63. Caravan
After a painful narrative and sincere deception, Lu Xi won a chance to stay and check.
Within a month, if Lu Xi is not able to prove his failure, he will be expelled from the Future Achievers Association.
This proof method made Lu Xi very puzzled, isn't he a future success? If I succeed after one, isn't it just the right proof that the role of this association is very significant?
After leaving, Lu Xi realized how ridiculous today's things were, he actually begged to join an association organization composed of all waste, and the other party wanted to expel him, and he was quite unhappy.
It's crazy.
It may be that among the members of this association, there is no bottom line of touting, and they are lost.
But this unlimited rainbow fart seems to be really addictive.
……
Human society is divided by dangerous wilderness, separated by disconnected barriers, logistics are greatly restricted, and industrial manufacturing capacity is in sharp decline.
The Zhuxia region serves as the world's factory before the revival of Reiki. It has the world's most complete industrial chain and an extensive railway network.
For a period of time in history, county cities were also called upon to develop five small industries: small iron and steel, small coal mines, small machinery, small cement, and small chemical fertilizers.
Although most of these small enterprises were killed by the subsequent wave of globalization, many factories still survived after improving the industrial system of the Zhuxia region.
This is also the characteristic of the Zhuxia region, with a large population, dense cities, and even small cities have their pillar manufacturing industries.
Reiki is revived, and technology is declining.
There are large regions that, cut off from dangerous wilderness and deprived of communication with the outside world, have almost lost the ability to produce industrial goods. Human beings eat the weak, and they drink blood, as if living in a primitive society.
The cities in Zhuxia Region are dense, and the various barriers are not far apart, so transportation and logistics are relatively easy. The industrial system is complete, and each barrier has the ability to independently produce specific industrial products.
The Zhuxia Region has the most powerful industrial capacity and retains the most old-time technology.
It is the area with the highest standard of living, the area with the best social order, and the beacon of civilization in this era.
And because of the concept of equality of the rulers, District 53 is an area for all people to practice, and it is also the most friendly place to treat ordinary practitioners and ordinary people.
The people who live in the three walls of District 53 live the life that most closely resembles the old days.
Due to the assimilation of the energy of the aura, the transmission distance of the cable is limited, and the cable television network can only cover the core area of the wall. So the way most ordinary people learn about the news is still newspapers.
The newspaper media in Area 53 mobilized to report on the first run of the Reiki Steam Train with high intensity and on a large scale.
Hailed as an invention that will change the future of mankind, the psionic engine is the direction of future science and technology, which will provide countless jobs suitable for ordinary people, and greatly promote the employment of ordinary practitioners in District 53. Let District 53 be great again, Director Han's statement is high again.
He mentioned Director Han's bold and creative drill, which used the form of animal tide attacks to test the reliability and safety of the train.
This kind of scene close to actual combat proves the safety and reliability of the psionic steam train. The steam-powered wheels that shimmered with psionic green light were no longer able to stop them.
The newspaper also introduced the huge harvest brought by this exercise, more than 3,000 relatively intact beasts, and more flesh and fur. If you don't count the Beast Tide invasion, this is the largest hunting harvest in the history of Area 53.
The first passengers of the psionic steam train, each with a beast as a gift, became the most envied group of people in Area 53. A complete beast, if it is a rare species, is enough for a down payment on a house.
……
A caravan came to Gate 11 in the western part of Barrier 1 in District 53.
The caravan consisted of only nine people, two old-time off-road vehicles with metal buckets behind them, and a dozen green-feathered horses with heavy loads on their backs. The combination of machinery and livestock is nondescript.
The caravan members were dressed in standard combat uniforms made of high-strength materials, and their faces and bare skin were painted in strange colors. It was the sap of special plants and the dung of high-level beasts to mask their own smell.
They have compasses, flashlights, alloy daggers, semi-automatic rifles, grenade launchers, and other equipment of the civilized world. There are also bone forks and bone blades made from some kind of animal bones.
Civilization is also backward and intertwined in one picture.
Lined up in a loose line, after three layers of inspection, this caravan claiming to be from Area 71 entered the No. 1 core barrier of District 53.
Their goods were the cultivation resources they had hunted from the fierce beasts, teeth, horn teeth, bones, as well as the spiritual power crystals and spiritual sea extracts in the beast's body.
They are from Area 71, which is closer to the edge of the human settlement, where the industrial level is backward, and they need to exchange their cultivation resources for necessary industrial goods and medicines.
Because of the particularity of the national cultivation in District 53, the consumption of resources is large, and the price of various cultivation resources is higher. Moreover, District 53 has developed industry, and various daily necessities and medicines are also cheaper. The exchange of prey from Area 71 for industrial supplies from Area 53 is lucrative and a golden trade route.
The two brothers, Rong Qi and Rong Chu, came to Area 53 with the caravan for the first time, and they had long heard of the civilization and development of Area 53.
After entering the barrier, they were dazzled by the tall buildings on both sides of the road. However, the team leader was not allowed to wander around, and they had to go to the trading market as soon as possible to exchange their cultivation resources for medicines and industrial supplies.
……
"What? The price is 30% lower than last time! Why? Geng Guoyuan, the leader of the caravan in Area 71, roared at a salesman in the Hundred Beast Garden's cultivation resource store.
The salesman dared to salivate on his face and said, "Yesterday, our Director Han harvested more than 3,000 fierce beasts in a drill. Now there is no shortage of resources for fierce beasts in District 53, and it is still up to the face of the old customers to reduce it by 30%. ”
Rong Qi and Rong Chu were shocked, they had been involved in hunting since they were children, and they had never thought about how they could kill more than 3,000 fierce beasts at once, did they go hunting beasts?
Geng Guoyuan asked in surprise: "What exercise?" Able to harvest so much prey at once? ”
Then there are what psionic steam trains, what psionic engines, ordinary cultivators' springs, and so on that they don't understand.
After visiting several shops that bought prey, the price given by the Hundred Beast Garden Cultivation Resource Store was indeed the highest.
After some mental struggle, Geng Guoyuan still decided to sell his prey.
It's just that they have to stay in District 53 for a while, there is no railway in Area 71, and every time they go out to trade, they have to go through difficulties, and if they can't purchase enough medicine back, the caravan will lose money.
They decided to take on a few missions here to earn points and buy more medicine to make up for the shortfall.
