask this gentleman what you are trading with." ”

"What can you use here?"

"Food, energy bars or medicines, if you use the trade point, we have extra discounts!"

Chen Qiang smiled, if it weren't for Wang Jie and Guo Jiamei's suggestions, Chen Qiang might have chosen to fold the trading point, but now he doesn't want to be wronged.

Chen Qiang said casually: "Nutritional mixture!" ”

"Okay."

The trader counted into the dealer and said, "A total of 226,000 nutritional mixtures." ”

Chen Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, transport the goods to Pier 8." ”

The beautiful trader excitedly said: "Good distinguished sir. ”

You must know that 226,000 nutritional mixtures are a huge transaction amount.
