Chapter 69: The Search for Gold
Tang Cheng was very worried during this time, and Old Tang entrusted him with the important task of searching for gold, but it took several weeks, and he found nothing.
Except for the occasional gold jewellery that can be found in some villas, the rest is nothing.
Tang Cheng: "This is really the hell, it turns out that no one wants this thing all over the street, but now it can't be found all over the street!" ”
"It's hard to do it, all that gold can't grow on its own!"
Hearing Tang Cheng's complaint, a squad leader who followed behind Tang Cheng said, "That, sir, I think I might know the reason!" ”
When Tang Cheng heard this, he immediately asked, "You know the reason, then tell me quickly!" ”
Team Leader: "It is estimated that it is the impact of the gold exchange for daily necessities carried out in the Western District before, and the gold thing is not of great use, and it cannot be eaten or drunk." At most, some women like to collect these ornaments to decorate themselves. ”
"But since the opening of the gold exchange event in the West Side, this thing has gradually become a hard currency, and many people will search for gold all over SH City, and then store it and use it as currency. Anyway, the gold exchange activities in the western area have been effective for a long time, and everyone is not worried about the depreciation of gold. Therefore, driven by interests, the gold that can be found on the surface of the entire SH is estimated to have been mined out a long time ago! ”
Hearing the words of this squad leader, Tang Cheng suddenly felt that his life was full of gloom. This is simply a pit daddy.
You Lin Chen launched a gold exchange activity for materials, and you have already scavenged the entire SH gold, now let me go there to find gold!
In his heart, it was like ten thousand divine beasts rushing by, and Tang Cheng almost wanted to give up this hopeless task now.
Thinking about the troops led by Lu Quan, going to look for gold outside SH City, Tang Cheng thought that he had taken advantage of it at first. Only now did I realize that I was the fool.
People have long known that they will definitely not find any gold inside SH City, so they took the initiative to apply to look for it outside the city, but he and Lao Tang insisted that they could find more gold in SH City, so they dug a pit and buried themselves.
Tang Cheng: "Forget it, forget it, if we can't find it today, we will return to the station, and I will personally report the situation to the chief." If it really doesn't work, let's take less quota for our engineering corps! “
As soon as they heard that the quota of electromagnetic rifles was going to be reduced, a group of GIs under Tang Cheng were not happy.
When a soldier fights a war, he obviously has good weapons and equipment, but he can't use them first, which makes people feel embarrassed.
Especially the brothers of the Army and the Space Army, if they deliberately show off their new equipment in front of them from time to time, then they will not be a head short of others for no reason in the future.
It's a matter of face. It's really easy to give up.
The Engineering Construction Corps is a wartime logistics support organization directly under Lin Chen, and it is a completely parallel unit establishment to the Army and the Space Army. If you are crushed by them now, you will still be like this in the future!
Team Leader: "Sir, don't give up, we still have hope!" ”
Other soldiers: "Yes, Chief Tang, brothers have been looking forward to the new weapon for a long time. I heard that the Type 03L electromagnetic rifle has been officially mass-produced, and the power is several times that of our current gunpowder weapons. That shot went down, and it was a hole with a big hole in the mouth of the bowl, and it was very powerful. With this weapon, the brothers will not be so miserable in expelling those insects and beasts in the future. ”
"yes, yes! It's like now, when we encounter a slightly larger insect beast, the weapons in our hands are like burning sticks, and we have been flying for a long time, and there is no reaction at all, that is depressed! ”
Hearing the cries of the soldiers under his command, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. He also knows the power of the new electromagnetic rifle.
It is said that within the army, this weapon is called a single cannon, and its power is fierce.
If this kind of good thing were snatched away by the people of the Army and the Space Army, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing.
The people of the army, a good horse with a good saddle, and some electromagnetic rifles, still have some effect. You said that the people of the Space Army, what do they want to do with such a fierce weapon, they just sit in the spaceship and press the button, holding the electromagnetic rifle, it's just decoration.
Thinking of this, Tang Cheng suddenly felt a bad breath in his heart. He didn't believe it, the huge SH didn't have an underground vault.
At this moment, a veteran in his forties suddenly stood up and said: "Chief Tang, I remember that in the southern district, near the suburbs, there is a large industrial area, where it used to be a high-tech park, where a large number of electronic manufacturing enterprises are stationed there, maybe there will be some gains!" ”
Tang Cheng: "Southern District, an electronics manufacturing enterprise. Wait, I'm a little confused, I'm looking for a vault or something, right, looking for an electronics manufacturing company, what's the point? ”
Veteran: "Sir, to tell you the truth, my dad and his generation are all employees of electronics factories, and he told me before that gold will be used in the packaging of circuit boards and some chips. My dad used to stay in a circuit board factory, which had a lot of electroplating processes and needed a lot of gold to produce circuit boards! ”
Tang Cheng: "I'll go, it's really fake." Have you heard of it? ”
Captain Du: "No, sir. However, I did see a lot of gold contacts in the electronic components I disassembled before, and now that I think about it, it should be that these electronic components contain a lot of gold elements. ”
Tang Cheng: "That's right, according to this logic, there may really be a lot of gold in those electronics factories." Okay, this news is too important, report back to the chief immediately, and then everyone will go with me to the industrial park on the outskirts of the southern district! ”
Old Tang, who soon received the news, immediately made a decision, sent more search troops to support Tang Cheng, and went to the southern region with him.
At the same time, Lao Tang felt that this news was very reliable, after all, there was no gold to be found in the city center, and all the vaults of those banks had been searched, and there was no gold stored at all, and now the only possible locations were those factories that needed to use gold.
This was his only hope, and Old Tang also knew that he was being cheated by Lu Quan, he didn't want this mission to fail completely, which might leave an impression of incompetence in Lin Chen's eyes. At that time, in the coalition government, the voice of his own faction will be minimal.
With the support of Lao Tang, a large army of up to 500 people soon went to the industrial park on the outskirts of the southern district in a large number of troop carriers.
There was no word all the way, and the large army fought to the destination.
But when they came here, they realized why there were so few people in this place.
Dense spore trees spread throughout the factory area, and the spore miasma, which is several times denser than in SH City, envelops the entire industrial area.
From time to time, you can still hear the roars of some insects and beasts.
This is a large gathering place of insects and beasts.
At the same time, there are an astonishing number of spore trees, which can be found throughout the industrial area, which is daunting!
Tang Cheng: "Damn, I kind of know why no one came to this place. This is the nest of insects and beasts! ”
